Relief flooded me when I noticed that we were nearing the Alpha house. I was beyond exhausted, since I had no idea how I could run that far on only three hours of sleep.
Niall woke up at five this morning, waking me too in the process since I found myself laying on top of him. I protested against the idea, but he insisted that we should leave before sunrise, since we were still very close to Rogue Burg, and I knew none of us were ready to be in another fight.
We ran back in wolf form, completely hungry, tired and clothes-less. In all honesty, I couldn't wait to get home.
Valero left once we were at the border of Niall's pack, but we didn't exchange any verbal departure words, since we don't have a link with him. I did, however, make a mental note to call him and thank him again later.
As we neared the house, Asia and Jared emerged from the entrance with worried looks on their faces. I could tell that they were mindlinking Niall, but I just kept quiet sinc
Three days had passed, and everything was going back to normal.Niall arranged a special section in the pack cemetery for headstones of my dad and Clarissa, so that I could visit them anytime I wanted to. I loved it.Even though I visited my mom's grave countless times back in Brightwater Pack, I never really had a talk with my dad like I had with her. Even though his physical body wouldn't be there, it was sweet, and I loved him even more for doing it for me.We were scheduling a pack meeting, where Niall will officially introduce me to his pack and make me a member.With everything that had been going on, we never got the chance to do it, but now we can since everything is settled. And even though almost every pack member already knew me, I still had to be officially introduced as Luna. I was more than happy and ready to be just that.This is all I need."Hey beautiful."I beamed at the very voice of the man I loved so much, and I t
~The Human Reference~I pulled away from her. The hurt in her eyes was evident after my actions, but it wasn't because of her, it was because of what she said."What?" I questioned out loud.Victoria told me she never knew her dad, and she only knew mom when she was an adult. She also said she didn't know anything about our dads. So I was just confused as to what she actually knows from what she doesn't know.This was big. This was a huge part of my questions from the moment I was old enough to understand that my dad was dead. Nobody ever cared to tell me how he died, so why now?"If you will just listen please," she pleaded softly, and I simply nodded as I settled beside her again. My heart raced in anticipation. Victoria's dad killed mine? For what? For mom maybe?The million of questions in my mind seemed endless as I waited for Victoria to start, and I could already feel myself getting a headache."Remember when I
I beamed at Niall as he watched me in disbelief. I knew I was a hard mate to keep up with. One minute I'm saying this, then the other I'm saying that.But Niall's features then softened, and he looked content with my words. "Really. You changed your mind?"I nodded. "I had an eye opener. Vic told me something about my dad, and I realised that the truth didn't hurt me like I thought it would. It actually made me feel better."He pecked my lips as he wrapped his arms around my waist tighter. I could see that this was a part of his plan. He knew Victoria was the only one who could've gotten through to me. And even though at first it annoyed me, I'm glad he did."Besides, she reminded me that whatever I find out, however hard it will be, I have a mate that will stick by me throughout it all.""That's what I've been trying to tell you," he pointed out with a small smirk. I quickly kissed the stupid smirk away from his face."I know. I know. But s
England.The land of Queens and perfect pinkies, also known as the country that I've come to love over all my years visiting.For some odd reason, I wasn't even surprised when Clarissa told me that my answers were here, simply because since I was a child and was coming here, I've always acknowledged how much like home it felt. And it wasn't about how hospitable the wolves here were. It was more of an inner peace that made me feel at home.What are the odds that ten years later, I'm here searching for answers that may lie in the very walls of Emerald Pack's Alpha house?Still, I should've known that my sense of belonging at Emerald Pack wasn't just because I liked it there. Even though at that time, my wolf wasn't awake in me as yet, she knew this was where our blood lies.If I was being honest, I was really eager yet anxious about what I'd learn. Will it be good? What if Vampires really do exist, and I'm part Vampire? Yuck. The thought alone gave m
This chapter and the following chapter are very important guys! We're finally learning about who Zoey really is! Yay.Happy reading and Enjoy!***The next day rolled around quite quickly, but to say I had a good night's sleep would be a lie. I could always sleep on my own growing up, even after my mom died. But I had gotten so used to sleeping with Niall, that I didn't even remember how to sleep alone.I knew I'd have a challenge sleeping without him. I learnt that from the day when he left. But it seemed like the extra distance away from him made it even worse. The minute I woke up twenty minutes ago, my phone was already ringing with a call from him. Turns out, he was even awake before me.We spoke a while, but then he had to leave to do some early work. Everyone here was still asleep. It was five thirty in the morning after all. I didn’t want to wake anyone, and I knew I couldn’t go back to bed. So,
Kavan? My dad's real name is Kavan Conley?If my dad was the first born of a descendant of the very first Beta wolf, then why on earth was a rogue in the first place? Wasn't he supposed to be here? Being Beta of the Emerald Pack?"It makes so much sense now!" He practically screamed. "Since the very first time I saw you when you were six, there was something about you that I just couldn't understand. The more you grew and the more you came to Emerald Pack, I knew it! I just knew you were my blood!"I shook my head as I jumped from the seat. "So let me get this straight. My dad, who I know as Reagan, is actually Kavan and is your older brother?""Yes""When was the last time you saw him?""Years ago. After his mate died, he lost it and ran away from home" Edward sighed, but something about that didn't add up."My dad didn't run away from home." I stated firmly.I didn't know my dad, but I knew he wouldn't run away from his respo
"I knew it!""Incoming..." I squealed as I braced for impact as Jody launched herself at me. I had to gasp for air as she squeezed the life from me."I knew you were a Conley! I just knew it!" She beamed as she pulled away to gaze at me.The smile that lit her face had me so excited. I was as happy as her to know that we were related. If only we could've been sisters. But cousins were close enough."It's Boysen and always will be. But I am proud to be a part of this family" I admitted. I knew I'd never disregard my birth-name. I didn't want to. If my dad saw that he needed to take that name, then I wont change it. I'm his daughter after all.All the questions were still hanging over my head about what happened to him, and I really really wanted to learn what it was because I wanted to go home. I missed my mate too much. I called him again and filled him in about what I learnt. I couldn't wait until I was home to tell him more.As expected, h
"This is Kavan Conley. I was the rightful heir of the Beta position at Emerald Pack, but my younger brother stole it from me. No one believed me when I tried to tell the truth, they thought I was crazy. Maybe my running away will confirm their beliefs even more. But you, whoever you are, the fact that you found this letter meant you were supposed to. I need you to set it straight. Even if it's generations later, I ask this of you: Tell my story, bring truth to the wolves of Emerald Pack, even if they don't know me. Because that will bring justice for my Julia."I took a deep breath as I glanced over the words scribbled on the paper for the hundredth time, before I lifted my head to the wolves of Emerald Pack who were looking at me expectantly.I was finally able to do it. I finally learnt everything about myself, my bloodline and my dad. Even though the man who clarified most of my heritage turned out to be a back-stabbing, power hungry murderer, it was good to know ev
Song for final chapter:Love Someone by Lukas Graham***The day had finally come. I was finally home and being introduced to Niall's Pack officially. I'd finally become the Luna I was always destined to be, and lead with my mate.After everything was settled in England, I promised not to be a stranger, but I knew I had to return home. The minute we were home, Niall and I started getting ready for the Pack meeting. It wasn’t just me who was being introduced, but our new Beta as well, Asia's mate.It was a very exciting day, and though I'll surely miss my link with Brightwater Pack, I was more than happy that I'd finally be free to live happily with Niall, now that everything was out and had been resolved.My heart felt like it was soaring on the clouds on its way to a bright future, and I couldn’t wait to see what that future was."All ready?" a voice from the door called, and I immediately smiled up at Ni
