Delaury's POV Krystal and Tyron were mates. That was the simple truth. Yet Tristan prevented them from doing so, but they couldn't stay away and now Krystal was pregnant. She fell asleep after crying and I was pondering over her issue for almost an hour now. Someone knocked on the door. “ Come in” I said and Tyron entered. A sad look in his eyes. “ I've been searching for her”“ She fell asleep after sobbing, I let her sleep, she's already tired “ He nodded..“ I'm guessing she's already told you” “ Yes she has, I think you should come clean to Tristan” I urged.“ You don't know the extent of Tristan’s anger, he could even order for the removal of the baby or banish us,” Tyron said.“ But he's your best friend, he should be able to put your needs into consideration ““ he doesn't believe in mates anymore, he's been hurt that he prefers everyone to be mate less, I'm glad he even wants you as his Luna,”“ Technically if I decide to be his Luna , you and Krystal can be free to be t
Delaury's POV “ What happened? “ I asked Tristan who had walked so fast that I was basically running to speak to him. He was still angry .“ Do you believe her or not? “ He retorted. “ I don't know, Tristan, “ I said.“ You would have believed them Delaury, you still doubt the love I have for you “ he said, looking hurt.“ I didn't-”“ You doubt me “ he walked back into his room , leaving me guilty. ★★★I'd never been here since I was brought out by a Delta into the pack mansion. It looked deserted now, the place was painted and the omegas and Gamma's here were loitering about. Others waved whilst others just looked on. “ Miss Delaury,how may we help you? “ a Gamma asked,“ I'm looking for three girls that were in this dungeon, one named Kira,” I said. He turned to watch his friend and the two exchanged a look.“ They're not longer here miss,they left” “ What do you mean ? ““ The two girls Lana and Hailey asked to be freed into the city and the alpha allowed them, Kira lives at
Delaury's POV Kira was this close to stabbing me, I needed to do something for myself this time. I couldn't be the helpless one every time. “ Kira, I'm sorry I didn't know” I stated, blocking her from reaching me with the knife. The key to the door was still intact, I just needed to turn it and make my way out. “ You knew ,you idiot, you wanted him all to yourself, you were jealous of me “ her eyes were as red as blood and the energy she seemed to possess was quite abnormal. Blocking her from the knife was making me weak and I didn't know why, she finally got to my side and stopped. “ What's happening? “ She yelled, staring at me, the knife on the floor. “ I don't know –”The horror in her eyes was evident as she moved back a bit, a distressed look in her face. “ Are you okay Kira?” I asked, and she raised her hand to stop me from getting closer. “ I -can’t believe this” “ You're one of us” “ One of you?”“ The–” A loud noise from the door caused me to move away from it and
Orion’s POV“ We've had no threats from the rival packs so far, so we put a hold on the training for a while” I announced to the wolves. Today was a pack meeting and since the elders weren't available, as the Alpha I had to take over.“ When is the training going to commence? “ A Delta asked .“ From next week “ I assured. The meeting was over and I was ready to run around the forest. Israel was tormenting me. “ When is the next moon for mating coming? We need a Luna for this pack” a female gamma said ,and elicited an uproar of response from the crowd. “ The Luna has already been chosen, what's left is the mating” I stated. Ignoring Israel’s grunting. “ And which Luna are we talking about? “ Sylvia spoke up, she has been silent all this while and I was dreading her voice. Ever since that night, her hatred for me has increased so much that she has resorted to openly reminding me of Delaury.“ Me, of course” Angela stated, making sure to turn around for her to admire her well. “ The
Delaury's POV I woke up quite late today, I'd been up knitting all night and I fell asleep later than usual. Krystal entered with a tired expression on her face, she had been like this the whole week.“ Is he gone? “ I asked, referring to Tristan. “ Yes, he just left, said something about pack hunting deep into the woods” she explained, panting and taking a seat on the bed. “ What's wrong? “ “ I fear he might do something if he finds out,” she said, distressed all over her face.“ He won't find out if we don't make him see “ “ I'm weak, Delaury, a pregnant wolf is different from a pregnant human “ “ Everything will be fine,Krystal, just calm down,” I assured.“ What happened the other day with Kira? “ She asked. “ She tried to kill me, but stopped as if she had recognized something about me” Krystal only signed. “ There was actually something different about her than the two” “ I'll be going to the pack market , would you want to go with me? “ “ No, I'd like to lie down.” I
Delaury's POV “ You're coming with me to the pack meeting right? “ Tristan begged, his head on my breast as we lay on the bed. Our make out session has ended only because we were trying to not do anything before the mating ceremony. “ Pack meeting? “ “ Yes, the annual pack meeting and he's wolves from other packs, we get to discuss new insights and others” I was skeptical and Star was beginning to get excited. “ The Eziele pack would be absent” he explained ,almost as if he heard Star . I nodded, a bit relieved. I was finally trying to accept Tristan and I wasn't ready to see Orion. “ Why? ““ The wolf's age is divided into Four, the east, west, north and south, Jolt is on the east and Eziele is on the south, there are other packs around but mostly pack meeting consist of Eastern packs only” he explained,” or the other sections only” “ Okay” “ We only do a total pack meeting annually, for only Alphas”“ I get it now, I'd go with you, only on one condition “ “ Anything for you
Delaury's POV The ride was silent with Tristan occasionally asking if I was fine or I needed a break. I didn't, I was just enjoying the scenery. “ We're almost here,” he announced . we'd been in the car for close to four hours and I could see the sky clearing up above us. “ Do I get down with you,or I stay in the car?” “ You have my Scent now, they can't do you anything, you're coming with me” he stated. We drove on for about thirty minutes and parked the car at a bigger house, way bigger than any pack mansion I'd seen. “ This is the headquarters of the high council of the Eastern Wolf Age” “ It's so big” “Yes, it's owned by the Alpha of the land, the Night owl pack, Alpha Ethan , he's ruthless, let me do the talking, besides we're going to be meeting other ruthless Alphas” I nodded. “ Are you going to shift now?” I asked, as he adjusted his shirt. “ This is a formal meeting, no need to shift, but if it gets serious I would shift,” he said. I'd really wanted to see Azrael
Delaury's POV “ Enough!” Alpha Ethan yelled out and Gillian kept his mouth shut. So this was Kira's abusive mate. He shut up and kept his glare on me instead. “ Do we have any other issues to discuss? “ Alpha Ethan asked, clearly bored of the meeting. “ No Alpha” they all chorused and he nodded.“ Think about what I said , Tristan, “ he said and walked out. “I will do so at my own pace! “ Tristan muttered and Ethan walked out. “ This has been a very short but interesting meeting,” Draven said, and smiled at me. Gillian was still seated and glaring at me, for reasons known to only him. Draven must have realized my annoyance .“ Don't mind him, he'd definitely get it from Tristan before he leaves “ He said and I nodded. “ Should we leave?” Tristan asked, “ Yes, we're done here aren't we” I replied, these wolf meetings weren't for me at all. “ Tristan,such a nice pleasure meeting you once more, how have you been? “ a Luna appeared from behind. “Lina, I've been okay ,how about
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
Delaury's POV “ It's so smooth ,yet it feels unreal” Krystal ran her hands down the mark in awe. I was lying on the bed now, on my stomach as she examined the mark. I know she had mind- linked Tristan, so definitely he was coming. “ And you haven't seen this before?”As much as I wanted to say the truth to her, instincts told me to shut up. “ No, “I used to draw them in a book when I was in the Eziele pack, I drew them out so I could remember each and every design my family had on their back. I even drew mine out, just like Dad’s . Yet mine came out worse.“ Krystal what's wrong? “ Tristan burst in and the familiar grape scent filled my nose, Jules was with him obviously and he didn't seem too convincing enough to know what was behind me.“ When did you find out about this? “ Tristan asked, passing his hands over the mark. “ Just today, she wanted to know how much of a scar she has now so she walked to the mirror to check and that's where we saw it” “ Have you seen someone with
Delaury's POV Five days. Five days of being indoors and my mid section wrapped with bandages . My breasts were pushing against the bandages, begging to be freed. I wonder why Jules found it right to bandage my breast too. How exactly did the lightning strike? The blood has stopped now and currently I was able to prop up on the end without hissing. “ Water? “ Krystal asked as she lay beside me on the bed. Tristan wanted to bring in another maid but she had refused, saying she was just pregnant and not disabled. She used to come see me and then go back to her room after seeing to my needs, but after my weird episodes of nightmares,she'd decided to sleep with me instead. “ Yes, can I get grapes too? “ I pleaded. She gave me a warm smile and got up to leave. Tyron came in after she left. “ Hi, Krystal told me you're awake, come to check on you” he said. “ Thank you so much, I appreciate this” “ I'm sorry Delaury, I really wanted to stop him, I don't know what's wrong with him these
Orion’s POV “ Calm down Sylvia, relax and bring it out!” Old Tasha soothed, her hands gently caressing Sylvia's stomach as she panted. Just when she had decided to talk, Sebastian had rushed out for help and she had rushed into their house before me. The care attendants ran back when they saw who was coordinating the child's birth. I smirked. “ We're not doing this again, Sebastian; go fuck Orion next time! “ She yelled, taking a deep breath as she pushed once more. I was as traumatized as Sebastian, who was on the verge of tears at his mate in pain. I was standing beside him whilst Old Tasha stood in front of her, waiting to receive the baby if she pushed harder. She was gentle yet firm with her. “ Calm down Sylvia, calm down, this baby is a strong one” she encouraged. That seemed to make Sylvia confident and she pushed.“ Can't male wolves give birth? “ She asked no one in particular, Old Tasha did have a mysterious smile to her face. Her first. “ Now do one last push, and
Delaury's POV Flashback: “ Mom, what's that behind you? “ I traced the nice tattoo behind her back as she swam in the ocean. “ Oh, it's something you'd get to know when you're older” “ I've seen Dad ,Dana and Delah have it but I don't “ “ Like I said hunny, you'd know when you're older, it's a powerful symbol for our family “ she explains, splashing water on my brown hair to get it wet. “ How will I get it Ma? “ “ Dad and I got it during our confession night, you know it was a forbidden night for us, that's why it's large, Dana and Delah got it during their first shift to a wolf “ “ So theirs isn't forbidden? “ She shook her head. “ When it's forbidden, it depicts the kind of wolf you'll become “ “ Which wolf? ““ A very strong one baby, don't worry young head, let's play with the water” I agreed, what was there to think of anyway? end of Flashback ★★★The lights blinded my already dark vision and I squinted even in my sleep. The pain at my back was so severe that I coul
Delaury's POV “ We can't confess anything under this Tristan” I yelled, trying to pry my hands away from Tristan. The cheerfu Alpha was gone, in place was a ruthless one. The one I actually heard about before arriving here. “ A blood moon is a blood moon brownie” he said, pushing me to stand beside him in front of the bonfire. Tyron stood from afar, watching us.“ This blood moon is wrong don't you get it? “ I hissed. He ignored me. Anger evident on his face as he turned to find a stone to light the bon fire. I turned to Tyron who seemed to hesitate stepping in or leaving me. “ Go home Tyron, your mate is waiting” Tristan ordered. He gave me one last apologetic look before leaving. I watched Tristan try to light the fire and after a few minutes the fire was ready. He laughed. “ Come closer brownie, don't delay us” he said, stretching out his arms to take me. Intrusive thoughts urged me to push him but then the pack would be without an alpha and all the speculations about my m
Orion's PovThe weather was oddly chilled for a blood moon night. A rare night I'd never experienced before but the weather didn't describe the night. “ Are we set?” I turned to Ervin. “ Yes Alpha, though the moon looks oddly bloody” he stated and I couldn't agree more. He was right. The whole pack was shining red almost as if the the world itself was blood colored. “ Get the people so we begin the ceremony, where are Sebastian and Sylvia? “ “ Fidele went to check on them, Sebastian said something about Sylvia not feeling too well” I nodded, making a mental note to go see him. The omegas strutted into the pack grounds, dressed into their finest clothes. The whole pack would rebel against my decision to include them to the blood moon festival but I wouldn't listen. As long as they had a role to play, they were also part of the pack.She was also part. I watched as the pack strutted in, some in pairs and trios. Mostly in pairs. Mates. Yolanda nodded in my direction and I walked t
