VIVIANA
No matter the way Alaric kept me warm the whole night, stayed by my side, pacified me, and kissed me again and again; nothing could change the fear he experienced when I suddenly left him. I could see it in his eyes. The spark was replaced by anger. He didn’t vent it out. He reserved it.
The morning was on the horizon. We lay in each other’s arms. The night went by staring at the sky. It was dark, starred, and red. The red never faded. It was there. Always.
I woke up from my nap with Noah clearing his throat. I was snuggled in Alaric's arms with the same cloth wrapped over our bodies. It barely covered us both. I looked at Noah with sleepy eyes. He bowed.
“Luna,” he said with a blushing face. Alaric was sound asleep with his arm resting over my belly and our legs intertwined. I poked him softly. He groaned and hugged me tighter.
“I will give you a minute,” Noah left us. I poked Alaric again and he rubbed
VIVIANA“Oh! Sisi! Where have you been? I was so worried about you. Brother was so furious. I had never seen him that disturbed. Are you alright?” Gianna threw herself over me from the door. She was still in the school uniform. Her grip was tight. Her tone was polite and scolding. But her eyes held concern.Oh, my cute little pup.I hugged her back and stroked her hair.“I am alright. I was nearby, but then I lost my way.” I lied. I thought it was for the good. Gianna let go and narrowed her brown eyes at me. Her face screamed that she was received.“You want to keep lying, sisi?” Gianna asked angrily. Oh! She knew something. I was trapped. I looked at dad for assistance, but he shrugged it off. How could he leave me be?“Fine! I left. But just for a while, Gianna. I had to go. It was such an important business. It couldn’t wait. Also, I didn’t get the time to inform your brother. But, I
ALARICI was still not okay. I was still mad at Viviana. The fear on my family’s faces was something I had never wished for. And they loved Viviana so much. Mom almost passed away.Gianna didn’t shut her mouth for an instant. She kept asking Viviana’s whereabouts times and again. She made use of the mind-link way too much yesterday.The office was a place to sort out everything for me. I had been sitting over the chair and checking the progress. There were so many files to sign. Pending. And it didn’t work. My mind was with Viviana. The thought that she could do it again, kept me driving insane.Noah entered the cabin and I just threw the paperweight. He hardly dodged it. Okay, I was shaken a bit. He asked for permission. I allowed him. He looked behind twice to make sure the paperweight was shattered and its pieces splattered over the floor.“Alpha! I have urgent news,” Noah kept his tone firm. As always.
VIVIANA Alaric b haves strange and so did Noah. They were covering their ears as if something bothered their nerves. I sat silently. But my mind was a cyclone. Every passing second gave me anxiety. I was scared for Gianna. Where could she be? How was she? I didn’t know it. I didn’t know any of it.Alaric huffed. His condition wasn’t good. Noah’s eyes were red. He was in pain too. What the hell was happening exactly?“Miracle, what is happening?” I asked my wolf. Maybe she sensed something that I couldn’t. Miracle growled, grumbled, winced, and then whimpered. She was in pain.“Mate is suffering,” Miracle replied with a whimper. Moon wasn’t in a good state of predicament. Time wa running. I touched Alaric’s shoulder. He eased a bit. Another moment leaped, and Alaric appeared good.“What was that? Miracle said Moon is in pain. What hap
VIVIANAThe woman smiled. I was disgusted. How dare she? She even infiltrated my mind! I won’t let her be. I was furious. I wanted out. I wanted Miracle to stay aside. But Miracle wasn’t in her senses. She was eating fire like pancakes.The sun was nowhere. The full moon decorated the sky and the fog cleared off my mind. Gianna. I remembered her. She needed me. Now, more than ever. And I was here. My wolf was busy eating the fire, and I was fucking trapped in her mind with this woman.“How dare you? Where is my sister? Where did you keep her?” I shouted at top of my lungs. We searched the whole Samara, but Gianna was nowhere. Noah kept hearing her loud cries in his mind. While I and Alaric couldn’t do anything.I have never been this useless in my life. I felt pathetic. But the woman smiled. She kept smiling.“Stop smiling, Selena. Answer me, where is my sister?” I kept asking. The woman started approaching
VIVIANA I kept staring. My eyes wanted the goddess to answer. Why wasn’t she saying anything? I was restless. Gianna was out there, captive. I had to save her. We need to go. And here, she wasn’t ready to talk.“You want to know?” Selene asked. Her angelic aura was so pure. She was heavenly. She was the mother. Whenever she said anything, I felt calm. My anger subsided. I was melting. I nodded.“Selena is born out of hatred, jealousy, anger, and broken heart, as I mentioned. And you, Viviana, weren’t supposed to be a pure-blooded Sun-wolf. But your mother was anxious. She was afraid. She was scared for your future. So, she promised Zelda.”“At that time, Zelda didn’t know the truth about Selena. She borrowed the power of anger, and fury and cast it into your mother’s womb. That power; was nothing but Selena’s part.” Selene mentioned. I gasped. What the hell
ALARICMoon let go of me the moment Miracle shifted. It was all weird. So strange. So different. So impossible. I was short of words. What the hell just happened?I witnessed it. Miracle was all wrapped up in the fire, raised from the ground, howling at the Moon. The next moment, she was eating it. She just ate that shit or whatsoever it was, to begin with.The most insane thing about all this mess was that she was fine. Not even a single burn. Not a single scratch. She looked like a newly polished mirror. Was I even saying it right? My words and sentences appeared jumbled. Well, not my fault. It was the situation.It was a situation.And now, Viviana was here. She lay unconscious in my arms, and naked too. I felt like transported back in time. It happened before. That Forest of the city. She was like this that day too. I saw her mark for the first time.My eyes followed her curves and landed on her mark. It was glowing. Same as the other da
ALARIC I couldn’t believe my ears. Did I hear it correctly? Did Viviana say all that? Was I hallucinating? Well, it wasn’t me to be precise. It was Moon and Miracle now. We shifted as per Viviana’s say. She mentioned that she know where Gianna was.It was good. I felt relaxed, although just 0.1 percent. But at least, something was better than nothing. She mentioned some place called The Óre. I never heard of it before. Not in my whole life. And Viviana insisted that the place had been in Samara since the beginning.How weird! I wondered if my family was cognizant of that Óre.We geared up and Viviana chose to fill me through what happened to her on the way. She said we were an hour away from that place. I wanted that. I wanted answers. That would calm my racing mind and heart. And the moment she started talking, I was horrified.Selena Dark, Selene- the Holy Moon Goddess, The Óre, Gi
VIVIANA“Baspo, we need to hurry. We are running out of time.” I urged Baspo who kept guiding me the way. We were away from Alaric and Noah. They couldn’t enter without being allowed. But Gianna did. That was another question. I couldn’t get to rephrase it. I heard a howl. A loud one. It collided with the sky and reverberated back. Straight into my ears. To be precise, Miracle’s ears.Miracle paused. Baspo didn’t. He kept moving. His pace was fast. Faster than I anticipated. He understood the situation. But how would he react after getting to know about his late mother? Another upsetting question.“Luna, what happened? Why did you stop?” Baspo made it to my mind. He linked with me. Strange! How was that …?“The Goddess…” I heard Miracle say. Okay, so the legendary Moon Goddess, Selene, blessed me with the power of mind-link without marking my mate! Impressive.“That how
~TWO YEARS LATER~ALARICI had a meeting to attend in the other state. I checked the clock. It was already 8 in the morning. And I was making breakfast. I flipped the pancake-like a pro. Satisfaction washed over me. I recalled my earlier cooking days. It was such a mess. I was punished every time I was mistaken, or something burned.And my judge was none other than my beautiful wife, Viviana. Yes, we got married almost a year and a half ago. Viviana insisted I learn how to cook. She wanted privacy. So, we didn’t have any regular cooks or maids.It was an advantage. We used to fuck everywhere in the house. It was such a time. Even after almost five hundred and fifty days of us being husband and wife, the romance, the steam, and spark were high. Viviana was always ready for it.Such a naughty wife she is! I chuckled at the thought. Yesterday, Viviana spilled a full bowl of ice cream over me when I just stepped out of the shower. She giggled and
VIVIANA“Stay there, wolf. Don’t step ahead with those judging eyeballs. This wouldn’t have happened if you listened to me. I told you to let her be. But you…” Selena scoffed. I looked at her dark eyes. It was coming. The truth. Alaric didn’t have to hear it like this. I didn’t want it. But guess I was already out of options.“What do you mean? You kidnapped Gianna, you hurt her, and you say you want the good for me? Aren’t you being diplomatic here?” Alaric asked. He wasn’t calm. Not yet. His popping veins confirmed it. But Selena was correct. He wasn’t a fault.This was all predestined. The catch was, that we had our choices to change the course of destiny.It was horrible.“What do you think? Oh! You naïve Alpha! Do you think all this… is about you?” Selena paused and laughed. Her laughter echoed. Baspo and Noah had left with Gianna already. Selena d
VIVIANA“Viviana, what’s this place? I… how you do know about it? I have never been here before! What’s all this?” I heard Alaric behind me. I calmed. Lady Ravoise vanished. Baspo stayed at the abode. The reverse waterfall returned to its original state. Everything went back to how it was earlier.“It’s The Óre,” I said to a baffled Alaric and Noah. They were covered in the same robes that Baspo had. I was laced with the flames.“I sensed Gianna here. She is nearby. I suggest that we should split and search for her.” I said. Time was running. We had to find Gianna before midnight. Once the moon was at its peak, Selena would be able to get away, even though I succeed in defeating her. I didn’t wish that.I wanted her end. Today. Here. Right in this place.Alaric scanned my eyes.“I want the same.” He whispered in my ears. I ordered Baspo and Noah to search t
