Into the Woods Chapter 40: The Hallow Eve
Chapter 40: The Hallow Eve Trigger Warning: Read at your own risk. Everyone at the venue were happy as to how Elias and Apollo ended their time. Many have said that it was the most logical decision the alpha have made and they couldn’t be proud of him more. Now, it is clear for them that the alpha chooses them, like how it should be. An elegant clap echoed while everyone started to continue their businesses on their specific group. They were dancing in victory and many were eating happily on their tables. Meanwhile, Shahida stood there shock. Even Isadora who arrived a little early reacted the same. Elias just left thirty minutes ago but the alpha nor the Senior Council and Isabelle didn’t move from where they were. Shahida felt something eerie in the surrounding. When her gaze found her brother’s, she noticed he balled his fist and eyes turned piercing black. He has become his old self now; the Apollo they used to know. Dark, unforgiving, and uncontrolled. The Senior Council dis
Into the Woods Chapter 41: The Alpha's Mark
Chapter 41: The Alpha’s Mark Andrius escorted the alpha along with Shahida to the mansion. Isadora waited for them at the entrance and prepared them chamomile tea she brought from Fortluck. But, all of them refused to take the tea as Apollo headed to his room without looking back. Neither of the three spoke and silence swept over. When Andrius told them to rest for the night, they all nodded in unison. But Andrius’ voice didn’t let Elias escape from its bitterness. Meanwhile, Elias felt something in his body ached. He doesn’t know where is it exactly but it’s excruciating enough. He sat on his bed, tilting his head to his bedside table, looking for the clock. It’s past midnight. The surrounding is silent, even the crickets didn’t make any noise. “How are you feeling?” Elias caught his breathe jolt. He roamed his eyes around to see who the man was. He was leaning at the door, studying him as he sat up. He tried standing up away from the bed but he tripped as the ache he felt worse

Into the Woods Chapter 43: The Attempted Murder
Chapter 43: The Attempted Murder The next evening, Andrius went back to the mansion and had dinner with the Valencourts. After getting the information he got from Samael with the bandits, he went home and decided to keep it to himself. Seeing Elias in front of him made him scowled. He examined him as if he’s a fugitive on the run. Elias felt that someone’s staring at his back. When he caught Andrius, he smiled at him as greeting, like they are civil. But to his surprise, Andrius turned his back and ignored him, which was understable. Everyone was present at the dinner table—Apollo, Elias, Shahida, Andrius, and Senior Isadora. The food is salivating as Shahida could not put herself down because of the food on the table. “Shahida!” Isadora warned her as she started picking for her plate. Shahida just pouted at her and blinked her eyes to indulge herself to Isadora. “The alpha will start the food. We’ve been practicing these every day. That’s the culture,” she reminded her. “But,
Into the Woods Chapter 44: The Planted Evidence
Chapter 44: The Planted Evidence Elias slept early when the situation calmed down. He waited Apollo inside his room but he never came so he decided to sleep. He thought that Apollo might be busy because of the situation and just like how he was ordered, he stayed. While sleeping someone entered his room with all black outfit and unrecognizeable. He puts the weapon under Elias’ bed and blood on his bedsheets and hands. Tired as he is, he is unaware of his surroundings. He’s in deep sleep and he could die without noticing. At dawn, a loud knock outside Apollo’s room echoed. Annoyed by the consecutive knocks, Apollo got up from bed with his robe still on, dishelved hair and frown on his face. “I apologize for the sudden outburst, alpha. But, you need to know that Senior Isadora was found dead in the middle of the forest,” Rico reported hysterically. “I am sorry for your loss.” Apollo’s eyes grew bigger and ran off from his room. He squinted like he was stumbling over the staircase
Into the Woods Chapter 45: Shahida's Demise
Chapter 45: Shahida’s Demise The Senior Council organized an advanced victory celebration inside his mansion. All the councils were invited, Andrius, and Isabelle. They are happily celebrating for the demise of the alpha tomorrow and Elias’ death. Isabelle smirked at the imagination; Elias on his deathbed and finally her father reigning the Northcrest. After that, she thought she‘d be able to do what she wanted all her life. To be with Apollo with no what-if’s and regrets until the end. Since she was a kid, she dreamt of becoming Apollo’s other half and only death could separate them. She owed to her younger self to realize the little Isabelle’s dream. “Are you ready for tomorrow, little sister?” Andrius asked Isabelle after swallowing his last drop of wine. Isabelle smiled. “I’ve never been this excited, brother. Thank you for always protecting me. I owe you a lot.” Andrius shrugged. “Don’t think about it. You were my only sister and I will always protect you from harm. Okay? No
Into the Woods Chapter 46: The Truth Disclosure
Chapter 46: The Truth Disclosure Shahida left the mansion after Isabelle announced in front of her face the thing she didn’t remember doing. But slowly, the memories she longed to remember resurfaced in her mind. Even though she refused to believe them, her heart is doing otherwise. She saw the Headseeress that night together with the Senior Council. She thought that Isabelle might be lying about it. She rummaged Isadora’s things until she found out what she’s looking for. The same box Apollo found inside their Aunt’s closet. Shahida didn’t know that her existence during the curse is pivotal of the success of it. According to the witch, she only need a virgin woman who had a pure desire to fulfil. I thought dragging Shahida on that matter would make Northcrest better, as the witch said that with you reigning as a mate of the alpha is a demise of our future. Shahida was left her usual strength as wave of unfiltered emotion drowned her system. The letter she’s holding now dropped
Into the Woods Chapter 47: The Court Hearing
Chapter 47: The Court Hearing “What do you mean Elias murdered Aunt Isadora?” Rowan’s voice echoed the four cornered room as Shahida told him what happened in the mansion. She made it into detail which made Rowan’s blood boil. He couldn’t believe that after all Venise’s had suffered, she will be on her deathbed again. “Why would Elias do that? She cannot do such a thing. I… I mean Venise.” His face screamed confusion. He couldn’t fathom why would Elias do such thing. After many days of investigating Elias from a distance, Rowan knew how good of a person he is. Even after he discovered at he is Venise. It does not make sense to him. “The evidences were pointed to him. Even I didn’t fo,b vresee he could do it,” Shy explained. “We know how much Venise loved Aunt Isadora. She won’t do it.” Shy shook her head. “I don’t know anymore.” “When’s the court hearing begin?” he asked. Instead of answering him, she asked back, “Where’s the sun right now?” “At east.” “They’re probably sta

The familiar bed he’s laying, the dark room he’s in, and the familiar figure from the window.One thing sinks in his mind is the alpha’s room.Seeing him from a distant, Elias could nto help but runs toward the alpha’s direction. he hugs him from his waist which makes the alpha stills.“Apollo,” he cries.“Glad what you are touching?”Elias slaps his abs lightly as Apollo chuckles at his shyness. Apollo turns his body towards Elias and faces him with all his heart.“You are late.”“Huh?” Elias looks confuse.“Why did you wake up so late? Everyone has been waiting for our wedding?”“Wedding?” He pulls himself from him.“Yeah. Our wedding. Shahida takes care of everything while Rowan keeps on nagging me because you sleep for an entire season.”“I sleep the entire season?”“Do you have anything to say other than questioning me back of what I have said?”“The last time I check, we are in a war and I died. I met Aunt Isad
Into the Woods Chapter 54: Should I Give Up?
Chapter 54: Should I Give Up? “Let Elias leave and you will have your precious daughter back.” Shahida threatens the Senior Council which makes him stands up. Even Andrius himself stops what he is doing with Rico and focuses on Isabelle instead. Apollo never expects that Shahida would make Isabelle a hostage. This is not part of the plan. She is supposed to be in the hideout as of this moment. “Shahida, what are you doing here?” Apollo blurts out. “You’re suppose to be away from here.” “Shahida!” Rowan exclaims. “Drop that weapon.” “I’m sorry, gentlemen, but I could not let you both stay here. This war starts because of me,” Shahida admits. “If I didn’t like Rowan before, we will not be here fighting one another.” Rowan feels guilty. “Shahida, you are so young back then. You have no idea what’s happening. The adults have wronged you, not yourself,” Sergio lectures her who is beside her trying to stop her. Shahida grips Isabelle’s neck tighter with her left arm as her right ho
Into the Woods Chapter 53: The War
Chapter 53: The War“Stop!”The warrior from the entrance of the Valencourt mansion cut them from entering the premises. Apollo and Rowan share glances as the warrior comes to inspect what they bring.“Do you have an invitation for the event? You cannot go inside without invitation,” asks the warrior.Because of their cloak and look, the warrior fails to recognize them. Shahida paints them make up for them to look like the Nightingale’s staff—a tavern which sells women and wines.Rowan answers, “We are from the Nightingale and the Senior Council… I mean the new Alpha orders us new goods for tonight. We are runnin late and we need to take them inside.”Apollo should stay silent because his voice is too arrogant and authorative. He will be recognize once he speaks one word.“You can check it if you’re doubting,” Rowan offers, motioning his hand to the closed wagon.“I’ll check the goods, then.”The warrior checks the wagon from the small window. He sneaks and finds women with their silk
Into the Woods Chapter 52: The Preparation
Chapter 52: The Preparation The next morning, the training were divided into five and they were spearheaded by Sergio, Rowan, Apollo, Shahida, while other old people helped Elias in making sleeping bomb. Those people whom they saved last night helped in making weapons and since they were warriors who had sentenced in their lifetime. It wasn’t hard for Apollo in the training. They were also given the chance to surrender themselves to the Northcrest and they were automatically be free if they win their battle. If not, Apollo will let them do what they want to do with their lives. Thye just need to stay alive… whatever it takes. Sergio trained some for combat fight. He grouped them in pair and each pair had to fight. Meanwhile Rowan and Apollo took the other to use weapons and tools for fighting. Apollo has expertise in swords so he taught them the proper stance and the correct posture so that they will not hurt themselves. Shahida, on the other hand, taught women physical combat and
Into the Woods Chapter 51: The Plans
Chapter 51: The Plans “Alpha, our armed forces are not enough for the war you have been planning. We were only few in here. Our women couldn’t fight, especially old and children.” Sergio explained his concerns as Apollo planned to attack his mansion. He had already told Rowan about his plan. However, as Sergio mentioned it would be hard for them to visualize in the real time. Most people here are old and children which are unable to be with them. Their women have no experience when it comes to war and they have been deprive of the Northcrest to wear and bring tools for war. They are only reserved in the kitchen, in the house. There, Apollo realized what he have been missing all these years. The discrimination and culture he preserved for the Northcrest became a sad truth as they only make them investment inside the house. “Our weapon are nothing compared to theirs. You know that, beta Rowan. We will surely lose even we will try so hard. We’ll just go there and die,” the other one
Into the Woods Chapter 50: The Fake Winning
Chapter 50: The Fake Winning Three days after… “The alpha of Northcrest has dead. The alpha of Northcrest has dead!” The news spread like wildfire inside Northcrest, that Apollo---the alpha---left the universe. People at the public market couldn’t believe it. As the news bearer continued announcing while throwing the newspaper into the air. People stopped from what they’re doing. They knelt down on the ground and stayed silent to give the alpha’s soul and commemoration. It was a long silence and the alpha’s apologists couldn’t believe what they hear, especially Heban, who once attended to Elias and Shahida. “The Senior Council must have done this. The alpha won’t die like this. That is impossible.” Heban is a seer. He could see future and feel if the person is dead or not. To his confusion, he can still feel the presence of the alpha. Meanwhile at Valencourt’s mansion, Isabelle ordered everyone to remove all the things Elias used. They fired people who were loyalists
Into the Woods Chapter 49: The Return
Chapter 50: The Return Shahida was having fun with everyone inside the hideout as Alari and other kids were teaching her shadow play. It’s a game of poor to average people used to play when there’s no light. They make animal shadows through their hands and reflect it to the wall. She was having fun when she heard a commotion outside. “Alari, wait here, huh? I’ll just check outside. Don’t let your friends go out. Understood?” she told Alari who kept on nodding at her. “Yes, Aunt Shahida.” “Good boy.” Shy pinched his fat cheek and went outside. Shahida shut the door closed and roamed her eyes around. Her gaze was fixated to Rowan’s people who gathered around to someone who were lying on the ground. At first, she thought it’s one of the warriors, however when she recognized the ring on its finger, she immediately ran towards the person. “Brother…” she cried as she knelt down on the ground. Everyone bowed their heads, mourning for the death of Apollo and Elias. “What happened to him?
Into the Woods Chapter 48: The Heart Stopper
Chapter 49: Heart Stopper Apollo drove his car beyond his usual speed after learning the truth. After he left the hall earlier, he went straight to the sentinel where Lily and Lyla were. He asked the two while kneeling on the floor to speak for the truth. He cried in front of the two which the two didn’t expect. Fearing that they will be killed, the alpha assured them that he will spare them. “The beta told us to never talk,” Lily started. “It was the beta’s order to put poison powder on the food,” Lyla added softly. “Forgive us, alpha,” the two pleaded. Apollo’s veins on his neck popped up in anger. He stood from his feet and gathered all his men to the public market. All he thinks that moment is that getting Elias safe from the sentence. I’m sorry, Eli. I’ll be there. Wait for me. Apollo arrived at the market in chaos and inorder. People were screaming as masked men were slaughtering the Senior Council’s men. Elias was no longer seen on the platform. “Leave these people on m

Chapter 47: The Court Hearing “What do you mean Elias murdered Aunt Isadora?” Rowan’s voice echoed the four cornered room as Shahida told him what happened in the mansion. She made it into detail which made Rowan’s blood boil. He couldn’t believe that after all Venise’s had suffered, she will be on her deathbed again. “Why would Elias do that? She cannot do such a thing. I… I mean Venise.” His face screamed confusion. He couldn’t fathom why would Elias do such thing.
