CHAPTER THREE

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-19 08:26:59

The sound of the breeze swept the entire atmosphere of Arleta, echoing and ringing continuously in our ears, until it woke both of us up, at the same time. 

Arleta could contain a vast number of beings, but would harm or disturb whoever wouldn't adapt to the cold, snowy and entirely strange nature of the land. 

I yawned and realised my hands had been on Angus's chest, all through the night. I began to wonder if he had demanded love from me last night. 

Angus acted as a friend. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. I could see the way he had been treating me, treating me as his sister. But, I wasn't comfortable yet. 

"Huh!" I sighed, taking my hands off. I smiled at him and received the same smile. 

"Ellie?" Angus called, his voice enamoring me, but I wouldn't just give in easily. "Have you recalled what you did last night?" 

"What's that?" I asked him, my hands raised up to my lips as I tried to hold a yawn. 

"You kept mute for a long while…" Angus answered me and continued, "I almost thought you were thinking about some injury on your body." 

"Oh!" I exclaimed, as I forced myself to say the truth. I was still troubled, even though I had slept over the memories of my hurtful past. The thoughts still kept hovering over the borders of my heart, and wouldn't stop reverberating. I didn't know he brought it up again. 

Indeed Angus, could sense my feelings about my past. He seemed to expect me to have started asking him more questions about himself, which would make him think I really desired him. And, as he would always do whenever he fished something, he snapped. I didn't know all about him. 

"Ang…?" I called.

"Call me Angus." Angus demanded, spreading his arms as he stood up.

Suddenly, Angus approached me and embraced me, and I felt the cold touch of his hands. "Do you know you have to cheer up. I have promised to kill your past and effect your future…" 

"Yeah…" I said, trying to take his hands off. "I guess I'm not in for this, Angus."

"Why not?" Angus questioned. "Don't you trust me?" 

"I don't know all about you." I revealed, my voice soft anyway. 

His first words really re-echoed in my ears, making me interrupt, "I notice you saying you can kill my past. Do you know my past, and how much can you erase from it in my heart?" 

"Haha…" Angus laughed, and returned his chin to the normal shape again. "I have a wolfish eyes." 

"Wolfish?" I asked, my hands supporting my jaws very firmly, an expression of a deeper interest in his words. 

"Yes," Angus returned. "I know how it all happened." 

That amazed me. I pushed my brows forwards very softly, but rapidly to express my amazement. "How did it happened…? Were you by any chance one of those who…" 

"Huh?" Angus reverted, quickly. 

"Tell me everything." I demanded, my voice swallowing his. 

"Who did what?" Angus questioned me back, his words rushing out speedily and at length. "There was a ferocious and heartless pack that still lives up to this time. The Alpha of the pack wanted to recruit me as one of their members, by bribing me with a beautiful woman for me to marry, then…" 

Immediately I heard the marriage plan earlier, I knew Angus wasn't a small man. He was experienced as well, and I could know from the way he spoke with me. But, my mind also traced that to his spiritual powers, rather than what he could do on his own. 

"Continue, Angus…" I requested, my eyes brightening at his face. I began to blink my eyes, as the fragments of his words hit my ears. 

"The Alpha told me all the packs in Arleta wanted to enthrone a woman as Queen, and that…" Angus explained, adjusting as he laid his hands on my bare laps. "I mean, anyone that would be her mate must go through the attacks of the dark forest. There was a muddy area which was very dark, watery and dangerous to inhabit, but whoever must take that future luna as a wife must pass through the forest, and must not die." 

"Could anyone escape death in such a dangerous land?" I questioned, my lips joined together as my teeth stood stiff, an expression of my aggressive willingness to leave Arleta. "I cannot wait to leave here." 

"Almost impossible." Angus said.

"To leave Arleta or what?" I asked him bluntly, turning my eyes away. 

"No, I mean escaping death…" Angus explained. "Like you just said."

"Impossible!" I objected, and smiled broadly. "How is it possible? I am sure bloodthirsty wolves must be there, who cannot but pounce on whichever prey they see." 

"True." Angus assented. "Don't take this as just a story. I could tell you who lived in that forest for years and still keeps living till now."

"I love your pranks." I remarked on his rather unbelievable words. "But, I don't understand you yet." 

"They aren't pranks, baby." Angus retorted with a low voice. "They are a real life secret. And, why can't you understand me?"

"I don't know." I said, folding my arms together. 

"Well, I know a lot about this forest. I have been living here for years, that's all I can say about me." Angus expatiated, his both eyes fixed on my face. "Arleta's dark regions are all alive." 

"Does that mean that dangerous land is still in existence?" I asked, my voice breaking as I expected him to say no.

"It is." Angus replied. "Even more vastly, the wolves are increasing every day, birthing and nursing their betas, and training them to be attackers." 

"Ah!" I interjected. "Why are they interested in just attacking people?" 

"They claim to be serving the forest goddess." Angus revealed, lowering his voice, as if he was keeping it secret. 

"And, why would the goddess be after humans?" I questioned. 

"It's a long story, Ellie…" Angus explained. "When the forest goddess was first living as a Queen Luna of the pack, she made a demand of a mate as her husband, but no one was willing to fill in in that space. So, she became furious and committed suicide, vowing to ruin families who possibly would have issued out a man for her, while she was alive." 

"Pathetic!" I retorted. "I wonder how my family got entangled in her web, anyways and it pains me to the bottom of my heart." 

"Hmm…" Angus reacted, slowly approaching me. I guessed he sensed the strange frown on my face. "What's really wrong, Ellie?" 

"Arleta wouldn't be enough to contain those painful secret when spilled out." I let out, breathing softly. "I will never agree if anyone tells me to remain in Arleta for the next three months." 

"Oh!" Angus retorted. "Do you have a plan?" 

"What if?" I answered, questioning him back. "What if I just meet myself in another world?" 

"It happens." Angus said.

"Really?" I asked, already intrigued by his suiting response. "I would love to leave Arleta." 

"You want to be free from the forest goddess?" Angus asked me. 

"Not only her." I replied, my lips spreading in unease. "I can't help staying in a dangerous and harmful land. I cannot stand the teeth of the threatening wolves, as well."

"You have a point though." Angus commented. "I wouldn't stand against your dreams." 

"Dreams?" I returned. "No, they are my plan. I will leave and start another life, elsewhere, wherever I appear." 

"I would like to depart with you, though." Angus said, his voice sounding lovely in my ears. 

"Why not?" I said, as I faced the wall and sneezed. "Sorry, I don't know what will happen later." 

"What if I was sent to you?" Angus asked, leaving my mouth opened agape.

    "It's dark here!" I exclaimed, rising up from my bed. I first thought it was only a dream I had been having. It was a darker day, partially bright. As usual, the entire land of Arleta covered almost dark places only. It was believed that there was a powerful moon which controlled the land and always empowered the enemy wolves. I walked out of my room, trying to go and check on Angus. My footsteps sounded very loudly that I stopped and looked back. I didn't feel free with him yet, but I was often pained when I was alone. Why would my mother's situation keep ringing in my ears? "Anyone?" I asked, keeping mute after that. I first thought Angus was the one intentionally chasing me. I knew he loved playing with me in such a way. Suddenly, I heard footsteps other than mine. I knew too well that it wasn't mine. But, it also didn't sound like a strong man's footsteps like Angus's, because Angus wouldn't want to scare me by stomping the ground and pursuing me. I ran, as I kept on gasping

    "Future Luna?" I heard right by my windowside and rushed to shut my door. I always slept in fear and uncertainty, and I couldn't feel like I was really living. Was that a voice or just a recall? I never knew who the future Luna could be. Until my heart began to harbour those thoughts I had, after discussing with Angus, I was willing to meet the lady, called that name. The Alpha's words shocked me while I was hiding by that tree's side. I could remember he called me the future Luna, but I didn't look like what he had described, though. "Ellie?" The voice called. Quickly, I recognised the voice to be Angus's, but I remained in bed. "Please, open." The voice called again. Perhaps I could ask Angus and understand what my future really held, I couldn't decide, yet. If I was to be more careful, Angus could possibly let me know. I walked to open the door for him and fortunately for me, it wasn't anyone but him. It wasn't a wolf as I dreaded within seconds. Angus had safely returned,

    In the wake of a glistening morning, as the sun cast mild warmth on the mountain ranges. A sudden rattling noise was heard, nearly shaking the ground. The trees were moving around as their branches kept dwindling in the loose atmosphere, affrighting me. I was attracted to standing up. I couldn't remember if I was deep asleep or not. The noise was enough to jab me on my arms and wake me up. Slowly and slightly, I opened the window to see outside. "Huh?" I sighed, my voice rapidly stepped down by the overwhelming noise. It had been months now. My eyes were sore and wet from the tears that wiped my chin, the day before. Angus had left me for a very long time and wouldn't even try to reach me. I had been left alone again. Who would I call? I wondered how I would survive the aggravated situation. Instantly, as I was down in thoughts, unseen wolves began to snarl very loudly. I shut the window back, held the ring Angus gave to me as an amulet, before leaving. I threw it round my neck w

    My eyes blinked as I woke up. I didn't know when I slept off. I realised I had been in bed for a while. Immediately, I sat up and saw Alpha Thane still asleep, snoring hard beside me. "Young woman?" a voice called out behind me, making me turn my face towards that direction. "Who's there?" I questioned, the intensity of my voice echoing in my ears and tapping the Alpha. I discovered Alpha Thane was shaking and turning to my side. Soon, he was pushing his hands forward to reach me, trying to grab me. I didn't know what he was up to. "Huh…" his voice lowered, and his snore reduced, giving way for the strange voice to keep reverberating."Who?" I reiterated, glueing myself to the wall as I held a pillow onto my face. Literally, the groaning of wolves started to surface the atmosphere, not leaving the space of my room out. I wondered where my courage had gone as I stood stiff, uncontrollably shivering. As soon as I sighed, Alpha Thane opened his eyes and winked. He slowly drew his mou

    Time elapsed the moment of my situation, and it was like the entire space of Arleta only existed at a glance. The full moon appeared, casting a dark cloud around me that I couldn't even understand where I was. My eyes blinked as I stood up and I felt someone sleep beside me, turning and rubbing me hard. I wiped my face with a towel and discovered it was Angus. "Angus?" I called out his name, my voice coming out with pauseless breaths. "How did you get here?" "I was all around you all these days…" Angus replied, holding me by my palms as he felt the pulse. "Why are you so bothered? Were you scolded by any wolf?" I noticed Angus's curiosity. I would only hurt myself if I didn't answer him. I returned, my voice intentionally lowered, "I was haunted by many of them. Even Thane…" "Alpha Thane?" Angus questioned, his hands dropping by his sides in wonder. "That brutal wolf came to meet you?" "Angus…" I said, breathing pitifully. "I wonder why you left me trying to escape from that bru

    Two months later, having spent a number of moments in the southern part of Arleta, a dangerous zone in Scotland. I discovered I had been destined to be wild, seeing that the place was dark and dreadful like a forest. I had been accustomed to a den but I wasn't that hurt by anything of the aura. How I had survived those times was a wonder, dangling in my heart as I looked up to the sky on a certain snowy day. It was a change of atmosphere and I came out of my new abode, trying to spy the sudden event.Suddenly, the wolf in me started to come out, as the full moon appeared very slowly, spilling thicker darkness in the clouds and turning the underneath houses obscure. I began to shift, my memory rustling in my head. In a twinkling of an eye, some deadly wolves added to the noise of the wind, groaning repeatedly as they followed me. I was surprised at their numbers and the way they were walking towards my side. "Grrhh!" They kept groaning. Immediately I realised my nerves weren't s

    The clouds retired into the sky, folding up and wrapping the day up. I was outside my new apartment, hoping I would find someone to play or speak with. I was disturbed even by the splashing waters of the sea, almost drowning the bank where I was, looking here and there. It was a delicate time of my life, where I needed Angus the most. "Ahhh…" I made a sound, breathing hard as I placed my hands by my waist, concerned about my lonely state. Before I knew it, I heard a noise from behind, attracting me without a rethink. I had to look back, but to my amazement, I didn't see anyone or anything. I wondered. "Who are you?" I asked, turning around as my words only fled into the air. "Come out, whoever is there!" "Ellie!" The voice returned, but I didn't still see anyone. I was curious and so eager to move closer. I could imagine myself in a haven, if it was Angus. "I am responding…" I replied, my voice lowered in pity and uncertainty. "Is that you, Angus?" "Yes!" The voice replied, so

    The sky rustled, coming with thunder and lightning, as its colour reflected in the room, where I was laid down. Angus had woken me up instantly, tapping my buttocks. Angus's hands were already softened and smooth. I didn't need to open my eyes too widely before I saw the way his body had been healed up, very clearly and permanently. "Angus!" I called out his name, my voice coming with a heavenly smile. "Your hands are…" "Surprised?" Angus retorted, returning the smile as he lifted me up. I was already exhausted that I needed that. My eyes quickly ran through Angus's face, capturing his physique and handsomeness. It was as if he was reborn. I couldn't take my eyes off him, because of his outstanding attractiveness. I was quiet. But, when I noticed him packing some loads together. I forced his hand onto mine and asked him, "Angus, where are we going?""Didn't you hear the sudden blast of the thunder?" Angus snapped. "Are you cool with the weather right now, Ellie?" "I can't say."

    CHAPTER 76 It was the first day of the full dark moon and I realised it was just counting. The moment meant for the war with strange beasts and we, the wolves had just started. I was seated with Angus, my wolf mate and what he could only do was caress me. "Angus!" I calmed him down, looking at him closely. "Why aren't you concerned about what might suddenly happen?" "When I am horny?" Angus reacted strangely, rolling his tongue lustfully. "I shouldn't be any concerned, my love.” "Angus, this isn't the time for your lustful desires!" I retorted, pushing him away gently. "We have a war to prepare for, lives to protect!" He chuckled, his golden eyes gleaming in the dim light of our den. "And what better way to protect lives than to ensure the continuation of our pack, my Luna?" He reached for me again, but I stood up, my patience wearing thin. "Angus, be serious!" I growled, my wolf instincts rising to the surface. "The dark moon brings out the worst in those creatures. We need

    The following day was sweet, as well. But, I felt no change in my body. My wolf didn't come out of my body. I wondered but the feeling of sleeping with Angus, my husband that night was too sweet. Angus reached me, as if knowing each of my thoughts. "Are you ready for an outing in Arleta. Shall we go to a nearby bar?""Hmm, what of Eric, your friend?" I asked, concerned."No." Angus objected. "He can't be with us, seeing our tools. I will fuck you right there too.""Okay." I replied, firmly agreed to Angus as I kept staring at him. "I want doggy..." I purred, rubbing my body against his, feeling the familiar heat rise within me. He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that vibrated through my core. "As you wish, my love. But first, let's have a drink, shall we?" He took my hand, his touch sending shivers down my spine. The anticipation was almost unbearable. I knew that tonight, under the Arletan sky, with the taste of alcohol on our lips, we would unleash a passion that would leave us bre

    "I don't see you," I said, my heart pounding in my chest. "This isn't funny, Angus."A low growl reverberated through the air, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. It wasn't Angus's voice, and it definitely wasn't human. The sound seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to locate its source. Panic began to set in, and I spun around, desperately trying to find something familiar in the shifting shadows.Then I saw it. A pair of glowing eyes, burning like embers in the darkness. They were fixed on me, and I felt a primal fear grip me, paralyzing me in place. The growling intensified, and a dark shape began to emerge from the trees. It was large, muscular, and covered in thick fur. Its teeth were bared in a menacing snarl, and its eyes held a wild, predatory gleam. This was no ordinary animal. This was something else entirely. Something terrifying."Angus?" I whispered again, but I already knew it wasn't him. This creature, whatever it was, had taken his pl

    At a nearby restaurant called Klingon bar, where Angus usually visited since we got here, in order to have some fun, and take his mind off worries, he stood and watched around, hoping he would meet Mr. Kenneth, who was his new adviser. As usual, I was around him to ensure he was doing well and nothing bothered him much. I stayed with Sarah, his friend at the bar. It had been two hours, Angus hadn't even heard of the man. Several peeping through his window didn't work, especially when he found out from Sarah that the man had travelled for a tour. Angus yawned. Sarah offered him a chair as usual, but not with any soft drink. He called her, talking to her as if he was joking. "Sarah! Won't you offer me a drink at least? I trust you for the delicious… orange juice." "Hmm…" Sarah returned, her response conveying the same thought as Angus's. "I think we have a small extra here, I'll be back soon." She entered to get one cup for him and arrived so quickly with a straw neatly pierced in i

    It was a snowy day. Nothing happened yet. Suddenly, Angus's voice broke the silence. I was in the study room, overhearing Angus's complaints. "God!" Angus howled, not speaking to anybody, but to himself. "It's high time I found a job in this strange land. Why should everything be unclear?” "Perhaps New Hawkshire wasn't meant for you…" Mr. Cooper retorted, as he appeared suddenly from the dining room. "Oh, you are here, sir…" Angus whimpered, almost bowing. “What's the meaning of that?” "Keep it right there." Mr. Cooper reverted, his mind clearly rejecting Angus's greeting, and angry, because of the words he heard him say earlier. "Are you reporting me to God, or what? Whatever…! Just make sure you secure a job, and shamelessly make your own money, at least for once…" "Money?!" Angus interrupted him, almost rudely. He was getting frustrated and at that particular time, I walked in. "Dad, what's wrong again?" I questioned Mr. Cooper, who played the role of my father due to his w

    Since we found ourselves in another land, we weren't settled yet. What bothered everyone mostly was the war.Angus sighed, waking up to the usually dull atmosphere, his mouth effusing cold breath as of an idle person. He didn't have any work to do, not even a reasonable duty. "Hi, Mr. Cooper!" He greeted the man he called his father-in-law, who had accommodated him in a family house. "Hope you slept well, Angus?" Mr. Cooper returned, closing and opening his eyes intermittently to shake off some dust off his face. "Yes, sir." Angus answered, hoping to escape and go outside to perhaps walk around. He feared Mr. Cooper's threat, especially whenever he was angry and was pointing at him, hurling potent words at him. "Come over…" Mr. Cooper interposed, not letting Angus move a step. "Have you ever seen the person you love today? Let me start from there." "Oh, sincerely…" Angus replied, trying to snub the right response. "But, she hasn't woken up. Lily often wakes up late, these days, s

    There was no other perfect way I could describe the situation I found myself in than tense—anything less than tension would only mean overlooking our plight. Fear gripped me alongside Angus, and our pack members at large. Going through suffering that would endure longer than a week was nothing we could imagine. I couldn't withhold the intimidation it was engulfing me with. The Moon Goddess wasn't promising us any positive occurrence, even after the fifteen-day chaos and everything was breaking down into shambles. I thought of seeking her personally, hoping she would consider my weak gender or personality. I was mistaken. “If you try to run away from this battle,” the Moon Goddess explained, raising her voice and filling up my ears, “I assure you only a temporary victory—something that fades away in a moment.”“What does that mean?” I asked, my eyes glowing with a visible spark of light as I beheld the majesty of the Goddess. “Thane Thomas will not let you go.”The Moon Goddess con

    It was truer than it seemed to be. A fifteen-day battle was going to occur and the entirety of Arleta would be in shambles, if not utterly destroyed. I was on the shore with Angus already but he was already weakened by the way he hit his spine on a rock. "It hurts, I know, my darling." I said, as I massaged him right there. None of our pack members had come around to even search for us and I was discouraged at that. "Angus, just be good. We will fight this battle till the end. I know one day, we will be free from that Thane Wrest pack!""That's true." Angus managed to say, looking at me with nothing but a dreary face of his, his arms dropping just as his jaws were. "I know that everyone is bound to have at least one enemy in this Arleta, especially. The Moon Goddess said she wants to totally destroy Arleta, don't you think she can do it?""I know she can." I answered him rather coldly, feeling like an antagonist to he Moon Goddess. "I often wonder why she took pleasure in doing thin

    Angus was back from the Moon Goddess. He had told me last night that he needed to know what was going to happen next. He was brimming with eagerness as he walked in and left the main door open. “First thing I came for darling!” Angus said, his eyes fixed on my dreary, unwashed face. “I want you to fuck me deep down. You'll be on me for about thirty minutes. I want to feel your own thrusts and pulls.” “Really, you mean what you said?” I reverted, my face wearing a half smile seeming to be a false one. “I don't have the urge right now, Angus.” Actually, I was stressed and I couldn't even walk so fast and well, so I wondered how I would be the one to thrust his tool inside me. “C'mon!” Angus exclaimed, approaching me with fast steps. He reached me, grabbed me by my top shirt and dragged me into the room. “I learnt we need strength for a fifteen-day journey. The Moon Goddess said the Thane Wrest pack will oppress us and even try all means to attack us, either by poison, magic silver bl
