LIRA’S MIND is confused as she sees the man that she loves struggling to fight for them. She takes all the blame for why he is in this dire situation now.
They never stop running as if they are also escaping from everything. Her, being as an obedient daughter, while he, is from being the alpha king of all the werewolves. She knows how Aro was ready to sacrifice his life for his pack. He’s ready to protect his people with all his might. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't do this stupidity. Now, she’s questioning herself if it is right for them to run away if their only sin is being in love with each other.
She doesn’t know…
Lirah couldn’t find the answer to her question.
She wants to ask Aro what they are going to do now that they look like a deer that the hunter catches for fun and this whole field was their hunting ground. But she didn't dare to ask him because she was worried that Aro wouldn't lie to her.
It seems like something bad is going to happen and she felt it.
Lirah looked at the man she loved for the second time around. Aro has a big wound on his arm and it’s bleeding badly but he doesn't look troubled at all. He still focuses on his surroundings and is ready to protect her if something is going to happen at any moment.
Is he really that brave or just acting fearless because he knows that she’s scared?
In their relationship, she is always the one who lets go, and he is the one who keeps fighting for them. Is she that coward? Yes, she is!
This problem wouldn’t go big if she learned how to let go in the first place. If she just gave up her love for Aro, maybe the man that she loves wouldn’t look like this—trying to be brave and willing to fight for their life just for her.
Lirah’s tears flowed again as she remembered all the sacrifices that he had made for her. Aro can do everything for her…
But if anyone would ask her what she is willing to sacrifice for him, what would be her answer? She doesn’t know because she has nothing to offer except her life. She is a woman who lives but the world does not know her existence. She is a nobody. Aro is her only treasure. He is her life and dream.
In the blink of an eye, Lirah once again saw the inexplicable creature that had blocked them earlier. She saw the rage in his enemy’s eyes while looking in his direction. He has fangs and his eyes scream in anger.
“You killed my brother!” the man shouted with rage.
“He killed my pack,” Aro replied with bravery and a blank face like he was tired of this scenario and conversation.
“Aro…” Lirah felt the grip of his hand on her shoulder that tightened. She knows that he is angry.
“I lost my people because of him, Valmir. What makes you think that I will just sit and do nothing?”
“I will kill you!” Valmir has said and is ready to attack.
“So be it!”
When Lirah turned around again, she was surprised as she saw the large blue fireball that was heading in their direction!
It's close to Aro!
She looked at the man she loved for one last time. If this is the answer to her questions, she is ready. She can give up her life for Aro!
Lirah didn’t even think twice. She used her small body as a shield so she could protect her man. But even before she was about to be hit by the blue fireball, Aro was able to block the fireball using his muscular body while choking his enemy. That's the reason why his enemy got hit too.
She was about to sacrifice her life for the man she loves, but why? That fireball was meant for her! Aro doesn't have to do this…
Lirah’s eyes widened. She can’t process the ones she sees.
Aro should not have blocked his body for someone like her. He should have not chosen her over his people. They need him! But for her, no one will worry when she disappears. Also, if it ever happens, maybe her parents will know the importance of her.
Again, her traitor tears keep on falling to her cheek. She hates herself. She can’t do anything but cry while Aro slowly disappears from her sight. The same with his opponent!
She couldn’t understand what was happening. But she’s scared. She knows that this won’t do any good to them.
Lirah is shivering while she’s laying down her man on the muddy ground. She uses her thigh as a pillow to support his head. Lirah couldn't help but smile sadly while Aro was trying his best to speak to her. She finds peace in Aro's arms.
She regrets her decision in life. She wished that she hadn’t called him just to feel that there was a person who was ready to understand what she felt. That someone will hug her when she feels alone and scared.
“Sorry for surprising you like this,” Aro expressed his most apologetic words that she heard for the first time to someone.
“It’s not your fault—”
“I’m sorry that I am not normal like others,” he groaned from pain but his eyes only fixed on her. “If you haven't met me, maybe your life is normal—”
“Then I wouldn’t experience this unconditional love,” Lirah tried to smile and wipe her tears from time to time.
“Lirah, I—”
“You have so many burns and bruises…” she said to him while crying and didn't know what to do. “Y-you’re disappearing…what’s happening? What’s going on, Aro? Please let me understand!”
“Y-you’re crying,” he said in a weak voice filled with sadness. Even if it was difficult, Aro still managed to wipe his tears. “Do you know that I have dreamed of getting closer to you like this again? But because of our differences, I accepted the fact that it would never happen again…”
Lirah wanted to be happy hearing this from Aro up close, but she couldn't because of their current situation. Lirah remembered that she and Aro could only talk whenever his grandparents visited her. That’s their setup when Aro transforms into a wolf for the first time. His pack forbade them to meet again especially when he became an alpha.
She can’t be his Luna because she’s human. That is the saddest realization that she ever heard and it’s hard for her to digest. She couldn’t help but ask herself who she was in her past life. Did she do something horrible to end up like this? If not, why was all her life made for suffering only? Does she really exist just to receive the punishment of the world?
“I can’t believe that here you are, by my side—”
“S-stop talking please…” Lirah begged as she couldn’t take a look at her man.
"Every time that you cry, I want to run away…” Aro said while caressing her hand. “I can forget everything I have just to get close to you. Just to touch you, Lirah. I can do that but you keep stopping me..."
Lirah was worried when she saw that the barrier that had previously prevented their pursuers from getting close had been removed.
“I promise… I promise that I will find you! If not from this life maybe in another life. If the other life wouldn’t allow it, I will find you in the afterlife! If fate allows it, I will be brave, my love…” Lirah says words after she kisses his forehead and lips while the part of his body has turned into dust and seems to be blown away by the wind.
Lirah couldn't even move from her place as she watched her lover disappear. All she could do was tell him how much she loved him for one last time.
Aro just watched him...
She knew he wanted to say a lot too but he didn't have the chance to do so. Aro becomes vulnerable for the first time and all he can do is cry too.
Lirah wasn’t aware of her surroundings anymore. She no longer cares if something bad happens to her. What will happen to her now that Aro is not by her side? Will she be able to continue living?
Lirah answered no. Aro is her air and she couldn’t breathe without him…
His calm face was the last thing she saw until Aro completely disappeared.
She will never forget his eyes that speak a thousand words just by looking at her. It’s enough for her to understand what he truly felt for.
She never once doubted his love even if there was a time that she was weak and wanted to give up her life. Yes, Aro didn't belong to her world, because the first time that her heart beat for him, he became her world already…
Lirah didn't see how Aro’s enemies also disappeared when his dust was blown away by the wind. At that same time, she felt the weight of her eyelids. Her body weakened, and later on, she lost consciousness.
LIRAH FELT A sudden thirst and hunger. She also feels like her stomach is tightening and experiences severe body pain. She didn't open her eyes immediately and pretended she hadn't woken up yet just to feel and be aware of what was in her surroundings.She has to be careful as much as possible. The forest is not just the territory of Aro, but also of his enemies. If there is anyone to find out who she is, it will bring turmoil to his pack which she doesn’t want to happen.She believes that Aro is still alive and waiting for her. If they reunite one day, she dreams that everything will go smoothly because she doesn’t want to cause more trouble. If fate allows them to meet again, she also promises that she will be brave this time and will be strong for both of them. Lirah also knows that what she’s thinking is impossible because her eyes saw what happened that night but this is the only thing she’s holding on to. This is the only way for her to be completely sane in her crazy world.On
SHE DOESN’T KNOW anything about the Lycans. She doesn't want to gamble for her conscience."What’s your name?” the woman asked her again.“Name?” Lirah acted as if she was asking herself before she looked at the couple. “What is my name? I—I don’t know…”They look at Lirah with disbelief. Looks like they didn't buy it but she needs to stand with her words and continue what she has started.“You don’t know?”The Lycan couple looked at each other occasionally. Both were estimating what they were going to say again. On the other side, Lirah is reading the next move of the couple. Even the hunger that she had been feeling for a while has been completely forgotten. She needs to visit his grandmother who is the sister of her late grandmother. She is the only one who could help her. To do that, she needs to get out of this place safely.Before her late grandparents died, they strictly instructed her that if something bad happened, she must visit the remaining family that they had. "We will
ARO LEANING HISback like a king to his chair where an alpha is the only one who can sit. He’s wearing nothing from his top which gives access to anyone to see his fit masculine body as if it was carved by the best sculptor. The different scars made by claws are visible on his skin. This will prove that he didn’t climb up to where he is easily.
WHEN THE VAMPIREentered, the wolves inside the hall became aggressive. Anger can be seen immediately in them while their mortal enemy is in the middle of the mansion. The others are restraining themselves from making a move and tearing the vampire apart.War can happen if Aro says something. The moment that he speaks
“DID YOU FORGOT the reason why you are here?”Lirah didn’t answer immediately, she just looked at her because she was mesmerized by her beauty.The woman in front of her has this ethereal beauty that captivates all who are fortunate enough to gaze upon her radiant presence. She has long black lashes that match her thick eyebrows and doll-doe eyes. She also has pearl-like skin that she’s sure is so bouncy just enough for her to think that her bath is some kind of special fresh milk. She also has long black wavy hair that goes up to her waist. Her body is hugging this long white dress that reaches up to her knees while wearing nothing to her feet.“Y-you’re beautiful…” she commented without even thinking.
SHE DOESN’T KNOW what she’s doing with her life. Why does she continue to fight and live after all the things that happened to her? She can now think that even the world has turned away from her, but just for one reason, here she is again, ready to fight like what she’s going to face is nothing.She’s tired. Hallucinating. Walking like there is no tomorrow and following the road that seems to be no end.“I’m really crazy…” Lirah wants to scold herself but at the same time tolerates her craziness. “I have a hundred reasons to surrender, but with just one reason, I am here fighting with my life all over again.”The mysterious woman that she met gave her instructions on what she was going to do to continue living. Because she’s no
LIRAH FELT LIKE she’s in the longest run of her life. She couldn’t even remember how long she had been running in the darkness. She couldn’t count if it had happened for a long time because she might end up being crazy if this continued.Lirah wanted to escape as soon as possible but didn't know how. She didn't want to be in an unending darkness with no light that even her own hand could not allow her to see. It’s a torture for her.She calls almost all the goddesses that she knows. She’s praying that they can free her. Above all, she doesn’t want to be alone anymore because Lirah does not have a companion by her side.She couldn’t count how long she was in that darkest place. She doesn’t want to cry anymore, but how could she do that if this is the on
LIRAH WOKE UP from the smell of fresh cinnamon greeting her nose. She’s starting to get used to it after staying in Nana’s place for a week.She’s so curious why they always begin their day by allowing the smoke of cinnamon to flow through the whole house. Later on, they answer her that it is a good luck enhancer that will make the day productive, especially for the witch's practice.It’s so hard for her to understand some unnatural things that happened and in practice in this place first. Everything was new to her, but she trained herself to follow and understand everything. She had to respect them. Also, she couldn’t help but get shy with the people living inside the house. She always gets them into trouble whenever she tries to help. That's the least she can do.
