Chapter 64

Mia's POV

Mason was holding Lycidas's sword to the light and though I could only see his profile, I could see he was very distracted by the sword and didn't even know he had said something wrong.

I had to quickly go redeem the situation. I wasn't sure of the reason why, but I wasn't ready to admit to Lycidas that I was Mia. Not yet.

At least, till this business with prophecies is cleared up.

I stepped out of the shadows into the cave. Mason was so engrossed he didn't even notice my presence. But Lycidas did. He turned to me, and there was a look on his face. A glow.

The same one that had been there when he told us that he had come so we would help him find Mia. The guy seemed very eager to find this Mia, and somehow, it made me even less willing to reveal myself.

"Hey, seems Mason knows this Mia we're talking about," he said to me, his eyes glinting.

"Is that true?" I directed the question at Mason in a very pointed voice. He snapped out of the daze and looked at me i

    Chapter 65Mabel's POVI saw the way his face scrunched, and could almost follow the calculations in his eyes as he debated whether to fight me or not. I couldn't risk a fight in his own castle, and even if I could, I wouldn't. It would jeopardize my mission. So I quickly dipped my hand into the bag I carried and brought out an olive leaf. "Peace," I whispered. His face scrunched up even more, his eyes narrowed and my muscles tensed. I reached down to my wolf, ready to make my escape the moment he made a dangerous move. "If you came in peace, why is my guard lying in blood inside there?" he said, jabbing a finger at the door of the study behind him. I suppressed a sigh. "I had no choice. The guy was like a pest —" his eyebrows shot up, though his face remained scrunched. "- he wouldn't let me go, despite my repeated offerings of peace," I explained. His face instantly relaxed, and he actually smiled. "I can relate to that. Come in," he turned and walked into the study he had j

    Mabel's POV"You came in peace, didn't you?" Hazel snarled at me, glaring at the three newcomers. I almost burst with frustration. I bit my tongue to stop myself from screaming at them. What were they thinking coming here? Did they think they could escape from this castle once they came in? Now, it would be even easier for Hazel to track us if he wants. "Well, that's alright with me, really," Hazel grinned evilly, still glaring at the three rash brats who have already started cowering. Well, just Mabel, really, but Mason is covering her protectively, so it looks like he too is also cowering. "I've been looking for new subjects for my experiments," Hazel said, flexing his claws. I gave him a sharp look. Experiments? I've come to associate the word with unpleasant messing with the inner wolf by the Silver Hands. Didn't he say he has nothing to do with the Silver Hands? But this was not the time to wonder though."What are you three doing here?" I grit out at them through clenched te

    Mia's POVWe raced through the bushes till I almost fell down from lack of air. We were in the garden behind the castle, trying to escape from the guards that had trailed us as we rushed through the castle hallways on our way to escaping."I don't like this," I panted as we took yet another turn, trying to lose the guards. "We shouldn't leave Mabel just like that," They remained silent while we crashed through the bushes, till we finally came to a clump that was thick and high enough for us to hide in. No one talked till the guards rushed past us, obviously thinking we were still up ahead. "Now is a good time to go back," I repeated. "Whatever guards are left would be low on their guards now,""You really are a dummy, aren't you?" Lycidas gritted out. "Can't you see they looked like they were having a friendly conversation before we butted in?" Mason was more gentle. "We might have put her in trouble," he said gently. "We would only be distractions if we go back now," "I —" I star

    Mia's POV"Told you it's pointless," I said bitingly as I caught up to Lycidas and Mason. My temper was helped by the way my step parents had just dismissed Lycidas, and me by extension, which was cold to say the least.My father: You're looking for Mia? What the hell are you looking for that trash for, son? I don't know if you met her or heard about her instead, but she will do nothing but bring shame to you, son. Find another woman," With that, he turned and never spoke to us again. My mother: Oh, you don't eat corpses, do you? Because she's probably dead somewhere in the forest. But in case you eat very unpleasant corpses, which is what she would be now, winter's coming, so she might still be fresh. Just search the woods well," All the while, I had been in the shadows, trying to stop myself from leaping at them and digging out their hearts. "Do you have anything that has her scent then? I would like to search for her," Lycidas had asked. When he did, my father turned to look a

    Mia's POV"Idiot. She doesn't even know what she just did now," I heard Mabel mumble. I had to clench my palms to prevent myself from retorting. I didn't have hearing as sensitive as that of people with wolves, so if I heard the mumble, then she surely meant me to hear it. She has been mumbling invectives against me ever since she learnt I was the one that persuaded others to come save her, and that had been an hour ago. It was enough to drive anyone crazy, and it was driving me crazy like a persistent fly that has taken a liking to my ears.I clenched my fists and told myself to just ignore her. I was already pissed off as it is, and talking with Mabel was sure to piss me off even more. I bit my lips as she made one more cutting remark and turned my attention to stuff that had happened earlier that day. But her incessant grumbling wouldn't let me, and soon, I was caught up listening to her list all my faults, all of which she made sound like a world ending sort of fault. I hit my

    Lycidas POVBy the time we got back to the sanctuary, Mabel was already talking about moving again. Melina had assured us we were not followed, and she herself had concurred with that for a few minutes after she caught up with us. But as we walked home, she had gotten more and more paranoid till she was practically watching her back as she walked. I had thought she was just saying, but when she started packing up supplies right after we got back to the sanctuary, I realised she was serious about it. And that made me mad. I had only been here for three days, but still, it felt like I was not making any progress at all. The first day, I had fought corrupted, and that same night, the normal wolves invaded. I tried talking to Mabel on the second day so she would help me find Mia. That was when I learnt that Melina was supposedly the one in the prophecy. How that was possible, I didn't know. But it wouldn't be the first time the alpha had read the stars wrong. However, I had decided t

    Amelia's POV I stood up, groaning. Even after a day, my whole body was still in pains from Garrett's torture. The bastard. I made a mental note to send him to eternal darkness when next I saw him. But at the moment, my concern was Lycidas. My heart physically ached for him. Though we were not mates, he's the closest thing I have ever had to a mate, and his long absence in my life was painful. It was made even more painful by the fact that I am the one that caused it, and the most painful by the fact that he might be in danger even as I lay here. The thought whipped me up and sent strength to my aching limbs. I pushed myself up from the mat and walked to Alpha Gonzalo's room. He was leaning over a piece of crystal that glowed red when I came in, a looking glass to his eyes. "Isn't it strange," he said without looking at me. "that there is this much power in our blood, and all we could use it for is just brute strength?" When he looked up at me, there was a fanatic light I was a

    Mia's POV"You're Mia?" Lycidas asked. He didn't look all that shocked, which surprised me. Considering how eager he had been to find his mate, I had expected that he would have some big reaction when he finally learns that I am actually the one, especially as he had been near me all these while. "I am," I replied. "You don't seem shocked at all," I commented. "I guess I had been expecting it, even if I didn't know it." he said. "Now I think about it, ther have been hints throughout these three days that you're the one," I raised a brow. "Really?" He shrugged. "Mason's slip of tongue, the scent on the gloves, you didn't have a wolf, like Mia, you took the introductions from Mabel the first day I was here. And our intense hate for each other. I guess they never really clicked till now," I grinned. So we had even let out that much hint? "Well, you're numbskull for a reason. Not surprised they didn't click," I smirked. "The only reason they didn't click is because I couldn't thin

    Mia's POVA stone struck true, pulverizing the creature's eye with a sickening crunch. With a howl of agony, the wolf collapsed to the ground, its lifeblood staining the earth beneath it. As the last vestiges of life faded from its eyes, I breathed evenly and transformed back. Running up quickly, I jumped and kissed my mate. The flames on his hair were hot but they were not unbearable and they died down as he held me and kissed me back. It took all my willpower to break free from him and let us breath. Strands of sticky saliva trailed our lips as we parted and I was flushed up to my ears, breathless."Mia?" He breathed, looking at me in surprise.I would have grinned at him if I were not too busy being stunned."Xavier?!" I exclaimed. "What in the world?! How? I thought...""You never did see me without my turban," he teased. And he was right come to think of it."So the memory loss...""I did lose my memory," he said, shaking his head.

    Mia's POV"Yeah," I grinned at her. "Now please someone tell me what is going on? How did everyone get here?""There is little time for that," Amelia said, a scary amount of hope alight in her eyes. "Alpha King Hazel has gone mad and he is turning people left and right corrupted." I could see that everyone was surprised to hear this. But the forest itself whispered to me that she spoke the truth. "But he also has a way to cure the corruption. It is a wand in beneath his throne."I smiled at her and gazed out at the Sulfur Hands gathered. I did not see Lycidas but that was not a problem. I was certain he was alright."Well guys, it is the night of the blood moon. I have to tell you that I've got a castle to storm so come on out all of you and get away already.

    Mia's POVWith a surge of adrenaline, I plunged the knife into the creature's main body, my hands steady despite the trembling of my limbs. The blade sank deep into its flesh, eliciting a guttural roar of pain as the creature thrashed and writhed beneath me. Each movement was a dance of desperation, a desperate bid for survival against an opponent that seemed unstoppable.But even as I fought with all the strength and skill I could muster, I could feel the tendrils of exhaustion creeping into my limbs, sapping my strength and clouding my thoughts. How many times had I faced this creature? How many times had I died, only to wake and face it once again?The creature's death throes were violent and chaotic, its massive form convulsing with the last vestiges of life as it fought against the inevitable. But I was relentless, my resolve unshakeable as I drove the knife deeper and deeper into its flesh, refusing to let up until the creature lay still and silent beneath me.With a final, ragg

    Hazel's POVAs I stand in the dimly lit chamber, the vial of corrupted blood held delicately between my fingers, I can feel the weight of expectation bearing down upon me. Zion's eyes bore into me with a pensive gaze, his expression unreadable as he observes my every move. The air is heavy with anticipation, charged with the possibility of what is to come.With a steady hand, I bring the vial to my lips and drink deeply, allowing the thick, viscous liquid to slide down my throat. The taste is metallic, tinged with a hint of something dark and otherworldly. But as the last drop passes my lips, I feel no surge of power, no sudden transformation. I am not surprised.I never expected the corrupted blood to grant me any sort of supernatural abilities. My purpose in drinking it was not to gain power, but to align myself with the prophecy, to force my way into its narrative. And in that regard, I believe I have succeeded.As I lower the vial, I meet Zion's gaze with a sense of calm resolve.

    ???'s POV Amidst the vast expanse of the celestial realm, I found myself floating among the stars, my consciousness adrift in a sea of cosmic wonders. Suddenly, a commanding voice reverberated through the void, pulling me from my reverie with its otherworldly resonance."Little thing," the voice called out, its words echoing through the cosmos like the distant rumble of thunder. Startled, I responded tentatively, my voice barely a whisper in the vastness of space. "Who... who's there?"I was ignored as the voice continued to speak. I listened intently as the voice spoke of the troubles that plagued mortals, of the ebb and flow of life, and of the chaos that reigned in the mortal realm. The voice seemed to ramble on for a while, its words swirling around me like a whirlwind of cosmic energy. It spoke of mortals and their endless troubles, of how they always seemed to find new ways to bring chaos and destruction upon themselves. It seemed rather easy to notice that it was the 'eyeball'

    ???'s POVI opened my mouth to protest, to demand answers to the questions that burned within me, but she cut me off with a dismissive wave of her hand. "I don't want to hear it," she said coldly, her gaze hardening as she turned away from me. "Just go. Leave me alone. Go do whatever you want to. I don't care. My Lycidas is not here. Please, just... Stop. You truly are not Lycidas. I do not know who you are, but you are not my beloved."I stood there in stunned silence, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air between us. Part of me wanted to press her for answers, to demand to know what she meant by all of this. But another part of me knew that it was futile – that she would not deign to repeat herself. And even though I could not claim to know much else, I knew somehow that she was hundred percent certain that I was not Lycidas. And not in a character or behavioural kind of way. As in, I was fundamentally not Lycidas.With a heavy heart, I turned and walked away, the sound o

    Lycidas' POVThe soft glow of moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle illumination over Mia's room as I sat by her bedside, my fingers intertwined with hers as if holding onto a lifeline. The rhythmic rise and fall of her chest was the only indication of life, her face serene in slumber as she lay unconscious before me.I never realized how much I would miss her until now – the absence of her laughter, her vibrant energy, leaving a gaping hole in my heart that seemed impossible to fill. And yet, here she lay, so close yet so far, trapped in the grasp of an unknown darkness that threatened to consume her whole.I squeezed her hand gently, willing her to wake up, to return to me so that I could see the light in her eyes once more. But no matter how fervently I wished for her recovery, she remained still, her breathing steady but shallow, a silent reminder of the fragility of life.My mind drifted back to that fateful night when the ritual had gone awry, the memory of t

The conversation between the two Alphas drifted in and out of my consciousness, the words fading into the background as I struggled to focus on the present moment.My thoughts kept returning to the letter I had received just before setting off with Alpha Gonzales—a missive that had filled me with a sense of foreboding unlike anything I had ever experienced before. The words were etched into my mind, haunting me with their ominous implications.In my mind's eye, I saw the image of the small mouse, my faithful messenger, as it hurried into my room with urgent purpose. Its tiny paws had trembled as it presented me with the letter, a sense of urgency emanating from its very being.
