Angela's POVStanding at the gate of Lillo's compound, everything about her father rush into my head. "Should I go in, or should I just go back home instead?" Confusion washed me down as I glance around the compound filled with lots of trees springing out their fruits, with that lovely bungalow sitting in the middle of the compound. I don't like coming to this compound, for it reminds me of so many things that I wouldn't want to remember, but for my friend, Lillo, I just can not restrain myself from coming here just like that. Lillo has been an exceptional and accommodating confidant to me since our childhood days, and she has been of great benefit to me since then. And even that very day my dad was hospitalized, Lillo came around, and stood by me all through those trying moments, abandoning most classes of her studies, just to keep me warm and assured that all would be okay again. Going to school was the last thing I could ever think of at that time. The heart-wrenching death of
Syrill's povIt's been two days and I still haven't set my eyes on Angela. Where could she be? She hasn't attended the training for days now, and that's my major reason for going out into gatherings, to see if I could find my mate. Now the moon goddess has been so kind enough to make our paths cross, but fate still wouldn't let us be. I just hope she's fine wherever she is. The thought of my missing mate makes me lose more concentration than I thought, to everything I do. And as it seems nothing else matters more to me till she's found. I understand my father doesn't want me to have anything to do with the outskirts of our pack, but I don't think I can ever adhere to such orders for now, even though it's coming from the head Alpha. I'm now the new alpha of this great Silver Moon Pack, and I can't take orders from anyone, except my father. His reign back then was a great blessing to our pack, even though he didn't rule with his Luna very close to him. I need to correct that impressio
Nella's povThat stupid step daughter of mine, I curse the day our paths crossed! She's always been a thorn in my flesh, a piercing ache deep down in my heart that has refused to go away, and I hate her with so much passion that I've got left in me! The day I lost my very own flesh, was the very same day I vowed never to make her happy and even let peace reign for a second in her life! She's complaining that she doesn't know why I hate her that much, and I say, that's just but a tiny prick of what I've got in store for her! Her life would be the very worst of the worst!"Come on, Nella… why not stop pacing around already?!" My friend Jenny says, standing up from her rocking, woven, cane chair. That very chair was my stupid husband's best when he was still here. And each time my eyes transport to that areas, I just feel even worse than ever. The sight of it reminds me of my late daughter's last sit on it before she was shoved out the door by her evil father, rolled down those old fa
Angela's POVChilling and seeing Barbie series on Netflix in the living room, a chilled bottle of freshly made fruit nectar which I made some couple of hours before I left for my training, is resting nonchalantly on the table, coupled with a bowl of wafers and cookies I prepared some two to three days back, lying helplessly in a bowl. I take a bite from a piece of my cookie, relishing the milky taste as I take my time to chew, gently, and a soft knock comes on the door. I love eating snacks, but my step mom never allows me to. She knows I can make them pretty well, and she always likes asking me to make 'a whole lot for the house', that's her statement, but I'll end up tasting not even a bit from any of the different designs I'll end up making. But since I've been here at Lillo's house, everything has been going excellently. Thank goodness her dad travelled and isn't going to be back any time soon. I return the glass of my juice back to the table, as I stand up to take the door. A g
Alpha Syrill's pov"Did you find her there?!" "No, Alpha. Her friend, Lillo says she left here a couple of hours ago.""Left.. to where?! Ask her! Fiind out!""Yes, she has told us. She's back at her home already, Alpha." "What?! Her home..? Get the fucking hell out of that place immediately and go to her now! Don't you dare waste even a minute more where you are!"I can't imagine staying for the whole of today without settling my eyes on my mate. I can no longer handle this. I need to have her close and keep her to myself, make her happy and make sure she's safe at all times. And even when I'm not around her, I should still be able to protect what the moon goddess has blessed me with. She's a treasure to behold, and I just can't wait to have her and be between her thighs always. Shortly as I pace around in frustration, a very strong feeling wash me down as my wolf, Syrillan begins to act all restless. "My Mate…!" My heart bleeds…I know I'm trying so hard to protect myself from b
Angela's POVI've always watched movies on how young men treat and pamper the women they cherish in their lives, but this, is certainly not what I've ever seen. Everyone in our pack who finds a mate is always very happy, and the glow all over would send a straight message to all who care to understand. And this I'm feeling with my mate, I feel so different and, should I say special? The different ways he treats me and shows me so much affection gets me worried most of the times, making me wonder if I'm actually letting him do too much for me each time he runs up and down for my safety, and worries too much about me. I've seen dad and mom do things together before, but certainly not in this unexplainable manner which I'm experiencing from my mate. The way he looks into my eyes sparks up the lightings of affection in me, and it makes me want to be even closer; but I'm still scared, 'cause I don't want to get hurt like I hear most girls say their mates always do to them. Lillo even told
Syrill's povWhen we thought that all was good again, now a totally different one decided to surface. The issue of rogues from the Black Moon Pack has been a thorn in our flesh for ages now, and their Alpha, Jerey, has always been a terrible man who other neighboring packs dread. But as for my pack, never will my subordinates be scared of him. Not to talk of me, Alpha Syrill! If Jerey wants war, I won't hesitate to grant his heart desires, and I'll lead the war myself! I'm not a weak alpha, irrespective of the fact that I want everyone around me to happy and cheerful, that doesn't mean I don't know what to do per time! Jerey is trying my patience, and he'll hear from me soon! Pacing around my room, watching at the same time how my mate is lying so weak and helpless on my bed, I just can't help but wonder if mating with her now is going to be the best like father and mother said, without bringing to book, those culprits who uttered our tradition. I don't want to mate with my mate wit
Alpha Syrill's POV Honestly, I don't seem to understand anything here anymore as my father's words become more like riddles in my ears as each drops. I stare as confusion wash me down, soaking my pants as beads of sweat streams down my body. "No one wants to have anything to do with that woman ever, because her so-called grandmother is from a very deadly lineage everyone is so scared of, and I'm sure she's aware of that too. That's the same woman who has kept her mate in such a terrible condition, that not even the strongest witch doctor of the strongest pack can heal. That woman is a very strong and deadlywitch!""So that means Angela is a witch too?!" Mother throws her hands in the air in surprise.""Angela doesn't seem like it, mom. And I guess that's why the both aren't in good terms, 'cause Angela has been complaining bitterly about her, and I caught her emptying buckets of water on her in their house when my wolf sensed that my mate was in trouble. Angela is her step daughter,
Angela's POVAs I sleep soundly next to Alpha Syrill, a loud and heavy sound wakes me up. It sounds like something is breaking the ground open, and I can feel the vibrations even from the bed. I sit up quickly, my heart racing with fear."What was that?" I ask Alpha Syrill, who has also woken up already."I'm not sure," he says, his voice serious. "But I'm going to find out."He hops out of bed and heads outside, his wolf senses fully alert now. I follow him, grabbing a robe to cover myself up. As we step outside, I can see that other members of the pack have also been awoken by the noise and are coming out of their room."What's happening?" I ask, looking around in confusion."That's what we need to find out now." Alpha Syrill says, scanning the area for any signs of danger.I feel a sense of unease as we walk towards the source of the noise. I can see that Alpha Syrill is tense and alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threat.As we approach the edge of the gat
Alpha Syrill's POVThe next few days are filled with tense preparations as we continue to plan and strategize. We gather as much information as we can about the old woman and her abilities, hoping to find a weakness we can exploit.Beta Kryl returns from his trip, bringing with him new reinforcements from neighboring packs. We are stronger now, but still, the thought of Ansin out there, in the hands of the old woman, weighs heavily on us all.One night, as I sit alone in my office, pouring over maps and notes, I feel a sudden presence behind me. I turn to see Angela standing there, her eyes red from crying."What's wrong?" I ask, standing up and walking over to her."I can't help but feel like this is my fault," she says, her voice shaking. "If I hadn't gone into labor early, if we had just stayed at home, none of this would have happened.""It's not your fault," I assure her, taking her hand. "We can't control everything that happens in life. But what we can do is work together to ma
Angela's POVI sit in my room, looking at my three children as they play on the floor. They are so innocent and carefree, and I can't help but feel a wave of fear wash over me. What if something decided to happen to them? What if they were hurt or taken away from me?I know that as a mother, I will always worry about their safety. But with the recent events in our pack, my fears have only intensified to a greater level of concern now. The thought of losing any one of them is just so unbearable to my heart.I let out a deep sigh and run my fingers through my hair. "Please, let them be safe," I whisper to myself."Mommy, what's wrong?" my son, Adren asks, looking up at me with big, curious eyes.I put on a smile, not wanting to disturb him with my mood. "Nothing, sweetie. Mommy's just thinking about something very important."My son crawls over to me and pulls on my pants leg. "Can we play with you, Mommy?"I smile down at him, feeling grateful for their presence. "Of course, my love. L
Syrill's POVBeta Kryl and Lillo arrive at our pack house, and I can tell from their expressions that they have something important to discuss. I invite them into my office, and after some pleasantries, Beta Kryl begins to speak."Alpha Syrill, we want to let you know that Lillo and I will be going on a trip together for the next two weeks," he says, looking at me with a serious expression."A trip? Is everything alright?" I ask, concerned."Yes, everything is fine. We just want to take some time away to rekindle our love for each other and focus on our relationship," Lillo chimes in.I nod, understanding. "Of course, take all the time you need. Do you have someone to take care of your duties while you're away, Beta Kryl?""Yes, Alpha. We've made arrangements for everything," he assures me.Angela walks into the room, having heard the conversation. "Oh, I'm going to miss you both so much," she says, giving them both a hug."We'll miss you too, my Luna," Lillo says, smiling at her.Bet
Angela's POVLife has never been busier since the birth of our twins. Syrill has been so consumed with pack affairs that he hasn't been able to help much with the babies.I understand that this is supposed to be the job of our maids, but I also love to make sure my family is watched under my care. Maids can be somehow careless sometimes, especially when the whole chores in the house are left under their attendance. They can attend to those chores, while I attend to my babies. Though they help whenever I call for their assistance."Syrill, please I need your help," I plead with him as he walks into the room, after a long day of pack meetings."I'm sorry, Angela. The pack needs me," he says, with a tinge of frustration in his voice."I know the pack needs you, but I need you too. Our children need you.." I reply, my voice tinged with exhaustion."I'm doing everything I can," he says, his tone becoming more defensive."It doesn't feel like enough," I say, tears starting to prick at my ey
Syrill's POVI sit on the couch, watching my beautiful mate and our son, Adren, cuddle up together while they watch the cool breeze blowing outside the window. It is a moment like these that reminds me of how blessed I am to have them in my life. They are my greatest gift from the moon goddess.All of a suddenly, Angela's peaceful expression turns to a grimace of pain, and her screams fill the room. I jump up, alarmed, and rush to her side."Angela, what's wrong?" I ask urgently, placing my hand on her belly."My water just broke, Alpha." she gasps out between breaths. "It's time."I feel a sense of panic and excitement mix together in my chest. This is it, the moment we've been waiting for. I scoop her up in my arms and quickly make my way to the car. Looking back at me, I see little Adren running after us as I take quick steps out of the room.Getting to the car, we drive to the hospital, I can feel Angela's grip on my hand tightening with every contraction. I try to keep her calm a
Angela's POVI pick up my phone, seeing Nikki's name flashing on the screen. "Hey, Nikki. What's going on?" I ask, wondering why she's calling me.But as soon as she starts talking, I can hear the tears in her voice. "Angela, I need to talk to you. I need to apologize for everything I've done to you in the past. I know I hurt you so badly, and I'm so sorry."I'm taken aback by her words, not sure how to respond. "Nikki, it's okay. I've forgiven you already," I say, trying to comfort her.But Nikki continues to cry, her words coming out in between sobs. "No, it's not okay. I was so jealous of you, and I took it out on you. I can't believe how blind I was. And now Marcus has betrayed me, and I have no one to turn to.""Wait, what do you mean?" I say to her, interrupting her from continuing."He's been having an affair.. with his secretary." She says, her voice barely above a whisper.My heart sinks at her words. I never would have thought that Marcus, who always seemed so devoted to Nik
Syrill's POVAs I walked down the hallway towards my bedroom, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that Beta Kryl and Lillo had gone back to their home. Their tension was palpable, and I hoped they could work through whatever issues they were facing.As I neared my room, I saw the young human girl I had promised to help standing in front of my door, holding her baby in her arms."Alpha Syrill," she said, looking up at me with wide eyes. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I didn't know who else to turn to."I approached her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, what's wrong?"She looked down at her baby, tears brimming in her eyes. "I...I don't know how to take care of him. I don't have any money or resources. I'm afraid I'm not a good mother."My heart broke for her and the baby. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out. Come with me."I led her to a nearby guest room, where we could talk more privately. "First of all, you are a good mother. You're doing the best you can for
Lillo's POVI hear the knock on the door and feel a surge of reluctance, but I still get up to answer it. Kryl and Rowan were here! I open the door with a wide grin on my face."Hey, guys! Come on in," I greet them cheerfully, stepping back to let them into my home.As they walk in, I notice Kryl's expression change. His eyes narrow as he looks past me to the living room. My heart sinks as his eyes meet his."Lillo, who is he?" Kryl asks, his voice tight.I hesitate, not sure how to answer. "Uh, just a friend," I say, hoping to diffuse the situation.But Kryl doesn't look convinced. "A friend?" he repeats, his tone becoming more aggressive.Rowan steps in, trying to ease the tension. "Hey, man, let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe we should sit down and talk about this."Kryl nods, but I can tell he's still upset. I lead them to the living room, trying to think of what to say next.As we all sit down, Kryl turns to me. "Lillo, we've been mates for a while now. Why would you do this to
