I Think, Therefore I am

lORE

The omega and the alpha are sitting on the rooftop, stargazing. While Ophelia was explaining some things to Zack that happened to her in the mindscape, Ophelia couldn't describe how Zack's expression but she knows he was conflicted on how far-fetched her story sound. Even fro he the story sound too false to be call truth, but somehow she knew, from her guts. She knew that she needs to believe. Furthermore, the need to know more about the history of the verse. Silence display between the teenagers.

"Wow that is a lot to take in. All of that happened in 2 hours when you fainted?" Zack continued to gaze at the night sky, trying to process the sudden information.

"I know, I know I may sound crazy and a knob-head. But Zack, I can feel it. I can feel that it is speaking the fact and I am going to find out more of this!" Ophelia sits up and looks at Zack with fierce and fear on her face. Zack stared for a while, trying to scan her expression.

"And I am h-hoping that you accompany me during this search. Will you?" Ophelia stuttered when she asked for Zack's answer. Zack's face darkens, he was not sure if he should accompany Ophelia. All of this sounds too unreal. Zack sat up and face Ophelia's determined face.

"I Uhh—"Zack's face look like he was hesitating, he knew about what happened to her in the forest, which was already unbelievable as she is an omega who doesn't know how to self-defense. There is no way she could kill a wolf by herself, but he had no reason to argue with her because he was not there to witness it.

"I am quite not sure about this Ophelia, can you give a day to think?" Zack asked Ophelia nervously, he needs to think more of this.

"That is understandable, but I will let you know I will begin my research tomorrow. And I will start the capital public library" Ophelia understood why Zack was hesitating with the sudden decision and she won't blame him. They both went quiet for a second until a sound of a horse thumping the ground that indicates that the head of the household has arrived.

"From the looks of it, mother and father have arrived. We should head down and greet them from their journey" without speaking both teenagers stand up and climb down the roof and went to the living room. Layla and Nick were there taking off of their coat and cloak. Layla's scent was blocked which make her smell like a beta, which is a relief for Ophelia.

"Hello children, we are sorry for the delay. Our journey was a tad a bit handful, but we brought you something to eat." Layla spoke with a bag in Nick's hand.

"Thank you so much, Layla, nick. Though I consider you should rest, your journey is indeed exhausting. I recommend you sleep, Zack and I will handle all the arrangements you brought back with you" Ophelia suggested, which made the adult couple smile at her consideration.

"Ophelia, dear we told you, you can call us mother and father. No need to be shy and you are indeed correct, we should take our rest. We shall tell you all about our journey tomorrow. However don't stay up late, okay?" with that nick was pushed by Layla towards their quarter. Zack nudges at Ophelia, making Ophelia questioned Zack's intention until she remember she need to ask permission to go to the capital tomorrow.

"Ohhh, Lay-I mean mother, father. May I ask your consent to go to the public library in the capital tomorrow?" Ophelia question made Layla and nick halted.

"Oh, of course you can, but you and Zack need to be car—"before nick could finish his sentence he was cut off by Layla.

"I am going to go, alone. Without Zack" this made the three of her not-blood-related family nervous. It is uncommon for Ophelia to go outside without Zack by her side.

"Wait, are you sure. Ophelia? It is not that I doubt your skills, I know I said that I was unsure. It's just that—"Zack stuttered his words but was shushed by Ophelia
