Chapter 268: The strange vision...
Selene POV
For someone who has not slept for the better part of this week, I was wide awake until it was dawn.
I hadn’t slept a wink. I spent the night, tossing and turning, my mind racing with too many questions and no answer. By the time it was dawn, I felt restless. I had sat at my window facing the east of the Moon Whisper pack land until the sun came up. I couldn’t think... I was too numb to process anything. I couldn’t feel either. For the first time, there were no answers to all of my questions.
Pushing myself away from the window, I decide to go for a walk. The pack house was still quiet, the usual hustle and bustle were yet to begin. Except for a few omegas going to the duty posts still looking sleepy-eyed. I needed fresh air, a moment to clear my head, to escape my mind working on an overdrive.
I dressed quickly in warm clothes and slipped out of the pack house before anyone noticed.
The morning air was crisp and the sky was still a soft blend of pink and orange... it was a brief moment of peace before the activities of the day would start. I strolled through the pack lands, loving how quiet it was before the chaos. I met a few soldiers returning to their houses after their night shifts or going to replace the other soldiers who had been there all night.
I continued aimlessly. There must be something that I was missing... a puzzle... more like.
My feet carried me along the familiar paths of Moon Whisper. I passed through a small, quaint forest, mostly used for farming rare fruits and herbs. It was owned by the Pack Healers community and eventually found myself at the children’s park.
It was deserted, as I had expected this early, with only the faint chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves to keep me company. I spotted a bench under the shade of a large oak tree, its wooden surface looked shiny and new and it was facing a small lake.
