Alex and Lilith walked out of the elders and advisors lodge, engaged in a conversation. Lilith expressed her independence, stating that she didn't need Alex to accompany her home."You don't need to walk me home. I might have lost my memories, but not my senses," Lilith said confidently as they left the lodge.Alex, being friendly and concerned, responded, "Stephanie has a hard time believing that you're really married to Alpha Chul. To be honest, I find it hard to believe as well. She asked me to check on you."Lilith smiled politely and explained, "She couldn't defend me because she was scared of Mother. Stephanie is kind-hearted."Alex then changed the topic, inquiring about Lilith's injury from the tracking thread. "Has your injury from the tracking thread healed? Stephanie is glad that it won't hurt anymore."Lilith, unaware of the events that transpired, questioned, "Did she hide the thread from Mother? So that's why it stopped hurting."Alex was surprised by her lack of knowled
Sparing a gaze at Lilith before turning back to the road, he continued talking."I can't believe how beautiful she was," Lucas reminisced, a wistful smile playing on his lips. "She had an ethereal quality about her, like a goddess descended from the moon itself. Some even compared her to the moon goddess."Lilith, captivated by Lucas' description, felt her hands instinctively clench over her chest as she was overwhelmed by jealousy. "Wait, if your mate was a werewolf, how was she the sister of the human Luna?"Lucas shrugged, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "It's a complicated story. You see, there was an affair between a werewolf and a human, and that's how the bond between Emily and the Luna came to be."His expression grew somber as he continued, "Unfortunately, they are no longer with us. They passed away."Lilith's face fell with sadness. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing someone you love is never easy.""It's alright," Lucas reassured her, though a tinge of pain lingered in hi
Lucas sniffed, before wiping off his tears, as he watched Lilith also crying."They couldn't even let us mourn in peace," Lucas's voice quivered with frustration as he recounted the distressing events. "Alpha Chul's phone suddenly rang—it was an unknown number. As werewolves, we could hear his conversation with the caller, and it was Alpha Abel, the leader of the rival pack and rogues. We sighed with relief when we heard our Luna's voice on the other end of the call. She assured us she was fine, but then... something changed."Lilith listened intently, her heart pounding in anticipation of what Lucas would reveal next."She suddenly began screaming and crying for Alvin to save her," Lucas continued, his voice filled with anguish. "Alpha Chul was consumed with anger, a rage so intense it seemed he could kill anyone in that moment. I had never seen him that furious before. But despite his anger, Chul remained cold in his speech, never raising his voice or yielding to the urge to scream.
Alpha Chul stared down at Lilith with an angry gaze as he clenched his hands which had the ring in it."So you're trying to tell me that the grave broke on its own?" he asked suddenly, his voice filled with skepticism and disbelief."I swear... I didn't touch it," Lilith pleaded, her eyes wide with fear. "It broke on its own, but I don't know how it managed to break because that was when I was having that memory. I don't know why I took the ring either, but it was in between cracks in the grave. I didn't break the grave."He looked at her, his expression a mixture of disappointment and anger. "You don't know why you took it? Tell me, Lilith, were you so desperate? I didn't know you would go to such an extent just to stay with me. I'm disappointed. I didn't expect you to... you've already disappointed me with your powers because that's the only way you'll be able to break that grave. Return the ring now," he said coldly before releasing her hands. She winced as pain shot through her di
Immediately gripping the doorknob, Lilith forcefully swung the door open and rushed out of the room in a state of panic. However, her frantic escape came to an abrupt halt as she sensed the presence of the ghostly figures standing before her. Panic washed over her, and before she could gather her thoughts, she instinctively turned away, only to sense another presence behind her. Overwhelmed by fear and unable to think clearly, she dashed towards the nearest door she saw, desperately locking it behind her.Meanwhile, Alpha Chul sat in his room, drowning his sorrows in liquor while memories of his past with his deceased mate consumed his thoughts. After witnessing Lilith's terrified reaction in the woods, he became convinced that she had encountered a ghost. Observing her flee from the woods, he detected the presence of a rogue wolf nearby, prompting him to unsheathe his sword with difficulty. Determined to protect Lilith, he vanished into the depths of the dark woods, pursuing the t
Lilith woke from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open. She felt a lingering sensation, a memory that seemed vivid yet out of place. Her heart raced with confusion as she glanced around her room, realizing that she was alone."Was that my memory?" she pondered silently, her voice laced with uncertainty. The image of Alpha Chul, her mate, laying on her with her long hair caressing his face, had been so clear. But now, in the emptiness of her room, it could only mean that it had been a dream.Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice cracked with a broken heart. "Was it all just a dream?" she murmured, her disappointment washing over her. The memory had felt so real, so intimate, and now it was ripped away from her.Frustration surged through her, overwhelming her senses. She yelled in anguish, throwing her cushion aside and succumbing to a torrent of tears. The weight of confusion and longing pressed upon her, intensifying the pain she felt.As she rose from her bed, voices began to ech
Alpha Chul crouched to the floor as he felt a sudden pain in his heart, as though an important element in his life was about to leave."Annabelle, please don't leave me. Lilith, come and hug me now. Annabelle is about to go away from my heart... go away from there so you wouldn't get pulled in," Chul pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. He saw tears streaming down Lilith's face, and his instinct was to run to her, but in her attempt to reach him, her footing slipped on the edge of the cliff, causing her to fall backward.A surge of panic filled Lilith as she plummeted, but she managed to grab hold of a stone jutting out from the cliff's edge. Hanging on for dear life, she heard Chul's voice calling out her name as he peered down the cliff."I can't hold on for too long. I have no idea why I want to live now," she yelled, her voice trembling with fear."Take my hand," Chul offered, extending his hand toward her. As soon as she grasped his hand, a flood of memories rushed throug
Alpha Alvin walked into the gym room where the warriors were preparing for the war."If you're going to war, Lilith, you need to know how to defend yourself because I'll be at the battlefront and I can't take you there with me," Alpha Chul stated, his voice filled with concern as he walked around her. They stood in the spacious gym room where the warriors were preparing for the upcoming battle.Lilith shrugged, a hint of determination in her eyes. "I can defend myself, don't worry."He arched an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to defend yourself?""I can shoot arrows. I saw it in her memory, and I have a strong feeling that I can do it," she replied confidently.Alpha Chul motioned for one of the warriors to bring him a bow and arrow. The warrior promptly fetched the requested items and handed them to him."Alright, Lilith. See that target over there? If you can propel the arrow and hit the bullseye, then you can come with us," he explained, placing the arrows in her hands before steppi
