Elsa’s POV“Wake up!” I opened my eyes with my arms flailing in the darkness. It was the same nightmare again, even as I got closer to my place of origin.“You were having another nightmare again,” Damian said as he sat closer to me, wrapping a blanket over my body.I sighed as I looked at the three of them sitting next to me over the crackle of the fire. “I’m sorry if I startled you.”“It’s fine. We were awake already,” Dennis said as he took a wood from the fire, throwing it into the distance.“Are you okay?” Damian asked.I nodded my head, rubbing my hand across my face. Since I could transform; the nightmare had stopped for a while until I began this journey. “I’m fine. Are we ready to continue the journey?”“If the Luna would agree to us leaving, but I recommend you rest for a bit,” Dennis said.I shook my head as I pushed myself to my feet. “We are closer to the place right now, aren’t we?” I asked Camille.She nodded her head, but I could sense another feeling underneath her l
Elsa’s POV“I agree to be your luna, but I cannot have us stay here,” I said as I looked around.“What would you have us do, Luna?” The old man asked as everyone stood. “This is the only place we have known as home. We come back here no matter how many times we get attacked, hoping someone from his blood will come.”“I am here now, and I would not want you to remain here in perpetual danger.” I said as I looked at the surrounding people.“I hope you aren’t doing the very thing I think?” Dennis asked, stepping closer to me.I turned to him, watching the people from the corners of my eyes. “They cannot stay here.”“Neither can they join with our increasing number at the castle,” he pointed out. “We have over two hundred people waiting for us, and we are yet to add another two hundred mouth when we can not feed those at home.”“I appreciate your insight, Dennis, but with more hands. We can protect ourselves better,” I said as I turned to them.“More hands, equal more mouth.”I nodded as
Damian’s POV.I stood, staring at the fading moon, almost in its crescent shape detailing the end of the month. Winter was coming soon, and that was the most trying period for a group of werewolf without sustainable means of feeding.“Looks like we have our hands filled,” Elsa said as she stood next to me.I chuckled as I turned towards her, watching her milky face from the silver glow of the moon. She was as beautiful as she was as the first day I saw her. “You are the Luna, and your decision concerning the pack is final.”She threw me a smile before she faced the ground, kicking at the gravel on the ground. “Do you think I am doing the right thing?”“A good thing is always the right thing,” I said as I nudged her, pulling her attention back to me.She smiled, swaying her body from my push. “You said you had something to tell me.”I swallowed heard, feeling my heartbeat increase in my chest. “Yeah.”“Well, I’m here right now and I want to know,” she said with a smile.“You remember w
Elsa’s POV.Morning came faster than I had expected. Damian was at my door, knocking as opposed to his usual barging into my room.“Has he passed the message?” I asked as I washed my face with the water in the room.“We’ll never know if we don’t go to the meeting room,” Damian said as he handed me a towel to clean my face.I heaved a deep breath as I cleaned, walking ahead of him to the meeting room. We had to find a bigger hall in the castle, as the old one could not contain over four hundred people.Everyone looked at me as I stood in front of them, waiting for me to speak. I stared at Damian, with my heart still pounding from the news I shared with him.“I know we are still getting to know each other,” I said as I looked around the people with staring. “But we are yet to fight our greatest battle.”“What are the issues, Luna? We have survived far worse winters if this is about the food rations,” someone said from the crowd, with everyone agreeing with him.“I wish it was something
Elsa’s POV I stood in front of my men, my first time as the leader of an attack. Everyone knew I was the one with the alpha’s blood running through my being.Damian came by my side, staring into the distance with me. “Do you think you have to lead the group to a war?”I turned to face him, understanding his fear towards the situation even when I overcame the hurdles hindering my abilities and we discovered we were mates. “I have to do it for our group. We are almost like a pack, and a threat to every pack out there.”“I just found you, and I’m afraid I’d lose you once this war begins,” he said, lowering his head.I smiled as I turned to face him, holding his head in my hand. “There is nothing to fear here,” I said, raising his head to stare at me."“It’s just......”I closed his lips with a kiss, pulling away with a sigh. “We have a battle we have to win, or else we can never be together. Another alpha comes, and will take me from you when he discovers I have alpha blood in my veins.
Elsa’s POV He laughed as he saw me climb out from the treeline. “You are a growing pack and your first leader is a Luna instead of an alpha?” He asked with a chuckle. “It seems two hundred men were more of a hassle if I needed to take you out.”“Does it really matter who is the leader of a pack?” I asked as I moved forward, feeling Damian and Dennis move together with me He shook his head like he never heard my words, moving closer as well. “Caspian told me he asked you all to join my pack, but you refused, and yet you stole from me members who would like to join my pack.”“We never stole from you, alpha Hector,” I said, addressing his title to let him know I was not in the mood for a speech.“That is not what I heard,” he said as he looked back at his men. “Caspian!”I remembered this face as he stepped forward. Twice we had met, and twice we had forced him on his heels to his master.“Is this the motley crew you said stole over a hundred werewolves from you while decimating a hund
Elsa’s POVI stood before my men, for the very first time as their leader after the attack. It was no news that I had the alpha blood in me, as everyone memorized that atbthe back of their palm, and today of all days, the need arose for me to prove myself. Damian, always the supportive mate, stood hard by my side, though worried, but also determined. "Do you think it's really necessary for you to lead the group to a war at this stage?" he asked, his voice evident with worry concern.I spurned around to face him, sensing his fear despite all we'd overcome together. “I really have to. At least, consider it for our group, and also for our survival. We are almost a full blown pack, and that also came with its own disadvantage as our survival now pose as a threat to every almost every pack out there.”He sighed in frustration as he lowered his head. "I just did my best to found you, Elsa. I'm scared I’ll lose you to the cold hands of death when this war starts."My smile widened as I c
The BattleDennis bowed in respect and rushed out almost immediately to carry out my orders. The forest surrounding us, fortunately showed signs of holding its breath as we made preparations for the battle that is unavoidable. Not quite long, the attackers from the rival pack stormed in. Counting the number randomly, I noticed a hundred men were present. The information from our scouts came out right.“The great Alpha Hector,” the men that just arrived called out in reverence as a huge figure emerged with authority. "Is that what the man is called, Hector?" I asked Dennis in a whisper.Dennis replies, “That's the rude and most callous unforgiving, and power hungry alpha of Night Howler.”Alpha Hector's voice was heard echoing deep in the forest in mockery. "Who dares come out to be in charge here?"I swallowed an invisible lump that magically formed on my throat. And I knew for sure that this moment, was mine to shine.“If by your silence it means you do not have a leader, then your
Melinda's POV I gasped out, and began to pant heavily. I was sweating and my heart was thumping against my ribcage. My memory seemed blank and it felt as if I was floating on thin air. "Melinda?" I heard someone called me, but the voice seemed distant. "Melinda, can you hear me?" The voice called out to me again and shook me. I gasped out again and batted my lashes, getting my blurry view clear. I felt a hand in my cheek and I shivered in fright. "Melinda, wake up. We are safe now," the voice said again. I blinked and my gaze fell on Damien, who was seating beside me. Yes Damien, behind him was the Luna, Dennis was standing beside, and Camille.I remembered everything. I remembered their names and their faces. I was locked in the spiritual realm but I somehow survived. I faced the Marcus and I think I was able to use my dark magic a bit, although, the memory wasn't clear enough. Camille walked closer and helped me seat well. "Are you alright?" The Luna asked, staring at me wi
Melinda's POVDarkness was all that surrounded me. I couldn't see, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk. I was locked in a forever darkness, but I wanted out. I don't know how it happened or what brought me into the empty space, but I knew it was my soul floating in the air.My body was at the edge of giving up and I could feel it. No matter how much I tried to move or tried to look for an escape way, something or rater, someone, kept drawing me back. It was as if there was a force holding me back. Someone was involved and the only way I could get nab is to fight him and bring him down. That way, he won't be able to clock my magic flow. But I couldn't do anything to help myself out of my vegetative state. 'Help!' I kept screaming in my head.It took days, months until it got to a year and I was still locked in. The time in the spiritual realm is faster than the time in the real world. A year could mean a week in the real world. It was forever for me. With each passing day, I kept tr
Caspian's POV We walked into the courtyard with our heads need in shame. We couldn't bring ourselves to looking at the Alpha and the disappointment enveloping his face. "It's about time," he muttered. "Now, where is the Vela Harmento?"I went on my knees immediately and Raider did the same. "I am sorry Alpha, but we lost it," I answered, remembering the battle I had with Damien and I still lost anyway. "What do you mean by you lost it?" He questioned, probably staring daggers at us. "We weren't the only one in search of the vela Harmento. Damien and the other guy, Dennis, were also in search for it. We fought to get it but unfortunately, they won. They had the hell of the lake's monster." I answered even though I lied in some point. They never had the help of anyone. They beat us singlehandedly. Besides, I was the one who got the help but i failed anyway. That damn Marcus deceived me and failed. He almost made Damien kill my body and that would have been hard to come back to it.
Hector's pov"HOW DARE YOU ALL LET HER ESCAPE!" I growled out and the ground shook due to the force I asserted. The loud breaking sound of the newly acquired lion statue by my throne, echoed in the meeting hall. The guards were all on their knees, shivering in fright. They should. They should be scared 'cause they had caused me something important and had awaken the rage in me, ready to burn and consume everything on it path."How dare you let her slip away from your grasps? She is a weakling and you couldn't handle her?" I roared."My…my lord. She… I… I tried to…s-stop her. But she… was… wasn't weak," One of the guards covered in bandage for what I don't care for, shuttered with his head lowered, daring not to look at me. "She wasn't weak? Are you trying to say she fought against the chemical within a day and became strong?" I questioned, with amusement dancing in my voice. They all sounded stupid. The chemical was a strong one and she can't fight it off. Her getting strong sound
Damien's povI couldn't control myself. The way she stared at me and the emotions in her eyes, drew me to kiss her. I wanted to stop, but my emotions was stronger than the little warnings in my head. I kissed every part of her lips and surprisedly, she didn't push me away but kissed me back. I took my hand to her waist and she shuddered at my touch. I deepened the kiss and when we finally pulled away, we were both breathless. I looked at her and noticed the corners of her lips curled up into a warm smile.She wasn't angry or pissed off. "I care about you a lot, Elsa. I adore you. I want to be with you. I what to stay by your side as long as I can. I want to be yours," I confessed, letting out my feelings to her. She stared at me for a few seconds before she drew closer and rested her head on my chest."I adore you, I like you. I don't know the best words to use to tell you how I feel," she confessed and for a minute, it felt as if my heart stopped. I tightened my arm around her
Elsa's POV He shushed me and cover my mouth. He looked behind me, and watched the guards walk closer to the tree after hearing my voice. "Come out now, miss Luna of the crescent," The guard taunted, as he got closer.Suddenly, they heard the footsteps of a guard who had gone with the other group, distracting them momentarily. He rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily. "We've found her," he informed.The head of the guards drew his brows in confusion and looked towards the tree where he heard a female voice. "We captured her already," the informant added. The officer nodded and they all went ahead, going towards the place where they caught me, or rather, someone who looked like me. I let out a deep breath that I held in for long, in relieve of not getting caught. "Are you alright?" Damien asked, scrutinizing me from head to toe. "I should have come earlier. Sorry for wasting time and making you pass through all these."I stared at him for a few seconds, and relieve rushe
Elsa's POV I had no idea if it was night or day, which was a huge setback for me. I had to escape but my plan would only work at night. I took in a deep breath to inhale the substance Camille had given me, which I soaked a piece of material in and used it to cover my nose. No one suspected a thing. They all thought I was trying to cover my nose from the chemical they released again, and few of the guards laughed at me for trying to protect myself. They said covering my nose wouldn't stop me from getting weak. If only they knew…They all thought I was weak, as usual, but I was far from it. I had regained my strength and ready to attack. "Hey, I want to set out for a few minutes. I have been here all through the evening," one of the guards said to the other, who nodded.I watched him leave, while the other let out a deep breath and faced me. He stared at me for a few seconds before he clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You are a Luna. Such a disappointment to see you this weak
Damien's pov "We news to gey back as fast as we can. The days are running and Melinda might lose her life," Dennis reminded, walking ahead of me. Everything he said we're likes whispers, as I didn't pay attention to him. My mind was occupied with one person: Elsa.She's all alone. I had no idea if she was back or still locked up in Hector's clutch or worst still, if he killed her. I tightened my fist at the thought of it and clenched my jaw. I would never forgive myself if something bad happens to her. If only I didn't leave hesitatingly like that, I would have convinced he not to act rashly. She was probably worried and left on her own. I looked at Dennis with a frown plastered on my face. "You should have talked the Luna into not going on this mission," I said, and he stopped walking to face me. "You think I didn't? I did but she's stubborn. I already told you this," he answered, with his voice calm, but that wasn't enough. Elsa was out there in the hands of a dangerous man.
Elsa's POV I carefully tiptoed to the guard standing by the cell I was locked in. He held the key to the cell, tightly in his grip. I got closer and stretched my hand to carefully steal it, but he suddenly moved and faced me. "Nice try, my lady. Your powers won't even help you if you are to use it to get the key," he mocked and turned on the gas, which contained same substance as the powdery substance blew on us. I had no idea what it was, but I hated it. "No, please," I cried and coughed, slowly falling on my knees. Because I had an Alpha bloodline in me, it wasn't enough to kill me or put me to sleep easily. That was the reason why I was conscious even when Camille and the other werewolves fell to the floor. But there was one thing it does to me. It weakens me. Weaken me so much that I can't lift a finger. I fell to the floor and rested my back against the cell, feeling every strength in me slowly drawing out. I was like an empty shell just waiting to be blown away by the wind
