The Phantom Queen Chapter 51: The Essence of A New Start
SAGEIn the depths of the wood, the sunlight fell on the land of raining leaves. The fresh smell of the nature eased my heart that been hammered by the consequences of the life itself. The rustle of the trees playing with the air, the songs of the bird and the sight of the everything that surrounded us became more prominent with all my senses. My body became lighter that it had ever been as if I was already freed from the gravity."This is the world beyond the human limitation." Val twirled, raising her arms on her sides. "It feels good, right? To be unbound and to be something else."I nodded as I tried to sense myself and I watched as she leaped meters away from me."C'mon, try it!" Val yelled from her spot, waving her hands up.Gulping in anxiousness, I stepped one of my foot behind to arrange myself for a long jump. Then I gathered all my strength on my legs and released it once I jumped. When I sprang into the air, I lifted my arms up and felt the wind gushing against my face bef
The Phantom Queen Chapter 52: The Margins of Motherhood
SAGEAs soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Val and I set off so that I could finally go home. As much as I would like to stay with my mate all the time, I had my parents to consider——my two mothers who built me up and loved me unconditionally with their undying perseverance. To be honest, I already missed everything about them. Even if I was just absent for only almost a week, it felt like a year had passed without me seeing them. Once I get home, I would surely request for my Ma's cooking and of course, tomorrow would be Sunday so it was gonna be our bonding time.Val was driving on our way back home while I looked out the window with an excited smile stamped on my face. I wondered when the first snow would fall because I couldn't wait to see everything in white. Winter was my favorite season of the year as I was always fascinated by the magical looks of the nature. Not to mention, the holidays and all the joyous gatherings. I may have change physically and in spirit but I was
The Phantom Queen Chapter 53: Facing Vulnerabilities
SAGEAfter Val had tried to convince me to talk to Sarah, she took me out of the front wing of the manor and we began to walk hand in hand. We ran with a few of their helpers and they greeted us with respect while I made sure to smile at them in return. They were going to be my family soon once my mate and I unite under the full moon. Speaking of that ritual, I wondered how would it feel like to be linked with my girlfriend. She'd mention the effects along with it but I wouldn't able to understand it if I wasn't experiencing it in firsthand. Well, I guess we'd cross that bridge once we come to it."How does your ranking works anyway?" I questioned, trying to put my mind away from inevitable meeting with my biological mother.Val looked at me amused. "Ranks doesn't matter to us anyway. We treat each other as family here. But to answer your question, the main family ranges from Alpha and her Luna, their children as Beta. Relatives and their mate counterpart ranked as Deltas which is eit
The Phantom Queen Chapter 54: Trial for Redemption
SAGELater that evening, we all gathered in the main barracks for the trial. I was sitting next to my girlfriend, absorbing the eerie atmosphere of the place. The sun had already slipped behind the world as the night flourished above us. The fire torches were stacked down on the ground, around the stone pedestal at the center of the area. The crowd was becoming thick with all the members of the pack, flocking at each other."You should probably go home now. Your parents might be looking for you already," Val murmured in my ear, hugging me closer, rubbing my arm soothingly."No, I've already informed them that I'll be home as soon as this trial ends.""Are you sure about this?" she asked, her tone filled with concern.Well, after that confrontation with Sarah a while ago, I'd be asking myself if I was fine with this too. Not that I was concern about her but she was still the woman who pushed me out of this world. I was a little bit grateful for that because despite all the chaos I went
The Phantom Queen Chapter 55: Wrath to Desire
SAGESchool was kinda boring but I actually preferred this than to see death everywhere. The whole morning classes was about focusing on the lecture at hand, unintentionally listening to gossips and being able to detect emotions through smell among others. It was quite hard to adjust at something that was just suddenly thrown at you but I had no choice. Maybe there was a way that I could turn this off. Esther had mentioned yesterday that I could control it. I gotta asked Val later then.Speaking of my mate, I wondered how she was coping up after everything. Grief is a process and it's one thing you can't control anyway. Maybe I should distract her mind away from those thoughts as her girlfriend, if that's going to be a good idea. Or maybe I should let her get through it?As I sauntered through the school hallway once the bell rang for lunch, I saw Primrose from a distance, laughing with her minions. As if she could feel my gaze, her eyes shifted at me while her minions followed her ga
The Phantom Queen Chapter 56: Underneath the Pressure
VALKYRIE"Are you really sure that we should be doing this?" I asked to Sage in hesitation. We were inside her bedroom and just waiting out for her parents to get to sleep before we embarked outside for Primrose's party. We were already dressed in our outfits; cladded with my leather jacket while Sage was wearing her bomber. I heard it was a party to welcome the winter so it was appropriate to wear thick clothes even though the cold wasn't affecting our warm bodies.Sage enfolded me with one of her arms, the other raised her Polaroid camera in front of us. Smiling uneasily as I looked at its lens, she clicked the capture button and the flash almost blinded my eyes due to its brightness. I blinked uneasily, then I watched as my mate pulled out the photo and shaking it in excitement."C'mon, when was the last time you had a party? We even skipped the homecoming. After everything, I think we deserve some fun, don't you think?" she said, her focus was on the piece of glossy paper though.
The Phantom Queen Chapter 57: The Day Before The Night
SAGEHands trembling, I tried to ignore the enormous fear crawling all over my skin. Blood soiled my body beneath the piece of cloth Esther had provided for me. After that white werewolf ran off, I immediately tended to Val, deeply horrified about her state. That beast got her good she ripped her without any mercy. I could still recall how the side of her torso was sliced up, spilling terrifying blood all over the moist of the earth. And due to the effect of the sun, Val had shifted back to her human form which was contradicting against my unexpected immunity to it. I thought werewolves can't shift during the day but I still remained in that shape until my heightened anger declined.Moreover, I couldn't believe that I killed someone with my own hands. Not only one person but I murdered three without faltering. And the excitement I felt when I cut their head off one by one etched in my memories like a nightmare inside the reality. I was aware of what I was doing but for some reason, I
The Phantom Queen Chapter 58: The Union of The One Who Shattered
VALKYRIESome ancient tribes believed that once the moon turned into a shade of blood, it's deeply wounded or terribly ill. And during the eclipse, their people would chant prayers and offer dance to provide healing to this celestial magnificence in the dark sky.For our people, it was the very symbol of our curse and our birth— the image of our Goddess. It gave monstrous power to our ancestor who sought revenge for the death of her tribe. The one who had founded the Phantom and live within her children in blood which continuously led our kind to supremacy. Until she got broken, betrayed by her own kin. Her spirit shattered into three inheritors and then, she disappeared from our consciousness.However, after this night, there was a possibility that it might be whole again through our union. If I possessed the other within me, that is. But so far, I haven't experienced anything weird yet. Actually, I was more shocked that Sage was able to defeat all those hybrids without any sweat a w
