When I woke up, the room was darker than it had been when I fell asleep. I looked over at the time, seeing it was midnight. My stomach growled with hunger, so I got up to see if I could find the kitchen. I walked the halls, trying to be quiet in case anyone was sleeping. I walked for what felt like hours when it was around ten minutes. I was just about to give up hope and come to terms with the fact I was lost when I heard voices having a heated conversation. One of the voices belonged to Brax, the other voice I didn't recognise. My feet started moving towards the voices before I even realised what I was doing.I sneak down the dark hallway, following the voices until I saw a beam of light coming from one of the doors. Making my way to it, I stop outside. The door is cracked open a few centimetres. I can see Brax standing behind a desk with an angry look on his face as he talks to someone."what were you thinking? Bring her here. You have endangered the whole pack," the other man's vo
I locked myself away in my room for weeks, reading book after book one, all things magical, only ever leaving to get more books or eat. I stayed away from Brax as best I could. I could tell every time I ran from him, it hurt him, but I wasn't ready to talk to him yet or even be near him. I needed to learn more about myself first before I worried about what was going on between me and him. I did find a few things in the book Of a Girl that was half wolf and half witch. Most of those books just left me with more questions than I started with, so whenever I found a book with it in it, I'd put it to the side with the others for me to return to another time. The book that had called to me when I went back to get more books it was gone, which I was disappointed by, but I didn't give it much thought.I've grown to like Eve. She told me a lot about herself and is helping me learn about werewolves and all the different things. I know she finds it crazy that I'm one and knows nothing about it,
After I'd cooled off in a nice cold shower, I got dressed and made my way downstairs to go and join Brax for dinner, as he asked. Walking into the dining room, I found Brax standing by the table, looking nervous. I stood there for a second, taking it all in. he slowly turned; I'm guessing he had smelt me cause I knew that I hadn't made any noise."I didn't think you were coming" he smiled with excitement to see me. He held out his hand, gesturing for me to take a seat on the chair he was pulling out for me.I let my feet take the lead, leading me to the chair. As soon as I was seated, he pressed a soft kiss on my temple, saying softly, "You look beautiful."Making me warm inside with his words. he took his seat at the head of the table right next to me. He sat there staring at me, making my cheeks burning pink. Eve came out carrying two plates quickly, putting them down before returning to the door she had just entered. I picked up my fork, pushing the food around on my plate."do you
I went with Eve, who helped me tend to my wounds before showering. I was nervous about talking to Brax about what I had just learned. But I knew I had to find out the truth about him. With my strong feelings for him, I need to learn more about him before I fall harder and possibly end up hurt.Making my way back into the dining room to find Eve waiting for me; she led me down to his office, opening the door for me to go inside. I stood there for a second; a part of me wished she could come with me. Taking a deep breath, I go in. Braxs is standing on the other side of his desk; the first thing I notice is the book from the library, the one that had drawn me to it. Standing there staring at it, I can tell he knows I'm confused about why he has that book. Before either of us speak, he places the book on the table, pushing it towards me. I look at him with confusion before reaching out and taking the book from the table, running my hand over the front cover."that book is about your pack"
the two of them went back and forth with their ideas on how to fix this; neither of them could agree on anything. I sat there in silence, listening."you can not mark her now, not after your brother has claimed her as his. If you do, then you will start a war, and if you don't hand her over, we will be in the same boat.""I will not bow down to my brother" Brax was becoming increasingly frustrated with every passing second."We can't hide her either, alpha. I told you, you shouldn't have brought her here" the older man was flicking through a folder that he had brought with him. From what I understand, the folder is full of rules for all wolf packs."your only option is to hand her over. If you don't, your brother will kill you and take over this pack. Do you really wish that upon your members you know what your brother is like?"Before Brax could have another outburst, I spoke. "I'll go with him."They both turned to me in shock. I could tell the older man was happy with what I had sa
I fell asleep in his arms. I had never felt more at peace and safe in my life. I never wanted this to end, but I knew I would soon leave to go and be with his brother. I wanted to take back what I said and find a way that I didn't have to leave, but I knew I couldn't stay. Too many people would get hurt if I stayed. In the morning, I woke up expecting to find Brax asleep beside me, but I was disappointed when he wasn't there. I looked around the room, searching for him. he was nowhere, and neither was blue. Dragging myself out of bed, I'm a little sore from what I did last night. I go and shower to freshen up for the day before making my way downstairs to go make a coffee. Eve was standing in the dining room setting up for breakfast she smiled when she saw me. "good morning. Alpha told me to tell you he had to rush off this morning to deal with a problem at the pack house, but he will be back shortly."I smiled at her, going over and taking a seat at the table where she had already
He took me around the pack house after we were done talking, showing me all the different places where people worked and how they all helped make the pack run smoothly. No job was any less important than the other in Brax's eyes. He explained that without the Servants and maids, the people in the guard would not be able to spend as much time training and doing their jobs because they would have to cook and clean up after themselves. I liked the way he ran the place, treating everyone as equals. No one, no matter the place in the pack, ever went without. He led me back to his office when we were done. Closing the door and locking it behind him. He stared at me with desire in his eyes, telling me that he wanted me right here and now. He covered the room in two steps, stopping inches away from me, our bodies pressed against each other; looking down at me, his hand came up, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. Just with that innocent touch, I felt my legs becoming moist. Leaning down
I got home and headed straight for my room, getting the shower; a wave of emotions hit me all at once as I came to terms with the fact that I was leaving and heading into the unknown with a man that, from what I had seen and heard was nothing but evil. My heart was breaking because I was leaving Brax and not knowing if I would ever get to see him again. My feelings for him are strong, and I know they're real. Tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably; I've always been good at controlling my emotions until now. Everything over the past few months had just become too much. I wished to be at home with my family, whom I miss more than anything. Even if they aren't my blood and their kind are born to kill my kind, they are still the people who raised me and kept me safe for the first eighteen years of my life. I wanted to hug my mum and have my dad tell me everything would be okay. I even missed my stupid brother. We'd all agreed when I'd left them only a few weeks ago that I wouldn't contac

Lunas povThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting gentle shadows across the room.

Our journey had been one of trials and triumph, of darkness and light, yet here we were, stronger for all we had endured.As I reflected on our life, a soft knock on the door brought me back to the present. "Come in," I called gently, watching as Daisy peeked through the door, her face lit with the innocence of childhood."Mum, are you ready for breakfast?" she asked, her voice a sweet melody of excitement.I nodded, feeling the pang of joy her presence always sparked. "I'll be right out, darling," I assured her, watching as she slipped away, her laughter echoing down
Lunas Pov5 years laterThe sun hung low in the sky, casting golden hues across the gathering. The pack was buzzing with excitement, the air thick with joy and the mingling scents of family and home. My hand rested comfortably on my growing belly, and a sense of contentment filled every corner of my being. Glancing at Brax, who stood beside me with a smile that lit up his face, I couldn't help but let my thoughts drift back to everything that brought us here.Five years. It felt like an eternity, and yet like a fleeting moment at the same time.

That realization transformed my world, leading me to a life filled with love, trials, and unexpected magic.Brax noticed my tear and squeezed my hand gently, his touch steady and reassuring.

The chorus of my pack, a symphony of belonging, reminded me that home was a place of hearts, not walls."Luna and Brax!" Nick boomed, his voice commanding the noise to hush. His eyes twinkled with the warmth of a father figure reunited with his son. "Let's welcome back our Alpha, who's fought his way back to us."Luna squeezed my hand, a silent reassurance that her strength was mine to lean on.

"And I promise, no matter what challenges lie ahead, we will face them together."The world around me blurred slightly as tears unspoken moistened my eyes. Years of imprisonment had reshaped my soul—etched scars deeper than visible, but far
Brax's povAs the first light of day seeped into the room, casting a warm glow over Luna and me, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over me. The night had been a testament to our love, a reaffirmation of the bond that had withstood every storm.I watched as Luna lay beside me, her breathing slow and even, her dark hair splayed out like a halo against the pillow. She looked peaceful, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, so did I.

Luna's POVThe night was silent, the house settling around us with a familiar creak here and a gentle sigh there. Brax’s closeness was a tangible comfort, a warmth that seeped into the marrow of my bones, chasing away the chill that had settled during those years of separation.As Brax and I sat on the edge of the bed, the space seemed to pulse with energy, a gossamer thread of tension weaving its way through the air. His presence was a steady beacon, a reassuring reminder that we were here—to face the ghosts of our past and the infinite potential of our future.He reached out, running his fingers through the strands of my long black hair, the touch achingly tender. "I never forgot how your hair felt," he murmured, a hint of awe in his voice. His words were a gentle balm, each syllable soaking into my skin with the promise of something new growing from the heartache.I smiled faintly, my heart swelling with love. "I missed you every day," I admitted, my voice soft, infused with truth.
As we walked through the door of what should have been home, the familiar scent of wood and fire warmed my senses, but there was a heaviness surrounding us, a weight only time apart could place on us. Brax's hand brushed against mine, a silent anchor in the sea of emotions swirling within. We were home, yet the ground beneath us felt unsteady, the space between us filled with years of separation, of longing and uncertainty. as they others left to give us space allowing us the space we needed to mend the fractures of our past.As Seb turned to leave, his footsteps hesitant on the wooden floor, something within me urged to bridge the chasm that had silently grown between us. "Seb," I called, my voice barely above a whisper, yet it ricocheted off the walls with enough force to stop him in his tracks.

Lunas povWith Daisy still and silent in my arms, every heartbeat felt like a countdown, every breath a whisper of hope against a cacophony of doubt. I pressed her closer, feeling the gentle thud of her heartbeat sync with my own, a silent message that connected us beyond words. Around us, the world was a muted blur, the woods standing like silent sentinels to our moment of desperate longing.The others—Brax, Seb, Nick—hovered nearby, their presence a fragile shield against despair.

Just like her mum." His words were a balm, soothing some of the rawness within, a testament to the resilience passed on from me to my daughter. Daisy had always been different—uni
Luna's POVWhen consciousness slowly drifted back to me, the world was a blurred edge of shadows and whispers. Pain clawed through every fibre of my being, leaving me weak and frozen in its tight grip. The darkness had been so consuming, a cacophony of voices that resisted every attempt at awakening. Yet, here I was, lying awake in a world that tilted between reality and dreams.Warmth enveloped me like a cocoon cutting through the cold. I blinked, trying to dispel the haze obscuring my vision, and then I saw him. Seb's face hovered above me, his expression etched with profound relief and something more—love?
