My feet trailed to Aiyu's empty room. Unlike a normal room, there is no bed but a big sofa whenever he wants to lie down not that he needed to sleep. There are more books than anything in his room and some papers are left scattered around.

"At least clean your room." I murmured. I told him countless times to at least clean those papers when he's done. He often asks me where is where and I ended up cleaning it for him. I sat at his chair stacking the papers properly. His scent still lingers probably because he mostly stayed in. I seldom see him going out, and for what reason, I don't know. Aiyu never told me what he is doing. 'You know, this and that.' or 'You can call me whenever and I will be there. I'm never busy for you.' He often reminds me. Whenever I see him, he is either staring somewhere or writing something.

I noticed the old looking book he keeps on hiding from me. For some reason, this is the only thing that he does not want me to touch.

'It's not ready for you.'

'You can read everything in this room but not this. Not yet.'

The book has his scent and I couldn't help but held it. The cover is as ancient as he is; he would surely yell at me if he heard it. He never wanted to be regarded as an old man. I don't know what his exact age is, he never told me anything from before he came to our pack. Without much thought, I found myself opening the book, only it's not a book. It's a journal.

'To mine own beloved, may thou find thy way.' The first page says. There are traces of this page being dampened by something. This doesn't look like his handwriting. Was this a gift? But... beloved? He won't mind if I read this now, right?

I miss you.

The nights gone colder and the passing time became an eternal curse.

I miss you. Regard not of what had befell.

It was not thy fault that they made you keep an eye on me. I don't care if you are a spy, because you are my beloved. It was not your fault but mine own negligence. I knew that the elders have their eyes on the old throne but I kept a blind eye. They put the blame on me for the sin of murdering you, but I know what they did. However, it is still my fault that you died. I was unable to do anything but be a killer of my own. Worry not. I already killed them. I don't regret it even if it means that I will relinquish my right to the throne. I was never meant to lead them. I knew that. I've seen that. But what I never saw was you leaving me. My foresight is useless against death.

I miss you. My beloved Elizabeth.

Beloved? Isn't that the same thing as mates for the vampires?

How are you? I miss you every day. I decided to heed your advice to go to the Moonstone pack. They were surprisingly welcoming. They did not mind that I am different. It was unexpected but I made friends. I also met the friend you talked about, Lianne also wanted to see you again. She wanted to tell you that she has found her mate. It was Ash, the Alpha of Moonstone. She said that you need not worry, Ash is a good person. Though I think he looks too serious for his age. But they are perfect for each other. They love each other.

Eliz, I wish you were here.

Nathalia Rhianne. That is the name of their newborn daughter. A quiet baby. Ash and Lianne wanted me to be as one of the guardians for their little one. I wish I know more about children. You mention that you want to take care of children. Do you have any notes I can refer to? I know you like writing things down. To keep record of your life, is that why you gave me this journal?

Don't worry I will tell you everything I learned. I miss you.

The next entries were about Aiyu's visits at our pack. He mentions me a couple of time in his journal. There are few short entries but I think he is trying to write as often as possible. It was his promise to Elizabeth.

Dear Eliz, I heard that our elders and the wolves' commission is having a meeting for an agreement. After centuries, are they finally signing a peace treaty? But at what cost? They are still after me. Millie warned me not to return or I'll be dead as soon as I enter the coven. Though I have not had a premonition of my death, I would not want to go back. They can have the throne. I don't care. What's done is done. But... something feels amiss at this sudden meeting. Does Ash know what it is about? Maybe I'll visit them tomorrow. As I remember, Little Lianne is going to be seven years old. How long has it been? I still miss you.

Eliz, I'm sorry. Like before, I was unable to do anything. They're gone. Ash, Lianne, Moonstone pack is gone. All of what's left is little Lianne. She survived on her own but I would not risk it. We are staying far from them for now. I will take care of her. I will try. For little Lianne.

Have you heard of a werewolf losing their human side? It was the first that I have known of it. Today, I asked Lianne if he could write her name. To my surprise, she wrote 'Winter' and she said that it was her name. That's when she told me that she is the wolf spirit and her human left when she was born. I don't understand how. Maybe there are texts about this case. So far, I have not found anything but I will try.

How are you? Did you meet Ash and Lianne? I hope they are happy, too. Tell them not to worry. I will take care of their daughter. I miss you.

Lianne wanted to live a normal life. She wanted to go to a human school. She kept on saying that it was a promise. My same promise to you. To live a normal life. I couldn't say no to her. She has grown as her own person. I have already arranged everything though I am scared that I will not be there for her. Don't worry I taught her how to hide her scent. how to keep her temper. I hope that is enough. I'm worried. Please guide her. What should I do?

I miss you more.

Why do I keep making wrong decisions? I thought she'll be fine but she got into a big trouble. It even concerns one of the packs that used to be in the commission. I investigated the incident and found something strange. I am yet to confirm this, but I think someone else survived from the Moonstone pack.

Eliz, What should I do?

She found her mate. She's taking this lightly but... I don't know. Who dare him to reject my Lianne?! She's strong and beautiful. She has grown to look like her mother but she often acts like her father. Yes, she hides in human scent but how could the wolf reject her? I did not raise her to be rejected. He needs to explain.

On another matter, I am still investigating the survivor. My investigation pointed that it has something to do with the rogues. More problems. Eliz, don't you think I'm too old for this?

I'm not that old!

I miss you

I met her mate. I am deeply flabbergasted at how this all turned out. He is one of them. I finally got a copy of the old agreement and... I know Lianne won't handle it easily. Especially with him. I know she cares for him. She chose to stay away from him but... she just did it for him. I don't want to influence how she thinks. With that in mind, I can't tell her about the agreement. I hope she can forgive me. Eliz... I hope I'm doing the right thing.

I've finally see it. I will see you soon my love. I suppose only my death can be seen by my eyes. But I'm worried. Lianne will be alone. Maybe I should contact her mate but I think she'll argue otherwise. I don't want her to remember me as a traitor. But I don't want her to know that I'll be gone soon.

If this will be my last entry, if you have come to read this. I'm sorry, Lianne. I should have told you this but I couldn't bring myself to. If this is my last, then I should at least tell you about the agreement. Why your pack is gone. At the end of this journal, you will find the agreement. I don't want to leave you with anger but you have to know. I know until now you are still curious about what happened. Please forgive me. I will miss you.

I flipped through the pages even more confused. He knew he was going to die, then why did he not try to avoid it? And there was a survivor? He never even told me of this Elizabeth. Aiyu.

A folded paper fell. It was brown and there are traces of someone's blood on it. It probably took him a great deal of effort to obtain this. As I opened it... I think,... I'm going insane.

Vampire coven and wolf commission..

To eliminate... Moonstone pack.

What?...

Eliminate? Signed by... these packs...

Bluelake, Decadillion and Bloodridge... This is...
