"Trust the magic of new beginnings"
~Janet Gwen
Third person POV:
Somewhere in North America:
Alpha Silas finally decided to take a break after spending his afternoon buried in paper work, he leaned back against his comfortable office chair.
The satisfying crack from his back reminded him of how long he had been leaning forward into an uncomfortable position.
He massaged his temples with his pointer finger and thumb to relax his throbbing head.
He knew his rough fingers were not doing the proper job, his mind drifted to a certain pair of delicate hands that had the magic to take away all his problems, the thought alone was enough for his headache to disappear.
His lips stretched into a lazy smile as the images of his beautiful mate flashed in his mind, his wife, his Luna, his Iris.
He glanced at the grandfather clock on the right side wall, it was time for supper. She would most definitely be in the kitchen preparing snacks for the kids.
They played all afternoon and then returned back home with their tongues hanging out, ready to scavenge anything in sight. Iris made sure to prepare snacks for them before they reach home.
His thoughts were paused by a knock on the door, Silas was already aware of the person behind the door. He sensed the footsteps long before they even reached the corridor of his office.
He was an Alpha, even if he tried, he could never control his heightened senses or let his guard down, it was a natural instinct for him.
"Come in" his deep voice commanded, he did not bother to correct his posture, after all the person behind the door was his best friend and beta Kyle.
The door knob was twisted and with a light push Kyle entered the Alpha's office. "Alpha" he nodded in respect, best friends or not, Kyle made sure to always respect Silas when they were working, but after the work hours Kyle was a whole different person with his best friend.
Kyle was a handsome man, with his 6'3 height, god gifted physique, jet black hair and striking grey eyes. He had a long silver scar on the right side of his face, starting from the end of his right eye dragging all the way down to the corner of his lip.
But the scar made him look all the more dangerously handsome, the silver line and grey eyes left many young female wolves panting for his attention. He wore his scar with pride and the pack never judged him for a simple line.
The scar was a living proof of his loyalty to his Alpha, it was a fascination for little kids as they were told stories about it from their parents, about how the brave Beta saved the Alpha, by coming in between the enemies silver blade and the Alpha.
How he took the excruciating pain of silver without batting an eye. Indeed Kyle was a hero among his people.
"Beta" Silas acknowledged his greeting, no matter how many times he has told his best friend to not call him by his title it was of no use. Silas had given up trying until he figured out he could do the same to his friend.
So he started calling his friend 'beta' which he highly disliked but who cared, definitely not Silas.
Kyle furrowed his brows in irritation but quickly masked it, "Luna Iris has been asking for you. She's afraid your back would bent permanently if you spend one more second doing paperwork." Kyle tried his best to hide the humour but his eyes betrayed him.
Silas chuckled hearing his wife's concerns, she knew him so well "I was about to leave actually" he said pushing back the chair and standing up to his full height of 6'4.
Silas was a strong man, with his amazing height and muscled physique he commanded dominance, he was born to be an Alpha. His brown hairs were in a tangled mess with some stubborn strands falling on his forehead.
His green eyes scanned his office table to check for any pending work until he was satisfied when he found nothing of interest.
His muscles protested but Silas ignored them, stretching his body to it's limit. Kyle watched his best friend in amusement, he couldn't help but smirk at the sound of cracks his body made "looks like you're getting old Alpha" he commented eyeing him.
Silas threw an irritated look at him while stretching his arms. Sudden giggling sounds caught their attention. It was a mischievous giggle which they had heard millions of times before.
Kyle's face broke into a huge grin making his scar wrinkle up a bit, he marched towards the large window that gave view of the vast land occupied by the "Red Moon Pack".
His eyes searched for a certain blonde haired girl whom he knew the soft giggles belonged to, "no! Please no" he heard a desperate cry of help from a young boy, the voice familiar to him as well.
"I'm going to tell dad, I promise! No!" The boy cried again and finally Kyle's eyes found a young boy running madly in circles, in the open ground in front of the pack house.
But what made it all too amusing was a small girl barely reaching the boys shoulder, chasing him around like a headless chicken, her hands were filled with mud and anyone could tell what her intentions were, definitely not good.
To anyone at first glance she would seem like a innocent harmless little pup, but the one's who knew her were aware of how gravely wrong that was. That little girl was a she-devil, but a cuter one which worked greatly in her favour, no one ever had the heart to scold her or stop her for her antics.
"Come here Theodore!" Her little voice squeeked following by another giggle. "Help! Somebody help me!" Theodore the poor boy cried for help as he ran behind a tree to save himself.
A hearty chuckle diverted Kyle's attention from the entertaining scenerio, he looked at his right to find his Alpha laughing at the little troublemakers.
Kyle followed with a soft laugh while shaking his head, "I will talk to her" he said reverting his gaze towards the window only to find the boy's face now covered in mud, and the little girl looking pleased with her artwork.
Kyle was about to call her out when Silas stopped him, "let them be" he said waving his hand with adoration in his eyes. "But Alpha, Theodore is the future Alpha of our pack. We can't let him be bullied like this" Kyle said with a lopsided grin.
"They are playing Kyle, you and I both know that Theo knows how to defend himself. He just let's her do whatever she wants with him" Silas said with a laugh.
"Don't you dare say anything to her, let her be. It's good to know that their is someone, who can keep the future Alpha in check." He said with his eyes still fixated on the kids.
What he did not notice was the suddenly tensed beta beside him, Kyle looked at his daughter with concern. Since the day she was born, Theodore has stayed by her side.
It was an instant connection between the two, Theodore was only 2 at the time of her birth, yet the future Alpha was adamant on not leaving the hospital when he visited with his parents to meet the beta's new baby girl for the first time.
It's been 7 years now, and as the days pass by it's getting harder and harder to separate these two, everyone in the pack knows that the future Alpha has found his Luna, even Alpha Silas has the same belief.
But Kyle being a reasonable man and a concerned father has his doubts, for his daughter's sake he wishes that what everyone says would be the truth.
He would not be able to bear to see his daughter in any pain, and he wasn't also ready to see the future Alpha's anger if his daughter was not to be destined as his mate.
Theo was 9 at the moment but everyone knew how possessive he was of the little girl. He would not take any bad news lightly, that Kyle knew with certainity.
Only time would tell when Theo reaches the age of 18 that what lies ahead for these two.
He just hoped the future had no pain, only happiness...
Kyle would have traded anything with the moon goddess at this very moment to change the future if he knew how wrong he was.
He gazed upon his daughter with a new reformed hope. Hope for these two kids.
Hope for Theodore and.... Celeste.

And I'm back!!!
My short vacation from writing is over now and I'm here to serve another one of my silly imaginations. 😂
I read all the comments daily that I get for my book 'The Agreement', I'm so overwhelmed by the love and support I have received in such a short amount of time.
I was actually scared to write again as many of you said that they wanted to read more of my work, and I'll be honest here, I don't know if my other books will be upto your expectations but I'll try my best.
As many of you also know my first language isn't English so please be kind about the mistakes, I'll edit them.
The updates will be every 'Sunday' because I have started my University.
This is a werewolf romance story, a totally different genre compared to my previous work.
I hope Theodore and Celeste will receive the same amount of love that Alessandro and Valentina were lucky enough to get.
Please do comment my loves as it keeps me motivated.. ♥️
"We crave a soul stirring love and we chase that soul stirring life"~Butterflies Rising6 years later..Celeste's POV:"Celeste!" I groan as I sense his approaching footsteps.Who even let him in?'You know the answer to that.' My wolf Tonia replies.Mom! We both say simultaneously in an accusing tone in our subconscious mind.It's been a year since I started communicating with her, every werewolf gets in contact with their wolf at the age of 12 and we find our mates on the night of our 18th birthday.It's nice to have someone to share your thoughts and feelings with without getting judged, and Tonia gives great advices too."CELESTE!" He was now just outside my door, the desperation and building irritation in his voice was detectable.Me being me chose to ignore him and concentrate on my painting.My brows furrowed as I drew the delicate rays of the rising sun, almost don
"A loving heart is the truest wisdom"~Charles Dickens3 years later..I giggle and try to push away Theo in a futile attempt to get away from him, he growls lowly in warning and pushes me further in the field of flowers whilst attacking my neck with kisses."Stop!" I chuckle as the hairs of his light beard graze my cheeks, Theo is quick to find my sensitive spot and wastes no time in attacking it.My protests soon turn into moans, my hands that were pushing him away were now tangled in his hairs pulling him in for more.His strong hands roam around the length of my body, grazing the newly formed curves. His hand stops at the hem of my sundress.My breathe hitches knowing very well what his intentions were "Theo stop" I mumble softly while giving his chest a slight push. Thankfully he stops and pulls away lying beside me.Just as I was about to take in a breathe of relief, he pulls me above him. Laying
"I'm in love with a moment we've never had"~ Unknown"You look absolutely breathtaking" Carina, my best friend gushes at me. I blush at her words."I bet Theo won't be able to keep his eyes off of you, oh! and his hands too." She wiggles her brows weirdly with a stupid lop sided smirk.I give her a stern look in response, shaking my head. "What? I'm not lying. You better have shaved everything, because you and I both know there's no stopping the beast tonight" she grins widely, clapping her hands like a little girl."Carina!" I gasp in horror, "you better give all the details tomorrow or.." "shut up!" I shout, shutting my eyes, my face heats up till the tips of my ears."My virgin baby" she mumbles followed by her giggles, "I'm heading out, I need to get ready myself. You, ma'am are going to run off with that hunk of yours, leaving me behind with nothing to do, I must also find someone to keep me entertained all night" she pouts while
"Too many thoughts and too little time, we're doomed from the start"~ D.J."Why goddess!!?? Why!!!!" I wail loudly, my head raised above, staring at the moon."You knew it! You knew everything!" I scream pointing at the moon, "we are your children right! Then how could you cause us so much pain!" I push my knees further in my chest, my fingers squeeze my knees brutally.I was transferring the pain outside, the pain that was brewing inside me making it hard for me to breathe. I needed something, someone to hold on to.But I couldn't return back, the humiliation, the heart break, the reality of Theo not being mine. I can't face it.I bury my face in my knees, some time later, my wails die down to silent shuddering sobs that shake my whole body. My head was throbbing, I couldn't open my eyes because of all the tears that I have shed, I was lost in my heartbreak when suddenly I sensed something.My ears perk up as I hear a crunching
"I think my soul is in love with yours"~FarawayTheo's P.O.VI couldn't hold it anymore, I have been trying so hard but it has finally slipped from my grasp. My anger has finally emerged out, breaking all the barriers. My beast has decided to take control.Infront of me stood my beautiful Celeste, fear evident in her eyes, even I was scared of myself. I had no idea what I was about to do.This she wolf is my everything, has always been and will be. This relationship between us was not created because of the persuasion of our families, our love did not bloom because the pack members said so.Her and I were meant to be long before anyone knew, she doesn't know that herself. The moment I was introduced to her in the hospital, I had acknowledged deep inside me that she was mine.My 2 year old mind didn't completely comprehend the situation, the only thing I understood was that being near her kept me happy and parting from her caused
"Two souls don't find each other by simple accident" ~Unknown Celeste's P.O.V "Are you stupid!" A loud growl from somewhere stirs me awake from my slumber. "Quite down! She's resting" a hush is followed which I instantly recognize as Theo's. "Can you believe it? He's telling me to shut up!" The previous frustrated voice which I now recognise as Uncle Roberto's or known as our Alpha speaks in anger. "That's not what I said Dad" Theo's voice sounds drained. I quickly sit up on the bed, I don't have time to ponder over the previous night, I pick up my discarded dress and wear it. I finger comb my hairs while dashing towards the stairs that lead downstairs. I wipe my palms over my face to get rid of the sleep and drool. As soon as I land my foot at the last step I sense numerous eyes turn towards my direction. I scan around me, Theo was standing by the kitchen, a glass of water in his hand which was half fill
"If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down"~UnknownCeleste's POV"Go freshen up, I'll prepare something for you to eat" mom mumbles while removing her shoes at the door entrance.Dad quietly walks past me towards his room. I stare at his retreating back before silently nodding my head to mom.Mom and dad had brought me back with them much to Theo's dismay, it was actually uncle Roberto's decision, he said we can live together once we manage to get the blessings of the elders.If the elders agree then no one the pack would dare say anything about our relationship.But this is what is our biggest challenge, I know for a fact that the elders will never agree.I make my way towards my room distracted by my thoughts. I enter my room and find it in the same state I had left it in last night.I sigh tiredly, I feel disconnected to everything all of a sudden. I have always led a peaceful l
"Why else are we here if not to live with unreasonable passion for things"~Butterflies risingThe air was silent apart from the sound of our footsteps, it was past midnight so everyone in the pack had dozed off by now, getting some rest to continue their lives next morning.Dad was a few steps ahead of us, he hasn't spoken to me since we returned from the cabin. I study his tensed shoulders indicating he was lost in his thoughts.Mom was walking beside me, her eyes were focused on her mate. I'm sure she could sense his worry through their bond.Maybe even read his thoughts?Mom fastens her steps to reach dad leaving me behind observing them. She silently falls in step with him, dad gives her a quick glance then reverts his eyes back to the path.Mom glides her right arm around dad's back and rest her palm on his stomach pulling him closer to her, almost instantly dad also wraps his left arm around her frame and they bot
"Take the risk or loose the chance"~ Unknown "You rejected your true mate and didn't even tell us about it?" Mom asks in a baffled tone just as we enter inside the house."Mom!" I say tiredly, rubbing my temples, "what mom! Answer me" she marches and stands infront of me, stopping my escape."Kyle! We don't know anything about what is going in our daughters life! What kind of parents are we?" She wails looking around.Dad is quick to be at her side, he gives her a hug, not able to see his mate in pain."Mom, please relax yourself" tears well up my eyes as I try to console my mother who is crying uncontrollably."I should've had stopped these two at the ceremony day, our daughter would have been saved from so much pain" mom cries, her legs weaken and she slips into dad's embrace."Love!" Dad screams in panic "mom!" I too get worried "dad, lay her on the sofa" I run towards the sofa and move away the cushions.Dad quickly carries mom in his hold, she buries her face in his chest.He l
"Turns out it was mostly a lie. But, at least for a short while, it was a beautiful one.~ Unknown "Baby you need something?" Mom asks peeking inside my room, I weakly shake my head. I hear her sigh followed by her steps nearing me.I feel the bedside dip, her warm hand caresses my head, her touch is enough for the waterworks to resume again.I sob burying my face into the pillow, she gently tries to soothe me until I calm down."You need to get out of this room, let your wolf be free and feel the nature around you. It will make you feel better my child" she says lovingly.I move around until my head ia resting on her lap.I don't want to go out. I don't want to go anywhere.It's been 3 nights since I witnessed that gut wrenching scene, I did wait for any explanation and directly ran to my parents house, since than I have confined myself into my old bedroom.Mom and Dad were very hurt about the whole situation but they were kind enough to give me space, they also made sure to keeo ev
"You stay quiet, while a war happens within you"~UnknownCarina's POV:6 years ago.... (Alpha Theodore's 18th birthday ceremony) :I'm so happy! Finally, Celeste and Theodore will be destined as true mates today. Well, their relationship is not anything less than of true mates but to have it confirmed by the moon goddess herself is another thing.I just visited Celeste and my girl looked so happy and pretty. Celeste and I share such a deep bond that I can practically sense all of her feelings within me, whether it being happiness, anger or sadness. We've been friends from the beginning of our lives and I am sure we'll remain such till our last breaths.Today, I feel like I'm the one who is going to get their mate instead of Celeste, that's the depth of our connection. Since we've been pups I have seen the love they both share for each other. Every pack member truly wants them both to be true mates, they are just so perfect, perfectly made for each other by the goddess.I don't kno
"Unfortunately you won't know that some people are poisonous until they bite you"~ CJ"Luna!" I hear a panicked voice beside me."Quick Stephen, get the Alpha" the voice I assume of one of the guards orders the other.The guard doesn't touch me in respect, he tries calling me but I couldn't respond as I felt if all my energy is drained.Within minutes someone picks me up, it's Theo, I sigh relieved "Celeste! Who did this!?" He holds my cheeks and tries to shake me awake."WHO DID THIS TO MY MATE!?? WERE YOU ALL DEAD!" Theo booms, I can sense other guards joining him.Fear and nervousness is thick in the air, "Where the hell were you JAVIAR!?" Theo questions his beta."Alpha I was patrolling near by, I did not sense anything out of the ordinary, I don't know how this happened" he seems genuinely worried.During this whole ordeal I had managed to open my eyes, I raise my hand and hold Theo's cheek, his fiery eyes turn to me."Who did this!?" He questions in an angry whisper."Get rid of
"It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it"~Unknown2 days later...It's been 2 days since that horrific fire burned down our packs most innocent residents.The fire may have cooled down, the ashes may have been swaped away but the painful burn it has left behind would forever ache in almost every pack members heart forever.The fire took away our kind hearted Mina, the fire took away all those innocent smiles and that fire took away our son.My heart constricts and tears flow down as I imagine a little baby of not much older than a month being eaten alive by those harsh flames, what pain he must have felt when it touched his skin. Who must have the helpless child called for help? The fire burned down our hopes and dreams, the fire burned down our future.Oh, how I wish I had not returned him back to Mina, how I wish Theo's guards would have reached their sooner and had saved all those innocent lives.I can only wish.I ponder
"Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you"~ C.C.Aurel"What's the matter? you aren't paying any attention to me" Carina complains throwing a straw towards me.I look at her annoyed, we decided on having lunch today, I met her in the local restaurant few minutes ago. I didn't realize when I zoned out."I'm skeptical of that new girl Nova" I voice out my concerns, there was no beating around the bush with Carina, we were always direct with our problems.She stops chewing her food and looks at me "in what sense?" she questions putting down her spoon. "I think she has her eyes on Theo, no! actually I'm sure of it" I nod my head exclaiming loudly.Carina joins her hands together resting her chin over them "you want me to investigate?" she questions with a serious expression."Are you really asking?" I question back quirking up a brow "on it" she says nodding her head.~~~~~~~~~I was now back in the pack house, doing some work when I sense a presence behind me, I look o
"Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance."~Oscar Wilde I tighten my hold on Theo's arm pushing myself closer to his side, I have tears in my eyes as I view the horrible scene infront of us.After Javiar came with the news, Theo and I ran to the forest, a guard guided us the way.Javiar stayed behind in the pack to send everyone back to their homes to safety, he will join us as soon as he makes sure everyone's safe.The guard informed us that he found the message while patrolling the area, he quickly informed Javiar who came running to us with the news.I gasped in horror when my eyes first laid on the gruesome scene.Tears and sadness filled my eyes at the sight of a familiar pack members body dismembered.Kevin, he was a old werewolf, a farmer of our pack. I knew him and his wife personally, he was such a sweetheart.He used to gift us his crops every year as a gratitude to his Alpha and Luna.My heart shattered seeing his headless body hanging upside down from a t
"Trusting you is my decision, proving me right is your choice"~Unknown"If you need anything feel free to ask around, the pack members will be more than happy to help" I say to the group of our new werewolfs.They nod their head in gratitude "you have already done so much for us Luna, we can't ask for more" one woman says respectfully."You are now our family and family takes care of each other" I say with a sweet smile "these are your rooms, get settled in, after the oath taking ceremony you will be shifted to your own homes, tha couples will have separate homes while the remaining 2 ladies will be staying in the pack house until they find their mate" I announce and walk out of the hallway.Their were 2 couples among the group, one shared 2 pups and the other didn't have any yet, they told me that they didn't want their pups to be slaves like them that's why they didn't try for a child but now as they are free they will definitely think about expanding their family.The 2 remaining
"I choose to see the beauty and somehow this connects everything"~Seeker"What you did there was very brave" Carina says feeding me soup.I woke up a few minutes ago, Carina was attending to me, she informed me that the attack was over, Theo and his men fought viciously and sent those beasts away for good.The shewolfs and pups were sent back to their homes, Carina stayed back to look after me, due to my injury I was still in the secret room and not moved out.She said that I was out for 6 hours, but thanks to the medicine our pack doctor Sally injected in me, my wound was healing very fast."It was my duty, any Luna in my place would have defended her people" I shrug sipping another spoon."Any Luna who is respected and honored by her people Celeste, we all know how the pack members treat you and you still endangered your life without thinking twice" she shakes her head in disapproval."You should had left them to fend for themselves, they were 4 shewolfs, they could have easily man
