Hiding Atlantis

Chapter 3

Once they're out of my sight, my wolf started to calm down. She's not talking to me. She never talks to me.

I can feel her emotions though. I can feel it when she's sad. I can feel it when she's happy. I can feel it when she's angry. And I can feel it when she's hurting.

And right now she's in pain. But I don't understand why.

My heart's in pain too. Seeing Atlas with my sister feels like there are millions of knives stabbing my heart right now.

It's painful. Seeing the man I love with my very own sister.

I found myself walking towards the shore. Cool breeze attacked my body, making me feel cold just like what my heart feels like right now.

I stop on my tracks and look as the sun's light makes the ever so pure water of the Atlantic ocean shine divinely. It looks so calm contrary to my messy thoughts right now.

I looked at the place where I saw Atlas and Alas fighting. I can remember it vividly as if it just happened yesterday.

"Liliana." A small voice calls me.

I looked at my back and fear instantly enveloped my system as I saw Alas standing a few feet away from me.

"D-don't come n-near me." I told him. My voice is shaking.

I tried to step backwards and I felt my feet being soaked by pure sand as I slowly inch myself away from him.

I saw pain in his eyes with my retreat. If it was just a dream, then why can I see pain and regret in his eyes right now? Why is he guilty?

I stopped stepping back as I wearily looked at him.

"Y-You," I spat. "You almost killed Atlas!" I accused him.

Pain instantly left his eyes and was replaced with another strong emotion. Anger.

"I didn't." He said, making me confused again.

"Y-You did. I saw you! I saw you shift into your wolf and almost killed him! I tried to save him and y-you tried to stop me and b-bit–"

I stopped with my sentence and reached for the sleeves of the shirt I don't remember wearing.

I pulled it downwards to check for any sign of the wound he gave me.

"What are you doing, Liliana?" said a female voice, the reason why I raise my eyes to meet hers.

I froze when I saw my sister in front of me with Atlas on her side holding her hand. The cold stabbing feeling went back to attack my heart as I saw him looking darkly at me.

"You shouldn't do it here. There are other pack members that might walk on you. You can continue it in Alas' room. As the future Luna I don't want my reputation to be tainted." She said with malice in her voice as she looked at me and to Alas.

I no longer have time to correct her wrong accusation as my mind kept repeating the words she said.

As the future Luna...

As the future Luna...

As the future Luna...

Is she talking about her relationship with Atlas? 

My mouth dropped as I looked at them. Atlas' face remained serious as he looked in Alas' direction.

I feel hot tears forming my eyes as I hear my wolf crying and whimpering again making the pain I'm feeling doubled.

Alas stepped towards me when he saw that I'm having a hard time balancing myself.

"Are you okay?" He said.

I love to push him away right now but instead, I grip his shirt hard as I feel another wave of pain as my wolf continues to cause havoc inside me.

Without second thought, Alas lifted me in his arms. I want to protest but I'm too weak right now. I just want to sleep. And that's what I did.
