Chapter 148: Chapter 148
THIRD POV
Upon seeing the three, Lorelei smiled and folded her arms. "Well, I never expected to. I'll see my partner on the battlefield so soon, Oswald." She rolled her eyes and said it sarcastically.
Lena, Natalie, and Phoebe turned to Lorelei, their eyes filled with shock. "Lorelei, you're from the witch tribe? Honey, do you know anything about this..."
Lorelei shrugged indifferently. She knew that to prevent being kicked out, the alphas didn't inform their wives of her identity. They also helped her to hide her scent and weave a lie, which was the reason the women didn't catch up all this time.
"Well, to save the lives of their wives and their children, the alpha agreed to have the princess of the witch tribe in the werewolf tribe. That's simple." She explained it nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Natalie's eyes widened, and she turned to Finley and the Alpha King. "What? How can you do such a thing and hide it from us?" She chided
"Well, I'm not interested in your chatter," Lorelei interjected, her face dark and cold.
Lorelei smiled devilishly. "Well, I have the witches’ warrior with me here, but how does it feel to have to face your people in war?" Lorelei's eyes swept over the werewolf pack members who were already under her spell, and she smiled proudly. Her lips curled up.
Just as the werewolves are doing their all to destroy the witches, she's also putting her all into finding ways to destroy the werewolves.
"Lorelei..."
"I want you to fight them instead. I wonder how it'll feel to kill your people. The one you've been trying to protect. The one you laughed and cried with?" She carefully asked and laughed sinisterly.
Upon feeling their bodies growing taut and the atmosphere tense, Lorelei waved her hand and chuckled. "But since you guys aren't at your full strength, I can give you a chance. Give me a vial of your blood, including Maia's, and give me Maia and Wyatt's baby. That's..."
"You're joking!" Oswald scowled
"What? It's not your baby; why are you so agitated?" She retorted with a smile.
Immediately, Lorelei pointed at the lifeless members of the power axis pack. "Look, these people are under my spell; with just an order, I can make them kill themselves or attack you. Think about it. Use a baby and your blood to save the whole pack. It's a fair deal..."
"You don't understand languages, do you? Don't think about it." Asher sneered
"You..." Lorelei's face turned cold immediately. "I'm trying to be such a life savior due to the relationship we had in the past. Now carefully look at how these people kill each other. I'll select ten and ten until they kill themselves. Let's see if your power axis will be able to take it." She straightened her back. "Everyone, listen up. I never had the intention to hurt you, but blame your ruthless leaders for being so wicked as not to care about you..."
"Lorelei, how dare you!" Queen Lena interjected with a cold chide. She has taken care of Lorelei sincerely; how can she be so heartless?
Lorelei's finger trembled, and she chuckled. She ignored Lena. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they give Filippa and the baby to her. After all, everything will soon happen as she planned.
The thought of becoming the most powerful person to ever exist made her giddy with joy.
Thinking of how the doctor would soon announce Filippa's and the baby's deaths, a wicked smirk lit up on Lorelei's face. "Now, we'll start. You..." Lorelei leisurely pointed at ten people who, she recalled, were close to the alpha, beta, and gamma families.
Her lips curved up joyfully upon seeing their tense expression.
The pointed people robotically make their way to Lorelei.
Lorelei placed her hand on her head and informed, "Put your hands on your head and twist your neck like this ka-cha..."
The puppet-like werewolf placed their hands on their heads intending to twist and break their necks, as Lorelei informed them.
Oswald, Wyatt, Asher, Hudson, Finley, Natalie, Lena, Arya, etc. expressions went tense, and their heartbeat increased due to helplessness. They can't expect that they'll be losing so soon, even before the war begins. Do they have to watch the whole pack end today?
"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The sudden, loud cries of a baby resounded throughout the whole pack. The cries struck deep into the puppet-like souls, waking them up.
Immediately, a silver power struck Lorelei, causing her to be thrown several feet away.
The impact made Lorelei spit blood and caused her face to turn pale. Lorelei's eyes flashed. How can it be? How can that b*tch give birth despite all the preparations?
Feeling the power radiating from the hospital made Lorelei's face pale. Filippa and Wyatt's baby is multiple times more powerful than Lorelei could handle, and Filippa's power has awoken, which means Lorelei can't do anything anymore!
A silver light overwhelmed the whole hospital. Immediately, screams were heard as the doctor and nurses were thrown out.
Natalie grabbed Finley's hand with happiness. "We are saved. Maia has given birth." She seethed, tears of joy streaming down her eyes.
At a fast pace, Oswald, Wyatt, and Asher became healthy.
Upon seeing the current condition, Lorelei's eyes flickered with fear. There's no way she could win them in a fight now. "Withdraw." Lorelei roared and disappeared the instant her voice fell.
Wyatt's eyes constricted, and he immediately sped into the room. Filippa hovered the bed, silver light oozing from her and her silver eyes blank and lifeless.
Wyatt carefully picked Filippa up with a trembling hand and stared into her silver eyes. "Baby, are you okay?"
Upon hearing Wyatt's voice, Filippa's eyes returned to normal. She exhaled upon seeing that the healing energy she expelled had healed Wyatt. Filippa immediately burrowed into Wyatt's embrace and hiccuped with a stutter, "They wanted to kill my baby and me." Ordered by Lorelei." Immediately, Filippa blacked out.
Oswald carefully picked up the baby boy lying on the bed—a pure-blood lycan alpha. Immediately, Oswald's heart turned warm, and he felt a surge of completion in his heart.
