Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 84
She grabbed it and walked to her studying table to take a seat. She opened the book and grabbed a feather pen, dabbing it inside a cup that had bloody ink inside of it.
Mother Mary grabbed a white piece of paper and began to write unknown words on it as she read from the huge book.
As it turned out, Mother Mary was born with the power to see visions. She is a wolf with the gift of vision. However, was her gift a miracle or a curse?
Since she was a child, she had always abstained from people as she always felt she didn’t fit in.
She sees things before they happen, but then before she can do anything about it, it unfolds, leaving her helpless. She sometimes has no idea what to do with the visions she sees, so she believes that anyone born with the gift of vision is cursed, just like her.
Before her parents died, she had seen a vision about it, how they died, and what caused it. But at the same time, she was helpless as she had no solution and just stood there and watched them die in front of her.
And yet again, the same case was about to happen with Mirabel. But this time, she won’t just sit and watch. From the moment Mirabel stepped into the pack, she became a daughter she never had, and as one who loves her very much, she will never sit and watch her die.
She will try her hardest, as hard as she has never tried before, to ensure the survival of both sons and mother.
Mother Mary continued to write down the words she was writing. While she was doing this, up in the sky, hazy clouds were blocking the stars and moon, and the trees and winds were moving and blowing vigorously as though someone was about to go against the will of nature.
After she was done, she took a candle and lit it up, then she grabbed the paper and slowly burned it to ashes. She allowed the ashes to fall into a bowl and took it outside.
She blew on the ashes, allowing them to merge with the wind as they blew away.
Thunder rumbled in the sky the moment she did that, and she raised her eyes to stare up at the dark sky. She took deep breaths with her hands balled into fists and her eyes glared at the sky.
She turned around and sauntered into the chamber, slamming the door shut behind her. “I will not stand and watch.”

Throughout the fourth night, both Mother Mary and Mirabel did not sleep; rather, they waited for the guards to lessen before they decided to carry out their plan.
“Remember, we must not be seen.” Mother Mary said to Mirabel, who was following behind her.
She nodded her head and swallowed before continuing to follow behind mother Mary.
They avoided a few guards and finally arrived in front of a round stone door. They stared at it, and Mother Mary nodded at her.
They joined hands and pushed the stone door, creating an entrance. They stepped in, and the moment they turned around, a long stone stairs came into view.
Mother Mary grabbed Mirabel’s hand and began to lead her up the stairs.
It took them minutes before they arrived at the last staircase. A tall, brownish wooden door stood in front of them, and Mother Mary pulled out a long key from her pocket.
She inserted it into the door and unlocked it. She pushed the door open and yanked Mirabel inside with her, shutting the door behind them.
“Where are we?” Mirabel couldn’t help but ask as she found herself in a completely dark room.
“Shhhh.” Mother Mary hushed her and pulled out a piece of white paper that had blue sand on it.
She poured it into her hands and glanced at Mirabel before blowing on it.
It spread everywhere, and the room instantly lit up, as the stone sand became a little bigger, emitting blue light.
“What…”
“It’s the Laki sand. This one doesn’t have a lot of light, so it will only last for a few minutes.” Mother Mary explained to Mirabel, who was staring at the Laki sand.
She walked to a round stone table in the middle of the room and pressed her hand into the interior of the table, causing the inner part of the table to go in and shortly reveal a round orb that was emitting a dense blue light.
“What is that?” Mirabel asked as she walked forward to stand beside Mother Mary at the table.
“It’s the Blue Miracle.” Mother Mary smiled as she spoke and stared at the blue orb.
“The Blue Miracle.” Mirabel nodded as she repeated, completely clueless as to what the Blue Miracle was.
“It was bestowed upon the Blue Moon pack by the moon goddess a thousand years ago.” Mother Mary glanced at her and began to explain. “Then there was a problem choosing a proper Alpha to lead the pack, and at a certain time, it got worse as brothers fought with their brothers just for the Alpha title.”
“The moon goddess decided to settle everything and bestowed the orb on the Blue Moon pack, calling it the Blue Miracle.”
“Whenever an Alpha of each generation has their child, or more than one, they bring the Blue Miracle out on the day of the child’s welcoming ceremony and present it before the child.”
“If the light shines bright, then the child is the next Alpha, but if the light goes off, then the child is not an Alpha and has no Alpha blood within his veins.”
“Whoa…” Mirabel fluttered her eyes and turned to stare at the orb. “So why are we?-”
“In my vision, the orb emitted no light when it was placed before little Ileus, but when it was placed before little Adrik, it shone so brightly that I lost my vision for a while.” Mother Mary turned her head to look at Mirabel. “Such a thing has never happened to me before.”
“I don’t know if I interpreted my vision correctly, but I think we need to try this because this is the only way.”
“But… What about Ileus? ” Mirabel asked in a cracked voice.
“Don’t worry, both of them will be fine.” Mother Mary smiled at her. “I brought you here because I needed you to see this. When the ceremony begins, you must request for the Blue Miracle to be brought out and used on both of them before any decision to slay one of them is made. ”
“Okay…” Mirabel took deep breaths and nodded her head in agreement.. Hopefully, this will work.
