Chapter Forty Seven

We piled into Elijah's Jeep, the air lighter than it had been in weeks As the engine roared to life and we set off down the road, I glanced out the window, my hand resting over my heart, trying to quet my swirling emotions. I knew this quest wasn't just a responsibility-it was a burden. To be honest I was scared, I remembered the fear I first felt in my encounter with the shadow weaver and knew it this was going to be dangerous. But The weight of my people's future, of my mates' safety, all rested on me.

When we pulled into the driveway, the first person I saw was Eira, standing on the porch of the pack house with a knowing smile, Like she was waiting for us. I stepped out of the jeep, and before I could say a word, Eira approached me.

"I knew you'd come around," Eira said warmly, her piercing blue eyes glowing faintly under the sun. "The goddess has chosen well. Your line has always been special."

I tilted my head, my brow furrowing in confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

Eira's expression softened. "Despite being omegas, your family has always been known for their pure hearts. Purity of heart doesn't mean weakness, Stormi-it makes you strong. It's why the moon goddess entrusted this mission to you. The Shadow Weaver's darkness cannot touch a soul as pure as yours."

I glanced down at my hands, unsure how to respond. I wasn't sure if believed Eira's words. Pure? Strong? Those were not the words I'd ever used to describe myself. I'd always been the forgotten one, the outcast.

Elijah joined me, placing a steadying hand on my shoulder. "She's right, Stormi. You're stronger than you think."

Eira's smile widened as she turned to the rest. "Now, we have no time to waste. You must leave for our headquarters immediately. It's the only place where you can train and prepare for what's ahead

Isaiah, leaning casually against the jeep, folded his arms. "And who's going to protect the pack while we're gone?"

"Yes what if those things attack?“, Elijah asked.

One of the witches accompanying Eira stepped forward. She was tall, with auburn hair tied into a sleek braid, and she carried an air of quiet authority. "That will be our responsibility. The society has assigned us to guard your pack while you're away. Your people will be safe under our watch, young Alpha," she said, directing her words at Elijah.
