Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Liviana’s POV

“Honey, are you really not going to talk to any of us?” mom asked for the nth time.

I don’t even know how long I’ve been staying silent.

All I know is I feel empty.

Depressed, even.

I’m still alive but I’m not living.

What’s even worse is the fact that even when I go back, I’ll never be able to have the same bond that I had with Luan.

The mate bond between us did not exist anymore.

I don’t know if I’m just being shallow but I feel terrified of the fact that while I’m here, he might end up with someone else.

They said I was in a critical condition and it may take a very long time for me to recover.

But how long?

What if by then, Luan finds a second chance mate?

He’s the only man that I’ve ever let myself be romantically involved with.

And it took a lot struggles to let him in my heart.

And now this?

Is the moon goddess trying to play with me?

“Liviana, please” my mom pleaded.

I felt guilty for making her feel this way.

But I couldn’t motivate myself to do anything anymore.

I’ll be stuck here for who knows how long.

While everyone I love is mourning for ‘my death’.

How am I supposed to feel about that?

I stood up and turned to look at my mom.

“Where’s the moon goddess?” I asked her with a blank expression.

“I’m here, Liviana”

I turned to look at the moon goddess.

“I need to know something” I said.

“What is it?” she asked.

“Is my life a joke to you?” I said.

The moon goddess eyed me.

“Liviana” my mom softly scolded but I brushed her off.

“Do you think I’m some puppet to you?” I continued on.

“If this is what you have planned for me, why did I have to go through all those trouble only to end up here?” I asked her as I teared up in frustration.

“Do you think my life is some kind of drama? A plot in a book? An entertainment for you to enjoy?” I said in gritted teeth.

“Why me?” I asked weakly.

“I did all of it to shape you into the person you’re meant to be, Liviana. You will rule over both territories and will go through a lot of struggles while doing so. I’m preparing you for the worst. That’s what I’m doing” the moon goddess explained.

The tears started to fall from my eyes again.

“I know you’re hurting, Liviana. But you’ll get through it. You’ll learn to numb the pain. You’ll learn to not let your emotions get the best of you. You’ll learn how to lead not only a pack but a kingdom” the moon goddess said as she made her way to me.

I fell to my knees and she crouched down in front of me as she held my chin and made me look up at her.

“I’m sorry that this had to be the way. I really am. But you will understand me soon enough. Your journey will not be easy. I can’t let you go into battle without a weapon, can I?” she said.

“Trust in my plan, Liviana. I only ever wish for the best for you and my people” the moon goddess said as she kissed my forehead.

Then, a bright light flashed before my eyes and I felt something build up in me.

Something so powerful that it made me scream and whimper in pain.

My whole body felt like it was on fire.

Then, I felt my body lift up into the air.

I screamed as my whole body went through a change that wasn’t familiar to me.

Then, I felt vines crawling up into my arms as I was slowly encased in a water orb.

What’s happening to me?

Then, there was another sudden flash of light and I was put back down to the ground.

I panted.

I can still feel the heat inside my body.

“Liviana, are you okay?” mom asked in worry.

“W-what just happened?” I asked weakly.

Mom glanced at the moon goddess.

“The moon goddess she…she gave you her gift” she said with a small smile.

I looked at her confused.

What did she mean by that?

“Did it hurt?” the moon goddess asked as she went to my side.

I gave her a look.

Of course it did.

“I-I’m fine” I said.

I’ve already said a ton of mean things to her earlier.

I might as well consider this as my karma or something.

But it’s not like I did something wrong, right?

Thinking about it, I’m the victim here.

“W-what did you do to me?” I asked as they help me sit up.

“My gift. Your weapon” she said.

“What?” I asked confused.

“Rest first. I’m sure that took up a lot of energy from you” the moon goddess said as I watched her leave.

And here I am again.

I’m left questioning everything.

The moon goddess has made it a routine to make me feel this type of way since I got here.

If I can run away, I probably would.

But it’s not like I’m not in the spirit realm or something like that.

I sighed.

Like the moon goddess said, I had to rest.

Amaris came and she gave me a ride on her back and dropped me off a cabin.

It was near a river and a meadow.

It was beautiful and peaceful.

I’m assuming that this is my temporary home while I’m here.

Mom left after a while of looking after me because she had her own duties to fulfill in this realm.

It was only Amaris and I.

“Why do you seem unaffected about the mate bond being broken?” I suddenly asked her.

Amaris seemed a lot more composed than I am considering the fact that she was the one who always kept pushing us to be with Luan.

“Because I already saw it coming” she said.

I looked at her feeling betrayed.

“And you didn’t tell me?” I said in disbelief.

“Because you seemed so happy to be with Luan” she told me.

I was.

“Did you know from the very start?” I asked her.

“No. I only found out after we had that foresight. That’s when I knew” she said.

“And you prepared yourself just like that?” I said.

“Who said I prepared myself?” she said.

I just looked at her.

“No one can be prepared for a heartbreak. But you’re already suffering so much. If I add up to your pain, what will become of us?” she said.

I sighed.

“You’re hurting just like me, aren’t you?” I said.

Her eyes couldn’t lie as she looked at me.

“We’ll never find anyone like him, Liviana. That’s for sure” she said and I nodded in agreement.

Amaris snuggled into me and we took a nap together.

It will take some time for us to accept the fact that we lost our mate but we don’t exactly have a choice.

But maybe when the time is right, we can reunite?

Atleast that’s what I hope.

But we’d never know.

I’m still upset with the moon goddess though.

I think both Amaris and I are.

But then, I suddenly remembered that this isn’t even a first for Amaris.

Since Amaris was also my mom’s wolf, she also went through the separation of the mate bond with my dad’s wolf when my mom descended to the spirit realm.

Maybe it’s also the reason why she’s so calm and composed right now.

But I’m not like her.

I’ve never had anything romantic with a guy except Luan.

And it has become a total failure for both of us, I guess.

After a while of resting, I woke up without Amaris beside me.

I went out of the cabin by myself.

I made my way to the meadow of flowers and as soon as I stepped inside, the flowers suddenly bloomed.

I was left in awe at how beautiful it looked.

As I walked further, more flowers bloomed.

I giggled fondly.

As soon as I stepped out, the flowers closed again.

What just happened?

I shook my head and headed to the river.

I walked on the platform and dipped my fit slightly into the water.

But then, it felt as if the water had become solid under my feet.

I blinked profusely as I pushed myself off the platform and landed on the water.

Yes, ON THE WATER.

I was standing on the water.

My eyes widened in fascination.

Did I just develop super powers?

Or am I dreaming?

“I see, you’re enjoying yourself”

I turned to look and saw the moon goddess.

“What’s happening, moon goddess?” I asked innocently.

“This is my gift for you. Your weapon for the battle. And your protection from harm” the moon goddess said as she too stepped on the water.

“Powers?” I asked and she nodded.

“You’re kidding” I said not willing to believe it.

“Do I look like I joke around, Liviana?” she said with a chuckle.

I blushed.

“And I’m bringing it to the real world?” I asked further.

The moon goddess nodded.

“Yes. But you need to master them first. I can’t have you hurting yourself and others when using it” she said and I agreed.

“So I’m really stuck here for the time being, aren’t I?” I said and the moon goddess nodded with a chuckle.

“I’m afraid so, my child” she said giving me a pat and I sighed.

I, Liviana Crest-Alaric am stuck in the spirit realm.

How interesting can my life get?
