“You! What do you think you're doing?” She squealed, her eyes wide as she scrambled backwards in a panic. He didn't stop and instead, backed her up until she was sandwiched between the wall and himself. His hand grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against him before leaning down till his lips was level with the her ear. “What do you think I'm doing?” His voice was a deep baritone that made her tremble. Her face flushed as she felt the signs of her arousal. He stuck out his tongue and lapped at her earlobe making her tremble and whimper. “Of course, I'm trying to get closer to my Luna.” With that, he didn't wait for her to say her usual protest of “I'm not your Luna” before he captured her lips in his, kissing her till her knees turned to jelly. Laila Reeds felt like her life was the happiest it could be and that nothing could go wrong. Her Alpha loved and cherished her. Her pack was flourishing and she was happy. But good things always come to an end. Laila suddenly finds that everything that her world was built on were lies and what she thought was love was only a ploy to get something from her. Shattered and condemned to death, she thought she wouldn't make it. But then he came. With his silver hair and violet eyes, he descended and killed her enemies while saying “Who dares to touch my mate?” Even with this, Laila wasn't moved as her heart was already dead. “Dead? Her heart is dead? What a joke. Watch how this Luna doting Lycan nurses her heart back to health. Soon, her heart would be beating again and it will be beating only for me.” he proclaimed with a confident smile.

Blood. Blood was everywhere. As soon as I pried my swollen eyes open with all the strength I could muster, that was the first thought that came to my head. I also felt immense pain and agony tearing at my head but that couldn’t even begin to compare to what I was feeling in my lower abdomen. Groaning weakly, I used all my strength to look downwards and what I saw left me horrified and if not because I was too physically drained to do so, I would have screamed my lungs out. First off, I was naked, without even a shred of clothes to cover my body but that was not what got me going insane. Instead, it was the fact that my stomach had been cut open and blood as well as some of my innards were spilling out in copious amounts. It was a jarring sight and the fact that I was not dead left much to think about. I began panting erratically, my whole-body trembling as the scene before me sent my mind into utter chaos. Just when i had almost sunk into my craze, I froze in shock when I noticed something. It was subtle and if I hadn’t squinted to get a better look, I wouldn’t have noticed but I did. At a rapid speed visible to the naked eye, the large and gruesome gash on my stomach was closing up on its own. Even my previously spilled guts seemed to be pulled by a force and it was entering my stomach again. It was healing? The hell? Throughout my existence, I have never heard or seen anything like this. Wolves never self-healed and only after treatment could even a small cut be closed much less a gash as big as this. I was an omega so even if this wanted to happen to anyone, it couldn’t have been me as I was anything but special. What the hell is this new ability and why did I suddenly gain it? By the time I was able to extricate myself from my thoughts, I noted much to my shock and relief that asides a hideous scar, there was no trace of the previous wound. I also found that all the weakness and fatigue I previously felt had all but vanished into thin air and I could move my limbs more agilely and freely. Confused, I pushed myself up and then to my feet. I would have continued to dwell on it but my mind was pulled towards my surroundings. I furrowed my brows when I noted that I was in the woods, one I couldn’t recognize. What the hell happened? Why was my body like this? Where was I? I wracked my brain as I tried to recall anything but all I could remember was eating dinner with Damien, my Alpha and husband. Whatever. When I get back, ill be able to find out from Damien about why I’m here. I’m sure he’s growing panicked looking for me. At the thought of my husband, a smile finally appeared on my face. Damien was my everything as well as my knight in shining armor. As an omega, I had faced quite a lot of bullying and discrimination and the fact that I was but an orphan in the pack didn’t help matters at all. If not for accidentally meeting Damien, the Alpha heir of the pack back then who turned out to be my mate, I might have not survived till now. He had made me his wife and although he was cold at times, he never let me suffer at all. He was all I could ask for and more and we have been married for three years during which Damien had eventually taken the Alpha position and I, Luna. Wait! I could vaguely remember that I wanted to tell Damien something when we had dinner together last. I was even very excited about it. I frowned as I tried to remember what it was but I was not able to no matter how I tried. Shivering from the cold air touching my bare skin, I shook all those thoughts away and decided to think about it when I was dressed and back in the pack house where it was way warmer than this. It took a while but I was now standing in front of the pack manor and thankfully, I was dressed although in clothes that were two sizes shorter than me. I had thankfully met a healer in the woods who had gone to pick herbs and she had kindly lent me her clothes and directed me to the direction of the pack, although with a peculiar gaze. Not like I had any choice as anything was better than the dignified Luna of the Raven Pack prancing around stark naked. I noticed though that immediately I entered the pack, although the pack members greeted me, there was no respect and their eyes held an odd glint but I decided to put it asides as nothing was more important than getting home. There were no guards at the entrance so I just walked in, noting to myself to have Damien investigate that matter as soon as possible because if I could just walk in, an enemy could too. I had barely entered the house when I heard music and laughter echoing from inside the main hall. I frowned and paused my steps but still made in that direction. “Congratulations Alpha and Luna. The little prince sure is a striking image of his father. I’m sure he’ll be even more outstanding.” A male voice I found unfamiliar commented and laughter run out. Alpha and Luna? Little Prince? I scrunched my face into a frown as I wondered what the hell I was hearing. A feeling of unease engulfed me and I quickened my pace just in time to hear a female voice that made me involuntarily shiver speak with laughter. “Great Elder, you have a keen eye. Its true that my little prince is a splitting image of his father. Honey, do you think so too?” My head immediately began throbbing as vague flashes of images continuously appeared in my head. I pressed my head to my forehead as I swayed and then tried to steady myself. Groaning in discomfort, I bowed my head as I tried hard to piece together these memories and when I finally did, my heartbeat stopped. My eyes shot open as I finally remembered why that voice seemed so familiar to me. That was Fiona, a woman who had come to our pack a month back, who Damien had introduced as his friend. My heart began pounding violently in my chest when I also remembered that she was in fact the reason for waking up in that state. She had drugged and kidnapped me and then for months, she confined me to a cellar in those woods where she tortured me to the brink of death everyday but never actually killing me. She kept telling me that I deserved to die for taking Damien from her as he was originally hers. For months, she kept me confined to that place and I never saw even a shred of daylight. The memory of the time she cut me open emerged and I trembled violently in fear. The psychotic woman had forced me to stay awake all through the time she cut my stomach open with a dagger and I felt every shard of pain. I felt like there was something important that I was forgetting but I didn’t have time to dwell on it when I heard that evil woman speaks up again. “Alpha, aren’t you going to answer your Luna?” her voice was tinged with a bit of childish whining. Listening to her words, the feeling of unease from before returned in full force and I quickened my pace to the main hall. I already had an inkling of what was happening but I didn’t want to believe it until I saw it with my own two eyes. “Be good, Fifi. Of course, our child looks just like us.” I got to the entrance of the large hall just in time to hear those words come from the man, I had taken as my everything. I stood there in sheer horror as I took in the scene before me.Laila POVStupid mate bond!I huffed as I walked down the corridor barefooted holding the heels in my hands, trying to find the room my baby was in.The moon goddess needed to rethink her decision, I didn't want a new egotistic mate, I wanted my old one.I titled my head a still life painting of a swan looking at me. I had seen it as we walked by.I was moving in the right direction.I turned the corner and paused in my tracks almost bumping into someone.Kayla I think.Kieran’s sister.She was only nice when her brother was around without him; she was a vicious tigress.“What did you say to my brother?” she asked.I straightened. “What?”Her painted lips curled. “Don’t play innocent. He looked furious after leaving the Seer’s chambers. What did you tell him?”I almost laughed. “He was the one who started it, but you won't believe me because you don't like me”Her eyes narrowed, scanning me like I was dirt tracked into her palace. “I know your type,” she said. “I don’t like you. I do
Laila’s POV“I don’t have any powers,” I shook my head, taking a step back.“I won’t argue with you but it won’t hurt to check” Kieran encouraged and my lips twisted to the side as I considered my options.This might be a way to find out what was going on with me and if she confirms I have no powers Kieran would let me go.“I’ll take my baby with me,” I agreed, about to turn but his next words brought me to a halt.“You’re too dependent on that thing.”My stomach twisted at his choice of words. “That thing is my child,” I snapped. “It’s not bad to care for one’s child. Or did your parents never show you care at all?”The second the words left my mouth I wish I never said them. Despite his attempt to act like the words didn’t matter his eyes said otherwise. I turned away quickly, ashamed of hitting a wound I hadn’t meant to touch.Biting my lip, I looked towards where my baby laid. It would only be for a while.“I’ll go without him,” I conceded, taking a shaky step forward before balan
Laila's POVWhat was I doing wrong?My eyes burned from exhaustion. I had been up all night, rocking, shushing, and nursing my baby trying to make him stop waling.It wasn't hard to question your sanity when everything you did didn't work.His little mouth latched on my left tit sucking tentatively. This was the time I got the opportunity to relax.He must have tired himself out after all that crying but my moment of peace was disturbed when I heard a click.Then another and I watched the door push open.I braced myself for the silver-haired woman again, but it wasn’t her.It was Kieran.I froze, my breath catching in my throat. Immediately, instinctively, I turned my body away from him, shielding my bare chest and the baby who still whimpered against me. My cheeks burned with embarrassment.“Please leave,” I hissed. “I need privacy.”He didn't respond but I could hear his footsteps coming closer in my direction.“I have something to speak with you about,” he said.I clenched my jaw.
Laila’s POVMy breathing was heavy as I ran with everything I had in me. My lungs burned, my legs screamed, but I didn’t dare slow down. This might be my only chance to escape that madman. I held my baby tight enough not to drop him, but loose enough not to strangle him. I darted blindly through the massive halls.I wasn’t thinking, only running looking for any sign of the exit.I didn’t know where the palace was located but I had the belief if I just kept moving, if I just kept going, maybe I’d find my way back to Damien’s pack. Like light at the end of the tunnel, I saw double doors ahead, my chest tightened with relief. The exhaustion I felt melting away as I threw myself forward, pushing against the heavy frame, and they creaked open just wide enough to slip through.On the other side was a staircase. My stomach dropped. The staircase spiraled upward in grand, sweeping arcs, leading higher into the palace. This wasn’t the exit, but it was open, and I didn’t have time to search f
Kieran’s POVThe moon goddess didn’t hold back on the drama when she created these creatures.There was always a problem with them, but I must admit I had never met one this indecisive and infuriating.Every word she said affected me in ways I hadn’t imagined possible.What type of woman would have gold in the palm of her hand and throw it away for plastic? There wasn’t a she-wolf breathing who wouldn’t pray for an opportunity like this. She wasn’t special, she was just stubborn as hell.Everyone had a price. I just had difficulty figuring out what hers is.Maybe she was the type who wanted a ring to justify her being with me. She’d be sorely mistaken if she believed I would be obliged to a pretentious doom disguised as marriage.“I reject your rejection, Laila Reed,” I sneered while trying to keep my wolf in check. She didn’t know how dangerously close she was to bringing the beast out of me.For the sake of her child, who had done nothing to me, I had to make her see reason.Her li
Laila's POV I wasn’t one to believe in miracles but how could I ignore what was before me?My lips trembled as I whispered, “No… this doesn’t make sense.” My brain refused to accept it. With hesitant fingers, I pulled down the blanket, and the mark on his neck stole the breath from my lungs.Where they had strangled him to death.My arms tightened protectively around him, and a flood of emotions surged through me, ones I couldn’t even begin to describe. “He was… dead,” I choked out. “I… I know what I saw. I know what I held. His body was cold. I didn’t make a mistake… Or maybe I did.“You healed him,” Kieran uttered, startling me. For a moment I forgot he was in the room. I whipped my head toward him, my hair sticking to my damp face. “That’s impossible,” I whispered, shaking my head furiously. “I have no powers. I’ve never had powers. I couldn’t…” My voice dissolved into a sob.“I saw it, Laila. I watched it happen. Before you passed out you breathed life into him. Right before I
