The Phantom Queen Chapter 21: Undefined Path towards the Aftermath
VALKYRIE"What's that Zak wants from you?" Vance exclaimed from the driver's seat.I let out a sigh. "He threatened me not to tarnish their pack. Apparently, they are offended when I pointed out that the missing teens are all from Rassler——from their territory."He sneered. "What a douche. I don't even see that they're really our ally. Speaking of that, are you really sure that this witch can be trusted? Even if she's Sage's friend, she's still loyal to her coven.""We have no choice but to seek for their help." I looked over the window when Vance pulled over in front of a ranch-style house. No one would suspect that a family of witches was living here because it looked like an ordinary house among the others.When I hopped out of the car, my phone buzzed in my pocket, indicating I had received a message. Gwen messaged me that I must go alone or else, they wouldn't entertain us. Turning to my brother, I gave him a signal to stay put but he shook his head in response."You won't go the
The Phantom Queen Chapter 22: The Impending Revelation
VALKYRIEAfter I'd informed my family about what I'd learned from Mrs. Laveau, I took a quick shower and changed into my windbreaker jacket, tracks pants and running shoes. When my mother found out about my situation with Sage——on how her brother died, she requested to meet her as soon as possible. That it would be better if my mate would finally meet my family to show her that we were good people. I had no complain about that but it was still Sage's decision if she was going to come with me tomorrow. Honestly, we didn't have to do this that soon but we were in critical moment. I wanted to tell Sage that I am a werewolf as soon as possible to break the mind compulsion Voss had inflicted to her. Those vampires could dispel it but I'd rather tell her myself——that we were also part of this strange world. The blood moon would show in the next month already so it would be better for her to learn about what I truly am so that if ever she accept me, we had efficient time to explain things to
The Phantom Queen Chapter 23: Camaraderie Between Distinctions
VALKYRIE"Yes! We won!!" Sage exclaimed as everybody cheered in their own seat. Our ice hockey team was able to score more than the away team of Rassler. I was a little bit impressed that Cayde was able to triumph this game with his speed against the three werewolves who was undercover in the enemy team just like he was. They may have the brute strength but that was going to be useless when you couldn't even catch your opponent and Cayde used that capability to his advantage.My gaze moved to Zak who was definitely furious at the ginger vampire. Of course, that typical boy was the captain of Rassler Team. So cliché of him when he almost smashed Cayde against the barrier of the hockey field but was unsuccessful as the latter had quickly evaded his attack. But I was kinda disappointed that they didn't get to a fight. In the first place, fighting is allowed in ice hockey. I guess that Zak was a coward to get beaten up because he was clearly concerned of his 'reputation'.I smirked at mys
The Phantom Queen Chapter 24: Free From the Bind of Deception
SAGEOnce we got out of the hospital, we headed straight to the Olcan Hill, to Irvine's manor. Pretty much the same, their private guards immediately granted us entry through the gate. I wondered if they knew that the family they were serving wasn't entirely ordinary. Vance had told me that they are werewolves but my mind kept on telling me that they didn't exist at all. He must be joking and wanting to mess up my mind so that I wouldn't figure what Val truly is.I had watched movies about werewolves and read books about their monstrosity. However, I was convinced that they weren't real because there was no basis at all. On the contrary, I believed that vampirism was more like a disease while witches have the power to manipulate things, like a mental power bending nature at their will. But a werewolf? No one would believe that a human could actually turn into a ferocious animal. There was no such scientific explanation about growing furs rapidly on your skin while your body swelling l
The Phantom Queen Chapter 25: Five Months Ago
SAGE"Hey, are you already done?""One more shot!" I shouted out loud. Slowly adjusting my lens, I appreciated the view of our town for a moment before pushing the button of my camera. I scanned the image I captured on my screen first, smiling at the nice angle I got then decided that I would frame it above the headboard of my bed. "Okay... that's a better shot. I'm done, psycho."I heard my brother groaned behind me. "Then let's go down now. I'm sure Mom is already looking for us. See, it's already getting dark, squirt."I hopped off the rock I'd been standing on and walked towards Jace with a hand on my hips. "Just because you're taller than me doesn't mean you're allowed to call me that way."He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Just because you're one year ahead of me doesn't mean you have the right to boss me around. I can call you whatever I want, squirt."Hiding a smile, I playfully pushed him out of the way and ran off. Jace chased after me and because he was a good athlete, he c
The Phantom Queen Chapter 26: Back to the Home of Truth
SAGEOnce my consciousness surfaced out of the dark, it felt like I was freed from a curse—— from an illusion that kept me bound for so long. The sight of the white ceiling of my bedroom was the first thing that welcomed me to reality. Then my eyes slowly moved to my surroundings and I didn't expect that I would see Dana here, staring at me. She was sitting on the side of my bed, concern on her face.When she noticed that I'd finally woken up, she looked like she didn't know what to do. Then I heard shouting outside my room, causing me to frown. It had been a long time since I heard my parents argue and it was when my Ma brought a shrink for me five months ago.Yeah, five months ago."Hey, are you hurt somewhere?" Dana asked, helping me to sit up.I tried to sense myself but for a strange reason, I felt physically good. As I remembered, I tripped in the woods, running from something. Or rather from someone I didn't expect that would bring me to the hardest truth. Val, my girlfriend——
The Phantom Queen Chapter 27: Beside the Lone Wolf
VALKYRIE"Again!" Oscar shouted.Pressing my hands on the ground, I got up on my feet and prearranged myself in a fighting stance. I glared at Enzo who was waiting for me to attack as he stood inches away from me. Some of our pack warriors surrounded us, watching our one-to-one combat that was happening at the center platform of the barracks.With my heightened speed, I skipped the distance between us and threw a roundhouse kick. However, Enzo evaded it, creating an opening for him to give me a hook punch which I dodged quickly by winding backward. Then I surged forward to lock my arm around his neck, slamming him down on the floor with a loud grunt out of my mouth. Enzo struggled while I squeezed his neck more tightly. As I felt his body weakened, I'd thought that he was going to yield already but I suddenly found myself being flipped around before my back crashed on the ground. And the next thing I knew, Enzo already pinned me in a deadlock, putting his legs above my neck and torso
The Phantom Queen Chapter 28: Leaping Through Differences
VALKYRIEIt was the first Tuesday of the month and everyone was still hyped about the Homecoming party last week. Contrary to the vibes around the school, I was in the hiding mood, careful not to be seen by my mate to the extent that I didn't eat my lunch in the cafeteria. Despite that, my entire senses were focused on her so I knew exactly if she was close to my parameter or not. Vance and Esther had been pushing me to just do it but I didn't know what to expect once I confronted her. I was actually beyond nervous and didn't want to mess it up again.However, I would see her in our last class so it was going to be my moment to turn the table around for the both of us. As I walked slowly to the classroom, I gathered that she was still not in her usual seat which was in front of mine. Sighing in relief, I sat on my chair, watching the students entered one by one. But once she strode into the room while laughing at Ethan beside her, the world stopped its pace. I didn't know how much I m
