#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
#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
