Andrea. I was so excited, today was the Blood Moon pack mating ceremony and I can’t wait to see how their things are done. After my dream and search which wasn’t productive, I met with Isa who couldn’t understand the dream fully, but she just told me to wait patiently for my time. Eliza has been a good companion and wolf these past weeks, and I can’t help but thank the moon goddess; this is actually the first good thing she has done for me, and I’m grateful. And I also want to thank the Alpha for making me a member of the pack, a little ceremony was held after my birthday to make me a member of the pack and although the Alpha attended, he didn’t stay for long. And speaking of the Alpha, he has been acting weird these days, and he wouldn’t let me get close to him. It was like my presence spiked him; he wasn’t the only one, though. I sometimes wish to be in his presence, to inhale his sweet scent and rub my hands on those hard abs. I’m a fool thinking about that, but I can’t help i
ANDREA. I moaned as I let myself give into the kiss, it was still like a dream that I was kissing the Alpha and the best part was that he was reciprocating. I moaned into his mouth again as he deepened the kiss, he pulled out after some minutes as we took deep breath in our lungs. “What are you doing to me Rea?” His voice was soft and husky. He trailed his hand on my soft cheeks. I blinked my eyes innocently at him and bit my lip, He groaned and made to kiss me again, but our moments was interrupted when a throat cleared. We quickly pulled apart from each other and I felt my cheeks flushed. I looked around and saw everyone staring at us with disbelief. Mostly the females, they were looking at me with disgust. I took my gaze back to the Alpha but paused when I heard him groan and cursed lowly as he put some distance between us. He stared at me disgustingly, no rather he glared at me like some dirt. I stared at him trying to know why he’s acting this way, but I couldn’t find anythi
DANTE. I cursed at myself as I walked out of the hall, I didn’t want it to happen that way. ‘You made mate cry, Dante.’ Blaze growled in my head. ‘I had to do it, or do you want me to reject her instead?’ I asked him. ‘You shouldn’t have said those things to her, now she’s mad at us. Eliza wouldn’t talk to me.’ I sighed but didn’t say anything. ‘This is all your fault, Dante, and you must make things right between us.’ He said and moved to the back of my mind. “Fuck!” I growled and punched the wall hard until my knuckles bled. The image of Andrea staring at me with glossy eyes entered my mind and I groaned. ‘I didn’t mean to hurt you, Andrea, I was just scared. Scared for my people and myself, I don’t want history to repeat itself.’ I muttered to myself and say on my chair. The door opened with force and Fred barged in, I knew what he wanted to say, and I was expecting them. “Really Dante? Did you have to do that publicly, huh? Why did you reject her, Dante, tell m
FRED. I barged out of his office in anger, how could he do that to his fated mate? He’s opportune to meet his second chance mate, and he wouldn’t cherish her, fine I know what his first mate did was wrong, but that isn’t enough reason for him to reject his second mate. He doesn’t know what it feels like to be mateless, he doesn’t know what it feels like seeing other males getting their mate, but you couldn’t get your own. I growled and hit the nearest tree in the forest, why haven’t I met my mate? There’s nothing more painful than seeing others getting their mates while you are not getting yours, not even a glimpse of her. I stared at the moon and whispered, ‘Why wouldn’t you give me my mate, someone to love and cherish me? Why are you punishing me?” “Just give me a sign, a sign to know that my mate is still alive,” I begged, and after looking at the moon for some time, but the sign was not coming forth, I signed and ruffled my hair. Footsteps came from the other side and I bec
ANDREA. Dread filled me when I realized it was just the Alpha and me in the same room. Different thoughts flooded my mind, what if he kills me here and hide my body so no one would find out? What if he rejects our bond and sends me out of the pack? He wouldn’t do that, would he? ‘Stop making useless assumptions dummy and say whatever you want to’ Eliza growled in my mind. Right, I have to hear what he has to say about our bond. “Are you going to stand there staring at my face the whole day, or you will say whatever you want and get out.” The Alpha’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I blushed. Gosh, I didn’t realize I was staring at him the whole time; well, not like I was directly staring at him, but…. ‘Snap out of it, Andrea.’ Right. “I….,” I cleared my throat and said a little prayer to the moon goddess to give me a little courage. “I came to ask some questions, Alpha,” I said, folding my hand under my boobs. His brows raised as he stared at me and asked, “What qu
DANTE. I stood where I was baffled at what just transpired; did she just ask me questions about our bond? “I made it clear last night that you aren’t my mate, same with the kiss,” I said, looking at her, and I was surprised to see the once shy and quiet omega standing her ground. “Lies. You felt the pull towards me. That’s the reason you came to me Alpha, there were different ladies at the ceremony, why didn’t you just pick one and kiss her? Why me? And please say the truth and nothing but that.” Her questions really made sense, but I didn’t reply; I scoffed. “Are you questioning my authority as the alpha of this pack? I took you in rogue, so you better know your place.” I snapped. I wouldn’t allow her to question my authority, no one does and I don’t care if she’s my mate. “That isn’t the answer to my question Alpha, you can’t just walk up to me, kiss me, and tell me you kissed me because you felt like doing it.” She glared at me, not minding my outburst just now. “I don’t
THE CRESCENT MOON PACK. NICHOLAS. It has been a month since I picked some other female as my chosen mate and also my Luna. The feelings I felt with her weren’t the same as the ones I felt with Andrea, my fated mate. These days, I couldn’t understand what I was feeling. There was this guilt that coursed through me whenever I thought about Andrea and what I did to her, and every night her crying face when I rejected her haunts me in my dreams. I no longer had any peace of mind as only the thought of her was in my head, and Mum had to bring a witch to the pack, so I could have a good night's rest, but that didn’t seem to work. Anywhere I look, I see Andrea there, and I sometimes remember the little time we spent together as children. I still can’t remember what happened to her parents; I could remember Mum and Dad going with them to some official meeting, but they didn’t come back, the pack was distressed during that period, and I was the only one who comforted Andrea. And that
ANDREA. After searching for Fred for some minutes, we finally saw him in the training arena and I smiled; just the place I wanted to be. “Hi, Fred.” He stopped punching the scarecrow kind of man and looked at me. “Luna, What are you doing here.” He asked. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it back when nothing came out, wait a minute did he just call me ‘Luna’ “Why did you call me that?” I asked, and he smiled. “You are the Alpha, our Alpha’s mate, so that makes you our Luna.” “Not yet.” I agreed. “But soon.” I glared at him, but he just chuckled, he stopped when he saw Alessia standing behind me. Come to think of it, Alessia isn’t known to be quiet, so what happened between them? Hmm, something is definitely fishy and I must find out. I nodded to myself and stared at her, she had a distant look like she would rather not be here. “Hey, Sia,” Fred said, and a forced smile that didn’t reach her eyes graced her lips. “Hi, Fred.” I couldn’t stand the awkward mo
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
