Chapter 21: Reconciliation I inhaled his scent; I could not deny that I love his smell. I could feel his arms around me, and the calm swaying was comforting. I opened my eyes and met his red eyes. Those intense bloody-red eyes deceived me. ‘I miss you,’ even in dreams I could not get away from him. I looked around and it was the garden in his backyard, he continued swinging slowly. ‘You should not have returned to them.’ ‘Who are you to tell me, Zild?’‘I am your mate.’‘Lies, too many lies.’ I whispered. To myself maybe. I let him hold me close, at least in his dreams he could hold me like this. But who am I fooling? The rhythm of my heart, the calmness of my body, and the peace in my soul were enough to prove the existence of our bond. To be in his arms was my safest haven. I leaned on his chest and placed my hand on it. ‘How does it feel, Zild? How does it feel that you can not make me do what you want?’ I pushed him and stood up. He amusingly smiled and looked strai
Chapter 22: Selfish TruthIt felts like a cold bucket was splashed onto my head. “What are you saying? That’s impossible!” Kylo said and pushed me behind him. “You better leave now, Laia, or I’ll drag you out of my territory.” “We can kill her now, and here,” I suggested. I wanted to rip her and wipe her fake innocent face. S“Kylo, what is happening here, I thought we were already clear. She’s not Lavelle, your Luna was long gone! She can’t even remember you, she doesn’t recogniz-““RAARGHHH!” Kylo growled to stop her. She was surprised to see him defending me. She looked at me and back at him. “I am warning you-“ “Utter a curse and you will not leave my territory alive,” his voice sounded different than his warm and welcoming voice. I saw her flinch and her eyes turned reddish. “She will still cause pain without any curse, Kylo. The Hybrid Reaper revived her, she belongs to him eternally. I will never have her again-“ “LEAVE!” A tear fell from her eyes which she ins
Chapter 23: Pack Duties I heard him walk back to check on me, so I shifted and ran to him. I saw his face lit up and wagged his tail. He let me run first and followed me. My blood has been linked to Zild and I could not do against what he wants. My body was reacting to him, how could I cut it?When we got there, his father and mother were waiting for us. He locked stares with his father and faced me after a minute. “We have something important to take care of, pack problem outside. I’d be out for a day.” He said and I nodded. “Let’s go,” Luna Loraine offered her hand to me. “I will teach you your pack duties.” She said and I nodded. We split paths and I was alone with his mother. “How are you feeling?” She asked. I truly did not know what to feel. Kylo was trying his best to make me comfortable. “I hope you fit well despite…you know.” I pulled a tight smile and looked at her. I turned my gaze back to our path while we were walking side by side. Maybe I could share my thou
Chapter 24: Hurtful ArgumentI couldn’t believe what I heard. Did she just say pretend? “If you have to pretend then do it, Lavelle this is the only thing you could at least do. I will not pretend anymore that everything is okay! I know what he’s doing. He’s sacrificing the whole pack for you, and he’s willing to lose this for you!” I know, she already told me that. “What do you want me to do? Act like I’m innocent?” “Why? Do you suggest anything else to do? What do you think is the best thing to do? Claim that you did kill our pack members? Lavelle, you have caused enough trouble! Please do right this time for the pack,” exclaimed she.She was blaming me for everything that happened. She was right anyway; I am to blame for this trouble. “You want me to hide it all in my closet, as you usually do.” That pulled her to composure, she gave me the look that I must know my place and I should fix my tongue. I never expected that I would see this side of her. “You’ve grown a back
Chapter 25: Endless Trouble I think this would never work. ‘He will do everything for you.’ Her voice tickled my conscience. Maybe I wasn’t putting enough effort to make this work. Maybe I wasn’t willing enough to fight for this pack. My hope returned when I heard a knock. I went to open it and disappoint myself when I saw it was not him. “Good evening, Luna. Alpha Kylo ordered me to clean your terrace, and he also wanted to say he will be staying with the guestroom tonight, he isn’t feeling good.” I nodded and I let her in. I stayed in our bed while she was cleaning the terrace. After she finished it, I let her leave immediately. I closed my eyes and I saw his hurt face, he was looking straight at me. ‘Are you happy hurt us?’ I opened my eyes and sat up. I guess I should watch the sky until sunrise as I usually do.I never felt this lonely the whole night, everyone was sleeping and I was here alone and awake. I should get used to this. The memories of me having my whole
Chapter 26: Alone with HimWe were running fast side by side; he never left my side. We’d just rest for a while and run again. Until night came and it was dangerous to travel. He created fire and prepared the food that we hunt along the way. “How far do we still have to travel?” I asked. “We still have a few kilometers to go. Are you tired?” He asked and handed me a raw food. But blood would be good for me. I must change my diet to this. “No, I was thinking about you, the pack needs you.” “Dad can manage,” answered he. Alpha Kaled has gotten age. He could not stay like this for long. Being out for unimportant matters. “I hope he could help; we can’t stay like this forever, how can I give you a child with this.” He held my hand and softly massage it. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she has an idea about this,” “She?” “She’s a half-witch and a half-werewolf. She’s an ancient healer white werewolf,” I looked at him in surprise. “Do you mean the legend of Alpha Female who create
Chapter 27: Meeting the LunaShe must notice my confusion as I accepted her hand. “Luna Lavelle.” “Alpha Kylo,” Kylo introduced himself too. “I gave my position to my mate, and I’m his Luna now. It must be very important, let’s talk about it in my office.” She said and I couldn’t find what to say. I could just look at her face, she looked so beautiful with her blue hair. I looked at Kylo and he just nodded. We followed her and even opened the door for us. “You traveled miles away, what brings you here?” She asked and signaled us to take a seat. We gladly accepted and I held Kylo’s hand. “We heard about your story,” I said and I couldn’t find the right term to tell her formally. It seemed like any wrong move, we’d be dead in here. She may smile and be hospitable, I could feel the atmosphere around her.“Probably just my heroic deeds,” she said and looked me straight in the eyes. “Speak your concern,” she demanded at once.“I am cursed…or I was cursed.” I said and Kylo squi
Chapter 28: Too Much HungerShe was confused about why I wanted a hug. “I looked up to you as a woman for being that strong and powerful. I wish I can be a Luna like you.” I said and she smiled. She nodded and I did not waste a second and hugged her. She smelled like blueberry with citrus and vanilla. “Thank you,” I said, and I saw Kylo offer a hand to her. “What I did was inappropriate, I hope I did not cause any misunderstanding between our pack.” He still needed to protect the pack’s image as an Alpha. “Not at all,” she said and accepted his hand. “You must be very tired; my son Radian would escort you to our guest room.” She turned to where they are, but he was nowhere to be found. Only Orion was left in the room. “Orion, please escort them to our guest room and meet me hereafter.” She ordered her son, but I thought we should go.“We may want to stay for more but I’m afraid we have to go,” Kylo said which I agreed. “We have to be back soon as we can,” I added.“Do y
Chapter 79: Epilogue“Bring him back…” I was begging her to do that. I was ready to kneel in front of her. I have no right to ask him back because I was the one who killed him. I just wanted to see him again. To hold him again. I was filled with pain and anger brought me to that situation. I was blinded by their accusation that Zild only used me. I let them taint him. I was doing things that I thought served them right for betraying me. And it was too late for me to realize that I went too far. I lost him before my eyes. “I could not bring back the dead. You wanted him to die.” I couldn’t say I did not mean it or any excuses for my actions. I was losing my hope, but I looked up to her and kneeled. “Then take my life so I can be with him.” It was desperate, I know. But I knew I would not be able to live like this. If I couldn’t have him by my side then I’d rather die. “How about the thing that you fought for? The purpose that you carry on.” I looked around and saw my peopl
Chapter 78: Clash of Hearts The three men were the Legend Vampires. The two pure ones and one half-blooded. Zild was snarling at them while Gael and Ryvan stood behind him holding their swords. They were the three princes who came from a Royal family that was supposed to be the Kings of their clans. Everyone thought they were alone, but a werewolf walked in and stood in front of Zild. He had red fur and stood with power. He growled harder than Lavelle did, and his voice was filled with power. His power was recognized by the werewolves. He was a direct descendant of the Royal Alpha. Zild stood up carrying his mate and anger was visible in his eyes. “You have no right to do that ritual anymore!” He said and Minerva walked closer. “We have no choice! She had cause—” “Leave!” She flinched when he snapped at her like that. “You can’t handle her—” “Are you saying I cannot handle my mate, Minerva?” She looked around and she knew that they could not fight against them. The werewo
Chapter 77: Execution RitualShe slowly turned to the main door with a smile. She saw Alpha Zenith with the witches with her. Soon she noticed that the whole palace was surrounded by werewolves and witches. “What a lovely visitor.”“Do not harm the child, Lavelle.” “And had guts to speak my name with her filthy mouth.” The Lavelle she was talking about was entirely different from the Lavelle she knew. She had hopes that she could do it, but she lost it and now she had to be executed. Alpha Zenith stands back and lets the army fight her. Countless spells flicker from their wands and Lavelle easily repelled at once. “It was a mistake that you stepped into my territory.” Some started to fall because of the heavy force that surrounds them. Soon the werewolves broke in through the window and attacked her. She swiftly moved to avoid them and using her hands she quickly stabbed their heart. She raised her bloody left arm with a smile. “Do not worry, this would be quick and not pa
Chapter 76: The Mad QueenShe realized that it was truly Lavelle who she hated so much. She started crying in anger and pain. “You are no different to me, Laia. Don’t tell me you have forgotten what you did to me?” “Liar! Lavelle can never do something like this! She’s weak!” The mad Queen started laughing at her and pointed to herself. “Do I look weak? Tell me, Laia, do I look WEAK?” She sobbed harder. “It doesn’t mean I appear weak, I am weak. I appear soft-hearted I am weak. I could crash you like a lemon anytime anywhere I like. And it doesn’t mean I kept letting your cruelness pass, I will let it pass forever. I did nothing even if you ruined me before that doesn’t mean I wanted you to keep going.” She raised her hand and was about to slap her, but her nails were out. She clawed her across her face, and she passed out. She looked up and raised her hand. She was smiling like everything that was happening was pleasing to her. She walked back to the palace and as she passe
Chapter 75: Emotional TortureIt hurts, I knew it hurts but I could not believe it. It was impossible. Vien died long ago. “She was reincarnated they say, and she recently remembered Zild.” She said like she could hear what I was thinking. “As I said before, Laia. You cannot fool me again.” “Do you want another proof that I met them and talked to them?” I glared at her. Only if she was on the ground, I would’ve jumped to her and torn her head off her body. “You better shut your mouth.” “Oh, give me a sec.” She vanished and returned in a few seconds. “They gave me this, ask me if they could return this to you.” I could feel my anger getting out of control within me when I saw who she was holding. “This puppy is kind of huge.” “Lefu…” “And it's heavy—ops!” She suddenly dropped her, so I jumped away from Argon to catch her, but she was fast to catch her first. “Laia! She has nothing to do with us. Let her go, she’s just a child!” “She’s a puppy, can’t you see?” She eve
Chapter 74: Almost Won‘Radian told me,’ She said. As we entered the palace it was clear that they were losing. Until I came with tied hands. Everyone stopped and my people was forced to kneel on the ground. Everyone was looking at us. I let them down again. “Is that how you really fight, Queen?” One of my men shouted. “It was nothing back when I saw you fight against King.” My eyes widen when I heard that. I fought against Zild? I hide my emotion and did not show I was confused. When did I fight him? “You are truly a disappointment,” Argon said and dropped Jane carelessly. “I wanted to play with you but you’ve killed a valuable ally, so I need to punish you.” He said and got his katana. Jane tried to stand up but he already point his katana at her. “You can’t do that,”“I can! I can, Lavelle. In fact, I can cut every one of you one by one. You may kill every werewolf here. It doesn’t matter, they are Kylo’s army. With or without them, I can take you down.” “You better n
Chapter 73: Submission to the Queen‘Look at me, Jane. I am no queen anymore or was never a queen,’ I noticed her eyes turned teary, but she held it back. ‘I don’t care if you’re weak and delusional anymore. I don’t care if you’re stupid. I wanted to stay with you, please, I’m begging you, let me stay with you. I can keep my distance, so you’d not feel unsafe. Let me fight with you, Queen Lavelle.’ Why was she begging?‘Why?’ ‘I don’t know, I was ashamed of what I have done. But I hear selfishly asking for forgiveness as if it was that easy. I was never trusted as you did. I was never believed as you did. No one ever looked at me like you did. You made me feel like it was alright to act as who I am around you. Please let me stay.’ I looked away and continued fixing my sleeve. ‘Do as you like,’ She bowed her head and stepped back before turning to leave. I did not know how to react. Forgiveness was too easy for me back then. I could not do it anymore, or not now. My head and
Chapter 72: Alpha Zenith’s SuggestionI thought I would never open my eyes again. When I gain my consciousness, found myself in the woods, there were green lively leaves above dancing in the wind. And the sky was bright blue. I sat up and everyone turned to me. “Did I sleep too much?” Jane came to me and then I felt her heavy fist on my head. “Ahw!” “Vampires don’t sleep, stupid!” Good to see she was back on track. “You did not sleep, you almost died. If I did not bump into Radian, you could’ve been gone to ashes.” “Thank you for your concern, Jane.”“How are you feeling?” asked Alpha Zenith. I smiled as she gave me a cup of blood. “Very well,” I answered. She nodded and stared at me more. I was starting to feel that she could see my soul.“Everyone is fine, I manage to get them out before they could take over, but they caught you. We failed to find your beta and gamma.” I nodded and tried not to show any emotion. “Where’s Zild?” They went silent and the atmosphere be
Chapter 71: Chained and Defeated“Red, can you find Zild?”I was about to curse him when he stared at me. ‘Trust my son,’ I remember his mother said that. He did not give him his real name, so I hope I still have him on my side. “Your majesty, I saw someone will come and save him. Given that, he must be here in the palace still.” He answered formally. “You got a good comrade here, Lavelle. Sadly, he was wise enough to side with us once he saw you’ve been defeated.” He introduced himself as my comrade. He cleared to me that he would help but not visibly my comrade. “How could you.” I stared at him, and he only had a stone expression. “I cannot believe I trusted a wizard like you,” I said and it was followed by a triumphant laugh of Kylo. As expected by Argon, he was still doubting Radian.“Bring him here, you fail, and I’ll kill you.” He said which made Kylo stop. “Come on, Argon. He’s just a boy with efficient ability. We cannot waste someone like him, he’d be a big help.
