Marked By The Alpha's Cursed Blue Moon

Chapter 137: 137. Fearful Moment

Luna Victoria was quiet and the look on the face of Beta Gilbert suggested that he was also in a mood not to talk, so she decided not to bother asking them any questions.

After about five minutes, Bernard stood up and walked straight to the staircase and it was to his room he went, with an angry facial expression.

’I have never seen my son this angry, I believe something huge must have pissed him off and also my husband has been quiet with an unpleasant look on his face... I need to do something to help this whole situation as soon as possible!’ Luna Victoria thought to herself, as Beta stood up from his seat and headed for the room and she also followed him. noveldrama

* Bernard In The Room*

Bernard was unable to get any sleep that night, as the rage coming from his anger could burn down a whole city and his eyes were frequently changing to the Alpha’s colors, as he was also trying to control the rage.

Enough of hiding behind my dad and always sending guards to do most of my jobs... I will start going out myself now and anyone that kicks against me, I will make sure that such a person takes their last breath upon going against me. Wrath is what they request and gladly I will give it to them!’ With a very furious look on his face, Bernard thought those words to himself.

"I need to create an identity for myself and a visit to whoever goes against me would be something that has a name... I need to create fear all over the park and beyond, and that’s exactly what they need from me!" Bernard whispered those words to himself, as stood up to sit in front of the large mirror in his room...

* Laura’s Room*

Laura was in her room trying to get some sleep, but she was unable to; due to her heavy mind and a lot that was going on around her and in her head.

She suddenly got up from lying down and sat on the bed, with both hands placed on her forehead.

* FlashBack*

Hadizah suddenly broke the silence, as no one was talking and her eyes were fixed on Laura’s eyes before she even started saying a word.

"There’s a power coming your way and I don’t think it has ever been given to anyone in this universe in recent times... The last person that had it was an old wizard about three hundred years ago and he misses using it!" Hadizah said with her stern look still glued to Laura’s eyes.

Laura at this point was in deep confusion and curiosity, as she was eager to know what the power was and at the same time was scared of what the power she talks about might change in her.

"The wizard had the power to listen to minds and thoughts, which you also do have and the one he possesses, that you do not have, is the power to control minds to what you want... That is about to come into your life because everything showing on you speaks it loudly!" Hadizah further explained to Laura calmly.

"How did the wizard miss using this power and what later happened to him?" Laura asked out of immense curiosity.

"He had the power to control fire as a wizard, coupled with listening to the mind and controlling them... He became obsessed with the powers and he brought everyone in the town that he came across under him to do his will, as he governed over them in a tyrant manner!" Hadizah further narrated to Laura the story, as Mrs Spencer sat back to listen to a story she also knows a lot about.

Laura was so lost in the story, as she was quiet and very focused with all of her attention buried in the words of Hadizah.

"The wizard used to have a very good heart and that was why the universe blessed him with such a gift and since he had the last one... He started to see himself as god over all. A day came and he was outside in the night taking a stroll in the woods and to his surprise, heavy rain started falling and it was only on his path that the rain was falling and everyone around him started praising him, as they thought it was one of his magical doings and he was filled with pride and arrogance. Suddenly a very loud thunderstorm struck and it was only on him that it landed, he fell and died at that very place in the woods!" Hadizah continued to narrate the story to Laura.

"His body instantly began to decay and in less than ten minutes, he had already decomposed and vanished into the ground... When the people ran home to talk to others about what they had witnessed, they met with the greatest of shocks. They saw the people in his palace frightened down to their bone marrow, as the thunderstorms had set them free from his powers and a message was brought by the thunderstorm to the wall!" With a very dulled expression on her face, Hadizah explained to her.

"What was the message that was on the wall?" Laura asked as she was anxious to know how the story ended.

"Only the spirits can give life and rule over all... No one would taste such powers again and the message was written in dripping blood and so many believed that it was the wizard’s blood!" Hadizah ended the story, as she looked straight into Laura’s eyes.

Laura was so scared, as she had goosebumps all over her body, as she listened to the story about the wizard with such power, she was about to possess.

"So... So what links me to such a story, ma’am?" With shaky lips and a voice, Laura asked.

"Because since the day I came into Mrs Spencer’s house, I have seen the sign of the old prophecy on you and I am very sure the power will start manifesting soon... I told you this story not to scare you, but not to end up like the ole wizard. These powers came to you because of your fine heart and in all you do, please don’t lose it!" Hadizah advised Laura calmly, as she had a smile on her face.

Laura turned to Mrs Spencer with a confused and worried facial expression, as just one word could come out of her mouth.

"Mrs Spencer, why me?" Laura asked.

"Because you have a rare soul and you help people and with you seek to achieve nothing back for yourself... The spirits have chosen you, be wise to do according to their wish and never let your wishes come first in all you do!" Mrs Spencer uttered to her in an advising manner.

Laura got back out of her thoughts, as she stood up out of her bed to sit in front of the mirror in her room.

"Why me, why did the spirit choose a small girl without any experience in life, for this great task and with such powers?" Laura asked herself, as she looked worried and unrest.

’I think going back to Mrs Spencer to take me to see those people that gave her the stone of light would be the best thing to do... I believe they will have some explanation for me; on how I should do things more!’ She thought to herself with a bit of a settled look on her face.

Laura returned to the bed, as she seeks to get sleep and in about ten minutes, she fell asleep and it was a deep one...

***

Maria jolted upright in bed, her breath ragged and eyes wide with terror. Sweat clung to her forehead, and her hands clutched the bedsheet tightly against her chest. Her heart thudded so violently it felt like it might rip through her ribs.

"Let me go! I have a good heart and soul. I can’t work in your line—and the cruelty that you possess is not for me!" she had screamed, her voice echoing through the quiet mansion, piercing the walls like an alarm bell.

The door to her room flew open seconds later. A maid rushed in first, her face flushed with concern, followed closely by Mr. Frederick, who was already halfway down the hall when he heard the cry.

His eyes scanned the room rapidly before locking onto Maria, still trembling on the bed.

"Ma’am!" the maid exclaimed. "Are you alright?"

Mr. Frederick moved closer, his tone calm but firm. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Maria struggled to catch her breath, blinking back the remains of the nightmare. She looked at both of them, clearly still trying to shake herself free from the emotional grip of the dream.

"I’m fine..." she whispered, though her voice was hoarse. "It was just a dream, a very horrible one at that!"
