Gil looks at him, unsure what to think. She can't believe that her parents—or those she believes to be her progenitors—have kept such an important fact hidden from her. Why hadn't they told her from a young age? Could that have been what they wanted to tell her on her birthday? Perhaps it was; they had been waiting for her to grow up before revealing the truth.
"Aren, do you know why those strange people kidnapped me and said they were going to sacrifice me?" she asked suddenly.
"Yes, that girl Luna who studied in the city with you is the daughter of the Alpha of that pack, your enemies. They wanted to turn Luna into my other half. That's why they've been watching you all these years, waiting for you to turn sixteen and for your wolf to awaken."
"Is that possible? I mean, through my blood, can Luna become your eternal mate?"
"Yes, it's possible with witchcraft. A ritual is performed, and if she drinks all your blood on the day of Lúa's
"Mother always said, you guys hadn't done anything to father," Aren adds very seriously."Yes, it's true. Your mother, my Alpha, supported us. But the council said she was insane and dismissed her. It was with her help that we were able to get ourselves banished and founded that herd far away. They threatened to kill you if you did not listen to them. She locked herself in here until they released us."Our mother did that?" ask Enril and Aren in amazement.There is a silence in which Aren and Enril look at each other, although they were children, they have vague memories of that time when she did not let anyone in or out of her chambers. And she made them practise all the time and tried to transfer her wisdom to him and to connect with her husband's spirit soul to help her with their Archons."Yes, and believe me, I think that was their intention. Not to let their Archons be used by them.”"That's what I think I remember," Enril tries t
Seraphin does not seem to hear her, he does not answer her. He remains focused on what he has begun to reveal.“There are twelve major and twenty-four minor Archons. It does not mean that there are not more, of course. But those are the ones of pure blood, the original ones. The Archons in our emergence were the intermediaries between the Gods and men. We are, as it were, the conscience of men and the ones in charge of carrying out the divine will.”Our presence alone fixed everything. Because we possess heavenly strength and grace. We do not need to talk or fight to fix things. Our mere presence, as I told you, makes the minds and spirit take off in beings and fixes everything. We also have no need to know languages. Although we have our own celestial and infernal language, because we are empathic. We can communicate with the mind with all beings."What does that mean, daddy?" interrupts Gil, she is used to asking him everything she doesn't un
"Sorry, my Luna, Oto got out of control. We were disappointed to see that your parents don't trust us. I will call Enril who knows everything well.”"It's okay, my Alpha. Excuse them, will you? They just want to protect me."Yes, my Luna. I am very grateful to you for how you have been doing all this time. Let me call my brother."Enril appears right away when he feels Aren fainted. Even though he was far away from the herd, he came back just to feel his call. He ran in fright to check it out. He saw the lightning mark on the chest, his eyes turned red and he growled furiously at them. "How dare you attack my brother!" It turns into an impressive wolf ready to attack them. Aren caresses its back and talks to it. Momentarily his Elder Archon appears to Nara and Seraphim's surprise. Both become human again, as Aren explains to her. "They were just defending my Luna. Calm down, that's not why I called you. Enril, meet my Luna's foster pa
Gil waits for Aren to answer. The Alpha looks at her steadily seeing her waiting expectantly for a response. He starts walking towards her, she smiles and comes out from behind her parents. She trusts him and her wolf. They would be incapable of doing that! Aren slowly walks forward smiling, a golden aura envelops him and a silver one envelops Gil. They will link their souls if they join and her parents know it, even if they don't. They walk looking into each other's eyes with an enormous smile of happiness. The Alpha opens his arms in a clear calling invitation and acceptance of his Luna, who extends hers to hug him too, accepting him. Seraphin and Nara look at each other, unable to believe what they see. How can it be this way? How to save Gil if she has accepted him to such an extreme? They don't know what to do for an instant, thinking the same thing in their minds. They are destined couples, halves that need each other to be complete. T
"I won't leave you, Oto, I won't. Either we live together or we die together. Look at me, Oto, become an Archon," she asks him, standing in front of him and demanding her she-wolf to make her eyes golden. But Oto closes his eyes, because he knows it's what the Drider has always wanted, to control his Archon. If Gil transforms him now when he still hasn't managed to fully acquire, dominate and awaken his Greater Archon, the Drider will be able to take possession of his will and enormous powers. "I can't, Gil, my Archon is the only one free from the curse. If she takes possession of him, she'll destroy everything," he explains, trying to make her leave. "Go, Gil, she won't do anything to me because she wants my Archon, if she had wanted to do something to me she would've done it hundreds of years ago, move away from me, go to your parents." "Aren, Oto, I'll die if you don't do it! I swear I won't move from here!" Gil stubbornly refuses, she doesn't know if
Gil didn't answer, she had stopped and ran to where Oto was, she hugged him while asking him very scared. Because right now, right where Aren was pointing that the cave was, she could see a monstrous black cloud rising, which was starting to take the shape of a monstrous animal. She didn't understand why her wolf Oto was so calm, without sensing the enormous threat her wolf Lua was warning her of in her mind."What is that black cloud, Aren? It looks like a monster and it's coming this way, oh my god Aren, I'm so scared!" "What black cloud? What are you talking about, my Luna?" The wolf Oto and the human Aren asked at the same time, struggling to see what their Luna was pointing out to them. Gil trembled, hugging them, with her eyes bulging, staring at a fixed point which, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see. Neither he nor Oto could see whatever it was that his beautiful Luna could see and was terrified of. "We can't see anythin
