They were in the training field with the warriors of the pack. Twice a week, Zion made sure that the warriors were physically trained. It was indeed an era where all creatures lived in peace, but he wanted to be prepared in case some mythical beings thought of attacking them.
"What do you mean?" Zion frowned.
"I mean, she keeps on forgetting you every day. You need to tell her your love story every morning, then make love to her every night, only to be forgotten again the next day. If I were his mate, I think I might go crazy and have lost control already." Cole said.
Zion didn't get offended by his beta's opinion. He was his best friend and his most loyal subject. He knew Cole was worried about him.
"I think waiting for her for a thousand years will be exhausting rather than introducing myself over and over. Besides, I feel more excited every night, thinking that I could see another side of her the next morning." He answered.
Cole chuckled and shook his head. His Alpha had fallen madly in love with their Luna. He thought to himself.
"You really are crazy over her." Cole commented.
"Once you find yours, you will understand my feelings." He said while tapping Cole on her shoulder.
Cole was almost the same age as him and had never found his mate. A lot of the male werewolves in their pack were still single. Maybe because of his curse, the other pack members couldn't find their mate. He was lucky that they didn't abandon him even though he was the reason his pack wasn't able to shift for a hundred years.
The curse was supposed to be one thousand years, but it was thanks to Amaris that they didn't need to wait that long. She was a powerful Luna and a kind-hearted woman. The pack was delighted to have her, and they felt safer and more secure now that she was here.
"By the way, did she tell you what her old self wants from her?" Cole asked.
"Yes. She's part of her anima. From Ari's understanding, she was separated on purpose because her body was too young to handle such powerful energy as hers. So she waited for her to gain some of her memories and remembered her ten forms. She also asked Ari to go to Mirrikh and talk to the creator of the Book of Malum. It's about my and her doom. And there were six protrea, not five."
Cole stopped himself from checking the gun in his hand. He looked at Zion with a confused face.
"The old her chose another one. She didn't say who it was, but Ari already had an idea." Zion continued.
"Who?" Cole asked, frowning.
"It's Diana." Zion simply answered.
"Damien's sister?" Cole exclaimed.
Zion nodded and chuckled when Cole sighed.
"Don't worry about me. Believe me, she's worth it." He said.
"I believe you. I just hope that we can find all the protrea so we can go to Mirrikh." Cole commented.
They watched the warriors' training, and Zion was impressed by the sudden increase in their power. He knew it was because of Amaris' and his powers combined that the pack members' speed and strength grew in just a couple of weeks.
"Did you tell her about what happened fifty years ago?" Cole suddenly asked.
Zion didn't respond for a moment, and Cole knew that he hadn't told her yet.
"You should tell her. Or are you scared that she'll burn the whole pack if she finds out your secret?" Cole smirked.
Zion gritted his teeth. He couldn't tell her yet since she was still cursed. He wanted to tell her once she regained all her memories.
"It wasn't your fault, and you know that. But I don't think she would accept it that easily."
He still didn't comment about what happened to him fifty years ago. He couldn't say that it wasn't his fault. He was so desperate to find her back then. His reasons became twisted; he became selfish and evil.
But he regretted it until now. That was the reason it took another fifty years for him to decide to move back to Verlice Castle. He didn't expect that he would finally see his beloved again. This time, she was real.
The two men didn't know that Amaris could actually hear their conversation. It was one of the powers of her fox form. She decided to stretch her legs and made a quick run around the territory when she heard Zion and Cole's talk.
She didn't feel mad that Zion was keeping a secret from her. She knew he had his reasons, and she was willing to wait for him to tell her. But she still wondered what it was.
She sighed when she reached the top of the hill. Tomorrow, they will start their journey and look for her remaining protrea. Then after that, they will go to Mirrikh to meet Phoebus, the Prorocisté, the one who wrote the Book of Malum.
"You're here, Luna."
She was in her fox form when she heard a man's voice. It was Damien. She knew why he came to see her, but she couldn't shift back to her Terran form because she would be totally naked.
'Are you here to ask me about Diana?' She asked using a mind link.
Damien was surprised that she could communicate with him even though he wasn't a member of the Blue Moon Pack. She was indeed a powerful being. He thought to himself.
"I was wondering if I could join you in your journey. You will look for my sister, and I want to be there when you find her." Damien said.
'What can you possibly offer to us? Aside from being immortal, I need to know first if you could help us or you will just be a burden.' She asked.
Damien knew he needed to show Amaris what he was capable of. And he wouldn't give up the chance of finding her sister again. He looked at her intently before answering her in a firm tone.
"How about a duel?" He asked.
'To whom? With Zion or me?' Amaris asked.
Damien chuckled. "No. You two are way too powerful for me. I don't want to lose my head. How about a duel with your two protrea, Maxine and Grakar?"
Amaris frowned. Grakar was a strong protrea, but she wasn't sure about Maxine's ability. She just had her training a few days ago, and it seemed that Max still didn't know what her powers were.
"Are you scared that they might lose?" Cole asked with a wide grin on his face.
'No. I trust them. But I need to consult Zion and my protreas first.' She answered.
"Sure! I'll wait then. Oh, and I want you to know that I will do everything to join your party for my sister.." He said before leaving her alone on the hill.
