#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
#Chapter186Damned princessAlthea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonSleep didn’t bless me yet again. I lay awake, on this soft mattress, witnessing the sky turn from clear blue to deep orange red. And eventually dark black. Moon wasn't so kind to bless me with its presence tonight, leaving me by myself as the vast emptiness once again engulfs me. The prickling of my heart, the only thing that made me realise that I was awake. Alive.Rest of the feeling became numb to me long ago as my heart refused to let go of whatever it was holding dear. The pain a constant reminder, pushing me to the brink to remember. To never forget. But how could I remember something that I don't even remember ever having. Apart from that golden locks and the electric touches, I remember nothing more. This emptiness in my heart was growing as the days passed by. Even rapidly so, ever since I arrived here. I need to return. There was nothing in this place. There was nothing in the world outside the oce
#Chapter187Promise-01Aries BlackwoodJust where could she be?My blood was boiling at this point as I walk back and forth. My surrounding an utter mess of broken glass and pool of blood and alcohol. I had been on a hunt since the moment I caught a whiff of that sweet aroma. I had been looking everywhere for her like a crazy manic. But I still couldn’t get a whiff of that presence from that night.The fuzzy image of her that I got from the cctv footage was the only thing keeping me sane at the moment, keeping this rampaging wolf at bay. But he was not a wolf anymore, he was something more powerful, deadlier and he had finally decided that he wanted more than a part of me, he wanted complete control. He seeked the one whom he had lost in time and in return lost himself. All these decades without her had wrecked this monster and made him hibernate deep down, but her presence had called him forth, to push past the fragile glass cell that he was imprisoned into. Any more force and
