LUNA POV
I could hardly open my eyes. I tried to open my heavy eyelids and focus on my surroundings. It took me a minute to register what had happened. I remember I was in the bathroom when I heard a voice speaking in my mind. There was an eerie sound, and my head ached so badly. Hector came in and he saw me naked. My face flushed red. I want to hide forever.
I tried to push myself up. I saw the window open, it was pitch black outside, but the moonlight helped me make a thick wall of pine trees.
"You need to rest," I almost yelp when I heard someone from the corner of the room.
Hector turned on the light next to him. He was sitting on a couch looking straight at me. How long has he been there?
"Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"Yes, a little better now." I was so shy to look at him.
"Hector, why am I here?" The anger and sadness I felt were overbearing and I just wanted to go home.
I felt a hot liquid flowing from my face as
LUNA POVAs I took a deep breath, I watched how to sun came down the horizon. It was blazing with fabulous colors but producing no warmth. It was the last gasp of beauty before night.I remembered when I was a child, Dad brought us to a seashore to witness the sunset. Tristan and I would love to play on the sand while watching the sun turns orange sometimes crimson red. I miss Dad and Tristan so much. At that time I just wanted to stop the time and capture those beautiful moments. Maybe I don't know the meaning of enjoyment but I think for me seeing this sunset is the real sense of enjoyment.Right now, I want to go home. I want to see our house and Peebee my cat. I want to call Mr. Miller to ask if he found Elli. But how can I possibly do that? I don't know where I am. I don't even know how to escape from here. I remember how furious the werewolves who attacked us last time were. I am just a human with no powers and strength to fight them or even protect myself
LUNA POVI am standing in a dark hall with my body shivering in the cold from the freezing wind coming from the window. I tried to walk to find someone until I saw a room with an open door. As I entered the room, I felt bloodcurdling in my whole body. There I saw a coffin surrounded by flowers and candles. There was no one inside the room. My hands started to tremble and suddenly, my eyes went wide as I saw myself lying dead in the coffin.I opened my eyes to realize that it was just another dream. I looked around and realized that it was already dark outside.The room was big and spacious. I am no longer in my bedroom. It took me a few minutes to register that I was not in my room but Hector's room.I immediately scan my body, thank god I am still wearing my clothes.I don't trust Hector after I saw him fucking a woman in this room.So why did he bring me here? My eyes rolled as I realized that he might have a bad intention. I hug myself tr
LUNA POVThe sun is as hot as a burning fire today. Matilda invited me to help her pick some flowers in the garden. My body still aches a little after what happened in the woods yesterday. Thanks to Matilda, her cream was effective. My wounds are getting better now.From a distance, I saw Stefan, Francis, and Hector talking. I wonder what they are talking about as they all wear a serious look this morning. I remember last night how Hector slept on the couch since I am in his bed the whole night. He asked if I would invite him to sleep with me in the bed. He was teasing me. Instead, of answering him last night, I just made myself comfortable in bed and slept. Well, if he only knew how interested I am to sleep with him in the bed. But he was the king of all womanizers, I will never fall for him. Never in this life."The flowers are beautiful Matilda. Did you plant all these?" I inquired."Not me Luna. It was Hector's mom. Ysabelle loves this garden so much.
LUNA POV He was stunned by my question. Maybe, there is nothing wrong if I asked him if he likes me. I felt ashamed of myself after I uttered the question. I saw his jaw clenched and he sat straight. He holds his forehead as if I created a problem for him to solve. He cleared his throat and looked straight at me. "No," he said softly. I was so disgusted by myself. I felt humiliated and I wanted to run away from him. I don't know what to say. I am an idiot for asking a man if he likes me. I know this man could never love and like a woman like me. I am nothing to him but just a woman he needs to take care of. He was about to say something when suddenly Matilda interrupted. "Hector, your fiance' is here," pointing to a woman who had just come. I turned around to see a very beautiful woman in a red dress. Her hair is long and curly. Her physical appearance was molded by cosmetics. The jewelry she was wearing was captivating. I tried to scan her gorgeous f
LUNA POV As our lips touched, I could feel the softness of his lips. I felt the butterflies in my stomach cheering. How I wished this would never end. As his lips moved away, I wanted to hold him back and kiss his sweets lips one more time. I can see his eyes full of desire. "Rest now, I think you drank a lot," he told me as he slowly approached the door and left. That was it, he just kissed me again for no reason and after everything, he will just walk away and leave me with no words. I tried to compose myself and made myself comfortable in bed. My head started to ache. How I wish I could be like Elli, able to drink wine and beer as much as she could. I started to miss my best friend. How I wish she is safe right now. I don't remember anymore the time I slept. I tried to open my eyes and looked around to see if Hector came back. As expected, he wasn't here. Maybe he didn't come back anymore after that kiss. Well, I enjoyed that kiss.
LUNA POVI felt my body shaking in fear and cold as the downpour starts. What now? Is this how my life would end? I looked around to see a stick and reached for it. I pointed it to the werewolf as a warning not to go near me. I am truly the queen of all idiots for using a stick as a weapon. Luna, remember, this is not a street dog that you can shoo away but a werewolf. I whispered in my mind.As the werewolf stepped closer, I tried to move backward. Even if it was raining, I could still hear the sound of the twigs as I stepped on them. If this is a nightmare, I want to wake up right now.As I started to tremble in fear, three other werewolves emerged from the woods. My heart began to cheer as I recognized Hector's wolf together with Stefan and Francis' wolves. The black wolf turned around as the three wolves surrounded him.I can sense that they are talking to each other as they stare at each other in the eyes. The big wolf attacked first, aiming for Hect
LUNA POVI felt the warm blanket wrapped around my body, I tried to open my eyes and saw a glimpse of light that greeted me through the opening of this cave. The light hurts my eyes making it difficult for me to see my surroundings casting the shadows."Hector! Hector!" I called his name but I got no response."Where could he be?" I asked myself.I remember last night, how he took care of me. It means a lot to me. From being my kidnapper maybe, to being my savior. Riding on his back feels so good and the way he hugged me last night was like heaven. I felt comfortable in his arms. I think, I even dreamt of him last night saying "I love you to me". Well, that was a nice dream, how I wish that could be real. I felt my face flush red.I tried to get up, but my body still aches after that fever last night. But I feel a little better now. I reached for my clothes to dress up. I can't believe it, I've been naked the whole night with the only blanket
LUNA POVI am in Hector's car now. I got the chance to sleep for more than two hours since we arrived in that hotel this morning. Hector woke me up to join him for lunch. We ate some kinds of seafood and the taste was amazing.Looking from the outside, I am enjoying the beauty of this place. Hector told me that we were in Astoria. The seaside town of Astoria borders both the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River in far northwest Oregon. I can see the antique streets with several visitor magnets, like restaurants and boutiques. We also passed by the Captain George Flavel House Museum and the Oregon Film Museum. I've never been to this place before. Hector stopped the car. As I went out of the car, I was amazed at the beauty of this place. From where I am standing, I can see other houses and small buildings in this town. I also saw a perfect view of the ocean. It was blue and sparkled like crystals."This place is beautiful Hector. What's this place called?" I aske
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
HECTOR POVI started to feel weak. The poison is killing me. I lost so much blood. Even in pain, all I can think is my mate. I need to make sure that she was alright. Lucas was able to imprint wounds in all other alphas, including Enrico.Horror filled my senses when I saw my uncle Emmanuel dragging my mate. She was just human and helpless. She can't do anything, I need to save her. But the pain is tormenting my body. I can't even stand or move.My chest tightened. I can't believe my uncle just betrayed me. He worked for Lucas, he was the one the bastard was referring to. I thought my uncle was on my side. Why did he do this?Luna looked at me. I could see how worried she was. If only I could run towards her to calm her down.I hate the way Lucas was looking at my mate. I want to pull out his eyes.My uncle pulled Luna towards Lucas. I felt anger rise within me. This is a painful betrayal.My hands balled into fists as I saw Lucas trying to get closer to my mate, so much closer elimin
LUNA POV I need to find him. Hector, I’m coming. I tried to avoid the rogues and the fighting around me. I need to leave the camp and find him. I know, he's in danger. 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
LUNA POVI was panting after that run. I didn't expect Hector would also be there in the woods. I thought he would see me. 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
HECTOR POVIt is so great to see a big number of werewolves from the different packs uniting as one. These brave packs will fight with us against the Madfur pack and their allied rogues."We need to work together. To defeat Lucas and his armies is not that easy. We need to be smart. 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. I can't understand why I felt something within me when my eyes landed on her.People cheered and I looked around again. My eyes went back in that direction but she was gone.I tried to compose myself as I smiled at the people around me. They are all eager to fight in this war.I turned to look at Stefan."Ste
LUNA POVSeven months after the last attack on our village, the rogues never came back. My father assured us that they will dispose of the dead bodies and clear all traces so other rogues would not find us.My dad sent some informants to check what was happening in other packs. Lucas continued attacking packs, killing werewolves to include the innocents. The blacktooth Guardians pack, Hector's pack was the one leading all other packs to fight the Madfur pack. Lucas managed to make his armies stronger by recruiting all other rogues to join forces with him.That bastard will never stop until he will conquer all the lands. He is an ambitious person.I am packing things now. We agreed to join forces with the Blacktooth Guardians pack to fight in a war against the Madfur pack. I need to do this to help my pack and to avenge the people they killed including my mother, brother, and Ellie.I know my ability is enough to fight in this war. I have my wolf and my blood.I admit I'm not yet ready
LUNA POVI still can't believe I could see and talk to my wolf. Thanks to Ridge. He is a big help to me. It's now late in the evening, everybody is still wide awake. The elders of the pack hold a celebration for the return of my father to their pack. I felt so happy to see my father and other pack members enjoying the night.Ridge sat beside me as we both looked at the fire in the center. "Do you like it here Luna?" he asked.I took a sip of the hot tea before I turned to him."Yes, Ridge. The people are very welcoming. Thank you for helping me," I said with a smile.He also gave me a smile. "My dad said you are a good fighter Ridge, I hope you can also teach me some technique," "Of course Luna. I will be glad to teach you everything I know. We need to enhance your skills," he assured.I nodded. I felt excited to start with the proper training."Luna, remember. When you start the training, always focus on your goal. If you might encounter situations where you will lose hope, pleas
