VIVIANA “Take your seat, Killian. We have a business to do.” I ordered Killian Garter. He was standing like a statue. He didn’t utter any words, just some inaudible whispers. He kept switching his gaze between me and the sun.Winter approached me again with my clothes.“Luna, you can put these on if you feel like it.” He stepped back after I got a hold of my clothes and put them on. The fire was intense enough to burn anyone who approached me. But it wasn’t anything to me. It was a shield. Normal on the inside, burning on the outside.I never knew Miracle was capable of doing all these things. She was way too powerful. What if I could t have controlled her back then! She must have killed Killian Garter. He was the only hope in this scenario. I pushed those thoughts back and composed myself.The walls, the chains, the gloominess were all gone. It was replaced by a terror. That terror was

VIVIANA Numbness was a strange emotion for me. I experienced it before. Only once. When the woman made it to my mind. She played everything like a movie. She almost haunted me.This was the second time. The Blood Wind Valley had something in its name. I pushed it way too much. Witch! I didn’t want to go that far. Only if the woman didn’t murder my parents!Killian looked into my expressions. I was quiet. I didn’t know what I was feeling. Was I stunned? Was I agitated? Was I angry? Was I shocked? Was I afraid? What was it? I couldn’t decipher this. I stood. I made my way towards the exit. Killian’s voice stopped me.“I can see you are disturbed. Angered.” He cracked laughter. A weird one. “No matter how strong you are Sun-wolf Luna, at the end of the day, You. Are. Scared. You are scared of the witches. But only the witches can help you this time.” Killian laughed like a mania

VIVIANA Mr. Garter was sent home safely. I made sure that Winter did the job. Baspo joined me outside the packhouse. I was confused? Well, I wasn’t. I made a promise to myself. I couldn’t turn back now. I didn’t know what to do? Where to start? I was going insane.The voices in my head made me insane. Alaric’s words, Alpha dad’s suggestions, Mr. Garter’s grinning face, and Miracle’s nagging. These things made a loop and I was stuck in that for now.I reflexively covered my ears. Baspo cleared his throat.“My Luna, are you okay?” His voice held concern. I managed myself and nodded. I wasn’t okay, but I had to. For Alaric. I couldn’t let him sense this.Miracle had been a good wolf. She didn’t need to be told again. She would stay silent till I feel like confessing everything to Alaric. At least, that was a relief.My sole motto was to find that

VIVIANA “Where to, Luna?” My thoughts were pushed back with Baspo asking me the destination. We were driving for the past two hours continuously. Baspo was alert. When I told him to leave The Samara Plateau, he didn’t even question and started the car.But I had to let him know. I looked at the pendant in my hand. Its crystal was so beautiful. Royal and rich purple with a shining Moon inside. A soft smile made it to my lips. My mother would have been quite a beautiful lady. I didn’t remember her face.“Baspo, do you know about The Blood Wind Valley?” I questioned Baspo and found his widened eyes fixated on me through the rearview mirror. He instantly applied brakes and the car came to a halt.Baspo turned around with a surprised look on his face.“Luna, are you sure?” He asked. I blankly nodded. I wasn’t sure, but I had to do it. It was my battle. I had to fight it.

VIVIANAWe made it to the other side of that Red Forest. It was a horrible experience. I was about to get mad. I declared to see Zelda, but I was mad at Miracle. She didn’t heed.“I told you to stay put. Why the hell you were adamant about shifting, Miracle?” I yelled at my wolf in my mind. To Baspo, I was having a rest. He was searching for a place to sit in the meantime.“I was forced. The voices said they will kill mate.” Miracle shouted back with the same intensity.Ah! Why was it so hard? My patience almost ran out. What if Miracle had shifted back to the forest? I would have been another cloned red tree in that stupid Red forest. I sighed.“Miracle, no matter what… just don’t lose control. We don’t know about Zelda. She may have tricks under her sleeves too. We have to be careful. Alaric is searching for us. We have to get back to The Samara
