Chapter: Chapter: 84Brooke.The sound of the chipping birds fills the quiet morning air; it is something at 11:00 pm in the morning which is odd to hear at that hour. I slowly open my eyes, but the sharp sunlight makes me immediately close them. My hands search the bed, frantically searching for Alexander. I immediately open my eyes. A small frown settles on my face as I realize he is in the room. I can’t feel his presence in the room. Just as I'm about to stand up, I feel a sharp pain from down there, making me yelp in pain.“Is everything okay?” I heard Alexander, running towards me as he placed the tray he was carrying on the bed, concern written in his face, his eyes gazing at me intently. Amidst the pain, my eyes quickly glance towards what he places on the bed. It is a thick steak, sizzling and juicy, served alongside freshly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and a pile of roasted potatoes."I just felt a sharp pain down there," I murmured shyly, my eyes avoiding his gaze. I twist with the drawstring of m

Chapter: Chapter: 83Brooke As soon as Carter dismisses me, just like some piece of trash, I can't help but feel a surge of emotions in me. I look around the hall for Alexander, but I can’t find him, or he has already left. Tears trickle down my face as I walk down the hallway, immediately cleaning it off. I can't afford to allow anyone to see me in this state, not when most of them are in support of his actions.As soon as I get into my room, I crash on the bed, pouring out my heart. Ever since Maddox died, I knew things would change, and this is part of it. I can't control things because I can't remember my memories.“You know, crying won't solve a thing, Brooke.” I hear that familiar voice, making me flinch in fear.“When did you enter?” I ask, after confirming who it truly is. Alexander.“I've been here, even before you came in, I just had, sitting right on this chair. But it seems your emotions were too much for you to notice me,” he says, standing up gracefully from the chair while I sniffle, embar

Chapter: Chapter: 82CarterThe meeting dragged on far longer than I expected, but I forced myself to maintain composure. Elder after Elder approaches, offering congratulations and long-winded advice about my reign. Beside me, Brooke stands quietly, her presence a calm yet firm reminder of her unwavering support.As much as I wish I could send them all home with a simple wave of my hand, I know that’s impossible. Custom demands this moment—an endless parade of formalities to mark my first day as Alpha. It feels like an eternity before the Elders finally begin to disperse, their murmurs fading into the background.“Brooke, you can leave now,” I say, my tone firm but not unkind. “We’ll catch up later.”Without hesitation, and saying a word, she begins to leave. I know whatever it is that I have done might have made her hate me, but it is just for her good. Alexander is a bad guy, and I want to keep her close to help her. I went to Naza, my guard and most trusted confidant, my mind racing at the business of

Chapter: Chapter: 81Brooke.“I believe we have unfinished business, Alpha Carter,” the stranger says, their gaze flickering to me. “And it involves her.” Silence fills the courtroom as we all anticipate what is happening. What is happening? What does he mean by ‘involves her’? My breath catches in my throat as a chilling realization dawns. Whoever this person is, they’re here for me. And whatever they want—it can’t be good, not with this dangerous-looking aura.“What do you want from her? And who are you?” Carter says, rising from his throne, his eyes scanning between the audience and him, a flicker of fear fills his eye, but it is quickly suppressed with pride.“Carter, you seem to have forgotten me so soon, don't you?” The voice asks in between his hysterical, dangerous laugh that fills the whole room, creating a sense of dread in me. Whoever this strange man is and why he wants me, he seems to be a dangerous one, with his face still masked.At this point, I can't help but notice something strange abou

Chapter: Chapter: 80Brooke.“I would love to invite Brooke forward. Brooke will be my Beta and the Beta of the Lunar Legacy Pack for my reign,” he announces; gasps ripple through the crowd, their surprise evident.“What do you mean, Brooke is your Beta, Alpha Carter?” Elder Abeltro’s voice slices through the stunned silence, his face a mask of disbelief.“Do you have a problem with Beta, Elder Abeltro? I selected her because I believe she is capable…”“Capable? Really? For someone who doesn't remember most of her memories?” Elder Abeltro snaps, anger flashing in his tone.His words strike a raw nerve, but I bite down the surge of pain they invoke. He’s not wrong, after all. My fractured memory is a weakness. Still, his doubt stings—especially when voiced so publicly.“How dare you say that in front of me, Alberto?” Carter growls, the tension in the air getting higher, and immediately Abeltro steps backward, bowing his head. “Don't forget that I'm the Alpha here, and I know what is best for the pack.”“I'

Chapter: Chapter: 79Alexander I glance at the Mirror, looking at myself for the last time before leaving the room. One thing I hate is being late for any occasion, not for today's special occasion.I walk towards Brooke, hoping she will be ready, she has never been late. I can't help but recall the conversation between her and Alexander; she has told me about it, and I can't help but feel ashamed and utterly disappointed in Carter. “Hi, Alex,” I hear Brooke’s soothing voice, calming the emotions I'm feeling while she places a kiss on my lips.“Hi,” I say, looking in uttermost surprise, waves of flutter inside of me.“I'm ready,” she giggles, turning around for me in her flower gown.I can't help but gaze at her from head to toe. She looks stunning, her smile adding more light like a warm sunrise. Her hair is properly packed, and her eyes hold a sparkle that seems to pull me in, leaving me captivated.There's a grace in the way she carries herself, confident yet gentle, as if she knows the world is watc

Chapter: Chapter-79Kara’s POV. “So, what do you think?” I asked Sean, who looked very much impressed with my painting as soon as he walked into the room, and I revealed it to him. He just stood there as if he’d just been struck by lightning, mouth agape as he watched the painting before us. After showing the painting to Axel yesterday, he suggested I call Sean to show it to him as he poured us both a glass of wine on his kitchen counter.Intuitively, I thought against displaying this particular artwork in Sean’s gallery because I felt that it meant more than just some paintings that I created whenever I felt inspired. This one was different. This one is for me. This one had a meaning. But as I sat alone and gave it another long thought, I realised the world deserves to see it, appreciate it. And try to crack the meaning of it. So picked up my phone and called Sean. Lucky for me, he said he had heard about what happened to me from Terra and was going to come by the house later to see how I was doing

Chapter: Chapter-78Kara’s POV. I thought I was losing my mind. After returning from the shopping spree, I’d tried my best to be as cheerful as possible. I hated that Axel always blamed himself for everything that happened to me. I know what I saw on that street. I saw Jade Black walk on that pavement and I saw her smile at me. I couldn’t have mistaken. But as I sit now at the tip of my bed, I start to question myself. Did I really see Jade walk out of that store and smirk at me? Or was it, as the doctors had concluded, my mind playing tricks on me, using the events of the past to haunt me? Two days later, I finally convinced Axel to leave the house and not remain here, leaving all his work outside this house idle on my account. This morning, I made sure to send him back to work while I have the house to myself. Also, because I knew I had some self reflecting to do. I kept repeating everything the doctor had said in my head. Only I can decide to let all this trauma go. And that is why I’m walking int

Chapter: Chapter-77Axel’s POV. Once I heard the shattering glass on the floor, I knew something was wrong. But as Kara’s shrilling scream follows it, I turn around quickly to find her clutching her ears, pink paint shattered in patterns at her feet. She’s shivering by the time I get to her, as if she had seen a ghost. When I turned around and saw her grabbing her hair and forcing her eyes to the floor, I dashed to hold her without a second thought. “Kara,” I call softly and try to hold her hands, but she pushes me off, flinching away from my touch. I stop for a moment, finding her movement strange. She never pushes me away. But as if she had thought I was somebody else, she looked back up at me quickly, her eyes meeting mine and shattering me. They had fear in them. After many years of knowing Kara, I don’t think I've ever seen this side of her. Scared. Terrified. The Kara I know has always been a strong, independent woman who wouldn’t stand nonsense and wasn’t afraid of anybody. “Axel….” She murm

Chapter: Chapter-76Kara’s POV. Axel’s mother made sure we had a good time before the crack of dawn the next day. Terra called Axel in the late hours of the night, wanting to discuss business, and as soon as the day broke the next day, Axel told me about a business he needed to attend to urgently. What got my heart fluttering after we arrived in the city was how Axel kept to his word. He never left me out of his sight, even when he needed to meet with Terra for some business, and I demanded that I stay back at the house. And as I sat in an empty office watching Axel and Terra talk about business on her conference table through the glass walls separating us, I realized how calm my life has suddenly become since the kidnapping. Everything seems so quiet and peaceful now. I haven’t heard back from Jade, as Axel had predicted, even from Derrick, to my surprise. Derrick would usually be calling me by now, either proposing one business partnership or another in his attempts to get me back under his wings.

Chapter: Chapter-75Kara’s POVI stand up with an urgency and hurry over to him. I’ve seen Axel angry many times before but nothing like this. I’ve seen him upset many times when Derrick harassed me, or when some companies I tried to partner with tries to use me and take advantage of me, but nothing like this one. Whatever just happened is bigger than what I’m used to. “Axel, what happened?” I ask frightfully. Axel looks from his phone’s screen that has gone dim, lights out to see me. Goddamnit Axel. I’m losing it by the second. Every second he just stood there looking at me without saying a word was throwing me further and further into edge. Is he gonna tell me what happened or not? Or do I need to smack it out of him? “Axel, what’s going on?!” I add more octave to my voice. “It’s…… it’s my mother, Kara,” he stammers incoherently, my heart hammering in my chest, “She had a heart attack.”I froze as the words hit me and instantly go from worrying about him to pitying him. I knew Axel has never been

Chapter: Chapter-74 Kara's POV. I woke up to the shrill sound of something frying from the kitchen and the tantalizing aroma that came with it. I squint my eyes as I try to adjust to the brightness of the room. The room seemed too bright for morning, and for a moment I actually wondered what time it was. Afternoon, perhaps? I finally pry my eyes open to the morning brightness seeping into the room through the open window. I groan tiredly as I try to sit up. Then a big smile crosses my lips, accompanied by a vibrant blush that stains my cheeks because my mind did a quick thing where images of past events flash through my brain like lightning. The image of Axel seated on the edge of this bed as he tended to me while putting me to bed, his hands gently caressing my skin and hair, flashed through my eyes. I get off the bed after getting myself away from my thoughts. Axel's room is extremely flashy, and a bed too wide for a man living alone, in my opinion. But Axel has the

Chapter: 322. EpilogueCallistaTen years later.I stand in front of Lily Lane Pup Daycare after ending my workday at Rexellen University, holding a stack of books in my arms trying to shove them into the backpack I’ve taken with me.It’s three in the evening, and the kids should be out in a few minutes.It’s summer again, the weather is pleasantly warm, and everything brims with life. There are bees flying everywhere, suckling nectar out of the numerous fully blossomed Leanderrs.The Rexellen pack town is as busy as ever, with people bustling around after clocking off from work, going on their errands, and their outings.Everyone seems happy, and they’re open and very friendly.Upon noticing me, everyone who passes greets me with a simple.“Good evening, Luna!”“Good evening to you too!” I always greet back.Some parents stop by near the daycare to collect their children, and we start pleasantly conversing with each other.I’ve been the Luna Queen of the Rexellen pack for ten years now, and honestly, those

Chapter: 321. CeremonyCallistaFour weeks later.I walk down the shoveled path with a single lily flower in my hand, a smile on my lips, and my heart overflowing with joy.I’m dressed in an ankle-length, heavy-set gown that accentuates my form as if it had been sewn with me in my mind.It’s a silverish white in color in accordance with tradition, and a million tiny rhinestones create spiraling patterns all over the skirt. The long sleeves and the woolen cloak that accompany them give me warmth on the cold winter night.On my neck, there is a white gold necklace with a diamond as the pendant, the only piece of jewelry I wear, which is a gift from the witches who'd arrived a day before to celebrate the ceremony.The mating ceremony for Theon and me.In the background, a string quartet, comprised of two maids of the Rexellen pack castle and two guards, plays a tune that I can't quite name but can’t help but think is so apt for the situation.On either side of me, my closest friends whom I consider my family s

Chapter: 320. Gift, not CurseCallistaA week later.Valencia Everhart was sentenced to life in prison by the Supernatural Council for assisting the devil in his criminal endeavors such as kidnapping and harboring a werewolf, orchestrating a pack takeover on the orders of the devil, attempted killing of two pack members of the Rexellen pack and the biggest crime of them all, assisting the devil in massacring the entire Galdine pack.I thought the last one was a bit harsh because Valencia never really did know about that charge, but as Valencia had confessed in the court, she’d given the devil the location and information regarding her pack.She had been under the impression the devil was going to protect the Galdine pack from Theon’s retaliation against the pack takeover, but she’d been lied to.We attended the court on the same day as Valencia did, and I’m sure that the cries that ravaged her as she learned the horrible fate that befell her pack would never stop haunting my nightmares.I felt sorry for her, and a

Chapter: 319. AfterlifeCallistaQaetanya and Xaveraq reached the afterlife together.One was willing, the other was not. One sacrificed herself, while the other, well, I had to kill the other.Xaveraq’s soulless body lays in the circular chamber, and I don’t look at it again as we exit the room, both of us still in wolf forms.I feel numb as we stumble out of the temple as soon as possible after I release the devil’s and the deviless’s souls into the gateway.None of us speak, although I could feel everyone except Theon patiently waiting for the right moment. They look stunned as we walk through the doorway. For a moment I’d been afraid the doorway wouldn’t be present because of it being only shown with the blessing of a devil and all, but fortunately, it stands.As soon as we all exit the temple doorway, it starts to shudder. And then the most bizarre thing happens.Numerous high-pitched screams ring through the air, and greyish white mist starts to shoot from all directions towards the doorway, getting su

The wolf shimmers as if she were the Moon Goddess herself in wolf form, stepping down from the moon to aid us in our time of need.But when the wolf looks at me for the briefest moment and howls in ecstasy, I realize that this wolf is no Goddess.That’s my mate!After months, no, years, of agonizing, Callista has finally found her wolf.But then she turns towards Xaveraq and leaps towards him with no hesitation.My scream deafens my own ears, wondering what the hell she was doing.

Chapter: 317. AmazedQaetanyaHer wolf is beautiful, reminiscent of the first wolfwoman I met in the forests of Gaul all those years ago.She is larger than most wolves, were-creature or otherwise, and when she stands, she cuts a majestic figure, even in the confines of the squat, circular room. Her coat is a silverish white, and it glistens as if it was created by moonlight, as if the Goddess molded the wolf herself.Her emerald eyes shine as she stares at Xaveraq in confusion, and amazement, stunned to her very core.She can’t still process that after years of hope and dream, she’d finally transformed into her secondary form.I had watched her wolf grow from a pup to an adult within her as I was trapped in her mind ever since she was born. Throughout the three thousand years I’ve been with Callista’s bloodline, I’ve witnessed hundreds of pups being born within the babies, but never have I seen a wolf as beautiful as this one.Even I was in awe when she first appeared, sleeping soundly, growing along wit
