Chapter 39

My hunger fled as I sat at the dinner table, surrounded by people who treated me with compassion and respect. Guilt gnawed at me for questioning their motives. I fought my thoughts and feelings in silence, attempting to maintain the appearance of contentment.

The chilly night air toyed with my hair as I stood outside, wrapped in a large brown coat, under the moonlight. My panic attack was taking hold, making it difficult to breathe even on the broad grass. I tried to divert my attention away from the overwhelming emotions, but the heaviness in my chest remained.

Amara approached me softly, sensing my pain. "Already missing Xavier?" she inquired softly.

I suppressed a shaky chuckle, tired of pretending to like Xavier.

"Craving for your favorite person can drive you to the brink of madness," Amara said.

"I'm wondering if he's still as crazy about me as he used to be." Logan was in my thoughts.

Amara put it nicely, "So why not? Love is the most powerful emotion in the world."

    Chapter 40I went the incorrect way without thinking about the ramifications or the catastrophe that awaited me.I headed down the twisting path that would lead me to the doom I was fleeing.The outcomes of the court system are not always good. Not all of the justifications are meant to benefit you. In certain circumstances, unfairness protects you from losing what you have already.The large auditorium was deafeningly silent as our minds were muddled and entangled with countless thoughts.I was standing near the steps, and Hina, who was one step behind me, saw me as her safety, and she was my final hope of escaping. We each had a deal to keep and protect.I could see all the inquiries being asked by the many eyes. Their curiosity was stronger than their words. They didn't dare to inquire why I kept Hina here against the mountain's rules.I had no idea of the regulations, the Oak Pack customs, or the implications of siding with mountain people.I never accepted Xavier and never will, b

The swimming pool added to the mansion's opulence, but there was an odd chill in the air. The thick walls that surrounded the backyard appeared to tell their own story."What a beautiful location, I've never seen anything like it before," I said as I took in the splendor around me."Xavier enjoys spending time here," Amara said.Amara's taut body language and introspective countenance caught my attention as I took in the sights. She was hesitant to share something with me."What's on your mind?" I was curiou

    Chapter 42 The peaceful calm of the forest engulfed us, and the pleasant breeze brushed against my skin was complemented by the delicate rustling of the trees. As birds gently glided in the air, the cloudy sky above presented a gorgeous sight.In the middle of such natural beauty, my heart was heavy with frustration. I had carried the weight of my anguish for far too long, with no one to confide in during my darkest hours.But now, with Amara by my side, I felt a renewed feeling of trust and understanding. I felt obliged to open up about my past as she shared hers, to reveal the wounds that had formed me."My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me," I continued, my voice gentle and vulnerable.Amara's eyes said a lot about her sympathy and genuine care for my misery."I grew up as the only female in the household, living with my grandfather and father. It was the most difficult time of my life, and I yearned for the presence of a mother, a comforting figure to guide me,"

Their collective attention weighed heavily on me as if I were a monument being examined."Maya from the Mountain!" I yelled out, my voice firm and commanding. "What makes you want to take Hina away from me?"Maya, who was big and intimidating, took a step forward. "Hina is a member of the Mountain Pack; she rightfully belongs with us," she stated emphatically.I said, shaking my head, my medium-brown hair falling down my back, "Hina is not a prisoner here; I willingly gave her shelter.""You have no idea how dangerous she is," explained Maya."What is the danger?" I inquired, hoping to completely comprehend the issue."For a young bride, staying here instead of in the mountains poses risks at every second," she explained."I will not allow you to take her against her will," I declared emphatically."Somethings are predetermin

Surely there must be a way to resolve this situation?" upset Jerry's voice trembled in terror."When can we expect Xavier's return?" inquired Ruth, concerned."Who knows how long he'll be away, but if Marina's information is correct, he'll return with Levine," seriously Fariya replied."We need him right now; we're all in deep trouble," upset Jerry shouted."What happens if that's the case?" After a long silence, Amara's voice rang forth.Amara's remarks drew everyone's attention, and the room fell silent. They were afraid as if they were under attack.

She was casting spells that rendered Felix and Marina asleep and concealed their activities from curious eyes."I think we can discuss now in peace," said Elodie, turning to face Xavier on her right, who was slightly to her left."I am right here on your left side," said Xavier to Elodie, when she was too far away to notice his direction. "How are you doing, Hina?" Or should I call you Vera?" mocked Elodie."I'm better than you, at least I don't swallow the innocent's soul," answered Vera defiantly.Soul?

"You need to take care of yourself first," he chastised quietly as he gently cleaned the blood off my forearm. It was then that I realized I'd harmed myself while battling Bella, but the blood wasn't mine."We all want you to be healthy, you're the most loved member of the pack," he said as he wrapped the handkerchief around my arm.I said, "Thank you for saving my life from a wild creature back in the bush," and I exhibited the treated wound wrapped in his handkerchief, "For that." "We should be thanking you," said Adam with a grin. "You came to our aid just in time. I doubt Xavier is appreciative since he was one second away from death.""What do you mean?"

    Chapter 102What would happen if the other members of the pack discovered them? When Amara's husband passed away, she became free and could be with Jerry legally. Why then did they keep their relationship a secret? Was it unlawful or against the rules of their pack to form a connection with a pack member? Something seemed off, something strange was happening, and as I began to have several questions at once, I started to leave.I looked over the pack members who were cleaning the mansion, arranging new couches, tables, and chairs, and removing damaged furniture from the inside. Nobody was ever prepared for the destruction, and when killing wild creatures became impossible, we all lost hope in life. I was fortunate to kill a wild creature that wasn't immortal; if it had been, Levine and I would already be dead.Members of the pack were acting normally, but I could tell they were all still traumatized.

The air was tense because I knew how he felt about anything non-human, especially my mother, a werewolf—the very kind he was famed for hunting."Lay me next to your mother when I close my eyes for the rest of my life, and I will rest in peace," my father's ultimate wish to be buried near the woman he loved, my mother, resonated in my thoughts.He recalled their fateful meeting in the bush, where he was hunting to protect the locals from wild animals. He discovered my mother there, injured and in werewolf form. He brought her home and cared for her wounds out of compassion for animals, unknowing of her true nature.When Grandfather Falkor was away, my father nursed her, and to his surprise, she evolved into a human in before of his eyes—a revelation that warmed his heart and spurred an ardent desire to learn more about her.Their bond gr

I was dressed solemnly in a black robe, clutching a half-moon-shaped pendant around my neck—a special present from my father, a keepsake I treasured. It was my habit to touch the pendant whenever I'm feeling down. My mother had given it to him on their wedding day, but fate had passed it on to me after she died shortly after I was born.I stood at my father's grave with my grandfather, Falkor Grant, under a weeping sky. I had hoped for sympathy from him, but his cold stare said it all, making me feel like a weight he refused to carry. The weight of his apathy destroyed my heart, leaving me feeling completely alone and abandoned.He was dressed in a black long coat and holding the umbrella that had previously protected me from the rain—the same umbrella that my father had used to protect me.
