"Unforgivable!"Spinning around to see the voice's source, I saw a young boy walking in our direction.The silence that fell was heavy and stifling. The boy was wearing a gray t-shirt, black hoodie, and sweatpants. His black hair was slightly ruffled as if he had just woken up from being asleep until he ceased at the corner and stared at me with ineffable fury."Maybe you're the killer!" he pointed to me, and that's honestly unethical to cast me a false accusation for such a thing I never did."Marco, stop that!" a woman with short hair called out, coming over to him, her arms outstretched to stop him from making sudden movements toward me."No! A killer deserves no sympathy!" his voice rose almost hysterically."Enough, Marco! She's not a killer!" Israel placed himself between Marco and me. "You're being tactless, and that's unforgivable. Gwen is the only silver werewolf who saved me from death and my sister. So please, don't make any filthy false accusation because she's too innocen
The girl clapped her hands, coercing us to spin around, and we were both stunned when her younger self gradually changed into a man wearing a black suit and steampunk coat."I was right. You are the silver werewolf."Glancing at Israel, I heaved him an inquisitive look before we sprinted behind the tree to shift back into a human form.We strode toward the man, and I was about to speak when he lifted his hand and said, "You know who I am?" I felt my stomach sink as I glanced at Israel and saw he looked just as bewildered."I don't," I replied coldly. "You better introduce yourself now. But if it's unnecessary, then get out of our way.""Silly, you're too idiot of all the silver I've ever encountered." he laughed evilly, annoyed that my outburst exploded, and I lashed out. I caught the man off guard by punching him in the face, which made him infuriated. The momentary shock caused me to pause before I could catch my breath."Deserved," Israel remarked, chortling.We swiveled around an
It took us thirty minutes to get on our way. We stopped in front of a tree house made of steel with a ladder leading up the roof to climb up and down.The tree house was surrounded by thick shrubbery, which gave it an eerie look despite there having lights and colorful decorations strung from the trees and dangling from the roof.There's a written word carved into a board right next to the door, along with signs like "Welcome to Ladezco.""I expected this place to give me an answer, and the information must be factual. I didn't expect so little," I said, looking around at the strange trees and bushes covered in flowers and leaves. "This place was built a long time ago. Your expectation is the same as mine.""That's good."We walked for several more seconds before we veered to the corner, finally able to enter the threshold.Several bookshelves with books stacked on top of each other were lined up against the walls. It was so lovely to see that they had been well cared for. I am sure
"For every family, only one member can be a silver werewolf, and the rest are ordinary. And if two or more than that exist, the last born in the family will die. And they saved you, Gwen. Your sister agreed to surrender her blood to the enemy with a promise to go far away, so she can never cure anyone and never let blood trickle down because if you did, it would haunt your sister. A promise is a promise."I couldn't speak. My breathing became labored, becoming hard and shallow. I never thought of this reality of being so cruel and unfair. I felt like crying. What could motivate such a thing to happen to innocent people? It was unthinkable that someone like me could be a curse despite the fact I'm too naive in the ways of everyone, and yet, in my mind, there is no escape from it, and the knowledge of it hurts."How did you know all about my family? A-and why they lied?" my voice cracked from holding back tears. There was a lump stuck in my throat. This made it almost impossible for me
Matt's POVA copious amount of apprehension is what I've been restraining ever since I found out that Gwen is missing.Searching for her unceasingly, I kept checking every corner and even Alpha's residence, hoping I could find her, but the search was unsuccessful. "This isn't right. Gwen won't gamble anything without asking my consent," I said as I paced back and forth in front of her parents. I'd been trying desperately to get clues as to where she could be hidden, but my efforts were in vain."Forgive me, Mr. and Mrs. Hareya, for not being able to watch her," I apologized to her parents. I diverted my gaze toward Filomena and gave her an apologetic stare."Don't blame yourself, Matt. This is not your fault, okay?" Mrs. Hareya replied gently with a pat on my shoulder. I was relieved but still upset by this situation."Mom is right, Matt. No one wants this to happen to Gwen. We'll get to the bottom of this mess, alright?" Sister Filomena said encouragingly."And the best way is to fi
"I know you two are best friends. So I'm pretty sure there is the reason why you deduce Israel might be the reason behind this. What makes you doubt him, Beta?"Feeling perturbed, I don't want to discuss these things with anyone, not even Omega, because the answer is too confidential for anyone's ears. My heart pounds in my chest at the thought of someone other than him knowing, and I have to suppress the need to run away from this conversation. Even though he is not looking at me right now, I can feel his gaze on the back of my head, which feels like digging into my soul.When I got intrepidity, I swiveled around. "Gwen is not just a friend to me, Omega. She's like my younger sister, and I cannot forgive myself if something happens to her." I took a deep breath and resumed, "I don't mean to blame Israel for all of this. I'm just trying to think of a possible reason why Gwen might suddenly disappear.""Well, you're right," he acquiesced.We continued walking into the forest until we a
"I expected that you've learned a lot of things from reading, although most of the factual information was not easy to decipher. Some were too hard to accept, yet there were still positive aspects as well," Hailey stated, her tone serious despite the smile tugging at her lips."Thank you for this opportunity," I said sincerely. "It was quite challenging to discover those things I never thought existed.""I'd be glad to serve and help you, Gwen." her eyes sparkled with kindness. "Your parents didn't tell you much about yourself?" she asked quietly but with no judgment."No, because I used to live in solitude with no friends to rely on, just love and tranquility from my family and my best friend. I've never asked my parents about myself because it wasn't important to me. And now that I am slowly learning more details about my identity and allowed to interact with others, I don't know if I want more of them."My answer was almost automatic yet honest, and Hailey nodded."You have to, Gwe
"Your best friend loves you more than a friend."I was speechless for about half a second before I recovered and said, "I have no time for any stupid stunt, Israel.""I know it's hard to believe my words, Gwen, but I am serious about this," he stated, compelling me to stand up."Seriously, Israel? I told you I have no time for this.""There were no lies in my words, Gwen." he looked directly into my eyes. "I would never lie to you.""Then why are you telling me this?""Because I'm guilty. Matt didn't want you to be with Alpha because he wants you for himself."It took a moment for those words to register in my brain. The disbelief that came to my face lasted for nearly three seconds. And when it dawned on me what he'd just told me, I laughed bitterly at the irony in his words."Are you seriously telling me that Matt, the guy who used to tell me he loved me more than anyone ever has, is fooling me?" I crossed my arms. "It's true. Matt loves me so much because we're best friends. And he
Gwen's POV I shifted into a silver werewolf and attacked the first vampire who tried to come close to me. For every attempt of an enemy toward me, I snapped his neck with one of my claws until blood flowed freely down his throat. There was no way I would go after them without getting at least a couple of hits. I could not count how many foes I had killed today, but each one left me satisfied in ways that nothing else could. I glanced to the right side and saw my parents, Vera with Valir, fighting off five vampires at once, using their claws to slash their throats open as quickly as if they were swatting mosquitoes away. On the other side, I saw the Packs, Israel, and the other witches fighting off another group of enemies. The fairies were helping out with the battle on their end as well. The shield they were casting toward us was impenetrable against any magical attack. And it was also holding back all of the attacks and then throwing them back to the enemies. The war conti
Gwen's POV Vera stand up from the bed, wearing her purple dress made of skin-tight fabric that showed all of her curves. Valir was taken aback as if he couldn't believe that his wife is finally here in front of him. He walked toward her and caressed her face with his warm hands. "Oh god... you're alive." Vera smiled at her husband, who is now looking down on her. She wrapped her arms around Valir's neck and kissed him passionately. The tears began to form again, as Valir can feel Vera's soft lips on his and can't help but kiss back passionately, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. After a few minutes of a passionate kiss, the couple slowly parted. Both were out of breath. Vera wiped away her tears, looked at her husband lovingly, and whispered, "Who made this?" Valir pointed at me with a smile, tears of joy were visible in their eyes and I could not help but feel happy for both of them. "Gwen granted my favor. She resurrected you," Israel explained. Suddenly, Valir amb
Gwen's POV After an oath that Valir, the battle ceased. "Bring me to where she is," I said. "Can you please do it now?" he desperately asked. "Yes." Before I could accompany him, my parents and Israel talked to me first. They are worried but the witches and fairies suggested that Valir's intention was real. And I have to give a shot to end this battle with no one being harmed or killed. Afterward, the fairies, watches, and Israel decided to come with me to ensure that Valir and his companions would not gonna hurt her. I know they all are worried for me. They also know there was another way to end this war. And that is to do this man's favor. Currently, we were walking into the forest surrounded by numerous huge trees that seemed to be ancient. The air around us was not polluted but somehow different from the usual forest. We walked slowly as the gust of wind blew at us gently. It didn't seem to bother us but the forest itself was weirdly quiet. I could sense a stink in th
Gwen's POV"My wife is dead, and I want to resurrect her."The moment Valir said those words, I felt sad for him, not only because he lost a woman who meant the world to him, but also because of the bitter fact that he chose to become evil. "You want her back?" I asked him as I strode a few steps. He nodded. "Then why do you have to kill numerous innocent creatures in this land? Why do you have to watch in your own eyes how hard they suffer? Why do you keep spreading cruelty when there's a way to become one of us!""That's the only way to resurrect my wife! You know nothing about my pain!""I know your pain. I lost someone because of you! I lost my sister and my best friend!" I yelled with all anger as I remembered everything. "I will tell you now, Valir... you can never resurrect your wife no matter how numerous creatures or silver werewolves you kill!""How could you deduce that?!""Because only my kind... can give another life!""Then why don't you heal your sister if that's tru
Gwen's POVIn just an instant where we emerged outside my house. The view that greeted us was too unexpected.Everyone was having a massive fight with our enemies. "Gwen! Careful in every way!" Israel warned before he attacked the black werewolves. He is a half-witch and half werewolf but he prefers fighting in a human form where he can use his magic to kill.I scanned the entire surrounding and realized that even my parents were currently in a fight. The enemy is many, and I couldn't count them all by hand. They're running around everywhere, making everything worse.I hide behind the thick bush and quickly transformed into my silver wolf form. I ran at full speed towards where they were fighting. In just a blink of an eye, I'm among them and immediately attacked the wolves attacking Rini. Since I am silver, I can take out three or four of the enemies. One of the remaining creatures decided it was time to attack my father and so I dashed and jumped on him. I bit down on his neck wit
Gwen's POV"I wanna show you something to you, Gwen. If you're into it, close your eyes."My curiosity became even more heightened with the mention of what could happen. My heart started beating faster and the cold air around me started to become chilly as well. This was it. I closed my eyes and waited.After the briefest second had passed I felt someone's hand taking mine and guiding me. "Don't open unless I say so.""Sure."We stopped moving for about ten seconds. Some noises echoed around us in the air. The sound of a peaceful night where birds chirped at the moon's reflection off the calm lake water. My eyes were still closed but my lips curled into a moon crescent."Now, open your eyes."My eyes immediately opened. We were no longer standing outside the house. Instead, we were standing in a place completely different from anything I'd ever seen. It looked like we were in an underground cavern or a cave under a rock somewhere. Everything seemed extremely bright as if a light bul
Gwen's POVHere I am outside the house, conversing with my allies. The Aqua Rune Pack, fairies, witches, and the other subordinates who support us in this messy journey of mine. The truth that I'd been hiding for quite a long time was now revealed. All of them knows I was a silver werewolf and my blood can both heal and kill. This ability was given to only a few creatures and despite its advantage of it, I can't help but feel guilty especially with the fact that this ability failed to save my sister. For the very first time in my history, I felt like mucky trash because of that. But all I could do to make my sister happy was to keep fighting and be the best version of myself.While we were occupied chatting with one another, one of the fairies floated in the air as if she needs to convey important matters."Another battle will soon break out between us and vampires" she began. "We need to be vigilant."I was stunned to hear those declarations and another pang struck me in the chest.
Gwen's POVIt was early in the morning when I woke up and got up from bed to start my day. I glanced at my side only to see that Alpha wasn't here with me. Soon as my gaze diverted to the bedside table next to where I was lying on it I could see a glass of water sitting there along with a note written in her messy cursive. 'Good morning. You must have been tired since you first encountered the real life of a silver werewolf, so I didn't wake you up. You've done so many things for us and me. It's my turn, my luna. I love you.'I gasped lightly feeling a lump form in the back of my throat before wiping away my tears. I sat up and grabbed the glass of water and gulped it down without hesitation. After putting the empty glass back on the side table.Where did he go?I walked out and went to the kitchen downstairs. "Good morning, sweetheart." mom approached and kissed me on the forehead. I smiled softly at her and nodded. My mother has always taken care of me. From the beginning, she did
Gwen's POVTwo have passed ever since my sister was killed by one of our greatest foes. I don't feel anything other than the sorrow of losing someone so dear to me and I know that my parents feel the same pain as well.The exact scene of how the black werewolf slain her was still vivid in my mind like a nightmare and if it's just a dream, then I want to wake up. But it isn't. She's dead and now there is nothing left for me but grief and the guilt I've been carrying around with me. Every time I recollected our memories together, it always brought up fresh tears that would fall from my eyes and I didn't even bother wiping them away. I just wanted to relish everything even if that means torturing myself with the fact that it was just a memory that will not be able to happen again. I couldn't help but blame myself for what happened because I knew that I should have done something to save her but I was so dumb. I tried my very best to heal her that time but it didn't work. This was the v
