Nina had always thought that after she and Rogan had gotten together, they would stay together. And even if their relationship did fall apart, it would not be her fault.Well, it seems that reality hits differently.Nina was now the one having the bad idea of breaking up their relationship. A situation she could have never imagined. Her talk with Agnes only left her wishing she had never met Agnes. Nina wished she could remain ignorant about everything. She did not want to know the truth about her identity, even more now that she did. She was panicking but more than that, she was sad. Sad that she did not even trust Rogan to share this information with him. She could not share Agnes’s existence with him either. What if what Agnes had said was true, she had only known Rogan go how long? They were basically still in a honeymoon phase. Telling Rogan anything now would only make matters worse and the fact that she might as well kiss her life goodbye if Rogan found out?No. Nina was NOT w
Nina had always wondered how her life would be if her mother had been there for her. She had lost the feeling of a mother’s touch way too early. She had lost it as early as her memory stretched. The only memory she had of her mom was of a hazy soft smile. She could not remember what her mother had looked like anymore. Or her mother’s voice. Her mother’s scent and probably warm eyes. Although she was only six when her mother had died, the trauma was enough to erase her memories. She could remember crawling out of the rubble of her home and being picked up by one of the fleeing pack members. When other orphan children would cry about the memories of their parents they had, Nina could only cry about her blank memories and the empty feeling she felt inside. It was the sad truth.“Ah.” Was all Nina could say as she stared at the pregnancy test strip in her hand. Her hand shook and the test slipped out and landed on the floor, joining the other four used strips.“Ah.” Another single sound s
Rogan got back from a day of working at the pack only to find that his mate was acting differently. He was not completely sure what part of her seemed to be different at first, but later, Rogan immediately realized that his mate was avoiding him.Yes. Nina was avoiding him. She did it in such a way that he did not know how to call her out for it. It was a subtle avoidance. Nothing too serious but it was there. It started with simple things. When he had got back that day, Nina was already asleep, or no, she was still awake but she was already in bed with her eyes closed. He figured she was trying to sleep so he did not bother you disturb her. He immediately cleaned up and headed to bed. Once in bed, Rogan tried to cuddle with Nina, just like he always did. But Nina rejected his advances.“I feel a little uncomfortable and hot. Can we not cuddle tonight, please?” Nina mumbled out to him as she pulled away from his embrace. He paused for a minute. Rogan always respected Nina’s actions an
Nina had made her decision. She would leave the pack. She would leave Rogan. She would leave the love she had found in a hopeless place and circumstance.“You made the right choice Nina.” Agnes nodded at her. Agnes gave Nina a comforting smile.Nina felt like Agnes could smile at her like that even if she committed murder right in front of her. Agnes would probably smile at her the same way as she stabbed a knife through someone’s chest.“Did I?” Nina wondered out loud. Agnes grabbed her elbows in a reassuring manner.“Of course you did. This is the best decision for you. This is the best choice for you and your children. Even for Aloha Rogan. The best thing you can do now is to leave.” Agnes softly stroked Nina’s shoulders.Nina could only nod in return. She suddenly felt a huge weight appear on her shoulders. She had never felt like that before. It was such a huge decision that would change her very life and Nina had just made it.“We need to come up with a plan. Now that you have d
Nina froze up in fear. ‘I will have to what?’ Nina internally screamed at the notion. She could not understand what Agnes was saying. “I-I w will have to what?!” Nina asked. She was pretty sure that the point of her leaving the pack was for her to make it out ALIVE. “Die.” Agnes simply stated. “Yeah. I got that part. Could you be more… specific?” Nina calmed down a little as she noticed that the look on Agnes’s face was a bit different than she had expected. She seemed so casual so she could not be talking about Nina actually dying. “Oh. Sorry, I forgot to explain it. I don’t mean you will actually be killed or anything like that, no. I am basically saying that you have to fake your death here. Make everyone in the pack believe you died during the rogue attack. They will not be able to find your corpse so we have to create a reasonable plan regarding this.” Agnes finally explained with a sheepish expression on her face. “Oh…it does make sense for me to do that…” Nina agreed. “Y
“Uncle Thorin said he would find a way to deliver the pill to me before the rogue attack. I will give it to you when we are escaping. When we leave, we will be heading west, towards the ocean. We will meet up eventually. Remember our plan.” Agnes picked up the bottle of water beside her and started to drink it. She and been talking for quite a while.Nina was in a bit of a daze as she spoke.“I am sure the rogue attack will commence soon, I overheard some other guests at the inn saying that they are going to go to the safe house soon. Apparently, some warriors reported a sudden change at the borders. I think the rogues are going to attack very soon. Be alert, okay? Once chaos ensues, we sprint.” Agnes reminded.“Okay,” Nina said before she left the room.At the Mountain Pack border.Rogan stood standing on top of a thick tree branch as he looked down at the small clearing near the outer lands of the border. It was filled with densely packed savage creatures.Rogan grimaced at the sigh
The pack members of the Mountain Pack had lived a very peaceful life compared to other packs around them. It was so peaceful and unfiltered that a lot of them had never actually come faced with danger. Unless you were a member of the Warriors of the pack, you could probably live your life peacefully within the pack grounds without problem. Ever since Rogan took the throne and even before that, the Mountain Pack had enough security that even some pack members had never seen a rogue before in their lives. People who have remained protected and served for such a long time tend to overreact and panic when actual danger comes at them. The pack members of the Mountain Pack were exactly like this. Before the arrival of the rogue in the pack, the pack members were not too panicked or rushed while heading towards the safe zone, some were even dilly-dallying. Yes, they recognized the seriousness of the situation. But No, they had never actually faced direct danger before then, not at any of the
Nina was stunned. She could not understand what Agnes was saying. Did she mean that Nina had to drink that slushy substance?“I…have to drink it?” Nina asked carefully.“Oh? Moon Goddess, No! Drink it? It’s a chemical substance, although I don’t know the name, it could kill you if it enters your system.” Agnes said as she increased her pace of walking. She walked deeper into the forest, Nina noticed that the path they were taking had very uneven ground. It was very rocky and it seemed as if they were ascending.They were definitely heading towards the cliff.“Then what is it for exactly?”‘and how did my uncle manage to send all of this in when the pack is on lockdown?’ Nina did not say the second part out loud. She had a feeling that Agnes would not tell her the truth.“It is a chemical that has the same characteristics as blood apparently. But it’s kinda like fake ownerless blood. It does not have any scent or colour. If you pour some of your blood into it, the chemical would immedi
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
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
