Moonlit Pages Chapter 41: Projection
"At this point, I think that your best option is to be with someone who will understand what you are going through and be very aware of the things that you need." Galen watched as a man wept in a cafe. He was great at investigating. As soon as he was sure of the place and got the church's address down, he rushed to the nearest cafe near it. Just a few blocks away, he found a group of women roaming around with flyers in their hands."If I did not hear correctly, I would definitely think that this is a cafe that is specifically for blind dates," he whispered to himself, looking around. Every table was occupied by a man and a woman. But it was quite obvious: those girls want nothing but the guys to join their cult. "Why are they crying, though?" he asked himself. "Emotional manipulation?""No, I feel that, sincerely." Galen's attention was caught as another woman in her mid-twenties spoke at the other table. "Work is very tiring, and it's not easy to manage everything all at once! But yo
Moonlit Pages Chapter 42: Condition
Verena woke up early in the morning. It was very peaceful, quiet, and lonely. She took a deep breath, sighed, then shook her head. Everything really happened; it was all real and true. When she turned to check on her phone, just seeing how its battery was depleted confirmed her thoughts. She was able to sleep peacefully without waking up for the entire day. Twenty-four hours that she escaped from successfully. She stood up to charge her phone, thinking that there might be something important to see. Then she walked over to her closet. The view of her clothes next to some suits that would literally bury her if she ever tried them on made her look down in sadness. It has been a whole day. She was supposed to wake up well rested and safe from that strange feeling in her heart, but she was being dragged back to it again. Like normal, she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and used her favorite soft cloth to pat her face down. But through the entire process, it did not escape her sight.
Moonlit Pages Chapter 43: Here
"Yeah, I have already done what you told me to do," Galen said, looking up at Verena as she stood outside the car, waiting for him to confirm everything. Verena was wearing something different. She is wearing her new pink suit that Galen specifically bought for her to wear just so she could match Zoren's energy. She looks so dangerous with it, like a powerful businesswoman, ready to fire her employee for messing up a simple task and never feeling guilt right after. That was the thing that Galen told her as soon as she got out of her taxi ride. It was obvious that he meant she was looking beautiful and powerful in it, but she did not even spare to give him a smile."That should be good," she responded. "I looked up the church that you were referring to, and I saw that they are going to have a mass today.""Yeah, around thirty minutes later," he replied. "Is that your plan?""I think that's the best that I can do," she said. "To make things easier, you can come in with your magical soul
Moonlit Pages Chapter 44: Mass
Verena's POVTo pretend as if life is tough and that I need somebody to be my rock is somehow very easy for me. Perhaps it was because I was actually feeling those same emotions right now. However, I did not expect that the way Mira spoke to me would hit me. It wasn't easy to escape the comfort that her warm words were giving me. Maybe that's the sole reason she's so effective at her job. I wish I could tell her that what she's doing is very helpful to those who are in need of it, but I am scared to encourage her behavior. For a second, a thought came to mind. What would happen if I actually found this cult to be the best place for me right now? It seems like her persuasive words are getting into me. Even though I did not mean to, I am slowly trusting in her words. Who wouldn't want to believe that there is a better life waiting for me right here?It was a little interesting and a bit inviting, but everything went down the drain as soon as the mass began. Why the hell are they calling
Moonlit Pages Chapter 45: Discover
"Galen, could you tell me something?" Verena sounded so serious that Galen had to stop licking the yogurt lid and look up at her as she stood in front of the television. She was blocking his favorite cartoon, but he can't complain since her eyes were screaming threats, and he's a little bit worried about what she could do to him."What do you need, Rena?" he asked. "Is there something bothering you or something?""Remember when you first met me and Zoren?""Of course I do remember," he replied with a huge smile on his face, reminiscing about how their journey together all started. "I was a little bit intimidated by the two of you since day one, to be honest. Who would have thought that my guts were right? I am always the butt of the joke with you two." When he realized that she did not laugh at his joke, he immediately retracted it. "But of course, I do not mind! The two of you are like family to me now. I do not care whatever you say—except your wishes! I won't accept any mean wishes
Moonlit Pages Chapter 46: Search
The world was in chaos. Creatures overpowering other creatures, and people dying at the hands of those they couldn't fight. Monsters are born to grow up and harm those who are weaker and much less capable. Those who swore protection and help to those in need turned their backs and made the ones they promised to prioritize suffer.The king, who was once the most loving, turned into a beast that he tried to hide for years. In a heartbeat, he was the one at the top of the pyramid, making those below him beg and weep in blood. It was a gruesome scene that nobody wishes to happen again. Never in a million years.Humans were almost eradicated. Their race almost did not make it. Luckily, someone made a move before it was too late. Seriona, the daughter of the moon and a witch who mediates between all creatures, evil or not, decided to separate the two worlds. The werewolves were punished for staying inside Lunaria and starting everything from the beginning. They needed to learn how to start
Moonlit Pages Chapter 47: Back
Galen is still in shock as he follows the man who walks with so much power right in front of him. It's as if every step of Zoren emits such force. He looks like he is ready to ruin a whole city just to see Verena as soon as possible. Zoren grunted as he walked straight into Verena's house. But as soon as they were near the house, he stopped. Galen paused, waiting for what he was up to, still a little bit confused and worried as to what he might do if they found Verena in a bad state or if they did not find her at all."She is not here," he announced. Zoren formed his fists into a ball and growled as he turned to face Galen. His face turned completely pale when Zoren's eyes landed on him. "I told you to protect her and make sure that she is safe; this is what you do?" he yelled. "I really thought that I could trust you; I left her in your hands, and this is how you do it? What the hell, Galen?""I swear, I was protecting her," he replied. "I did not think that she was away; I never hea
Moonlit Pages Chapter 48: Uncomfortable
Verena's POVFor some reason, I feel weird. I know that I want to jump, I want to yell at the top of my lungs, and I want to celebrate that I could see him again. I could feel his arm wrap around me again. I spent countless hours weeping and crying at him being gone. But now, here he is, right beside me. Giggling, and eating together with us. I made him his favorite orange eggs and gave him a plate with extra melted cheese since he loves it so much. Although it's nighttime, he ate breakfast with so much joy in his eyes as Galen and I slurped on some instant noodles.It felt unreal. Seeing him smile and tap on my leg every now and then. I watched him and Galen talk about a lot of things while I sat back. I was not able to give any input as I was still out of it. I do not know why I am feeling like this. I shouldn't, right? But why do I feel guilty that I am not able to be the happiest version of myself?I could see it in Zoren's eyes; he looks at me with a very genuine sense of happine

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

"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

"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
