At that moment, a heavy silence hung between us, and it seemed to envelop both of us. The attendant hurried in as if constrained by a tight schedule. I couldn't deny the awkwardness of the situation with Alpha, and I sensed his displeasure when the attendant entered. Alpha Knight gestured for the tub he had requested, and with a piece of clothing in hand, he submerged it in the warm water. He was mere inches from me, and I watched, perplexed, as he dipped the cloth into the water.

In a matter of seconds, my questions were answered as he began tending to my frostbitten feet. I instinctively drew my knees toward me, as if seeking solace in a self-embrace, wanting to avoid his care.

“I need to warm your feet,”

I bit my lip. “I can do it by myself, thank you very much,” I said, before attempting to snatch the piece of cloth in his hands, but his arms were longer than mine.

Without a word, Alpha Knight grabbed my arm and forced me to stay in place. I watched him as he reached for my fee

    41.1"What are you doing here?" I asked, well aware that my shock and confusion were evident.Alpha donned an extravagant warrior's attire, one I had never witnessed him wearing previously. Clutched in his hand was a bouquet of flowers, and his expression remained inscrutable."Amethyst...I wanted to talk to you,""Alpha...did you set me up? You and Teresa?"I fixed my gaze on him, anticipating a response. When he nodded, I drew in a deep breath. Why was he repeating this? What did he expect me to do?"Amethyst...you and I, we need to talk... Start over,""You believe it's that simple?" I stared at him in sheer disbelief. My positive memories of him had become hazy. My knowledge of him was sparse, and the same held true for his perception of me. If we weren't bound as mates, I was certain he wouldn't even consider me as a woman. He saw me as an enemy, and I held that belief.For months on end, I actually believed him—believed his words. Due to that, my worth dwindled, like a blue flam

    41.2Early in the morning, I received an unexpected visitor, but I wasn't yet fully dressed to receive them.I grumbled softly under my breath, feeling the weight of my body as I rose from the bed. I proceeded directly to the private bathhouse on the palace grounds. Despite my prolonged stay in this place, I still struggled to adapt to the scorching heat brought by the sun. It was a discomfort I had to endure, but I also acknowledged its value. If the West was too cold for me, the Eastern Kingdom was indeed excessively hot and humid. I needed to stay composed and keep my body accustomed to these conditions. I couldn't complain, particularly when I was treated fairly in this realm.Teresa entered the bathhouse with my clothing in hand, and I simply gestured for her to place it anywhere. She nodded, laying it on a wooden chair. Without wasting any time, I submerged myself in the water from head to toe. With the hot weather unlike in Eric's residence, I could feel sweat forming on my ski

    42"No. I won't allow it,""I thought you had already consented to this!""That was before I knew your life was at stake," he exclaimed, his eyes darkening. I understood that this conversation would be difficult, but my determination to proceed with the ritual remained unwavering. It had been my sole mission for quite some time, and now was not the moment to abandon it.I glanced at him. "Whether you agree or not, I want to do this," My heart almost lurched out of my chest when I said that.I nervously bit my lip, striving to prevent any unnecessary outbursts. The atmosphere seemed to grow tense as Alpha Knight loomed above me.Standing at a towering six feet, he exuded an intimidating aura that sharply contrasted the room's serene ambiance. With his prominent cheekbones and strong jawline, I couldn't help but wonder what it was like to be favored by the gods. Alpha's presence overshadowed me, and my view beyond him was obscured. Furthermore, his scent was enveloping me, clouding my t

    43Alpha Knight released a husky growl as my fingers traced the contours of his six-pack abs. His magnificent physique left me utterly captivated by his allure. In an electrifying moment, he reclaimed my lips, gently nipping my lower lip as our gazes remained locked. One of my hands clenched his hair, sending shivers and sparks coursing through my core. I arched my back in response to his kisses trailing along my neck, igniting fiery sensations beneath my skin.I gasped for air when he found and nibbled the soft spot on my neck. This was absolutely mind-racking. His touches and kisses, everything was enough to make me lose my mind. He was in complete control, while I was already a lost case. My train of thought was quickly interrupted when I felt his hands caressing my bottom, in response I moaned softly."What are you doing to me, Amethyst...and with just a kiss..."I was kind of glad to hear that I wasn't the only one heavily affected by this. Biting my lip, I gaze at his pitch-blac

    44I scanned my neck in front of the mirror, seeing the mark had already faded from my skin as it healed at its own pace. I was still angered by the fact that Alpha forcefully had marked me— then again, it was also my fault that I didn't believe him. Frowning, I leisurely traced it, wondering what a mark may signify. The scriptures in the East hadn't touched on the topic. Other than that, they were also written in complex language that required time to learn and adapt. Thus, another werewolf is my only source."I'm glad you're awake,"Teresa entered the room with a tub of warm water in her hand. I couldn't help but immediately notice her short hair which she probably cut while I was lying in bed, asleep for the whole day."Your hair suits you..." I complimented. She quickly snapped her attention towards me and focused on my hair as well."Thanks. And I got the courage from you,"I furrowed my brow. "I didn't even shorten mine," I replied."Yes, but I knew you wanted to," she replied,

    45.1Two veiled priestesses approached the central podium, carrying an incense holder. I couldn't help but cough briefly as I involuntarily inhaled the smoky haze that enveloped the area. On the room's right side, another veiled figure, clad in familiar black attire, stood. The shaman whom Eric had brought with him began to enact her spell. While Lady Heressa, the shaman, quietly chanted, a sprinkling of holy water descended upon me. This took me by surprise, causing me to flinch in response. Although the process felt strange, I refrained from making assumptions or seeking explanations, as I was certain that this was an entirely new experience for me.Based on the information they had provided me, the ritual would be divided into two phases. The first phase was expected to be relatively lighter, while the second one posed an undeniable and dangerous challenge that we aimed to avoid. Alpha Knight appeared deeply concerned, particularly as the ritual's commencement drew near. I recalled

    45.2Upon awakening, I could only describe one prevailing sensation: warmth. My gaze met a vast, austere chamber. Initially, it appeared boundless, as if it stretched infinitely, but within moments, I could discern its intricate details. A single expansive window stood opposite a stone fireplace, and while the room held minimal furnishings, it offered an inexplicable sense of comfort. In contrast to the typically suffocating and gloomy atmosphere of barren rooms, I felt a deep sense of belonging in this space.Could this be a memory of mine?I believed this was...I searched the entire space, hoping to find something familiar that might trigger my memory. Finally, my eyes landed on an amulet, casually resting in the center of the solitary table. As I reached to pick it up for a closer look, I hesitated upon sensing the presence of others. I stepped back and overheard a brewing argument among the approaching individuals."We're not sending her anywhere,"As two figures entered, panic s

    46.1The moon was the color of blood, the environment, a place I'd consider hell. There was nothing to see other than the horrors I wished I never relieved, turns out reality was harsher to witness than experience. With nothing I could do to help people who were suffering, seeing them killed in front of me, I fell into that spiral of hopelessness. If anything, I wished I'd be transported to the next place of memory, not this. Not bloodshed."Kill that monster!" A warrior ordered, possibly a general seeing the hint in his attire and that he was responsible for commanding others. I thought of General Rui and General Cassius, undeniably, fierce and serious when in battle.A person transformed into a werewolf right before my eyes, emitting a powerful, menacing growl from deep within his throat. Soon, others followed suit. As I observed the battlefield, a couple of significant revelations emerged. Firstly, the Southerners were also werewolves, and secondly, the West and South had formed a

He unintentionally glimpsed at my covered face, the glow in my eyes briefly holding his attention long enough to unsettle him. Pocketing the letter, he quickly exited the dimly lit room. The echoes of multiple footsteps reached my ears as I clenched my hands together, contemplating the day that lay ahead. I needed to act swiftly, preempting any suspicion from the Northern guards regarding the threats I had sent.The flickering light and the tolling of bells disrupted my thoughts. Something triggered my senses, but it faded as Accius' presence became apparent. Too tense to meet him outside, I awaited him within the small cabin. After a brief moment, the sound of hooves ceased at the entrance. I envisioned Accius dismounting, his familiar scowl etched across his features."I was hoping you'd come to the tavern.""I couldn't, not when most of the members are my own, not when I betr

    69Trigger Warning"There's always a duality of good and evil. Aligning yourself with great men is crucial if you aim to be the strongest,"Sitting by the fire, I felt a tumult of emotions, none of which carried warmth. Jean held my hand, tracing the lines of my palm with his finger. Despite the platter of food in front of me, I refrained from touching it, repelled by the presence of this monster by my side. Contrary to my expectations upon returning, the room remained empty. I used to dread solitude, but now, I longed for the company of another person."I never declared a desire for power,"Jean released his grip on me. "That is what you sought when I rescued... and trained you. I provided you with everything you needed, and in return, you betrayed us by crossing the line with our enemy."Snatching my wrist, Jean forcefully pushed me onto the long wooden table. I struggled against his hold, and a flood of malevolent thoughts accompanied a frantic heartbeat. "Why are you doing this? W

    68"Jean... what does he have to do with me?""What are you talking about?"I urgently seized his shoulders, a sense of desperation taking hold of me. "Tell me who I am... h-how I grew up by Alastair’s side. Who was I before?"He sighed heavily, a weight settling in the air. "You were his aide. His spy... sometimes a champion. You followed orders, you... were manipulated into believing Alastair’s cause. But your mother... well, she led not only a rebellion but gave us all hope. Those of us who were lost and without a home."As Accius spoke, a flood of conflicting emotions surged within me. The revelation about my past hit me like a tidal wave, each word chipping away at the facade that surrounded my upbringing. The connection to Alastair, the manipulation, everything was a bitter pill to swallow. And yet, in contrast, my mother's actions painted a picture of resilience and defiance that stirred a newfound sense of purpose within me. The weight of my past is now intertwined with the po

    I gave him a curious stare. Regardless of what he envisioned, it had to be doable. Otherwise, I'm unwilling to do things I am incapable of doing. At the moment, Accius is in full-on mystifying mode. Sure enough, I was correct in my suspicions."You've got this. This is in your hands now. You just need to do the same thing you did in the snowy mountains,"I paused at his remark. How did he know that? Was he among the vampires that attacked the East?Concerned about his involvement, my heart raced. From what I can tell about him, he seems like a sincere individual. I'm not usually a good judge of character. However, my situation does not permit me to be judgmental. I had to make do with the resources at my disposal. That leaves him the only person I can place my trust in at this point in time. It's a gamble, but I'm willing to take it if it means getting out of this abyssal place. I need to find a way to reconnect with Knight.As a response, I gave a nonchalant nod. At the very least, I

    66 He said, "The only real reason you can't is because you were in the wrong place to begin with. This is where you belong. Where you once lived. Time is not only the answer to getting your answers, sometimes you just need to go back to the past... go back to where you truly belong." I sighed, acknowledging the truth in his words. "You're right. If I want to remember, then this place is the perfect setting to harness my memories." The decision to confront the past, to explore this familiar yet mysterious place, lingered in the air like a quiet resolution. The surroundings, once overlooked, now held the potential to be a canvas for the fragments of recollection. I stood there, a silent observer ready to retrace steps that had faded into my memories. The air seemed charged with subtle energy as if the very atmosphere held the key to unlocking the doorways to remembrance. The familiar sights and sounds took on new significance, transforming into clues that could lead me back to the mo

    65In the midst of the soft whispers of falling snowflakes, I cautiously made my way beyond the grand doors of the snowy castle manor. The air was sharp and cold, and the floors beneath my boots were uniformly blanketed with snow. The entire world around me had transformed into a winter wonderland—so, this is the North. The castle's majestic turrets stood tall, resembling silent sentinels against the canvas of the pristine, snow-covered landscape.I was enveloped in a snug, fur-lined cloak of deep burgundy, its rich hue contrasting beautifully with the surrounding white. In my hands, I clutched the letter from Fionna. The soft crunch of snow beneath my boots reverberated in silence as I ventured into the castle's courtyard, hoping that no guards were lurking nearby.The snowflakes continued their delicate dance, settling on my golden hair and creating a glistening crown. The scent of pine and the distant crackling of a fireplace wafted through the air, enveloping the surroundings in a

    64Having regained my composure, I finally took a much-needed break, a rarity in recent times. However, Jean's icy and threatening stare continued to haunt my thoughts, and his words persisted in my nightmares.Following the tumultuous events, Jean, unable to suppress his anger, departed without providing any clarification. The uneasy atmosphere from the brief gathering would have overwhelmed me if Alastair hadn't done the same.I rubbed my temples while squeezing my eyes shut tight. I was overcome with emotion as the snowstorm raged outside. This desolate place was becoming familiar territory for my former self, but that person was no longer here. Thoughts of being involved in such awful acts, the murders, tortured my mind. What if I'm to blame for this? If that is the case, is it too late to change?After a prolonged internal struggle, I managed to regain my composure. Now was not the time to entertain such unsettling thoughts; my immediate concern was to escape.I meticulously exam

    63It took me a while to fully process what I had just learned. His words echoed in my ears, casting a shadow over every corner of my mind and emotions. How? How is it possible? A myriad of questions swirled in my head, and none of the answers I could conjure seemed acceptable. Could he really be my father? I used to believe it was the man I saw in my mother's memories—Leo. Honestly, I never anticipated Alastair's involvement to be this profound. Somehow, my mind struggles to comprehend the idea. I can't fathom the truth if he is indeed my father. It just doesn't seem plausible.He won't be...everThe lingering shadow of Alastaire's presence still cast a pall over my mind after his unwelcome visit. However, he didn't depart without leaving a message: 'Tomorrow, you will be meeting someone. Bring your best behavior.'Naturally, I was terrified—terrified of the person I would meet. The horrors of the past and the recent attacks weighed heavily on my mind. And Teresa... how could I forge

    62Before I could fully recover, I mulled over what had happened. Unlike the resistance the vampires show in sunlight, the energy burst from within made dying in sunlight a probability. Vampires can have enchantments and that of course was used to diminish their inability to be exposed in daylight. Teresa looked at me in her wolf form, her eyes going wide, as she too was taken aback. I could practically guess the questions streaming in her mind. But besides that, the battle is not yet finished. “Keep your attention elsewhere Teresa!” I exclaimed, and again, she responded with a growl. A flash of angry vampires showing their fangs darted in our direction. As much as I wanted to mimic the burst of power, for some unknown reason, I couldn’t. I don’t know how…I tried to hide my difficulty summoning the energy once more but they were fast, and in a rapid moment, they tipped me over, I crashed and scrambled across the ground Then one vampire approached me.
