#Chapter14Aries thought that Althea would be scared of him now that she has seen this side of him. He thought that she would not want him and run away from him. But it was opposite of what he thought. There sat Althea with anger in her beautiful face. When Aries came to his right mind, he was confused for a while. What was she talking about? Ace wanted to know as well. Aries didn’t even realise that he was griping her hips. He slowly loosened his grip.“Who is them, love?” he asked, searching her eyes. “What are you searching for?”“Answers” Althea said calmly “from my parent's murderer.”Aries thought he was the only one suffering but his mate was suffering as much as him or even more. He had known his parent’s killer and killed them the second he found out. But Althea was going all over, searching for them.He slowly pulled his hands away from her sides and gently cupped her face. This helped Althea take her mind off this topic. He looked into her eyes with so much sadness. H
#Chapter15Another week had gone, they were getting closer than before. Aries would not leave a chance to touch her or kiss her and Althea didn’t mind. She liked being close to him. Aries would kiss her to sleep and kiss her again when she woke up tangled in his arms. As promised, he did not do anything more.Althea woke up too early this morning and though she would go and check on Alex. She swiftly got off the bed, not wanting to wake Aries and quickly changed into her black sporty legging and sports bra. She put her jacket over her shoulder and made her way outside before writing a note to him and leaving it at the bedside.Alex was making a great progress. If it wasn’t her, they would never find him. she headed towards Alex and soon found him under the huge tree, meditating as she had told him to. “What did I tell you about keeping yourself open to anyone?” she said throwing her jacket on the ground, heading towards him and landing a punch on him. He quickly got on his feet an
#Chapter16Alex bowed his head to her. He felt a connection with her, he felt her power, her dominance, her acceptance. For once, he felt like he belonged. He felt like he was born just to serve her. As her name Silvermoon indicated, a goddess herself. There was a tale he used to hear from the elders in the pack when he was a kid. The moon goddess incarnated as a werewolf hundreds of years ago to fight a war between the werewolf themselves. Their hatred towards each other had grown so much that they started slaughtering the weak ones and the children for revenge.After the war where the moon goddess incarnation killed both the leaders of the pack, she united everyone again. Legend says that she disappeared after that but still walks the land even after hundreds of years. Some even says that she lived in search of her true mate for her lifetime on the land. But never once did he hear of the goddess's daughter. It was a blessing itself to become a warrior of the goddess herself.H
#Chapter17Althea walked through the crowd that was forming in the kitchen and the dining room. It was around eight and people were finishing breakfast or cleaning up. They bowed her as she made her way across the kitchen to the living room with Alex tailing behind her.She was still in her workout clothes, her jacket in her hand but still looked godly. A different aura was radiating from Alex. They could feel that he was stronger now. He was walking behind her as if ready to kill whoever defied Althea, like a goddess’s warrior.After departing with Alex, Althea went to the bedroom looking for Aries but didn’t find him there. She then went to his office, still no sign of him. When she looked through the living room, Althea noticed Matt on the couch with some other guys. They sat there looking sad and didn’t even notice when Althea stood in front of them.“Matt, where can I find Aries right now?” Althea asked, not caring about the guys eyes on her.“He had to go to a meeting in the
#Chapter18It was already getting darker and her feelings were getting more out of hand. Althea knew that Aries had already arrived with the other packs. But he still hadn’t come to find her or send anyone to get her. She just sat on the same stone by the lake that she had been before with Aries. She just leaned back and stared at the sky while Alex stood leaning against the tree behind her like a shadow, always close but never acknowledging his presence to her.Althea didn’t want to come across any packs right now for it will be difficult to reveal her real identity later on. She had already misled enough people into believing what she was not. She didn’t need anymore.She sighed and got off the rock and started making her way towards the pack house. She was going to tell him now. She didn’t want to betray his trust anymore.When she was in the forest clearing, she could smell them. “When you see me, do not address me as an Alpha no matter what” she quickly mind-linked them.“Yes
#Chapter19The pin drop silence was broken by the painful howling at the distant. Immediately Aries took off with Matt and Tray following him, leaving Althea with her pack. The howling of the werewolves grew closer by the minute and the bone breaking sounds of the wolves transforming could be heard on the front ground.But Althea held her ground. This was the second time Aries had pushed her away from him. And she knew she wasn’t sticking around for the third. She had told him that the day he says he doesn't want her, is the day that she will leave him. And he had done it, he said he didn’t want to see her again.She had given him a chance to show that he cared about them. But he let others influence his decision. He chose them over her. Althea knew she would have chosen Aries when the time came. She was ready to tell him who she really was and was even ready to hand over her title to Ash so, she could be with him.But not anymore. She didn’t want to be a pawn in his life. She was
#Chapter20Althea tried her best to control her anger. But her aura sipped some of her anger out. She punched the window so hard that it shattered like a million pieces of diamonds.The little boy that she met on her first day here. She knew he resembled someone and now she knew, he was an exact copy of Aries. He made her feel better every time she was with him. She had wanted to protect his innocent smiles. And now whoever took that innocent life was going to pay.She swiftly jumped out of the window and landed on the ground with Alex following right behind. She looked around and saw a child behind a woman who looked like his mother, protecting him. His mother was not a fighter but she stood like a shield in front of her child, like Althea’s mother had done. That child will not lose his mother today. Not like she had hers.The rouge raised his clawed hand upwards and soon after Althea slammed her hand on his chest and the other on his neck, forcing him to back off from the women a
#Chapter21The rouge was lean but muscular. He was a good fighter on their side. He was fighting one on one with Tray who was the third in command but also Blue blood’s one of the best fighters as well. They were equal in power and it was only a matter of time who found whose weakness first.“Alex, stay here and look after the rest of the pack. Do not let anyone through. Do not let anyone touch a single hair on them.” She commanded to which Alex just nodded his head.As Alex was guiding the women with her child in her arms, she turned around to look at Althea.“Thank you, Luna” she said giving a small smile.Althea didn’t bother correcting her. They were never going to see her after the war anyways. So, she just nodded to the women as she turned around started to make her way inside the pack house. Althea looked at the rouge that was fighting Tray. They were still in their human form. They both were not able to land a punch on each other. But then a dirty brown wolf came from Tr
#Chapter237Forged (4) (Special)Aries BlackwoodLike a magnet pulled by its other half, I walk towards her. “This is where she offered herself to save your soul. You didn’t even know her, yet she was so keen on being with you. I had asked her why she was so willing to love someone that doesn’t even know her existence?” Then she looks at me with a sad smile on her face. “You know what her answer was?”I shake my head, my eyes still on hers as I try to control these emotions wanting to pour out of me once again. “She told me she could hear your soul. That she could understand your heart. Said she would womb your sin and find a place where you both can be together in this loop of infinity.She was willing to sacrifice herself just to hear you laugh. I warned her. But my daughter is too stubborn for her own good.” She too shakes her head and chuckles softly. “I told her that just because she wants to be with you, doesn’t mean that you too would want the same. And you know what sh
#Chapter236Forged (3) (Special)Aries BlackwoodI open my eyes to the darkness.Pitch black darkness was all I could see. And I doubt if my eyes were even open at this point.But then I see something glimmer distance away and so I reach towards my only source of light which guided me to a land, painted in red, soaked in blood. Piles and piles of dead bodies covered the entirety of the land and there he stood, a boy with a sword pierced right through his heart.He holds his ground until no heart beats the land. Then he too falls on his knees. Swinging his sword up and onto the ground, he holds his wounded body upright as if proving the land that he was invincible even in death.And as something in that blood-soaked golden hair spurs my curiosity, I inch closer towards him, studying the lines of his equally bloodied face but his piercing blue eyes stops me from going any closer. For I see a replica of my own eyes. For I see myself in him. Baffled at the image of my younger se
#Chapter235Forged (2)Althea SilvermoonA group of rogues that wished to live in a pack again.With no place to return, no place to call home, they had chosen to remain on this barren land until their bare bone was the only proof that they once lived. And as my father’s words chanted itself over my head for the uncountable time, I had healed the hurt and guided them home as promised. Maybe that’s the reason they could bear to be with me. For they only saw me as their saviour and nothing more.I sigh softly as I feel the warmth of the flames. The only proof that I lived was the light rise and fall of my chest. Although alert, the only melody I was interested in listening to was the soft crackling of the wood as it sacrificed itself and burned into ashes.Thump.All of a sudden, I hear my heart thump loudly.Once. Just once.But it was enough to break me out of my empty thoughts. Lifting my chin higher, I place my palm over my heart to feel that lost sense once more. Sadly,
#Chapter234Forged (1)Althea SilvermoonMy feet digs deeper into the scorching golden sand as I make my way further into the land of dunes. The sun sits hot on the crown of my head, and my forehead beading with sweats, trickles down, dampening the white cloth covering my eyes as I advance further into the land with no direction. With no aim.I don’t know how long or how far I had travelled. I have passed through lands, crossed the ocean. I have even travelled across the universe with Alex always by my side. The essence of my life now engraved on the entirety of the vast universe.Had it been a century? A millennium? Or had it only just been years?I look up to the sky, feeling the sun hard against my face and I exhale tiredly.I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore.The only thing that I knew was that I was once again back on this deserted land, occupied only with silence and the occasional howling of the wind. But my soulless body preferred its silent words anyways
#Chapter233Free (Special)Third personShe sits frozen still while the rest of the world moves on. Chaos finally gone along with both darkness and happiness. The land sits silent, too quiet to be called alive. And when everyone thinks that she will never come out of her grief, she stands herself tall, although tiredness evoking of her, she moves even though forced.With face as empty as her heart, she carries herself forward, towards the edge of land and Alex comes forth from her shadows. Taking her in the strong hold of his arms, he descends, wings spread wide, down to the land where flowers bloomed beautifully all around. And when he lands, Althea moves out of his hold, her eyes solely to the front as she gracefully glides through the narrow path. Ignoring all eyes on her, she continues to move forward to where her mother sleeps within that vast tree, her pale skin now as white as the snow covering the mountains. She stands before her mother and the man, she once loved as
#Chapter232The goddess of life (2)Third personShe whispers the name of mate as pain becomes too much for her to bear and in a silver flash, appears a man, wrapping his arm around her defeated shoulders, holding her tall. And with a swing of his arm, he dismisses the darkness floating the land, as if it was nothing but a heavy mist.He stands dressed in white and like the goddess, he too holds the brilliance of heaven, the halo in his silver hair, and supremacy on his silver eyes. But those silver orbs remain on the girl, searching for the light, the innocence she once radiated with.He had failed to protect his little girl, one whom he loved before heaven.“My sweet, little Althea.” But Althea looks back with hard eyes, blaming him for her loss as she pulls Aries tighter in her arms, in fear that he too was against her being with Aries. “What has this world done to you, my little Althea?”She keeps her glare on him even though, Randolph, her father, held the softest gaze of
#Chapter231The goddess of life (1)Third personShe lowers her head a little. And finally, the Lycans and wolves could see the light in her eyes that now shines through the world, as those silvers torches the darkness around.But on the other hand, her coal back eyes become one with the so-called darkness. Hatred, it holds all. Slowly making the silver dull which only holds the pain, the sadness. It grieves its loss and gradually the light in them too starts to fade along.“I will destroy this land that does not hold your breath. I refuse to reside in a universe that does not accept your heart. And I will never ascend to heaven that does not house your soul.” Gruesome words roar throughout the land as the war halts, as if time froze still petrified of the rise of the dark goddess. One by one, the creatures starts to dissipate as the darkness touches its core. Until there was none that lived apart from the man called Vyncent. Staggering on his feet, he moves forward, wounds
#Chapter230The dark goddess (2)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThe wind blows hard as a loud roar echoes the field. A divine beast soars through the blue sky with his silver wings, beating on his back. The girl chuckles softy as she looks upon the beast and stretches her arm forward. And he lands inches away from her and strides with power, his marvellous wings spread high, until his furry head touches the small palm of the girl. “Would you like to join me on this journey, Alex?”He grunts softly while nudging his furry face against the palm of her hand, making a sweet giggle erupt out of the girl. The goddess walks towards them with a small smile on her face now as she looks at them both. Then her eyes shift on the silver of his wings and she steps forward. Gently stroking the soft feathers, she seems to be deep in thoughts. “I better prepare for the worst then. Who knows when you might need some kind of harmony in your life? I’m sorry to burden you with such weight,
#Chapter229The dark goddess (1)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThen I hear the loudest roar of all, every other feeling in the air dull compared to it. I sit numb as I look up at the sky, but my vision far from it. My pitiful lips torn apart, pulled away from one another. It was me. My grief. Echoing to the heavens.Then I’m pulled into a land, heavily filled with green, blooming beautifully with tulips that stretched beyond, meeting the peaceful blue horizon. Then I see a girl dressed in white, her perfectly sliver hair blending into the pureness that she exuded. She sits on her knees as she hovers over the pond. Hesitantly, I move forward, pulled by the curiosity that held the girl’s keen eyes tightly to the pond. I stand just behind her and look over her shoulder at the clear colourless water. But instead of both our reflections, I see a man. One that looks very much like Aries with his golden hair now shorter, trimmed and his face void of the light stubbles. He loo
