The death of someone could be the end of the beginning but it could also be a beginning to an end. In every end starts a new chapter. It is just natural to a never ending cycle of life.It was just a normal day for Chandra and Adolfo. A day where they both shared the responsibility of managing the affairs of the pack. Chandra is already in her second trimester and everyone knows about her pregnancy."First Heir, I have something to tell you." Chandra hurriedly went into her husband's side to report. "Don't run, Chandra. Remember that you are pregnant, you might slip. Don't make me too worried about you." He nervously said upon seeing Chandra waddling towards him."Right, right. I'm sorry honey but I just want you to look at something." She excitedly giggled."What is it? You seem to be so hyperactive." He commented on her actions while wrapping his arm around her waist to guide her while walking."Just follow me. It will be just a meter away from outsid
A good person cannot stop herself from helping other people but a bad person's only mission is to ruin other people's life for them to successfully achieve what they want. Yet despite how strong a bad person is, a person who has a good heart will always win in the end.Winter has arrived and everyone in the pack is still able to rejoice because they have sufficient food to survive. They are no longer forced to hunt for food during these cold days. Women also learn how to store and preserve foods such as the vegetables from their garden, the fish that men caught from the river, and the meat of some animals that men have captured before the winter season. All thanks to the pack's Luna, they are able to have enough stock of necessities for everyone's consumption."Your servant greets Alpha and Luna, wishing you peace and good health." Alarick bowed to the new leader as soon as he arrived at the hall.The alpha and the Luna are sitting on their own desks while reading the reports of the w
People are born with natural instincts. One way to destroy a well-studied plan is to follow your instincts. An instinct is so powerful that it can overturn the situation."Help! Somebody wants to kill me! Phelan is trying to kill me!" Luna keeps on yelling until she arrives at the door.The laceration she created on herself is not deep enough to affect the organs and major blood vessels but it is big enough for her to bleed. She messed up her hair to make herself more pitiful to look at."Luna, what happened?" Amanda was confused about what was going on. This is not clearly going according to her plans.As soon as Luna smelled the scent of the alpha coming, she already knew what to do to make the scene more scandalous."You do not know what happened? You brought a murderer to kill me. What have I ever done to you for you to plan to end my life?" Luna cried while holding her bleeding shoulder."What is going on here?" Alpha asked the people who had gathered to see Luna."Luna… Luna, wh
They said that prevention is always better than cure. This goes the same with governing the pack. If you need to protect your pack, then you must know how to handle possible conflict in order to prevent a bloody battle.It was just an ordinary day for Luna and the alpha. They are always busy with the continuous problems of the pack. Luna is already 7 months pregnant yet she is still active in helping her husband with his responsibility."Alpha… Luna…" One of the members of the pack bowed in front of them. She is with her daughter who is about seven years old."What brings you here?" Alpha asked her."Alpha, I am really desperate to look for a job. My husband just died a week ago thus we lost the provider of our family. We have a daughter that I need to feed. I know that the pack provides enough food for everyone but my daughter also has other needs. I also need money to pay for some workers to repair our house. May the alpha give me a job." The lady begged the alpha."I salute your ha
Nothing can make you more happy than seeing all of your family, friends, and your significant other safe and living in peace.It has been two days since Luna's father went with the gamma to communicate with the other pack's alpha to express that they want peace and they will not take someone's side because they are both their allies. This is to ensure that their pack will not be affected by the war between them."Has father sent any message? I have been waiting for the messenger to come but no one has arrived. Do you have any news you got just recently?" The anxious Luna inquired the warriors about her father."Not yet Luna. But Alarick has sent a message earlier that his father agreed and he has no plan on including our pack for the upcoming war because their alpha said that he always sees our pack as an ally." One of the warriors reported."But I already knew that. In fact, I am expecting that from Alarick. What I am worrying about is my father's safety. It's true that the other pac
Power can be easily attained but one must fulfill his or her responsibility to maintain the power that they have. Because whether they believe it or not, the source of their power comes from the people that they are serving."Alpha! Alpha! Alpha!" A warrior runs towards the alpha to deliver an important news. It was still dawn and the alpha was still half asleep but he still went outside so that the sleeping Luna would not be disturbed."Speak. What kind of message are you carrying that seems to be so important? Next time, lower your voice when you announce things, especially during this time. I do not want to disturb Luna." The alpha was kind of irritated but he knew that it is part of his duty as an alpha to be able to oversee his pack all the time."Your warrior does not dare to disturb the alpha's rest. But I have got urgent news for you, Alpha. Both of the two packs have already blown their war horns to announce that the war between them is already commencing. We need your order
Seeing your child is the most rewarding moment of a mother. All of the hardships she went through for how many months will quickly vanish as soon as she sees her healthy little baby. The cry of the baby may seem to be annoying but it is all what mothers love to hear.The war is now over. Alarack's father successfully conquered their opposing pack. Both the alpha and Luna were relieved to find out that they can now get back to their normal lives without having a fear that maybe one day, they can be attacked too."Alpha… Luna…" Alarick bowed in front of them."Congratulations on your recent victory." The alpha congratulated him."Thank you, Alpha. I personally came here to invite you for our celebration. My father wants you to join us as we commemorate our triumph against our foe. Are you going? Luna? Alpha?" Alarick asks them."I would love to go and celebrate your win with your pack, Alarick. It is just that, the head doctor advises me to stay here in the village so that she can alway
Being a mother is a huge honor and privilege, but it is also a form of service. Women are expected to give of themselves daily to take care of their family. Mothers constantly put others before themselves, whether it is by breastfeeding a newborn in the middle of the night, providing time and resources to their children who aren't very appreciative sometimes."Alpha? Where are you? Where is everyone?" Luna asks. She still can't get up because of the pain she acquired from giving birth."Luna, I am glad that you are awake now. Here, drink this concoction I made. This will make you gain your strength." The head doctor quickly attended to her upon realizing that she is now awake."Does it still hurt, Luna? You bleed profusely earlier. Good thing that the medicine I gave you and the acupuncture that I did was able to stop you from bleeding too much. Drink this tea, Luna. I hope that medicine will show its effect immediately so that it can help you." She uttered as she handed Luna the medi
Instead of lying to ourselves and making up reasons to stay in our comfort zones, we must be honest with ourselves about what we want and take chances.Today is the day that they will go home to the pack. Luna is currently helping Claire to prepare her suitcase while Alpha and Alarick are loading the car with the things that are needed to bring into the pack."Are you sure you want to go with us?" Luna asks Claire."Yes Luna. I know that you can feel that I am nervous to step out of the zone that I am comfortable in. I am not ashamed to admit that but this is the only way I can prove my life to Alarick. If I keep on being afraid of something new to me, then I might as well drop my love for him, right?" Claire replied. Luna is impressed how courageous Claire is."Is this all you want to bring?" Luna questions her again."Yes Luna." Claire briefly answered."Are you ready?" Luna checks on her nervous friend."I am ready! I was born ready!" Claire is trying to encourage herself. She know
Love is like a magician that pulls a man out of his own hat and goes outside of his comfort zone.The sun rose earlier than yesterday. The bright rays of sunshine hit Luna's face through the open window. Luna was abruptly awakened as soon as she felt the warmth of the sun."Good morning, Alpha." She whispered into her husband's ear and kissed him on the forehead.She gets up and goes straight to Selene's crib. The little baby is still sleeping soundly."Good morning my sunshine." She uttered and also planted a small kiss on her daughter's forehead.Luna goes to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast. She opens the box of pancake mix. She follows the instructions written on the box and cooks the said pancake. She prepares enough pancakes for the four of them. She also squeezes fresh oranges that they bought from the mall yesterday."Good morning Chandra… I mean, Luna, I did not know that you are awake already." Claire approaches her."Good morning to you, Claire. Yeah, I get up early t
“You know you are in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Dr. SeussClaire and Alarick walk on the beach holding each other's hand just like adorable love birds. They talk about the memories that they shared. The first time they saw each other, the first game they played, their first mutual enemy, and even their first kiss. They were on their way to the house when Claire stopped."What happened, love?" Alarick asks her."Love, I am afraid. What if Chandra would hate me? What if she will not forgive me that easy?" Claire answers her fiancé's question with another set of questions."Love, you are just overthinking that. Do not think about that, anymore. I already told you, Luna is not like that. I have been their friend ever since and I am already familiar with her temperament. I promise you that." He holds and squeezes her hand as he comforts her with his words."But, I do not know what to do." She is still anxious on what to do
Love is when If you had to choose between breathing and loving that person, you would always choose to use your last breath to tell your significant other that you love her.Claire runs away as soon as Luna reveals Alarick's real identity. She feels so ashamed for accusing Luna and Alarick of cheating but she doesn't know if she can handle the truth that was just exposed earlier. She turned around and she saw her boyfriend chasing her so she ran even faster. But Alarick, who was used to hunting animals, can easily follow her around.She felt exhausted from running and want to rest but she did not want her lover to catch up on her. She wants to be alone in order to avoid the confrontation."Claire, please hear me out first. I promise to explain everything to you. I will answer all of your questions. I promise you that I will tell you every secret that I have. Please just listen to me first." Alarick called her.Upon hearing Alarick's voice, her knees weaken. She stumbles on the ground
In both life and combat, it is frequently necessary to adopt the best available course of action when a beloved plan has failed, and if this is the case, it is foolish to do nothing but work tirelessly toward it.It was the fourth day of their stay in the city. And according to their previous plan, today must be the day before they will tell Claire about Alarick's real identity so that they will still have more days to talk to Claire about it.Claire went out to jog because she is feeling tired today and wants to get rid of negative energy."Claire is out now. Maybe now is the perfect time to rehearse the line that I have written. I mean, you do not need to memorize it but at least you know some words that you can say if you do not know what to say anymore." Luna suggested as soon as Claire went outside the house."I guess, Luna is right, Alarick. You still need to have words that genuinely came out from your heart but you also need some guide words that you can remember once you are
"Woman was not made out of man's feet to be below him, nor was she made from his head, to be above him, but she was made from his rib, to be beside him." - Angie LewisLuna and Claire arrived in the house first before Alpha and Alarick. They both enjoyed the ice skating show earlier in the mall. They then take out some food from the restaurant for their lunch."Let me prepare the table first." Luna announces. She puts down Selene into her baby mat for her to relax and rest."No, I can do this Chandra. You go and focus on Selene." Claire protested."Come on, how about let us do this together? You know that I can't let you do the house work alone. You already gave us accommodation during our stay here." Luna insisted.They all prepared the table and served the food that they both bought from the restaurant."You know what Chandra, I really like Beef Wellington. That is why I want you and Adolfo to try this dish." Claire happily said to her."Well, what is this, by the way? I mean, isn't
Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be under a poor coat.It is now their second day as they arrive in the city. Since they spent the whole day yesterday learning how to drive a car, both manual and automatic, they decided to purchase the car so that they can have more time to prepare Alarick's confession to Claire."Here, this is the business card that my friend gave me. He just got employed there but I know that he can help you. Just tell the taxi about the address." Claire handed them the business card."You take good care of yourself, okay." Luna hugged her husband tightly."You should always take care of yourself and Selene. We will be back as fast as we can." Alpha kisses Luna's forehead."We will have to go now, love." Alarick also bids goodbye to his lover.The men went to the address written on the business card while the women were left in the house."What should we do now?" Claire asks Luna who is currently cheering her daughter, Selene, as she rolls and starts to
The most crucial lesson in friendship is to persevere, stay in touch, stand up for them, and let them stand up for you because that is what friends are for. Do not ignore them, become disinterested, become overworked or exhausted, or take them for granted. This will only ruin it. The thread that binds life and faith together is friendship.The next day, both Luna and Claire decided to wake up early to cook for their partners."What are we doing today?" Luna asks. She is so excited to learn new recipes."We will have an egg fried rice and an avocado toast later." Claire replied."I am sorry to ask this. I already know what avocado toast is and I also know how to do it. But what is egg fried rice? I know that it is self-explanatory but I just want to verify if I understand it right. Are we going to fry an egg and the rice?" Luna curiously asks. It is new to her that they will be frying rice. She has never done this before. They even rarely use rice there since they are so abundant with
If you keep the secret for too long, you will cause even more problems. Especially that some secrets are hard to keep hidden forever.Luna immediately packed the things that they needed to bring to the city. She is so excited to go to the city again. Alpha also ordered his men to prepare the carriage."Are you ready?" Luna asks Alarick, who was so anxious. He keeps on walking back and forth."He is just excited, Luna. Especially right now that all he had to do is to convince Claire to go with him to their pack. After that, they can settle down and create a family already." Alpha assured Luna."Are you ready to go to the city, Selene? I bet you are not because you hate the busy sound of the city." Luna said to their daughter, who is in her husband's arms."Alright, let's go. We have to arrive in the city before dark. Hop into the carriage." Alpha uttered. He then helps Luna to enter the carriage.During their journey from their pack to the spot that they were supposed to be dropped off
