Mr Alpha, I Am Not Your Typical Lady!-Chapter 129) Haunting memories from the past, part 2.

I pushed the large doors open, and a terrifying scene welcomed me.

The moon that was supposed to be bright and white had changed to red. Not only that, I witnessed the way my subjects and the warriors were brutally killed by a figure that was emanating an insane dark energy and dark aura.

And most of our warriors were Lycans.

The figure was a shadowed body. It didn’t have a physical body, but its body structure was like that of a muscular man.

It was very evil and killed without mercy.

"What is happening!". I screamed. My hands were shaking.

I couldn’t withstand the sight of bodies dropping dead on the ground like flies. Even their blood stained the ground.

Their agonizing scream was enough to send chills down my spine. I was very confused and lost. I didn’t have a single clue what was happening.

My loud voice had attracted the shadowed figure who turned in my direction. In its hand was the dark liquid crystal. I recognized the dark liquid crystal because of its dark purple color.

My eyes widened when the figure dashed towards me, reaching its hand towards me as it tried to grab my neck.

My father came in time and slashed the figure’s hand and it backed away. But its hand regrew, shocking me.

My two elder brothers, our elder sister, and our mom came to where I was.

"What is wrong with you, Nikolai? I told you to stay hidden!". My father scolded me as he grabbed my shoulders.

His eyes were red in fury, as he was angry that I had disobeyed him. He added, "I am aware that the dark liquid crystal had predicted that you would survive after the wish I made, but I told you not to come out. I told you to remain hidden! You could have remained hidden until everything was over! You are our only hope!".

"Don’t get too angry at our son, Maverick". My mother, Emily, said to my father, and he ruffled his hair in frustration after he let go of my shoulders.

"Return inside the mansion, Nikolai. It’s an order!". My father ordered me. He then turned to face the shadowed figure who was ready to attack again.

"But- but-".

"Listen to our father, Nikolai. Go inside!". My sister, Jasmine, roared at me.

For the first time ever, I feared her. Jasmine, who had always been calm and gentle, shouted at me combined with a deadly gaze that was somehow and strangely filled with fear.

My legs gave up, and I fell on the ground. I couldn’t stand up, so my twin brothers, Jason and Jared, carried me inside the mansion and left me on the ground, before they hurried outside and shut the door.

I was close to the entrance door, so I stubbornly crawled over there and opened the door a little bit. It was enough for me to see what was going on outside.

"You have already succeeded in getting what you wanted despite our efforts to stop you. Why can’t you leave my pack and stop killing my people?!". My father quarreled with the shadowed figure. I could see the veins in his neck popping out.

"Hahaha! Are you scared of me, Lycan King? Is that fear I see in your eyes?!". The figure said to my father, prompting my father to shift into his Lycan form.

Not only my father. But my mother, Emily, and my sister, Jasmine, including my twin brothers, Jason and Jared, shifted into their Lycan forms.

It was a fierce battle and my family was losing. When I realized that the figure would kill my family, I forced myself up and ran out of the mansion after kicking the doors open.

"Stay back!!!". My family yelled at me, and after they saw that I wasn’t ready to stay back, they did what I never expected. They sacrificed their lives on the spot and passed on their powers to my father, who launched a single attack on the shadowed figure and struck it, causing it and the dark liquid crystal to vanish.

Unfortunately, my father died on the spot.

I lost all my family in a flash, and all I did was kneel in front of their lifeless bodies and keep on muttering to myself like a mindless zombie, "This must be a dream. This isn’t real. Everything is going to be alright. They are not dead. They are simply asleep and will wake up soon".

Gabriel, who survived, came to me and tried to make me return inside because I had been kneeling for hours and refused to stand up.

How could I bear to stand up when I was confused about everything? My family disappeared in my eyes and I couldn’t do anything about it.

I vowed to go after the shadowed figure after I let anger take control of me. But Gabriel stopped me. I threatened to kill Gabriel if he didn’t move out of my way, but he suddenly knelt in front of me and announced, "Please don’t go, Nikolai! Your father said that I should watch over you for him because he knew that I was going to survive!".

He begged me, making me more confused. That was when he had no other choice but to explain everything to me.

The dark liquid crystal wasn’t found recently by our pack. It had been with us for as long as one could count.

As a price of being one of the most powerful species in the world, we Lycans were cursed by nature.

The dark liquid crystal was found the very day we became Lycans, and has ever since then been safeguarded by the most powerful Lycan, because the dark liquid crystal was connected to us Lycans’ life force. If the dark liquid crystal falls into the wrong hand, our lives will be at risk.

The most powerful Lycan passed down the dark liquid crystal to his offspring. And his offspring had passed on the task of safeguarding the dark liquid crystal to their own offspring. And that continued for thousands of years, until it was my father’s turn to safeguard the dark liquid crystal.
