Chapter 337: Side Story 5: The Execution

MOON (Contd,)

It happened all so fast that Ameneris could hardly keep up it. From the motions of her weakened body constantly jostled by the carriage on their way back, to the sight of her father’s head hanging in the distant just at the old palace pack that had been his resident.

What was happening and why was it happening so fast?

Her personal guard managed to fight the way for her through morbid snapping of jaws, and growls of feral things that were dead set on taking her life.

No, not her life. But certainly the kid of her company.

On her own part, it seemed their executors merely eyed... like they wanted to take her away rather than take her life.

They barely managed to make it to a secret passageway that led to the Packs Curreny Residence when Ameneris bolted in, carrying her gown and slightly panting from the extertion.

She had just lost a child. By all mandate, she should take it east. But it was the sight of what laid outside—the strewn bodies, the heads hanging in the sunlight, and the wolves attacking them—that kept her going.

Not before long, she found herself in the Packs Communal Hall, and within it was her husband looking scared and crestfallen. And the elders panicking.

It was the sight that enraged her.

Many times... truly many times, she forgot way too easily that her husband was a mere figure head. Choosen to be Alpha before of his meagre power as a screamer and the fact that his blood would be potent enough to bring forth worthy descendants.

In reality, it was Ameneris that was the true ruler.

"Tell me why you’re all standing instead of fighting?" Ameneris gritted in a low voice that seemed to convey her anger in reverberating waves.

"Amen...." Her husband stuttered on noticing her, "your father is dead." He said pathetically.

"So what?" Ameneris gritted, her anger tearing its face. "The dead will remain dead and the living must fulfill their duty. How does mourning a dead man in the middle of a war help us win this war?"

The elders recovered, looking quite ashamed of their early panic. Elder Malem struck his staff against the ground. "Command us Luna, and we will do your bidding."

Ameneris paused, thinking hard to the flags that had been raised outside where the commotion was more. It was the flag of the Seven Elders of the Witches, and it only appeared where the whole of the East have declared a pack traitorous.

She knew a day like this would come, but she had at least thought they would get an opportunity to fight back. But seeing how the bigger packs slaughtered them, she understood now why her father had been bent on reviving the true way of the pack.

The glory of the Screamers Pack was now a thing of the past and hardly in the present.

With great difficulty she made an address that might be her last. "The ultimate commandment of the pack is that the progenity of the pack will be conserved. We will save Kelkov Screamers with everything in us."

The elders nodded slowly, but her husband was quick to object.

"What about me? I am a true blood of the Screamers Pack? Wouldn’t it not be better to save me than a child who is not guaranteed to survive at such a tender age?!"

Amenities didn’t know when she dissolved into laughter... like mad cackles she could not make sense of.

She knew he had always been like, but the ease to which he was ready to sacrifice his own son was stunning.

"Just hours ago you were recognizing him as your heir, and now, you doubt whether he would live? Fine. I shall give you an answer to your proposal no matter how selfish I deem it to be...." Ameneris trailed, staggering towards the man, the husband, and the Alpha.

"The reason why Kelkov, your son, will be the one to survive instead of you is because his name has not yet entered the pedigree of our ancestors. I am sure you are aware of how tenacious the Seven Witch Elders are. If they are bent on executing the pack, they will not stop until everyone in the pedigree has been executed. Kelkov will be our gateway... our hope."

Her husband bowed his head, knowing he was without any defense. "I understand."

Ameneris scoffed lightly, then smiled a bitter smile. "I have never been... but today, I am truly disappointed in you."

Then addressing the elders she said, "we will fight them and show them the last glory of the Screamers Pack!"

And with that, they all shifted mid air, transforming to their wolves and letting out a terrifying howl that was reminiscent of the true spirit of the Pack.

Her husband’s Alpha Wolf, a Lycan Shifter, stood at the fore. The grey wolf seemed to stare at her sorrowfully, before it darted out, leading the pack.

Ameneris wasted no time seeking Kelkov out. The boy stood fearlessly in his room, as if waiting for an attacker.

She knelt before him, clutching him by the shoulder. "Are you listening catefully to me, Kelkov?"

He nodded in the same manner he did, but noticing the seriousness of their situation, he muttered a ’Yes.’

"Our Pack has been persecuted for centuries, and now they are being executed. Can you be the hope of the pack?"

The boy seemed to observe for a while, then he tilted his head to the side, mysterious brown eyes shinning with ethereal intelligence. "Are you asking me to abandon the Pack, ma’m? I can’t do that."

How was it that courage Ameneris had searched for centuries in her husband was hidden in this small boy instead? Why was their world so cruel and beautiful at the same time.

"I am not ma’m. I am the Luna of the Pack, and one could even say that I am your mother even though I never birthed you."

"My mother...." The boy repeated slowly, enraptured by the words.

Ameneris stood. "Come here, let me show you something."

And they began to make their journey through a secret path that led to the room that held the Pack’s Prized Rune.

On their way, Ameneris told the boy every necessary details he needed to know about the Pack. As much information as she could manage to tell in a limited time.

She only stuck ti the very necessary details. And by the time they reached the secret room, Kelkov, intelligent boy that he was, had already understood the core powers of the Screamers Pack, and the power his scream could possibly possess.

He understood why they were being persecuted, and why his running away was in fact saving the pack in more than one way.

Even though Ada asked Ameneris to absorb the power of the runes, she wasn’t sure she could do it. But she knew she could use the prized artifact of their pack to teleport Kelkov back to where he had come from to them.

"Do you remember what this?"

The boy merely squinted at the item before he answered, "Yes. You said this is the Runes of the pack. The most powerful device the pack has."

Ameneris nodded proudly. "Then you must remember all of its functions?"

"I do."

"Now place your hand on it and envision the place of the Hunters that you came from. It will take you back there."

The boy hesitated slightly, but knowing they were on a battle against time, he did as he was told.

"I hate to send you back to the pits that you once lived in, but believe me when I say you have better fate than most."

The boy shrugged. "The Hunters are not that bad. I am smart enough that I can handle them."

Ambergris smiled, "so you can talk this much."

And that was the last thing she said to him before the Runes started to suck him in. But before he fully disappeared, Ameneris faintly heard his last words.

"Bye, Mother."

But she could not tear up at that because she was soon surrounded by strange people she had never seen. At the fore of them was a red wolf that transformed into its human form.

"Well well... I’ve both the woman spoken in the prophecy, and the powerful Runes of the Screamers Pack. Luna Ameneris, shall I take you by force? Or will you make this easy for us?"

Ameneris narrowed her eyes while the red haired man chuckled. "By force it is then."
