Chapter 152: The Blank Page Of The Book
There has been no Alpha who has chosen a human as their mate so far. As a result, it is unclear what effect being an Alpha\'s mate will have on a human.
"So, that\'s why Dem did not know that conceiving his child would affect me like this...," I muttered to myself.
If her mate is a normal werewolf and not an Alpha, a werewolf female can easily conceive her mate\'s child. However, it is difficult for a female to conceive an Alpha\'s child unless she also carries Alpha blood. According to the results of the current examination, it is even more difficult, if not impossible, for a human to conceive an Alpha\'s child.
Only a small percentage of werewolves are born with mana. The ones born with mana have fewer werewolf characteristics. They are unable to transform into wolves and have fewer senses than werewolves. When their magical abilities are awakened, they will be able to use them. They must, however, practice in order to use their power.
Since the beginning, there have been five mages who are the most powerful among other mages, much like Alphas. They are referred to as the master. In each kingdom, they maintain a magic tower. The master of the magic tower is chosen through the voting of all other mages of a kingdom. They choose the most powerful mage as the master of the magic tower.
Only the master of the magic tower has the ability to awaken a mage\'s power. A master of the magic tower has the same level of power as an Alpha.
When the black lord became enamored with power, he betrayed the moon goddess. There was a war between them. But none of them were victorious. The moon goddess and the black lord parted ways, the moon, and the underground.
According to legend, as a result of the war, a few werewolves gained the power of the black lord and developed dark energy within them. It\'s known as \'black mana.\'
They are mages as well, but they are known as dark mages. The amount of black mana in a dark mage\'s descendants decreases with each generation. Nonetheless, they are more powerful than ordinary mages and Alphas.
A very powerful dark mage can be as powerful as five Alphas or five masters of the magic towers.
Dark mages were not welcomed due to their extreme power, and they were mostly executed before even awakening their power. Because a dark mage is so powerful, even a weak mage can detect black mana within them. Dark mages, on the other hand, are capable of concealing the presence of black mana, making it difficult to track them down.
The Alpha and his descendants in Querencia have black hair and pale skin. The majority of werewolves in Querencia have pale skin. All werewolves in Lacuna have light brown skin and dark hair. The Alpha and Alpha\'s descendants have silver hair and blue eyes in Ataraxia, while they have blond hair and golden eyes in Trouvaille. The majority of the werewolves in Mazazine have red hair.
Black eyes are extremely rare, but the majority of werewolves with black eyes can be found in Mazazine. Black eyes are referred to as cursed eyes. Female werewolves with black eyes may or may not have much power, but male werewolves with black eyes would undoubtedly have dark power. It is unknown what kind of power they have, but they are referred to as demonic abilities.
As a result, black eyes are not well received and are regarded as a bad omen.
The following page was blank. But then there was more writing after that page. If someone read them all at once, it did not appear that anything was missing. But when I tried to read it again to make sure there was not anything missing, it felt like there was.
"What the? Does Dem know about this?"
It was getting interesting. Why did there have to be a blank page right here? As I tried to show my frustration on the book by turning pages very fast, two drops of blood fell on the page.
I covered my face with my palm. My nose was bleeding. "What..."
It did not happen before. It was not like someone hurt me or something; neither had I got hurt on my nose. Was it because of dry air?
\'I heard dry air can cause nose bleed... But it\'s not that hot today.\'
"Eh...?"
I had not noticed it before, but as soon as the drops of blood fell on the page, writings started to appear on it.
"EEK! What the hell?" I screamed, hurling the book to the floor and stomping on it several times. Fortunately, I did not scream so loudly that Dem could hear me. "I was dreaming... Haha, it was a hallucination. It has to be, haha..."
With shaky hands, I opened the book again and went to the page where the writings appeared suddenly.
"Haa... it\'s real...," I mumbled as I ran my fingers over the words.
What should I do? Should I throw the book away? No, perhaps I would just ask Luc or Dem about this later. So scary...
Welcome, dark mage. The book\'s power can only be unleashed by a dark mage. A dark mage is said to be a cursed being, but they are unaware of a dark mage\'s power. As a result, I, a fellow dark mage, have decided to place some very important and hidden information here for the sole benefit of dark mages.
Black-eyed werewolves have some unusual abilities, such as the ability to read minds and control darkness. The most dangerous thing they can do is absorb another dark mage\'s power by killing the dark mage.
But it can only be done by a black-eyed werewolf who does not have any other ability. Since every male black-eyed werewolf has some kind of ability, it is not possible for them. But the female werewolves with black eyes who do not possess any kind of demonic ability can achieve a dark mage\'s power and use it.
I am writing this to warn the dark mages who are reading this to be aware of black-eyed female werewolves. It is better to get rid of them before they get a chance. Because power can blind anyone and anyone can betray you.
"Black-eyed female werewolf? The only person I know who is like this is Mother... But Mother would not do it. I mean, it\'s true that she is mentally unstable when it comes to her past, but she can\'t possibly do it," I said to myself. "If it was Mother, then it would fit all the puzzle pieces together. But I can\'t bring myself not to trust her.
I mean, she is Demetrius\'s mother after all."
Most werewolves are unaware that a dark mage\'s power can only be unleashed by a dark mage. The more black mana a dark mage has, the more difficult it is to awaken their power. In that case, a dark mage who is more powerful than them can only awaken their power.
However, other dark mages who are less powerful than them or normal mages can sometimes awaken a small portion of a dark mage\'s power.
"Luc knows partly about this," I muttered. He said that a powerful mage was needed to awaken my power. But he did not mention a dark mage. Perhaps he did not know that a dark mage was required and a normal mage would not work no matter how powerful they were.
As soon as I finished reading the page, the words disappeared and it was once again a black page. I even shook the book for some reason, perhaps in the hope for the words to reappear.
The book was helpful in some ways and I got some clues as well. But the clues were leading to the wrong person.
I did not know how much time had passed since I was absorbed in reading and thinking about what I read. With my photographic memory, I remembered every single word. It would not be hard to describe it all to Luc and Dem. Luc was a better option to talk to since he knew much more about it than Dem. But I always talked to Dem about everything. It never felt right if I hid something from him.
But how was I even going to say that I suspected her mother for a while? Dem was not particularly fond of his mother and if I said so, he would possibly interrogate her as well. But what if I was wrong? There was a chance of that as well. In that case, I would be the reason for their relationship to break.
