Chapter: Chapter-52Kara’s POV.I was in a room, bound to a chair. I couldn’t move, not even an inch. The door that led to the room was locked from the outside, I could just tell, and I was gagged, so I couldn’t even scream for help. The room was dark, except for a single, bright moonbeam that flitted in from a hole in the boarded-up window. I didn’t know how I got here, or when it had happened, but I knew that it was bad. How could I not, when I’ve been bound so?Then, suddenly, the door started to open. The locks disengaged from the outside, and the door opened with an ominous creak. I held my breath as a familiar shape stepped out of the darkness and into the moonbeam. Behind my gag, I screamed because that man was Derrick. Derrick grinned, and it was inhuman. His mouth stretched far too wide, and his eyes were large as saucers, cracked with red as if he hadn’t been sleeping for a long while. “Told you!” He gasped. “Told you I’d get you back.” And then he started towards me…That’s when I woke u

Chapter: Chapter-51Jade’s POV.After we returned to our hotel room, Derrick cleaned off the minibar while cursing Kara’s name. To help him, I ordered a few more bottles of alcohol to be sent up to our room, and by the time midnight rolled along, Derrick was drunk.Not drunk enough to fall asleep, of course, that wouldn’t do. But he was certainly drunk enough to lose his inhibitions. He’d gone out of steam a long time ago, cursing Kara’s name, and started sobbing for her.It was really pathetic.“How could she just move on like that?” he asked me, voice shaking with tearless sobs. “And with someone like that? She could just make us all believe she’s dead and leave to live a life on her own. Doesn’t she care about the guilt we carry? Doesn’t she think we care?”“I hate what she’s doing to you,” I murmured and rubbed his back soothingly. “Kara doesn’t d

Chapter: Chapter-50Kara’s POV.Derrick was like a man possessed as he tried to hit Axel over and over. Axel again, for his part, managed to dodge some of Derrick’s punches, but one caught him in the mouth and split his lip. He did not fight back, which was smart because that meant no one would see him as violent, and that first punch would be forgiven.Still, I was so angry that I wanted to join the fight myself, but that would not go well. So, I tried my best to pull Axel away from Derrick, while Jade tried to do the same.But then, security rushed in.The burly men in uniform managed to pull them away from each other in record time, and Derrick hurled expletives at everyone within reach. The security guards tried to calm him down, but he didn’t listen to them. Instead, he tried to break off from their hold and rush at me.People were filming the whole thing with glee, and everyone recognized Derrick. That meant this would definite

Chapter: Chapter-49Kara’s POV.I didn’t really want to go to the Conference Conclusion Celebration, or the CCC as everyonecalled it. It was supposed to be a party that was just a tad less glamorous to be a gala, but extravagant as well.After everything that happened because of that blasted conference, I honestly wanted nothing to do with it. If I hadn’t been there, then Derrick wouldn’t have seen me. If Derrick hadn’t seen me, then he wouldn’t have fixed on me. Although Terra assured me that everything was alright, that Derrick hadn’t said anything in protest and Whitney Conglomerate had gone so far as to apologize and refuse the refund, asking Terra to take it as compensation (a bribe, actually, to make sure we don’t go to the media with Derrick’s misdeeds), still, I felt paranoid, like it wasn’t really over.“What if he decides to come too, Axel?” I asked my friend at lunchtime when h

Chapter: Chapter-48Jade’s POV.The ring on my doorbell was unexpected on a weekday, so when I heard the sound, I nearly flinched.I’d spend the whole evening internet-stalking Derrick Whitney, trying to see if he had truly moved on from me and what happened with Kara. I had been dreading the day he found a new girlfriend, because that would be detrimental to me.After Kara’s death, Derrick started to unravel. He looked at me with suspicion, and it seemed like he was finally understanding what I’d done to distance him from his wife. He didn’t know what exactly I’d done, but he’d guessed some of it, and no matter how much I tried, I could era the suspicion from his eyes.So, in the end, about a month after Derrick and Kara’s villa went up in flames, Derrick told me that he couldn’t stand to be with me anymore. Apparently, it felt like a slight against Kara’s memory.Like, it was already to cheat on Kara with me when she was alive, but it was only a slight after she died? It was absurd. I tried so hard to

Chapter: Chapter-47Derrick’s POV.“Harassment, Derrick?!” My grandmother screamed as soon as she stormed into my office. I was already sporting a headache, thanks to the board meeting I’d just attended, and I didn’t have the patience for my grandmother’s dramatics.“Grandma?” I exclaimed. “Why are you here?”“I’m still the majority shareholder of this company, so the board deemed it necessary to get me involved, because this affair pertains to the image of our company. If this woman decides to go to the press with the story of what you did, it’s not just you who’s going to be in trouble, but all of us! Which leads me to my initial question. Derrick, what possessed you to make you do this kind of thing?!”“Can we not do this right now?” I asked, but it was pointless. If anything, that question made her angrier.“No, you gave up that luxury the moment you decided that it was appropriate to treat a young woman you paid to do a job in this manner.”I bit my tongue to keep myself from blurting out that I had

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

Chapter: 318. DefeatTheonI can’t process half the things that are happening as I stand outside the little circular room, trying and failing to get in.One moment, Callista is being choked by the devil, and the next moment, in the place of Callista, stands a majestic white wolf! 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. I witness the whole scene as if it’s unfolding in slow motion.As Callista nears the devil, whose shadows are closing in on her to consume her, a flash of blinding white light erupts from her, filling the room with a glow akin to the sun.I shield my e

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

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.

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

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
