Chapter 11: CatalystI quickly stood when I heard a knock on my door. I am still sleepy but I got to my senses when I saw what I was wearing. I haven't changed my clothes! I am still wearing the clothes I got from Elons room. Because of so much happening and I was so exhausted last night I forgot to change into my sleepy clothes. I looked at the clock and it was 7:30 am in the morning, it was Miss Penelope for sure.I went to the closeth room when she started knocking again.“Wa–Wait!”I shouted while wearing my pants and I didnt know if she heard it. I just dropped Elons clothes anywhere and before Miss Penelope opens the door I jump into bed pretending that I am still sleeping.“Calliope? It is time to eat your breakfast”, she said tapping me a little to wake me up. I opened my eyes, acting like a stupid. I stretched my arms and yawned.“What time did you sleep? You look so tired”, she asked as she sit down on my bed“It is just that– I cannot sleep”, I just said not knowing what to
Chapter 12: Heart AttackToday is monday so basically, it is back to normal. My training is canceled because until now, Master Aeneas is still in the Hadrach Village. Being a Commander seems to be hard since it is one of the official positions in command. It is 6:30 am in the morning and I'm all dressed. I am planning to go to the training area to practice by myself. I have thought that even Master Aenenas is not here,I need to continue practicing my defense and offense. And if there is a position that I need to learn or if I am having a hard time executing the stance I can go ask Elon and the other knights to help me.Last day, before this day, Elon and Levi were so surprised when I said that I am mated to Gideon Morris, the future Alpha. They ask me if I know Gideon and what is my relationship to him since he called me My Calliope.I remember Levis face when he heard that, he was acting like he was so heart broken as he started crying without tears. Elon also acted so weird since h
Chapter 13: ThornI feel like a zombie while eating my breakfast. I didn't sleep even a blink last time and second ago, Miss Penelope kept on talking to me but I was not in my right mind as I kept on sighing and nodding to every question she was asking. I sigh one last time before going out of my room as I looked into the mirror and there I saw how ugly I am. Dark circles around my eyes, messy hair and pale color, yeah a true zombie. I am going to the training field because I was told by one of the knights last night that he was instructed by Master Aeneas to tell me that he will make an announcement.So he already came back huh, I am just thinking why we didn't continue our training for today but it seems like he will say something important for me today and it was making me nervous. As I walked throughout my way, everyone kept on looking at me like there is something wrong with my face. But there is really something wrong with my face.They keep on murmuring but still they are smi
Chapter 14: ValentineMy training with Phoebe started a while ago, an hour ago. She is great at handling throwing knives and the way she is teaching me is much more different from the way Master Aenenas is teaching me. Their styles and attitudes are different. They are both good but one should accept that when it comes to throwing knives. Phoebe is a lot better. She started teaching me the basics. Well Master Aeneas also started from the basics but Phoebe is more detailed. My hands have been bleeding since we started training as I was having a hard time pulling the chain. She instruct me to throw my knife in a wooden target and since the wood is thicker that the normal wood, I am pulling it with more power since it needed a force leading me to have scratches in my arms and hands as I couldn't stop the alteration, I can't control the knives.“You can not just pull it with force, Calliope. You should push the chain holder you were holding when the alteration happened”, Phoebe commented
Chapter 15: HuntersI am in front of my mirror looking at myself. I am wearing a white satin shirt with black jacket and pants that I partnered in long boots with two inch heels. It is twelve midnight and an hour ago Shiloh came into my room to inform me that we will be leaving today. I don't know how to react since I know that the day after tomorrow is the day that we will be leaving the Cravens manor. I have so many plans for tomorrow as I wanted to tell Elon the real me. I am planning to tell him my past so that before I leave I have gotten to lighten up my feelings. And one more thing is no one inside the manor except for Shiloh know that I will be leaving. I sighed loudly before sitting down on my bed. I look for the bags that are full of my clothes. Shiloh said that I should bring clothes that are good for one week. I asked why all of a sudden we were leaving the manor and he just said that the earlier is the better. He also showed me the letter given by the council and it was
Chapter 16: Priest We are seated in a large sedimentary rocks near the sea. The cut in my neck became exquisite, which is why Shiloh decided to stay here for a while. He cleaned my woods using the herbals he found near the forest to the Erythraean Sea. He cleaned it using the water we bought for drinking. I said to him that we shouldn't waste the water left in us since we don't know where we will ever reach our destinations. I mean we have sea water in front of us so why would you waste water that we are consuming? He just looked at me like I was the stupidest person he had ever met. “Stupid! Sea water is not good for your wounds. The micro-organism living in the ocean can infect your wounds and cause it to go septic. In addition to that, it can start a cascade of events that can make your wounds take longer to heal, in a worst scenario you can become sick and sooner die while we are in the middle of our mission!”, he explained that makes me dumper. Can someone translate what he jus
Chapter 17: Bitten We are back here again to the Inn, I choose to change my clothes into a more flexible clothes. I picked the bag that was full of my clothes as I decided to leave half of my clothes. Undergarments are much more important than these classy clothes. I put the three bottles of water and snacks that I found on the top of the table inside of my bag, it is for emergency purposes. I arranged my hair into a high ponytail before picking my weapons. There was still blood on it so I cleaned it using hot water. As I wiping the blade in my knives I remember what happened on the border of Cromoria. The hunters, I wonder if there are still many of them left. I sigh as I finish cleaning my throwing knives. I stand up before wearing the cloak that Shiloh gave to me. I looked at myself in the mirror, I am itching to know who I really am. I hope I can find my purpose in the Mountain of Chaldea. Father Immer must be alive. I came out of my room and at the same time Shiloh left his roo
Chapter 18: Reatainer I opened my eyes when I heard a movement and it turns out that it was Shiloh trying to stand up, he looks so pale and it is making me worry. Should I hunt some animals that could return his strength, I mean its blood? I help him to sit down properly before picking up the bag he uses as a pillow. I took one of the bottles of water inside the bag and I opened it. I put it in Shilohs mouth for him to drink since his lips are getting dried. I don't know if his thirst will disappear but I hope this water can help him even just a little. I hold Shiloh’s forehead using the back of my mind to feel his temperature but he just holds my hands to stop me. That's why I raise one of my eye brows. “I am not that weak, Calliope”. He said as he smirked at me, he is still annoying even if he is in a situation like this. I looked behind me when I saw a movement in my peripheral vision. It was Ahira and she was looking into my hand while still holding Shilohs forehead while he w
Chapter 106: EndCalliope's Point of ViewFive years have passed and I am living to the fullest.“Lo—Love!”I called Gideons attention while we were eating our breakfast. My tummy started to hurt and I couldn't stop myself but to moan in pain. “Calliope?! What—Don't tell me?! Shit! Wait, hold on huh?!”, he said as he stood up and he helped me hold my hand to support me from standing. He started panicking when my water broke and he started calling the nights and his Beta, Adlai. She accepted the position and I am glad she did.“Adlai!”Gideon said and he motioned one of our maids to help me. “What? It's so early and yet you are shouting? —”, Adlai stopped when she saw my condition. “Oh My God, Oh My God! Oh my Goddd!”, she said as she ran towards us.“What to do?”I shake my head when they simultaneously ask each other. “What is happening?!”Adlai said and she dont know what to do, these two, really.“Damn it, Adlai! Calliope is going to give birth to my son! Do something!”, he said a
Chapter 105: Victory“You can't do anything now, Calliope. We are already tied and you already accepted me”, he said and my eyebrow automatically raised. But deep inside, I am so happy that I cannot express my feelings. All I know is I am starting to realize who he was in my life. So this is what they were saying of having a mate. Having a mate means you have someone to share everything with. And I remember I felt about Aziel, meeting this guy and knowing that he was my mate, my feelings automatically faded. No, I mean, that immediately faded was so overreacting, Gideon was so overwhelming that it buried my feelings towards Aziel. Maybe because I already accept that Aziel will never be mine but there is still a part of me that wants to be his girl.And Gideon? I want to be with him for the rest of my life. I dont know if this is how mates works cause what I am feeling right now seems to be so fast.“Sir—”, he cut me off by putting his index fingers in my lips to stop me from talkin
Chapter 104: ImpactI slowly open my eyes but because of blurry vision, I choose to close it again, tightly.“I'm glad you are already awake”, someone spoke from beside me and it was Caitronia. I decided to sit down when I remembered what just happened, “E–Elon, where's Elon?”I asked her and I started to look around to see where he was.“You have to rest, Calliope. Elon is fine”, she informed me and I breathed a sigh of relief.“Sandaya? Where is Sandaya? What happened to her?”I asked her the following questions and she gave me a small smile. I looked behind her and there I saw Elon lying on the ground. That's why I stood up.“Where are you going, you should rest until you fully recover, Calliope”, she said and then she tried to hold me by holding my arm. “I'm fine, Caitriona”, I picked the cloaks that I was using and I walked slowly to Elon, I covered him using the cloak like it was a blanket.I look at him and I smile, thank God he was okay. I am really worried. “The Alpha takes
Chapter 103: TruthShiloh's Point of View“Who–Who did this to them!”I ask Gideon after I saw my brother and sister almost dying, no, not an almost, they are dying for Pete's sake!“Calm down, Shiloh”, Ahira said behind my back as she tried to tap me on my shoulders. “How can I if my family is in this state?”I asked her, confused but she just looked at me before he looked at Gideon who was trying to help my sisters. Ahira starts to move when she notices that my sister and Herod need medical attention as soon as possible, she puts her hands on her pocket and she picks the gun we use to inform the others. She put the blue gas inside the gun and after that, she pointed the gun to the sky and after she pulled the trigger, the blue smoke surrounded the area. It is mainly used to get the attention of the medical team for situations like this.“I did that to Aziel”, Gideon uttered that made me stop from moving.“What?”I ask to confirm what I have just heard. “I did that to Aziel”, he sai
Chapter 102: RemorseGideon’s Point of ViewI transformed into a human after I saw where the black smoke was coming, I saw Zipporah, together with Herod who was lying on the ground, breathless. I instantly got worried because of their state, lots of blood that is coming off from their body has stained the ground. I felt dejected when I noticed that they were holding hands. I hold their hands to feel their pulse and I breathe hard when I feel their pulse but it is weak and if no one will give medical attention to them, they might die, no, they will die.“Long time no see”, I heard someone talk near the trees. It was him.“Let's put an end to this”, I answered him with confidence. I tightened my hold to both of them as it was like I was getting strength from them.“I'm sorry, I am too late”, I uttered as I looked at their faces and even though they were dying? They look so at peace, they look so solemn.“Two years have passed. And you don't change anything”, he said after he stood up.
Chapter 101: Tied and TangledAziel's Point of ViewFlashback“No! I am the reason why our father and mother are dead!”Shiloh kept on shouting those words while he was crying. Yeah, you should know that it was your fault! Yes, you are the real reason why I don't have my parents right now!I wanted to say these words to his face but I decided to keep it to myself. I was crying near the gate while Zipporah was calming down Shiloh. I looked at Zipporah and it looked like she was stopping herself from crying. Why would she try to stop it when it is just normal to cry after your parents die? The way she acts right now is the real definition of weak.“No, Shiloh. Listen to me”, I heard Zipporah tried to talk to Shiloh as she kept on tapping his back gently like a kid. Tsk, we are old enough to hold our emotions. If he wants to blame himself then let him be, after all, it was the truth.“What happened is just an accident. No one wants that to happen and you have nothing to do with it”, Zipp
Chapter 100: KissShiloh’s Point Of ViewAhira was fighting with Ria while I was fighting this bastard, the traitor one. 'Caden”, I called him out and he just looked at me like he didn't care. You must be careful because your life is at stake here.“If you think you can defeat then you are being delirious”, I said as I gave him a smirk. “Shiloh”, he called me the same tone I made when I called his name. He really wants to get on my nerves huh?“You are not strong enough”, he said before he pointed his gun towards my direction.“The strong do not have its weakness, and you have”, he said and he pulled the trigger but because of my ability, I avoided the bullet by turning my head sideways.“That's it?”I ask him teasingly and he just looks at me with anger. He pulled the trigger twice and immediately avoided it using my two arrows. I released it the same time he let out his bullets. I chuckled and that made him frown, “This is gonna be easy”, I said friskily.“Don't be so arrogant, Sh
Chapter 99: Die For YouZipporah’s Point of View“You should know your place, Zipporah”, Aziel retorted and everything went past when Herod and I both attacked each other. I groaned in pain when I gots cuts from his swords.But I don't have any time to complain. Shit! This is what I am saying! I might hurt this guy for pete's sake!“I–Im sorry”, he uttered and I gave him a smile as I nodded to say that it was okay.“Oops, sorry”, I playfully said when he got stabbed by me in his arm and he just chuckled.We may look so exuberant but I know that deep inside, we are both scared and nervous at the same time. “You guys are taking me so lightly huh?”Aziel asked us as he throwed his dagger between us and I exerted my strength so that I could avoid it and Herod did the same.“Now”, Aziel whispered but since we are the only three who have been left in this area because the others have already evacuated, we can hear that properly.This time, he looked so serious that I think he was ready to k
Chapter 98: EyesZipporah's Point of View“Damn you Aziel!”, I shouted when he tried to throw his daggers at me.“My pleasure”, he said sarcastically while bowing down like a royal.“Oh! I have an idea!”, he said and the way he smirks, I already knew that I wouldn't like it.“It's boring since all you have to do is to defend yourself, Zipporah. What if…You tried to attack Herod?”, he suggested it was just a simple opinion he got there.Herod is looking at me with his eyes pleading, he didn't stop from rAziel is controlling him, tackling me and breaking me.“Kill me, Zipporah”“I know you can do it”“You are strong”“It will be easy if you won't put limit to your actions”He kept on saying those words while holding a sword, I don't know where did he get that but Aziel is controlling him that is out of his will so tell me? How could I hurt him when he wasn't doing anything?“Zipporah”, Aziel asked me and that is the most idiotic thing that I have done, the biggest mistake that I have ma
