Chapter 640
Otto was seated at his desk reading through the forgotten language and drawing back on his map.
He hummed as he worked.
He very gently placed his inked quill on the paper with every landmark he came across.
“Old wolves Cemetery.” He mumbled to himself as he read the translation and drew small grave stones on where the constellation had led it to.
He sighed to himself as he leaned back.
Was this a mere coincidence that Jasmine had dreamt about the Drasil tree, seen the leaf in her palm and somehow, the book had been written by someone in the distant lands.
He had never been to the distant lands.
The one place he had truly wished to go.
He shook his head as he leaned back in his seat.
He was stuck on one more part of the book to complete the translation of the map.
But he couldn’t simply figure it out.
He swore to himself as he rubbed his eyes.
Now he dreadfully wished Jasmine was here to assist.
He frowned looking around.
Now that he thought about it, she wasn’t here yet.
He sniffed around the untidy room.
She was supposed to be here by now.
Otto considered going back down to the pack but changed his mind.
He wasn’t really friendly with other members of the pack.
He liked to mind his business and he wanted everyone to.
He looked at Xaden’s mother’s Journal, Luna Kristy, sitting at the far edge of the hall dead book shelf.
Otto sighed to himself and rose up from his seat to head to the bookshelf.
He picked open the book and began to slowly unravel the bindings around it.
Soon, he was flipping pages after pages going through it.
He leaned against one full pile of scrolls and books and read through the pages.
He was missing something!
There was something he couldn’t place a finger on and whatever it was he needed to find something in it.
He read through the last pages of the journal.
“I’m worried about Aiden, worried about what he desires to use it for when he finally finds it”
Otto read through the pages gradually.
He had heard about Aiden during his travels.
Unfortunately his name had been drowned out by his younger brother Bale.
The first son of the Moonlight pack.
He was supposed to be Alpha and yet somehow Bale had ended up being Alpha.
Aiden had been a prominent name amongst all the other Astronomers.
He had been one of the few who had decided to walk away from power and become a full astronomer.
A name looked down in disappointment amongst Alphas but amongst learned men like Otto and the rest, he was someone they could look up to.
But Aiden had simply up and vanished without a trace.
The last known sighting of him was returning back to the Crescent pack.
After that there was absolutely nothing.
Otto didn’t trust the story.
IN fact nothing made any sense.
Why connected to Jasmine?
What did she have to do with any of this?
A red wolf?
Unshifted and somehow found herself in the middle of everything.
It was too blizzare for him to comprehend.
He kept on trying to read through over and over but still nothing.
He became frustrated and yelped annoyed.
He flung the book with it any intention to and it landed on the floor.
He leaned back against the desk breathing hard as he ran his fingers through his hair.
He sighed to himself and looked up in the air.
This was the one thing that could prove he wasn’t insane.
This map was a door to the other side.
The one thing all astronomers dreamt of finding any yet nothing.
He glared at Kristy’s journal and frowned when he saw a paper piquing out.
He walked up to where the book was and flipped it over.
A paper fell off.
A paper he had not sent from the first day he had read It.
Was this book filled with mysteries?
This was the second hidden excerpt he had now seen.
Except this wasn’t a hidden page.
It was a ripped out paper.
Folded and hidden so well inside the book that you would never have noticed unless it had been violently mishandled.
He set the book under his armpit as he began to open the page.
His fingers trembled as he opened it.
His heart racing.
And sweat drenched on his forehead.
He sighed heavily wondering why this was making him anxious.
He opened the page and the same handwriting filled in Kristy’s journal reflected on the paper.
He read aloud.
“Aiden would be leaving for the Moonlight pack. It makes me sad to see him go. Orion is delighted because he is worried we have something when he is simply a friend. Perhaps I would be delighted if he was simply retiring back home but he would be headed for the distant lands with his brother to handle new crisis. Who shall be my enthusiastic friend in astronomy now? Selene protect him. Perhaps little Xaden would be when he grows.”
Otto froze, his fingers vibrating in adrenaline.
“FUCK!” He swore.
That was it!
Aiden and Bale had gone to the distant lands!
How come no one knew anything about that?
And then it hit him.
It all led to the distant lands!
Perhaps Aiden still lived in the distant lands.
This was what Jasmine needed!
Finding her family!
He was her uncle and would lead her to her mother’s family at least.
And Bale could help him complete the map it was what would solve their problems
And he Otto?
He would finally find his way to the other side.
He would prove to everyone that he had never been crazy.
Prove to them that his wolf had not gone rabid for now damn reason.
From day one he had always been right.
It was what they both needed!
For the first time, he rushed out of his room down the stars in search of Jasmine.
