Chapter 4 Hysteria in the forest

In a place far away from there at that very moment Santos

curses the old she-wolf witch, and once again considers the possibility of

killing her. And once again he is aware that he cannot do this, because

although she was crazy, there was no one better than her at spells and visions

of the future.

It turns out that

it had been more than half na hour since the old woman had been dancing around

the fire and shouting the same nonsense:

"It's happening,

it's happening, he's going to find her and Boom, yes yes it's happening, he's

the strongest of them all, and she's the most powerful and dangerous and now

who can stop the wheel of fate, and who will decide if they will end up

together or if she blows everything up, and we all die, yes yes yes it's

happening"

And just when Santos

thinks she has stopped , she is just taking a breath to start all over again.

"Hell damned Witch

shut your mouth" Santos shouts and growls with all the fury of his wolf, making

all the birds around reach for flight away from there.

Once again he

thought about killing the old woman, but her face appeared in his mind .

Now for the umpteenth

time he curses Estela not caring that she is dead, he stopped suffering for

this a long time ago, more or less sixteen years ago he thought that all was

lost, because the damned Estela fell in love with the alpha with whom she was

already living undercover for two years, but that didn't stop her from showing

up one day and making mad love to him , This moon appears once every thousand

years and he thought he was blessed because his companion abandoned the comfort

of a gang to go to him, the king of the rogues, to spend that special night

with him. He had infiltrated that gang because they had a plan to take over the

place and then the kingdom, and Estela supported him in everything, but not

that night. As soon as they finished making love, Estela looked him in the eye

and rejected him as a companion, saying that this alpha Dilan was a good man

and that she was in love with him, I almost went crazy for a whole year, and

left command with Brad , damn Brad, who ordered the attack on the bloody moon

gang where Estela was killed.

Afraid of my

reaction Brad fled, but exactly one week ago I found him hiding in the hole he

called home, and before he died he told me a very strange story, that Estela

died that night to protect a baby that had my birthmark on its wrist.

Brad could not tell

me if the child died in the attack or not, which is why I traveled for days on

end to find the witch to find out if the baby is alive and most importantly if

it is my son or daughter.

At first she was normal and asked me for some of my blood,

which she threw into the fire and then she went into a kind of trance and then

she started spinning and singing:

"It's happening,

it's happening, he's going to find her and Boom , boom yes yes it's happening,

he's the strongest of them all, and she the most powerful and dangerous and now

who can stop the wheel of fate, and who will decide if they will end up

together or if she blows everything up, and we all die, yes yes yes it's

happening"

Santos is pulled out

of his thoughts when the old woman starts all over again.

And he curses once

more without realizing that not far away a very well dressed man is watching

the scene hidden.

This man was Severus

who had gone there to get more of the poison he had been using on the old

woman, but he hid when he noticed that she was not alone, after all no one

could ever know that he came to that place, after all he was the king's most

trusted man, and now he observed the scene abashed, he had never seen the witch

act like that, which made him wonder who that rustic looking but powerful man

was, and what he had asked the witch that had left her like that.

Resolving not to

take any more chances, since his plan has gone so well so far, Severo turns and

silently leaves the place, but in his mind it still echoes:

"It's happening,

it's happening, he will find her and Boom , yes yes yes it's happening, he is

the strongest of them all, and she the most powerful and dangerous and now who

can stop the wheel of fate, and who will decide if they will end up together or

if she blows everything up, and we all die, yes yes yes it's happening"

Santos looks at the old woman's crazy dance, and for a

moment almost finds it funny to see those thin, weak legs making such jerky

movements, but then he thinks of the time he is wasting there with the old

woman's craziness and wonders if he should leave, maybe come back tomorrow. But

this only increases his anger, he had a war to plan, he could not afford to

stay there and watch the old woman dance, nor return the next day.

But once again

Estela's smiling face appears in his mind, preventing him from leaving.

He couldn't just

barge into the Bloody Moon gang and ask "I my fellow traitor by any chance left

my baby here?"

He looks up to the

sky and asks the moon goddess for strength to endure that old woman and that's

when it happened.

The old woman

stands in the deepest silence staring at the fire in a frightening way, and

before I can ask her anything she lets out a laugh so horrifying that I feel

chills run down my spine.

She stares at me

and moves closer, mumbling disconnected things and grabbing my hand and looking

at the mark on my wrist.

"The child spawned

in the red moon lives, and its blood runs in it," she says in na ethereal voice

.

Before I can ask

anything else she starts dancing and singing again:

"It's happening,

it's happening, he will find her and Boom , boom yes yes it's happening, he's

the strongest of them all, and she the most powerful and dangerous and now who

can stop the wheel of fate, and who will decide if they will end up together or

if she blows everything up, and we all die, yes yes yes it's happening"
