Alpha Blake novel Chapter 42

  Third Person POV 

  Blake walks slowly and cautiously behind the white wolf. Though he senses the calm white aura of this being, something keeps him a foot and guarded. A feeling in this place that's new, and incomprehensive. 

  The wolf turns as they slowly walk through the trail. His eyes widen and his mouth gawks open as he sees the beauty of the enchantment around them. 

  Many walkabout in diverse attire, and he can't help them feel of stepping into a different place, almost as if time has stood still here; a feeling of being caught inside a time portal. It feels as though he has traveled many decades back in time. The peace and conformity can be felt a mile away, something he had felt each time he'd walked close by in the outside of this world. And he now understands why.

  "This place looks so surreal. It's amazing here." His eyes divert from one angle to the other. With the many trees and plants well taken care of, farm life is evident that no one leaves this place. The people seem friendly and kind, all of them dressed in clothes that look decades old.

  In the midst of it all, an enormous lake embraces a beautiful large cottage with many small cottages around. 

  The Cascades and smaller ponds surround the cottages. His eyes gleamed with wonder. 

  Why had he never noticed this place before? He had passed so many times close by, yet he had never noticed this place before. 

  "Please follow me, your highness. We are almost there. Everyone is expecting you."

  "Everyone?"

  The white wolf pauses and turns slowly, shifting back to his human form. 

  "Yes, everyone. My apologies, but outside of this portal, we are not allowed to shift back. I can shift here to either my human form and leave as a human, or shift to my wolf and leave as a wolf. But I can not transform out there back to my other form. We are limited to our magic. My name is Calisto, at your service. I have served your pack since the beginning of time." Calisto continues to walk towards the cottage and Blake follows, unable to comprehend what is happening. 

  "I don't think I follow. What do you mean you have served my pack? If you're here, then how do you serve us?"

  Calisto smiles and turns slightly looking at Blake as they come to the doors. He waves his hand towards the guards and they signal inside for the guards to open.

  The door creeks with an open as they are greeted by many older looking men inside dressed in old robes sitting around a large wooden table and old handmade chairs. 

  They turn to the sound of the opening and stand. Some gaps and whisper among themselves, others smile and come close to both Blake and Calisto.

  "You found him!" An old man with white hair, a long beard, and old grey eyes embraces Blake.

  He widens his eyes and stands gasped.

  "Yes, your highness. I have finally found Alarick." Calisto smiles as does the old man.

  Blake stands there confused. " I'm sorry did you say Alarick? My name is not Alarick, it's Blake." He narrows his eyebrows in confusion, staring between the two.

  The old man frowns, looking at Calisto with Melancholy in his sight.

  "Calisto why is he-" 

  "My apologies master Dolphus. Harou was right. He does not remember who he is. The transition of his soul to his new rebirth has made him oblivious to his past lives. It seems that things have changed this time around. We must speak with Harou. Seek his advice."

  Dolphus hangs his head in disbelief and sighs as his eyes shut tightly.
