It turns out that I was out for almost two weeks and just like I'd been praying, Beta Wyatt didn't seem to know my identity, or perhaps he had no aim to raise the topic but still, he was distant and cold whenever it came to me.
Through Nancy, who was now a friend of mine, I discovered that we were currently in a villa of beta Wyatt which was located deep in the mountains and surrounded by the ocean.
According to the rumors I heard, it seems that Beta Wyatt and his team were out in the mountains to search for something, but I have yet to find out what they were.
The only information I knew was that Doctor Asher was also on the team. And he's not only a doctor but also a warrior also which was the reason he hopped on the search.
"We're returning to the pack today; you can choose to come with us or…" Beta Wyatt says to me a week after my wake.
"I'll come with you." I interrupted anxiously while nodding my head fiercely. "I'll come with you," I replied again.
Wyatt ignored me and walked out of the villa. "We'll be leaving in thirty minutes. Hurry up." I heard him say, and I nodded my head quickly.
I rushed into the villa to check my non-existent things and fixed myself up.
Accompanying Nancy and the other maids, we went out of the villa a few minutes before the thirty minutes Beta Wyatt instructed.
A private helicopter was in the villa's heliport and soon we took off.
The heaviness in my heart dissipated a lot upon knowing that we were probably leaving for a pack that was far from Red Flame pack and Alpha Henry.
'Alpha Henry!' I clenched my fist with a firm revengeful gaze which I hid by lowering my head, 'I'll be back for you soon.' I silently declared.
It took three days to arrive at our destination and the farther the pack was, the wider my smile.
I stood up and stretched happily when it was announced that all passengers could alight.
My heart began to thrum again in my chest due to nervousness and anxiety just like it had been doing the past few days.
"You know I never know which pack you were from?" I began to chatter with Nancy while alighting the helicopter with her to suppress my chaotic emotions.
I could feel the existence of happiness and nervousness rocking through me at the same time.
I finally left the red flame pack for a faraway pack but with a lie that could swallow my existence once it was found, I hope I didn't make a bad choice.
I don't know how friendly the pack members are. I can only pray that they are nice and friendly like Nancy and Asher because they were a big motivation when it comes to choosing to follow or not.
"You came along without the fear that you'd be sold by us?" Nancy teased me playfully.
I shrugged nonchalantly even though I knew she was right, but I never thought of this. Perhaps it was because I knew Beta Wyatt despite cold wouldn't do something shady to me. Besides, Asher doesn't seem like someone who'll invest his time doing something wicked.
"I guess I trust you too much," I replied and she laughed.
"Well." Nancy stopped in her tracks and bowed to me dramatically. "Welcome to the Power Axis pack." She revealed, which made my eyes widen in shock.
"Pow. Power Axis pack? You're from the Power Axis pack?" I questioned with disbelief, fear, and mixed feelings running through me.
I couldn't believe that I willingly entered the power axis pack, the biggest pack in the werewolf clan which is known for being controlled by Alpha Hudson.
Who is Alpha Hudson? Alpha Hudson is the cruelest, most mysterious, and most eccentric Alpha to ever exist in the lineage of the wolf clan.
Not only had no one seen Alpha Hudson's face. He was rumored to be a bald and potbellied ugly man who loved killing people who were more handsome than him.
Not only that, all the women who were sold to him are rumored to die one way or the other in less than three days. Besides, he's feared as a killing machine. And he's famously known for mistreating his pack members.
I shivered fearfully, sweat began to trickle down my skin and my leg almost gave way. How can I make such a reckless mistake?
"What's wrong? Did you still feel sick?" Nancy suddenly touched my forehead which made me jolt in shock.
I quickly shook my head, albeit nervously, "No. I'll be fine." I muttered a lie while clenching my fist hard, but will I truly be?
Beta Wyatt strode toward us while Asher whizzed past us after blowing a kiss into the air. Wyatt stared at me coldly, "Come with me." He ordered in his cold voice.
I bit my lips hard, conflicting. Right now, I wish I could run away from the trap I purposely walked into, but I know I can't.
I couldn't help having mixed feelings as I dragged my feet behind Wyatt. Perhaps Wyatt knew I was lying all along and purposely pretended not to, so he could trick me into the Power Axis pack.
Perhaps they'll finally kill me now. The more I think like this, the more chaotic my heartbeat is. I couldn't even focus on my surroundings.
"What's wrong with you?" Wyatt glared at me coldly, which made me gulp in fear. Tears pooled in my eyes.
"I… is it too late to leave now?" I questioned in a tiny voice. I swear that if he did let me leave, I'll scurry out of this place, never to look back.
"Leave where?" Wyatt stared at me with a slight frown.
My lips parted to explain myself, but before I could, a booming laughter filled the… uhm, we were currently in a passage that had a room facing each other. There were seven rooms on each side of the passage.
"Wyatt, you're back so soon. I hope you pass your first assessment as the new beta of the power Axis pack." A handsome man in his forties asked with a gentle smile on his face.
Beta Wyatt turned away from me and turned to the man, "Alpha Hudson." He bowed to the man.
My eyes widened in disbelief. Didn't rumors claim that Alpha Hudson is a potbellied and ugly man, how come the Alpha Hudson I'm seeing is a very handsome man with a carefree smile on his face?
"I told you not to call me Alpha anymore, it makes me feel as if I still carry the burden of the power Axis pack. Direct that title to Oswald." Alpha Hudson joked in a light-hearted manner.
Wyatt bowed to Alpha Hudson, "My bad, Alpha King." He said.
Alpha King Hudson nodded with satisfaction and turned to me, "Who is she? Your mate?" Alpha King Hudson asked with a grin, leaving me bewildered.
All the rumors I heard, were they fake? How can Alpha King Hudson be this carefree handsome man?
I quickly bowed to him while blushing furiously. How can he call Wyatt and me mate? Wyatt is so cold and scary.
Although he's handsome, my heart skipped a beat for him due to fear only.
Wyatt didn't glance at me, his face was calm as if he didn't hear Alpha King Hudson's words which made my expression switch to normal.
"No, Alpha King. Maia is someone I saved at the mountain. I'll introduce her properly in the office." He replied calmly.
Alpha King Hudson nodded his head calmly, opened the fourth door on the right side of the passage, and entered it.
Beta Wyatt didn't glance at me and followed after Alpha King Hudson. I quickly followed after him.
An agarwood scent drifted into my nose as soon as I stepped into the office. The scent wrapped around me from head to toe, making me more comfortable than I've ever been.
I stared straight into the low-key monotone office and saw a handsome man in his twenties sitting on an expensive chair. A beautiful lady was also sitting next to him, their hands holding each other like a perfect couple.
'Mate.' My wolf declared upon landing at the man which made it feel as if everything in the room had frozen to accompany my mate and I only.
Joyful emotions completely overwhelmed me, making me giddy with excitement. Finally, I've come across the mate I've been wishing for.
"Alpha Oswald, Luna Lorelei. I'm back from the mission." Beta Wyatt says calmly with a bow, interrupting my processing and chaotic thoughts.
Alpha Oswald nodded to Wyatt and stared back at my inquisitive gaze calmly. He has mismatched blue eyes at the right and black eyes at the left; a complex glint flickered past his eyes when our eyes became four.
In that minute, Alpha Oswald and I knew we were fated mates.
Even without touching him, pleasurable sparks were running through me, and I'm sure he must have been feeling the same thing.
'He's my mate. He's our mate,' Maia's words kept on resounding in my head until I finally understood the precarious situation I was in and I froze immediately.
It turns out that Alpha Oswald, the current Alpha of the biggest pack, is my mate, and not only that he already has his Luna!
I bit my lips hard to suppress the sob that threatened to spill past my lips and the urge to burst into tears. I've always wished for a mate who would acknowledge me, love me, and care for me no matter what storm we may pass through.Unfortunately, that said mate of mine isn't fated to be with me.Why moon goddess? Why is fate cruel to me? Why do I end up losing the things I need most?Alpha Oswald broke contact with me and looked away with a blank expression.My mood fell, and the room seemed to have no space for my presence, suffocating me. The floor seems to be spinning almost making my leg give way. Only the moon goddess knows how I ended up not doing so."Who's she?" Alpha Oswald questioned with a slight frown donning his impeccable handsome features.'Your mate,' Something in me wanted to cry out but unfortunately, I was too weak to do so. Instead, I could only fight the urge to cry because my mate didn't seem to have the intent to acknowledge me."Maia from Green Mist Pack," Wy
Even though I wanted to break away from the kiss, I couldn't and instead drew closer to him, my mate and I purred in delight—the temptation caused by the mate bond.Alpha Oswald's lips curled with mockery, yet he deepened the kiss. His hands reaching for my hair and running his hand through it jolted me awake.I pushed Oswald, parted from me, and glared at him. "What are you doing to me?" I yelled in fury.How dare he play tricks on me? Not only did he invite me over by stirring up Maia, but he dared to kiss me when he had a partner, and he was intent on kicking me out of the power axis.Oswald shrugged, his face was calm as if he wasn't the one who just cheated on his Luna. This man is simply a jerk and I can't believe that I was mated to such a person like him."A deep warning, mate." He says in that deep, sexy voice of his which weakens my resolve again. What's happening to me?"You don't want to be on my bad side." Alpha Oswald warned.I sighed knowing he was right but asking me t
They both exchanged pleasantries before Luna Queen turned to me."You must be the new lady Wyatt brought in." Luna Queen says with a gentle smile and sits on the sofa, instructing Nancy and me to do the same.My hands were stuck to my lap, and I nodded demurely. "Yes, Luna Queen.""I heard about your circumstances; I'm sorry for all you've been through." She says patiently and grabs a hold of my callus hand with her soft hand."Thank you, Luna Queen." I appreciated, and withdrew my hand quickly. I don't want her to feel suspicious of me. I didn't mention myself as being a slave, so I don't want her to be curious about the reason behind my callous hands. The lies about my identity are enough; I don't want to make another one in case it becomes hard to cover up.Luna Queen smiled and tilted her head. "You looked so identical to a childhood friend of mine. Unfortunately, she died a few years ago. She says and a trace of sadness flashes past Luna Queen's eyes.My heart skipped a beat. 'I
"Maia. Maia." Nancy called behind me. She was trying hard to run after me but unfortunately, she was unable to catch up which I know she won't.She couldn't!I've been used to running and hiding in the past few years; stealing food and running to my favorite yellow mountain to eat the meals.I've been used to trying to run away from the maids whenever they caught me or running from the pack members who intend to humiliate me all because I have once done them wrong when I was a princess.I won't deny it, I was arrogant during my parents' lifetime as the only princess and future Alpha, but everything came to a stop ever since their death. I became a slave, so I need to shelve my arrogance if I don't want to die of hunger.It was hard for me at first, to see my favorite uncle who promised to take the place of my parents in my life in taking care of me, only for him to ascend the throne and make my life a living hell.It silently began with ignoring me or punishing me for no reason or ask
“Why did you suddenly decide to be a maid?” Nancy asked me while making breakfast for the both of us in the pack kitchen. Except for Nancy and I, none were in the kitchen.I sat on the pack dining chair, finding everything surreal.I've been degraded to eating leftovers at the red flame pack servant's quarters. Now that I can eat freely without mockery, my heart speeds up.Although I was the one in charge of cooking, I was always strictly watched by the maid, so I wouldn't have a taste of it nor sneak any of it. Instead, they'll combine the leftovers and throw them at me, so it could be a blow to my ego.'They almost destroy our lives, we'll never let them go.' Maia scowled upon remembering the red flame pack.Many times, Maia always wanted to retaliate, being the hot and impatient omega wolf she was, but I always prevented her from doing so because we were weak then and were hoping my uncle would stick to his promise.Unfortunately, that bastard didn't.'We will.' I replied to her, c
Beta Wyatt nodded slightly to Lorelei, “Luna.”Oswald gave me a suggestive gaze as if to tell me to greet Lorelei, but I looked away and pretended not to comprehend the meaning behind his gaze.“I'm quite curious about who will accompany Beta Wyatt this time; every pack member is interested in it,” Lorelei said while holding Oswald's hand. “Or are you attending your show partnerless like previous ones?” She questioned with a faint teasing smile on her face.“That's against the rule, isn't it? As the Beta, you need to have a partner with you on every success you hold.” Alpha Oswald arched his brows and stated.Beta Wyatt nodded, looking calm. “I have one.” He revealed, which made us stare at him in disbelief.Lorelei looked stunned for a second, but her expression slipped, and a smile blossomed on her face again, “May I know who it is…”“It's a secret.” He brushed her off, but Lorelei let out a laugh filled with understanding.“Ok. I'm quite curious about it. I'll wait until then, I ho
I bit my lower lips and wrapped my hand around my almost-naked body with multiple and chaotic thoughts running through my mind.Fay and the other ladies' eyes roamed through my scarred body in disbelief.Their continuous shocked gasps filled my ears, making me more ashamed than I already was.Fay stepped forward, with different sad expressions on her face, “Maia, I'm so sorry. I never expected this. We never expected this.” Fay said, ashamed. Her hands reached out to me.“Don’t touch me,” I screamed, nearly breaking down in tears. Fay sighed and withdrew her hand.My arms were wrapped around me tightly. I turned my back toward them to hide the tears that were beginning to stream down my face.I bent over in a corner and cried out to myself.I never expected Fay to pull off my clothes forcefully, resulting in them seeing my scarred skin.The torture marks of all I've gone through in the red flame pack were still vivid on my skin, and that's the last thing I want anyone to see. Unexpect
"My mate, huh? Maybe he has someone he thought was more perfect than me?" I quietly whispered with a careless laugh to their hearing.One of the maids grabbed my shoulder hard and said seriously, "If there is a possibility of that, then your mate is blind because you're truly one of the most beautiful women I've ever met." She said and quickly covered her lips, which made me amused inwardly, only if she knew that my mate was their Alpha king.Her hands flew to cover her mouth. "Oops, sorry for the curse word." She apologized, and I shrugged it off nonchalantly.They were right after all. I am more beautiful than Lorelei, and Alpha Lorelei wasn't only dumb; he was blind.'Our mate isn't blind,' a provoked Maia growled at me.'Does that mean we are the ugly ones?' I teased her in return, which made her flare up.Maia scolded me a lot before she clarified with a grumble, 'Our perfect mate isn't blind, and we're the most beautiful women in the world.' After completing her words, she block
Oswald’s eyes fell on Filippa, and a dazzling smile appeared on his face. The first time he came across her, she smiled so sweetly and introduced herself to him with that sweet voice of hers; that seemed to be the turning point in his life. Even when she has no strength to play with him, he’ll tug at her hair and do anything to get her attention. That’ll result in Filippa sulking and chiding him more and more while glaring at him, yet he prefers seeing her make a reaction than simply being indifferent to him. And when Oswald set his eyes on her years later after she was brought into the pack by Wyatt. Seeing her pitiful gaze, Oswald knew she was sad to see Lorelei at his side. At first, Oswald tries to push Filippa away while feigning his dislike to make Lorelei's annoyance decrease so she does not want to harm Filippa. Back then, Oswald had wanted to send her out of the pack until the coast was clear and then bring her back after he settled things. However, he never expected
THIRD POVThe Power Axis Pack ground was crowded with numerous people, which included members of the Power Axis Pack, the red flame pack, the vampire clan, the witch clan, and other packs of the werewolf clan. The atmosphere is sweet and exceptionally filled with joy. The moon glowed down and shine its light at the pack ground. At the epicenter of the pack-ground was a dais filled with ancient tunes that trailed down to when the pack was first createdOn the dais stood Filippa, in a breathtaking white off-shoulder ballroom lace dress that was crafted from the finest silk. It flowed over her hourglass figure and cascaded into a train that trailed behind her The dress hugged her body and accentuated Filippa’s hourglass figure perfectly. The bodice was adorned with intricate hand-embroidered lace, diamonds, expensive stones, etc., Her long hair was parked in a bun and a unique crown rested atop her hair. Her golden eyes shine as they stare at her impeccably handsome mates—her powe
“Stay still, Filippa.” Asher expressed with a helpless sigh yet still patiently helped me put on my shoes despite all my attempts to run out of the mansion with any opportunity I got.After our joint mating a few months ago, I ended up becoming pregnant with a quadruplet. Due to that, the alphas decided to speed up our wedding and make it early so I would be able to go through the day without being too tired. Since the wedding will take place in less than a month, the wedding preparation and everything has gotten into a rush. Even the parents who were on holiday had to return to help with the preparation. And Arya, who recently moved to the vampire pack with Quincy, had already returned. And this time, Arya was also a month pregnant.Over the months I have finally gotten out of my hole and healed my trauma due to my partner’s care, and now I have become familiar with and interact with everyone. Moreover, the red flame pack was settled next to the power axis pack, and I made sur
I watched Asher carefully arrange important necessities of mine and Zeirk's into a black luggage box. Seeing the typically playful Asher being exceptionally serious sent my heart racing due to nervousness and excitement. After a month spent attending to Oswald, Wyatt and Rex’s feelings, the time Asher proposed was finally up, and now I have to leave with Asher to his residence. Well, Asher claimed that my first time with my mates was spent in my mates’ choice of place, so he’ll also be doing the same, bringing me to his residence. Furthermore, we'll be spending a month there.I ran into Wyatt’s embrace and rested my head in his embrace while shedding pitiful crocodile tears. I bit my lower lip and blinked pitifully, “Hubby, you really don’t need me?” I clung to Wyatt’s cufflink and cried out dramatically. Wyatt leaned forward and whispered into my ear. “Filippa, you can't evade this.” He simply responded, his words meaning that the quicker I go with Asher, the quicker it takes to
I took a long and scented warm bath, applied my routine, and put on a silky gown that fell just below my buttock—the arm of the gown was strapless. I purposely tied my hair above my head to reveal my straight and smooth pale neck just like they always wanted. My lips subconsciously curved up in a sweet smile, and I hummed with delight. The guys will definitely love it. Suddenly, I heard car tires hiss against the asphalt as they eased to a stop.Even without checking, I knew my mates arrived at the same time. They must have held a conversation before returning to the alpha's mansion.I took a last look in the mirror, flashed myself a confident smile, picked up my pajamas jacket, and draped it over my short gown. Immediately, I made my way out of the room. Upon seeing me, Arya's eyes lit up, and she threw her thumbs up while dramatically exaggerating, “Whoa. I have seen you countless times, yet my mind still gets blown away by how breathtaking you are.” She confessed in a breathl
I squinted my eyes beautifully, exhaled, and lazily swung my legs, my body leaning into the sofa. Life like this is very sweet and leisurely. I must have been the most leisure Luna in history. I placed my hands on Zierk, raised him, and began to play with him while smacking playful kisses on his cheeks. Since two weeks ago, after the fight with Lorelei and the witch tribe, my mates and the whole tribe have been extremely busy. Right now, the fight between the witch clan, vampire clan, and werewolf clan has come to an end, and the tribes have now become one.Due to this, Rex had to return to the vampire tribe to make proper arrangements on his own part. After the fight, Wyatt returned to the witch clan with their members and took charge of cleaning the witch clan and assigning a capable person as their king. For years while Conan and Lorelei were in charge of the clan, all sorts of corruption had run rampant over the tribe. Wyatt was the one to oversee the punishment and made
Upon seeing me stop my actions, my parents exhaled in relief and cried out in response, “Baby, we missed you.” They confessed in a voice filled with exceptional longing. I sniffed, still stunned so much that I couldn’t move a foot. “I thought you were dead. I. How were you alive? Why haven’t you come to see me all this time? Do you know how miserable I was? I was very miserable.” I confessed and let the tears slip past my eyes, watching every one of my parent’s actions. My parent's eyes landed on Lorelei’s figure behind me, and they began to approach me while responding, “That Miss over there saved us. She had been the one taking care of us all this time. Please let her go, and we can leave to enjoy our life again. Don’t you always want to become our princess? We’ll let you be. From now on, it’ll just be us: you, your mom, and I…” They whispered in that soft and gentle tone that unconsciously made me stay rooted in my feet and made my heart surge with emotions. Upon hearing what
Immediately, the air formed into an invisible, thin, long, sharp, spear-like object that darted toward me with accurate and lethal precision. I snorted and quickly extended my hands to draw a circle in front of me; the circle became a gaping hole that took in the flying spear-like objects before closing. I stretched my hands and pointed my fingers at Lorelei. A hurricane immediately formed in front of Lorelei, the hurricane tempest alternating with freezing coldness and burning fire. The hurricane immediately swallowed Lorelei up, and it was only after a few minutes that she was able to break out. Lorelei's whole person was now unruly and her hair was completely tousled I smirked upon realizing something. Although Lorelei wanted to hide it, she was vividly hurt by Rex's actions.Even though she had already produced another wrist, it was actually fake, and she hadn't managed to grasp using the wrist well.Moreover, Rex had used ancient power to take her down. There's a high chan
Zierk’s tears coupled with the trio’s roars seemed to touch something in me. I began to feel the chaotic power force dwindling and merging at a fast rate. The blood on my skin stopped flowing and dried out. I began to heal, and my rationality began to slip back. Different experiences and histories run through my mind. I have successfully overcome Lorelei’s plan!“Wyatt. Oswald, Asher. You can't.” I roared loudly and stood up. The power overflowing me was so much that I let out a lethal and feral growl that resounded and shook the power axis pack uncontrollably. It was after letting it out three times that I calmed down a bit. My eyes fell on Lorelei, who was stunned about how things could change so fast. I sneered coldly. “Isn't it bad for a senior generation to bully the young ones? You are truly pathetic.” I sneered coldly. I focused on myself, and I discovered that the four powers had become one. I have finally become one with my mate. My strength heightened, my vision s
