CHAPTER 69:Vivian's body started shaking, she needed more energy immediately but at the same time she got full from the ones she had taken. It was a strange feeling she had and it was overwhelming her and she felt she could no longer control herself nor her powers. She tried to call out to her wolf for help but she wasn't responsive. After several attempts a wolf begged her to help her instead. Her wolf's voice was very low and weak. "I don't understand what is happening to you?" Vivian asked her wolf her mind went back to what Aileen had warned her about and she feared it was coming through but how could Aileen be correct?"No no no no that can be true it can't be possible, right?" She asked her wolf. "It seems like it is, Vivian." "No!" Vivian screamed, "it can't be. I need to get Aileen out of my head." She shook her head, trying to shake off the thought. "Aileen is our mortal enemy!" She reminded herself. "We will soon be Luna, we have already gotten her to accept the duel p
Chapter 70 VIVIAN'S POV I stabbed him so many times that I couldn't keep count. My eyes were dazed and the figure in front of me, Aileen, was already dead. I had finally killed her. I raised my head up and laughed in glee. Finally! Finally I am through with the woman who had been giving me so much trouble ever since she arrived. I would finally be able to become Luna just like I wished. “Mistress! No, no, no!” The maids screamed as they stared at me in horror. Why were they looking at me like that? Do they think I'm evil for killing Aileen? Do they think I'm… Wait, this cologne was familiar to me. This scent… It didn't smell like a female. It smelled like a man, like my… father. I looked down in horror, my vision cleared and I saw the person who I stabbed. I gasped in shock, unable to say a word. “How… How could this… How could I…” I trembled and immediately stood up from the ground. How come? How come it wasn't Aileen but my father? How could it be? “Check if he's… if he's dea
Chapter 71AUTHOR'S POV Aileen and Vivian stood in the middle of the field, their eyes were on each other, hard and dark. Vivian was smirking and darkness was literally rolling off of her in waves. Aileen clenched her fists and asked, “What did you do Vivian? I already told you that whatever you were doing was going to swallow you whole!” “What's it to you? Are you trying to save me or something? Let me tell you, Aileen, I don't care about how I get power, the only thing I care about is how to win!” Vivian yelled and ran towards Aileen at full speed. She stretched out her hands and dark magic flowed ominously around her and weaved itself into the air. “She's using dark magic!” One of the council members exclaimed and the others watched in pure horror and fascination. Even though Vivian was using dark magic, they would not be able to stop the duel. Vivian, with her jet-black hair and piercing eyes, exuded an unsettling aura of darkness. On the opposing side stood Aileen, her pre
CHAPTER 72AILEEN’S POV“Ah…” I opened my eyes, only to find myself engulfed in endless darkness. My lungs burned and so did my eyes, it stung so badly that tears began to form at the corner of my eyes.“When I’m not peeling onions.” I muttered in anger and used the back of my hands to wipe my tears. I narrowed my eyes when I saw Vivian standing motionlessly in the middle of the dark energy. Her eyes were closed and her skin was very pale, she even looked like she was having…“Internal bleeding?” Red lines moved under her skin like worms and gradually spread across her entire body, even her face and legs wasn’t spared.“Vivian?” I murmured but she was unresponsive. I wanted to move closer to her but I couldn’t move, I could only watch as the red lines spread further and further across her skin.“Vivian! Can you hear me? Vivian!” I called out, hoping that she would hear me but it was all to no avail, she looked dead. The dark powers had swallowed her; I had to find a way to go outside.
CHAPTER 73AILEEN’S POV“What do I need to do? How can I control these… purification powers?” I asked with urgency written in my voice.“Alright, first things first, rid yourself from every thought in your head and…”“That is going to be really hard.” I cut in, “I have always had a problem with concentrating on one thing, is there anything you can do to help?”“Ugh, you and Vivian are alike than you know it.” I bit my lips, a little bit annoyed that I was compared to Vivian but suddenly, I felt something cold on my forehead, it was soothing.“Concentrate on what you feel on your head and zero your mind. Feel the energy inside of you. Acknowledge it. Control it. Tap into it and direct those powers towards Vivian, you might not be able to move but it doesn’t matter. Your powers can even transcend time. It won’t be easy, as it requires an enormous amount of willpower but think about the people outside, they are waiting for you.” The voice guided and I nodded my head.I closed my eyes and
CHAPTER 74AILEEN’S POV“My lady, your bath is ready.” Lila walked into the room and stood in front of my bed, her head was lowered and she didn’t look me in the eye. Although it was normal for people not to look the Luna or Alpha in the eye, this time, there was some sort of reverence in them that wasn’t present before.My legs touched the cold ground and despite how cold it was, it didn’t affect me. After all, the room was cold because of me. Lila and the three servants behind me escorted me to the bath and when I sunk into the water; my body gave an involuntary shiver. “This water is too hot.” I mumbled under my breath and glared at them before they could make any move, “Don’t you dare beg for mercy or anything like that, I was just making an observation? You guys are just too uptight, loosen up a little.”“Yes, my lady.”It didn’t take them long to finish helping me to wash up and we moved over to the dressing room where I sat in front of the mirror. I glanced at my pale reflecti
CHAPTER 75JOSHUA’S POVThe news of a woman with pale skin and silver hair just like Aileen had already spread like wildfire throughout the mansions. Servants and guards were talking about it and were speculating about the woman’s true identity and how she could be related to Aileen since they looked so alike.I exchanged a quick glance with Aileen and her eyes mirrored the confusion and curiosity that I felt. The atmosphere in the room had changed and the tension was so easily felt.“Where is she now?” Aileen’s slow voice cut through the tension like butter, demanding answers from the men who had interrupted the meeting.“She’s in the healing quarters. She wasn’t conscious when we found her so we took her there directly, after we dropped her off, we came here immediately to inform you.” One of the men answered with a trembling voice.“Alright.” Aileen nodded and stood up, a regal aura demanding respect burst out of her at this moment and despite the situation, I could not help but sm
CHAPTER 76AILEEN’S POVI turned and left the healing quarters, the weight of responsibility I suddenly felt towards that woman wasn’t something I liked. It seemed like she had come out of nowhere, which she actually had, and come to encroach on my territory. The eyes and blushing expression she had used to stare at Joshua was something that annoyed me.The council members dispersed after saying their goodbyes, leaving me and Joshua walking alone in the corridor. He took my hand and wrapped my palms in his; the warmth encased me and went through my whole body. I sighed out as I was a bit tired.“What do you think about this? Do you think she’s telling the truth?” Joshua asked and I shook my head, “She couldn’t possibly be wearing a wig right? Look at my hair; this is something that humans can even replicate. This is a head full of silver strands.” I bragged and pushed a handful of my hair into Joshua’s hands. He chuckled.“But I don’t know Joshua, my clan is supposed to be extinct. If
CHAPTER 109 {THE END} AUTHOR'S POV “Luna Aileen is still bleeding, bring in some hot water and fresh towels. Quickly!” Servants scurried about in the corridors and hallways as Aileen’s screams of pain rang throughout the entire place. Her curses were also loud enough for people to hear, if she wasn't in a critical condition, it would have been funny. Meanwhile, Joshua was pacing in front of the doors, the smell of his mate's blood was making him more agitated. Joshua had changed, his hair had grown a bit longer, his eyes lighter. He had a half crescent moon on his forehead, a symbol of the Protector. He looked a bit mature now but everyone could feel the nervousness and pain rolling off of him in waves. He winced when Aileen let out another string of curses. “If you impregnate me again, Joshua, I'll make sure to cut it off! I'll castrate you! Arghh!” “Push, Luna Aileen, I can see its head.” “Urghhh!” Aileen let out another scream and in the span of some hours, the cries of ne
Chapter 108AILEEN'S POV “Years ago, my parents were killed by the Dark Realm Lord, just before Sera the Dark Realm was destroyed. I was already a child who had knowledge of those things so I wanted revenge. I joined Sera as a spy, I and my right hand man, Osris started to look for how to get revenge since his parents were also killed and I came across a prophecy. It talked about you and your powers. I don't exactly remember how it goes but it says that anyone who controls your powers would be able to control the werewolf world. I was scared that Sera would find out and she would want to use you. I tried to kill you, as you know. I changed all the books containing your powers so she didn't find out. A lot of people listened to me instead of her. So yeah, all along, I only wanted to kill you because I didn't want you to fall into Sera's hands.” Terry explained as he took us to the runes. I didn't say a word but I didn't think I expected this. I always thought that he was the bad gu
Chapter 107 JOSHUA'S POV “Ugh…” I let out a cry of agony. My chest, along with the rest of my body, was in such excruciating pain that it seemed like I was on fire. Sera had given me something, but she did not disclose the name of the substance; however, it was poisonous. My intestines felt as if they were being gnawed on by a million ants, in addition to the sensation that I was on fire myself. In the beginning, I was cold, but as time went on, the temperature rose so much and then afterwards, I was unable to feel my arms and legs. After then, my eyes turned completely dark, and I was unable to see anything. In spite of the fact that I waited for my hearing to go out as well, the sound was still excruciatingly loud, and the beating that came from the room next to mine was a form of torment. Those three women who came with Aileen were being punished by Sera. To my great relief, Xander and Berry were not present, and neither were the townspeople. So at least, some people were
Chapter 106 AILEEN'S POV“Aileen, Sera, she... she..." Both Elysia and Lia came to a complete stop directly across from us, their eyes widened in surprise. They came to issue a warning to us about Sera, but it was too late; Sera had already become aware of our presence. "Oh, what? Does all of you here have the same goal in mind? I was taken aback when I discovered that the woman who had attempted to kill me and then spied on us was actually with Aileen, Elysia, is it? I have been pondering on many ways in which I could trick you and convince you to join my side. Sadly, I will have to put an end to your life at some point, since you're with Aileen. I hope you don't take offence to that.” Sera gave a shrug and started walking in our direction. Instantaneously, my eyes sharpened, and I moved directly in front of Joshua, shielding him. However, she only smiled at us and stopped some meters away from us. “The fact that you came to my territory and attempted to kidnap my man, assassinat
CHAPTER 105 AUTHOR'S POV Darkness lightened up as the moon rose higher and higher into the sky, and its brilliance descended upon the village below as if there were no problems at all. Owls hooted, insects chirped, and birds sang in the night sky. There was a distinct musical composition that resulted from the sounds, which people would either find irritating or agreeable to the ears. It wasn't just that, though. The villagers gradually emerged from their condition of being puppets, staring at their walls in a state of amazement and wondering what they had been doing when they were in this state.Some of them were overcome with feelings of guilt as they recalled the events that had transpired over the preceding few days. All of these were observed by the pairs of icy blue eyes that were standing in the shadows and watching them with a triumphant smirk on their faces. As they emerged from the shadows, their hair, which was a metallic silver colour, glistened in the wind. They were
CHAPTER 104AILEEN’S POVWhen I told Elysia and the others about what I had seen the following morning, I made sure to include everything that I had seen, without leaving anything out. For a little period, everyone was silent, and I could see that Elysia was attempting to persuade herself to reveal something to us. On the other hand, I did not speak up because I believed that if it was something that she couldn't readily say, then it had to be really horrible.“The fact of the matter is that the three of us were born in the same way that Sera acquired her abilities.” While Elysia began, I, along with Berry and Xander, was unable to comprehend what she was saying."Could you elaborate on your words just a little bit? I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're talking about."All right... When Sera gained her abilities, we were in the castle. You have to understand that our parents were taken captive many years before the conflict broke out. The master of the dark realm was involved
Chapter 103AUTHOR'S POV "Terry, it has been about a month since you have been looking for that woman; why are you still looking for her? It's too late; she's gone, for good!” Sera yelled, her eyes widened in rage. One more debate had been begun by them regarding Aileen and whether or not she had passed away. "Have you located her dead body?" Terry switched his attention to Sera, his eyes narrowing and his lips pressing against one other as he did so. “We did not, but I'm telling you that..." "In the event that we did not find her body, do you not believe that your presumptions are a little distant from the truth? Literally, she vanished before our own eyes! In addition, we have not been able to locate her body since that time; what further leads you to conclude that she is not alive? It is your recklessness that will ultimately lead to your demise, Sera.” Sera scoffed, “Fine! I admit that I'm a bit reckless. You, on the other hand? How could you possibly believe that I am unawar
"He's fine now, isn't he? In addition to that, we were successful in deceiving Sera into believing that the bug is still inside of him. Whew, it was a very fortunate escape." As she leaned against the wall, Elysia closed her eyes and sagged forward. She looked like she was about to fall just from standing for too long. Not only did she have dark circles and eyebags around her slanted eyes, but all of us did as well. "I am relieved that it was successful. So what comes next?" Concerned and hesitant, Xander asked with a low voice. Xander was typically so talkative, so I had never seen him exhibiting such a low profile. “We came to the conclusion that he would be the covert agent inside the manor. In light of the fact that the both of us able to interact telepathically, it would be convenient for me if he could inform us about anything that is occurring inside. Perhaps he could also give us a heads-up whenever Sera is about to organise some other scheme or something.” After removing t
CHAPTER 101AILEEN’S POVAt that moment, we were waiting for Joshua to restore his composure; for him to move his body so we could begin our plan. It has been three days since he made his initial movements, and it appears that he has regained control over his limbs and even his thoughts. Even though right now, his senses were comparable to those of a kid, he was still aware of the fact that if Sera discovered him moving, he would be in danger. By the end of the fourth day, he was already walking on his own. He was even talking to himself, asking where I was and calling my name in a quiet voice, much like a toddler would. Not only did it take everything I had to keep from crying, but it also took everything I had to keep from jumping down from where I was hiding and running to hug him and tell him all of my problems. I could hear footsteps coming towards the room, and Joshua could hear them as well. As a result, he immediately sat down in the exact position that he had been sitting in
