Alpha Damian walked with numerous guards flowing along,the crowd looked at him speechless, who had the guts to just walk in like that and demand a princess like she's trash, not even princess with the alpha princess
Just at the moment he worked in Autumn realised the explosion was caused by them, they planted it to have an upper hand.
But sadly, she wasn't fast enough, she also got so tied up with Kendall, that she totally forgot about the explosion and who must have caused it!What a great mistake.
Alpha Dante stood to his feet," look who we are here!"
" Isn't this the almighty Alpha of the shadow pack" just as he said, the entire crowd realised that it wasn't just anybody who had walked in, it was a young conqueror who focused on taking many packs, for him to be here, they must probably be in great danger.
"What honour do we have to meet you today?"Alpha Dante said.
" Like I said before, I will take the one who's alpha seed has just awakened," Alpha Damian said with an evil grin on his face.
" Why will we do that?"Alpha Dante asked, surprised at the dominance in his words, he is just so full of himself,he thought.
" I thought one already exploded, do you want me to show you again?"He asked, making Dante quickly realise.
He still hadn't figured out how Autumn got injured,he just saw it as a normal thing but what his words now,it seemed that it was all his plan.
" Are you still thinking, or you need confirmation" Alpha Damian asked, what he hated the most is time wastage and that's exactly what is doing right now.
" Don't think you can turn the situation around!”
“It's no longer possible," he added.
" what do you want my princess then?" he asked in realisation he didn't have any code to bargain anymore, though she wasn't exactly her daughter, but they were somewhat close.
" I don't think I have to explain myself to you, she's your saviour of course" he said with a smirk.
" Is there nothing else?"Alpha Dante asked,he really wasn't ready to give her up, even if she's not the one meant to save the pack but at least she's the one with the alpha seed taking away meaning they have literally no power anymore.
" oh there is,"
" I burn this whole place, and still take out with me"
" isn't that great?" he said with a sarcastic smile.
After viewing the look of fear on their face and anger on his face he said " I'll give you three days, if she isn't in my pack by then, I'll take it as you choose the other option"
He turned to leave but he suddenly turned back after a few steps
"Don't try to play any tricks, just touch any of them and your pack goes boom!" he said and laughed.
" I guess you should know the way to my pack, if you don't, then I will imprint it in your mind" he said, his army of men following him along as he left.
As soon as he left, all the crowd gathered went back to their various abodes.
" why!?"Alpha Dante asked.
" I can't, I am going to be controlled by someone who is not yet sure to be eighteen" he said in raging anger.
Kendall, Heather and Autumn didn't bother to comfort him, as they were still traumatised by what just happened.
"No matter what, I want to let her go there, it's such a downgrade to my name"Alpha Dante said, still thinking about the glory of his pack, when he heard her say
" I will go,their safety matters more"Autumn said and all eyes turned to her.
" What do you mean you will go?"
" Why would you ever go and be a hostage there?"Kendall asked, she understands that autumn is kind and considerate, but this was just far beyond a reach she was still injured and she's actually planning to be a hostage it's too dangerous.
" don't worry, Kendall, I'll be fine and I will come back hopefully" she said,alpha Dante. walked up to he and said
" this isn't just about you and whether you can bear it?"
" it's about the prestige and honour of the whole pack"
" I get it, it's said the park can't be saved anymore, but do you know about this guy, he is literally a monster"Alpha Dante said trying to convince her to think otherwise.
" It doesn't matter how bad he is, he will become worse if he eventually destroys the pack, I have no one at my back and you will have no chance to save me, it is better to be alive than dead"Autumn said, it seems she had already made up our mind.
" but..." Kendall tried to argue.
"No buts, I will bid my final farewell and proceed with the journey tomorrow" Autumn said, immediately leaving their mist, avoiding more questions
"Dad, you can't let her go, I'm going to be lonely without her,"Kendall said, trying to convince her father.
" you think I want to, I don't have a choice,we don't have a choice"
" you're still saying you're going to be lonely, she's literally going into the lion's den not knowing if she's going to come back alive, and all you care about is you're going to be lonely, please!" he said and walked off, Heather trailing behind him.
" Who else can change your mind?" Kendall thought as she sat on the floor in grave sadness.
"Archer" she muttered as she should remembered him, quickly getting up to her feet to look for him.
Archer ran to autumn as he saw leaping her way closer he held her by the shoulder with great affection in his eyes.
" I just heard what happened, don't tell me you actually agree to his terms"Archer said,he totally knew the kind of friend he has, she would definitely do that for them considering her kind heart but this was already far beyond her life
"what else do you think I'll do, I agreed and I'm going to go there tomorrow, I will still go even if I don't agree, so what's the point?"Autumn asked
"No,you can't go there, you don't know how cruel hearted he is"Archer said trying to convince her to think otherwise.
"Why does it matter, I'm going to die soon anyway, why not do some good be I go?" Autumn asked.
" I already told you stop saying that"
"You are not going to die, there is still chance for us to find the cure, if you remain here"
"You are not dying?" Archer said, rubbing her shoulder.
Autumn snapped and threw his hands away " but that's the truth!" she screamed.
"I am going to die, stop lying to me"
"Guess what, I found the herb, and then I lost it and you say I'm not going to die,who are you kidding?" she asked.
" Let me help a few people before I die, please," she said, walking away slowly into her house.
Tears dropped from his eyes as he felt her presence fade, Kendall soon came running and said to archer " come on let's go convince autumn, she can't go"
She said as she held his hand and tried to run, but felt his force contradicting
She turned to him and asked "what is wrong?"
"Why aren't you moving?"
" It is no use," he replied.
"What do you mean it's not use, I see she favours you more than me and she talks to you more than she does to me"
"So you should be able to…"
" I said it's no use!" he shouted at her in anger.
"Why are you acting like you care now?"
"Aren't you the one who forced her to go"
" If it's not for you, always acting like a cry baby, would she have bothered to left the house with an injured leg?" Archer asked, raging in anger,he just. hated the way kendall will always act and be so pitiful in everyone's faces,he. feels all autumn's problems are as a result of her.
"She came willingly, I didn't force her"
" I care for her too, Archer, don't act like you're the only one!" Kendall said she really couldn't believe he would take this opportunity to insult her.
" You just don't get it !"
"Do you?" Archer asked.
"You are saying,I am acting like the only one, then do you know that she has an heart disease, that she can't leave past twenty, that all the time she goes on mountains, is to find her cure not for fun"
"Do you?" he asked crushing her world into pieces.
"No it's not true, if she did all these things you told me, then she will turn with her own mouth,"Kendall said.
" We are closer than that," she said, not ready to believe him.
"Or so you think, she knows you better than you think,"
" She knows this will be your exact reaction, if she ever told you about her pains, she knows you will never understand,that's why she doesn't talk, that's why she helps you"
"I guess you're too blinded!"Archer said
"No, I have to ask her myself, I don't trust you"Kendall said speaking her true mind she wasn't ready to shatter her world.
Archer stopped her by saying " of course you will"
" why do you care?"
" isn't it that you're going to be lonely after she leaves!"
" you never cared about her, you only care about yourself,"
" care that you're going to be sad,care that you're going to be lonely, you never cared about her, nor did you ever do anything for her"
" you just kept putting her in danger, times of numbers but she won't say anything, because she cares but you don't"
"You should do this one thing for her since you have never done any" Archer said and walked out of her presence
As her heart shattered to pieces,
she sat on the floor not caring whether it would be dirty or not.
She remembered her father's words and remembered Arthur's they were both right.
'She is selfish, all she thinks about is herself,all herself,never did she help Autumn,never' she thought as she broke down in tears.
The caravan was ready and everyone was prepared to send he off,ninety percent of the people in the pack, were present to send her off, everybody knew of her kindness, and everybody loves her
No one could bear to let her go, but it was what they had to do to survive, it's like they had no choice.
" Take care when you're over there,"Alpha Dante said.
" Everyone here will miss you," he said, pointing at the crowd who screamed for her in excitement.
"Thank you all!"
"I will miss you guys too"Autumn screamed back at them,and the people began to disperse.
" I wish I could go with you,"
" But I'll stay here and find the cure for you,"Archer said,his eyes puffy like someone who cried all night.
Autumn nodded in encouragement "I believe in you" she said making him smile
" By the way,where is Kendall?"Autumn asked.
"I can't see her around!"She added.
"Maybe,she forgot and slept off"
"You always woke her anyway,"Archer said, making Autumn chuckle.
"Or maybe she refused to accept the truth,"Archer said.
"Send my regards to her"she said as he turned to leave,by the time everyone had dispersed,the ones leading the caravan said
"We should go now,you have waited for a while," he said.
"Can't we wait a little longer?" Autumn asked, looking ahead like she was waiting for someone.
"No, it is late already,if we don't go now,I am afraid we will be lost in the woods by night" he said and autumn sighed after searching with her eyes.
"Fine, let's go"she said and stepped on the carriage about to enter when she suddenly heard someone call her name from behind
"Autumn!" She turned back and saw Archer running forward with Kendall who had just called her.
Kendall rushed and jumped on her giving her a tight hug,after distangling
“You were actually going to leave without seeing me”Kendall said with a cute pout.
Patting her head autumn replied “I am sorry, but I have consider the journey to atleast you get to see me right”
“Why are you this late?”Autumn asked.
“She slept off and forgot like I said,she really can't do anything her self”Archer said and Kendall shot him a glare.
“I did sleep off but am I not here now?”Kendall asked with a cute smile their was no way she would leave a bad impression before autumn.
“But why is it the both of you coming together?”
“I saw you leaving” Autumn asked confused as to how they were latter together.
“I had just walked a few steps when I saw her looking around like a lost puppy so I decided to help her!”
“Like a gentleman I am”Archer said and autumn chuckled.
“Gentlemen indeed”
“I will be leaving now”Autumn said,weaving them a last goodbye.
She looked at them waving and she waved back as she left slowly.
