Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Hazel,

I cannot remember now exactly how long I cried at that moment hiding my face between my knees forgetting about the world. But, Galaxy's voice returned me in the reality.

Galaxy stated in a grave and wobbly tone, "Milady, don't break down so easily. Don't forget you are our Luna. You have to stay strong." I didn't expect such words from such a young girl in that situation. I looked up at Galaxy. It was clear that she was also crying as her red cheeks and eyes were the proofs but her expression was different.

There was a pain but there was something else was the determination and urge of fighting back and getting her revenge. She continued again, "Milady, there is no sign of Milord and some of our important warriors. I think they captured them all. Now, you are the one Milady who can order us and tell us how to save Milord. Don't break down like this Milady, we need someone right now who can show us the right path."

Galaxy had logic and her words were not to ignore. I thought about it for a second and instantly I realized that she was right there was no sign of Xander and his special bodyguards. That meant they were captured by the attacker. I stood up without wasting any more time I left the room. Soon I reached the garden area it was almost night at that time. Liam and Galaxy followed me.

A cold wind was blowing which was hitting my red wet face again and again. But, the cold wind calmed me down. My brain started working again. While staring at the dark sky of the night, I ordered Liam in a serious tone, "Call Damien and ask what is the news of Vampire's den, right now."

Without asking any other question, Liam started dialing the number, Damien.

After two short rings, Damien picked up the phone and asked in a casual and concerned tone, "Hello, What is the news of the castle. I was about to call. Thanks to the moon goddess that you have called at last."

Liam replied in a wobbly tone and explained the whole incident of the castle in short. After a long pause, Damien replied in a choked voice, "I am returning to the castle right now and until then you three stay safe. Protect my lady. I will-"

Before he could finish, I asked looking at Liam, "How is the work of Vampire's den going on?"

Liam immediately asked the question. From the other side of the phone, Damien replied, "Yes, we have started our work. Selene will complete the rituals tonight then within tomorrow evening we can talk with vampire king Vlad."

I replied instead of Liam who already turned the phone into loudspeaker mode, "Then you stay with Selene now and complete the rituals without any obstacles. After when you will finish your rituals meet me directly at the castle of the Silver City."

Three of them were shocked hearing my last statement and asked almost at the same time, "What? What are you talking Luna?" Even Damien's voice was also clearly reflecting his shocked expression. Damien denied instantly and asked in a single breath, "Impossible. There is not even a proper with you and you are planning on attacking Cyrus? Do you even know that how risky it is? You have no idea about the silver city and now especially all the supernatural creatures have gathered there. So, there is not even a 1% chance of winning against them."

I replied in my usual calm tone, "I know that Damien. I am not going to attack but I am going to help Xander in setting him free from there. I am sure that he is there."

Liam agreed with me, "Yes, I also think Milord is there."

But, Damien was still hesitating, "No, you can't go alone like this no matter how powerful you are I will never let you go alone there. It is my responsibility to protect you now. So, I will never agree with you, Hazel. Listen to me."

"I have said already what I wanted and I have decided my next step. You focus on your work. It is your Luna's order," I replied and disconnected the phone. I decided what I wanted to do next so I didn't listen to Damien's denial anymore though I knew he was telling those things only because he cared for me a lot.

Disconnecting the phone, I looked at Liam and in a firm tone, I replied, "Liam, go to all our alliance and ask them to gather and prepare for battle. I don't want to delay we will attack the castle of the silver city by tomorrow evening."

"But, suddenly like this? Without any preparation? It will be risky milady. Are you sure that you want to do it?" asked Galaxy worriedly.

I replied with the same determination, "Yes. We have nothing left here. They either captured or killed our soldiers. Even they have captured Xander. So, without delay, I want to save him. I can feel his bond still now I am sure he is perfectly fine."

"True, I support Milady. It is a do or dies situation. It is either we take action now or there is in no way we can win," Liam replied. I nodded my head in agreement. Without wasting any more time, Liam shifted into his wolf form and then disappeared into the deep forest.

I was standing outside our castle while staring at the back of Liam who disappeared in the deep and dark forest of the night. When I couldn't see him anymore I turned back and sighing I asked Galaxy, "How much time it will take to reach Silver City?"

Galaxy replied after a little pause, "If I shift it will take only a few hours. As long as we will cross the gate of the werewolves of the underworld, we will be able to see the castle. It is so huge and elegant."

I nodded my head in understanding and then replied, "Let's go then. We shouldn't waste time anymore."

Galaxy immediately shifted into her wolf form and then I got up on the back of her huge wolf. I gently patted her head and her neck and immediately she rubbed her head against my hand. Then howling loudly, she started running. Her loud and sharp howling broke the silence of the forest and immediately we heard another howling from far away from us. Galaxy whined slightly then she increased the speed of her running. I was sitting tightly, wrapping her neck with my hands. I clearly understood it was none other than Liam.

It was almost a long hour when we reached near a strange and huge tree. Galaxy stopped in front of it, then signed me to get down. I didn't get it exactly but yet I got down from her back. She took a few seconds to change into a human again. Then looking at me, she explained, "Milady, this is the special door of werewolves to enter the underworld."

I asked in a surprised voice, "But it is just a tree. Where is the door?"

"Let me open the door. It only opens if you are a werewolf or with a werewolf." Then taking a few steps forward, Galaxy reached near special hole near the tree. I was observing her every step with a curious and surprised expression. Galaxy raised one of her fingers then suddenly she cut the palm of her hand with the sharp nail of the finger. Then, she started dropping the crimson drops of blood inside the hole. Within a few seconds, I heard a mechanical sound opening a wooden door and instantly my eyes shifted towards the tree. Surprisingly I saw a gap exactly in the middle of the tree just like a dark cave. Galaxy was done, dropping blood at that time. She taking steps towards the door, stated hastily, "Come inside, Milady. It stays open for a few seconds only and will not open except for werewolves' blood. I nodded my head in agreement and entered inside the dark cave-like door of Underworld.

My heart was beating fast in worry, anxiety, and a light fear of uncertainty. I didn't know exactly how was Xander, was alright or not so it was obvious that without his help I was feeling nervous and was feeling a void in my heart.

I was silently following Galaxy in the dark alley inside the tree. Suddenly, Galaxy stopped then turning her head she whispered in a concerned tone, "Milady, we are exactly in front of Silver city. I will open the door and you will see Silver City. Are you sure you want to do it?"

I only replied after a little pause, "Open the door, silently."
