#Chapter57Aries BlackwoodI gripped my hair tighter. What had I done? I had said the cruellest words to her. I didn’t mean it. I don’t hate you.“I hate the fact that you exist.” No, I don’t. “I hate the fact that you were made for me. I don’t want you.” I want you even if it’s a sin. “I never will. Till my dying breath.” Lies.All the words that I spoke were lies. I was afraid that I was starting to fall for this human. This weak little human had somehow managed to take a place in my heart over the week that I had watched her.The more I watched her, the more she reminded me of Althea. But her looks broke me out of her lies. I guess not my heart. My heart had started to betray me. It had given a space to someone else that was not Althea. But I cannot let this frail human be heartbroken just as I was.I could never accept her even though every part of my soul screamed at me to just take her. But I already belonged to another and there was no room for anyone else.I’ll rathe
#Chapter58Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonPain. Immense pain.That’s what I woke up to. My whole body screamed in pain. With great difficulty, I opened my eyes to look at the wooden roof.I blinked my eyes several times to remember what had happened. How I ended up here. I leaned on my elbow and slowly raised myself up. I looked around me. I was lying on a thin bedding on the floor, in the far corner of this tiny, almost empty room.The room only had a few books lying on the other corner and a bag next to it. I notice the old looking logs that was built like a wall around, leaving a small gap in the middle of one wall, forming a window. Where was I? Where was this?“So, you’re finally up huh?” The voice makes me jump back away, and I ended up slamming my head on the wooden wall. Everything went black for a second and my head started to spin until finally I felt the pain. “Oww.”“You shouldn’t hurt your body anymore.” She walks towards me. Since I have no more place to run, I just
#Chapter59Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonHer eyes flicker between mine as she says. “Because I’m a witch.”A witch?But she looks so normal. So, like me. And she seems so nice. Why would anyone want to harm her?She turns to leave but I hold on to her hands. “But- but why would anyone harm you?”She sighs and shakes her head. “Because they are a cruel being. They only think about their own.” She almost growls it out. “I don’t need to do anything, me being a witch is enough for them to want to capture me.”“Althea, they will force me into doing things for them. And nothing good will ever come out of it. I have managed to escape him once and I don’t intend to be his prisoner, a second time.” She tugs her hand free.“But they are not like whoever you think they might be. They are goo-”“Stop it, Althea. Don’t say that. You are a human, so you won’t understand but I have been there myself. I know how dark he is. How evil he is. They are all the same Althea.” She shakes her head
#Chapter60Third PersonWhen Evelyn was only a distance away, she looked back. The wooden cottage where she had left her. All alone. With no one to defend her if something or someone else comes over.She sighed as she started to turn back, but her steps stooped as soon as she felt his disgusting presence. She quickly put a shield around her so, she was safe from him. At least for now. She saw his dark figure come through the trees and head toward the cottage. No. No. No. Her mind kept repeating itself.But she couldn’t make her feet to move as she watched him slam the door down. She waited and waited as she prayed the goddess to keep her safe. Minutes passed since. Unable to bear it anymore, Evelyn decided against her fears and entered the small cottage that she had been watching over. The closer she reached to the room that she left Althea in, the more of his dark powers she could feel. This monster. The monster that she escaped from, was here. She knew that he wanted her. Her
#Chapter61Third PersonAlex and Matt stood on the doorway as they looked at the scene in front of them. Alex slowly moved towards them as Matt stood frozen on his place unable to tear his eyes off them. Alex stopped at the foot of Althea’s body as she laid there almost lifeless, her body wrapped in bandages, her dress covered with red patches of wet and dry blood. It hurt his heart to see her like that. Even though he had promised himself that he would do anything in his power to protect this tiny human, he had failed to do so.He finally teared his eyes from her body and looked at the Alpha, disregarding the little witch who sat beside him. The Alpha sat on his knees as he looked at Althea’s face with so much pain. His hands clenched into tight fist, sat on his lap as if he was holding back from touching the human, stopping himself from doing what his heart desired.Alex squinted his eyes as he observed the Alpha. His jaws were clenched, veins in his arms were popping out and h
#Chapter62Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonWhere was I?This darkness that surrounds me, hides me from whatever that I fear. Here, I don’t feel a thing. I was safe. I was alone. Nobody. No one will ever reach me here.So, I sit on the darkness with my knees tucked and my arms around my chest. I don’t know if I opened my eyes or if they were already open, but a bright light hits my face, lifting off this darkness that was comforting me.And in the middle of the light, there she stands wearing a long black dress. Her midnight black hair flows free on her back and her coal black eyes shows the sadness in her heart. Then on the other side, there appears another light but this time the light itself was of a figure. Another woman wearing a long white flowy dress. She was like a globe of light in the darkness that she stood.Her silver hair cascades down her back and silver eyes equally filled with the same sadness. They looked the same but completely different. One contrast of another.
#Chapter63Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonA week had gone by, when they finally allowed me to leave this place. And finally, I didn’t look like a dead person. My limps were still wrapped in bandages. They didn’t hurt too much but the one on my neck was the worst one. It was a miracle that I could whisper some words out. It was scruffy but it was something. And these werewolves had no problems understanding it.When Natalie first saw me in here again, she was bawling her eyes out. She told me off for ever disappearing. But I knew she was only worried. Like the rest. Noah came to visit a few times. He would always try to cheer me up and would stay for an hour or so, before he finally left. But there was this one person that decided to not leave my side. She sat by the sofa on the corner as she looked deep in her thoughts most of the time. I don’t know what was wrong with her. She helped me with everything, and I was thankful for that. As much as Natalie argued that she helped too
#Chapter64Aries BlackwoodI watch her as she lays back on the open field. The rain pours down heavily, soaking her body. Her laughter echoes throughout and a knot forms on my heart. It makes my own lips slightly curl up into a smile as I see her smile and hear her laughter. It was a sweet melody to my ear.I wanted to run towards her. I wanted to be the one she held on to. I wanted to bury my face in her neck and smell her sweet scent. I wanted it to be me. I watch her as she makes her way towards the house. Her tiny body now completely soaked. She made me worry about her. It hadn’t been long since she left the hospital. I didn’t want her to infect her wounds or catch a cold.Natalie, please make sure that her bandages are changed, and she doesn’t catch a cold. I link Natalie to look after her, even though I wanted to go there myself. I clenched my hands tightly as I turn back to sit on the chair. I need to find him. He cannot get away with this. Not after hurting what’s mine.
#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
