Are you saying that my aunt was not making things up because she hated me? Was she telling the truth, Miss Olivier? Yes, child. Everything she said is true. You're not part of their family. But your mom and I didn't want you to find out this way. If what you're saying is the truth then why didn't mom tell me that I was not her biological daughter? Why didn't she tell me that she adopted me, and on top of that, who is my biological mother? Who are my parents? I would like to know who they are and why they abandoned me. I asked Miss Oliver in so much pain and tears dropping out of my eyes uncontrollably. Your late mother didn't know who your parents were. So am I, child. Your mother got you from an old woman in her hometown who had been chased out of the house by her husband because of you. And when your mother asked her who your parents were, she replied saying... She got you from the street veranda curled up with dried tears on your face. When she tried to speak to you, no words w
I was beyond stunned as I watched them bowing down at me as they called me Luna. I'm sorry everyone, I think you misunderstood me with someone else. My name is Catriona Havers, not Luna. I said while smiling awkwardly. Excuse me, Luna, please allow me to lead you into your rooms. The woman said. Why did they keep calling me Luna when I told them my real name? At least won't feel guilty when the real Luna, the one they think I am, comes. The ones that brought us led us into the elevator that took us to the 4th floor. Every corner of this house was beyond stainless, and beautiful. We were motioned into the already-opened room. We entered the room they gave us and what Miss Olivier said was "WOW, how can a person come up with an idea of building something beautiful like this? I have no idea either. I responded. I looked down at my brother who was sleeping peacefully on the double king-sized bed. Miss Olivier, do you think he's fine? He's been sleeping since we came. I asked worr
JEROME There is no fucking way my Alpha will accept that. He would rather die fighting them than use his mate as a price tag for letting the pack members free even though we all mean a lot to him. "Who does that old man think he is?" I blame myself for falling in love with the wrong woman all this time. I know we had our differences between our packs but I'd always thought that one day one time we would overcome it. But now see what I brought to my pack. They might lose their lives because of my stupidity. Jayden began laughing out loud and the whole wing went silent. I was shocked as well as others to see him laughing like that. I forgot the pain I was in and started laughing along with him, including our men. My laughs were mixed with pain, betrayal, and embarrassment of what I did to the pack. If I'm to be punished, I deserve more than the pain I am having right now. Jayden's laughter was now freaking the shit out of us all including Joseline's family. What's wrong with
JAYDEN I have no idea how the witches' spells work but what Vannesa did brought me back to this empty room where my body was laid for those past six days. I looked around for my wolf as she told me but to my absolute disappointment, my wolf was not here. Still confused about where the hell I should find my wolf, the bracelet on my wrist brightened up showing me the lead I should take. Without hesitation, I moved my ass and followed its guidance. The bracelet led me through the quiet forest that was filled with life. I'm sure anyone who would come here wouldn't want to leave because of its positivity. I continued to follow the bracelet's lead and came to a stop when I saw my wolf. But he was in an open place without anyone watching over him as Vannesa said. Did you distract them already? I asked the stupid damn bracelet like an idiot. My wolf started growling with his eyes on me. My body is on fire now because of the strong bond we have. He was now howling because he wanted t
I was exceptionally horny that I didn't mind whatever happened to me but the sharp teeth that felt like a blade on my skin startled the shit out of me. I reacted instantly and looked up at Gabriel's now red eyes and two long canines out. I staggered for a moment and opened my mouth to scream but he was quick to clamp my mouth shut. Don't panic honey. I won't do anything to hurt you. He said as both his eyes and long teeth went back to normal. What the hell are you? Are you two monsters in one body? A wolf and, and a vamp... Will you calm down, please? Calm down pumpkin, Okay. I'm not what you think I am. I'm not a vampire If that's what you want to say. He said audibly. Then why... I mean the teeth, I mean the fangs, I mean… they were out, yet you were not in your wolf form. I stuttered. Listen, honey, there's a lot you don't know about the supernatural world and our kinds. I'm sick of hearing the words, "There's a lot you don't know". Yes, I don't know much about your kin
This is weird. When I heard the skinny girl's voice in my head my body became as cold as ice and within a minute it became warm again. Just hearing that girl's voice made the hair on my skin stand on end. Let me hope what I am thinking is wrong. I leisurely and resolutely turned around knowing there would be nothing creepy going on behind me because of Gabriel's presence. When I spun, my terrorism of screaming the word "you scared me", was the ghost girl I saw instead of Gabriel. My life is already messy and you're just making it worse for me to breathe. I yelped at her. Get lost, please. Gabriel passed through her and cupped my shoulders. Something is going on with you, right? In Other words, I feel the same fear you had earlier. And I'm sure that yelping was not about me. What's going on baby? He asked. Yes, you're right, it's not about you, but would you believe me if I tell you that I can see ghosts and that there's one right now staring unblinkingly at me as if it had seen the
GABRIEL I looked down at my mate, and into her mind. I was somehow proud of myself that I was able to soothe her mind from worries and replace them with pleasure and want. Now that she's pinned beneath me I started fucking her… I gently stroked in and out her little tight wet pussy while moving my mouth back and forth between her perfect breasts. I always dreamt of this day. This moment of me and her alone in my bedroom, on my bed and top of her, claiming her body and as mine alone. Each stroke I made, made me mount in pleasure. And I'm sure she feels the same. "FUCK! she feels so fucking good. I can stay like this forever, fucking her wholeheartedly endlessly. I pumped in and out of her again and again, not giving her a moment of breathing or relaxation. Don't hold it baby, come hard for me. I whispered. She moaned in response. I trailed my hand down to where we joined and started thumbing her clit as I increased my pace, thrusting my cock deeply into her wet pussy with rene
The news Lauren gave me left me flabbergasted for a moment before I came back to life. Lauren, as I told you earlier, I'm not in the mood to tolerate your bitterness. I'm telling you the truth Catriona. I know it's hard for you to believe me because of our differences. But you have to. Her granddaughter and I know each other. We went to the same school and I assure you that I know her well enough to take you there if that would make you believe me. She said. "Do you think I can meet her?'' I asked. "If that's what you want! Of course Lauren, I do want to. I replied excitedly. Jayden gently pulled me aside. There is something I must talk to you about. He said. "Bad news! I asked. "Um… kind of." Can you save it for later? I asked him in full tilt. He tried to hold onto my hand but I swiftly avoided it. Alright Lauren, lead the way. Her brows furrowed. Her expression got me thinking that maybe she was playing with my emotions. Catriona, her house isn't a three-minute wal
It has been eight months since the pack was attacked and everything that followed. Jayden and I have been able to reconcile and our love for each other has grown. Ever since Gabriel broke the mate bond with me he suddenly disappeared. Until now I haven't seen him. But I heard murmurs from the pack members that he found himself a mate and made her the Luna. Initially, I was hurt because he seemed so determined to be with me, but then suddenly ended our connection. However, I feel at ease with everything going well around me. The pack members have accepted me as their alpha's mate, and their affection towards me is growing stronger. My brother's health has stabilised, so we don't have to visit the hospital as often. Regarding the old spirits, they continue to possess me during times of trouble and fight our battles when needed. However, whenever I attempt to inquire about our relationship, they simply smile and leave me hanging. I have given up on pursuing this topic. Vannesa, too,
JAYDEN I froze in place when my so-called vampire brother burst out of the pack house, somehow managing to get his hands on Catriona. "I've had enough, little brother," he said. Everyone paused including Gabriel, waiting to see whom he was referring to as his brother. Gabriel was quick to react, glancing from me to the vampire. His face turned red with fury, and could tell he wanted to charge at my brother and break him in half. As satisfying as that would be, it was also impossible. Doing anything foolish would put Catriona in danger. My brother approached me confidently, exuding an air of satisfaction. He sniffed Catriona's neck and then turned to me, remarking, "She smells good." He twirled his bloody tongue over his fangs. Gabriel's voice echoed angrily in my mind, demanding, "Who is this bloodsucker to you, Jayden?" His wolf paced restlessly around him while bombarding me with questions. "Let her go. It's me you want." I said but instead, his smile grew wider, as if he was
GABRIEL When I ensured Catriona's safety indoors, I ventured out to mediate the conflict between the witches and Jayden's enraged wolves. I never anticipated being struck by the witches' wrathful magic, which was originally intended for Jayden. The impact of the magic left me clutching my chest tightly as if it might burst open. I remained on the ground for several minutes, groaning in pain. Although the temptation to shift and violently retaliate against everyone was strong, I knew I had to remain calm. Feeling frustrated, I took a deep breath and confidently approached the wolves and witches, positioning myself between them with a dominant demeanour. "You all need to calm the fuck down," I assertively stated. Surprisingly, everyone except for Jayden stopped. He angrily trotted over to me, snarling in my direction… "You dare bring unknown witches to my house and give orders to my pack?" Who do you think you are?" He said, his voice guttural. "Trust me, I wouldn't mess with brin
l gazed wide-eyed, still processing what just happened where I hurried over to Jayden, as he appeared to be in pain. My love and concern for him compelled me to reach out, but instead, a powerful gust of wind blew through me, separating us. I stumbled backwards, my heart pounding in my chest. Fortunately, Gabriel was behind me and caught me before I hit the ground. His strong arms wrapped around me, providing a sense of stability amidst the chaos. I clung to him, grateful for his presence in this bewildering moment. Without hesitation, I turned to face the witches, my Voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "Did you do this? Are you responsible for what just happened?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing as I awaited their response. The witches exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise and confusion. One of them with silver hair, stepped forward, her voice gentle yet resolute. "No, we had nothing to do with it,'' she replied. My mind raced, trying to make sense of
JAYDEN I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of my wolf's words hung heavily in the air, leaving me speechless. Breaking the mate bond was an unthinkable act, a betrayal of the deepest kind. It was a bond meant to be eternal, unbreakable. That is the best thing we can do for Catriona. She'll be free. And safe from being hurt by the man she loves. Even though my wolf said this, I can feel the sadness in his tone and feel the beating of his heart, which tells me that he doesn't mean it. I know he's trying to punish me for everything I did to him, especially to Catriona. Fuck me I wasn't in my right damn mind. However, it doesn't mean that I don't love Catriona. I genuinely love and care about her to the extent of giving my life to her. Despite my wolf's warning, I disregarded him and headed into the house. "Did you hear what I said?" His voice echoed loudly in my head making it hard for me to think straight. "I heard you loud and clear, beast." We nee
I stared wide-eyed at the saliva rolling down my bare skin, fear flooding in as the memory of Jayden's nearly lifeless body came rushing back. What is going to happen next? Am I going to end up in the same half-dead state as Jayden was? How many days will it be? And what about the child inside me? I instinctively touched my belly, filled with trepidation at the thought of my unborn child facing the same fate as me. How unlucky am I? Gabriel was immediately by my side, attempting to communicate with me but his words were incomprehensible, though I could sense his anxiety and anger. I'm scared he would kill another person. Based on Gabriel's account of what the saliva did to Jayden, I expected an immediate reaction when it came into contact with me. However, it took longer for the effects to manifest. Gradually, I felt my larynx becoming blocked, making it difficult for me to breathe. Desperately gasping for air, I clutched at my throat. Gabriel's grip was strong, and his roug
GABRIEL Catriona's gaze filled me with fear, causing my heart to pound relentlessly. Her silence alone is already destroying me. Naturally, no woman would look at you the same way after learning that you have killed someone. I took a step forward and reached out to touch her, but she quickly backed away, saying, "Please don't touch me. Whatever you want to say, just say it from there. Don't come any closer." Her lips trembled as she spoke. A feeling of unease crept into my stomach as if poisonous insects were devouring me from the inside. It was then that I realized it was time to tell her what happened to her. After all, she's my mate, and she has all the right to know. Pumpkin, I'm going to tell you everything, but not in this situation where you're trembling. It's distressing to me. Please sit down first. "I'm fine here, she said, cutting me off. I nodded, respecting her decision. ~~~ Due to my prolonged search for my mate as an alpha, l was deemed unfit for impor
I dropped my hands in shock as Sandra's words hit me like a ton of bricks. "He murders his mates. The weight of her statement overwhelmed me, leaving no room for coherent thoughts. Before I could process it further, Gabriel abruptly grabbed Sandra by the neck, choking her. Everyone who was minding their businesses gasped in shock as others started disappearing away. Despite struggling to breathe, Sandra managed to speak. "Are you going to kill me like those other women?" You've crossed the line, woman, Gabriel growled. In an instant, he snapped her neck. The sound of Sandra's neck snapping echoed through the air, sending shivers down my spine. Time seemed to freeze as the weight of what had just happened settled in the atmosphere. The witches stood frozen in a mix of shock and fear, their eyes wide with disbelief. My mind raced, desperately trying to process the horrific scene unfolding before me. As Sandra's lifeless body fell to the ground, Gabriel slowly turned his gaze toward
As I continued to whine in pain, this beautiful woman I had just met came to my aid. She gently guided me down the grass and placed her hand on my neck, where the pain was emanating from. Breathe in," she said and then started talking in small words. After a few moments, I began to feel the pain dissipate, replaced by tiny shimmering sensations. As she removed her hand from my neck, she collapsed down in a sideway position, panting heavily as if she had just run a long distance. Concerned, I turned to her and asked if she was alright. She waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she just needed a moment to relax. "I just need a moment," she said. "I laid down facing her. What do you think you're doing?" she asked. First of all, thank you for your help. For a moment, I felt like I was dying. I shouldn't have done that," she said, cutting me off. She slowly got up and sat upright, and so did I. Get out of here. She said in a dead serious tone. Did I do anything wrong? I asked,
