Semua Bab Moon's Call: Bab 21 - Bab 30

"What's the Amphisbaena?" Theresa who had risen from her chair and had watched the couple in concerned silence, finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "I've never heard of it before.""According to history, the Amphisbaena was spawned from the blood of the Gorgon, Medusa. It's a serpent which has two venomous heads at the head and the rear, and one can hardly tell the main head from the rear head."Herrick met Darius outside the house and announced. "The two-headed serpents are approaching the village; we have to stop them now."Darius stared at the horizon then instructed: "Herrick, get Moon's Call as quickly as you can; we can't do this without him!" He turned to the other men gathered around him. "The others, with me!" He shifted into a wolf and Astrophel and the other men did the same then they all darted out of the village.Herrick shifted into a wolf and darted the other way in search of Lycidas while Elaine and Theresa came out

Claire stood by the window, staring out with her arms folded under her chest, while Stella sat on the chair. Claire had a serious and dark look on her face as if she was thinking about something."That was a close call, Claire... I think we should listen to your mother and stop going off to the meadow all by ourselves," Stella started to nervously say to her, sensing her foul mood."Would you just shut up and let me think for a minute?!" Claire snapped at her over her shoulder. "It is your fault we were out there in the first place, unprotected!"Stella's eyes widened in shock. Claire was always fond of putting all the blame on her. "But, you-"Claire cut her short. "We would not have had that damn creature after us if you didn't want to go to the meadow and sulk over Astrophel!"Stella solemnly looked away without a word. She knew Claire mostly taunted her with the knowledge of her crush for Astrophel, her brother, and sometimes even threate

"You sent the letter, like I asked?" Darius asked Herrick. Herrick nodded. "I asked sir Lucas to keep the part about her mysterious powers, confidential." "Let's just hope he will," Darius said. "I wonder what that slut of a queen would do if she found out about the new events. We can't trust anyone too. Tell the guardians they are not to mention this to any other ear, not even their mates'!" Herrick nodded and got up to leave when Elaine appeared in the doorway. Herrick acknowledged her with a nod and walked past her, while Elaine walked towards her husband and occupied the seat Herrick had just vacated. "You look troubled; I can feel it," Darius said to her. "We need to talk," she replied flatly. "Is the girl okay?" Darius asked in concern. "This is not exactly about the girl," she said, "This is about our children." Darius leaned back into the backrest of his seat. "What is it?" "This is about Astrophel and Claire... Darius, haven't you noticed anything unusual?" D

"You are hungry," he told her still offloading the contents in the basket. She was about to deny his words when her stomach suddenly growled in support, and she saw a subtle smug smile lift the corner of his lips. He had sensed it even before her stomach growled out, betraying her. How did he know all things about her? He seemed to be able to read her like an open book, which was weird. "I'll cook," he said then carried the basket still containing some food ingredients into the kitchen, and she watched him, surprised.It was no stress watching him move around in the small kitchen because the dining table was overlooking the kitchen, and one could easily see into the kitchen without having to stand up or lean to the side.He scoffed when he noticed her surprised lifted brow. "Apparently, you don't believe that I can cook." He picked up a glinting sharp knife which she suspected that he used in gutting the animals he hunted or that were caught in his traps. "Yeaaa...." He drawled. "Wi

"It's your favourite meal," Stella said to Astrophel, who was gutting a skinned hare on another counter beside her. He only glanced at her without a word, and she pursed her lips, took a clean rag, and lifted the lid of the deep pot where the soup was boiling. She added some spices and stirred the contents.She nervously glanced at Astrophel from the corner of her eye. All her efforts to get his attention or start up a meaningful conversation had been to no avail. He acted as if he wasn't even in the kitchen with her. All she got for every question she asked him was a grunt, or the shake of his head, and frustration was slowly beginning to eat into her at her futile attempts to get him to talk to her. Why was it so easy for Theresa to get everyone to like her? What was so special about Theresa that Astrophel seemed to tail her like a pup?She moved a little bit closer to him, and turned around to back the stove so that she could watch him work.He had opened the stomach of the ha
