Vengeance Under The Moon

Chapter 4

The bond Mateo and I shared grew overtime. It always baffled me how a stranger could come into her life and remove most of the heavy burden I bore the last few years.

This made me want to know about Mateo's past. Where he came from and why we held such a strong connection. Every time I brought it up to him, he seemed to wave it off or consciously change the topic, avoiding every conversation that tied down to his past.

How traumatic was his past? This only elevated my curiosity even more as I decided to dig out the dirt myself. In the course of fishing out the true identity of my lover, the tendrils of fate seemed to have woven an expected twist in my life. I soon discovered why Mark never seemed to tell me about his past or where he came from. He was the son of Allucard, her Arch nemesis.

This discovery felt like an arrow piercing through my heart. It was indeed a shocker to me as flashbacks of her parents' lifeless bodies ran through her mind. With tears in my eyes, the revelation unfolded like a dark tapestry, casting shadows over the love shared between Mateo and I.

The gentle and caring werewolf I fell in love with bore the blood of my parents' murderer in his veins. How was that possible? The thought of my lunar bonded mate carrying the blood of her parents' murderer in his veins caused a profound sense of betrayal which gripped my heart, causing the love I had cultivated to turn into deep-seated conflict.

As confusion set in, my mind toiled on at the news that had befallen me. I was now being tested by life on the next move to make. I had to choose between my long-term revenge which I had carried for the past ten years or the new found love I cultivated for this mysterious Alpha, the son of Allucard.

Haunted, once again, by the flashback of that dreadful day, I once felt a chill run down my spine and suddenly, it hit me. It could be a coy.

A plan by Allucard to make me let my gaurd down.I felt so stupid in not realizing why one werewolf could hold such power over me. Rage and anger filled my spirit as she pondered on what could be the truth. Shortly after, the rage was soon replaced by betrayal, anguish, and heartbreak.

The love I had for Mateo was real, but it was all part of a scheme. I had never felt so heartbroken in her life before. Even my own parents' death was not as close as this. This was a stranger, a werewolf who entered her life not long ago, causing me this much pain. Why? Why did it hurt so much? It was like the lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere of Crestopia all felt the anguish in my young werewolf's heart.

A dark cloud surrounded the lands of Crestopia. It cames with this sorrowful aura as it poured down the rain that represented the betrayal in my heart. The c****x that opened my heart to an endless array of negative emotions flooding inwards.

Tired of feeling helpless, I got up and decided to face Mateo. He betrayed my love for him. Although he was a pawn in his father's game, I still felt mad with rage as the man I shared a bond with happened to be an offspring of Allucard.

I confronted Mateo with the newfound truth, my eyes displaying a lot of emotions.

With rage, anguish and betrayal in my eyes, I didn't hold back from him. In that intense moment, my eyes became windows that let loose the deepest of emotions. In a hushed conversation, he kept assuring me his father had no idea of his intentions towards me.

He went further in telling me about his broken relationship he had with Allucard throughout his years. How he always opposed every ruthless move his father made and paid immensely for it. Feeling the conflict reach its peak, I felt torn between love and vengeance, as I had to make a strong decision on what I should do next. I had some doubt about Mateo's trustworthiness.

I still wasn't certain about his intentions, and I was in no mood to make mistakes. I still felt it was a trap conspired by Allucard. In order to dispel my suspicions and test his commitment towards me, Mateo pledged to follow me in my quest against his father.

He promised to stay at my side as he embraced the challenge of fighting his father.I was so confused as I saw the true intent in his eyes.

Could this be a trap? How would I know? These were the recurring questions that went through my mind as the light began to fade before his face.
