Chapter 121: Silver Wolf

Astrid’s POV

“Stop blaming yourself for it,” Nova suddenly spoke beside me, breaking me from my thoughts. “It wasn’t your fault. She was the one who approached us and said those mean things first. She was clearly asking for a fight.”

I turned my gaze back to the view outside the window when I finally realized what she was talking about.

“I’m sure she did it on purpose. She deliberately provoked you to make you lose control. It was obvious that she was trying to make you look like a bad person in front of your father. In the end, her plan backfired,” Nova continued talking.

I sighed and lowered my gaze to my fingers. “It’s normal for her to feel that I’m a threat, Nova. As someone who grew up without a father, I will never know how it feels like to grow up with one.

Asha had experienced that, and now she’s feeling that her father is slowly slipping away because of me. It’s normal for her to do such things. I only wish that her fear won’t become true.”

Nova momentarily stopped what she was doing as she faced me. What a kind and understanding sister you are,” she mocked me, making me smile.

”

“I wondered what she’s doing right now. Asha is used to always burying herself in her work. She must be dying of boredom right now,” I muttered with genuine concern. “Should we pay her a visit?”

“Do you want to make her hate you more?” Nova retorted. “Didn’t you see how she got mad when you tried to help her?”

“Still, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have survived. I still owe her my life for taking care of me when I was fighting for my life,” I muttered

a soft reply.

“If it wasn’t for your father’s orders, Asha wouldn’t have done that. You don’t know how much she argued against saving your life. Maybe if she had known that you were her half–sister, she would have thrown the Lunar Elixir away.”

I didn’t give her an answer; I continued to stare out the window.

“Is there something else that is bothering you?” Nova suddenly asked.

I sighed. There was really something else that was bothering me. I had only thought about what happened to Asha earlier when Nova brought it up.

“I just couldn’t remember what happened. I don’t know how I ended up hurting Asha. She’s a very powerful werewolf compared to me. She could easily kill me even when we are both in human form,” I finally voiced out my concerns. “Tell me, Nova, what did I look like when I suddenly attacked Asha?” –

Nova pressed her brows together as she thought about it. “Your eyes are gold, and they were glowing,”

Upon the mention of the word gold, I suddenly remembered the

majestic silver wolf that I saw when I lost control of my body. That wolf had a glowing golden iris, too.

“What else?” I asked Nova.

“I couldn’t describe it, but it was like you are possessed by an evil spirit,” she answered unsurely.

I laughed at her description.

“I’m telling the truth, Astrid. There’s no way else to subscribe to it,” she added seriously.

The smile on my face faltered when I also remembered the strong desire that the silver wolf had to kill someone and shed blood. It’s true that if I was only a second late, then maybe Asha would be dead already.

“I don’t knowww,” Nova suddenly retracted her words. “I think most of it, Asha was just faking it. Your wolf is just an omega, and she is a pure–bred Alpha. She could easily push you off her to defend herself. I think she just allowed you to hurt her so she could show something to her father.”

I fell silent at her words. I don’t think that was true. I could still remember the betrayed look that Asha had in her eyes when her father chose to punish her without punishing me.

I could still remember the genuine pain in her eyes when her father was more concerned that she triggered my traumas than he was concerned with her real bleeding injuries.

I don’t think that she took those injuries for a purpose, just like what

Nova thought.

My brows furrowed more deeply when I realized something. If Nova could think this way, then it is also possible that Alpha Theron has the same thoughts as her.

Is that the reason why he easily lost his patience with her? He thought his daughter did everything on purpose to put me in a bad light, not knowing that Asha was just truly unable to protect herself from me because…

I shook my head at the thought.

Maybe that silver wolf is not real. Maybe I was just imagining things. Where would that wolf even come from?

It’s more possible that I imagined it than it was really inside my body.

“By the way, how is your wolf doing? Nova asked.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I tried to search for my wolf to connect with Lyra. After searching every corner of my consciousness, I still hadn’t found her.

“She’s still not here,” I answered her

Nova’s brows furrowed. She was as confused as I was. “But she just appeared earlier,” she replied.

“I don’t know,” I paused. “Maybe she got tired. She used a lot of energy earlier,” I lied, just so she wouldn’t have to worry.

Nova scowled. “This is Asha’s fault. If she hadn’t done that, we would be able to go home right now.”

I gave her a smile. Just like me, she also misses Drystan so much Don’t worry, Drystan promised he would be back after he’s done in the Pack.”
