"Do you miss me, Gwen?" she asked me, sneering.I tried so hard to tie my uneasiness. There's no way I can let myself fall for her tricks again. She strode in with a confident stride as if this were her home. "Are you lost or looking for something?" her smile when those words fled her lips was so irritating it almost made me sick, but I held back the urge. "I should be the one asking you that," I said, taking a step toward her. "What do you want?" my fingers twitch as if itching to grab onto the side of my clothes. Her smile grew bigger than before. "As far as I know, you came from a lousy grave. From the most stupid place on land. So why are you here?"I stopped before the puddle of dirty water and glanced at her hideous face. A few seconds passed, and she didn't answer, just staring at me with her smirk growing wider, even until my face started burning. I knew better than to look away because she'd probably start laughing at my misery. She knew well why I was here and would take
Gwen's POV"Did you just throw me?" I asked in disbelief, staring at my hands as they shook where I'd been thrown off the floor. I stood up and fixed myself up. When I looked up, he was smirking like it was no big deal. "Wake up, please!"He didn't respond. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me, pulled me aggressively to the wall, and pinned my hands above my head, preventing me from moving.With his weight pressed down on me, I tried to remain calm and focused on what I needed to do next. I stared into those dark, intense eyes that were now boring into my soul and said quietly, "Please, wake up. It's me, Gwen."My words seemed to lose meaning when he leaned closer, his face inches away from mine. He was breathing very hard, his chest rising and falling with rapid, shallow breaths as if he'd run a long distance. His gaze locked with mine, and even though he was looking me right in the eyes, I didn't feel any warmth or intimacy when I looked back at him. There is somethi
I woke up to the touch of someone's hand on my neck. Soon as my eyes popped open, I was greeted by the face of Lily. Her countenance was filled with worry but drastically altered once she saw I was awake. Her lips curled into a smile, and her eyes brightened like a glistening star."Finally," she whispered in relief. But when my mind flooded back to the scenario earlier, my body moved automatically, propelling me to sit up."Where's Alpha? Why I'm here?" I rubbed my eyes, trying to regain my bearings. "You need time and rest, Gwen." "No. He needs me. They need me," I insisted. My chest heaved from exertion; my limbs felt stiff and heavy. "Where is he? Please.""Don't be so reckless, Gwen. You must consider your actions.""But he needs protection, Lily. You've witnessed how Delphine wreaks havoc, and she will never stop until she destroys me. Everything I treasure will surely be at risk if she finds out where I am." my hands fisted around the sheets, pulling them off of myself. Li
Walking through the forest as dusk was coming, we made our way through a small clearing, past a couple of pines that seemed to be trying in vain to make themselves stand taller. Lily decided to avoid using magic so Delphine would not sense our presence in the air. Currently, we were striding solemnly. A breeze from the west was blowing, and the only sounds were birds chirping and owls' distant cawing. I didn't notice that we already saw Alpha Ace's residence until Lily halted behind the thick trunk of an old oak tree and grabbed my arm to face her. "You know what to do, Gwen.""Yeah. Thanks for your reminder, Lily. You must be careful too.'' And with that, she walked away, disappearing among the trees. I was all alone now. I took a deep breath and turned around.There were numerous visitors from various packs and clans scattered around this area. They were chatting, relishing the foods being served on the tables around Alpha Ace's home, and drinking wine. All these different people
Gwen's POV"Rafaella!"I jerked my head to the source of the voice and felt a shock wash over me when I saw my best friend standing from a distance. His eyes flared with anger which cannot be easy to decipher.I stood backward when he advanced further, but his arms were raised towards me, and in an instant, they snapped forward and closed around my waist before any physical force could be applied. I had no time to react or think as I was hauled into the air. My body was thrown over one arm and held tightly in place while I watched with wide eyes in surprise as he stalked towards me like some kind of evil beast. "What's wrong with you, Matt?!" I quickly stood up on my own feet and tried to put space between us, but he grabbed me again by the hair and pulled hard. "Tell me, where is Gwen?!"His question was enough to wake me from reality. I almost forgot that my entire appearance wasn't the real me; that's why Matt couldn't recognize me. "Please, let me go!" I tried so hard to pull fr
Gwen's POV I woke up to the touch of the breeze on my skin. It sent a pleasant tingle running through me as I opened my eyes. I sat upright and looked around. I was inside the cabin, and my room was well-organized. The floor was wooden, and there were two windows at the end, one facing west and the other looking out over the lake. Where the hell am I? This place was unfamiliar. I stood up and went straight to the window, only to see that this cabin was located in front of a wonderful forest, but not the place I used to be from. This forest had more trees than there were leaves, and this part of it felt more soothing than any of the forests I had been in before. But then the question is, where am I now? The last thing I remembered was the scenario I had with Matt and how I lost consciousness after being bitten by him. "I'm glad you're awake," said a voice nearby. I turned and saw a beautiful lady looking at me in front of the door frame. "Where are we?" my voice sounded like sa
Gwen's POVI am wearing a white dress of thin layers of lace and satin that cling to my body tightly in the front, making me look like an angel who'd fallen from heaven.This dress is the usual clothes of my kind— the silver werewolves that are currently living in this place. We all have the outfit, and it's not too bad to have it; the women are stunning in their dresses, and their long hair is held off their faces in beautiful updos. At the same time, men are just as fine if you ask me. But the fact of the matter is that I feel out of place here in spite of being one of them; my presence could not find something that will match the entire atom of my being.We were walking around the forest, and it was different than anywhere else I'd ever seen. It's like a paradise hidden amongst humans. The sky was a light blue, with only a few puffy clouds in sight. There were lots of giant trees, flowers in different colors, and plants on almost every side of us. They're all blooming and growing
Gwen's POVMany hours went by after I had a short conversation with Godric. We talked a lot for almost one hour, and I couldn't decipher, but his presence palliated my blazing sentiment. His perspective and how he spoke and looked at things made me comfortable with everything he said. The world looked brighter for having Godric near. His voice made the darkness of my existence vanish into oblivion. He gave me somehow light to make me feel more positive when my mind was dark. I was sitting alone in front of a giant tree as I watched the waterfalls cascading into the lake. The birds and beasts were still occupied doing their business in nature. In other words, I am currently scanning the beauty of nature.I was relishing the view when a sudden voice interrupted me from behind."Hi, Gwen!"I turned around, only to face a beautiful woman wearing the same dress as mine."I'm Rana. I've heard you love reading, so I brought a book for you, and I hope you like them." she strode toward me and
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
