LOGINSurprise! A third chapter because the last one got too long and I decided to split it into two ٩(ˊᗜˋ )و
I think I got home so fast I almost rivaled the speed of Atticus and Louis.Noah's library now seemed as empty and gloomy as it had been when I first entered it. Since my husband had given me my own library as a gift, I had hardly set foot in it. I thought I had everything in the collection Noah had created for me, full of books on medicine, healing potions, and romance novels.But now, I needed a book that was only available there. I knew it. The cover I saw in that lucid vision wasn't at all familiar to me, which meant there wasn't a copy in my library.“Holly, wait!” Louis caught up with me as I was on my way to climb the ladder, holding me in place to stop me “You could hurt yourself! I still remember the General ordering me not to let you near that ladder, in case I didn’t want to see you fall and break a leg or something.” He sighed, as if it were inevitable “Just tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll get it for you.”“It’s a book!” I explained, starting to pace back and fort
Most of the wolves liked to pray in the chapel in town, but I always preferred that place. Legends said it had been built at a time when the priestesses of the Goddess, those who spoke directly to the Moon, still walked among us, practicing magic and performing miracles. It was all very simple, but I always felt something solemn when I knelt near the statue carved directly into the stone in the center of the temple, an image of the Goddess with open arms, her hands turned towards us.“I… I’m sure you know why I’m here, oh, Sacred Moon,” I said in my mind, my knees on the ground and my hands clasped. “I know I have no right to ask for anything more after what you did for Noah. I will always be grateful that you saved the man I love, but… I also know that he is part of your plans. There is no one more worthy than him t
“Okay, Noah. This time, just try to stand up. You being able to stand on your own is enough.” Elliott said, his arms outstretched, ready to catch Noah at any sign that he was about to fall.From where I was, sitting on the edge of the bed, I watched with my heart in my hands as Noah put his feet on the floor once more, beginning to try and force his legs to have enough strength to keep him standing. I had already lost count of how many times he had done that that day, but his body always ended up falling back towards the bed again.Most of his bandages were no longer needed, but the closed wounds were becoming gigantic scars, especially on his chest. The others that still needed care rarely bled now, and, as grateful as I was to the Goddess that his healing process was nearing its end, it was impossible for me not to be nervous. Because I knew that, the instant Alpha Kaia heard the news that he was about to walk again, the date for the victory feast would be set.That day, when she ca
Holly had left home, at some point.No one in the house, not even Atticus, had confirmed it to me, but I knew something had happened. I knew my wife and her mannerisms, and in recent days she had been more than just sad. She was frustrated. I could hear it in her voice, feel it in the touch of her hands, even in the way she sometimes hugged me.I wasn't even surprised she had been stubborn and disobeyed me. In the end, I was right to think that no one would be able to watch over her like I could. As long as I was confined to that bed, only the Goddess knew how many times my mate would manage to escape. Although, in recent days, I felt that she was no longer interested in the outside world.I could only imagine that she met my mother and saw with her own eyes how futile her insistence was.When Cassian won something, there was no fighting back. I had learned that so, so long ago that even getting angry seemed pointless now. After all, for the first time in my life, I had more to live f
The anger and contempt in her voice made me tremble, and finally, I understood why her words were hurting me so much.The truth is, I loved Alpha Kaia's attention, even though we saw each other relatively little. I liked the false feeling that I now had a mother. Someone who was kind and cared about me.And to be treated that way, even by her, was… terribly painful. Like being rejected twice by my mother.“Goddess, how did things end up like this…” Noah’s mother sighed “No, wait, I think I know who put those ridiculous ideas in your head. It was that scoundrel Lunefar, wasn’t it?” she growled “Sometimes, I feel like tearing up that damn peace treaty with the Lunefar and kicking him completely out of my pack! Wasn’t it enough when Noah was a boy and he kept poisoning him against his brother, forcing my son to invent lies about Cassian, and now this! He’s even decided to use you in his games…”“What?” I blinked, incredulous “What did you say about Noah?”“What did you just hear! It’s not
“Alpha…” I finally said, straightening my spine and keeping my voice as steady as I could. “Do you remember the night of the attack?”“Uh? Of course,” she replied, her expression skeptical as if she were beginning to think I was disoriented by fear. “I went to the northern borders, where the wolves they brought were concentrating.”"But you didn't see the chimera, did you?"“No. I never even imagined they would be capable of breaking all the Goddess’s commandments and using their magic to create something so hideous,” she growled. “If I had known, I would have gone east immediately to confront that monster myself.”“I know.” I nodded, nervously twisting my fingers in my lap.
Anyone would call me crazy for still thinking about running away, but… The wedding was the next day and, as I gazed at the moon through the window, anxiety grew in my chest, threatening to leave me breathless.I
I brought the runaway girl to my house because I know she won't have a chance to try to escape here.Did I need to put her in my room and on my bed for that? Probably not. But here we were.She didn't stop crying and trembling the whole way, not even when I gently tucked her into my
"Get ready, Noah! I'm going to shoot the arrow!"“I already told you…!” I growled, anger burning in my blood as I felt the wind change and moved my sword to split the arrow that was approaching my arm “Stop warning me! Do you think our enemies will have mercy on me and send a warning before trying
She's here. The little thing. There's a jumble of smells around me, but it seems I can only smell hers, filling my lungs and driving my wolf crazy.But more than that, I can smell the fear. Not just hers, but everyone's here. One of my men had heard the rumor that only the Moonjoys had been greedy e
