Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

“There will be no union. He will have no home. His soul has been cursed to suffer for eternity. That was the price he had to pay for the mistake of his birth…. Did I get that right Ryan? ”

Chong asked as I called him to say what had happened and also about what Sherry had experienced before. These sorts of things did not recur ever since the reign of terror of the infamous Northern Chief. Why was there this sudden influx and why the hell happened to me? Why didn’t I remember uttering those words? What did it even mean?

” Curses are something that should not be taken lightly Ryan. If this indeed is about a real curse, I must get back to you after consulting experts. You better watch out on your way. It doesn’t feel very good. ”

” Are you worried about my health Chong?” I knew he was smiling when I hung up.

I stayed up the rest of the night.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Good news came our way, as soon as it was morning.

Beck and Josh were here.

Sherry was sitting with her morning coffee. Something about the air in the sea and her messy air dancing all over her face was making me want to scoop her up once again and bang her hard in my cabin till she screamed my name.

” We got too much Alpha news… There’s a lot happening. ”

Beck began telling but he probably stopped as he saw me staring at Sherry.

” Tell me. ” I turned my attention to him, only to find him staring at Sherry as well. He was probably following my gaze.

We sat down as Below brought us some refreshments and the boat dropping my boys bade goodbye.

” Her father… Josh began in a hushed voice, ” was taken by werewolves, we can confirm that. ”

” And we can also confirm that they belong to the same group who were turning those humans into wolves and causing us trouble. ”

” Bingo! Chong was right. Then tell me, were you able to trace their den? ”

I asked, banging my table with excitement.

” We did but we could not penetrate their barrier. It’s further north from here and by the aura the place radiates, it reminds me of the Northern Chief! ”

Beck completed when Sherry finally finished her coffee and came down.

” Why don’t you have my father with you? ” she demanded to which Josh said, ” Since when are we answerable to you? ”

” We are on our way to him. Seems like you too have a much complex history. Apparently your father socialized with werewolves like ourselves and worse. Did you happen to know about that? ”

Our boat turned all of a sudden with a huge impact. Possibly an iceberg. It wasn’t easy navigating these waters up North. The ocean in that region was treacherous.

Ever since Sherizad died in that implosion that she caused by fusing her dagger and Tristan’s sword, the Northern Chief and his minions were also gone for good.

Nobody exactly knew what might have happened in the final battle that we were supposed to fight. But they tried to tell me that Sherizad got over ambitious after Tristan came out of his coma.

They said that she got desperate and tried to integrate the power of her father’s weapons into herself. But she needed sacrifice for that ritual and she took my entire clan and a large number of werewolves from all the other clans in her attempt. But her attempt backfired and she died of that impact.

It was all bullshit to my ears. Though I mourned my tribe, I mourned her more than my own self. I wished I was amongst the ones that she took with her. I didn’t know her reasons but I wanted to ask her. I wanted to know. I was too broken, too angry with her.

How could he take herself away from me? How could she leave me alone like that?

The remembrance of that moment when I lay on the field with her lifeless body, made my heart plunge as I skipped several beats. My pit twitched with the pain and I stood up , moving the table between us with my leg.

If her death had taken the Northern Chief and his darkness along with her as well, then why and how was he back again? Is not, where was he all these while? Why was he silently stalking me and my people? Why was he trying to manifest once more?

Too many questions. Too little answers.

There obviously was a lot that Sherizad had kept from me. I needed those secrets. I needed my answers. I needed her.

” Whenever I tried to talk to my father about my mother he went into a frenzy…. ”

” He what… ” Sherry ‘s remark brought my attention back to the present.

” He was always brooding. And he would beg in his sleep. I wonder what sort of torture he had endured before he was able to escape this den , along with me. It must have been hard for him to leave my mother behind. No wonder he never got the courage to talk to me about it. Now I get it… now I understand. ”

I failed to understand what she understood.

” Alpha, we are very close to the spot. We would be entering their waters any moment. We should brace for the impact the barrier has. ”

Beck warned.

” Sherry, come here. ”

I pulled her close under my wings. We waited like that for several minutes.

I could hear her heartbeat, loud and fast.

A lot of time lapsed but there was no sign of any impact.

Finally we rushed out on the deck to check.

We were, for sure, in the territory of the northern head.

The place was as foggy and misty as was the site of our first joint assault on the northern lands.

The fog was so dark and thick that there was no way of steering ahead.

” Alpha, does this mean we moved inside the barrier? How? I swear we failed at our several attempts. How did we cross on the first go now? “
