Chapter 39: EffortI opened my eyes and I don't know if what I am seeing is true. I saw Aziel staring at me so I closed my eyes again trying to be sane as much as possible as I could. And I am really just imagining things when I open my eyes again. He was not here so yeah, I am just hallucinating things.I slowly sit down, my eyes landed on the table and above to it is the tray of foods given by Miss Penelope and I notice the medicine behind that is placed also on the tray.I fell asleep so maybe Miss Penelope didn't bother me as she just put the medicine on the tray. I slowly stand as I want to eat even just a little before drinking the medicine. I just ate a three spoon of rice and a little bit of vegetables. I don't wanna really eat because I can't swallow the food but if I really want to feel okay I need to eat this. I take a water after drinking the medicine and I just stare into something for a couple of minutes before deciding to lie on the bed again. My headache is mild compa
Chapter 40: SelflessShiloh’s Point of View“What?!”, I asked Ahira annoyingly as she kept on murmuring. I don't know why but it has been a minute since she started to look like that. Oh yeah, she became like that after I talked to Zipporah and after that, she couldn't help herself murmurings and she kept on staring at me angrily. I really cannot spell this girl.I talk to Zipporah about the mark we see when I am on my mission with Calliope and later on with Ahira. I know that weeks have passed since the mission but who cares, I just got the time right now and Zipporah too, she is always busy that even though we are living in the same house, I didn't get to see her.I explained to her what happened, the mark on their necks which is the waxing crescent moon and how they couldn't control themselves when a Craven is in front of them.I showed her the mark on Ahira's neck and she became uneasy when she saw that and looking at her face when we've an interaction at that time, I knew she alr
Chapter 41: AttackI am looking at the ceiling above my bed. I was thinking about what happened this afternoon and thinking about that made my lips form into a smile.I was really thankful for the efforts he put in that dish, yeah dish because I can't call it a porridge. After he asked me if I wanted a second bowl I vomited. I can't hold it anymore as it was really bad and yet he can't accept that it was really bad. He believes that his so-called porridge is the best when he didn't even taste it himself.It is already evening and I can't sleep. Probably because I was almost asleep the whole day. I touch my forehead and neck using the back of my hand as I feel my own temperature and it seems like my fever is gone. My head also stopped aching and it is just the cold I am having a problem with. I can't stop sneezing and almost five rolls of tissue are placed on the top of the table beside me.I sat down as I decided to put tissues in both sides of my nose before leaning on the headboar
Chapter 42: StartingShiloh’s Point of ViewI was sleeping when I felt that there was something wrong. I peeked on the window and I just wanna curse all the curses when I saw my garden burning in blue fire. Damn it! What is happening? Who did that?I quickly decided to change my clothes before I decided to go outside of my room.I am so angry at the moment I realize that my roses won't probably survive. I can't explain my feelings right now as I walk to my garden. I stared to it as I couldn’t do anything, all of them were already burning and I couldn't save even one of them.I clenched my fist as I was ready to kill. Who did this b*ll sh*t? I look at them once again as I look around to see what is happening. Everything was mess.I ordered every knight of the Cravens what they needed to do before I took my own action. My hand has been itching for a while looking for someone to kill. This bastard should know their limitations. I smirk seriously, no one will be left out breathing in this
Chapter 43: VisitorsI look at the clock and it is 6:30 am in the morning. I wonder why Miss Penelope is already knocking on my door. Usually, I mean everyday, she goes to my room at exactly 7:30 am in the morning.I frowned when I realized that she was not holding anything. Okay? Where is the tray of food?“Good morning, Calliope”, she greeted me with a smile as I stood up from my bed still confused.“You have to get ready, you have a visitor”, she informed me directly walking on the closet. I followed her and she is already choosing what dress I am going to wear.“Visitor? Who?”, she didn't bother to look at me as she gave me the purple dress.“They didn’t tell me who they are because they say that they want to surprise you”, she answered as she pushed me to the bathroom.“You will be eating with the Cravens today, Calliope”, she informed me while smiling as she closed the door to the bathroom.Surprise? Who could it be? Who would dare to visit a person like me? I mean I don't have
Chapter 44: SomeoneI was staring at them with frightening eyes. They look so happy seeing me but I know that just was a facade.“Are you okay?”, Aziel asked me, whispering in my ears. His eyes landed in my hands as he held it below the table.“Oh My God!”We all started when the woman shouted as she ran towards my direction ready to embrace me. I was stunned when I felt her arms wrapped around me.“I miss you so much, Calliope!”, she said, pulling my hands in Aziel. Does she miss me? Huh, I can't believe she was saying those words like we are really close. Like she hasn't hurt me even once.She looks at Aziel with the sweetest smile on her face like she was the kindest of all the people here in Cromoria.I looked at Aziel when the man started to walk near me.“How are you, Calliope?”he asked, tapping my shoulder and I can't look at him as the memories I had together with them flash on the back of my head.“Excuse me, who are they?”Miss Ziporah interrupted, putting both of her elbows a
Chapter 45: Reality“Are you okay?”Aziel asked me as he held my face. It was still red from the slap I got a while ago.The commotion stopped when Zipporah shouted. She ordered the knights to get rid of Sir Lazarus and his daughter Lady Boa. But Aziel interjected saying that he won't let the two leave the Cravens manor.That time, Sir Lazarus is becoming red as he is getting out of breath while Lady Boa won't stop crying and shouting her fathers name. She couldn't do anything because she was still on the floor at that moment. In the end. They decided to keep the two under the custody of the Cravens knights. Miss Zipporah informed them that they still need to investigate what they have done so in the meantime, they will be incarcerated by the knights as they will be staying there. Miss Zipporah also talked to me about what really happened from the past and today and thankfully, I had the courage to voice out my concern. Finally, in no moment, I will receive the justice that I have been
Chapter 46: CatAfter that interaction with Aziel I decided to go to the maze garden. I wanted to calm down so hopefully, after I finish the maze, I am already sane. I close my eyes when the fresh air hits my face. Shiloh is the main reason why I appreciate nature. This labyrinth wall is a place for contemplation and renewal. I close my eyes once again as I inhale the air surrounding the maze and I almost jump because of flabbergasted when a I saw a black cat looking at me using its golden brown eyesThe cat meow to me as it turned its back on me. I looked at the cat confused and because of curiosity, I decided to follow it. I felt like the cat was really calling me, requesting me to follow him or her to wherever she or he will go.I followed the cat silently as I looked around. I am still inside of the forest but I don't know where this cat is going. All I know is that—this is not the way to go out in this maze. I already came here before and I don't remember that I passed through
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
