All Chapters of Blood and Moonlight: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

VALERIA It was going to take a lot of strength to do what I was about to do. I was about to take a trip down memory lane, a path I did not want to take at all. I really just needed these men to understand that they could not take the amulet away from me if that was what they were planning. "What I am to tell you is not because I want to justify myself for lying yesterday, it's because I want to prove to you that I have every right to keep this amulet." I started. "This amulet is the sole reason I was outcast from my clan, the reason I became a rogue." Veronica let out a low gasp and I lowered my gaze to my fingers. "I was eleven when the south of Cyacruse was first raided." I began. "They killed both my parents so my aunty who lived up north took me in. She was my mother's older sister and the first child of my grandfather; apparently, he was bored of life so he passed down all his properties to her and just killed himself. And that was how the amulet ended up in her possessi

VALERIA "The ambassador has managed to convince the minister of defense— who happens to be his brother— to join in on our mission." Alan was pacing to fro as he spoke. "He has asked for two more days to get the Alpha's advisor on board. If that's successful, I think we'll be good to go." "Wouldn't the involvement of the advisor be risky?" Veronica asked. "What if he declines and says something to the Alpha?" "He won't." Alan seemed so confident about that for some reason. "Believe me, most of those people in powerful positions would jump at this opportunity to take down the Alpha because he has done despicable things to just about everyone in this pack." "Well, that's one valid explanation." Veronica shrugged and sat down beside me. "So what do we do while we wait?" I tuned out of the conversation when Alan started talking about gathering as much information as we could. What was really bothering me was the dreams I had been having for the last couple of days. In those dream

ALAN My heart raced as I stared at the piece of paper. Who in the world could have left it here? And who did they want to find it? Was it possible that it was meant for all of us at the same time? I crumpled the paper and stuffed it in my pocket as I stood up straight. "Forget about this." I told Marcello firmly. "We have bigger fish to fry right now." "What if it is more important than we think?" He countered. "We cannot just dismiss it like that." "If whoever it is is not bold enough to show their face then we should not be thinking of them." I faced him. "Veronica and Valeria are already worried enough as it is, we do not need to add irrelevant things like this to their troubles." I really wished that I actually believed that the piece of paper was irrelevant. Deep down, I knew that it meant danger. And it was even worse that I had no idea who wrote its content. We walked back to the cabin in silence, both of us choosing not to speak our minds. As soon as we entered, i

VALERIA We were moving again. This was proving to be no different than my rogue life. Heck, I may have even been better off as a rogue. At least, no big black wolf was after my life then. Everything I owned fit in the backpack that I had on as I was miserably trailing behind Alan and the rest. Every day, I thought about giving up on this mission, but I would be a coward to back out of an opportunity to avenge my parents' deaths. "We're almost there." Alan announced. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. He had been saying that at intervals for almost an hour now. Veronica was already panting and she was barely hanging on. This was not her thing at all and I felt sorry for the poor girl. At sixteen, she had already been through a lot of unspeakable things. She was another reason that I had to go through with this plan. "Are we actually almost there this time?" Veronica asked between short breaths. "Yes." Alan responded. "Just about a hundred meters more." "Thank the goddess.
