Present: 2023Nina was lost in sleep and her dream world, when she felt someone hit her at the back of her head. She jerked up awake because of the pain and muttered an “ouch”.“Wake up you lazy brat, who do you think you are to do as you please? A queen?” The familiar sharp voice of Ms. Clara prevented Nina from rejoining her dream world.Nina groaned frustratedly as she got up from the bed, glaring daggers at Ms. Clara.“You have two minutes to get dressed and join the girls outside to start the day's work” she thundered.“Yes, Ms Clara” Nina responded flatly.“You better don't let me come back here to check on you…” Ms. Clara warned.“Yes, Ms. Clara”After Ms. Clara scoffed and walked out of the room, Nina sighed and sat down tiredly on the bed. She looked around the small dimly lit room that was full of bunk beds.‘Those wretched girls, they couldn't even wake me up’ she thought, flaring with anger. She had slept very late the previous day because she had extra chores to do and co
Flashback: Year 2011“Thank you Alpha King Rogan for honoring my request for this meeting. I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances” Uthar said as he offered his bruised hands for a handshake.“It's alright Alpha King Uthar, I hear your pack has been continuously attacked by rogues…” Rogan asked even though the evidence of the war was quite obvious with Uthar's bruised skin and the rumble that was left of the pack due to the continuous attack. The whole pack was on fire and they were barely hanging on a thread.Uthar chuckled dryly, he was an alpha king seeking help from another. He was not happy about it but he had no choice at the moment because for some reason rogues wouldn't let them be. These rogues were strange in the fact they didn't look sick and were twice as powerful, at this rate, the entire pack would be completely wiped off if nothing was done. Hence the ass licking…“Yes, Half the pack is already dead, and the buildings have been reduced to nothing. These rogue
Back to presentNina gulped nervously as she made her way to the pack house where she would be meeting Alpha King Rogan. She was dressed beautifully like a princess but her mind was distant. Her heart was in pain even though her much-awaited eighteenth birthday was here, all she could think of was her boring caged life with Alpha King Rogan. If the unmated female wolves knew what she was thinking, they would definitely cough up blood in anger. They would all kill to be in her position but here she was feeling miserable about it.Forget about being the Luna, they would be willing to bear the Alpha's babies for free.“You may go in, Alpha King Uthar is inside and Alpha King Rogan is on his way” Ms. Clara said with a smile at Nina as they arrived at the entrance of the hall. Ms. Clara's kind attitude was in sharp contrast to the woman Nina had known for years as a wicked and heartless witch. The other day, she mocked Nina and asked if she thought she was a queen but here she was now,
Nina's heart hammered wildly in her chest as if it would fly out any moment, she couldn't form words even after Alpha King Rogan got up from her, his naked form in all its glory.“Luke! My clothes” Rogan ordered.A boyish man with sandy blonde hair walked up to Rogan and gave him his clothes. He sent Nina an empathetic look that jolted her awake and she got up to her feet as well. Her face unconsciously flared up in embarrassment as she saw Rogan put on his clothes. She faced the ground instead like there was something interesting to look at there.“There's no need to feel shy, mate. You will be seeing this a lot more often. Luke, take her back to the pack. I will join you guys in a few minutes, I need to discuss some things with Alpha King Uthar” Rogan instructed.Luke was about to say something when Nina cut it sharply, “No, I will follow you to your pack. I don't want to be a breeder for you” she said with crossed arms and a frown.Rogan looked at her and smirked, “That's not your
Alpha King Uthar greeted Alpha King Rogan at the front of the pack house with a nervous laugh, “I'm sorry about Nina, she's still young at heart and is yet to see the world” he said. If Nina had been here, Uthar wouldn't have thought twice about punishing her for embarrassing him in front of Rogan. He didn't expect her to try to run away.“It's alright, she's an interesting little mate” Rogan commented with a slight smile. He was intrigued by her twelve years ago and she still captured his interest twelve years later with her persistence on freedom. But adding to the fact that she was his mate, he wasn't going to acquiesce to her request anytime soon.Alpha king Uthar could of course not miss the smile on Rogan's face, “Mate? She's your true mate?” he asked in shock. To think that that useless girl was Rogan's mate, if he had known he would have been more hospitable to her. He could guess that was why Rogan was interested in her all those years ago.“Yes. Anyway, our deal has finally
Rogan's ears pricked as the distant sounds of pursuit sharpened their grip on his senses - the rapid footfalls that thudded against the forest floor like heavy hammers, the low growls that echoed through the trees like a primal symphony, and the fluttering heartbeat of the prey, a frantic drumbeat against the backdrop of the night. The dim moonlight filtered through the canopy of trees, casting ominous shadows across the forest floor. A damp, earthy scent permeated the cool night air, a stark reminder of the primal world he was about to enter. His wolf, a creature of instinct and power, stirred restlessly under his skin. Responding to the primal call, Rogan closed his eyes, surrendering to the transformation that would unleash the beast within. A ripple coursed through his body as muscles tensed, bones rearranged themselves, and skin yielded to a coat of thick, velvety fur. Rogan felt the power coursing through his veins, his bones cracking and popping like thunder as they adjust
Alpha Rogan stood before her. Her mate, the man she had thought she would outrun forever before she was caught in a trap by the menacing beast that almost hurt her right before she was rescued. Although she didn’t know what the creature wanted from her, but it did jeopardize her desperate attempt to escape.His transformation from beast back to man was complete, and Nina felt a wave of relief wash over her. As soon as her small hand touched his, Rogan sucked in a sharp breath, startled by the sudden warmth blooming in his chest. Gently, Rogan lifted Nina's exhausted body into his arms. Holding her so close filled him with a surreal yet undeniable longing to protect this woman.With Nina safely in his arms, Rogan turned and headed back towards their home, his wolf instincts still on high alert, but his heart filled with the warmth of his mate's presence. Nina, nestled against his chest and felt a surge of strength return to her body, knowing that she was safe with her mate, the alpha w
CHAPTER 8Usually, for werewolves, the forest is meant to be a safe haven. The air and overall atmosphere of the forest had a calming effect. Although the forest might smell like damp moss, rain, wet tree trunks, flowers and, the occasional, animal faeces—it was nature, a place of rest.But for Nina, the forest seemed like a cage. One she had consciously stepped into. All her sense were heightened as she tried her best to hide in this cage. Any spot that seemed secluded and hidden, she dove straight into it.A dark and grimy cave was cleverly hidden under an edge by nature. It was a small but deep cave. It’s entrance was covered with wet leaves with sponge-like mosses on them. There was a strong stench of damp moss in this area as the entire vicinity outside of the cave was covered with it.This was the perfect spot for Nina to hide. It was a place that was close to the Mountain pack house. Too close. But Nina had already reasoned that she couldn’t and wouldn’t get far with her condit
FIVE YEARS LATEROld Sage Hati believed she had seen it all. From the dark to the bright side of the world. She was a wandering sage who went from place to place, never remaining in one place for too long. She had gone almost everywhere in the Lycan and Werewolf realm.What was she? A Werewolf or a Lycan? Old Sage Hati did not care for such. She believed that they were all descendants of the Moon Goddess, what was the reason for their dumb labels?Old Sage Hati had basically seen it all. There was not much she expected from this shrewd world. Not much could shock her.Or so she thought.A few years ago, news spread far and wide about the peace pact that would be made between the Werewolf realm and the Lycan realm. She was shocked. She thought that these two factions would be at peace, but it seems that wasn’t the case?Months after the news, she heard of the unity between the two realms. Years later, the two realms had basically reunited. With Lycans mating with Werewolves and vice ve
The battle was over and it was time for them to regroup and go back.But just because the battle was over didn’t mean that everything was sorted.“Nina…they….?” Rogan asked trembling slightly as he stared at the triplets in front of him. He felt like his world had just made a backflip.Nina smiled softly at him.He looked back at her with shock then looked back at the triplets in front of him. The triplets were also staring back at him weirdly.Rogan glanced at the birthmarks on their chests and then he looked down at his own chest. His heartbeat sped up.The birthmarks were identical.Even without seeing the birthmarks, Rogan could see his younger self in the triplets. He immediately understood what had happened and yet, at the same time, he could not comprehend it.Nina could understand how he felt at that moment. Finding out you have three fully grown children all of a sudden would definitely be overwhelming.Rogan looked at her, he seemed to have so many questions to ask but didn’
Nina felt lightheaded as she woke up. She felt a strange elevating feelings. Her body felt light as she suddenly experienced a sudden surge in strength. She sighed blissfully at the feeling. A whole new load of information flooded into her head at the same time. Nina was enlightened.As she regained consciousness. She heard the various gasps and voices around her.“M-mom?”“W-what’s happening?”“This light…?”“Step back a bit and give her some space, she seems to be waking up.”Nina could recognize the last voice as Luke’s.Soon, she opened her eyes to reality.Rex, Jax, Axel, Luke, and Coby—who seemed to have joined the group at some point—were around her. They were all staring at her in shock. She sat up on her own, completely rejuvenated and healed.The triplets Involuntarily teared up as they watched her sit up. At first, they wanted to rush up to her and hug her but they restrained themselves. They stared cautiously at the place where she had previously been stabbed. It was clean
Nina was tense as she walked through the all-white space with a frown on her face. She didn’t know where she was not how she had gotten there but for some reason, she kept on moving forward, eventually, she encountered a door. She hesitated slightly before opening it. The door seemed to have a vortex-like suction as it soon sucked her in.Nina was now standing in a warm and cosy room. It was layered with multiple animal skins. There was a bed in the middle that looked soft. There was a small sitting set beside the bed. The set had a table covered in wool, surrounded by two chairs that were adorned with soft rabbit fur. The atmosphere of the room was so warm that soon, Nina’s tense muscles relaxed. She looked around the room and found a small baby cot at the side. She curiosity walked up to it and Inside the baby cot was empty. But for some reason, she felt the warmth from it. There was a very familiar scent lingering in the air as well.‘Where is the baby?’ Nina thought as she looked
In the dungeons,Nina’s triplets and Agnes were ready for the arrival of the guards.They had no idea about what was happening on the surface, all they focused on in that moment was escaping.Soon, the guards burst into the dungeon.“Let us hurry up and kill these bastards! We need to bring up their bodies to destroy those bastards’ morale.” The lead of the men ordered as they got the key to the cell.“What about the woman?” Someone asked.“We kill her too. There is no use for her.” The lead said.His words successfully shocked the inmates of the dungeon.Killing them? They were going to die now?“What the hell are you guys going on about!” Rex screamed with rage. The guards had not opened the cell yet but they were about to.This was a different outcome than they had expected.‘Rex, do not aggravate them! Something must have happened on the surface. We have to change up the plan a bit. The outcome is still the same, we have to escape either way.’ Axel’s mind linked his brother and tr
Nina exhaled after the deed was done.Ariel, the sorceress was gone. The villain who had turned so many innocent people into rogues was finally gone.“One down,” Nina muttered. She looked back at Rogan and Thorin. They were still fighting hard. She looked away from them and averted her gaze to a person who was looking in her direction.It was Coby.She faltered for a second. To say he was looking at her was a bit of a misunderstanding. He was looking at his dead grandmother. He was staring at her corpse with complex emotions.Nina was not sure how he currently felt. Previously, she had gone up to meet him and told him about her plan. So if he could not handle it, he was free to go back. Regardless, she would still get justice for all the people his grandmother, Ariel the sorceress, had killed. Coby had looked her in the eye at that time and nodded in understanding. He said that he would go with them and he would definitely help with saving the triplets. He was determined to help out.
Nina had arrived at the cabin. She immediately stormed in the moment Coby successfully led them there. Her blood was boiling with anger. She looked at everyone with a piercing gaze. She had a strong grip on her iron bat in one hand and her second hand hovered over her knives.There was an amulet shining on her chest. Rogan had given it to her when she woke up. Apparently, it was a family heirloom. Nina wanted to reject it but Rogan insisted. She gave in.The first person she saw when she got there was Ariel, who was haughtily ordering people around. She was setting up a ritual. Nina immediately identified her as Coby’s grandmother. She didn’t waste a moment. She grabbed a small throwing knife and immediately threw it towards Ariel. She did it so fast that no one had time to react. Even Rogan and the others who had come with her did not expect her actions. She was fast and aggressive. She did not even consider the fact that Coby was watching. It did not matter to her.The knife quickly
Nights in the Void Area were basically moonless. The sky would be pitch black without stars or the constellations. It was as if the work area had been abandoned by all the celestial bodies. The Moon Goddess did not monitor the happening in the Void Area. It was just an area for chaotic activities to take place without supervision.“There is no God in the Void Area.”A passing sage had once said this before. He claimed that the void area was an area completely filled with demonic beast. All more vicious than the other. But in such a lawless territory, there would definitely be the leader of all these beasts. The strongest of them. The apex predator.“It is called The Colondra. It is a strange monster that rests in the middle of the Void Area. It is always in a deep state of sleep. It might be that it was sealed by a powerful being in the past or that it is just leisurely resting. But one thing is sure, every night of the Blood Moon. It wakes. If it is not disturbed, it will not bother
“You…What are you talking about?” Agnes cautiously asked him.“Oh, are you talking about that thing you sensed when we got here?” Rex casually asked. This made Agnes even more confused. They had noticed something when they got here? Did that strange pressure also affect them? But what is this about a beast?“Yeah,” Jax replied.“You said it was really big. How big is it?” Axel asked him.Jax hummed for a minute. “Bigger than this dungeon but I’d say it’s as big as the upper structure of the entire building. It feels dangerous as well. Very. It keeps releasing a lot of pressure. It obviously seemed dissatisfied with the existence of people above it. I don’t know what kind of beast it is but it’s not a good idea to be so close to it. It’s right underneath us…”“Wait a minute! Do you mean to say that there is some kind of beast under us? Then why hasn’t it moved?” Agnes asked in a panic. If what Jax had said was true, then they could be killed at any moment. The beast was strong enough t
