#Chapter178LieAries BlackwoodThis feeling. This strong urge.Even, the beast, who had decided to stay extinct, was starting to crawl out from deep within. It was as if something woke him up.But what could possibly hold the power to cause the hibernating beast to awaken? What was it that was getting even me agitated? For no reason, my heart was beating erratically. Like it wanted me to feel again. Almost as if telling me something. Something that I didn’t understand at all.I shake my head and dismiss these feelings that was confusing me to no end. But my heart didn’t let it go nor did the beast as I felt him pace around the back of my mind coming towards the surface with each passing second. No, he wasn’t forcing a shift. And neither was he trying to take control. He was just getting impatient. Like he was hungry? Thirsty even.But for what? My dysfunctional brain was not competent enough to understand these emotions that was boiling inside of me. Or anything at all.
#Chapter179Bloodline royalAlthea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonI wake up panting again. My forehead beading in sweats and my entire body drenched in it. My breathing heavy and the only sound I could hear was the drumming of my heart. As if ready to burst any second now.Releasing a deep sigh, I look around in the darkness, my eyes as sharp as ever. I was in my room, laying on my bed.A warm touch on my shoulder makes me whip my head around in alarm but those familiar green eyes that even lights through the darkness comforts me. Just a little.“You are okay.”My vacant thoughts slowly comes together and my hands immediately flies up to cover my eyes, to hide myself, my breathing once again skyrockets. But she just grabs my wrists and gently pulls my hands down, away from my face. A small smile tugs the corner of her lips upwards as she looks at me. That smile of hers, the only reassurance that I needed. “It’s alright.”It was alright. And just like that my breathing calms, k
#Chapter180Mate?Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonMy heart decided that it was just a one-off thing. For the rest of the week, it remained calm. Just a soft constant beating. Almost inaudible. Too silent.It made me anxious for it never really stayed calm for long.So, I trained. I trained hard. Because I needed to prepare myself. I had to stay strong. I couldn’t just lose control every time my heart ached. No. I cannot be that girl that ran crying to their parents every time things became too hard to handle. I knew I was stronger than that. And I will be just that. Powerful and strong.I sigh as I think about the past week. I haven’t returned to that dreadful place of learning that just seemed to suck the life out of me. Just the thought of it was enough to give me a headache.But after a week of deep thinking, I have now decided that it was time to go back and be a part of that world. The world which held unimaginable possibilities. A diversed beings and not just Lyc
#Chapter181MineCirce McNaughtOnce more, I sit on the far back of the classroom. Most of my attention on the chirping birds that sang melodiously as they sat on the branch of a tall tree beside the small window. A lover’s quarrel maybe.Their playful bickering drew me more than the human that stood by the front of the classroom seeking to hold all the knowledge on history. Their history.I have lived almost half a century. So, I myself have attained quite a lot of knowledge on histories. Stories that they don’t even know about. Of creatures that lives amongst them. With them. Me being one of them.I lived with my family, my pack, before I moved out almost ten years ago. I grew up watching humans shift into wolves. I lived with the werewolves and I was a part wolf myself. But I was never blessed with one. Apparently, my other half was more dominant than my wolf half. But I always considered myself to be a werewolf that just couldn’t shift. I had razor sharp vision, an excell
#Chapter182Just be meAlthea Zoella Castellanos Silvermoon“Alex, have you ever thought about the chances of finding your mate?” We were just standing by our car in the parking lot, waiting for the classes to start. I tap my hands on my arms as they rest folded across my chest. “I have never really given it much thought before.” Alex leans back as he looks up to the blue sky. “If you ask me now, I haven’t got a clue.”I sigh, following his movement, I too look up at the peaceful blue sky. “I wonder what it’s like…”“One day you too will find someone that’s meant for you. You too will know then. One day.” I feel his eyes on me, but I don’t tear my gaze off the blueness that fills that space above. “I doubt that…”I don’t believe that destiny has lost enough sanity to pair me with another life. I am dark. I am ungifted. An outsider amongst my own people. I was an outcast. I possibly cannot have the luxury of having my soul complete. I scoff and shake my head, pushing the d
#Chapter183DestinyAlthea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThe last bell rings announcing the end of the long torturous week. Two more days until it was finally time to hit home. So far nothing has happened. No irregular heartbeat. No drumming in my ears. Nothing. That only led me to believe one thing. That it was time to move on now.There was nothing here.“Want to go out tonight? Same place?” I head for my car and open the door, resting one elbow on the roof while the other on top of the open door as I wait for someone to reply.Egan who has his arms snaked around Circe’s waist looks confused whilst Alex had a worried look on his face. “Are you sure? Cause’ the last time we went there it didn’t go well-”I just stop him, before he starts ruining my mood for celebration. “I have decided to return.”And that seems to do the job. A wide grin makes an appearance on his face as he comes forward to tightly warp me up in his arms, his face bright with excitement. “Should have said so
#Chapter184Ancient Whisper-01Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonI wake up once again to a vast darkness that occupied the room around me. I blink a few times, pushing the sleep off my eyes and adjust them to my surrounding, an unfamiliar one to my eyes. The air around smelled of a fresh breath of mint that my lungs was hungrily filling up with, almost as if it could never have enough. But what shocked me was the current that was zapping me the entire time. It wasn’t one that caused me discomfort but one that sent delicious chills throughout my body and left me wanting for more. Just a lot more.Finally, when I was conscious enough of my surrounding, my head a lot clearer, I feel the heaviness on my belly, a tingling sensation as a warm breath continues to blow against it. I suck in a breath, my heart once again starting to come alive. And in this silence, it was as loud as the roaring of a lion.I slowly push myself up, my elbows on either side of the soft mattress that I wa
#Chapter185Ancient Whisper-02Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonI should have felt happy, my heart a little lighter, but nothing feels right. My heart becomes so silent that for a second it makes me wonder if it had stopped functioning altogether. And just when the doors starts to come together, creating this barrier between us, my heart decides to riot. The pain I felt at this moment was almost unbearable, my heart fought against my body, wanting to rip apart, away from its host and I end up clutching my chest tightly in an attempt to stop my heart from doing as it promised. My breathing coming out short and laboured.Time dragged itself as it caged me within these walls and the pain in my heart only kept getting worse. When the elevator finally dings open on the lobby, I force myself to stand upright and wipe my sweat beaded forehead with the sleeves of the coat that was few sizes too big for me. Wrapping the coat tightly around me, I take slow steady steps out of the build
