Chapter 165
1541words
After she admits her true intentions, the Alpha King decided to spare her life suspiciously. It was weird, from the moment she said Gina's name. The Alpha King didn't utter a word again, leaving the cell as soon as possible. Of course, beta Jaxon just follows behind him.
"What.. the hell just happened," I sighed, being left behind by the two werewolves.
Why did the Alpha King left after hearing Gina's name? It's not like him to spare two sinners twice in a row.
Just what has gotten into him?
"Am i.. not gonna die anymore?" She sobs.
"Why did you even think you can control him? just because of a weapon?"
"No!" She argues. "it's not just a weapon! It's the only thing she left behind! how many times do i have to say it?"
I stared at her with disbelief. "You look like you care about your sister a lot, but why can't you accept that your sister really did hand the weapon over to Christal? Just where is this stubbornness coming from?"
"I.. you don't get it. Nobody gets it!" She says in despair, gripping her chest in pain.
I stepped back, admitting that i really don't get why is she so stubborn just because of a single weapon.
I arched an eyebrow. "How can i understand if you don't explain clearly? I don't know why the Alpha King just spared you- if i can think of a reason, then it must only be because of your naiveness."
She glares at me.
I laughed. "Like that, even if you glare at me, i don't even feel angry at all. Hmm, so that's it."
I leaned towards her, "You're just a chest piece that was fooled, so that's why you're being let off this easily."
She gasps, still not accepting the reality.
Angry at my words, she tried reaching me, the chains stopping her, i just looked at her with mockery as she tried with futile effort. The fury in her eyes burning like the color of her hair.
"You witch!"
I straightened my back. "I don't have time to argue with you, so please cooperate or else."
"Or else what?" She scoffs. "The Alpha King already spared me, who are you to make a decision!"
Tsk, it's true that the Alpha King spared her. It was not like him, it was not like him at all. This girl should've died the moment she revealed the truth, so why is he pitying others all of a sudden?
I'm not even sure if he's just confused or sad.
Since the Alpha King refuses to take advantage of such a useful situation, then i could only rely on myself to uncover the truth. Kneeling a little bit, i gripped her cheek angrily, my dark magic leaking from my body.
"Listen up, if you don't cooperate, i'll erase that sister in this little head of yours."
Her eyes widened, an unexplainable expression she made as she screamed in horror. "NO! PLEASE DON'T! ANYTHING BUT THAT!"
Oh, so this is her weakness?
I smirked. "Why not? don't you want a new life? forgetting such a past is better than living in the truth right?"
Though i don't really regard that for myself, since i've seen how it affected luna, Christal. It was not a good method, so i don't really recommend it.
She shook her head, "No! NO! PLEASE! I LIED! I LIED! The weapon isn't the only thing she left behind! i just couldn't accept why she handed something so precious to a stranger! she was everything to me!"
She lied?
"Then.. " Using my wand, i lifted her chin. "Tell me, what's the last thing she left behind?"
"It's my memories." She cries. "So please don't erase her away from me!"
My eyes widened, not expecting such a simple answer. Is she really this naive? stupid? Dumb? Does she want to convince me by this ridiculous reason?
Just because of genuine love for her sibling? is it really that simple?
But after living after so many years, even i can vouch that sometimes the truth can be the most ridiculous thing to anyone.
I frowned.
"Do you really expect me to believe that you're plotting against Christal just for that reason? Surely, there's more story to what you just said. Like, a mastermind? who persuaded you to do this?"
She cries, her body shaking. She did it for a while and i just waited patiently until her cries died down a bit. It wasn't really pleasant, she just wailed continuously in despair while saying the name of her sister.
She finally stops.
"I know about the curse." She looks down, her eyes exhausted.
Curse?
{"No one is controlling me. Can't you see it? i finally woke up in this damned curse. I don't need to feel sorry for myself or even beg anyone to stay with me. That's not me, it was never me in the first place."}
I remembered the unpleasant memory with Christal.
"Enlighten me." i said.
"First.. promise me you won't erase my memory!"
"Oh? you dare bargain with me?" I hissed. "I can just extort your memories do you know? but the Alpha king refused so you're quite lucky."
She's in such a state, yet she still have that little audacity of her to act so insolently towards her enemy? Surely, she's just an idiot that chases her dead sister.
"You won't." She said, gritting her teeth.
"Where is this blind confidence coming from?" I asked, curious what's making her will so strong. Surely it's not just because of her dead sister.
"I'm saying the truth. You're a loyal witch, so i doubt you'll hurt me right now." She said, her voice low.
Looks like she's not so dumb.
I chuckled, "Calling a witch loyal, are you cursing me?"
How laughable, i've been getting nice comments about me, but i have yet to fully understand why. But this woman in front of me was looking at me like she knows everything.
I arched an eyebrow, does she?
"Tell me, what do you know?"
She scowls at me. "Don't erase my memory."
Tsk, really stubborn.
"Fine, i give you my word." I replied, annoyed that she pushed me to force myself to agree to her conditions. "Now, tell me everything that those eyes are hiding."
She looks down. "My sister told me everything about her divinations, and among them is about the two souls stuck in a tangled loop of fate."
Tangled loop of fate?
"It was Alpha King Yasha and a demi-god named Givea, who got cursed by the moon goddess." She finally says.
Bewildered at her words, i took a step back, processing the information that she just told me. I knew that Gina was a demi-god but how is she related to the first Alpha King?
And why is she inside a werewolf?
"And? what was her divination about it?" I said.
She started to cry, "At first, i don't know why she was telling me about it. But one day, she came and told me that she was part of the tangled fate. She said that she will get killed the moment she meets her mate. and i was fool, i just told her to not worry about it."
Her sobs got worser.
"When she finally did meet her mate, the bastard really did try to kill her! that's when i first saw Gandiva showing up beside her. i didn't know what to do when she ran away from us while her body was in a bad state already. And one day, we just got a news that she was caught trespassing the borders of the RedBloodMoon!"
"What was she thinking?! getting herself killed by throwing herself to this merciless pack!" She adds, her sobs being laced with anger.
I laughed, the irony of her words!
"So you do know that we are merciless, yet you still dare to control the Alpha King? just what were you thinking."
"You won't get it no matter how much i tell you, since you never had somebody you loved after all." She gives me a painful smile.
What?
I slapped her, being offended for some unknown reason.
"Don't talk like you know me," I said angrily.
She laughs, spitting blood. "You're also part of the Divination Syreniana."
My eyes widened, not liking the goosebumps that formed around my body when i heard the name that sounded like mine. It was as if it was really mine, her eyes without a pint of dishonesty.
"You're gonna die." She spouts, "If you stick yourself towards those two, you'll get swept in their misfortune."
Just hearing her words was enough to scare me. I'm a Dark witch yet the thought of dying still scared me, for even if i have lived so long- it was true that i haven't loved anyone as long as i could remember.
I'm gonna die?
I shook my head, shaking the ominous thoughts off.
"What misfortune?"
"It's the effect of the curse, those two are the last pair of cursed vessels, the curse will end this time, and it's gonna take everything away around it." She says, with dead eyes.
