FLASHBACK

AILEEN’S POV

“Are you saying that I need to eat this meat? It is raw!” I complained and glanced at the meat on the table, I wanted to retch but it looked so appetizing.

“You’re drooling.” The man said to me and I immediately raised my hands to clean my mouth and sure enough, there was saliva running down my cheeks. I glared at him and stubbornly pursed my lips and looked away; I wasn’t going to eat raw food. Food that was still oozing blood is raw! The man sighed and sat down on the other chair that was close to the seat I was supposed to sit on, he crossed his long legs and stared at me; hard. It was cold and judging. The playful demeanor I had seen was completely gone and the person in front of me was a brand new person, a brand new character.

“Miss, you might not know this, but there are other people out there who are like you, I am one as well. Since I was born as a werewolf, I don’t know how it feels to suddenly start eating raw meat or any of that and I know that you are confused about everything. However, if you do not feed yourself with this, I assure you that very soon, human flesh will be what you want to consume.” The man said flatly and my eyes widened.

“W… what do you mean?”

“You have been starving yourself for a week now, for even a normal human, you would be able to eat anything that comes your way if you were so hungry, the same goes for our kind, only that, it would be more brutal.” The man continued, the more he spoke, the more dread filled my stomach. What the heck was he saying?!

“I take it that you have already begun to feel it? Sense it? The delicious smell of human flesh, you imagine feeling the taste in your mouth and the blood dripping from your lips, you imagine tearing your hands into the skin and relishing the taste of their flesh…”

“No… stop.”

“That is one of the reasons why you don’t want to step outside, you don’t want to do anything like that so you locked the doors and isolated yourself. Let me tell you, against the strength of a werewolf, those doors will do nothing. You can break them apart like butter, they would not protect the people outside from you, neither will it stop you, so please, just eat so you won’t do something that you will not regret.”

I bit my lips, everything he said was true. I had begun to crave human flesh, but could I really eat that? Raw meat? I gulped; my lips trembled as I walked towards the table. His words continued to echo in my ears as I sat down, I reached out to take the fork and cut a piece of the meat. The fork sliced through it like butter and just like before, the delectable scent wafted from the meat and into my nose.

I closed my eyes and took a bite, just a small bit and I was prepared to gag, prepared to vomit, but it was pleasant. The raw meat tasted good, it didn’t taste bad, and then I knew, I was hungry. I was starved. Without warning, I started gobbling down the food without any sense of decency, tears flowed down my eyes. It was as if I was betraying the part of me that was human but I was also embracing my new side, my animalistic side.

Truth to be told, I was scared and I told him as we talked. Xander, his name, he told me that it was okay but I shouldn’t let the fear get to me. If I let it, it would lead to disastrous effects; I didn’t listen and look where it got me.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

Someone, please, please save me.

I was transforming, I let the fear control me, it took over and now, I would be known as a freak. I lowered my head, the voices were telling me to run, but where could I run to? I was cornered; everyone was staring at me and even if I was able to run away, what next? What would I do next?

My body trembled, it was getting more painful. I needed something to cool my skin, to cool my heart, I needed him. That silver eyed man. I prayed for him to come, would he hear my prayers? Could he feel my hope?

I wanted to give up, I was about to give up when I heard the doors to the café open and at that moment, I felt it. My entire soul was screaming ‘mate’. Ah yes, Xander told me, he told me that the silver eyed man I met was my mate and his master, he was the one who sent Xander to look for me. He was here.

He walked towards me, his strides were fast but unhurried, he seemed to reach me with just seven steps, I longed for his cool arms and once they embraced me, I melted. The hotness in my skin cooled to an extent and the pain reduced, it didn’t leave, but it reduced and I welcomed it. He carried me in his arms and kissed my forehead, I could feel the rhythmic beat of his heart and it was comforting, he whispered into my ears, “You have done well, now you can rest, I will protect you.” Those words held a spell it seemed, for it lured me to sleep, and sleep I did.

The world had gone dark but I could also see light, the light that was coming for me. From deep within my consciousness, I could hear voices, their voices. One time, I heard the voice of an old man, he said, “Has she woken up? It’s been four days.” And that familiar voice, the person was still holding me so gently replied, “She will soon wake up, and when she does, it’ll be more painful than this so let her sleep.”

    CHAPTER 109 {THE END} AUTHOR'S POV “Luna Aileen is still bleeding, bring in some hot water and fresh towels. Quickly!” Servants scurried about in the corridors and hallways as Aileen’s screams of pain rang throughout the entire place. Her curses were also loud enough for people to hear, if she wasn't in a critical condition, it would have been funny. Meanwhile, Joshua was pacing in front of the doors, the smell of his mate's blood was making him more agitated. Joshua had changed, his hair had grown a bit longer, his eyes lighter. He had a half crescent moon on his forehead, a symbol of the Protector. He looked a bit mature now but everyone could feel the nervousness and pain rolling off of him in waves. He winced when Aileen let out another string of curses. “If you impregnate me again, Joshua, I'll make sure to cut it off! I'll castrate you! Arghh!” “Push, Luna Aileen, I can see its head.” “Urghhh!” Aileen let out another scream and in the span of some hours, the cries of ne

    Chapter 108AILEEN'S POV “Years ago, my parents were killed by the Dark Realm Lord, just before Sera the Dark Realm was destroyed. I was already a child who had knowledge of those things so I wanted revenge. I joined Sera as a spy, I and my right hand man, Osris started to look for how to get revenge since his parents were also killed and I came across a prophecy. It talked about you and your powers. I don't exactly remember how it goes but it says that anyone who controls your powers would be able to control the werewolf world. I was scared that Sera would find out and she would want to use you. I tried to kill you, as you know. I changed all the books containing your powers so she didn't find out. A lot of people listened to me instead of her. So yeah, all along, I only wanted to kill you because I didn't want you to fall into Sera's hands.” Terry explained as he took us to the runes. I didn't say a word but I didn't think I expected this. I always thought that he was the bad gu

    Chapter 107 JOSHUA'S POV “Ugh…” I let out a cry of agony. My chest, along with the rest of my body, was in such excruciating pain that it seemed like I was on fire. Sera had given me something, but she did not disclose the name of the substance; however, it was poisonous. My intestines felt as if they were being gnawed on by a million ants, in addition to the sensation that I was on fire myself. In the beginning, I was cold, but as time went on, the temperature rose so much and then afterwards, I was unable to feel my arms and legs. After then, my eyes turned completely dark, and I was unable to see anything. In spite of the fact that I waited for my hearing to go out as well, the sound was still excruciatingly loud, and the beating that came from the room next to mine was a form of torment. Those three women who came with Aileen were being punished by Sera. To my great relief, Xander and Berry were not present, and neither were the townspeople. So at least, some people were

    Chapter 106 AILEEN'S POV“Aileen, Sera, she... she..." Both Elysia and Lia came to a complete stop directly across from us, their eyes widened in surprise. They came to issue a warning to us about Sera, but it was too late; Sera had already become aware of our presence. "Oh, what? Does all of you here have the same goal in mind? I was taken aback when I discovered that the woman who had attempted to kill me and then spied on us was actually with Aileen, Elysia, is it? I have been pondering on many ways in which I could trick you and convince you to join my side. Sadly, I will have to put an end to your life at some point, since you're with Aileen. I hope you don't take offence to that.” Sera gave a shrug and started walking in our direction. Instantaneously, my eyes sharpened, and I moved directly in front of Joshua, shielding him. However, she only smiled at us and stopped some meters away from us. “The fact that you came to my territory and attempted to kidnap my man, assassinat

  • TIMELESS: MOONBOUND    Chapter 105

    CHAPTER 105 AUTHOR'S POV Darkness lightened up as the moon rose higher and higher into the sky, and its brilliance descended upon the village below as if there were no problems at all. Owls hooted, insects chirped, and birds sang in the night sky. There was a distinct musical composition that resulted from the sounds, which people would either find irritating or agreeable to the ears. It wasn't just that, though. The villagers gradually emerged from their condition of being puppets, staring at their walls in a state of amazement and wondering what they had been doing when they were in this state.Some of them were overcome with feelings of guilt as they recalled the events that had transpired over the preceding few days. All of these were observed by the pairs of icy blue eyes that were standing in the shadows and watching them with a triumphant smirk on their faces. As they emerged from the shadows, their hair, which was a metallic silver colour, glistened in the wind. They were

    CHAPTER 104AILEEN’S POVWhen I told Elysia and the others about what I had seen the following morning, I made sure to include everything that I had seen, without leaving anything out. For a little period, everyone was silent, and I could see that Elysia was attempting to persuade herself to reveal something to us. On the other hand, I did not speak up because I believed that if it was something that she couldn't readily say, then it had to be really horrible.“The fact of the matter is that the three of us were born in the same way that Sera acquired her abilities.” While Elysia began, I, along with Berry and Xander, was unable to comprehend what she was saying."Could you elaborate on your words just a little bit? I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're talking about."All right... When Sera gained her abilities, we were in the castle. You have to understand that our parents were taken captive many years before the conflict broke out. The master of the dark realm was involved
