~STORM"I'm Storm! What do you want from me, Marcus?" I questioned him and he smirked. "I like you!" He said straightforwardly. I froze. "You said you..." "And I can protect you too. All you have got to do is give me a chance." He said to me, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I got up and in that instant, I made my way back to the room. Placing my head on the bed, I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I realized I had nothing much to do that day. I had the urge to go back home but to whom? "Girl, how about we just do something fun? I feel bored?" Bella said to me and I laughed. "Something like what?" I asked her, and she got into my thoughts. "I have no idea but there is a party tonight. Would you like to attend it?" She asked me and I thought about it for a while. "Don't you think it's a bad idea though? We have an exam tomorrow." I told her and she shrugged. "We have an exam by noon. Not really in the morning. We can return earlier since it will be happeni
~STORM"Bella, we need to get back to our hostel room first, okay," I said to her, and together, with our heads lowered to the floor, we ran into the midst of the crowds and into the hostel. It took us minutes and when we were finally able to get in, I couldn't thank the moon goddess enough. "I think something is not right with the environment," I said to her and she nodded her head while trying to catch her breath. "Has something like this happened before?" "I think it's the werewolf hunters and some of their targets. These folks are causing drama around the school environment." She explained to me and I froze. Werewolf hunters again? If so then I was at risk minutes ago. This got me really scared for a moment but I tried to look calm so Bella wouldn't notice a thing. I wasn't being judgemental towards the hunters anymore though. I had seen what a werewolf could do to a complete human who probably never deserved that. Even back in the packs, some rogues just wanted every sligh
~STORMIt's been three weeks since the exam, and in three days, Bella and I will be having our final exam. I stood at the door of my hostel wondering what to do with my life as I was so bored. Bella had gone on some dare just to feel good. I got tired and walked inside the room, picked up a good book, and looked through it. Exams had been fine, so we'll even though the days were never as cool as they should be. I looked through several pages and suddenly heard a knock on my door. I got up and quickly went to open it. On seeing who was there, I was surprised. "Wow Cass!" I exclaimed and quickly hugged him tightly. "How are you, dear Storm? Is Bella home?" He asked me. I froze for a second wondering what to tell him. "Yes, she is around, but just inside at the moment. Come in please." I said leaving the way for him to pass through. He walked inside the house and sat on the couch close to Bella's bed while I sat on my bed. "How have exams been?" He asked looking at me. "It's been gre
~STORMI looked up and was stunned to see how he was grabbed. My brows furrowed. I had no idea how we were able to get into our room, but by the time I was in, tears already filled my eyes. What if it was me in that position? I felt crazy in that instant. I had no idea that people could get tracked like that. I then went on social media and looked through the school's news forum and what I saw got me crying already. "What's wrong honey?" Bella asked me and I showed her my phone. Apparently, the reason Marcus got tracked was because he was responsible for feeding on innocent humans who were also students of the school. "Holy shit! Does it mean he was going to kill us, too, if we had given him our body?" "I guess that was his plan. But it's quite hard to get these werewolves. He must have gotten spied on and exposed to the hunters." She said and that struck at my heart. I took a deep breath, hoping that what I was thinking was nowhere near the truth and that Marcus had actually gott
~STORM I stood frozen, my heart shattering into a million pieces as I watched Alpha Richard kiss Danielle. My wolf howled in anguish, a primal sound echoing in my mind. Richard had been my mate, the only person I had ever allowed to touch me, and now he was betraying me in the most public way possible. He was not just my mate; he was my husband, my life. “I told you he had eyes for Danielle,” Avira whispered beside me, her voice laced with bitterness. “He’s a lying cheat, Luna.” I gripped the railing tightly, trying to steady myself as their kiss deepened, tongues dancing in a way that made my stomach churn. Just hours earlier, we had hosted a soiree to celebrate the alliance between our pack and the Blood Moon pack. Richard had insisted it was necessary, especially with so many members struggling. I had believed him, trusting his persuasive nature. I had taken care of everything—the invitations, the decorations, the food. Avira and I had worked tirelessly to make the event a s
~STORM Was there a word that could truly capture the heart-wrenching ache I felt? I was drowning in a sea of depression, disappointment, and betrayal. I felt utterly useless. The only thing keeping me tethered to reality was the pack’s business and politics. For the past three months, we had been building extra walls and mansions on the estate to accommodate Danielle and her pack. Danielle was my husband Richard’s new mate, and every night, I had to endure the sight of him calling her to his room. He mated with her, leaving me behind as if I didn’t exist. It was as if he had forgotten he even had a wife. Somehow, he had convinced me that I should remain his Luna while he took Danielle as his mate, all in the name of strengthening our alliance since she was the sister of the Blood Moon’s Alpha. He had given me a thousand reasons to accept this arrangement, and before I knew it, a tiny “yes” had slipped from my lips. Now, I regretted every single decision I had made. I had visit
~STORM The pack was alive with the sounds of snarling and growling as we prepared to face the rival pack. They had some nerve to challenge us on our own territory. I led our pack forward, Richard at my side, as Navarre’s pack members stood defiantly, snarling and howling in response. “Go back and leave us alone!” Richard snarled, his voice low and threatening. But the leader of Navarre’s pack merely returned the challenge, his voice dripping with aggression. “We’re not going anywhere.” Tension hung thick in the air, and with another aggressive snarl, the fight erupted. I targeted the Delta, delivering powerful blows that echoed through the chaos. Avira took on the female beta, while I focused on the lower-ranking males, knowing there was no female Luna to handle them. Richard engaged Navarre’s Alpha, their teeth clashing in a fierce display of dominance. The betas fought fiercely against each other, and I moved to assist when I heard Danielle howl in anguish. I wanted to respon
~STORM Kieran stared at me with an intensity that made my heart race. His striking green eyes were unmistakable, and my breath caught in my throat. “Kieran?” I managed to ask. He tilted his head, taking in the sight of me with a curious gaze. The way his eyes roamed over my body made me shrink inwardly. I regretted the way Richard had twisted my mind and battered my confidence. “What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly. His lips curved into a smirk, a wicked glint in his eye. “Won't you say a little hello to your new Alpha?” The shock of his words hit me like a punch to the gut. I gripped the object behind me to steady myself, fighting the dizzying sensation that threatened to overwhelm me. His smirk widened as he noticed my instability. Kieran was a ghost from my past, one I never expected to see again. Deep down, I sensed that his arrival had something to do with the fight that had just taken place, something to do with me. His gaze drifted to the d

~STORM"That's a good idea!" I responded and got up. After putting on something really nice that evening, we made our way out of the hostel and headed out of the gate. The moon was stepping out already but still dull at the moment and though I felt the pull, I didn't let it overshadow me at that moment. I stayed strong till we got out of the school gate. "Girl, can you see that?" Bella suddenly pulled me and I stopped to look. "Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed and when my eyes caught what she was seeing, I froze in shock. Close to the school gate was the body of a young boy on the floor. "Is he dead?" I asked and ran to go see. Bella ran to see with me and when we checked him out without touching him, we kinda agreed that he was dead. "He must be a student of the school. But who would do this?" Bella cried and brought out her phone to call the police. I looked through his body, and suddenly, my eyes caught a bite mark on his neck. I held my chest in fright. Shit! A werewolf has bitten h
~STORMGosh! How the hell am I here? I thought and quickly left the room to mine. I couldn't sleep anymore and just kept rolling all over my bed space till it was morning. I rushed into the bathroom to have a warm bath, and when I returned to my room, Kieran was seated on my bed in my room. I flinched on seeing him. "What the actual fuck are you doing in here?" I asked him and he smirked. "You were in my room yesterday. I didn't ask that." He said to me and I couldn't help but roll my head. "I never asked to be in there. You took me there anyways." I told him, and he laughed and got up, coming closer to me while I moved backward. "It's not like you never liked being there. I hate it when you try to act like you aren't." He said to me and started looking deeply at me. I felt very uncomfortable and tried to cover myself up better, but he wouldn't let me ask. Each time I raised the towel, he would try to put it down. "This is improper." "Touching my wife is improper? What kind of a
~STORM"You wanna succeed in it? I thought you didn't care." He said to me and I rolled my eyes. "Of course, I had always cared about this. What are you even talking about?" I asked him and watched as he got up after eating and left. I sat there feeling very frustrated and decided to just be my best self this period. Life was kinda back to normal, and to be honest, I was just doing everything to stay low-key. I walked into the classroom with Bella and saw that she seemed to be looking better. "What's up?" I asked in her ears and she grinned. "I feel better." She replied and held my hand. After lectures, I decided to go spend some time with her in her hostel, and when I sat on the bed, I watched her walk to her table and touch the whole place, including her mirror. "I miss a lot! But I'm glad I'm where I am right now. I love it here." She muttered. I looked up wondering what she meant by that. "You are being a little bit dramatic here. Tell me what I don't know." "Right! I have h
~STORMThere was no doubt that I was really surprised to see Bella. I got out of the chair in my room and made my way to her. "I missed you like crazy," I said hugging her really tight. "Hmmm, that's a really nice thing to say to me anyway." She replied and kissed me on the cheek. "How is your grandma?" I asked her and she smiled. "I will make time to come see her soon. Maybe after our examination." I said to her and quickly walked to the table in my room and started closing every book that I was looking at minutes ago. "That's just alright honey. I heard the exam will get started in a week. She hasn't even prepared right for it. I fear that we may fail." She said to me and it was then it dawned on me. "I don't know what to do right now, but I can think," I muttered, thinking. "How about you come to be with me until the exam is over?" She asked me, and after thinking about that for minutes, I thought it made sense. But on the other hand, if Kieran was going to give me the chanc
~BELLAMy grandma is going to get hurt? My heart was starting to break. "Don't bother so much about it so we don't end up having another life at stake. There is a 90 percent of her serving and being better but you have got to be bringing her here every week for checkup." He suggested when he saw my mood change, and I looked up with hope in my eyes. "Thank you, doctor! I think I can accept that. I will bring her here every weekend." I said to him and felt Storm's hand around my shoulder. "And before I forget, the other man and last who got brought in alongside your grandma and friend lost their lives. I think the police are on that, so I'm okay." The doctor said to us and to be honest, my emotions went bland. After we left the office, we spent time at the hospital and when it was due, we left the hospital. The whole mansion was quiet. Storm had just left with Cass and Kieran, and I was alone with my grandma, my world quiet. I didn't know if I should call this peace but everything
