The realization that the mysterious woman could be behind the curse keeps plaguing my mind hours after the meeting concluded.
I mean it can’t really be a coincidence, right?
The moon goddess rarely punished her people and the elders were right. This pack was a stickler for following the rules. Of doing what the goddess required of them. They never step out of line, especially when it comes to the goddess’s wishes.
If this curse had been placed recently, then I would be of the opinion that it’s the goddess punishing them for the wrongs they did against me. But it’s not a recent curse. It’s years old.
Shaking my head, I try to clear it.
Like I said, it couldn’t be her, could it? But what if it is? What if she’s the one responsible for this curse? It would explain why she would want to go after Alec if she had some beef with this pack.
But if it is her, then that would mean that she’s way older than I originally thought. After learning about her, I assumed that she was, I don’t know, in her twenties or thirties. Instead, if I am correct, and she’s responsible for this mess, then it means she’s a century old, or even more.
Calvin never got a glimpse of her. Her face was veiled and her hands were gloved.
Fuck! This was so confusing.
Getting up from my bed, I give Aspen a kiss on her soft cheeks before walking out of the door. It was way past midnight and I couldn’t sleep. My mind just kept racing.
When I got outside, I breathed in the cool air. It was chilly, but thanks to being a werewolf, which meant our bodies ran on higher body heat, I barely felt the cold.
I just needed to clear my head. I needed to figure things out because they were driving me crazy.
I had mysteries to solve. First there is the veiled woman that paid Calvin to drug me and Alec. Then there is the mysterious Alpha Female that Nyx told me about. Then there is whoever it is that cursed this pack, and finally, the one creating the hybrids.
A part of me believed that they were all connected in a way. It may not be the same person, but I think those four persons of interest are somehow connected. Question is, what is it they are after? And do they have one goal?
Reading novels and watching TV shows, has taught me that most villains want one thing. World domination. Is that what they are after? And if it is, where does Alec’s pack fall in all this? Where do I fall?
I kick a rock in frustration. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. Why in the hell was my life so difficult all of a sudden? Why couldn’t I just have a normal life like everyone else? Maybe because you’re not normal? Nyx says lazily, drawing my attention to her.
I so do not need your sarcasm and attitude right now, I snap in frustration.
I drop down on a log and start rubbing my temples. A migraine was already starting to form and that’s just the last thing I need right now.
She scoffs at my words, searing me with a mocking look. We need to start training immediately. We need to start preparing for what’s to come and something tells me we don’t have much time. What are you talking about? What’s to come?
She gets a faraway look and for a moment she looks lost in thought. That is until she shakes her head minutes later, as if to clear the fog.
Exactly what I said. We are way behind schedule and the moment she learns you are here, things will go downhill really fast. We need to start preparing.
She was just adding to my confusion, but then, it’s not new. Nyx and her fucking mysteries. Her secrets are among the many things that are driving me crazy. Can’t she just tell me what the hell is going on?
The moment she learns I’m here? Who? The other Alpha Female you were talking about?
At my question, she remains mum. Goddess, I wish she could just tell me everything. How the hell am I supposed to be prepared for whatever the fuck is coming when I have no idea what it is? How am I supposed to be prepared with only a small part of the information? It will be akin to fighting blindly.
Releasing a deep breath, I try to stop myself from snapping at her and demanding the truth. It wouldn’t go well with her, and she’ll just end up giving me the silent treatment. Nyx can be a moody bitch when she wants to. Her silent treatment can last even a week. At least tell me this one thing, the Alpha Female you were talking about, do our powers originate from the same source?
It’s something I’ve thought about since I talked to Calvin in the dungeons.
Once in a while, there are people who are given special powers such as sight (seeing into the future), and healing. We usually call them moon blessed because they’ve been blessed by the goddess herself.
After speaking to Calvin, I couldn’t help but wonder if the same applies to both of us. I’ve never heard of anyone with the kind of powers I have. Or anyone with wings, for that matter. So, it made me wonder if me and the other female were both moon blessed. Yes, they originate from the same source, but hers are now tainted. she thankfully answers before finally shutting me out.
Her answer just reinforces my suspicion that the veiled woman who had us drugged and the Alpha Female are the same. Calvin did say that her powers had a dark aura to it. If her powers are tainted, it would explain why Calvin felt death and darkness surrounding her. Standing back up, I start making my way back to the pack house where my daughter is.
I don’t have all the answers, and I am so fucking confused. I am starting to doubt what I know to be the truth, but I am slowly starting to add the pieces together and, so far, I don’t like what picture those pieces are painting.
