THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 76
It seems pretty hard to believe that Dmitri would actually behave like that. I mean, although he is indeed one of the bluemoon pact, I haven’t seen him actually transform after getting mad at me ever since, making me doubtful that such a dream would even become a reality.Besides, even though I am being a complete nagger towards Dmitri, I haven’t even experienced him acting in such a manner that he would try to terrify me by actually shifting into a wolf. In addition to that, what I understand and believe about werewolves is that they don't transform easily unless it's a full moon. Unless they belong to the species of celestial wolves who could actually transform whenever they please.I remember that tale being part of the old folklore in Anacortes where the lone wolf fell in love with the moon Goddess. There was a tale there that the lone wolf would shift into his human form every now and then after the moon Goddess granted him the mate whom he will be spending the rest of his life
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 77
I instantly asked Klen to accompany me outside to meet Dmitri in the Alforques manor. For some reason, I couldn’t help but want to believe that despite how Henry had told Taylor that Dmitri had already left, I still couldn't find it hard to believe that he could actually leave just like that. There’s a part of me that tells me Dmitri is still around somehow. Perhaps he could still be in a bad mood to face me because of what had happened between the two of us on South Drive. I can’t blame him for that either. I mean, I completely understand where he might be coming from. From his perspective, it is indeed understandable that that’s exactly how he would react after I failed to give him the response he was actually expecting from me.Dmitri was expecting for me to actually reply that I agreed to be with him, to be engaged with him in particular. However, what I did was not only made him look stupid for tyring his best to please me in agreeing to become his fiance but also, I left him t
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 78
I wanted to carefully think of what Henry told me. He has mentioned that since Dmitri couldn’t be around for a little while, he had been telling me that he has been taking care of most things inside the Alforque manor right now.I never wanted to barge inside the manor again while looking for Dmitri, whatever these business trip that Dmitri has to go through were all just farce reasoning in order for him to only make me feel guilty for doing what I have doon before at the South Drive.Trying to be overly concern over Dmitri can be a little stressing than I thought. And since Henry had already told me what I needed to know and that he seemed like no more reserve information to tell me. I finally went on to ask Klen to finally drive me back to the Silverstone mansion empty from wanting to see Dmitri myself. This time, I feel a bit depressed over the situation. It isn’t what I want to be honest and if I am to be asked, I really want to check each of the rooms inside the manor, particula
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 79
After what Reagan had told me just now, my suspicion grews even more stronger that the Alforques had anything to do with the death of Julius and at the same time, they were also after property in south drive because of the possible evidence that lies in that property.I wanted to find out and dig deeper into this new found information that Reagan had told me, however, my resource was not even enough to let know more about what could the Alforques really be after.Moreso, It really makes me wonder why Dmitri suddenly decide to leave. I am not stupid to believe that it was all because he wanted to give me space. For sure there is something more to this than just that mere reason.It was even a weak reasoning that I am not even holding my breath to believe it. I’d even consider it had it been for the reason that connects to the case of Julius Silverstone.In the case that I found out that the Alforques indeed have something to do about this, I swear that i wouldn’t be able to forgive the
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 80
I've been thinking a lot about what Reagan told me a few days ago. If I could only find a way in which I can eagerly see through the operations within the Alforque’s company, then perhaps there might be some kind of a clue that could lead me to those culprit behind all of the ordeals I have been going through ever since I am still living as Odette.Reagan had been eager about unfolding more information to me about the schemes that the Alforques has in store for me and my death. There was no wonder why it seem like Dmitri has been acting really strange with me lately.I now understand that those were all just for a show. None of it even say the least truth and what hurts the most was the fact that I allowed myself to actually believe that Dmitri may really be having an affection for me.He is still an Alforque after all. Once an Alforque, stays an Alforque. Unfortunately for me though since I made myself fall head over heels once again to an Alforque and to make matters even worst, th

A few days after, I then decided to come back into the Alforque manor. This time though, I actually asked Taylor to help me get there once again. She was really hesitant at first that she even tried to convinced earlier not to go.Taylor had already seen me back before coming from the Alforques with Klen. Perhaps Klen may have told about what happened to Taylor. I am uncertain how but it was really possible that Klen may have really told Taylor aboutn it.After what felt like an eternity of moment trying to convince her that my intention of coming back to the manor was just so I could talk to Henry again, eventually Taylor then gave in. It’s not that she doubted me but I can feel that Taylor was merely concern of me.The sincerity of her concern is very genuine that she doesn’t even sound like a villain to me, it was more likely close to how a mother tries to advise her daughter instead. And that was how I am being treated by Taylor.After the two of us arrived at the Alforque manor,

“You heard me, right? Dmitri isn’t coming back and it’s all because of you, right?”And as Matteo tells me that, I felt my whole world just sank. I don’t want to believe any of his words. It’s because I know deep within me that they were trying to hide something.All of them.Even Matteo, is not an exemption to this as I know that he, too, is also behind about the sudden disappearance of Dmitri. And for some reason, it is actually becoming an even more intriguing part for me since I know that it would be too shallow for Dmitri to actually act like that just because of me.I mean, if this is still because of what happened back in the South drive then Dmitri is truly being unreasonable and petty.
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW 83
When I finally arrive, everyone stops from moving to see me walk myself from the staircase down the garden. And as I am crossing the arch that is adorned with white stargazers, I can’t help but feel a little awkward while getting all of their eyes on me.If this goes any further, I might seriously faint any moment now. Thankfully, Matteo’s friend, Senry, immediately came to my aid like he always does. Above all Matteo’s relatives, Senry is the kindest to me. After Matteo–being the only child left–became all alone, Senry turns out like a real brother to Matteo and also to me. And then, Senry extends his hand and escorts me to the front stage where both Matteo and the rest of the guests are waiting.“Were you all waiting too long? I’m so sorry.” I immediately told Senry.And he just chuckles, “No need to worry. We weren’t even waiting for that long to be honest.”

Now that sounds really suspicious. But I know I can’t just argue with her about it. Taking that step might just make her harm me or take back the antidote from me. I have to pretend like everything is okay from my end.In this situation I am in, I have to make it appear before Magindara’s eyes that I totally agree with her suggestion. Somehow, there are points from her statement that really do convince me but a greater picture doesn’t deny me the intuition that she might be trying to take me in as tool for her ulterior motive.I don’t know what it really is but I have to be vigilant and ready about it. Ready in a sense that I at least could handle the situation even if I am not aware what kind of battle that I am about to face here.“I’ll see what I can do.” I just replied.I believe that would be the safest thing to say for now.“Do you have any other question so far?” Magindara asked me. I wonder why she suddenly came up with that question.Did she find or somewhat noticed it from m

“Nothing that involves you or Florante.” I told him that shut him up quickly.This time, I didn’t wait for Leandro to act on my request to withdraw the troops away from Magindara. And so, I yanked my head to their direction and yelled, “All of you! Lower your weapons and withdraw from her at once!”“You can’t do that, Miss Emalia.” Leandro tried to protest.“And why can’t I?” I retort back.“Because I am the one leading them, Miss Emalia.”“Very well.” I said with full pride facing the troops, I then added, “As your master’s bride, I also hold the highest command alongside your master. Deny me of this and you shall be severely punished by your master.”And it was like a fearing statement, all the troops begin to withdraw from Magindara and not even Leandro was able to stop that.Magindara still hasn’t remove her barrier but I saw on her face that she is convinced that I did this so that we’re somewhat even for keeping me alive. I nod at her as I make my exit from the cave.As the gua

It makes me feel regretful though but a tinge part of me has become quite the curious as to how the image from the translucent pearl just keep on showing Florante when I am so focused to see my mother?My inquisitive thoughts have been rattling me once again and this just makes me frustrated as I know I won’t set myself aside without trying to know the reason why. But apparently, it seems that Magindara doesn’t have the answers for me as well and this bugs me.“I feel bad for this but do you still wish to try it again?”Though deep down within me says I would prefer to, I think it would be better off if I won’t pursue trying again. It’s kind of scary trying again and then Florante will just be the end result of it.And so I told her, “No. We’ve done it twice already. If it’s not meant for me then it’s okay, but what I just don’t understand it that, why does it keep on showing Florante no matter how I try to concentrate to see my mother? Do you perhaps know a deeper thought about it?”
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW 104
After handing over the small flask of my tears to her, Magindara went to her drawers and drop in some kind of a blue liquid into before she heads back in front of the translucent pearl once more.“Come closer. Now, as I drop your tears into the pearl, I want you to envisage the moment you wish to see.” She told me.It will be quite difficult for me to try and picture it out since it was the day I was born. I have zero recollection about it except for the stories that my dad often tells me.I wonder how on earth will I start creating such image in my head. But as Magindara head on to drop the liquid on the pearl, I quickly had to concentrate and think deeply about that moment when I was born. I could use my baby images to help me concentrate and it appears that it is working.The translucent pearl is beginning to glow and I couldn’t hide my excitement that I’ll finally get to see the image of my biological mother after twenty-seven long years.Even though Magindara has stop from singi

The beauty of the silver clam boasted as it spread itself open before us. It revealed a shiny pearl inside.“This is a translucent pearl. It can give you a mirror to reflect anything you wish to see from the present and past.”Could that pearl really be that powerful enough to see anything from the past?“Will I be able to see someone from the past even if I hadn’t got the chance to know them?”“Well, the pearl never misses anything the water could see.”“There is someone I’d like to see. Could it be possible thought…I wonder.”“Do you have anyone in mind you met while you are anywhere near bodies of water?” Magindara asked.I’m not sure if it’s okay to tell her a weak side of me. But I’ve been yearning to see an image of my mother. I wonder for real, if doing this will give me the chance to see her even for a short while.“I’m not sure. The last time I was with her was when I was born. My father says she died giving birth to me.”“I’m sorry about that but it seems like we have no oth

“You came back here for the purpose of knowing the truth. But your appearance in this era has made quite some changes in the present time without your knowing.” Magindara stated. She glides her way towards rock formation that resembles a cellar.Magindara gestured me to follow her and I followed. It’s such a surprise that I actually don’t find it scary following her. For some reason, I am just too confident or was it more like I find it normal.It never came into my mind that I am inside an enemy’s lair and a mythical creature that could easily harm me. was this boost of confidence because of the other half of the orient pearl residing inside of my chest?I held into my chest and tried to scrub it gently, I wanted to feel the pearl inside of me but when I find myself looking weird, I immediately stop.Magindara and I stop when we reach the ground where a lot of jars are kept. From different sizes and colors. The whole place appears like Magindara’s secret laboratory for me. I didn’t k

“Did you even try to talk to him again?” I asked. For some unexplainable reason, I really didn’t understand why on earth did I asked that. Was I really trying to torment myself further? I guess so.Magindara just looks at me with a serene face and answered, “A lot of chances came to me but I never push through.”My brow wasn’t able to control itself from rising up as I followed up to ask, “But why didn’t you?”There, Magindara just smiled shyly, “I came to the point of asking myself, if I ever ask for forgiveness and he forgive me. Then the two of reconcile, what would happen if Aman Sinaya will return and ask for the same question again. I’m scared that my loyalty for Aman Sinaya will only make Florante hate me too much that he would rather kill me to death than see me alive.” She said back.I wanted to strangle her. Deep in my thoughts I wish I could just slap her for once but who am I to do that even if I am Florante’s fiancé.Magindara is bound in her faithfulness towards Aman Sin

“Florante saved me once. When some fisherfolks tried to hunt me down, Florante came to my aid and wash them out using the tidal waves. I owe him my life, so I told myself that I would love him and care for him…”Hearing those lines from Magindara stiffen my nerves. This impulse is making me crazy. I am now being consumed by the jealous frenzy. And the feeling just got more intensified when Magindara added saying, “…and I was happy that Florante noticed me and my affection for him. Perhaps it was because he was longing for someone to value and take care of him that’s why he finally noticed me. For quite some time, I stayed in his dome and had the vision of being wed to him. I know it came to his mind that he would ask me to be his wife but something came up.”The sudden turn of events from statement made me more curious. I just have to find the right words to make it sound from my end as if I was just less interested yet at the back of my head, I am so eager to know.And so, I asked, “

There I realize that maybe that was the bargain they made for their only child. That in exchange for their child to live, they have to offer even their own lives. It’s a very noblest thing for his parents to sacrifice at such extent.I feel all the pain that the young Florante is currently experiencing right now as I see him nestled himself on the ground wailing in tears. I can read through the movement of his mouth how he tries to call for his parents but since they were stoned, apparently the poor boy won’t be able to receive the response he was yearning to hear from them.“In exchange for the boy to live longer, his parents made a deal with the sea God. They will offer their lives to be used as auxiliary life source so that Amanikable could transfer his mentala to the young boy. Florante’s state was so fragile that if it’s not done that way, Florante might not be able to handle to amount of mentala inside his body that he will soon perish to death quicker than they could even imagi
