Aurora PoVIt’s funny how life can send you crashing one down to the deepest pit just when one’s soaring high in the clouds a few seconds ago.A few seconds ago, I was absolutely ecstatic. Klaus was Alpha, which made me the Luna. And while Klaus was already performing his Alpha duties, I was keen on starting my Luna duties. The plan was to go round the pack encouraging the pack and trying to get them to look to a better future. But what type of Luna would I be if I abandoned my husband to tend to the pack. So I’d woken up early to prepare Alpha’s favorite meal. I wanted to serve his food on the dining table so he’d come out to eat, but I knew Klaus might stay locked in that study all day without eating.And I decided to take his food to the study. The door was locked but there was a spare key. I expected to find my husband hunched over the table, neck buried in papers and files. But what did I find instead?Klaus was hunched against a girl, and his lips was locked against hers.A pow
Lisa PoVAll I could think about was how right Aurora was.Aurora had always been nice to me. Even more than nice, most times. She played the role of a big-sister and a mother to me on numerous occasion. And all I could ever think to repay her was trying to steal her husband.Even though I didn’t set out to intentionally to cause problems in her marriage, I couldn’t deny that the consequences of my actions would cause just that. So I wasn’t surprised when she pounced on me like an angry feral wolf trying to avenge the death of its mate.I most likely would have done the same too. I was guilty of every allegation she heaved against me, and I calmly allowed her vent her anger on me. For a while I felt like a victim. After all, Klaus had kissed me back, yet, I’m the one taking all the blame. But I knew it was no matter to a hurt wife. And Aurora was definitely hurt.Klaus finally got her off me, and I raced out of the house through the backdoor.“Lisa, wait!” Klaus tried to stop me, but
Klaus PoVI’d never seen Aurora so hurt and angry before. And it broke my heart that I was the cause of it. I never imagined that I could possibly cause Aurora pain. After all, she was the same woman I would happily give my life for. The same woman whom I always placed her happiness above mine.“Please, Aurora,” I tried to calm her down after I’d wrenched Lisa from her arms and she’d turned on me, “please calm down.”“Calm down?” she screeched, “so you can go after her?”“Aurora, please,” I wheezed, “you’re my wife. The woman I love so much. I could never go after another woman. Please, Aurora, you’re carrying our baby. Calm down.”The mention of the baby seemed to do the trick, and Aurora dissolved into tears. It took almost forever with loads of words of assurance of my love to her before she finally sobbing. And when she did, she immediately fell asleep.She’d expended all her energy and fatigue had caught up to her, though I suspected the sleep was induced by emotional stress and
Klaus PoV“What do you think did it?” Babel asked“Or who?” Eda, another member of the patrol guard, chipped in.“Surely a human couldn’t possibly do that,” Babel countered, “only a wolf can.”“But the surface area is not large enough to fit wolf, even a cub,” Eda argued, “a human did this.”“A werewolf in human form would not survive this much carnage,” Babel snorted, “the crash landing was pretty bad.”Babel was right. Lisa shouldn’t haven survived such a fall. Trees were ripped from the ground, and grass was flattened against the ground. It sure was a miracle that she was still alive after all she’d gone through these past couple of months. Her wolf must be one of a kind. Extremely determined to stay alive against all odds.“Alpha,” Babel gently nudged me, “you’ve been silent.”“Is anything wrong, Alpha?” Eda asked.“I’m just worried about what could do this,” I lied, and forced my mind back to the present.I was truly worried. The lying part was what I was worried about. I knew wh
Klaus PoVLike I suspected, I was a prisoner veiled as a guest. Maximo just needs evidence to change my status from guest to prisoner. And it was evident in our running position to Lupo pack.We were all in wolf forms as we ran to Lupo pack. Jack took the lead, I came second, and the guards took the rear. Even if I wanted to escape, it was impossible. I didn’t have time to admire their wolf forms. Rather, I was meditating on my own fate. If Maximo suspects anything, this could very well be the end. I worked on my poker face to keep my face calm and sublime no matter the questions he threw at me. The journey to Lupo pack was short and we morphed back into human form when we crossed the territory.Since the last time I was here, Yellowstone territory had undergone a massive change. The last time I came here, the atmosphere reeked of illegal mining, environmental corruption, pain, suffering, hunger, and death. But now, it was as if the whole place underwent a massive makeover. There we
Lisa PoV“Aurora didn’t say anything?” I asked, shocked by what Klaus just told me.“She might be angry at us, but Aurora wouldn’t do anything to harm us,” Klaus explained with a soft smile, “she knows something terrible will befall the pack if Maximo finds you here. Besides, she still believes in you, in the prophecy.”A new wave of guilt and anger washed over me once again. Aurora and Axel had once again risked their life to save mine, and what did I do to repay them? I tried to ruin their relationship with my childish infatuation.“I’m really sorry,” I said to Klaus as tears slowly streamed down my eyes, “I never should have kissed you. I never should have…”“Hey,” he whispered gently and placed his hands on mine, “it’s not your fault. Besides, it takes two people to kiss. We both kissed each other. So you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it.”“But…” I tried to argue. I firmly believed it was my fault. That it was my rotten luck that led me here, and I was about to infect them w
Maximo PoVIt’s been almost a week since that magical child escaped my grip. And how she escaped was still a mystery. That was why I hated working with other people. They’re always inept and eventually let you down. Some even let you down repeatedly, no matter how many second chanced you give them. “Take for Axel for example,” I growled, “the idiot lost the pack I worked very hard to give him. And tried to lie his way back to my side.”There was a limit to foolishness, and Axel and his lackeys had definitely passed theirs. I had them locked in the prison yard till I know what to do with them. I stood up and began to pace my room. Jack had it custom made to suit me. It was wide and spacious, just like I love it. He’d initially stuffed the room with lots of modern mundanities, but I had them removed. I’ve survived without modern vanities for so long, and I intend to keep it that way.The only furniture in the room was the bed, a bed stool, a small table pressed against a northern wall
Lisa PoV“You do realize I’ve been cooped up in here for more than a week,” I groaned, sprawled on the bed. “I know,” Belinda replied with a smirk, “I’ve also been counting the days of the week with you, child.”“I want to go outside,” I complained, “take a run in the woods, go to the market, take my wolf for a spin. She’s beginning to rouse you know. Soon, she’ll be back.”“Good to know you’re getting strong enough to dream of going outside,” Belinda smiled, “a couple of days ago you were recovering from your death sentence.”I sighed and jumped back on the bed.“Look,” Belinda got away from a strange medical equipment she was fiddling with and came to sit on my bed, “I know you want to go out. I understand that perfectly, but you know it’s not safe.”“I’ll be careful,” I hastily replied, “I promise.”“Fine,” she sighed, “I’ll tell Klaus when comes by. He’s the Alpha, only him can give the permission.”“You know what he would say,” I pouted, and tried to mimic Klaus’s voice, “it’s n
