Chapter 16: The Revelation

Book:The Cursed Lycan's Rejected Luna Published:2024-11-1

Kate’s POV
I stood there looking at the Old lady in front of me.
She looks 30 years old but the gray hair on her head shows she is old as all her hairs has turned gray.
I am reading, I finally said.
She looked to the book in my hand, as I was trying to hide it.
I don’t want anyone to find out I have been given a third chance to live as I don’t know how to explain it.
No one would even believe me, I ever said it.
It was too late for me to hide.
As she read the title of the Book out loud.
“The Third Chance Luna”
She looked at the other two books on the table.
Looked to my face.
Why are reading this book, Omega.
Nothing, I said.
I don’t think anyone has ever strode into a library to read a book just for nothing.
Not once since over my Hundred years as a Librarian, She said.
She looked at my face as I tried to hide my face.
Then she gasp suddenly, you’ve been given a third chance.
She held me on my shoulder, and got interested in me.
So what have you found, she asked.
She held my hand while we walk to the other side of the table.
As we are about to sit, there is a soft growling in my stomach, and I remembered I haven’t ate anything.
Get yourself a food and come back, she said as she also heard the growling.
Okay, I said
I rushed to the kitchen to find some food and luckily for me there are still some leftovers remaining.
I grabbed some in a plate, and ate it.
I rushed back to the Library after I finished eating.
I saw her siting quietly where I had left her, holding the book in her hands and reading it.
As I moved close to her, she raised up her head to face me.
Sit, she said and look back to the book.
I sat down waiting for to raise up her head again.
After I have sitted for few minutes.
She raised up her head, looked into my eyes as if it’s looking for answers.
So what have you learnt so far, she finally said.
I cleared my throat and narrated everything I’ve read so far
How Luna Amora had written down her life journey in her first life down to her third life, how she was tortured as an orphan.
She had been killed alongside her parents the Alpha and Luna of Dawnrunner Pack in a Territorial battle against a rival pack, the Nightshade Clan that happened over Twenty Thousand years ago.
But she was giving a Second Chance by the Moon goddess but then the Nightshade Clan had already seized thier pack, she returned to the pack as an orphan and unfortunately for her she was recognised by the Alpha of Nightshade Clan who ordered for her immediate arrest and was thrown in the dungeon where she was tortured for several months before she died again.
She was then given yet another chance, this time around she didn’t return back to her pack.
She went into hiding where she train herself to become more stronger wolf.
She was also opportuned to meet her Fated mate who is a strong Lycan King Radon of the Thunderfang pack.
I paused.
That is what I have read so far, I said.
So what did you learnt, she asked.
So far I learnt that Luna Amora was killed in her second chance life because she wasn’t prepared to tackle her enemies but when she was given a third chance to live, she went to train herself to become stronger.
I said and pause waiting for her response.
She then asked me to narrate to her how I died the first and second time in my past life.
I narrated to her how I was traded away to the Lycan King Dimitri for the alliance during the Bonding ceremony, how I had resisted to submit to the Lycan King and the torture I went through in his cell and then how one of his female entourage had slit my throat inside the sell.
I paused and then continued.
I narrated how was given a second chance and then begged Kayden to claim me as his mate before the mating ceremony, which he did. But he had ulterior motives to use me to make Celine jealous and how he had maltreated me behind closed doors and treated me well publicly before I tried to escape and then captured and get killed by Kayden.
And then how I woke up this morning again in my small room all well and good.
Do I want to make sure I didn’t misuse the opportunity given to me by the Moon goddess.
As I have never heard of anyone who was given a third chance until I stumbled on this book, I said.
You didn’t stumble on it, you searched for it, she corrected.
The story of Luna Amora has been stacked away for centuries now, and only those that search for it get to find it, she said.
Just like you said, you’ve never heard of anyone given a third chance except for Luna Amora, yes it’s true because since over twenty thousand years ago after Luna Amora there hasn’t been anyone given such chances, she continued.
So for you not to misuse this great opportunity given to you, you have to recall everything that had lead to your death in your past lifes. There must be an hint on what you should do and what you must avoid doing in this your third chance life.
You must train yourself, and become stronger.
You must find your wolf.
That is the only way you can make sure you didn’t disappoint the Moon goddess for giving you this chances, she said.
But why can’t I transform, I asked.
Your wolf is weak she said.
Is it because my mother was a human? I asked.
No, she said.
Either you are an half breed or full blooded, you should be able to transform, though your wolf can be weak, she said.
She then continued, you can also be wolfless that is if the wolf gene skipped you.
But it didn’t, I transformed for a few seconds on my eighteen birth into a weak wolf and since then I had not transform, I said.
And sometimes I could feel my wolf speaking to me, I added.
Then something must be wrong, she said.
Try to remember what had happened to you some days to your eighteen birthday, she said.
I sat down quitely and try to remember what has happened to me seven years ago,
All the cruelty I had suffered in the hands of Celine and her Mother.
How my Step Mom had treated me with terror and hatred,
Even though she was the one that raised me up since I was little since my mother had died when giving birth to me.
I remembered how she had always force me to drink a juice which will make me weak every morning three days to my birthday.
I then told the old lady in front of me about it.
I described how I used to feel after drinking the juice, how I would feel nauseous and weak
Wolfsbane, she gasped.
Tears roll down my face as all the horrible memories came rushing back as though they happened yesterday.
That is why your wolf was so weak that day, she said.
But the effect would have wear off since then, there must be another thing that is suppressing your wolf.
She looked at me, then pointed at my necklace.
Who gave you this, she asked .
Oh Miss Alice gave it to me the night after I turned eighteen.
It’s the only thing, my mother had left for me and she said my mother had instructed her to only give it to me on my eighteen birthday.
I brought out the pendant, caressing it with a smile on my lips.
As I used the pendant as a form of comfort and as a means to feel closer to my mother.
Suddenly she grabbed the necklace and pulled it of my neck.
Iron, oh my goodness, she exclaimed.
This is no gift from your mother as none of us ever met your mother, we only get to see you after your father brought you into the pack.
He had impregnated your mother while he was away, and didn’t bring your mother to the pack, he brought you here after your mother had passed away.
I was shocked with this revelation, that I had been lied to all this while.
The necklace I had been cherishing as a gift from my mother has been the one suppressing my power and my ability to transform.
She stood up, and ordered me to follow her,
I stood up and followed her closely.
We strode to the other side of the library to the section of Herbs and Medicine book.
She grabbed two books off the shelf and handed them over to me.
We strode back to where we were sitting.
Open it, she said.
I flipped one of the book open, and she pointed out the herbs that can help me regain my strength and transformation ability.
Now these are what you will do,
Just like I said earlier,
Go and think about what had lead to your death in your past lifes,
Look for an hint on what you should do and what you shouldn’t.
Study this books, I gave you
And start training.
Can I keep this books too, I pointed to the Luna Amora book and the other two I had picked for myself earlier.
She took the book and flipped through them, then handed them over to me.
You didn’t tell me your name ma, I said
I am Madam Elena and I am the pack Librarian, she replied.
