Sabrina.
“Hey, honey, what’s wrong?” I turned to my Alpha, my fated mate and my husband. We’ve been together for more than half of a century, and it was never always a secret to him how I felt.
“You’ve been restless the whole trip, what’s bothering you?” He insisted.
I gazed right through his eyes, making him feel how I felt.
“I think I made a big mistake…” I confided.
“What? No, what do you mean?” He was both confused and hell worried.
I’ve always felt love in the way he looked at me, the way he held me. In every way, he made me feel love. That was why I was always confident I would never do wrong, since he was always there for me, to guide and support me. But it was different now. Did I make a decision that I would regret in the end?
“I have a bad feeling about everything. I shouldn’t have told him to come to Saskia. What if he did something crazy?”
“You mean our grandson?” Alaric took my hand from my lap and squeezed it gently. “Our grandson was smart enough to do such foolish things. We saw how he ruled the
pack. I am certain you know how good of an Alpha and a capable one our grandson
was. He would never do anything foolish.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” I conceded.
But why do
I still had this bad feeling about his plans. What must be the solution that Saskia told my sweet boy? I knew how kind and so giving my grandson was.
Especially now that it was for his luna.
“I think I need to go back. I need to come to Saskia.” I suddenly announced. My gut said something was wrong.
“What, no? We’re almost near Draco’s manor. If we go back, we can’t make it before midnight.”
I didn’t argue. He was right. And I was torn between finding out what was going on or giving my whole faith in my grandson. Right now, I can not afford to make mistakes.
It was Yzabelle’s life on the line.
“Corbin is smart and capable. He knew what he was doing. We should believe in him.” Alaric
coaxed me.
Somehow, I gave in to his coaxing and I threw away all my worries. He was right. Our grandson was capable of almost everything. Besides, the moon goddess would not let anything bad happen to her favored Luna’s Alpha.
Right, Saskia revealed to me that Yzabelle was Laura's reincarnation. My other self.
And when I told her about Yzabelle’s body and refused to get burnt, she told me it was maybe because the moon goddess didn't want her to leave. She was supposed to be the Remus Pack's favored luna. She was supposed to be me.
Now, it seemed like the goddess wanted her fate to happen in this lifetime.
As we approached the entrance to the manor, I decided that we would take Yzabelle’s body with us when we left.
The guards already knew us, but they had to prompt their master before letting us in. After a few minutes of conversation with Draco’s butler, they let us in. The butler accepted us with politeness, and we waited for Draco to come out.
Oh, how I wanted to pull the hands of time.
Killian:
I was done patrolling the grounds with my men. It was the only way I could distract myself. I was feeling restless and the tea’s effect lasted already. It had been a week or two since the last time I went to Saskia’s house. As much as I wanted to go to her for her tea, I stopped myself from doing so. I can not gamble on the chance that I might meet my future self at her house.
And how I wished I could regain my memory of my travels. It had been almost four decades since I came back, working my ass to prepare for this time, and I still couldn’t see the result of my hard work. I witnessed when Sabrina had her daughter and even when she grieved over her loss. I witnessed how her grandson
Corbin grew up to be a very capable Alpha for his pack. I witnessed how the Remus Pack thrived and became one of the well-known packs in the whole country because of their special Luna, Sabrina.
Our ties with the Remus Pack strengthened over time, maybe because I was always on the lookout for this pack. And it made them almost reach the peak of success, not just with business but with many aspects.
But none of those things satisfied me. I was always looking forward to the time I needed to camp here in Forks Town. And now that I did, I was feeling impatient and
desperate.
And I think it was because I wanted to find my luna. I have a great feeling that my past self had found my luna, because the thought about her kept on ringing in me.
‘Forgotten or not, you will always be my luna…’
That was the thought I had when I came back. It had been almost four decades and I still couldn’t get it out of my mind. My attraction to my Luna must have been so strong that I had never forgotten about her, even though I forgot everything that happened during my travel.
I badly wanted to know who she was. Maybe my restlessness would end if I was with her.
I sat down on the steel chair on the front porch. I wanted to get some rest before checking back on my men again.
The memory of my mate’s reincarnation suddenly flashed before my eyes. Her beauty was so captivating. And if only I hadn't constantly reminded myself that I should kill the woman, I might have grabbed her and kissed the remaining daylight on her.
But the warning regarding the readings about our fate suddenly rang in my head. I had
to kill her. I need to kill her.
Yeah, I swung the sword in front of her, but my heart was wrenched hard that moment I saw the pain of betrayal reflected in her pair of beautiful green eyes. I subconsciously didn’t want to do it. And I was torn between doing and not.
I was relieved that Corbin managed to stop me before I could hurt her. And what startled me was the truth that we shared the same mate.
We’ve been friends over the years. He was like the little brother I didn't have. And now that we’ve got different goals in life, I guess I have no choice but to fight him if he gets in between my plans.
I was in deep thought when I felt the stinging pain in my neck, it was like fangs, piercing into the flesh.
Oh, goddess! It was her!
I was feeling her pain! I could feel my mate’s pain.
What the fck?! Was he marking her?
No… it was nothing like a mate marking because it stung down to my chest. The pain started to intensify as the seconds passed by. I could feel blood quickly entering and blending inside her. It seemed to crossbreed something inside.
Oh, no, no, no, no… was he trying to convert her into a lycan? But that wasn’t possible. We couldn’t change her animal. Or maybe she didn’t have her animal awakened yet?
Was he trying to awaken her wolf?
I tried to stand straight. I needed to get to them! I needed to know what was going on.
But the pain was unbearable. I couldn’t keep my knees steady. I knelt on the ground, breathless. The transformation was so painful, I couldn’t believe how the woman could bear the pain. Her eyes were starting to blur. Genes were fighting inside her.
What the heck was my mate?
The pain didn’t subside. It even worsened and it weakened her body. It continued for a while and I had to bear the unfathomable pain. Until it stopped.
I didn't feel her anymore.
Did… did she die?
