Chapter 52Rebecca's POV "The necklace is ...." I couldn't stop my mouth from saying that. "Why is that necklace so similar to ....?" I was stunned.Instantly, dozens of questions flooded my mind. But, my mind had no stock of answers. Finally, I decided to take the necklace and bring it to the palace.The air was quite cool when I walked to my room. And a few meters before I reach my room, I hear the sound of Luke and Lukas laughing.Luke was already doing better, and that's why he asked to be kept in his room so he could always see Lucas and me.I couldn't wait to see their happiness that echoed here. Then, I quickened my pace.A few steps later, I'm standing in the doorway. And from here, I saw Luke who was trying to take a toy from Luke's hand. However, he repeatedly toyed with him by pushing the toy away as soon as Luke's hand reached for it.But Lukas wasn't angry about it at all, his laughter only grew louder when he failed to get the toy from Luke's hand."Catch this! Catch
Chapter 53Rebecca's POV "Luke!" Luke's worried cry echoed out. Then, Luke and I stood frozen as we saw that nothing was happening in the room. There was also no one there except Lucas. But, my little boy looked so scared. He was crying while closing his eyes.I rushed over to Lucas and hugged him tightly. I kissed the top of my only child's head and rubbed his back to calm him down.Meanwhile, Luke sat on his knees near me and Luke.After a while, Luke's crying subsided. "What's wrong, sweetheart? What scared you?" I didn't loosen his embrace.The remnants of Lukas's sobs remained. "There's... someone who wants to hurt Daddy."Luke and I looked at each other. We gave each other an uncomprehending look. Then, we also shook our heads slowly at the same time."Oh, yeah? Luke saw that?" I tried to look like I believed what Luke said.Without shifting from his position, my little boy nodded very confidently. Luke ruffled his hair affectionately. "Daddy understands Lukas's fear. But, L
Chapter 54Luke's POVThe night sky was gloomy. But the big moon breaks the darkness. Its rays provided a glimmer of light up there.I stood on the balcony of my room to enjoy the marvelous manifestation of the Moon Goddes. My eyes seemed unsatisfied with its beauty. Especially, considering my attachment to her power. This became a moment of self-reflection."One moment...!" I murmured.In this tranquil self-reflection, my mind brought up a memory of a question that had been demanding an answer lately. The question about the wolf that suddenly attacked me in the forest.I paused long enough to force my memory to reenact the sudden attack.Then, the incident was slowly replayed in my mind. At the end of the replay, I frowned."Wait! Now I'm sure that I did see her at that time. Well... although I realize that I was not fully conscious at the time. But, in that semi-conscious state, I'm pretty sure that I saw the wolf transform into a human figure who then immediately left wearing a bl
Chapter 55Pov Rebecca My eyes widened. "Yes. I think this is indeed my family's necklace. Ah, why did I just realize this? Isn't my family the only one with a necklace like this?" I pondered. "But ...."Doubts wrapped around me again.Then, I turned to Luke. "Luke, but it doesn't seem possible. Because... I haven't had a family since I was a kid."Luke was silent. He, who had been so confident that it was indeed my necklace, did not contradict me."Rebecca." He looked back at me intently. "Right now I don't have any answers about the necklace. But, I promise I'll find out about it, okay?"I nodded enthusiastically. "That makes me happy, Luke. Thank you.""Okay." Luke clapped his palms together. "Then let's enjoy this beautiful moonlight."I nodded in agreement. "Come on, I'm going to pick up Luke who's still with Ovy."Then, we both went downstairs to the terrace and walked towards the place where Lukas was. I slowed my pace to keep up with Luke's limping."Luke," I chirped after ea
Chapter 56Luke's POVI saw Rebecca's beautiful eyes filled with a curious look. Those clear eyes seemed to demand a quick answer from my mouth. Meanwhile, I felt like I didn't have the slightest clue about Ken.And finally..."Rebecca ...." I held her shoulders tightly as if to channel the warmth of my heart to her. "Don't think too hard about it now! Because we both don't know. Hopefully, other clues appear. Or... we can make an effort to look for it."And it seemed like my words had gotten into his mind. Because next, he nodded slowly."You're right," he said without hesitation."Okay." I clapped both palms not far from her face. "Then it's time for us to pick up our little hero! We have to get him from Ovy."He smiled in agreement. Then, we proceeded to pick Lukas up.A few moments later, we were on the ground. Lukas was in the middle of us, sleeping soundly in his mama's arms. Likewise, Rebecca, her happy face seemed to illustrate that she had no burden.But, not me. Instead of
Chapter 57Rebecca's POV Luke's sudden order to Delta automatically made me look back. I also looked around the street behind the car.But, I didn't see anything. Neither did Delta."I didn't find anything, Alfa." Delta's reply corroborated my words.Then, I moved until I was sitting at an angle to Luke. "Did you see anything, Luke?"But, he was in no hurry to answer me. "Um, maybe it's just something, or maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Sometimes light refracts things, doesn't it?" He answers without even glancing back at me.I was stunned when I read the look on Luke's face when he said that. He seemed to be covering up something."Luke?" I urged him when I detected that.Luke shook his head slightly for a moment. "Um, I don't want to scare you, but it looks like someone is following us.Ah .... and it does scare me. For a moment I regretted urging Luke to say what he was trying to hide.I wanted to look back to confirm it. But, that would make my movements even more obvious, wouldn'
Chapter 58Rebecca's POV"Luke...!!!"I shouted his name as the burly hand continued to pull my body backward. I tried to struggle, but it seemed my strength was no match for the owner of these sturdy hands.These legs are trying to find a foothold that might resist this pull. But, in vain. Even when my outstretched hand tried to reach for something to hold on to, it could only hold onto a leaf that was eventually uprooted."Ergg!"I growled as my anger combined with fear peaked.I was dragged further and further away from the scene of the fight. Ah! I wish I knew where I was right now!Moments later, the pulling stopped. This burly hand that was holding my arm was released. But I don't know where it went either.It was quiet.Desolate.I only heard the chorus of night animals filling the darkness."Where am I?" I muttered softly. Then, "Luke...!!!" I shouted that name again. Hoping he'd hear it and get me out of this darkness.Suddenly, my nostrils picked up a distinctive smell that
Chapter 59Rebecca's POV "You? Erick?" I could barely believe what I was seeing. The face that was now looking at me hatefully was Erick, a Rogue who was made a warrior by my husband, Luke. Erick, who used to always smile kindly, had now turned into a figure full of anger."Yes. It's me, Rebecca. And I'm sure that you must have forgotten about me!" Erick replied with a restrained voice, full of anger that felt so thick.I was transfixed, unable to digest the reality in front of me. How could Erick, the man my husband had saved, now be a threat? Why did he bring me to this dark place, keeping me away from Luke and Delta? And why... did he have the same necklace as me? That necklace, I felt as if something was whispering in my mind, reminding me of the vague past."You were the one who had attacked the alpha that night?" I asked quickly, trying to gather courage.Erick smiled sarcastically, "I did," he replied without hesitation."But why? And why do you have the same necklace as me?"
