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: 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-66Kara’s POV.I woke up with a pain in the back of my head, and panic overtook my mind, because it felt a lot like the time when I woke up in a hospital after surviving a house fire.Fortunately, though, this time, I didn’t have any vision problems, or at least, I didn’t think so. It was hard to be certain thanks to the possible painful concussion I had, and since I was in a dark room.But when I finally calmed down, I realized that I couldn’t move.Even though I wasn’t much of an outdoors kind of girl, I knew how a rope felt. I was seated on a chair, which explained the pain in my neck and spine, and I was tied to it.Oh, God. Even before the memories finally came, I knew what was happening.“Where am I?!” I cried out. “W-who are you? What’s going on?! Help!”“Boss lady, she’s awake,” a voice said before I could work myself into a full panic. It filled the silence of the dark room. It was a male voice with some sort of regional accent, and the voice echoed. “What do you want to do?”“T

Chapter: Chapter-65Kara’s POV. My realization made it harder to live with Axel, but at the same time, I didn’t want to leave him.It was just so fun living with him, even when my heart was constantly yearning for him. He did his level best to take my mind off everything that was happening to me, and took it upon himself to educate me on all the movies that he thought I needed to be educated on(because I wasn’t that much of a movie fan and being in the orphanage was not conducive to keeping up with all the best releases of the decade).I found out that while he was many things, a good cook he was not, so I took it upon myself to teach him. That led us to cooking dinner together whenever we weren’t too tired and ordering takeout.Being with him was comfortable. I didn’t have to think twice about my thoughts with him; I didn’t have to worry about being mocked or called stupid when I said that I didn’t understand something. I didn’t have to watch my every move so as not to offend him.And more than anythin

Chapter: Chapter-64Kara’s POV.I couldn’t sleep.It was somewhere between five and six in the morning, and I had given up sleeping after spending the night waking up from nightmare after nightmare. Every time I closed my eyes and slipped into sleep, the various demons of my life came to torment me. Unknown strangers ransacking my home, Jade threatening me, Derrick obsessing over me, stalking me and making my life hell…all of them were in my nightmares.It took me a while to get used to waking up in a strange room every single time. I’ve never stayed over at Axel’s house before, although I had been there multiple times. Axel’s place was classy, but homy too.Like, it could look like it just materialized out of a Interior Design magazine if not for all the personal touches Axel has added, like his luxurious red leather couch, all the weird ornaments, collectibles and whimsical gadgets he’s got hung up on walls and placed orderly on shelves as well as all the other things that added a special Axel touch to

Chapter: Chapter-63Axel’s POV.I basically raced to Kara’s apartment when I got the call.My heart was racing the whole way, and I couldn’t believe it. Everything had been so normal when she left, and because she left with her neighbors, I hadn’t even been worried about her security. When I got her call, I thought she’d dropped her keys or something.But no. Her home had been broken into.I hated the fact that Kara’s happiness had been destroyed just like that. She was barely holding back tears when she called. I’ve never heard her so scared, not even when she’d been accosted by her ex. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact she was still not fully sober, but still!As if it wasn’t enough for her to have gone through so much trauma before coming to Newport city, life had to be cruel to her yet again.When I arrived at her apartment complex, I made my way to her neighbor’s home, where she was staying. It wasn’t the same ones who joined us to celebrate but a kind old lady who always invited us to te

Chapter: Chapter-62Kara’s POV.The door was open.When I inspected the lock, I realized that it had been broken.My lock was broken, and my door was open. Someone had broken into my home while I was away.I scrambled away from the door and rushed to find the security guard in charge of my building, Malcolm.“Malcolm!” I cried out as soon as I found him, pacing the length of the ground floor. As soon as he heard my voice, he turned, ready to greet me. But then he saw the expression on my face.“Miss. Brady, what’s wrong?!”“You need to come with me right now; someone broke into my apartment!”Malcolm was quick to follow through as soon as he heard this. He got his gun and called upon the other security guard, Grady, and the three of us went upstairs to my apartment. Throughout the trip, they swore that they were watching CCTV footage the whole time they were in the security room, and no one saw anything suspicious. My building had pretty good security, so I was inclined to believe them.As soon as they s

Chapter: Chapter-61Kara’s POV.“To Jesse!”The whole room cried after Axel, an entire bar room filled with people I didn’t know from Adam, half of them dancing just a few feet away from us and sloshed to their cores.I didn’t even know if any of them were aware of who they were toasting for, or what they were cheering for! But still, they gave it their best, and hearing so many people chanting my name, even if it was the fake one, made me laugh with happiness.I didn’t know I could feel so much joy.There was a whopping fifteen grand sitting in my bank account, transferred just that morning. As per our agreement, Sean’s gallery took about 30% of the revenue generated per painting. Normally, galleries would take about 50% but not Sean Hammon, who cared more about giving budding artists a platform than filling his own pockets.Amateur paintings like mine normally went for less than $ 3,000, but somehow Sean had managed to sell mine for $ 8,300, which was mind-blowing. I had no idea how the man managed it;
