Chapter 26: Alone with HimWe were running fast side by side; he never left my side. We’d just rest for a while and run again. Until night came and it was dangerous to travel. He created fire and prepared the food that we hunt along the way. “How far do we still have to travel?” I asked. “We still have a few kilometers to go. Are you tired?” He asked and handed me a raw food. But blood would be good for me. I must change my diet to this. “No, I was thinking about you, the pack needs you.” “Dad can manage,” answered he. Alpha Kaled has gotten age. He could not stay like this for long. Being out for unimportant matters. “I hope he could help; we can’t stay like this forever, how can I give you a child with this.” He held my hand and softly massage it. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she has an idea about this,” “She?” “She’s a half-witch and a half-werewolf. She’s an ancient healer white werewolf,” I looked at him in surprise. “Do you mean the legend of Alpha Female who create
Chapter 27: Meeting the LunaShe must notice my confusion as I accepted her hand. “Luna Lavelle.” “Alpha Kylo,” Kylo introduced himself too. “I gave my position to my mate, and I’m his Luna now. It must be very important, let’s talk about it in my office.” She said and I couldn’t find what to say. I could just look at her face, she looked so beautiful with her blue hair. I looked at Kylo and he just nodded. We followed her and even opened the door for us. “You traveled miles away, what brings you here?” She asked and signaled us to take a seat. We gladly accepted and I held Kylo’s hand. “We heard about your story,” I said and I couldn’t find the right term to tell her formally. It seemed like any wrong move, we’d be dead in here. She may smile and be hospitable, I could feel the atmosphere around her.“Probably just my heroic deeds,” she said and looked me straight in the eyes. “Speak your concern,” she demanded at once.“I am cursed…or I was cursed.” I said and Kylo squi
Chapter 28: Too Much HungerShe was confused about why I wanted a hug. “I looked up to you as a woman for being that strong and powerful. I wish I can be a Luna like you.” I said and she smiled. She nodded and I did not waste a second and hugged her. She smelled like blueberry with citrus and vanilla. “Thank you,” I said, and I saw Kylo offer a hand to her. “What I did was inappropriate, I hope I did not cause any misunderstanding between our pack.” He still needed to protect the pack’s image as an Alpha. “Not at all,” she said and accepted his hand. “You must be very tired; my son Radian would escort you to our guest room.” She turned to where they are, but he was nowhere to be found. Only Orion was left in the room. “Orion, please escort them to our guest room and meet me hereafter.” She ordered her son, but I thought we should go.“We may want to stay for more but I’m afraid we have to go,” Kylo said which I agreed. “We have to be back soon as we can,” I added.“Do y
Chapter 29: TrappedAnger blinded me and I swiftly ran back to him. I clawed his face, and he saw it. He saw I would do it, but he did not move an inch. He accepted my attack and a drop of blood escaped from the wounds I made on his left cheek. “I will never fall in that trap, Zild.” I moved closer to his left ear. “Remember that.” How dare he scare me? “Crystal clear,” he answered, and I ran back to the door. I thought he would run after me, but I was wrong. I did not even hear him move. I should not stay longer with him. I ran faster to our pack, and I was welcomed by his mother. “What did you do?” asked she. “Nothing,” confusion has taken over my system, why was she that angry? “What happened to him?” And she raised her eyebrow. “Aren’t you supposed to know what happened when you were together?” I could not almost recognize her voice. I could clearly see that she despised or even loath me for causing too much trouble. “Where is he?” I walked past her. I knew she woul
Chapter 30: Hatred and Affection Did I hear it right? Of course, we were one, what was to be a surprise? I blew up unbelievably and walked inside. I went to the room that used to be mine. He wanted me to stay then I’d make his life a living hell.I went there to change. I took off my dress and wore the black dress that I found in the closet. I took off the pins from my hair and let it down freely. I was trapped in here forever with him. I hope he wasn’t expecting me to live with him happily. I jumped into my bed and lay in there. I could act dead since I already died anyway. I closed my eyes and thought about how I do it when I lost consciousness in the woods. I knew I did not die; I was just sleeping. Without blood, I would be able to sleep. But now I could not sleep yet, I opened my eyes and stare at the ceiling. This unpainted place looked like a graveyard. Just gray and black, the only place that has no color. In the moment of silence, my mind was playing with me. I thoug
Chapter 31: His Deal“We? Are you sure we asked that? As far as I know, I did not want to marry you at that time. I was just scared you’d be angry.” It may be hurtful but that was the truth. I was eager to please him thinking he was my mate, but it was a lie. “I warned you it was irrevocable, and you agreed, the moon goddess would not grant that without your desire to seal your fate with me.” He simply said. He drank the blood from his goblet and looked at me. “I did that not because I wanted to punish you, I was afraid.” Afraid of what? He smiled but I could see his eyes were telling me otherwise. “Afraid of what?” I was impatient when he did not continue right away. “You might run away and leave me here alone.” He stared at me, expecting any reaction but I hid my surprise and disbelief. He was trying to manipulate me again using my emotion. He could not take advantage of me by feeding me false information now he was trying to win me with those sorrowful words to have my sym
Chapter 32: His Lullaby I forced myself not to smile when he offered that. No one ever sings for me. “Okay,” “In the dark full of madness,In this cage full of sadness, Is the only place I could be in peace, I wish, I could leave your nightmares and be in your fantasies.I could ease your hatred and be your happiness,I did not mean to be the villain of your story,But if making your stay means being your enemy, I will bear at least you’re with me. I won’t be sorry,I won’t be sorry.Baby, to make you happy means making me lonely. I want to keep you with me but seeing you lonelyIs hurting me. So, I must set you free.I hope you’d finally be happy.” I tried hard not to cry; he did have a good voice. I could now hear his plea. His broken soul’s plea. Why did I feel like he wanted me to stay not because to punish me? He hugged me tighter like he did not want to let me go. My eyes started watering, so I choose to shut them harshly.“Will you be happy out there? Will
Chapter 33: Wounds of His PastI stood up and I saw pain lingering on his face. “What is this?” Pure anger was displayed on his face, and I could not find the right word to explain myself. A sudden question came across my mind. Why did I accept his deal? “Kylo…” “What are you doing in there? Why are you with him instead of staying with me?” “Kylo I—”“I woke expecting to see you, but I only learned that you’re here and you haven’t come home for a few days.” His composure was gone, he looked so done. “Let me explain,”“Let’s go home now!” He demanded but I could not leave until the deal was over. “I can’t, I…I,” I could not bring myself to say what I wanted to say. I feel like I need to defend myself and say something I should listen to his anger even if it's lies. Why did it hard to tell him the truth? Maybe because I knew he would not accept it. “I can’t for a week, it’s a deal I—”“Liar! That’s not what I saw, Lavelle! You were sitting on his lap.” Why was I sittin
