ANDREA"What are you saying?" I asked at once.Avery shrugged. "I’m just saying what has been on everyone’s lips. What wrong did I do, eh?"I took a deep breath before siting down firmly on the chair. This was just too much. I could tolerate it when Meade made such comments because I didn’t expect anything from her, but when it came to Avery, it hurt more than I could even put into words.I slowly looked up at Avery who was frowning as she looked at me. "It’s just that I can’t believe that you would also repeat that question and talk to me like that," I mumbled.She sighed, and at the same moment the door opened. Lily came in with the tea. She smiled as she placed the tea on the shelf. I signalled for her to leave, and she did as I had told her. With Lily gone, I pulled my hair to the side easily. "You don’t see what you did wrong, do you?"Avery groaned. "What exactly have I done that you keep stressing on? I’m your friend, and it’s also my right to talk to you about these things. P
ANDREA I pushed Nikolai away slightly as I staggered backwards. "It’s none of you business if I do something strenuous or not," I snapped at Lucien. Taking a deep breath, I shifted my gaze back at Nikolai. He was looking confused at my reaction, and I instantly felt awful for treating him badly again in the presence of Lucien. He didn’t deserve that. "Nikolai, are you going to help me with the training?" I asked lamely. He shrugged in response. "I’m so sorry but I have to do some of my duties today. I have been neglecting it for sometime, so it’s important to fix things," he muttered. I nodded in understanding. "That’s ok," I mumbled. Licking my lips softly, I slowly stepped away from him, and tried hard not to trip on my own feet. I was fond of embarrassing myself and that wouldn’t do today. "I should go back to my room them," I managed. "But..." I shook my head with a soft smile. "Get on with your work and don’t worry about me. Take care, Nikolai," I whispered as I turned ar
LUCIANI looked at Andrea as I held her in my hands. She looked completely stunned that Nikolai was standing at the door, and that annoyed me a bit. She had to focus on me, and not him. With a grunt, I used a tip of my finger to stir her face to mine. Her eyes were slightly unfocused as she looked at me."Andrea, I need this," I whispered as I tried to lean towards her, only for her to kick me lightly on the feet. Her gaze moved over to Nikolai once more. "Nikolai, let me explain," she whispered.I stared in amazement as she ran to his direction, but he was fast as he walked out of the training centre. What the fuck? Why did she feel so guilty because he was here? She was my mate, and I had the right to kiss her, hold her and do whatever I wanted with her. So...My feet connected to the tires on the floor, causing my hands to fly to my mouth. I hate this! A little voice in my head informed me that I had done the same to her a few days to her. And, I realised for the first time that
ANDREAThis can't be happening again. I couldn't allow Nikolai to be so mad at me for the second time in a row. I had gone through a lot to make him calm down and talk to me, but everything was going down the drain."Nikolai!" I called the moment I stepped out of the training centre.He didn't turn to look at me, instead he walked as fast as he could down the path that led to the fountain. My heart literally broke at the coldness I was experiencing from him. This was definitely not fair.I bit my lips as I looked back at the training centre. Lucien was in there, and he was pissed. Though, I didn't care. He was the reason I was not able to bond with Nikolai. What was he thinking when he kissed me? Maybe, he was a sadist. He had said so many awful things to me, and I was an idiot to kiss him back in there. Damn it!With a grunt, I looked back at the path that Nikolai travelled in. How could someone so quiet have so much anger inside of him? I had to pacify him. With that thought in min
LUCIAN"Ok, man! There is some news about what happened in the North Area this morning. They were trying to distribute the..."I was softly tapped on the shoulder, and I looked up diatractedly. Raul had his brow shot lightly in defiance. "When did you come?" I queried, truing not to show how much he unnerved me."A long time ago. Where are you lost, brother?"I sighed as I shrugged Raul hand off, looking back at the video in front of me. "So many things are going wrong, Raul. There is an enemy in the pack, and we don't even know who it is," I whispered."What are you talking about?"I shoved the phone into his hands as I leaned back on the chair, slightly anxious for him to watch the video to the end. I may have some issues about sharing my mate with my brothers, but I knew I needed them to sort out this mess. I couldn't ignore that I couldn't handle any of these on my own. It was just not possible for that to happen."So, I don't see what you're trying to show me, man," Raul was sayi
LUCIAN I moved quickly to the table, almost hitting Raul on the head with my forehead. I did not apologise for it, and focused instead on the video in front of me. At first, it wasn't clear, but slowly I was able to see that it was a guard who had tampered with the car."Who the fuck is this bastard?" I snapped.The security officials shook. "I'm not able to figure it.""Then, zoom into the damn video!" I shouted.I didn't need to order this twice because he did as I told him at once. I sighed in frustration. This was not getting clearer at all. Instead, it seemed even worse than it had previously.I cursed as I slammed the desk in rage, straightening up. Raul was snapping at them to do some more colouring so it could be clearer, but I knew it was worthless. "That's enough," I grumbled. I could feel their gazes on me, and it made my hands pull into a fist in anger. "What do you want? That we should leave this whole thing and pretend that someone had not tried to attack our Luna?"
LUCIAN "No!" I blinked in shock at Andrea's words. Was she refusing because I was involved in this? She avoided my gaze, instead, she was looking at my brother instead."What I mean is, I need to switch a bit, so it wouldn't look like I'm neglecting my pack duties. I have not been able to do anything for as long as I can remember, and it doesn't really look good on me," She mumbled.Raul laughed as he moved to her, placing a hand on her shoulders. "You worry too much, Luna Andrea.""I have to," she grumbled.He nodded lightly. "Yes, that's a quality of a Luna, but you have to understand that the people also gets that you have recently being in an accident, and they don't expect you to jump right into servitude right now. Don't be like Lucien who always thinks about work at every minute. It's so boring," Raul whined.I glared at his back as I clamped my hands together angrily. "I'm still here, you know?"Raul flicked his wrist at me. "I can see that, but you're not important right no
LADY MEADE"He refused?" Valerie asked in disbelief.I frowned as I hit the fan against my thigh, remembering Lucien's harsh words. It was so irritating the more I thought of how he easily rejected Andrea doing the pack work. It has been the only way I could have dealt with her so easily, but now, it was closed."You don't need to shout," I snapped."I'm sorry, my lady," she said quickly. "It's just that I'm surprised. You had so much confidence that you could easily get the Alpha to do your bidding."I glared at nothing as we moved closer to the training centre. Almost immediately, the door pulled open and troops of guards moved through it. What the fuck was going on?I signalled for my maid to come close. "Did you know about this?" I snapped.She bowed. "Yes, my lady," she informed me at once.I slapped the fan against my thigh harshly. This was not what I was thinking right? When I saw Lucien the last time, he wasn't looking too upset, but engrossed in his work."Tell me what you k
ANDREAIt’s been a week, and I was starting to feel like myself again. There had been apologies and whatnot, but my father-in-law had not been able to do that. Instead, he walked out of the pack and told us not to find him. I still didn’t know what to think about that, but I just hoped with all I had that there would be no more problems for him in the future.Now, I was heading to the dining area to dine with my friend. It felt like the most beautiful thing in the world right now, and I didn’t wish to stop thinking about it."She is here," my friends said the moment I stepped in.Lily, Lucinda, and Amelia giggled behind me, and I rolled my eyes. Despite all of my emotions, it felt good to be able to look at my friends. They complimented my golden gown with their black, red, and silver suits. Raul and Nikolai stretched their hands towards me, and I quickly moved over to them, placing my hands in theirs. It felt so good to be able to do that and be where I was with them, and I didn’t wan
ANDREAI was seated by Lucian’s side, with Nikolai and Raul flanking us as we looked at the elders, who had their heads bowed in submission. This was so weird, and I looked at Lucian for support, and he squeezed my hand in response before facing them once more."I called you all here because you’ve really hurt me. I have been someone who has taken the pack to greater heights all through my years, but what I got when I found out about my mate was that you tried to kill her," Lucian paused for effect.He signalled to his friends, and they placed their hands on my shoulders. "This is the speech you wanted to hear, right? But I won’t give you that," he said firmly.They rose their heads as they looked at the Alpha in shock. I looked at the boys I fell in love with, and it felt like my heart was about to burst with the love I was feeling."We," they said as one. "We are sorry for everything we’ve done in this pack so far," he muttered.The shock and awe were written all over the elders fac
ANDREA'Maybe, we would definitely die here,' Kezav mumbled in panic.I shook my head lightly, hoping that wouldn’t happen. I really hoped that my mates found me quickly. If they were arguing as usual, it would be more difficult to do, so they mustn’t fight, but cooperate with each other.I swallowed hard as the pain in my wrists intensified and my eyes swarm in circles. I was so damn hungry and thirsty, but I didn’t want to eat a thing. I wondered if the elders would serve me poison or something. It would really be a waste. I still wanted to see my mates once more, and tell them how much I loved them, and hoped they would not separate me from themselves.Those thoughts died a natural death as the door suddenly creaked open. The faces of the elders were so hazy, but I knew they were coming towards me."Shut up!" They screamed suddenly.I had not realised that I had been speaking at all. I sighed as I was pulled harshly up, my wrists slowly disintegrated from my own body."Do you reall
RAULI subconsciously placed my hand over my head in a bid to control the pain that I was feeling. Goddess, what the hell was going on with me? I sighed lightly as I slowly slid my eyes open. The whole place was so hazy, and the headaches seemed to triple, like something was after me. "What happened?" I asked in a slurred tone that didn’t seem to belong to me.Licking my sticky lips, I turned around, and the whole place was slowly becoming clearer. It seemed I was in my room. No, that wasn’t a probability; I was indeed here. But wasn’t I...'They are not burning. They are still in their wolf form,' I could hear those bastards cry in panic.I could remember how one of them had taken advantage of my situation and stabbed me. Damn! It must have been a silver blade, because nothing else could have brought me down that fast. But, were my brothers able to subdue the pack too?I honestly hoped so.With a soft sigh, I calmly placed my feet on the floor as I slowly rose from the bed. At first
LADY MEADEI could hear the sounds of people screaming and shouting as I walked out of the pack house, but it didn’t deter me from moving forward. That useless Andrea had almost spoiled all my plans when she intercepted me, but I was smarter than she was with everything that I had, and she was never going to win against me.When I get out of this mess, I will have to find out how I am going to handle her. It was important to put her right in the place she belonged, and I would gladly do all that on a platter. I have had enough of her nonsense.Pulling my hoodie over my head, I moved through the shortcut to the dungeon. As usual, the prisoners were waiting to be released. It never made sense to me why they were so bitter. Well, I wouldn’t be the same as they were. I’m going to fight for myself and my future.That was enough for me to move directly to the guard I had paid. I had no idea that he was also a part of the Blue Moon Pack, but that was okay. He was definitely going to call my
LUCIANRaul hit the ground with a thud, and I swallowed the lump in my throat as I moved towards the battle. There was an unquestionable desire to kill someone who had hurt my brother, but Nikolai was faster, snapping his head out of his body. The bastard lay dismembered.I moved over to Raul, who was now in his human form and was clutching his side in pain. "Are you ok?" I managed as I shifted back. His eyes drooped close, and I could tell that he was in pain for some reason, and that hurt me a whole lot more than I could put into words. My eyes slowly accessed the injury, and I realised that it was a silver dagger that had done the fatal wound. Goddess, this was too much! How could things just shift like this? It was too painful to be real, and I hated that my brother was at the receiving end of it."You would be fine," I mumbled softly.Nikolai suddenly pulled me up, and I realised he had shifted too. "What are you doing? The whole ground is filled with bloody fights, and you keep
LUCIAN“Shift!” I screamed to the soldiers behind me as I went right into the heart of the fight.One of the men came at me and I easily pulled him by the neck before snapping his head out of his body. There were several cries around, and my eyes sought my brothers who were also busy fighting like their lives depended on it. This was a moment that we had to use all we had to get the results that we needed, and I was going to be a part of that win.“Keep fighting brothers!” I snapped through the mind-link as I turned back toward the crowd.I hit whoever was in front of me with my dagger, knowing that it was either I died or they did. The oppositions were also shifting into their wolf form, but I held on to my human form, knowing it was not yet time for me to shift.Where was that bastard?My eyes shifted to red as I tried to seek him out, and I finally found a figure hiding at the bark of a tree. It was him. I growled as I stabbed the idiot who came at me before moving over to him. Alp
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
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
