CHAPTER 166~3RD PERSON'S POV~Gabriella, Marie, and her sisters walked through the darkness together. After Marie and her sisters woke up from their deep slumber, they refused to say a word to Gabriella. Marie’s face was directed at the ground. The sound of their foot steps as they walked further into the darkness appeared to her as white, circular waves that spread out from the point of contact between their feet and the ground.Gabriella had used her alpha aura to surround the girls so they wouldn't be affected by the darkness any longer.~A while ago~“So, I was right; you three really are something special,” Candela said softly as blood rolled out of her mouth. The glow in her eyes had dimmed out, and her entire body was covered in wounds that weren’t healing. “Stop talking! Your wounds won't heal if you don't stop talking,” Marie said as tears rushed out of her eyes.Candela smiled. “You’ve always been the shyest of my daughters. Now you've become strong enough to protect yours
CHAPTER 167~3RD PERSON’S POV~“The moon goddess created a few special immortal beings that are currently hiding in so many different places in the world. And this may seem strange, but the blacksmith is one of those beings. Seven hundred years ago, he lost something important, and this caused him to give up all the good in him to become what he is today. So, There’s one thing you should know before approaching the blacksmith,” Margret said.“What’s that?” Gabriella asked.“The blacksmith isn't an abyss demon, so your new alpha aura won't affect him. His power may seem a lot like that of an abyss demon, but he's far from one,” Margret replied.~Present~“Hey,” Gabriella said as she stepped forward.The blacksmith stood quietly, staring directly at Gabriella. Black smoke rose from his body into the air, and small sparks flew out in random directions.“Something is wrong here,” Derren said.“What do you mean?” Angela asked. “The blacksmith’s body changed as soon as he came out of that
CHAPTER 168~3RD PERSON'S POV~“I have just one question, though,” Angela said. She, Derren, and Valerie had already stepped into the cottage and were now sitting on stools provided to them by Daniella.“A question?” Daniella asked.“Yeah, why did you create the darkness that hides your cottage from the outside world? And what sort of magic did you use?” Angela asked.“Oh, I didn't create the darkness; it was a result of the dark energy that possessed me after the death of Darwin. The darkness strips away all good from whoever steps into it and slowly drains or rewrites your memories. You guys probably weren't affected because your magic was stronger than it,” Daniella explained.“Yeah, I quickly figured out that something was wrong with the memory the darkness was showing us. It felt so real; it felt like that woman was really my mother, and all of that really happened,” Marie said softly, staring at the ground.“But she was,” Daniella replied, turning to her.“What?” Marie asked.“T
CHAPTER 169~3RD PERSON'S POV~Daniella stared quietly at Anaya's body. Anaya looked completely lifeless—her skin had gone gray and her eyes had gone completely black. Dark gray veins bulged out of the sides of her face and limbs.“So... can you heal her?” Gabriella asked.“I’m not sure; I've never used my healing abilities to remove dark energy from a person's body before. I only ever heal wounds and treat sick animals. This dark energy is blocking all forms of life energy this woman might have had, so as it is, I can't sense any life in her,” Daniella replied.“Please just try, you're our only hope now,” Gabriella said with worry on her face.Daniella nodded, then turned back to Anaya's body. “Maybe, just maybe, if I can push my magic further than I've ever had to before, I can expel the darkness that holds this soul from soaring free,” she thought to herself.She placed her palms on Anaya's chest, closed her eyes, and pushed out a soft sigh. As she did, her palm began to glow. ~•~
CHAPTER 170~3RD PERSON’S POV~“This meeting shall now commence,” Anaya said as she pushed out a soft breath, her eyes closed. She sat at a table in the Mortimer mansion with Steven, Gabriella, Mary, Derren, Maria, Gregory, and Daniella. They all carried serious expressions on their faces, waiting for what Anaya would say next.“As it stands, the werewolves are no longer safe from harm now that our fellow werewolves have begun seeking power from abyss demons. Two alphas betrayed the werewolf world, and now, apart from the people sitted in this room, I don't know who to trust anymore,” Anaya said with a stern tone.“My lady, with us by your side, you do not need to rely on any outside help. We are all you need,” Steven said.“Yeah, I know that. Currently, we don't know how many abyss demons dwell in the mortal realm as we speak. So I urge you to keep the existence of these things among yourselves. If that information gets into the wrong hands, it could lead to unanticipated disasters.
CHAPTER 171~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, Tamara has been defeated. She has regained her senses and switched sides,” Clarabelle said, relaxing on her throne. She carried a blank expression on her face and rested her cheek on her right fist. “Yes, my queen. Tamara has now gone back to being Daniella, the moon goddess's phoenix. If you want, I can go punish her for betraying you,” the unknown said. He was on one knee, and his head was lowered. Mammon and Greta stood behind him, waiting for Clarabelle to give them their next orders. “No, that won't be necessary. It's time to move on to the third phase of our plans. Release the abyss demons into the earth so they can start feeding on humans. Don’t release too many at once so you can blame it on the werewolves,” Clarabelle said."Alright, my queen, I'll get to that right away,” the Unknown replied, then got back on his feet and turned around to leave. Mammon and Greta followed him, and they all disappeared into a small portal.Clarabelle just
CHAPTER 172~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, this is a few weeks after the whole werewolf dilemma between Lady Anaya and The Unknown. Everyone has forgotten about the incident and has continued to live peaceful lives.But I and my friends have taken an interest in the matter of supernaturals and have decided to journey into the deepest, darkest parts of Willowcrest’s forests to find out if there are really creatures unknown to humans living in our world,We don't know what we'll find, but I have a feeling it's going to be good.” A teenage boy with glasses spoke, facing a camera that was being held by his friend. Two females who carried flash lights stood behind him. The moon was full, the forest was as dark as ever, and the sounds from different nocturnal animals could be heard from multiple directions.The four of them walked deeper and deeper into the forest, kicking stones and sticks around in hopes of finding something unnatural and exciting. They talked and laughed with each other as they
CHAPTER 173 ~3RD PERSON’S POV~ Anaya and Mary sat quietly at the dining table early in the morning. A cup of hot tea sat in front of Anaya, and a bowl of noodles sat in front of Mary. Mary lifted her fork from the table and dipped it into her bowl. She spun it around once and lifted it out of the bowl and into her mouth. She turned to Anaya as she chewed slowly and stared at her blankly for a few seconds. “How did your meeting with the leaders go?” Mary asked after she had swallowed. “The same as usual. I’m always trying to tame them and put them in their place. The last meeting wasn’t any different,” Anaya said softly, raising her cup to her lips. “But they agreed to your proposal, right?” Mary asked. "Yes, they did. What choice do they have?” Anaya replied. She carried a blank expression on her face and sipped her tea gently. Mary turned back to her bowl and went quiet for a moment. As she swallowed another lock of noodles, she said, “I’ve been thinking.” “Thinking about w
