Moonlit Pages Chapter 30: Weaving
"What's up with you two?"Galen wiggled his brows while whispering into Verena's ears. He kept on giggling as he was pointing out how Zoren was sitting by the door, looking at the perfect view of the forest right outside their palace."What's up with us?" Verena asked him back. "Why are you asking me that question so suspiciously?" She crossed her arms and shook her head. "I see nothing in your eyes but pure malice, Galen. I already know what you are hinting at, and no, there is nothing."Galen sat down, making a weird, sour face towards Verena. He sipped his coffee while still glancing at Zoren, then quickly turned to Verena with a raised brow."Stop doing that, Galen," she said. "You look really stupid, you know?""Don't say that; you will hurt my feelings." Galen stuffed his face with a huge bite of salad and aggressively chewed. "I was just curious what you star-crossed lovers are up to now.""Shut up; don't call us that," she whispered. "Zoren might hear you.""He will, for sure,
Moonlit Pages Chapter 31: Movie
Verena's POVWhen he told me to lock myself up and not think of anything else but my own thoughts and acceptance of the new reality that was just unlocked right before my eyes, I followed Galen. I bet he knew what I needed, even though he himself is not a normal human being. It honestly sounds ridiculous. How am I going to magically become a witch and a daughter of the moon as well? I won't be able to forget it, nor will I be able to go back to being a simple human being. Everything that I know about myself is broken; now I need to move forward and try at least. I need to change; I need to evolve. But to be honest, I do not think that anything is working.As I sit here alone in this empty room, surrounded by silence and stillness, I feel nothing but loneliness. The walls are bare, the air is cold, and I can feel the emptiness of the space weighing heavily on me. It's a stark contrast to the warmth and chaos of the outside world, but I need this solitude to focus on my emotions and int
Moonlit Pages Chapter 32: Sacro
"You successfully made the dry leaves fall from the tree, Rena; that's a great sign that you could make something happen; you just have to believe in it and really want it to come true." Galen stomped on the crunchy brown leaves on the ground, feeling satisfied every time that they made a sound under his feet. "Now that I kind of feel hurt, I can now confirm that you really must have wanted me to get pooped on by those birds. What have I done to you?""That's for the nonstop teasing, Galen," she responded with a giggle. "Imagine if I wished for something else to hit you on the head? What if it was this whole tree? That is going to cause you a lot more, doesn't it?""I told you to stop spurting out things like that, Rena; I am slowly getting more and more terrified by your words.""It's fine; you are immortal anyway.""I don't age; I won't be killed if my heart stops; I will regenerate my health like a freaking game character; you are right. However, if my whole body is crushed, my blo
Moonlit Pages Chapter 33: Plans
"What do you plan to do next?" Zoren asked Galen as he watched his loyal follower apply something to his face. Galen just shrugged, not giving him any certain answer. Zoren sat back, his arms crossed.There is nothing that could interfere with them now since Galen has successfully pulled Zoren into his own office. It was very difficult for him to do so earlier since Zoren wouldn't go anywhere without getting a glimpse of where Verena was. He always had to know what she was doing, what was going on in her mind, and if she was fine. Even though the woman was casually sitting in the living room, Zoren was there to monitor her in case something bad happened to her. Perhaps it was his own problem. Struggling to accept the fact that within three days he won't be able to do any of it for Verena. All he can do is do the most today and try not to leave any room for regrets."Are you going to stay quiet and pretend to not hear anything till the end of the day?" Zoren blurted it out. "You wanted
Moonlit Pages Chapter 34: Best
"For now, Rena has to focus on her own." Galen tossed Zoren a piece of jerky to munch on as they sat in the huge living room, watching random shows on the television. Zoren got hooked on a cooking show, and now he wants to know who would win the title in one sitting. "If you are still bored, you just have to press the buttons on this remote control a couple of times and you will be able to find something else to watch. Isn't that nice?""If you leave me alone, I think I would not have the power to stop myself from ruining her efforts and just walk right inside her room to bother her again.""I told you to stop doing that; she needs to be able to tap into her inner being, the witch inside of her that had been concealed for such a long time." Galen tossed another piece. "I told you already, didn't I? All she has to do is tap into it, accept who she is, let her feel all the power that would eventually engulf her, and get used to it by herself.""Is she able to handle all that?" His voice
Moonlit Pages Chapter 35: Seriona
Verena entered her room, feeling a bit anxious about what the magical book of witches might reveal to her. She had heard that it was incredibly powerful and that only the most skilled witches could decipher its ancient text. And although Galen and Zoren try to reaffirm that she belongs to the best of the best, she is not fully believing it. However, she was determined to try.As she opened the book, she saw the strange markings on the pages—lines and symbols that seemed to dance before her eyes. She tried to focus on the letters to make sense of the jumbled mess, but it was no use. The text was incomprehensible to her."What the hell am I supposed to see here?" she asked herself. "Is this going to work?"Frustration bubbled up in her chest. She had come all this way to study with the greatest witches of the land, and now she couldn't even read the book that was supposed to be her key to unlocking their secrets.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Then s
Moonlit Pages Chapter 36: Rain
"Are you serious? You've read that name written on the book, Rena?""I am very serious," she replied, the word determination written all over her face. "Now that I am able to read the words written on the ancient book, do you think I would be able to follow it and become a decent witch at least?""You want to be a decent witch?" Zoren was a bit taken aback by her words. "Do you really want to fully embrace it now?""I had always taken it seriously, Zoren," she said. "Even when I did not want to be a witch, I really wished I was a mere mortal. But if I could help, at least I should do my best, right? Even if I was not sure if I could handle it, at least I should try, right?""This might have been the very first time that I heard you be this enthusiastic about being a witch, Rena," Galen said. "I must admit, I am a little bit surprised that you were able to progress this fast with your abilities. I was thinking that it might take a lot longer, but look at you now.""I am just as surpris
Moonlit Pages Chapter 37: Tonight
Verena's POVI walked beside Zoren, marveling at the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of the wet market. The scent of freshly caught fish and aromatic spices filled the air, mingling with the lively chatter of vendors and customers. Colorful stalls lined the narrow pathways, displaying an array of exotic fruits, fragrant herbs, and neatly arranged vegetables.Zoren seemed both intrigued and slightly overwhelmed by the vibrant scene unfolding before us. His sharp eyes scanned the various stalls, taking in the rich tapestry of sights and sounds. The flickering sunlight filtered through the canopy overhead, casting a warm, golden glow on everything it touched.We strolled along, occasionally stopping to admire the assortment of goods. Zoren's curiosity was infectious, and I found myself pointing out the unique local delicacies, explaining their uses, and sharing stories about the market's rich history. The merchants, with their friendly smiles and quick banter, offered samples of their of

Moonlit Pages Chapter 122: End
The sun appeared again, shining brightly, proudly showing off the light that gave the dancing flowers in the breeze more life. They swayed and played together with the colorful butterflies that kept swirling around them. The birds chirped as they rested on tree branches. The leaves joining in the fun were beautiful. It was peaceful; it was another good morning."Miss Barbara, do they really have tall houses that reach the sky?" one kid named Justin asked as he pulled on Barbara's skirt a bit. He has a flushed face, and his eyes are glowing, big, and bright while listening to the tales of their teacher about the other realm."They have it," Barbara answered, tapping Justin's head. He turned around to his classmates and gasped with them. "They call them buildings, tall buildings, but most of those buildings are used as a place where they work, not their houses.""Do you think we would be able to see one?" One girl around the age of eight to ten asked Justin. She sighed and looked down.
Moonlit Pages Chapter 121: Rest
"You already used your power too much to alter the world," Zoren whispered as he held onto Verena's wrist tightly. "You can't summon the moon; it might be your last wish.""I'll do it," she responded, not looking into his eyes. "Even if it is, I would still do it.""Verena, do you not care about yourself? We can fight; don't use your powers again!""One bullet directly to my heart and I'll be dead," Verena said coldly. "We are outnumbered; this won't work. We have to change it up a bit.""Dont go."Verena gave Zoren's hand a tight squeeze before making him let go. She walked out with her head held high. She knew that she was nearing the edge, but that did not matter. She wanted to protect Zoren, and she has one last thing to try. Luckily for her, they followed through with their side of the trade, and all the guns were on the floor. Nobody dared to move as she stood there, looking at Leo, waving the book as if he were teasing her to come closer. She hated him with all her heart, but s
Moonlit Pages Chapter 120: Tank
Bulan was in total chaos when Zoren got in. He knew that it was bad when everyone was running out of the compound without even realizing that he was there. Because of the strong earthquake that only happened inside their compound, everyone wanted to leave and save themselves. He rushed to where Verena was. It was easy enough for him to track her since her scent was powerful, especially at that moment. It was too intense, like her aura was engulfing the entire land.His feet led him to the bottom of the tallest building they have, and as he looked up, he felt chills running down his spine. He could clearly see a commotion on top, and the only thing that was clear to him right now was that Verena was fully absorbed by her powers. She was glowing and levitating as her hands were extended, focusing on the two other people there, Mira and Leo.The werewolf prince used his speed to rush up and stop Verena from whatever she was doing. Just by the feeling that he is getting, he is a hundred p
Moonlit Pages Chapter 119: Caged
"Father, don't you see? She is just pretending! She wanted to make you believe that she is someone that you can trust! Don't listen to what she is saying!""Mira, use your brain!" the old man said, while tapping his fingertips on the thick book in front of him. He sat down beside Mira as they were talking. "She gave us the cursed book. We have it; she gave it to us; do you understand that? She is using this book as her bargaining chip, and she only wanted to keep that stupid prince safe. Do you not realize how big of a deal this is?" the man laughed with his whole chest. "I did not think that she would be this weak, though. For a man, she is willing to risk everything, but for one guy, she gave up. How dumb.""It was a dumb decision; you are right," said Mira. "And that is what's making me think that she is only doing this for a different reason. I don't know, maybe this is all part of her plan to lure us into a trap or something!""She was able to go into the book, Mira; do you not u
Moonlit Pages Chapter 118: Barrier
Verena's POVI knew exactly what everyone's thoughts were the moment that I walked to the gates of Bulan. When the guards saw me, I could almost hear his brain register who I was. Crazy, it looks like I've become famous within their community since the last time we've all hung out. I am pretty sure that everyone knows who I am; perhaps they know a lot more than I do because I heard my name being said by a bunch of people who were coming out to catch a glimpse of me. There are at least two dozen girls and some guys who were watching, waiting for what I am up to, as some of the guards are still holding the gates closed before they get their leader's final decision. He ran inside, and I assume that he was asking someone higher up in the ranks to give him an order.In my vision earlier, I saw Leo and Mira rushing to us and getting to Zoren. I don't know when that was supposed to happen, but I am sure that I can change it. I was able to change the vision that I had when I dealt with Barbar
Moonlit Pages Chapter 118: Her
"I couldn't see him anywhere!" Zoren yelled as soon as he got inside the house. He brushed his hair up and stressed that no matter where he went, he would not be able to see Galen anywhere. "I swear, he was never here. If he was here, when I came back, I was sure that he would jump onto me as soon as he saw me. But ever since I came back, I never saw him. Are you sure that he is here?""I am a hundred percent positive," Verena said, wearing her thick, long black coat. "I was just with him while the eclipse showed up. I even accidentally gave him a fright when I connected with him while I was experiencing that surge of energy. I don't know where he went, but because I was not able to control my body earlier, I was not able to see him again." She bit her lower lip. Her palms felt a little hot and sweaty, and she tried to wipe them on her coat, but she knew that they'd still be damp. "I don't know if I was the one who did this to him, but do you think because of what was going on at that
Moonlit Pages Chapter 116: No
"Thank goodness, you are finally awake. I was worried that you were too drained because of what happened," Said Zoren as he patted Verena's head. He was holding her hand while the woman looked up at him, slowly blinking as if she couldn't believe her own eyes. She lifted her arm and brushed his hair with his fingertips, making her smile a little."This is the best dream ever," she whispered to herself. "I think I might have used my brain power so much that it granted me this escape," she said. She bit her lower lips and sighed. "Still, I am very grateful.""What are you talking about?" Zoren asked. Based on what he is hearing, it does not seem that Verena was the one who summoned him back, and it does not make any sense to him. Who else would have done that if it was not her? He could literally not think of a single being that would have the ability to do so. "Darling, did you not summon me?"Verena shook her head, her eyes slowly growing big, realizing that this hallucination is not
Moonlit Pages Chapter 115: Eclipse
Another day of watching the sun come out after witnessing the entire reign of the moon last night was added to Verena's list. At this rate, she won't be surprised if her body begins to cope and she suddenly turns nocturnal. Even though last night all she wanted was to sleep and get at least twelve hours of rest from her loud brain, she couldn't do it. There came a point where she wanted to use her own magic on herself, but she knew that if she started doing that, she wouldn't be able to stop herself when she wanted to escape for a much longer time. Everything that was revealed to her by Galen last night was too much for her to handle, and she won't lie; it caused a lot of doubts and worries in her heart. It was not easy for her to believe that Leo was her father. The thing is, her expectations and her dreams made it a lot more difficult.Because Verena grew up without any knowledge about her family, she was the one who filled her curiosity with her made-up stories, and although she kn
Moonlit Pages Chapter 114: Father
It's been three days since Verena stayed in a different home that Galen had prepared for her, but she was still unable to do anything. Aside from practicing what Old Fool had taught her before, there was really nothing else. She had made a few wishes here and there just to make sure that she'd be able to at least hinder Leo's movements. But aside from asking for him to stop harming innocent humans, there is nothing that she can do.Galen is not giving her anything. Whenever they meet, he always has so many reasons as to why he can't hang out with her. Even when she moved, he did not go with her. He followed later on and then left again when night came. Since she was back, all she wanted to do was sit and eat a warm meal with Galen to at least help her lessen the sadness and heaviness that she is feeling right now, but she still can't have that. Galen had told her a couple of times already that he had to be out, finding clues and figuring out another way to bring down the hunters. Some
