CRYSTINA’S POV

When Luka said the mating ceremony was in three days, I had thought he was joking and would probably change his mind but for the next days that followed, I realized how real it was. Right on the morning of the third day, reality dawned on me. As I stood in front of the mirror in my white and nude long gown that was flowing down my feet and braided hair, I was sure that I was about to become the Luna of the Moon Valley Pack.

“Are you ready?” Mary asked me as she walked into my room with a wide grin on her face. She was even happier than I was. I was the bride, I was supposed to be the happiest but deep inside of me, I couldn’t find that happiness that I truly wanted.

So many questions are running through my head and I can’t help but wonder if this is what I actually want. I don’t hate the idea but neither am I a fan of it.

I breathed loudly. “Yes,” I replied.

“Good. You look so beautiful in that dress, dear,”

Forcing a smile, I replied. “Thank you for picking such

    CRYSTINA’S POV Even though I knew what would happen if I returned to the house with Luka, I still did. I would prefer anything other than staying in that hall with 97 percent of people that I didn’t know anything about. As we walked out of the hall hand in hand, I could feel some hard glares being directed at me but I didn’t look back because I couldn’t bother with bitter people. I have more things to worry about than that. “My room or yours?” He asked as soon as we walked in. Miss Mary and Rolf were already back in the apartment by the time we returned. I was nervous and scared but at the same time, I didn’t want my fear to be known. “Yours,” I replied. He held my hand again and we walked into his room together. I sat on his bed as I stared at my fidgeting hands. I clamped them together, trying to calm myself down. It’s not a big deal, all mates do this thing. They mate and mark each other, it's normal. I looked up when Luka scoffed. He was standing at the far edge of the room,

    LUKA’S POV I walked into the bathroom with another bout of heartache and this time again, the cause of it was the beautiful woman lying on my bed right now. The first time I felt like this was when it dawned on me that she cared about others more than me. Last night was magical, the entire day had been but the intimate moment I’d been able to spend with her had been more magical. It was the best moment of my life. There are no words to describe it. Last night, I’d imagined waking up with a happy mate beside me. I’d imagined kissing her, making love to her over again, and letting the world know she was mine, not fake smiles and anger. I woke up before her but I didn’t stand up because I couldn’t bare waking her up. What I didn’t expect was for her to wake up and try to block the mate bond we share. I could feel her disappointment and her desire to block it. When she thought she shared her words with her wolf, she had actually pushed that anger to me. My heart ached every time I rem

    CRYSTINA’S POV I was having lunch the next day when it occurred to me that I wouldn’t be seeing Nico and Paige again and it was all my fault. If only I had controlled myself at the party and drink just a cup of whatever that mixture was, things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand. These two are the only friends that I know and now, I have to go through the rest of my high school days without them. A lone tear slipped down my eyes as I recalled each of her memories since I was nine years old till now and thinking about how I would go on without them was painful as well. “Luna, are you okay?” Miss Mary asked as she noticed the tears that slipped down my eyes. “I’m fine, thank you,” I quickly replied. “No, you’re not fine, you were crying, Luna,” I’m still not used to the ‘Luna’ name that I’m now being called with and I find it difficult to stay accustomed to it. Every time someone calls me a Luna, my headaches are like never before. “Can you please stop calling me Luna?” I asked. “W

    CRYSTINA’S POV “Do you think it’s normal that he wants to leave despite just getting here not even up to a month ago?” I asked another question about Harry. She raised an eyebrow, giving me a suspicious look. “He doesn’t want me to be alone in the new town. Moreover, I’m just leaving for a few months not forever,” “Does his family approve of this?” She groaned. “Why are you asking so many questions?”It was my turn to shrug this time. “I don’t know. I just want to be sure that you’ll be safe,” She gave me the stink eye. “Harry is not dangerous. He’s fine with leaving town with me and I’m cool with it. It’s all good. Don’t worry too much about me,” “I just want…” I stopped the statement I was about to make when I felt Luka on the mindlink trying to pass a message to me. “Hey, where are you?” He asked through the mindlink. I’m new to it and I froze up immediately after I heard his voice. His voice even sounded better through the mindlink. I could visualize his sexy lips and had t

    CRYSTINA’S POV “Crystina,” He called out from the other end of the line. I quickly composed myself and placed the phone back to my ear. “Hello,” I’ve been thinking about what I would say to him for three months and all I could come up with was a stupid ‘hello’ Damn, this wasn’t the way I planned it. “You called me,” He reminded me after a few minutes of silence between the two of us. “Yes, I wanted to ask if you could permit Paige to return to the pack. She’s done with her exams and wants to come home with her boyfriend,” He was silent for a long while and if not for his steady, heavy breathing I would’ve checked the phone to see if he was still on the line. “I see that nothing has changed. You’re still the same,” “What?” “You still care about other people more than you care about me. My Luna didn’t call to ask me if I was okay but she called about her friends again like every other time,” “It’s not what you think,” I argued, hoping he would remember how much I called him d

    LUKA’S POV Five months have gone since I last stepped foot into the Moonvalley pack. It has actually felt like a decade. I know I usually leave the pack for a few years at times but this time, five months felt like an eternity. That was because of one single person that I’d missed so terribly. She was the reason why I’m back so quickly. I could’ve been gone for a year or two but knowing she was back at home made me leave that place. I had left angrily and that wasn’t supposed to be. I wouldn’t lie if I say I was blinded by my anger immediately after I left. I felt hurt, sad and angry because of how she made everything else a priority except for me. Ignoring her calls wasn’t easy but at the same time, I knew if I heard her voice, I might leave everything behind and go running to her. After she stopped calling for three days, I started calling her back but unfortunately, the calls never went through and that was when I realized she had blocked me. I couldn’t really judge her for

    LUKA’S POV I left the airport with the third car that was still waiting for me. Two of my warriors were inside the car ad so also was my Beta, Baba. I knew the workload would’ve doubled for me as well here since I left without proper preparation and most times, I feel bad for my Beta. “Are there any updates I should be aware of?” I asked my Beta. I was already worried about what I would say to Crystina when I get home so I needed something to preoccupy my thoughts before then. “Yes, Alpha. My mate and I had a new girl last week,” “Wow, congratulations Baba. I thought you stopped giving birth already,” I mentioned laughing. He didn’t take offense because he knew I was joking. “I’m just in my late thirties, Alpha. Cut me some slack,” He replied, laughing as well. “I’ll add that to my list of important things to do. Has there been any attacks or incidents since I left?” “None, Alpha. The pack has been rather peaceful. If anything had happened, we would’ve called you and informed y

    CRYSTINA’S POVWhat was I thinking when I allowed Luka to kiss me that way? I was still angry at the fact that he brought a new girl into the pack without putting my feelings into consideration. I was also surprised and angry when I went into my room hours ago and I found out it was almost empty. Why? The great Alpha Luka had ordered for my things to be removed to his room. “You should’ve talked to him more instead of walking out like that, Crystina,” Kris, my wolf scolded me.“I’m surprised you still care after seeing him with another woman,” She had tried reaching out to Luka’s wolf again when we were arguing but I stopped her and blocked her out. “I don’t think anything is going on between them but I swear that I’ll tear that girl into pieces if I see her again,” “Do the same to Luka when he’s back. Use that same energy, you shameless woman,” I rolled my eyes at her. “We can’t hurt our mate, that’s off the board,” “Whatever, Kris. Whatever!” I was too tired to argue so I close

    Paige's POV "I didn't expect to see your face again or even see you marked by my brother," I rolled my eyes as I decided to ignore Carter no matter what. Gabriel and I together with Azel arrived at the palace two seconds ago and I'm so unfortunate the person who came to meet us at the door was no one else but mother fucking Carter. "Hello to you, Carter," I said with a fake big smile. "I know that smile is fake, Paige. You can't fool me," "Maybe you should stop stressing the girl out so much," Azel advised. We hadn't even walked into the palace yet because of Gabriel. Gabriel was speaking to a woman on the far end side of ours. "Aww, don't get too jealous, Paige. He marked you already, he can't jump to another woman just like that," "You're a pandemic," I told him. He wasn't just an arch nemesis to Gabriel, he was a problem to everyone around him except Azel. I've been thinking of so many ways to get rid of him and I just couldn't come up with something that'll kill

    Paige's POV"Do you want me to come over there?" Crystina asked from the other end of the line. I shook my head as if she could see me.After several days of mopping and locking myself in my room, I found the courage to call my parents and I asked them to tell me the truth and not leave any stone unturned. Even though they were both adamant at first, my mother cracked first. She told me she had begged my father not to do it but he didn't listen. My father didn't talk to me even after I was done talking to my mom and I didn't care. They lied to me all my life, they made me hate a different person, they almost made me leave Gabriel and made an innocent person apologize for the sins his father didn't commit. I asked them not to contact me anymore. I told my mother she should be rest assured that I'll be fine because it's obvious I'll be safer with the Lucien's brothers than with my own family. "You don't have to. Moreover, we'll be leaving for the palace in a day," I replied Crystina

    Paige's POV "Lucien didn't do it," Carter said. He picked up a grape from the fruit bowl, ate one, and offered me the next one. I shook my head. "Who did?" He shrugged. "I wasn't really particularly interested in the story because it would've been more interesting if they'd said my father did it," I clenched my teeth. His answer wasn't what I wanted and his words were beginning to piss me off. "Carter, who did?" "Why do I think you're angry? I can smell your anger," "Because I need a fucking answer," I yelled."It was you, right? You're the girl in the story," "That's none of your business, I just need an answer," "No wonder that bastard hasn't marked you yet. He's probably stalling from marking a wolfless bitch," I clamped my lips together, forcing myself to swallow whatever it is I wanted to say. "Listen, Carter. You can keep the tale, I don't want to know," I turned, ready to leave again. "What happened to you was tragic," It was his game and the little time I'd spent

    Paige's POV"Someone looks ready for training," Gabriel teased as I walked down the stairs. I was in my training gear already excited for the training. How could someone be so excited about getting exhausted and sweaty? That someone is me by the way. I know it's going to be hard but I'm ready in every way. I've been training for a month already and I get stronger each time. "I guess," I shrugged. I walked past him to pick up a bottle of water from the fridge. When I turned back to look at him, I caught him staring at my ass. Since the last time, we haven't made an attempt to make out not to talk about having sex. It's not like the spark died because I could still feel the sexual tension between us but I believe something else changed in Gabriel. I can't know what's going through his head but it's a lot sometimes and he acts on it. He thinks I'll break if he touched me. If I want him, I have to pull him in myself. "Quit staring at my ass, commander," He gave a small smile and looked

    Paige's POVI tried to wrap my head around what Gabriel meant by his words and I couldn't bring myself to find an answer to that. I was shocked by his words and I couldn't understand it. I've been playing with Azel because he was too busy to have my time and I didn't want to be a bitch by demanding his attention every time. "What are you talking about, Gabriel?" He clicked his tongue. "You don't want me around you. Don't try to deny it, Piage," I had to interrupt him at that point. "That's not true, Gabriel. You've been busy and I didn't want to be an additional problem by complaining," "You've been giving your attention to Azel. You don't even look at me when I come home either in the day or at night," "That's because you don't stay for more than five minutes when you come home during the day and at night, you come home late. I try to stay awake and wait for you but you just never come," He stared at me, ran his hand into his hair, and slumped into his chair. "I stay for five

    Paige's POV"Get off my path, you demon," I yelled at Azel as I tabbed the game console with more anger. He was growling, yelling back at me. "Move your ass, you're not a snail for fuck sake, Princess," I snarled at him and he winked. I still don't understand how I get so worked up about these games and Azel can still compose his shit to look like gold. Two weeks have passed since Gabriel and I declared how important we were to each other. He's been busy at the Pack, rarely having time for me. Still, I always wake up to breakfast that he made while the chef he hired fixes dinner for me. Most times, when I wake up in the morning, he's gone and I don't even have the privilege to see him before bed. I miss him so much but I didn't want to complain and act like a clingy mate so I shut my trap and let him do whatever he wanted. Sometimes, I would sneak into the training ground in the early hours of the morning to watch him train with the others and when I'm satisfied with his looks, I'

    Paige's POV"Do you really want to know the answer to that?" I asked him. He stared at me, his eyebrows furrowed. I knew he was surprised by my question but I believed at the same time that he needed to be mentally prepared for the truth. "I think so. If you want to tell me, then I want to know," I nodded. I sat up, leaning away from his body and into the sofa so we could sit opposite each other. We stared at ourselves for a while before I looked away. "Originally, I'm from Lucien's pack," I said, holding my breath."You're a Northerner," he said, in disbelief. I nodded."Yes, I'm a Northerner. According to my parents, they said my dad was a Beta to your dad at some point before we had to leave. I don't know how true that is anyway," He appeared to be thinking about something. "I know every Beta that my dad had because I had to work with them at some point. What's your family name?" "We go by Drews now but previously, we were called Rowards" Gabriel shook his head. "That doesn

    Paige's POVAfter having our breakfast by evening, we settled into the living room and put on the TV. "Do you think we should play some video games instead?" Gabriel asked. I shook my head.I was waiting for him to sit beside me so I could cuddle with him. His body felt warm and I wanted more of his warmth. I so longed for him beside me that I wanted to cry. Whatever was happening to me is something that I don't understand but now, I don't think I can take a step away from this man."I don't know how to play any video games," His eyes widened in surprise. Laughter kissed my lips but I held it in. I was actually surprised to see him surprised. "Well, that makes two of us," He dropped the game console, and the laughter I'd been holding dropped out of my mouth. He sat beside me and watched as I laughed, a smile dancing on his lips."Why did you ask me to play a game with you when you didn't know how to play yourself?" He shrugged. "I don't know, I just thought you would know how to a

    Paige's POVWhen we finally came out of the room, it was past midday. Well, the shower took longer than expected and we spent two hours cooped up in the four walls of my bathroom while he banged the fucking life out of me. My toes still curl at the thoughts of him filling me up. A smile lingers on my lips and my heart softens like a cellophane paper. I can still feel his taste on my tongue and his touches on my body.I needed more, it was as if I became addicted to Gabriel all of a sudden. I don't think I can get enough of those kisses and his touches and the way my body shook with tremors every time he filled me up to the brim. I couldn't control my screams. At some point, I had to cover my mouth with my palm but Gabriel removed my hand and told me it was okay. I could scream all I wanted, he loved it that way. Quickly, he replaced my hands with his lips. Right there in the bathtub, he took me thrice while I molded my body against his, my tiny legs wrapped around his body and his h
