The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 483 Nightmare

Click...

Adhara exited the throne room in a gloomy mood, she closed the door behind her gently before she leans on the door while looking up to the ceiling. She closes her eyes before she then exhales roughly still in thought.

Just a moment ago, she finally know the real story behind Rex's hatred for the Supernaturals.

After such a long time she finally feels that Rex really open up to her without holding back any secrets, she should've felt good knowing that they both are now transparent. But the moment that she thought would finally relieve her turned out to not match her expectation.

There is no happiness she felt from hearing Rex open up, not even a glimpse of it.

If she knows that the day Rex confessed everything about himself would turn out like this, she wouldn't even anticipate the day to come. Seeing Rex like this is painful for her.

Now that she knows the real story, Adhara finds it similar to her story.

But there is one major and crucial difference between the two of them. While she still has her father, Rex has absolutely no one in his life. Sure, Mrs. Greene and Robert are like family but the feeling is not the same compared to an actual family.

Rex even went to the military to take revenge on the Supernaturals.

If the feeling he gained from Mrs. Greene and Robert is the same as the feeling he got from his real parents, then he should've already moved on from the past. But he clearly hasn't.

While Adhara is calming her chaotic emotion, she suddenly sensed someone in front of her.

Adhara opens her eyes before shifting her gaze downward, she saw Edward walking toward her with a concerned look. From his expression alone, Evelyn must've already told him about Rosie's death and also Rex going berserk.

"How is he doing?", Edward asks looking at the door behind Adhara.

Hearing this, Adhara sighs heavily as if there's a heavy burden on her back, "Not good, Evelyn might have already told you but there's more. Rex is not feeling well, he just confessed everything to me"

"Confessed?", Edward intervenes with a frown.

Looking back at the throne room's door, Adhara then shifted back to Edward before signaling for them to go somewhere else first. The both of them descend down to the guest room before sitting on the sofa.

After sitting down opposite each other, Adhara then looks around.

"Don't worry, there is no one awake inside the mansion. The guards are outside so they won't be able to hear us", Edward explains realizing that what they were about to talk about is sensitive.

But then, Adhara frowned, "Where is Evelyn then?"

"Getting some fresh air in the back garden, what did Rex confess?", Edward changed the topic back to the main one, the word confess associated with Rex is something that directed his thought to one point.

Out of all his expectations, Edward finds it hard for Rex to confess that.

So he's curious as to what Rex said to Adhara, and soon she then recounts what Rex confessed, "Just when Rex finally regains his senses after going berserk knowing Rosie has died, we met with two Werewolves that are after him. They are sent by the Dark Prince to capture Rex to be devoured by the Dark Prince"

"One of the Werewolves is called Ruston... a very powerful Alpha Werewolf"

Pausing for a moment while biting her lower lip, Adhara then gazes at Edward before she continues, "Ruston... Ruston is the Werewolf that killed Rex's parents. His real parents..."

Upon hearing this, Edward sucked in a cold breath in absolute shock.

Although he just thought to himself that Rex will never tell anyone about his real parents that got butchered by a Werewolf in front of his eyes when he was a kid, he's caught off guard when Rex actually told her about his real parents.

It's the most sensitive and buried story about Rex that he never even mention.

Even for himself, knowing about Rex's real parents are even something of an accident. If it weren't for Billy telling him about that then he also won't know about Rex's real parents, which shows just how unwilling Rex is to bring up that particular night.

For Rex to confess this to Adhara shows that he's absolutely rock bottom.

The atmosphere becomes gloomy again as Edward looks down in silence, he can't even begin to comprehend what Rex is feeling right now. Aside from that, he also clenched his fists realizing that the matter regarding Kyran, the Green Messenger, and Sebrof can't be brought up for now.

With the condition Rex is in right now, his mind is not even straight so how does he handle the pressing problems. Everything naturally becomes Edward's responsibility.

But when they were silent, Evelyn came from the hallway on the side.

Evelyn approaches them and saw the gloomy vibe around both of them, she can't help but frown as this vibe is definitely because of Rex's predicament.

"What's going on? How is Rex doing?", she asks surprising Adhara and Edward who got distracted so much by the topic they are talking about that they didn't even realize Evelyn is already standing beside them.

Hearing this, Adhara glances at her before forcing out a smile, "Let's just hope for the best..."

"Are you going to stay the night here? We have many guest rooms that you can take if you want", Edward suggested after standing up from the sofa trying to washes the gloomy vibe.

Deliberating for a moment, Evelyn finally nodded his head.

Edward nodded his head back before he excuses himself going straight to the room he was staying in, he didn't say anything more and just went straight to his room.

"Well... goodnight then"

"Goodnight...", Evelyn replied before Adhara went back to the second floor and disappears.

After they both went back to their respective room, Evelyn ascend the stairs slowly before she glanced to the left where the throne room's door lies at the end of the hallway. Rex is inside the throne room doing god knows what.

Gazing at the throne room's door blankly, Evelyn mutters silently, "Rex..."

In the middle of the night, Adhara opens her eyes and finds herself lying on the bed. She reaches her hand to the side and finds it empty, Rex is not lying beside her like he used to.

The master bedroom feels empty without Rex beside her, it's suffocating.

Sighing tiredly to herself, Adhara pulls the blanket covering her body to her neck. She turns her body to the side intending to sleep the night but stunned when she saw the glowing red moon hanging high in the sky.

Upon looking at this, Adhara wakes up from the bed in surprise.

"What?! Shouldn't the next full moon be the Wolf Moon? Why is there a Blood Moon instead?", Adhara mutters to herself in confusion, she tries to think but she clearly remembered that Rex told her that the next full moon would be the Wolf Moon.

But soon the frown on her face becomes even more evident, "Wait... Why is there a full moon?"

Today shouldn't be a full moon, even when they got back from the Vampire territory the moon should be a half moon or something. Adhara can't remember clearly but she's sure that today is definitely not a full mon day.

Feeling something is wrong, Adhara instantly wore her night robe and went outside the room.

Adhara got out of the master bedroom and finds that the hallway is dark, in fact very dark. She went to the switch to turn on the light, but even after trying several times, the light doesn't get turned on.

Looking down over the second-floor fence, she doesn't find anyone near the back garden.

Even though there are some nights that are very dark and silent, this one feels weird and even somewhat creepy. Unconsciously, Adhara's heart started beating faster. Her body is responding to the uneasy feeling about the situation.

Shifting her attention elsewhere, Adhara jumped down intending to check on the others.

Kyran and Gistella are not back yet so they shouldn't be in their rooms, Adhara then decided to check on Edward's room. Upon reaching the room, she knocks on the door a couple of times.

Waiting for a moment, there is no answer.

Adhara frowned feeling even more uneasy, she reaches for the handle but finds that it was locked. She tries to force her way in but no matter how much she tries, the door didn't budge.

Even using her Awakened power, somehow she can't break into the door.

From this alone Adhara finds that something really is weird, she then carefully walks through the hallway leading to the guest room. She looks around and finds nobody. Peeking through the window, Adhara finds the front yard of the mansion is empty.

It shouldn't be empty since there are always guards there, but she knows what she sees.

When she's starting to get scared, a rough thudding stepping sound can be heard from the second floor. It sounds like someone heavy is running. Adhara turns around in reflex and finds a shadow passing the second floor.

Her eyes enlarge feeling horrified, she went to the front door and tries to open it.

"Rrgghh! Please!", Adhara pulls the front door with all her might to no avail. Just like Edward's room door, the front door can't be opened no matter how much she tries to open it.

Adhara realizes that there was nowhere to run and reluctantly went back to the second floor.

Stepping her feet to the second floor, Adhara looks to the side staring at the throne room where Rex should be in. Unlike the other door, this one is opened a little that can be clearly seen through the light coming from the inside of the throne room.

Gulping harshly, she then slowly approached the throne room's door.

Every step she took toward the throne room is a shaky step, her legs are trembling from the horrifying feeling that becomes clearer the closer she gets. Upon nearing the throne room's door, she can hear a muffled sound.

Step after step, the muffled sound becomes even comprehensible in Adhara's ears.

Adhara frowned when she finds that the muffled sound is familiar, she hurried her steps as the frown on her face becomes even more evident, "Father...?"

Not long after, she arrived in front of the throne room's door.

Just as she peeks through the gap of the throne room's door, Adhara widens her eyes seeing the scene inside the throne room. Her father is held by a furred monster by the neck, there's a T-shaped rune on this monster's shoulder glowing with a red light.

Glancing in Adhara's direction, the monster exposes its condescending grin.

Right after giving Adhara the grin, the monster then looks back at her father before biting off her father's head with one clean bite. Blood sprayed to her face as her eyes dilated in utter shock.

"FATHER!!"

Adhara jolted up from the bed with her body drenched in sweat.

Her eyes opened wide as she glanced left and right in panic, she looks out of the window and finds the half moon hanging in the sky. This somehow snap her out of her daze before her breathing slowly became steady.

After looking around, she finally finds that it was all a dream.

Even after realizing that it was just a nightmare, Adhara finds that her entire body is trembling uncontrollably. She looks at her trembling hands before she rubs her face with her hands feeling extremely fatigued from the nightmare she just had.

But soon, she notices something, "That nightmare is so similar to what Rex confessed..."

"Having to dream about your parents' death once is already hard enough, I can't even imagine dreaming about that for years. How did he go through all of that...", she mutters while shaking her head in disbelief.

Hearing it from Rex's mouth is one thing, but feeling it herself stuck a heavy blow.

After collecting herself, Adhara wore her night robe before going outside of the room intending to check on Rex. She closed the door lightly before walking through the hallway.

While walking through the hallway, Adhara got goosebumps remembering the nightmare.

Grabbing a glass in the kitchen, Adhara went to the sink and takes water first feeling her throat quite dry. She gulps the glass of water before she then went outside of the kitchen but she then stopped abruptly.

To her surprise, she suddenly met with Evelyn in the hallway.

Seeing Adhara going out of the kitchen also caught her in surprise, their senses are jumbled everywhere because of what happened or what they are thinking to be exact.

"Evelyn? Aren't you tired of today? Why are you up?", Adhara asks hugging her shivering body.

Hearing this, Evelyn stare dead at Adhara in the eyes without replying.

Finding that Evelyn is acting weird makes Adhara knit her eyebrows together in confusion, but her eyes then landed on Evelyn's hand which is glowing with a purple light. This made her unconsciously hold her breath.

The white wolf head symbol on Evelyn's palm is glowing with a purple light.

Without even saying anything but just staring at each other briefly, the both of them nodded their heads before they went upstairs. Upon reaching the second floor, they both gazes at the throne room where Rex should be.

Bracing themselves, Adhara and Evelyn walk side by side towards the throne room.

Adhara feels her neck tingles remembering the horrifying nightmare that she just had, she rubs her nape trying to calm herself down convincing herself that it's just a dream.

Soon they both reach the throne room's door.

Looking at Adhara who seems to be scared, Evelyn decided to be the one to knock on the door.

Knock!

Knock!

After knocking on the door two times, Evelyn steps back waiting for a response from the inside. But even after a minute, there is no answer from the inside which spark both of them to look at each other again before shifting their eyes to the glowing white wolf head symbol.

Taking a huge breath to calm down, Evelyn then pushes the door open.

Slowly the throne room's door opened as the both of them steps inside, they saw the inside of the throne room is still the same as before but they don't find Rex sitting on the red throne. This made them both widen their eyes in horror.

But then suddenly, "What are you both doing here..."
