Chapter 94
1608words
My eyes opened and i saw the sun set before my eyes, i placed an elbow to lift myself up and reached for the clock beside the bed. Still sleepy as ever, i was completely woken up by the sting of the collar. It was only then that i realised that the reason why i kept sleeping was because of this goddamn collar, it has made me exhausted everytime i woke up. Nevertheless i stood up and wore a jacket, feeling cold from the weakness, i walked slowly towards the garden infront of me.
Then a scent hits me.
Dandelions?
I was surprised to see a garden full of flowers just outside my door, has this garden been here all the time? My lips curved into a smile as i watched the beautiful scenery in-front of me, but not so long before my head banged from pain and i struggled to stand on the ground. A memory flashed through my mind.
{"What the? You're human!" I points a finger at him. "Humans aren't supposed to be here!"}
{The boy just lightly chuckles. "You have a strong sense of smell."}
{"Of course! I am an alpha's daughter." I proudly said. "I didn't know that Stone Pack lets a human reside in their pack." I said confused.}
{"I am the only human here."}
My eyes opened from fear as i recalled the memory of meeting my first love, it was a long time ago that maybe i have only remembered it now- but i knew it never left me- it haunted me. But why?? Why can't i remember everything? Why is it going back to me piece by piece?
It was only then that i remembered his face similar to Herus and realized that they were twins that was part of my past, my memories came rushing to me about the twins and when i was still a werewolf, but there was still a lot of holes. There was still many things that were missing from my memories.
"I'm Christal." I spat out in disbelief, the scent of dandelions still lingering around me. "How could i forget? And why? Why did i end up half dead in the doppelganger's family?"
My vision was starting to blur, my mind was starting to go numb when all thoughts were crashing one another- as i thought i was going crazy.
A hand reached out to me.
"Are you alright?"
I looked at his hand before looking at his face, my eyes widened. It was Herus- but is he? Something about him was off. His smell was different from the Herus i know. His smile, his eyes- those red flaming eyes that stared into my soul.
I placed my hand into his, i don't know why but i did.
"Who are you?" I asked as he lifted me up.
He smiled at me, i felt goosebumps as his face was becoming more and more familiar with my memory, everything about him was so similar that i was starting to get scared of the possibility of the thoughts that were going around my head.
It can't be.
He took a step closer and i took a step back, my reflexes reacted because of the adrenaline of feeling fear in the situation, i was truly not comfortable seeing his face and everything- it remind me of my sin. But he stops me from going farther as he held my arms to pull me close to him. My breath hitched and i fought to stop my heartbeat from pacing faster, i pushed him back.
What the hell.
"You can't be him." I said firmly.
He smirks. "Why not?"
"Coz he's dead."
I stared at the blank surface below me, my memories rushing into me and slapping me in reality. The sin and the dead bodies that scattered along the way still haunted me just because i fell inlove with a Human- no. He is not human anymore.
My tears started to fall, even when i tried so hard to stop it, it just continued to fall. It continued to disobey me. I fell helplessly on the ground and glared at him. "Stay away from me!"
"Christal." He says softly, his voice softening to reach out to me, he carries me in his arms and i couldn't fought back anymore since the collar was starting to wear me out again. "You should rest."
No.. get away from me..
"Sleeptight my Queen." He whispered into my ears.
As my eyes was starting to get tired, i murmured my last words of agony. "I've missed you.. Charles."
ALPHAKING's POV
"What did you say?"
She looked nervous as i noticed how her hand shook at the tone of my voice, my eyes darkened at the thought of Christal was really alive. I suddenly saw ray of hope from the words she threw at the moment, a little suffocated at how much pain the thought was giving me. If she was alive.. Where has she been all this time? And why did i felt the string getting cut? I couldn't find her not even Witches or Oracles of my pack.
"AlphaKing, the human that we interrogated was actually sent to rely a message indirectly to us. The human was with a relation of Christal's doppelgänger- the name is Athena you know her right?" She said.
I sighed, of course her face was the exact copy of my mate. Seeing her face plastered all over the human world countless of times whenever i was on a pack business. "Message? From who? And what is the human have to do with Christal?"
Syrena the Dark witch coughs uncomfortably. "Alphaking, the QueenLuna needs to be attended, the Elders might get angry."
I looked down and noticed the pitiful state she was showing me, her face full of tears as she continued to cry- and i couldn't care less about something like her. The day she was bonded to me, i told her she would regret it. Why? No one compares to my mate.
No one can replace her.
"No need, she can leave by herself," I growled at her, she wipes her tears away and quietly leaves the room.
"Alphaking have you never even considered QueenLuna? I may seem disrespectful but why would you treat such a kind she wolf like her that way?"
Remembering the very reason angered me, my eyes darkened at the memory that flashed back to me. "She is not kind."
"Is that so? How?"
Everyone was being fooled by her behavior, but not me. Everything related to the elders will always end up being a bad omen, tale and history. The day that she became my wife, she made a mistake to drug me to sleep. Even though the drug didn't affect me very much, she tried to force herself on me. Greed and anxiety got the best of her, and that's why i hated her since then. She tried to drug me a couple more times but ended up being caught by me. I would punish her every time she would do it, truly a pity that a thick mask was laying on the face of hers'.
My eyebrow furrowed in annoyance. "Is she more of greater importance than Christal? Tell me everything now."
She continued. "The guy who led the human here was Herus of the StonePack. I don't know why Herus would do something like telling us her whereabouts we also saw in the memory that Christal was living with the relatives of the Human Doppelgänger's family for these past two years."
"You .. saw her?"
"Yes, the behavior and the manner of speaking was very similar to Luna Christal."
My eyes widened. She's really alive then.
"Tell me, why did i felt like she died when she disappeared two years ago? How can she perfectly escape from me?" I said in disbelief, the irony of all these.
She keeps running away from me, i angrily thought. But realising that she was alive, did made me relieved than mad. Even though she was able to escape from me these last two years for the last time. The thought of her being alive... made me think.. 'ThankGod' that anger and fury suddenly subsided, as if a new fresh air was passing through me.
"I don't know either AlphaKing, we were so sure that Christal's traces was completely gone back them- she was marked dead in the realm of spirits, but we couldn't find her soul either." She replied.
There was only one person i could think of that could pull that off so perfectly- and it angered me. How dare they lay their hand on christal? I'm not gonna let them off so easily, i thought. My mind going numb right after from anger that i broke the table that was currently infront of me.
"Who else?!" I growled with Venom. "WHITE BITCH!"
"You mean the Great White Witch was the one who made her disappear? Now that i think of it- she is the only one that handles the list of the lives of species below The Moon Goddess! She could've possible removed Christal and made her disappear.. but doing so will kill her." She asked confused.
"I don't give a damn about any reason, the single thought that she harmed my woman, already marked her as my enemy." I said, my fangs showing from anger.
"What should we do?"
"Get the address where Christal's currently staying at and gather the Dark Witches tonight." I grinned with vengeance. "The line of Elders is ending tonight."
Christal, wait for me. . .
I'm coming for you.
