Chapter 68
Lsabella's pov :
Xavier somehow managed to escape and he stood on the rocky cliff and got help for our Blood Moon Pack. The huge moon was half crippled, but still huge and dazzling, and my MATE took on the form of a sturdy white wolf standing on a rocky cliff howling at the moon.
The rogue's team rushed down from above the gentle slope of the snowy mountain, scattering the ranks of the united army, which originally wanted to attack Blood Moon Pack and had to deal with the sudden arrival of the enemy.
But I didn't have time to cheer the current turnaround either, because there was also a problem with the Moonstone. All of this we were facing now was for the Moonstone, so I had to go and fix it.
"Kyra, you guard here, only the warriors will hold the walls, I'll go check the status of the Moonstone!"
"Yes! Miss, don't worry."
I immediately followed the stairs of the walls all the way down, and then straight in to the altar site not far away.
Brielle and several assistants were standing there, their backs to me, anxiously studying the current situation shown on the monitor.
I took a few steps forward: "What's going on? What is the current situation of Moonstone?"
Brielle heard my question and immediately turned her head and handed the monitor to me: "Miss, here's the thing, this class moonstone also has cracks, and the cracks are spreading much faster than the situation encountered before."
My heart was immediately seized again, the monitor showed the moonstone indeed appeared a few gaps, and the tip of the gap seems to be as if alive, and is still extending outward.
I knew very well the answer to my heart's greatest fear, but as an Alpha of the pack, I still had to face it.
"This moonstone... could it be a fake?"
"I don't dare to guarantee this thing 100%, but I think there is nothing wrong with the moonstone because our warriors can also feel the increase in power, which means the moonstone is working. And although there is a crack, this crack is also different from the previous situation."
"What's different?"
Brielle pulled up the previous record chart in order to do so, and in comparison, I noticed that the moonstone now seemed to reveal light in the crevices.
"Miss, I think this may be some normal situation that we don't know, after all, we have very little information about the moonstone, even the specific rules of this ritual have many versions, and the final presentation also has the element of gambling in it. So my guess is that the moonstone will undergo certain changes after it reaches a certain point, such as the appearance of a cracked column. I don't think we need to be nervous, the moonstone will give us help."
Brielle held my hand: "Miss you are the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, we are the wolf pack stationed on top of this continent closest to Moon Goddess, the Moonstone has also been guarded by your ancestors before it was stolen, I think in the bloodline of Miss, there must also be a part that connects with the Moonstone, you will definitely be guided by Moon Goddess."
I looked towards the altar, I didn't know if Brielle's words really meant something or if she was just reassuring me because I didn't get any legends about the Moonstone from my memories or from my parents.
So I wasn't sure if I was really able to have an aura and be guided by Moon Goddess as Brielle said.
The cobblestone paved ceremony site was very bright in the moonlight, and could still faintly shine out.
The candles had already burned out of a batch, and Brielle, who was presiding over the ritual, had replaced them with a new batch, and the firelight formation swayed, and I was in a trance for a moment.
I couldn't tell if I was too tired, or if the resistance inhibitor medicine was working in my body. I looked at the moonstone in the center of the altar, a small one, but with great magical power.
It was as if I had entered a dream state, and as if I had lost my mind, I stepped inside the altar with one foot.
There were a few slight shouts from behind me, but no one dared to come up and stop me, and I took the first step without any problem.
But the strange thing is, my feet felt the cold touch of water, different from the envisioned soft sand, my trip into the water, and then step after step, walked to the altar placed in the center of the altar of the moonstone.
The moonstone was right in front of me, and the light it emitted seemed to penetrate my body, and I felt a surge of power coming up like a wave.
I was relieved because it was at least proof that the moonstone was real, and the ritual was halfway successful, as it was releasing power.
But then what? Even though I had come this far, I still didn't know what to do.
Nut often tells me to follow my heart, because Moon Goddess knows our hearts.
But there is nothing inside me right now, it seems empty, I can't think of anything right now.
I put my palms together, against my chin, and then sincerely felt it, felt the connection between me and the Moonstone.
A wolf howl that pierced the clouds and reached the moon suddenly rang out, and I realized it was Xavier's howl.
I looked up and there was a golden light shining in the sky. What was that light? Had Xavier officially awakened his bloodline at this time?
The wolf's howl didn't exactly contain a sense of joy after the awakening, but rather I felt some pain.
What's going on? Is it related to the experience that Xavier said he had when he awakened and felt the resistance to the power?
I heard a crisp sound and looked down to see that the moonstone in front of me seemed to be cracking completely.
Too late for me to hesitate or think, I reached out with both hands and took hold of the moonstone, the pigeon egg-sized gem was clutched tightly in my palm, but the light pierced the gap between my fingertips and shone out, and it became more and more intense.
I don't know how to describe how I feel now, like a cold flame, burning my palm, the moonstone became both hot and cold, but I knew I couldn't let go of it.
After I don't know how long, I only noticed that everything around me was quiet, and it was as if I was in a white world, very peaceful.
"Miss?"
"Miss Lsabella? Wake up!"
I suddenly heard voices, as if from the sky, and as if they were right next to my ears.
Who was calling me?
I opened my eyes in a flash, and Brielle and Asher gathered around me.
"You're finally awake."
Was I asleep? I braced my upper body and realized I was lying in the altar, but instead of water beneath me, it was sand and pebbles that felt real to the touch.
"What's happening?"
"I don't know," Brielle looked at me excitedly, "but you should have been summoned by Moon Goddess because the power of the moonstone was activated!"
"Really?"
I immediately stood up, my body seemed to be well rested and became much lighter.
Has it really come true? Xavier's face suddenly flashed in my mind always.
"Come out of the walls to meet the battle! We're going to win the victory that belongs to us!"
"Yes! Alpha!"
