I let out a blood-curdling scream, my fingers scraped against the dirt and my back was arched in a painful angle. I screamed again, this time crying for it to stop. White hot pain ran down my entire body, coursing through my veins and rendering me in total agony,

"Stop!" I screamed, nails digging deeper into the moist soil, "Please, stop!"

It ended quickly and my body dropped limply against the ground. Theo was quick to rush to my side, cradling my upper body on his lap.

"Hey," He called gently, pushing the damp tendrils of hair stuck to my face away,

I smiled weakly, it felt like a thousand bricks had fallen on my body. I was too weak to move, my limbs laid sprawled messily,

"You did good," He said encouragingly causing my lips to quirk. We didn't say a word to each other, silently agreeing to remain on the dirt, his fingers rubbing soothing circles on my face.

I clutched his other arm for support, rising to a siting position. I was still too weak to sit on my own so I relaxed my bac

    We trudged through the room, my legs dragging against the ground. One of my arm was slung over Cora's shoulder, she had wrapped one hand around my waist, holding me upright,"Come on, we're almost there," She grunted, pulling me forward. I mumbled something under my breath, bobbing my head,She pushed the door open and we walked out the door, the door closing shut behind us. Another crack hit my spine and I gasped, arching back,"What's wrong?" She fearfully asked, clutching my hand, "Are you okay?"I nodded again, muttering a yes. My entire body felt hot, my throat scorched and it felt like I was going to throw up any moment from now."I'm fine," I said, my breaths coming out in short pants. "Fine."She arranged the arm that was on her shoulder and resumed walking, moving slowly. We turned in the direction of the stairs but someone popped out of nowhere, startling both of us,Jessica narrowed her eyes at the two of us, "What the fuck are you two doing?"I felt Cora stiffen beside me

    I tried to peer out the tinted windows but it was of no use, everything seemed dark and gloomy from the inside. So I looked back down at my fingers, my leg was bouncing up and down, nervousness twisting in my gut.I still hadn't forgotten what Cora said last night. If what she said was true and I was a hundred percent sure that it was, then we were all in danger today. My eyes slowly went over to the she-devil, she sat across me, her head leaning against the backrest of her chair and her eyes closed.I wanted to punch the satisfied smirk on her face and the more I looked at her, the higher than urge grew. I quickly looked away, my legs bouncing with more aggressiveness now, "Can you stop that?" My eyes flickered to the blonde by my side, She had an irritated expression and her gaze was narrowed, "What you're doing with your legs, It's annoying and loud." I could feel everyone staring at me now and when I looked around, sure enough, I was the object of attention. My cheeks burned and

    I narrowly avoid another punch, sending a sharp kick to his side. He growled, swiping his clawed finger at me sending me to the ground. My back made contact with the rocks, the sound of splashing water echoing in the quiet space.My attacker laughed menacingly, steering closer to me. He stood in front of me, his legs on each side of my body. I groaned, trying to shift away but my elbow scraped against another sharp rock causing me to gasp in pain."You lose," He moved to touch me and I quickly turned my face away, shutting my eyes in fear.I heard a loud growl and then a crash, my eyes flew open and I saw Cora standing over my now unconscious attacker. Cora looked her shoulder at me,"You're a shitty fighter," She walked closer to me, stretching an arm.I stared skeptically at it and she scoffed, rolling her eyes, "If I was going to kill you, I would've done so a long time ago."Sighing, I pushed forward grabbing her outstretched hand. She pulled me up and I managed to rise to my feet

    My feet were quick against the ground, the exit was getting nearer with each step I took. I could hear them behind me, their pounding footsteps chasing after me.My fingers wrapped tightly around the gem, and I pumped my legs to move faster, trepidation stirring in my gut. The light was brighter now, I was close.Just a little more.Just a little more.I urged myself, jumping towards the cave entrance. I felt it just as my feet connected with the dry ground outside, a claw snipping the ends of my hair. When I turned, I saw one of the wolves glaring at me, raising a hand to the hair, tiny tendrils of my hair had gotten stuck to the ends of his claws. He huffed, dropping his arms in disappointment,"Miss Dahlia Winchester has found the second gem!" A court maid announced loudly and light clapping filled the air. I caught Theo's gaze from where I stood and he gave me a slow but encouraging nod. I smiled back, raising the gem above my head,Lady Calloway grinned proudly, clapping even ha

    "Is that supposed to be a form of punishment?"It was Theo who asked this and the dowager nodded in response. However, Jessica smiled widely, pumping her chest up, "Yes, your majesty," The way she said it. The way her eyes glittered with mischief. I knew then that somehow Jessica knew that I was hiding more than my identity, somehow she knew that I'm an half-shifter.Was.But still, I couldn't shift in front of them. I hadn't even told Theo about my wolf and if I revealed that I was a white wolf, I had no idea how they would treat me. Swallowing, I stepped forward making Jessica's smile falter,"You want me to strip myself in front of all these people. Isn't that what you're insinuating?" She balked, eyes widening, "What? No-No, that's not what I-""Then what else would you possibly mean?" I cut her off, raising a hand, "If I shift, my clothes would be shredded and once I shift back, I would be naked. Or perhaps do you plan on giving me snakeskin?" Snakeskin was an apparel worn by

    We pushed the last of the bag into the trunk before proceeding to slam the door shut. Cora blew out a heavy exhale, smoothing her hair with a palm,"Thanks," She said, her voice breathy, "That's the last of it." I smiled and nodded, "I didn't realize you brought so many bags. Just how much clothes are in there?"She chuckled at my comment, motioning for me to follow her to the entrance of the van. The other girls were hanging around as well, most of them immersed in their phones and taking pictures,"Enough to open a mini store, perhaps?" I snorted causing her to bump her shoulder against mine, "I'm kind of glad that I'll be leaving. I miss my home already, all these forest and trees were starting to make me nauseous."That piqued my interest and I fully turned to face her, "Oh, really? What are used to then?"She smiled lazily, shutting her eyes and leaning her head backwards. The peaceful look in her face reminded me of one who was reminiscing of a good memory,"Water. We had a lar

    I felt an oppressive shadow above me, nestling its form between the sides of my body. I tried to open my eyes but found that I could not, it was almost as if they were glued shut."I warned you," The disembodied voice crooned, "I warned you to stay away but you didn't listen." I struggled to move, to find an escape from whatever this was. It was fruitless, my hands and legs were bound and my eyes still refused to open.I felt thread-like whispers over my neck, it was fragile moving over my skin like silk. I stilled when the shadow moved closer, breathing loudly on my face. I scrunched my nose, the rancid smell emitting from its mouth made me want to throw up."Now," The voice whispered, clearer this time, "You die."At that moment, my eyes flew open meeting Jessica's face. Only that it wasn't her, the face I was seeing should be meant for that of a monster. Twisted, gnarly and darkened. I opened my mouth to scream but the monster pressed her hand over my neck, squeezing tightly,I ch

    "Ma'am, I'm afraid you can't enter."I scoffed, trying to push my way past but they stood their ground, "You have to let me through. I need to see the King!" One of the guard, the blonde one with a jerk face scowled at me, "Do you have a permit or were you in any way scheduled to meet him beforehand?" "I-uh. No," I said weakly causing him to roll his eyes. He pointed behind me, from the direction I came from,"Leave. Before we make you."I huffed in disbelief, placing my hands on my hips, "Oh really? I'm not going to move an inch from here until you let me see him."Jerkface snorted, shrugging a shoulder, "Suit yourself."I ignored him, facing his companion, the kinder one. I clapped my palms together in a pleading manners, "Please sir, I have to see him. It's urgent. A matter of life and death."He opened his mouth to say something but Jerkface rudely cut him off, "Don't even think of it!" He faced me, grabbing both of my shoulders, "Leave!"I struggled back, shoving his chest, "L

    |SIX YEARS LATER|Castle Black, Pack Black Haven(Capital city).Another chapter. Another day, combined with hours of waiting and anticipating his return. It is cold, dreadfully so and it seems like no matter the amount of layers I put on, I will still remain frozen. Maybe it is because I am pregnant but Paige says I should keep warm, so the child wouldn't end up a white wolf as his mother. But I am doubtful, the doctor already said that one of the children will take on my gene, I only wonder who."Your highness!"Today, I had nothing important to do, asides settling a dispute between two neighbours who claimed ownership over a goat. Unlike what I'd expected, a Queen didn't have much duties asides making sure that the capital was in order. It took months to help the beggars on the streets and even longer to put an end to alleyway bag thiefs. I had to persuade the council to fund an open house for the poor and needy plus two orphanages as well."Your Highness!!"At first, they were skep

    Gorgeous.The girl staring back at me was so unbelievably gorgeous, it shocked me to the core. Her snow blonde hair was thrown over a shoulder in beautiful waves, golden flowers were pinned in different angles of her head. Her ruby red lips would put the colour of blood to shame and kohl-rimmed eyes blinked back at me."You are truly stunning, Luna Emma," The voice from behind me was almost starling and I tore my eyes away from my reflection to stare at Lady Calloway who had an expression of awe etched on her features.I smiled grimly, looking back at the mirror. The gown I wore was a shimmering blue, the same shade as her eyes. Although she truly looked stunning, her lips were pulled down into a small frown.I blew out a heavy breath, twisting around to face the woman in front of me, "Do you really think I would be a good Queen?" I asked hesitantly, chewing on the inside of my cheek.Lady Calloway smiled gently, crouching and placing a palm above my hand, "I think you will make a gr

    I stirred on the bed, stretching my limbs with a pop. My eyelids fluttered open, lips parting to release a drawn out yawn,I winced softly, rubbing my exposed tummy. My vision was a bit blurry and I squinted when I turned towards the window, the bright morning light shining in my direction."You're awake," I whipped in the direction of the voice, my lips pulling into a lazy smile. Theo walked around the bed towards my end and leaned to press a soft kiss on my head. He was still shirtless but had donned on a different pair of pants that looked a little bit oversized. His hair was messy on top of his head and there was a twinkle in his eyes, one I hadn't seen before. "Sleep good?" I shook my head, pointing between my legs, "I feel sore," My voice came out as a small whine causing him to huff out a short laugh."I knew you would say that, hence I prepared a warm bath for you,."I frowned at his statement. Warm bath?My question was brought to a cease when he moved his hands beneath my

    The hem of my robe dragged across the floor as I walked, the candle was resting perfectly on the inside of my palm and I had to keep from wincing every time the hot wax dropped on my skin. It was dark, the moon hadn't fully risen yet all we had as illumination was the dim light of the bulbs overhead and the large rose-scented candles in our grip.The lady in front stopped suddenly, causing all of us to grind to a halt. She turned to look at me and for a moment, the corner of her lips curled upwards. Lad Calloway nudged her head towards the close door,"This is his chamber, wait inside until he comes." I inhaled deeply before expelling the air. In one swift motion, I turned towards the door and tipped my chin in a confident manner,"Open it," I said, my determined gaze set on the embellishments on the wooden entrance.Tonight was the night everyone had been anticipating, including me. The mating ceremony was a revered ritual among us, it was when two people either chosen or fated mate

    I took in a deep breath after explaining, watching warily for his reaction. His face was gloom and drawn tight, there was a little furrow between his brows which meant that he was still digesting everything.Finally, he exhaled before shifting to properly look at me, "Why didn't you tell me? I would've ripped the bastard's head right off."I smiled wryly, tightening our conjoined fingers together, "Trust me, I wanted to do that too. I debated if killing was the best idea and then choose not to do it.""Why?" He asked curiously and I chuckled softly, bumping my shoulders against his."Because," I started, drawling in a tired manner, "For people like Hansen, their lives matter less to them but their prestige on the other hand?" I shook my head, "That's what their entire world is built upon." Theo hummed thoughtfully, his eyes glazing over. Suddenly he smiled brightly, throwing an arm over my shoulder, "I'm glad I have such a smart mate."I rolled my eyes, stifling the giggle that was t

    I stared at my reflection in the large mirror, my fingers playing with the silk robe tied around my waist. After the whole contest yesterday, I was brought into the Queen's quarters and was given strict instructions not to leave there until instructed. Apparently, I had to be cleansed and purified before the mating process began.The dowager had asked me to phone my family and order them to be on their way so they would make it in time for the coronation. That was this morning and I haven't picked up my phone yet,"Black looks good on you,"I flinched, whipping around to face the intruder. Theo was casually leaning against the wall, arms crossed against his chest and a serious look in his eyes,I frowned, puzzled by his appearance, "How-when did you get here?"He shrugged, pushing himself from the wall and stalking towards me, "A while back,"I sighed and turned to face the morrow away, my fingers still fiddling with the knot in front. When he wrapped his large arms around my waist, I

    "Should I be scared or nervous?"I gave the man a grim smile, pushing the small cup of tea towards him before grabbing my own. I gingerly took a sip, savoring in the warm sweetness that invaded my tongue instantly,"Which one of the two do you think is more appropriate?" I asked, arching a brow when he pushed his cup away, a small gesture but one I caught nonetheless.I gave him a look, one he not-so-politely ignored, clearing his throat loudly, "I don't quite know, you're no longer a contestant anymore but the mate of the Alpha and future Queen of the entire werekind. It would be stupid not to feel some amount of petrification." My lips curled and I slowly placed the cup back on the table, smacking my lips together, "I'll be straight with you, Lord Hansen," That piqued his attention causing him to lean nearer, "I called you here for one specific reason,"Something akin to uneasiness flashed in his eyes but he quickly concealed it with a cocky smile, "Do tell," "Jessica." I said si

    When I was younger, I always wished that I would get like my sister's colour of wolf. Dahlia was my role model, everything she did, I copied and she loved it too so it was only natural that I got her colour. But sometimes, in the secret I would wish for my mother's colour too, hers was a beautiful grey and I loved the way the fur looked underneath the moonlight. Never in my life would I imagine being a white wolf. A wolf so powerful, they were regarded as too much for the werekind. A wolf so special, they were rare to find.So why, why did the moon goodness find me fit to become one?My eyes flew open, burning so bright and powerful. It felt like the sun was scorching me from inside and I couldn't help it. A piercing scream ripped its way from my chest and I curled into myself,My wolf emerged like lightning, spearing through my entire system. My eyes flew open and I shook my head but I realized that I wasn't in my human form anymore.Jessica looked stunned, her jaw was hanging open

    The arena was filled to the brim, I was very much certain of that. They had used the same place as the first round where we had to go through different obstacle courses, the same place where I had purposefully broken my leg in a bid to avoid what I was presently doing.I looked around me, at the wild crowd cheering and crying. Their sentences almost inaudible since they were all yelling at once, excitement and tension pooled in my stomach,My eyes met my opponent's but she wasn't focused on me, her gaze was on the crowd. She was smiling and waving at them as though they were chanting for her, probably they were I couldn't hear anything either ways. I wondered if Lord Hansen had told her that his plan had flopped and there was nothing holding me back now. I wondered if she knew just how dangerous I could be once I shifted."Werewolves and shewolves," Lady Calloway spoke through the loud microphone that carried her voice round the entire auditorium.
