Chapter Fifty-Four: Endless Chase

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-17 23:46:08

Dominic's POV

I mindlinked Brian to keep Lila’s company for as long as he could.

It appeared she was overthinking and given her state of mental health, I wouldn’t want her to feel more burdened.

I couldn't stay with her because of work and our investigation—also our situation wouldn’t let us be together.

I let out a sigh of uncertainty—who knew what was waiting ahead?

“Have you sent anyone ahead to scout the area and see how much advantage we have? I do not want us to draw the local police.” I said to Jonathan, pointing to the map he handed to me before I stepped into the car.

“Yes, I had Moore—our best tracker to see. He went there to blend in with the people living in the town, and since it’s an old town down the country, security is a bit loose there.” He explained carefully.

It wasn’t like we were going to commit a crime, but that was how we had been living. We wouldn’t want to expose ourselves to the rest of the world.

This reminds me of the story of the werewolf that got

    Dominic's POV “What do you mean by you have dementia? You are a witch.” Jonathan retaliated. He looked rather annoyed than surprised. The fact Lila had been subjected to a few mental disorders made me find it plausible that she could have dementia. Jonathan was probably too blinded with rage to reason that far.“I guess that’s what happens when you keep looking into other’s memories for a long time.” She said, taking a deep breath after her words. “Maybe I shouldn’t have overdone it,” she continued, “now, I can’t tell my memories apart from others' memories. So subconsciously, I lock some of my memories away and claim to live the life I’ve never lived before. Do you know how excruciatingly painful that can be?” She asked tears welled up in her eyes. “How come you seem fine now?” Jonathan asked, looking at her skeptically.“Because you mentioned my husband.” She sniffed her nose, “He was the only reason I had to stay sane for a while and he was the reason why I started digging

    Dominic's POV “How did you know your husband died?” I asked Morinda right after she mentioned her husband’s death. If she knew her husband was dead, why was she still going around asking about him? The more I thought of it, the more strange it sounded. “Werewolves are not the only ones with their souls connected to their lovers.” She leaned forward. “My husband was a wizard and we both got connected after making a blood covenant between ourselves. I could feel his pain and I could feel his joy.” She said, staring into space like she was trying not to picture what she was about to say. “And the night he died, I felt what he went through—it was antagonizing.” She finished, but not without letting out a deep breath. “You mean his death wasn’t natural but murder?” I asked her, my eyebrows furrowed in curiosity as I wondered how she must have felt. Would it be the same for Lila and I? When I die instead of her, would she feel the pain of the death I would be going through?“Yes. He

    Lila's POV “I’m so sorry to hear that, Brian,” I said. My smile faltered already, and I couldn’t help but wonder how he managed to keep smiling despite having experienced such a tragic ordeal. If it were the former me, I’d have kept looking at him with probably teary eyes, telling him he has his friends and all that bullshit people use to console others. He waved his hands before me. “It’s fine, Lila. I’m okay now.” He smiled, returning his candy to his mouth. “You are the first person though.” He said, confusing me. “You didn’t look at me with pity.” He quickly added after noticing the questioning look on my face. “Because I understand. I just lost my mom, remember?” I smiled at him, and he gave me a big smile in return. “To those who have never lost someone dear to them, it’s just sympathy. But to us, it’s beyond sympathy, it’s like a void has been created in us and no amount of sorry or condolences can fill it up.” I said solemnly, trying not to sound pathetic and sad at the

    Dominic's POV I kept thinking if I made the right decision on my way back to the pack with Morinda in the car with me. I couldn’t care less about her revenge. But the more I pondered on it, the more I saw how it was a win-win situation. She might not need Lila’s power because I signed a contract with her that I would help her with her revenge. Whoever killed her husband did deserve to be punished. “I’ve heard of Blackwood, but I didn’t know it would be this far,” Morinda commented on our journey. It was the first word she had said since we left her apartment. It was hard to convince her caregiver that we would be taking her with us. She thought we wanted to take advantage of her vulnerability. I wondered how she had lived with Morinda for six months without knowing her real identity. “What if she has a breakdown again and her dementia gets in the way of our plan?” Jonathan asked me through the mindlink. I lowered my head a bit, using my thumb to rub my temple. How come I didn’

    Dominic's POV I felt a mix of unease and curiosity about Morinda’s actions toward Sophie. After all, she had just outmaneuvered her. That eerie laughter of hers sent a chill down my spine. I knew she wasn’t a good person, but because someone like her would be near Lila made me uncomfortable. Maybe Jonathan was right after all—I was making a big mistake. “I can imagine the terrific look on her face when she sees that I had tricked her.” She continued with a sly smile. Jonathan and I already lost interest in her story. Jonathan was probably casting me a look of I told you so, while I was thinking of possible scenarios of her encounter with Lila.As we pulled into the driveway, several wolves acknowledged my presence with respect. I looked around to see if something had changed during my departure, even though I was only gone for about half a day.I took the lead while Morinda and Jonathan followed behind. “I know you might be tired from the journey, but I want you to meet Lila be

    Lila's POV I knew Morinda read my memory the moment she mentioned Lola, but she didn’t know I read hers too, and I wouldn’t just sit back and watch her use Brian’s weakness just to shut him up. “That’s not cool, Morinda,” I said, turning to face her so she could see the rising anger in my face. “And don’t you know what privacy is? If you read my memory and saw what you shouldn’t, is the best thing not to keep quiet about it?” I asked her because I honestly didn’t know where she kept her morals. “What do you mean by you performing, you helped her sever our bonds?” Brian asked, his voice was distinctly lower than before. His whole body had gone livid and his face pale. I hated that he got to know what Lola did in that manner.“The literal meaning is what I meant.” She stated, folding her arms together. Maybe she was just a bitter person because I couldn’t understand why she was enjoying another person's pain. “I can’t believe this,” Brian said, running his hands through his hair i

    Lila's POV “Know when to stop, Morinda,” Judith said, rising to her feet to face Morinda. “You can’t just come here and start running your mouth, saying things that don't matter just to keep us against each other.” She warned, her voice filled with rage. Why was she so angry?“Why don’t you explain what she meant first?” I asked Judith, folding my arms together with my back resting on the door. “You told me my mother was a wicked witch, was that why she was killed?” I asked, using the same adjective they used to describe Aradia.Morinda let out a soft laugh, “Was that what they told you? That your mother was a wicked witch?” She asked, her voice dripping with mockery. I ignored her, but rather fixed my face on Judith, who was now facing downward, staring at her toes. “Let’s talk about this later,” Dominic said, rising to his feet too. There must be something they were hiding from me. “Morinda, I’m afraid it would be difficult for us to work together with your current attitude.

    Morgana's POV The misdirection I created was perfect. After meeting the witch I misdirected him to, he must have been occupied with trying to get her to speak, so he must have totally forgotten about me and the things happening in Shadowfangs. At least that was what I had thought. “I can see your plan worked out perfectly this time. It’s been almost five days and we haven’t heard from Dominic. He must have totally forgotten about you.” Victor said, raising his glass filled with wine for a toast. I gave him a big smile with my luscious lips. Things had been going well between us after his wife’s funeral. Though he was a bit bothered about sending his daughter off to one of Dominc’s schools, thinking he would use her as leverage against him one day. But after noticing that my plan had worked out, he asked her to enroll in Dominic’s school, so that she could go if she wanted to. I wished things would stay calm like that until I got my hands on Lila. She was the only thing I wanted

    Lila's POV He took steady and calculative strides towards the podium while the lady joined the crowd. I knew her, she's a pack member. So I assumed she had escorted him.His eyes were hazel, but they held a stronger expression of coldness compared to Dominic's. I saw how everyone went silent the moment he started walking, even I was shaken up a bit by the way he approached us. “Regardless or whatever, you shouldn't treat your Alpha's Mate with so much disrespect. I was sure I made several lectures regarding this so that the tragic event that befell shadowfangs wouldn’t repeat itself in history ever again. Did most of you sleep during those lectures?” He asked with a voice full of authority. The room boomed with his voice as it resonated throughout the silent hall.For him to have lectured them in the past, he must have been someone of a high reputation with immense wisdom, like a lecturer. But even so, why did he have so much power over controlling the rest of the werewolves? I

    Lila's POV Brian explained what the meeting would be like on our way to the pack house. He told me to be mentally prepared that they are meant to say all kinds of words to me. Honestly, I was a bit scared since I’d have to face a large crowd while they judged me endlessly. “Do you plan to deny it?” Brian asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. I took a deep breath as he kept staring at me to hear my answer.“I don’t know, Brian,” I said tears welled up in my eyes again.” After hearing what actually happened to my mother, I couldn’t help but think that she was judged wrongly.” I continued,” “Yes, she had her fault. Revenge doesn’t end a problem but it rather adds to the existing problem. But on the other hand, I doubt I would have handled the situation any better if I were in her shoes.”I said truthfully. I felt bad for my mother, and denying her further would only make me feel more sorry for her. I was honestly torn between them since I knew accepting her would only make me face

  • Bound by the Moon, Rejected by the Alpha    Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Pack Meeting

    Lila's POV Everyone was now gathered in Dominic’s office after hearing the news about Sophia’s death. Morinda was quite shocked; she said she never wished her dead, even if all Sophia ever wanted was her property. But the fact that she died suddenly could only mean one thing.“Was an autopsy conducted?” Brian asked, facing Jonathan. “Even if an autopsy was conducted it wouldn’t reveal anything as long as witchcraft was involved in her death,” Morinda said, hitting us with reality. “But one thing is certain—-she must have been in a cohort with the witch you are looking for.” She said what I was sure everyone was now aware of. “You mentioned that only the royals could erase other’s memories, right?” Dominic asked in a stoic tone. His expression had turned cold ever since heard the news. The look he had at that moment was a look that said he would murder anyone. He must have been really pissed at the whole situation. Morinda adjusted in her seat so she could face Dominic before sp

  • Bound by the Moon, Rejected by the Alpha    Chapter Sixty-Six: Baseless Rumor

    Victor’s POV The candlelight in my room flickered weakly against the dark stone walls, casting a weird shadow that seemed to be struggling to breathe, twisting and writhing like silent specters in the corner of the room. The air was thick with the smell of herbs, and the faint coppery smell of blood. A sign that a dark ritual had just taken place there. I sat on the office chair in my room with my hand under my chin, and my fingers tapping impatiently on my left cheek. I locked my gaze on Morgana, who was standing before me at that moment.She paced the room in elegant steps that felt captivating and also unnerving at the same time. She moved in a smooth and calculative way like she was deciding on how to feast on her next prey. Her silver hair, which I always mistook to be a wig, spilled over her shoulders, almost reaching her waist. She glanced towards me and a sly smile curved on her bright red lips, her blue eyes glowing with mischief. In her hand remained the bottle of el

    Lila's POV Dominic walked up to me, took my hand in his, and eyed me from head to toe.”Are you hurt?” He asked, his eyes beamed with worry, and for a moment I mistook it for fear—or maybe it was fear. “Lila, are you fine?” He asked again, bringing me out of my train of assumptions. I nodded my head at him as I looked at the hand he was holding that was dripping with blood. I almost forgot that I cut myself.I tried to remove my hand from his but he held onto it. Before I knew it, someone was running towards us with the first aid kit box. Dominic must have given out the command through mindlinking. He let go of my hand to accept the box, then he proceeded to place it on the ground. I looked around to see what people were saying while Dominic’s attention was on the box. As I expected their gazes were fixed on me—demanding an explanation. I owed them one.“It’s going to sting a bit,” Dominic said before grabbing my hand to apply the disinfectant. I winced a bit, making Dominic smi

  • Bound by the Moon, Rejected by the Alpha    Chapter Sixty-Four: The Strange Fire

    Lila's POV When Morinda mentioned that she would be using my blood, everyone went stiff. We all thought she meant something bigger than life itself. Eventually, she explained that a small cut would be made on my palm, so the blood could fizzy out, and then the spell would be recited by me. Everyone eventually calmed their mind and started heading out of the room one after the other.First, it was Brian—I bet he was the most affected by the meeting we held and he couldn’t wait to leave. Probably to go and think or even subject himself to something worse. I wanted to follow him, but the look in his eyes only showed that he wanted to be alone. He was followed by Judith, who somehow avoided making eye contact with me. By that time, I already understood how her duty as Genna had mattered to her more than anything. I figured that out during the time we spent reading books together. To her, I was still a potential threat to everyone, and the powers within should be neutralized. I r

  • Bound by the Moon, Rejected by the Alpha    Chapter Sixty-Three: The Test

    Lila's POV I understood why Dominic and the rest were so against me going through the test to see if I was one of the royal witches but my mind had been made up. I felt bad for my birth mother, and I also felt bad that I might have to be labeled as a bad person all my life, just because I am a witch. “Lila, I know you are feeling overwhelmed at the moment, so your emotions might be all over the place, but I want to be rational and take your time to think about it.” Jonathan tried to reason with me. I stood up from where I was, not looking at anyone in particular. “I believe I have the right to decide on a matter like this based on my choice and what I want.” I protested solemnly. “Lila, it’s not as easy as you think.” Judith raised her protest. “What if you end up endangering everyone?” She asked, and as always, she proved again that what mattered was others, not me. “You should think care….”“Let her do it, if that’s what she wants,” Dominic said in a cold tone, his hands fold
