Chapter seven. DANTE. I ran in speed through the forest, growling and saying cusses to the moon Goddess. How could she play a game with my soul like this, I didn’t ask for another ‘mate’. I don’t want one, not now, not ever. I growled and paused, I changed into my human form, hitting the nearest tree. I yelled as I continued hitting it until a huge dent appeared on it. I sighed, I sat on a huge rock thinking about this new development of my second ‘mate’. I don’t want one, I told you Selene I didn’t want another one, another one that would betray me, my trust and my pack. I will just reject her and kill her, leaving her in my pack isn’t safe. Not only that, but I need to eliminate her to keep me sane and my pack safe. “I know you’ll be here.” I didn’t turn to see whoever it was because I already knew it was Fred. “I told you to stay in the pack, Fred.” I snarled. I stared ahead of the water fall. “I couldn’t stay when I know you need someone to talk to.” He took a seat beside me
ANDREA I was lying on the cold ground of the cell. Lying with dried bones didn’t sit too well for me, but I was tired and needed to rest. My stomach grumbles for the umpteenth time today, and that’s a reminder that my stomach was empty, with the rush of the party last night I couldn’t stomach any food and I thought I would have a chance to taste some food, but who am I kidding. I sighed again and sniffed, I swallowed the tears wanting to come out. I’ve promised myself that I won’t cry, whatever that’s coming my way I’ll accept it, even death. My closed eyes snapped open when I heard the huge door opened, I got up to see who walked in or who they brought in. But imagine my surprise when I saw it was that Fred guy from earlier, I stared at him consciously as he inserts the key and opened the door of my cell. “Come on.” He waved at me to come out. “Where are you taking me?” I asked. I know I just said I’ve accepted death, but I want to avoid dying. I’m too young to die. I took slow s
ANDREA By the time I woke, it was dark. Amy, Emma, and another girl were in the room. I yawned and stretched, I really needed that sleep and I felt refreshed. I haven’t had a good sleep like this since years. “You’re up sleepy head.” Amy said and I blushed. I’m still not used to anyone talking to me, except Sarah. Sarah, I miss her so much. She would be mated by now, and I guess they’ll have their pup soon. “Yeah.” The other girl whose name I haven’t gotten was staring at me. “Andrea, this is Liliana, our other roommate.” Emma introduced, and I smiled at her. “Nice meeting you, Liliana.” She turned her head to the other side without saying anything. Okay, that was weird. A bell rang, and I turned my attention to Emma, who was equally staring at me. “That’s our cue for dinner.” She dragged my hand out of the room, Amy and Liliana followed behind. We got to a huge door, and she opened it and asked me to go in, I stepped in and saw other girls and boys, but mostly girls. There was
ANDREA. I got up before any of the girls, they were sleeping like logs when I took my bath and when I came out, they were still sleeping. I thought they had work to do, I sighed and took a seat on my bed. I wonder how everyone in the pack was doing, especially Sarah. She just got her mate and she will need someone to be with her, someone she can talk to, give all her juicy details about how her night went. But I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for her. Alpha Jason banished me for getting mates to his son, Nicholas. I wonder how he’s doing now, was he still dealing with the heartache and pains of rejecting me or was he searching for a new mate. I sighed again as I stared around the room, I could cope here, do everything they do and make sure not to get into the Alpha’s bad book. I wouldn’t want to be banished for the second time. “Hey, Andrea.” A soft voice called, and I snapped my head to the other side. Nana Gina was standing at the door with her usual friendly and homely smile. When
DANTE’S POV. I thrust deeper into the female wolf I was fucking, God I can’t get her scent from my head. I can’t get her eyes, the way she looked at me from my head. The wolf was whimpering and moaning beneath me, her body writhing in pleasure and I can feel my release building. I growl and nip at her neck, as I come inside her. As soon as I release her, I get up and walk away, needing to get away from her. I entered my bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the cold water pour on me. I scrubbed at my skin, trying to get rid of the her scent, but it was no use. Even after fucking a female, her scent was still on my skin and I felt awful. I can’t shake her from my mind and I know I never will.can’t shake her from my mind and I know I never will. i don’t know why Selene decided to bring me another mate, another betrauma, but I know I won’t be able to keep myself from her. Blaze wants her as much as I do but I don’t want her to make me make the same mistake I did the last time.
ANDREA’S POV. I hummed a song as I picked the baskets of vegetables that needed to be taken to the orphanage. I felt someone piercing gaze on me, but when I looked around, I could see anyone. I shrugged it off as nothing and continued with my task. As I was about to leave, I heard a whisper from behind me.“Andrea, you are early.” I turned around and saw a tall figure standing there. He had a kind smile and a gentle voice, and I immediately knew who he was.“Andrew! It's so nice to see you!” I exclaimed, running towards him, giving him a hug.He hugged me back and smiled. “It's good to see you too, my dear. You have been a great help to us, and we are grateful for that.”I smiled and thanked him, “it's my job and I love doing it.” We’ve gotten close with the few days I’ve spent here in the farm and Andrew is really a nice person. He doesn’t treat me differently from the rest pack members, he treats me like I’m one of them and I’m grateful. “Okay, you’re taking these vegetables to
DANTE. I took the last glance at the file that is the supposed treaty of the crescent moon pack. I scoffed again as i went through the file before tossing it down. I placed my hand on my head and sighed, I didn't like the way that male was staring at Andrea. I don’t want anyone both female or male to stare at my Andrea, she’s mine alone. I clenched my fist and steeled my nerves, I knew I must protect her no matter what. I remembered the way she looked at me this morning, like she shivered in my presence. If I didn’t know better I would have thought she’s feeling the mate bond. But she didn’t have a wolf and her chances of getting one is slim. I sighed again. I’m going through this because of her, she made sure I couldn’t love my mate again and I applaud her because it’s working. I can’t even look at Andrea twice without seeing her self in Andrea’s body, goddess what I’m I going to do?I felt a connection and tug in my mind and I knew someone was trying to mind link me. ‘Alpha, we
THE CRESCENT MOON PACK. Everything was going fine in the pack. Males doing all the hard jobs, females taking care of the pups or cooking, and the omegas getting lashed at repeatedly by the higher wolf. But someone wasn’t too happy in this pack. The Alpha’s House. “Nicholas, are you going to remain in this bed for the rest of your life.” Luna Lily yelled out tiredly. She groaned and ran her hand through her hair. She was getting tired of her sons' behavior, ever since he rejected that ‘mate’ of his, he hasn’t become me himself. She stared at Nicholas, who pay no heed to whatever she was saying and sighed. She sat on the bed and held his hand. “Nicky, please don’t do this to me. You are the Alpha now and your pack needs you, your dad isn’t the Alpha anymore, and yet, he still does all the work for you.” She became impatient when he didn’t move or made a sound. “Nicholas Conan Curtis! You better get your lazy sorry self up from this damn bed right now!” She yelled using her Luna voic
An hour later. We were in the Crescent Moon Pack house, Dante and Fred were already here so we didn’t meet much of their interaction. Nicholas was the first to see me as I walked in, and he rushed to my side, Rae and Alessia in a defensive stance behind me as they saw him coming closer. “Please forgive me, Andrea! I… I had no idea my parents did that to your parents, please, we are sorry.” He begged as he fell on his knees. I stared at Nicholas and looked around if I could see Lilith anywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. My eyes met with Sarah’s and I could see her trying to hold her tears. I nodded at her, and she smiled before taking my gaze back to Nicholas on the ground. “I forgive you, Nicholas. Yes, I forgive you and your sister because I know you weren’t there when that happened, all I need from you is for you to return my father’s pack to me.” I said. He answered quickly before I could even finish my words, “Take it, Andrea. You can take it because it belongs t
ANDREA. TWO WEEKS LATER. Two weeks have passed since little Audrey left us for a better place. The pain of her loss was still there and I blame myself every day for not being quick, for not saving her on time. Hell, I blame myself for coming out of the bunkers, I got to know from the guards placed outside the bunkers that Audrey slipped out when she didn’t see me. She came out because of me because I couldn’t do one thing I was instructed to do. I hosted myself in a pity party and used sex as a way out, for the past two weeks I have been extra horny and wanted to jump on Dante’s bone more than ever. I thought it was because I was still grieving, but it was becoming too much. Dante tried to pull me out of my grief, but it was so hard, it was hard to forget those cute eyes and lips. Those eyes that were always staring at me in admiration…. Now I can’t see them anymore. She was gone. “I miss you, Audrey,” I whispered and then groaned when my stomach growled for the umpteenth time t
DANTE. “You can’t kill her, Dante.” She said after laughing to her fill. My brows raised at what she said, “Do you think I’m bluffing, witch, I will kill your daughter the same way you killed my parents.” I let my claws grow and then positioned them at Estelle’s neck, but Morgana said something that halted my plans. “You can’t kill her because she’s your sister.” She yelled and I froze. I froze where I was standing for some good minutes when I heard that, there was no way that was true, right? That couldn’t possibly be right, there was no fucking way Estelle could be my sister. Fuck! I don’t feel any sibling bond with her, and she doesn’t have a fucking wolf in her. Lycans are special and any family with the Lycan blood has a close bond with their sibling(s) like the way I have one with Alessia, but I don’t feel anything for Estelle so it was pretty clear that she was lying. Everything she was saying was to buy tile, and I’m not falling for that anymore. I stared at Morgan
‘Please save her, Dante.’ I managed to pass the message through the mind link, then took my eyes back to little Audrey, who was still running towards me. ‘Don’t come any closer, Audrey.’ Morgana stopped muttering her spells and I gasped in shock when she took one hand from mine and then stretched it towards little Audrey, and my eyes opened wide in shock. “No.” My heart thundered as I looked at little Audrey who wasn’t attempting to flee from there, and then my eyes moved to Morgana who was still reciting some spell with her hands stretched out. My eyes widened as I saw the spell going straight to little Audrey’s way, I tried to hold Morgana’s hand, but I was far too weak to do anything. Summoning all the strength I could mutter, I yelled, “Save her, Dante, please,” I begged with my other hand glued to Morgana’s. She wasn’t letting this go easy….she promised not to hurt anyone. I couldn’t move with my hand trapped in Morgana’s, my heart pounded as my breath sized. I wat
DANTE. The fight with the dead rogues and witches was both exhausting and tiring, they all didn’t want to die a second time and anytime we thought they were dead they would rise again. All my focus was on the rogues I was trying to kill, I didn’t know where Andrea was, but I could feel she was doing okay through our bond. I was busy fighting with the undead rogue for the fifth time when Jocelyn came to my side, she looked at me and then whispered something in my ear. My eyes widened immediately and when I looked at the other side, I saw Andrea already there speaking with Morgana. She wasn’t supposed to be there without anyone by her side…without me by her side. “Go Dante, I will hold this,” Fred said and I turned to him. I didn’t even know he was behind me. “Thanks,” I looked at Jocelyn who nodded then took off with Jocelyn running after me. Isa saw us and quickly ran after us. ‘Wait for me, Andrea.’ ~~~~~~~~~~ ANDREA. I got to Morgana’s side quicker than I thought and
ANDREA. I looked at Dante who had shifted and was already by my side, he pulled me closer to his warm body. “What is she doing?” He asked. “Dark magic,” I replied. I looked up, and the once sunny sky had turned dark, a strong wind blew out of nowhere while Morgana kept on chanting. My eyes widened when I saw the already dead witches and rogues waking up, and walking towards Morgana…..what the fuck!! Everyone stopped fighting as they watched the dead rising and walking towards Morgana, even the headless witches woke up and walked aimlessly towards Morgana. Morgana had a wide smile on her face as she kept on chanting and calling on whatever demon she was summoning. “We have to do something, Andrea,” Alessia said, coming over to my side. I looked at her and asked, “What can we do? The deed has already been done, we can’t turn back the hand of time unless we have that.” I said, pointing at Morgana. They all shuddered and shook their heads. “What on earth is happening here?”
ANDREA. I couldn’t stay with the women and children in the bunkers, not when my mate and every other warrior in the pack was fighting out there. I wanted to go out there since those witches came for me and I did it, after making sure all the women and children were accounted for, I sneakily left the bunkers without alerting the guards placed outside. When I made it to the battleground I saw the fight already in full swing, the smell of blood that covered the ground from dead witches or wolves hit me. I looked around at the number of her people fighting, trying to see if I could find Dante anywhere, but I couldn’t see him. My eyes met with Fred’s and for a minute, he was shocked to see me standing there. “What the fuck are you doing here, Andrea?!” He yelled, completely ignoring his surroundings. My eyes widened when I saw a witch approaching him from behind. “Watch out.” Out of instinct, I stretched my hand out and the witch's head blew off. Her body slumped on the ground wh
ANDREA. “We are under attack!!!” I froze in where I was standing as my mind comprehended the words I just heard. Under attack again… I woke up from my reverie when something tugged my dress, “We need to leave Andrea. Now!” Alessia didn’t wait for my reply before dragging me out. Although I was following her, I still couldn’t believe that we were under attack, by whom and why? The warriors who were sound and ready to fight rushed out of the infirmary with us also, and while we were heading back to Dante’s pack house they assured me that they would do everything possible to protect the pack. “Where’s Andrea?” Dante hissed, rushing outside and that was only when I came back to my senses. “I’m here, Dante.” I was immediately engulfed in his warm body and he kissed my head. “What’s going on, Dante?” I asked, pulling from the hug and searching his face. “We are under attack, Andrea, and I need you to go inside with the other women. Take your Luna to safety.” He ordered a warrio
ANDREA. “Dante!!” I called out in panic and watched in horror as the witch’s light ball moved quickly in his direction. My heart was beating hysterically as I watched Dante look at the light in both shock and anger, but he didn’t move. ‘Come on, Dante,’ I urged in my mind as I whispered a silent prayer to the goddess. I opened my eyes and saw Dante move quickly to the side, he growled and charged at the witch. I let out a sigh of relief and a tear rolled from my eyes when I saw he was okay. He killed the witch and the two others before facing me, he was breathing heavily, and my eyes roamed around his body, searching for any cut on his body and I gasped when I saw the huge injury on his back. My legs automatically carried me to his side, and before I knew it I was holding his hands, “Are you alright?” I asked, searching his eyes for any sign of pain. But all I could see there was happiness and relief. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Andrea.” He pulled me into a hug and I melted in
