Hidden Fantasy-A Werewolf's Obsession

Chapter 42-Alessia & Logan

When I arrived at the Werewolf Mansion, the portal immediately closed, allowing me to exhale for the first time in a long time. I started heading upstairs, where I spotted Aiden placing Noah near one of the windows in his bedroom. He grinned and approached me when he turned his face in my direction. We held each other for a bit before heading downstairs to meet the werewolves who were waiting for us. As we began moving down the corridor, I was hesitant since all I could think about was how I had left this place behind.

"Are you all right?" Aiden enquired a concerned stare.

"Yes," I answered as we started going downstairs holding hands. Olivia, with a wide smile on her face, was waiting for us at the bottom of the stairwell.

"Are you two planning to tie the knot?" She questioned as she examined our clothing, specifically my colossal wedding gown. I quickly began informing her of everything that had occurred, and she was incensed.

"At the very least, you're safe." However, we need to change your clothing," she said as she whisked me away to her room, leaving Aiden stunned. As I entered Olivia's room, I flashed him a kind grin. My vision was temporarily clouded by lights.

Olivia hurried me into the bathroom and handed me a bag of clothes to put on. I rapidly changed into these incredible black and white camo trousers with a black top tucked inside. I then removed all of my jewellery, except the diamond necklace from Aide and the Bloodstone ring, and set it on a counter. I gradually removed all of the clips from my hair and braided it into two tidy knots. After which put on some amazing boots and walked out holding the massive dress.

"Thank you," I replied as I covered Olivia's bed with the dress, totally covering it. I just stood there realizing that I had just chosen Aiden but right now I felt like it was wrong. Like Logan was the one for me and that I wanted to be with him.

"You doing ok?" Olivia asked with a caring smile as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

"It's just…" I paused thinking that maybe it was wrong for me to tell her.

You promise that you won't tell Aiden?" I asked her and suddenly she gave me a shocked glance and began walking towards her window.

"Yeah what is it?" She asked her face turned towards the sunlight. Instantly I began telling her everything about what had happened and how confusing it was to choose between Aiden & Logan. After I was finished Olivia approached me startled.

"Alessia I know you won't like this but I think you should choose Logan. It sounds as if he is the real reason for your happiness" She said with such a comforting smile that I had to believe her as she was my master and I was her puppet with her pulling all my strings.

"Thanks, Olivia I don't know what I'd do without you," I said as I held her hand in appreciation.

"How are you going to handle it?" With a hesitant expression on her face, she queried pointing towards the huge dress filled with diamonds. My mind immediately came up with an idea. I gradually built up flames inside my fingers, eventually bursting the entire outfit into ashes. Olivia gave me a startled glance as if she had just seen a psychopath at work.

"You've been working on it!" With a grin, she expressed her satisfaction.

"I have," Thanks to you," I said as Aiden entered the room, startled by what I was wearing.

He murmured, "You look wonderful," as he gazed at me in disbelief but even that comment made me feel weird.

We took a cautious step towards the Conference Room, where all the Werewolves were gathered.

Olivia exclaimed, "Come on," as she pushed the two of us out of the room. We entered the Meeting Room with trepidation, where a large number of individuals were already seated. As Aiden stepped in, Olivia slowly began to rise, and she suddenly drew a large friable map onto the table, which everyone proceeded to examine. Slowly, I worked my way through the crowd, staring at the map in awe. The map appeared to have grown right there on the page, as if each drop of ink had collected itself to the proper spot, revealing the path to the Bloodstone.

"This map was received a few days ago, and we believe this is where the Bloodstone is being housed," Olivia remarked as the lights were turned out and the table lighted up.

Aiden roared behind me, "But there is just one issue."

"We don't know how to translate it," Olivia remarked, exhaustedly staring at the map which seemed to have a bunch of weird symbols which appeared to be ancient. Suddenly, everyone took out books and began attempting to decipher the map. After hours of trying, no one succeeded, and everyone became fatigued and sat on the ground. My head had become foggy, like that time when alcohol takes me into oblivion, but I haven't drunk a drop. It's as if every eyelash weighs more than it should and gravity has been turned up tenfold.

Just when I was about to collapse I started walking towards the map and examined it right away. The words were nonsense, but when my finger approached the map, the ring on my finger began to shine brilliantly creating a huge golden shadow. An idea arose to me out of nowhere.

As I clasped the ring in my hand, I yelled, "Guys, I have an idea to locate the Bloodstone."

Logan

I began to stroll towards my windowsill and gazed out the window. The season of slower thinking has arrived, those moments when my head becomes as a flawless empty horizon, seeing yet content to sit, in that comforting amber glow. I let the calm spirit of nature wash over me as I feel the quiet air and become engrossed in the song of crickets. Knowing what Alessia had chosen, I stood there with tears in my eyes. She turned me down despite all of the hard work I had put in for both of us. This heartbreak is burning. In my chest, it feels like concrete is hardening. This heartbreak came as a shock, as they usually do - you're on top of the world one minute and then you've cut down the next. Why is that? Is there a part of you that doesn't enjoy it when we're happy and you're in love? You do know it is you I am trying to help, right? It is you I work so hard for? Perhaps this is your method of reverting to your most familiar emotions, your opportunity to wallow in misery and pessimism once more. However, I am unable to live or reside there. So, without throwing another wrench in the works, come with me to bliss. You can only shatter this heart so many times before it heals all wrong, healing with you on the outside.

"I'll keep trying for us Alessia but I'm going to try a different approach. One where I know it'll break everything we've built together but it'll be worth it at the end I promise" I whispered as the entire horizon began to encompass everything around me, resulting in a lovely starry night with a magnificent moon smiling upon me with a smile of optimism, a smile of enthusiasm.
