Chapter79Lucian's povI twirled around the bed, but then I snapped my eyes open. Sweat trailing my head with confusion filling my gaze. My eyes darted around the room, and I noticed I was in a strange place. However, I stopped my gaze on a figure standing in the room.Because of how dark the room was, I didn't really take note of the figure.“You're awake!” I heard a female voice, and then I saw the figure approach me. The way she screamed made me wince. I was in deep pain, my head was throbbing with a headache that refused to go away.I growled in a low tone, rubbing my head with my eyes closed as I tried to calm the throbbing pain I felt on my head.“You aren't feeling well?” This time, the voice was closer, and by the time I opened my eyes, I noticed a beautiful petite girl standing by my side.“I Just have a headache,” I explained, pulling my gaze away from her.This was the second time I had seen this girl, but I didn't know where I was, or who I was. All I knew was that I appea
Chapter80Lucian's POV.I noticed she blinked twice. Maybe she wasn't expecting the question I asked her.“Umm…” Cookie replied, and lowered her head, then she raised her eyes to look into mine.Her heart was drumming constantly, and her throat tried to gulp down the lump I guess was in her throat.“Cookie?” I noticed her hesitancy to speak, so I called out for her attention.“Yes, I'm sorry it's just that the way I found you was a bit weird. You were floating on the river with a wound. You were unconscious, and I was so scared, I wanted to call mother. However, I recalled the current of the river could take you away, so I dragged you to shore.” She explained with a worried look on her face.“Do you know what happened to you?” She asked, but I shook my head. I don't know what happened. I didn't even have the slightest clue, and it was making me worried.“I don't know, but I'm having nightmares. I can't fully recall them, but they keep coming. I don't know what else you can do to help
Chapter81Mary's POV.I had been really distant from the men these days. The truth remained that I wanted to be alone. I was still trying to reach out to Lucian. I knew he was alive, but the fact that I couldn't reach out to him was what bothered me.A knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts, and made me twist my neck towards the door.From the scent, I could already tell who it was, but since I wanted to be alone, I kept quiet.They were Aric's men, and couldn't be trusted. I also didn't understand what was going on with my heart.Resisting Aaron was almost impossible no matter how I tried to recall the pain of the past, so I decided to stay away from him.The knock became constant, making me frown. If I didn't say anything, wasn't that supposed to give him the memo that I didn't want to speak to him.My heart squeezed when I thought about me abandoning him. I didn't know what he did to me, but each time Aaron was close to me, I got tingles I never thought I would get in years.
Chapter82Lucian's pov.I didn't understand what she was trying to say. How could I be a witch? The theory was confusing. Can't I just be normal? Cookie stared at me, her mother also smiling. I didn't know why, but It seemed they were happy to see their kind.“If you are witches, then why did the alpha of the pack let you stay?” I asked with raised brows. I was really confused.“We help the alpha. His men sometimes need medicine, so we were made the Pack healers, but it's a good post. At least we're respected.” The explanation I got was enough. I really wanted to know about myself.“How can I be a wizard?” I questioned, making Cookie smile. She inched closer, her eyes staring into mine.“You just have the bloodline of a witch, and it gives you some special abilities, but then there's no need to feel weird about It,” She explained.Martha excused herself, leaving me alone with Cookie who smiled. The way she looked at me was something I couldn't explain.She reminded me of someone, but
Chapter83 Mia's POV. I sat on my seat, anger filling my being. I knew that alpha couldn't be trusted, but I was desperate. I didn't like the fact that something else was going on. I didn't know what was going on. He was only supposed to get the girl, but then it seemed he had other plans In mind. I didn't go on the day of the invasion, and decided to go check on the shadow moon pack the next day. However, when I got there, I saw people trying to check whatever was left from the pack which was torn down. My eyes widened, and I rushed towards some of the pack members who were crying over their loss. “E-excuse me,” I stammered. “What happened here?” I asked, trying to understand what was going on. My heart was drumming faster than usual, and the need to know what happened took over me. The woman, and men looked at me with pain in their eyes, but none of them wanted to speak out. I could tell it was because of the pain they felt. “Our pack was attacked, and as you can see, we los
Chapter84Kira's pov.I felt pain all over my body after another torture that came from him. I couldn't believe I was in this mess. It still felt like a dream to me. One I wished to wake up badly.I thought everything would go great, but my life took a drastic turn. As if that wasn't enough, Lucian didn't come back as he promised, and I didn't know how long I would be able to hold back.The torture was too much, I was becoming overwhelmed by it, that my being was feeling itself being drained away.The door pushed open, and I was shocked to see the young maid who had been taking care of me.She rushed to my side once she got into the room with worry in her eyes.She couldn't dare speak against the alpha, but her eyes showed It all.“Ma'am Kira, are you alright?” She asked with raised brows, causing me to frown. I didn't like her calling me ma'am, and despite my hurt state, I cared about what she called me.I had told Melody about her calling me by my name, and nothing else. However, she
Chapter85Lucian's pov.I waited for Cookie to return, my heart drumming with fear. I didn't know if her mother would give us permission to stroll based on my health.I was slowly recovering, but she still insisted on the fact that she wanted me to rest.Martha was a strict woman, and I didn't know she would give us the chance to do what was needed. I was scared that things wouldn't go the way we planned, and sweat formed on my head due to that.A sigh left my lips, and creased appearing on my forehead. At this point, I didn't know what was going on anymore.The urge to go out there, and listen in on the conversation was something I didn't understand.As I pushed myself up from the bed, the door pushed open, and lo, Martha stood there with a puzzled expression on her face.“You said you wanted to go for a stroll with my daughter?” She asked with tossed brows which made me nod. I knew she came here to confirm.At that moment, Cookie immediately rushed in. She was shocked to see her mom

She hovered over me while I laid on the ground with my eyes closed while images of an event played in my head.“Hello….” She uttered, staring at me with a smile. “I'm alright. I just… I just felt pain. It seemed that guy triggered a memory,” I explained, trying to sit up from the ground.However, I noticed she tears beamed in her eyes despite the smile. “Why are you crying?” I asked, my head filled with wrinkles as a result from the constant pain. I was worried that things wouldn't get any better. I still couldn't understand the images that kept playing.She shook her head, using her palms to clean her eyes then she stared at me with a smile.“I thought something bad happened, all because of that…” Cookie trailed, sniffling.I couldn't help but smile. Was she that worried about me? The pain I felt
