A/N: So this is the abrupt end of When The Wolves Howl. It's kind of short, but I have decided to make the newer version a sequel to this one just with a different OC and the same romance pairing. The relationship will just take longer to develop considering what shall happen in this last chapter. The new OC will not share any of Keira's abilities other than the fact that she befriends a wolf (normal wolf, not direwolf though they are still alive in the sequel including Amyra). Anyways, this takes place directly after Keira finds out she's Fenrir Stark's (Ned's OC brother) daughter.
Without further adieu:
I own nothing but my characters and their storylines. Everything else goes to their respective owners.
See you at the bottom for a long last A/N!
~Enjoy!~
Keira couldn't believe it.
She didn't want to.
Her father was the Black Wolf? Fenrir Stark, the brother Eddard Stark banished to Essos because of his unmeasurable body count. A man she believed was her uncle and now is proven to be her father. It was too much to think about. So Keira did not leave her tent for weeks nearly, except to get food of course. She avoided Ziof and Xandra at all costs while Balerio remained with her. He was just as shocked as the Stark, but less so and began to worry over the girl. Her reaction was far worse than expected by the other two Seers in the sanctuary, allowing them to speak with their esteemed Master over it. Keira refused to accompany them up to the shrine at the top of the hill.
Because she wasn't planning on staying.
The Stark was in the midst of packing her things when Xandra comes in, "What are you doing?" The Seer receives no answer in return as Keira throws a shirt into her bag, "Keira!" She yells and gets a glare before the Stark walks out of the tent, "Shit..."
Keira doesn't greet nor bid farewell to anyone as she transverses through the camp with Balerio. She was well aware of the fact that Xandra had called for Ziof, but she could care less. She needed to get back. Her heart was calling for Daenerys's. This was also the other problem. She could no longer feel the Targaryen as she could before arriving here. Could her time spent her really have gone by so fast? Fast enough to...Keira closes her eyes quickly, shaking her head free of those thoughts and reopens them when she arrives at the point she and her dragon entered.
Ziof and Xandra attempt to stop her but she walks out, stopping immediately when instead of the desert its a grassy field that had rusty odd structures. Keira narrows her eyes in confusion for a moment until the other two Seers exit through a portal they create. They tense up when they realize where they are and quickly understand why the Stark kept looking around. The Seers knew this would happen, hoping to keep the young Stark away from the portal for a while until she was far enough into their teachings to know about it.
"We're sorry, Kei-"
"Where the hell are we, Ziof?!" Keira interrupts the man and draws her blade to strike him down, not caring about if there were consequences.
Xandra steps forward, "Our home. A thousand years into the future and three hundred after a war that ended the world. Not the one with the dead. This one was with the living. Seers against people who didn't understand our abilities." The Seer looks over to Ziof for a moment, "It is why you do not sense the Mother of Dragons. She is long dead...I'm sorry, Keira."
Keira feels tears brimming, "No...you're lying...I..." But she knew it was true because she couldn't feel Daenerys's lifeforce anymore like she could before, "Why...why did you bring me here?" She grips her sword tightly when Ziof moves around her into the fields.
"The Master brought you here because you cannot be in the way of the real prophecy. The very same one about a dragon and a wolf except it did not mean Jon and your sister, Alise, nor you and the Mother of Dragons." Ziof turns to the young Stark with his hands behind his back, "The wolf it speaks of is not a Stark, but a young woman of no title. Someone who will mend the heart of the dragon you left behind." He hands Keira a letter that was addressed to Daenerys.
She eyes him for a moment with anger until taking the letter to read it. The letter was in her handwriting and it told the Dragon Queen that she wouldn't be coming back because of how much her mother's death hit her. Ziof and Xandra leave before she could use her anger against them, both knowing this was not the right choice but the only possible one no matter how difficult and hurtful it was. Keira falls to her knees as the letter falls from her hands once the tears she held in place begin to fall down her cheeks.
The young Stark wanted to make the Seers pay, but couldn't bring herself to move and rush back into the portal to take their lives.
She was too broken...
Daenerys's hands curl around the letter in her hands.
Jorah stood by her as he reread it for the fifth time.
This wasn't like Keira, but clearly they had no real proof to tell for sure. It was her handwriting and the use of words were her. However, there was no heart to it. Maybe that was because of the very same reason she was leaving for good. But Daenerys didn't want to believe that so she sent out warriors to scour the whole of the Dothraki Sea if they had to. Keira was kidnapped she's sure of it and Jorah didn't want to be on the other end of her wrath, deciding to not say anything when the Mother of Dragons asks to be alone in her chambers.
When Jorah leaves, Daenerys allows tears to fall down as she takes a seat on her bed. She remains like this for hours; even when Missandei comes in to alert her that dinner was made and ready. She did not attend. The Khaleesi could not bring herself to. Her heart hurt as if something were missing but also not. She felt another nearing, and she did not know why. Daenerys wanted to question who it could be but falls into sleep instead, tired from crying. Before she truly falls unconscious, she vows something. TO never trust someone like Keira Stark.
To never fall in love ever again.
A/N: And the rest will be continued in the sequel which should be up in a few days or so. Keira obviously isn't going to show up other than being mentioned and other than that you'll be meeting the new OC that goes through a lot of efforts to kill Daenerys only to never get the chance to. Hopefully, you all will enjoy the sequel as much as this and I hope the ending was a bit to your liking. (I apologize for it not being a happy one, sorry). As I said before, the direwolves will all still be alive and the only one that would show up a lot in the second book is probably Ghost or Amyra. Balerio will still be alive too just stuck with Keira in the future. Myosis is still gonna be helping Keira's sister beyond the wall while Alise is helping Jon. Which allows me to introduce the new OC wolf too.
Anyways, thank you for reading this book!
See you sometime in the future!
