Chapter 255: WITH ME

Chapter 255 WITH ME

Aeon’s words made Haven spat out the water she drank as she coughed painfully. He patted her back in a bid to help.

“Be careful” He said worriedly as he pat her back. Haven cleared her throat and shrugged his hands off. She didn’t like him touching her one bit.

By the time she was done, tears had gathered in her eyes. She gave him a glare. Do these people have no shame? How can they talk about such sensitive issues straightforward?

“What?” He frowned not knowing what he did wrong.

“How can you talk about that like that?”

“What?” He raised his brows “You mean sex?”

“Hey, shut up!!” Her outburst made Aeon chuckle.

“You don’t want to talk about sex?”

“Stop it!” She blocked her ears making him laugh the more. This girl was so silly.

“What? We’re both adults and well we’re partners so we’ll have to seal our union one of these days” He shrugged “But like I said, I won’t do anything without your permission—”

The sound of distant banging on a door interrupted his talk and both he and Haven looked towards the door.

“I think someone’s at the door” Aeon glanced out the window. It was getting late already. “But by this time?”

“Anything wrong?” Haven saw him get up

“I’ll go check. I’ll be back”

Minutes later, Aeon returned and the expression on his face told her something was wrong.

“What happened?” She asked seeing him rush to put on more clothes.

“There’s an emergency. The werewolves…”

Haven’s eyes lit up at the mention of werewolves. “Werewolves?”

“Yes” Aeon replied his back to her “Ethan just informed me they’ve sent a message but the message..” He paused “It just.. it doesn’t make any sense”

“What? What does the message say?” Haven curious eyes watched him put on a heavy coat.

“They said we should submit all the Guardian Angels to them else risk war”

“What? But why?”

“I don’t know” Even Aeon looked confused “It’s a peculiar request. We’ve never been on good terms with them but they’ve never made such a demand before. That Lucious.. I wonder what he wants this time”

Haven’s heart fluttered at the mention of Lucious’ name. Was it he who requested for the guardian angels? Could it be it was her he was looking for?

Oh Goddess!

Haven’s heart swelled at that thought. Finally he found her. Lucious found her!

“I have to go now, take care of yourself okay” Aeon dropped a small peck on her forehead making her gasp. She hadn’t realized when Aeon had walked over to her.

“I’ll be back” He smiled at her stunned face before he left the room, leaving a dumfounded Haven behind.

Avena sat cross-legged on a bench as she waited. Waited for who? She didn’t know exactly.

She had no idea how long she had been sitting here, waiting quietly and patiently for a person she knew would come yet she had no idea who.

She was in a beautiful garden.. well she wouldn’t call it a garden because of it’s enormous size. It was more like a farm but filled with different types of flowers that looked pleasing to the eye.

The lilacs not far away from where she sat reminded her of Haven. Her sister, Haven. Avena’s heart swelled with happiness at the thought of finding out she has a family of her own.

But at the same time, she was sad and had no idea what to do. She lost Haven and Seraphina in that place and somehow, she found herself in this place, sitting on a bench and not willing to get up because she knew she should be waiting for someone.

But who?

“I’m sorry, did I keep you waiting for long?” A melodious voice filled Avena’s ears. The voice was unlike anything she had heard before. It was calm and serene at the same time that Avena had to turn to see who it belonged to.

A woman smiled back at her lovingly, her head tilted a little and eyes shining brightly. She waved at Avena and her smile broadened seeing the expression on Avena’s face before she approached her.

“Hello, Avena” She greeted with her ever so beautiful smile when she reached Avena.

Avena couldn’t reply. It was as if she lost her voice staring at this creature who must have come from another planet. She was lost staring at the beautiful woman before her.

She wore one of the most beautiful gowns Avena had ever set her eyes on. An elegant, pure white robe which flowed down to the ground with beautiful silver designs embroidered all over it’s hems and edges.

Her fair skin looked delicate and radiated with so much beauty that she looked almost translucent and quite out of this world.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Avena heard her call her name just now, she would just assume she was some imagination.

But what caught Avena’s attention the most about the woman was the color of her hair. And just like her and Haven, the woman also had long platinum silver straight hair, and hers flowed freely down her shoulders and stopped inches below her waist.

And on her glistening silver hair rested a beautifully adorned crown which made her look like a queen and added a heavenly aura to her look.

She looked magnificent— too perfect to be real.

Avena had never in her whole life come across a woman this beautiful before. She looked nothing less than a goddess.

“Can I sit?” Her voice sounded like melody in Avena’s ears.

Avena nodded without thinking twice and watched the woman sit besides her. She gave Avena another smile and Avena felt herself melt at the gesture again.

Even her smile was out of this world. Who on earth was this woman?

“My name is Selene” The woman introduced

“Selene?” Avena mumbled the name “Just like the Moon Goddess?”

Selene nodded “Yes, you guys prefer to call me that.”

Her answer made Avena jumped to her feet “Y– You are– are the Moon Goddess?” She asked looking at Selene in disbelief.

Selene nodded. “I’m glad to see you too Avena. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”

Her words confused Avena. What did she mean by long time? Did she perhaps know her?

‘ Of course she does, silly’ She nearly slapped herself. ‘She’s the Moon Goddess of course’

Selene chuckled hearing Avena’s thoughts. It was really hearing people’s thought at times like these.

“Of course I know you? You don’t remember don’t you?” She got to her feet too.

“Oh my,” Selene exclaimed cupping Avena’s face and catching her completely off guard “Look at you Avena, you’ve grown so much from the last time I saw you?”

“Last.. time? How? I– I don’t think I’ve seen you before.. not that I can remember” Avena was confused.

“Oh you won’t” Selene retracted her hands “ Your whole memory was wiped when you left here. You didn’t remember anything when you went back to earth”

Hearing Selene say that made Avena feel confused more than ever. Her memory was wiped? When she went back to earth ?

Truly, Avena vaguely remembered anything about her past. She only woke up one day and found herself alone and left to fend for herself. She had no family and didn’t know anything apart from her name.

She always felt abandoned.

And now, the Moon Goddess was telling her it was because her memory was wiped before she returned to earth? If it was so then where had she been all her life?

“With me” Came Selene’s reply shocking reply. She smiled seeing Avena’s completely shocked face. “I know you have so many questions and I

will answer all of them today.

“Come,” She stretched her hands for Avena to take “Come with me and get all of your answers… Come.”
