It’s her first time witnessing such chaos. She was rattled, not knowing where to go and what to do. Everything was dizzying. There’s just so much movement and so much noise, she couldn’t focus.
Luna yelped as something large pounced on her and she was pushed to the ground. Her wolves were also caught off guard. Where did this creature come from? One moment, there was nothing and then he was suddenly there. The silver wolves fought the enemy. It took her a moment to identify. Such form and behavior, it was clearly a lycan. The growl was disturbing and his appearance was scary. They tried to become stronger than werewolves and ended up becoming monsters. Well, not all of them. The thought came to her but it was fleeting.
Damn. Why did she remove her knife? Well, it was uncomfortable to sleep it and she seriously thought she would have the time to pick it up if anything happened. Now, she forgot. She was practically defenseless and reliant on her wolves.
Luna felt ashamed because of his words. What he said was the truth.“I saw nothing about tonight.” She replied in a low voice and looked down. If she did, then she would have told them.“You’re all about mystery, but you’re not powerful, are you? I thought . . . your wolves . . . they didn’t seem that different from us when we shift. I thought we can rely on them. I thought they would be able to subdue the enemies more easily than the rest of us. They’re nothing special. Just like you.” His words were clearly mocking her.When she dared to steal a glance, she saw how he looked angry, disappointed, and frustrated, all at once. She can tell he’s blaming her. Did she pretend to be powerful? Aside from her knowledge and visions, she’s physically weak. Luna pursed her lips as she began to feel hurt by his words. She clearly told him her weakness, didn’t she? Alright, she must have said the wolves are p
This time, Akira didn’t move his head. What’s even the answer? She just disappeared.This reaction confused Alex. Why can’t he say yes or no?“You don’t know?” He watched as the wolf’s eyes moved, seemingly in contemplation. His head remained stationary even after he stared into the man’s eyes.His lip twitched. “Do you understand my question?”Akira let out an angry growl before moving his head up and down. That’s a yes, which relieved Alex. They’re still communicating. He decidedly sat on the floor, next to the wolf.He pursed his lips as he tried to think hard. “She didn’t leave the pack, but she’s not inside the territory either?” Even to him, the question he came up with sounded absurd. What’s that even supposed to mean?But to his surprise, Akira nodded. What the fuck?“And you don’t know where she is?”
He’s not sure if he should still show up for training. Luna won’t be there. Still, he found himself going in that direction. What are the odds she would show up there at this time?Tyler was already doing exercises when he showed up. They exchanged a look.“She’ll come back.”He perked up at his brother’s statement. “How do you know? Did she tell you something?”Tyler’s lip twitched at his brother’s seemingly expectant expression. He shrugged, deflating the guy’s spirit.“I mean, for someone who knows the future, she ought to be there, right? Also, she’s your mate. If she’d seen the two of you together in the years ahead, then you will be together.”Alex was somehow appeased by these statements. The boy wasn’t wrong. She kept telling him and others that they’re mates. She wouldn’t have said so if it wasn’t true. He was able to br
“You look better. What happened?” Sab asked her son when she first noticed it.Alex managed a grin, “I’m spending time with the wolves. It felt like being with her, too. I just thought I would have something to talk to her about when she comes back. She loved those wolves, I figured she would want to know what they did while she was gone.”Sab was relieved. “That’s good. I think she will love that, knowing you’re taking care of them in her behalf. When someone’s important to you, whatever’s important to them becomes important to you as well.”He couldn’t deny that. “Hmm. And I think it will show people that even if she’s not currently present, she’s someone I still care about. I don’t want them to think otherwise.”“That’s true, too.”They stared at one another before his mother dropped a significant question.“Have y
When his father called for a meeting that weekend, they learned that lycans are beginning to get restless. They’ve been scouting more packs recently.“It’s nothing new. They’ve been lurking all these years. In the last three decades, they’ve attacked various packs plenty of times. They’ve been abducting women. We’ve assumed before that they’re using them for breeding. No one knew exactly where their territory is or if they’re all working together and not as separate groups.” Jared spoke after Alpha Clyde briefed them. Blood Moon was one of those who suffered great losses. His father died when they were attacked.“There have been attempts in the past, but you can say some haven’t taken it as seriously as the rest of us. None succeeded.” Clyde added.“Should we try again, then?” Tyler merely muttered what’s on his mind. He didn’t mean to say it aloud. He froze whe
Six weeks later and another attack occurred. It was madness. But at the end of the day, no one from their pack died. The downside? He witnessed the death of another silver wolf. He felt his heart dropping to the ground as he tried to do something about it. He saw blood on its body but he couldn’t tell how bad it was. He hoped the wolf could be treated as he rushed for Lucas to come. But as he held the wolf, it let out a howl before slowly disintegrating into silver dust. He was shocked and was at a loss. How could it be? Were the wounds that serious? He couldn’t move for a moment and was in a state of disbelief.The other wolves began howling and his heart ached in despair. Is he going to lose them one by one? Are they all going to disappear just like Luna? Those dark thoughts made him afraid. Afraid that she would no longer return.Tyler couldn’t imagine what his brother was feeling in that moment, but it must be terrible. He sat there with Alex as m
He slowed down, not wanting to dash his hope so quickly. But that glow . . . it must be her. He quickened his footsteps again until he could finally see her. He was immensely relieved to recognize her from a distance. She’s wearing a white dress and she’s once again covered with moonglow. All the remaining silver wolves surrounded her and his heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile as she petted the lot of them. He was happy to see her but he’s also nervous. How was he supposed to tell her that he lost three of her wolves?He approached her slowly and when she turned to look at him, her smile faded. She only spared him a second before crouching down and hugging Killian. The others seemed to want the same. Heck, he wanted one, too.He wasn’t the only who got bothered by the sudden howling. Several men went to check it out but upon seeing what it was about, their alpha advised them to return to their posts. Tyler was grinning as he left. Finall
Luna took a deep breath and slowly released it. “How are we mates when we’re not mated?”Hearing her reply, Alex couldn’t help but chuckle. That’s it? That’s why she’s saying they’re not mates? He was once again relieved.“Where are you going? If you’re tired, we should head to the pack house.” He noticed that she seemed to have a direction. He frowned, seeing ahead the cottages reserved for guests.“I’m going to rest. You should go back.” Pursing her lips, she was tempted to tell him to get some rest, too. But that would show she cared, so she held herself back.“You’re going to rest here?” He was at a loss. He was looking forward to holding her in his arms tonight.“Yes. As I should.”“What do you mean? As you should?”“I’m technically a guest, am I not?” She wouldn’t even look at him
