LUCIANI growled as I paced the small length of my office in rage. The day was going slower than I had imagined, and Raul was not here yet with the criminal. If the bastard has escaped one more time, then I don’t know what I would be able to do.The last thing that I wanted was more stress, and no one could make me experience that for as long as I lived. They couldn’t make me feel all the pain in the book, no matter how hard they tried. I wouldn’t let that happen."Be calm," I admonished myself for the billionth time.With a sigh, I turned away from the door and moved over to the desk, sitting down with my hands on it. The way everything had played since I had come back was too weird, and that poor woman dying like that in her home made me so annoyed. My people trusted that I would keep them safe, but the Blue Moon Pack were snuffing out their lives like it meant nothing. How long would they bear that? Oh, goddess!"I wish you would make me get my wolf now, so that I can break the lim
ANDREAI have always been someone who couldn’t stop herself from thinking about others, no matter how hard she tried, but right now, I was just going crazy with a lot of things, and I was too scared to think about the men in my life.Yes, I had given two men my body, but that was not the issue. I knew that nothing had been resolved despite my making this move, and it would come back and hunt me if I wasn’t careful. That was exactly what I didn’t want."Luna," Lily called behind me.I turned lightly to face her, giving her one of my small smiles. "I don’t like all these showoffs. I feel more comfortable in plain dresses. Can’t we go for that instead?" I asked softly.She shook her head. "The Beta’s wife, Lady Anna, would have a stroke if she heard that. She gave us strict orders to prepare these outfits for you. According to her, you have wasted too much time on him, and she couldn’t come directly to oversee everything because Lady Valerie is sick. You have to wear this, Luna Andrea,"
ANDREAMy feet slowly slid backwards as I tried hard not to cry. There was nothing that was more painful than realizing that I held no place in this pack yet. If the elders could easily say that I was replaceable, then, why should I delude myself that I had a place here. I was good as nothing.“I have told you to stop bringing up these things. Andrea would continue to be the Luna of this pack and no-one can bring her from that position,” Lucian snapped.The elder scoffed. “We would see about that. If you don't get your shits together, then, I would definitely release her from the position that you carry!"He turned towards where I had been standing, but thankfully I hid around the pole, tears slowly sliding down my eyes. I had never imagined that I would bring so much pain to my mates. But, I did….“How does the problems going on with my problems affect Luna Andrea? We aren't kids that we would be controlled by her. So, leave her out of this mess,” Nikolai snapped.The elder bowed lig
LADY MEADEMy head was in the clouds right now, and Rachel, my new maid, was not enough to bring me out of it. I sighed as I looked down at her. She was vigorously painting my nails a stylish pink as she hummed the lyrics of an old song.It only made me realise that I had not given Andrea a moment’s peace of mind, but I was still restless. I had not been able to contact the killer that I had hired to get rid of that stupid guard. Heaven knew where he must have gotten entangled now!"Lady Meade, I’m done with the paintings," Racheal whispered meekly.I glared at her. "Repaint them then! Are you a fucking idiot? Do you not realise that the whole thing needs to be brighter than anything else in the world? Gosh! I have to teach you everything!"She bowed as she picked up the transparent paint. "I’m sorry, Lady Meade. I would apply the needed things right now," she whined.It was at that moment that a knock sounded at the door, and my other maid, who was making my tea, rose to her feet pro
ANDREAThe feeling of my hands in Raúl’s hand as we walked through the garden to the pack house spread warmth all over my soul. It felt like I was going to cloud nine and the experience was one of the best. I just couldn't breathe at all. It was simply too much.“Holding your hands in my hands like this makes me feel so alive,” Raúl whispered lightly.I swallowed hard. “Does it?”I could feel his gaze on me, and that made me swoon lightly. I just wanted to be so close to him, and feel his breath on mine. It was the only way that I could actually be myself in this uncertain world. And, my wolf seemed to agree with it because she was strangely content. His fingers pressed mine softly, making my stomach rumble with need. “Yes, it does. I want to walk with you at all times, and never let go of your beautiful hands,” he whispered lightly.I looked at him then, feeling my cheeks sink lightly as I blushed. “That's the way that I feel, too. Don't stop holding me, Raúl,” I muttered softly.
LUCIANI massaged the back of my head as I climbed into the bed. What a day it has been, and on top of that, I had not been able to find Andrea in her room when I had gone to look for her earlier. She must be terrified of what has been going on of late. My poor baby! She didn’t deserve all the hurt that she was getting. With a sigh, I sank down on the bed. I couldn’t even tell her that I could mind-link now. Damn! I was such an idiot! There were no two ways about it, and I felt really bad about it, but what could I do in this situation now? Nothing, but wait...'Alpha?'I looked around, assuming that there was someone around, but I saw nothing. It took me a minute to realise that the voice was coming from my pack link. This mind-link thing would have to take some getting used to at this point.'Please, are you there, Alpha?' The voice cropped again, and this time, he sounded so urgent. Something was definitely wrong.I massaged my neck again as I sat up once more. 'What is the matter
ANDREAI watched as the boys turned around to look at me. There was worry in their eyes for me. It broke my heart that things had come to this. I had not planned to give so much pain to them, but it had happened anyway. There was definitely nothing that I could have done to stop it. But, right now, it was important to ignore my own pain and focus instead on what was happening in front of me.I took several steps towards them, my fingers curling around my robe as I looked right at them. I promise I will talk to you guys together when this is all over, but... "What’s wrong, Andrea?" Nikolai asked softly.I took a deep breath, my fingers tightening even more around the robe. "I can’t let you go," I blurted out.Raul stepped forward, his eyes soft as he looked at me. "What are you saying, Andrea? The pack needs to be protected, and I just can’t stay back just like that. It’s important to get things done. If anything bad happens to people, I will never be able to forgive myself," he said
ANDREAI felt like I was drowning in something, and I struggled to rise to my feet. But for some reason, I was not able to do any of that. I panted in horror, and before long, my eyes were open. I saw nothing but darkness, and the pain was mildly suffocating. What the hell was going on? I slowly tried to move my hands once more, but it seemed like they were stuck on something. I couldn’t move it, and I had the insane thought that it would get worse with time."Who is there?" I screamed in horror.There was no response. Instead, it seemed like the darkness was sinking into my own skin. No, I couldn’t be afraid of the dark right now. I must find a way to get the hell out of here. I can’t continue this way."Show yourself! I wish to be free right now because you have no idea who you’re dealing with. I’m the Luna of this damn pack, and it will always remain like that till the end of time. The Alphas of the Red Moon Pack would slay you in a second if you didn’t do something about this! I
