CHAPTER 14: ITS TOO LATE FOR ANY REGRETS

On the day of the wedding, he rejected her and to assure Veda that he doesn’t have any feelings for Elowyn he gladly made her think that he wanted to reconcile. Only for him to stab her with his own hands.

It was then that everything went wrong. The moment that she threw herself over the cliff was the very moment that he and Adolf both felt the soulmate link.

It was so strong that they both couldn’t even mistake it for anything.

Watching her fall, laughing hysterically as she called him a murderer, he knew that he had messed up.

At the same time, Adolf smelled and sensed the faint breath of the children that Elowyn was clamoring he had murdered.

To think that she was pregnant, Hilary felt that it was all a lie. He didn’t know how he returned to the pack and how he got through that night, but the next day, he went to the clinic, where he found the healers who proved that Elowyn was pregnant with twins.

When he learnt of that, the pain was unbearable, but he held onto the hope that she was out there alive. After all, the tethering hadn’t been fully cut. He secretly sent his warriors without Veda’s knowledge to search for Elowyn, but to no avail, she wasn’t found. Except for the bag of clothes, he used to lure her to the cliff, nothing of her remained.

After three months, he finally felt it. The pain of the link being ruthlessly severed.

It was worse than what he felt the night she fell off the cliff.

It was so painful. Surprise took him. That was the kind of pain that was only felt when a mate was dead and gone. Very forceful and the impact very deep, as if the Moon Goddess would be trying to make the other mate feel that the other half was no more.

When he thought about how she died and was no longer in the world, Hilary felt pain all over his body.

‘How was she surviving these three months?’ he painfully thought, tears streaming down his cheeks. Completely unaware that his tears were manifesting in reality.

Veda watched with terror as the man who was strong as an ox was crying. She didn’t know why he was crying, and that pained her more.

“Do something!” she yelled at the healers, feeling frustrated. She was having a bad premonition about all this and she didn’t like it at all.

However, how could the healers do anything when this was a case that rendered them useless?

Anyway, to put the Luna at ease. They could only do their best to calm the Alpha down.

“Howl!”

However, in the process of calming him down, Hilary suddenly snapped his eyes open and the healers backed away in fear upon seeing the murderous glint in his eyes.

Veda, on the other hand, sighed with relief upon seeing him awake. She scurried forward with a relieved smile, saying, “Hilary, are you fine? How do you feel?”

But the man didn’t glance at her before he shifted right away in front of everyone into a black wolf before dashing out of the room, leaving everyone dumbfounded by the sudden shift.

Seeing him dashing away, Veda furiously glared at the useless beta and warriors who let her husband leave like that and yelled, “Aren’t you going to find him for me?”

And everyone hurried outside to search for their Alpha.

However, Adolf was very fast. He ran so fast, maneuvered anyone who wanted to stop him and ran all the way to the cliff where Elowyn was last seen.

Standing at the cliff with the moon shining over him, he raised his head and howled mournfully that it spread wide and far.

A certain elder in the Whitecrest pack heard that howl and shook his head dejectedly as he mumbled, “It’s too late for any regrets. The destiny is no more!” before stepping into the wooden cabin where a cheerful voice greeted him.

“My love, aren’t you going to help?”

But the elder simply smiled as he shook his head and said, “It’s not our turn to intervene. Moreover, don’t you think that he deserves it?” and let out a chuckle.

The cheerful voice sounded from the dark and said, “Indeed, it’s none of our business. Then come over here. Don’t you owe me?” the voice sounding very sultry, the elder gulped hard before dashing towards the darkness. Completely putting aside, the matter of the Alpha.

What did his heartbreak have anything to do with him?

                             ****

Days passed, and Elowyn was adapting to her new life in the middle of nowhere.

Finally having the power to do what she couldn’t do before; she was feeling very much alive.

With Hazel by her side, she found herself getting stronger and having more motivation to train herself hard.

There wasn’t anyone to disrupt her from her training, and Hazel was very supportive. Perhaps it was because the other party wanted something from her, thus encouraging her to be strong. However, she found that very encouraging and motivating.

Her training for the moment wasn’t as cruel as she thought it would to be honest. Perhaps her path was different from other supernatural beings.

As a seer, she was born to see visions, interpret them and use what she sees to avoid disaster and help those that she should.

Being able to see visions and interpreting them wasn’t that easy, to be honest. Ever since she started the training, she hadn’t yet received any vision but was busy absorbing all the knowledge as best as she could. After all, without understanding how to interpret what she sees, what would be the point of getting any visions?

Besides, there was one thing that she learnt while training. Having a vision is a prelude to disaster. So, at times, not getting one was a good thing.

However, she couldn’t help but feel panicked. After all, her seer ancestor was very good, a prodigy, but she was taking so long. She didn’t want to be slow when so much was at stake.

One day, Hazel came back from one of her outings and brought a bag full of herbs. As a witch, Hazel loved playing with all sorts of potions. That was something that she didn’t understand, to be honest, but whenever she had time, Elowyn loved listening to Hazel explaining all kinds of uses of the potions that she always makes.

After her arrival, Hazel went to her cave, leaving Elowyn to her business.

“I will come and join you in a moment!” Hazel called out as she waved her hand at Elowyn while passing.

At that moment, Elowyn was sitting cross legged in the middle cave enjoying the rays of moonlight entering through the cracks.

“Sure!” Elowyn smilingly nodded before closing her eyes, returning to her meditation state.

However, instead of her mind being steady and calm, it started feeling as if there were stars right in front of her, and it made her feel dizzy. The sensation wasn’t very good at all.

“Darn! Who feels dizzy and sees stars when eyes are closed?” she cursed as she snapped her eyes open, finding her situation a bit too insane for her to keep her sanity.

However, the moment her eyes opened, her jaw dropped to the floor upon seeing where she was.

“Where am I? Am I not supposed to be in the cave right now? Which place is this?” Elowyn shockingly and nervously asked herself out loud, sweat forming on her palms.
