Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

It felt like I was falling down a glass tunnel. I could see glimpses of my life, flash across its mirror-like surface.

It was as if my life was playing before my eyes but in a reverse model.

I could see the incident with Beck, my moments with Ryan, the days spent before that, me getting kidnapped, my first meeting with Ryan, my struggles with my dad, my miserable college life, followed by my school days. It kept going back and back till I saw myself as a baby in my dad’s arms, in the same cave where he was murdered.

And the moment that flashed after that were those of me getting taken away from my mother, who was lying unconscious in a hospital. Beside her was a man, who held her hand fondly. Definitely a spouse or a partner. The father of her child who was getting elated and was being congratulated for becoming a new father.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

So, the man I loved my whole life as a parent, was my kidnapper?

Luckily, I wasn’t in a state to feel any emotions and it was much easier that way. It was so much better. I thought I had seen my entire life flash before my eyes but I was wrong. It did not end there.

It continued and I was watching a battle scene.

It was me in Ryan’s arms, smiling at him as he sat, bent over me, crying a river.

Wait, was it me or was it Sherizad.

At that moment I realized, Sherizad and Sherry, we’re nothing different. I was Her and she was me.

I was the controversial werewolf Alpha queen, reborn as Sherizad, or Sherry, the human. It was the same soul, breathing in my chest, with a different body and a different flesh.

I saw the mysteries behind my death. The reason I sacrificed myself, unlike what Ryan thought. I had never betrayed him or his pack.

I saw our best moments together.

I saw Tristan, Midnight, my father, mother and the rest of my clan. I remembered everybody. I remembered everyone.

And that included Helos. It didn’t take me long to realize that Beck was cursed as well when he entered Helios’s cursed land.

I felt sorry. I felt a sense of remorse.

Though I wasn’t supposed to feel anything.

But my heart was burning with regret. I had left Ryan all alone to face Helps. I had taken an innocent life and I had taken my own life when Ryan needed me most.

It made me want to stir.

It made me want to kick at the glass walls and crack it open.

I was feeling a tremendous pull. I wanted to go back.

And just like that my body turned and I found solid ground.

I found myself standing in a place that was completely white.

There was no starting or end. It was like an infinite space, absolutely spotless.

” Hello… ”

I tried calling as I took one tiny step forward at a time.

But my voice bounced right back at me.

As I stood moved, suddenly a lot of doors popped all over the place, taking me by surprise.

And then a very very deep voice spoke.

” Well… well! What do we have here? A soul that doesn’t want to go. ”

A soul? Was that what I was?

” I have some things that need urgent care. ”

I was trying to be brave but in reality, I was feeling very scared and inferior.

“You do realize that in life all our choices have consequences and the same applies for death. Your choices will have consequences and carefully think about it and tell me what it is that you want. ”

Honestly, I had no clue about what I was being told.

” What consequences… ”

I dared to clarify before giving an answer.

” You, Sherizad are at the crossroads between life and death. You can choose to cross over and start anew but if you choose to go back, you still might need to come back and fulfill some obligations before this life of your’s officially ends. If you do not want to bother with those obligations, the River Styx is right beyond that door. Just one sip and you would be free of all duties and guilt. ”

The voice concluded.

” And what kind of obligations might I ask? ”

I dared again but this time I guess I ran out of luck.

” There is no way of knowing. You will have to come back the moment you are summoned and you wouldn’t be able to leave until your obligations are fulfilled. You only get to know when you are given your tasks. ”

I was wondering what a narcissist sort of system it was that led our way to the afterlife.

” You need to hurry up and decide. The clock is ticking and time waits for no man. ”

The voice seemed annoyed.

I took a deep breath.

My mind was already set. I knew I needed to get back to Ryan at all cost, no matter the consequences. He needed me. Only I was aware of the true nature and intention of his vicious foe.

” I want to go back. I want to go back to Ryan. ”

I said.

” Very well! Let me tell you the process of it. You will be branded at the back of your neck. But the mark will be invisible to the rest of creation. Only you will be able to see it. When it triggers, you will know that it’s your time to return.

Oh! And one more thing. Since you crossed the bridge between life and death already, you know the riddles of your last and present life already. This has lifted up the curse that was laid upon your soul by darkness. You will now enjoy your abilities and identities from both life. You will be able to choose which life to lead. ”

The last part almost choked me.

” What do you mean? Am I now a werewolf? Will I get back my werewolf abilities? ”

I could feel my voice cracking from excitement.

” Precisely. But you will be like a baby who learns to walk for the first time or rather like a patient who re-learns to walk after surgery. You need practice to harness your long forgotten abilities which were lying dormant in your subconscious mind. ”

I had no clue what he meant by it but I would feel my chest bloating up with hormones that were happy.

I wasn’t sure how that was happening.

I was still a soul, wasn’t I? I had no body.

Or did I?

….

And then I opened my eyes.
