SORA'S POV:-In the morning, I arrived at the training field. As soon as I stepped in, Loid came growling at me. “Fifty laps of the ground, start running. And you have to finish before the clock ticks 9.” I frowned as I didn't understand the reason why he would be so angry. I sighed as there was no use of arguing with that man. I started running as fast as I could. I only had fifteen minutes to complete my laps.I expected to fall down at the thirtieth lap but it didn't happen. Yes, I was panting but so far, I was not as exhausted. Though, it took me five extra minutes to finish my fifty laps. “I thought you would be able to finish it off sooner. What a shame!” He growled at me, making me growl back at him.“We are practicing sparring today. Get rid of your extra clothing or it will only benefit me. Because I will be coming at you, hard.” He growled as he was wrapping his knuckles with the bandages. I pulled my jacket and the shirt off. I was left in my tank top and skinny sweats. Wh
SORA'S POV:-A few days later, after a long and tiring day at the academy, I stepped out and a wide smile appeared on my face. I found Alex waiting for me on his bike. As soon as I stepped out of the academy, he stood straight, holding a bouquet for me. My cheeks turned pink as I walked toward him. “What is all this?” I asked, keeping my voice extremely low. Though, it was useless since I was surrounded by werewolves.“Hi, to you too. Nice to see you again.” He whispered back, rolling his eyes at me. I couldn't help but giggle at the face Alex just made when he was annoyed. “Sorry!” I apologized and in response, he gently pinched my cheek. “I thought I should visit you, since you can hardly be found at home. You are either studying, doing chores or in the field, training with Loid.” Alex sounded annoyed yet again.“In a few days, you actually learned about my routine. I am impressed, Alex.” He chuckled as he listened to me. “What do you say? Shall we get out of here?” Alex asked me
SORA'S POV:-By the time I went back down, I found Solana standing with mom and feeding her lies. “She didn't complete her chores at all. And she went out.” I wanted to stop her because Alpha Cougar was with mom. He was glaring at me for some reason. So I decided to stay quiet and let Solana humiliate herself in front of the Alpha Cougar. Everyone went to the basement and I followed them. Solana was surprised to see the basement completely empty and clean. “Where is the laundry? Didn't you just say that Sora didn't do her chores?” Alpha Cougar growled at Solana angrily. It was amusing to watch her getting humiliated for once the way she had been humiliating me since I could actually remember.Solana was dumbfounded while she was trying to figure out what she could do. “I swear, she didn't do her chores. You can ask anyone around here. She came in late and went straight to her room. She didn't do anything at all.” My heart started pounding against my rib cage as her suggestions echoed
SORA'S POV:-Mom was glaring at Loid. She could no longer control her anger. After all, Loid had attacked her favorite daughter. She was in her defensive mode, standing in front of Solana. Fuming in anger, my mother growled at Loid “How dare you say…” though, Loid didn't let her complete her sentence.“Uh huh! Save your words. I am not in the mood!” Loid growled at mom and turned to me. “You have five minutes to go and get ready. Not a second more!” He growled at me and I quickly nodded my head. I was about to walk toward the entrance when mom grabbed me by my elbow and stopped me. “She will not leave until the kitchen is clean!” Mom growled at Loid while digging her nails in my flesh.I tried so hard not to cry. I was supposed to be brave like a warrior should be. Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to free my arm from her hold. “And I just fucking told you to tell Solana to do it because Sora is coming with me on her first patrol. Don't make me call the Alpha to bring you to your
SORA'S POV:-A month passed in a blink. Loid hardly let me stay at home at night. I also hardly got time to see Alex. It was as if Loid was doing it all on purpose. I was not complaining since he was practically saving me from my evil sister and her twisted plans to humiliate me. I couldn't let anything like that ruin my chance to reach my dream.According to Loid, I had been doing a little better every single day. Well, that's all he could actually say about me. Or maybe, he just didn't like complimenting others. After a long tiring day at the academy, I walked out, massaging my shoulders. As always, Loid gave me less training and more punishment to run laps.I just couldn't understand what was the need for me to run around the place looking like a fool every time I made a mistake. Shaking my head, I walked back hum. I had a full day planned inside my head. But when was the last time my life let me have a little peace in my chaotic life. For some reason, my heart was pounding so lou
LOID'S POV:-I could hear her sobbing outside. I could bet Alpha Noah could do the same. She was standing outside. She didn't dare to come on. My heart squeezed at the words that the bastard just spoke about her. Alpha Noah stood up and asked me about the restroom. Since I knew Sora wouldn't want to take him to the restroom after what he did to her, I decided to walk him to the restroom.I saw her standing in front of the kitchen. She was facing the wall and I could hear her sobs. I had never seen her like that before. As if she was broken. It angered me that her twin sister got back at her in such a cruel way. “I thought you would have run away to jump off of the cliff. I guess I think too much from someone like you.” Alpha Noah growled at her and I watched as her full body tensed up.She turned around and my heart squeezed again at the sight. It was the most stunning sight. Her cheeks were tinted pink, her nose was red due to constant crying. Her eyes were bloodshot. Tears were cons
SORA'S POV:- I was dragged by Alpha Cougar toward the full view mirror. He pointed his index finger at my neck. “This mark! Where did you get this mark from? Did you find your mate last night?” Alpha Cougar was growling at me angrily. But I was too busy staring at my neck in horror as I had no idea what actually happened to me that night. I only remembered talking to my wolf. I could hardly understand anything at all. “I have no idea, alpha. I don't know anything about this mark. I saw it just now when you showed it to me.” I replied to Alpha Cougar in a low tone. My heart was beating wildly inside of my rib cage. Alpha Cougar took his hand off of my shoulders and turned me around. He was staring into my eyes as if he was gazing into my soul to check if I was actually lying to him or not. “I don't lie to anyone, alpha. I especially wouldn't lie to you. Please, believe me. I can only remember shifting into my wolf. Nothing else.” I tried to convince Alpha Cougar. I didn't want every
SORA'S POV:- Alex dropped me off at the academy. I made my way straight toward the class. I could no longer waste anymore time. If I was to be banished in the end, I wanted to learn as much as I could from Loid. I needed to learn not just to defend myself, I needed to learn to kill without showing mercy. Being a rogue in the Red Dew Kingdom was nothing but a death sentence. Especially for women. The male rogues often used female rogues as either their breeders or as their personal fuck dolls. For me, both options were off limits. That's why I needed to make a new option. To learn and live like a dark creature. To live alone and survive on my own. For that, I needed to be crazy enough to enjoy the bloodbath. And who could teach me to be crazy better than Loid. After attending my classes for the day, I made my way toward the field. Since the history teacher was absent, I decided to go to the training field before Loid and run some laps just to be ready for him. No matter how careful
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
