CHAPTER 101~3RD PERSON'S POV~Alpha Derren and Alpha Steven slowly walked toward each other, their bright red alpha auras burning around their bodies like raging flames. The pressure in the passage they stood in was so great that any other werewolf who stepped in would be crushed instantly. The ground and walls vibrated rigorously, and the wooden floor on which they stood had been completely destroyed only by the weight of their power.“How long has it been since I felt this excited? All my opponents so far have failed to rile me up the way you have; they all end up dying the moment I stand before them,” Steven said through clenched teeth, his eyes glowing bright red.“Same here. It's too bad I have to end your life now; you would have made a good sparing partner,” Derren replied with a smirk.Both alphas suddenly launched at each other. As they clashed fists, the entire mansion shook. Each blow pushed them back in opposite directions, but they rushed at each other almost immediately

CHAPTER 103~GABRIELLA’S POV~Christine, Marie, and I served dishes in the cafeteria early in the morning. Many of the maids who came by to get their meals asked the same question that even I didn’t know the answer to: Where was Clarabelle? It had already been a few days since she stabbed me, and she still hadn’t come out of hiding. If only I knew where she went...If only I knew where she went.“It’s just not the same without Clarabelle around; don’t you think we should try to look for her?” I asked whichever of the two girls cared to listen. Christine picked up a tray of parboiled rice and walked over to the counter, replying,"Look, I understand that you’re worried about Clarabelle, and yes, we should be making attempts to look for her, but we were just servants. How in the world are we going to find her? We don’t even know where she went.”I let out a sigh, then turned to Marie. “Marie, what do you think?” I asked her.“You want to know what I think? I think there are two possibil

CHAPTER 105~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, what now? Are we supposed to wait for them?” Gabriella asked Steven with a whisper. He turned to her, then turned back to the three girls.“We shouldn’t disturb the process. Let’s just wait and see what happens,” he replied. From his voice, Gabriella could tell he was also unsure of what to do. They both watched the girls glow brightly for a few minutes, their hairs flowing around like a heavy wind blew from underneath them. After a while, Marie spoke.“My last moments of sanity are near; my mind is going blurry, and I have begun to forget important things in my life. The information on this page is one I have been told not to reveal to anyone, but alas, it is too heavy for my heart alone to carry. When the old woman arrived at my gates, she gave instructions that would set the stage for an event I did not understand at first: a watcher, one who would stand before the doors until the day their purpose was revealed.She asked that no one from the Mo

CHAPTER 107~3RD PERSON’S POV~~THE ABYSS~“And so, it ends; the beautiful story you worked so hard to create... has failed to achieve the goal you intended for it,” Lilith, the shadowy figure who hung from multiple chains, said.“Your creations call me evil; your creations call me the half of darkness, when you’re really the one who is evil. You created a plot that would end up harming an innocent girl. She had nothing to gain from the start,” Lilith continued, the chains around her snapping one by one.“Whether her mate rejected her or not, she was bound to lose everything in the end—her friends, her love, her home. Now she’ll forever wander the new world I will bring alone until she’s consumed by my infinite darkness…” she concluded.“The power I used to bind you here might not be enough anymore, but I assure you, you will lose. The power of good will always triumph over evil." Eva’s voice sounded softly.Lilith laughed as the last chain broke. “Until good has enough power to trium

CHAPTER 109~3RD PERSON’S POV~“So, explain to me why you’re here on such short notice,” Anaya said, then took a sip from her morning tea. She had already provided a room for Gabriella, and a night had already passed since her arrival. Some maids came by with their breakfast, and Gabriella answered.“Well, a lot has happened since you left the Mortimer mansion, and I alone could never be able to explain it all, so I’m just going to give you the most important details.”Anaya put down her cup of coffee and leaned forward. “Go on.”“I found my mate, and for a while I thought we were actually becoming really close, but he ended up rejecting me. I didn’t know what else to do, so I ran away from the mansion so I’d never see him again,” Gabriella said.“Oh my, that’s terrible; why would he do such a thing?” Anaya asked, walking to Gabriella’s side.“Well, it’s a little complicated; that’s the part I can’t really explain alone,” Gabriella replied."Whatever the reason, you’re welcome to stay
