Chapter 116

“No. I don’t really remember” I answered

I shrugged. “But you saw her. She has not even awakened her woll yet. She is also weak compared to others, but that is because she does not have a wolf to share strength with

Beau absent mindedly reached for her book, and began tracing her finger on the pages.

“I know, but I think it is high time you tell her everything.. especially with the rogue King and her stupid Ex–lover chasing her

“You’ve been keeping tabs on me. I muttered, but she did not deny it.

“It is my duty to do so, plus my visions are not really in my control. They just show up at the oddest of times and tell me everything.

Oftentimes they are a jumbled mess and I worry about everything unnecessarily.”

“So you saw everything?” I could not help but ask.

“Not really. As I said, sometimes I get fleeting visions. I wanted to warn you about.. what was his name again?. Theo yeah, I saw him and Eden together and bits and pieces of everything. I simply pieced it together. And based on your reaction, I guessed it right.”

Inodded. “You did. But that doesn’t help me a lot right now.”

Beau leaned forward. “It is your decision but I would still insist that you get her prepared. We are running out of time.”

The fate and the Moon Goddess still hating me?” I asked sarcastically.

She gave me a look but then stopped tracing her fingers upon the diary. “The moon Goddess loves everybody equally, even those children of hers that hate her.

I scoffed, “I don’t believe in her anymore. This curse was from her, wasn’t it?”

Beauty mumbled, “We can’t really say for sure. That’s not certain yet… but there was a time you used to believe in her.

I warned her, “Don’t go there”

Beauty shook her head but replied, “Fine, I won’t go further, but if you wish to break this curse, you have to stop beating around the bush. And if you won’t tell Eden anything, I will”

I looked at her with a firm resolve, “No you can’t. She just ran away a few days ago. Do you want her to run away again?” Beauty turned around and stood looking at me, her eyes narrowing at something

“What?”

“Eros, you know she is going to be your anchor–your cure. You absolutely cannot start having feelings for her

“What are you even blabbering about?” I countered in a rather stern voice. She didn’t miss noticing it.

Beau came walking towards me and looked at me evenly. “I, I was just saying that it could be dangerous. You know you

cannot afford mistakes”

I let out a breath and walked towards the table, ignoring the fact that even the mention of Eden made me feel restless, Had she seen visions of us together? Or how being close to Eden made me feel euphoric? But she would have mentioned it.

“I never agreed it was the right choice. You keep pushing it on me.”

And she was quick to reply. “Because we are running out of time. Time that we don’t have. Time that YOU don’t have.”

I let out a mirthless chuckle. “I care for every subject of mine. Even if he or she doesn’t believe it. Eden is weak, so I want to give her time to awaken her wolf first and be strong enough to shoulder another responsibility, a big one at that. I hope the coming full moon she will awaken her wolf. Then we can tell her everything”

“Your Hybrid he–is fine, right?” She asked, looking at me curiously.

“Of course”

Beauty took the book off the table and clutched it tightly. That book of hers was quite a bit of a mystery to us. She would scribble things in it and keep writing, but never showed anybody anything.

I never tried to steal a glance inside because being nosey was not my style.

She only grabbed the book and said in a grim voice, “You better be right about the fact that you only care about her, just like a subject. Or I am not sure how things will play out in the future.

[Eden’s Pov]

I was in dreamland, covered in sheets and wrapped in it like a cocoon, when I heard a noise from the windows.

My body felt stiff and sore as I groaned in my sleep and mentally hoped whoever it was to leave me alone.

“Shoo, muttered in my sleep, but the noise was persistent.

It was an odd noise, like somebody was scraping their nails on the windowpanes. My eyelids felt heavy, and I groggily opened them while trying to look around.

I didn’t know Arthur was a prankster, but he was goofy, so he might have found a way to annoy me. When nobody answered, I pulled the pillows above my head and tried shutting my eyes again.

There was a noise again, coming from the window. The odd scraping noise had returned.

1 felt so annoyed that I threw the pillows and finally opened my eyes to throw my fists at someone.

But there was nothing. My room was empty..

I looked around stupidly and muttered, “Arthur, this is a very cruel way to wake someone up from sleep.

I waited for a minute or two, but Arthur did not reply, Frowning, gathered the sheets and was about to pull them up over myself again when I saw the window.

It was open, and the curtains were flying through the light breeze

“But I had closed the windows before sleeping.” I thought and kept staring at the window–stupidly.

Letting out a sigh, I got up from the bed and went to close the window.

“Maybe I did not close it tight enough, I thought and shrugged.

But when I reached the window and tried to close it, my gaze fell on the dense trees outside the mansion’s huge gated compound.

A certain patch of trees was shuttling and I could see the leaves and branches rustle.

Compared to that, the rest of the trees looked oddly still.

I tilted my head and kept peering at the forest trees and I felt a
