CHAPTER FIFTY SEVENRyker walked away, thinking about his plans. "Viktor, hold Anabelle hostage," he said. "I have something to do. Don't let her leave."Viktor nodded. "Okay, Ryker," he said.Ryker left, and Viktor was in charge of Anabelle. She looked around nervously. "What's going on?" she asked. "Why can't I leave?"Viktor shrugged. "Ryker said so, and you can't go anywhere till he says so." he replied.Anabelle was angry. She wanted to leave, but Viktor wouldn't let her. "This isn't fair," she said. "Ryker will regret this."Viktor just raised an eyebrow. He didn't look worried. " oh ... I'm shaking in my boots." he said sarcastically.The atmosphere suddenly shifted, becoming dark and foreboding. Clouds gathered, and the air grew thick with anticipation. Ryker's eyes gleamed with excitement as he raised his hands to the sky."Time, stand still!" he commanded, his voice echoing through the darkness.The world around him seemed to pause, as if time itself was holding its breath
CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT_RYKER_I stumbled backwards, my mind reeling as a sudden flash of memory crossed my mind. What the...? I thought to myself, trying to shake off the dizziness. And then it hit me - the memory that had flashed across my mind was of the globe, and the girl's face was reflected in it. I had seen her before, through the globe!My eyes scanned the area frantically, but she was nowhere to be seen. I cursed under my breath, realizing I had let my guard down. I should have been more careful.As I regained my composure, I couldn't shake off the feeling that the girl was more than just a mere mortal. There was something mysterious about her, something that drew me in. And what was her connection to Orion and Selene?I searched the area, but she had vanished into thin air. I knew I had to find her again, to uncover the truth behind her enigmatic presence. Little did I know, our encounter was only the beginning of a tangled web of fate and magic.I took a deep breath, trying
CHAPTER FIFTY NINE_MRS CLAIRE_I had always looked forward to this time of my life when Selene is all grown up and ready to take up her place as our savior. I have vowed that I was going to fight with my blood and I wouldn't care more as Selene would make my death worth a while.Standing by the window, I had left Selene with Lady Evelyn at the palace and I came back home alone. Selene needs my help now than ever.She needs all the packs to be in her Favor. I've always been scared to go back to my pack due to my childhood trauma from my family. My evil Beta Uncle had found a way to convince everyone against my father and take his place. He also found a way to harm me, but all thanks to Selene's Father. Now I have to pay back by doing something to help Selene. I took my pan and scribbled on a note. I put the note on the table, in case Selene came back to look for me.I looked around in the room again and sighed. I walked out of the house and headed through the woods I couldn't bear
CHAPTER SIXTY_ORION IN HIS STATE OF COMMA_Orion saw himself in a dark smoky place and he couldn't even tell what he was doing there. He attempted standing up to look around but he couldn't when he looked down, he saw that he was bound. As Orion struggled against his restraints, he suddenly saw a bright light illuminating the dark smoky place. The light grew intense, and he felt himself being lifted up, as if by an unseen force. He looked around, disoriented, and saw that he was now standing on the top of a house, feeling the wind whipping through his hair.But the peacefulness of the scene was short-lived, as the atmosphere grew cloudy and ominous. Orion's instincts told him that something was off, and he scanned his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the source of the danger.That was when he saw her - a lady in white, standing afar off beside someone, that looked like him. It was like he was split into two.She looked familiar, and Orion's mind raced as he tried to place her. And t
CHAPTER SIXTY ONE_ORION IN HIS STATE OF COMMA_"Wait!" she cried, her voice ringing out across the landscape. "Don't you ever wonder if Ryker is truly your master, or if he's just using you to achieve what he wants?"The werewolves were taken aback by her sudden boldness, but they quickly recovered and snarled at her. However, Selene stood her ground, her eyes locked on theirs."Do you know that Ryker plans to destroy you all once he achieves his goals?" she asked, her voice dripping with conviction. "He's using you, manipulating you, and you're just blindly following him!"The werewolves looked at each other uncertainly, clearly taken aback by Selene's words. Ryker appeared, his face twisted in rage."Enough of this nonsense!" he screamed, his voice echoing off the walls. "You're just trying to confuse them, Selene! But it won't work!"But Orion had already taken advantage of the distraction to scan their surroundings, and he spotted a flowing stream of water coming from the top of
CHAPTER SIXTY TWO_SELENE_I stepped out of the room as I began thinking why on Earth the moon goddess made sure of it to see me miserable.I found out I was werewolf so late into my life. when I actually thought I had a normal life.I found out my aunt isn't my aunt but a maid in my parents house.I found out I have an uncle who is an evil man and I'm to fight against him to save all the packs. I found out I was mated to a cold Alpha and I was from an Alpha bloodline.Every incident so far has been messy for me.Now that I thought I was going to enjoy my life with my mate peacefully, my mate dies."Like, why am I cursed? Why does it have to be me?" "Why does my life get messed up whenever I think I'm getting better?"" I can't do this, it's all stupid and silly" I groaned angrily."To hell with the moon goddess, To hell with every damn thing she said." "Why do you always have to make my life so difficult?" I muttered to myself, kicking a stone in frustration. "Can't you just leav
CHAPTER SIXTY THREE_SELENE_I was leaving when I heard her talking again."I'm afraid that's not possible, Selene," the moon goddess said, her voice firm but gentle. "You are a guardian of the packs, and you cannot simply reject your destiny. You have a responsibility to protect them, to lead them.""I don't want it," I said, shaking my head. "I don't want to be a guardian. I don't want to be responsible for anyone else's lives. I just want to be free."The moon goddess sighed, her expression softening. "Selene, you are not like other humans. You have a special gift, a special purpose. You cannot simply walk away from that.""I can try," I said, my voice defiant. "I can try to leave it all behind and start a new life, a life without the constant fear and responsibility."The moon goddess shook her head. "You cannot escape your destiny, Selene. It will follow you wherever you go. And besides, you are not just a guardian. You are a leader. You have a role to play in the greater scheme
CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR_ARIEL_As Selene's best friend, and like a sister to her. It was the most shocking part of her life I got to know. I know how much Selene hates the idea of werewolves and all that. Not to talk of being a werewolf from an Alpha bloodline?I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Selene, my best friend, my sister in every way, was telling me that she was with a birthmark owned by werewolves? It sounded like a joke, but the seriousness in her voice told me otherwise."Guys, I'm telling you, I have this birthmark on my body and it means I'm from an Alpha werewolf bloodline," Selene said over the phone.I was taken aback. I had always known Selene to be a skeptic when it came to supernatural things, and now she was telling me that she was one of us?"Selene, that's impossible," I said, trying to reason with her. "You know as well as I do that you've always been a normal person all your life, how come you suddenly have that birthmark?"But Selene was insistent. She told us
