If he followed his heart's desire, Usher would undoubtedly emerge from his hiding place and immediately comfort The Past Vione. He would wipe away the tears that stained The Past Vione's cheeks, then kiss her eyes. He would do anything, even if he had to get down on his knees, as long as it would erase all the grief he had caused The Past Vione.But a shred of reason held Usher back. His fingers clenched the door handle as tightly as his eyes were shut. He reproached himself as he realized how powerless he was in the current situation. Waves of regret washed over him, engulfing Usher once again in the unspeakable void of words. He was like a prisoner trapped in a labyrinth of complex emotions, caught between the desire to change the past immediately and the awareness of a reality that might be unavoidable. His soul rebelled, his heart ached, but he continued to try to resist the emotional urges that overcame him.Usher knew he could not act rashly. While he desperately wanted to erase
Hilary remained silent, as did Addy. Both were silent when not a word came out of The Past Vione's lips, only tears. They exchanged glances, signaling each other, and then Hilary allowed The Past Vione to continue embracing her.Time passed oppressively for The Past Vione. Sadness had overwhelmed her heart, but her tongue couldn't move, unable if she had to tell Hilary and Addy everything.The Past Vione knew that Hilary and Addy were the happiest when she became a Luna. They were the ones most grateful because they realized that no other man could promise her happiness and security but Usher. However, it seemed that they had been misplacing their hopes all along.Disappointment arose and finally made the Past Vione choose to remain silent. Thus, silence replaced words between them, creating an increasingly heavy silence.The Past Vione tightened her embrace around Hilary. She tried to find some peace in Hilary's warm embrace. Her body seemed to be enveloped in peace, which strangely
The Past Vione's sadness grew when she realized that Garth hadn't stopped the car on the way to the palace for no reason. Instead, as a Beta who cared deeply for the Alpha and Luna, Garth wanted to ensure their well-being.Unfortunately, it wasn't Garth's, Hilary's or Addy's attention that The Past Vione wanted now. It was the attention of The Past Usher that she craved. So, her heart sighed. Was it too much to ask for attention from no one but you, Usher?It was truly discouraging, and The Past Vione refused to humiliate herself in front of Garth. So, she did her best to keep a composed expression on her face. She forced a smile on her face and nodded. "Of course, Garth. I'm fine.”But Garth wasn't oblivious. It wasn't easy to fool him. Besides, it wasn't difficult for him to detect a hint of sadness in The Past Vione's eyes. The Past Vione could smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.“I'm relieved to hear that, Luna,” Garth said wisely. He decided not to ask further. But that d
The return of The Past Vione didn't escape Usher's scrutiny. He vividly remembered the events of the past and decided not to miss the opportunity.Usher realized that The Past Vione would be very sad that night, to the point of doubting their love. So, he didn't want to take any chances. He had to meet The Past Vione and make sure that their relationship was okay.Usher reached into his pocket and briefly looked at the half-moon pendant necklace. Then he clasped it firmly before putting it back in his pocket.Usher waited a moment while he carefully watched the footage from the surveillance cameras scattered throughout the palace. His focus was on the large monitor, then shifted to the smaller screens showing different angles, never losing sight of The Past Vione for a moment.His body tensed as he saw The Past Vione leaving the office, sobbing. She seemed so tormented and sad. She was in such pain that guilt tore at Usher's heart.Usher felt unable to watch the surveillance footage a
Silence surrounded them, only the slow and steady rhythm of breaths could be heard. They came from The Past Vione, who slept peacefully in Usher's embrace. Her beautiful face looked tired, but also happy. Unfortunately, this only further confused Usher's feelings and a wave of guilt washed over him.Usher held his breath, trying to hold back the flood of emotions that was consuming him, but it was extremely difficult. Every time he looked at the serene face of The Past Vione, the guilt pressed down harder. His heart thundered with feelings that were difficult to express. He felt truly terrible to realize that Vione, the woman he loved most, was at his side without knowing anything about what was going on between them.Moments later, a warmth rose in the corner of Usher's eyes. Tears threatened to break out and he fought hard not to cry. But memories of the past unexpectedly flooded his mind. He remembered the promises he had made. Promises to always protect Vione and make her happy. U
It was unclear when, but now Rowena realized that she enjoyed wandering through the forest. Alone, with no one to accompany her, she felt the warmth of the forest embrace her with love. Her empty soul was filled, her silent world enlivened by the gentle whisper of the wind and the rustling of the leaves. Each step she took brought her a soothing peace.Rowena's footsteps stopped just as she emerged from the dense canopy of tall trees. Now there were no trees to block her view. So, she lifted her face and her eyes fell on the full moon.Rowena smiled sweetly; her eyes filled with the sparkle of love. Her feelings warmed, and unconsciously her hand rose as if to reach for the full moon. Then her lips spoke softly: "We will meet again, Ivan.”Her hand lowered again and Rowena gave one last smile before continuing her journey. She re-entered the Amerotha Forest, and not long after, a loud roar was heard.Rowena quickened her pace, her heart pounding with unstoppable enthusiasm. She almost
It had always been safe. Besides, the Moon Necklace was not an ordinary object that could be easily misplaced. The reason was that the Moon Necklace was a sacred artifact of an ancient sorcerer whose greatness was legendary, passed down from generation to generation with the utmost care and respect, and only their descendants could use the Moon Necklace because its power was closely tied to their souls. Therefore, it was impossible for Rowena to lose the Moon Necklace without noticing. Of course, she would notice if something happened to the moon necklace. In fact, she should have been able to sense any abnormality when the Moon Necklace disappeared from her.But in reality, Rowena didn't feel anything. For days, her feelings had been normal, peaceful as usual. Especially a few moments ago, she hadn't felt anything strange at all.So, it was understandable that Rowena needed some time to digest the situation. She pondered what was happening, gazing intently at Usher before shifting he
Usher accepted the antidote with mixed feelings. He held the antidote tightly, his fingers squeezing it as if to convey the immense hope he placed in it, yet unable to suppress the other worries that arose.Rowena frowned, noticing the change in Usher's expression. "What is it, Alpha? Is something wrong?""Rowena." Usher swallowed the lump in his throat. He raised his face and looked at Rowena with a confused expression. "I hope the antidote you gave me can cure me, but what if Mireya takes further action and I can't protect myself?" There was bitterness and fear, rebellion against the unexpected. "I may not have found any proof, but my intuition tells me that Mireya's people are already in The Palace." He shook his head in despair. "It could have happened a long time ago."Rowena fell silent. Usher's concerns sounded reasonable. He feared that the recovery of his past self might force Mireya into unexpected actions. Besides, his past self was now under Mireya's control. Therefore, be
