I take in a shaky breath. My eyes sweeping across the room to find all these females drowning in agony and suffering one that shall take years to heal and until it shall become a fading memory. The torture they must go through. I sob louder. What can I do? How can I help my females?
Clamping my mouth shut holding my palm over it I stumble and fall to the ground, their pain too much for me to handle.
"Why? Why our males? They were all good, smart and possessed beautiful souls. It could have been other wolves but why ours?" A female screams her tone high pitched whilst she shrieks her distress. The others moan unable to control the throbbing ache of their cores.
"What do you want? What do you wish for?" I ask tears leaking from my eyes down my flesh. My voice a mere whisper against the l

The day he left, the sky had opened her soul and wept. The rain pounded the earth whilst the cold eerie fog loomed over the pack, a bad sign it showed us. It came as a big surprise for a storm brew in mid-summer and that itself brought fear into our hearts.The main gate that looked too big for me once upon a time, seemed small only allowing out those going for war the others disallowed to leave and forced to stay in. I did not sleep the previous night staring at the moon with a gut-wrenching fear that crept up my spine. It sank its fangs into my flesh digging deep spreading its venom that flooded me from within.The night was quiet yet if one listened closely they could hear the mourning of females who were preparing to throw the wolves they held close to their hearts directly into the pit of death. It was that feeling of uncertainty t
"Will you be doing this merely out of duty? Are you doing this as a Luna of this pack or a mate?" Her questions catch me off guard whilst my eyes widen. Digging my nails into the material of my shirt I keep my eyes away from her searching ones."Must I answer that?" I ask my voice softening almost questioning. Questioning that surges within myself.I am met by her silence. I know she wishes nothing but happiness for me and I know her question was not for the future of this pack but mine. "I shall call Alpha Cronus." She says not wanting to indulge further knowing I do not wish for it.She is quick to call him fetching her phone from her jeans pocket. I wonder if Cronus knows about this war that was quick to come to our pack. She hands me the phone that I take swiftly holding it over my
"I understand." She says her voice booming and strong yet I see the fight in her eyes. She is unsure of my decision, now it is her turn to hold the immense fear I held.I throw a pile of my unwashed clothes into her hands which she catches with ease. "If my male cries for me, wear these clothes and hold him. These clothes still hold my scent and shall calm him." My commanding voice manifests into a whisper as I near him to place a soft kiss on his cheek. He flinches but continues to sleep. "I shall bring your father back home."Tightening the knot of the shawl at the back of my neck grabbing the bag holding it over my shoulder I give Elriam a curt nod of farewell. The fact that my house was not close to the pack lands came to my advantage and I am able to slip out with no wolf's interference.
The male walks forth and bows deeply to me. "This wolf shall take you. If I see you still present here tomorrow morning I shall seek retribution for breaking my deal the hard way. Do you understand me, Lumina?" Cronus asks whilst his witching green eyes glare at me."Yes, I understand. Thank you, Cronus. I mean it." I whisper and with one final glance at him, I follow the warrior who leads me another way far from pack lands to a more hidden private area.The warrior possesses an axe in his hands that he uses to strike down thickly grown plants that block our way. He makes the path easier and on the way, he ties pieces of white string around the branches as a sign to find the way back. I wonder how Cronus and his warriors found Deimos. What kind of techniques did they use for it is difficult to find them merely with scents as it is a den
With slow steps, I dive into the space he made for me. Bending down my spine curving, I place the drenched cloth on his wound wiping gently cleaning his cuts. Our faces are close to each other for his hot breath kisses my cheek."I want to kiss you." He whispers into the shell of my ear blowing gently that sends shivers down my body and I gasp yet I do not move away from him continuing with the cleaning. "No, I said that wrong. Ineedto kiss you." He utters shifting closer to me his lips almost touching my flesh."You cannot, Deimos." I reply. He does not know what he is doing or saying, he is under the spell of the drug. He will not remember any of this tomorrow."Why? Because you hate me now?" He questions opening his legs wider for me giving me more space. A spac
Eyes flutter open to the sudden coldness that consumes my body, limbs that were tired and worn out after the long journey now has gained back their strength after a good rest. Swallowing to soothe my thirsty dry throat a low moan leaves my lips whilst stretching my extremity.The smell of burnt wood clouds the room under its ashy and stale cloak showing me the fire had died long before. The tent is silent however the chatter of wolves outside along with their loud and brutal grunts of training peeks in.My heart picks up the pace when understanding of the current situation slowly begins to slither its way into my mind, I had slept here. Next to Deimos. Last night's heated events take their turn to come into light whilst my finger touches my lower lip. The presence of his lips upon mine battles with every other thought and emotion that w
I should push him away, he is not under the influence of any drugs. I should walk away from this. Why is he being so free with me now? Where is the barrier that I had put between us for him to not cross? How is he so- my eyes widen as understanding sparks to light.Eyes snap to him swiftly with questioning. "You remember?" I ask whilst I seek for his truth."Remember what?""Last night." I say breathlessly heart thundering within waiting patiently for his answer."You mean like how your cheeks flushed and your body heated up when I held you beneath me or how you whimpered and whined whilst I took your lips with no mercy. If this is what you have asked of me, then yes. Yes, I remember." He speaks with no shyness striking me directly. H
When we sneaked into our pack with Elriam's help I was held captive by her embrace as she told of me how worried she was for me and how Kal had dealt well with my disappearance. My male was truly strong he brought me pride.The pack did not question much of my whereabouts holding their respect to my title and private choices and Ragon was there to help water down the fire of questioning and curiosity with his talks of Deimos and the war diverting the topic swiftly.Deimos had arrived with his warriors a week later bruised but not scarred. He had fought well as he promised me. We all had waited at the gates for them, my heart rejoiced and skipped beats when he stepped onto our lands whilst his scent lulled me closer to his flesh. Kal had awoken briskly whilst he dangled his limbs shrieking demanding his greeting from his father.
It was not an effortless decision for it would come with a price. And that price delayed my path of action. I knew the pack would go against me and I knew I would have to execute numerous of my warriors and that fact chained me once more.It felt as though I was spitting on father's grave, I was destroying everything he trained me growing up. I wondered if he saw me as shameful, I wondered if he deemed me as his male no more for if he were alive my father would have reprimanded my choices.That permanent state of hell I was in, that confusion I abhorred it. I was stuck I could not move, annihilating your wolves as an Alpha meant the moon would sentence me for it, she would have to take something from me and I sweated it would be Lumina or Kal.But observing my female living in discomfort each day because of my discretions, I could not follow it anymore. I could not withstand it so I stood on that stage and I declared the end of the tradition hoping it would pave
Whilst the females moved an unconscious Lumina to the other room, Elriam was generous to place the pup in my trembling awaiting hands. It was a male, yet there was no happiness from my side mere neutralness for I had lost someone dear to me. It was a day of birth and death, birth of my male the death of me.The reason I had feared to love her had come to stand haughtily in my reality, Lumina wanted to leave me. She spewed heartless words to my face of how I disgusted her, of how she rebuked our bond that we were no more as one.She said she could live without me with such ease as I tensed my jaw and took her strikes for I earned it. I deserved each blow of her whip as it peeled the skin off my bones.Then she changed. She became a female I could not recognize, our relationship had blazed to ashes there was nothing left between us. She left a trail behind with torn pieces of herself that I often secretly bent to pick up and lay in my treasure box.
But that was no choice to me, it seemed as though I was once more standing on that bridge. Life or death. I wanted to choose death, I would have rather fallen than betray either of them.The tradition of the chosen did not seem to hinder me even after I met Lumina for I had thought I would never fall in love with her. Yet I did I was in love with her unconditionally, she stood first in line among my every other duty. She was my priority in many ways.How could I touch another female other than Lumina? The image of it had me gag as it left a foul taste on my tongue. I was not that kind of a male, I promised to be loyal to her until the moon called for me.I was lost for I did not know much of the laws of the tradition so I requested Ragon to aid me to attain loopholes or ways I can tiptoe around it without harming any wolf. It was a tradition that had run smoothly in our pack for generations with no Alpha ever going against it and I did not want to be th
I could not think, I could not feel. A sudden sense of coldness lured me into its cave. I knew if I stayed I would hurt her with the vengeance of my words so I chose to abandon her in that aloof house until the turmoil of my heart and mind rested.Yet when I had returned I was greeted with something I did not wait for, she leapt into my arms caressing flesh pecking me all over my face showing her profound affection for me as she begged for me to forgive her. And I could not fight her, how could I have when she glanced at me that way?So I asked her to do something for me that I found arduous to do. To bare her soul to me and she had accepted with no reluctance. She taught me that I must soar above my walls and unveil myself to her eyes as well and I guaranteed her that I would with time.After a while, Lumina got sick fatally sick and I fretted the pill had done something to her. I often conversed with Giovanni's healer every night after I put my female to sleep
The goddess took her time with me as she kept me caged up for a while and on her chosen day she surprisingly tossed me back to my physical being as though she found no use to bother with me anymore.I do not remember distinctly the events that unfolded after I had awoken, it was all a haze of sounds, scents and movements. But what I do recall was the way the eyes of my female lightened as she examined me. She looked as though I had breathed life back into her and I was perplexed. I was the one who had been in a coma yet why did my moon blessed resemble a corpse as well?Was she not eating, was she not sleeping? Judgment took its time to settle within me. Lumina was not living, she was merely existing and that too not for her sake but mine hoping that I would wake up and embrace her one day. With everything Ragon had revealed to me of her lifeless days, my heart burned with tribulation.My fault, I was once more to blame for giving her that experience. Testifying
She wanted to hasten everything and we stood on thin ice once more, snapping our teeth at each other with a wave of outrage. She was always expecting me to understand her but she never once returned that from her side. What about what I wanted? I was not ready to be a father for I was only learning how to be a moral mate to her.But the way she looked at me it was as though it had been what she had yearned for all her life. To have a family of her own, who was I to deny that? Was it not my duty to her, to give her that life?I did not think I would be a good father, I did not want to raise my pup as my father bred me. I was worried I would end being the same as him. I wanted time before I could speak with her on the topic of having pups but she thought I was unconditionally against the idea.It was not true, I too wanted to see my female's belly swollen with my pup snoring within. I too did not have a family growing up and I despairingly needed laughter and joy
I knew the moon would condemn me for the way I treated her gift. I did not know whom to blame, Lumina or myself? Did I need to be more patient with her? Did I need to be more understanding?That day as I showered with a dejected heart, I had given up a little on us. I felt we were lying in a hopeless pit we were both equal predators always at war with the other. I did not consider we could ever be happy with each other and I was prepared to move to the other wing of the castle and isolate myself from Lumina for a while.I thought it would be for the best, I would not be able to hurt her and she would not be able to wound me either. I wanted to end our sprouting relationship for her sake mostly, she would be happier without me. Without the cruelness of our bond, we could have lived in the pack together but we would have not been in a loving relationship.As I departed the bathroom's heat, she sat on that bed whilst she waited patiently for me. I was astounded for
I entered Cronus's lands with a calmness which I owned a lot of yet with her fit of aggression towards me she stripped it all apart, she tested me with every breath she took. Master of control? No, when it came to her I was a master of nothing.Then I assumed her truth, she did not wish to return for she was in love with Cronus. It had to be the only reason, my canines ached to mark her then and there and drag her outside by her neck exhibiting to every wolf she was mine. I wanted to do it the hard away be the pitiless vicious beast I was.Then Lumina wailed and my being shook, her tears I was powerless to behold anymore. I did not wish to hurt her further than I already had. When she stuttered the truth of her feelings to me of how it had always been me and shall remain so forevermore I strived to hide my surging smile. She chose me and that was all that mattered.And for the first time in a very long time, I sincerely apologized and freed my soul a li
The second my lips brushed softly against hers, I knew it. She would be the death of me and what astonished me was I deemed I would willingly die for her if that was what she wanted. She drove me wild and frantic streaming behind her like a panting male in a rut.Yet that very same night as Cronus pressed her against that wall and vocalised of the feelings he possessed for my female the beast in me mounted, he destroyed the barriers and clawed his way up to make his claim and I failed to stop him.I detested the vile sight of Cronu's fingers on her flesh, the closeness of their lips. She was mine and mine alone, every part of her belonged to me. If she had run away from my heat I would have hunted her, arrested her and barred her in my room for weeks fucking her with a savagery until she squealed the truth of whom her male was.But from that event stemmed insecurity, I grew to become anxious that she would leave me. My confidence in myself diminished with each r
