Chapter 98: Amara

Amara's P.O.V
"You knew all this time and you hide it from us? Seriously Kariz what else are you hiding?" I couldn't believe it. He knew that the reason why we all suffered is still alive and yet he still hide the fact that he was alive.
Clint now step forward, he had a serious look on his face.
"You know that the book was at the Northern territory all this time right?" Kariz then nodded his head.
"So what's the point of looking for the other pack? If all this time you knew that the book was at the Crescent moon Pack?" Yustef uttered, feeling annoyed about the sudden revelation.
"I need to confirm something." He mumbled, and I think I know what he was talking about.
"There was another one right." This time he was his turned to look at me with wide eyes.
"You saw it?" Clint was now the one who answered for me.
"It almost killed me. No, it wanted to eat me." Clint said, remembering what happened.
"So I was right, Belerick really have another Lycan with him. But who was it?" A moment of silence from all of us. I couldn't still believe it myself.
"There is something I want to ask." I mumbled, breaking the silence.
"You said that only during the Full moon does a Lycan can take over without the knowledge of its host. But I was able to turn during the morning." They all look at me like I said something I shouldn't.
"You turned into a Lycan?" Noah uttered with disbelief. Then they all turned their heads to Galaz.
"You know about this and you didn't say anything?" Clint said, he was now angry.
"I told him not to say anything." I mumbled, Kariz was silence the whole time.
"You're Lycan is longing for its mate. That would only be the right explanation." Kariz said, but I don't believe it.
"What really happened to your mate?" I suddenly uttered, his eyes shifted reflecting a foreign emotions that I didn't know he had.
"I killed her." My eyes widens at his words.
"You killed her?" He nodded his head.
"She was the only one who keep me in my insanity but something happened and I completely lost control and when I woke up, she was dead." His last words turns into a whisper.
"I thought the mates of the Lycans are the only thing that could keep them in control?" Eliot said, we all waited for Kariz to answer but he didn't.
"It was the opposite." Clint mumbled, we all turned our heads at him.
"I'm not sure if I was right, but Klaire don't need our blood or her blood back. But what she needs is the blood of her mate. The beholder with the blood of the King should find the match to ignite the beginning of the night. The unbreakable bond should die or the crescent moon shall rise." He mumbled like he was reciting a riddle he read from somewhere.
"What do you mean?" Yustef said, Clint glance at Kariz.
"It was written in the book. Where is the book?" Clint ask.
"You opened it?" Clint nodded his head.
"Yes, but I wasn't able to read everything because Dwayne happened to be there." Clint explained to us everything he witness with that book and we all listen to him.
Kariz then explained that from a normal werewolf or being the book will appear like a normal book with written legends. And only the ones with the Lycans and Protectors bloodline can actually opened it but not everyone can do it. Because Belerick couldn't use it without us. That is also one of the reason why he started his experiments.
When we got inside the castle, Kariz took the book out. He said that what's inside is the map of the location of the Lycans. The fountain of their blood and Kariz believe that I am the only key to be able to awaken them.
"Opened it." Clint said, Kariz flipped the book but nothing happened. Unlike what Clint describe.
"What happened? Why is it not appearing?" Clint then pulled the book from Kariz. "I swear I saw it, the book pages are glowing and I even got cut because of its pages." He explains.
"Maybe the book doesn't want you two because the original beholder is here." Galaz mumbled, we all became silent.
"What? Maybe I was right. She was the key like you always say." He added, then Clint step closer to me holding the old book in his hand.
"Maybe it was you who should do it Klaire." I hesitated at first but then I felt a sudden warmth in my body, my heart started pounding really fast like I joined a marathon.
I slowly reach for the book but just as it touches my skin, a burning feeling came crawling all over my body. It was painful but it just lasted for seconds.
And just like what Clint said, the book was glowing. Like it was calling me to opened it. I slowly flip the book opened and the pages was full of symbols that I don't understand and just like how Clint describe it. The symbols started placing itself to a language I understand.
"The beholder with the blood of the King should find the match to ignite the beginning of the night. The unbreakable bond should die or the crescent moon shall rise." I read the first line. Just like what Clint said earlier.
"Red blood, red eyes, red poppies upon the Earth's breath. Though shall not awaken the sleeping ones or the crimson night shall rise." I read the last line. It was just short but then something else appear.
"Dear beholder, you shall choose between the lives of your people or the ones you truly long for." I'm not sure if it was a warning or a advice.
I flipped the next page and there it was. The map, the whole map of the werewolf territories is here including the forbidden forest and the Island were we used to be.
"The map is here." They all circled the book.
"There nothing in there." Noah mumbled, and I look at them with the same expression. It was only me who is seeing it.
"It was inside the deep part of the dark forest, it was an area which is not in the normal map. Like the place was not existing at all." I mumbled as I glance at the map which is at the wall.
"Are you saying it was here?" Clint pointed at the area where the map is showing. I nodded my head.
"But there is nothing there." Galaz said.
"We came across that area before, and it was nothing it was only a cliff just like what is written in the normal map." Kariz said, we all remain silent.
"What if it wasn't in the land?" Noah said. We all stared at him, he has a point.
"But werewolves are weak when it comes to water, we wouldn't be able to use our wolf if we want to search under water." Eliot said. Which gave me an idea.
"Noah was right, werewolves are not able to fight or last long in the water. Which make sense because no one would dare to look for it under water. What if the place was actually not on land but under water." They all stared at me.
"You have a point. And if the map is pointing at that location then there is only one way to find out." Kariz stop for a second.
"We need to go there ourselves."
