Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 57

"King Remus is not an ally, he is our enemy. We are only here to monitor Alpha Connor and use him in the future as our leverage against his father, when the time comes." Diana informs Darla. "What? So why are we even in their territory and helping them? If he is not an ally, why are we even friends with them?" Darla becomes more confused.

"It is not easy to be a woman, Darla. We are expected to act in such a way as if we are programmed to toe the line. But three powerful witches decided to go against this tyrannical society that we live in where men dictate what women should do and how they should live their life. Your grandmother is one of those 3 powerful witches that made a historical change within the werewolf kingdom."

"The system of having resident witches is not a sign of collaboration or support to Alpha werewolves. It was made in the true sense of monitoring the Alphas and making sure that they will be stopped once they become a threat to the innocent. This was a stand as a woman that being a woman will be a catalyst for a better future and a better change."

"Unfortunately, your mother got trapped into King Remus's mind games and has been enslaved into his control." Further explained by Diana.

Darla starts crying as she replaces out that her mother is alive.

"I thought all this time that my mother was dead."

"No, she is not and it is time for you to train yourself for the upcoming war. We will sneak into the royal palace together and free your mother." Confidently declared by Diana.

"I will free you, mother! Please wait for me." Darla promised to herself while crying.

After a few days...

Louve is having an intense sparring session with Arnold, a fellow member of the newly formed Golden Crew.

Loud exchange of blows and groans from strong strikes from each other could be heard all over the training ground.

At the same time, Giro is tasked to lead training amongst the rogue werewolves. Alpha Connor thought that having Giro as the leader for the rogue werewolves will be easier to monitor and earn their trust if someone likes him will lead the group.

"For the females, you will join the crazy training over there which is led by Louve." Giro instructed the other female rogue werewolves to join Louve's training for all female training.

Other male rogue werewolves scoffed and chuckled by the mention that Louve is leading a training session.

Giro did not like the reaction of some rogue werewolves.

"If some of you think, you can stand against Louve, then let me remind you that she is the current strongest warrior in Dark Moon Pack and has never been defeated by any warrior in this wolf pack! So, think twice before you mock and underestimate Louve just because she is a woman."

The rogue werewolves went immediately into silence and felt embarrassed after Giro pointed out such awakening realization that women can be stronger than men.

All female warriors stand in front of Louve. Each of them are impressed seeing Louve beat Arnold easily with no difficulty.

"Damn, you really don't go easy on anybody." Arnold smiled and expressed his genuine observation regarding Louve, before leaving Louve with the female warriors. "Thank you, Arnold!" Louve said to him while smiling.

She looked at the female warriors in front of her and said, "Now, all of you must remember that in every fight, not all the time you must overpower your opponent. Knowing where and when to strike is one of the most basic fundamentals in battle." Said by Louve in front of the female warriors.

"You can say that because you have powers and other unique abilities but how about the ordinary werewolves like me who have no powers nor unique abilities in our arsenal to even stand a chance against a stronger male werewolf." A female rogue werewolf shared her own opinion with a worried tone.

Other female warriors and even Marissa who is observing the training session seem to agree with the female rogue werewolf's point. Even some of them nodded in expressing their affirmation to the point raised by the female rogue werewolf.

"Never underestimate yourselves! As a woman, always expand your horizon and never restrict yourselves within a box or cage just because others told you that is only what you can do.

Unique skill or power does not define your total strength or capability as an individual. The mere fact that you are a woman, it means you are strong being." Louve giving her speech towards the female warriors who are slowly being convinced and realizing that Louve is allowing them to see such part of themselves that they thought existed within them.

"All of you must prepare because all of you will undergo crazy training with me. This will be a hellish experience so I hope no one will quit on me. Is it understood?" Louve asked them.

When there was a weak reply, Louve repeated the question.

"I could not hear you all, is it understood?" Loudly asked by Louve.

"Yes, Maam!"

Marissa beamed with her smile witnessing Louve inspire the female warriors who have been underestimated and restricted their potential for a long time.

ལ

Meanwhile, after a crazy training session with Daina in the hospital laboratory, Darla prepared something on a table which she plans to try without the supervision of her mentor. "Since your birthday is near, a gift is necessary..." Darla concocting the potion of her own.

An eerie and threatening look has formed on Darla's face while concocting the potion she intends to make.

Darla was walking her way back to her house after finishing the special gift that she plans to give Alpha Connor on his birthday through Louve since she lives within the mansion. Diana has no idea though that Darla has her own ulterior motive and plans for the birthday of Alpha Connor.

But there was one individual who was able to detect Darla's devious plan.

Theo, the disciple of the Great Oracle appeared right in front of Darla after hiding from the shadows of the trees.

"Where do you think you are going? You thought no one will know about your special gift for the Alpha." Uttered suddenly by the powerful warlock.

"Professor Theo?" Darla expressed her surprise at the sudden appearance of their professor.

Unknown to her that Professor Theo is a powerful warlock who is currently disguised only as a professor in the Moon Academy.

Theo has been observing Diana's movements lately and he was able to sense Darla's magic growing exponentially through intense training with Diana.

Though it caught his attention when Darla successfully casted a deceptive spell that protects someone from any detection.

Accidentally, Theo winds up at the right time and the right place when spying around. It allowed him to secretly witness the young Darla perform such a spell at her age. But what surprised Theo was the hexing spell imbued with a poisonous potion that renders a threatening vibe to any target.

"I think you need to drop that dangerous thing on your hand." Theo requested from Darla.

A long silence and Darla's could not look straight at Theo.

"Or else what?" A hint of tension came from Darla's reply.

One of the objectives Theo made when he decided to discreetly visit Dark Moon Pack was to make sure the safety and protection of Alpha Connor since he owes the late Queen Katherine his life.

"It seems that you have discovered something important and you are planning to do something about it with your own hands. But the question is, are you ready for the consequences of your actions? Oh, dear granddaughter of Athena!" Theo's remark towards Darla. If you are not reading this novel on Jobni b.com, some sentences are incomplete. Suddenly tears fell from Darla's eyes. Not realizing the consequences of her actions but it felt so right for her every time she remembers her mother at the hands and tyranny of King Remus.

"Then, should I turn a blind eye from the suffering of my family because of the father of Alpha Connor? A blood for a blood, a family member for a family member!" An emotional outburst from Darla, justifying her own scheme against Alpha Connor. "You are still too young to even commit such atrocity. I know the ordeals and sufferings of your family but you can never right a wrong with another mistake!" Theo's advice towards Darla in his attempt to diffuse her anger.

"I do not care if I am too young, so what!" Quick retort by Darla.

"Indeed love can kill. A love for a family or someone special can make someone do something drastic as harming someone's life. Is this really what your heart truly desires? Commit something evil. Be someone like the people you hate that much. And resort to something that your mother or grandmother would not want for you to do so? Because once you give that gift to Alpha Connor then there will be no turning back. You may become a dark witch after this night if you pursue your plans." Further explained by Theo.

The things Theo mentioned seem to take Darla's attention as she starts to ponder the reminder of her grandmother.

"Whatever happens dear, always remember not to choose the easiest path in achieving things which is going to the dark side. Never put justice on your hands because you feel that it is right. Let fate and karma do its bidding for you. God never sleeps, my dear! Always choose to be good rather than to be evil..." The voice of her grandmother suddenly became a reminder to her.

Then slowly, Darla finally dropped the supposed gift that she was planning to present to the Alpha Connor.

Darla slowly went down to her knees and cried her heart out for being miserable. Feeling of loss, despair and misery were vented out with her cries.

Immediately, Theo slowly approached Darla and comforted her.

The powerful warlock assisted Darla to get back on her feet and instructed her to go home and rest.

As Darla started to go ahead back to her home, Theo looked at the gift.

Then the great and powerful warlock released a powerful energy blast that melted the gift and burnt into acidic liquid.
