She rolled her eyes at me. “I think it means what it means. I don’t have a wolf.”
“How? Why?” There were no right questions. Every werewolf has a wolf. Having sex with a human doesn’t make it disappear. And I knew that she had a wolf. My wolf recognised hers when she turned 18.
“Sora died protecting me. She took away all the pain of the rejection that was inflicted. One of us would perish given the amount of pain. She gave up herself.” She spoke.
Xavier wrapped his arm around her and she leaned in. It seemed like he knew about all of this and was okay with it. What k

Nervousness?Anxiousness?Scared?These didn’t even compare to what I was feeling inside. I was shit scared. Fucking shitting sacred.Xavier was trying his best to cheer me up. He and Aurora dressed in cute bear costumes, acting so adorable that I was teary eyed. Xavier complained that he was trying to make me happy but it misfired. I did tell him those were happy tears but he didn’t believe me. What was I scared of?Everything.I knew that I said that I was interested in anything, but that was not true. I knew that the moment I was declared as the Luna, there was no going back. I would do my best to fulfill the role of a Luna. I may not rule beside him from the same throne, but I would definitely have to interact with him. “What is that that bothers you?” Xavier held my hand, stopping me from pulling out all the strings in the pillowcase.“Everything.”“Tell me one by one.” He placed a pillow on his lap and pulled it closer to his chest. He was all ready to listen what I was about t

She lost consciousness. The moment her body began to fall back, and I quickly held her, lifting her up in my arms. Her neck was bleeding badly and it didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon. Shane moved from the couch and I placed her on the couch. Her hands fell limp to the side and I placed them on her stomach comfortably.The doctor was quick to take a look at her. He placed thick cotton pads on her neck, absorbing the blood and preventing the overflow. I grabbed her hand in mine while caressing her cheek with the other. Color began draining from her face. Lucas was behind me, hovering like an annoying bee, waiting to see what was happening.“I am going to stitch her up. It looks like she is losing too much blood.” I nodded, giving him my approval and turned around and glared at him.“What were you thinking?” I barked. “I didn’t mean to hurt her. The mark is supposed to be made that way. I am sorry.” His apology made no difference. If not, it made me even more angry at him.“Ca

I was falling, falling into an abyss. Before I could hit the bottom and die, someone caught my hand, yanking me upward with an effortless pull. The darkness around me shattered, replaced by blinding light. My feet hit solid ground, but I stumbled, disoriented.A garden? Maybe.The air was thick with the scent of blooming flowers, their petals swaying in a gentle breeze. The grass beneath me was so green it looked unreal, like the fresh crayon in a child's coloring set. Birds chirped overhead, their melodies weaving through the rustling leaves. Somewhere in the distance, the steady rush of a waterfall filled the air, its mist catching the golden sunlight. The entire world around me shimmered—like something out of a dream, or maybe a Korean mythology drama."You are finally here."The voice was soft yet commanding, carrying an ethereal hum, like the first note of a song yet to be sung.I turned, squinting against the sunlight, and my breath hitched.She floated above the ground, her long

The moment I woke up, I was pulled into a warm chest. Another tiny body was felt in between and I immediately recognised the scent. Xavier and Aurora. Tears slid down my cheeks when I saw him teary eyed. “I am fine.” I mumbled and connected our lips. We had to pull away before we could deepen our kiss because Aurora was not happy with us kissing. I squished her cheeks and peppered her face with kisses making her scream and laugh.“Thank god you are okay. I was so scared.” A tear made it’s way down his cheeks and I wiped it away with my thumb.“I am not leaving you at all. I am here. Forever.” It was our marriage vow. Before I could add anything, the door swung open with a force that it shattered. Aurora’s shrill cry echoed in the air as a group of people walked in.Xavier stood up, standing in front of us defensively. I stood up from the couch, wobbling a bit to find my balance. Aurora was clutched to my chest, as I tried to calm her down.The energy in the room felt shifted. Those thr

The woman’s voice was almost gentle. “Those who seek to sacrifice you.” She turned to Xavier. “You are her mate.”“Yes I am. In the normal world, I am called a husband.” He sassed.She chuckled and walked to us. Xavier stepped in front of us and I hid myself and Aurora behind him. “I shall not harm you dear. I am here to help you.” She spoke. Her voice was still the same. Calm and gentle.“Let me help you.” Her eyes locked with mine and I shakily nodded. Xavier stepped aside, but stood by my side, ready to pounce. I glanced at Lucas who was looking at us with an unreadable expression. She stepped in front of me and placed her hand on Aurora’s head. Caressing her hair softly, she smiled at Aurora. Aurora’s cries completely died down. She looked at me and then at Xavier and then closed her eyes. Her palm was still on my daughter’s head.“She shall be a queen one day. Just like her mother, brave and strong. She shall inherit your fierceness and love.” She looked at Xavier when she spoke t

Everything around me was null. Nothing made sense anymore. What I thought was a normal case of being troubled by the Vampires and my repentance to protect the pack and be a better Alpha, turned out to be a part of a prophecy.A prophecy?No one has ever heard of something like that. We have only heard of tales and stories from our grandparents as kids, as they captured our attention with these stories.But today, after whatever happened, I don’t think I shall ever see them as stories.Elders never interfered with normal lives. They lived on their own. No one even knew where they lived. They could be summoned by some special people, but usually they never stuck their nose in anyone’s business at all.On top of everything, the irony was not lost on me. There was a time I rejected Ariana, now, even if she was willing to accept me, her body didn’t. Her fate didn't.I felt a sting in my chest thinking of the way she reacted to the mark and the way the mark sealed. Werewolves are proud of tw

After the shock that Xavier gave me for asking about his thoughts, both of us fell into an uncomfortable, awkward silence.What scared me even more was Aurora’s silence.I need to find out what is wrong with my baby.Her calm and composed nature irritated me to the core. Did they do something to her? I shall kill that woman if I find her again. I wanted to pinch my baby and see if she cried. Was that wrong of me as a mother? I don’t know.Xavier was not helping at all.The doorbell rang and I looked up to see if Xavier would answer the door. He did.Looked like someone from the pack had made a visit. They handed something to Xavier in a bag and left.“What is it?”“Some dress for you to wear tonight.” He handed me the bag.I peeked into it and found a white satin dress. Would it even fit me? And who selected it?I looked up to glance at Xavier to see if he was thinking about something like this, but he seemed lost.I just picked it up and headed to the bedroom, carrying Aurora on the w

She looked like a dream in her white dress. Perfect.It hugged her body, cascading from down her waist and flowing onto the floor.Would it have looked like this if we were about to be married?I could imagine her standing at the altar, her hands adorned with delicate gold jewelry, her hair woven into soft curls that framed her face. There would be no tension in her eyes, no burden of fate weighing on her shoulders. Only love—pure and untainted.I would have stood before her, heart racing, hands itching to claim her, knowing that in just a few moments, she would be mine in every way possible. No marks sealing against me. No prophecy dictating our lives. Just us. Just the way it was meant to be.Aurora would have been my pup.

His Rejected Mate 40. ARIANA
Chapter 40: ARIANAThe first thing I thought of when I woke up was the vampires.Their promise. Their demand. Their threat.The night before had been tense. I had been awake for hours, listening to Xavier breathe beside me, feeling the weight of uncertainty pressing against my chest. The vampires had come to the border with a bargain—a simple exchange. Xavier for the safety of the werewolves. It wasn’t just an offer. It was a warning.But Xavier had refused them. He had stood his ground, denying their claim over him, choosing us—choosing me and Aurora. He had promised.And yet… something felt wrong.I turned, reaching for him, expecting to feel the warmth of his body beneath my fingertips.Cold sheets.Empty space.My stomach twisted, a slow, creeping unease crawling up my spine. I patted the space beside me, frowning. It was too cold. If

Kane and Jake stood outside my bedroom.Looks like sleep left me forever. I don’t even remember the last time I slept. No, I don’t even remember the last time I closed my eyes accidentally. Everytime I look back, all I see is the future coming faster, onto us.“What now?” Something looked funny. No, it smelled funny. But I couldn’t do anything. It could just be my wolf acting up. We did not shift for the longest time and that could have made him irritated.“The vampires are at the border. They want to talk to you. They claim to come in peace, but I don’t trust those bloody bastards one bit.”“We need to talk to them before we plan on killing them, Jake. We don't know how many there are. And we definitely don’t know what they are up to.” Shutting my bedroom door, I walked out, Jake and Kane following me.We decided to shift and reach the border. My wolf was ready to release itself and I let him take charge. Grabbing our dresses in our mouths, we raced to the border. The guards were stat

“You are a vampire Xavier.” Shane’s voice cut through. Ariana sniffed beside me. “Hey, what happened? What’s wrong?” I asked cupping her face. She shook her head and forced a smile. I didn’t know what to do.“A vampire? How?” How could I be a vampire? And how did I not know about it all this time? No, she is lying. I am not a vampire. But everything came crashing. Again.The way I threw that guard across the room, the heightened sense of smell I had developed recently, the fear in Ariana’s eyes whenever she saw me. Everything came back to me.“Why?” I didn’t know what I was asking or whom I was asking, but yeah, I wanted to know. Know something about myself.I lifted my head and glanced around the room. My eyes found Lucas. He was standing there looking at us. I stood up, and Ariana followed suit. Walking towards him, my hands fell on the bundle in his arms.My daughter.No. Our daughter. I extended my hands towards him and he looked at Ariana. She nodded and Lucas handed my baby gir

The night of the sacrifice felt like a distant memory, but I remembered every detail with chilling clarity.The flickering torches. The scent of blood in the air. The quiet murmurs of the Elders as they stood in a circle, their faces grave and knowing.I remembered standing there, my heart hammering as Ariana took the blood oath with Lucas. I should have been focused on her, on what it meant for us. But something else had been stirring inside me that night.A pull.A strange, invisible force winding itself around my ribs, tightening with every passing second. It was subtle at first—a whisper at the back of my mind, a shiver in my spine. But then came the sharp pain in my chest, a sensation so foreign, so suffocating, that I had to grip the edge of a wooden bench ju

Xavier let out a blood curdling scream.“ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”I screamed and Aurora broke into screams and wails. The walls around us trembled and the ground shook. The windows and door broke into pieces.A body was thrown onto me and I screamed again. Aurora went still in my arms and I panicked.I quickly patted her cheeks and called her, but she didn’t respond. I shook her tiny chest, but no.No.No.No.Aurora noooooooooo.“Shhhh. She is fine. She is just unconscious.” That was

There was a shift in the air, one I couldn’t ignore.Tension clung to the packhouse walls like an unseen force, thick and suffocating. The wolves around us moved cautiously, their voices hushed, their eyes flickering between Xavier and each other as if they were waiting for something—something inevitable, something they feared.And Xavier… he was silent.Not his usual composed, brooding silence. This was different.He sat stiffly at the edge of the couch, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped so tightly his knuckles were white. His head was slightly bowed, dark hair falling over his forehead, hiding his face from view. But I didn’t need to see his eyes to know what was going on inside him.He was unraveling.Slowly.Silently.Aurora’s wails broke through the suffocating stillness.I shifted my grip on her, trying to soothe her, but she kept fussing, her tiny body squirming in my arms. No amount of rocking, humming, or whispered reassurances seemed to help. It wasn’t just discomfor

The journey back had taken longer than expected.By the time I reached the pack’s territory, the night was thick around me, the air heavy with something unspoken. Something to watch. I had felt it for days now—that invisible force slithering beneath the surface, curling around my ribs like an omen.The Elders had confirmed it.Something old had awakened.And it was already here.I barely had the strength to walk as I made my way through the trees, my body aching from the sleepless nights, my mind still haunted by the voices I had heard in the temple. Whispers in a language I didn’t understand. Warnings etched into the stone, dripping with something more than just history.Blood.The Elders had been cryptic, as always, but their message had been clear enough. There is an enemy in your midst. An enemy hiding in plain sight.And I already knew who it was.Or at least, I thought I did.That’s why I had come straight to Ariana.I found her on the balcony of the packhouse, her arms wrapped a

The change was subtle at first. Something that couldn’t be seen easily. Xavier had always been a man of quiet intensity, but today, something was… different.It started when we returned from the packhouse. He had been alert, calculating, his hand never leaving the small of my back as if expecting something to strike at any moment. But once we were home, his sharpness faded into something else—something quieter.Distant.He wasn’t pacing, wasn’t tense or outwardly agitated. Instead, he was still. Too still. I watched him from the corner of my eye as I rocked Aurora in my arms. Xavier sat on the edge of the bed, head bowed slightly, his hands resting loosely on his thighs. His breaths wer

The feeling didn’t go away.Even as the morning stretched into daylight, even as I tried to brush it off as lingering fear from my nightmare—something inside me knew. Something was wrong.I moved through the motions of the morning, tending to Aurora, brushing my hair, washing my face, but nothing felt normal. My own reflection in the mirror looked pale, haunted. Maybe it was just the restless sleep. Maybe it was just the remnants of the dream still clinging to me like a cold mist.But deep down, I knew better.I found Xavier sitting at the edge of our bed, fastening his boots. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, but his eyes were sharp, alert. He had felt it too, hadn’t he? The
