Reed’s pov

(22 years back)

“No, you cheated.” I giggled as Jean surpassed me at the last moment in the run and reached the lake before me. I put my hands on my knees trying to even my laboured breaths. She ran fast. Faster than me, no matter how much I tried to run faster than her, she always wins.

“I didn’t cheat you did. You take on the lead before we even started.” She said and sit beside the lake. The wind was kissing her face, her hairs were dancing in the air. her white skin was flawlessly taking in the light. She was beautiful but not more than my mama.

I sit beside her. “Jean, one day I will defeat you in every game you taught me.” I said full of myself. Something flickers through her eyes, the same expression I saw every time in my mama’s eyes when I told her I am not a child now.

I turned to look and the sun was already setting down, soon it will be the time of dusk. I

    Esma’s pov Present time… “Then?” I asked when he finally stopped talking. We returned to his room. I was sure August needed the privacy with Diana after the little incident. He was more concerned for her safety than for me. I don’t blame him for that. She is his mate. Also, I didn’t want to leave Reed especially when after so much efforts he was finally talking to me. the thick shell he surround himself in was finally cracking. He was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the sidelamp busy in his own mind. I didn’t want to push him, everything he told since now was impossible to believe if I haven’t seen most of it in the visions already. I have seen the pain; I have seen his sufferings. I have seen his powers and his vengeance. “I confronted Jean. Her name was Moona, she was the moon goddess, can you believe my luck? then I tried to meet Alpha Andrew and when I saw his face, there I feel it, there was so

    Reed’s pov “Why are you here? I don’t need a counsellor.” I sighed deeply, getting annoyed for not having some personal time alone for myself. I don’t want to talk to anyone. “I know you don’t.” Diana stopped and sit right next to me on the ground. I look at her from the corner of the eye. None of us said anything. the silence was deafening. But… somehow, I liked it. with Diana I couldn’t care less about being judged. She had already seen me at my worst. But with Esma, I can’t tell. I feel her getting intimidated, scared even terrified through the mate bond. on the top of that, I can’t deal with the pity she had in her eyes. “Where’s your mate?” I asked finally when I was sure she won’t talk first. Diana is complete opposite from what she looked. She looked simple and sweet but she had shades. maybe this was the only thing we had in common. Maybe that’s why we can understand each other so better. She is like a sister I never ha

    Esma’s pov “Hello?” I hollered in the darkness. “Is anyone there?” I called out again but didn’t get the answer either this time. I don’t know where I was standing. Hell, I don’t even know how I came here at the first place. It was darkness everywhere. I looked around for something. Anything. As if in cue, a light dimmed yet bright enough to catch my attention come from the farther most corner. I walked in the same direction, stumbling and tripping, I finally reached the light. I felt rejoiced as I made a move to touched the light but it vanished in front of me like a mist. I groaned as I was again left in darkness. “This is what you get when you’ll make a decision to be with him.” I finally heard a strange voice which didn’t belong to my head. I tried to comprehend, trying to locate the source but to no avail. I felt like my legs were frozen at their spot. I heard the same voice again but this

    Thank God I packed extra clothes in case our meeting extended. I quickly picked out a white dress shirt and denim jeans. My last dress was already ruined when Reed took me in the woods. I bit my lip as the flashes of us fucking across the lake passed in front of my eyes. I don’t want this shirt to get messy. It is one of my favourites. I already changed two dresses for a day. I quickly get undressed and wore the shirt and the jeans before facing in the mirror. Oh, my hairs look like an angry bird’s nest. I was like this in front of him? I shake my head; this is no time for embarrassment. I braided my hairs in no time before sprinting downstairs. I was excited like a teenage girl who was first time going with his boyfriend on a date. Although, I already gone on a date with Reed before. I stopped abruptly at the final stair when I neither find the car nor him. I looked around and in mere seconds Reed swiftly drove the car in front of me and opened the door. I smiled and get myself i

    Light fills the room, coaxing me from deep sleep to wakefulness. I stretch out and open my eyes before walking near to look through the window. It’s a beautiful morning, the sun was peeking up through the clouds. It was indeed a view. The bed was empty much to my dismay. Reed was already long gone, his scent was fading, he didn’t wake me before leaving. The thought make me sad for a minute. Yesterday was so much fun. We talked and talked till the manager of the restaurant himself came to tell us that it was too late and he had to shut the bar. I came to know so much about him. His favourite things, how he despised coffee, which I would like to change his opinion on. How he love to read, his love for literature, which I can already guess from the giant library he had back in the castle. He had a huge collections of charlotte Brontë, Virginia wolf and of course Jane Austin. Alpha Reed Xander is a mercurial man but with astonishing talents. Still one thin

    “Emmy?” I heard him calling me again. I shut the book hurriedly. fuck if he saw the book, he won’t sit without getting a perfect excuse from me to have this book. he is much more stubborn than me when it comes to find something he suspects fishy. “I know you are inside. I can feel your presence duh.” He said lamely getting bored from the other side of the door. I put the book back in the bag and slide it under the bed back to its position. I sighed and open the door to find him standing in front of me, checking the bag, the delivery guy left on my door, drinking from my coffee. my breakfast! “Why were you taking so time to open the door?” he asked entering in the room, not bothering to look in my direction. He sit on the bed and empty the bag slowly, putting all the items out. I snatched my cup from his hand. “That’s mine and this too. Order your own food.” I gro

    Esma’s pov August and Diana had already left the motel, leaving me and other remaining alphas. I stand and stared at the gate, August’s car leaving the Noman’s land, disappearing before my eyes. I don’t know why but for some reason, I was now regretting my decision of staying here. I could go with them and Diana could easily open the portal for me, but then I promised Reed I will wait for him. plus, there are other alphas here. Someone had to be here, it is not the right time to get selfish and think about ourselves. I sighed and turned back heading to my room. it was noon now but the sun was covered by the clouds, maybe it would rain. I missed rain. As if in cue the hair on my skin prickled with the uneasy feeling. My wolf as if sensing danger straightened her sense, I didn’t turn back and continued walking straight. I could feel someone was following me but I couldn’t smell any scent.

    Esma’s pov There are seven continents in the world. separated by sea, ocean and mountains. Among them, there are countless factions and small packs.However, there are four heavenly packs who guides and governs them and are literally called themselves the powerhouses.The blue moon pack governed by us in the south. My father and his ancestors were the one who settled themselves hundreds of years ago and established themselves as one of the powerhouses.Then there’s Black claw pack in the north, the most ancient and the most powerful pack, rich in diversity and resources from the very start.To the west, the unorthodox faction of Rogues which are not governed by the laws of the packs and are referred as barbarians. They long lost their sanity and ability to change themselves back to humans.And lastly, there is the Mountain keepers in the east. It is the pack of Dumeny.The world of werewolves have been divided among these four great forces for hundreds of years and the border are

Asher appeared before me in no time.“You called?” he said no beating around the bush with him.I sighed and told him everything we discussed with Dumeny.He listened to everything in silence.“I have heard about this city. If Diana is there, it won’t be easy to get her out.” he said and I hummed. I already know about it. To rescue a witch from the city of the witch hunters.“We will think of something.” I said although I was assuring myself.“What are your orders for me?” he said. “I will follow to hell although we just came back from there.” he said a

Long time no see.” I said as I saw him standing in the middle of the hall in my house.Last time I saw him, it was the alpha’s meeting and after that I was kidnapped by Ravenna and the witches.I never heard from him after that. Hell, I didn’t saw him after that.“Same for me.” he said and out of sudden he rushed towards me and pulled me in his arms.“I am sorry you have to go through this all by your own.” he said and hugged me tightly. I can tell he was genuinely concerned for me and I hugged him back. I really missed a friend.We ended the hug and he sit in the other side of the table.August soon returns with the beer cans and I rolled my eyes.My brother knows me best. He reads my mind. He passed me the can which I took happily. He sat beside me and we just enjoyed our beers for a while.“Look Emmy.

But I was also his son. the son whom he sent assassins to take care of.The son who lost his mother, and for what reason? Because his mate come to know about the existence of his affair?“Call the doctor, will you?” he shouted at me and I sighed.“We are in the abandoned land of mine, in the middle of nowhere, the city is three hours from here and I have already called for the doctor. But he won’t be here before the morning.” I said and he just look disdain.The weather is fucked up and all the roads are closed. How much one could try, the doctor would only come by morning.“That fucking bastard. I swear I will kill him with my own hands.” he cursed out aloud and suddenly my chest hurts.This man right here, was concern for someone totally stranger to him, he was concerned for the witch and was cursing out a god?

A shadow only able to come in presence of the source of light.To me the moon has always been the light I was chasing.“Lost in thoughts?” I didn’t want to look back to know whose voice it was. I clenched my jaw tightly as I keep on staring in front of me.Andrew walked inside the room and I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. my whole body tensed up. My heart started to beat faster. Out of fear? Out of surprise? Out of idea of fighting?I don’t know the reason. Maybe all three of them. Never in my life I have ever been able to win against Andrew, my father. Yes, I killed him. I killed him with my own hands and if granted the same opportunity twice, I will not waste a single breath before killing him again.I know he hates me.
