chapter 43

SELIORA POV

His voice startled me.

“I was only checking through the books, I didn't want to wake you up,” I explained to a visibly angry Kaelion. “I think I found what we are searching for, I was coming to inform you.”

I had earlier woken up before him and seeing that he was still asleep, I seized the opportunity to check through the books.

“You can search me if you don't believe,” I muttered, seeing that he looked me suspiciously. “I have nothing to hide, I meant it when I told you I was done fighting.”

His eyes scanned through my body while I maintained my gaze, I could not let him see through the little act yet.

At least not now.

“There is no need for that, what did you find?” He asked.

“Here,” I muttered, pointing to the symbol I found in one of the old books. “It says here that the mark belongs to the bloodmoon pack.”

“The bloodmoon pack?” He said, taking the book from me.

“Does the name ring a bell? Do you have any connection to the pack?” I asked, watching him stare at the book.

I was so close to the truth about knowing what happened to his pack, I could feel it.

“No,” He stated, handing the book back to me.

The blood moon was a powerful pack who were known for its ability to shapeshift. I had read about them back in my pack but could not understand why they would attack Kaelion’s pack and somehow get everyone to believe my father did it.

Something was not right.

“We have to go over to that pack and find the man in the drawing, it is the only way we will find whoever he is working with in your pack,” I said.

“We?” Kaelion asked, walking towards the door. “You do know the blood moon pack comes from one of the most powerful lineages?.

“Yes, I do. That is why you need me if you want to catch whoever this traitor is, we do not have time,” I answered, walking behind him.

“I do not need you and there is no we, Seliora. Jackson and I are going to find out who this is,” He replied, kicking the door with his leg.

I could guess what he was thinking with the rage he used in kicking the door. He was probably going to try to wipe out the blood moon pack just like he did to my pack.

“You have to do this secretly, you can not just go over there and kill every one of them without knowing the truth. Let me go with you, I can help you. You can chain me if you want,” I uttered, as the door swung wide open.

“No, Seliora!” He stated, walking out of the library but I wasn't going to give up so easily especially now that I was so close to knowing the truth.

“You have to think this through. Do you want to wage war against your pack by attacking them?” I inquired. “Think about the safety of your pack.”

After I stopped talking, Kaelion stopped walking.

“There are a million ways this can go wrong. If we do this, I am not responsible for whatever happens to you,” He stated firmly, looking back at me.

“I can take care of myself,” I responded, staring him in the eyes.

“Fine, we leave tomorrow morning,” He said finally walking away while I sighed in relief and made my way towards my room.

As I walked, I thought back to my conversation with Kaelion the previous night. I had hoped he was going to tell me how much he regretted what he did to my pack.

“Seliora,” Jackson who was right in front of my door called out to me. “Looks like you had a long night.”

“I was with Kaelion,” I responded but instantly realised how bad it sounded. “We were forced to spend the night together in the Library, the door jammed.”

“You have got him, haven't you?” He asked, with a stern face.

I had known Jackson hated me but this time it was written all over his tone and face.

“I am just trying to do all I can to get out of here alive,” I answered, wondering if he was able to see beyond my little act.

“You might have been able to convince him you have given up this time, Seliora but I know it's all bullshit. You will never be able to let go of what we did to your pack,” Jackson uttered, stepping closer towards me.

“Yes but I know when to give up trying to fight and believe it or not, I have,” I muttered, walking away as my heart raced.

If Jackson could easily see through my act, it was only a matter of time till Kaelion found out.

Without looking back, I hurried into my room and locked the door behind me. I then brought out a small old diary that I had earlier taken from the library in one of the boxes before Kaelion woke up.

“The history of the Obsidian fang pack,” The cover of the diary read, further sparking my curiosity.

After Kaelion confessed to not feeling any remorse about wiping out my pack, it only gave me more reasons to push through with my revenge plan.

I didn't care that he wanted to let me go after it was all over, all I cared about was Justice.

I instantly opened up the book and read through it but the last line at the end caught my attention.

“The Obsidian Fang pack can only be weakened by a moonstone called kysnite,” I read in a low tone with a smile on my face.

Back in my pack, Father made sure we took classes on where to find rare stones.

“I need to find a large river,” I muttered.

It was one of the places where I could find a kysnite.

This was it, all I needed to end Kaelion.

All I had to do was go on this trip with him and make him listen as the man in the drawing cleared my father's name.

Afterwards, I would lure him to a forest and weaken him with the stone.
