All Chapters of TIMELESS: MOONBOUND : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"You are still very injured, Miss. Please be very careful." As Vivian tossed vases, glass glasses, and anything else that could break at the walls, Vivian's reliable maid, Hailey, stood by the side. Her hair was disheveled, and she appeared to have suffered significant further wounds; blood even trailed directly after her. Vivian stared wide-eyed at the damaged walls and all of the shattered glasses that were strewn across the floor; but, no matter how hard she flung those objects, they were unable to soothe her rage. Despite the fact that she was injured, she barely registered any of the agony. Vivian took a few shaky, labored breaths, and then she fell to the ground, exhausted. She was exhausted from everything. She lowered her head, cupped her hands around her ears, and squeezed her eyes shut as hard as she could. She wanted to run away, she wanted to be free from her father, and she wanted to take the place that was rightfully hers, but she couldn't! The sudden presence of that ot

AUTHOR'S POVAfter Joshua announced Vivian’s punishment, Harriet left the Council meeting in a daze as well as other council members. Some of them stayed back so that they could speak to Joshua and Aileen. Aileen answered each and every question that they had for her with a smile and they realized, well some of them realized that Aileen wasn't what they made her to be. They spoke to each other for a while before they all left. After they left, Joshua wrapped his arms around Aileen's shoulders and stared into her eyes. Icy blue and Silver clashed and Joshua used his other hand to caress her face, “Are you okay? Were you scared?” Aileen shook her head and ‘harrumphed’ “Am I that unreliable? I could even see your shock when I said that I found the woman that spread the rumors.” “Yes, I was shocked because I didn't expect that. How did you convince that maid to speak? And how did this rumor come about in the first place?” The both of them started walking out of the meeting room and t

AILEEN'S POVWhen I awoke the next morning, Joshua had already left, but I still couldn't move. After tormenting me so severely the night before, Joshua left me all by myself, and I mumbled to myself, "Stupid Joshua." I was a little bit irritated about it. As I gently climbed down from the bed, I took care not to inflict any further pain on my already throbbing back. When I was able to get out of bed, I went to the door and gently knocked on it. Within seconds, two heads leaned into the room for a peek."Would you be able to give me some water? My throat feels dry and stuffy." The two of them nodded, and one of them hurried off to get some water for me. I couldn't help but smile a little bit. Lila, the second maid who waited outside, came into the room accompanied by three other maids following closely behind."Uh... Do you need something?" When I asked them, they all smiled and surrounded me. Lila insisted that I wait for them in the dressing room, and I sat there. The bed sheets wer

“We have to go back to the other world?” I asked Joshua who nodded gently. Our footsteps echoed in the empty corridor as we headed to Joshua’s study. It was located about five rooms away from mine so it was quite a walk. When we got to the study, Joshua locked the doors and erected a barrier around the room; to keep intruders out and to stop anyone who could possibly be trying to spy on us.One he finished erecting the barrier, he turned to me and spoke, “Yeah. Xander has caught some of the rogue's trail and he says that they are heading towards the main city.” I gasped, “The main city? What are they trying to do?” “I have no idea as well.” Joshua shook his head. I knew that he was just as confused as I was, but he continued, “Rogue wolves are known for killing everyone who stands in their way and they also like to eat humans. Knowing humans, they would try to protect themselves from the wolves and it might lead to a one-sided massacre since the humans aren't going to be prepared.”

AILEEN’S POV“This place is so eerie.” I shivered and ran my hands down my skin. It was a bit cold, not the coldness that affected the skin but one that affected the heart; it was a scary type of coldness. Owls hooted and crickets chirped loudly, these animals could even play in a band if they wanted to. I and Joshua left the other world as early as we could but once we came here, it was still midnight. When we first came out of the forest, we could both smell the smells of the wolves that had already arrived before us and once we followed their scents, it led to Berry’s apartment. Since one of the tenants there recognized me, Xander didn't wipe her memories off, probably because she knew nothing about me being a werewolf and said that Berry might have left earlier since they heard footsteps coming out of the apartment at midnight. Of course I and Joshua knew that it wasn't true so we followed the rogue wolf’s scent to the forest and that's how we went deeper and deeper until we got
