#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.
#Chapter65Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonEvelyn redresses my bandages as I didn’t want to return to the cage that I had just been freed from. She left me for a while before she returned with Matt hot on her trail. I have been noticing it for a while now, whenever Matt is around, Evelyn grows rigid. She looks anywhere and everywhere but him. However, his eyes are always on her, openly gawking at her.And she refused to leave my side once she found out that I was conscious again. I know that she’s hiding something. But I guess I’ll have to wait.That night I had dinner with everyone. He didn’t join us though. He never does. I haven’t seen him since that night. I lay on my bed with Evenly who’s soundly deep in sleep now. But I cannot fall asleep. All I think about his eyes. Those blue eyes filled with so much pain. Those eyes that looked at me with so much want. But he always holds back.Was I imagining this? Did he feel things for me like my own heart did for him? All these question
#Chapter66Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonEvelyn whispers from behind me. I turn around to face her. I thought she was talking about the women behind me, but her eyes were looking at me with so much questions in them.I look back only to find them gone. I, then around to face her but the scene had already changed once again, making my head spin. I closed my eyes shut. When I finally opened my eyes, we were back in my room. I don’t know how long we spent in my dream, but the room was brighter now with the sunlight peeking through the window. I finally looked at Evelyn who sat in front of me with her legs folded and arms crossed over her chest.“Who are you?” She questions me again, her eyes seeking answers as she tries to read my blue eyes.“I-I” But there’s nothing that I can say. Who am I? I myself don’t know the answer to that question. I don’t know my identity.“I swear, Althea. I don’t know much, but I know a goddess when I see one.” She raises an eyebrow at me.“W-what do
#Chapter67Althea Garcia Hela Silvermoon“Althea. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” His hold on my face tightens as his face scrunches in pain. So much pain.But I don’t mind his rough hands, even though I was starting to feel pain rise on my neck as my face was being lifted up to meet his. I didn’t complain. “I miss you. Please come back.” He whispers, broken, a lone tear flowing down his eye. I feel a sharp needle in my heart.“I’m back, Aries…” My whisper equally gentle as I remove one of my hand from his wrist to wipe his tear and place them on his cheek, feeling the soft tingles run through my palm.I don’t know why I said that, but I felt like I had to. This time I heard everything my heart was saying, and it was telling me to never let go of this man in front of me. This werewolf. He shocked me by slamming his lips on mine. My eyes go wider as I look onto his closed eyelids. He kisses my lips hungrily, sending sparks all over my body. Unable to contain all this euphoria, I clos
#Chapter68Third personAries turned around with determination that he was going to hold on to the human. To the Althea before him. He was starting to believe that she had returned to him. He had started to fall for her. He was beginning to feel alive once more. He needed her like he needed air. She was his addiction. One that he couldn’t live without. Not anymore.But the moment he turned around, the scene in front of him made his blood boil with anger. Fury. He let out a furious growl as he leaned his body forward. The blue in his eyes, now completely dark and his canines very visible. His fingernails elongated, ready to strike. To kill.“Give her back.” Aries voice seethed with anger.The same man, no, the same monster now held onto Althea’s neck once more. This time he stood behind her. Dark smoke coming off him, like a cloak it surrounded his body. His sharp claws extended pointing to her bandaged neck that was already seeping with blood. While she stood frozen, her face
#Chapter69Third person“You think you can easily hold me down like this.” His guttural voice speaks again as dark matter comes off his body, pushing against the barrier. Evelyn struggles to hold him down as her own hands come in front of her, pushing the barrier down. Alex pins his body with his paws, his canines still on his neck, trying to hold him down. But the dark energy gets too much for them as he flings himself up and Aries lands on his paws a few feet away. He bares his fangs at him as dark blood flows down his mouth, mixed with his own red blood. He snarls at him. A few other also shifts and surrounds him.“You are mistaken if you think you are enough.” Gerald snarls but a loud growl stops him.Aries walks out the rose garden with red blood trailing his steps, but his wounds were already healing. He held Althea’s tiny body high up in his arms, tightly, securely. Althea blinked her eyes weakly to get a glimpse of his face. Even though it was masked with so much hatr
#Chapter70Third PersonUnable to hold the damage to his weak body, Gerald too laid still on the ground, blinking his now grey eyes as he looks up to the sky. But nobody knew what was in his devilish mind or if he was in any position to do more harm. So, the warriors stood guard.Aries’ wolf slowly takes the two steps to be beside Althea’s weak body. He whines as he takes a look at Althea’s body covered in blood, both hers and Alex’. Fresh blood kept seeping through her wounds that didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. He licks the blood from her cheek where Gerald’s claw had cut her. Althea’s eyes flutter close as she feels his warm tongue brush across her cheek. Her face tingles softly at that and a small smile forms on her face.Slowly, Aries shifts back into his human. He was stark naked, his wounds already healing, only leaving patches of blood around. He didn’t care about his nudity as he sat on his knees and bent down to pick Althea’s tiny body in his arms. He placed he
#Chapter71Third personLight traces of fingers and a slight tingle bought her back down to the earth once again. She opened her eyes to look into a worried dark eye of Aries. How she wanted to touch his face, wipe those tears off his face. But she couldn’t move this body of hers.She only had so much life left in her. So, she tried to do the only thing that she was now capable of. She stretched her lips as a smile formed on it. She was happy to be in his arms like this. Even if she wished the situation was different. She was in his arms regardless. She closed her eyes once again, but Aries nudged her slightly, making her aware of him. He wasn’t ready to lose her. No, he wasn’t going to let it happen another time. His dark eyes finally freed of his anger turned to his own blue. He caressed her cheeks softly. He was sure of the words that he spoke. His heart. His soul knew it. “I love you.”He whispered as he bent down to put his lips on hers. He loved her like he had loved Al
