Nina froze. Her brain seemed to stall for a moment.“Wha- what?” Nina asked in shock.“Don’t you dare lie to me!” Nina harshly gripped her head and forced her to look up at her. Nina was glaring into her eyes at this point.“I…am not lying. It is the truth. My Alpha’s name is Thorin. Alpha Thorin.” Rayne groaned at the pain. Nina’s nails were digging into her head.“No….how? How is that even possible?!” Nina reeled back in shock. She took a step back. She would know if Rayne was lying. Rayne wasn’t. Which was even more terrifying to her. The person she had revealed as her husband’s killer was someone unexpected. Nina had not even thought of the possibility before.Rogan, Luke and Doctor Tim had been watching the whole ordeal for a while now, so it was only natural that they noticed what was happening. They were also a little bit shocked, as the name was a name that was familiar to them. They had heard it in enough bad situations to know that it was an important name to their enemy. So
Nina gasped.“What?” This was all too much.“Yes. Lyra, the same one you know.” Rayne sighed. Looking back at it herself, her Alpha had done a lot of things and worked hard just to capture Nina. So many conspiracies and betrayals. How brutal.“But…. But how is that possible? Why would she be a spy? This-“ Nina looked back to see that she seemed to be the only one affected by this news. Luke and Doctor Tim both had a scowl on their faces. It wasn’t a shocked look like hers. She looked at Rogan beside her and saw that he was only frowning. No shock or surprise. It was like a fact known to everybody.“You… you guys already knew?!” Nina asked in shock. It seems there was more to this situation than she had thought.Doctor Tim sighed and looked at her.“Did you not notice that Lyra was not here? She always stuck to either you or the Alpha. But suddenly she is gone. And Luke has even taken her spot as a special advisor.”Nina paused at his words. She had noticed that Lyra wasn’t there. She
Nina walked out of the dungeon with a small limp. Regardless of her injuries, Nina still had a proud aura around her. It amazed Rogan who walked closely behind her. He smiled softly at her but next he frowned. She was hurt yet she didn’t agree for anyone to help her.“Nina, you’re going to make your limp worse, just let me carry you back.” Rogan stopped her from going any closer. He wanted to hold her hand but he remembered her previous reaction in the hospital room so he kept his hand away. His hands were now awkwardly hovering over her.Nina paused and looked up at Rogan. He had gotten bigger and more masculine. He had a soft look on his face as he looked down at her. His hands were hovering over her, unsure of if he could touch her or not. Nina felt her cold heart warm up a bit. Previously when she was with him, he was not this sensitive when he was with her, it was evidence of how much he had changed over the yearsShe gave him a small smile and said: “I’m fine. It’s just a small
The room was silent for a minute.Rogan had also figured out that Luke might have already told Nina about his state after she had ‘died’. He didn’t know what to say or do. So he just stared at her. He remembered when he had been in here the first time after her death. It was torture. On one hand, he wanted to destroy the room, on another, he could not bear to. This was the space where Nina’s scent still lingered. After he had almost died due to hunger, he wanted to kill himself, and he had almost succeeded. He was back in the room that he and Nina had shared and was close to ending his own life. But something stopped him. It was like some force of a kind. Rogan still didn’t know what it was. For a moment at that time, he thought it was Nina’s spirit. He felt a sort of cleansing and his intense emotions stabilized. It was like a voice was screaming in his head and telling him to work harder and live. He couldn’t go against the urge. After that, he focused on the pack but devoted his li
Alpha Uthar had been living quite a happy life lately. Although his pack wasn’t flourishing as it used to, it was still acceptable. He was also over the moon when he learned that the Mountain Pack had very serious cases of rogue attacks. He hoped that Alpha Rogan and his pack would perish under the assaults. He hated Alpha Rogan to the bones, especially after he had almost been killed but the other.At the time, Alpha Uthar had just learned that his niece was dead. He was shocked but he was not sad. Why would he be? A girl that he had only considered a tool for negotiation? A girl that he had used for benefits? He couldn’t even remember Nina’s name on multiple occasions. There were times that he would ask her what her name was when she was still at the Forest Pack. He didn’t ask because he was curious, no. He asked because he needed to ask for benefits from the Mountain Pack whenever he sent them emails. He would add Nina’s name to the letters he sent Rogan. He believed that as long a
Nina shuddered when the memories flooded in. She tried to calm herself and reminded herself that it was all not real. She would soon be free from this situation soon enough. But when she saw her uncle, she almost cried. He wasn’t supposed to be here. But he was, which already answered a lot of their questions. Her uncle really did have something to do with her parent’s death.Nina did not want to delude herself into thinking that her uncle probably didn’t do it, she knew the truth well enough to know that he probably did. She had just wanted the truth to be a bit different, that she hadn’t been manipulated and controlled by this man. But there in was, in the memory of the lands, standing in the midst it chaos with a wide grin. Nina accepted it and watched as the scene played.She watched as her uncle, no, Thorin walked towards her previous home with a skip in his steps. It was at night and a red moon was up in the sky, it was as if it was a bad omen for the disaster that was about to
It was Gabrielle. The girl she had met at the hospital previously.Nina frowned at the girl’s arrival. Nina was currently not in the mood for whatever she was going to say, especially when she was with someone whom Nina was not sure if she had seen before. The woman looked familiar.“You,” Gabrielle said with venom. She sounded like a typical school bulky out for her target, she definitely picked the wrong person to mess with, but she didn’t know that yet.“Yay. Me.” Nina dryly responded. She wanted to leave.“Listen up, I don’t know what you did to make Alpha Rogan treat you like this and even let you into his home, but let me warn you now, Alpha Rogan is mine,” Gabrielle stated with confidence, these were words she didn’t dare to say in front of said person but she was quite confident elsewhere.“Uh huh.” Nina blankly stared at Gabrielle. This scene reminded her of the five-year-old who once had a crush on Alex. The child’s mother was a regular and she had somehow fallen for Alex th
After Nina’s little spat with Nayla and Gabrielle, she walts into the dungeon to ask Rayne some questions. After a round of questioning, Nina finally gets the facts down. She is ready to go back to share this information with Rogan and the rest.She knows that Rogan is still at the hospital so she goes to meet him there. This time on her way, she does not encounter any strange or disturbing individuals. It is a sign that her warnings had worked, she didn’t even see the previous pair that had bugged her.At the hospital, Nina paid extra attention to the people a the hospital, it seemed that more and more people had been getting discharged. Werewolves healed fast so this wasn’t surprising. Nina watched to see if she would see any familiar faces but she didn’t. Although it could mean that some of the people she could remember were not hurt and admitted to the hospital, or it could ultimately mean they were dead. Rogan had told her about the graveyard behind the pack, she would go there t
Nights in the Void Area were basically moonless. The sky would be pitch black without stars or the constellations. It was as if the work area had been abandoned by all the celestial bodies. The Moon Goddess did not monitor the happening in the Void Area. It was just an area for chaotic activities to take place without supervision.“There is no God in the Void Area.”A passing sage had once said this before. He claimed that the void area was an area completely filled with demonic beast. All more vicious than the other. But in such a lawless territory, there would definitely be the leader of all these beasts. The strongest of them. The apex predator.“It is called The Colondra. It is a strange monster that rests in the middle of the Void Area. It is always in a deep state of sleep. It might be that it was sealed by a powerful being in the past or that it is just leisurely resting. But one thing is sure, every night of the Blood Moon. It wakes. If it is not disturbed, it will not bother
“You…What are you talking about?” Agnes cautiously asked him.“Oh, are you talking about that thing you sensed when we got here?” Rex casually asked. This made Agnes even more confused. They had noticed something when they got here? Did that strange pressure also affect them? But what is this about a beast?“Yeah,” Jax replied.“You said it was really big. How big is it?” Axel asked him.Jax hummed for a minute. “Bigger than this dungeon but I’d say it’s as big as the upper structure of the entire building. It feels dangerous as well. Very. It keeps releasing a lot of pressure. It obviously seemed dissatisfied with the existence of people above it. I don’t know what kind of beast it is but it’s not a good idea to be so close to it. It’s right underneath us…”“Wait a minute! Do you mean to say that there is some kind of beast under us? Then why hasn’t it moved?” Agnes asked in a panic. If what Jax had said was true, then they could be killed at any moment. The beast was strong enough t
Agnes was quiet. Her eyes widened in shock. She looked up at the prison cell window. The door of the cell was completely covered except for the small barred window. She uncontrollably stared at the window, as if she would just naturally be able to see the person who had been talking to her. Agnes was not expecting anyone to respond to her. Or rather, she had not been expecting anyone to be there to listen to her. The guards were gone and she had never heard or imagined that another prisoner would be brought here, especially due to the location of the prison. It was a different place than where she had been locked up before she met with Nina. Previously, she had been in a dungeon with there being many more prisoners. But this time, for some reason, Thorin had decided to keep her locked up in the dungeons that were located in the Void Area. It was a three-cell small dungeon that was located under a small cabin in the middle of the Void Area. It was a basement space of the small cabin t
Nina was speechless at the end of the whole vision.“Unbelievable. Honestly.” She said to herself. It really was unbelievable. The reason for the Werewolf and Lycan feud was because of her past life and her retarded uncle? Such generational hatred was sourced from such a thing. Nina knew if she ever told anyone this, they would not believe her. So many theories of what might have caused our feuds had popped up over the years. The truth was far more simple than one would think.Nina understood that it was hard for someone to deal with grief so she was not undermining the feelings of the two boys, but still, she wondered how dogmatic the villagers were to just follow along with the separation.Nina could only sigh at the end. It seemed that this was the reality of it. Nina thought about it and she realized that Thorin’s death seemed a little strange. He has died with so much malice. Nina had seen a few other people die accordingly and she would always see their souls see to beautifully
“Nina, calm down.” Rogan had been listening closely. The truth about the situation was more ridiculous than he had expected. So many people had died because a power hungry man believed his greedy sorceress so much. And in the end, it would all be for nothing?Rogan could feel Nina’s mood change. First, he needed to help her manage her emotions for now.“I understand but-“ Nina tried to calm down but she really couldn’t. She felt scared and angry. Scared for her children’s life and angry because of the truth. Because her uncle was dumb enough to believe a fake prophecy, her children were in danger. She would not forgive any of them.“Yeah, I get it, but you need to calm down. We need to ask him a few more things. We need to get a solid plan. I’m guessing that we can’t just burst into the hideout and reveal the truth to Thorin now can we?” Rogan asked Coby. Rogan crouched down beside Nina’s figure. He didn’t touch her. He wanted to hug her but he needed to keep his distance.Coby bit hi
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at the teenager’s appearance. The teenager, Coby, paled when he saw her as well.“Do you know him?” Rogan asked.“Yes, he…is one of my son’s friends from the Lycan realm.” Nina stared at Coby with shock and confusion. What was Coby doing here? And how did he get here? Wait…was he somehow involved in this? Nina’s thoughts were going wild as pondered about this.“Where did you find him?” Rogan asked as he glanced at the boy in his subordinate’s grip.“He was hiding in the bushes nearby.” The man responded.“Let him go and close the door,” Rogan ordered his man to let go of Coby. The boy could not run even if he wanted to. They were currently in the living room of the house. They had to stay there for a while and plan things.The man nodded respectfully and left. Just like Rogan had thought, the boy did not consider moving. He just nervously stood in a spot. Rogan stared at the boy with a strong aura radiating off him. His gaze scared the boy and he was prett
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at what was happening. She could not properly grasp the situation.“Is..she…dead?” Nina asked with a trembling voice. The machines in the room were making some strange noises. Nina could hear the machine tracking Lyra’s vital make a monotone noise. It wasn’t beeping anymore, it signified that Lyra was indeed gone. It shocked Nina. Wasn’t Lyra supposed to last for longer than that? And what did her last words mean? It felt like there was still a lot she didn’t know or understand. How had Lyra met Thorin? Why did she team up with him? What was her reason? Did Lyra just die without even making things clear?!“It seemed she used her last burst of strength to speak. She must have given up after she got the message through.” Doctor Tim said as he came forward. He had a frown on his face. He had immediately sent someone to inform the Alpha.“Huh? What message? What message did she get through? Do you mean her scattered words are a well delivered message? How does
When Nina finally saw Lyra’s figure in the ICU, she almost couldn’t stomach it. Her body wasn’t even complete. She had lost her two legs from the knees down. One of her arms was gone and she looked emaciated. She was connected to so many wires. Her face had a claw scar on it, Nina realized that it was the scar that Rogan had left. All in all, she did look like someone who had just a few hours left. It was sad. Nina honestly wondered why she would do this to herself.“Is she conscious right now?” Nina asked Doctor Tim. He nodded.“Just go ahead and talk to her, we’ll be here listening closely.” Doctor Tim said as he monitored her vitals.“Okay.” Nina walked closer to Lyra. She felt a bit uncomfortable at the sight. When she got close enough to Lyra, she noticed that Lyra was awake. Her eyes were barely open as she seemed to stare into space.“Lyra?” Nina called out to her. Lyra flinched before she looked at her. When Nina made eye contact with Lyra, her eyes widened slightly. She seems
