---- is safe and chooses to pardon you!" Asharp, cramping pain lanced through my lower abdomen. I thought of the pup in my body, and I tried to grasp the hem of his tunic. At the end of the corridor ran a middle-aged she-wolf. Asharp-faced she-wolf was Rebecca's mother. She dragged a Witch wolf in black robes towards us. "Alpha Terrence! Alpha!" she shrilled. "This is the Witch who foretold my daughter's destiny! He's prepared the curse-breaking draught! Force it down the throat of the one who cast the evil, and my daughter and grandpup will be saved!" My gaze locked onto the bowl of thick, black liquid the Witch held, and I felt utterly cold. Trembling violently, I tried to scramble back. But the warriors seized my arms, pinning me effortlessly then. "Lila, drink the draught. Once Rebecca is safe... I will plead your case. She is merciful and she will forgive ---- you. Paling further, I shook my head frantically. "I did nothing! I won't drink that !" He sighed with disappointment, then turned his back on me. "Hold her. Pour it down her throat." The warriors forced my jaws open. The foul, viscous liquid flooded my mouth, burning like acid. I choked, gagged, and retched violently as they forced me to swallow. Tears streamed down my face, mixing with the black sludge. "Terrence! You are blind! You... will drown in regret!" Instead, he looked at me coldly. "Lila, wrongdoing demands retribution. This is what you owe Rebecca." Iwas left aside after the torment. Almost immediately, a tearing, excruciating pain exploded in my abdomen, radiating outwards like shards of glass. It stole my breath, plunging my vision into darkness. ---- The little strength I had left drained away like water. I felt warmth, terrifying warmth, soaking through my fur. My wolf was filled with trepidation. "Terren..." I tried to cry out, but only a whimper escaped. From inside the emergency room, Rebecca's voice rose in a weak, pitiful wail, "Terrence... I've failed you... Take good care of our pups when I join the Moon Goddess... This life... our bond wasn't meant to be... Promise me... find me in the next..." Terrence's eyes bled crimson with panic. His voice trembled, "Rebecca! I FORBID YOU TO DIE! I cannot draw breath without you! Do you hear me?!" Silence followed her plea. He lost all control. With a howl of anguish that shook the corridor, he threw himself against the doors, pounding on them with Alpha's strength. "Rebecca! Rebecca! Don't you dare leave me! I love you! I swear it! If you live... I will mate to you! I don't want the next life! I want you! now!"
