It was unclear when, but now Rowena realized that she enjoyed wandering through the forest. Alone, with no one to accompany her, she felt the warmth of the forest embrace her with love. Her empty soul was filled, her silent world enlivened by the gentle whisper of the wind and the rustling of the leaves. Each step she took brought her a soothing peace.Rowena's footsteps stopped just as she emerged from the dense canopy of tall trees. Now there were no trees to block her view. So, she lifted her face and her eyes fell on the full moon.Rowena smiled sweetly; her eyes filled with the sparkle of love. Her feelings warmed, and unconsciously her hand rose as if to reach for the full moon. Then her lips spoke softly: "We will meet again, Ivan.”Her hand lowered again and Rowena gave one last smile before continuing her journey. She re-entered the Amerotha Forest, and not long after, a loud roar was heard.Rowena quickened her pace, her heart pounding with unstoppable enthusiasm. She almost
It had always been safe. Besides, the Moon Necklace was not an ordinary object that could be easily misplaced. The reason was that the Moon Necklace was a sacred artifact of an ancient sorcerer whose greatness was legendary, passed down from generation to generation with the utmost care and respect, and only their descendants could use the Moon Necklace because its power was closely tied to their souls. Therefore, it was impossible for Rowena to lose the Moon Necklace without noticing. Of course, she would notice if something happened to the moon necklace. In fact, she should have been able to sense any abnormality when the Moon Necklace disappeared from her.But in reality, Rowena didn't feel anything. For days, her feelings had been normal, peaceful as usual. Especially a few moments ago, she hadn't felt anything strange at all.So, it was understandable that Rowena needed some time to digest the situation. She pondered what was happening, gazing intently at Usher before shifting he
Usher accepted the antidote with mixed feelings. He held the antidote tightly, his fingers squeezing it as if to convey the immense hope he placed in it, yet unable to suppress the other worries that arose.Rowena frowned, noticing the change in Usher's expression. "What is it, Alpha? Is something wrong?""Rowena." Usher swallowed the lump in his throat. He raised his face and looked at Rowena with a confused expression. "I hope the antidote you gave me can cure me, but what if Mireya takes further action and I can't protect myself?" There was bitterness and fear, rebellion against the unexpected. "I may not have found any proof, but my intuition tells me that Mireya's people are already in The Palace." He shook his head in despair. "It could have happened a long time ago."Rowena fell silent. Usher's concerns sounded reasonable. He feared that the recovery of his past self might force Mireya into unexpected actions. Besides, his past self was now under Mireya's control. Therefore, be
The Past Vione didn't hope for much when she woke up, just as the morning sunlight managed to penetrate the thick curtains at the window and disturbed her eyes. At that moment, a few seconds before she opened her eyes, a fleeting, sad thought crossed her mind. Usher must be gone. He must have left.But the heart of The Past Vione had its own will. Her logic told her not to hope, but her heart did the opposite. In fact, deep in her heart, she wanted to see Usher the moment she opened her eyes for the first time. She wanted Usher to be the first person she saw before she started her day.The Past Vione took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She steeled herself as she turned her body and a stabbing pain throbbed in her heart. My guess was right. Usher has already left.It took a moment for The Past Vione to regain control of the wave of disappointment. She calmed herself by saying over and over, "You know, this isn't the first time Usher has done this, but it doesn't mean he's underesti
Suddenly, a soft voice interrupted the conversation between The Past Usher and The Past Vione. They both turned to the source of the voice and found Mireya arriving.The Past Vione closed her mouth when she saw that Mireya had arrived so early and at such a perfect moment. Mireya came just as she and the Past Usher were having a disagreement. She was sure that Mireya would only make the situation worse."Mireya."Mireya approached The Past Usher, who immediately got up from his seat. She glanced at The Past Vione before asking The Past Usher. "What tonic are you talking about?""Oh, that," The Past Usher muttered indifferently. "Vione said she put tonic in my morning tea. She said it was to keep me fit."Mireya narrowed her eyes. "To keep you fit?""Yes."Mireya paused for a moment before looking at The Past Vione. She stared at The Past Vione for a moment with an expression that was difficult to interpret. The Past Vione scoffed."Why?" The Past Vione asked defensively. "Are you tryi
Usher dramatically closed his eyes. His face flushed red; his jaw clenched to contain his rising anger. But a second later, his right hand balled into a fist and he slammed it down on the table with full force.The rage that consumed Usher was beyond measure. The hope he had come so close to realizing vanished in an instant, all because of Mireya's presence.Usher's plan had failed. The Past Usher did not take the antidote Rowena had prepared. On top of that, another fight broke out between The Past Usher and The Past Vione. Everything was a complete mess.Despair was creeping in and threatening Usher's resolve. It seemed that all his efforts so far had been in vain. A question popped into his head: What if the past really can't be changed?As soon as the question appeared, Usher shook his head. He dismissed the negative possibility and took a deep breath. He knew the only thing he had to do now was to stay calm. He couldn't afford to be swept away by a wave of emotions that could bli
Mireya planted a kiss on The Past Usher's lips without a trace of shame, even though they weren't alone. Garth was there, too, and he quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes as the sound of the kiss echoed.Garth held his breath, suppressing the pain in his chest. He felt sorrow for the past Vione and all he could do was pray."I'm going home, Usher. I hope you won't stay up too late."The Past Usher nodded. "Be careful on the way.""Of course."Mireya walked away, passing Garth who still had his head down. She clicked her tongue with a sneer, then let out a soft chuckle.Mireya's car left the palace at exactly eleven o'clock at night. It was already quite late, and to be honest, she was very tired. Her body felt completely exhausted, and if it hadn't been for the incident in the palace dining room, she wouldn't have gone home so late.Mireya had to make sure that everything was still under control. So, she had spent the whole day following the former Usher. She accompanied him t
"So, you'll be gone from my room tomorrow morning when I wake up, Usher?"The touch of Usher's hand on The Past Vione's upper arm stopped instantly. His thumb, which had been stroking, suddenly fell silent. Moreover, his body froze with a cold sensation he couldn't ignore.The Past Vione let out a sigh as she shifted slightly in Usher's embrace. She could feel the tension in Usher's body. So, she closed her eyes. It seemed she didn't need any more answers."I'm sorry, Vione."This time, the past Vione really shifted. She decided to change her position and turn away from Usher, something she had never done before.Usher's tension escalated. He was as stiff as a wooden statue. "Vione.""Have you no consideration for my feelings? Do you not pity me when you see me constantly confused by all your actions?" The voice of the Past Vione trembled. Her defenses were at the breaking point. "Is it so difficult for you to be honest with me and tell me what's really going on? Honestly, Usher. I am
