The Goddess Vessel의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

VANESSA'S P.O.V"I fell unconscious immediately, and when I woke up, I was in the hospital, surrounded by the sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft beeping of machines. There was something I saw and heard before I lost consciousness, though."Adrien's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense with curiosity. "What's that?" he asked, his deep voice low and soothing.My face was etched with confusion, my brow furrowed in concentration. "I heard them saying 'take her back, we need her alive.' Also, there was a man who came, and he was wearing a black ring with the crescent moon carved on it." I shuddered at the memory, my heart racing with anxiety.I looked up at Adrien, and saw his face in deep thought, his eyes narrowed in contemplation. After a while, he looked into my eyes, his gaze soft and reassuring. "I'll help you figure it out, love. Don't think about it anymore."I could only nod my head, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. I had been trying to figure it out, but my mind wa

VANESSA'S P.O.VPRESENT DAY I was too shocked to speak, I didn't know what to say to comfort him. His eyes were drowning in pain and sadness so I did the first thing that popped into my head.Sometimes people don't need meaningless words. They just needed you there and so I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer, not saying a word but yet saying a lot.Saying I'm here now and I won't leave him. Saying he can be vulnerable around me. Saying I won't judge him for his past. And most importantly, saying that I accept him, flaws and all and that I'll stand by him, no matter what.As I held him close, I could feel the tension in his body begin to ease. His arms wrapped around me, holding me tight, and I knew that he needed this. He needed someone to hold him, to comfort him, to remind him that he wasn't alone.We stood there for a long time, holding each other, the only sound the quiet beating of our hearts. It was a moment of raw vulnerability, of unspoken understanding, and I k

Two days had passed since the incident and we were in full blown preparations for the ceremony. Everyone was in a hurry to get things done. I offered to help several times and each time I was given the same answer: "No, you need to rest and conserve your strength for the event itself. You shouldn't be bothered by all these little preparations."As for Adrien, I have been avoiding him since, because I still get flushed whenever I bump into him at home or somewhere in the pack. Needless to say, I was bored out of my mind. Thankfully, an elderly lady, Michelle, noticed my predicament, and allowed me to help out in the kitchen with preparations for light snacks for everyone working. By the time we were done, I was totally drained and decided to go home early."Michelle, I'll be heading home now." I told her with a soft smile on my face."Thanks a lot for helping out, Luna.""It's my pleasure and please call me Nessa." I requested, but she just smiled at me. I turned to go when she called

The shock on their faces lasted for a few seconds before being quickly replaced by anger. At once the rest of her minions stepped towards me. Seems I hit a sore spot. I could take one werewolf, yes, but three at once?! Definitely not. Fear creeped through me and my mind started reeling on how to survive this.I moved fast, sidestepping the first wolf that pounced, narrowly missing a swipe aimed at my throat. I ducked under a second as it leapt, raking its claws across the air where my head had just been. The third wolf circled around, eyes glowing, calculating.They weren't like the first. They weren't angry-they were coordinated. This was a hunt.Still, I wasn't done yet.Using the momentum from my dodge, I grabbed a fistful of dirt and flung it into one of their eyes. It howled in surprise, giving me the chance to land a solid kick to its jaw. Another one lunged, and I spun around a tree, letting it collide headfirst into the trunk.For a moment, just a moment, I had the upper hand.

VANESSA'S P.O.V"I guess that settles it, Luna." The sage replied with a slow nod."What then is the other scroll?" Adrien asked him, his hands on my shoulder still tense.The sage sighed deeply. "There's no easy way to say this, Alpha. Please read it first."Adrien picked up the second scroll on the table and I noticed his face noticeably paled and his sharp icy eyes dimmed.Curiously, I took the letter from his hands and my brows furrowed in confusion.The Curse of the Broken OathIn shadows deep where oaths were torn, Beneath the fang and forest born, A wound was carved in sacred land, By traitor's blood and vengeful hand.The trees remember, roots still weep, As cursed winds through soil creep. The howls shall twist, the hearts shall turn, Until the fire of fate does burn.Madness shall bloom in loyal veins, The harvest rich with ancient chains. And when the star-child wakes in light, Her soul shall stir the boundless night.Yet hope remains though all seems lost, The cu
