The Phantom Queen Chapter 22: The Impending Revelation
VALKYRIEAfter I'd informed my family about what I'd learned from Mrs. Laveau, I took a quick shower and changed into my windbreaker jacket, tracks pants and running shoes. When my mother found out about my situation with Sage——on how her brother died, she requested to meet her as soon as possible. That it would be better if my mate would finally meet my family to show her that we were good people. I had no complain about that but it was still Sage's decision if she was going to come with me tomorrow. Honestly, we didn't have to do this that soon but we were in critical moment. I wanted to tell Sage that I am a werewolf as soon as possible to break the mind compulsion Voss had inflicted to her. Those vampires could dispel it but I'd rather tell her myself——that we were also part of this strange world. The blood moon would show in the next month already so it would be better for her to learn about what I truly am so that if ever she accept me, we had efficient time to explain things to
The Phantom Queen Chapter 23: Camaraderie Between Distinctions
VALKYRIE"Yes! We won!!" Sage exclaimed as everybody cheered in their own seat. Our ice hockey team was able to score more than the away team of Rassler. I was a little bit impressed that Cayde was able to triumph this game with his speed against the three werewolves who was undercover in the enemy team just like he was. They may have the brute strength but that was going to be useless when you couldn't even catch your opponent and Cayde used that capability to his advantage.My gaze moved to Zak who was definitely furious at the ginger vampire. Of course, that typical boy was the captain of Rassler Team. So cliché of him when he almost smashed Cayde against the barrier of the hockey field but was unsuccessful as the latter had quickly evaded his attack. But I was kinda disappointed that they didn't get to a fight. In the first place, fighting is allowed in ice hockey. I guess that Zak was a coward to get beaten up because he was clearly concerned of his 'reputation'.I smirked at mys
The Phantom Queen Chapter 24: Free From the Bind of Deception
SAGEOnce we got out of the hospital, we headed straight to the Olcan Hill, to Irvine's manor. Pretty much the same, their private guards immediately granted us entry through the gate. I wondered if they knew that the family they were serving wasn't entirely ordinary. Vance had told me that they are werewolves but my mind kept on telling me that they didn't exist at all. He must be joking and wanting to mess up my mind so that I wouldn't figure what Val truly is.I had watched movies about werewolves and read books about their monstrosity. However, I was convinced that they weren't real because there was no basis at all. On the contrary, I believed that vampirism was more like a disease while witches have the power to manipulate things, like a mental power bending nature at their will. But a werewolf? No one would believe that a human could actually turn into a ferocious animal. There was no such scientific explanation about growing furs rapidly on your skin while your body swelling l
The Phantom Queen Chapter 25: Five Months Ago
SAGE"Hey, are you already done?""One more shot!" I shouted out loud. Slowly adjusting my lens, I appreciated the view of our town for a moment before pushing the button of my camera. I scanned the image I captured on my screen first, smiling at the nice angle I got then decided that I would frame it above the headboard of my bed. "Okay... that's a better shot. I'm done, psycho."I heard my brother groaned behind me. "Then let's go down now. I'm sure Mom is already looking for us. See, it's already getting dark, squirt."I hopped off the rock I'd been standing on and walked towards Jace with a hand on my hips. "Just because you're taller than me doesn't mean you're allowed to call me that way."He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Just because you're one year ahead of me doesn't mean you have the right to boss me around. I can call you whatever I want, squirt."Hiding a smile, I playfully pushed him out of the way and ran off. Jace chased after me and because he was a good athlete, he c
The Phantom Queen Chapter 26: Back to the Home of Truth
SAGEOnce my consciousness surfaced out of the dark, it felt like I was freed from a curse—— from an illusion that kept me bound for so long. The sight of the white ceiling of my bedroom was the first thing that welcomed me to reality. Then my eyes slowly moved to my surroundings and I didn't expect that I would see Dana here, staring at me. She was sitting on the side of my bed, concern on her face.When she noticed that I'd finally woken up, she looked like she didn't know what to do. Then I heard shouting outside my room, causing me to frown. It had been a long time since I heard my parents argue and it was when my Ma brought a shrink for me five months ago.Yeah, five months ago."Hey, are you hurt somewhere?" Dana asked, helping me to sit up.I tried to sense myself but for a strange reason, I felt physically good. As I remembered, I tripped in the woods, running from something. Or rather from someone I didn't expect that would bring me to the hardest truth. Val, my girlfriend——
The Phantom Queen Chapter 27: Beside the Lone Wolf
VALKYRIE"Again!" Oscar shouted.Pressing my hands on the ground, I got up on my feet and prearranged myself in a fighting stance. I glared at Enzo who was waiting for me to attack as he stood inches away from me. Some of our pack warriors surrounded us, watching our one-to-one combat that was happening at the center platform of the barracks.With my heightened speed, I skipped the distance between us and threw a roundhouse kick. However, Enzo evaded it, creating an opening for him to give me a hook punch which I dodged quickly by winding backward. Then I surged forward to lock my arm around his neck, slamming him down on the floor with a loud grunt out of my mouth. Enzo struggled while I squeezed his neck more tightly. As I felt his body weakened, I'd thought that he was going to yield already but I suddenly found myself being flipped around before my back crashed on the ground. And the next thing I knew, Enzo already pinned me in a deadlock, putting his legs above my neck and torso
The Phantom Queen Chapter 28: Leaping Through Differences
VALKYRIEIt was the first Tuesday of the month and everyone was still hyped about the Homecoming party last week. Contrary to the vibes around the school, I was in the hiding mood, careful not to be seen by my mate to the extent that I didn't eat my lunch in the cafeteria. Despite that, my entire senses were focused on her so I knew exactly if she was close to my parameter or not. Vance and Esther had been pushing me to just do it but I didn't know what to expect once I confronted her. I was actually beyond nervous and didn't want to mess it up again.However, I would see her in our last class so it was going to be my moment to turn the table around for the both of us. As I walked slowly to the classroom, I gathered that she was still not in her usual seat which was in front of mine. Sighing in relief, I sat on my chair, watching the students entered one by one. But once she strode into the room while laughing at Ethan beside her, the world stopped its pace. I didn't know how much I m
The Phantom Queen Chapter 29: The Son and Daughter of Bridge
VALKYRIEAfter things had calmed down, Sage told me to give her time to think alone about what she should do. She also made me promise not to tell Gwen and Cayde about how she finally learnt their secret. My loyalty lied with my mate so I willingly obliged without any complain. Those two weren't even planning to expose themselves yet, despite knowing in their mind that Sage would eventually find out. Essie was right when she told me that Sage was already involved no matter how much I shove her away from this situation. Hence why I think that Gwen and Cayde shouldn't hide themselves anymore.Another day had begun and I was woken up by repeated knocks against my bedroom door. I groggily moved out of the bed to open it, only to see my twin brother."What are you doing knocking on my door? You could have woken me up through the link," I grumbled, massaging my temple."Ready yourself. Dad wants to talk to us at the peak before breakfast," he said, alarming me. Vance gave me a meaningful lo

The Phantom Queen Epilogue
VALKYRIETo see beyond the darkness.To overcome the agony of losing those people you'd treasured all your life would be difficult to fulfill. But time would be always on our side. And someday, the wounds would mend to scars— scars that would imprinted in our heart for eternity. And those blemishes were the embodiment of our memories you had with them.But did our suffering truly ended after our victory? Or it would just create another, damaging our lives once again? That——that would be something I wouldn't be able to know as I was just limited to the reality of the moment.One thing was for sure. Blood was shed. Tears had fallen on the same earth where it all began. But here we were, healing each other to achieve peace among our kind. And finally, my father's dreams were starting to build up into something more and definite.In the depths of the Olcan Manor, in one of the prison cells, Amelia was apprehended and yet, she had been refusing to tell us the Illwisch's whereabout or anyth
The Phantom Queen Chapter 66: The Battle of Rainfall
SAGEContained by intense grief, we all fell into silence. The large tree behind us scorched in fire, portraying hell in the darkness. We all watched it fade into ashes, words hidden in our mouth.Val and I reduced to our human form. And Gwen was quick to cover us with her coat."Hey, where's Vance? Why——Why I can't feel him anymore?" I heard Esther questioned, causing an ache to my chest. If she couldn't sense her mate anymore, then Vance was already....Val hung her head low, her tears were streaming down on her cheeks. Her heart was filled with diverse emotions—— guilt, regrets and extreme frustration. She couldn't face her best friend as she failed her——we all failed her. I hugged her close to me, crying my eyes out. She just lost his father and now this? Why was the world so cruel to my precious mate?"I'm sorry. He——He didn't make it. We couldn't do anything," Cayde was the only one who had the courage to answer her.Esther looked at us, seeking validation. I stared back at her,
The Phantom Queen Chapter 65: Miserable Trap
SAGE"We're here," Wan declared.We all ceased running. Looking over my shoulder, I held the sight of the Olcan Hill across the Maelstorm we hiked through. Although it was already nighttime, I still could see the lights from the square barracks and the manor from where we were standing. The location of the passage that they were talking about was just near the edge of the hill. The terrain was quite complicated so no ordinary person could climb through the area unless they were like us. We brought a team of deltas with us as this was a rescue mission to retrieve Enzo's family.And to my surprise, Val also brought me along in this mission. Maybe because she was still feeling guilty over what happened yesterday at the Wolf Grave territory. She wanted to make me feel that she trusted me. Needless to say, my best friends also tagged along because it was also their job to protect me. Their parents were also part of the Phantom before, the two apprentices who fought along with Sara to be ex
The Phantom Queen Chapter 64: Vows of Devotion
VALKYRIEAfter they took Zak to heal his wounds, we were led to the house of the Claw and we talked about how to solidify our alliance with the Wolf Grave more. As expected, they were demanding to take Sage into their territory but I strongly declined as she was my mate. Aside from that, Sage mentioned her human parents, shutting them down flatly. They also offered Iris and the twin to be her personal bodyguard which Sage declined too. However, it seemed that they were too adamant about this so they suggested transferring to our school next year. Then we proceeded about our war against Amelia and her notorious hybrids.Once the meeting ended, we drove home, promising to the Wolf Grave Pack to develop our alliance further and set things up now that Sage had finally claimed the Alpha position. The whole time, my mate was disregarding me, even blocking me in her mind. I could feel a bit of her disappointment though. She had her reason because I didn't trust her and acted on our own again
The Phantom Queen Chapter 63: In the Minds of Conflict
VALKYRIEThere was nothing greater than the morning when you were on the bed, kissing your girlfriend senseless. Not to mention that we were both naked under the sheet as I hovered above her body. These past few days were so eventful with school and the training after. Add more our task as the new Alpha of our pack. Finding time for our intimate session was quite challenging and there were her parents too who demanded to have Sage stay at home as she should. They just let her do the ceremony last Monday because my Mom asked them politely.So having her slept here last night because it was already the weekend was already a blessing to me. And we didn't even hesitate to jump at each other once we were alone in my personal cabin. I had no idea how many times we'd done it but it was truly bliss. However, it seemed that we weren't still satisfied yet that as soon as we woke up a while ago, we made love once again.Sage cradled me inside her embrace while stroking my hair soothingly. I nuzz
The Phantom Queen Chapter 62: Two-Edged Spark
*trigger warning*SAGEEvery pair spread out in the woods to give themselves privacy for the training. Oscar just remained at the square barracks to train those members who were under him while the others were guarding the territory for the meantime. The rest of the pack who specialized in aiding the household were either helping with the ceremony or were in the kitchen to prepare the foods for later.Sara was bringing me into the woods just a few meters away. I still could hear my friends and Val near us. We stopped at the middle of a small meadow which was enclosed by tall trees. Snow fell just this morning so the area looked like it was sprinkled with white flour. Beneath the glow of the afternoon, the brilliance of the winter brought the world to a new shine."Sage, before we begin, is there any chance that you'd call me your Mom," Sara suddenly blurted out when she turned around to face me.I blinked at the question that was thrown at me unexpectedly. Then I grew speechless as my
The Phantom Queen Chapter 61: All-Around Obligations
SAGEThe way their bodies moved as they strode towards us was enough sign that they were cautious with their surroundings. Sarah watched the newly arrived members of the Wolf Grave sauntering past her. She was gonna follow them next but she was halted by my Mom who was unaware of the situation. I'd mentioned to her that Sarah was also a victim of our enemies but it didn't mean she'd already forgiven her for posing as a werewolf hunter to trick her and then abducting me after. Aside from that, my parents also didn't know that she's my biological mother yet. I didn't even know how to tell them.Shifting on my feet, I extended my hearing and focused on their conversation."What are you doing here?" Mom hissed at her but not loud enough to bring attention."Flora, I-I'm sorry—""Your daughter invited her," Veronica interrupted in between. Mom clenched her jaw before she glanced at me which I responded with a reassuring nod. Her face held confusion but eventually let go of Sarah's arm. My
The Phantom Queen Chapter 60: Endless Wave of Setback
VALKYRIEIt was Saturday evening and I was on my way to Sage to sleep for tonight there when Wan came to inform that Iris of the Wolf Grave demanded to talk to us. We were expecting this already though. Their pack would eventually get out of control as a result of taking their Alpha out of the picture. So I told Delta Wan to let her through the territory. But before that, I linked with Sage through her mind and told her that I would be late to have an important conversation with the Wolf Grave.'Make sure to tell me what's going on,' she said after then blocked me out. I had no idea why she had to do that though but I sensed her desire a while ago to the extent that I nearly made an excuse not to go with Vance in the labyrinth. However, I quickly decided against it because we needed to plant a trap there in regards to our plan in outing the traitor.As usual, the twin towed behind her when she arrived at the camp villa. Everyone was puzzled at their arrival but the Wolf Grave's Deltas
The Phantom Queen Special Chapter: Alignment of the Celestia
*Rated R: Read at your own risk.*SAGEAfter that long-ass family assembly and eating our breakfast, Val took me home immediately after I saw my phone was being bombarded with a lot of messages from my parents to go home as soon I can and my best friends who were so worried about me when I told them about what happened yesterday.... and Primrose? That cheerio girl was asking what time exactly is the barbeque party tomorrow which reminded me that I had to come with my Mama to the town supermarket to buy stuff for the said party.I was kinda feeling it now: the double-life scenario—— a human and a werewolf. I wasn't complaining though but I knew that I had to put in a lot of extra effort. Luckily, I already have the energy to endure my day as werewolves could keep themselves awake for four days at most, depending on their stamina and on the phase of the moon. We would likely be on full alert at the full moon while we were at the weakest at the new. However, in my case, I had no idea at
