'You can't go inside in this indecent clothing."

The guard at the temple warned for the third time. Dressed only in shorts, Gamma Mathew knelt before him.


'Please convey my message to the head Priest. It's about my mate."

Reluctantly, the guard walked inside and came back briefly.

'The head Priest is calling you inside!"


Mathew sighed in relief and stepped forward, the worry fastened his footsteps.

'I saw a dream about my mate, Priest. I, I am scared."


Mathew spoke out his heart as soon as he caught up a glimpse of Priest Flora.

'You stated your concerns without any greetings. It seems that your situation is worse than expected. Is Jason fine?"

Mathew's face burnt red with embarrassment, he clasped his hands and bowed in respect.

'Jason is fine. I am here to ask you a favor. Please interpret the dream I just saw."

Priest Flora's nod allowed him to go on.

'In the dream, Jason and I were happy, running after each other in a forest. We spent a quality time together, and then Jason bared his fangs, I braced myself for the most anticipated moment of my life."

Suddenly, Mathew's heart rate hitched, he rubbed his fingers over his temple.

'But then I died. He drained me to death."

With his eyes widened in horror, his raised his head.

'The venom of a sired vampire is not strong enough to kill a werewolf, and I have read that mate's blood will never dry for a vampire.

What about this Priest Flora? Please guide me."

Priest Flora's grave silence and troubled expressions on her gentle countenance were alarming.

She brought out a book and dipped the black quill in ink.

'Your date of birth, Mathew?"

'16th May"

'Day?"

'Tuesday"

'Time?"

'6:45 am"

Although Mathew's mind was inadequate to join the connection of his dream and this investigation, but he kept his mouth shut.

Priest Flora might look like a careless teenager, but her real age was a mystery. She was in the Silver Moon Pack for over a century, blessing the heart of the inhabitants.

Lines on her forehead deepened with the movement of that quill. She contemplated for a while before speaking up.

'This dream is not your future but the past, Gamma Mathew."

Priest Flora stopped for a while to assess his expressions.

'It's my first time meeting my mate, we don't have any history together."

'Do you believe in reincarnations, Gamma?"

Mathew was taken aback by this unexpected question.

'Some days ago, I didn't believe in pairing between a sired vampire and a werewolf, but nature has changed my perspective whether have I have faith in it or not.

Please, tell me that what is the meaning of this dream."

Priest Flora closed the book and took him to the prayer room.

'The bonds between the souls are really strong, Gamma. Sometimes, death cannot separate the true lovers, they come back to life over and over again just to satisfy the yearning of their hearts.

This is also the case between you and Jason. You both were the lovers in the forbidden times, longing for each other's company.

But Jason's forced transformation changed your destiny, and he killed you under the haze of his master's venom.

You were his first kill, Gamma. Your this lifetime is the grace of the Moon Goddess to complete what was left incomplete."

Mathew's teeny tiny warrior brain was taking it longer than usual to process this series of information, several questions marks popped up around his head.

'Was I a werewolf before?"

Respecting Priest Flora's status, he decided to ask one question at a time.

'No, you were a human like Jason."

'What are the forbidden times?"

'When love between the two boys was prohibited."

'It's still like this, my Dad is against our pairing."

Matthew chuckled, as his heart was at ease now.

'Although, I don't know the complexity of the reincarnation and stuff, but I do know that I have a wonderful plan to use it properly."

He bowed his head again and thanked the Priest, who smiled at Mathew's desperation.

'Love and affection are stronger and wider than the people's narrow minds. Celebrate your union with Jason, that's what the Moon Goddess wants.

And next time, wear something before coming to the temple. It's true that there is nothing hidden from the Heaven, but still, we should follow some rules to visit the most superior beings."

Mathew found himself dying with shame and chickened out after apologizing, his heart was dancing in his chest to execute his master plan.

…

'What is this?"

Opening the envelope with the official stamp of the Silver Moon Pack, Jason knitted his brow.

'This is a legal notice, Jason. You have to compensate me for my loss."

'What are you trying to implore here?"

Irked by Mathew's mysterious tone, Jason read the paper carefully.

'You, this, I."

He stammered to ask him a question as the wave of a sudden shock was rendering him breathless.

'This must be a joke, there is no such thing like re-birth."

Jason threw the paper and curled back in his bed.

'I got it signed by the head Priest. She is almost of the same age as you. You can't deny her statement."

Folding the legal notice carefully, Mathew's challenging voice boomed in the attic.

'I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Utterly defeated, Jason hid his face behind the pillow and sobbed piteously.

'What do you want in return, Mathew? I don't have anything expensive to pay you back."

Mathew removed the pillow from Jason's face, and raised his head by his thumb under his chin.

'You are going to repay me with your life."

He leaned in, his golden eyes fixed at him dangerously.

'You want to kill me?"

'No, I will keep you as my slave for sixty years, the normal age of a human being."

Jason gulped hard as Mathew's knuckles brushed against his cheek softly.

'I am already having so many ideas to make you scream, Jay. Be prepared."

Mathew laughed and turned to leave.

'Pack up your bags, you are going to live with your new master now."

His commanding tone sent shivers down Jason's spine, he clamped his mouth against an involuntary shriek.

'After years of torment, I was finally free to live my life. Now, a new era of torture is waiting for me. What have I done to enrage the Heaven?"

Grabbing his head in his hands, Jason cried in disbelief.

…

'Sire!"

In the gloominess of Eric made prison, Charlotte finally saw the familiar face of Liam after three days.

Her chained wrist saddened him, sympathy oozed out of his tone.

'Eric is so careless about you, I will confront him for his action."

Charlotte's lips curled up in a smile, Liam's care never failed to livened her mood.

'I have made peace with this restrain. At least, this chain is not of silver."

Liam shrugged at the mere thought of silver torture,

'I am here to give you a breaking news."

Liam sat down before her, his protruding eyes filled with excitement.

'What?"

'Eric has ordered to gather everyone in the Pack's ground. Even officials from the far away towns in the Pack are also coming to attend this urgent meeting.

This all started after your kidnapping, Eric sent Noah to an unknown place, and he went without informing Angie. She is worried sick about him."

Charlotte closed her laptop and raised her brows.

'What's so special that Eric is using precautionary measures? What's he up to now?"
