Chapter 263 - Bitter Goodbyes (Volume 1)

After the death of Persephone, Prince Alarick howled while in his wolf form.

Chloe could not understand her own feelings why she was feeling sad for Prince Alarick.

The eldest son of the most vicious Alpha werewolf and an ally of her dark witch mother.

While they were having their grieving moment,

In few meters away, the Alpha King of all Alpha Werewolves was screaming and struggling from the excruciating pain he was feeling for the first time.

Who would have thought that Persephone would die in the hands of her own mate?

A shocking scene even for Beta Nolan who just arrived in the scene.

Witnessing their Alpha King writhe and scream in extreme sensation of pain.

He may not treated Persephone right but he never did anything deliberately to kill Persephone because he knew what he would lose if she dies.

And now … for her to die in his own hands was something worse than anything that happened to him.

Right in front of him … while writhe and scream in pain … memories from Persephone flashed into his mind as if it was just a while ago.

Something he never expected from himself nor Persephone herself, that he would be capable of … tears falling from his eyes.

At the same time while his veins getting poisoned by the curse inflicted to him due to his accidental killing of his mate, tears would not stop falling.

It was just like yesterday and past reminded him of those days Persephone was still subservient and loving to him.

Though everything changed when something happened between him and Persephone's best friend, the late Queen Esmeralda.

Pain kept writhing into his system.

"Aaaaaaarrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!" loudly screamed by King Viktor.

Enough for everyone to feel a deafening vibration and sudden effect by the outburst of the Alpha King.

The Great Oracle was slowly falling into his knees.

He already foreseen the events regarding the fatal and unfortunate accident between King Viktor and Persephone.

"Indeed, a cruel punishment for a dark and vicious soul." The Great Oracle pitied at the sight of two vicious souls.

Dark as they were …

Vicious as they were …

Ruthless as they were …

But they were once pure souls who only wanted to be happy and successful in their own endeavors.

Time may have led them to a dark path of no return.

No one would celebrate such pitiful scene.

If the Great Oracle was feeling empathetic towards the outcome between King Viktor and Persephone, Prince Alcyd was not feeling the same way.

Prince Alcyd emerged from the shadows with his fist clenched in fury of anger.

"All this time … All this time …" Prince Alcyd repeatedly muttering to himself.

His eyes turning into savagely wild red.

Not even his spirit wolf could stop him from his own fury.

There was nothing he could hear but only the revelation of the death of his mother.

All this time, the one responsible for it was his own father.

The senses of the Alpha Prince of Golden Moon Pack was laser focused only to the Alpha King.

For all the years of deceiving and truth being kept …

When he was full set ready to lunge at his father to tear him apart.

A sudden appearance of the Grand Dark Witch, Mia, halted the attempt of the Alpha Prince.

"I have to break it to you … Your father has an important role to my complete evolution … So, I cannot let you kill him yet! Maybe, some other time!" Mia pointed out to Prince Alcyd.

Chloe became aware of the presence of her evil mother. 

She wanted to engage in a battle with her but Mia released a dark wave of magic which stunned everyone for a bit.

Though, it was enough for her and the Alpha King to disappear as they were shrouded with black smoke.

Both Mia and King Viktor disappeared in an instant.

"NOOO!!! WE ARE NOT DONE YET!!"  Prince Alcyd was infuriated with the sudden disappearance of his father … The true culprit of the death of his mother.

He continued to release his frustration and anger, 

"COME BAAAACCCKKK!!! ARRRRGHHH!!!" 

Beta Nolan howled in recognition of their defeat and his bitter goodbye …

To the man he served for all these years and the woman he deemed the most pitiful she-wolf in the history of the Kingdom of Werewolves.

Magdeline appeared just in time to catch the Great Oracle before his head fell to the ground.

Barely hanging on to his life and consciousness but his fate may have been sealed already after all the things he had done to serve, protect, and save Selene.

"Great Oracle! Let me heal you!" Magdeline panicked at the sight of the Great Oracle dying.

"Ssshh … do not fret! I am ready … for the closing of my own chapter. We cannot change what is written for me. At least I have done what was necessary for me to …" the Great Oracle suddenly coughed in the middle of his reply to Magdeline.

Chloe wanted to rush towards her grandmother but there was something deep inside her that she could not leave the side of the grieving eldest prince.

Since the Alpha King disappeared and escaped along with the help of Mia, Prince Alcyd realized something.

It suddenly dawned on him that Selene could no longer be sensed.

He was too distracted with his previous fight with Lucius and then the shocking revelation regarding the truth from the death of his mother.

"W-wait … Where is Selene? WHERE IS SELENE?" Prince Alcyd demanded outright.

Selene's best friend, Chloe, also wondered at the mention of her best friend.

They looked and realized there was no signs of her.

Including Susan who was wondering from the shadows.

Only the Great Oracle knew about her location.

Since he was the one responsible in transporting her to safety.
