Moonlit Pages Chapter 64: Another
Verena went back to her old home. She was not worried if her uncle would be home; all she ever wanted was a simple thing. She left while she was hurriedly picked up and saved by her two friends. She snuck in successfully and was mainly happy at how easy it was for her to go back. She was ready to fight Nelo with her newly found talents, but it looks like she did not need any of them at all. Verena needed only one thing. And as she opened her cabinet, she was finally able to get some sort of relief."Mom," she whispered, grabbing a small picture from under her old clothes. "I am back to pick you up; I can't believe that it took me this long before I remembered to do so," she said while smiling at a very old photo of a woman who looks exactly like her, waving. "I learned a lot of things about us since I met Zoren. I wish you could have stayed for quite some time just so I can ask you all about it." She sat back on her old bed and frowned, water slowly collecting in her eyes. "You are so
Moonlit Pages Chapter 65: Blood
Verena's POVI can't feel my fingers; I think my blood circulation was cut off by the tight rope that wrapped around my wrists. My head is still pulsating, like a sharp pain jumping from left to right, going around from one nerve to another, and I think it's because of the chemical that they used when those men took me in. Who would have thought that Mira could do such a thing? If I were to look at her, I would immediately think that she is a nice woman with a very great personality. But when I talked to her earlier, I could only feel fear at how much of a change I saw. There are two sides to her, and they're very different from what I expected. There is no way that they would care for those people, and I can now confirm it.Everything is black. I can't see a single thing; I can't even say a word. They covered my eyes and my mouth so perfectly that I don't even have an idea how to escape from this. I've never felt this hopeless since I was able to use my witchcraft. But now, I do not
Moonlit Pages Chapter 66: Steak
"Come on, Verena, you must eat something; it's almost dinner time.""I am very sorry, Sir Leonardo, but I don't think I can eat right now." Verena tried to politely turn down the steak right in front of her while giving the man a slight smile on her face. "After being tied up and literally kidnapped, I don't think having a meal with you is a great idea. Why am I in this position?""Well, I apologize for what Mira did to you. I am very sorry for the huge misunderstanding. Mira is just a bit too excited to fulfill her mission, I guess." He grinned and cut up a small chunk of meat. "I am aware that this is not a great start to our conversation, but I want to tell you that this is actually not our plan at all. You are here because we need you.""You need me. That is why you made me fear for my life.""It was my fault, alright? How many times do I have to repeat my apology so you can understand?"Verena raised her brow at how Mira spoke from behind the back of the kitchen as she grabbed a
Moonlit Pages Chapter 67: Advice
Verena's POVI need to get out of here as soon as possible. No matter how hard I tried to find ways of getting out, I don't think I could do it so easily. I can't use my powers to leave since they would immediately confirm that I am a witch. They shouldn't see that; it would only give them more information that could possibly leave Zoren in danger. I should save him. After everything that I heard from them, I know now that Zoren is on their list because they need his blood for power. Now I wonder: did the same thing happen before? Is this the reason why Seriona had to get the two beings apart?It doesn't really matter. Who started it? Were the humans at fault? Fudge, I don't think I can handle it all. My brain is not ready to process such information at this point. I should at least try to be more believable with my act. Even though he's listening to me, I don't think he really wants to send me back that easily. I need to come back home and alert Zoren and Galen. I have to make sure t
Moonlit Pages Chapter 68: Tied
"What the hell is this, Galen?" Zoren crossed his arms as he sat back. He looked up to the moon and whispered, "Was this her idea? I don’t think she remembered. What could be taking her so long?""I can actually tell you one thing," Galen said, pushing a tray of snacks over to him. "I don’t think this is her plan. She might have been late because of something else.""Why don’t you contact her? It’s taking her a long time to come home; I don’t think she should be out there this late.""It’s eleven," Galen replied. "You already told me once that she can handle herself because of her powers. Why are you scared about her being out this late?""I don’t want to hear any of your attitude.""Well, I can't handle that," he said. "I want to promise you that I can stop it, because I know well enough that I can't stop my mouth from talking." Galen rolled his eyes and looked at Zoren, who was clearly waiting for Verena to come back home. "If you are worried about her, we can try to go out and look
Moonlit Pages Chapter 69: Held
"Verena!" His voice echoed throughout the entire convenience store. The only person inside the store was the cashier. And based on the surprised look on his face, Zoren was definitely loud. No matter how strange he might look, he did not care. He ran straight to the woman by the table, sitting with her head bowed down."What the hell happened here?" he asked. Looking at the man behind the counter, he raised his brow. "Who sent her here? Do you know?""Sir?""Who took this girl here? Look at her; she's completely out of it."The employee shrugged. "She was with her friend," he said. "She said that someone would pick her up and asked me to keep her company since she needed to be somewhere.""A friend?" Zoren was not convinced by the explanation, but he needs to get her home immediately. Instead of asking for more information, he decided to focus on her. "Woman, are you alright? Can you hear me?"Her eyes slowly opened. His heart ached at how she looked at him. She looked extremely sleep
Moonlit Pages Chapter 70: Soft
The soft and tender brushing of Zoren’s finger on Verena’s cheek woke her up. In the middle of the night, she woke up, and her eyes slowly opened up to take a glance at the tender eyes that had watched over her the entire time. Even in this form, with the fangs that are showing, the long nails that he kept hiding, and the sharp-looking eyes, Verena can clearly tell how worried the man is for her."Zoren," she whispered. "You look pretty," she said."Pretty?" His laugh sounded more like a growl. Verena gasped a bit, hearing how his already low voice could go even lower."Wow, you sound like you have a voice effect," she said, still looking at his long hair. "Long hair suits you.""It will go back to normal later," he said. "I just need to calm down a bit.""Don't be mad." Verena lifted up her arm to touch his cheek, but seeing how red her wrist was, she regretted it. "Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all. It’s nothing, you know? I am strong.""Strong?" He rolled his eyes. "You could hav
Moonlit Pages Chapter 71: Nightmare
"What are you doing, Zoren? It's too early to burn down the entire kitchen." Galen rushed towards the stove to turn it off and grabbed a lid to cover the pan. "I swear, you have a ton of talents developing too quickly all at once. You really poured a tone of smokey flavor in that omellete, huh?"Zoren rolled his eyes as Galen chuckled. He walked towards the sink to grab a bowl of scrambled eggs with bits of white stuff in them."I don't know why this fire is not listening to me. I tried so many times, but the egg kept on turning brown, and it has this weird scent that I never see in Verena's cooking.""Let me tell you, if you really want to make her feel special this morning, let's just order delivery, alright?" He tapped Zoren's back and smiled at him. "She won't be able to munch on those egg shells, man. She's going to be bothered each time. And I don't know if that's added protein, but she would not like it, I promise you.""Whatever, order something if you really think that this i

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
