The shadow laughed, its voice like a cold wind. "You think the moon's power can defeat me?" it said. "I am the darkness within, and I will always be stronger."

I knew that I had to think of something else, something that would give me the edge I needed to defeat the shadow.

And then, I remembered the words of the moon goddess. "The power of the moon is within you," she had said. "Trust in yourself, and you will find the strength you need."

I took a deep breath, and focused on my own inner strength. I knew that I had the power to defeat the shadow, to banish it back to the depths of my own mind.

With newfound determination, I raised my hands, and a blast of energy shot out, striking the shadow with incredible force.

The shadow let out a scream of rage, its form beginning to dissipate. I knew that I had won, that I had defeated the darkness within.

I knew that look all too well, it was the same look she had given Ruth before she ruined her reputation.Rebecca's father, the pack alpha, had arranged our marriage when we were just teenagers, solidifying the alliance between our packs. I had always felt trapped by this arrangement, but I had never mustered the courage to defy my parents.Now, as I watched Rebecca's jealousy simmering just below the surface, I realized that I had to make a choice.

"You're defending her, Michael? After everything I've done for you?"I took a deep breath, trying to calm her down. "Rebecca, this has nothing to do with us.

    As we left the pack leader's office, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. We had done the right thing, but I knew that Rebecca would not take this lying down."Let's get out of here," Vincent said, his voice low. "We don't know what she's capable of."I nodded in agreement, my heart racing with anticipation.

    Ruth's POV I gazed lovingly at my daughter, Rachel, cradled in my arms. Seven months of pregnancy had flown by, and now, as I held my little miracle, I felt an overwhelming sense of love and responsibility. Michael, my mate, sat beside me, his eyes shining with adoration as he stroked Rachel's tiny hand. "You're an amazing mother, Ruth. Our daughter is lucky to have you." Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. I vowed to create a better future for Rachel, one free from the pain and abandonment I'd faced. My thoughts drifted to my own childhood, and the complicated relationships with my parents. Dad's words, spoken on my wedding day, echoed in my mind: "If you hurt my daughter, I'll tie you to a tree and cut your balls." His gruff demeanor hid a deep love, but the past still lingered. Forgiveness was a journey, not a destination. I'd begun to understand, but the scars remained. As I looked at Rachel, I knew I'd do anything to protect her. My love for Michael and our daugh

    I was talking to Gabriel, Sandra and Davidson when I saw Vincent. I gasp and smile at him, he bows to me and kisses my check politely. “Congratulations, Mrs Micheal,” he says. “Thank you, how are you?” He didn’t answer and I change the topic, making my heart ache for him. After talking to the Alpha, my mate circles his arms around my waist and pulls me to the dance floor where he twirls me and kisses my lips deeply, our tongues fight for control and it makes the crowd react with cheers and howls. Soft music plays and we dance to it. I listen to the lyrics of the song and smile, it says, When I thought I’ve lost you, see how fate brought us together, I promise never to let you go my love.” After we dance to almost all the songs, there is a Fireworks display and people clap once again , excited.

He is drinking his whiskey directly from the bottle while I watch the beautiful scenery of the city.

His apartment has four bedrooms, a huge living area, stylish kitchen he doesn’t use except when I’m here since he cooks for me as I don’t know how, a study room, a minibar, an indoor gym, and a pool.I go to
