Gwen's POV"Careful, okay?" I mumbled to Israel as he carefully stood up from the bed. I was still lying with a blanket that covered half of my body.It's already evening, and at the same time, it is the perfect time to explore the castle without being noticed by anyone, especially from Mojerio.Slowly, he walked toward the frame door and was about to go when he abruptly veered around and strode before me. "Do you still memorize the phrase of incantation?""Yes. Don't worry." I smiled to reassure him. I thought he would go, but then he stayed as if he wanted to say something; unfortunately, an invisible force kept preventing him from doing so."Are you… nervous?" I asked. "Do you want me to come with you?""No, it's fine. You're probably exhausted." he smiled — a smile that showed how much effort he was putting in. He had protected me just as he promised after saving his young sister. "Please, take care."He nodded. "I shall take my leave. And if anything happens or anyone tries to b
It was Delphine, the leader of Ereje.The only thing that could be seen in her countenance was pure hatred and spite."Did I scare you, Gwen?" she asked, glaring at me with a dagger. "Why do you seem terrified? Is it because all of you believed I was dead?"I gasped upon hearing those words. She was right; all of us thought she was dead. But now that she was in front of me, alive and well and not a ghost in any sense. Perhaps it was because of the dark spell over her, but my heart still gave a little skip at the sight of her again. And she saw it, too. "How can your heart give such a reaction?" she asked, clearly enjoying how her presence impacted me. "Don't tell me you are scared." her gaze hardened on me. "Or maybe even more than normal… and you're afraid of his death."Those words were like poison to my ears. Before she could convey any further words, I quickly turned around and was about to run to find Israel. Suddenly, an invisible force stopped me mid-step.I could move my body
I walked into the middle of the aisle while tears flowed down my cheeks. With a candle in my hand, my eyes were focused on its burning light as I gradually strode. It's been two hours since we agreed on our deal to let go and set Israel free. Delphine threw him out of the castle, and I had no idea what exactly happened to him. One thing for sure now that I'm willing to do is to surrender my blood because that's the good thing I could take. The place is filled with candles resting on every corner, black petals shattered on the floor, and creepy sounds coming from the voices of those black women currently standing on both sides. I had no idea what would happen next. My fate relies on my true identity, and now that I'm about to transfer it to another being, it made me wonder about the upshot. Is this the apogee of my life? Does surrendering my blood means embracing my demise? 'What's the point of worrying, Gwen? You chose, and that's it,' my wolf side inside me retorted. 'Just to rem
Alpha Ace's POV Why did you let her alone?!" I shouted at Israel after hearing what happened. Delphine threw him out of the realm while Gwen was left there. She surrendered her blood without asking for our consent. "It's her choice. And I didn't let her alone. Do you think I can do that to her?" "I don't know," I said firmly, stepping closer to him. "But I doubt." "You don't have to, Ace. I'm a real friend to your mate. I won't do anything to harm her," he argued, trying to convince me, but it's really hard to trust. Silence lingered for a moment, and I honestly couldn't believe this nonsensical news from him. We were in our backyard, conversing about what had happened to Gwen. "And you don't plan to tell us the truth?" a voice from behind startled us both, making us turn around. "It was mom and dad." "What's the purpose anyway?" I asked. "If you can't accept my mate, you might as well let me find her alone." The look on their faces was enough of an indication of how they f
Alpha Ace's POVIt's Zak. The Alpha of Aqua Rune Pack. The one whom my father has entrusted with a lot of the responsibilities and duties of a leader.His presence made him stand out from the rest of the pack. His dark hair, pale complexion, and muscular form only add to the beauty radiating from him."He's my friend," Zak explained, causing the man to hide behind the tree and shift into a human. The man showed up, and I was right because his face was not familiar to me. "I'm sorry for making such a scene," he apologized. "My name is Lucas."He lent his right hand over to me, and I took it hesitantly. "I'm Ace, the Alpha of Sprew Moon Pack.""Forgive him, Ace. He was a new member of the pack, and he hasn't been able to adjust to the change yet." "That's alright," I replied. "I understand what it feels like to be confused. I understand it's hard for you to adapt to your new environment." "Thank you." Lucas smiled slightly at my reply.Our short meeting went better than I expected u
Alpha Ace's POV"Holy shit!"It was Gwen, barely breathing as if Delphine had punished her severely. The dark purple bruises were already visible, along with her scratched face.It only took us a few moments for us to understand the situation. Gwen was severely beaten up, and it was clear that Delphine wanted her to suffer.I just found myself brimming with tears; my knees suddenly gave out and made me fall to the ground, sobbing heavily. "This is unethical!" I yelled angrily as my tears kept streaming down. My hands quivered as I held Gwen in a tight embrace. "Tell me this is not true, Israel!"I looked at him with pure misery.Without hesitation, we pulled the fabric away from Gwen's face revealing an even more dreadful sight than before. The skin on the right side of her neck was completely ripped open. Her lips were chapped and bleeding. She wasn't conscious. She was unconscious.Suddenly, I remembered his promise last time. I pulled his collar forcefully. "You said you would pro
Alpha Ace's POVThe morning is cold, and the sun is shining, but there's a dark cloud. It looks like rain, but there are no clouds in sight. I was standing solemnly staring at the dark grey clouds for about five minutes until my gaze redirected to Gwen, who was now lying on the bed. She was still unconscious, but her breathing showed she wasn't dead. I sat down next to her and gently stroked her cheek with the back of my hand before I leaned forward to kiss her forehead. I glanced at her for the second time and mumbled, "Can you please wake up and be okay?" I tried my tears not to fall any more, but I failed miserably. "Please, Gwen. Please just open your eyes." I whispered desperately to myself before I looked up again, "I don't understand how this can happen. This is unforgivable."With that, I stood up and kissed her, devoured by my love. After that, I decided to go inside and let her family take care of her and give me some space for a little while. The only thing that could le
Alpha Ace's POV We've been walking into the forest for almost two hours. We haven't seen anyone except for a few birds who occasionally fly across our path. Just like my emotional state, the weather seems dull and depressing, which doesn't make any sense. The sky is still bright, so nothing should be raining or snowing. It just feels like there is something wrong. Everything feels off, as if everything was supposed to turn bad. And when I strived to fathom what precisely it was, the answer remained empty. Suddenly, the wind starts to pick up. The clouds in the sky started getting darker and darker, and I swear I could hear thunder rolling behind them. But we have to keep going, for goodness sake. "Do you think the fairies will agree?" I asked Zak who was walking silently with me. Zak shrugged. "They might." "But do you believe they would?" "Yeah, they probably would, but it's our only chance. Even if the fairies refuse to join us, it's better than doing nothing. We'll try to co
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
