The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Bloodthirsty Wolf

Third Person.

"You are a good girl, believe me." Wanda peered into Xamira’s green eyes. "You kept your lips sealed. And honestly, I didn’t think you would do that for me even though I had asked."

Then she grasped Xamira’s finger. And almost immediately, the little girl trembled under her touch.

Wanda’s palms were cold yet, she had used them to touch a child whose body temperature was out of the question.

"Sorry..." Wanda withdrew her hands. "You’ve won my trust now. I will protect you. I promise."

Then, Wanda went on to tell Xamira she couldn’t visit her all this time or save her because her father had banned everyone from visiting her. And that she had to sneak into her room now after she saw her nanny leave.

Still, there wasn’t any reaction from Xamira. And it didn’t stop Wanda from continuing to achieve her aim with this sneaky visit.

For the third time, Wanda squeezed the cool water out of the towel and placed it on Xamira’s forehead.

"I must leave before your nanny returns. And remember, you can’t tell anyone about my visit. Your dad won’t let me spend time with you anymore if he finds out."

Wanda gave the little girl the impression that she missed her so much and was sorry for her situation, and made an effort to visit despite her father’s strict rule.

Now on her feet, Wanda readjusted the duvet on Xamira, pulling it up to her chest before straightening her back.

A soft smile played on her lips. "Xamira dear, I will speak to your father about you rejoining us at the dining hall. Just get better first. And when next I visit, I will get you some gummy bears."

Xamira’s lashes fluttered shut.

"Good night, baby."

And with that, Wanda turned and walked away.

My eyes grew heavy as I flipped over to the next page in the History book.

It’s been more than two hours since breakfast, yet I have never once taken my eyes off the book. My determination to confront my wolf with what I had learned about her drove me to this point of no return.

But I did skim over a few boring Chapters.

I learned more about my wolf, Valmora, through Serena and was marvelled by the extent of her bloodthirsty.

The Wolf Queen doesn’t go into battle and leaves halfway. She conquers and walks away with her troupe, victorious.

And she had never turned down a fight, no matter who her opponent was, which is interesting to note.

’I think I finally figured everything out,’

I finally snapped the book closed and put it down on my nightstand.

"Valmora? Are you there?" I called, crossing my leg over the other.

No answer.

I let out a low groan. "I know who you are."

Still no answer.

"I have confirmed that you are the ancient wolf, our first Wolf Queen, Serena."

"The historian got it all wrong," Valmora finally spoke. "I am the Wolf Queen, not Serena. I just choose who to work through."

Wow!

I had no idea Serena wasn’t the actual wolf Queen, like I had read about. Although it was surprising, it now made sense.

"So, you chose me just like you did with Serena?" I asked, hoping to find out if I was special.

"I didn’t choose you." There was an edge to her tone, as if she was annoyed with me being her host. "The Moon Goddess did. And I am still yet to see how you’re a good match for me."

Ouch! That statement hurt.

But on the other hand, I could understand my wolf’s frustration. I was like a bad market for her. She was the wolf of the most powerful female werewolf that ever existed in History.

She had displayed her power and authority through Serena only because Serena was strong, bold and courageous. So, they worked together and earned war victories together.

But now, she was stuck with a cursed, powerless woman like me.

Of course, she was right to be mad at me.

"So, I get to be the next Wolf Queen?" I asked, taking another chance.

Unlike I had expected, Valmora didn’t talk down at me, scold or ignore me. She actually answered my question.

"You will, only if are prepared. And there isn’t much time. There is a big war coming. And this is why you must be trained. You are too weak and too careless. And I don’t sense any ounce of discipline in you."

Once again, Valmora scored against me successfully.

"A big one. And you are very important. You must start training at once. Today, ask Draven to be your teacher."

I was so curious about this. But I knew better than to ask Valmora about it. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"He has no choice," Valmora stated confidently. "But it’s your job to persuade him. And if you can’t even get your mate to help you, you have no purpose left in this world and must be killed."

"I feel trapped inside your body. Just an hour’s conversation is enough to get me exhausted. And if you don’t build some muscles, we will never be able to shift into my form."

Delay isn’t denial.

"After building your stamina and muscles. The next step is unlocking my powers... We will find a way once we get to there," she answered.
