#Chapter38The calm wind was now starting to rise again. But this time more subtle. The air around Althea, moved as if playing with her hair. Althea slowly closed her midnight black eyes. Her long black hair that was starting to be more visible as the first ray of the dawn shined upon it, turning silver. She was slowly lifted off the ground as a globe of light surrounded her. Everyone was on the knees now, feeling the presence of their goddess' true self. As the light faded, her now paper white skin glowed softly. With no sign of blood or the torn and tortured flesh, she was now dressed in a long thin and flowy white dress. When she finally opened her eyes, a pair of silver looked through Aries' soul.She gave a soft smile to Aries as she whispered, "I shall free you now.""You will no longer feel the pain of the heartbreak. I hope you forgive me for all my sins so I myself can be free."Aries was just awestruck seeing the goddess before his eyes. He could not utter a word. Althea
#Chapter39Althea - The Female Alpha SeriesBook TwoAlthea - The Goddess ReboundPrologueA month had gone by since Althea returned to heaven to where she truly belonged. But her heart was still on earth where her rejected mate still lived. She longed for him just as much as he did her.Time passed slower in heaven than the land of living, making the pain in her heart still raw and fresh as if it all happened yesterday. But a year had passed on the earth. So much had changed yet everything was still the same. Aries tried to live the life Althea had laid out for him by returning his brother. He was thankful to her. But he lived in regrets for ever rejecting her. He knew that he could never love another like he loved her. Even though Althea had blessed him with love again, his heart desired no one but her. So, he hid his pain behind those smiles and lived his life for Noah. For his pack. For the peaceful world that Althea had left behind.The goddess silently watched
#Chapter40The goddess looked at her daughter firmly as she let out a deep breath. “You know that you have blessed him with a second chance at love. And being a goddess, you must grant him this blessing.”Regret filled her heart as she remembered her last words for him. “May love find you once more.”Tears poured out of her eyes as her own words screamed back at her like a curse, she placed upon herself. Althea knew that as a goddess she had to grant it to him. Another love. Another woman. It hurt her heart as she lowered her gaze to her hands that was tightly clenched together on her lap. All this confession, for what? She couldn’t have him anyways, Althea though. What had she done?“But I shall play a game with the destiny this time.” The goddess spoke breaking Althea from her own misery of self-pity, and she turned her head up to look at her mother’s face with confusion. “I will make you his mate again.”The wind gently blew Althea’s silver hair across her face as she tri
#Chapter41The entire land was heavily filled with tall dark tress that hid the surface of the earth from the light itself. The dim foggy mist covered the surface and the only part visible was leafy top half of the trees as it came up to meet the sky.The dark woods stretched across the earth far away from the human civilisation but very close to the where the wolves resided. Where he resided. And there, laid Althea, a human, in the midst of the foggy land, very bare but perfectly hidden. Her now blond hair sprawled across the ground as she laid on the side of her very tiny body, knees tucked into her chest, like a foetus. Her naked pale skin flashed to the darkness only.Void of any memories of who she was or what she is, she laid on her unconscious human body as the goddess kept a watch from above. And she hoped that this time, when they have her, they will keep her safe. That he will keep her safe with him. But she could only wish for it to be true.She watched her daughter as s
#Chapter42Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonAll I could feel was darkness. It surrounded me, encased me in it. I wanted to open my eyes to escape this darkness that seemed to frighten my heart, although my heart didn’t complain. Then I felt this presence around me. I found a light in this darkness. I reached my hand forward, towards it. I wanted to feel it, see what’s behind that light. I wanted to be surround by that warm light. I felt cold as I ran towards the light. Now my heart thumped. It pumped harder. My heart longed to see it. My soul was calling someone’s name, but I can’t hear it. It was begging for me to open my eyes now.I longed for someone, but who. Who was it? My heart pumped faster and faster as I willed my eyelids to open. I fought hard with the darkness when I finally saw the white sky above me. Then I turned my head to the side just in time to see the huge retreating figure of a man.But unfortunately, all I could see was his back. I don’t know why but I want to s
#Chapter43Aries BlackwoodRage took over my mind as I ran deeper into the woods. No. This cannot happen. It was not possible. I cannot have another mate. I don’t want anyone. No one but her. Only her.It had already been a year since she had left me, and I had somehow managed to learn to live with only her memories. But now, I cannot even do that. Not when there’s another being that reminds me of her absence even more. Every time I breathe.Why was she doing this to me? Was it her way of punishing me for pushing her away from me? Was she so cruel to do that? I know she was watching me from somewhere up there. Probably laughing at my pathetic self, right now. Of what I have now become. My paws bounced off the ground as I ran faster. Harder. Guilt was taking over the pain in my heart. She reminded me of it by mating me with someone else. I don’t know who was playing this sick game. Her or destiny again. My paws landed on the ground as I skidded to a halt. I faced up to the now
#Chapter44Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonI found myself gaining conscious once again. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to find myself in a dimly lit room. I looked around as I realised, I was in the same place as before, but it had gotten dark now. How long had I slept? I shuffled on the bed as I tried to push myself to sit up. “You are finally awake huh?” The manly voice made me slightly jump on the bed as my heart thumped rapidly in my chest and my hand came to fist on top of it.“W-who are you?” I manage to stutter, scared. No. Terrified. I did not know this man. For all I know, he could kill me, and I wouldn’t even be able to do anything to defend myself. “I’m sorry if I scared you. I’m Matt.” He walked over to the bed, closer to me. I scooted further on the bed until I had nowhere to move. “S-stop. D-don’t come any c-closer.” I warned him. But I doubt he would listen to my weak threat. If you could even say it was one.He held his arms in the air as he stood beside
#Chapter45Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonI wake up as the light pokes through my closed eyelids. I turn my head to the other side and blink a few times before I’m finally able to see clearly again. I lift myself up and I’m once again surrounded by the three large figures that look down at me, expectantly.I start to back up on the bed until I hear Matt’s voice. “It’s okay. They were just anxious to see you wake up, that’s all.” I slowly tear my eyes off the other two and look at Matt’s face which had a smile on it. I nod at him and look back at the two. I tried to swallow my fear, but my throat was very dry.“Water?” The one with the black hair asked as he held out a glass of water in front of me. I nodded slowly as I looked at his blue eyes. But he just smiles at me and hands me the glass of water. I looked at the water thirstily before I chucked it down in one breath. I breath out loud once I’m done and I filled my lungs with air again.“Easy. Slow down.” The man with the grey h
#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
