Chapter 5

Edmund looked at the unconscious Layla, feeling guilty for making her the way she was.

Then what about Ameera who he made to be destroyed in such a way?

He gently stroked Layla's face, it felt like his love for her was truly blinding. Either Edmund didn't realize it or deliberately denied it.

"Zack? Are you there?" Edmund called to his wolf who had been living with him since he broke his bond with Ameera.

There was no response from Zack like he was really angry.

"Come on, Zack! She's just a weak and useless girl, isn't Layla much better than her?" Edmund coaxed.

There was no response from Zack. Edmund sighed harshly, not understanding the wolf's train of thought.

He gave up, deciding to walk out of the room to catch some air.

Leaving the unconscious Layla alone, Edmund walked down the corridor.

He suddenly felt annoyed when he remembered that Zack didn't want to talk to him because of Ameera, that weak girl. He thought.

With the speed of an Alpha, it took less than a few minutes. Edmund was now in front of the dungeon.

He walked into the cell where Ameera was, with his unfounded annoyance.

"Look what I'm going to do this time! You'd better perish, weak girl!"

The guards immediately opened the cell door upon seeing Edmund's arrival, there was no one Edmund visited but Ameera there. Making the guards already understand what to do without asking.

"Bring me a bucket of salt water!" Edmund said cruelly. He stared fiercely at the sleeping Ameera.

He deliberately did not wake Ameera up, because he wanted to give him a special surprise in the middle of his sweet dreams.

"Here, Alpha."

Edmund received the bucket of salt water he asked for. Not needing to count how many seconds, Edmund poured the salt water without pity for Ameera.

"Argh!" Ameera screeched in pain, her open wounds stinging as the saltwater soaked her body.

"Help!" Ameera cried out for help, not yet realizing who was doing her harm.

"You look like a worm in salt," Edmund said coldly.

It made Ameera realize who had the heart to do that to her.

"You!" muttered Ameera with a strong feeling of hatred.

He looked at Edmund with a hateful gaze, now Ameera hated the creature in front of him.

"How dare you look at me like that!" growled Edmund, he picked up the whip quickly.

"Argh?" moaned Ameera as she felt a new wound on her body.

"I will kill you tonight! Because of you, I can't unite with Layla!" said Edmund sharply, he didn't stop whipping Ameera's shapeless body.

"What did I do wrong to make you feel this way!" whimpered Ameera, not accepting Edmund's treatment of her.

"Your fault is that you are my eye!" Edmund replied angrily, he continued to swing his whip against Ameera's body.

"Argh!"

"You should blame your bad destiny! Why blame me!" replied Ameera with hatred.

"You!" Edmund, who was infuriated by Ameera's words, increased his whipping.

Until Ameera felt her whole body numb, she could not even breathe.

Ameera seemed to be trying to breathe properly, she drew in the air around her greedily.

But it was to no avail, her chest was getting tight. Her air supply was dwindling.

"I can't die now! Moon goddess please help me! I have to avenge myself, I can't die right now," she pleaded to the moon goddess in her heart.

It seemed that Ameera's prayer was heard by the Moon Goddess but in a different way.

Ameera lost her life because she couldn't bear the pain anymore, her body didn't move anymore when she received the lashes from Edmund.

Seeing Ameera who gave no response as he tortured her, Edmund ordered a guard to examine Ameera's body.

"She's dead, Alpha," said the guard as he felt no signs of life on Ameera's body.

Her body had even cooled down like a dead person.

"What a weak creature, so dead!" Edmund scoffed when he found out Ameera was dead.

Edmund wasn't satisfied with torturing Ameera, he was still annoyed. But Ameera was already dead, he had no choice but to stop.

However, Edmund felt that something was off in his heart. Again, the uncomfortable feeling of torturing Ameera.

Edmund continued to choose to ignore it, he ordered the guards to bring Ameera's corpse.

"You guys! Take her body to the forest of the dead, let her be eaten by wild animals or wild Rogues!"

The guards immediately carried out the Alpha's order, they lifted Ameera's lifeless body and carried it to the forest of death.

"Don't you pity this girl?" said a guard as they placed Ameera's body in the middle of the forest of death.

"There's nothing to pity, a weak girl doesn't seem like a good match for an Alpha. Let's go."

They left Ameera's body alone, not wanting to get into trouble for entering the forest of death for too long.

Meanwhile, Ameera's soul was now somewhere she had never been before.

"Where am I?" She said as she realized the place was now very unfamiliar.

Ameera took a good look at her surroundings, she felt comfortable there even though it was a strange place.

"Am I dead?"

Ameera noticed that her hands and feet didn't have any scars, her body should be full of wounds.

"My wounds disappeared, it seems like I'm dead," she whispered sadly.

She couldn't believe she was going to die before getting her revenge.

He tried to call his wolf when he realized the situation, "Zee? Do you hear me?"

There was no response from Zee.

"Is it possible that our realms are separate?"

Ameera tried to forget about it for a moment, at least here she and Zee would not feel pain anymore. Although she had not yet avenged her pain.

"This place is so cozy, this is what it's like to die."

Amidst her amazement at the beautiful place full of flowers of various kinds, Ameera felt someone's presence.

A dazzling light appeared before her, as the silhouette of a woman in a beautiful white dress was now in front of her.

"Ameera." The silhouette said her name softly, her voice very soothing.

"Who are you?" asked Ameera softly, she was mesmerized by the figure in front of her.

It looked so majestic and beautiful, but unfortunately, she couldn't see her face. Because it was covered by the light.

"Maybe she's a goddess?" thought Ameera.

"I am the Moon Goddess, I brought you here."

The Moon Goddess looked very kind in Ameera's eyes.

But Ameera felt a slight sense of resentment as she faced the Moon Goddess.

Because of the Goddess, she had to undergo an unpleasant fate.

"Why bring me here? So this isn't the realm of the dead?" asked Ameera confused.

"I will explain everything to you, come here." The moon goddess led Ameera to the front of a pond that looked very shimmering.

"Look into that pool, you will discover who you are and where you came from."

Ameera stared in disbelief at the moon goddess' words, but was nothing impossible for her?

Hesitantly, Ameera moved slowly to the edge of the pool. She gazed at her face reflected in the calm water of the pond.

A few seconds later, images of her origins and identity began to emerge.

Ameera cried in disbelief at her fate, did she have to live her life like that? If he did not avenge her, it would be unfair to Zee.

One by one, pieces of her life and destiny appeared, and Ameera's gaze kept changing with the images she saw.

Anger, resentment, hatred, and disappointment mixed in her heart.

"Now do you understand? I'll tell you one more thing." The moon goddess said as Ameera turned towards her.

"What else? Wasn't that everything?" asked Ameera still in a state of turmoil.

"There's still one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Your wolf is dead."

Chapter 6

Ameera shook her head, denying what the moon goddess said.

"What do you mean? There's no way Zee left me! She was just angry and needed some time to herself."

There's no way Zee died, right?

"You can check for yourself, feel her presence. Is it there? If not, then she's gone and separated from you."

"No!" Ameera immediately did as the moon goddess said.

She tried her best to find the bond between her and Zee but to no avail.

"Zee! Please answer me! There's no way what she's saying is true, right? I know we won't be separated, Zee."

Again there was no response from Zee. There was only emptiness in her, no more wolf she loved.

Zee was leaving him.

"No way," she said as she wiped away the tears that had flooded her face.

Ameera couldn't believe her destiny, the only thing she had was taken away from her.

How could fate be so cruel to her?

She cried bitterly, soaking in the pain in her heart that was getting bigger and more explosive.

"Why didn't you just take me? I'm alone, Zee," she screeched angrily.

Angry at the unfair universe.

Ameera stared blankly at the moon goddess in front of her, she hated the sight of her.

Wasn't she the one who decided her destiny? Then she was also the one who caused her to suffer like this!

"Why do you have the heart to do this to me? What did I do wrong? I never even bothered you in the slightest, but why do you have the heart to do this to me? You are the moon goddess! But why do you love your creatures!" Ameera said loudly, conveying her anger to the moon goddess who had been silent since earlier.

She was annoyed because she could not see what expression the goddess was showing.

"Are you happy? Or sad? You must be laughing at my fate, right? You're the reason everything happened!"

Ameera stared daggers at the moon goddess, she wanted to annihilate her so badly. But what power, she was just a weak creature. Even she thought she would never have a chance to avenge her.

Ameera cried so much, she beat her chest hard. Hoping to ease the tightness that filled her heart, hoping to bring her some relief.

But who could be sure it would work? Even if she did that for 1000 years it wouldn't change the pain.

The moon goddess just stared at Ameera in silence, not intending to open her mouth to calm Ameera down. Perhaps she wanted to give her some space.

"Why, why do I have to go through all this? Don't I deserve to be happy? Everything was taken away from me, even my wolf!" Ameera said with more pain than she could bear.

"Now what am I supposed to do? There's nothing left for me but pain and hatred," Ameera continued desperately.

Ameera was getting more and more immersed in her feelings of sadness, perhaps she would drown in a sea of sadness if no one pulled her out.

"Ameera." The moon goddess called out to her in a soft voice.

Ameera looked up at the voice of the moon goddess with a puffy and saddened face.

"Wake up, you have nothing to cry about. Everything has happened, nothing can be changed. Don't you want to avenge your pain?"

The moon goddess approached Ameera and aligned herself with Ameera who still had not changed her position.

"I did make a mistake, I shouldn't have just picked a mate for you. As justice for you, I will give you the blessing of the moon. Repay all the pain and injustice you have received."

Ameera stared in disbelief at the moon goddess before her, how could she give her blessings as the moon goddess to take revenge? Isn't the Moon Goddess a pure person and untainted by sin?

"I am someone who is supposed to provide justice for all creatures in this world, shouldn't I give you a chance to do so?" The moon goddess said without burden, sounding like the soothing voice of a fairy.

"Are you willing to accept my blessings?" asked the moon goddess to Ameera who was still glued to her.

With a face full of hatred, a gaze full of pain and burning resentment. Ameera unhesitatingly nodded her head, she accepted all the blessings including the consequences.

"I accept everything, including all the consequences that I will receive for my actions later!" She said without hesitation, she would have no regrets.

"Close your eyes."

Ameera confidently followed the moon goddess' words.

She closed her puffy eyes slowly.

'What will happen after this, I'll be the one holding the course!' Ameera thought firmly. She would not let the departed Zee down.

The moon goddess slowly pointed her forefinger at Ameera's forehead, the white light slowly illuminated the spot she touched. Little by little the white light became very bright, and Ameera felt her body warming up. She could feel a great power entering her body.

The light shining on Ameera's body had disappeared, but she couldn't open her eyes.

"Moon goddess?" She called out when she didn't feel the presence of the Goddess around her.

But she heard a small whisper that calmed her down.

"Wake up and do your thing."

'It seems that the Moon Goddess has returned me to my original world,' she thought.

Ameera slowly felt her whole body was very heavy and the pain that she had momentarily forgotten while in the place of the Moon Goddess returned to attack her.

"Ahh!" she hissed softly as she tried to open her eyes that didn't seem to want to open.

'It's like my body is destroyed!' she realized just before she closed her eyes.

"Hey! Look at him move!" A girl's voice was heard filling the void.

Ameera was sure she wasn't alone.

'Who is she?' she thought.

"You're right! He'll wake up soon, let's go get Roger!" Now Ameera heard the heavy voice of a man filling her hearing.

'Who are they? Are they the ones who saved me?' Ameera said in her mind.

Her consciousness had recovered but her body was still unable to wake up.

'This damn body! What a pain!' she thought in annoyance.

'I'd better let my body rest for a while.'

The voices she heard earlier were gone, she couldn't sense their presence. Maybe they went to call that person named Roger?

Ameera had given up on her body, she chose to sleep instead. There was nothing she could do now.

'I'd better sleep! Maybe the pain will disappear when I wake up.'

Silence again filled the room where Ameera was resting. Until the voices of several people came back a few minutes after Ameera fell asleep.

"Hey! Look at that, her body is glowing!" said a girl loudly as she looked at Ameera's body which was now covered in white light.

Chapter 7

"When will she wake up?" a short-haired girl asked her friend who was busy tidying up the room.

"I don't know, Anne. Roger said maybe in a few days or a few hours?" The young man replied with a counter-question.

"I ask, you ask back. Why are you so annoying, Jack?"

Anne glared with annoyance, she couldn't understand her partner's way of thinking.

"Your fault, why ask me?"

"You are! I'm going to... Jack! Look at her eyes starting to open!" squealed Anne changing her sentence when she saw Ameera who was starting to open her eyes.

Jack immediately approached Anne and joined her in staring curiously at Ameera.

"Looks like she's about to wake up!" said Anne happily.

Anne and some people in her group had long ago found Ameera dying in the middle of the forest of death. They decided to take care of her and bring her back to the base. Seeing Ameera's terrible condition at that time, the rogues who found her felt sorry for her. Instead of ignoring her.

Because rogues are werewolves who are outcasts and do not belong to any pack, their lives are also sad because there is no value in the eyes of other immortal world residents. Moreover, the werewolves who are members of a pack very often look down on them, it is not uncommon for rogues like them to be captured and used as material for them to practice.

Indeed, rogues are wild wolves who often attack others, but not all rogues are evil and bloodthirsty. Ameera was an example of this.

Ameera had now opened her eyes, her nerves shrinking as she took in the incoming light. She blinked her eyes a few times to adjust to the light.

"Who are you?" asked Ameera flatly when she could see clearly.

The two people in front of her looked very unfamiliar, but they didn't look like they wanted to hurt her either.

"He can talk, Jack!" Anne sounded like she was seeing someone talk for the first time.

"I guess we'll have to check your stupidity after this, Roger!" said Jack irritably.

"It's you!"

"Hi! I'm Jack, and this is Anne. You are currently at our place, you should rest first. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet." Jack answered Ameera's question cheerfully.

He was a little mesmerized by Ameera's beauty when he realized, it was much more beautiful when he opened his eyes. Jack thought.

"Right! You rest first, Jack will bring some food for you," Anne said, getting closer to Ameera.

Ameera just stared flatly at the two.

'So they're the ones who've been making noise since yesterday?' Ameera's mind looked strangely at the two people in front of her.

"Why me? You're the one talking! You should be the one moving," Jack said, not accepting Anne's suggestion.

"You're a man, how can a man be in the same room with a woman!" exclaimed Anne in a wise tone.

"What do you mean, why not?" Jack asked in a stupid tone when he didn't understand Anne's words.

"You idiot! You better get lost!"

Anne immediately pushed Jack's body out of the room where Ameera was staying, now she stepped back to the side of Ameera who was just silent.

"What's your name?" asked Anne as she returned to her seat.

The twinkles of the story seemed to be unconcealable on her beautiful face, making Ameera feel a little funny as she stared at Anne's face.

"Ameera Alcmene," Ameera replied without changing her expression.

"May I call you Ameera?"

"Of course," Ameera replied.

"I'm Anne, just call me beautiful Anne."

Anne with a high level of confidence stared at Ameera with admiration, Ameera's face was fascinating to her.

Ameera noticed where she was, a room with wooden walls and a floor. There wasn't much there, just a small closet and the bed she was sitting on.

Suddenly Ameera felt her ears buzzing, she moved to cover her ears hoping it would get rid of what was bothering her.

"Ameera? What's wrong with you!" Anne said frantically, she was afraid something would happen to Ameera.

But she couldn't leave her alone.

"Ameera! Did you hear me?"

Ameera ignored Anne's panicked voice, she couldn't handle the buzzing in her ears. Making her prefer to ignore Anne for a moment.

However, there seemed to be something happening again that made Anne exclaim, "Ameera! There's a mark appearing on your forehead!"

Anne continued to watch the engraving that slowly appeared on Ameera's forehead, the white light seemed to make a crescent-like pattern. But she didn't know that other marks were also appearing on Ameera's body.

Ameera continued to endure the pain until it slowly began to fade, and the light that appeared on her forehead also faded.

"Are you okay?" asked Anne anxiously.

She looked at Ameera's thin body carefully, how surprised she was when she realized that not a single scar remained.

Whereas before Ameera's body was full of scars that they clearly knew would never disappear.

"Ameera! Your body is clean, look, not a single scar left," Anne exclaimed happily, she felt happy for Ameera.

Because while taking care of her, Anne often cried imagining what Ameera had gone through to get such severe injuries.

"You're right," said Ameera as she looked at her body which was back to normal.

She even felt refreshed now.

"Here's a mirror, look at that mark on your forehead!" said Anne as she handed Ameera a mirror.

Ameera accepted it without hesitation. Her eyes widened when she saw the mark on her forehead.

An intricate carving shaped like a crescent moon, it didn't seem to be something simple.

"What is that mark?" asked Anne in confusion, unable to tear her gaze away from the beautiful size.

"But Ameera, there seems to be something I'm missing."

Anne returned her attention to Ameera's appearance which she thought was different, but she had yet to find the difference.

"What?"

"I don't know, I don't ta... Oh my god! Your hair changed color!" She squealed as she noticed another change in Ameera's body.
