Howling Hearts

Scarlet:

I laid in the middle of a pool filled with dark liquid. I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.

But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole. "Saige". It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead. As well as the agony that fell among her face.

I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would've felt.

I would've hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.

And honestly I don't blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.

I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn't want to. Myemotions where conflicting and agonizing.

I kept replaying my memories and I couldn't shake my mother's howl that kept repeating out of my head.

A sound that was driving me crazy and luring me into a depression. "It's not your fault Scarlet" I heard my wolf say within the shadows.

I lifted my head from my knees showcasing my teary and puffy face. "T... Then whose is it"

"Saige"

"No I could've controlled my temper"

"And so could she. She threatened the Future alpha of silver moon pack the fact that she lived longer than 5 minutes after that was mercy enough.

The fact that you stopped your whole pack from ripping her to shreds was mercy enough. And the fact that you feel guilty enough to lock yourself up here in far too kind for a she wolf like her." "B but my mother"

"At least she has a body to burry, not scraps. Besides if she was to blame you for protecting yourself and your child then she never truly was a mother to you"

She said and walked back into the darkness. I placed my head on my knees again and just sulked for what seemed like hours.

I heard a few words from the outside world here and there and most of them just slipped over my head words that I weren't seeking words that I didn't need and from people I didn't need it from. "I'll take the wheel until you're ready to face the world again"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

I heard my wolf say within the shadows and in all and all I didn't mind I needed a break I needed a refresh and I needed to work through what had just happened.

Moon Goddess:

"you sent Saige to assassinate Scarlet at her gender reveal are you kidding me Zeus you couldn't let her enjoy a day so big and so important you just have to destroy anything and everything until you receive what you believe you are owed" I said placing my arms over my chest trying to contain the anger that was boiling within me.

"Oh Selene we both know that I am indeed owed. You promised me something in return for your husbands eternal gift" "Really you call that a gift. You put him to sleep for all of eternity.

Yes, he is youthful but I will never again hear his voice or have, conversation with him or explore the pleasures of life together" he raised his brows at my words

"Since you have multiple children I doubt that you and your husband have issues exploring pleasures...

In any case I still granted you what you wanted and your paymentmy dear... is due.

You should be happy your daughter will be queen of mount Olympus a success that a lot of goddesses here wish for their daughters so truly I am the one granting you the favor" his smile resonated that of a devils.I scoffed loudly. I couldn't believe me ears.

Did he truly think I was stupid enough to listen to his absolute absurd reasoning? Suddenly the doors to his office barged open.

Everyone in the room eyes shot into the direction. Moments went by and no one revealed themselves making us all c**k our heads to the sides.

Suddenly I heard grunt and then a massive thud coming from behind me. I looked back and Zeus had disappeared.

I looked over the table and saw him choking and holding onto his neck. I soon realized that someone was doing this.

I jumped into their mind and soon I saw my daughter sitting on a grey rock just laying her head on her knees and crying.

It seemed like a prison one she had created for herself within her own mind. I jumped out pretty quickly and I realized it was her wolf doing this.

I made as if though I didn't know anything and soon Zeus shocked her body making her reveal herself.

The room gasped but she didn't stop. The moment she regained herself she lunged at Zeus once more.

He gripped her arm and threw her across the room I used my abilities to catch her before she hit the wall and placed her onto her feet.

She started running again and this time I shielded her from Zeus's attacks

she jumped onto him and he once more tried to throw her off but instead she used the momentum against him pinning him to the floor and slipping something into his mouth.

His body started twitching rapidly before it all came to an end. His body turned to stone making him look like a statue.

And not long after he turned to dust. I stared at the woman that stood above his ashes breathing heavily causing her baby bump to rise and fall.

I was stunned and shocked. Entirely uncertain of what to do next. Soon Guardsstarted filling the room and Aden followed right after them.

He looked around the room trying to spot his father but when he couldn't his eyes landed on the heap of dust that laid inches from Scarlets feet. A sense of sadness filled his eyes before he met hers.

"So you've made your decision then?"
