Chapter 2

  • Holding hands, we arrived at a small village immersed deep in the forest, with few houses made of wood and straw, surrounded by nature, protected by a fence made of large oak trees, one of Jacob's men recognized us, greeted us and let us pass, indicating where to find him, he was in the stables feeding a pretty mare.
  • "What a pair of beauties have come to visit this poor old man" joked Jacob upon seeing them, he was a giant man of almost six feet who adored those girls, just as he had adored his sweet mother Yendra while she was alive, approaching them observing their sad eyes. "What's wrong, why are they like this?"
  • Emma agitated and in a trembling voice says. "Jacob we are in danger, our uncles want to marry us this weekend with Nasir Lennox and Erick Brox, please help us to see how to get out of this, we don't want to be with our father's enemies."
  • Jacob stunned by what he was hearing says. "Your uncles are crazy, how are they going to marry them with that pair of unbalanced and ruthless warriors that belong to the command of the great alpha Darían, they never accepted the marriage of Harry and Yendra for the simple fact of her being from the lands of their great enemies."
  • Emma with sadness and depressed voice tells him. "We understand if you don't want to get in trouble with them for us, but I am desperate, I don't know where to go, or what to do to make us safe from the evil of our uncles."
  • Jacob knew that if he helped the girls run away he would be in trouble, he remembered his friend and the promise he made to her if anything happened to her, he sighed to tell her. "Emma years ago I promised your father that if he was ever missing I would take care of you and I swore before the moon goddess that I would, and I will."
  • Ashley frightened and sobbing says. "But where are we going to go, we have always lived here, this is the house our parents, their memories are here, it is our home and we have no one else to turn to."
  • Jacob paced back and forth thinking how he could help them, then he remembered Yendrá's dad and firm voice says. "I'll take them to their grandfather."
  • Emma confused not knowing who her grandfather was. "What do you mean you won't take with our grandfather, we have never seen him and my mother little told us about him, as far as I know I came in the lands of our enemies."
  • Jacob approaches him and thick voice tells him. "Yes! your grandfather, Mr. Arthur of the Blacach suck, you are in the lands of the North."
  • Ashley opened her eyes like saucers, she was nervous and scared about having to go hide in the lands of her people's enemies, she wanted to speak but the words wouldn't come out of her throat.
  • Emma thought, leaving the lands of the South to go deep into the cold lands of the North is something that never crossed her mind, for her it was always a dangerous territory, worried she says. "Do you think he wants to receive us in his house, we have never had contact with him, and maybe he doesn't want to know anything about us either."
  • Jacob seeing them upset tried to reassure them. "Your mother kept a lot of communication with your grandfather through me since she moved here; Arthur is a man with a strong character but a soft heart, he loved his daughter above all things and suffered a lot when she decided to abandon him to run to her father's arms, at first he did not want to know about them, because he did not understand how his princess could have fallen in love with a wolf from the southern lands, where the enemies who wanted to invade their territories were; time later he accepted that love, I was the channel between them, he is aware of your three grandchildren, for being enemy territories and your mom happen to be of Sallow clan, I could not have direct contact with you, but every time your mother asked me I travel to those lands to give her news of you, likewise see how your grandfather was. "
  • Emma unsure about going to those lands asked again, while trying to calm her sister, who was still sniffling. "Could it be that he wants to receive us?"
  • Jacob with a worried face, for not knowing what can await the girls in those lands, but he is clear that it can't be worse than the hell he is going to live with those men if they stay here, with words of amino he tells them. "Of course it is my girls, besides it is the only option they have to escape the clutches of their uncles and those men who are going to make them suffer."
  • Emma always listened to the people of the village who said that in that territory lived people who looked like savages, who were not as civilized as in this region, there were the most bloodthirsty warriors and the great alpha Darían has always wanted to rule those lands without success, feeling curiosity and at the same time fear she decided to venture into those strange lands, to meet the people of her mother and the one she has heard so much about. "Ok, we'll go, when do we leave?"
  • "tomorrow night when everyone is asleep, it's the only chance you will have to escape, get out of the house quietly" says Jacob.
  • Emma determined to get her siblings out of the hell they live with their family says. "We'll be ready with Nick."
  • Jacob in a confident voice tells her. "We will go on horseback, we will not take a carriage, load only the necessary and warm clothes, you are going to need it in those cold lands."
  • That night they were all gathered at the dining room table waiting for dinner to be served, both girls did not utter a word and for their uncles that was something strange.
  • Elizabeth looked at them with caged lion eyes. "They are very quiet, the mouse got their tongues."
  • Emma looked at her wanting to scream everything she felt for her, she sighed in response. "We took a long horse ride through the village today, we are exhausted Aunt."
  • Elizabeth in a haughty voice reprimanded him. "How could you think of riding around alone on horseback like a pair of savages, you are shameless young women."
  • Ashley with challenging look and haughty voice says. "We rode horses as our mother taught us, I don't see anything wrong with it."
  • Carlos who looked at them with contempt. "What can you expect from the daughters of another savage."
  • Emma looking at him with her blue eyes full of rage and loud voice shouts at him. "You don't have the right to talk like that about our mother, she was the mistress of this house."
  • Carlos with an emphatic voice. "Who do you think you are to talk to me that way, I am your uncle and you respect me, you insolent little girl with no manners."
  • Ashley looks at my sister upset, I try to calm her down with my eyes but I notice that she doesn't change the expression on her face, when she sees that she is going to speak, I couldn't think of anything else to say. "I'm hungry! Let's eat."
  • Elizabeth knowing that soon those two half-breeds would get the hell out of the house, she looks at her husband and says. "Calm down dear husband this situation will last a short time, calm down and enjoy the food."
  • At that moment a servant of the family appeared, announcing the arrival of the alphas.
  • At that moment Romina the nanny of the girls enters who looks at them sadly, to say. "My lords, the alphas gentlemen Nasir Lennox and Erick Brox have arrived."
  • Hearing those names, Ashley jumped with fright, while Emma was with a serene look, she contained her anger and begged with her eyes quietness to her sister.
  • "There's what a nice visitor" says Elizabeth, she laughed out loud like a venomous snake, as she stood up next to her husband to attend to the guests. "Welcome to my home alpha Nasir and alpha Erick, you would like to join us for dinner, if you would like to take a seat next to the girls."
  • Erick glanced at Emma with a perverted look, he was devouring her with his sharp eyes, then he looks at Elizabeth to greet and say with a fake smile. "Mrs. Elizabeth, Mr. Carlos, we were just passing by to visit our fiancées, but we don't mean to intrude."
  • "You guys never intrude." Smiled the woman with a broad smile. "For us it is an honor to have your pleasant company."
  • "Please gentlemen we are delighted with your visit, my nieces are pleased by your presence, they are pleased to share with you our dinner." Carlos says with a sly half smile.
  • Nasir turns his lecherous gaze Ashley, then looks at Carlos with a face of hypocrisy. "If you insist, I'd be delighted."
  • Erick is a tall, thin man, with an elongated face that conveys evil, he is known to be ruthless and cunning, he uses the women in his pack at his whim, with a ridiculous mustache he sits next to Emma.
  • While Nasir, is a fat man, not so tall, a drinker, tobacco smoker that shows in his teeth and with a characteristic smell of rancidity, he settled next to Ashley.
