Delaury's POV I hadn't seen Tristan for days. I'd not been outside too for days, because the doctor said I should be resting and Krystal said Tristan preferred me to be in bed. My guess was he's probably still annoyed with me. “ How is he? “ I asked Krystal the moment she appeared to check on me. I'd just taken a shower and was preparing to lie down and wait for my breakfast. “ Angry,” she replied, placing the food tray on the bed. “ Still?” She nodded. “ How is he acting?” “ Throwing items around, kira keeps getting a hang of his anger” I grimaced. It was all my fault. Tristan had been acting all cool when I came till my wolf had to spoil it all. “ I need to talk to him” “ He's busy,” Krystal replied, a bit tense. “ Busy? “ “ Yes” “ With who? ““ Kira” “ Again” I said , a tug in my chest. Was it jealousy? She only nodded. “ Whatever I need to talk to him now “ I said. I needed to save Kira, I caused his anger. “ No, wait ,dont–” I was out of the door before Krystal c
Delaury's POV I didn't know where I was going, neither did I have any plan. Maybe I could go into the city, get a job like a normal person and be free from arrogant and ruthless Alphas. The silence of the wolf's age confused me. This was my second time here alone and this time I wasn't even sure I'd make it out of here. “ Did you think you could escape us ?” I turned to find a grey rogue wolf from some time ago, behind me. His yellow eyes roamed around me like some form of meat. The black wolf was nowhere in sight. “ What do you want from me? “ “ You're obviously lost aren't you?” He asked, coming closer whilst I stepped back.“ No–”“ You liar!” He roared, causing me to whimper. “ I am not lost” “ You still smell like a lone wolf, an unmated one” he said, a little smirk on his face. “ There's no one to protect you now, not even your big bad alpha” I would do anything for Tristan to appear right now. I needed to stall him.“ How did you know about him?”“ Who doesn't know Tr
Orion's POV “What nonsense? Rejection happens all the time in the wolf's age and the wolves accept it. This is total rubbish!” Dad yelled, pointing directly at Yolanda. “ Those are my findings General, you may ask the oracle for more information “ Yolanda, unperturbed, replied dutifully. “ How is this even possible? That outcast was rejected almost weeks ago and you're telling me this? “ He continued, ignoring her order.“ We can't predict the moon goddess General” “ Have you been thinking of her? Did you even have any form of intimacy with her?” He turned to me, his eyes daring me to say something so he would blame. “ No dad, I didn't even know her face until the mating ceremony and neither did I touch her “ I lied. A complete one. I knew her and I'd touched her before she was banished. “ Then what the hell is going on here!?” This time, he spoke to no one in particular, pacing back and forth. “ It's never happened before–” Yolanda backed up, and I wished I could strangle her.
Delaury's POV Tristan and I weren't talking, I ignored him completely and so did he. We no longer had breakfast together. I'd started learning how to sew, and Krystal was my teacher. I was practising on one material when she came to call me.“ Alpha Tristan is looking for you” “ What does he want? ““I don't know, miss, maybe you should go find out for yourself, he's with Tyron” she replied with an annoyed tone. The information indicating Tyron being around was obviously the cause of her anger. “ Alright, I'll be down soon” “ He says now!” She said, snatching the material from my hand. “ Fine, I'm going” “ Where is he?”“ He's at the house entrance, outside I think”“ Well he could have just come up here!” I grumbled and walked to where I was being called. Tristan and Tyron stood outside with five ladies, the one that disgraced me earlier was a part of them.“ You called for me” I said, looking at Tyron instead of Tristan. “ I promised to teach you how to transform into your
Delaury's POV “ In simple terms she can't shift for now, I can't explain further because I don't know what's going on” Dr Jules stated, obviously upset that he's been called back to the pack mansion.“ Every wolf can shift ,Jules, what the hell is wrong? !” Tristan asked..“ Let's ask her then, Miss Delaury, what happened?”Telling them my wolf spoke words I couldn't understand to me would lead to many questions I wouldn't be able to answer. “ I just wasn't feeling my wolf,” I said. “ But you told Tyron your wolf spoke to you “Tristan replied, clearly confused. “ Yes I did, I only felt it ,not necessarily speaking to me “ I explained. He only nodded. “ How did you feel before you couldn't control yourself?”“ I don't know, just some uncomfortable feeling rising through me, I couldn't control the heat, I did hear someone tell me to stop but I couldn't stop, just like–” I paused. What if they find out I was responsible for killing my own parents with something I didn't even rememb
Delaury's POV “ You did what? “ Krystal yelled into my ears for the sixth time.“Tristan kissed me” I simply stated. “ Oh my moon!” Krystal yelled.“ Will you keep it down !” “ How can I? You finally kissed Tristan!!!” Her enthusiasm exceeded mine. Star had been grunting since Tristan left the room. Apparently she didn't improve the little intimacy.“ I can't believe this, this is so interesting, “ she said, sitting beside me on the bed. Her smile reminded me of Sylvia. I missed her so much. I wondered how she'd feel if she heard I'd replaced her. I needed to find a way to see her. “ Why are you so quiet now?” Krystal said, smiling. “ I really don't know what else to say Krystal, I literally told you whatever happened “ “ Well, how was it? ““ It was okay, I guess ““ Your first kiss,I can't believe this!” “ This isn't my first kiss” “ What do you mean?” She asked ,confused. My mind wandered back to Orion's kiss. “ Orion kissed me before I came” “ What?”“ Yeah,” “ That e
Orion's POVIf a man could separate himself from a wolf, I would have done that a long time . Israel was uncontrollable, I'd been having sleepless nights since Dad's conversation and I was almost running mad. “ Orion!” I snapped to find Angela beside me, I'd forgotten she was speaking to me .“ Yes, sorry “ “ You've been zoning out lately, Orion is everything fine?”“ Yes baby, everything is” “ Good, so as I was saying, could you believe your beta's wife refused to greet me today? I mean she's been doing that “ “ Maybe she wasn't in the mood, Angela” “ How? I'm her future Luna and she's going to be part of my followers,why would she do that? “ “ Angela, give Sylvia a break “ “ This is so unlike you Orion, you would be demanding respect from her by now, have you seen how she ignores you” “ Angela!” I was getting tired of the constant banter. “ Fine okay, how about we go see the dancing moon” “ It's today? ““ Yes, General said it would be nice to confess our love and allow t
Delaury's POV My body was normal. Star was livid. I'd confessed my love to Tristan. “ Hi” Tristan greeted as he got downstairs ready to take his grape. “ Hello” “ Hope you are good, you look tired” he observed. Yes I was tired, Star wasn't letting me sleep. “ I'm fine,”“ Are you sure, maybe I could help?” He said, a mischievous smile dancing around his lips . “And how would you like to help?” “ Not now, I'd show you later” he replied and took a seat. “ Well ,okay” “ What are you up to?”“ Nothing, I basically do nothing here“ “ Do you want to work, Delaury?”“ I guess being an omega had left its mark” “ Well you're a Luna here and your job description is different “ “ Well I'm not yet a Luna” “ Then you could come along with me for pack hunting, since you can't shift, you'd walk with me behind the others but prepare to be blinded by nakedness “ “ Oh my goodness “ I sighed in defeat.” Don't you guys have to take clothes along or something?”“ Well it's not required, we'
Delaury's POV “ Delaury? Are you okay” Elaine came up behind me as I played absentmindedly with the pearl of her dress. “ I'm fine” I replied, tears welling up in my eyes. “ I'm just confused” “ About what? You don't want to be Luna? “ She asked calmly. Aside Krystal , Elaine had been a good friend too. Today I wasn't in the mood for Krystal's hyperactiveness about my mating so I lied that I needed to go solo shopping at Elaine's store. I nodded at her and she smiled. “ Look, sorry for being blunt but you're not cut out to be Tristan's Luna” I looked at her in surprise. “ Elaine? “ “ What! I mean he's hot and all, could pass for any wolf model but no, Tristan is too dark” “ Too dark? I mean he's ruthless but dark?”“ Yes, he's dark, I can't pinpoint but honestly sometimes I get scared for you more than I should have , especially when Kira was around. She used to express concern about you” Kira has not appeared in my dreams since and it's really confusing why she seemed to not
Sebastian's PoV " Beta Sebastian! " I froze at the mention of my name and turned face to face with General Eziele. He scanned my face as if to find any hidden information but I remained stiff. " General Eziele ! " I said, standing upright to meet his tall frame. As much as he had been acting weird lately with Orion, he was still a General and a past alpha. One that took me in when my parents died. " Have you seen Orion? " He asked calmly, I didn't miss the concern laced in his voice. " He hasn't been home since yesterday evening, Angela says he wasn't in bed this morning too" " No, General, Alpha Orion was seen training the young wolves yesterday, he mentioned going on a solo survey hunt " I replied. " Are you sure? " He asked, " it's been almost 8 hours, send Ervin and Fidele out to find him, we need to make preparations for the mating ceremony " " Yes, General" I replied, he scanned my face for about fifty minutes before finally walking away. I heaved a huge sigh of relief an
Delaury's POV “ Now connect to your wolves, let them know that you are around” Tyron's voice pierced through my head as I shut my eyes to connect with Star. I wasn't necessarily part of the class. He was teaching the wolves who to transform and though I wasn't expected there, I'd moved here just to get my mind of things. Star was exceptionally light today . “ You seem happy” I said. She ignored me, still feeling light. “ Why cant I shift? Don't you want to come out? “ “not yet Laury, not yet” she replied. I stopped Tyron's orders in frustration. There was no point going ahead with it when the wolf herself wasn't ready to come out. Tristan was nowhere to be seen and that was fine by me, my feelings for him was something that couldn't be explained and I was beginning to realize that it was best if I was far from him. Which wasn't possible, in the next few days, I'll be his mate. “ Let it all out” Tyron said. .I watched as a few shifted into their wolves, baring their fangs
Orion’s POV “ lightning? “ Old Tasha asked. I nodded. “ Mmm” She looked overly calm for my liking. I rushed here early to talk, and she didn't seem the least alarmed about my dream. “ Different shades of hair, a small piercing voice but audible till she began to fade” I continued. “ Anything else?”The memories were fading and I sat deep in thought to remember what she had said before fading away. I almost shook my head. “ Wait, she said something about Jake–” “ Jake? ““ Jane? ““ Are you telling me or asking!?” She deadpanned. “ No no, it was a J word” “ Jenkins? “ “ No” “ Ja–”“ Jolt, yes Jolt, said it was a he, that's when she began to fade” I tried to remember her words. “ By the time the last star moves from this side, it will be too late and the truth shall never be known “ Old Tasha seemed to be in thought. “The last star will be moving somewhere next week. “ She explained. “ But too late for what and what does it have to do with Jolt? “ I asked. She shrugged
Orion’s Pov The baby with brown hair lay in my arms, her smile was as bright as the sun as she kicked her legs high up on the hair. “ Isn't she too young to be kicking?” I asked Sylvia. She rolled her eyes at me and continued with the soup she was preparing. Sebastian has to check on the young wolves today so he asked me to check on them. Sylvia and I had gotten closer so there was no problem talking. “ My daughter has the strength of a thousand Alphas” she said and placed a bowl in front of me. “Eat, you look like Ervin and his wolf” she teased and I let out a laugh. “ How does Ervin and his wolf look like? “ “ Dehydrated , Malnourished and scrawny ,how did you even make him on of your associates? “ I shrugged amidst laughter. “ Ervin has been a good wolf just too slow unlike Sebastian” “ I know Sebastian is your favorite “ she said proudly and I laughed. “ I understand why he likes you so much,you're funny” “ Me? Funny ? Wait till you meet–” she paused and watched me qui
Delaury's POV Jules finally deemed me fit to walk today. I'd been in bed all the week, with only short movements from the bathroom and back. “ I'm guessing she can do anything now,” Tristan asked him, his hands squeezing mine. “ Not anything,” Jules replied. He knew what Tristan was asking about. “ That's not fun, don't I get to take something from you after taking care of you” “ There are other ways I can replace it” He shook his head silently and we waited in silence till Jules left. “Today the oracle would speak to me,” Tristan said as soon as the door closed behind us. “ It's been glowing so much lately,I guess it has special information. “ Okay” “ I'm hoping it's about when we're mating” I sighed quietly, mating with Tristan might have been high a few weeks ago but now, the idea was not so thrilling. “ You're not saying anything brownie, are you fine? “ “ Yes, I am ,thank you” “ For what? You're not following,I'm talking about the mating ceremony “ “
Orion’s POV“ I need to –” “ No, Orion, it's not time to confront your father yet,leave him alone ! He chose my friend and that was all” “ But he hurt you” “ You wouldn't be born if he has chosen me “ “ But–” “ No buts, I'm not telling you this because I want to, you asked. Besides there's a lesson there for you to learn “ “ Fine, but do you promise we'll revisit this matter? “ “ Of course Just not now Orion, focus on what's needed” she said and picked her stick to leave. “ Remember,time is ticking “ I say there for while before getting up to leave. A million thoughts ran through my head with none being straight to the point. “ I've been searching for you , Your Dad seems to be in a furious mood” Fidele said.“ Don't worry about him, tell the Omegas they may take a day off “ I said. I didn't know why but the urge to make sure that the omegas were involved in most of the pack activities has been consuming me all day. “ Where have you been Orion? “ Angela asked, pouting. “ Ar
Orion's Pov For the first time ever, I was wondering what would have happen if the moon goddess had just mated Angela and I together. Delaury wouldn't be banished but she'd still be an outcast, old Tasha would never have spoken up and I wouldn't be here watching her in awe as she braided a strand of her long white hair. “ My mom? You knew my mom? “ She nodded absentmindedly. “ I'm not a child Orion and I'm not too old to remember people, Angelina and I were friends” she said. Dad only told me she'd been killed by a rival pack, actually he kept changing how she was killed. “ Friends as in age mates? “ “ Yes, my hair is white because it's hereditary, a family inheritance that I chose to keep, I use a stick to walk because I broke my waist years ago, and i don't talk to anyone because I choose not to, I'm too overwhelmed by Angelina's death” “ What happened?” I never saw a picture of her around, Dad threw them all out, saying he didn't want me to be hurt all the time though I yea
Orion's Pov “ You carried a pack baby for months and decided to name her Delaury? after a cursed soul? “ Giselle scowled behind Sylvia and Sebastian. We were having a ceremony for the birth and thought they preferred a quiet one with no other disturbance. I'd convinced them to go ahead with the pack’s normal routine, inviting the older wolves for the ceremony. Giselle, an old grumpy woman, was pissing me off more than the couples standing in front of me. “ So , we welcome this beautiful baby to the Eziele pack, may she grow to explore certain parts and prove all odds wrong” I said, staring pointedly at the women who cast furtive glances at me. “ Orion” Giselle called out .“ Giselle? “ “ Why aren't you bothered by their choice of name ?” “ Delaury is a name , Giselle, it's the name of this baby and several other female wolves across the wolf's age, one cursed person doesn't affect them all” I retorted. Though Israel grunted when I said ‘cursed’. “ It's the Eziele pack we're tal
