SORA'S POV:-I stood up and was about to walk away when he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his lap. I gasped as he wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in the crock of my neck. “You are not the only one who has a sharp mind. I thought about it too but I like to keep my thoughts to myself. Unless I am offered something in return. I promise I will not ask you to do anything you are not comfortable with.” He whispered softly in my ear. His offer was indeed tempting but I didn't know if I was supposed to trust him or not.I turned, hoping to glare at him. I was angry at him. But when I looked at him, my cheeks heated up. He had a mischievous grin on his face that made my heart hammer wildly against my rib cage. As if he knew about my reaction, his grin widened. “What the fuck do you want now?” I asked, trying to sound confident and angry but deep down, I was melting in his arms. He snaked one of his arms around my waist from behind and wrapped the other one around my shoulde
SORA'S POV:-I was starting to feel annoyed by Loid's long lecture. Part of me wanted to just leave but the other part, the curious side of me, wanted to know more. “Let's talk about your thoughts first. There must be a reason why you also think that the Dark Crescent Moon pack can actually bring the whole kingdom to their knees. Why did you think that?” Loid asked me in a low tone.The question was too easy. The answer was like a nursery rhyme. The Dark Crescent Moon pack was the only pack of the werewolf kingdom that had beaches and was connected to the ocean. That was the only connection the werewolf kingdom had with the allied kingdoms. Kingdoms like the enchanted kingdom, dragon kingdom, Naga kingdom and lycanthrope kingdom. The import and export of all the allied kingdoms were dependent on the Crescent Moon pack. Without the Crescent Moon pack, the allied kingdoms couldn't have the kind of contact they needed to continue with their alliance. Everything was connected together an
SORA'S POV:-Exhausted with the double training that I just received, I made my way back home. Since I no longer had to do any of the chores but supervise all the omegas who do the chores around the mansion, the job was easier sometimes. Whenever I was beat, I would just tell them whatever they needed to do and take a short nap. I never needed to worry if they would mess up with anything.That day, I was hoping I could have the time to soak my aching body in warm water loaded with Himalayan salt to soothe my aching joints and exhausted body. But it was not one of those days when I was allowed to have a breather. Well, I thought it was a lucky day since from the morning, I was given chances for a better future. I was just overconfident.The moment I stepped into the mansion, I heard a loud blast. And the next thing I witnessed, all the omegas running out of the kitchen, screaming in horror. It took me a minute to understand why they were actually screaming. Sewers like disgusting smell
SORA'S POV:-My mother pushed me forward and my eyes widened in surprise. I tried to grab the kitchen counter but my hand slipped. The smashed glass was on the ground and I was about to fall on it. I covered my eyes with one hand and my throat with the other. There was no way I could protect myself from that fall. As always, I decided to accept the punishment that was written for me. I was waiting to be stabbed by a million glass pieces, piercing through my skin, but instead, a pair of strong arms wrapped around my body and I was stunned. As long as I knew, no one else was in the mansion except for me, my mother and my stupid ass sister.When I opened my eyes, Loid's green eyes were the first thing that I saw and it immediately calmed me down. “Are you alright?” He asked, his face was contoured with concern. I could only nod my head in response to his question. All I knew is the man who showed practically no concern about anything or anyone, was suddenly so concerned about my well be
SORA'S POV:-I laid down on his bed and tried to control myself. I was shaking. “Carie, you bitch! You were supposed to at least ease up my pain.” I growled at my wolf, to which she didn't respond again. She just kept wagging her tail in excitement. Once all the glass shards were pulled out of my skin and my flesh, Loid dipped a long and soft towel in the warm water and wrapped it around both of my feet.The warmth of the water soothed the stinging pain in my feet. When he removed the towel, my feet looked clean. Loid looked up at me and my heart did a loud thud against my rib cage the moment I saw his lips curling up in a mischievous grin.I didn't know why it was so amusing for him in that situation when I was literally crying my lungs out. He scooped me up and moved me upward on his bed until I was lying straight on his bed. He sat down by my feet. I was still confused even when I saw that familiar lustful glint in his eyes. Or maybe I was just denying the fact that he could do som
SORA'S POV:-I smiled as I heard Alpha Cougar’s question. I was rather confident. Maybe that was actually the reason why Loid wanted me to figure it out on my own as he told me the whole story of the Dark Crescent Moon pack. “Of course, I have found the answer to your question. It was not easy, but then again, you couldn't have challenged me if it was easy. And the prize is also very big.” I replied in a low tone and alpha Cougar chuckled.Staring at Alpha Cougar at that moment, I realized that Loid looked nothing like his father. While Sebastian was the carbon copy of his father, Loid was totally different. “Alright! Let me hear the answer to my question.” Alpha Cougar demanded to know my thoughts over the problem the Dark Crescent Moon pack was facing.Alpha Cougar gestured to me to take a seat. I did exactly as he asked me. I sat down on the chair in front of him. “I still think you should threaten to turn off the ports. While every single pack in the kingdom has built the protecti
SORA'S POV:-“What are you doing, Loid?” My voice came out small, barely audible for anyone. “You said, you are exhausted. I am making sure you sleep tight tonight.” He whispered softly in my ear. He pulled my head to his chest. My senses were out of the window at that point. I was too exhausted to even push him away. And I couldn't push him away because he and I had a deal.“You did great! You can sleep now.” He whispered again in my ear. His words were way too accurate for me to stay sleepy. My eyes shot open and looked at his face.“What do you mean?” I asked him in a low tone and that same amusing smirk appeared on his face as if I had grown a pair of horns on my head.“It's not funny, Loid. Sometimes you make me worry. What were you talking about? Just spit it out already.” I tried not to raise my voice at him but the exhaustion was surely taking a toll on me. “I don't need to ask you about the results. I already knew that you would have gotten the promotion.” He whispered soft
LOID'S POV:-After getting ready for the day, I stepped out of my bedroom. As soon as I stepped out, her delicious scent engulfed me in its arms. I couldn't help myself but inhaled as deeply as I could. I filled my lungs with her beautiful scent. Smiling brightly, I walked toward the staircase. Sora was standing at the end of the staircase with an Omega. I was descending down the stairs when all of a sudden I froze. She had grabbed onto the Omega's hand.My insides were burning with jealousy and hatred for the Omega. She was laughing and talking to that man the way I wanted her to talk to me but unfortunately, she never even considered talking to me with such happiness.Growling angrily, I glared at that omega. I was so lost in my angry thoughts, I didn't notice when she had walked away from the omega. And the omega walked in the other direction. Instead of following her first, I decided to go after the omega. She and I were not on such good terms that even if I misbehaved with her or
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Sora gasped loudly as she sat up. Breathing heavily, Sora looked at her surroundings. She sighed in relief. There weren't any skinwalkers around. Sora knew that the Moon Goddess' seal was back in its place and all the skinwalkers had been sealed away. Her head was spinning and she could hear her blood pumping into her veins. Sora tried to stand up but she fell right back on my butt. Her head was spinning, Sora was dizzy. With all the strength that Sora could master, she stood up on her feet and made her way out of the woods. “Loid! Noah!” Sora called out loud as she made her way out. Sora stepped out on the road, trying to figure out where she was. Sora gasped loudly as she heard a loud honking from behind. She wanted to move away but her body froze. A car was approaching her fast.A few feet away from where Sora was standing, the car turned to the side, dodging her. It stopped a few feet away. Clutching onto her chest, Sora fell on the ground. A woman stepped ou
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Loid and Sora were staring at Sebastian in utter shock. Noah was also staring at Sebastian but in confusion. “Sebastian! What is all this? Why are you here?” Loid growled at his brother. Loid knew what was happening, yet his brain didn't want to process that piece of information for the sake of his brother's well-being. Loid was surprised more than before when Sebastian started laughing at Loid.Noah stepped forward and took a better look at Sebastian's face. “Aren't you Sebastian Cougar, Loid's twin brother? What are you doing here?” Noah almost repeated the same question as Loid, but Sebastian couldn't stop laughing.“Why the fuck are you laughing, Sebastian? What is wrong with you?” Loud asked, growling at his brother this time. He was getting impatient because he could hear all the warriors screaming and fighting.“What's that, brother? Why is he so interested in you? Did you guys make out or something?” Instead of answering all the questions he was asked, Seb
SORA'S POV:-After clearing my head by walking aimlessly for a few hours, I finally decided to go back to the palace. I was already exhausted. I needed time to deal with everything. I decided not to stop by my father's chambers, as I knew well that he would be trying to convince me to let Noah mark me. I didn't want that. I didn't care about anything, not even that damn kingdom that didn't protect me when I needed protection from them. Why was I supposed to sacrifice when they needed it from me? They didn't do anything for me.I opened the bedroom and as soon as I stepped in, my breath hitched when I found both Noah and Loid sitting in the same bed. They had their pants on but their upper bodies were naked. “What are you both doing?” I growled at them both. I couldn't say if they were under any of Celeste's sick spells. I couldn't see anything, maybe because I was still recovering, I was unable to see it. Either way, I didn't want to even look at them.I was about to turn around and l
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Several millennia ago, when The Moon goddess was living among all the creatures that lived in this magical realm, a chaos was ignited in between all the creatures. Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, lust and beauty, wanted to seduce the Moon and turn its powers to provide her with more beauty that could never be declined, even by God Zeus.The Moon Goddesses didn't want the Moon to lose its beauty and its powers. Especially when their powers were connected with it. Then came Goddess Selene, who wasn't connected with the moon but the Moon was connected with her powers. The moon was like a child to all the goddesses of the moon. Together, they refused Aphrodite's oblation. Goddess Selene, the Goddess of the Moon and all the shapeshifters, kicked Aphrodite out of her Temple when Aphrodite decided to use force against the Goddesses, to take away the silver light of the moon. She wanted to drink that silver light to become more beautiful than she already was. And Goddess
SORA'S POV:-The next morning, I was called by my father to meet him personally before the official meeting could have started. Nervously, I was staring at my reflection in the mirror. Loid stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. I couldn't help but lick my lips as I watched him. I heard him chuckle, that's when my eyes went up to his face. My cheeks turned red without the powdered blush. I had been caught red handed.Loud walked toward me and zipped up the long dark green dress I was wearing. “There is no need for you to feel nervous. I will be there with you. And I will be by your side no matter what happens. And I promise to never ask you anything about those abilities of yours again.” Loid whispered, his promise made me smile.Well, he had learned his lesson. And I was glad. I also helped him get dressed. After that, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside of our bedroom. Although I was a little hungry, I knew I needed to talk to my father about the matter.
SORA'S POV:-I was excited to spend some alone time with my maye. It felt like ages since we had sat together like that and talked nonsense. And laughed at stupid things that we talked about. Loud helped me down on the ground, then Loid walked away, to look for the fresh red apples, just the way I liked them. My heart was beating so face in excitement. It was finally at ease that we were no longer in trouble. “Hey! Are you lost, little girl? How old are you? Where are your parents?” I frowned in confusion when I heard Loid's voice not from afar.I looked up and my heart almost stopped for a few seconds as I looked at the dark creature that was standing in front of Loid, glaring at him with its eyes filled with blood lust for Loid. Terror gripped my heart and my body was suddenly so cold. As if I had frozen in my place, and was unable to move.“Don't be afraid, sweetie! I will not hurt you. Are you lost? Let me help you find your parents.” Loid tried to talk to that thing in his gentle
SORA'S POV:-I couldn't bear that pain in my chest. I couldn't bear that scene playing again and again in my head. I wanted to get out of there because I felt suffocated in between the walls of the huge palace that belonged to my father. I hated that place. Before we came to the palace, I had everything that I needed. I had my mate who loved me so much. I had a home and a family that I always wanted. But since I became the lost princess of the werewolf kingdom, I became the poorest of all.My heart was burning in flames of rage and jealousy. I was his mate. It was natural. When I didn't even look at another man, I found him kissing his ex. “Sora! Wait!” I heard Loid calling me from behind. I already knew that he was running after me. But I didn't want to respond to him. I didn't even want to see him.“Sora! I said wait!” Loid called again from behind. I wiped my tears as I ran deeper and deeper into the woods. Just then, he grabbed my hand from behind and I gasped loudly when I was pu
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Loid went for a run after leaving Sora at the Alpha King's Chambers. His mind just couldn't rest. He wanted to know everything about his mate. After all, they were soul mates. There was not supposed to be any secrets between soul mates. After running for miles, then showering and even after having his evening snacks, he couldn't stop thinking about that secret Sora was hiding from him. At last, he decided to go to the library and read some good books that could help him take his mind off of things.To his luck, he found a perfect book to keep his mind off of everything that was bothering him. It was a book about history and warfare. With a warm cup of ginger tea, he sat down on a desk and began reading the book. His mind finally found something else to focus on and his insides were quiet for a while. Loid felt peace that he had lost since he figured out that Sora had been lying to him about her abilities. He was busy flipping pages one after another when a famili
SORA'S POV:-I almost wanted to laugh when I heard my father trying to cover up his bigger curse word with a smaller one. But the discussion we were having was way too serious. I couldn't just laugh while discussing something serious. I might be his daughter and to him I was his lost little girl but in reality, I was a grown woman with a mate and a pack that I was ruling with my mate as their Luna. I had some boundaries that I couldn't cross, like ever.So I took a deep breath and grabbed the cup of tea from the table and took a sip. It wasn't as hot but enough to keep me from laughing out hard in front of my father. “I don't understand. You said she didn't want kids. But then you said that Solana was older than me. I don't understand.” I tried to change the conversation. Of course, I wanted answers. All the questions in my head, I wanted them to stop screaming.I heard my father sigh. “Well, that's what she told me the first night when we were supposed to mate. I was considerate. The
