#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
#Chapter51Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonAgain. All I saw was his back disappearing into the woods. Who was he? Why do I never get to see his face? I hugged Noah as he ran up to me but my eyes very much on the treeline where he disappeared into. Just then I heard a howl. A very painful one. I felt as if it was cursing me. My heart clenched painfully as my eyes started to sting. When I looked up, I saw Matt facing the same direction that he disappeared into. His face had hidden all the emotions but his jaws were clenched. When he finally noticed me looking at him, he gave me a small smile.“Don’t worry about it.”And with that he dismissed any questions that wanted to jump out of my mouth. I nodded my head at him as I once again looked into the woods.A tug on my arm pulled me back and I looked down at Noah’s sad blue eyes. “Why is he so sad?”I furrow my brows at his question, but he turns to look up at Matt. “She’s here now but why does he still seem so sad?”Matt looked do
#Chapter52Third personAlex was confused to see the tiny human by the door. He was here to discuss about the human they had discovered on their land and all those other dead bodies of rogues that seemed to be increasing in numbers recently. But actually, seeing the human in person, made the blood in his body hot as his heart started to beat rapidly. Who was she? He wanted to find out even more now.He observed her fragile little body as her dark blue eyes finally met his. The centre of his forehead scorched hot for a second before the pain itself disappeared. As if his body was responding to a blood call from her. Like she was the one to command him. To control his body. He squinted his eyes as he knew that only one was able to do that and she was no longer there.Alex somehow felt like he knew her but then he doesn’t remember ever having an encounter with this human. Or any human before. He was so occupied that he didn’t even notice that Matt was now next to her. “This is the
#Chapter53Third personAlex had decided to stay the night and leave the next day, sometime in the afternoon. But throughout his stay, he was unable to meet the human girl or even have a glimpse of her.His blood seemed to be reaching out to her for whatever reasons that he was not aware of. The next morning, he hoped to see her during breakfast. But it seemed like, she thought it better to skip breakfast than to sit with all these unfamiliar faces.So, Alex made it his mission to talk to her once, before he left in a few hours. Or even just see her. He didn’t know why but he wanted to make sure she was okay. So, he randomly walks around the whole mansion of a pack house, he once used to call home.He looked through every possible place he could think of but nothing. He sighed as he thought of where she could be now as he stood in the middle of the field, looking around. He was almost about to give up when his feet moved on its own accord, like it had a mind of its own too. He w
#Chapter54Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonIt had been two days since Alex left. But somehow, I missed his presence. Why was a man that I barely knew made me feel this way? Why do I seek for protection in him? Now that I sit on the hallow of the tree in the middle of the woods, I think about the imaginary man in my dreams. And there’s also this mystery man that I’m supposed to meet. Noah keeps on pestering about it more often nowadays. Something about him not being himself anymore.It makes me feel sad, hearing Noah say that he was hurting inside. For some reason, I wanted to be there to comfort him. But I don’t even know who he was. It had been more or less a week now, and I still had no idea who he was. I wonder how I never got to see him.My eyes focus on the clearing of the woods, wondering if I had ever been here. This place reminds me so much of what I might have lost. Did I ever come here? I don’t know. That seems to be the only answer to all my questions.Then I looked fur
#Chapter55Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonI did not want to leave this room today. But I wanted to see his face again. I debated with my heart until it made me give up and I got ready for the day. My appetite seems to have cease to exist as I didn’t feel hunger or the need to eat. My eyes searched for that tall muscular figure with the piercing blue eyes. Every time I saw a blond hair, I would crane my neck to see their face. None of them was him though. He had this softest looking sandy blond hair. I wanted to feel it against my hands. I wanted to touch his smooth yet slightly chiselled face. I want to know what it feels like. Although I feel like I know it. I want to remind myself of those feelings. Just once. Let me find you. Let me feel you.Oh dear goddess, if you are up there, please hear my plea, let me see him once again. I close my eyes and clasped my hands together in front of my chest. Please.I slowly opened my eyes as the door on my left creaks open. Then there he s
#Chapter56Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonJust then, he walks in his glory, void of any emotions on his beautiful face. Even in plain black jeans and a t-shirt, he looked out of this world. Tall. Mysterious. Handsome. He was perfect, whichever way I looked at him.Even though I hated attention, I craved his. I wanted his blue eyes to look at me for once. To notice the little, me. The insignificant me. In this crowd of werewolves, I wanted him to notice the human, me.He walks to the middle of all the people with such power as the crowds goes quiet. Then he starts to speak, his voice loud and clear. “This celebration is for your Gamma Tray’s and his mate Natalie.” He goes over to the table and picks up a cup and raises it in the air.“Congratulations.” The crowd follows his movement and echoes of ‘congratulation’ fills the land. They once again continue to talk and laugh. Even if it was just a glimpse, I think he smiled. It made a smile of my own appear on my face as I shamelessly
