Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

” That was dope! ”

Josh was over the moon with excitement.

He had expected Ryan to do something out of the bag but he did not expect it to be that literal.

Ryan however did not share his excitement.

The show was done.

The bracelet was acquired.

He was busy admiring its subtle shine, dangling it in the air, in front of him.

Josh was like a big pup whenever he was excited. He was literally over Ryan. Scratching his thighs and waiting for his reaction.

When he got none, he sat up.

He too looked at the bracelet and then asked,

” What’s so special about this? ”

Ryan did not answer at first. But in his head he could not stop thinking why it indeed was so special and unique.

” Do you wish to hear the real story behind this? ”

Ryan asked Josh, still looking at the bracelet, absentmindedly.

Josh eagerly came forward. His puppy eyes watching like a curious child,

” Of course I do. Does it really have a story? Is it a sad or happy one? ”

He asked.

” You decide that. I can only do the narration. ”

And thus Ryan began his story telling session-

Once upon a time, in the ancient world of werewolves, Alpha Kraus fell in love with the daughter of his foe, Hera, who was the Alpha substitute of her pack after her father’s sudden death. They were both strong leaders of their respective packs, but their love for each other was stronger than anything else in the world.

One day, Hera gifted Kraus a Moonstone bracelet. “This is a special gift,” she said. “It has the power to grant wishes. Use it wisely.”

Kraus was skeptical. “Wishes? That sounds like a fairy tale.”

But Hera was insistent. “Trust me. It’s real. And it’s ours.”

So Kraus put on the bracelet and made his first wish. “I wish for a feast tonight, fit for a king.”

And just like that, the table was set with the most delicious food he had ever tasted. Hera smiled, pleased with her gift.

But as time went on, Kraus started to abuse the power of the bracelet. He wished for riches, power, and even tried to wish for immortality.

Hera warned him that he was playing with fire, but Kraus was too consumed with his own desires to listen.

Until one day, Hera disappeared. No one knew where she went, but Kraus knew deep down that it was because of his greed and misuse of the bracelet.

He searched far and wide for her, but to no avail. And so he was left alone, with nothing but the Moonstone bracelet on his wrist, a constant reminder of his love and his regret.

Years went by, and Krause grew old and wise. He realized that the true power of the bracelet was not in granting wishes, but in the love and trust that it represented.

And so, in his final moments, Kraus made one last wish. “I wish for the safe return of my beloved Hera, and for forgiveness for my foolishness.”

And just like that, Hera appeared before him, as beautiful and strong as ever.

They embraced, and Hera looked down at the Moonstone bracelet on Alpha Kraus’s wrist. “I see you’ve finally learnt the true meaning of the bracelet,” she said.

Kraus smiled with tears in his eyes. “Yes. And I’m sorry it took me so long to realize it.”

From that day onwards, the two of them lived out the rest of their days together, with the Moonstone bracelet serving as a symbol of their love and their redemption.

…

” So, what did you think? Was it sad or happy? ”

Josh could not answer Ryan’s question. He looked spell bound at the ornament.

” Is it really true that this can grant wishes? ”

He asked. His mouth was about to start drooling with more excitement.

” Have a go. Do you want to try? ”

He chuckled as he passed the bracelet onto Josh.

Who grabbed it instantly.

He rubbed his palm, thinking what he ought to wish for.

Then suddenly he thrust the bracelet back into Ryan’s hand.

Ryan looked at him confused.

” Hera gave it to Kraus and Kraus made all the wrong wishes but Hera was the one that disappeared.

So if I make the stupid wishes this time, it will be my Alpha who vanishes from my sight. Never.

I am not taking such a risk. ”

Ryan burst out laughing at his logic and explanation.

” So you have already taken the tales to be true. ”

Josh shrugged.

” I don’t know. But with you, I am not taking any kind of risk.

I saw my entire family and clan perish in front of my eyes. You brought me up like your own son.

You are not only my Alpha but the reason for my existence.

No power of worth more than your companionship. ”From NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan pulled the big boy into a bear hug and kissed him on the forehead.

” Www! Alpha! What are you doing. Bet back please

This is disgusting. ”

Ryan fell back on his seat hysterically laughing to his apparent death.

Things seemed like they were going in his way. According to his desire at the moment, which was quite an achievement.

As he closed his eyes and relaxed he could not help but wonder if this calm and serenity was just the clam before a storm. Just then his phone rang.

He pulled it out to check.

It was Sherry who was calling.

” Hello… ”

He picked it up.

” Hello… Ryan… Hello… Can you hear me? Where are you? ”

Her voice was shaking and she seemed nervous.

” I am in my car. Why? What’s wrong? Why do you sound so worried? ”

” You need to come to your place at once Ryan. Wherever you are, just turn your car and head back straight home. ”

She almost ordered.
