Rejected His Miracle Luna (Dorothy and Ignatius)

Chapter 59

-Johan-

My Tally brethren were wanting for me when I returned My b*dy had begun to slow on the journey back

to base camp and 1 popped my dislocated shoulder back into place for the fifth time that day as I

waited for her to make an appearance,

I was held up by two other shifters and we all looked up at the stroll hideout built into the trees. My b*dy

would not last for much longer without her. I waited with bated breath as she came to stand at the

window of the tree line hideout and gazed

down

A moment later she was scaling down from the trees like she had been born in the branches. The

small, slender woman who had given me new life

“Johan,” she said with a smile. “Welcome back”

I removed my arms from the shoulders of the other two shifters in order to get down on one knee. My

joints popped and grated like an unoiled rusty machine. 1 needed my mechanic and a few new parts

“My Lady of Tally.” I said. “I have good news. The Bielke has been in chaos the past two days

Their upcoming Alpha letvatnus has staged an attack on their own elder court and taken power for

himself. Elliot has been banished but he still roams the perimeter like he plans to attack This is the

perfect time to strike.”

She extended a hand towards me and gently touched my rotting jos. “You’ve done well, Johan. I think

it’s time to replenish

I closed my eyes at her tender sich. My b*dy was falling apart at the seams, beaten and broken from all

the wear and tear af mix recent endeavors. Her gentle touch was all I needed to push on

“I would appreciate that

The Lady Tally withdrew her hand and folded her arms “You say Ignatius has taken control of the

Bielke)”

She was so much smaller than the other monstrous members of her pack. But something about her

demanded reven and everyone within rage was more than happy to bow to their unusual leader. We all

owed her our lives in one way or another. She had saved us all and her powerful magic had made us

1 nodded my head, irritated with my creaking spine as I did so. “Yes. The Bielke has a new Alpha. And

Dorothy is now their Lun. They caught on to my tre sp a ssing and foiled our plan to manipulate the

elders. But it has all worked out in our favor regardless. We have caused enough disarray to be sure of

our victory”

She looked past me, lost in thought for a moment Ignatius has overtaken his father. How time thes

I gazed at her quizzically but the ignored me and named away. “Come along then let’s his you up,”

The other two shafters helped me to my feet and I limped after the lady towards a small canvas tent

that served as our medical center for the time being. Our leader drew the curtain aide and guided me

into the dark enclosure

Inude the tent was a jumble of various tasks and beakers along with dozens and dozens of dried bones

and twisted deer

There were skulls too deer skulls, all of them corrupted and deformed in some way No normal deer

should have teeth that sharp

in

I was lowered to the ground to the center of the feat as Lady Tally began mixing vials of di ck liquid. I

watched as she added a drop of what looked like blood to the bubbling mas male of salear jar

She sprinkled

my Lady’s inqurst

motioned for the other daters to

wax just the two of us to the tent before speaking “Johan”

Her voice was an ethereal chime, a tinkling of little bells in a pack so harsh and gravelly. “Do you know

how I came to discover this magnificent blend of magic?”

I stared at the churning black liquid in the jar in her hands. She held it up to my face, a look of pure

pride and pleasure in

her fine features.

“No, my Lady. But it was a stroke of genius, no doubt about it.”

She smiled widely at my comment and I was relieved to have sail the right thing. She was wonderful

when in a good mood, she was terrifying when she was not.

“The secret,” she said almost euphorically as she gloated over her concoction, “is witches’ blood. It’s

difficult to get your hands on, but you’ll find the woods are full of it if you know what you’re looking for.”

I watched as she dipped one boney linger into the jar and brought a drop of the liquid to her lips. She

had fed our entire army with her dark elixir but I had never before seen her touch the magic liquid

herself

She licked the drop from her finger and closed her eyes.

“It was forbidden magic,” she said, keeping her eyes closed as she spoke. There was a bitterness to

her tone. “In all my years. of dabbling in witchcraft, there were rules that were never to be broken.

There was a strict order to things, to life itself.”

She opened her eyes and gazed at the jar in her hand. “It wasn’t until I decided to question those rules,

to break those rules, that I was able to achieve such power. Breaking the rules cost me a great deal,

but it also gave me my freedom. And freedom is worth any price

Lady Tally cupped my head in her hands as she leaned over me. My jaw was slack and hanging ajar at

that point and sher held the jug above my open mouth. “Remember that Johan. Don’t ever let yourself

stray from your goal.” She tilted the jar and poured the oozing obsidian liquid into my mouth. “Freedom

is worth any price.”

It went down bitter. It flowed like liquid down my corroding throat but it congealed It

Jelly when it touched my si burned like it was going to dissolve me from the inside. I had undergone

this process time and time again since I had first been coaxed out of the woods by the strange leader

of the Tally, but I had still not grown numb to the pain.

Lady Tally forced my jaw shut as my b*dy bucked and spasmed in a horrific seizure. “It’ll be over soon,

dear,” she crooned, stroking my forehead with one hand and digging her sharp blackened nails into my

jaw with the other. “Don’t spill a single drop, this is a precious supply after all”

My b*dy was set ablaze as the liquid burned through my veins. My knuckles cracked and my fingers

splayed out and moved like a pianist performing passionately in his sleep. I felt myself dying all over

again, as I did every time I swallowed the magical potent liquid.

After one final spasm that threatened to cra ck my spine in two, I felt my b*dy fall limp and the Lady let

go of her grip on my chin. She cordially wiped a trickle of the dark potion from the comer of my mouth

and patted my forehead as I lay in the dirt beside her..

My pupils expanded as my reformed b*dy accepted its death and all of my newly healed muscles

relaxed. My heart did not pump and no breath escaped my lungs

My b*dy was dead, but I was still there. So too was Julianna who growled in my cold chest with a new

wave of bloodlust.

I didn’t panic as I had the first time when I found I was unable to get any kind of response from my

b*dy. Instead, I waited patiently and the slender woman at my side waited too. Minutes ticked by slowly

until finally, I heaved a small breath of fresh air into my empty lungs

“Welcome back, Johan”

I flexed my fingers hesitantly, testing out my new limbs and muscles. I felt stronger than ever. I felt

reborn. My mouth. twisted into a grin as I gazed at the Lady Tally.

Once again, I was a force to be reckoned with and it was all thanks to her. She made me stronger and I

would always be indebted to her for that.

I pulled myself to my feet, stretching and flexing as I did so.

“Thank you, my Lady. It’s good to be back.”

There was a battle ahead. My vengeance was almost within r that passed in and out of my lungs

reach. My heart did not heat and I had no need for the oxygen

The Johan I had been was dead and yet I had never felt more alive.
