Today is the day that I'm finally moving out and starting my life.I got into a college that, if I'm honest, I don't even remember applying to after high school. I didn't plan on going to college because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, but I guess somewhere along the line, I sent an application in, and I got in. My brain has been all over the place lately, so it doesn't surprise me that I forgot about it. I'm going to study English lit. I want to be a writer. The college is three hours from home, so I'm a little scared. I've never been that far away from home before, and I've never gone anywhere without my mum and dad. I'm so excited for some freedom, though, and to work out who I am. Mum and Dad got me an apartment only a short walk from the school. I was happy to stay in the dorm room, but they thought it was best that I had my own space and stayed away from all the bad influences of dorm life. Plus, I get to take Blue with me, which I wouldn't have been able to do
Right after I stopped being in shock, I called Mum and Dad to thank them and ensure they hadn't made a mistake with where I was living. They sounded shocked but told me that there was no mistake at all. I can't help but feel like there's something there hiding from me. I don't spend too much time thinking about it, though, cause I'm too busy enjoying living in this amazing place. I also called Kelly ten times to ensure I was in the right place. She laughed every time and told me to stop worrying and enjoy it. I've explored the place, finding a pool and garden on the roof where I like to spend a lot of time. I don't have access to the other floors, so I haven't gone on them, but the strange thing is I haven't seen anyone else around like it's always just me, Nick and Kelly. Whenever I ask if other people live here, they both laugh and say of course they do then change the subject. I still haven't been able to shake the feeling that I've forgotten something I can't think of what it cou
The rest of the day was pretty boring. I went to my classes blue, waiting outside each one. When the day was over, I rushed home to tell Kelly and Nick that I'd been invited to a party. I'm sure they didn't care, but they were nice and acted like they did. Nick offered to drive me so I could have a few drinks if I wanted, which I accepted. I also told them how people kept telling me I smelt amazing. They just said I should take it as a compliment.I went upstairs to get ready, going through the walk-in to find something to wear. I pulled out a light blue short sun dress with thin straps, put that on and taking a look in the mirror. I loved it but thought that maybe it was showing too much boob, but before I left home, I made a promise to myself that I would step out of my comfort zone a little, which meant I was wearing this dress. I paired it with tan sandals, then went off to do my hair and makeup. I let my hair out, leaving it in its normal wavy state and decided to wear just a lit
I can't shake the feeling that I know him from somewhere. But no matter how hard I think, I can't work it out. And there is no way that I would have forgotten a face like his. he led me into the kitchen, going to the fridge, got a bottle of water out for me and undone it before handing it to me. "drink that, then ill make you a better drink."I swallowed deeply, trying to hide how attracted I was to him. The more I stared at him, the more my cheeks burned pink. Taking the water from him, I took a big sip in hopes it would settle me. "Thanks," I said when I was done. I had never been this nervous around someone before.He had already made the drink he had promised me. Handing that over to me before taking a drink, I asked, " So, do you go to school here?"He turned around, leaning against the bench behind him—shaking his head.Taking a sip of the drink, I had to stop myself from spitting it back out. It was straight tequila with the tiniest bit of lime in it. I struggled but managed to
I went inside, closing the door behind me. Turning my back to it, I slid down to the ground. I was on some kind of high; I had never had someone make me feel this way before. After a second of sitting there, the feeling that I had forgotten something returned; I hadn't noticed that it had gone away early, which I thought was strange. Blue sat there staring at me. "He was just amazing." I put my hands up to my face and let out a happy groan. "I have never in my life felt that way about someone or had them make me feel this way."Blue stood up, turned and walked away like he was over my rambling. "Okay, sorry, I get it you don't want to hear about" I got up, going into my room and changed into a black silk nightgown. I didn't want to have a shower because I never wanted to wash the feeling of his hands touching me off my skin. Crawling into bed, I closed my eyes and dreamed about him all night. I needed to see him again; I'm unsure how to make that happen. I woke up in the morning
After an hour of talking to them and trying to convince them that I was okay, I decided to go for a walk. It was right on dark. They tried to stop me from going; I made it clear that I was okay and I just needed space. The night was cold, but the moon was full and bright in the sky. I loved the feeling of the moonlight beaming down on me. I walked along the streets until I reached the edge of the woods. I stood there staring into them. It was like they were calling for me to go in there. I took a step closer. Blue growled, stepping in front of me and trying to stop me. "It's okay, I'll be fine", I assured him. I took another step, and a voice came flashing into my head. "Don't do it, little princess" I stopped looking around, making sure that there was no one around and that the voice was in my head. When I couldn't see anyone, I took another step forward. A hand wrapped itself around my wrist, pulling me back. I screamed, spinning around to see who was holding on to. My eyes looke
BraxI laid there watching her walk away, not being able to do anything because of the pain I was in I have never felt anything like it before. Not even the first time i shifted into a wolf. Every inch of my body screamed in pain. I felt our bond break. I have no idea why, though, and this pain was nothing like the pain I felt when I broke my bond with my first mate. Once she was gone, I struggled to my feet, knowing that I had to get to her. Something horrible was happening to her, and even though our bond was broken, I still love her with every part of me, and I was scared that I could lose her forever. All the power she has courseing through her body now is enough to kill the strongest monsters. I mind-linked Nick to see if she had gone home. He got back to me immediately, telling me what was happening there. I shifted into my wolf and let it take over to get me there faster. The ground was shaking i knew that she was going it. I knew the energy that she was sending out would dra
Blair The last thing I remember was telling everyone to leave, and everything went black. I don't think I want to know what happened. But I feel different like some kind of evil is inside me now. Brax carried me to bed, laying me down. He went to leave, but I begged him to stay. He makes me feel safe. He makes me feel like the evil inside of me can't get me while he's holding me. I feel different towards him, though, like I'm no longer drawn to him, and when I asked him why, he just said our bond was broken, but that didn't matter to him because he would never stop loving me. I went to sleep with him holding me close to him. I was afraid to fall asleep, but my body was so tired I didn't have a choice. When I woke up, he was gone, so I dragged myself out of bed and went to find him. Walking out of my room, my family and Brax talked in the living room. Brax was the first one to notice me standing to come to me. "You shouldn't be out of bed", he started to try to lead me back into m

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. A single tear slipped down my cheek as I remembered the moment that changed everything—the day I discovered I wasn't just an ordinary human. 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.

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. I reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, marveling at the simple truth that she was here, with me, after everything we had endured.The past years had been hell one that i thought i would never escape but yet here i was with the one that my heat would always belong to in my arms. i had been to scared to sleep incase i woke up and this was all a dream.As Luna stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet mine, a soft smile graced her lips, a beacon of warmth and light.

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.

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.

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. They knew as well as I did that this was a turning point, a brink from which we might not return.

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?
