Moonlit Pages Chapter 10: Galen
Zoren looked down on his hand, feeling a bit numb at how hard Verena was clenching it. At any moment, he has a strange guess that the tips of his fingers would turn blue, but he can't really tell the woman to leave him alone or let go of him since she's clearly scared and confused by how a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere in her eyes."Are you sure that you saw someone?" he asked. The way she nodded so quickly made him believe how serious she was. "Then what happened?"Verena looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean?" she asked."What happened to the guy that you saw?"Verena grabbed his whole arm, scared to her core. "Nothing happened to him, Zoren, nothing!""Where did he go then?""He..." Verena hid her entire face behind him and pointed at the bench. "He is still there, sitting and watching us! What do you mean?"Zoren looked back at her with a ton of questions about to pop out of his brain, but he could tell, based on her breathing and the sound of her heart beating, t
Moonlit Pages Chapter 11: Offer
"You can stop looking at me like you just saw a talking worm," Galen said with a huge, youthful smile on his face, looking at Verena. "What's so confusing and unbelievable about me when you have the future king of a different world sitting right beside you?" he added while taking a sip of his iced tea.He then grabbed his fork and knife to obliterate the thick steak that was sitting on his plate. He intended to treat the two to a nice meal for lunch with hopes of being able to get to know them better, especially since he really wants to be close with Zoren."You heard the guy; go ahead and eat," Zoren said, tapping Verena's knee. She hasn't given Zoren's arm back since they met up with Galen. She desperately hugged his arm to make sure that he wouldn't be able to leave her alone with the scary, cursed spirit. "He's treating us to such a nice meal, woman, don't let it go to waste.""I-" Verena struggled to speak. "I don't think that I'll be able to digest.""Don't worry about me," said
Moonlit Pages Chapter 12: Moon
"Isn't this awkward?" Galen asked as Verena continued to try her best, acting as if she couldn't hear or feel his presence when the two of them had been standing side by side for the past ten minutes. "You can talk to me; I won't harm you. You know that, right?"The two of them have spent time together, roaming around the mall. The guys were able to convince Verena to take a day off and use their time to buy what Zoren needs at the mall. The first thing that the prince wanted was a new set of clothes, and of course, as his follower, Galen couldn't reject him. All they had to do was drive to the nearest mall and grab all the expensive-looking stuff off the mannequins, and Zoren would be happy. He did not like the number of people walking near him still, but he appreciated the classy and fresh-smelling clothes."Verena, you can talk to me; he won't hear you from here," Galen whispered. "I saw his fitting room; there is a really loud speaker behind it. I think he won't be able to hear an
Moonlit Pages Chapter 13: Envy
"Zoren, you don't have to buy clothes for me as well," Verena pushed away his hand, holding up a beautiful periwinkle dress that looked like it would suit a woman in the top 0.1% of the social status. "Do you not see how much this costs? I would need to work without a break for at least nine months before I could afford that. I wouldn't dare wear it.""You won't need to pay for it; Galen is here to do that.""I would be paying, that's right.""Still," Verena sighed. The two kept pressing on her, trying to make her pick anything so that Galen would pay for something, but she would do the most just to avoid paying and save the old, young man some pennies. "I really can't make you spend that much money," she said. "I don't want you to give your hard-earned money to someone like me. First of all, I do not deserve it, and second, I am not going to be happy if I receive it. I would just feel burdened and guilty."Zoren sighed. He rolled his eyes as he placed the dress back on the rack. Perh
Moonlit Pages Chapter 14: Afraid
Verena grabbed the last box of freshly picked apples with all her power to get them inside her house. She had to use her whole body and power to grab everything she could in order to get all the delivered goods in her house into her kitchen. Looking at everything that she had arranged on the small table, she sighed."When am I going to finish all these?" she asked. "I don't have that much appetite; I'm not going to finish this even after three weeks." She sighed as she looked back once more. "I can't even get these into the fridge!"Verena looked at her whole house. The kitchen was filled with so many groceries that they wouldn't even stay on the cabinets and shelves. She cad to put the one sack of onions by the broom and the one sack of potatoes next to her fridge. Beside that, she has three more sacks filled with rice, garlic, and flour. Whatever she can think of, Verena is sure that she has it all. She never expected that she would have five kilos of sugar and salt in her pantry. B
Moonlit Pages Chapter 15: Orange
"Yes, now I can see you!" Galen said over the phone as he stared at Zoren's nose through the video call. "Move your hand away from your face so I can see you clearly.""If I move it, will you still hear me?""He will," Verena responded. She pulled Zoren's phone away from his ear and pointed at a button. "Take a look at this; when this button is pressed, the phone call will sound louder." She did as she explained and called Galen. "Galen, talk.""Hello, hello!""This is too loud for my liking; I don't want to hear his teenage voice that loud again.""That's mean, you know."The woman laughed as she sat beside Zoren. "Sadly, you have to do this since I won't be able to hear Galen talk. I don't have the same ears as you do.""You must be thankful for that," Zoren whispered to her. "You would hate to hear this guy sing at the top of his lungs all day.""I wasn't even trying to sing loudly!" Galen tried to defend himself. "And I actually thought that I was good at it, if I am being honest.
Moonlit Pages Chapter 16: Carnival
"I know that I told you about wanting to know more of this world, Galen, but what the hell am I doing in a place like this?"Zoren's eyes were fixed on the huge Ferris wheel decorated with glowing lights, which was spinning nonstop. It's making him feel things, mostly bad things. It kept on making him want to throw up for some reason, and he hated it."Hey, don't be weird," Galen said, pouting. "Within my years of being here, this is my most favorite spot. The carnival!""This is nothing but torture; are you kidding me?" The werewolf scoffed. "I could barely hear my own thoughts; my ears are ringing! I can't pinpoint what it is that I am smelling; everything is mixing with everything else! Look at how many people are here; I can avoid all of them!""Of course, this is a carnival, Zoren; people come here to have fun!""It's not looking so fun.""It will be fun soon, so don't worry."They continued to walk; Zoran was forced, but it was all good since Galen skipped on his every step and
Moonlit Pages Chapter 17: Madam
It took Verena everything to try and bring Zoren out of the tent and leave the show. She could tell he was fuming. Just by the way he clenched his fists, it was intense. Verena kept softly talking him out of it, but he did not stop thinking about turning into his other form. Galen was straight-up scared. He knew what a real werewolf could do and how hot-tempered they could get, especially his former master. And Zoren, being the son of the most powerful being he knew, found it terrifying.However, seeing how he still kept it together, he was a bit surprised. He could tell that even though Zoren won't admit it, Verena is playing a huge role in his behavior. Whenever she wants to do something, even though he hates it, he will try to like it and do it with her. When she hates something, he will try his best to stop it from harming her. Now, even though the murderous look in his eyes was present, Galen could tell that he wouldn't be able to do anything."Zoren, it's fine," she whispered so

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
