Annie's POVIt was me who was brought to my old chamber but when I woke up, I saw the tired and sleeping King Iram on the bedside. crouched there like wanting to watch me the whole night.I didn't know how I ended up coming back to Prima Tierra, but all I know is that when I saw him, I just couldn't turn away. It was the hardest, especially to see him cry like that.I didn't want to assume things, especially the reason behind his tears. I didn't want to assume that it was me. I know certainly that he is still into his past lover. It was too painful to even think of but when he saw me, it felt like he was referring to me. It felt like I owned those adjectives he said. It was so good to hear that I was willing to betray my promise of not coming back to him.I reached my hand to his face. I reluctantly stroke soft and subtle touches on his forehead and cheek."Why are you so stubborn? You should be more concerned about your life. Why do you always oppose what is destined to happen?" I as
Ava's POV "Do you have to tell her that, Ava?" River asked me, a bit worried.It was after Amarantha left the dungeon that River had the chance to speak. She was rather silent the whole time when I felt Amarantha's energy. When I looked at her, I already knew that it was her.But her face is different. She used a body of a werewolf when her soul is made to be a human.The reason I can shift into a white wolf is that my soul is made to be a wolf ever since. But to Amarantha, it is different. We were born as Chimera twins making Amarantha the powerless soul amongst us.But when she came to me, face to face, there was something odd about her. I can feel a wolf inside of her. I asked River about it. Was it possible that the wolf of the former owner of the vessel stayed inside that body?River shook her head. "It is impossible, Ava. The moment the soul is dead so is the wolf. We are born together. If one dies, then the other will face the same fate. In Amarantha's case, I think that wolf
Ava's POV"So, she's alive, huh?" Shintara arched her eyebrow at my news, then smirked. "How annoying...""Yeah, I know how you feel. You wanted us dead, so it's only natural that you think of this way."She scoffed and dropped her arms beside her torso. "Do I really look like I hate the two of you so much?"I shrugged. "You have all the reason. You're his former mate.""Oh, well, thanks a lot for reminding me!" She rolled her eyes and sighed. "You must be thrilled that I brought him here..." she muttered."Do I look like I'm happy?" I rolled my eyes and sighed. "I already know that he's here. Even before I came to this place. It was hard for me to finally come back after what they did to me and Amarantha.""How did you know?""I can see the future. Some future..." I revealed. It was the truth. Even before I met Ora in Scottland, I had several flashes of images. It was all about Amarantha and Omnibus.Inside that sudden trance, I saw something alarming. But it showed me Amarantha's ne
Omnibus' POV"Mark you? Are you nuts?!"Shintara sighed and rolled her eyes. She was reluctant to say something. She massaged her temples and faced me once again. "It is necessary. Whether you like it or not, you need to do this. If not..." She breathed in exasperation. "It'll be too late for Amarantha to survive," she revealed."Where is she?""I told you already! She already escaped the pack. But she's in pain. She knows what happened to us. It's draining her strength even more. Are you willing to sacrifice her strength instead of helping her?""Damn it, Shintara! This is not the right time to do this. We need to find her.""I am dead serious, Omnibus!" she snapped. "Do you think I wanted this to happen? I am gravely jealous right now because of her sacrifice and I swear I would want to be selfish but I can't. I can't let her be in pain when I know it is because of me!" Her tears started to pour out of her eyes. She sobbed silently in front of me.I could feel her pain somehow. But
Amarantha's POV"Y-you're a what?" I asked astounded by how I heard her last sentence. I even blinked my eyes.The woman who appeared to be Amarantha says that I am Amarantha."Alright. This is a bit weird." I laughed nervously.The woman just shrugged and crossed her arms on her chest. She was nonchalant in everything she said to me. "Why? Why does it have to be weird when it's the truth?""You're scaring the bloody hell out of me. I'm done with this conversation." I was about to leave the dungeon but she called me again and literally held me frozen in my position."Iram can't get enough of you, right?" she suddenly said.I clutched my hands.I couldn't deny that, too. It was weird enough for me. But I am not his mate.I just smiled wryly but didn't face her. "Who bloody cares? I'm not even his mate...""Stop sulking about it!" She snapped.I gasped and roughly turned to her. "D-did you just yell at me?""Yes, I did. Do you have a problem with that?""Wow! Look at this brazen wolf! I
Amarantha's POV "No..." I quickly ran toward her.I let her head rest on my lap while she was spitting blood."Don't die on me! Please!" I cried. I didn't care if everyone saw me crying.They may be too bewildered to see me coming back from the dead. But I don't care. Ava needs me. I need to heal her before it's too late..."Ava, don't die on me! You can't do this to me. We're a team, right? You promised me!""I... I'm sorry, Amarantha... for leaving you behind. It has to be... this way..." she whispered."No! There has to be another way. Not like this. You can still come back in this body. Please, Ava, don't leave me!""I don't have energy left of me. I told you... it has to be this way. We need to eliminate this b-body..." she replied. "You are meant to be in that body which we are born with. Cherish it. Do whatever's necessary. Keep your promise to him. It is your final duty as a chimera..."After a brief silence, Ava's breaths stopped. Her eyes kept open and stopped moving. Her m
Iram's POV"Your Majesty! There has been a commotion outside. The guards in the dungeon are in chaos. A prisoner has escaped!" an Iota reported to me while I was in my library.I never wanted to go out of this room. After sulking at how I begged Annie to stay, I stayed cowardly for a couple of hours after sleeping. When I woke up, she was nowhere to be found."Who's the prisoner?""W-well... the one who is claiming to be the former Luna's sister."I suddenly got up and immediately left the room without saying anything.That was when I saw everything.I saw how one of the guards clawed her back. I saw another Amarantha running toward her.My heart beats so fast. I froze in my position. I blinked in disbelief. "H-how is this possible?"I saw how she mourned the death of her sister. But what startled me was the next scene.The dead Amarantha changed its face. It became someone else. Someone I know."A-Annie?" Tears started to fall from my eyes. I shook my head meekly. "No. This isn't tru
Iram's POV That same feeling again.I narrowed my eyes.How did this thing happen? How can a great connection try to go away and then come back?With this confusion I am feeling, I started to flinch. Goosebumps started to crawl on my skin.Did she come back?"Your Majesty!" one of the Iotas called out. It made me come back to my senses. "Your Majesty, what shall we do? She's in great pain."I didn't reply. Instead, I entered the cell and move her body onto my lap.She was convulsing like in a trance. Her eyes grew white and pale. Her eyelids are bloodshot. Beads of sweat dripped from her temples and neck. I felt her tremendous shaking. It was painful to see her like this. I eventually cried in front of her.She was caught in a trance. I doubt that she could feel me around her, and so did the guards."A-Amarantha? Is this really you?" I asked though I was not expecting a reply from her. "Please say anything..."I poured out my tears. They landed on her cheeks as she continuously convu
