The entire pack have heard about Tangy, and they have been ordered to look for her, wherever she is, and bring her back to the palace, where she will face the punishment of being beheaded, Infront of her family and friends.
Leo heard she ran away, and was hoping she would contact him somehow, so while he was sitting in his living room, with Medline, he heard a whistle, that was how she used to summon him, when they were still lovers, and he just jerked up, and looked around.
Medline, stared at him, wondering why he was getting up.
"Is everything okay? She asked.
"Everything is fine, I just remembered that I was supposed to get some milk from the store, for Dudu". He lies.
"But Dudu is already asleep, you could get it tomorrow ". She says to him. He didn't want to raise suspicions, already, their union is headed for crash.
" I guess you are right. I will be back, let me take a walk and stretch my legs, I feel pains on my thighs". He just needed to be out, but before he stepped out, she stopped him half way, touching his hairy chest.
"I know we have not been the very best couple, but I am willing to try, and make this work. I don't want us to fight anymore, so instead of taking a walk, why not come into the room, let me help you massage your legs? She was trying to sound seductive, but Leo, just needed to be out.
"That is a good thought. Hold that thought till I am back". He says, and gently pushed her out of the way, while pretending to limp outside, when he saw that he was away, from eye shot, he ran into the dark street, as he shape changed immediately, following her scent. He kept going, till he got to the bush, leading to the outskirt, he paused, but he could still perceive her, so he gently followed it, till he got into the woods, then the scent became stronger around him, he knew she was there.
"Tangy please come out, we need to talk". He begged, and she showed her face. She didn't know how to approach him, she is not sure if he would welcome him, or he would be quick to call the guards on her, but whichever way, he was her last hope.
"I am behind you". She says, and he turned briskly, he was about to rush into her arms, when she raised her hand to stop him.
Stop there. I know you want to take me away, but I just think you deserve to know why I did it". Leo looked shocked at her.
"I don't care why you did it, and I will never do that, take you to the palace or call the guards on you? I will never do that". Tangy looked a bit surprised, but within her, she was happy.
I told you to leave him and come to me, and you refused, now what are you going to do? And by the way, you shouldn't have slayed the human, now I hear he is about to perform an old tradition that will bring the human back to life. You know the story of the only wolf that had been brought back to life, you remember what happened. She being a human, might even be worse".
"The witch made me do it. She cut him short. I would have left him, but my father warned that he never wants to see me with you. He reminded me that you have seen your mate and you are with her already, with kids, there is no space for me in your life. All I needed was to make a space for myself.
The witch told me, she didn't want him, that she has a lover, whom she will go back to, as soon as Jayden returns from mountain cave, I even saw her lover, so I foolishly believed her. She told me I have a chance with Jayden, only if Blair, was dead, she convinced me to kill Blair, which I accepted to do. She brought the portion, and I poisoned her drink, and that was how it happened. I am so sorry, I should have listened to you, and damn every other situation, I should have just left". She started sobbing.
"You are stronger than the witch, why did you let her manipulate you like that? Now she is the one in the house, but even she will not last, for if the ritual works, we might all be in danger, and she won't be able to stay back".
"I am not going back to him, for I know what awaits me, but now that I have no where else to go, and have been roaming the woods for the past one week, I know Jayden should not be allowed to bring the human back to life. She will be fierce and she will be an enemy, that will destroy the mightiest and strongest".
"What are you saying Tangy? Leo looked confused.
"You need to go to Sodom, tell him that you saw in a dream that the ritual will end up badly, so Jayden should not get involved in it, please, it will be bad for the entire pack".
"Why do you still care about the pack? The will behead you if they find you. They took us away from each other, and they care only about themselves. Even the moon goddess doesn't care about us. Look at what they did to us. We loved each other Tangy, and even though I am with Medline, it is only because of the children. It is you I love, I have always loved you and will never stop loving you. let us run away from here together". She raised a brow, and moved closer to him. After all she had done, someone was still willing to runaway with her? She couldn't believe it.
"Leo, what are you saying? She spoke with a broken voice, filled with emotions.
"Run away with me". He repeated himself.
"That would be too much a sacrifice for me to allow you undertake for me, but maybe giving you something Jayden never took, something I hold so much in high esteem, will be better. My body.
Leo watch her let down the rope, she used in covering her naked form.
"Are you sure about this? He asked, as he took a step closer to her.
"Positive". She replied.
