The Phantom Queen Chapter 45: Grief And Burden
VALKYRIEIt was lost that creates rage, the hot sweltering anger that seeks harm to those who's accountable. Such inferno spreading all over your existence could never be put into words—— hard to be tamed. There was my mind, unleashed out of control, not heeding the consequences after. I stood on my feet, an intense sensation within. I stared at the monster in front of me with so much hatred. I wanted her to perish into nothing. I wanted her death to be tragic.Power—— the one I needed to fulfill my vengeance. Clenching my fist, I roared, letting the grief consume me. My skin fired up while my flesh tightened, longing to rip her apart. Somehow, my own misery urged a hidden force within me as I sprinted to Dana. So fast she wasn't able to avoid my claws slashing her body. I took advantage of this adrenaline rush, not giving her a chance to even breathe. Once she stumbled back, I raised my fist and slammed her face down with a solid blow. She recoiled against the ground, creating cracks
The Phantom Queen Chapter 46: The Stem of Hatred
VALKYRIEThe crescent moon watched her children from above, crying over death. The cold air sang along with our tragic wail. Seeing my Mom weeping over my Dad's body was splitting my heart into shards. The tears on my eyes kept falling on my face while we all gathered at the main barrack as soon as we'd arrived. Everyone was in deep mourning for losing our Alpha and some of our warriors. This was one of our greatest lost ever since and I just couldn't accept that I lost my father just like that. He didn't deserve to die at all because he had a good soul——a peacemaker. He had a pure heart that no one could ever match.I glanced over my brother who was sobbing inside Esther's embrace while the latter kept on soothing him as her tears dropped on her cheeks. Wiping my tears off, I saw Flora in the crowd, wandering by herself. She was occupied at what was happening for a moment before her eyes danced around, probably looking for her daughter.Even though I wanted to stay by my family's si
The Phantom Queen Chapter 47: Victims of War
VALKYRIE"And you're sure that she's not making it all up?" Esther questioned warily.All of the people in the meeting room turned their heads to me. I darted my gaze to each one of them, pondering if I really should believe Sarah, especially when she said that my grandfather was the one who ordered the execution of Aunt Aria for murdering Landon. Zymir had been refusing to talk to us at all. He was a prick stubborn man who doesn't even care about anything. Now I knew why those three didn't hesitate to reveal their own Alpha because Zymir was truly selfish. His hatred already consumed his completely."Whether she's telling the truth or not, she will never get away from the trial next week," Oscar was the one who responded to his daughter's question. "Our people will surely sentence her to death for what she had done to our Alpha. Do you really think her tragic past would be able to cover that up?"I sighed, clearly exhausted. Mom wasn't able to join us for a meantime as she was still
The Phantom Queen Chapter 48: The Color of Her Curse
VALKYRIEIt was her will to live as a human that could bring her back. To be able to control the curse that was bestowed on our ancestors and to their descendants, one should have the willpower to accept their fate and use this curse itself to flourish. But how Sage would be able to do that if she had no idea what she was exactly? All her life she thought she was an ordinary human but that was a lie that was forced into her. Aside from that, she had to face the fact that her biological mother was the one who put her in danger and would be on trial next week for the crime she had committed.Speaking of that trial, an elder must be in presence. So my grandfather would surely come into town tomorrow for my father's funeral as well. But as of this moment, I didn't want to think about him even though I wanted to confront him about Aunt Aria. My priority right now was my mate only. On that note, I made sure to inform Flora about her well-being. She was skeptical of us but she didn't have an
The Phantom Queen Chapter 49: Embracing Lives
VALKYRIEAfter my confrontation with my grandfather, I'd decided to call for help as I was already desperate. Fùck Ingrid's vision! The time was ticking already and my mate would surely die of starvation if I didn't do anything. Standing in the front of the metal door, I raised my hand and touched it with my palm. I could hear her monstrous breath, her intimidating presence inside. She must feel weak as of now for not eating anything yet for an elongated time.I knew that Sage could sense me. She was just lost in the depths of the unknown. This connection we had was my best shot of saving her. Unlike before when she was still human, she wasn't able to connect with me at all. But now that she was in this form, there might be a possibility that she could feel the rhythm of my heart. Although not bonded yet, there was still this spark between us."Sage, will you hear a story?" I murmured, a small smile etched on my lips. Silence spoke back to me but nonetheless, I paced forward and reste
The Phantom Queen Chapter 50: The Beginning of Lies
SAGEMy memories was kinda skeptical. All I'd remember was being captured along with Dimitri. Captive by that Sarah and by that murderer, Amelia. Then discovered that the missing teens willingly joined them because of their Alpha's cruelty for their weakness. And that Rebecca arrived in the picture as Sarah kept on claiming that the mark on my wrist was given by Ingrid. Thenceforth, they tried to locate her with some witchcraft and it really fùcking hurt. Moreover, Primrose was also abducted as a vessel and they tried to bring back Aria from the dead with Dimitri as a sacrifice. After that, everything was kinda fuzzy and all I could recall was this bubbling heat, trying to explode out of me. Then all went black.This was all I could provide to the Irvine for now. Somehow, I was turned to their kind——a werewolf. I didn't have any idea if that could be bad thing or not. I felt odd, actually and I wasn't really used to it yet. That Rebecca must have put a curse on me but as I remembered,
The Phantom Queen Chapter 51: The Essence of A New Start
SAGEIn the depths of the wood, the sunlight fell on the land of raining leaves. The fresh smell of the nature eased my heart that been hammered by the consequences of the life itself. The rustle of the trees playing with the air, the songs of the bird and the sight of the everything that surrounded us became more prominent with all my senses. My body became lighter that it had ever been as if I was already freed from the gravity."This is the world beyond the human limitation." Val twirled, raising her arms on her sides. "It feels good, right? To be unbound and to be something else."I nodded as I tried to sense myself and I watched as she leaped meters away from me."C'mon, try it!" Val yelled from her spot, waving her hands up.Gulping in anxiousness, I stepped one of my foot behind to arrange myself for a long jump. Then I gathered all my strength on my legs and released it once I jumped. When I sprang into the air, I lifted my arms up and felt the wind gushing against my face bef
The Phantom Queen Chapter 52: The Margins of Motherhood
SAGEAs soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Val and I set off so that I could finally go home. As much as I would like to stay with my mate all the time, I had my parents to consider——my two mothers who built me up and loved me unconditionally with their undying perseverance. To be honest, I already missed everything about them. Even if I was just absent for only almost a week, it felt like a year had passed without me seeing them. Once I get home, I would surely request for my Ma's cooking and of course, tomorrow would be Sunday so it was gonna be our bonding time.Val was driving on our way back home while I looked out the window with an excited smile stamped on my face. I wondered when the first snow would fall because I couldn't wait to see everything in white. Winter was my favorite season of the year as I was always fascinated by the magical looks of the nature. Not to mention, the holidays and all the joyous gatherings. I may have change physically and in spirit but I was

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
