Chapter 65 : Finding the Second Piece

Soren curled around me and then shifted into his wolf form. He stayed curled up next to me, keeping me warm through the night.

I couldn’t believe I’d done that! Sure, I had wanted to know what Soren felt for me but seducing him wasn’t the right thing to do for that. He’d been the one to suggest we go for a run in wolf form but I was the one playing with him.

I closed my eyes and curled up into the soft fur of his wolf. Leaning into his warmth, I felt better but I still couldn’t believe what I’d done! Taking a deep breath, I started to feel tired.

Soren’s deep breaths made it sound like he was asleep but I didn’t think he was. I clung to his fur and nuzzled against him, trying to relax enough to sleep.

The necklace that held the Moonlit Crystal felt heavy around my neck suddenly. I grabbed it and the pendant warmed my skin. Quickly, I opened the box and dropped the crystal in my palm. It hummed heavily and got warmer.

It glowed strangely in my hand and I held it up to the moonlight. The weird glowing light didn’t change. It was like the glow was coming from inside, not reflecting off the outside.

“Soren,” I said, shaking him slightly.

His wolf snorted and lifted his head. I held the crystal out so he could see.

“Look at this. The crystal is glowing. It keeps flickering and… well, I think it is trying to show me something,” I said.

The majestic, dark wolf snorted again.

“Think about it. You’re the one that said my mom left clues for me. What if part of finding the artifact requires locating the pieces in a specific order? The Moonlit Crystal could have been the hardest one to get, with the traps, because it leads us to the next pieces,” I guessed.

The wolf nodded in agreement.

“I bet this will lead us to the next piece,” I said.

I stood up and held the crystal in my palm like it was a compass. I moved my hand around. When it flickered, I made the same motion again and the stone flickered the exact same way.

“Come one, we have to go this way,” I said, pointing down the border between the two territories.

Soren stood up and shook off. He made a small growling sound and nodded to his back.

“Right.”

I climbed onto his back and grabbed the fur at his neck.

“I’m good, let’s go,” I said. “I’ll tell you where.”

Soren huffed and started jogging. His gait was lumbering but I held on with my knees and with one hand. The crystal stayed in my palm and I watched for little flickers.

“Left, go left,” I said, pointing.

Soren started to turn and I yelped, grabbing his fur.

“No, right! I mean right,” I said. “I’m sorry.”
