My heart was no longer a presence within me. It felt like I was enduring a slow, torturous death with every passing second. The pain of mate rejection was something no one would want to go through, even if they were not a full-fledged werewolf yet.In the world of werewolves, the moon goddess typically assigns us a destined mate. In my case, even though I had not yet shifted into my wolf form and could not fully experience the mating bond, the rejection by one's mate, especially if they hold a higher rank, brings about a kind of suffering that goes beyond the mental realm. It's as if your physical body has endured unimaginable torture, and the higher the rank of the rejecting mate, the more intense the pain becomes.I had been confined to that prison for what felt like an eternity, and I would have completely lost track of time if not for the occasional reminder from the guard, who informed me of the passing days.Ever since Troy's rejection, my appetite had vanished. I could no longe
TROY’S POV."You are just like your father, You and your father keep hurting me, over and over again." She screamed.The accusation that I was just like my father hit me like a dagger to the heart.My father, the previous Alpha of our pack, had been a ruthless and unforgiving leader. He had made decisions without considering the consequences on individuals' lives, and his actions had caused pain and suffering to many. I had always strived to be different, to be a better Alpha, and to lead with compassion and understanding.But here, in this heated argument with Blue, she had thrown my worst fear back at me. The fear that I might have inherited some of my father's heartlessness. I felt a pang of pain in my chest, an ache I could not ignore. I had hoped to protect my pack from any potential threat, and that had led me to make difficult decisions. I had convinced myself that it was for the greater good, but now I questioned if I had gone too far.As I looked into Blue's tear-filled eyes
ALEX’S POV.I stood before our devoted army, their faces filled with determination, ready to confront our enemies. The moonlight was our symbol, and tonight, we would use its light to guide us to victory."Are you guys ready for battle?" I asked, my voice carrying across the gathering.The moonlight army responded with a resounding cheer, their unity and enthusiasm fueling my own determination."Are you ready to bring justice to the moonlight pack and save your Alpha?" I asked again, emphasizing our mission.This time, the response was even louder, the cheers echoing through the night. Our pack's loyalty and commitment to protecting our Alpha and our way of life were unwavering. It was time to face our enemies.As dusk settled in, our moonlight warriors prepared for battle. Their rigorous training had prepared them for this moment, but we also knew that the Redmoon pack would be a tough rival. We expected that they would be on high alert, ready to defend their territory.My thoughts,
TROY'S POV.I was frozen in shock. Blue had sacrificed herself to protect me. Her bitter cry echoed in my ears, and I felt as if my heart had been torn from my chest. She took the hit that was meant for me. The silver knife struck her in the stomach, and a scream escaped her lips as she fell to the ground.My trembling hands reached out to catch her falling form, tears blurring my vision. The battlefield seemed to fade into the background as I held her, my fingers stained with her blood. The world narrowed down to Blue and the agonizing realization of what she had done for me."No! Blue!" I cried out, the sound of my voice a distant echo. I clung to her, my despair and helplessness washing over me in waves. The battle raged on around us, but at that moment, the only thing that mattered was the woman I held in my arms, the woman who had just taken a deadly blow meant for me.I had already lost her once when I rejected her as my mate, and I could not bear the thought of losing her again
ALEX’S POV.I stood quietly by Blue's bedside, watching her fragile form as she lay unconscious. The room was dimly lit, with the soft hum of medical equipment. "Blue, please, you have got to recover soon," I urged gently, my voice filled with concern.Blue's face was pale, and her breathing was shallow. I worry about her, knowing the severity of her injuries. The silver knife had caused severe damage, and the doctor had mentioned that she was healing very slowly. The mere touch of silver could kill a werewolf, and if that knife had struck her heart, I would have lost her forever.I found myself wishing for her to wake up, to show some sign of improvement."Blue, you have to fight this," I whispered, my voice barely audible. " Tyga is here, and he is worried sick about you. We all are."I reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, my fingers staying on her cold skin. Blue had always been a strong and resilient member of our pack, and it was painful to see her in t
TROY’S POV.“We need to perform the mating bond,” The doctor said."The bond must be performed as soon as possible.""We have a problem," I admitted, my voice heavy with regret.The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to me."Why is that?" Tyga asked his expression a mix of concern and confusion.The weight of my mistake bore down on me as I spoke. "We are no longer mates," I admitted, my shoulders slumping in shame."What?" Alex exclaimed, clearly shocked by the revelation."Are you saying you rejected Blue as your mate?" Tyga asked, his brows furrowing in disbelief.I nodded, my heart heavy with guilt. "I did not mean to, Tyga. We were going through a rough patch, and I made a terrible mistake. I rejected her, but now, I regret it more than anything.""Wow, you are even worse than I thought," Alexx remarked, his voice filled with disdain."I did not mean it," I defended myself, though I knew that my words held little weight."You are just making excuses," Alex retorted, h
I slowly opened my eyes, and at first, everything looked blurry. It was like trying to see through a foggy window. I tried to move, to understand where I was, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive.I blinked again, attempting to clear the last traces of fog from my vision. The figures came into sharper focus, and my heart skipped a beat as I recognized them. One was Troy, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and joy, a smile gracing his lips. The other figure was harder to discern, but after a while, I realized it was Alex.I looked at them both, and it slowly hit me that I was waking up and coming back to the real world. It was like I had been in a deep, dark place, and these two were helping me find my way back. "Alex?" I whispered, my voice barely more than a breath. But it was enough.His face lit up with a bright smile. "Blue, you are awake," he said, his voice trembling with relief.I tried to move, and to my surprise, there was no pain. It was as if my injuries had mirac
It had been over a week, and I had not spoken to either Alex or Troy. The atmosphere within our pack was tense, with people whispering and questioning why I had saved Troy instead of sticking to our tradition of dealing with our enemies' offspring.I knew I needed to address the pack and clear the air, but I could not muster the courage. The whole situation had left me feeling confused and torn. How could I make them understand that Troy was not at fault and that we did not need to follow our old ways? And I had to find a way to tell them he was not only my mate but also their future Alpha. It all felt overwhelming.I was still angry with Troy for throwing me in prison without hearing me out and for rejecting me. Those feelings weighed heavily on me. I wanted to talk to him, to make him understand the hurt he had caused, but I also knew that being angry would not solve anything. I wondered if Alex had a point when he said I made things too easy for Troy. Maybe he did. However, I also
Chapter 138 – Blue’s POVThe world outside felt eerily calm as we prepared to set out. Emily’s sobs echoed in my mind as I stood by the window, staring into the night. It was the calm before the storm—a silence that weighed heavily on all of us.Troy’s presence beside me was steadying. He placed a hand on my shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. “We’ll get him back, Blue. We’ll bring Nathan home.”I nodded, steeling myself. “And we’ll finally end this madness.”Emily sat nearby, her face pale and drawn, clutching the last remnants of hope she had. Her brother’s life hung in the balance, and we couldn’t fail.Troy stepped forward, the sword from his uncle’s chest now sheathed at his side. “This might be more than just saving Nathan. If Emily’s right, this man—the one behind all of this—could be tied to the secrets of the cult. He might even be the one who’s been orchestrating the attacks against our pack.”I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in.“You don’t think…?” I he
TROY’S POV.I opened the door letting Blue inside. It was the room where my dad had kept some of his possessions before he died. I have not been inside here for a while and I felt nostalgic.“What are we doing here?” Blue asked, “You never wanted me in this room,” “Yep but I think it’s important now,” I said walking to where there was a pile of boxes, and underneath was an old wooden chest. I removed all the boxes out of my way and brought out a sword from it, carved by the finest blacksmith, and showed it to Blue. “What’s that got to do with anything,” Blue asked, placing both hands on her side.“It belongs to my uncle,” I said. “ Okay, and? Do you intend to use it to fight off the enemies? Because we have to know who they are before we can fight them.” “Look,” I said while showing Blue the fine craft design embedded on the swords. “You see what is written here?” Blue eyes widen in surprise as she reads the words “Deep in the assay,”“Exactly,” I answered proudly and carefully

EMILY’S POV. Humming a turn mindlessly, I strolled along the lonely part leading to my house. It was a shortcut that I had not used in a while but today I decided to take that lane because I was exhausted and needed to rest.While walking I noticed an unusual sound and I turned around to see a man standing beside me. He was wearing all black and wore a mask too, so I could only see a part of his face. “Hey, “ I said trying to hide my fear, it was strange to see another person walking in the same lane because it's usually quiet and nobody uses it as much. He did not say anything, so I kept walking fast and trying to be on high alert.The man eventually caught up with him. At this point, the hair on the back of my neck was standing and I did not know if to run or pretend to be brave. So I choose the latter.“Are you sure you did not take anything from that room,” he asked.“What are you talking about?” I asked, walking faster, trying to get away from this creep. “You know exactly
BLUE’S POV. I went upstairs to tend to my crying babies. I entered the room to find Troy was already there, gently rocking one of the babies side by side and whispering soothing words to both of our little ones. I placed my hands on his shoulder, thankful for his help before going to carry the other baby to breastfeed.I settled into the nearby rocking chair, cradling our second baby close, and chuckled softly. “They like having a lot of attention, don’t they?”He nodded, his gaze shifting between our babies. “They do,” he said, and then smiling softly, he continued ” They are just like their mama, always wanting all of my attention,”“What do you mean?” I pouted, “I definitely do not disturb like this kids,”“Whatever you say, darling, whatever you say,” he responded and kissed my forehead. “They took after their father, not me,” I protested. “I was a sweet little girl growing up and never cried over nothing,” I said proudly.“Even that statement sounds like a lie,” he said cockil
BLUE’S POV.“Hi, what brought you here, this early? I hope you are okay,” I said to Emily as soon as I walked into the office where she was. I noticed she seemed uncomfortable and bothered about something.“Good morning, Blue,” she greeted, “I am sorry for disturbing you but there is something that I need you to see,” “What is that ?” I asked, curious.“It does not look like much at first sight but I think it holds the answers we have been looking for and hopefully it will help us trace the people who experimented on Alex,” Emily said, then unzipped her backpack and brought out some drawings with strange drawing and a green book which looked like something I have seen before. “Where did you get that book from?” I asked while pointing at it. “My brother gave it to me, he said Alex had lent it to him before his death,” she paused studying my reaction, and then continued, “At first glance, it looks like it has nothing to do with anything that has been happening lately and just any regu
BLUE’S POV. “Sabrina, Sabrina,” I called out, turning around in the darkness, the place was void and empty and I had been calling her number for what felt like hours even though it was just a couple of minutes. “Sabrina,” I screamed. “Stop being a coward and fucking answer me, Sabrina,” The atmosphere changed and I immediately knew that Sabrina was nearby. “Stop shouting I can hear you quite alright, I am not deaf,” Sabrina said in a soft sing-song manner. “Then what took you so long to answer me? Cause I would have sworn you were going deaf,” I spat in anger.“Easy there now Child, your anger is too much and we don't like it when. People visit our arena with that much anger, it disrupts the balance of my realm,” she said calmly. The way she sounded calmly made me even more angry.“What do you want Child,” she asked softly, “I am guessing I already know why judging from your anger but I would like to hear you speak for yourself,” “Why did you not inform me earlier, you said you w
EMILY’S POV. I walked up very early in the morning clutching tightly the bag which contained Alex’s drawing and potentially the evidence we needed. I heard the bag tightly throughout the time, afraid that it might disappear or someone would come to steal it from me. I needed to speak with Blue as soon as possible and I went into the shower for a long bath to calm my tired nerves. I got out of the shower and dried my hair when I noticed something was missing. I looked around and the bag was nowhere to be found. I started to panic. Had someone broken into my house when I was bathing? I quickly searched the entire house when I saw Nathan, my younger brother holding the paper in his hands and the other scattered on the ground.“Nathan, what are you doing ?” I shouted at him which startled him. He turned to look at me and immediately he saw my angry expression and said “I am so sorry Emily,” he asked. “What the hell is wrong with you,” I scolded, while arranging all the paper together
EMILY’S POV. “Don’t even try to lie to me, Emily, I have known you long enough to know when something is bothering you,” Veronica replied, looking at me intensely.“Nothing is on my mind. I am fine,” I responded while wiping my hands dry. “Is it about Alex, because if it is, you know you can talk to me,” I responded. The mention of Alex, felt like she put a dagger through my heart and I could feel the intensity of the pain I had been trying so desperately to avoid and I started crying again. Veronica walked up to me and started hugging me and patting my back. “Is okay sweetie?” he whispered into my ears as I cried into her shoulders, “let it all out?” I sobbed uncontrollably into her arms for what felt like forever. “I don't know if I would ever stop to feel this pain?” I sniffed and I lifted myself from her warm hug to look at her. “I don't know if this pain would ever go away, Veronica. It hurt too much,”“I understand you,” she said as she tucked a loose strand of my hair be
