CHAPTER 98~3RD PERSON'S POV~The exploding sounds of the alphas and betas battling shook the hideout where all the maids were located. They all believed that their alpha would win this battle in no time at all, so none of them looked worried. Except for Christine.Christine paced around, looking very distressed. She had something she needed to say to Gregory and was worried that she wouldn't get the chance to say it if anything bad happened to him.“Hey, what's wrong?” Marie asked.“It's… I really need to see Gregory. I can't sit here and do nothing while he's out there fighting for our lives,” Christine said.“You seriously want to speak to him now? He's in the middle of a serious battle at the moment; you'll get killed if you go out there,” Marie replied.“I know, but… I still have to go see him; this might be my last chance,” Christine said."There's no way I'm letting you go out there. Besides, Cortana is guarding the door, and she has orders to deal with any maid who tries to lea
CHAPTER 99~3RD PERSONS POV~Gabriella breathed heavily as her eyes swung open. She looked around her as she continued to pant, examining her surroundings until she realized she was inside a tight wooden case.“I'm… Alive?” She said softly as her panting reduced. She tried to sit up quickly, but slammed her head into the glass lid of the long case she was in.“Oww!!” She exclaimed. She couldn't move her arms or legs, as the case was very narrow. After struggling for a bit, she turned to the glass lid and swung her head at it again, this time shattering it to pieces with her werewolf strength.The broken glass fell on her face and body, and she quickly sat up.“Ughh!” she groaned as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She looked down and found the dagger still hanging from her body.She grabbed the dagger's handle and slowly pulled it out, groaning louder and louder as the dagger left her body. She dropped the dagger to the ground and let out soft breaths as the wound healed up compl
CHAPTER 100~3RD PERSON'S POV~Gregory suddenly burst through a wall in the mansion, spreading stone and dust in the air. He hit his back on the next wall and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. “I must admit, somehow, you got a lot better than the first time we met, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm still stronger and I'm going to beat you,” Eugene said as he stepped through the large hole in the wall.He stopped before Gregory and continued, “Unlike the last time, my orders are to kill anyone who is likely to pose a threat to the alpha, so I will not be holding back."“Blah, blah,” Gregory said, getting back on his feet and wiping the dust off his trousers.Gregory raised his fists again and tightened them. “The last time we met, I was exhausted from all the other battles; this time, I'm fully prepared for everything you have to offer. When I'm done killing you and your alpha, I'll hang your heads at the gates as a warning for anyone who dares to challenge the Dark Moon pac
CHAPTER 101~3RD PERSON'S POV~Alpha Derren and Alpha Steven slowly walked toward each other, their bright red alpha auras burning around their bodies like raging flames. The pressure in the passage they stood in was so great that any other werewolf who stepped in would be crushed instantly. The ground and walls vibrated rigorously, and the wooden floor on which they stood had been completely destroyed only by the weight of their power.“How long has it been since I felt this excited? All my opponents so far have failed to rile me up the way you have; they all end up dying the moment I stand before them,” Steven said through clenched teeth, his eyes glowing bright red.“Same here. It's too bad I have to end your life now; you would have made a good sparing partner,” Derren replied with a smirk.Both alphas suddenly launched at each other. As they clashed fists, the entire mansion shook. Each blow pushed them back in opposite directions, but they rushed at each other almost immediately
CHAPTER 102~3RD PERSON’S POV~Gabriella’s growls slowly became quiet as her eyes widened. She lifted her paws off Derren's body and moved away from him slowly. The images of the name on the card during her test in the tower flashed in her head. Derren, who still had a smile on his face, got up from the ground and walked toward her slowly, and Steven watched in silence.Gabriella stared at Derren for a moment and suddenly ran back through the hole in the wall.“Hey, where are you going?” Derren yelled, watching her disappear into the darkness of the passage. He turned back to Steven after she was gone and asked.“What is Meredith doing in your building?"“You mean Gabriella? She works for me as my personal maid; who is she to you?” Steven asked.Derren turned to the passage again and replied softly, “She’s my sister.”*****Gabriella ran through the passages, searching for the hideout the other girls had gone to. Her eyes still had traces of confusion in them, as she couldn’t wrap her
CHAPTER 103~GABRIELLA’S POV~Christine, Marie, and I served dishes in the cafeteria early in the morning. Many of the maids who came by to get their meals asked the same question that even I didn’t know the answer to: Where was Clarabelle? It had already been a few days since she stabbed me, and she still hadn’t come out of hiding. If only I knew where she went...If only I knew where she went.“It’s just not the same without Clarabelle around; don’t you think we should try to look for her?” I asked whichever of the two girls cared to listen. Christine picked up a tray of parboiled rice and walked over to the counter, replying,"Look, I understand that you’re worried about Clarabelle, and yes, we should be making attempts to look for her, but we were just servants. How in the world are we going to find her? We don’t even know where she went.”I let out a sigh, then turned to Marie. “Marie, what do you think?” I asked her.“You want to know what I think? I think there are two possibil
CHAPTER 104~GABRIELLA’S POV~As his lips drew closer to mine, my breath got louder and my heart beat faster. My face grew red as I stared at him, and without thinking, I slammed my leg into his stomach. The attack sent him flying into a tree nearby, and as his back hit it, he groaned in pain.“What the heck was that for?” he yelled, getting back on his feet. I leaned forward and placed my hands on my knees, breathing heavily.“I’m sorry, I just need to... catch my breath,” I replied.“What? You’ve been standing in one place since you came here; why are you breathing so much? And is that steam coming out of your head?” Steven asked, walking back toward me.“I just… I just didn’t expect all this. I’ve been waiting for you to feel the mate bond for a while, and now you have. I’m still in shock. Hold on a second, will you?” I replied. Still letting out slow breaths. The moment he revealed that he had gotten all the memories of his second personality, something about him changed.That den
CHAPTER 105~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, what now? Are we supposed to wait for them?” Gabriella asked Steven with a whisper. He turned to her, then turned back to the three girls.“We shouldn’t disturb the process. Let’s just wait and see what happens,” he replied. From his voice, Gabriella could tell he was also unsure of what to do. They both watched the girls glow brightly for a few minutes, their hairs flowing around like a heavy wind blew from underneath them. After a while, Marie spoke.“My last moments of sanity are near; my mind is going blurry, and I have begun to forget important things in my life. The information on this page is one I have been told not to reveal to anyone, but alas, it is too heavy for my heart alone to carry. When the old woman arrived at my gates, she gave instructions that would set the stage for an event I did not understand at first: a watcher, one who would stand before the doors until the day their purpose was revealed.She asked that no one from the Mo
