VALERIAReese’s brows were furrowed in concentration, but there was an ease to his posture that I hadn’t seen before. There was a major turning point, not just for his business but for us. We had weathered so many storms, and now we were finally on the other side.As he finalized his report, many investors came rushing towards him, flashes of cameras on us as they all congratulated him."Accept my hearty congratulations, Mr. Reese Carter. This is an outstanding success indeed,” one of the investors said, smiling at him as they shook hands."Thank you. But please, this success doesn't belong to me alone but also to my amazing and beautiful wife, Mrs. Valeria Carter whom everything wouldn’t have been possible without," he announced, gesturing towards me, and instantly, all the attention turned towards me, taking me by surprise. Then he winked at me with a wide grin plastered on his face.My heart raced, but I quickly straightened up in front of the camera and gave my best smile despite
VALERIAIf someone had told me that our peaceful family vacation would be interrupted by the two monsters that had been terrorizing my life, I would have probably called them bluff.Just when I was finally having a shot at true happiness for once in my life, the universe decided to strike again.When would it be truly over?!I blinked, my mind struggling to comprehend what I was seeing. “What the fuck are you two doing here?” I growled, my voice low, dangerous. I felt the familiar burn of power bubbling beneath my skin, my hands curling into fists. “And where the hell are my kids?”Cynthia smirked, pushing a strand of her blonde hair out of her face. “Relax, Val. They’re safe. Just a little... detour.”I took a step forward, my body trembling with rage. “A detour?!” My voice rose, a storm building inside me. My eyes flashed, and I could feel the magic in my veins reacting to my anger. “You don’t get to come here and just—”“Easy,” Chase cut in, holding up his hands. “We didn’t come he
VALERIAChase let out a hollow laugh. "Of course I was! After she was found out, after we were cast out, what choice did I have? I had to survive. She needed me to survive. So we turned to other means—magic, black magic, and sorcery. I learned things that you can’t even imagine."My stomach churned, bile rising in my throat as the pieces began to fall into place. The separation. The years apart. The strange happenings that had plagued Reese since childhood. It had all been Chase. Every terrible moment had been a carefully orchestrated plan.Chase grinned wickedly, pacing again like a predator sizing up its prey. "And that’s when Cynthia came into the picture. My mate." He added, gesturing to Cynthia, who wore a smug smile on her face. My eyes narrowed as fury brewed inside of me. That sly bitch has been part of it all along!"She knew exactly what we needed to do. She came to me with a plan. We’d separate the twins—your precious Dave and Derek—because if we did, their powers would tra
CHASEWe had been on the run, no thanks to that dickhead, Reese Carter...It had been a while since we separated from Reese and Valeria. The decision to hide, to seek cover, was made out of necessity, not cowardice. Reese’s men had been hunting us relentlessly, prowling like wolves, always just a few steps behind. But I wasn’t a fool.Reese might have had the upper hand now, but I’d spent enough money bribing the right people within his pack.It wasn’t just luck that had kept us ahead—it was information. Spies embedded within Reese’s pack whispered secrets to me, carefully feeding me what I needed to stay ahead. I knew everything: their marriage, his company’s success, their family vacation to that private island in Austria—Macko Island.That information came at a price. A small price compared to what I was planning for them. Valeria, Reese, and their precious kids had no idea what was coming.Fuck it!The irony was thick in the air. They were sipping cocktails and basking in the sun
VALERIA"You're gone, Valeria! Say your last prayers, you good for nothing bitch!" Her high-pitched voice filled with resentment and vile rang in my ears.I barely had a moment to process what was happening before everything erupted into chaos. Chase and Cynthia were closing in on me, their cold eyes brimming with cruelty and sorcery sparking at their fingertips. My heart pounded violently in my chest as I desperately tried to summon my healing powers, but fear gripped me too tightly. I felt helpless, like a bird caught in a storm.Then, she lifted the dagger in her hand and was about to lurch it for my neck when something extraordinary occurred.Dave and Derek magically appeared out of nowhere. One second, they were gone, and the next, they stood between us and the ones who wanted to destroy us. My heart skipped a beat. How? How had they gotten here?They stood there, right in front of us, their tiny forms glowing with a light so pure and so powerful that it nearly brought me to my k
REESEIt happened so fast; one moment she was trying to heal the kids, and the next...The moment Valeria collapsed, I lunged forward, catching her before she hit the ground. Her body, usually so full of energy and determination, now felt fragile and limp in my arms. Panic fluttered in my chest, but I pushed it down. I couldn’t afford to lose control now. Not after everything.I gently lowered her to the ground, cradling her head and brushing away the strands of hair that had fallen across her face."Valeria?" I whispered, desperate and fearful. Why had she fainted so suddenly?I shook her gently, but there was no response. Her breathing was shallow but steady, and I clung to that small reassurance.Behind me, the air was heavy with the lingering tension of the battle, the scent of blood and sweat still sharp. But that was over now, wasn’t it? Chase and Cynthia were finally gone, and with their capture, the threats they posed to my family had been neutralized. For the first time in wh
REESEThe moon goddess had shown mercy—my wife and kids were alive. I'm still breathing, still kicking. I couldn’t express the relief that surged through me. It was as if the weight of the world had finally shifted off my shoulders. For a moment, I feared I’d lose them to the chaos that had unfolded on the battlefield. But here they were, safe. Whole.The kids seemed confused, though, like they couldn’t fully recall what had happened in the last twenty-four hours. I was thankful for that.In fact, it was better if they didn't recall all the horrific things that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. They were kids, after all, and they deserve to live a normal, happy life like other kids, too.Valeria, ever practical, decided we all needed to eat. Our bodies had been pushed to the brink, and the kids had burned through their powers. Their small, fragile frames were desperate for sustenance. Thankfully, the private resort we rented had an endless food supply, which now seemed like
REESEIt was hard to believe how far we had fallen. Chase, the man I once called brother, wasn’t even my blood. And my mother... My mother, who I would have died for, who I loved unconditionally, had betrayed me in ways I still couldn’t fully comprehend. She had wanted me dead. How do you come back from something like that? How do you ever trust again?Valeria shifted beside me, her hand resting on my chest, offering silent comfort. She knew. She had sensed my restlessness.“I’m sorry, Reese. I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice soft in the dim light. “I can’t imagine what it’s like.”I covered her hand with mine, squeezing gently. “It’s not something I ever thought I’d have to imagine.”I let out a shaky breath, my hand brushing through her hair. “My mother was a good woman who cared deeply for all of us. But now... it doesn’t feel like it. She’s different now. I never thought she could betray me like this. And Chase…” My voice faltered. Chase, who I had once thought of as my brot
VALERIA And just like that, everything was beginning to look up for the better. Bree, Chase, and Cynthia were now executed, ushering a phase of new beginnings for the Blue Moon Pack. I couldn't be prouder of my kids for saving us times without numbers! With tears blurring my vision, I looked down on my kids, hugging us tightly, fighting the whirlpool of emotions threatening to spill over. They had saved me and Reese on countless occasions, and now, they had saved their grandfather, the former king, and Alpha of the Prestigious Blue Moon Pack, Marion. I couldn't believe my ears when he narrated that my twins, Dave and Derek, were the ones that appeared to him in a dream, warning him of the impending danger we were in and even guided him back to the pack he had lost track of. These kids were more powerful than I had ever imagined. They alone faced off Chase and Cynthia and even Bree. This was just another solid proof that the Moon goddess was always on our side. It had
MARION The sound of the execution drum echoed in the distance, marking the end of an era. My heart felt heavy as I watched Bree, Cynthia, and Chase being led away to meet their fate. As they were dragged away, the sounds of chains clinking faintly in the distance. They were once part of my life—Bree, the woman I had loved so deeply, and Chase, the boy I believed was my son. But that love was a lie, a festering wound that had rotted from the inside. It was over now, and with their execution, I hoped to close the chapter on that betrayal. How did it come to this?! The weight of it all settled heavily on my chest. I never imagined it would end like this—executions carried out in the name of justice, and yet, there was no joy in my heart, no sense of victory. Only a deep, gnawing ache. I turned to face Reese. My son. My pride. And his children—my grandchildren. I had been apart from them for so long, but now, we were together again. Instead, I sought solace in the eyes o
BREEI never imagined it would come to this. Banishment. Exile from the Blue Moon Pack. Fuck!I paced the cold, dimly lit hall, and I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms until it hurt. But the pain did little to calm the storm inside me. After everything I had worked so hard for, how could this be happening? My life's ambition, my every calculated move to ascend the throne, all of it now lay in ruins. The air around me felt suffocating, and my vision blurred with anger and disbelief. "Why?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "Why was this happening to me?"The answer was simple: they had found out. Reese's food. Damn it! How could I have been so careless? What a fool I’d been to let myself be caught like that. The footage was undeniable, raw, and vivid—it showed exactly how I spiked Reese’s cup of tea. No excuses, no plausible deniability. Just my treachery laid bare for all to see. And Marion. My husband. The man who had once hung on every word I said, whose loyalty I
BREE When power corrupts you, it seeps into every corner of your soul, twisting your thoughts and poisoning your actions. It wasn’t immediate, not at first. In the beginning, it was ambition—an innocent desire to rise above my station. But now, as I stared at the reflection in the polished glass, I barely recognized the woman staring back at me. The effects of the black magic I’d meddled with had crept deep into my veins, making me easily irritable, my moods volatile. I found myself lashing out at the maids, the servants, even little Reese when Marion wasn’t around. Of course, I couldn’t afford to show that side of myself in his presence—not when I hadn’t yet achieved what I set out to do.I couldn’t afford for him to notice my change in behaviour, not when I was so close to everything I’d been working for. But it wasn’t just Marion standing in my way anymore. I had a far greater adversary, one I didn’t fully comprehend until it was too late.Reese. That child. The rumoured vessel
BREE"Ahem!"A deep voice from the shadow almost made me jump.I was so blown away by the view in front of me that I didn't notice the huge king-size bed in the corner and a huge white-beard man clad in a luxurious golden robe seated on the bed, watching me intently.The Alpha! The famous Alpha Marion!!!My eyes widened in admiration and fear. He was... was there even a perfect description for a godlike Alpha wolf seated before me? He was magnificent! I had never had the honor of meeting the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack closely before. This was....surreal!I quickly fell on my knees on impulse and bowed my head, paying my respects.As omegas, we dare not stand on our feet in the presence of the Alpha and even look him in the eyes. That's how we're programmed to act anyway, but the ever-ambitious Bree had always craved more.People laughed, derided me, and called me a fool forever, believing that a beta talkless of alpha would look in my direction. Taking interest? Nah, it's never going
BREEYou know that moment when you start hating your kids? Yep, that was the stage I was at right now.Or perhaps the dark magic was already consuming my heart, as the witch had warned.Maybe hate was a strong word, but I was indifferent, and I spent less time with her family. I was always locked in the hidden chambers, honing my dark magic skills, biding my time until it was ripe.It took me a long time, but I knew that I had to be patient if I wanted to achieve substantive results.It's been weeks since I've paid a visit to the witch, and ever since, I've been honing my skills and trying to follow the instructions she had given meticulously to avoid any complications to the spell. I needed the spell to prepare the portion that would inevitably eliminate my husband for good as the witch had promised.I was counting on her words...I had one goal in mind: to lay claim to the position of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. That's right. I was going to be the first female Alpha of the Blue
BREEThen silence followed in fear that a man who was supposed to be long dead was standing right in front of everyone!The silence that followed his statement felt deafening, almost suffocating. My heart hammered in my chest, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what I was hearing, but it didn’t make sense. How could he be standing here after all these years?I stumbled back a step, the weight of his words pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe. “That’s impossible. I saw it myself. There’s no way you could have survived that.”Marion’s lips curled into a grim smile, his eyes dark with the weight of his truth. “I was kidnapped, Bree. Taken far away, to another pack. One so distant I didn’t even know how to trace my way back.”I blinked, shaking my head as if I could somehow shake away his words. But they clung to me, suffocating me and pulling me down into the abyss of realization.Kidnapped? Dumped in some distant pack? But I had
BREEFor the first time in years, I felt true fear. My entire plan, the careful manipulations, and the decades of secrecy had suddenly crumbled around me in an instant.Marion’s eyes locked on mine, cold and unforgiving. His lips curled into a bitter, twisted smile. “You thought wrong.”His voice reverberated through the hall, deep and gravelly, full of unspoken menace. I felt the room shift, the pack’s attention snapping away from me and toward him. The murmurs grew louder, a wave of uncertainty sweeping through the ranks.“Your time is over, Bree,” Marion growled, his eyes never leaving mine. “I never thought you would go this far. But now I see... I see exactly what you’ve become.”I gripped the staff tighter, the familiar surge of power flowing through me, but it did little to quell the panic rising in my chest. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be *alive*.“You don’t understand,” I spat, my voice rising in desperation. “I did this for us—for the pack. You were
BREEToday, victory never tasted so sweet.I beamed at my reflection in the mirror. I was clad in an extravagant, luxurious Victorian ball dress befitting of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. Everything was in order, and the fact that I would soon be crowned the new Alpha sent excited shivers down my spine.The day is finally here, and all my plans have been running smoothly till the very end.Oh Marion, if only you were still alive to witness my ascend to the throne... but that would have been a bumper to my plans now, wouldn't it?It was better I got rid of you to fulfill it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here today.By now, Valeria and Reese, alongside their good-for-nothing twins, would have been eliminated by Chase and Cynthia as planned.A devilish grin curled up at the corner of my lips in jubilation.This was just the beginning of the new chapter that I had always wanted!How satisfying!!!A light tap on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.I adjusted my dress, smoothing it ca
