Promised To The Alpha Twins – Chapter 98

“You understand that I would follow your path no matter where you go, Helena.” Bruce nodded in approval, allowing her to take the initiative. “The night before David Zoe’s arrival in the city, Helena woke me up in the middle of the night, screaming. Her cheeks were soaked with tears, and her heart was beating so fast that it scared me. She was sobbing, talking about a fierce battle. I held her by the shoulders and called her name loudly. I continued shouting until my voice became hoarse. Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up in a jump.” Helena trembled slightly. “She told me, ‘When you cross paths with the girl, you’ll recognize her, help her. Give her what she needs, and the world will flourish.’”

“Will you really know?” I laughed ironically, shifting my gaze to a golden mirror hanging on the wall behind me. I shook my head, rejecting the idea that something a child had mentioned years ago could be related to me. Honestly, I wished with all my might that I wasn’t the girl they were talking about, but I couldn’t even tell such a big lie. I’ve always known that as soon as the High Table found out about me, war could break out. I assumed I would fight alongside my comrades, face life or death by their side. This little revelation only confirmed what we all had in mind, but it was the only fragment of truth I could bear at that moment.

“Having a grand destiny is not something one desires. They’re challenging, painful, and often intricate. And they rarely unfold as we expect.” Bruce shared with me, with a firm and resolute voice. He wasn’t the kind of person to evade his problems; he faced the pain and moved forward. “Lives are always lost when change comes to the world. It’s horrendous and bloody, a loss of life, but it’s an undeniable reality. Those who bring about change will always encounter resistance. The question is, do you consider this cause worth it, Sussan?” I didn’t need time to reflect before finding my answer. It had been there all along, something I knew but wasn’t willing to admit.

The white wolves will reclaim their place in the world, and we will allow them to live according to their desires.” I expressed to both Bruce and Helena, gathering much more confidence than I actually felt. “Those willing to change and adapt can maintain their position at the High Table, but those who try to plunge us deeper into darkness won’t survive in

The last thing I wanted to do was crush any hope Aly might have with Nicolas. No matter what she felt for him, she didn’t deserve that.
