MasukChapter 153. Tori's POV Blood. More than I had seen in a while. My chest felt tight, and even though I wanted to stop the bleeding, I couldn't bring myself to move. Larissa winced as she tried to pull out the arrow, but it was so stuck, and she was only able to break out the end. I could hear voices approaching, and my heart started to lung heavily against my chest. She looked at me again, like I was crazy this time around. "Run!" She repeated, and it was like she gave power to my limps, because I ran. I ran even though the broad leaves slapped my face, and roots that are sticking out tried to trip me. I ran, but I didn't run that far. When I was sure that I was at a safe distance, I stopped and hid behind a tree. My breath was heavy, since I wasn't the most athletic person in the world, but I held my hand over my mouth, before I could rat myself out. Three men appeared and the whistled and encircled around Larissa, like she was a priced animal that was
Chapter 152. Tori's POV I couldn't move my feet again, and my legs suddenly felt like they weren't mine. Did she just said that my mother didn't die at child birth? Since I found out the truth the about my mother, I beat my hand across my chest and blamed myself for her death. I was so sure that I had so much bad luck that was why she died. Only to hear that someone else was behind this? Fucking Luna dowager?! Larissa was looking at my face, waiting for a reaction (perhaps she was hoping for a violent one), but I was just standing and staring. "Hey, are you okay?" She snapped her fingers in front of me, as she she wasn't to get me out of a trance. "How did my mother die?" I murmured in a voice that I couldn't recognize as mine. Larissa pressed her hand against her forehead. "Tori, that's not a pleasant story for all of us. It's in the past, let's leave it there." "You weren't the one who had to grow up without the love of a mother. It's my trauma, and i
Chapter 151. Tori's POV I couldn't sleep on my bed as I thought of the task in front of me. I vividly remembered my vision, so therefore, I knew that this wasn't a mistake. I was going to become the Alpha Luna, no matter what Larissa and her mother thought. Was I to reject it, and get the hell out of here, or was I supposed to accept that this was a gift from the goddess and my father? With that thought bouncing around in my head, I finally slept off. I didn't know how long I slept for, but when I woke up, there was a heavy banging on the door– driving a terrible headache into my head. "I'm coming!" I screamed in annoyance as I walked to the door in a zigzag manner. When I opened the door, it was Larissa that was standing at my door. I thought I was dreaming, because when I looked out of the window, it was still dark outside. Was she crazy? "You were sleeping too deep in there. I actually thought that you were dead." She says with sarcasm. "Well, you w
Chapter 150. Adrian's POV "For the love of God, I have been nothing but kind and civil with you people, but if you try to offer my fianceè money like she is some kind of money-hungry non-entity, I will burn this fucking place to the ground." Luna dowager gasps and place her hands over her chest. "Alpha Adrian, how can you say such an awful thing to us? After we have housed and fed you and her for days!" "Oh, please, I'm a millionaire! I can literally go down the town and buy Tori a house now! Don't act like you are a saint who has done a good deed. You were literally trying to kick Tori out right after the ceremony!" Luna dowager didn't like the fact that I was standing up to her, she was so used to everyone kissing her ass, and I wasn't willing to do that. Tori was grabbing my hand, silently begging me to stop, but I wasn't willing. Larissa was quiet too, but I could tell by the look on her face that she shared the same sentiment as her mother. They thought
Chapter 149. Monica's POV I stared at the ceiling as I struggled to catch my bed. I was sweaty and my legs were still shaking under the blanket that I had pulled over my chest. "We should do that every day." Damien chuckled next to me. I shut my eyes cursed myself under my breath. Adrian and Tori were gone for only a few days but as soon as I saw Damien again, we started to have sex. I wanted to be the adult in the situation, I wanted to tell him that it was wrong to be with someone that was my younger brother's age, but he was so persistent. Each time we had sex, he would have this satisfied smug on his face, while I drowned away in guilt. I rolled off the bed with my hands doing it's best to shield my nakedness, I hurried into the bathroom. "Monica, are you good?" Damien called after me, but I ignored him. I quickly put a robe on and washed my face in the sink. "I will never have sex with Damien again." I murmured to myself, but I knew that I was l
Chapter 148. Adrian's POV A prophecy? That wasn't what we were there for. I hated this place, and I wanted Tori and I to leave like tonight. The healer started to twist her body in a manner that I had never seen before. I snorted and the lady beside me threw me a glare. That was the difference between me and them. Centuries of staying in the forest had gotten them so naive and stupid. That's why they believed that a mere person like them would be a medium between the moon goddess and them... "Tori, this is the right place for you. This is your roots, and the blood of your ancestors was shed into this floor." She declared. "Healer, we already know that, but it's hardly of use when we all know that she is leaving. She doesn't belong here. She has a life in the city." Larissa said with a tone that suggested the healer didn't know what she was talking about. Helen turns to Larissa with lips twisted in annoyance. "The way of the goddess is not ours, and she has
