"Yes, now I can see you!" Galen said over the phone as he stared at Zoren's nose through the video call. "Move your hand away from your face so I can see you clearly.""If I move it, will you still hear me?""He will," Verena responded. She pulled Zoren's phone away from his ear and pointed at a button. "Take a look at this; when this button is pressed, the phone call will sound louder." She did as she explained and called Galen. "Galen, talk.""Hello, hello!""This is too loud for my liking; I don't want to hear his teenage voice that loud again.""That's mean, you know."The woman laughed as she sat beside Zoren. "Sadly, you have to do this since I won't be able to hear Galen talk. I don't have the same ears as you do.""You must be thankful for that," Zoren whispered to her. "You would hate to hear this guy sing at the top of his lungs all day.""I wasn't even trying to sing loudly!" Galen tried to defend himself. "And I actually thought that I was good at it, if I am being honest.
Moonlit Pages Chapter 16: Carnival
"I know that I told you about wanting to know more of this world, Galen, but what the hell am I doing in a place like this?"Zoren's eyes were fixed on the huge Ferris wheel decorated with glowing lights, which was spinning nonstop. It's making him feel things, mostly bad things. It kept on making him want to throw up for some reason, and he hated it."Hey, don't be weird," Galen said, pouting. "Within my years of being here, this is my most favorite spot. The carnival!""This is nothing but torture; are you kidding me?" The werewolf scoffed. "I could barely hear my own thoughts; my ears are ringing! I can't pinpoint what it is that I am smelling; everything is mixing with everything else! Look at how many people are here; I can avoid all of them!""Of course, this is a carnival, Zoren; people come here to have fun!""It's not looking so fun.""It will be fun soon, so don't worry."They continued to walk; Zoran was forced, but it was all good since Galen skipped on his every step and
Moonlit Pages Chapter 17: Madam
It took Verena everything to try and bring Zoren out of the tent and leave the show. She could tell he was fuming. Just by the way he clenched his fists, it was intense. Verena kept softly talking him out of it, but he did not stop thinking about turning into his other form. Galen was straight-up scared. He knew what a real werewolf could do and how hot-tempered they could get, especially his former master. And Zoren, being the son of the most powerful being he knew, found it terrifying.However, seeing how he still kept it together, he was a bit surprised. He could tell that even though Zoren won't admit it, Verena is playing a huge role in his behavior. Whenever she wants to do something, even though he hates it, he will try to like it and do it with her. When she hates something, he will try his best to stop it from harming her. Now, even though the murderous look in his eyes was present, Galen could tell that he wouldn't be able to do anything."Zoren, it's fine," she whispered so
Moonlit Pages Chapter 18: Lost
Verena stood still under the umbrella tree where they all met up. Thirty minutes later, she still can't connect with Galen or Zoren. Earlier, it was Galen not picking up his phone, but now she literally can't contact him since he's out of reach. It was stressing her out. Maybe a little too much, since every single person that passed her gave her a weird look. They seem to think that she's losing her mind or that she's intoxicated because of how much she's pacing back and forth and being too agitated and anxious."I have to tell you something, Zoren, please: where the hell did you go?" She whispered to no one but the wind around her. She then looked around and could still see their faces.She was about to leave the spot and try to lurk around other booths where she still hasn't gone, but she was stopped by three men who walked straight into her."Woah there, if you take another step, you'd literally jump into my arms!"She winced, hearing the most disgusting pick-up line that year. Ver
Moonlit Pages Chapter 19: Good Job
"I told you, sometimes it is better to just let those kinds of people be," Verena whispered while trying to calm Zoren down. She stroked his arm as if she were trying to tame a fiesty beast. "Look at me; I am fine," she added. "You were there to save me, not to kill those people. If I had let you do that, it was going to make things worse.""Those men aren't even deserving to be called people," Zoren said, glaring. His eyes could easily kill, without a doubt. If Verena let go of his arm, he would instantly turn rabid. "They are animals, ready to do such disgraceful things only to feed their own evil desires," he scoffed. "I can't believe you would stop me from punishing them when all I did was fight for you and your dignity.""I believe that it's not that bad," Verena answered as she looked up at the stars twinkling above them. "I would rather not get your hands dirty with their blood. Think about it," she softly said, her words being very clear and meaningful. "I won't want you to do
Moonlit Pages Chapter 20: Trial
"Are you sure that it was the woman’s ability that you experienced?" Galen was skeptical upon hearing Verena’s story about how she was able to see a vision because of a fortune teller’s help. "To be honest, that’s quite difficult for me to believe," he added. "I don’t think that woman is capable of showing you what’s going to happen in the future; she might be a fake witch, trying to show off just so she could scam poor-minded people for money while manipulating their hopes and dreams.""No, Galen, I understand where you’re coming from, and believe me, I had the same exact thought at first," she explained as she leaned closer to the driver while she sat in the back seat with Zoren, who was listening to the two argue. "I was thinking that I was about to be hussled, like I was going to leave the place without getting anything in return! However, I experienced it!" she said, hitting Galen by the shoulder. "I saw it all with my own eyes, well, I think! Ah!"She took a deep breath, still f
Moonlit Pages Chapter 21: Out
The moment Verena held the doorknob to her own door, she felt a strange feeling engulf her before she could proceed to enter her house. It was a mix of fear, worry, and confusion rushing towards her all at once. Surprisingly enough, her problems seemed to disappear as soon as she was able to come in. Her nose hated the overpowering stench of alcohol filling the entire house."He’s home," she whispered to herself. After two weeks, she finally felt the presence of her uncle. "Uncle?" she called."Oi!" the old man yelled at the top of his lungs while swallowing the huge chunk of meat in his mouth. "You are here still?""What?""Where’s your rich boyfriend, huh?" the huge man asked, spitting bits of food all over the place. "Isn't he going to pay me to leave today?""What do you mean by that?" Verena was confused by what she just heard. "Who’s paying you exactly?""Well, the rich man that you brought home last time."The old man laughed. "Call him and tell him that I need more money.""Zo

"She’s barely breathing!""Zoren, she’s going to be fine," Galen responded. "We are in the hospital; you can now rest, knowing that she is going to be alright.""I know how her normal breathing sounds," Zoren stated. "She’s weak.""She was badly beaten, Zoren." Galen pulled him over to the huge couch of the comfortable VIP room and let him sit back. "They checked her already; she’s weak, but she will be okay. She just needed some rest.""I need to go back.""Where?""To her house!" Zoren growled, rolling his eyes in anger. Just thinking about the scene he witnessed earlier is making his blood boil. It wasn’t as brutal as what he usually sees during battles, but seeing how Verena was weakly lying there, helpless, sent him into spirals. "I have to do something. I can't rest, knowing that I have unfinished business. I need to make him pay for what he has done!""But what are you going to do, Zoren?" Galen asked him silently, making sure that Verena wouldn't wake up because of the two of
