All Chapters of Moonlit Pages: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"At this point, I think that your best option is to be with someone who will understand what you are going through and be very aware of the things that you need." Galen watched as a man wept in a cafe. He was great at investigating. As soon as he was sure of the place and got the church's address down, he rushed to the nearest cafe near it. Just a few blocks away, he found a group of women roaming around with flyers in their hands."If I did not hear correctly, I would definitely think that this is a cafe that is specifically for blind dates," he whispered to himself, looking around. Every table was occupied by a man and a woman. But it was quite obvious: those girls want nothing but the guys to join their cult. "Why are they crying, though?" he asked himself. "Emotional manipulation?""No, I feel that, sincerely." Galen's attention was caught as another woman in her mid-twenties spoke at the other table. "Work is very tiring, and it's not easy to manage everything all at once! But yo

"Yeah, I have already done what you told me to do," Galen said, looking up at Verena as she stood outside the car, waiting for him to confirm everything. Verena was wearing something different. She is wearing her new pink suit that Galen specifically bought for her to wear just so she could match Zoren's energy. She looks so dangerous with it, like a powerful businesswoman, ready to fire her employee for messing up a simple task and never feeling guilt right after. That was the thing that Galen told her as soon as she got out of her taxi ride. It was obvious that he meant she was looking beautiful and powerful in it, but she did not even spare to give him a smile."That should be good," she responded. "I looked up the church that you were referring to, and I saw that they are going to have a mass today.""Yeah, around thirty minutes later," he replied. "Is that your plan?""I think that's the best that I can do," she said. "To make things easier, you can come in with your magical soul

"Galen, could you tell me something?" Verena sounded so serious that Galen had to stop licking the yogurt lid and look up at her as she stood in front of the television. She was blocking his favorite cartoon, but he can't complain since her eyes were screaming threats, and he's a little bit worried about what she could do to him."What do you need, Rena?" he asked. "Is there something bothering you or something?""Remember when you first met me and Zoren?""Of course I do remember," he replied with a huge smile on his face, reminiscing about how their journey together all started. "I was a little bit intimidated by the two of you since day one, to be honest. Who would have thought that my guts were right? I am always the butt of the joke with you two." When he realized that she did not laugh at his joke, he immediately retracted it. "But of course, I do not mind! The two of you are like family to me now. I do not care whatever you say—except your wishes! I won't accept any mean wishes

Galen is still in shock as he follows the man who walks with so much power right in front of him. It's as if every step of Zoren emits such force. He looks like he is ready to ruin a whole city just to see Verena as soon as possible. Zoren grunted as he walked straight into Verena's house. But as soon as they were near the house, he stopped. Galen paused, waiting for what he was up to, still a little bit confused and worried as to what he might do if they found Verena in a bad state or if they did not find her at all."She is not here," he announced. Zoren formed his fists into a ball and growled as he turned to face Galen. His face turned completely pale when Zoren's eyes landed on him. "I told you to protect her and make sure that she is safe; this is what you do?" he yelled. "I really thought that I could trust you; I left her in your hands, and this is how you do it? What the hell, Galen?""I swear, I was protecting her," he replied. "I did not think that she was away; I never hea

Verena's POVWhat are we? As I watched him peacefully sleep right beside me, holding my hand tightly, I couldn't help but wonder. We can't really call it a relationship; we haven't really tried to talk it out. This whole situation is not letting us figure out a way to do things, and it's making me lose my mind. This is a very different start to something that I couldn't even define as a relationship, but what is even normal? Between the two of us, there is nothing normal.Dang it. When I was in my freshman year, I never thought one of my wishes would come true. I used to wish for my favorite characters in fictional books to come alive, and now he's here. A literal man that came from a different universe, giving me problems that are just out of this world. But look at me; instead of finding a way to solve things, I chose to not acknowledge it anyway. I should really make sure that none of this sticks, or else I wouldn't know how to face him tomorrow.While I was being swallowed by guil
