Chapter 94 AUTHOR’S POV “Ugh…” Aileen groaned as she opened her eyes. It was dark, and there were patches of grass right under her feet. It tucked her bare feet so much that she giggled and drew her legs closer. “Wait, grass?” Aileen murmured to herself as she used her hands to feel the ground and indeed, it was grass. “Did someone kidnap me?” She asked herself and looked around. It was pitch black, like she was in a metal cage of some sort. But she wasn't moving and she couldn't smell anything other than grass. “What is this place?” She asked aloud and closed her eyes. The breeze caressed her cheeks and her hair fluttered in the wind, it was a pretty sight to behold. “Maya?” ‘Yes? What do you need? Wait, why are you here?’ Aileen's wolf asked in shock. “I was thinking you could answer that question too.” Aileen noticed that Maya didn't ask where she was, she asked why she was here. “Do you know where this is?” ‘It looks like the border between the land of the living and of
Chapter 95 AUTHOR'S POV"No!! " Aileen let out a scream, her eyes turning white as her strength erupted from her body and filled the air with waves of electrical energy. Her body started to contort and turn, and her hands were stretched out in front of her as if she was attempting to hold something, her fingers curled as well. The three girls held on tightly to the barrier that they had constructed around her with all their might. In the event that they let go or even stopped supplying power to it, even if it was by accident, her abilities could suddenly manifest and warn Sera, enabling them to determine their whereabouts. Even though they had no idea what was wrong with her, they continued to hold on to the barrier as Aileen continued to scream throughout the entire ordeal. "Elysia! How do you get in touch with her? There is something wrong with her!” Sia yelled, but her voice was nearly completely obscured by the billowing wind that had begun to glow about Aileen. In spite of the
Chapter 96AUTHOR'S POV “So? Did you find anything useful in the seer's place?” Sera asked, she fixed her large blue eyes on Terry. Instead of answering her, the man looked away and didn't say anything. “What? Are you angry now? Because I asked you to help me check the seer's place? Oh come on now, Terry. You promised to help me.” Terry grimaced, his dark eyes narrowed slightly and his brows furrowed, “Helping you doesn't mean you have to send me to search for junk and scrap for you! If you need to do something like that, send someone else! Even that puppet over there will do, he does nothing other than sit there all day long after all.” “Oh come on, Terry! I'm doing this for the both of us! We killed the old geezer and took control of his powers, even your right hand man, what's his name again? Osiris or something, he died in the fight and helped us get control! We are on our way to having the world at our feet! Don't tell me it's just because of what I asked that's making you gr
Chapter 97AILEEN'S POV Hah... hah... " I yawned in exhaustion. As a result of all of these memories and nightmares, I was so fatigued that I was unable to sleep for a considerable amount of time. The speed with which they arrived caused me to question whether or not they were in fact my own recollections. I was a young child when all of these events took place; therefore, it is not necessary for me to be aware of them nor am I supposed to have them in my memories so someone must be sending them to me."Well, you did state that you want to understand the rationale behind Sera's behaviour and what motivated her, so I guess you got what you wanted. Also, with the fact that it would be a terrific idea to exercise control over your abilities because right now, the barrier is being broken and even if one ounce of your power slips out of this barrier, it would alert Sera!!"Earlier today was yet another day in which I had a memory or, more accurately, a dream. As a result of my feelings, m
Chapter 98 AILEEN'S POV “Elysia! Sia! Berry! Lia! Where are you guys?” I was shrouded in mist and miasma. My throat hurt, it was as if I had swallowed dust and debris. “Aileen, where are you?!” “Over here!” I yelled after I heard them call my name. I could hear them, but they couldn't hear me. “Where am I anyway, is this another dream?” I asked myself, as I walked further and further. I found myself in yet another battlefield and the sight in front of me scared me. There I was, in the middle of the field, with a sword in my hand and an evil smirk on my face. I was killing people, not the bad guys. I was killing the people I had ruled over. I looked on in horror as the sword I… she held slashed the necks of so many people. Joshua was on the ground, his face was pale. And so was everyone I knew, they were all dead. I had killed them. “Aileen! Aileen, wake up! Wake up!” Berry shook me awake and with a start, I almost jumped up from the bed.“What happened?”“It looked like you wer
Chapter 99AILEEN'S POV He was the one. He was the one who bestowed those abilities upon Vivian, those powers that enticed her, exploited her own greed and used it against her. It was because he wanted me to join their side that he gave me the advice to battle Vivian with evil abilities. He wanted me to get consumed by those powers and then lure me in. On the other hand, what about the mission that he was talking about? The one he was talking about accomplishing in the palace, was that me too? He planned this all out from the beginning.That he has feelings for me? It is possible that I was aware of it. That's not true; I was aware of it without a doubt; nevertheless, was there anything I needed to do about it? It was obvious that I had a companion, a partner, a mate.One that I clearly cherished. I conveyed to him in a subtle manner that I would never like him but I also depended primarily and significantly on my actions, and that I believed I had adequately communicated my feeling
Chapter 100AILEEN'S POV“The end of the story. It's been a rather long ride, considering all that took place while you have been away.” In a normal situation, Xander would have used his words to defuse the tension, but he chose not to do so because he was deeply engaged in his own thoughts. “It was not my expectation that things would turn out this way because of the same individuals who had been keeping an eye on you. I was under the impression that it was something that we would be able to control in a short amount of time; nevertheless, it seems like I was completely mistaken.”While he stroked his forehead, Xander let out a sigh. Berry was sitting next to him, their shoulders touching and one of his palms was around hers, like he was afraid she'd disappear. His actions made me miss Joshua more. “Although everything has been completed with little to no loopholes, there is still more that we can do in order to fight back, and that is what we are in the process of doing. The fact
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
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
