NovelOnlineChapter 158: Chapter 158: A New Beginning
The news spread like fire. By morning, it was on every headline.
"The witch who killed alphas is dead!"
The whole werewolf community buzzed. From the smallest packs to the strongest packs, it was the only talk.
Markets, taverns, council halls... all carried the swhispers.
"They say she lost her life in the Silver Dawn Pack."
"Finally! The curse on alphas is broken."
"The bitch who hunted us is no more."
The words echoed everywhere. And above all, the glory was given to the four Alpha Dusk Draven, the Alphas of
Silver Dawn Pack. The council was already moving to honor them, to praise them highly for their bravery.
The nof the dead witch slid from lip to lip, and all her information was known to the public.
"Her nwas Selene..."
And when that npassed through the crowd, shivers ran down spines. Ssaid it with hatred, others with
fear. But all agreed—her reign of terror was over.
The witch had fallen.
The alphas had won.
One Week Later~
It had been one week since Maximus had uncovered the truth.
Elarliya, the woman he had been searching for, his only hope to learn about his mate, was not just hidden away.
She had becthe Witch Mother of the coven—the very heart of power. The one everyone feared, and the one
he had never expected to see again.
Now, after years of silence, he had finally decided to contact her.
She had not invited him into the coven. That was impossible. No one entered or left the coven without the
witches’ will. Instead, she had given him an address in the middle of human society. A plain house, ordinary from
the outside, with nothing strange about it.
Maximus stood in front of the house, his heart beating fast. He did not know what to expect. Would she help
him? Would she mock him? Or would she turn him away with nothing? His chest was heavy with fear, but also
with hope. Elarliya was the only link left to his mate, Elara.
With a sigh, he pushed the door open.

The house was silent. The door had not even been locked. Inside, everything was simple... plain walls, wooden
floors, a faint smell of herbs. No one greeted him. He walked through the narrow hallway until he saw her.
Elarliya sat in a small room, her chair turned toward the window. Her long hair flowed down her back, shining
under the dim light. She looked the sas she had twenty years ago, untouched by time.
Without thinking, Maximus spoke.
"Do you know where Elara is? Tellif you know."
He spoke directly, without beating around the bush.
Slowly, she turned her head. Her face was calm, her eyes soft. A small, graceful smile touched her lips.
"Maximus. We meet again. It has been twenty long years."
She did not seem offended by his rudeness. Her voice was gentle and almost kind.
Maximus stiffened. His face hardened as he said, "Just answer me. Do you know about her or not? If not, I will
leave."
Elarliya tilted her head slightly. "Is that all? After twenty years, not even a word of greeting?" She gave a quiet
laugh, still smiling softly. "Maximus, is it such a sin to see me? Do you hateso much that you cannot even
look at me?"
His chest tightened. He did not answer. His jaw clenched as he sat stiffly in the chair across from her, refusing to
meet her gaze.
But Elarliya did not stop. Her voice stayed gentle.
"How are you? How has your life been? | have heard so little about you. Why now? Why suddenly decide to visit
Her questions were soft, almost caring, but Maximus only grew colder. His eyes darkened. He refused to reply.
Her smile faded a little. A shadow crossed her face as she whispered, "Am | really that terrible, Maximus? That
you cannot speak a single word to me? If you despisethis much, why chere at all?"
Maximus'’s voice was low, cold. "Elarliya. | don’t have tfor your games."
At that, Elarliya suddenly laughed. Her expression shifted from gentleness to sadness, her eyes gleaming with
unshed tears.
"Games? You think | am the one playing games? No, Maximus. It was you. You played very well."
Disgust flashed across her face.
Maximus said nothing. He only lowered his eyes, his voice tight. "It has been twenty years. The past is gone. |
don’t want to fight with you. Just tell me, where is Elara? | want to meet her."
Her smile vanished completely. She turned her gaze back toward the window. Her voice was flat.
"How would | know? | have never met her."
Maximus froze. His eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean you don’t know?"
She sneered. "Why should | know? Do you think | spend my life tracking others? | don’t keep such habits."
Her face was turned away again, her figure outlined against the window. She no longer looked at him. It was as if
she had dismissed him completely.
Maximus sat there, confused, angry, and disappointed all at once. His chest burned. His mind spun in circles.
How could it be? How could Elarliya say she didn’t know? How could a sister not even have a single clue about
her own blood, about Elara? She had to be lying. She was hiding something. She did not want to tell him.
But why?
Was it because Elara did not want to
see him at all? Or was it because

Always cruel. Why was it so hard for
him to meet her, even once? The

His hands clenched tightly. He could feel the sickness in his chest pressing harder.
Finally, he spoke in a sharp tone.
"Elarliya, | am giving you a chance. Tellwhere she is. How can you not know about your own sister?"
Elarliya turned her head back to him. Her eyebrow lifted.
"You think | am lying?" she asked quietly. "The truth is... | have not seen her even once in the past twenty years.
Not for a single day."
Her words hit him hard. He was ready to argue back, ready to force the truth out of her... because he knew she
was hiding something.
But suddenly...
A cheerful voice cut the tension.
"Mother! You are here!"
Maximus froze.
The door pushed open and a young
girl ran inside, no older than nioetgen.

"Mother, | missed you so much! Why did you suddenly decide to chere?"
Maximus'’s head snapped toward them. His first thought was shock. Elarliya... had a daughter? She had married
and given birth?
But then his eyes landed on the girl's face. His breath stopped. His body stiffened.
Silver-white hair flowed down her
back... just like his own. Her shay

His chest tightened until he could barely breathe.
A whisper escaped his lips.
"Is... she my child?"
