Migumi's POV"What the—" I gasped beneath my breath.The door opened with a creak, and I stepped out to be greeted by a scene of utter chaos: snarling bodies in a whirlwind, fangs and claws the main weapons in this chaotic scenario.In a darkest magic attack, the rogue eyes attack each other in wild, erratic abandon. That is quite a disgusting spectacle, some twisted parody of a pack hunt."Something's wrong. No normal werewolf would do this," I said, stating the obvious. Just from seeing them all attack each other, I can already tell something controls them.They are under the witch's influence!" Nyx blurted, making me nod my head in agreement.This is something I know so well.My heart was pounding against my chest. As with fear and determination a drumbeat went on. I have to do something. I have to stop this madness. I can't just stand here, watch them kill each other. I have to help them!!!Then I remembered the missi
(Migumi's POV)"We're here," I muttered to myself, the sleek silver car hummed beneath me.My mind was racing, a storm of thoughts and anxieties. The plague, the return of the darkness, the danger that loomed over the capital. and Aiden, trapped in the heart of it all.I can only imagine how they must be feeling now.I have to get there as soon as possible.Nyx, my wolf, picked up on my angst. Her mixed trepidation and resolve climbed inside of me. "The witch," he growled low guttural. "This is her doing. She's back and she is strong as never before."I knew she was right. We were thinking the same thing.The plague, the chaos, the resurgence of the darkness-it all pointed back to her. And Diana, her pawn, her puppet, was somewhere at the heart of it all.She's doing everything in her power to destroy us."We have to find her," I whispered, desperation tingeing my voice with urgent appeal. "We have to stop her before she
(Migumi’s POV)It is well over a day since we have left the pack to be on our way to the capital. Well, it will be a pretty long journey ahead, and I am really not expecting just to go there.As we sped through the dense forest, the scent of pine and earth filled my senses.I made myself focus on the rhythm of my breathing.Are we there yet?" Cyrus asked, a tinge of impatience in his tone. Probably will be his first time away from his pack. I won't blame him.He has been a great pack leader ever since."Yes," I replied, attempting to sound nonchalant. "Check that the warriors are following us from behind. We do not want to leave anyone behind. It is a long ride.The urge was unmistakable, as if it coursed in my veins; and my mind was like a factory of what-ifs. I barely wrapped my head around the battle with Anthony when Aiden's voice boomed strong but laced with undercurrents of worry inside my mind. "Migumi, can you hear me?" his voice boomed within the hollow of our mind-link, whic
(Migumi’s POV)As the guards took her away, I felt guilty, helpless. I couldn't save them all. What I could do, though, was to try. What I could do was fight. What I could do was to protect this city and the people in it from the menace closing in to consume them.I turned and walked away, my heart heavy with the weight of my responsibility.She said that the city was reduced to shambles, the plague spread, and the darkness closed in. Yet, I refused to give in, to allow Diana to win. I would fight for this city, its people, Aiden. The next second Aiden was running up to me in alarm and grabbed me in a firm embrace. "Migumi," he whispered, his voice filled with relief. "You're back.""I'm here," I said, my voice shaking with emotion. "I'm here to help."We drew back, our eyes locked in a mute exchange of concern and reassurance. He was pale, his eyes shadowed with fatigue, but his gaze held a flicker of hope."The plague," he said, his voice heavy with despair. "It's worse than before.
(Migumi’s POV)The smell of sickness hangs heavy in the air as I make my way across the grounds of healers. Low moans of infected werewolves reverberate through the space.My heart dries up with every step, the view gnaws at me. So many of my people lying helpless and weak. Even the healers-those so composed are frantic, barely making a dent in this implacable plague.I am scanning the crowded area; my eyes catch one face: a frail, elderly woman whom I met earlier today and begged me to save her son.Slumped against a tattered blanket, ashen, she was huffing shallow breaths. Inside, my stomach curls in an uncomfortable way, but I force myself to walk over, kneeling beside her."Is there something you want?" I ask, my voice soft trying to mask the fear gnawing at me.The old woman flutters her eyes open and looks up at me with a weak, grateful smile. "Thank you for… coming," she says with hardly audible tones. "Please… save my son."The words cut through me, and I open my mouth to reas
(Migumi’s POV)“Where is the King?” I asked the nearest warrior beside me. He looked at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes. I know that this plague is affecting them as much as it is affecting me.But we can't just cry about it. We have to actually do something to stop it.“Your Majesty is at the square, Luna. He’s attending to the ill people of the Kingdom. Should I let him know that you're looking for him?” he asked, his hand gripping his sword tightly.I gave him a plain smile.“It’s alright,” I said, looking at the highest platform in the area where I plan to release my powers.“You can do it,” my wolf whispered inside my head.For the last time, I glanced at the werewolves who were wailing in pain. I can't see them like this. It pains me to see them this way. I have to do something, even if it means losing a part of me.I was about to go up to the platform when I felt a hand grab me. I turned to look at the man who stopped me, and my eyes watered when I saw Aiden.“You should
(Migumi’s POV)[At Night]Aiden and I found ourselves at the comfort of our garden. I was on the patio, a glass of wine beside me, when he approached me.“It's cold out,” he whispered softly in my ears, sending a tingling sensation in my skin.My lips curved into a smile as I turned around to circle my hands around his neck. His gaze is warm, his eyes filled with a tenderness that makes my heart flutter. He leans in, his lips brushing against mine in a soft, lingering kiss. It's a kiss that speaks of longing, of a deep connection that runs between us.I never thought I needed this.The time I spent alone in the forest, trying to find my destiny as a moon wolf. I have encountered a lot of things.Things I wished I hadn't done, but glad I did.It felt hellish to be far from him."Migumi," he whispers against my lips, his voice husky with desire. "I've missed you."I smile, my fingers tracing the lines of his jaw. "I missed you too, Aiden."But the moment is shattered by a cough behind m
(Migumi’s POV)I found myself beneath him, trapped in his arms. I could feel his hardness brushing against my legs, and I pressed myself to him intentionally.I felt his lips smirked between our kisses.“You're so wild tonight…” he whispered softly. I opened my eyes to look at him.With a seductive smile, I wrapped my arms around his neck. This must be the most comfortable position I’ve ever been in a while.Just being under him…“I just missed you a lot,” I whispered back.He gave me a soft kiss.The next thing I know, his hands are already starting to travel all over my body. My back arched as I felt his lips go down to my neck and to my flat tummy.“Ughh…”A lustful moan escaped my lips.His kisses trail down more to what's hiding in between my legs. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he spread my legs gently from side to side.“You ready?” he asked naughtily.I pulled myself up, using my elbows to lean on the bed. I gave him a flirtatious smile.“Do you really have to ask that?
