Alessia's POV Will he leave me now? No, he promised to stay by me. Was that why he had been giving me an attitude? He slept with her? When? I suddenly recalled when Phoenix came to me at the party. He had come alone, Gracelynn was no where to be found beside him. And Adrian, I gasped in pain as it dawned on me. The door opened immediately and I met his scurrying eyes which turned calm when his eyes met mine. "Alessia!" He whispered softly and Gracelynn walked out to us. She smirked at me and moved closer to me. "So you have been lying to us. You were his chosen Mate not his Fated Mate. I can't believe you've been trying to take my place all along." She spat angrily on me. "Gracelynn!!" Adrian called warningly. I sniffed back my tears and made sure it didn't drop in front of them. I know my heart has been shattered to multiple pieces but I won't be weak in front of them. I would never be! I have promised never to be weak in front of everyone and that because I got him. But even
Alessia's POV I made my way into the villa, Adrian's villa. I froze at the doorway sniffing in the villa once again before leaving. I'm here to pack my load and call Phoenix to pick me up. I wouldn't be staying with him now. Adrian hadn't gotten home yet because I left school early. I don't want to see his face. I couldn't believe I was so excited about tonight, that he would surely mark me and make me his. Gracelynn succeeded in snatching Phoenix from me, making him reject me even though she wasn't his mate and now, she did snatch Adrian. I packed my expensive stuff and old clothes that were daring to me. I didn't pack up the clothes that Adrian had bought for me. He had bought so many expensive dresses for me. I left it behind and zipped up my bag. I rolled the bag out with me to the living room. I stood beside the couch and glanced around the house for the last time. I doubt I would come back here. This would be my last time here. Tears threatened to fall but I sniffed it back.
Alessia's POV I sat beside him in the car booming with country music as we headed towards the boutique. We were going for an outing. He had asked me out on a date and wanted to take me out. My dresses were old and he wanted to buy classy and new ones for me. The new ones I had were from Adrian and I didn't bring it along with me. I didn't want to take anything pertaining to him with me. I left everything that linked us up at his villa. I'm sure he would have seen it but I mind less. He parked his car in the garage and got down hastily. He rushed to my side and opened the door for me. I got down and swinged my hair backward with a smiling face. "Thank you dear." I gave him a peck on his cheek and he chuckled out. "The status really fits me right." I said with pride and held his hands, entwined with mine. "Yes. You fit being a Luna." He complimented and avoided my gaze. I smiled widely and rested on his arms. I'm uninterested in him but I've gotten comfortable with him. I've settl
Alessia's POV "Them? If I can I will but.…" "You should. They really hurt us. To be sincere, I wasn't expecting that and it came as a shock." He confessed. I turned to look at him as I frowned in surprise. "You looked normal. You really looked unaffected." "Yes I did. I was just trying to be strong. I think I lost interest in Gracelynn a long time ago but failed to find out. I wasn't really affected that she was leaving me. I was surprised and taken aback by the sudden change. And I'm glad I have you here with me now. I can rectify my mistake and win you back." He sighed and focused on the road ahead. "It's slightly to my benefit." He chuckled. I found the words offensive but he is right, it's to his own good. "You should forget him. He chooses another over you but he can't help it. The mate bonds with her and lycans need their Fated Mate by their side for a longer reign." Really, the mate bound my foot. But he was able to deny the mate bond and rejected me, why can't it happen
Alessia's POV After observing some days of holiday, we are back to normal campus life but a lot has changed about me, I'm not who I used to be, some other girl has taken over my place. I mean in Adrian's life. Phoenix has tried getting close but I don't think it's right to give him my heart, I was betrayed by him weeks back after many years of our friendship. As I stand quietly by the railings of the third floor of the administrative building, waiting for Phoenix to go in and get his files, Gracelynn walks by holding hands with Adrian. My mind flashes back to those times we were always walking together, people, both students and lecturers alike respecting me because of him. She makes a mocking sound so as to attract my attention. I turn back to look at her, at them, at first, I pretended I wasn't aware of their presence. "Hey girl," my face changes quickly into a frown as she addresses me this way, with a bull's voice. I would challenge her if Adrian didn't walk with her up here. I
Alessia's POV In the evening, Phoenix and Adrian go to play table tennis in the court, it's surprising how they are bonding with each other, whether it's because that we have interchanged, Gracelynn being with him, and I who was with him, now being with Phoenix. As I sit on my bed, an idea comes to mind. I would love to go closer to those who are higher than Adrian, he's now looking down on me but I want to stand up and high that even Gracelynn wouldn't have the guts to talk to me. "I need to meet someone who will introduce me to the Queen's Cycle." It's just a wish, I don't know how possible this is. I don't know anyone, I need to start working on myself. These are the only species of werewolves that are higher than the lycans. They are believed to be direct descendants of the moon goddess and have the ability to travel to the moon to meet her. I'll meet her tomorrow, for now I have to call my friend, Brenda. Phoenix was talking of having sex with me tonight when he comes back bu
Alessia's POV "Why wouldn't I be excited, come with me baby. I've got a mate!" "Oh, my goodness!" I jump up from where I was and lands right on her body. She's twenty-one but hadn't found her mate until now. "That's why I wish to go see my cousin, I would be celebrating my mating ceremony at the sunshine city." Anxiety sets up in mind, why does she wants to celebrate her mating ceremony there and not in our pack? I'm moved to ask her. "Why baby?" "My mate is the descendant of the moon goddess. Since you are my best friend. I'm taking you along." "Only me?" "Yes." She gestures to me to go continue so we go off. "Remember Phoenix wouldn't let you go out the easily when he returns, I saw him while coming. He's still playing with Adrian." If not for anything, this gingers me to go back to what I was doing. I'm too excited to continue without shaky hands. She walks over and hits me playfully on the back. "Come on, baby. I can see the excitement is even affecting you more than me. Le
Alessia's POV I turn to look at her, slightly pushing off my face and giving a stern look as if I didn't hear what she just said. "I'll really appreciate it if you elaborated on it. Which guys?" She gives a short laughter, for a few seconds, she says nothing but focuses on the road, later, she turns her face briefly towards me, then in a whisper, she says it. "Adrian, Phoenix." She turns her face forward again, looking at the road before her, here it's already getting dark and that's when I fancy going out most especially as there is tight security everywhere. They are the pack police who patrol and station everywhere. In less urban locations, we have the wolf patrol, these involves patrolling wolves who protects members of the packs against rogues and other pack wolves that loves to walk at night, looking for wolves to attack. This had stopped in the past few months due to the heightened security, now you could run around the woods without fear of being attacked. "Hmm," I take a
Adrian's Pov I wake up early, my mind filled with a newfound clarity. Today is the day I finally make a decision, a decision that will change everything. As I slowly get out of bed, I can't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. I take a deep breath and remind myself that this is what I truly want. Walking downstairs, I find my children already awake and eating breakfast. They look at me expectantly, their innocent eyes filled with hope. I can't help but feel a pang of guilt as I realize they've been through so much because of my indecisiveness. "Good morning, Dad," my son greets me, trying to hide his worry behind a smile. "Any news about Mom?" I give them a warm smile, trying to reassure them. "Actually, kids, today is a special day. I've made a decision, and it's time for us to bring your mom back home." Their faces light up with pure joy, and a weight lifts off my shoulders. I realize that this decision isn't just for me; it's for our family. I want us to be whole again
Adrian's POVI wake up to the morning light filtering through the curtains, blinking away the remnants of sleep. As I turn to my side, my heart skips a beat. It's Alessia lying next to me, her peaceful expression contrasting with the turmoil inside me.Memories from last night flood my mind, the intensity of our encounter still lingering. I can't deny the connection we shared, the passion that ignited between us. But it was just one night—a night that I never expected would leave me feeling this way.I run a hand through my hair, my thoughts spinning. How did this happen? How did I go from not wanting her near me to feeling torn between accepting her or letting her go?Alessia stirs beside me, her eyes fluttering open. She blinks a few times, adjusting to the morning light. When she sees me, a soft smile tugs at the corners of her lips."Good morning, Adrian," she says, her voice filled with a mix of uncertainty and hope.I swallow hard, trying to find the right words. "Good morning,

Her next option was to live her life alone, not hoping of getting love again or meeting her kids until one day, at a luxury club house, both got drunk, the man took her to his house and they had sex.I wake up in a daze, my head pounding with the remnants of a wild night. The room is unfamiliar, and as I try to gather my thoughts, memories flood back in hazy fragments. The luxury club, the man who took me home. We had sex. I groan inwardly, feeling a mix of regret and confusion.I glance around the room, taking in the elegant décor and expensive furnishings.

Phoenix is shocked and frustrated at being caught She rushes out of the room, estate and of his life.I can't believe what I just witnessed. The sight before my eyes was like a stab to the heart, a betrayal that cut deeper than any knife. My whole body trembled with a mix of anger, hurt, and disbelief. How could he do this to me? How could he throw away everything we had bu
Alessia's POV As I hear the persistent rumors swirling around about Adrian, I can feel my heartache growing deeper with each passing day. It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the whispers and the constant reminders of the life we once shared. But deep down, I know it's time to let go. I have to move on and focus on the present, on Phoenix and our future together.Today is Phoenix's birthday, and I'm determined to make it a day he'll never forget. Despite the mixed emotions coursing through me, I decide to put all my energy into planning a celebration that will bring him joy and happiness.

Alessia's POV:I've been carrying this burden inside me for too long, suffocating in its weight. The rumor about the nanny's affair with Adrian has taken a toll on me, and I can't keep pretending everything is fine. My sleepless nights and constant state of sadness have caught Phoenix's attention, and he's determined to find out what's causing my pain. "Alessia, please tell me what's wrong. I can see how much you're suffering. I want to help you, but I need to know what's going on.Phoenix said to Alessia. "Phoenix, it's complicated. I don't know where to begin. It's just... there are things I've discovered, things that have shattered my trust. Alessia hesitant."Trust? What do you mean? Are you saying you don't trust me? Phoenix in anger. "No, Phoenix, not you. It's... it's about Adrian. Alessia replied. "Adrian? What does he have to do with this? Phoenix said with surprised. "Rumors have been circulating that Adrian and the nanny were involved in an affair. I confronted Adrian
Adrian's POVMy heart begin to pounds in my chest as I storm away from the pack estate, leaving Phoenix and Alessia behind. Anger courses through my veins, fueling my every step. How could they betray me like this? I trusted Phoenix with everything, and he took advantage of my absence to seduce Alessia once again.As I reach the palace, my mind is consumed with thoughts of revenge. I won't let them get away with this. Alessia may be the mother of my children, but I refuse to be tied to her anymore. I'll raise the kids myself, far away from the pack. They deserve better than a father who can't trust their mother.Days pass, and I immerse myself in my duties as the Alpha. The responsibilities of ruling the pack keep my mind occupied, but deep down, the pain lingers. I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake by pushing Alessia away. Was there still a chance for us? Maybe I should have confronted her instead of storming off in anger.One evening, as I review some pack documents in my st
I can't believe I'm finally heading back to my hometown after all these years. The excitement bubbles inside me as I clutch onto Phoenix's hand, feeling his warmth radiate through my fingers. My parents and I have only spoken on the phone until now, and the thought of seeing them in person fills me with both joy and nervousness.We walk side by side, our footsteps echoing on the familiar path leading to my childhood home. The memories flood my mind, and I can't help but share them with Phoenix. I recount the games I played with the neighborhood kids, the secrets shared with my best friend under the old oak tree, and the adventures I embarked on in the nearby forest.As we approach the doorstep, my heart races. I take a deep breath, exhaling slowly, trying to calm myself before ringing the doorbell. The door swings open, and there they are, my parents, beaming with delight. Tears of happiness well up in my eyes, and I throw myself into their waiting arms, feeling their love and warmth
I take a deep breath as I step foot into the Luna's residence once again. It feels both familiar and strange at the same time. The grandeur of the mansion and the memories it holds flood my mind, but this time, there's a difference. This time, I have my children with me.Adrian, my estranged husband and the Alpha, made it clear that during this time, he is not to bring another woman into his house. He knows the circumstances under which I returned, and I can only hope that he will respect my wishes.As we settle into our new home, people from the pack start to trickle in. They come bearing gifts, eager to welcome me back as their Luna. Their warm smiles and kind words touch my heart, but I can't help but feel a sense of guilt. I know I am just a temporary presence in their lives. Soon, I will have to make a decision, and it weighs heavily on my shoulders."Thank you all for your warm welcome," I address the gathered pack members. "But I want you to understand that I am not here to sta
