Whore of the Werewolf Billionaire

Chapter 42: An Unexpected Attack



After almost ten minutes of waiting for her and her dismissal so I can go home and give Tyler a blowing, she was finally back.

"Grandmama?" The night is now bright. But the High Priestess has not yet turned on the lights, only the sole candle shining between us illuminates the Lodge of the Luna.

The loud sound of bells ringing echoed inside, and on the outside.

"Intruders! Intruders!" Heart-shattering shouts from around us made me flinch. Panic starts to swirl inside me.

I jerked my head, the face of Jane Moonstorm eventually warping to something...a wolf- like entity that stood like a man but with ram horns and bat-like hands and arms towering over

me.

'Selena, help me,' I prayed.

The candle went out. The light went out. The fire, the only element that can scare them away, went out.

Everything is utterly dark, the thick coldness is suffocating. The fragrance of death sent me crumbling from the chair and onto the ground.

"Hearteaters!" A feminine shrill from the outside made the calmness inside me dissipate. "Go summon the Alphas!" Several yells remind me that I am still in Stella's Soul. Yet, even if I am facing a monster here, I cannot do the same: shout for help.

"Whe-where is Jane?"

"I don't know," its unholy voice responded. "I only saw her going outside on the back door so it was her image I replicated. Who knows, maybe she left you to rot in here and for me

to sacrifice you" His voice became more manly, more human. "...Elaine."

"TYLER!!!" I finally shrieked. The Hearteater only laughed at me, his dark amusement

bouncing in every goddamn wall.

"TYLER!!!"

"TYLER!!!"

"TYLER!!!"

"TYL-" It slapped me before I could shout again. The Hearteater pounced on top of me,

on my very chest where breathing is nearly impossible.

"Oh Eliane, the great and glorious Forest Queen, Mother of Hearts, Lady of the Dark of the Moon, I summon you..." It began to chant with words I do not know why it seems to wake something inside me.

Then, before I knew it, darkness came lunging at me.

A sea of shadows engulfs every bit of life in my entirety, sending me to a place I do not know if this was heaven or hell.

This felt like a dream. But I am pretty sure it wasn't.

I can't feel the heat of the twilight sun, the tawny shade of it colored my cheeks and my

"I shall pay for my sins..." the voice is familiar. I want to turn around to see if my guess is

But it wasn't.

The voice resembles mine. So as the face.

  ;Is that me? Am I in the future?

The feminine outline and conservativeness of her outfit is like the ones women wear

during the eighteenth century.

  "I will never let you go, Eliane!"

  That masculine voice calls the woman Eliane. Is she the one Jane refers as to the Forest Witch and the-

"The creator of Hearteaters," I realized. Yet, my voice didn't so much as interrupt their conversation. Can they hear me? Maybe not.

; I cleared my throat, willing myself to touch them. But only the wind was in my hand. Am I

a ghost? Or are they?

Curious, I inched closer to Eliane. Her emerald dress swept through the grasses drenched

in rain, her hair as black as raven's wings were covered by her vibrant red cloak.

"Your cloak is the devil's color," said the man whose hands were entwined with hers. Who

the hell is he?

;

I froze.

"I must go now, Ruel. I must make peace with them and undo my creation before-" An arrow appeared from her back.

; Blood flowed from her chest, right from her heart. Yet, she did not so much as cry nor

panicked. Her face is calm, innocent. Pure.

; I cannot believe her heart is not as angelic as her mien.

She hoisted her face to the man-no, it was to me.

"You cannot escape your fate our fate..." Huge wolves appeared from behind, then to the side. Wolves of black and white and brown appeared from all over the place, running towards her. Towards us.

"ELIANE!" A dark, haunting, and raging voice made my knees buckle. The man in front of Eliane, Ruel, cried as he slowly stepped backward, slowly turning away. "I'm sorry, Eliane..."

Then it was only me and the Forest Witch. Her forest-green eyes met mine, locked with mine. Unyielding and sad. The emotion of being betrayed shone on the very windows of her soul.

I looked around and the night bathed the forest in shadows. I have been here before. I knew it. The smell of the forest and the way my feet sank in the earth. "...you must choose. Choose wisely, or your destiny will bleed like mine."

And the owner of that dark raging voice appeared behind Eliane, sending her head tumbling on the cold ground.

Tyler's POV

Thank the Goddesses she finally opened her eyes.

  "Elaine?" Grandmama Jane was on her side all throughout the hour.

"Two of the Hearteaters have now been burned, Alpha," Jose whispered. My Beta can never hide the fear that shone in his eyes-fear for Elaine and for the safety of Stella's Soul. ;   "How did they enter?"

"Like you, I have no idea," he squeezed my shoulder. 'Take care of her first before we settle this problem.' His voice echoed in my mind.

  "Tyler?" She reached for my hand. Grandmama Jane instead caught it.

"I'm so sorry, dear. It's my fault!" The High Priestess burst into a sob. My Elaine tried to sit but I gestured to her to stay lying in the bed.

She's in the mini-hospital here in Stella's Soul that mortal women can only step in when they are on the verge of giving birth or are due to laboring. Our in-house doctors are the one who usually go to their husband's mansion. Some physicians are Brown Wolves, mostly Brown Wolves since their gifts are useful in that field.

  "How are you feeling, babe?" I ignored my croaked voice and placed a kiss on her forehead.

  "Fine. It's just..." She cocked her chin to me. "I have this weird dream."

"We all have that," Grandmama Jane glanced at me, referring to my wet dreams.

"It felt so real. It's about Eliane." My grandmother and I both straightened our backs at the mention of the bitch's name. Jose opened the door and the figure of my brother and the Shadow Alpha, Karlos, appeared on the threshold.

  "What happened, Jane?" Karlos is in the fierce mode again. He rarely does that. But

now-

"I went to my kitchen to grab a cup of tea I hope to share with her before I dismiss her from our Luna classes. But the door on the back opened and Rowena came rushing at me, saying that something is urgent and it concerns Melissa..." She briefly looked at my older brother. "... Jason's wife."

    "Tyler?"

    "Yes, babe?"

"Is it because of me that's why they came?"

'Maybe. But I don't see why her and why now,' Remus uttered.

; I darted my gaze at Jason, then to Karlos. And finally, I glanced at my grandmother, the

High Priestess, who gave me a tight nod.noveldrama

"No, Elaine," I sighed before leaning closer. "I think there's a traitor within Stella's Soul."
