"Well, because I thought I might be your mate."At first, I expected him to scoff at me. I should have known better; he was not one to mock someone like me with that kind of matter. But instead, he smiled, albeit a small one, and laughed suddenly. "Just kidding!"The apprehension that kept bubbling inside vanished as it quickly changed into a sigh, and I laughed slightly to conceal my emotion."The truth is I have never wished to have such. The only person who has made me happy was you." there was no indication of lies the moment he conveyed those words, just sincerity."And that's also the thing I told Alpha earlier. That you and my family are paramount of all."He nodded, clearly satisfied by my utterances. I continued walking, but then I was forced to stop when he called my name again, causing me to turn around and face him. "Yes?""Just in case you don't feel good about staying with the Alpha's house, feel free to tell me. I'll find a way to help you."His eagerness could be seen
"If you are willing to be close to her, you should start by supporting whatever she does. If she goes anywhere, it would be aloof of you not to be there."I was impressed by Matt. The way he emitted those words with bravery in front of the Alpha, I could sense how resolute he was to protect me. Matt guided me consistently since day one. For him, he'd rather stay by my side in the middle of peril than question my stubbornness by leaving me unattended."Thanks for letting me know." Alpha Ace deviated his gaze at me, acknowledging my best friend's utterances.*****SITTING in front of the Alpha was one of the most unnerving occurrences that happened to me, not because I was afraid of him but because of the possible upshot that might transpire during the conversation. I was currently depleting my time listening to his explications as I tried not to be rude."Please, let me know next time, okay? I want you safe, Gwen.""You don't have to reiterate that to me, Alpha. Matt wants me safe too
How does it feel to be a normal werewolf without versatile blood and healing ability? How does it feel to have the liberty to live wherever I want without worrying about my future?WAKING up to the sound of noise is what I despise the most. I grew up in solitude, and if I will define my life, the right word is tranquility.I stood up, yawning as it was still early in the morning. I left the room and stopped in the middle of the staircase to check the source. From there, I could see Alpha Ace with his parents conversing with their faces so earnestly that a sudden disturbance caught their attention.Matt?"Alpha, our subordinates were attacked by the black wolves. They need us!" Matt said an urgency as he halted at the door."What happened?!""Omega was waiting for us to be there. And according to him, they managed to stop them. Some were injured, but no one died. However, they all need immediate medical attention.""We'll help you," Mr. Rivo said."But what about Gwen?" Mrs. Athena ask
“Silver werewolves are not real, Alpha. They only exist in folklore and legends,” I said as I strived to kick him in the ribs, but he was too fast for me, and he avoided the attack. I stamped my foot on the ground and cursed a bit under my breath in frustration.“How can you tell?” Alpha Ace questioned me with a smirk on his face. We had been doing the training since we woke up this morning.“I just know it,” I stated without enunciating further explanation.“But what makes you say that?” his question made me pause from moving. I don’t know why he kept asking these questions when I explicated everything to him for at least three minutes. It was starting to annoy me quite a lot. “What made me know that silver werewolves aren’t real?” I reiterated with a severe glare and stepped toward him. “It’s because that was just some sort of fantasy, the absence which has caused a huge misconception about their existence. If they were real, robust creatures would try to find them instead of makin
"Sister Filomena?" I called out as I opened the window.She looked up and smiled at me, but then the smile on my lips faded when I noticed how bizarre she looked."Are you okay?" I questioned while sitting down on the windowsill. I couldn't see her looking like this often, primarily since I'd known her for years. Her hair was unbound, which was unusual for me."Sister? Are you okay?" I reiterated, but she didn't respond; instead, she hurled a creepy smile that perplexed me."What happened? Come here," I said, motioning her to come over, but then she spun around."Wait! Sister!" I called out once more; then I scurried outside the room; soon as I reached downstairs, I bumped into someone's chest and realized it was Alpha Ace.He quickly grabbed me before I hit the ground from my fall. "Sorry," I mumbled."No, it's fine. What happened to you?" he asked, but his face dropped slightly in amusement after seeing my attire.His eyes went to the edge of the dress, then moved to my bare arms,
Alpha Ace's POV WORRIED before the five minutes went out, I kept on finding Gwen unceasingly. My emotion kept rising as I continued roaming the forest, but I heard noises from a distance. The closer I got to the source, the harder my heart was hammering inside my chest. The further I came, it felt like my feet were dragging behind me, and soon I reached a clearing where a group of people was gathered with their backs turned to me. They were all wearing black robes that covered them from head to toe until they revealed their faces. "Who are you?" I asked as I walked up towards them. No one answered. Their eyes stayed focused on me until one of them stepped forward. It was evident in her feature that she had a powerful aura, the way her eyes gleamed with such power gave me the feeling that I had done something wrong. "It doesn't matter who we are; if you want us gone so bad, you must heed my words." "I hope that didn't sound too rude because I'm not really in the mood for games," I
Gwen's POV "I want you to stay with me and help me fight whatever danger lurks. I need you here beside me because your presence gives me the strength I'll need when everything starts crumbling like a house of cards. You calm my soul, Alpha." Remaining hushed for a second, Alpha Ace was striving hard to think what appropriate choice he should make as he stood for his mate. Until he got an idea, he opted for something that had been the best option for him. "My willingness to help you was never a question, but no, Gwen." My eyes widened before narrowing into slits in disgruntled. "You refused my favor? Seriously? Your mate?" Pulling myself away from him, I tried to calm my breathing. The thought of him not acquiescing to my request had caused my chest to constrict painfully. "I won't allow you to take more risks than necessary. No more fights, Gwen." Hearing those words made me even more aggravated. "Are you insane? You think I'm not strong enough to handle myself, huh?" "That's n
"We will be having a simple night party tomorrow. You'll meet our subordinates, and your family will be there too."SURVEYING myself in front of the mirror, I am wearing a red gothic dress with a deep V-Neck. The top has long sleeves that are pulled up to my elbows. I have on black heels and matching red lipstick, and my hair is down as usual. My makeup is subtle but still noticeable enough.It is not my style, but I need it to look good at tonight's party. I needed to look comfortable because there were many visitors, and looking elegant was paramount.While I was getting ready, someone tossed a crumpled paper from outside the window that landed on the floor next to me.A smile crept to my lips when I realized who had thrown it. It's Matt.Throwing a note is nothing new between us. It all began when I was alone in the forest. I was playing at the back of our house when Matt showed up. Overflowing trepidation is what I felt when I saw him because of the thought that maybe he was a mo
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
