Chapter 158


    Damien’s POV


    The sun had gone down and the moon hade up by the time Blood Moon Castle came into view.


    Alora was asleep in her seat next to me, she would be disappointed she had missed seeing everything


    on the way in, but she needed the rest.


    I thought back on the promise she had demanded of mest night, as I continued to drive towards the


    castle. I still didn’t know how I was going to uphold that promise, but I would have to. The Castle sat


    surrounded by a crescent formed out of eight different mountains. (2


    The Castle was veryrge, it took up the space of a small town, the road went up, the elevation


    gradually getting higher as we went. for more Daily updates visit :- .noveljar There was a city


    below the castle, we had already passed through it. In the night with the moon shining down on the


    castle it had a faint red glowing from the stone.


    From what I understood the stone that made up the Castle turned white when it was exposed to


    oxygen, the inside of the stone still held it’s original red color. We didn’t know what the stone was


    called, but legend has it, it was created when the volcano that used to be where the castle now stood,


    erupted its final time, leaving a creator and miles of ttened ground in the middle of these high


    mountains.


    The ground around the mountains was fertile and a thick tall forest of trees and all kinds of fauna was


    growing on the mountains. Thousands of acres ofnd surrounding the mountains were utilized for


    crops. The farms raising animals had been on the other side of the City.


    From what my father inw told me, they had very strict herding schedules, to keep both thend and


    animals healthy. Very much like the Werewolves, they moved the herd every two to three months,


    because animals, before agriculture was a thing, were naturally nomadic.


    Deciding Alora would be truly upset if she didn’t get to see at least some of the view, I wake her. I put


    my hand on her shoulder and gently squeeze. “Mate, were here.” I say. 3


    Alora’s POV


    It was my mates gentle touch and his “Mate, were here.” that had me blinking my eyes open. I rub my


    eyes with my palms to clear the blurriness away and look out the windshield and I gasp, it was so


    beautiful. Then we reached the top of the steep incline of the road, that’s when it happened, it was like


    a booming gong. 2


    I felt it in my chest, and when the car swerved a bit I realized, Damien did as well. He pulled off to the


    side in a hasty stop,  for more Daily updates visit :- .noveljar just in time for another


    resounding gong. This time I felt it shake the ground beneath our Jeep, heard it in the ground around


    me. A third gong sounded, again I felt it in my chest and the ground, but the sound of it now echoed


    through the air like thunder.


    “Sis?” Nathen called to me, his tone worried.


    I was panting, the gongs had knocked the air from my chest, and had caused a sheen of sweat to coat


    my skin. Shaking my head in a rapid motion, causing my braids, bound in a new tie up into a high tail,


    to fly around and brush against my shoulders.

    “I don’t know.” were my quickly gasped words, panic in my tone.


    I look over at Damien, he was also panting as if short of breath, and his skin glistened under the moon


    light with sweat. “I don’t know either, mate.” he says.


    I force myself to calm down. “Xena? Selena? Any idea.” I asked them.


    Everyone else had pulled over with us, both in front and behind. ‘I don’t have any idea what that was’


    Xena said.


    ‘I don’t either.’ Selena said.


    I unbuckle my seat belt and Damien does the same, and we get out of the jeep. The moment our feet


    touch the ground, the gong goes off again, three more times, and with each one I felt the power from


    the world around me sink into me.


    Memories of my past lives started to fit through my mind, they were too fast for me to focus on.


    However my power increased, and more of it was unlocked, it flowed through me, glowing in a purple


    nebulous like aura around me.


    I look over the hood of the Jeep at Damien, he was surrounded by a smokey red nebulous like aura.


    We lock gazes then we move to the front of the jeep, going into each others arms. The moment we


    touched the wind around us picked up and swirled around us. The ground beneath our feet trembled as


    more memories flited through my mind. I couldn’t catch the memories, but the love for this wolf they left


    behind, that I could feel.


    It was a good minute before it all settled down and went back to normal. Well….as normal as it could


    get… having just gained a few centuries of knowledge in the space of ten minutes.


    “Alora! Are you all right!” came my mother’s worried voice, she was practically running in my direction.


    Mom and Dad’s vehicle was the farthest ahead, because they had been leading or little caravan of


    sorts. My father, a worried look on his face came up behind her.


    “Alora, honey do you know what just happened?” He asks me


    My mother stops and pulls me from Damien’s arms, and starts to look me over trying to see if she could


    find any injuries.  for more Daily updates visit :- .noveljar When she was satisfied there were


    none she pulls me into her arms. My father pats my head and puts an arm around mom’s shoulders.


    “She looks fine dear, I think her mate would like her back now.” he says, a hint of amusement in his


    tone. He was trying to cheer his mate up.


    I look over at Damien, and he’s giving me a look I could only described as, having your favorite toy


    taken from you. It washed away the rest of the panic that had been lingering, because I just wanted to

    I turn back and meet my mom’s gaze. “I’m fine mom, I promise.” I tell her, then I smile, trying to show


    her I really was okay.


    She frowns, and seemed to debate a moment before letting out a reluctant “If your sure my sweet girl.”


    I nod, she lets me go and I turn to go to my mate, his demeanor perks up. He opens his arms in an


    invitation, one I was about to take. Then his smile falls and he gets an almost sullen look on his face as


    I’m hugged in different directions by my siblings. Kass, Asher, Nathen, Bryce, Daniel and Cathel, all


    trying to hug me at once. 2


    I staggered a little, but kept myself standing, andughed. “I promise I’m okay, I swear.” I tell them.


    Damien scratched his head with one finger and gave me a wry half smile, as if to say, ‘I guess I’ll put up


    with this’. Darienes up to my left, he had a frown on his face, and a worried look in his eyes, one I


    had seen so often when he looked at me over the years of our friendship. It made me a little sad to see


    that look, because I didn’t think I could cause it anymore.


    So I repeated the words. “I’m fine, I promise.”


    He nods, looking a little less sad, a little less worried. “Ok, can’t have anything happen to my best friend


    and sister inw. You have to be their tough at me when I inevitably get on my mates nerves and she


    kicks my ass.” he gives me a smile when he said thest part.3 .


    Serenity came up to him and gently elbowed his side, giving him a half smile when he looked down at


    her, Darien wraps an arm around her and pulls her to his side as he drops his hand from my head.


    “That was scary, you promise you’re really okay?” Cathel asked in a small voice, his face buried


    against my rib cage.


    I rub his head, and he lifts his face to meet my gaze. “I really am all right Cathel, I’m sorry it scared you.


    Thend was just weing Damien and I back. It hasn’t felt us in Centuries and was just excited.” I


    tell him. I don’t know which of my memories that came to me contained that knowledge, but one of


    them did. 2


    “Really?” he asks.


    “Really.” I tell him. He nods, my siblings satisfied I was okay let go of me, but they stayed around me.


    “We just found you, I don’t want to lose you after having just found you.” Kass says, sorrow in her tone.


    Kianes up behind her, he takes her into his arms, kissing her temple. Sheys her head on his


    chest and heys his cheek against the top of her head. He starts to sway back and forth, using one


    hand to pet the back of her head down her spine and back up again, repeating the motion, slowly, over


    and over again.


    Damienes up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Okay, I think it’s time to finish


    getting up the drive to the Castle, now that we’ve made it through thends greeting. I’m sure everyone


    could use something to eat or drink before we settle in for the night.” Damien says.


    Everyone nods, and we all get back into the vehicles we had jumped out of, finishing the drive to the


    Castle.
