--Alyssa--

"We will be going to the Pack’s orphanage," she said to me, making me shocked.

How does this Pack have an orphanage? Did the parents not want them?

"How do you have an orphanage?" I asked, a little shocked because from the structure of the place everyone seemed to be living well.

"Some of the children are orphans because their parents have died, and others were abandoned at the Pack’s border," she explained to me, making me nod.

How could anyone abandon a child at the Pack's border? Why was I complaining when I was left in a forest? At least the Pack's border was better than what I went through; an animal could have killed me, or a rogue.

"But I was not allowed to go out," I said to her.

"The Alpha King said we should go along with you so that you do not feel bored," she said, making me happy he had changed his mind.

Quickly, I entered the closet, taking out a simple pair of jeans and a top, but it did not look simple no matter how I tried to change the tops.

    --Alyssa--We were currently at the orphanage, and I didn't know what to expect. As we got out of the car, I took in the surroundings. The building was more like a house, albeit on a much larger piece of land than typical homes. Atop the house, a sign read "Home" in bold letters. That was what they had written on it. Meridith was the one leading the way.“She rang the bell, and a woman emerged from inside to open the door. Once I came into view, she bowed to me. Since I had mated with Xavier, everyone was going to find out that I was the Luna. One could practically smell him on me.“Welcome,” she said, smiling at Meridith. It seemed like Meridith was a regular visitor.“Come in, they are expecting you,” she said, and I quietly followed Meridith as the guards brought in the toys she had bought for the children. Meridith had promised them toys on her next visit, and she was determined to fulfill that promise. This was my first time at an orphanage, and I was filled with a mixture of cur

    --Alyssa--She held my hand, her small fingers curling around mine with surprising firmness. Anastasia, a precocious three-year-old, seemed fascinated by my nails, studying them with a keen interest. She had a natural curiosity that hinted at an early love for fashion. Every so often, she tugged at my hand, wanting me to pick her up so she could get a closer look at my hair and nails. It was quite smart of her for such a young age, showing an awareness and curiosity beyond her years.As we finished sharing gifts, the play ground filled with the joyful noise of children happily playing with their new toys. I couldn't help but think back to my own childhood. If I had been sent to an orphanage when I was younger, would this have been my experience? Would I have found joy in simple things, despite the hardships? Growing up without a loving support system had been difficult, and I fervently hoped that these children would find their forever homes. That was my deepest wish for them.Refl

    --Alyssa--Waking up in bed, I noticed Xavier was not there again. Yesterday, he had made it clear that I shouldn't avoid him, stating firmly that he wasn't interested in playing any games with me. His straightforwardness left no room for misinterpretation, and I was deeply embarrassed by the bluntness of his words.The girls had bailed out on me the previous night. They all said they were heading home, and Meredith and Loveth mentioned they were using the SUV to get there. This left me with no choice but to ride back with Xavier. The car ride was silent and awkward, and that was when he had confronted me about avoiding him.I still couldn’t look him straight in the eyes. Every time I tried, the memory of our conversation would replay in my mind, making me feel self-conscious and flustered. I couldn’t shake the feeling of embarrassment, and it seemed to linger like a dark cloud over me.The day ahead seemed destined to be another boring one. I planned to visit the library later to see

    --Alyssa--I was deeply engrossed in the book I had found. It was believed that the white wolves were the first of their kind to come into existence, blessed with extraordinary powers. They had the ability to heal, control the earth and everything within it, and even communicate directly with the moon goddess. These gifts made them revered but also envied, and eventually, the other wolves' jealousy led to a devastating purge aimed at eliminating the white wolves entirely.As I read, I discovered a stark contrast between what Lily had told me and what the book revealed. According to the text, there was no mention of a king and queen giving birth to a child. It made me wonder if perhaps my parents had been white wolves. The book stated explicitly that only a white wolf could give birth to another white wolf. This revelation sent my thoughts spiraling as I considered the possibility that I belonged to a lineage I knew nothing about.The white wolves were rarely spoken of, their existence

    --Alyssa--"All this was supposed to be ruled by the king and queen," Xavier mused, gesturing towards the majestic structure ahead of us. His expression carried a mixture of reverence and sorrow, as if contemplating a lost era of unity and respect that had been shattered by greed and fear.I nodded in agreement, absorbing his somber reflection on what could have been—a harmonious coexistence between our ancestors and the white wolves. "Even the fact that they allowed us into their land without retaliation, out of goodwill, speaks volumes about their character," Xavier added, his voice tinged with admiration for the ancient rulers of our world."Why are you asking all this?" Xavier finally turned his gaze to me, his eyes curious yet guarded, focused on the book I held tightly in my hand."I went to the library to find something to read, and I stumbled upon this book," I explained, holding up the weathered tome. "It's a story I've never heard before, and it sparked my curiosity.""They

    --Alyssa--I made a drastic decision to be able to continue my quest for knowledge and security. During the four days of my search, I realized that I was supposed to be under protection, and at that moment, Xavier was my security detail. If anyone were to discover my true identity, I would be killed due to the prejudices they held against my people.To ensure my survival, I had to embrace the role of their Luna, as no one would dare harm the Luna. Moreover, they would never suspect that their Luna could be a white wolf, a rarity among our kind.So here I was, fitting my dress for the Luna introduction ceremony. Xavier had been ecstatic when he saw that I genuinely wanted to be Luna and that I wasn't being coerced into the role. His happiness was palpable, and it gave me a sense of reassurance and comfort amidst the chaos that had enveloped my life.Nathaniel had returned, accompanied by his wife and children. Despite their presence, I hadn't yet had a proper conversation with his wife

    --Alyssa--As I looked around at the designs and preparations, I couldn't help but feel amazed. The ballroom had been transformed into a breathtaking display of elegance and sophistication. The decorations were exquisite, with floral arrangements adorning every corner and twinkling lights casting a soft glow over the room. It was a scene straight out of a fairytale, and I couldn't wait for the event to unfold.After finalizing our preparations, we retreated to our rooms to rest and gather our thoughts. I found myself in the library, hoping to distract myself with a good book. However, my mind kept wandering back to unanswered questions and lingering mysteries, especially regarding the white wolf. The book I picked up didn't hold any revelations, leaving me yearning for answers. I needed Grandma to come and shed light on these mysteries. I couldn't continue to be in the dark forever; I needed knowledge to protect myself.Reflecting on Grandma's actions, I realized she had always acted

    --Alyssa--And then I saw her — grandma, sitting serenely amidst the guests, her presence a beacon of familiarity and warmth in the midst of the formal proceedings. It was an unexpected joy to see her here, at this pivotal moment in my life. Memories flooded my mind, of days spent in her kitchen, of stories whispered at bedtime, of the wisdom imparted through her gentle words.Lily, stood beside her, a reassuring smile gracing her lips as she offered grandma a drink. Unable to contain my elation, I felt happiness bubble up within me, threatening to spill over. Grandma had come, defying expectations and making her presence known. Her eyes met mine, and in that brief exchange, I saw love and pride reflected back at me. I knew she had missed me as much as I had missed her.But decorum dictated that I remain where I was, amidst the gathered assembly.

    --Alyssa--Meridith couldn’t stop smiling as she leaned closer to get a better look at the twins nestled in my arms. “Pups? They are so cute and look just like Xavier,” she cooed, her eyes sparkling with affection.Xavier, however, was lost in thought, his gaze fixed on our babies with an intensity that made me chuckle. He seemed entirely absorbed, as if the world outside didn’t exist. Seeing him so captivated by the sight of our children softened my heart, but I couldn’t shake the nagging guilt that lingered beneath the surface.Everyone in the room seemed unbothered by the events outside, as if the weight of what was happening hadn’t reached them. They were caught up in the joy of the moment, admiring the twins, and it made me feel strangely out of place. I was here, surrounded by warmth and family, while others were grieving just beyond the palace walls. The contrast was hard to ignore, and I knew I had to act soon.“Can we break the curse now?” I asked, my voice cutting through th

    “Xavier!” Meridith called out to me, her voice cutting through the quiet murmur of the room. “When is Alyssa coming?” she asked, making everyone turn their attention toward me, waiting expectantly for an answer.“Soon,” I replied, though their faces showed clear disappointment. I knew they missed her, and so did I, but for her safety, I couldn’t do anything reckless. The weight of their expectation hung in the air, but my priority was always her protection.But something gnawed at me. Why would Nathaniel—who always kept me informed of his whereabouts—suddenly go off on an errand without telling me? It wasn’t like him. He always let me know where he was, and this sudden disappearance made me unease.Aurelia’s POVThere was a knock on the door, causing all of us to freeze. Nobody ever knocked on our door, not unexpectedly like this."Did Xavier tell you he was coming?" Mom asked, her eyes filled with concern. I shook my head, feeling a pit form in my stomach. We were supposed to leave

    I could hardly believe what was happening. Most of the Alphas had been killed—just in one night—which sent panic rippling throughout the Kingdom. This was not how I envisioned welcoming my mate and pups home. The atmosphere was thick with tension and fear; I knew that those who had plotted against Alyssa and my innocent children were receiving their just desserts.“Have you heard? The Alpha of St. Lucas was reported dead just now,” Nathaniel said, his expression grave. My heart sank as the weight of his words settled in. This was more serious than we had initially thought.“So what are their families doing about it?” I asked, my voice strained with uncertainty. I was in no position to intervene after everything they had done to me.“They are calling for your help,” he replied, a hint of mischief playing on his lips.“Now they want my help when just a few days ago they wanted to kill me?” I laughed, incredulous at their desperation. This was surely the work of the Moon Goddess, a twist

    I strode straight into my room, Nathaniel still at my heels, his excitement palpable. I approached my phone, heart racing as I prepared to dial the number I had yearned to call every night and day.Taking a deep breath, I punched in the digits, my fingers trembling slightly with anticipation.“Hello?” I heard my mate’s voice on the other end, and a wave of relief washed over me.“Alyssa,” I breathed, the sound of her name sending a rush of warmth through my veins. “It’s me.”There was a moment of silence before she responded, her tone a mixture of surprise and joy. “Xavier! I can’t believe it’s really you!”Hearing her voice brought back the memories of our moments together—the laughter, the love, the dreams we shared for our future. I closed my eyes, allowing the sound of her voice to wash over me like a soothing balm.“I’ve missed you every day,” I confessed, my heart aching with longing. “I finally stood up to the council. They tried to break me, but they can’t control what I’ve bu

    I entered the room, and the atmosphere shifted. As usual, all the Alphas were present, their expressions a mix of curiosity and disdain. I didn’t bother to greet them; instead, I took my seat with an air of defiance, determined to remain unyielding in the face of their scrutiny.“Xavier Black of the Blood Moon Pack, do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?” Elder Simon asked, his voice authoritative yet tinged with a hint of amusement. I knew he had always been fond of me, and it seemed that sentiment hadn’t waned, even in the face of this farce.“I swear to tell nothing but the truth,” I replied, my tone steady.Before Elder Simon could continue, Elder Samuel shot up from his seat, interrupting the proceedings. I rolled my eyes in exasperation; he always seemed to have a knack for stealing the spotlight from Simon, making it difficult for the process to flow smoothly.“Do you still not know the whereabouts of your mate?” he inquired, his tone sharp.“I passed the tes

    --XAVIER POV--It had been two whole months since Aurelia left, and every single day, I felt the urge to break own, to cry, but I knew I couldn’t afford to lose my composure. I had to stay strong, to remain calm if I was going to survive this manipulative game the Alphas were playing. Aurelia had slipped away quietly before anyone noticed. By the time the council arrived, she was already gone, leaving me to face their barrage of questions. I was questioned endlessly, but thanks to the bond with my wolf, I was able to lie convincingly.They didn’t believe me—why would they? But they had no proof, and more importantly, no right to treat me like a prisoner. I had played my part well, and it baffled me how foolish they were to think I would simply tell them the truth. The bond with one’s wolf was sacred in the werewolf realm, and by the decree of the Moongoddess, a wolf could never lie. But mine did. Somehow, I managed to deceive them, and it worked.I couldn’t help but wonder if the Moo

    Tears blurred my vision as I glanced at Mom, who stood beside me, her own eyes filled with emotion. She had been so strong throughout it all, but now, seeing her grandchild, her tears flowed freely. Grandma was nearby too, her hands clasped together, a proud smile lighting up her face. The room was filled with so much love, so much joy.But just as I began to think it was over, a sudden, sharp pain shot through me, taking my breath away. I gasped, my body tensing as fear gripped me once more. “Something’s wrong!” I cried out, panic creeping into my voice.The midwife, who had been carefully watching over me, quickly moved to check. Her expression remained calm, and after a moment, she looked up at me with a reassuring smile. “No, Alyssa, nothing’s wrong. You’re having another baby.”Another baby. The words took a moment to register in my exhausted mind. Another baby? My heart raced as the realization dawned on me. Twins. I was having twins.The pain came back in waves, and I gripped t

    It had been an entire month since I last heard from Xavier, and the worry gnawed at me constantly. Every day, I cried myself to sleep, the emptiness in my heart growing with each passing hour. I couldn’t help but think about him, about where he was and what he might be going through. But there was one thing that kept me going—the certainty that he was still alive. If he weren’t, I would have felt it deep inside me. That was the one thing mates shared, a connection that transcended distance and time. It was that bond that reassured me, even in the darkest moments, that Xavier was out there somewhere, fighting to return to us.Yet, despite that fragile hope, I was falling apart. In Grandma and Mom’s words, I looked terrible. My skin had paled, and the bags under my eyes were dark and heavy from countless sleepless nights. My clothes barely fit, and I’d stopped caring about my appearance long ago. The weight of uncertainty was crushing.As much as I tried to stay positive, the constant

    --Alyssa--We were watching a movie, a popular request from Grandma, but my mind kept wandering back to Mom and what could have possibly happened. I couldn't shake the worry that gnawed at the edges of my thoughts, despite trying to focus on the screen in front of me. Something didn’t feel right, and I could tell that both Grandma and I were distracted.“There’s a knock, Grandma,” I said softly, even though it had been faint. My ears had picked it up nonetheless. Grandma didn't seem to notice at first, but then came another knock, louder this time, clear enough to be undeniable.“I’ll check it,” she said, motioning for me to stay seated. She rose slowly from her chair and made her way to the door, her steps deliberate, as if she, too, felt a shift in the air.A moment later, I heard her say, “Elizabeth.”The sound of that name startled me to my feet before my brain could even register what was happening.
