Her Loneliness
Ravina nodded several times. She walked to a small cabinet at the corner of the living room and pulled out a blanket. She covered Evos and continued with her conversation with the owner of Empire.
“Are you a werewolf too?” She finally asked the question that was bothering her ever since he first appeared inside her house. “And how did you know that he was here?”
“To answer your first question, yes, I am a werewolf. For your second question, that is because he unconsciously called me through the mind link. This is an exclusive way of talking with our pack members.” Vega openly answered her question. Now that she knows about Evos, there’s no reason for him to hide his identity.
The woman nodded. Vega Ishmael was blunt and straightforward. Kazandra was telling the truth when she informed her that the CEO of Empire was cold and doesn’t like to smile. But when she sees him with Kazandra, he actually looks more relaxed and comfortable. Right now, the man didn’t look friendly at all.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“By the way Sir Ishmael, how’s my boss? She hasn’t answered any of my calls.” Ravina’s question was out of the blue and it only made the other man frown.
“She’s at home,” was his cold answer.
Ravina gulped because of the man’s piercing gaze. She knew that it was not directed at her but it still felt like she was about to get suffocated. She cleared her throat and decided to call it a night instead. Vega did not even notice when Ravina stood up and left the living room.
The moment her body touched the bed, a sigh escaped her mouth once again. So many things happened in just a day that she could now feel the fatigue creeping in. And, no matter how much she wanted to stay awake and mule over things, Ravina eventually fell asleep.
Kazandra tossed and turned but sleep never came. She tried so many times to close her eyes and even drank milk but it had no effect, she was still wide awake. The soft classical music playing in the background didn’t help either.
The conversation earlier that day exhausted her but when it was time to sleep, it eluded her. She sighed and finally gave up. She pushed open the glass door to the balcony and sat on the reclining chair. Her thoughts slowly drifted to Vega and at what happened. They haven’t even built their relationship yet and now it felt like it was crumbling apart.
Was this a part of her curse? This thought looped in her mind. “Am I not going to be with him even in this life?”
The only answer she got was silence. There was no one there to tell her the answer. There was no one there to comfort her. Her family died long ago. She was the only one left. If not for Ingrid, she didn’t know if she could have survived all those years of cold and loneliness.
At the back of her head, she knew that she didn’t deserve to see Vega because she was the reason why he had to lose his life. This was her punishment for not being able to protect him when she was the most powerful Alpha during that time. She could move all of those valiant warriors to help others and yet she wasn’t able to do so when it was Regulus who needed help. It was too late before she realized that she was extremely blessed for being able to find her mate while others struggled to find or even meet theirs. She had taken him for granted.
She knew that she deserved this kind of life but when she saw him again as Vega, the longing in her heart only got stronger. Her desire to have him again in her arms burned like fire. She wanted him and yet she could literally see that chance slipping away from her hands.
One of her arms covered her face as she tried to hide the tears that were falling down. She tried to suppress the sound of her crying but it was no use. The silver moon glowed brighter and a silvery apparition came down and surrounded her. It felt like she was being hugged. It was warm and full of comfort and it stayed with her throughout the night.

Bodies of wolves and humans alike filled the land. There was smoke coming from all directions as the war continued to rage on. Growls and screeching were above all other noise. The war happened as the hatred and anger between the werewolves and the ORDER only grew.
Standing above the werewolves was Sangria, a pureblood alpha werewolf and was the Luna of the largest pack, Crimson Eclipse Pack. She was leading the werewolves into battle against the ORDER that was threatening them. They wanted to control all of the werewolves and subject them to slavery.
It has been a grueling battle but the werewolves cannot give up. If they give in, not only their clan would be in danger but all supernatural beings. Sangria couldn’t let the ORDER win.
“Aren’t you going to rest?” A man with dark hair entered the stone house after he heard that Sangria was back.
“I’m going back tonight. I can’t stay away from the front line for long.” She did not even spare a look at the man.
“Alright. We’ve prepared the supplies. You can take them with you tonight.” He was already used to the cold treatment and could only smile through the pain.
Sangria hummed as she continued to study the map and documents she brought out from her father’s collection. Seeing that the woman has no intention of talking to him, Regulus left. They were mates and yet there were many times that he felt like they were nothing more than strangers.
Regulus returned to the biggest stone house in their pack, where he was living these past few months after the war broke out. He couldn’t join the fight because he was not a werewolf. He was only a human who became a werewolf’s mate.
“Brother Regulus!” The children happily welcomed him. He crouched down and opened his arms wide, waiting for them to come to him.
The sound of giggling filled the pack house and it made the other werewolves smile too. It was the only consolation they had while the war was raging on. They were also grateful at the man because despite being human, he cared for them and treated them as his own. In their eyes, he was a great Alpha.
