Chapter 33: No one can stop me from iming you


    Xyrus was not there when I woke up this morning. He was not at his office either. Maybe he went to his


    house. Thinking of his house makes me blush. Will, I moved now that things are getting better between


    us?


    "Why are you blushing Willowwii?" Tash asked.


    "Who''s blushing?" I denied.


    "Maybe I know why, the alpha''s here." Elony teased.


    I immediately scanned the crowd and saw Xyrus ascending on the small tform. He cleared his throat


    and moved forward onto the center of the stage. Silence prevailed in the crowd, everyone bowing their


    heads with an ''alpha''. I, being his Luna now, his equal, didn''t felt the power to submit.


    "You should listen to him ''til the end." Tash pleaded, worry clouding her. "You know how much he likes


    you."


    I nodded, reassuring her. "I''ll try to remember that."


    "Members of the Blood Moon Pack." Xyrus started, addressing the crowd but his eyes never met mine.


    It felt like he was avoiding me yet he knows exactly where I stand. Why would he do that? I thought


    somehow, we''vee to termsst night.


    "What happened yesterday was something I should not have done. I was driven by my selfish reasons


    and blinded to what it would cause you. But, I don''t regret killing that bastard." He spat thest words,


    gritting his teeth. I noticed some members, especially warriors who straightened up proudly and


    nodded their heads in agreement.


    "It would only be a matter of time before the council will do their first move. And as for the meantime, I


    want you all to be more guarded and to look for each other. I cannot promise to protect you all at the


    same time, but I promise to protect our pack even if it may cause my life."


    "Alpha, will the council dere war on us?" Julian asked, which was followed by murmurs from the


    crowd.


    "I fear they will." Xyrus blurted honestly. His jaw clenched and I could see a line forming on his


    forehead. He was angry.


    " But why? Is it because you killed Jasper? We could tell the council what really happened. I could tell


    them."I offered.


    "My Luna, do you know what ended the war years ago?" Xyrus asked. But I have an idea he already


    knows my answer, so he continued.


    "Years ago, traitors to the monarch gathered together for one purpose; to end the rulings of the


    monarchy. For history had repeat itself. After a millennium, a boy was born with the rarest of wolves,


    the strongest of all wolves. Fur red as blood and eyes like fire. For who would ever have the wolf will


    have unspeakable strength and immense power. But all feared the wolf, for it favors no one. It is a


    beast with a thirst for blood like no other, no mercy. It only has one purpose; to kill. For if release fully, it


    would destroy everything out of his way...not even a mate would stand a chance.


    "Yourst words..." I shouted, like the stubborn I am, knowing his answer would hurt me yet like a brave


    foolish, I yed with fire. "Why you had chosen me then, at the mate hunt? If your so-called beast


    favored no one?"


    Xyrus took a step forward ring at me,ughing dangerously. Far from how calm and rxed he was


    last night. I hadn''t seen thising.


    "After all these years, hasn''t it yet sunken in your pretty stubborn head that no one can stop me from


    iming you? No one, not even anything can stop me." He growled dangerously.


    "Yeah." I nodded, tilting up my chin. "Even sacrificing them?"

    "Willow!" Tash warned. Disagreement showed on her face. "Don''t do this."


    "Tasca," I growled back. Showing just how frustrated I am from near the truth. "How did the war end


    before?"


    I asked suspiciously to everyone. All these times I was kept in the dark. And I am so hungrily wanting to


    know the truth. The previous war. The royals. Theing war. There must be something behind all


    these more than the beast itself living within Xyrus, very much alive and powerful.


    "I want to know all about the war years ago!" I yelled.


    "Then you shall." Luna Fae said. She was looking at me sadly.


    "Mother," Xyrus warned but she was already moving forward the stage with alpha Caden.


    Her eyes clouded as if reliving a memory. "Willow... we never wanted the war to ur. We did our best


    to convince everyone that my son meant no harm. But they did not listen. They...they gathered and


    created an army. My poor boy, he was only seven! And so, they attacked in the middle of the night,


    killing anyone who stood their way."


    She wiped a tear away and alpha Caden put a hand on her back calming her.


    "You see, blood was everywhere. You don''t know how much it hurts to see the ones you love getting


    killed right before your eyes!"


    "I think I know how it feels," I confessed.


    She nodded her head in understanding and continued. "We fought the battle day after day until it


    turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and sooner turned into years. Just as we were


    losing, Xyrus shifted for the first time at the young age of twelve. The war must have triggered his wolf.


    Like what happened to you Willow. It was a horrible sight. He was unstoppable. His wolf killed even


    those who were fighting with us. He was out of control."
