Chapter 218: LYAL’S SACRIFICE

We drove up the mountains and arrived at Chugach prison, to find Tala, Hunter, and Benjamin waiting for us. The guards stood on alert and they seemed to be tense because of the presence of Hunter.

" It’s good to see you guys but why must we always meet because of trouble " Tala spoke up and we all chuckled at her words.

" I agree," Benjamin said as we shook hands.

" This will be a hard tackle but it needs to be done" Conri noted.

" Come on" I spoke up as we entered and headed straight for Lyal’s cell. We stood outside and watched his back as he was sleeping facing the wall.

" I wonder what could have brought you all here to visit me. Is Lobo or Zineb dead?" Lyal’s voice reached our ears as he turned around and got out of bed. His eyes widened at the sight of Hunter and Tala.

" You are mated?" He gasped at Hunter.

" He is, " Tala responded.

" You seem proud of being mated to a traitor " Lyal responded with sarcasm.

’" I am proud to be mated to an Alpha" Tala leaned on the wall and smirked.

Lyal’s eyes widened as the words sunk in and then he blew air from his lips and demanded " What do you want?"

" Your son is dying, " Conri said.

His face was stricken with pain instantly and he turned around " What son ?"

" Luke Aria, your son is dying, " I said.

" What did you do?" His eyes blazed at me.

" He did nothing" Conri stepped forward and then we watched as he pushed out the power of the king of wolves and showed Lyal the status of Luke.

" Am I the only one seeing this ?" Tala demanded.

" No," Hunter whispered.

" You surprised me, Conri Dolf, " Benjamin whispered.

When the memory receded, Lyal’s eyes widened and then he yelled at me" Why can’t you save him? You are Freki"

" That is the problem. My father’s blood saved his life but his wolf is rejecting it. " I yelled back.

" What ?" Lyal whispered

" His wolf is rejecting the Freki blood. His wolf Aria does not want Freki blood" I expounded.

" Why would that happen? He was doing fine?" Lyal stepped forward.

" Open the doors," Conri instructed the guard.

The guard rushed to open the door and then Conri said " Come on let’s go. "

" What? " Lyal stepped back.

" Your son needs you. You either agree willingly or I will carry you myself. " Conri growled.

" He is my son, why do you care? " Lyal asked but the trembling of his lower lip told us that he was scared.

" Because Conri and I plan to raise Luke as our son. " I emphasized. " That boy deserved a good home and parents who loved him. You brought him to this world without care and here is a Freki again, pleading for his life goddammit" I seethed

Tala walked into the cell and pulled Lyal’s hand dragging him out. We all looked at her in surprise as she pulled him out of Chugach prison and he got into her car.

" What are you waiting for? Let’s go! " She yelled as she got in the driver’s seat.

" You do have your hands full right ?" Conri teased Hunter.

" You have no idea, " He muttered.

" Oh I do," Benjamin drawled.

" I can hear you " Tala scolded and Conri burst out laughing.

" I like her, " I whispered. " I am glad she came along or else we would still be reasoning with Lyal "

" That is true "Benjamin responded as we raced to the cars, boarded, and left Chugach prison.

We followed Tala’s car and then she stopped at the mall near Elder Zaya’s home.

" Why the fuck is she stopping " I wondered as we followed suit and watched her and Lyal alight. Getting out of the car, Hunter’s face was thunderous as he opened the car window and explained " Lyal wants a change of clothes."

" Is he going for a fashion show?" I growled.

" He wants to be presentable before his son. Let him be " Conri defended him.

We spent close to half an hour waiting and when Lyal and Tala walked out of the mall, we all remained speechless. Lyal had gotten a haircut, shaved and he looked like he had taken a bath too. He wore a black suit and blue shirt, new black shoes and we were rendered speechless.

" Well, we can no longer complain about waiting, " Conri chuckled as we resumed the drive and headed to Elder Zaya’s home. When we alighted from the cars and entered Elder Zaya’s home she scolded us and said " What took you so long ?"

We all pointed at Tala and she shrugged her shoulders as she pulled Lyal into the house. I watched the way Elder Zaya raked her eyes on Lyal and then she nodded " I see"

Lyal eyes searched the room and they landed on Luke asleep on the couch with a light blanket over him. He walked over to him, went on his knees, and stared at his son. The sound that came from Lyal was more of a wailing sob and he bit it back and closed his eyes " How did we get here?" He murmured.

" What do you know about the Humanoid spell?" Conri spoke up.

" What is that ?" Lyal wiped his eyes with the sleeve of the suit and then patted Luke’s head.

" When a parent transfers his shifter powers to his child " Tizheruk spoke up.

Lyal turned to him and fear laced his face. " You?"

" Yes, me. I don’t have time for you. I am interested in saving Luke" Tizheruk emphasized.

" You are all strangers to my son and yet you love him dearly. I failed, " Lyal muttered as he stood up.

" You have a chance to redeem yourself "Tala’s voice rose. " Do what is right. He is innocent and should not be involved in the power play between your brother and the pack "

" I know," I nodded.

"I promised Eliana Due that I would take care of Luke no matter what. " Elder Zaya spoke up. " It breaks my heart to see him in this state. Though you and Ducian brought him to this world, Zineb ensured he was raised right. He is a good boy and seeing how his wolf is acting, he wants to live as an Aria"

" Do you not feel uneasy about raising an Aria?" Lyal whispered.

" Why would we feel uneasy? As long as love exists the rest is history" Mrs. Hemming stood up.

" Who are you ?" Lyal eyes widened.

" That is my mother and the two standing there are my siblings, Addison and Aspen." Hunter introduced them. " And that is Elanor. She has been taking care of Luke since they went to Canada. I bet you know Tizheruk and that is Haida his mate"

"Mate? You are mated ?" Lyal’s jaw dropped as his eyes landed on Haida.

" Yes," Haida said.

" Have I been living under a rock? Did Lobo lie to us? I don’t understand" Lyal’s hushed words made us realize that he had been living a sad life.

" He did," Conri emphasized.

Lyal was silent for a moment as he looked around the room and then turned to his son. " All of you being here is an indication that Luke will be raised in a loving home and surrounded by good people. "

" That is correct, " Tala answered.

" You need to promise me that no matter what you will never hand him to Lobo or Zineb" His words were directed to Conri.

’" We promise " We all piped in response and looked at each other in surprise.

" Wow," Lyal said, " You all love my son?"

" Yes," Elder Zaya was the first to respond. " He is even part of my will"

Lyal went down on his knees next to Luke and broke down in tears and Tala walked over to hug him. His racking sobs were so loud and then we all watched Luke raise his hand and pat Lyal’s hand.

Time stood frozen as Lyal raised his head and then stared at Luke in shock.

" He is not awake. It’s his subconscious that has heard your sobs." Tizheruk explained. " I am using my magic to keep his body alive.

" Fuck" Lyal cursed and then turned to me and said " Do what you have to do and save him.

I nodded and then Tala stood up and walked over to Hunter. I moved close and Conri and Tizheruk stood on each side. I pushed my magic powers into Lyal while Conri merged his king of wolves power and we started the Humanoid spell. It took an hour as we felt the life of Lyal slowly diminish and then he breathed his last breath and then I pulled out the power of Freki letting in Aria wolf’s power to Luke. We listened to his mind and his wolf calmed down and settled down and slept.

"It’s done," Tizheruk said

" At a cost of life, " Tala whispered as tears rolled down her cheek.

" Why are you affected by this man?" Hunter demanded.

" Lyal and I were hunting friends hunter. I wish I could have saved him from himself. I regret it so much" She sobbed and I watched tears roll down Elder Zaya’s cheeks and Mrs. Hemming followed suit.

" He did well. He saves his son’s life and ensures his safety"

" There is something else. Lyal and Lobo were twins. I could sense it and if one twin dies, the other will automatically feel it. I may be wrong but Lobo Aria is awakened" Tizheruk announced.
