#Chapter57Aries BlackwoodI gripped my hair tighter. What had I done? I had said the cruellest words to her. I didn’t mean it. I don’t hate you.“I hate the fact that you exist.” No, I don’t. “I hate the fact that you were made for me. I don’t want you.” I want you even if it’s a sin. “I never will. Till my dying breath.” Lies.All the words that I spoke were lies. I was afraid that I was starting to fall for this human. This weak little human had somehow managed to take a place in my heart over the week that I had watched her.The more I watched her, the more she reminded me of Althea. But her looks broke me out of her lies. I guess not my heart. My heart had started to betray me. It had given a space to someone else that was not Althea. But I cannot let this frail human be heartbroken just as I was.I could never accept her even though every part of my soul screamed at me to just take her. But I already belonged to another and there was no room for anyone else.I’ll rathe
#Chapter58Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonPain. Immense pain.That’s what I woke up to. My whole body screamed in pain. With great difficulty, I opened my eyes to look at the wooden roof.I blinked my eyes several times to remember what had happened. How I ended up here. I leaned on my elbow and slowly raised myself up. I looked around me. I was lying on a thin bedding on the floor, in the far corner of this tiny, almost empty room.The room only had a few books lying on the other corner and a bag next to it. I notice the old looking logs that was built like a wall around, leaving a small gap in the middle of one wall, forming a window. Where was I? Where was this?“So, you’re finally up huh?” The voice makes me jump back away, and I ended up slamming my head on the wooden wall. Everything went black for a second and my head started to spin until finally I felt the pain. “Oww.”“You shouldn’t hurt your body anymore.” She walks towards me. Since I have no more place to run, I just
#Chapter59Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonHer eyes flicker between mine as she says. “Because I’m a witch.”A witch?But she looks so normal. So, like me. And she seems so nice. Why would anyone want to harm her?She turns to leave but I hold on to her hands. “But- but why would anyone harm you?”She sighs and shakes her head. “Because they are a cruel being. They only think about their own.” She almost growls it out. “I don’t need to do anything, me being a witch is enough for them to want to capture me.”“Althea, they will force me into doing things for them. And nothing good will ever come out of it. I have managed to escape him once and I don’t intend to be his prisoner, a second time.” She tugs her hand free.“But they are not like whoever you think they might be. They are goo-”“Stop it, Althea. Don’t say that. You are a human, so you won’t understand but I have been there myself. I know how dark he is. How evil he is. They are all the same Althea.” She shakes her head
#Chapter60Third PersonWhen Evelyn was only a distance away, she looked back. The wooden cottage where she had left her. All alone. With no one to defend her if something or someone else comes over.She sighed as she started to turn back, but her steps stooped as soon as she felt his disgusting presence. She quickly put a shield around her so, she was safe from him. At least for now. She saw his dark figure come through the trees and head toward the cottage. No. No. No. Her mind kept repeating itself.But she couldn’t make her feet to move as she watched him slam the door down. She waited and waited as she prayed the goddess to keep her safe. Minutes passed since. Unable to bear it anymore, Evelyn decided against her fears and entered the small cottage that she had been watching over. The closer she reached to the room that she left Althea in, the more of his dark powers she could feel. This monster. The monster that she escaped from, was here. She knew that he wanted her. Her
#Chapter61Third PersonAlex and Matt stood on the doorway as they looked at the scene in front of them. Alex slowly moved towards them as Matt stood frozen on his place unable to tear his eyes off them. Alex stopped at the foot of Althea’s body as she laid there almost lifeless, her body wrapped in bandages, her dress covered with red patches of wet and dry blood. It hurt his heart to see her like that. Even though he had promised himself that he would do anything in his power to protect this tiny human, he had failed to do so.He finally teared his eyes from her body and looked at the Alpha, disregarding the little witch who sat beside him. The Alpha sat on his knees as he looked at Althea’s face with so much pain. His hands clenched into tight fist, sat on his lap as if he was holding back from touching the human, stopping himself from doing what his heart desired.Alex squinted his eyes as he observed the Alpha. His jaws were clenched, veins in his arms were popping out and h
#Chapter62Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonWhere was I?This darkness that surrounds me, hides me from whatever that I fear. Here, I don’t feel a thing. I was safe. I was alone. Nobody. No one will ever reach me here.So, I sit on the darkness with my knees tucked and my arms around my chest. I don’t know if I opened my eyes or if they were already open, but a bright light hits my face, lifting off this darkness that was comforting me.And in the middle of the light, there she stands wearing a long black dress. Her midnight black hair flows free on her back and her coal black eyes shows the sadness in her heart. Then on the other side, there appears another light but this time the light itself was of a figure. Another woman wearing a long white flowy dress. She was like a globe of light in the darkness that she stood.Her silver hair cascades down her back and silver eyes equally filled with the same sadness. They looked the same but completely different. One contrast of another.
#Chapter63Althea Garcia Hela SilvermoonA week had gone by, when they finally allowed me to leave this place. And finally, I didn’t look like a dead person. My limps were still wrapped in bandages. They didn’t hurt too much but the one on my neck was the worst one. It was a miracle that I could whisper some words out. It was scruffy but it was something. And these werewolves had no problems understanding it.When Natalie first saw me in here again, she was bawling her eyes out. She told me off for ever disappearing. But I knew she was only worried. Like the rest. Noah came to visit a few times. He would always try to cheer me up and would stay for an hour or so, before he finally left. But there was this one person that decided to not leave my side. She sat by the sofa on the corner as she looked deep in her thoughts most of the time. I don’t know what was wrong with her. She helped me with everything, and I was thankful for that. As much as Natalie argued that she helped too
#Chapter64Aries BlackwoodI watch her as she lays back on the open field. The rain pours down heavily, soaking her body. Her laughter echoes throughout and a knot forms on my heart. It makes my own lips slightly curl up into a smile as I see her smile and hear her laughter. It was a sweet melody to my ear.I wanted to run towards her. I wanted to be the one she held on to. I wanted to bury my face in her neck and smell her sweet scent. I wanted it to be me. I watch her as she makes her way towards the house. Her tiny body now completely soaked. She made me worry about her. It hadn’t been long since she left the hospital. I didn’t want her to infect her wounds or catch a cold.Natalie, please make sure that her bandages are changed, and she doesn’t catch a cold. I link Natalie to look after her, even though I wanted to go there myself. I clenched my hands tightly as I turn back to sit on the chair. I need to find him. He cannot get away with this. Not after hurting what’s mine.
