Earlier,

"What happened to her?" Ashford asked as they laid Diana on the bed.

Her head was staggering to the side, and her eyes and lips were flushed white and pale. Her long eyelashes twirled around each other. Her eyes bulged out and swelled as if she had been crying for a very long time. She was putting on a matching gown to his red outfit. There was a red necklace on her neck.

Evelyn was holding her hand, and there was this sad look on her face. Then she raised her head and glared at Ashford.

"Why are you asking that? We should be asking you. You should know everything about your bride and stop asking stupid questions." She snarled. "You have only one responsibility, and you failed at that."

"She is not my responsibility, and I have a bride; it is high time you let her know that I am not interested in her at all," Ashford yelled back.

Neon took a deep breath. "Now is not the time to fight. We have to help her."

Evelyn turned her glare towards Neon, and he bit his lips, stari

    "There was someone out there that tried to harm you, Phoebe. I will tell Alpha Dean about it; first I have to find Alexa. Beta Alex said Adrian nodded in agreement. "Be careful, Beta." Alex shrugged. "I will go with a gamma; don’t worry about me." He turned around and left. Adrian watched him until he was out of sight before turning to Phoebe. He suddenly felt like a jerk for not going after Luna or thanking her for saving his sister. She had taken the hit for his sister, and that meant a lot to him. "Phoebe, go to your room and don’t come out until it is morning, and I don’t want to see you anywhere near the center of both packs. Do you understand me?" Phoebe's brows furrowed. "That means I can’t go to Cruster Toon?" "Yes." He said. He held her shoulder and stared down at her when he saw the sad look on her face. "It's for the better; you must be safe for us and me. Now let me walk you home." "Can’t I check up on Luna before going to my room?" Adrian sighed. "Fine, let’s go."

    Ashford gulped down all the content before answering. "Nothing; I was watching her injury heal, and why did she faint the other time?" Bartram walked to Luna and covered her with the blankets. He took a seat on her bed and pointed at a chair for Ashford to take. Ashford did as he was instructed; he pulled out the chair and sat on it. Bartram took a deep breath. Ashford had learned a lot about his daughter in a short time. There was no need to hide anything from him, and he was also mated to her. "I added a sleeping dose to her water." He paused. "Don’t judge me first; I gave her the dose because she kept looking at my neck after her fangs came out. I had no other way to make her unconscious before she headed outside and revealed all her secrets to the pack." "What will they do if they know?" Ashford asked. "She will be banished from the pack or even killed. I can’t bear to lose her, and since there is a monster on the loose claiming he wants my daughter’s blood, I am sure one of t

    Trevor sat down beside his grandfather after checking if anyone new had entered the pack. He had asked his grandfather about the bloody handwriting. His grandfather had been thinking about it, and when he finally opened his mouth to speak, he paused again before taking a deep breath. Trevor could not find anyone suspicious or new to the pack. That means the girl was not from their pack, or she had been in the pack for a very long time. He had found Tristan and the Betas of his pack inspecting the signs the person had left for them. He had to communicate with Phoebe through the mental link. She had not spoken to him since he had asked them to run home. He wondered if they were okay. He had to leave and come back when his grandfather was ready to talk. He got up and pecked his grandfather's cheeks. "I will be back, grandfather. He said. He walked out of his grandfather's room and walked outside. He decided to talk to Phoebe there, and then he opened up his mind link and connected to

    When Bartram woke up the next morning. He made some noise at the door as he dried his wet clothes. The noise was loud, and he silently opened the door. A man was sitting and leaning at the door when the door opened. He lost his balance and fell into the room, his back flat on the floor. Bartram stood over him, and their eyes connected. Bartram's brows furrowed as he glanced down at the man. He couldn't shake the thoughts from his head. 'Another vampire?' He thought. Neon got to his feet and began dusting his clothes. "Morning Beta Bartram." "Who are you?" Bartram asked. "Why were you leaning on the door?" Neon ignored his question. "Our queen surely has a handsome father." Bartram ignored the compliment just as Neon had ignored his question. "Who are you?" Neon's lips broke into a smile. "Neon, Ashford's best friend." Bartram nodded. "Okay? So what are you doing here?" "I came with Ashford yesterday; he let him in at the front of the building. I thought we were leaving soone

    "You already agreed to be his Luna." "I know. I live in Lunar Crest; pursuing a relationship with you is forbidden." She wanted to add more if she could be the Luna of the pack. She could make Adrian change some rules for the werewolf or do it herself. But she was gifted with two mates. "Forbidden does not change anything; you are my bride, and it's high time you fill your space even though it's only for once." He paused. "My mother wants me to get married to her friend's daughter." Luna was stunned and confused. She had Alexa in the pack to battle with, and then there was also a girl in the vampire kingdom who wanted her mate. "What's her name?" "Diana." He answered. She was supposed to be married, but she lost consciousness, and the engagement couldn't hold. I already told my mother that I couldn't get married to her. "There is no way you would marry her." Luna yelled. She looked at him, and when she saw the surprised look on his face, she looked away from him. "You can do w

    "You said he was your only friend, and you don’t know anything about him? Who was he? A vampire? A werewolf? Or what?" Ashford asked. Luna tried to think that Assy had been her best friend, but she knew nothing about him. Only the fact that he only comes at night made her feel like a jerk. How was she going to find him when she didn’t even know his identity? She only knew about his dislikes and likes. "I know his likes and dislikes, and that is enough for me." Luna said. "You see why I said he was imaginary?" Bartram asked Ashford. Luna was expecting him to side with her father, and she tried to hide the inner anger within her. If he could side with her father, she was going to snap at him and storm off. Adrian had not believed her when she said she was pushed from the roof by Alexa, and now he won’t believe her? Ashford shook his head. No, Beta, Assy was real. I believe her." Luna raised her head to look at him, and the words brushed over her heart. Her anger was gone, replaced

    Adrian sat on a chair in his room, writing down some stuff on paper. Trevor had told him how his grandfather was killed. Adrian did not let Phoebe sleep alone; she slept in his room, and he watched over her. Whoever that person was, it was sure that they had something against the alphas too. Or was he only after the girl and wanted the search team to be quick with it? Adrian dropped the sheet as soon as he was done writing the names of people who were clearly suspects. His father had been told about the thing going on and had told him not to worry too much. The person was going to be caught; they could not hide behind doors forever. If he lets Phoebe out and acts like he has gotten the man's threat and does not care about it, is the man going to come after Phoebe faster now? He groaned and tossed the sheets, which floated and shattered around the messy floor. Piles and liters of paper were scattered on the ground. Even though he had let Phoebe sleep in his room, she woke up and went

    Ashford closed the door as soon as Adrian and Phoebe stepped inside. He held a box in his hand—the same box Phoebe had dropped earlier. Adrian helped Phoebe to a chair and tried to comfort her; she was breathing heavily, and tears threatened to fall. Her hands were trembling more than he had expected. His sister was terrified. Luna bent over Phoebe and held her hand. "Don’t worry, Phoebe. Nothing will happen to you." Phoebe slowly nodded in approval of what Luna had said, then she glanced around. "I lost the gift I brought for you; I can’t believe I lost it after spending hours on it. I'm so sorry, Luna." Ashford, who was standing nearby, handed the box to her. Phoebe flashed him a smile. Although she was trying to hide her fear behind that smile, he could see it cracking. She was just trying to appear strong. Ashford's brows furrowed; that man had done a lot lately. "How did he know you both were coming here?" Luna asked. "I don’t know," Adrian answered almost immediately. "We d

    Alpha Dean's stern voice echoed through the clearing, his words laced with authority. "Your matebrought at threat to our pack, even though she fixed everything. She can't change the fact that she is still a danger to this pack. Hybrids are forbidden, and I am already doing her a favor by sparing her the dungeon," he declared.Ashford instinctively pulled Luna closer, shielding her with his protective embrace. "No one is taking her to the dungeon. If you all don't want her, I can take her," he asserted, his voice firm with conviction."Fine," Alpha Dean conceded, his tone relenting slightly. "As long as she is far away from this pack, I have no problem with it."Luna's eyes welled with tears, her vision blurring as Alpha Dean's harsh words pierced her heart. The possibility of leaving her father and venturing into the unknown was daunting."Dean, let's think this through. You can't send her to the dungeon, and you also can't cast her away," Bartram pleaded, his voice trembling with desp

    Monsell peered at her. "Do we have a deal?""Luna glanced at the staff and then looked at Adrian, who was shaking his head and asking her not to hand the staff over to him. Luna stared at Monsell; if she refused to give him the staff, he was going to keep on using Ashford's body.Giving him the staff was going to be a waste; Ashford won't want her handing the staff to him."We have no deal; I am not giving you the staff, but you are letting go of him."Monsell's lips curled up into a sinister smile. ",Already making the wrong decision?"Luna's brows furrowed at him, and she gripped tightly to the staff until her knuckles turned white."I have always made the right decision; you are going to let go of him."Luna lunged at Monsell, attacking him with a kick. He dove away with a wide grin on his face. Luna realized that if she fought Monsell, she was only hurting Ashford's body.She paused, looking at Monsell as he stood next to her. An idea popped into her head."You want the staff, don'

    Ashford led the way towards the pack; Luna was by his side while Bartram and Ashford were walking behind them. Luna clutched tightly to her staff, even though they were heading to the pack to stop Monsell. Luna felt uneasy; the man was out there using her powers, and he even shifted his shape to look like her.She promised herself to get rid of him as soon as possible. Soon they were standing in between the borders. The border between Cruster Toon and Lunar Crest There were several dead bodies laying on the floor. Guilt gnawed at Luna's conscience as she stared at the lifeless bodies. The weight of responsibility hung heavy on her shoulders, her heart burdened by the knowledge that their deaths were a consequence of her existence. If she hadn't been born or if she had been killed alongside her mother, Everyone would be safe; no one would be dead.The snarling of the creatures could be heard, followed by the growling of a wolf. The battle seems hard, and Luna couldn't wait for it to sto

    "What do we do?" Luna questioned. "We have to find something that could harm Monsell. The last time I tried to hurt him, I couldn't hurt him. He placed a metal bar in my arm, and I am sure he might have something hidden on me."Ashford glanced at her, and he placed a hand on her hand. "Calm down; we will be fine, I promise."She offered him a warm smile, even though her smile was shaking. She placed her head on his; they were taking a ride to the pack. It was far away, and they didn't want to run all the way. The Monsells had horses, and when they found the horses, the horses were terrified. Thanks to Luna, the horses were able to let them take them.They were sitting in the carriage, and Neon and Bartarm were sitting on a horse outside the carriage. Luna and Bartram were left to stay inside, Luna's hands trembling as she clutched the edges of her seat during the ride and her eyes darting anxiously over the passing scenery. Ashford wondered what was going on in her mind."What if I can

    Ashford stared at her as she raised the sword to slit his head with it. Just when he thought she was going to kill him with her sword, she paused and bent to his height. Ashford stared at her weakly, and he placed his hand on the injury. He had to heal, think of something else to do to her, and save himself from her."You tried to kill yourself just to talk to me?" Luna muttered. "I guess I will have to listen to you."Ashford's eyes lit up amidst the pain he felt around his body. He nodded his head at her and coughed out, placing his hand on his mouth. He wiped blood off his face."Thank you, Luna," he replied."Why do you call me Luna?""That's your name; don't tell me you forgot."Luna's hands tightened around the sword's hilt, and her eyes narrowed into slits. 'Are you ready to go straight to the point?' she hissed, her voice laced with barely contained fury."I am." He answered. "I'm Ashford, your first mate.""Go on, what made you think I would believe that you are not Monsell bu

    Monsell took a step forward, with Luna holding his hand."We will throw them in the dungeon; that is exactly what we would do." Monsell said.Luna's lips curled up into an evil smile. "Let's get them!"Monsell grinned and removed her hands from his; he broke the metal he had placed on her wrist. He stepped backward."I would handle the rest of the stuff; get rid of them." He ordered.Luna nodded. "Sure."Monsell turned around and began walking away. Ashford couldn't let him leave like that. Ashford hurried after him, catching him by the hand and throwing a punch at his face. Just as Ashford was about to throw another punch, a hand held his wrist. He raised his head to look at who was holding him; it was Luna.There was no way Ashford was going to hurt Luna; she had no idea what she was doing. She pulled Ashford's hand away and kicked him in the stomach. The impact hit him, making him fall to his knees. Monsell chuckled and walked away, leaving Luna with them.Ashford scrambled to his f

    "Now, start the initiation." Monsell repeated. "We have to get her on our side before anyone comes for her.""You are going to regret this!" Luna yelled.Monsell smirked at her. "Not really; you will belong to the Hybire soon."Everyone in the room stood to their feet, reciting a quote. The quote was so old that it was affecting Luna's ears. She covered her ears and began screaming; her ears began bleeding, and blood began streaming down her face. She screamed in pain as memories filled her head, starting from the time that he met her father to the time that she was growing up.Soon, the memories of when she met her mother began to fade away. She tried to grab hold of her mother, but everything disappeared. The only thing she could see was Monsell; he was smiling at her and taking her hand.The memories of when she was with Assy all faded away. Assy became Monsell, and he was in every scene that he was in. He was smiling at her and taking her hand, helping her with everything.Luna's e

    "Whatever you want to do to me would never work." Luna snarled at the man in front of her. "You think taking my blood and using it to your own benefit is going to work as you thought? My mate is going to find you! And end you!"A slap hit her face, and the impact made her face move to the side. The chain gripped her hand tightly as she fell to her knees. Liquid filled her mouth, and when she spit it out, it was blood.Monsell bent to her height and cupped her face in her hands. His lips curled into a smile, and he pulled off his coat hat, revealing his face. Luna's eyes widened; his face wasn't what she thought it was going to be. His eyes were bright green, his hair was long and curly, and his jaw was chiseled. He was handsome, and Luna hated to admit it. He had a scar in between his eye sockets."You should learn to speak to me politely; do I look like a monster?" Monsell asked. "Your mate didn't try to save you the last time I took his sister, but your best friend appeared. He tried

    Luna's eyes opened in the dim, dark room; she was chained to a wall. She glanced around the room, trying to check where she was. She tried to get away from the wall, but it was impossible. She tried to use her power, but it was of no use. She glanced around the room, trying to remember where she was and why she was in the cell.She had been with Ashford and the rest outside, and she had killed all the creatures. Someone had knocked her out and brought her here; she couldn't remember anyone's face. There was a black smoke around them when she was knocked out."Ashford?" She called out. "Are you there?"There was no response.She tried to free herself again, but she suddenly felt weak. Weaker than she had ever felt, her body hurt as she tried again."Ashford?" She called again.She slapped herself for thinking that Ashford was near her. If he were, he wouldn't let her be chained to the wall like a slave. He couldn't do it, and then it hit her.
