Chapter 1b

This point, he look down to the woman in the dark. His expression more complex than ever. But now he realize something to this never-ending question about the shifter in the isolated place. It never ask to be save in such a way, but sometimes, it happened for the purpose of preserving hope.

The woman in the dark has a pair of widened eyes. She couldn't wrap her mind to what just been told. Was she wrong, or this man knows everything from the very start about what's going in her mind?

She shaken, place her tremble hands to her stomach. 'No! There's no way he knows something! Perhaps he gone mad... Yeah, that's what the case. I have to do this...'

She force a smile and livened her voice as she said the terms, "You know about them, the Neverseen..."

It's at thats point that he blink, his mout haflfy open. "What..." His eyes widened in disbelief when something suddenly come to mind. And he don't want to believe such possibility! "W-who...are you?"

The woman shuddered, as if she just discovered. "So you know... The Neverseen..." It was a statement that pain her even more, but she can only heave her breath away. She bravely stood, leave the darkness that this man place her for unknown reason, and she now's know why. "You know... How pity," he look down, not able to meet his eyes this very point.

Was she afraid to discover the reality that his eyes can poured through her?

"How do you know them?!" His voice thundered, leaving the silence that so dreadful outside. The sky even notice as it stop the natural laws just to listen. 

His hand form a fist, as if the wrong answer may put someone in this moment to its end. But his hand tremble as he looks away, afraid that he may look up or something beyond that. 

"How..." he murmured continously. "This is impossible..."

"Doesn't matter how I know," the woman said, face pale as she smile bitterly. It confuse her, his bothered expression. And that's not because of something that she plan to do this very momet.

It even started... And she couldn't stop now as she look back to the corner of the room. There rest the young man that mirrored the one in the dark. For whom the reality of the four, no one can tell until now, or was they even see them?

Only her, the loving mother aware of something...so shocking that she couldn't wrap her mind about it for more than a year now.

"What's matter...is to stop something," she added, find reason outside. 

There, everything cover in white, but her mind play the memory of that premonition, of how this whiteness turn red in an instant. 

"Something's so devastating it risk the Alphas lives!"

Shock, he look back, eyes bearing with hope. "You..."

That strange her, was she just saw relief in in his eyes?

"I am the King," he said, now with calm bearing. "The Alpha of all Alphas... So who dare to claim the destiny and fate to create chaos in this world?" He chuckled so happily that confuse her even more.

Then he remember something, regain from her confusion.

"There's Eternal Life," she said, put worry in her face. "You know, there's the so called Origin," she added when he busy to smile like an idiot. "The existence of the force of life is tragedy in itself! But what's the truth? Is it even matter?" 

His smile vanish like a single tear. "What?"

She looks away, the pain in her eyes showed even more. "The reality doesn't matter when it comes to Eternal Life," she answered her own set of question, But her voice so shaky and uncertain if it is right to say such a thing. 

"Continue," he commanded, stern face that add the difficulty in her breathing. She never know the side of him that shake her, or was it the very plan she device on her own? 

How she wish this crystalize ball will tell her right away what's the wrong or right when it comes for her decision? 

The hold in it feel so surreal, the energy that sent about so fascinating and addicting. And now she's shaking nonstop without it, as if her energy being drained by some force inside her. 

It remind her that she have no reason to stop now. There's a life inside her that need her strength, screaming to be save and prevent from discover! 

So there's no point of knowing what's wrong and right, because she wouldn't, no matter what, change something! 

Or risk to be discover...

All for the sake of the life inside her, this man in th throne, the Alpha of this nation has to go with the flow with her plan. 

And to do that, he has to know something. Something shocking. Shocking that may lead the whole nation into uproar and far from stability!

"Eternal Life..." he murmured fell deeply in his thought. As if the term encompass the reality, lead him to discover something that stop him from even breathing. 

"What..." he grab a hold of his throat, as if to recover from the deadly force that drain him. And he stop fighting back when he thought for something. 

This time, he sighed in relief as if realize something isn't that bad than what was he thought she device about. She keep his bearing highly and close his eyes slowly.

Seeing he close his eyes, she begun to sigh in relief but with strange expression in face. She pproach the throne with expression of pain, but with bravery for something. 

"What's matter is to our child to reborn to this world," she whisper, putting away the emotions that only hinder her plan. "To grow and to express herself, to realize what's better to do with this world you dearly love and protected is what I visualize for our child to embrace!" Her every step is as heavy as her heart that almost burst into open. Tears brimming in her eyes but she never let it to fall, she can smile bitterly than cry endlessly in this cruel fate.

The Alpha close his eyes but still so prime and sat straight in his throne. Notice that finally, she stop, look around with vigilance. "This is so simple..." she worry it was some kind of trap.

The silence been so creepy, added the eyes that so bright that been growing rapidly at the corner of the room. Only her can see them, as if they naturally unseen but not with the eyes that can see through the invisibility. 

It was something that surround the place for century, making the Palace to prosper. But it was unknown force for a reason. So she carefully device the plan that hinder any unseen to appear before she can put the end of this heart-throbbing plan!

But the sight of the it, the bloody eyes in the corner of the room, stop her once again. There as if something whisper to her ears, the plea of a child to his mother...

"What...this feeling?" 

Her heart so heavy as she look away, staring straight to the young man in the dark that stared blankly. Next, he remind to the wrath that he may receive if he this plan may failed. The young man that seems peacefully asleep would surely slumbered to the deepest of the slumber of this world for eternity!

So she wouldn't risk to change something, and let blood poured out to the world for the sake of this very young man!

"There's nothing wrong with it," she said as she start mumbling something. She look back to the man in the throne, and she gasped to find how they share similarity with the young man. Her heart softly broken into pieces. "I'm sorry..." 

He peacefully sleep at his majestic throne. But even then, he still make her to praise him endlessly. His beauty so natural that his sleep like a punishment for every woman that admire him. As if being unaware during this time may end the sight that so good to the eye.

"In the century to come," she said, putting the end of her doubt. "It will end, and you'll see far beyond what you expected. I'll wait for you..."

She close her eyes, mumbling the last time the strange spell. Strangely, the bloody eyes around begun to close together, and the voice that plead continously scream in pain. 

"D-don't, please..." it plead not for itself, but for her emotions to comeback and be show. "S-stop hurting yourself..."

The woman shuddered, open her eyes to witness a golden eyes staring straight at her. It's softness kill the braveness inside her. It is the last moment he will to regain consciousness, yet he is just staring at her...and smile so softly.

"The Neverseen..." he said so lowly, eyes can only convey longing and strange. "B-beware of them... They don't notice yet, but doesn't meant they hav never been..." 

She gasp when his eyes goes down to her belly, and smile as if a father who ready to embrace his child. He even gaze for the last time the young man sitting at the dark, that now bearing with strange and livened light.

"It's a relief..." The last thing he uttered before his heart that convey only hope stop from breathing.

Together with the vibration of the world, a smoke that no one can even notice appeared out of nowhere. But not even the woman that so shock in everything can see it if not to the whisper that connect her to the misery that was Neverseen...

"Now, it's up to the forbidden one," the whisper that brought her upon to the world she never expect. 

In her bit of consciousnesss, she heard the murmuring of the Witches. 

"It's up to the Eternal Life that brought this upon itself!"
