Chapter 199
Silver’s POV
“How is this possible p>
She smiled at me.
“Well, we were sent to the Moon Goddess world when we died,” she explained. “I was only an infant. In this world, things are different. We can never die because we are already dead, but we can age if we want to. There are tons of places to go and things to explore. The Moon Goddess had taken such good care of us. When I was young, I found out how I died and what had happened. I will admit, I was upset at first. I was hurt that my life was taken from me so soon only to protect you,” she told me, staring at the ground. Tears filled my eyes, and I felt for her; I didn’t think about how she would feel upon finding out that she was sacrificed to protect me.
“I’m so sorry I whispered.
“After they told me the truth about my death and explained who you were and why you were so important, they let me look into the living world so I could see you for myself. That’s how I saw the way you were living. I saw my real father and how cruel he was to you. I saw my sister and I couldn’t believe I came from the same people.” She shuddered as those words left her lips. “It’s been terrible for you p>
I nodded and bit my lower lip, not sure what to say.
“I was grateful because I got to grow up in such a beautiful place with parents who took care of me in the afterlife. They might have taken my life in exchange for yours, but they’ve made up for it every single day. They’ve loved me and cared for me like I was their own and we got close to the Moon Goddess as well who took care of us all,” she continued. “Yes, I wish things could have been different and wish I could have had a chance at life… but I’m so glad that you got to live, and you protected the world from your evil brother.” “Is the world safe now though?” I asked, looking at the Moon Goddess. “I didn’t really do anything besides kill him p>
“When you killed him, it put a stop to his magic,” the Goddess explained. “A lot of lives have been lost, and a lot injured. But all their scents are back to normal, and they are no longer going mad. The injured are being healed at the hospital and the dead have been taken care of. Most of the rogues fighting in the battle have died, some have gotten away though p>
“What about Shirley?” I asked, touching my chest where I felt her shooting me. “She shot me p>
“Oh, my Goddess. I wish you saw it,” the girl said, laughing. “Elliot’s sister was badass p>
“Charlotte?” Elliot asked, his brows furrowed. “What did she do p>
“She grabbed the dagger and threw it at Shirley the second she pulled the trigger. She tried to save Silver, but it was too late p>
“My sister killed her?” Elliot asked, sounding impressed.
“She sure did,” the girl said.
“I had no idea she had that in her,” I breathed.
“Neither did I,” Elliot agreed.
I turned back to the girl.
“What is your name, by the way?” I asked her.
“Lucy,” she told me.
“It was supposed to be your name,” my mother explained.
I smiled and hugged my mother again.
“It’s a beautiful name,” I told her. “I’m so glad you three are here… you feel more like my family than my actual family p>
“That’s because we are your family,” my father told me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “And we are so proud of you p>
I nodded and turned back to the
Moon Goddess, tears still in my eyes. Elliot wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, my wolf sat at my feet, her head arched as she looked at the Goddess as if to ask what we were supposed to do now.
“So, what now?” I asked. “Do we just live here now p>
She smiled and stepped towards us.
“I wanted you to meet your family,” she told me. “But you don’t have to stay here. I want to give you a choice… both of you p>
I looked at Elliot and his eyes remained fixated on the Goddess.
“What kind of choice?” I asked her after a pause.
She looked between the two of us.
“You’ve sacrificed so much to protect one another. You are both my child, and you saved my world,” she explained. “I wanted to give you the gift of choice. Neither of you is completely dead… I will admit, for Elliot, it isn’t looking good. He’s more gone than you are Silver. You are a very powerful being… your heart still beats, and your body still draws breath. That’s more than could say for Elliot. The dagger used on him was incredibly powerful. However, your blood can heal him and make his heartbeat again. As of now, they have given up on him and a funeral is being organized. You are currently in the hospital undoing surgery to get the bullet out of your chest. Your souls are detached, but your bodies are not gone. You could return to them p>
My heart dropped at the sound of Elliot being dead… he was truly gone. They were planning a funeral. My legs crumbled and Elliot had to hold
me up before I fell to the en
ground.
