CHAPTER 17


    “Wake up, sleepy head…” Zaden blinked his eye to open. It was way brighter than normal. He looked


    around to see Selena sitting at his feet.


    “What time is it?” he asked in a husky low voice.


    “About half past 12pm. Why?” Zaden snapped up to sit.


    “Howe no one woke me up?”


    “Who would want to mess up with a sleeping alpha?”


    Make already send an email to Selena of the tranted letter and Selena got it printed out. Grandpa


    Kai, Zaden, Orion and Selena sat down as Grandpa Kai started to read the printout.


    I am in pain, in great pain. I can feel my baby dying, his soul slipping off my grip every second. His


    heart beat slowing down to almost none. It has been days, my baby is suffering for days. An innocent


    soul who nevermitted any sin, have not even harmed an insect yet he is suffering a painful death.


    Why?


    What sin did I do to deserve such a heartless punishment? I loved a werewolf, is love a sin? If so, God


    is the one to be punished for giving me the ability to love a beast. God, including your Moon Goddess


    are the one to me, not me or my baby.


    Mark my words, you will pay. You will pay for the slow death my baby and I suffering now. You will


    regret the minute you left me to die, tied up here, on this tree. I will reincarnate, somewhere in the


    corner of the world and I wille to find you


    I will hunt you down, every single one of you. I will rise again from the peak of mountains, with my own


    army of loyal followers, raging with red eye. When I do, you are no longer the king of beast. Mark my


    words, your kingdom is no more yours. You will be spell bound and beg for death under my feet. Under


    my feet….


    All eyes were on Selena. She was the only werewolf born after 5 generation and she remained hidden


    for 24 years, even after her first shift. She is the one who came to Mountain Manuka with the intention


    to hike it. Ozrain Samrat, a whole army of Samrat and their rogues have been hunting for her. Ozrain is


    known to travel around the world to find his bloodline when she was just 10 hours away but she still


    haven’t found a trace of her. The writer was angry with god, and Selena doesn’t believe in god too.


    “What?” Selena asked in confusion


    “Don’t you see? This manuscript is referring to you. You are the rebirth of Elisa Mitkoi!!!” Orion


    eximed. Selena stood up from her seat


    “What makes you think Elisa Mitkoi is the one who wrote the manuscript? “ they were all dumbfound.


    “Then who do you suggest wrote this?” Zaden questioned


    “Someone who took Grandma Carol’s bedtime story a bit too serious. All I know is that my mom was


    obsessed with my moon mark. Even she could have written it, who knows.” She made sense and they


    didn’t have a counter statement to hers.


    “Let’s assume the manuscript is original and written by Elisa Mitkoi. Look at me!!! Do I look like I can


    take down an army of werewolves? Have I ever consciously shifted to wolf? For god sake, are you


    guys 100% sure that I am a werewolf? Have you seen my wolf? Think Zaden” Selena snapped.


    “I have seen your eye changing color” Zaden said low


    “Excuse me” Selena jerked her head back a little with a frown


    “ You were angry with Orion yesterday and steaming in your room, do you remember meing to


    coax you? You looked at me, your eye was pitch ck with silver rim” Zaden said. Somewhere in his


    heart, he knew she will find a way to counter this and he hesitated.


    “ It was a dark room Zaden” Zaden pushed his chair back vigorously and walked out of the room. His


    anger was rising every minute he is here, trying to proof her that she is a werewolf. Orion ran following


    him and grabbed his arms but he ripped it away. He stormed out of the house.


    Back at the room, everyone walked away from Selena. She kept staring nkly at the manuscript. The


    original wood b is quite hard to replicate but again, how did a dying woman managed to carve out a


    letter on tree bark? Her heart beat slowly started increasing but she didn’t notice it as her thinking is


    focused on the manuscript.


    ‘Mom did a DNA test from an unknown sample that matched to me. Could the sample be from the


    manuscript?’


    Blood started rushing up to her head causing slight dizziness. She blinked for a second long as she


    tries to snap out of her dizziness.


    ‘ If the sample is from manuscript, it matched me. Which means I am rted to the writer. But again,


    what if Daisy wrote the manuscript, being her daughter, of course my DNA matches with hers.’


    The room around her began constricting as a sudden chill creeped up her fingers. That’s when she


    realized she is having another panic attack. She ran to her bathroom, took a bottle of pills from the


    cab and refilled a cup nearby. Orion grabbed her hand with pills


    “What are you doing?” Orion asked


    “Let me go…” her voice was way lower and doesn’t sound like her, her breath trembles as well as her


    hands. He let her go and she quickly swallowed those pills with some water


    “Is that sleeping pills?” Grandpa Kai questioned and Selena nodded her head that is leaned back to


    bathroom wall, swallowing gulps of air trying to cope with her body. Orion grabbed her hand and


    dragged her out of the bathroom, the room and then outside of the house. Leonardo and Aaron who


    was discussing about Zaden storming out is now shocked by Orion’s action pulling half-awake Selena


    out of the house. They ran behind them and managed to stop in front of Orion.


    “Let her go, she is sick” Aaron bursted out. Selena could barely keep her eye open as her head rolled


    up and down uncontrobly. She sweat profusely as she breathed out loud. Leonardo snatched her out


    of Orion’s hand and hugged her to his chest where she finally got a ce to rest her head.


    “Leonardo please. Let me exin. She is not having a panic attack” Zaden came out of the woods


    rushing towards Orion. Orion looked behind him


    “Zaden. She is having one more of the panic attack “ Orion hugged his waist exining to Zaden as if


    he is having a panic attack. Zaden looked up at the sky


    “It’s full moon. She is having attack on full moon. She has been shifting every full moon” Zaden rushed


    towards her


    “Leonardo please, let her go. She will be standing here, right in front of you, I assure you that” he said


    trying to change Leonardo’s mind. By now Selena had cked out. Before Leonardo could say


    anything, they heard a low growl from Selena, hidden in Leonardo’s chest. It was pretty dark out here


    that Leonardo started looking around for the source of growl. Then he noticed Zaden’s eye focused on


    Selena. He looked down as he heard another stronger growl from her. He lifted her head up to face


    him, her face was white as snow. At first, Leonardo thought she is pale until a glimpse of shine caught


    his eye. She is has a sheen of silver on her skin. Her eyes were still closed. Her hair slowly started


    changing from root, ck to very light silver. Leonardo eye widened and he froze with Selena’s chin in


    his palm. Zaden had to act, he grabbed Selena arm and carried her to a clear space. He ced her


    down and stepped back. Orion took his phone out as he recorded what was going to happen. Selena’s


    dead like body is now moving slightly as she bend to fetal position and then suddenly arched her back


    as her hand got thrown to side. A series of bone snapping sound came along. Orion started grabbing


    his head and passed the phone to Aaron who is now freaking out. Orion’s wolf screaming to be


    released. Zaden was much more in control but his breath hiked as he watched Selena. Selena started


    to grow ayer of silver fur. Her short nails has turned into ws. Her spine twisted and elongated. Her


    face elongated to snout and within the next minute she had turned into aplete wolf. Orion has


    started turning but Zaden withhold himself from shifting. He needs his human to face her wolf, just in


    case she became intimidated by other wolfs around her. Selena’s wolf is much much more bigger than


    what Zaden has expected, almost as big as his wolf or even slightly bigger than his. Zaden careful


    steps towards now fully turned Selena. The wolf was still unconscious. He bend forward to have a


    better look at her. Simply divine would be the correct description. Aplete silver wolf wearing her


    leather ne from waterfall. The fur coat was super soft and shiny as it reflects the moon shine. A


    lump of ck fur formed a moon mark even on her wolf form, right below her ears, just like her human


    form.


    Zaden ced his palm on the silver wolfs face to only cover 1/3 of it. The wolf suddenly huffed out a


    breath and shook its head. She stood up with 4 legs and staled a bit to left and right before came to a


    steady stand. The wolf who is now panting, opened its eye and focused on Zaden, who is now


    awestruck. A pitch-ck eye with silver rim, staring back at him emotionless. A beast by nature that is


    as beautiful as the moon itself, yet ironically, for someone who is so blessed by the Moon Goddess,


    she doesn’t believe in God. Zaden shifted under her stare, a pitch ck wolf with golden eye, soon


    apanied by a golden brown and dark brown wolf. Her eyes swept from right to left,nding on


    Orion’s golden brown wolf, to Zaden’s pitch ck wolf and Grandpa Kai’s dark brown wolf. They all


    waited with anticipation of what she would do next. Naturally, a sense of protectiveness surged throughTêxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    3 of them towards her. One, because she stood there as a Samrat who can be their alpha and wolf’s


    basic gic make-up is to obey and protect their alpha. Two, she is an innocent Bambi, hidden within


    a Samrat that needs their protection until she learns to defends herself. Three, they fell a certain


    attachment or could be exaggerated as ‘fell in love’ with her beauty.
