The nights feels chilly. It wasn’t an understatement to feel that it was really the mountain of Periswua. That we’ve already found it, even without knowing. Just how the pale crescent moon shone above us like a slave of her majesty, lightning her home, we’ve already concluded that it is indeed her home.
Stars are even giving their best to mischievously twink with light, making the night sky above us a combination of silver and illusory colors. Opposite to what is infront of us.
“ Are you sure this was it?” Alpha Nicholas asked. I had the same question. Maybe those woman with spears are just luring us here in the cliff and making a fool out of us.
I heaved my sigh and waited for something to unfold in front of us but nothing did. The woman told me that I can see her abode, for I am Apollo’s daughter but I can’t.
Alpha Antonio growls with annoyance. “ I’ll kill her,” he said. Then I felt something.
She felt like an ephemeral star that twinkles along the night, outshining the darkness of nature. I can picture her clearly, the way how she was giggling while watching Alpha Antonio and I play, her stunning soft features and gentle words of wisdom. She was the epitome of every Luna that I’ve met but then we were told that she was cursed by an unknown disease and suffered a great ordeal until her last breath.I even kept her ring for her, for I promise to always stay by her Antonio’s side no matter what happens.“ She was once the guardian of the Mt. Henes, where it caters to the needs of peace and isolation. Her abode was nothing like ours, she was the favorite. The butterfly is in her own mountain and everyone wants her. Everyone adores and worships her. It was like her power wasn’t calming my mind and binding me with nature, it was temptation. Her cross bowed lips always tell the greatest things and even my own father loves her,
He nudges my touch and move away. “You know that she was just manipulating us, right?” Alpha Antonio said to his twin, consoling him for he was right. Selene, the moon goddess is just trying to manipulate us through her stories.Her stories wasn’t something that we know but it wasn’t something that we’ve needed to know for it was all a lie. Whatever she’s saying are all part of her lies. Alpha Gerri loathed her, it was enough for him to fake his death just to escape her sight.It was impossible for him to love Selene and loath her this much afterwards. Selene must’ve been having an illusion. Alpha Gerri loved Letti, she was his first and only love. Their love story is what inspires me and all of the women at our pack.They are an unbreakable couple. And they even died with the same disease. That is what is instilled in our mind. And hearing, Selene’s version of story won’t fazed me. She was just trying her lu
Atonement. Reparation. Paying of sins.It is the nature of the world to keep a balance among every species. That everything should be equal to established a world that doesn’t envy one another, doesn’t build a diversion against one another. However, everyone sins. It’s the dark loophole of life, sinning seems to be the nature of the world. One sin from many actions and sometimes, atonement is the only option to cleanse nature.Nature has its own way of demanding the payment of sins. It can come in a full-blown punishment and sometimes it comes into a piece by piece dark omen of life. Nevertheless, atonement is an inevitable demand that no one is exempted from.One way or another, we are ought to pay for our sins.The shuffling of our feet can be heard from the narrow part of this castle. I don’t even know where they are dragging me. It was just full-blown of winds invading the white walls and columns, the fires at each side, illumi
The moon goddess is bestowed with the power and a responsibility to choose the mate of the wolves according to the rules of nature.No one knows how she does it. No one knows how can she do it. It is just one of the mystic of nature that the answer still lingers and echoes along with the gush of the wind.When I was young, my mother told me about the moon goddess. She was given a very important responsibility of conjugation where two unknown hearts must be bound. Two souls must be linked to nature. It wasn’t just a tradition, it wasn’t just a responsibility for behind her every choice is the risk of lives.Inside her palm is the world revolving and she was the only one who had the power to make at peace for love, for mate. The risks of ending a pure soul to a mate that will only reject its own are incredibly high. It was long since this happened. Many hearts had been broken and many mates had rejected one another and the moon goddess wa
The moon shines upon us, it’s like a silver boat dangling into the midst of darkness, surrounded by twinkling stones that don’t even outshine it.Tilting my head, I tried to reach for it. I tried to hold it in the palm of my hands but I just can’t. Not when I know that it was bleeding, that even when it’s shining, it’s exploiting the darkness of love.“ You’re just wasting your time,” I heard a voice say behind me. He was stoic in expression and I doubt if I’ll ever feel his warmth again.It was like the past events. We are again, in the middle of nowhere and he’s beside me, guarding me. The only difference was that before, he was protecting me but right now, he’s going to kill me if I didn’t do what Selene did.Selene wanted me to kill Alpha Gerri. He wanted me to use my power to kill her lover. The power that I didn’t even know that I had.“ What will she do
Beta Xander plucked the sword out of my hands and throw it into the ground. I was weaponless and he was in rage, aiming his swords in my direction. Without hesitation, he plunged it towards my direction and the only option that I was left was to run.I run for my life when I shouldn’t be. Time stopped for me when the sharp edge of the sword tear the sides of my shirt. It almost makes me crumble into the ground because of fear.He was just looking at me, losing all of the colors in my face while gaping at what he did. “ Y-You’re really going to kill me?” I asked. My voice is nothing but pained.Beta Xander ignored my words and stopped over at the log at the sides. He was whirling his swords expertly like he was really determined to kill me.The wintery sun rose against the shadows of the leaves, it appeared to be brighter or was it because I’ve been seeing nothing but darkness that I wasn’t even used to lig
This is the day.The musky shadows of the roads and patterns of the houses unveil in front of my eyes. Whispers of the strangers and the shuffling of footsteps can be heard across the street. It was the images of wolf laughing and enjoying every bit of life while I was here, preparing myself for this very day.Beta Xander wasn’t kidding when he told me that we are ought to invade the pack of Alpha Gerri and kill him at his own home. He arranged everything and we are successfully inside. The pack was the same, the hometown is still full of love for it was created for that very matter. It was supposed to cater the lone wolf and gave them a home to shelter.That’s why they are faithful to their Alpha. To their Alpha Gerri. They are faithful for he gave them hope and gave them a home.Alpha Gerri. I don’t know what I will feel about this. Killing him was the plan and I’ve realized that maybe, he just fell inlove with Letti and unintent
It was the warmest embrace. The bravest and foolish embrace that I’ve experienced in my life. His cold hands touched my face, gently tracing and staring to me. His deep set of eyes and peaceful face reminds me how he stand for me. How he helped me during the time of suffering. He was always there and I am blind for not seeing him. He wipes the tears that is cascading out of my eyes and slightly chuckles.A sound of peace and joy can be traced down at his tone but I refused to hear it. Not when my hands are trembling as I lay him into the cold floor and made him lean his head into my lap. Drops of blood is spurting out of his mouth and I am beyond grieving.How devastating to be a goddess and not be able to protect him? He shield the wrath for me using his own life without thinking. And the guilt inside of me was blooming with regret. Blooming with mourning feeling of this event.The sword was meant to kill a wolf. It was meant to kill Alpha Gerri but it wa
Beta Xander’s POVMy first glance at her made me want to hide the intensity of wave the she causes inside of my heart. She looks like an ethereal queen, her beauty outshines everyone in her class. They way how her jet black hair moves in accordance with her body made me want to run infront of her and introduce myself but I know that I can’t. I just can’t because that will only ruin my mission.“ Did you see Devon?” Alpha Antonio asked and I nodded before pointing at her direction ignoring the pain in my heart as I saw how a smile appeared into her lips, how her face lit up into a brighter mood when she saw him approaching.I was told to look for her. To monitor her because the moon goddess told me so. But then, looking at her from afar made me want to know her closer. To speak with her in a casual conversation.Until I did. I did but I was too late for her to even notice. She got the Gibbous twin wrapped in her
I can still remember how it all started. My only wish is to find my mate, wishing upon the moon goddess not knowing that everything will turn into a disaster. A long disaster where none of us was prepared on what is waiting for us at the end of the road.My wish became true but something happened. Something was tweaked about it. I didn’t just find my mate but I had been entangled into a trio mate, a curse with the Gibbous twin. The Alpha twin of my pack. Alpha Antonio is the love of my life but he doesn’t know about it, on that night I clearly wishes for him to be my mate but then, his twin brother came running into my direction claiming me to be his mate.Everything is in chaos. My heart is in between and my mind has never been wired from any situation. I was just a simple girl and I don’t know how to react from everything.Trio mate. A bond between a three person. A rare situation which no one can fully understand, not even me. I thought that
“ Devon! Are you really pregnant!?” Thorne shouted as soon as I entered my kingdom, making me shocked because of how fast he picked up the news.I told the Gibbous twin that I don’t want anyone to know yet but they didn’t listen. “ Who told you?” I asked but Thorne held his place and clenched his teeth so he cannot talk.My gaze landed to Beta Xander and he looked on me with confusion on his eyes. “ What?” he asked and he rolled his eyes when I waited for him to tell me the truth. “ It’s Anne,” he added which made me groan out of frustration.Thorne is looking at me with guilt in his eyes. “ I told you that you cannot like that girl!” I shouted because of how stubborn he is.Beta Xander is chuckling because of how hard I am scolding our brother. “ She’s not the girl for you!” I added which only made Beta Xander barked in laughter.I looked at Thorn
“ Why are you with Anne?!” I shouted to Alpha Nicholas because of what I saw. I just visited their pack and the first thing that I will see is him, being touchy with Anne. He looks bewildered because I am shouting right in front of my face but I cannot seem to help it these days.Everything is chaotic in my world because I’ve been fixing all of the route ups of what happened to us. All of the fate that has been touched is making me awake at night but this day I decided that I wanted a day-off and a day to spend with my mates.We’re married for atleast a month but we haven’t decided yet about what we’re going to do with our responsibilities in our own world. They cannot leave their pack and I cannot leave my kingdom. I don’t know how these are going for us but I think we’re managing our time to see each other for every other day.“ It’s not that, kitten,” Alpha Nicholas tried to grab my arms but I
“ Are you sure this is okay?” I asked Thorne when I asked him if I can show how entangling two soul works to the Gibbous twin.He smiles and nodded. “ Yeah, I guess?” he replied in unsure tone which only makes me snorted. I don’t have anyone to asked since Beta Xander is completely out of this world.And by out of this world, I didn’t mean that he is dead or he hasn’t come back but it felt that way. He found himself a new hobby, flirting and fucking servants, wolves and strangers. It’s like he’s been enchanted to ruin his life and as much as we want to help him, he doesn’t want our help.I just wishes that he won’t knocked up one of those girls or his fate will be ruined.“ Is there a chance that I can know about his mate?” I asked Thorne while we both look at Beta Xander who’s completely flirting with one of the servants.Both of my brother is completely residing i
The chill of the night didn’t bother us whilst we let ourselves be drown into being drunk. The devil witch shoved us into the edge of nowhere after he gets what he wants.A bite of the cursed child. My mind wanders about what he meant to do with that bite. Alpha Antonio told us that the bite is dangerous. That whatever happen shouldn’t happened in the first place. The bite will only cause destruction, and by giving it to someone like the devil witch, we just like paved the way for him to cause the destruction that he wants.He is evil. The bite landed into an evil person, making us afraid on what will happen for tomorrow.“ Let’s drink more,” Beta Xander said as he raise his beer into the air while we are outside of the Gibbous mansion, drinking under the lit of the moon.I made sure that I had the freedom to come here while my kingdom remains at peace without my presence. Nothing is telling us that there is danger but
“ No, I will not give you my bite,” Beta Xander said after the long silence. We remain in our position because we don’t really know exactly about how to react from everything.He has this wicked grin into his face. An expression that I haven’t since ever since the first day that we had our first conversation.The devil witch raise its brows to him. “ Okay, then no deal for today then. Just so you know, I always get what I wanted. Even if I had to kill,” he said.I shivers at his thought but Beta Xander remains composed about everything. He looked at me and I smiles. I just wanted him to know that whatever his decision are, I support him. We can still find some way for this mate to break.We will find something, whatever will it takes.“ You needed some time to talk, eh?” The devil witch said and clapped his hand as if he just did us a favor by rosing from his feet and go away.He left the four
“ The what?!” Beta Xander reacted as he rose from his feet and look at the devil witch. All of us remains stilled as we heard what he just called Beta Xander.We all know where he came from but hearing this is in another level of darkness.“ Uh-uh. You didn’t know?” he asked, feigning ignorance about his rude behavior as he looked at our shocked face.We didn’t know. The only thing that we know about is how he is the child of a mistake between Selene and Apollo.He looked at us and shook his head, exploiting his disappointment. “ You really didn’t know?” he asked and we nodded. “ Then it will be my honor to tell you,” he added whilst looking to Beta Xander.“ Once upon a time.”We snorted because of what he said. “ I didn’t peg you to be this classic,” Beta Xander rolled his eyes because of annoyance.“ Okay. To cut the story sh
Part B*****It has a light free color of water, and we did cross it before we come face to face to a gigantic house. It wasn’t like the others that we saw in the past, mostly witches are situated on a simple house, not in like a kingdom. But this house isn’t something like that.The white columns and large windows almost felt overpowering as we stop just right in front of the doorway. Alpha Nicholas held my hand as he nodded to the other two who are now attempting to knock on the door.However, they didn’t even needed to knock when the two door frame automatically opens, leaving their fist into the air.Alpha Antonio looked on us and I nodded signaling them to go inside. We walked very slowly, watching our every step as we realized how the exterior of this house didn’t gave justice to what is awaiting from us inside.It’s like we’re in another dimension of everything. The large furniture and the pai
