It was a total mess in my apartment that night. I literally felt like I was going to die because it was already late, and after working for hours I could not even get rest and had to get into a combat with a blood-hungry mysterious guy.Apparently, Kai was delayed downstairs by some unforseen occurrences. He got tricked by some super intelligent informants about his family and that had him on the hook. When he found out it was all an orchestrated prank to delay him, it was already too late as I had already had it out with Jordan to some extent.But the issue there was the fact that we did not know who tried to stop him back there. Jordan was not the type to pull that kind of thing and I was pretty sure we all could attest to it. Karima and Madison were beings attended to medically. Kai had called a wolf doctor that was trusted and he came over to Karima's apartment where we all relocated to. "Let him attend to you first." The divine sisters insisted but I was more stubborn. "You ar
A week has passed since the incident, I got days off work to rest and tend to myself very well. We had left Jordan to the old lady Annatoria, one of the wisest priestesses in the wolf world. Though aged, she lived in a body of a lady in her twenties, very young but powerful.I insisted on going with them to her place, since Jordan had been put asleep with some strange potion that Madison knew about. She seemed to know a lot about him, any way.I was expecting a small hut filled with smoke from concoctions and sacred furnishings, but rather, we drove towards a mansion at the outskirts of Beatle City. A fucking mansion!After getting through some guards, we got into the main building where Annatoria was waiting. We had no idea she would be waiting but she was, actually.As soon as I walked in, she bowed at ninety degrees immediately. "You are welcome to my humble abode." She said warmly, in an honouring manner.I was confused and lost, I turned to Karims and Madison swiftly with a quest
"I will do it.""Milady!" Karima and Madison yelled at the same time. They were probably not expecting me to make a decision right away. I expected that much from Karima but from Madison, it was least expected."We can't leave him that way. It started with me anyway, so it had to end with me." I concluded assertively, not giving them the chance to speak. I turned to Annatoria immediately, she was the one I had business with so I was just going to focus on her.Annatoria heeded to me instead and she led me up to the third floor, where the Celestia room was. Karima and Madison just had to stay back. I would be lying big time if I had said I did not feel unsure of myself at some point in time.The 'what ifs' in my mind almost overwhelmed me but I succeeded in taking over. Before we went to the Celestia room, Annatoria had some of the ladies around who I guessed to be her domestic workers, she had them take me into a changing room.They helped take off my clothes and had me change into a
"Wake up, Mira!" I heard a voice yell faintly. "We have to wake her!" Another shouted.The voices became clearer eventually and I felt a sharp pain pierce through me as I tried to open my eyes. I had to keep it closed for a while, and ppp then I opened them again.Taking a bit of time to scan around for where I was, I just knew we were still at Annatoria's place. They were all standing around me, Karima, Maddie, Kai, the priestess and her people.They had me sit up on the bed, leaning my back against the headboard. I felt like I had just gotten called back from death, I was still in that regalia I wore earlier.Someone brought me a glass of water and I drank it, then felt relieved."Did it work? How's he now?" I raised my brows, asking about Jordan first.None of them gave me an answer. My heart started beat so fast, it did not work? Had Jordan gone beserk already?"Someone say something!" I blurted out."Actually, we... succeeded in touching his core, it's all thanks to you, Lady Kie
My heart kept racing as the clock ticked closer to midnight. Soon it would be 12 AM, and if I didn’t shift this time, I’d be in serious trouble. It was that time of year again – the Blood Moon, when the lunar eclipse happens, and every werewolf around the world shifts.But I was terrified. I had never met my wolf, not even once, despite all these years.Sitting on the bed, I stared into the full-length mirror across from me. My hands gripped the sheets as a flood of thoughts filled my mind.What if I don’t shift again? What if it’s like last time? Will I be stuck like this forever?These thoughts weighed me down. We were reaching a breaking point, and I knew my mate would throw me out if I failed to shift. I was never really accepted as his wife or Luna, but I didn’t think I could bear it if that happened now.I knew I was just an Omega, but I prayed earnestly to the moon goddess."Please, just this once, let it happen. I want to have a child," I prayed. For me to shift and have a chi
At exactly midnight, the Seventh Heritage Pack's howls filled the air as people began shifting into their wolf forms. Even those who had never shifted before were transforming for the first time, but I was still standing there, human like.Tears welled up in my eyes as my hope slowly faded. I looked away from the wolves and turned my gaze to my mate. He sat in the place of honor with his parents, the former Alpha and Luna, alongside with the council of elders—the highest authorities in the pack.If I were the Luna, I would have been sitting beside Adrien. But Claire had specifically ordered that I sit among the regular pack members, though she did place me in the front row to give me some dignity.I noticed Adrien looking at me too, but I couldn’t tell if he felt sad for me or if he was just indifferent.As the night went on, I saw people pointing at me and whispering things that were clearly meant to mock me.The worst part was that my tears wouldn’t even fall. They were stuck in my
I spent a long time by the lake, just thinking. Now I understood why Madison had tried to stop me earlier. I felt cursed and confused. How could so much happen in a single day, and it wasn’t even noon yet?I loved and trusted Adrien so deeply that I didn’t see this coming. Maybe I saw the signs but chose to ignore them. It didn’t seem fair. Despite all the hate, rejection, and betrayal I had faced from his people, he still betrayed my love and trust.I cried by the lake, feeling as though I was going to die. My heart was aching so much that I wished I could just remove it. The pain inside me was weakening me on the outside.I lay on the grass, lost in thought until some guards arrived. I recognized them as Alpha Arthur's men—Adrien’s father, who was the Alpha King. Adrien was also an Alpha, serving under his father."The Alpha King wants to see you," one of them said. They weren’t in their usual uniforms but wore black suits, looking more like security guards. This kingdom and pack we
I scrunched my brows. "What are you talking about, mother? What is..going on here?""You can continue with the pretence the moment you are out of this pack, you shameless thief." Claire continued.I was still so confused. How did they come to the conclusion that I did that? Just how?The only claim was that I had been to the pack earlier that afternoon when Arthur summoned me and Claire, even though she was not there she said I must have taken the opportunity to reach her room and stole her jewelry. On top of that, I was accused of leaving the pack house immediately after stealing the items. What a story! It was all perfectly made up and I could not even defend myself. I looked at Adrien who was sitting on a sofa in the living room. We had an unsettled issue but I had to swallow my pride and ask him for help, communicating with non-verbal cues.My husband looked away, leaving me surprised. He was supposed to be the only person who could vouch for me over anything, being the closest.
"Wake up, Mira!" I heard a voice yell faintly. "We have to wake her!" Another shouted.The voices became clearer eventually and I felt a sharp pain pierce through me as I tried to open my eyes.

The drive back home was very quiet. And again I had questions just brewing in my mind without answers, I did not plan to keep them to myself for any longer though. Getting to the apartment, we noticed all lights were turned off. "Turn on the lights please." I said, referring to Karima because we were still outside. I did not hear anything from her and there was no result, as lightening. "Karima, please--" I suddenly heard the switch sound and the lights were on the next split second.The sight I saw was so terrifying! "Karima!" I yelled out of fear, seeing her wimping on the floor. I bent down and tried to examine her, wondering what could have happened to her within that short moment we had just entered. Then it came to my mind, then who switched on the lights? Without thinking any further, I knew there was someone in that apartment. As I walked in further, I started to perceive that familiar cologne. *He is here.* My ears stretched at the realization and before I could say 'J
The dots started to connect by default, as I traced down the bloodlines. Even though my memory about my initial self was getting vague already, I could remember the man that would never cease to bring out laughter out of my father asides my mother and me.They were best of friends. Mr. Callum had actually refused to take over his father's throne at their pack, but rather went fully into the business world, leaving the throne to his younger sibling. So, Travis was his son.. hm. "You seem like you know him." He pointed out and my body jerked a Little. "Of course, I do, very well at that.""Oh well, that's very much expected but i was acting on his orders to being you here."...So the whole Greenville thing was not a coincidence but an orchestration? I thought as I headed towards the elevator, so I could join Karima and the rest on the ground floor. I had just left Travis's office.I pressed the button gently and waited patiently for the elevator doors to open as I got lost in thoug
I closed my eyes for half a second there and opened them again to be sure I was seeing the right person. It was him, and he was staring back at me, as if saying "Got you by surprise?"That dude was sitting right there in a black tux.There was this grumpy look he had on, and it also looked like he was enjoying the sight. "Mira." I heard Karima whisper from where she was, watching me. Immediately, I got jolted out of my thoughts and then I took my eyes off him."Once again, you are welcome, all." I said, forcing a very broad smile. "I am Mira, your host's representative for today." I continued as I analyzed every seat with my eyes, then I noticed one of them was empty. Who was it again this time?Just when I was thinking that, Travis walked into the room. My eyes beamed when I saw him, he smiled when he saw me too and I just nodded gently. It was so good to see him there. "So the first thing on agenda is the introduction of every guest here." I announced and as I did the reading o
It was an exclusive party but according to Karima, who seemed to know almost everything about Greenville resort, even beyond the normal team lead duties now, I had to be wearing a party dress too and not the uniform."A party dress? But I am going there to work." I objected, not welcoming the idea of wearing something flashy and pretty for the event. "That's the requirements, Milady." She insisted and I sighed. "But I don't even have a dress." I tried to leverage on that until she called Kai in.He walked in with a cloth hanger that had about three dresses hung on it. I furrowed my brows immediately, feeling stunned. "You told him...to go get me a dress? That's... surprising." I could not find the perfect word to use."It took a whole lot of persuasion before he agreed to go. He never wants to leave your side." Madison, who had been quiet all the while chipped in. They decided to have me wear the Emerald green dress amongst others and then Madison styled my hair. She was almost go
He did not say anything about the Eldrid forest. I wished I could ask but what if it triggered him again? No thank you, I decided to keep my peace.Weeks passed and none of us had heard from him. Kai even came around to our house at many points in time because he was not also aware of his whereabouts.Our place had now become a temporary dwelling place for him whenever we were around, because we all felt like Jordan could show up at any time, and according to Kai, he was likely to come to my place first. And he claimed Jordan had strictly instruct him to protect me throughout the period he would not be around.All the while, we carried on with our normal, daily activities and it was quite hard to restore the normal team lead - team member relationship between me and Karima.I knew a lot now so things had changed, she could no longer pretend but I was fully ready to keep on acting as her subordinate, that's what I was anyway.Madison spent most of her time at home, preparing one thing
