A red rosebud signifies beauty and purity. A thornless red rose means love at first sight. In this world, thousands of flowers have symbolized spiritually or anything that is connected to the elemental magic. Because in this world, every flower petal is important. Every budding flower is a new hope. I hope that will help to build a better world, a world away from the chaos. I just smiled at him and a few moments later Ryuu took my hand and brought me in front of the princess floating in the air. I don't know her name yet but I know it's beautiful just like her. "It's an honor that you gave us the substance right away without asking anything." I bowed to him and Ryuu did the same. "I know your mother and father. They're warm and kind hearted creatures in Daciantha and Hierantha. But who will stand by the two loves even if hundreds of people stand in the way?" I still didn't move and I just stayed where I was standing while waiting for the next words he would release. He gave me a glance before giving me something wrapped in a rose flower leaf. "Open it and see it yourself," she said and quickly disappeared into the air. "Thank you so much, Harper," I whispered into the air. Harper is her name. Because I remembered the story my mother told me. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Goddess of the Moon gave birth to the King of the wolves back then. They said they tried to hide it so I won't be surprised why he wanted to get away from his home. Because if I were her, I would also want to get away from this messy and complicated world. I was about to speak when the gentle breeze suddenly took us out of that hidden gazebo, and Ryuu now hid the red rose in the pocket of his clothing. A blinding light caused me to block my hand so as not to be blinded. What the hell is happening? "Ryuu. Don't let go!" We just found that we had sunk to the ground and rose together to my four Mothers, Prioz, Goddess Kunal and her companions who now had confused eyes on us. I heard a soft laugh from him before he pulled me up. "It was almost... But it's fine, I already found someone I wanted to protect and I'm willing to take risk," he whispered gently. "Who?" "Obviously, it's you..." He said then took my hand to kiss. I looked away from him when I noticed the way my four Mothers were staring, especially Prioz, who was serious and raised his eyebrows. It slowly approached me. I used to feel happy whenever I was with him, but this time. I feel strange. I could feel my system being revived by another blood, his presence that set me free. His smell. Is this a mate link? But Ryuu said, he's a neglected mate? How did he become my mate if I myself did not know that he was my match? I looked at Ryuu who's now silently watching me from afar with his friends, meanwhile Goddess Kunal is silently playing her bamboo flute on the branch of the tree. "You're in hindrance, aren't you?" I looked at Prioz when he suddenly spoke next to me. I just smiled at him but we immediately stopped when we noticed thehundreds of arrows with fire at the end net. It was heading in our direction. My four Mothers immediately made a big barrier and the shield made by Goddess Kunal strengthened it even more and now the Nirvana Pack was in wolf form and howled at the sky full of burning arrows. "What the heck is happening? Protect Falandra, Dandeliana!" shouted Mother Sapphixa at the same time as she raised her moonlight staff in the air and the element of water came out from there which strengthened the shield and barrier to us. I stared deeply at the sky, and focused where the arrows came from. If you pay close attention, it's from the other mountains. The empire where there were witches and werewolves who were biased in beliefs but believed more in prophecy. "Lower your water, Sapphixa. It can form a tsunami," warned Mother Xazhira, who immediately made a fire arrow in the water. "Dandeliana, the wind. Focus on the wind, let's combine fire and wind. I will use your wind to return what they gave us. Fire to fire," Mother Xazhira quickly said which Mother Dandeliana did immediately. A few moments later it formed a new hole above the shield, a small hole from which arrows came out that seemed to be from our enemy. A few moments later, the enemy's arrow was consumed and the only thing left in the sky was black smoke, a sign of the disappearance of the deadly arrow tipped with fire. "It seems that the witches and the high councils are really challenging you. I can't send you to another council that is blind now because of the bitter past," Mother Cassandra began, which was the reason why the others left one after another. Ryuu's teammate with him. He gave me signs to follow him so I just nodded to him. I made a forced nod. "I still don't understand. In what way. . . That I am the son of one who betrayed their race? Wasn't it me and my blood that was mentioned in the prophecy?" I asked the four of them which was the reason for Mother Cassandra to let go of her staff and immediately come to me quickly. "How did you know! Who did you know from?" he shouted and the vein almost popped out of his neck while holding my right hand and looking at me intently. "You were born because of a black magic. A forbidden spell..." Mother Cassandra stated that she was the reason for the three to become even more angry with her. Mother Cassandra just shut them up and continued speaking. " It's time for her to know the truth. Her true identity." She sighed heavily and started to mumble those words. "Forbidden Magic is a type of magic that, as the name implies, has been banned from use since the declarations of chaos and rivalry. On the day of the alchemy of souls, it was decided that all magic that is drawn on the human body or affects the human body, with the exception of the Memory-wiping spell, would be outlawed. Spells that greatly affects the environment are also considered to be forbidden. But your mother breaks the rules, she falls in love with her rival. An Alpha king, her enemy." I couldn't listen anymore because of Ryuu calling my name one after another. Mothni Cassandra also stopped speaking and raised her eyebrows for a moment. "I never knew that this Alpha was rude." I heard her complaining while walking back to my three mothers, and I just heard some mumbles of words from them. Before I could even speak, I immediately felt Ryuu's presence rushing to me. The scent of him combined in the air sending shivers down my spine. He smells like a menthol with a little bit of vanilla. What the heck are you thinking, Fala? "I told you to follow me. So, why didn't you follow what I have said?" He asked when we stopped under the small tree. He raised the root of that small tree for a moment and made a strange shape. After a few moments he pulled me again, but this time he sat me on the root. "You're just nothing but an Alpha, right?" I teased him. His face right now was red. Maybe because he was angry when I said that, I immediately laughed at his reaction. "And you're my Luna. I'll make you Luna no matter what. After this war, you'll be mine. I will never let you end up with that stinking dog, do you understand?" He said confidently and shifted his gaze on Ryuu, who's now slowly loving the Nirvana Pack. I can hear his unfamiliar laughter so I just smile in the absence. "You're smiling because of him. Why? Why when it comes to me, you can't give me such a beautiful smile. I just want to know why? Why don't you want to be Luna?" He whispered in my bare ear, and I didn't know what to say to him. Every time he uttered those words, it was as if something blocked my throat. It was as if hundreds of knives had been stabbed. "I'm just here to help you, to find your antidote, right? I'm not here to be your Luna. You're destined to be someone's Alpha. That mate link you feel? Maybe we're just being played with. And even you're still neglected mate. I'm pretty sure that the moon goddess gave you one. Just wait for her," I said to him and he was too stunned to speak. He could not speak and just froze in his seat. "I'm sorry, but I'm leaving for now. Just call me again if you need me..." I said almost losing my voice. I didn't wait for what he had to say and quickly left him and immediately went to my four Mothers. But I immediately looked for Prioz's presence but I couldn't touch it, my Mothers immediately noticed it and immediately approached me. The moment they walked upon the autumn dry leaves, the wind was slowly whispering in my bare ear. My sense of smell knows very well if there is a mixed presence in the air. If the witch can fly in the wind, but me—the winds serve me. It tells us if there is someone else we meet who is hiding in the shadows. "Prioz don't have enough time to say goodbye to you. Calista needs him now. I hope you understand that," they said without thinking what I felt, after they said those words. I just found myself kneeling in the middle of nowhere. I can feel the tension, anger, and disappointment in my self. Little by little I feel the destruction of the wall I built on myself. I'm a goddess, the goddess of the roses. Why did he choose to go to that girl? What is that and why did they leave me! A few moments later, I felt the brief mixing of the four elements in the air. Without knowing what is there. I slowly stand up and give myself a chance to glance at the sky. I didn't notice that I was in tears the moment I lookedin the sky, my four mother was now creating a damn portal, a portal back to their real world. Maybe they are terrified that Calista is now in danger. I can't help but feel weak and hate myself. Does she have a mate, right? Why Prioz? Why does he need my mother? I'm their own daughter too, but why do they love Calista more? Why did they leave me with only new acquaintances? "Mothers! Please come back." I almost whispered in the wind. I don't know why I was completely hurt when the magical portal they created closed completely. "You didn't even look at me for the last moment. I don't know if I can't understand you this time..." I whispered in awe. I didn't even feel that Goddess Kunal and Jackson quickly came to my side and now looked at me with pity in their eyes. "Don't glare at me like that. Don't make me face the truth. I have long accepted that they will prioritize that girl over me, even Prioz. I know he will do the same. Leaving without saying any goodbye, was the worst goodbye that I have ever heard." I laughed. It was a fake laugh, indeed. They immediately sided with me after I said that. Blair, Samiel, and Fallon are also restraining themselves from speaking but it can be seen in their eyes that they want to tell me something. "The audacity of telling in front of me that I need to understand Prioz that Calista needs them! But how about me? How about me? I need them to!" I almost lost my anger and just pulled myself together. But the moment I pointed my finger in the air, thousands of daggers formed because of my smoke. Because I was so angry, hundreds of daggers came out of my palm as I raised my face to the sky. I was screaming without voice, crying without tears but inside I was very angry with them. But all of that was quickly consumed when I felt a light hand grab me, stopping me. I smell his scent, and I immediately calmed down. After what I did to him, after I rejected him earlier. He still cares for me. Why? "Hush. Calm down. I'm still here—we are. We can find a way. I feel they're coming back, so trust me. For now, calm down yourself. I'm just here for you, okay?" He said and immediately hugged me in his arms. He kept repeating kissing my forehead, like telling me that he's here for me. My hand was on his shoulder, while he stroked my back. He calmed me down. But what I expected was over I immediately felt his hand on my face gently wiping my tears. "As long as I am breathing, you'll never cry again." He cupped my chin and planted kisses on my cheeks. I cried even more because of what he did. He didn't even feel shy that Goddess Kunal and her pack were in front of us. And I was expecting my losing heart to settle when he put out his palms, and from there was a fragrant and bright red rose. "A roses full of thorns for the Goddess of the roses. You're my roses, but I'll never be your thorn."
