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.

I didn’t think that he would introduce me to his parents.Not like this.Not after everything.It wasn’t something I had prepared myself for—not that I ever thought about meeting Lucas’s parents in the first place. There was a time when I had dreamed of being accepted into his life, of standing by his side as his Luna. That time had long passed, and yet, here I was, wearing his family’s crown, standing before the people who had raised him.I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.Lucas’s mother was graceful, composed—her sharp eyes missing nothing. She had that natural authority that only Lunas carried, the kind that came with experience and time. His father, on the other hand, was un

The feast was in full swing. For the first time in a long time, I was genuinely happy. Happy for my pack, happy for my people and happy for myself. For the first time I felt like an alpha. Kids running around, mates chatting happily, couples whispering and laughing, everything was perfect. I closed my eyes and captured this moment in my mind.Today, I found strength, not just peace. I found the strength to fight these battles. Strength that everything shall be fine tomorrow.But there was one thing I had to do at the earliest.The Elders.I had spent my life knowing they existed but never once imagining they would interfere in my affairs. Yet, they had—declaring prophecies, speaking in riddles, and acting like they held the strings to my life.I needed answers.The decision to meet them hadn’t been easy. But if I wanted to secure the future of my pack—of her—I had to risk it. I didn’t know where they resided, but I knew someone who did.Shane.The Elder Wolf had been an advisor to my f

It had been a week since the sacrifice.Things have been….good.There was no unnecessary drama, no troubles, no movements and no conspiracies. I wish this world would become so. I wish this pack and every other pack, finds peace. I imagined the Moon Goddess I saw in my dream and prayed to her.Lucas was not in the picture. He did not visit or disturb us. We lived in our small bubble filled with love, laughter and happiness.Aurora went back to being a normal child, crying, screaming and laughing. I cried the first time she cried again. Xavier was worried to the core, afraid that something might have happened to both of us. When I told him the reason, the expression on his face was priceless.He look

I was right when I said something was wrong. All of that peace felt like silence before the storm.That night when I went to bed, I was pretty restless. I had this nagging feeling in my belly telling me something was wrong. Yet, Xavier’s touch lulled me into a sleep.But then came a dream.The dream came in pieces.Shadows slithered through the trees, twisting around thick trunks and curling against the roots. There was whispering—low, indecipherable murmurs that sent chills down my spine.I turned, but the world around me shifted. One moment, I was in the forest. The next, I was standing in front of the ancient church where Lucas and I had taken the blood oath.The doors were ope

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

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 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

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

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
