The moment Diana woke up the next day, she looked towards her side, expecting to see Asher there.He wasn't. So it had been another dream. And like the other dreams, it felt so real. She fell backwards and let out a pleased sigh. Memories of the dream replayed in her mind and she giggled happily. She had never felt this way about her other dreams, so why did she suddenly feel giddy after last night?Was it because last night has been slightly different from the others?"Get a hold of yourself, Diana," she scolded herself and jumped out of the bed. As she made her way to the bathroom, someone knocked."Come in," Two maids walked in holding freshly washed sheets and duvets."Pleasant morning to you, Princess Diana," the maids curtsied respectfully."Pleasant morning to you too," Diana smiled softly at them. "The Alpha and Luna have asked us to inform you that the school wouldn't be open today," Tessa, the blonde maid, spoke softly."Why not?" Diana asked."It is because everyone need
Syrena whirled around and the smile on her face disappeared when she spotted Diana.Axel was stunned, as well her brothers, to see Diana standing there, glaring at Syrena like a furious goddess."What are you doing here?" Syrena asked angrily. "Don't you have something better to do than stalk me?""I could say the same for you," Diana shot back. "Don't you have something better to do than throw yourself at every man you see?"Asher forced out a dry cough, a poor attempt to disguise his laughter while Alden and Axel looked away so they wouldn't give away the amusement on their faces."You know Diana, I think you're overstepping your boundaries here," Syrena slowly moved forward until she was glaring right into Diana's eyes. "Just because you're the Alpha's daughter doesn't mean...""I am the Alpha's daughter," Diana shut her up with a swift comeback. "And that means I am better than you. You're just a crazy shewolf who wants every man to get into her pants.""At least I have a wolf," S
"Diana wake up!"It was when her eyes snapped open that Diana realized she was the one screaming. She shot up in bed, breathing hard, eyes wide and darting around frantically. Her night dress was damp with perspiration, her hair plastered to her face.Someone touched her and she gasped, scooting away from the physical contact."Diana, it's me," Luna Catherine said worriedly. "It's mom. You just had a bad dream."Realizing that it was indeed her mother in the room with her, Diana's face crumpled and she began to sob."Oh, mom," she sobbed, letting her mother fold her in her embrace."There, there, that's enough," Luna Catherine whispered, caressing Diana's back soothingly. "It was just a bad dream. You're fine now. Just a bad dream.""I was so scared," Diana whimpered, her tears spilling down her cheeks freely. "It was so dark in the forest, and I was so scared.""It was all a dream," Luna Catherine repeated and kissed her hair. "No one will hurt you. You're safe."[Alaric, please com
Time flew by quickly and soon, the sun sank over the horizon. The clouds cleared, giving way to the gibbous moon to send its silvery rays to the earth.The bonfire had been lit and the entire shifters crowded around it, laughing as they chatted with one another. Drinks were being shared while music played softly in the background.Some of the new students, particularly the witches, had blended in easily and were seen conversing with the shifters. The vampires were slowly warming up to the crowd, while the foxes kept to themselves.Alpha Alaric and Luna Catherine had retired for the night, leaving Alden, Asher and Axel to lead the party."You should go make some new friends," Axel commented as he lowered himself beside Diana on the stairs."Like you mean it," she rolled her eyes."I do." Axel said, his eyes scanning the crowd. "Have you forgotten what happened when I tried to make a 'few friends' in school?" Diana arched a brow and faced him. "You almost took Jason's throat off."Axel
The moment the large brown wolf lunged at Brandon and tackled him to the ground, hell broke loose.The party scattered.Other vampires who had been secretly jealous of the triplets, found an opportunity to fight when Alden attacked one of their kind.They rushed into the fight, their forms blurring rapidly as they used their vamp speed. In the blink of an eye, the other creatures joined in the fight and soon, the sound of snarls and growls filled the air.Suddenly a shrill scream ripped the tension in the air as one of the witches was pushed into the bonfire. Her clothes lit up in flames, but was quickly extinguished by the other witches.Alden and Brandon, the main cause of the fight were locked in a fierce combat while Asher struggled between keeping the crowd back and stopping the other fights.[Alden! Control your beast!] he tried to reach his brother through the mind link, but Alden was in full beast mode, his anger and protective instinct over his mate blocking out every other s
Alpha Alaric shot out from his seat so fast that the chair tumbled over."What?" he asked unbelievably."It's true father," Asher nodded. "Diana is our mate."Alpha Alaric turned to Axel, and Axel nodded.Luna Catherine walked up to her mate and held his hand, a happy smile on her face."It's true. They told me moments ago. My love, this is the news we've always been waiting for. I know Diana was sent our way for a reason. I can't believe she's mated to them. Imagine if we hadn't found her that night."Alpha Alaric was having a hard time processing the news. He never imagined the little baby they found seventeen years ago and adopted, would turn out to be mated to his sons."How long have you known this?" he asked.Alden sighed. This was the part he was dreading. He knew his parents would be mad that they kept it to themselves for so long."A year now," he said and shut his eyes when Catherine gasped."What? A year?"Alpha Alaric closed his eyes and turned away, unable to believe that
Diana stirred in her sleep and mumbled incoherently. She was having that sweet dream again, where she was at the blissful mercy of her brothers.She gasped as Alden pinned her hands above her head. She was gloriously naked, the mounds of her breast hardening under his gaze. The next thing she felt was a pair of warm lips closing over her nipple. She bit her lips, arching her back as pleasure slammed into her throbbing core."Oh," she moaned when another pair of warm lips closed over her other nipple. Her eyes opened and she gasped as expert hands slid down her flat tummy, and slid into her wet entrance."You're so wet, Diana," Alden whispered, his eyes holding her captive."So sweet," Asher whispered from her side, teasing her wickedly with his tongue."So hot," Axek whispered from her other side and grazed the hardened peak of her nipple with his teeth.Diana nearly flew off the bed as desire shot through her bloodstream. Alden dipped one finger into her and she cried out, her orga
"What?" Alden shot up from his seat. "Father you can't really mean...""That's an order!" Alpha Alaric snapped.[What about the rogues we told you about? Who will keep an eye on Diana while we're gone?] Alden asked desperately through the mind link.Alpha Alaric paused, then turned to his daughter with a smile. "Dorian will stay with you. If you want anything, let him know."He leaned down and kissed her hair, then turned and left the dining hall.Diana was now more confused than ever. Why was everyone suddenly acting strange?"Mom?" she turned to Catherine. "Is everything okay? Did something happen last night?""Of course not," Catherine shook her head, putting on a fake smile so Diana wouldn't become suspicious. "Why did you ask?""Dad is acting really weird, and he has never taken Alden, Asher and Axel with him to his meetings." Diana said. "Don't worry about your father," Catherine took Diana's hand and squeezed it softly. "Maybe he wants your brothers for a reason.""But beta D
100 years later... Alaric and Catherine had resigned as Alpha and Luna of the pack, leaving it for Alden and his brothers to rule. One fateful day, a new group of werewolves were brought to the pack. Just as it had been done years ago in the time of Alpha Alaric, werewolves who didn't belong to a pack traveled down to the Bloodmoon pack so they could be sworn in as members, and protected from the outside world. After they had sworn their loyalties to the triplets Alphas, the warriors began to group them into pack houses. Alden and his brothers left the beta and gamma to do the job and they left, taking a walk round the pack and making sure everyone was settling in. Suddenly, they perceived a sweet and unique scent. Asher was the first to stop abruptly, and then his brothers followed. "That sweet scent." Alden whispered. They couldn't be mistaken. Only one person had that scent, and they would recognize it anywhere. It was Diana. In the next instant, the triplets shifted into
Alden and his brothers were dumbstruck. It seemed they had seen a ghost. "Diana? Dad?" Asher whispered, unable to believe his eyes. He was terrified that if he blinked, they would disappear. Beside him, Alden and Axel were so still. It was Catherine who finally took a tentative step forward and gently stretched her hand forward. "Alaric," She said softly. "Is it really you?"Alpha Alaric smiled at her gently. Then he looked towards his daughter and gently placed a kiss on her hair. Turning back to his mate, he stepped out of the pool and took her in his arms. "It is, my love." His deep voice caressed her. "I came back to you."Catherine's eyes filled with tears as she touched her mate all over, making sure he was real and not a figment of her imagination. When she realized it was really him standing before her in flesh and blood, she burst into happy tears and threw herself into his arms. "Oh Alaric," She sobbed. "I thought I would never see you again. I was so lost without you
A week had gone by since the death of Alaric and Diana. Bloodmoon pack was deserted. After the war with Astrid, the other creatures had packed up their families and left the pack to the outside world. The Michaelson school lay in ruins. The only people left in the pack were the triplets, Catherine and a few of the warriors.Even after the war they won, things didn't go back to the way they were. The sky remained dark and moonless, and the realm felt like it had been sucked dry of life. Catherine moved about the mansion like a ghost, her face etched with the pain of her lost mate and her daughter. The only reason she didn't take her life were her sons. They were what made her live each day. As for Alden and his brothers, things would never be the same. Diana didn't just die; she took a part of them with her. And though they tried to ignore the pain and pretended like they were okay, deep down, the pain of losing her was all consuming. The days went by seamlessly, until one night,
Alaric slowly climbed to his feet behind Astrid and withdrew the dagger Diana had given to him. The pain he felt was excruciating, but he carefully trudged forward, his eyes intent on Astrid. He had to do it. He had to save everyone before it was too late. It wasn't easy for a father to kill his own child, but as Diana stated earlier, it was the only way. An Alpha had to make difficult decisions, no matter who it would affect. And at that point, destroying Diana's body which was inhabited by Astrid was the only way to save the entire realm. As he got closer to Astrid, Alden sensed him and he raised his head weakly. His gaze focused on Alaric and the moment he saw the dagger, he knew what his father was about to do. Kill Diana.Before he could hold himself, he yelled out unintentionally. "Father no!" Astrid whirled around instantly, her black eyes zeroing in on Alaric. She snarled at him and shot out her arm, sending Alaric flying backwards. "You werewolves never give up." She u
"You have to kill me."Alpha Alaric froze, the color draining from his face. He slowly released Diana, shaking his head in denial. "No," He whispered. "Dad please...""No Diana." Alaric shook his head, his entire body trembling. "How can you ask of something like that from me?""It is the only way." Diana cried out. "Astrid is going to destroy the realm, and she has already succeeded because the moon is gone...""No..." Alaric adamantly refused. "Dad we can't let more innocent people die...""I can't do it Diana!" Alaric suddenly burst out. Then his voice lowered and trembled as he continued. "I can't kill my own child, my own daughter.""So you would let other people die?" Diana whispered. "If Astrid takes over, I'll die. Why not make use of the opportunity and defeat her instead?""Diana, it isn't as easy as you want it to be." Alaric whispered back. There were tears glistening in his eyes, threatening to fall. "I can't kill my own daughter. This is a difficult decision you're as
Immediately the pentagram's connection was severed, Astrid lost control of her powers for a moment. This gave the large wolf an opportunity to tackle her to the ground. "No!" She screamed, struggling to free herself from the wolf above her. The other two wolves stepped out of the pentagram and hurried towards Alden and Asher. "Mother, Axel," Asher called out in a voice filled with relief. Catherine and Axel swiftly shifted into their human forms and loosened the vines holding him and Alden. "How did you know where to find us?" Alden asked, freeing his hands from the vines. "Astrid destroyed the moon. Didn't you feel the pain?""We felt it." Axel answered, grabbing Asher's arm and lifting him up. "I felt like I would die. Mother and Father were down too, until suddenly, the pain disappeared. I don't know how it happened, but I used that opportunity to lead them here.""It was Astrid." Asher replied. He held on to his side as his wound slowly began to heal. "Now that she has destroy
Alpha Alaric jerked awake when he felt the mansion tremble. Besides him, Catherine shot up from the bed, one hand gripping him in fright. "What was that?" She whispered. Again the mansion trembled and shook as if the earth was about to split in two. Without wasting another second, Alaric pushed off the bed and hurried towards the door. "Alaric wait." Catherine called, throwing on her robe and hurrying after him. As they ran through the hallway towards the stairs, the tremor increased until the mansion felt like it was being uprooted from the earth. The chandeliers flickered repeatedly and went off, plunging the mansion into darkness. The warriors hurried up the stairs just as Alaric and Catherine descended. "Alpha...""Henry, what is happening?" Alaric demanded, his voice loud and powerful. "We have no idea Alpha." Henry responded, his voice filled with fear and confusion. "The earth suddenly began to shake. It looks like an earthquake.""Get everyone out of the mansion." Alar
"NO!" Alden roared. "If you dare harm my mate, I will...""What? Kill me?" Astrid taunted him. Her cold smile widened. "Don't you get it Alden? I am not the one who will hurt her. It is you, and everyone else who will try to kill me. Being in the same body with Diana sure has its perks. I have her powers, and her body is under my control. But if you kill me, she'll die."Alden was at a loss of what to do. He couldn't destroy Astrid without losing his mate in the process. He thought everything would be back to normal after Astrid's death. How wrong he was. The battle wasn't over. Astrid looked up to the moon. It was past midnight. She needed to begin the spells. She gazed back at Alden and her smile disappeared, leaving her face cold and dark. "If I were you, I would run back to my parents and warn them of the impending doom. Because the moment I destroy the moon, this pack is going down first."As she turned to leave, Alden made up his mind. He shifted abruptly into his beast and l
"Don't move." Diana's voice reached him. "I have a dagger at your back, and you don't want me to hurt you.""Diana," Alden gasped in surprise. "What are you doing? It's me, Alden.""I know it is you." Diana replied. Keeping the dagger pointed at him, she walked around until she was standing in front of him. There was a slight smile on her lips when she faced him. "Did you really think I wouldn't know you were following me?"Alden tried to smile back, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was definitely wrong. Diana's whole demeanor was off. It was like he was staring at another person. "Where were you going?" He asked. Diana lowered the dagger and stood staring at him. "I couldn't sleep. I needed a walk to clear my head.""You've been acting strangely for days now." Alden voiced out his concerns. Though he appeared relaxed but he was alert to his surroundings. "Since you got your powers back from Astrid...""Did you expect things to go back to the way it was so easily?"
