Chapter 35: Accepted
Chapter 35: Accepted
Serena's POV:
I felt an unprecedentedly powerful force rushing through my veins.
In the distance, I willed for the short wizard to be thrown high into the air, flinging the wand out of his hand.
When the wizard was falling to the ground, he had lost his grip on Patricia and I immediately flew her towards me, gently placing her back on the ground.
The werewolves who were present had witnessed everything.
Peter rushed over to Patricia and picked her up.
Alpha quickly pounced on the wizard and pinned him down with one claw.
Luna also came to take Patricia in her arms, crying tears of joy.
Peter looked intently at Patricia, checking to see if she had been hurt anywhere.
"She's not hurt.She's only unconscious."
Other werewolves had joined Alpha to make sure that the wizard wasn't going to get away.
That bastard had kidnapped so many children, causing turmoil to several werewolf packs.
Finally, he had been stopped.
Alpha walked up to me and gave me a respectful bow.
"Serena, thank you so much for saving our Patricia.”
"You're welcome, Alpha.More than being Peter's sister, Patricia has always been my good friend."
Alpha glanced at the other werewolves who had seen what happened.
He then stood in front of me and announced with a loud voice, "We all witnessed how Serena had successfully located the wizard and single handedly brought back my daughter.For that, it is against everything I stand for to kill my daughter's savior just because of one agreement to preserve our bloodline's purity.From what Serena has shown us tonight, not all hybrids want to bring danger to our pack.In fact, a powerful force like her can even help our pack, so we shouldn't be so ungrateful to turn away from having such an opportunity.From now on, Serena is still Peter's mate and the future Luna of Red Maple Pack.And no one is allowed to divulge her hybrid identity to anyone else.Is this understood? Are there any objections?"
No one dared speak.
The elders lowered their heads.
Luna came up to me, still sobbing.
"Honey, you are definitely Peter's mate.No one else will be able to take your place."
I looked at the other werewolves and heard what they were thinking.
Most of them were still afraid of me.
But at least, with the blessing of Alpha and Luna, no one would attempt to kill me anymore.
They had accepted me to be the future Luna of the Red Maple Pack.
It didn't matter that many people were still afraid of me.
For now, the bare minimum of not wanting to kill me was enough.
Eventually, I hoped to prove myself to everyone here.
Peter proudly stood beside me, smiling.
Even without my mind reading skill, I could tell that he was bursting with pride and joy.
"You are awesome, baby." I responded with a smile, and heard another thought in his mind.
"Pet, we're still outside.Can you stop thinking about sleeping with me for just one second?"
"Sorry, honey, can't help it.Let's go back home now, so that I can finally make love to you."
Unfortunately, we were so swamped with other tasks to do when we got back.
Peter and I never found enough free time to even do a quick one.
However, thanks to my mind reading powers, the interrogation process for the short wizard didn't take long at all.
I was able to get the information from him easily.
The wizard's name was Henry.
He was the apprentice of Alexander, who was notoriously famous in the magic world.
Because he was fascinated by how powerful werewolf-vampire hybrids were compared to the purebred, Alexander wanted to find out how powerful a werewolf-vampire-wizard hybrid would be.
Hungry with power, he ordered his apprentices to kidnap werewolf and vampire children so that he could operate trials for his experiment.
Henry was just one of Alexander's several apprentices.
Since Alexander was extremely secretive about his location even to his apprentices, Henry didn't know where his mentor was or how the experiments were going now.
Although, I was able to get some information from Henry about a place where werewolves from other packs were imprisoned.
I relayed this information to Peter and he immediately sent out Alvin to lead a rescue operation for these werewolves.
As for the werewolves that had already been taken away by Alexander for experimenting, there was nothing we could do about it for now.
Still, Peter had also initiated an search for Alexander with the collaboration of other packs.
We decided to lock Henry up in prison for now, thinking that he still might prove useful in the future.Things were far from over.
In fact, they had probably just begun.
We were far from catching the mastermind.
But at least, we were able to save Patricia.
That was enough victory for now.
When Patricia regained her consciousness, we held a celebration. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She was delighted and utterly grateful to find out that I was the one who had saved her.
"Oh, Serena, you have already saved my life twice! Well...No, no.Even though you are my savior, I don't think I want to stay close to you anymore.You'll find out about all my secrets!"
The she-wolves who were hostile to me now had softened their attitudes, but like Patricia, they also didn't dare to approach me.
I was alone on one side of the hall, while they sat far away from me, shouting when they wanted to talk to me.
I actually found this scene to be quite funny.
"We don't have to do this, you know.I can turn off my mind reading power for a while," I chuckled.
At this time, I realized that Camille was nowhere to be found.
"By the way, where's Camille? Why didn't she come down to the party? Is she sick?"
"Oh, Camille left earlier.I was going to ask Alvin to send her back by plane, but she declined and said she had to travel somewhere else,"
Patricia explained, shrugging her shoulders.
So, Camille seemed to leave in such a hurry.
Wondering if it had anything to do with my new powers, I felt a pang of guilt.
Camille was a traditional and reserved girl.
Perhaps she was worried I would find out about her secrets, too.
"Well, it's a pity that she can't attend the Mate Ceremony," I carelessly blurted out.
And everyone had gone quiet.
‘Perhaps it is for the best that Camille has left.Otherwise, she would just get hurt even more seeing Serena officially become Peter's mate.It's obvious that she likes Peter, after all.’
‘Camille is a beautiful and respectable woman.I believe the Moon Goddess will arrange a good mate for her, just like Peter.’ Even though I didn't want to, everyone's thoughts poured into my mind all of a sudden.
I wanted to block it out, but I still didn't know how to control my power yet.
At least, Camille was a much better woman than that bitch, Kate.
Even though both of them were Peter's admirers, they were not the same kind of woman.
Camille must have thought that it was the wisest decision to leave and move on.
Thinking of how much pain Camille must have been feeling right now, I felt a little guilty.
"It's not your fault, Serena.This has all been arranged by the Moon Goddess.You shouldn't put yourself down just because Camille has lost.I'm sure she will find someone soon.The only thing that matters now is that you and Peter love each other very much,"
Molly reminded me.
"Thank you, Molly.I really appreciate that,"I replied.
Sometimes, it felt like Molly was the more mature one between the two of us.
The sharp ringtone of my phone suddenly jolted me back into reality.
An unknown number had sent me a photo.
It was a picture of a handsome man in a white shirt, holding a beautiful woman.
Judging from the flight information screen in the background, it seemed they were in an airport.I knew who the man was at a single glance.It was my Peter.But I recognized the woman in the picture as well.
It was none other than Camille herself.
