I felt my heart pounding, and I was extrely restless. I lowered my head and was staring at the ground.
"Alpha Anastasia, are you alright?".
The voice of Aunt Penelope made co back to myself.
I stared at her, but my mind was stuck thinking about what had just taken place.
"What’s that in your hands?". She asked after she stood in front of , and my eyes widened.
’Why didn’t the dragons hide themselves like they always did?!’. I thought and looked at the dragons in my hands, only to see two adorable black cats. ’What in the world? Can the dragons shapeshift?!’.
"I didn’t know you like cats, Alpha Anastasia". Aunt Penelope comnted as I let go of the dragons and allowed them to stay on the floor.
"What are you doing in my room, Aunt Penelope? I am sure you didn’t co here simply to talk about my cats".
"No. I ca here for a better reason. I heard that you have surpassed your wolf. I didn’t believe that until I felt your strong aura". Aunt Penelope’s face remained straight as she said to , though I remained silent and waited patiently to see if she had sothing more to say to .
"I know we have decided to let the world know about you. But, are you sure you are ready to bear the burden you might face?".
"I am not weak, Aunt Penelope". I said to her with a frown on my face.
"You have changed, Alpha. I almost don’t recognize you anymore. You suddenly have so much potential and are even more skilled than our pack’s most talented doctors".
Aunt Penelope said to . No, not Aunt Penelope anymore. Her aura had beco stronger. The person in control of the body now is her wolf.
Finally, I know her wolf’s aura.
And, I am glad that, from the beginning, I called her Aunt Penelope. It turned out that I was right. My instinct was right. It was truly Aunt Penelope who had been in control of the body all this while.
"Hello dear, Alpha Anastasia".
"Aunt Paloma". I said to her.
Thanks to the mories of this body, I knew the na of Aunt Penelope’s wolf.
"Penelope didn’t only co to your bedroom to talk about how you had surpassed your wolf or about the burden you might bear as the chosen child of the moon goddess". Aunt Paloma said to , before she placed both hands on my shoulders.
Her actions caught off guard as I didn’t expect her to hold my shoulders.
"After your parents died, you may think that Penelope ignored you. But that’s not true, Anastasia. The death of your parents really shook her. She has not been herself ever since then". Aunt Paloma told .
Her red eyes, which were similar to mine, were staring at .
"Why are you telling this, Aunt Paloma? Why couldn’t Aunt Penelope tell that herself?". I asked her and the frown on my face deepened.
"She can’t tell you, Alpha". She said after letting go of my shoulders. She turned around, so that her back was facing . "She was, and is still disappointed in herself because she didn’t defend you and cared for you after Alpha Ashton and Luna Allegra died. You can’t bla her for that, Alpha. Pardon , but back then, you were truly irresponsible. That is why she was harsh on you".
"What is the point of you telling all this now, Aunt Paloma? I don’t quite follow". I asked her, but she chuckled deeply while staring at the ceiling.
She stopped chuckling and lowered her head. "Your aunt and I have decided to leave the shadows’ pack’s city. When the hybrid creatures attack again, we will stand in the front line and defend our pack. Thanks to you, our warriors won the previous battle. But sadly, even with your help, we still lost so of our warriors to death. Your aunt and I feel sad for the death of our warriors. We know that death in wars is inevitable, but anyway, we want to avenge our dead warriors by killing those bastard hybrid creatures and the wild beasts".
"You asked what was the point of telling you all this. Well, Penelope and I want you to know that this might be the last ti you see us again. We want to rest on the battlefield. During the past two months, you have shown us that you are capable of defending our pack. So please, don’t change again, Alpha. We love this current you". Aunt Paloma finished talking.
She turned to and smiled, before she turned around again and started leaving.
"Wa-". I couldn’t finish my words. What could I possibly want to say to her? Even though this body resembles Alpha Ashton, I am nowhere related to them.
Would she still say she loves when she realizes I am not who she thinks I am?
"Can’t you not go?". I suddenly said, surprising myself.
"No". This was her reply before she left the room.
I sighed and massaged my temples.
But why do I feel empty?
And, what was the aning of that insane rage I felt within my heart?
I stopped massaging my temples and gave a deep thought to the negative emotion I felt. ’Could it be that the dark energy has started to control ?’. I wondered.
’The dark energy controlled you, Clara?! Are you alright?’
’I am okay, Elektra. No need to worry about ’. I replied to her.
Sothing climbed my legs, and when I looked at my legs, I saw the dragons. They were both in cats’ forms.
I picked them up. Staring at their adorable faces, I said, "I once said I would relocate to the moon if dragons existed. But, here I am. I haven’t done that".
I breathed deeply and added, "This might sound crazy, but if you guys can understand , stay in these cat forms and don’t return to your dragon forms. Since you don’t want to leave , just stay in these cat forms so you will not scare everyone".
"ow ow!".
"ow ow!".
The dragons owed excitedly.
I smiled as they escaped from my hands and jumped on my shoulders. They rested their heads on my shoulders. Thinking about the gold mines, I left my bedroom and headed downstairs to my office.
