Christina's pov

"It seems like you suddenly lost the ability to speak," he said, putting down the book in his hands.

Something about the tone with which he spoke, so condescending and arrogant, lit something up in me. I always hated guys who were so full of themselves, and he was proving to be just one of them.

"So what if I am?" I shot back, lifting my chin.

His expression changed so suddenly from silent anger to amusement. Then he did something unexpected, grabbing my chin, and taking me completely by surprise.

His touch sent jolts of electricity through me, and I wondered for a terrified second if he knew the effect he was having on me. I sure hoped he didn't, the last thing I needed was something to feed his ego

"I didn't think you cared enough to learn about it," he said, his voice dripping with suppressed laughter.

I couldn't figure out what was so funny about this scenario, especially with how uncomfortable it was making me feel.

"Of course I care," I snapped back. "This so-cal

    Christina's povThe mirror in front of me felt like a cruel joke. It reflected a version of myself that I couldn't even recognize. That girl looked nothing like me in her flowing white gown with delicate silver embroidery trailing down the bodice.The sleeves hung just off my shoulders, reminding me of the prom dress I had my eyes on for a while. Just that one was red, and this was white. If this was the universe's way of treating me to prom, then this was so unfair. I didn't even want to be taken by someone like Marcel, and here I was about to get married to him.Or "mated," as they called it here. My chest felt tight at the thought of it. Despite all the preparations by Luna Sandra, teaching me what was expected of me as a Luna and how to harness my authority, I felt like I was barely equipped. How did one go from having only college applications to worry about to have a whole pack to rule?For goodness' sake, I was barely 18. It would take a few more months for me to reach that age

    Marcel's povThe murmurs started long before the ceremony began. I had just stepped out to the courtyard we were using, and the amount of people there was alarming. Everybody wanted to catch a glimpse of the Omega that I had chosen to be my bride.I walked off to the space set aside for the alphas, intending to pay my respects to them before it began.I could hear a lot of people murmuring, not that I was surprised. The pack had never been shy about voicing their opinions, even when they didn't dare say them directly to me.Tonight was no different. "An Omega as Luna?" someone said to the person next to her."Hush, the Alpha might hear you!" her companion replied, and they shifted farther into the crowd away from me.From where I stood, I could see the center of the courtyard where a bonfire was being set. It was symbolic of our bond for the events to be held under the full moon and everybody circled the bonfire.The chairs were already arranged, but only a few were sitting. In time,

    Author's povChristina stepped forward, her eyes darkening as she looked between the Elder, who was holding that wicked-looking knife, and Marcel. When he had pressed it to Marcel's palm, he didn't do so much as flinch—it was like it didn't hurt, but she doubted that.It wasn't the pain that scared her though; it was the knowledge that once this was done, they would be bound forever. She would be caged with no remedy. She was never a fan of blood oaths, and in this place, it seemed to be even more significant than normal.Her eyes looked past Marcel to where her stepsisters were sitting. They were seated in the space reserved for the members of the Black Moon Pack, right up in the front row. Their expressions were full of so much sadness that she felt guilt weave through her heart.If I don't do this, then they will be in danger, she thought. With that threat hanging over her, she extended her hand towards the Elder.However, just before he took it, she remembered the disrespect that

    Christina's povThe cool night air stung my lungs as I ran, cutting through the dense trees like a shadow. At first, I was running without direction. I had just wanted to get away from them all, but at a point, I perceived the welcoming territory. The smell of pine and earth drew me until I was deep into the woods; still, I didn't feel far enough.I needed to get away from the stare, from all the murmurs, judgment, and fear—away from Marcel.The soft earth under my paws dampened the sound of my frantic escape. I couldn't sense any movement behind me, meaning that I wasn't being followed, but I refused to stop just yet.The towering trees closed in around me, gnarled branches forming a canopy that blocked out the moonlight. The further I went, the more the air seemed to change, the faint sense of the pack territory fading into something unfamiliar.Had I made it out already?The surging hope through me made me let out a shout for joy, but it only came out as a low growl. I was still in

    Christina's pov"I'm glad you're here," I whispered, leaning my head against his shoulder. He had his arm around me, patting my hair softly. It felt so nice to be close to him. "I thought you had forgotten about me by giving up.""I would never," his face twisted with pain and he shook his head. "I came around earlier this week, I came for you—all of you—but Alpha Marcel is... difficult. He insisted that...""I heard," I interrupted. "He was going to kill us if you came again.""No, he didn't go that extreme," my father replied with a small laugh, "but he did say that this is the consequence of my action in trying to protect you. I couldn't understand why he wanted to hold on to you though, especially if he hasn't killed you yet."I was quiet for a while, thinking of what I had heard from the maids. It seemed like they had edited the story a bit to make it look more drastic. But edited or not, Marcel still had sent my father away without even granting him an audience with me, and so I

    Marcel's povChristina was bold, that was for sure. She was giving me a lot of headaches and stress, trying to mask my annoyance and anger with calm aloofness.I watched as the moderators in charge of the event dismissed the people, and of course, I didn't miss the memories of disappointment that went through the crowds. They also were thinking about the turn of events. No one saw this coming, literally.A small part of me felt struck by Christina's actions. No one ever defied the Alpha—it just wasn't done—and yet she managed to cause a stir by rejecting me.It was unique actually, and this new challenge was a bit welcoming.It shouldn't be though, I was aware. My reputation was on the line currently, and if I did not tread carefully, I would lose most of it. My next action was very important."Alpha Marcel, the other Alphas want to speak with you," a slight man said to me. He was probably sent by the Alphas to deliver the message.Well, they did not get to order me around. I do not d

    Marcel's POVI didn't bother looking up when the door to my study creaked open. Footsteps grew closer, but I waited patiently until I heard a voice."Alpha," it was Baron's voice, the leader of the men I had sent out to get Christina back for me."What is it?" I asked, not looking up."We brought her back," he replied in a monotonous voice.Finally, I lifted my gaze. Not that I wasn't expecting them to, but it still sounded like good news."And where is she now?""She's being held by some guards outside," he replied. "I came to tell you so you can tell us if you would like to speak to her now or what judgment you would like us to pass out."Funny. He, too, thought I was supposed to do something drastic to her for her actions. I guess everybody could see the insult that she had done so clearly.I leaned back in my chair, my jaw tense. Suddenly, the calmness I had achieved in the 30 minutes since I went into my study so I could think straight evaporated. The anger I had buried surged to

    Author's povMarcel sat at the table, reviewing drafts for the public verdict. He had to get up very early to do this and ensure everything was "top-notch" before it was sent out at midday. It was barely dawn, and the cool morning breeze from the window was pleasant.He stared at the heading placeholder "Luna" and shook his head. At least, this was a temporary arrangement. A knock broke his focus."Come in," he said tersely without looking up.The door opened, and Arun stepped in, holding a small, worn notebook. His expression was serious as he approached Marcel."Something was discovered near the site where Christina was found," he began, placing the book on the desk. It was found under a boulder."Marcel's eyes flicked to the item. It looked old and unremarkable, certainly not something that would draw his attention if it weren't brought to him."If I recall, it was that area where those men were sent out to get Christina back, so why is this just getting to me?" he asked."I asked

    Christina's povMelissa added the last silver hairpin to my elegant bun and took a step back, admiring her work. "Well, look at you. Some months ago, you were stomping around refusing to be a Luna, and now you're glowing with confidence."I laughed with them. The funny part was that they were right. Suddenly, I felt so sure of whatever I wanted to do and the way forward for me. I felt so sure when I said yes to Marcel a week ago.I stood in front of the mirror while smiling as I turned to observe my reflection. The formal robes felt soft against my body while the silver clasp kept the gown in place.The dress was marvelous itself—drab white shot through with silver embroidery in lacy moon patterns down the bodice and sleeves. It cinched at my waist before cascading away in airy, weightless folds. And to crown it all, a silver circle rested on my head.I looked divine. I would never know how Marcel managed to have this dress custom-made for me within a week, but I was grateful for it.

    Author's povJust as the words left Pierce's mouth, a sharp pain erupted in Becca's throat. The chains around her hands tightened so much that she had to scream. Her feet hung inches above the floor, and she had never felt so powerless.On the other side, Melissa was not doing any better. Pierce curled her fingers by her side between them as though she were holding on to an unseen rope. Something about her younger sister being tortured just like she was—by their mother, no less—made Becca snap. She ignored the intense pain and cried out, "Mother, stop!"To think that this was the person they refused to give up on, the person she went through the risk of bargaining with the alpha just to reach. How naive she was.Christina found herself screaming at the pain in her expression. "What are you doing? Stop it!"Pierce only smiled, not bothering to listen to her daughter's words. "Do you think you could betray me and walk away unharmed? You chose her over me, you both, and your father. Don

    Marcel's povThe air in the patio was thick with tension, as I stared at each of the four elders sitting around the table. They met my gaze expectantly, even though I figured they already knew the reason I had called for the meeting.A day ago, I let Becca and Melissa leave with Isaac, not because he wanted to take his mate away, but because they have a greater purpose to serve, speaking with Pierce.They had until today to give me an update and change the course that I knew this meeting would inevitably reach, and yet they were silent.All I got to indicate their existence was a call from Becca to tell me that they had arrived at their destination. And since then, there has been nothing. I didn't like that. If they brought bad news that their mother refused to listen to reason, I would appreciate it better.I wasn't one to go back on my words. The ultimatum had reached its end, and the council meeting would hold, and so would the war. In my head, this meeting was basically to draw as

    Christina's povAll I noticed initially was the heat of the flames around me. The colors surrounding me were not blue but aggressive orange and they pervaded the entire space. Multiple screams pierced the environment similar to tones while I held my head with my hands to block the noises from entering.A heavy odor of burning fur combined with blood filled the air while the sky turned strangely into a sickly red hue. Ranges of wolves escaped in all directions while their struggling bodies produced the sounds of wounded howling. I stood in the middle of a battlefield. I sensed a presence then I turned to my side and saw a radiant figure. The figure appeared completely unfamiliar without any recognizable characteristics because its flowing garments obstructed my sight. I only understood that the figure shined silver yet this surprised me."Christina," a soft voice whispered. I turned around in a full circle, but there was no one else around me.No one but this glowing person. When I r

    Christina's povMy breathing became uneven while my heart raced but the feelings had nothing to do with fear or anger. I was completely unfamiliar with the source of my sudden nervous state.I sat up, unable to sleep. For the last few minutes I had been tossing on my bed while trying to relax my mind but every attempt resulted in more tension swirling through my thoughts. What was going on?Perhaps I was worried because of Marcel. He had brushed me off when I tried to stop him from leaving. Maybe that was good since I had no idea what I was going to say to him anyway, but it hurt nonetheless.I erased some of the cold sweat from my forehead. It was extremely strange that I was sweating despite the coolness in the air. This was much more than a misunderstanding with Marcel. Something was off.Unable to bear it anymore, I pushed off my bed and rushed towards the window. Both of my sisters were still fast asleep, so I was not interrupted. When I opened the windows a thick black cloud fro

    Marcel's povWithout an answer, I carefully turned my body to look at her. At that moment Christina stood with her lips slightly open as she panted irregularly. During that moment the forceful wind simply vanished but the surrounding environment remained entirely unrestful.I asked her a simple question. Since she was so hell-bent on convincing me before I even talked with Isaac, answering shouldn't be hard.But her hesitation told me everything. Christina refused to let them depart from her side. The fiery defiance showed her unwillingness to accept their leaving.I scoffed, unable to believe what was going on right now. She accused me of being heartless, of keeping them here against their will, and yet she couldn't even find the strength to do the opposite. How hypocritical of her.I turned away, deciding that I would not repeat her mistake and say something I would regret. It would be better if I just left. Just as I started to walk away, I felt her hand brush my wrist slightly, bu

    Christina's pov"Close your eyes and take deep breaths," Marcel's deep voice rumbled through my mind. "Focus."Easy for him to say. We found ourselves in a private spot where the fresh air mixed with gentle wind made it ideal for meditation. However, my mind was everywhere. How could I focus like this?Becca refused to tell us the reason behind her sudden change of mind. She just said it made sense that she should go with her mate when she had the chance to go with him, and that settled it.Well, it didn't. I could sense something amiss, but what it was, I had no idea, and it was killing me. Melissa seemed quiet, neutral, curious but also willing to go.That also worried me. If both of my sisters left, I would be alone. I did not wish to be alone, not yet."Christina," Marcel's voice cut through my daydream, and I opened my eyes. He was frowning at me, arms crossed over his chest."Do you want to do this, or not?""How can you tell that I'm not focused?" I demanded, indignant, that he

    Author's povWarm sunlight from the afternoon bathed the patio while it created shadows that extended over the wooden floor. The gentle wind brought distant voices from another part of the estate while this isolated area maintained a peculiar tension in the air.Becca was probably the only one feeling the tension since her sisters beside her looked just fine and moved with as much ease as usual. Well, from the moment she set her eyes on the man standing a few feet away under the shade, she couldn't feel relaxed.Not much had changed about him, she noted as he locked his gaze with hers. He still had the same piercing gray eyes, the same strong jawline that made him look dominant and the kind tilt to his eyes were still there. Here was the subject of all the silent nights here at the blood moon pack.Becca took her final few steps to position herself next to him while feeling a mix of betrayal and excitement.A deep breath escaped from Isaac when he saw the stunning woman standing in fr

    Author's pov"No!" Christina was saying. "No, I'm not with you on this one."Was Becca being serious right now? That insane woman had burned the house down in anger, and she was ready to kill both her and Marcel! She might be their mother, but she had no trait in common with them and that meant that Christina wanted no involvement with her.Reasoning with her? Pfft. That sounded like a plan that would fail. Perhaps in the end, the woman would turn Becca and Melissa against her, and now they would be a three-woman army all out to take Christina down."Becca, are you sure about this?" Melissa asked in a small voice. She should have sided with her sister immediately, but she doubted if their mother would listen for any reason.She had seen her angry before and caused a lot of wreckage, something she did not regret one bit after doing so. It was like when the witch took over, every ounce of good nature left her and she became worse."Are you serious?" Becca demanded. "So you're going to l
