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 77 AILEEN’S POV Sera took a deep breath before continuing her words, “You, Luna Aileen, hold the power to unite the Silver Wolf Clan and bring it to its former glory but there are others who do not want that and as a result, will do anything to make sure that you either die or you will be spared and used for their own purpose.” Joshua and I exchanged skeptical glances and I inwardly groaned. So now, I didn’t just have the masked man trying to kill me, I also have others following me too. I didn’t quite trust Sera yet but we need to keep her closer, just like that council members said. “I do not expect blind trust from anyone here, Luna, I just want to make sure that nothing happens while our clan is being rebuilt and I will protect you and gradually, you’ll see that I am saying the truth.” Her words made me want to trust her, but I couldn’t, not just yet and I had every reason too. I and Joshua stood up to leave and I said to her, “Someone will come to escort you to your r
CHAPTER 78AILEEN’S POVAs the air in the building where the seer lived was filled with the aroma of herbs that were being burned, it produced a very reassuring aura that almost caused me to forget about all that had occurred over the course of the previous few days. The old seer was seated a few steps away from me, her white hair pulled into a complicated but not overly heavy hairdo, and her eyes, which were filled with knowledge, were staring at me. I eagerly expected her instruction and words of wisdom in relation to the question that I had just placed, and I waited with great anticipation. It wasn't until she had completed applying the herbs to the legs of a man who had been hurt that she actually responded to me."Child, I am unable to assist you in determining the significance of this dream; it is something that you are responsible for figuring out on your own. On the other hand, you do have someone who can assist you; this person is someone who also experiences dreams, and she
CHAPTER 79JOSHUA’S POV"How are you feeling?" I inquired of Aileen, who responded by shaking her head. She reached me telepathically a while ago, and although her voice was calm, I could sense the frightened undertone coming through in her voice. Someone had passed away unexpectedly while she was in the village, and she felt regretful that she was unable to stop it from happening. However, who could have prevented it? Nobody was prepared for it. "Luna Aileen, would you mind if we asked you a few questions?" At that moment, one of the warriors took a step forward and bowed to both of us. "Go on," Aileen said with a nod. "Are you aware of the circumstances surrounding this event? What were you doing at the time when this took place?" The warrior began to inquire, and I couldn't help but twitch my lips. Was he under the impression that Aileen was connected to the events that were taking place? Despite the fact that she was aware of how angry I was, Aileen held my hands and urged me t
CHAPTER 80 AUTHOR'S POV "What have you discovered thus far? The dead body had abruptly dried up, and there was nothing left of it! Nothing, not even his bones!" When one of the medics saw the dried-up body that was lying on the slab, she cried, "It hadn't even been a day yet, and his body had already turned to dust!" "What made that even conceivable? It is the first time I have ever witnessed something like this, but it is strikingly similar to the skills that Luna Aileen possesses. The manner in which she cleanses bad energy from individuals from the inside out is quite remarkable, now don't look at me like that, I didn't mention that I thought of Luna Aileen as the one who did this!" "To put it another way, that is precisely what you are indicating!" Another argument escalated into a full-fledged squabble. One of the healers stood alone with her arms folded and her gaze fixed on the clump of dirt that was lying on the slab. It was a man who approached her and asked, "What are
Chapter 81 AILEEN'S POV I and Joshua took the lead, our legs and nose led us to the courtyard. It was bare, no one in sight but it was eerie. Silent, someone was watching us. “Be careful, we're being watched.” I whispered to Joshua. He nodded and we stood with our backs touching. The trees moved and the sound of someone stepping on branches echoed in the air. Wind whooshed and suddenly, someone was standing in front of us. Dressed in a black cloak, her dark silver hair was carried out by the wind. It's her. “You're the killer. What is your mission.” I asked, falling into a fighting stance. “Ah… straight to the point, I like it. Although, I'm a bit hurt that you referred to me as a killer. I only did that to get your attention.” “What?” I asked, shocked, “You were killing people to get my attention?” I asked in horror, the girl nodded. “Of course. Now, don't look at me like that. I really enjoyed it, and the best part is, I didn't get blood on me!” Now, I am pissed off. But I
Chapter 82 AILEEN'S POV “My lady, Alpha Joshua is waiting for you at the dining table, he wants to have breakfast with you.” Lila walked into the room, her coat draped over her shoulders and her eyes looked a little swollen, like she had just woken up. “Lila, are you okay?” I asked and she rubbed her eyes and yawned. “Oh, yes. I stayed awake trying to figure out how those men were killed so I didn't have enough rest.” Guilt ate at me, it was my fault that those men were killed. I had to figure out a way to resist Elysia and at the same time, save my people. “Alright. Have a good rest, I'll head to the dining room.” I stood up and made my way to the dining room, I never ceased to be amazed by the way it was built. A familiar and unwelcome scent entered my nose and I turned my head to the woman who was sitting close to Joshua, on the chair to his right, my eyes narrowed. What was she doing here? However, I didn't say anything and instead, sat down. The servants served th
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
