The Phantom Queen Chapter 32: Soft Bite and Tender Evil
SAGE We were on our way to our house after a fun-filled grocery shopping. I couldn't even wash away the smile from my face when Val was being contagiously happy. Well, what more could I say after that sweet kiss we had a while ago? It was just a brief moment but that symbolized the answers to her questions——the reciprocation of her love for me. Although I wasn't really good with words, I knew that she was aware of what I was trying to convey from that kiss. And I was more than glad that after the cruel torrent that went against the current of our relationship, I'd finally admitted it to myself——that I had these profound feelings for her. It wasn't that easy to accept due to the awful circumstances but that exactly verified all the confusion within me. That despite our differences, she all I could think about these past few days. Maybe that's why I blamed her of all people, because my feelings towards her was stronger than everybody else.But now, I felt free than ever before. Even th
The Phantom Queen Chapter 33: Burned-Out Memories
VALKYRIEA blissful night had past and a new day cycled through Saturday once again. I recalled yesterday's event in my mate's house with her friends. After their sweet moment, Ava came home and found her vase broken into pieces on the ground. She was so livid at us, mentioning how much she valued it because apparently, it was a gift from her mother. Unfortunately, we didn't get to sleep over in Sage's last night. We had no choice but to go home. Though that didn't stop me to jump over Sage's balcony and kissed her later that night.The heavy load in my heart had finally rinsed away, glad that Sage was beginning to accept us for what we are. I just had to find the right time to tell her about the visions Ingrid had about her. That was the only thing that was left out anyway. For now, we just had to find where the false Phantom Pack and their hybrids were hiding. It was another month so I would expect them to strike again.... which was weird. Why they had to wait for another month to s
The Phantom Queen Chapter 34: Treaty of Bellámore
VALKYRIEIt was already two in the afternoon after we had snuck out of the Sullivan's residence. Sage just told her parents that she was gonna hang out with the two of her best friends, not mentioning about me tagging along with them so they easily let her go. Flora was skeptical though and reminded her not to get in trouble. I guessed Ava didn't told her that I was in their house last night.Once we pulled over at the lot of the Bellámore campground, I instantly spotted Vance and Esther nearby. The four of us got out of the car and walked towards them. My hand reflexively grabbed Sage's hand, warming her up alongside the cold air of the autumn weather."Hey, Sage... I see that you're now joining our little weird party," Vance exclaimed, giving her a big embrace once again.Sage got startled but returned his hug nonetheless. Esther impishly winked at me and I was grateful to her for knocking some sense on me. If she didn't intrude me that day, I would persisted to downcast myself for
The Phantom Queen Chapter 35: Treasure inside the Storm
VALKYRIEWhen we didn't find any more clues, we'd decided to give it a rest for now and went home straightaway. We only assigned some of our warriors in that area as lookouts, in case our enemies show themselves. It had been more than a month since we started our search, a month since I met Sage. Honestly, it felt like it had been a long time because there was so much happened since then.It was already nine in the evening. I was fixing the camera I gave to Sage when she got out of her bathroom, done taking her shower. I instantly smelled her strawberry scent while she rubbed her hair dry with a towel. A smile appeared on my face when she yawned adorably, obviously exhausted from our activities today."Love, come here. I'll blow dry your hair for you," I said, lifting my arm up.Sage reached out for my hand without any hesitation and I guided her to the chair in front of her vanity desk."Are you gonna stay here tonight?" she asked, staring at me through the mirror as I began to work
The Phantom Queen Chapter 36: The Edge of the Silver
SAGE"Are you sure you're not going with me?" I asked for the nth time.I heard Val breathed out on the other line. "Dad strictly said that it just you and him.... alone."I pouted even though she couldn't see me. "Can you at least catch up later, please?"Val chuckled. "I'll try. Once our training is done, okay? And don't worry, Dad is cool and I'm sure you'll enjoy his company.""It's not that. It's just he is literally your Dad. Not to mention, he's the leader of your pack and one of the important person in this town. What will people say once they see him with an ordinary girl like me?""That you're gorgeous and lovely. Just relax and enjoy yourself. Don't think about what people are going to say. They better mind their own business."Hopping off my car, I stared up the new building ahead of me while the guest around walked in through the entrance one by one. "I'll be expecting you later.""I can't promise but I'll try," Val responded."See yah," I exclaimed, closing the door of m
The Phantom Queen Chapter 37: Caged By Grief
SAGEA recurring clang of a metal stirred me awake from dark oblivion. Once I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was my dirty hand in front of my face. The hard surface I was lying on slightly hurting my back so I got up, rubbing the back of my neck to soothe the pain away. Blinking my eyes from haziness, I looked at surrounding and the fire torch attached on the murky wall lightened my sight a bit. In an instant, a flash of memories ran through my mind like a film in fast forward. My eyes roamed around in panic, realizing that I was inside a jail cell made of stone walls and rusty metal bars. The place didn't even have windows so I couldn't event tell the time right now.Where the hell is this place?!"I'm glad you're awake," a voice from a man startled me, causing my head to jerk to where it came from.As my eyes eventually adjusted in the dark, I was almost relieved that I wasn't alone in this filthy place, seeing Mr. Irvine across my spot——chained behind the bars of his own ja
The Phantom Queen Chapter 38: The Following Hatred
SAGEI didn't how long we were here already, in this gross and dark room full of prison cells. The place looked like a part of dungeon made to detain high-rated criminals centuries ago. I was getting worried about my Mom but I wouldn't be able to know about her well-being if I was stuck here. I just hoped she was okay because as I remembered, she was shot on her shoulder before Sarah knocked me out.Mr. Irvine kept on smashing his chains against the solid wall but they wouldn't budge at all. He suspected that maybe it had some witchcraft in it along with its silver function to dwindle his strength and senses. He even tried to communicate through their mind link but it was all in vain. That Dana, or rather Sarah was telling the truth when she said that this place wasn't in town."What's Aria like?" I asked, glancing at the father of my girlfriend.We were both facing each other from our cells. To occupied ourselves from hunger, thirst and exhaustion, we decided to rest for a while and
The Phantom Queen Chapter 39: Searching for Unknown
VALKYRIEI'd been pacing around the living room of the squared barracks for a while now when my Mom arrived at last. Her eyes scanned the busy place as everyone's hands were full, tending to the injured warriors we just brought here minutes ago."Where's your father?" she questioned the minute she approached us."He's gone," Vance answered, gripping his hair in frustration. "As soon as Val answered Sage's call, she quickly grasped what was happening so we drove there so fast with the others who were present during the training awhile go. But when we arrived there, we were already too late.""They took them to god knows where," I cried out, sitting down on the chair in defeat. "Not only they took Dad, they also captured Sage along. Dammit! I should've been there, Mom. If only I accompanied her——""Val, it's not your fault. Set aside your regrets first. We should talk about what to do instead," Mom stated and it astounded me how she was able to keep herself organized, knowing Dad was in

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
