Chapter 26: AcceptedYesterday I got the chance to talk to Phoebe and Master Aeneas and I just went fishing with Phoebe. She is really great and she knows what she is doing. I am drinking water in a bottle as I take a look at the knights and as usual they are doing the things that would make a great merit for the people here in Cromoria.I take a glance at Elon and thankfully he is looking at me. That's why I motioned him to come near me.“Why?”, he asked. I called him because I know that he is not that busy but still he is full of sweat as they are training under the sun.“Do you have a minute?”I asked even though I knew what his answer would be.“Yes, is there something wrong?”, he asked, confused. That made me smile.I will tell him about my past before I leave the Cravens manor for the second time around. I am ready to tell him who I am in the past and I am ready for his reaction.“I have something to tell you and I hope, after this, we can stay the same”, I said as I started walk
Chapter 27: SmileI wrote a single page of a letter of request for the council and after that I put it in a beige color envelope. I put wax seals on the openings before stamping it with a Cravens mark, a waning crescent moon.I smiled, I wish that this request may be granted. I quickly go out of my room to give it to Shiloh but before that I check the flowers in my pot. I decided to plant three stems. That's why I have three flower pots in my room. I decided to get one of the pots as I wanted to give it to Shiloh. I know how much he loves flowers as much as plants, so I know that he won't refuse this.It is sad how I can not take care of these roses, but I have no choice so that's why I leave my room holding an envelope with my letters and a single pot of stem.I passed through the stairs as I walked a little before reaching Shilohs room, I knocked non stop using my feet to get his scrutiny as I couldn't hold the door knob. He opened it a little, raising one of his eyebrows but I just
Chapter 28: WerewolvesI am already fixing my clothes, I'm planning to bring just a little as I don't know how far until I reach the werewolves lair.A while ago Shiloh gave back the letter I was sent to him and when I opened the letter I saw the marks of the council and there were simple words saying that they are giving me permission to leave the Cravens Manor. I want to shout in happiness but seeing that they agreed means that I really have to leave.I sigh, there is no turning back Calliope. Remember that you are doing this to protect them and the only solution is to distance yourself from them. I sincerely thank Shiloh for the efforts in bringing the letter to the councils. I mean it does not take more than two days to receive their opinions.I look around my room, this room gave so many memories to me, this is my comfort place here in the Cravens manor. My eyes landed on the red roses in the base, it was withering. I decided to take one of the roses as I want it to be on my jour
Chapter 29: New BeginningsI look at the horse when it starts crying and I reminisce about the horse I'd use while we were on a mission. It got killed by the hungry vampires and I don't want that to happen again. I touch its head to trail its hair to calm him down. He is getting out of control because of the situation. That is why he is making a noise. I quickly covered the horse when one of the werewolves hissed to it. I put my hand in front of the werewolf trying to stop him or her.“Please, don't hurt him. He is just scared”, I explain, trying to calm myself. I will surely die if these werewolves attack at once. I looked at the werewolf in its eyes and I heaved a sigh of relief when it turned around on us.I almost shriek when someone, a werewolf, jumps in front of me. I don't know where it came from. I am sure that he or she does not belong to the werewolves who enclosed me. I got tense when it howled before transforming into a human. And it was a girl. I stared at her for too lon
Chapter 30: Act of ServiceI was amazed when I got to see the inside of the house where Gideon is staying. It is just a bit creepy since everything is black and it is so dark.“Do you live alone?”, I asked while sitting on the sofa. I look around. I want to cough since the air is a little bit dusty but I choose to stop it thinking that it could be a little rude for the house owner, which is Gideon.“Yeah, in the near future you will also live here”, he answered as he looked at me intently, smiling. I wanted to turn that smile on him when he said those words but I couldn't.“Why do you want to talk to me? I mean you could just ask me to come to the Cravens manor for you”, he said but I shake my mind. I don't want that to happen again, the fight between them and the Cravens is out of this world and I don't want others to be involved as they implicate things.He was sitting in front of me across the table. He was wearing a black plants and plain black shirts that hugged his body. It was
Chapter 31: CarpetI cough when I shake off the fabrics that are covering the couches. It is so full of dust that it seems like years have passed since it has been clean.It is afternoon and a while ago, someone came here to inform Gideon about something. I didn't get the chance to know what it was all about since they went out to talk and after that Gideon said that he needed to leave as there is an important thing he needed to do and I just said that it was okay. I didn't ask what it was all about because it seems like it was a confidential and I dont have the right to interfere in his works as the future Alpha.I was wondering why Gideon Morris is known as a ruthless leader, he is so kind to me and to his people and I don't think he deserves that title. I heard it when I came here, outside the forest, when I am on my journey That time, I thought I was lost. Thankfully there are residents that I will pass through so I asked them about the forest where the werewolves are residing, th
Chapter 32: FightI woke up from the noise that was coming from outside. I looked out the window and there I found a commotion, something is happening that's why I decided to come out.I hurriedly came down from the stairs as I looked outside. I peeked from the inside and there I saw Gideon in the middle of the crowds, the people looked exasperated as they cried kneeling in front of Gideon. I look at Gideon and he is looking at his people worriedly as he doesn't know what to do. What happened?“Please, my Lord. Help us!”The woman in the middle age held Gideons feet, still crying.“He didn't came back after he talk to you, my Lord”“Maybe something happened to him!”“It must be the Cravens!”The others commented, I saw Gideon hold his forehead as he sat down helping the woman to stand up. The Cravens?“I promise that I will help you, we will find him, maam”, Gideon said to the woman sincerely. It seems like someone is missing. Being an Alpha may be so hard, I didn't know that this kin
Chapter 33: MaskI smiled as I looked around the mansion. The ambiance has changed into a good one. I am hoping that when I come back, it will be the same. I looked in front of me when I saw Gideon, he pulled the bag in my hands as he held my hands using his other hands.“I will accompany you until you reach the Cravens manor”, he informed me. I wanted to decline his offer after he said those words but he already started walking while pulling my right hand.We came out from the mansion but I stopped when I saw Adlai together with an old man.“ We need you to confirm something, someone died inside the well”, I got nervous when Adlai said those words. Gideon looked at me and worried is plastered to his face.I smiled at him because his people need him, he should prioritize them more than me.“I can take care of myself. Your people need you”, I said as I tried pulling my bags in his hands.“But it was dangerous, Calliope”, he said looking so anxious.“ I will drop her off”, I looked at
