I plastered a smile on my face after the handshake. I need to fake a smile so he won't notice that I am feeling uncomfortable right now.
"Since you are not from this place, Luna, I would be happy if I could tour you around here," he invited me as he look behind me.
I saw his expression change the moment he glanced at my back and turned to his watch.
"I think I need to go. I still need to finish some errands. Maybe, we will see each other soon Luna. Take care." He said as he waved goodbye.
He is mysterious but I think it was just normal. He is a stranger in the first place.
I was about to walk when I felt a hand on my arm. I almost scream as I turned to see Hector behind me.
"What the hell Hector!" I yelled at him.
"I've been looking for you. I thought someone took you away." he sounds so worried.
"Well, Hector, I just tried to enjoy walking on the street while you are having fun with that girl Clarisse in the ho

LUNA POVAfter one hour and the 20-minutes trip from Astoria, we finally arrived at St. Helen's town. The place gives a sparse suburban feel and most houses are beautiful. We passed by some bars, coffee shops, and parks. I remember this place. This was the place Elli mentioned before. She told me that this place celebrates Halloween for the entire month of October. I planned to go with her before but I wasn't able to do that because my brother don't want me to.I've been crying the whole time while going here. My heart is in pain after Hector told me that we would go to a funeral. We will attend Matilda's funeral. Stefan called Hector and said that after fighting in the hospital for days, Matilda's body finally gave up. She sustained four gunshot wounds on her body that cost a lot of her blood. Hector's men came into the mansion to see Matilda on the floor bath in her blood. They rushed her to the hospital but in the end, she still died."Luna, we are almost the

LUNA POVYes, I heard it right. I will meet Hector's father tomorrow night. This is the moment that I've been waiting for. I will discover the reason for all of these. Why I am here? Why werewolves would want to have me?After a few minutes, we finished the dinner and went to our rooms. I took a deep breath after a long crazy day. My body felt tired and my eyes still ache after hours of crying. I went to the bed and start to lay down. The bed was very comfortable. I turned to look at the other side of the bed. It was just last night when I slept in bed with Hector. Early this morning, I saw her with another woman and it pissed me. I went for a walk in the street to see Elli from a distance and bumped into a strange man.One thing I can't forget about this day is how Hector pleasured me. Goodness, I can't believe I let him do that to me.I tried to sleep after all the stress I had today. As usual, I am having difficulty sleeping. I approached the window to

LUNA POVMy eyes were still puffy when I woke up today. I've been crying a lot yesterday after Matilda's funeral, plus I slept late last night.After that short conversation with Lucas last night, Hector came to my room. He told me that he smelled the wolf of the Alpha enemy. I just told him that I thought I saw a werewolf in the woods last night while I am standing at the window but it left when it saw me. I've never told him about Lucas. I can't trust Hector now and I can't trust Lucas too.We had a sumptuous breakfast today. Francis and Stefan prepared the food for us."Thank you for this breakfast. I need to go. Dad wants me to take care of his business today so I need to meet with some of the investors this afternoon," Jasmine said."Alright," Hector responded without leaving his food."No need to drive for me Hector, our family driver is already outside to drive me home. I love you. Thank you for last night," as she gave Hector a peck

LUNA POVHector told me that Simon King his father was waiting for us in the sand and stone garden.As we got closer, I could see an abstracted scene of the Japanese landscape, with mountains represented by upright boulders and an expanse of coarse white sand. I can see a man standing facing the moon. I know it was him, Simon king.I am starting to be scared as hell, I can feel the danger that was about to happen tonight.I remember Lucas, he told me that Hector's family is the real enemy and I need to protect myself tonight."Luna, don't worry. My father will help you. Trust me." Hector spoke beside me."Hector, I am scared," I said softly."Don't be afraid Luna, we are here to help you," he said.As we approached the Sand and stone garden, his father sensed that we arrived.He turned with a smile on his face. I can see he was in his late 50s. The light of the moon helped me see that his hair started to turn grey but he

HECTOR POV The main gate closes but I can still see Luna and my father through the iron bars. I saw five werewolves guarding the main gate. They were not here when we arrived. I turned to look at my brothers who were standing in the corner. They are talking. I know my half-brothers hated me so much, that they even tried to kill me many times. The werewolves guarding the main gate were on high alert. I can see it in their expressions. This ceremony should be a peaceful one, but the werewolves act as if they are going into a war. My wolf howled inside me, trying to convince me to get Luna out from here. Maybe, my wolf sensed her fear. I tried to scan the place, everything came into a view as the moon shines in the sky. I hear Francis and Stefan coming. "What the hell Hector, how could you?" Stefan spoke to me with an angry look. "What do you mean Stefan?" I asked in confusion. I don't have any idea why both of my friends

LUNA POV I saw how Hector disappeared as he walked away. The main gate closed and I was left with Hector’s father in this garden. Hector’s confused look puzzled me. I wonder what was in his mind. I tried to gather myself as I wiped the tears from my eyes. I need to be strong for myself. Hector was gone, I was left to defend myself from what might happen tonight. His mission was done and he doesn’t have a reason to return for me. I look at Simon King, who is scanning my face. This is the right time to talk to this man. I need to know the reason for all of these. I tried to clear my throat. "What do you need from me?" I asked him. "You are very special, didn't your parents tell you before?" I saw him smirk. "Of course, I am special. They always told me that because I am their daughter," I responded with confidence. "I've been waiting for you, Luna. You will complete my plans. You will help me succeed." he said. "What are

LUNA POVI can feel the warmth and softness of the bed. It feels like heaven. The smell was a mix of floral and sweet scents. I am loving this place. I felt a warm hand tracing my cheeks and it calms me.A flash of memory suddenly hits me, I can remember the monstrous face of Simon King and how he tried to kill me last night. Lucas arrived and saved me from that fuckin' ceremony. I remember Lucas, he was the last person I saw when I passed out in the woods.I immediately opened my eyes to see an unfamiliar room. I felt someone behind me in the bed. I turned around to meet with his emerald green eyes. He was looking at me like a predator would at his prey. I swallowed hard as he moved closer. I wonder how long he has been in bed with me. Don't tell me he was here the whole time I'm asleep?"Lucas," I uttered his name."Luna, I am so happy you're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked."I am a little fine now. How long I've been sleeping?" I asked him as I tried to sit."You're asleep fo

LUNA POV"Help! Help!" I tried to shout hoping someone would come to save me."Don't force yourself, Luna. You are at my house, remember? No one will come to save you." he said as he turned my body to face him. He positioned himself in between my thighs. I felt his hardness in between me. I see him not as a savior who saved my life but as a manipulative and scary monster."Please, Lucas I beg you. Please don't," as I kept on crying."Don't worry love, I will be gentle," he smirked.He took off his boxers shorts and displayed his hardness in front of me. I don't love him and I don't want to give myself to him. I want to fight but I am so weak right now.He was about to take off the last cloth that covered my womanhood when I heard a loud knock on the door.Someone was outside of the room. Lucas reached for a towel and went to the door to ask who the person was."Yes, what do you need?" he asked."Alpha, it's me, Earl. You need to come, we have an emergency." the man outside the room sa

LUNA POV I heard noises from downstairs. I feel sleepy at this time. I squint my eyes, the sunlight from my window was blinding me. I pulled my body to get up when the door burst open and Sam came in. He was panting and full of sweat. "Mom, please come with me. It's about Ara and Aya," Sam told me. "What about them?" Sam was my firstborn. He was nine years old now. Just like his father, he was a responsible man. He has pure alpha blood, I know he will be a good alpha of our pack in the future. We both ran downstairs to find my twin girls fighting each other. We pulled them apart. They are like this every day, there could be no moment that they are not fighting. This is a big challenge for me and Hector. It was a headache how to control our twins. Aya was crying now, and Aya just stood in front of us while her arms crossed. She was staring at us with an angry look. "Girls, what happened?" I looked at both of them. "Aya touched my teddy bear, mommy. You know that this is only min

HECTOR POV The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky today. Four months after that war, this was the first time I appreciated the beauty of the sky. They said that if you missed someone you love who has passed away, you just need to look up in the sky. They were for sure watching us from heaven. I took a deep breath. Death was inevitable. I look at the tomb in front of me. I place the flowers I brought for her and lit a candle too. I often visit her tomb whenever I missed her. How I wish she was here beside me. I want her to be proud of me. She was the first woman to believe in my capabilities. I will forever treasure and love her. "Mom, wherever you are, I hope you are happy now," I muttered. My mom's tomb was Matilda's tomb. I treated both of them as my mother. I mourned their death. But I can't do anything to bring their life back even though I really want to. My phone rang, it was Stefan. I smiled, he was excited since yesterday. Today is Jasmine's birthday. There's a

I can feel it.I passed behind some tents just to make sure that the rogues would not see me. I tried to move quickly when I felt a hand grabbing my arm. I turned to see Emmanuel King. Hector's uncle. I didn't expect to see him."Mr. King, ahm... you're here," I told him."Yes, Luna. And you need to come with me," there was an urgency in his voice."Is there something wrong?" I can see how worried he is. But I felt an unfamiliar feeling. I think my instinct was trying to tell me something."Hector is in danger. He needs your blood. He was fighting Lucas and got wounded by a silver. He needs you, Luna. Come with me," he pulled me.I didn't protest, I just run with him. If it is about Hector, then I don't have time to think anymore. I need to get to him and help my mate.Mr. King showed me a way outside the camp. This pa

HECTOR POVNo words can explain the happiness I felt today to see my mate again. She was as beautiful as before. I was furious earlier, I even want to hurt Enrico when I knew that Luna was with them. He said, they saved her and gave her shelter. She revealed the power of her blood and volunteered to provide some of her blood to form the vaccine.I don't want to listen to their explanation, I just want to see her and hug her again. I want her in my arms again.I rushed to her tent, and there I saw her angelic face once again. She was stunned to see me. I know she didn't expect to see me.We enjoyed the moment when Stefan came and informed us about the enemies. As expected, they will betray us. They will not follow what was agreed. We expected this attack, which is why, two days ago, we placed traps around the camp to include some bombs.I am running towards them, I heard the explosion of bombs and a large number of howls. Lucas was able to recruit hundreds of rogues from different part

Thank God, I was fast.I put on my clothes and my red hood before I came back to the camp.There was a commotion but I didn't dare to check. Hector might be there and I don't want him to see me.I went to our tent. No one was there, maybe the girls were outside for their training. I sat down on one side, I need to rest for a while. It still hurts me to see Hector with his wife. I saw how Jasmine approached Hector after his announcement. Jasmine shared a worried look and I can see he cares for Hector.Maybe Hector learned to fall in love with her. If Jasmine didn't have the miscarriage, maybe they have a happy family now, with Hector's son or daughter.My eyes started to blur as tears formed in my eyes. I am here to help my pack to fight Lucas. I am not expecting our love story to have a continuation. Everything between us has ended and I need to accept that.I hea

We need to be strong."I scanned the crowd. There were new faces around me."The war will be two days from now. We need to prepare. Our lives will be at risk, but we need to do this for the future generation. We need to free all packs from the evil pack that wants to take control."Everyone is listening to me. Until my eyes caught a girl from a distance. She's wearing a red hood. I can't see her face.
