Chapter 9

Author: Barky Biscuit
Time seemed to stand still.

The entire square was so quiet that a pin drop could have been heard. Every eye was fixed on the execution platform, on me bound in silver chains, wearing a faint smile with my head bowed forever.

I was dead. At the exact moment the truth was laid bare to the world, I breathed my last breath in front of everyone and the three wolves I'd loved more than my own life.

"No…"

A raspy, inhuman whimper broke the silence.

It was Lorcan. He stumbled forward and threw hims

  • May My Memories Haunt You, Alpha   Chapter 11

    Lorcan carried me into the Evernight Forest. There was no moonlight there, only endless darkness and the dangers of lethal beasts.For an exiled wolf, this place was hell.But Lorcan didn't mind. He found a cave and gently laid me down on a smooth stone slab. Then, he sat beside me and just stared at me, staying in that posture for a day and a night.After losing its fated mate, his wolf slowly began to collapse. His strength was draining away, and his consciousness was fading.That was when the hallucinations began. He thought he could see me smiling at him, walking behind him as I used to, and quietly keeping him company."Velda."He reached out and tried to touch the illusion, only to grab at nothing. Then, he let out a laugh that sounded more bitter than any cry."See? This is my punishment. I lost you, and now, I can never get you back."…Back in the pack, Arwen and Maverick built an empty grave for me in the hills behind the pack grounds. They didn't place a headstone

  • May My Memories Haunt You, Alpha   Chapter 10

    Amid Sienna's terrified screams, Lorcan forced her jaw open and poured deep purple liquid down her throat. It was the antidote from the witch.The crowd heard a shrill, agonizing wolf howl echo from within Sienna's body before her wolf was forcibly put into an eternal slumber.Her eyes rolled back in pain as she spasmed. Her once-radiant skin shriveled and grayed, aging decades in a matter of seconds.Then, Lorcan's bloody fingers swiped across her face. A surge of destructive power followed, destroying the beautiful features she'd once taken pride in and used to charm and deceive. Her flesh twisted into charred, jagged scars. From this day forward, she would walk the earth with the face of a demon.Lorcan released her and let her collapse to the ground like a heap of mud."Sienna, you deceived your Alpha, stole credit, and framed a fellow packmate. Your powers are revoked, and from this day forward, you are forever barred from setting foot in the Moonshadow pack."Any packmate

At the exact moment the truth was laid bare to the world, I breathed my last breath in front of everyone and the three wolves I'd loved more than my own life."No…"A raspy, inhuman whimper broke the silence.It was Lorcan. He stumbled forward and threw himself onto the execution platform. With shaking hands, he unfastened the silver chains tying me up and pulled my cold, limp body tightly into his arms."Velda… Velda, wake up…"Please look at me. I'm sorry… I'm so, so sorry…"He frantically called my name and tried to warm my cooling skin with his strength. He tried to call for my wolf through our mind link, but silence was his only response.My wolf had completely dissipated now."Ah!"Lorcan let out a primal scream toward the heavens. It w

    The final memory had no images. There was only sound.It was the voice of the wolf soul resonating from the depths of my being. It was frail yet filled with reluctance and lingering affection."Lorcan, did you know? I recognized you the very first time I saw you."You were my fated mate, and my wolf rejoiced for you. It promised to follow you forever and guard you till the end."Lorcan froze to the spot as if he was struck by lightning."Fated mate…" The two words shattered his last line of defense like a heavy hammer.A wolf only had one fated mate in their lifetime. It was the most sacred bond bestowed by the Moon Goddess, but he'd personally tortured his mate to the point of ruin.The voice continued, "Arwen, my brother… When we were little, you always stood in front of me. You said you'd protect me for life, and I never forgot that. So when danger struck, my wolf told me that this time, it's my turn to protect you. It's willing to go as far as to die for you."At this time,

    The light from the memory crystal slowly dimmed.By the time the third memory ended, the entire trial square fell into complete silence. Everyone was shaken by the brutal truth revealed in the three memories. They looked at me hanging on the execution platform, covered in wounds and barely breathing. The contempt in their eyes slowly faded and was replaced by shock and finally, by guilt and sympathy.It dawned on them that I was never the traitor of the pack. I was a hero who'd traded my flesh and life to protect the pack and the wolves I loved. And now, they'd dragged me, their hero, onto the execution platform."No… No…"Arwen dropped to his knees and slammed his fists into the floor. Every cold shoulder and harsh word he'd ever thrown at me now returned to him like sharp daggers, carving into his heart.Like he'd lost his mind, Maverick wouldn't stop clawing at his fur. "My fault… This is all my fault…"He couldn't even look at me. He was terrified of seeing the sightless

  • May My Memories Haunt You, Alpha   Chapter 6

    Maverick remembered now.Two years ago, when he'd been on the brink of death, Sienna had placed the Flame Lily by his pillow the next morning. It was still wet with morning dew.She'd told him that her nightly prayers had moved the Moon Goddess, who guided her to the Flame Lily. He'd survived because of the Flame Lily. It never occurred to him that it was paid for with my left eye and half my life.In the vision, I killed the petrifying basilisk. Dragging my mangled body, I plucked the Flame Lily and stumbled blindly out of the valley.By then, I'd lost too much blood. My consciousness was beginning to blur, and the agony in my left eye nearly made me faint.At the entrance of the valleys, I ran into Sienna, who just happened to be passing by. She seemed visibly startled to see me drenched in blood. "Velda?"I reached out to her like I was grabbing my last thread of hope. With shaking hands, I shoved the blood-stained Flame Lily into her hands."Sienna… Quick… Give this to M
