The Untamed: Game of Hearts - Chapter 173

Raine weakly walked inside her room. As soon as she was inside, she shut the door closed, slumping to the floor as she leaned her back on the door.

She was speechless with the revelation that Tyrone had just given her. She didn’t know what to say after hearing all of his confessions that she just ended up walking out on him without saying a word.

A wry smile emerged on her face, followed by a sarcastic laugh.

“Hahahaha…”

She laughed like an insane person, cackling by her lonesome as tears rolled down her cheeks. She honestly didn’t know what to feel about it all. Should she be glad or sad with Tyrone’s confession? She was way too conflicted to even sort her emotions out. Everything just became way more complicated than it should be.

Being the mutant that he was… It was already a complication in of itself… Added in with his real identity, it only made things infinitely worse. She didn’t know how long she stayed unmoving on the floor, staring absentmindedly at the direction of her balcony. She was glad that Tyrone didn’t come to her since she wanted to be alone for now. It was already hard enough to try and clear her head out as it is.

By the time she finally pulled herself together, it was already dark out. Her eyes widened at seeing the moon. Alarmed, she rushed out of her room to look for Aire.

“Aire!?” she hysterically cried.

“Mommy?!” Aire, who just got up from bed and out of her room, answered.

Raine immediately hugged her and whispered, “It’s not a blue moon, Sweetie.”

“Yeah, I guess the calculations are wrong and there’s been a mistake. Nevertheless, I’m glad to see that half-moon in the sky. Hehe!” Aire chuckled, patting Raine on the back as she muttered, “Mommy. Too tight. I can’t breathe.”

Hearing her, Raine immediately let Aire go before bending down to kiss her the forehead as she whispered, “I’m so glad that we can spend more time together, Sweetie.”

“Mommy, did you cry? Your eyes are swollen,” Aire noted with a frown.

Raine smiled and shook her head as she replied, “Ah, I’m just glad to see you not disappear. Are you hungry? How about we go to the dining room and see what Daddy prepared?”

Aire nodded, and the two walked towards the dining room where Tyrone was preparing the table. Raine let out some air, avoiding Tyrone’s gaze as she focused more on guiding Aire to her seat, sitting beside her on the table.

“Wow, so many meats!” Aire enthusiastically gasped, drooling at the myriad of steaks on the table.

“Dig in, Aire,” Tyrone said with a wink,

Aire began eating as soon as Tyrone filled her plates with the meats that she loved. He also put food on Raine’s plate, though their eyes cleary avoided one another. None of them spoke. Mostly, they focused their attention on Aire alone.

“Daddy, did you check the forecast for when the next blue moon will come?” Aire asked in the middle of dinner.

“Yeah. It’ll happen within this month, Sweetie,” Tyrone replied. “They were sure of it. I guess it’s only the exact day that won’t be reliable enough. Let’s just wait for it.”

“I hope it’ll be delayed for a bit more,” Aire giggled with a grin.

“Aire, how come I’ve never seen the Voyager’s Watch on you?” Raine curiously asked, still avoiding looking in Tyrone’s direction.

“Oh… I’ll show you, Mommy,” Aire excitedly said as she then showed Raine her empty palm.

After what seemed to be a few seconds, the Voyager’s Watch appeared. It was a vintage circle watch with no numbers on it. It was made of pure gold, almost looking more more like a pocket watch without a string. However, what caught Raine’s attention was the design in the middle… the crescent-shaped moon.

“It will bind to the user, so I can hide it and show it to anyone whenever I like,” Aire explained.

“Like Magic?” Raine gasped.

“Hmmm… I’m not sure, but I guess like magic, Mommy,” Aire commented with a pout.

“Carlos had said that there were many around the world who bore the mark; those that could use the Voyager’s Watch if they were desperate enough to do so. So I guess that explains why we can hide it like this from others unless we’re not good enough to handle the Voyager’s Watch by ourselves. You can give it to them, or they will force you to give it to them it… Some said that some even killed each other to gain possession of it…” she narrated.

“Wait, Carlos knows about it? The Mirage Historian?” Raine asked, Aire, nodding with an awkward smile. “You two knew each other This whole time?!”

To her chagrin, Aire nodded once more. Raine couldn’t believe how the two of them acted on her face that night!

“Sorry, Mommy. You see… Hmm… I need to keep a lot of things from you. Carlos knows any and every detail about the watch,” Aire murmured as her gaze turned to her Daddy Tyrone.

In this era, the Voyager’s Watch was with Carlos, and the man was simply waiting for her father to get it. He wondered when her father would meet Carlos for it, however.

Another bout silence broke out, a silence that Raine shattered by saying, “Tyrone, you need to go back to country D with Aire tomorrow morning.”

“Huh?!” Both Aire and Tyrone gasped. That was too sudden.

Raine finally looked at Tyrone. He could feel her cold gaze boring through his eyes as she spoke, “The mole should’ve already arrived at the Moon Clan by now. I want you to look after her. Not one of my squad members could do that at this time since they’re all busy with they’re own tasks. I will handle Yera from here, so please go back with Aire to country V and make sure that things are working as planned so we can secure Xander’s safety.”

“But…”

“Don’t question my instructions, Tyrone,” Raine authoritatively stated, her firm tone standing as a stark contrast to her former behavior. “Enough with the leisure and let’s get back to work, shall we?! Or would you rather me have someone replace you as my right-hand man? Do I need to remind you of our stipulations?”

Aire gulped as her eyes flitted back and forth between both of her parents.

‘What did I miss?’ the little girl confusedly thought.
