#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
#Chapter46Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonMy heart started to beat faster upon hearing her name. Thump. Thump. Thump.“The daughter of a goddess. A goddess herself.”Why does she seem so familiar? Did I used to know her? I want to know more. “Tell me more.” I command again. I know I was being rude, but I craved information. My empty brain needed much more than this. My heart needed more to calm down. I needed more.“There’s nothing more to it.” Matt says, his jaws clenched tightly as he was holding back some unknow emotions. They all were. The other two looked down. “All you need to know is that she’s no more. That’s it.” He dismissed my curiosity with that. Even though, I craved more, I couldn’t defy this authority that he was projecting right now. I wasn’t strong to fight back for the information that I needed. But I will. One day.“Are you hungry?” Matt asks void of previous emotions on his face. My stomach grumbled at that and he gave me a small smile. His grey eyes went fog
#Chapter47Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonHis name repeated over and over in my head. Yet another name without a face. But even if I saw him, would I know? Would I have a part of my memory back? I guess I’ll know if I meet one of them.“You seem a little too curious about him.” Matt eyes me.“I don’t know but his name sounds somehow familiar. Although I cannot remember anything.” I look down and place both my hands on the either side of my temple and start massaging it. My head was starting to hurt again.“Okay, you need to relax.” I look up at him. “You’ll meet him soon anyways. No need for all these overthinking.” He gives me a small smile as I nod my head. He was right there was no need to think about that. Time will soon reveal everything. I hope.After having the filling lunch, Matt left me with Natalie as he had work to do. I felt guilty for keeping him with me for this long. Natalie gave me a tour of the place. It will take some for me to remember where everything was.
#Chapter48Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonIt was late at night as I stood naked in front of the mirror in the attached bathroom, staring at the reflection that looked back at me. Who was she?Deep down, I felt as if I didn’t know the reflection that looked at me. She had this petite bony figure. Almost every single bone in her body was visible even more so as the only light that was on, was far behind her and these shadows emphasised it even more. She had a flat chest with the ribcage outlining her pale skin. She was just bones and skin.I looked up to her small oval face. The lightest shade of blonde sat on her head and flowed down a little past her shoulder. I looked at her thin lips and the tiny nose before I finally looked into her eyes. Her dark blue eyes, almost black in this dimly lit bathroom.Who was she? I know that this was my own reflection, but my soul told me otherwise. Who was I then?This reflection that looked back at me through this mirror lied to me. It was hidi
#Chapter49Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonMy heart thumped hard at that. Why did it sound like he was calling me? I turned my head around to face the door as others were already looking that way. I saw a cute little boy by the door. His blue eyes widened as his face lit up upon seeing me. Did he know me? Who was he?Silence filled the room for a while until the little boy decided to speak again with confirmation this time. “Althea.” He smiled as he ran towards the table where we sat, but he seemed to be running towards. Me? He came beside me and hugged me tightly, caging both my arms in his equally tiny body. “Althea.” He whispered this time, tightening his hold on me.This name again. The name that I have been hearing so much now. It hovered around me. It followed me like a shadow. He frees me from his bone crushing hug. He was strong regardless of his tiny body. Or maybe I was too weak. “Althea.” His twinkling baby blue eyes stare into mine as he repeats the same name again, b
#Chapter50Aries BlackwoodI have been keeping an eye on her since she left the infirmary. She was such a fragile being. She was easily scared and intimidated by others. Something inside me wanted to go out there and protect her. But the other part of me denied her.The more I watched over her, the more she reminded me of her. Like the way she is close to Noah. The way she smiles, it reminds me of how she used to smile. They had the exact same smile. The slouch on her shoulder as she passes the bed of roses almost as if she knew its story and felt its pain. And to top that, she walked towards the tree where Althea used to sit most of the time, just watching over the training ground. It was like a hobby of her.Everything that she does now was reminding me of her. Like this small human had a part of her soul. I crave to touch that soft skin of hers. I want to know what it feels like. Would her skin feel like the softest silk, like hers used to feel? Would I feel the soft tingles a
#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
