Kaiden's Point of View“What's wrong with mate?” Did we scare her that much?” Slade asked with worry laced in his voice, already feeling dejected.I sighed as I stared at her lean figure, and my eyes hardened immediately I set eyes on the bruises on her body. I felt like destroying something.I could feel my body trembling, but I was forced to control myself due to the fact that I was holding my mate between my hands……. After all these years.“Let’s mark mate!” Slade demanded impatiently.“Slade! Keep your wolf urges down. How can you think of marking her in this state?” I snapped, my teeth gritting together.“But we’ve waited so long for her. Now that we’ve found her, what are we waiting for?” His voice strained as he fought to gain control, but I pushed him back, using every ounce of my will to hold him at bay.“I understand your frustration, Slade. I bear this curse too. Our mate is currently in a bad state, if we attempt to mark her now that she's in this shape, she's bound to die
Kaiden's Point of View“Caspian, there's someone important that you need to meet,” I said immediately the mind link connected.“How important is this person that you had to wake me up in the middle of the night, Kaiden?” I could already picture the dissatisfied look on his face, he was obviously with his mate but who cares? I just found mine tonight, so I should be the impatient one here.“You only have ten minutes to get here, Caspian,” I said with an eye roll, the only person I’m a little bit free with is my Beta, Caspain.“Alright Alpha, expect me in the next ten minutes, he replied and I disconnected the mind link.I sat down beside her and continued staring at her, she has been through a lot and I will make sure to protect her with my life. She deserves happiness and that I would give to her.I couldn’t help but reach out, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. The warmth of her skin reassured me, a reminder that she was here, with me, but the lack of movement was unsettli
Kaiden's Point of View“Your Highness, she’s awake.”Lewis’s voice broke through the chaos of the pack’s training field. The words slammed into me, and for a moment, I felt as though the ground beneath me had disappeared. My body froze, but my mind exploded with emotions—excitement, hope, and a desperate, gnawing need to see her.But another feeling was stronger.Fear.It clawed at my chest, sharp and unrelenting. Would she hate me? Reject me? Slade growled low in my mind, urging me forward. His voice was a mixture of impatience and longing, like a caged beast desperate for release.“Go!” he barked.With his speed coursing through me, I was standing in front of my bedroom door within seconds. My hand hovered over the knob, trembling slightly as I took a deep breath. Even from the other side of the door, I could feel her presence—fragile, yet powerful. The air around me seemed thicker, almost electric.I stepped inside, and there she was.Sitting upright on the bed, her small frame loo
Kaiden's Point of ViewMy eyes turned bloodshot immediately after he said that. I felt my blood boil, I turned sharply to him and said “What did you just say?”“I meant no harm Alpha, but I feel like that’s the best decision right now”, he replied with a shaking voice.“And what gave you the right to decide for me!!” I roared as I held him up by the mate. Though he’s my Beta and close friend, there were limits to it.“How dare you suggest separating me from my mate!” Slade’s authority infused my voice, and Caspian winced under the weight of the Alpha command.“I’m sorry, Alpha. That’s not my intention,” he stammered.“Then what is your intention?” I demanded, my voice low but no less menacing.“She fears you, Kaiden. If you don’t step back, you’ll lose her completely.,” He stated, “Give her space. Let her see you’re not the monster she fears.”With steady breaths, I released, finally getting his point but the thought of being apart from my mate was driving me nuts.“Once Lewis finishe
Julian's Point of View“You all are just a bunch of useless fools!” I growled as I smashed my cup to the floor. “You call yourselves the pack’s best scouts and trackers, yet you can’t find a wounded and almost lifeless Omega!!” I roared as anger consumed me.“We are so sorry Alpha, but she vanished into the Silver Abyss, we couldn’t follow her there without risking our lives”, their leader, Scott responded.“Then so be it!! If your heads are the price for me to get Avery black here in the pack, then it’s worth it” I declared.“But…..”, I interrupted him with a cold glare. “No buts, my words are final, gather your men and find her, don’t come back here without her”, I stated with a note of finality.“Yes, Alpha, let’s go,” Scott said to his men before they left my office. The moment the door clicked shut, I collapsed to the floor, clutching my chest as an unbearable pain surged through me. My breaths came in sharp gasps, the ache refusing to subside.Why does it hurt this much?I’ve se
Julian's Point of View "My decisions are none of your business. You stay out of my affairs,” I said coldly, my voice sharp enough to cut glass. Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief, but the fury in them didn’t waver. “*None of my business*? I’m your Luna! I’m going to be the mother of your future pups! Why are you still going after that useless Avery? She’s of no use to you, Julian! That’s why you rejected her and chose me over her,” she spat, her tone shrill and accusatory. The room seemed to grow colder. Her words ignited something in me—a spark that erupted into a roaring inferno. My fists clenched, and my vision blurred with rage. “Chose you?” I growled, my voice low and dangerous as I took a menacing step toward her. “Do you think I chose you?” Sophia flinched but tried to hold her ground. “Yes, you did! You rejected Avery because she’s weak! I’m the one who—” Before she could finish, I lunged forward, my hand wrapping around her throat in a vice-like grip. Her eyes went
Julian's Point of ViewOne week! One whole week has passed, yet no news on the whereabouts of Avery. I was going crazy, though I hated her—despised everything about that useless Omega—yet her absence gnawed at my sanity. She was the tether holding together the chaos in my mind. Without her, I felt… lost.Suddenly, the door to my office was pushed open and Scott ran in, his body was covered with all sort of bruises and injuries. I didn’t care about his injuries or the blood trickling down his temple.All I wanted was to hear one thing, that Avery has been found.“Where's she?!” I asked with impatience laced in my voice.“Alpha, we're so sorry, we couldn't find her” he said with his head bent to the floor.The room went still.“What did you just say?” I rose slowly from my chair, each step deliberate, my voice dropping to a dangerous growl.“We couldn't find her” he repeated as he slowly backed away from me, but I was faster than him.In a blur of motion, my hand shot out, clamping arou
Julian's Point of View“Why would you want that useless Omega back? Avery is nothing,” I whispered, as if saying it aloud would make it true. “She’s not worthy to be my Luna. Sophia is perfect. She’s strong, noble, and exactly what this pack needs. Not Avery.”How am I going to apologize to Sophia? I had hurt her. Even if Avery returns back to the pack, it doesn't matter because she isn't strong or worthy to be my Luna, Sophia would still be my Luna.But, I couldn’t stop thinking about her.The image of Avery—her perfect body, her vulnerability at the lake, the way she seemed to belong in the world in a way I never could—swirled relentlessly in my mind. My fists clenched at my sides as I paced back and forth in my office, my thoughts a whirlwind of anger, frustration, and desire. I was losing my grip, and I knew I needed something—someone—to break free from the suffocating thoughts of her.That’s when I decided to go to her.Sophia’s room was on the other side of the pack house, isola
Julian’s Point of ViewThe first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and crimson as I stood in front of my warriors, the cold morning air doing little to temper the heat of my resolve. The rhythmic thud of their boots against the ground echoed in the quiet of the early hours, each step deliberate, each step a promise of victory.We moved with precision, like a well-oiled machine, heading straight for the borders of the Luperci Pack’s territory. My eyes scanned the horizon, sharp and unrelenting, my mind replaying the details of Alpha Lucio’s letter. The alliance was sealed, but now it was time to see if his warriors were as capable as he claimed.When we reached the agreed meeting point, I spotted him—Alpha Lucio, a towering figure clad in silver armor that gleamed under the rising sun. His warriors stood behind him, their faces etched with the weariness of battle, but their spirits unbroken.“Alpha Julian,” Lucio greeted with a curt nod, his voice gruff but respectful.“Alp
Julian's Point of ViewThe Alpha of the Moonwalker pack has been waging war on the Luperci Pack, but I can’t risk my head for a war I know nothing about. Just then, Jace handed a file over to me.“Their Alpha asked me to give this to you. It’s an alliance letter. It’s of no need since we’re rejecting their offer,” Jace said firmly, placing a thick folder on my desk. “I just had to give it to you because you’re the Alpha, and the final decision lies with you. But I trust you’ll make a wise one.”His voice carried a note of caution, but I barely glanced at him as I flipped open the file lazily, fingers drumming against the polished surface of the table. I wasn’t interested in more empty promises or frivolous offers of alliances. My focus was sharper than ever—power. That’s all that mattered. My pack. My goals.I skimmed through the pages half-heartedly, a bored expression plastered across my face. Proposals, terms, agreements—all predictable, unappealing, and not worth my time. Just as
Julian’s Point of ViewAfter racing around in the woods, I shifted back and took my bath. After attending to the pack duties, I went to the study to finally have a breather from my stressful routine when Sophia barged into the room with a solemn look on her face. I sighed as I rubbed my temples. What was it again? I closed the files on the table with a thud, looking up to find Sophia standing by the door, her arms crossed, bottom lip jutted out in a pout that screamed pay attention to me. I didn’t even attempt to hide my disinterest. “What is it now, Sophia?” I muttered. Instead of answering, she whined—a long, dramatic sound that made me wince—and marched toward me with the confidence of someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Without hesitation, she sat herself right on my lap, making herself comfortable as if the throne belonged to her. “Julian,” she cooed softly, dragging out my name in a sing-song tone. I tensed but kept my expression neutral. “Get off, Sophia.” Sh
Kaiden’s Point of ViewI growled again, slamming my head back against the wall in frustration. Slade might believe in her, but I wouldn’t let myself. Not now. Not ever.I sighed then get up from bed, then I remembered the weird phenomenom that occcured in here this midnight, then I glanced at the widows, but they were shut tight. So where did all that wind come from? I wondered.But I shrugged as I walked to my personal training room to practise, before moving to the throne room to have a discussion with Caspain, my Beta and Dalton, my Gamma.Immediately, I entered the grand hall, the weight of my crown barely registering. My steps echoed ominously against the polished stone floor, the sound reverberating in the thick silence. The court was unnervingly still, save for Dalton and Caspian standing stiffly in the center of the chamber. Every gaze was fixed on me as I ascended to my throne, the carved obsidian chair towering over the room as a symbol of my dominion.Seating myself, I reste
Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe silver abyss stretched endlessly before me, the cold metallic light painting everything in haunting shades of gray. My claws dripped with fresh blood, the coppery stench of death clinging to the air as bodies of rogues littered the ground around me. Their snarls and shrieks had faded into silence, replaced by the relentless mantra hammering in my mind.Kill.Destroy.Blood.The words echoed like a sinister drumbeat, their rhythm intoxicating and inescapable. Every time I thought I’d regained control, the curse surged forward, filling my veins with a dark energy that craved more. More blood. More destruction.A rogue leapt at me from the shadows, its fangs bared, but I barely registered the movement. My body acted on instinct, claws slashing through its throat in one swift, brutal motion. Warm blood splattered across my chest, and instead of revulsion, a twisted satisfaction settled in the pit of my stomach.With every drop of blood spilled, the curse grew st
Narrator’s Point of ViewFAR AWAY IN THE CELESTIAL REALMThe celestial hall shimmered under the endless glow of ethereal starlight. The floor was a polished mirror reflecting the heavens, and the air carried a weight of divine authority. Five thrones were arranged in a semicircle, each belonging to a deity, their presence radiant and commanding.Selene, the Moon Goddess, sat at the center, her silver hair cascading down her back like a river of light. Her gaze was steady, but her luminous eyes carried the burden of sorrow. Beside her, Venus, the Goddess of Love, exuded an aura of soft warmth, though her expression was edged with concern. To the left, Hera, the Queen of the Gods, radiated power and authority, her piercing gaze fixed on Selene. Opposite them, two gods—Ares, the God of War, and Apollo, the God of the Sun—sat in contemplative silence, their expressions unreadable.The silence was broken by Hera, her voice sharp as a blade. "His curse grows stronger day by day, Luna," she
Kaiden's Point of View Finally, three months have elapsed and the time has come. I had already left the pack premises 30 minutes ago and was on my way to the silver abyss. That was the only place that came to mind.It was very far from the pack, and void from people except rogues and spirits. So, even if a few rogues have to die tonight, then that’s great. It's better than having to kill innocent people.The wind tore at my face as I sprinted through the forest, the trees blurring past me in dark streaks. My lungs burned with each breath, but I couldn’t stop—not now. The Silver Abyss was still far, and the curse was clawing its way to the surface faster than I’d anticipated.My muscles screamed in protest, but I forced them to keep moving. The pack was behind me, far enough for now, but if I didn’t make it to the abyss in time, the distance wouldn’t matter.The first wave of heat hit me hard, like someone had poured boiling water into my veins. I stumbled, catching myself on a tree t
Kaiden’s Point of View“Slade,” I murmured, my voice barely audible even to myself. “If I can’t end this curse…” I swallowed hard, the weight of the words nearly crushing me. “…then I think it’s better I die.”And with that, I stepped out of the room, leaving behind the echoes of the past and the burden of my unspoken fears.I headed straight to my room, my steps heavy as if the weight of the world pressed down on my shoulders. The grand oak doors creaked slightly as I pushed them open, revealing the familiar sanctuary that was my private space. The room was vast yet inviting, with tall windows draped in thick, dark curtains that barely let in the moonlight.A massive bed with neatly arranged silver-gray sheets dominated the center, its frame carved with intricate patterns of wolves and crescent moons.Despite the elegance and comfort, the room felt cold, a reflection of the emptiness I carried within.I sat on the edge of the bed, my elbows resting on my knees as I cradled my aching h
Kaiden's Point of ViewBut there was nowhere to run. The hall’s doors had been sealed shut, as was tradition during the celebration to ensure privacy. The very walls meant to protect us became their prison.I leaped unto a man near the center of the room. My claws ripped through him like paper. His blood sprayed across the wooden floor, a stark contrast to the golden glow of the lanterns.One by one, I ended them all. The laughter and joy that had filled the room only moments ago were replaced by the stench of blood and the silence of death.And then I turned to my parents.They stood frozen at the head of the hall, their faces pale. My mother clung to my father, her wide eyes brimming with tears. “Kaiden,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Please… please stop.”For a moment, something inside me hesitated. But the curse would not be denied. A low growl escaped my throat as I crouched, ready to lunge. My claws gleamed in the flickering light, and I could feel the raw power coiling wi
