The tension in the chamber was overwhelmingly threatening for Alina as her heart pounded violently against her ribcage. She continued to stand motionless next to the open door, staring at her son as he gave her a horrifyingly creepy smile that made her spine shiver in agony.
Although her lips trembled at that point, she was still unable to respond to Nikolai’s question. He had asked a very dangerous question, even though it didn’t seem like it.
Her son had changed dramatically and had become more dangerous than he had been when he was a child, and the darkness that revolved around him had done nothing but increase clearly due to the strong hatred he held for her and all the Novikovs.
“It’s been a long time, mother, and you still haven’t answered my question.” Nikolai chuckled deeply and finally broke eye contact with her, laying back on the bed. “Your feet must not be hurting.” He added, clicking his tongue.
“Y..you should rest.” Alina stumbled breathlessly and moved to leave the room, but as soon as she moved a muscle, Nikolai sat himself up, his eyes blazed menacingly and as if blown by a strong wind, the door closed, sending Alina tumbling back against the wall, looking as though she had given up on life.
“I didn’t tell you to leave.” Nikolai groaned sluggishly and reclined on the bed. “Answer my question.”
“There is nothing…”
“I spent three hundred years in Nexus without sleeping for even a second, but all of a sudden, I dozed off and met a dragon who seemed to harbor a lot of grudges against me despite the fact that I had never met her before, and worst of all, she even knew my name.” Nikolai interrupted her, speaking in a low dangerous voice, then rose from the bed, stood up, and narrowed a dangerous gaze at Alina, who sighed deeply.
What’s the worst that could happen? After all, lycans and dragons had been at odds for a long time before Nikolai was imprisoned in the Nexus.
“Mother, time is ticking, and I am a ticking bomb.” Cyrus said wistfully, running his fingers through his ruffled hair impatiently.
Alina swallowed hard. “You won’t dare to hurt me,” she said confidently, earning a quiet scoff from Nikolai. “I am your Luna, and I am your mother.” She softly uttered and moved away from the wall.
“Then tell me, Luna, did you know I’d be dreaming about that dragon?” The tone he used when saying “Luna.” Was lethal, and Alina could only sigh in defeat.
Her own son, her only child, had grown to despise her to the point where she could almost see the resentment emanating from him.
“Yes, but I didn’t expect it to happen now.” She breathed out while averting her gaze.
“That was a hazy response.” Nikolai clicked his tongue in displeasure. “I need answers.”
“I can’t say much because I’m not allowed to, even if I try.” Nikolai narrowed his eyes as Alina responded almost immediately.
Once named the Alpha’s rightful mate, every Luna of Celestia became an oracle. Nikolai was well aware that his mother had the ability to see the future, and while it mostly manifested as vague dreams and glimpses, she could only say as little as possible in order to avoid the destruction of the world’s order.
“So this is related to Selene’s path.” Nikolai laughed and sat back on the bed, one leg on top of the other. “Please elaborate.”
Alina let out a long sigh. “You are not permitted to approach her or even come into contact with her. It is against the goddess’s will, and it will bring you and Celestia destruction.” She revealed, her gaze still averted from him.
“Oh?” Nikolai arched his brows. He didn’t seem bothered by the information, and when Alina noticed, she frowned slightly.
“You must not approach her!” She raised her voice, and Nikolai stood up, brightly smiling as if he had just heard a joke.
