CHAPTER 50~GABRIELLA'S POV~“I'm so sorry; I wasn't thinking straight when I tossed you guys into that pipe. Please forgive me,” Garcia said, bowing to Christine and the other girls as they all used their towels to clean their bodies.We were lucky enough to get them out before the incineration process started. And they were all really angry. The other girls were busy looking for who was responsible for throwing them in the pipe, as I couldn't bring myself to get Garcia in trouble."It's okay; we understand that you just wanted to talk to Gabriella privately. But you should think your plans through first before putting them into play,” Christine said.“I almost got incinerated,” Clarabelle said, looking like she had been traumatized by the whole thing.“I understand, Christine. I promise not to toss you in a trash pipe that leads to your deaths again,” Garcia said.“Or you could stay away from pipes and refrain from tossing people in them,” Marie hopped in, trying to make it clear th
CHAPTER 51~3RD PERSONS POV~It was late at night in the beast-wolf pack territory; the moon was high, and the cold wind that blew by caused the trees to rustle and bow. Unlike many packs, these wolves didn't live in mansions or have fancy clothing.The alpha lived in a cave deep in the woods. It's door was a large rock; he had to move aside every day to go hunting. In their human form, they wore the dried, fury skins of their prey around their back and waist and used the bones of said prey as weapons.The beast wolf hunted only during the day, and at night they would gather around their pack's territory bounds to protect it. Any intruder that decided to attack them would have to go through the beast wolves bounds before they could get into the territory.The beast wolves positioned themselves in three different positions. The first set of wolves protected all roads that led to the Alpha Wolf Cave. The second set of wolves were further away from the alpha's cave, and the third protect
CHAPTER 52~GABRIELLA'S POV~I and the other girls carried Cortana back to our room that night, leaving Garcia at the door. We had her dressed like Cortana, so no one would be suspicious by morning. No one ever looked at Cortana's face or even noticed she was there because of how still she was, so we knew placing Garcia there for an entire day wouldn't change a thing.After bringing Cortana to the room, we placed her on the ground and locked our door. We sat on our beds and turned to each other.“What now?” Maria asked.“Well, I guess we wait for her to wake up in the morning. The last time she woke up was some time before the bell rang, so we'll have to stay awake until she does; otherwise, she'll break through that door and escape my questions again,” I replied.“You mean you'll have to stay awake until she wakes up? I'm going to bed,” Marie said, then pulled her blanket over her head. I stared at her for a moment, then let out a sigh.“You guys can go to sleep if..." I was about to
CHAPTER 53~GABRIELLA'S POV~I knocked on the door to Steven's office, and after a few seconds, Steven's voice sounded, “Come in, it's open."I gently turned the door handle and pushed it open, then stepped into the office as carefully as I could to avoid spilling the food.“Sorry to disturb you; I couldn't find your room, which was locked, so I decided to bring your breakfast here,” I said softly, bowing to him and Gregory.“It's okay, just drop it on the table,” Steven said, pointing toward the area where I was supposed to drop his food. I put down the tray, stepped away from the table, and then reached into a large pocket in my uniform to bring out the book Steven borrowed from me.“Here's your grandfather's book; I'm done with it. The man lived a very strange and mysterious life and talked a lot about the relevant stories in Mortimer history,” I said with a smile.Steven smiled back. “Yes, it is those very mysteries I wish to uncover myself. Maybe, just maybe, there's something th
CHAPTER 54~GABRIELLA'S POV~"Who... are you?” I asked with a confused expression.The female giggled then replied as she raised the hood of her cloak, “Like I said before, I'm a friend.”My eyes widened as they met hers. Her right eye was dark brown, and her left was strangely colored. I had never seen an eye so strange and beautiful in all my days. No, I had; in fact, it was only two days ago that I saw eyes similar to this one. Her eye was dark blue and had white spots that looked like stars; her pupil was white, making it look like a moon in the night sky. The only person I knew had that kind of eye was... Marie."What... do you want?” I asked.“I'm here in search of someone—my sister. I asked around, and I was told a girl who always wore a blindfold was brought here a few years ago,” she answered.“Who's that?” Steven asked, walking toward me.“She says she's looking for someone—one of your maids, to be precise. Should I let her in?” I asked, turning to Steven.“Sure, let her in,
CHAPTER 55~GABRIELLA'S POV~“For over a million years, the moon goddess watched over the world of the supernatural. Deciding the fates of the Lycans and witches alike, she ruled as the most powerful being in existence.One thousand years ago, she created three nameless heralds who would serve the purpose of delivering messages to the beings who roamed the earth.After an atrocity was committed against her, she vanished without a trace, leaving the mortal supernaturals to do as they please. These heralds were left to roam the earth for eternity, acting as spectators of history and watching as the earth changed over time.One day, they all decided to give up their immortality, hoping that one day, once reincarnated, they would be able to serve their master again.Many years later, we were born. Werewolves who had gifts beyond average and eyes that could see not just the physical but so much more. We, the reincarnations of the moon goddesses, are not bound by time or the laws that gover
CHAPTER 56~GABRIELLA'S POV~“It's a little strange. I've never heard of the pack Valerie and her sisters came from. The merigold pack is nowhere on the maps, and no one has spoken of it in any of the books in the library. It's almost like they don't exist,” Steven said, staring at some maps pasted on the wall to the right side of his desk.“They probably were very discreet with their existence to avoid other packs trying to take over their territory,” I replied. It was just me and Steven in his office now; the others had gone to make preparations for their departure.“Yeah. From what Valerie said, I think the lady who rescued them was the same old witch my grandfather described in his book. She probably left the Heralds to set the stage for the holy event.As for the little girl named Margret, she must have been the same little girl who appeared to the first werewolf Mortimer, and must have also appeared to the old lady, asking her to come set the stage for the holy event,” Steven sp
CHAPTER 57~GABRIELLA'S POV~We all gathered in Alpha Steven's office on the day of our departure to go over the entire journey we were about to embark on. I wasn't sure I was ready to go through with this because I hadn't been away from home for a long time, but I had to at least give it a try.“So, the night walkers dwell in a forest toward the north of Willow Crest City; it's a very snowy and cold place, so we'll need a lot of thick clothing. The journey will last a total of two days, so we don't have to pack so much food; it'll only slow us down,” Valerie explained, staring at a map on Stevens Wall.“Wait, I thought you said no one knew where the Night Walkers came from?” Marie asked.“Yes, the night walkers are creatures that started appearing around the world centuries ago. Their concentration in that forest grew over time, and drawn by a certain connection they have with one another, the rest of the night walkers around the world moved there as a result.For some reason, they k
