Before Us Chapter 13
I RETURNED to Kuya Vince's house in a daze. Ate Clara immediately approached me, her face filled with worry, as she saw my continuous crying. She held both sides of my face and looked into my eyes."What happened?" Ate Clara asked, concern was evident in her voice.I smiled bitterly. "I saw him again. He's alive," I said."Why isn't he with you? And why are you crying? Are those tears of joy?" My sister asked, probing further.I turned away from my sister and leaned against the pillar outside Kuya Vince's house. I looked into the distance. I'm glad that he's still alive and fine. But he seems like a total stranger to me. I can't bring myself to embrace him or even touch him. It was as if in his second life, he had taken away my right to enter his life again. I can't blame him."He acted like a total stranger to me earlier in the marketplace," I said. I looked up into the dimming sky, preventing my tears from falling down again. I don't want to feel this way."Don't worry, the day will

"IS your strength coming back?" My father asked me while we were eating in front of the dining table. I paused while chewing and glanced briefly at him."Not completely yet," I replied before continuing to eat. The deafening silence reigned between the two of us once again.Currently, only Dad and I are having dinner tonight. Dani should be with us tonight, but I asked her to let Dad and me have this evening together. The truth is, I want to distance myself from Dani for now. I would prefer that over being together with her, but I don't treat her as a girlfriend, just a friend.One day when I woke up, I felt like I forgot something or left something behind. I couldn't figure out what it was. Was it an object, a person, or a memory? Since that day, it feels like I'm always groping in the dark. Like there's always something missing in me. And then that girl suddenly appeared in my life. I can't deny that I feel something unexplainable for her. Especially when I see her smile, as if I've

"JENNIFER, wait!" I heard Akira call my name.I stopped running. My heart was beating fast when I heard him call me. Does he already remember me? I turned slowly to face him, and his always handsome face greeted me."Can you repeat what you just said?" I asked. I just wanted to make sure I heard it correctly. Or maybe I was just imagining things."I said, wait," he said. He walked towards me, and as he got closer, a wide smile appeared on his lips. He held both of my shoulders."Not that. Repeat what you called me!" I said, a bit annoyed."Jennifer? Is that it?" he asked with a smile."Oh, so you remember me now?" I confirmed."You're my girlfriend who's always mood was like as if you were on your monthly period," he teasingly replied.I should be emotional in this situation. I should be crying and hugging him because his memories have returned. But the opposite is what I feel. Now, I'm angry because of his teasing. All I want to do now is scold him."So, is it true that you tried to m

"THIS is the map of the entire place," Akira said as he laid out a map on the table that he had been holding rolled up earlier.I looked closely at the contents of the map. With the numerous locations and its vastness, it seemed like we would have a hard time searching, especially since there was no specific place where Amara was said to be residing. Furthermore, no one had seen her for a long time. She may already be dead. I don't know! Sometimes, I just want to go crazy and cry out of anger and frustration because I don't know how to find her and if there's even a chance for that to happen."Let's start with the two forests in this area. Those are the most common places a witch like her could possibly reside," Ate Clara suggested.We decided to split into two groups. Akira and I would go together, while Ate Clara, Kuya Vince, and his sister would form the other group. Akira and I chose to explore the Light Woods, while the three of them decided to go to the Dark Woods. It was said th

"AMARA!"Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew. The wind destroyed structures standing all around. The damage was extensive. The screams of the people affected by the destruction could be heard everywhere. Even though it was only afternoon, the sky quickly darkened along with everything that was happening. I could hardly see anything around me.I didn't know where I landed, but I was sure it was far away from where I started. I held onto my left thigh because it was in pain from being trapped under the heavy debris that had fallen from the houses. I tried to transform into a wolf, but my body couldn't handle it. So, I had no choice but to use my powers.I focused my palm on the large object resting on my left leg. I unleashed my power and slowly lifted it off the ground. Then, I directed my hand in the opposite direction and with all the force of my power, I pushed the object away from me.Using my powers, I conjured orange magical dust that glowed, creating a faint light in the surroun

MY vision became blurry as I woke up and opened my eyes. There was a flashlight shining on my face. When my eyes adjusted, I saw Dani. She removed the flashlight from my face and placed it next to me without turning it off.She helped me get up. My whole body still hurt. I looked at my wounds, which were now covered with white cloth. There was no sign of blood on my body, only on the stained clothes."It would be easier for you to regain your strength and heal your wounds if I did it the natural way, but I still value my life. It's difficult to anger a witch who is also a werewolf," Dani jokingly said to me.I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Jennifer's reaction if she saw Dani did that thing to me. Now that we were together again, her face would surely turn into a mix of surprise and jealousy, just like when she saw us together before. She was cute when she was jealous."By the way, thanks for coming," I said to her."Of course I came because you were in danger. I used to thi

"YOU'RE just a Luna, but you're brave enough to face me in a fight. Aren't you afraid for your life?" Amara mocked me.I was the only child of two unmated individuals who later died of illness because of my birth. I was adopted by my father's close friend, who happened to be a high-ranking soldier in our Alpha's pack, and he became Akira's father. I grew up being able to do whatever I wanted without any objections from my adoptive father.When I first saw my mate, Akira, I immediately admired him, and over time, my feelings for him grew deeper. Loving him from a distance was enough for me because I believed that eventually, he would come to me and love me back. But I was wrong. He fell in love with another woman. Was I afraid of losing him? No. He deserves to love who he chooses, and I deserve a man who will love me back, not just because we're mates and compelled to love each other due to our bond.And now, facing Amara, I don't feel any fear of dying at her hands. The only thing I fe

"AMARA!" I called out loudly to her. She paused in the midst of swinging her black sword behind our new Alpha.Akira stood up and noticed her intense weakness. But she tried to stay in her position to protect Clara and Vince. Vince lay on the ground with his head resting on Clara's lap. He had a large wound on his side. Clara couldn't stop crying as she tried to heal Vince's wound, even though she knew it would deplete all her energy.Amara's weapon slowly disappeared from her grasp. I noticed her previously dark eyes becoming even darker. I smiled at her. Finally, after so many years of waiting, I saw her again. Although I often saw and sometimes accompanied her younger version, her true current age and mindset were different. Even in old age, her beauty still prevailed.However, my smile vanished when I saw her being attacked by a purple-colored wolf. How unusual! It was the first time I had seen such a wolf. I could sense that it was not just a werewolf but also had witch blood. Fea
