Chapter 50: RegretIt is already midnight and yet there is no sign of the woman who gave me the letter under the bowl of food.It said that I should not sleep but the moon is calling my consciousness. I yawn as I look outside the cell. The guards who are looking out for me are already sleeping, still holding their spears. There were two of them and they were sleeping on each other's shoulders while sitting on the wooden chair. They had masks on their faces and they were wearing armor.I sigh, I think I should take a nap even just a little minute but when I am beginning to close my eyes and imagine something that could help me sleep, I heard the rattled sound of the keys. I look at the woman who seems in a hurry.She looked around and she dropped the keys but she quickly picked it up as she tried to open the cell again. I stood and walked near the cell door to greet her but I stopped when I saw one of the guards move. Oh God! This woman's action is making me nervous. “Lets go!”, she
Chapter 51: Run“What are you doing here?!”, she asked me looking so angrily and I just gave her a peace sign while forcing a sly smile.I notice that someone behind her is going to pierce her while she's out of focus, that's why I ran to her as I kicked the person behind her.“You're welcome!”, I look at her as I smirk and I know that behind her mask, she is rolling her eyes. I look around and I realize that the people who are chasing us have doubled. Thankfully I came back to help because I know that she can't take these guys down.One of the guards attacked me using his spears but I got a hold on it as I tried to pull it in his hands. I punched his chest before I pushed and pulled the spears. I looked at the woman and she was fighting three guys. Seriously? Why are almost all of the guards coming for her? Am I looking so weak?I was astounded when she put the baton in front of her to depend on the guards and when it looked like she wouldn't make it, she jumped backwards as I hear
Chapter 52: Transition“Let's get out of here”, he said as he held my hands before pulling me to the other side of the corridor.I wanted to ask where we were going but he looked like he wasn't in his right mind. He kept on looking around and I felt how cold his hands were and at the same time it was shaking.I stopped walking and he did the same. He looks at me worriedly with a questioning look in his eyes.“Gideon, we need to go back. The woman who protects me needs our help, she is in danger”, I informed him and I know that he knows that woman especially that they are working together.“Let's leave for now, my love. Your safety is our priority”, he uttered that made me think why.“But–”, he cut me off by pulling my hands together and it enabled me to speak another word.“I will take care of it, Calliope. Don't worry too much, okay?”, he assured me and I just nodded even though I know that he won't probably see it.I don't know if this is the right way and I am just following him. I
Chapter 53: Pictures“Are you sure?”Gideon asked for the fifth time and I just sigh.“Yes, you should go now, you will be late”, I answered him and pushed him a little to the door.He nodded a little as he pulled my head and then after that he kissed my forehead gently. Although I still felt a little awkward when he was doing that, I didn't bother to react that much because I need to get used to this. I observe that Gideon is into physical touch, he loves to interact with me with that kind of action.I waved my hand to him as a sign of goodbye and after that I slowly closed the door. He informed me a while ago that he was going to an assembly for tomorrow's transition. He is asking me if I want to join him but I declined. Shame on me if I will face them without accepting their future Alpha. I am not ready to introduce myself to them as I dont have the courage to meet them.I don't know who are the people who will gather as I didn't have the chance to ask Gideon.Nevertheless, it is ju
Chapter 54: Trapped“Calliope, my love”I kicked the box below the bed before running out of his room. It is a good thing that his room is placed on the corner in the last part of the second floor.I put the keys in my pocket as I wiped my face before deciding to greet him.“Hi!”I said to get his attention, he looked at me and frowned. I don't know why. Maybe I look like slapsoil?“Are you okay?”He asked me, walking near in front of me. “O–Of course!”, I answered nervously while forcing a smile. I hide my hands on my back as it is starting to shake as my heart beats faster.“Sure?”he asked again and I just nodded still smiling and I don't know how do I look right now. He pulled me to a hug and I cannot force myself to return that.“Wh–Why did you come back so early?”I asked him, putting a distance away from him and I know that he notices it when he flinches and I don't know what is running into his mind as he looks at me confused.“Oh I forgot something inside my room”, he said scra
Chapter 55: Laboratory I walk slowly down the stairs to see what is beyond this place. This is the only thing that I can do right now, to discover more so that I can give myself some new problems. Kidding aside, I just realize that the more I take a step on the staircase, the colder it becomes and I don't know the reason why. I took the last step of the staircase and I was shocked in awe at what I saw. I am not sure if this is because I felt a little bit of exhilaration but I became lively when I saw different things that are new to my eyes. I excitedly ran towards the table while smiling like the dumbest when I saw different apparatus. It was like a secret laboratory! A science laboratory to be exact. My smile faded when I saw what was on the other side of the room. I instantly became nervous as I can not sink this into my mind. On the other side of the room, different technologies are working, it is not just a simple technology, a higher one that hasn't even been even introd
