Alpha Callum watched the happy couple mingling with guests while sipping his drinks.

Beta Amir established the mind link. "Alpha, the men have already left the cemetery. I'm the only one left here. Shall I leave now?" he asked.

"No. Wait for me. I want to see the grave with my own eyes," Alpha Callum said.

"OK. I'll wait here," Beta Amir replied.

Alpha Callum put the wine glass on the table, stood up and walked towards the nearest bathroom to pee. He entered the empty cubicle and initiated teleportation in his mind. He vanished from the cubicle in the blink of an eye.

Alpha Callum appeared beside his beta in the cemetery.

The full moon above cast an eerie glow around the quiet cemetery. He looked at the tombstone. "Poor Clarice, buried without her consent," he murmured sadly, shaking his head.

"A tragic end to a well-respected Luna," Beta Amir said gloomily.

Alpha Callum took a deep breath, looking around the cemetery.

"Are we going to avenge Luna Clarice, Alpha?" Beta Amir asked.

    When Alpha Callum arrived at the farm house, his grandfather was still wide awake, drinking coffee on the sofa."Why are you still awake, Pops?" he asked."I'm watching Clarice for three hours then I will wake up Lorey, so I can sleep," Grandpa Eliezer replied, yawning."You better go to sleep now. I will watch Clarice until morning," Alpha Callum said, heading to the staircase."Aren't you going home tonight? Your wife is waiting for you?" Grandpa Eliezer reminded him.Alpha Callum continues climbing the stairs. "All she knows is I'm having a business discussion with other Alphas at the wedding reception.""I see you are starting to develop a habit of lying to your wife..." Grandpa Eliezer said casually."This will end soon after Clarice is free from poisoning. I just want to make sure that she is well taken care of and recovers quickly so I can finally see my son," Alpha Callum said, reaching the top of the staircase."Fine, as you say so, I'm going to sleep now."

    Alpha Callum went downstairs and joined Grandpa Eliezer for breakfast."How is she, Pops? How is her condition?" he asked."Her body is responding well to the antidote and medicines I gave her. I'm impressed with her recovery. Her iron will to continue living is remarkable. Clarice is a born fighter. Since she refused to die she can only continue living, for her son I guess," Grandpa Eliezer stated in awe while sipping his coffee."That's great, Pops. I will see my son soon," Alpha Callum smiled, delighted with the news. The sooner Clarice can walk on her own, we will begin our journey because I'm dying to see my son," he added excitedly. His eyes glistened with love and longing for his son.Grandpa Eliezer nodded his head. "I can guarantee you that Clarice will make a full recovery soon. Her cooperation and willingness to take medicine helped tremendously with her healing process.""So, how many months do you think she can be up on her feet and able to travel safely?" Alpha Callum as

    Alpha Callum left the farm and went home via teleportation. When he arrived at his mansion, he went straight to his office. His Beta was already there checking his schedule on his notepad."Good morning, Alpha," Beta Amir said in a greeting."Morning," Alpha Callum replied, lowering himself into the chair. "What's on my schedule today?" he asked."Eating breakfast with Luna Viviana. She told me to put that on top of my list for you to do today," Beta Amir answered.Alpha Callum groaned in dismay. "Tell her I'm already done eating breakfast on the farm," he said, and proceeded to browse his phone. "Did she ask you where I slept last night?""Yes. I told her that you visited Grandpa Eliezer at the farm, and you will be home this morning," Beta Amir said, "and you will eat breakfast with her," he added uncomfortably.Alpha Callum glared at his assistant. He hates having breakfast with his wife. She always nag at him. Her irritating insecurity began when she learned that she couldn't give

    One month later.After getting busy with pack affairs, Alpha Callum finally returns to the farm to visit Clarice in broad daylight.He visits the farm several times in the middle of the night and drops the bags of groceries in the living room and returns to his mansion without talking to anyone. There are times he wants to see Clarice, but he chooses not to because he might end up berating her again for hiding his son from him.He doesn't want to hamper her swift recovery, so he refrains from visiting her again.He wants Clarice to focus on her health, so she can walk again, and they can finally travel together and meet his son.He found his grandpa gathering wood outside the house. "Let me help you, Pops.""How's the pack?" Grandpa Eliezer asked."Fine as usual," he replied."Did you already tell your wife about Clarice?" Grandpa Eliezer inquired.He shook his head. "Not yet. I don't think it's a good idea for them to meet yet. Viviana is a jealous freak woman. I'm sure she will make

    A few days later...Clarice was sitting on a wooden chair outside the house, under the shade of a tree sheltered from sunlight. Today is her 28th birthday, and she prefers to celebrate her birthday out in the open, basking in the sunshine and admiring the beauty of nature around her.She looked heavenward. The blue sky was mesmerizing to watch. She longed to visit the beach or the lake and frolicked in the water for hours. But she can't swim in the lake because of her condition.She looked at the crutches that Callum had bought for her so she could practice walking again. A smiled curled up in her lips. She was thankful that Callum still cared deeply for her, maybe not in a romantic way, but more in a friendly way.Grandpa Eliezer told her that Callum had visited the farm house several times to bring groceries and stuff, but he didn't come to see her in her room.Sigh, maybe he's still mad at her for hiding the truth about their son.Tears shimmered in her eyes. She felt sad and empty

    One week later.Beta Amir entered the office, put his notepad down on his desk and prepared a cup of coffee for his Alpha. A few minutes later, Alpha Callum entered the office."Good morning, Alpha," Beta Amir said in greeting. "Here's your black coffee," he said, putting the cup and saucer on the desk."Good morning," Alpha Callum replied, sipping his coffee. "Have you already chosen a place to rent for a few days?" he asked."Yes I have. The house is private and secured," Beta Amir answered, showing the photo of the house located in a secluded place outside the city proper, a few kilometers from the farm. "It's a vacation house that can be rented for a few days, weeks or even months. I already paid the one-week rent in advance," he added."Great. I want to see the place with my own eyes," Alpha Callum said."We can go there after we are done inspecting the landslide area," Beta Amir suggested."OK. How many houses have been affected by the landslide in Torringway Village?" Alpha Cal

    Minutes passed, and Alpha Callum was still not answering the questions thrown at him."Why are you not answering my question, son?" Grandpa Eliezer asked. "Are you afraid to face your worst fears?" he asked.Alpha Callum nodded his head. "Yeah, you are right, Pops.""And you know very well what kind of wife Luna Viviana is. She will eat Clarice alive if she knows you had a son with her," Grandpa Eliezer reminded him."I know," he responded in a somber tone."I want you to be extra careful from now on. Having two women in your life is difficult to manage. The complicated situation will create havoc in your peaceful life," Grandpa Eliezer cautioned him of the storm that was brewing in the distance.He breathed deeply. "I didn't expect this to happen, Pops. I thought Clarice and I would never have this kind of interaction ever again. I'm just surprised by the sudden turn of events. Until now, I'm still processing things in my head.""I know, son. You attended Alpha Bruce's wedding only t

    The following day, Alpha Callum and Luna Viviana were getting ready to go to the farm."I'm excited to visit the farm again," Luna Viviana squealed in delight. "I'm hoping that Grandpa Eliezer had finished creating the fertility concoction so we can finally have a child of our own," she added wistfully.Alpha Callum fell silent.Luna Viviana noticed his silence. "Why? You no longer want to have a child with me? You already give up?" she asked, observing his face closely, feeling hurt that he seemed to be losing interest in the topic.Alpha Callum sighed deeply. "Don't say that. If the Moon Goddess gives us children, then thanks to her. If she doesn't give us a child, then I'm fine with it. You don't have to torture yourself about having a child. It is something you can't force. It has to happen naturally," he said gently, not wanting to prolong the uncomfortable topic any longer.He did want to have a child with his wife, but he had already given up a long time ago after their family

    The next day.Clarice woke up to a brand-new day. She immediately recalled what had happened yesterday. After the power infusion, she manages to teleport to the kitchen, freeze the hands of the clock and make herself invisible for a few minutes.Now all she needs to do is keep practicing using her powers so she can teleport faster to anyplace, freeze any object much quicker and longer and make herself invisible for a few hours without being seen. Currently, she can only do those things for a short time.Now there are two particular things that she wants to try today: hovering in the air and the power of illusion.Excited to know if she could perform such an ambitious feat, she got out of bed, eager to start practicing. She entered the bathroom and stayed there for a few minutes to do some washing. Then she left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal: a ham and egg sandwich and hot coffee.After she finished eating, she went to the living room, sat on the sofa and be

    "So if you are ready, let's start the process now," Demetria said."Alright, let's do it!" Clarice replied excitedly."Let's go somewhere first. I'll show you something." Demetria waved her hand in the air.A few minutes later, the women found themselves in an empty room next to Demetria's room.Demetria approached the wall and opened a secret drawer that only appeared when she waved her hand.Clarice looked at the three oval-shaped objects inside a wooden box, which looked like yummy chocolates. "What is that?""Grandpa Mortaz made this to be consumed by the next guardian. These oval-shaped objects can give you unlimited powers such as teleportation, making illusions, superhuman strength, the ability to hover in the air, freeze people and other living things, create objects in your mind, turn yourself invisible and many more. You have to ingest these objects one after another," Demetria explained."Wow!" Clarice stared at the brown objects in awe. "They look like hard objects. Are th

    Demetria gently pushed Clarice’s head away from her index finger. “That’s enough for your first taste of blood, dear.”“But it’s not enough! Your blood tastes like honey, so sweet. I want more!” Clarice protested, blood trickling down her lips.Demetria shook her head firmly. “That’s all for now. You will start vomiting if you drink too much on your first blood feed. Allow your body to get used to the taste of blood first, and you can drink more later.”“Fine!” Clarice grumbled, upset.“All you need to do is rest. You’ve been sleeping for three days, and you only woke up today,” Demetria said, standing up.“Whaaaat?” Clarice exclaimed, shocked. She glanced at the window. It's daytime. “Three days? Are you sure?” she asked, incredulously.“Yup!” Demetria responds. “I’m surprised to discover that, during the three days of your transformation, your fangs have not shown yet. But I’m still relieved because you crave blood, which means you now have a vampire essence in you. You are a vampire

    Clarice stayed in her room the whole morning. When she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, Demetria was nowhere in sight. She spent the rest of her afternoon reading a book.In the evening, she had just finished dinner and was relaxing in the living room when Demetria arrived.“Evening, dear. How's your day?” she asked.“Fine,” Clarice replied. “Where have you been?”“Got some important things to take care of at the vampire association headquarters. I’m retiring soon, so I need to iron things out before I disappear," Demetria answered.“Can we proceed with my transformation tonight if you are not busy?” Clarice requested with urgency in her voice.“Sure!” Demetria grinned. “You refused my offer before, but now you are eager for the transformation to happen. I love your willingness to upgrade yourself,” she commented cheerily.Clarice smiled. “I want to go home. I'm afraid that if I took so long to go home they might forget about me. We should hurry up with the transformation, trainin

    After a few moments of climbing the stairs, the women reached the second floor.“Are we going to open the ten rooms one by one? You don’t even have the keys with you?” Clarice asked, looking at her companion’s hands.Demetria smiled. “Silly girl, no need to use the key. As if you don’t know me.”“Ah, okay. I got it.” Clarice giggled.Demetria waved her hand and a mist-like door appeared on the wall. “This is the way a guardian enters the room. No need to use the door. Besides, the doors here are sealed tight, so it won’t open up with a single key. Nor can it be opened with anything heavy or blunt objects. The only way to enter the closed door is to make an invisible door through the wall and only people with supernatural powers like me can do it.”Clarice murmured. “Ah, okay, I got it.”“Let’s enter the room.” Demetria stepped into the recently opened door.Clarice followed Demetria inside. What she saw inside the bare room shocked her. She expected an old casket in the middle of the

    The following day, Clarice woke up to a bright new day. The sun was already up in the sky, shining brightly.She did some stretches before getting out of bed.Today, she looks forward to knowing what Demetria’s next revelation is. She is like a student looking forward to learning something new every day.She noticed that Demetria hadn’t entered her room last night, so the transformation might take place tonight.She got up from bed and entered the bathroom to do some washing. A few minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom door and went outside to start her day. She went straight to the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast of waffles and hot coffee.She was munching on her food when she heard Demetria’s footsteps coming into the kitchen.She looked over her shoulder. “Good morning,” she greeted her teacher cheerily.“Morning, dear,” Demetria replied, sitting on the chair, facing her trainee. “How are you today?” she asked.“I’m fine, better than yesterday,” Clarice responded, tak

    The core suddenly flashed a bright red light, indicating it liked Clarice’s blood.Demetria smiled broadly, pleased with the result. She decided to wake Clarice up so she could see the positive results with her own eyes. She placed her hand on Clarice’s head.Clarice opened her eyes and blinked several times. She looked at Demetria and asked, “Is it over? Did I pass the test?” she asked anxiously.“Yes, you passed the test with flying colors! See the core, it is currently flashing a red light!” Demetria answered jubilantly.Clarice looked up at the diamond and saw the flashing of red lights. Her heart rejoiced. Tears of happiness filled her eyes. “Thank you so much!” she said, crying silently. Her homecoming is getting closer now that she has passed the test. She will do anything to master her training quickly. She can’t wait to go home.The thought of going home filled her mind with renewed energy and enthusiasm.She got down from the table and looked at Demetria. “What’s next? I wan

    When the two women arrived at the sacred mountain, they placed the take-out food in the kitchen and then proceeded upstairs to the 3rd floor in Demetria’s forbidden place.“Are you ready for the next step?” Demetria asked.Clarice was scanning the room. The 3rd floor has its own living room and several other rooms.“When I’m gone, you are going to inherit this floor as well,” Demetria said casually.“Okay,” Clarice replied. “What is inside those rooms?” she asked, pointing to the closed doors.Demetria responded, “Each room has its function. I’ll explain them later, but the important thing is, you have to pass the test first. Let's see if the core will accept your blood...”Clarice gave Demetria a terrified look. “Does it hurt? What’s going to happen to me during blood testing?” she asked worriedly.Demetria smiled. “Don’t be afraid, dear. I will just make a tiny cut on your finger and let the core sip your blood. Let's see if it accepts your blood offering,” she explained.“And what
