Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Chapter 153

153 The Disappeared World

Selma Payne’s POV:

It was a bizarre feeling. I knew I had forgotten something, but I couldn’t remember it, no matter how hard I tried. Even the ‘forget’ itself became blurry as if there was an eraser in your mind constantly clearing your perception of it.

I could hear the word ‘wolf’ and copied it into my mind, spelling out the word ‘w-o-l-f”.

However, that was all. The only meaning of the word ‘wolf’ to me was to spell it. More than that, whenever I thought about it, there would be a voice reminding me that it ‘didn’t exist’.

This was the power of shielding. It could make something disappear into thin air and make you refuse to accept its existence.

I felt my blood run cold.

“When is it...”

I couldn’t remember. I’d searched through my nineteen years of memories but couldn’t find anything related to it.

This was where the problem lay.

“When was the last time you thought of the word wolf?” The grandmasters were also very concerned about this.

I forgot. I frowned. The strange feeling of emptiness made me very uncomfortable. Honestly, I felt like I just learned the word ‘wolf’ five minutes ago.”

Dorothy and Aldrich tried their best to recall, but the answer was not optimistic. They unanimously agreed that I had not talked much about my wolf since this year.

“The last time I can remember was a month ago,” Dorothy said. “You said Maxine fought with you for some reason.”

I had no impression of it at all.

Aldrich was even more helpless. “It was also a month ago, the day after Adele was executed. You said Maxine was joking and wanted to see Adele’s wolf if she had one.”

My memory of that day was already very faint, not to mention this.

“Alright, now we know you were affected by some kind of shielding spell at least a month ago.”

Master Hayley suggested.

“Do you think it was Adele’s doing?”

I didn’t think so. It was hard to say, but I imagined it was very unlikely. Adele was completely sealed then. She shouldn’t have the opportunity or the ability.”

“Perhaps she had already made a move on you before?”

But I’d never been in contact with her for more than five minutes. Besides, there were usually other people present, so she couldn’t have cast a curse on me without anyone knowing.”

We analyzed for a long time but could not come up with anything. The whole thing was too strange. After that, the grandmasters and Dorothy checked the mana fluctuations in my body again, and the results were even weirder. They did not find any traces of unfamiliar mana. It was as if I had cast a curse on myself.

Dorothy was a little dejected, “Why have I suddenly lost my prophetic ability? Otherwise, I’ll be able to see what happened to you in the past.”

I patted her shoulder, indicating that it wasn’t her fault and that she shouldn’t blame herself.

We didn’t sleep at all in the middle of the night, so everyone was still awake when it was our turn to keep watch.

“Once bitten, twice shy. Everyone’s afraid of another accident happening in the middle of the night,” said Frank.

Things had been going in a strange direction since we arrived at the second base. It was good to be more vigilant. Who knew the trouble hidden here that was more troublesome than the Time Shifters?

It was six in the morning.

“Everyone, wake up! Pack up,” Frank said as he acted as a human alarm clock. “We should be setting off!”

The exhausted team members tidied up their luggage. Suddenly, Aldrich pulled me to the main entrance and said thoughtfully, “Something’s not right. Look.”

I peeked through the door’s crack but saw nothing other than the snow.

What was happening?

I used my eyes to express my confusion.

“Listen carefully,” Aldrich gestured for me to put my ear to the door.

I held my breath and listened carefully for a long time, but I still didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

It was so quiet. What was wrong with that?

Wait a moment.

I suddenly reacted.

How could it be so quiet? It was snowing outside, so why was there no sound at all?

Aldrich gestured for me to continue looking through the door crack. “Not only that. Do you think it’s dawn outside? ”

Of course, it was bright. It was all white outside. It couldn’t be night, right?

Something was wrong.

If it was morning, there should be sunlight. Even if dark clouds covered it, the visibility would not be so low. However, there was nothing but snow in my vision. I could only see white in the gaps between the snowflakes. It was as if the rocks and mountains had disappeared into thin air, leaving only a pale and fake background.

I immediately called over Frank and the other werewolf grandmasters.

After observing for a while, Master Hayley said seriously, “It’s very bad news. We’ve been blocked from the outside world.”

“What?”

“Our existence is blocked from the outside world, so we can’t see or hear anything. This isn’t a problem with our senses. It’s just that we’ve lost the right to observe the world, and this right is still shrinking.”

“So, it’s highly possible that the members who were here before disappeared because of this?”

I guessed so. I picked up the steaming cup on the table and said, “Did you notice? There’s no change in the water temperature compared to yesterday.”
