Chapter 120

I and Damien had decided to go back to Shadowcrest before it got too late to do anything. From the message that Alpha Logan sent to me, I believe that Lucas was already so angry since his own was now against him. I know he was trying to plan against my clan so we needed to gather the soilders we have and train them immediately. 'I have sent messages to the Alpha's that we met and they already sent out their regards and then their solders to Shadowcrest so they can began to train." Damiem said. 'And what are you two plotting?" Laura asked as she joined us. She had been spending time with her parents and we didn't want to disturb her. 'What are you doing here?" 'I came to see you both. What are you both plotting?" 'Nothing. We are just planning to go back to Shadowcrest." 'Without me?" Laura asked. 'You'll be here with your parents. What did your dad say about supporting us in this fight?" I asked her expecting a positive result. 'He's scared because of what happened in the past but he'll gather courage. I convinced him and he accepted to help. He just doesn't think he can help much since his armies is still growing." 'I understood that but we'll accept help no matter how little." I nodded at her and then turned to Damein. 'Let's do this, can we?" 'Of course, before we get back to Shadowcrest, the warriors sent by the Alpha's would all be waiting for us." 'I'm going with both of you. No doubts." 'You can't go with us." I turned to her. 'Spend time with your parents. They'll obviously stoll come to meet 7s at Shadowcrest so let's leave it at that." I was still speaking when Laura turned to me with smile on her face, she held my hands. 'Naomi, you're the reason why I found my parents in the first place so can we do this together. Remember what the wizard said about us being together so let me help you. Please." I couldn't stop staring at her cute face and then I agreed to her request. We agreed that we were leaving for Shadowcrest as soon as possible. I needed to meet with my mother and Diane and talked to them about Lucas. The next day after meeting with Alpha Eric, Laura's father and his wife helped us to the border and wished us goodluck on our journey. 'What do you think would be going on Shadowcrest?" Damien asked and I shoved my shoulder. We've spent up to a month in this quest trying to gather warriors for this battle and I hoped that we were goingbto be successful in this battle. I had a lot of people who were looking up to me for help and I was never going to disappoint them. I was not going to fail them. Never! Soon, we got to Shadowcrest but it was at midnight when everyone had gone to sleep. I encouraged Damien to go see his sister while I and Laura go see my mother and Diane. When we got to the hut, we were about to knock bu5t then the door opened and it was Diane. 'Naomi? It's you?" She gave me the warmes hug ever. 'Oh I'm so glad you're back." 'Where is Mum?" I asked her and smiled at me. 'She's asleep, come in." We entered into the room and Diane couldn't stop talking. That was when Alpha Isabella woke up. 'Mum? Weren't you sleeping?" I asked her when she jumped up from the bed. 'No, I was but I woke up when I heard your voice. Come givee me a hug, I'm so glad you're home." It was truly a beautiful moment with the women I cherished. We didn't even go back to sleep because we were talking so much about my Journey. I told them how we were almost killed, how I made the healing oil and healed a Luna, it was such a nice story and they didn't wait fir me to finish the whole story. Finally, I told them how we found Laura's parents and how they welcomed us. Later during the early hours of the day, they slept off because they were so tired. I unpacked my bags and because it was morning, I went to go see Damien and met Emily. 'How have you been Emily?" 'I've been doing fine." She answered, then paused. 'Thank you for bringing my sister back to me." 'Oh, I'm so glad that you're happy with me." 'He told me about everything you guys did. Thank you." 'Don't Thank me, it is my Job to protect my people so you don't have to worry about anything. I really hopeythat everything we have put in plan will work out. It's time to put Lucas in his place." 'Yes and if you need help, don't hesitate to tell me." 'I doubt if your brother will let you fight but I'll let you know if there's something you can do for me." 'He's actually still asleep. Should I wake him up?" Emily asked me but I told her not to wake him since I didn't want to disturb him. I was about to leave when he woke up. 'I wanted to enquire about the warriors. What's up with them?" 'They're doing well with their training. Someone is here to see you." Damien said, gazing at me. I knew something was weird when he told me that because I didn't know anyone who would be looking for me. 'Who?" I asked and waited till he brought the person. 'Thorne?" Is that you? What are you doing here?" I couldn't believe my eyes, Thorne was standing eight before me and I had nothing to tell him. I stammered as the words refused to come out. He still looked the same. 'You don't have to say anything, I just want you to know that I'm very ashamed of myself and I'm very sorry for what I did. That was very selfish of me." His apologies made no sense to me, I was really upset that I walked out of him. Laura asked me what the problem was and I told her that who I had meant and she didn't believe it herself. 'Why is he back? Did he say the reason why he wanted to be back? Did he say the reason why he left in the first place?" 'I didn't give him the chance to say anything to him. I was too angry to listen to him, I was too upset to even look at him. I don't want him in my life, not now, not ever."
