Chapter 31: CarpetI cough when I shake off the fabrics that are covering the couches. It is so full of dust that it seems like years have passed since it has been clean.It is afternoon and a while ago, someone came here to inform Gideon about something. I didn't get the chance to know what it was all about since they went out to talk and after that Gideon said that he needed to leave as there is an important thing he needed to do and I just said that it was okay. I didn't ask what it was all about because it seems like it was a confidential and I dont have the right to interfere in his works as the future Alpha.I was wondering why Gideon Morris is known as a ruthless leader, he is so kind to me and to his people and I don't think he deserves that title. I heard it when I came here, outside the forest, when I am on my journey That time, I thought I was lost. Thankfully there are residents that I will pass through so I asked them about the forest where the werewolves are residing, th

Chapter 33: MaskI smiled as I looked around the mansion. The ambiance has changed into a good one. I am hoping that when I come back, it will be the same. I looked in front of me when I saw Gideon, he pulled the bag in my hands as he held my hands using his other hands.“I will accompany you until you reach the Cravens manor”, he informed me. I wanted to decline his offer after he said those words but he already started walking while pulling my right hand.We came out from the mansion but I stopped when I saw Adlai together with an old man.“ We need you to confirm something, someone died inside the well”, I got nervous when Adlai said those words. Gideon looked at me and worried is plastered to his face.I smiled at him because his people need him, he should prioritize them more than me.“I can take care of myself. Your people need you”, I said as I tried pulling my bags in his hands.“But it was dangerous, Calliope”, he said looking so anxious.“ I will drop her off”, I looked at

Chapter 35: Cold “How many times do I have to tell you that I am seriously, super duper okay, Elon. Okay?”, I said to Elon. I am starting to get annoyed by him. He came—Oh scratch that, they came here to ask me if I am okay and this the nth time he asked me the same questions. They are wearing their armor as they are ready to launch an attack into the forest but thankfully, someone informed them that I am already here. Elon said that Master Aeneas told them to be ready as per the council requested. I wanna talk to Elon privately since he is the only person whom I told that I will stay in the werewolves' lair because I think that that is the right thing to do. I wanna asked him what happened here while I am inside the forest. I look around as if I don't know what to do. I don't know how the knights fit inside of my room. If you will calculate it, they are almost twenty and as I was saying, they are still wearing their full armor. How the hell can they breathe in the small–well it w

Chapter 37: Daunted“Calliope?”, I was stunned when I heard her voice as my eyes became widened while I was staring at this man. He just raised one of his eyebrows, still breathing hard.“What are you doing here?”She asked why I slowly turned my head to where she was as I wave my hands a little. She is looking at me confused, that's why I answered her.“He–Hello, Miss Zipporah”, I said as I smiled to her forcely and I dont know how my face turned out when I did that. “How did you find this place?”, she asked again as I was so nervous when I noticed the people in her back. It is the council and they are all wearing their hoods.I cannot see their faces as they where bowing a little and added to that, they are all staying in the darkness, porbably they dont want me to identify themselves. No human nor other creatures have seen their faces before, except for Zipporah, I think it is because she isn't scared by the people whom who can judge her after their wrong judgment. What would you e

Chapter 39: EffortI opened my eyes and I don't know if what I am seeing is true. I saw Aziel staring at me so I closed my eyes again trying to be sane as much as possible as I could. And I am really just imagining things when I open my eyes again. He was not here so yeah, I am just hallucinating things.I slowly sit down, my eyes landed on the table and above to it is the tray of foods given by Miss Penelope and I notice the medicine behind that is placed also on the tray.I fell asleep so maybe Miss Penelope didn't bother me as she just put the medicine on the tray. I slowly stand as I want to eat even just a little before drinking the medicine. I just ate a three spoon of rice and a little bit of vegetables. I don't wanna really eat because I can't swallow the food but if I really want to feel okay I need to eat this. I take a water after drinking the medicine and I just stare into something for a couple of minutes before deciding to lie on the bed again. My headache is mild compa
