Beth's Point Of View.

I looked at Lilian with my eyes widely open in despair. Several thoughts ran through my mind as I stared blankly at her.

Could that be true? Will I die for real this time? Why did the Moon Goddess keep me alive to this moment, then? Is it to be killed by my long-lost sister?

Of course, that's it. Why would else she had kept me alive until now?

Slowly, I rose to my feet and dragged my feet into the room.

“Beth?” I heard Isabel called out to me softly in a confused tone.

This case of merging is settled already, I already know who has the strength to live it through.

I sank myself on the bed, staring blankly at the wall when Isabel stepped into the room. She leaned against the door for a moment before walking further into the room. She sat beside me and threw her arm around my neck, pulling me in a hug.

“Everything is going to be fine. I'm sure that Lilly will find a way around this.” She tried to console me in a soothing tone, but it won't work.

It's only a matter

    Beth's Point Of View.It was late into the night when I sharply opened of eyes after hours of pretending to be asleep. I couldn't sleep, nor could I let this golden opportunity pass me by.Slowly and gently, I pulled the sheet off my body and carefully crawled out of bed not to attract anyone's attention, not especially Isabel's who was sleeping next to me.I stood there for a few seconds to see if I had woken them, but Lilian and Isabel were both fast asleep.“Perfect,” I mumbled and tiptoed out of the room.I managed to get out of the house without being noticed, which was a good thing. The Present moon hung up in the sky, it was dim and could hardly show the path. I grabbed my phone from my pocket, switched on the flashlight and proceeded into the forest.I have to find the only one who has the answer to all my problems.Juan!I made my way to the address she had sent me in the text she sent to me earlier today. But to my surprise, as I approached and drew closer to the address, ev

    Alpha Sarah's Point Of View.I was seated in my room, lost in thought of what to do. Either to run away or fight. But there again, I realized that each of my opponents has at least a partner.Alex has Wendy and probably Sandro. Juan has Mrs. Sophie. Miss Eloise has her child, but I'm all alone in this.A deep huff swept through my lips and I threw myself on the bed.“Why does it always have to be like this?” I mumbled to myself.I don't know who Mrs. Sophie is anymore, or why she would join force with Juan to kill me. Coming to this pack is really a mistake that I could have avoided.Suddenly, my phone beeped. It was a message from Juan that jolted me out of my thoughts.“Don't you think it's time for you to confess what you did, bloody Alpha?” The text read.That was it, the hint I had been waiting for. Now, I know why she is doing all of these and what she might want from me.But I would be a coward to give it to her, wouldn't I?I got out of bed and headed to the door. As I grabbed

    Sandro's Point Of View.Enraged and furious, I paced around the room like a restless dog.Why haven't I heard anything from Elena? Why is this taking so long? Is it this difficult to get her?I have to get her before Alex, I must get to her before him.That is the only way I can win this fight and give my wife and child the rest they deserve. I won't stop until I maul him to deal with my two bare hands.The door suddenly crept open, interrupting my thoughts, and my eyes shifted to the door. It was one of the guards.“What is it?” I asked, rolling my eyes at him.“You seem to be worried, boss. Is everything okay?” He questioned softly, not paying much attention to the way I spoke to him.I shot a glare at him with my lips twitched, “Do you this everything is okay? Will everything be okay, and I'm like this?” I yelled at him, causing him to get startled.“I'm sorry, boss, I did not mean to interfere in your business.” He apologized with his head evenly bowed.“Then, you should never int

    Juan's Point Of View.“Sandro?” My chin dropped, my eyes narrowly opened in surprise.Could I be dreaming or hallucinating? Is something wrong with me?I tried shaking the image off my head, but the man was still standing firm in front of me.“Let me guess, I haven't changed a bit over the years.” He giggled as he moved closer to me.But I took a step back, which made him alter his next step.His giggles, his face, and smile all seemed to be Sandro's, but could he really be the one? How did he escape that terrible night? And managed to stay alive up to now?I pondered hard, but there was no response to my thoughts or questions.“Do you know each other?” The lady beside him turned to him and asked gently.I looked at her, she had gentle eyes, but I can't remember seeing her face before. This must be the first time meeting her.“Yes, it is a long story but, we go a lot way back.” Sandro boasted and turned back to me.“Are you okay, Princess?” His voice filled with worry faded in the air

    Sandro's Point Of View.What Juan just said was something I never expected of her. How could she want Lilian dead?Is there something I do not know about?From the information I gathered from Elena, she told me Lilian is crucial to Juan. Why would she want her dead if she is important to her?There must be a reason for this, but I don't think it would be a good idea to ask her, judging by the smile on her lips. It must be essential for her to die.But how can I let that happen, it's not like I want Lilian dead? What if she isn't dead before the midnight of the full moon? What would I say to Juan, or what would she do to me?I have watched her grown so powerful that I might even tremble at the mention of her name.“What do you say to this?” Elena's voice cut through my chain of thoughts, jolting me back to reality.“Yeah….” I stuttered, still not knowing what to say, while my eyes darted from Juan to Elena.Elena raised her brows at me in a signal to accept the offer, even when I'm sur

    Beth's Point Of View. I was seated on the bed, in the room with my AirPods plugged in my ears while I listened to a cool music when Lilian walked into the room. My eyes scanned her through the corner of my eyes and with a soft sigh, I returned to focus on the song.Lilian kept going to and fro around the wardrobe, ransacking it frantically.“Looking for something?” I pulled out the AirPods and asked.She turned to me, glanced at me, and resumed her search without uttering a word to me. “Really? I thought we were past this, Lilian.” I said, sitting upright with a light grunt.She swiftly turned to me with her brows raised.“What would you do if I tell you what I was looking for?” She asked with her hands rested on her waist, her eyes laced with a glare. “What is it you want from me, Lilian?” I snapped as I jumped to my feet, leaving my phone lying carelessly on the bed. “You still have the guts to talk? After what you did out there with Juan? You almost got me killed, Beth.” She re

    Wendy's Point Of View.I was seated on the bed in my room, humming a song when the door crept open and Alex walked him. His face wore a frown as he walked further into the room and sat on the bed without a word.He sat down with his gaze cast on the floor without saying a word for some minutes.I sat up, moved closer to him and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.“What is wrong, Alex? Why do you look so down?” I asked in a hushed voice, gently patting his back.He turned to me, our heads less that an inch away from each other. Though I'm not a werewolf blessed with the gift of hearing clearer sounds, I could tell from the look that etched his face that his heart was beating faster than usual. And so was mine I have never been this close to any guy. He quickly moved back a little, I cleared my throat and looked away too until his voice gasped my attention.“Sandro called me,” he said, and my head swiftly turned to him.“Why couldn't he call you after he tried to kill you the last ti

Are you going somewhere?” Alpha Sarah asked with her arms still wrapped around his neck. “Yes, I have to be somewhere with Wendy.” He uttered as he wriggled himself out of his grip. I was done with the meal by now, I stood up, grabbed the plate and took it into the kitchen. I could feel her eyes on me as I walked away. “With her? Can I come along?” Her voice resonated her doubt in me. Alex looked at me, we exchanged glances, and he turned to Alpha Sarah. “I'm afraid not, babe. This is something dangerous and risky, you shouldn't be caught up in it.” He said with his eyes warm and his voice hushed enough to put a baby to sleep. “More reason why I should come with up.” She declared with her Alpha authority, not giving anyone a chance for opinion. “If you want him dead, you can tag alone then, Alpha Sarah.” I addressed her with a little respect as I bowed to her while I spoke. She stared at me for a while, her eyes flitting from Al

  • Lustful Desires: Battle For Alpha    Truth at Dawn

    Lilian’s POVThe Palace looked almost magical in the soft morning light. Every corner shimmered, as though someone had scrubbed away the horrors of last night. But no amount of sunlight could erase the memories that lingered in my mind.I stood in the back, blending in with the crowd of Pack members. They cheered and clapped for Sarah, who stood in front of us with Alex by her side. Their smiles were genuine, their faces bright with hope, but I couldn’t join them.Beth’s face haunted me. Her last moments played over and over in my head, the way her body had gone still under the stars, the way her lips had whispered words I couldn’t quite hear. I swallowed hard, trying to push the images away, but they clung to me like shadows.Sarah raised her hands, and the room quieted. Her voice rang out, clear and strong. “Today, we celebrate the dawn of a new chapter for our Pack. We’ve endured pain, loss, and betrayal, but the Moon Goddess has guided us to this moment. Together, we’ll rebuild, s

    Alpha Sarah's POVPower surged through my veins like nothing I had ever felt before. It was raw, wild, and untamed. Every fiber of my being burned with an intensity that demanded release. As Wendy lunged at me, her face twisted with hatred, I didn’t flinch. My roar erupted from deep within, shaking the very walls of the cave. The force of it sent Wendy hurtling backward, slamming against the jagged stone with a sickening crunch.She crumpled to the ground, her body limp. I should’ve felt relief, maybe even triumph. But all I felt was rage.“You brought this on yourself,” I growled, stepping closer. My claws ached to finish what she had started, to ensure she could never hurt anyone else again.Wendy groaned, her head tilting up just enough to glare at me. “You think this ends with me?” she spat, blood dripping from her mouth. “You’re just a pawn in something much bigger.”Before I could respond, movement in the corner of my eye drew my attention.Juan's POVThis wasn’t how it was supp

    Alex’s POV“You think you can just walk away from this?”Juan’s voice tore through the silence like a whip, hitting me hard. I flinched, though I refused to show it. His sharp tone echoed off the stone walls. The air was already heavy with uneasiness, but his anger made it suffocating. His eyes burned with fury, his fists tight at his sides, ready to lash out.I stood still, staring at her. Around us, the remnants of the chaos—the broken furniture, shattered glass, and bloodstained floors—served as grim reminders of what had just happened. But Juan’s anger was a storm brewing on top of it all, and it was directed straight at me.“What do you want from me?” I finally snapped, my voice sharp as a blade. My chest heaved with frustration, the weight of her accusations pressing hard against me. “You think I planned this? That I wanted any of this to happen?”“You’re not innocent, Alex!” Juan roared, stepping closer. Her face twisted with rage. “You’re just like the rest of them! You carry

    Alpha Sarah's POVThe air felt heavy, not just with the cool night but with the weight of everything that had just unfolded. Alex had broken down moments earlier, consumed by the ghost of his father’s voice. I had held him, trying to comfort the mate I still loved, even after everything. But there was no time for peace tonight.A sharp scream tore through the silence, wrenching us all back into reality.Beth's POVI knew I didn’t have much time. While the others were distracted, I moved toward Lilian, clutching the vial of antidote in my shaking hands. Lilian’s body was too still, her breathing too shallow. I knelt beside her, gently cradling her head as tears streamed down my face.“Just hold on,” I whispered, uncorking the vial. “You’re going to be okay.”But I didn’t see Wendy until it was too late.At first, I didn’t even realize I had been stabbed. There was only a strange pressure in my chest, like I had forgotten how to breathe. Then came the burning, fire spreading from the po

  • Lustful Desires: Battle For Alpha    The Voice of Redemption

    Alex's Point of ViewThe night pressed in around us, suffocating the air with an eerie silence that seemed to hold us all captive. My heart raced, my breath shallow as I stood beside Wendy. We were surrounded by a thick wall of shadows, the only light coming from the moon above, filtering through the trees. In the center of our circle, Lilian’s limp form lay motionless, her once strong presence reduced to a fragile shadow.Beth’s potion had worked too well. Too well, in fact. I could barely look at Lilian’s face, though her eyes, open and filled with an unspoken plea, forced me to meet them. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. The weight of her silent cry lodged in my chest like a stone. I had never intended for things to go this far, but here we were. And now, there was no turning back.I could hear Juan, Sandro, and Elena whispering to each other, their voices hushed but urgent, forming a protective barrier around us. Their eyes darted constantly from

    Beth's POVThe stench of blood still clung to my hands as we left Mrs. Sophie’s garden, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldn’t shake the image of her lifeless body from my mind. Killing her was necessary, I kept telling myself, but the weight of it sat heavy on my chest.I glanced at Isabella, her face pale and blank, her usually sharp eyes now distant. She hadn’t spoken a word since we left. Her silence was louder than any scream, and it unnerved me.The walk to the Palace felt endless. When we finally reached its towering doors, I noticed how the place seemed darker, colder, as if the walls themselves had absorbed the weight of our sins.Marcus stood at the top of the grand staircase, his gaze fixed on us. His face was unreadable, but I could see the pressure in his shoulders.Isabella froze the moment her eyes landed on him. Her silence broke with a venom-laced hiss."I'm saving Lilian without your help!" she snapped, her voice trembling with anger and grief. She turned on

The same Beth who had given Lilian away all in the name of whatever she was plotting with Juan. The same Beth the whole Pack thought was dead. The same Beth who the Pack thought betrayed them all. She might not have betrayed them but she betrayed me and Lillian, for that, I dint think I would ever be able to forgive her. Seeing her now felt like the ground beneath me had been ripped away, leaving me teetering on the edge of a dark abyss.I wanted to run, to escape the suffocating unease in the room, but Alpha Sarah’s firm grip on my arm kept me rooted in place. Her sharp nails dug into my skin, a reminder that I wasn’t going anywhere.“Please, Isabel,” Alpha Sarah said, her commanding voice softened to a rare whisper. “Just listen. We need both of you if we want any chance of saving Lilian.”The mention of Lilian’s name hit me like a punch to the gut. My sister was out there somewher

I tossed to the other side of the bed and when I groggily opened my eyes, it was met with the alarm clock.It was time to get out of bed. I threw the bedsheet over my body and got out of bed. Though it was still dark outside, this is the best time to start getting ready for the ritual."Such a good day to die, Alpha Sarah." A satisfied smile flashed on my lips.I made my way into the bathroom and took my time. After some minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom back into the room with a towel wrapped to my chest.I sat on the edge of the bed and applied lotion on my body while I hummed a slow romantic song. The sky was a bit clearer and it was time to step out if the house.I hurriedly got dressed and retreated from the house, I would have taken Alex's car but I would not want to disturb his sleep. So I walked out of the compound and trekked to the bus station where I boared a bu

I seek nothing and I do not appreciate you calling me out like this in the middle of the night.” I warned fiercely and was about to leave when the lady stopped me.“Wait, Alpha Sarah, unless you have no interest in knowing what your mission is as the Alpha of this Pack. Seeing, you have until the end of tomorrow to remain Alpha.” She said, her voice was clouded with confidence and it clicked!This must be the bumper I saw earlier on my way home. I slowly turned to her with my brows twitched, my eyes scanning her from her head to toe.“Of course, I'm the bumper you met earlier, and I told you I would've back soon.” She uttered with a smile.“I never knew it would be this fast,” I crossed my arms against my chest with my head slightly tilted.“Well, there isn't much
