KadeI think I must have committed a terrible offence that made the Moon goddess hate me to the extent of pairing me with an Omega who had a witch best friend.The girl was weird!Knowing there was no love lost between werewolves and witches, she made a witch her best friend and even trusted her with her life. Foolish!Everyone knows how helpful but cunning witches can be and the last thing to do was to trust them. But here was my mate, trusting some witch. By the Moon goddess, I wish I could leave the witch behind and go to my pack with my mate, but guilt filled me the moment I saw her close to tears. I didn't want to hurt the poor girl's feelings after sensing the great level of closeness she and the witch shared.What is wrong with me?!I am the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack that cared less about hurting anyone's feelings. I find delight in crushing people's feelings. But this little girl that I just met was already messing with my head, reviving my conscience back to life. Consc
EsmeraldaFor the first time in my life, I experienced heartbreak. This was not the regular heartbreak I was used to, this heartbreak was different. The heartbreak from a loved one. My mate.The heartbreak from a loved one is the most painful heartbreak ever. It comes from within, shattering the heart into a thousand pieces, crushing the soul and leaving one vulnerable. My heart was shattered.I was broken. I was vulnerable. My hopes of becoming Luna were dashed. No amount of consolation from Selene made me feel better. Nothing could stop my aching heart. Why was the Moon goddess cruel to me? Why did she pair me with someone that made me feel insignificant?! She could have just made me mateless, rather than making me go through much pain. "...you should not be seen or heard, you should be kept hidden and no one must know your identity," His words made me wail louder, not caring if anyone heard my voice. He should have rejected me when he had the chance to. I would have unde
KadeThe moment I opened my eyes, I found myself trapped behind the closed doors of the North wing. Yes, the North wing.Making out objects was difficult as blurriness clouded my eyes, impeding my vision. I could feel the heat in my head as it banged violently and my muscles were weakened by constant aching. My head ached badly as if someone was slamming a hammer hard on it, causing me to support it with my hand as the pain soared through my body. "Where am I?" I whispered tiredly, gasping hard for breath, squinting hard to have a glimpse of the dark room. Soon, blurriness dispersed my eyes as I regained my sharp vision, glancing around the familiar room. I recognized it. The room that held the most painful memory. I cringed my nose in disgust as the air was filled with sweat, saliva, fluid and blood. Lifeless battered bodies laid on the floor, close to each other with pain and anguish in their eyes as they stared into space.Bodies that were battered beyond recognition. But onl
KadeI was jolted awake by the sound of hurrying footsteps of unknown people that sprinted toward my direction. My eyes fluttered open as my vision gradually got accustomed to the large bright room. What was this strange place? Was I still trapped in my subconscious? "Alpha," He called again. This time, his voice was louder and clearer, giving me confirmation of where I was. Turning to the direction of the voice, my eyes met with a weary-looking Silvius with premature eyebags forming beneath his bloodshot eyes. Those dangerous eyes that gave the coldest look now appeared dull, heavily burdened with sleeplessness. A forced smile crept upon his lips as relief and hope washed upon his face, but curiosity also vanished in the same way it appeared.What was making him curious? Irritation rushed through me when I felt foreign hands made their way to my body. While a pair of hands placed a flattened instrument that sent shivers down my bare hairy chest, another pair of hands jotted d
EsmeraldaI yawned tiredly, stretching my hands and legs till I heard a crack sound that filled my satisfaction. I fluttered my eyes open, squinting and shielding them from the brightness of the sun that seeped through the curtain, illuminating the room. My gaze met Selene's small frame that laid on the floor beside me. Almost giving in to the urge that wanted me to wake her, I withdrew my hands, allowing her to enjoy her slumber. Lifting my eyes from the cold dark floor, I was greeted with the most luxurious room. "Woah," I gasped, feeding my curious eyes with the beautiful interiors of the room. I remembered running into this room out of anger the previous night, and it turned out I made the best decision.The room was covered in shades of pink that ran from the top of the high walls to the bottom. A huge pink bed with pink pillows and duvet sat at the centre of the room. The bed was neatly arranged and dust free. I could swear that someone slept there. A small pink table was p
KadeMy thundering footsteps sent all creatures, great and small, to their hiding places. Pups cowered in fear at the roar of my voice, almost seeking refuge in the high walls as I walked past them, proceeding into my office. I couldn't keep calm, anxiety got the best of me as many thoughts flooded my mind. My last response triggered his anger and I couldn't help but think of what would be in the letter. Only the darkest and cruelest words, filled with empty threats. But I was prepared for it. I was ready for anything. I was born ready. "Alpha, what if it is a bomb letter?" Silvius broke the deafening silence that enveloped the room. A smirk played on my lips, "Then we will die together," My eyes fell on his troubled countenance, "Isn't that what you've always wished for as a child? To die with me, your Alpha," "Should I get it for you instead?" His deep voice quivered, weakened with worry and fear as he proceeded to my table, where the letter laid. I shook my head negatively,
PhoebeMy blood boiled in anger when I locked my gaze on the full moon that was obscured by white puffy clouds outside my window. In no time, the clouds will disperse from the Moon, revealing a powerful naked Moon, shining in all its glory as all wolves would be connected to the Moon goddess. And by midnight, I would be howling like a shameless bitch alone in the woods after shifting and running. Except I wasn't alone, my subjects would be howling alongside me. I hated it. The fact that I would be howling and hunting alone without the presence of other members of the Pack made my skin crawl. Werewolves were social animals that related well with one another, but I was on my own, left to rot in the past where there wasn't anything to hunt because only my subjects and I were trapped in it. It was sickening!The long nights were sickening.The loneliness was sickening.The hopelessness was sickening. The awkward silence was killing! Eating me up from the inside, driving me nuts! I wa
Kade"Who sent you? Who fucking sent you?!" Silvius tightened his grip on Esmeralda's neck, choking her in the process. Those caring eyes were replaced with a pair of deadly ones as they turned into the darkest shades of black. "No... nobody, please," Esmeralda said breathlessly as she struggled to find her voice. Silvius clenched his teeth, "Liar! You better talk now or you'll be sorry," He chuckled darkly, cocking his head to the side, trying to detect the truth from her, "You are a spy aren't you?" "I swear by the Moon... Moon goddess, I am not a spy," Esmeralda cried, gasping hard for breath, "Please, believe me," She said in almost a whisper as tears fell past her eyes, staining Silvius' hand. "And why should I believe you?" He swallowed in disgust, pinning her to the wall. And in a flash of light, his ears became pronounced and his thick fur coated his arm as he struggled to be in charge of his wolf. I knew it was only a matter of time before his irate wolf ripped Esmeralda
If you are reading this right now, you don't know how much grateful I am. It takes a lot to start a book from the beginning, but out of the many hundreds that started this journey with me, you chose to finish this book without considering my long breaks, grammatical inaccuracy and all. I really want to appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad you invested both time and money into my book. Bless you all. I know the way I ended the book didn't please some of you, but it's the best I can do. I also didn't like the way I rushed my book, especially the part two. At least, Esmeralda and Selene got their happy ending. I planned on making the part two at least 30 chapters, but I have to study for my examination. It's next month and it's already here. I don't want to leave you hanging again. After my exam, I can write as much as I can because I'll be a graduate (BA) I'm studying English and literary studies 😉 This chapter was intended to appreciate those that spend time, gems, a
Chapter 114 (T.R.O.P) Esmeralda I had almost finished meditating on my powers when my stomach growled in hunger. The more I tried to focus on building my strength, to control my powers, the more the war in my stomach doubled. When I couldn't take it anymore, I got up from the floor where I knelt, picked up the piece of cloth that I knelt on and went inside the house. I almost missed the melodies the birds filled my ears with. I love nature and it helps me concentrate better. It fuels my strength when I draw powers from it. A smile crept on my lips when a delicious scent wafted my nose. I couldn't wait to devour the new recipe I just tried. I decided to try out a recipe that I found in an old jotter in the kitchen. I was sure it belonged to the man's wife that owned the house. After several hours of mixing, frying, stirring and boiling, it came out well. Even though I turned the kitchen upside down. I couldn't wait to try out more recipes in the book when I get
Chapter 113(T.R.O.P) Esmeralda A sigh of relief slipped off my lips, "Home sweet home," I muttered tiredly as I walked into the 'old house' as Selene often referred to it. Staying in the old house was my idea which she hated because it belonged to an old couple that died several years ago. The house was built in an old-fashioned way to Selene's distaste. But I cared less. Whether old-fashioned or not, the house was warm and comforting. It reminded me of my mother's house. The option of moving to my mother's house was a tempting one, but I discarded the idea. I didn't want to be reminded of those memories. As far as I was concerned, they were dead and buried. And I had already moved on. I strode to the dining table tiredly, poured some water from the jug into a glass cup and gulped every drop of it down my throat. My throat was almost on fire! The sun was merciless and I had exhausted the water in my bottle. Worst of all, I and Selene were the only ones here. I w
Chapter 112(T.R.O.P)EsmeraldaThe night was long and terrifying. I couldn't sleep all night as I was afraid of what he would do to me. The sounds of his constant mumbling, groaning and jerking kept my eyes glued on him. And his cursing too. Sometimes, he whispered words that sounded like pleas while sometimes, he shouted from his sleep like someone was after him or chasing him in a hot pursuit.It was strange because I had never imagined anything could make this monstrous Alpha behave vulnerable in his sleep. I couldn't fathom what was happening to him but I knew it was a dream. A bad dream. His worst nightmare. But what kind of dream frightens the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack? Suddenly, he woke up, gasping and panting hard. My blood almost froze when he shot me a deadly glare. But after a few seconds, he went back to sleep. It didn't take long before the jerking began again. The second time was the worst. He jumped on the bed like he saw a ghost in his dream and dashed out
Chapter 111(T.R.O.P) Aphelion Impatient, I banged the door repeatedly with my large fist, ignoring the person's sleepy voice as I banged it again. "Fucking answer me," I cursed with shaky breath, swallowing hard as I was partly consumed by fear. Yes, you heard right. The Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack was afraid. If it were by some lousy Alpha, I would have understood, but it was by some strange woman. A woman from my nightmare dressed in green robes with strange strawberry hair. My breath hitched when the cold breeze swept up on my skin and I quickly turned back to look into the darkness. I could feel her flaming emerald eyes giving me a haunting disapproving look. And that evil grin plastered on her face...and her words that left me in shock. My heartbeat quickened as my eyes roamed the darkness. It was like she was here... watching me... haunting me... And in times like this, there was only one person I needed… "Open this fucking door!" I tried to use my Alpha vo
Chapter 110 (T.R.O.P) Kade "Alpha," Lucas, my Gamma called, bringing me out of my deep thoughts. I snapped my head at him, accessing him shortly before signalling him to come in. My heart skipped a beat when he walked into the room. I tried to keep my emotions in check, but my heart won't stop pounding in anticipation. I didn't miss the surprised look on his face as he walked into my room with his mouth slightly ajar. My room was as messy as hell. It looked like the third world war happened here. Things were scattered everywhere, including broken objects. He carefully navigated his path, avoiding the broken wine glass on the floor before bowing briefly to me and stopping to watch me. Just go straight to the point! I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, watching him eagerly to speak. Don't look desperate, Kade. But fuck it, I was desperate. I've never been so desperate in my life. Since he wasn't going to speak, I'll go first. I hope it was a positive result. "A
Chapter 109 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda "Move it!" The guard yelled, rough handling me. His hard hands grabbed my slim arm as he dragged me into Aphelion's bedroom. Anger rose in Emerald's chest as she growled at him. Angry at his behaviour, she took over from me. "You better stop that act and behave yourself," He growled back, his face reddened in anger. "Let me go, punk," Emerald screamed, wiggling to set herself free from his firm grip. "It will be my pleasure to slap some sense into you. But the Alpha will not have it if I did," He hissed. Despite Aphelion hitting me, he instructed his subjects not to lay their hands on me. "I am Luna. Show some respect!" Emerald bit his dry hand, attempting to escape. But he was quick to catch her and lead her into the room. "Fucking bitch!" He cursed, tightening his grip on my arm till the area turned bright pink. I whimpered in pain as his fingers brushed over the bruised part. Emerald's mouth won't put me in trouble.
Chapter 108 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda My eyes flew wide open in surprise and my hand covered my small mouth that wouldn't stop opening. How did he know I was Alpha Kade's mate? I shifted uncomfortably as his aura caused me to tremble greatly. His aura screamed so much power, dominance, hatred, anger, pride and other scary things. Whoever this strange man was, he was up to no good. I could feel it in my bones. His smirks say it all. They were evil and dark. And his eyes…they screamed how cruel he was. They didn't hide how much they hated me. There was also something sinister about the way he looked at me...with so much disgust as if I had buried myself in a pile of dirt. He was ferocious, so mean, so evil, even Emerald trembled in my head, despite how unconscious she was. His evil aura affected her greatly. Despite being ferocious, he was not as ferocious as Alpha Kade. While Alpha Kade behaved ruthlessly, he still had some good buried deep down in his sto
Chapter 107 (END OF PART ONE) Esmeralda Another three days came and went, another three of pain and suffering. Another three days of enduring the torture that my mate had sex with another woman. How could he? How could he do that when he knew how much pain it would cause me? He was not ignorant of that, yet he chose to torture me in this manner. This was the worst treatment I had ever received. Even the harsh treatment from my former pack couldn't be compared to what I felt. Not even the dreaded horsewhip stood a chance. I was dying. The pain was killing me rapidly, eating me up from the inside and leaving me in a mess. I cried all day till I no longer had tears to shed. Was that how much he hated me? By fucking a whore for three days?! I spat in disgust as a bile of anger rose in my chest. I hate him. I hate everything about him. I regret the day I met him. And for what he has done to me, I will never forgive him. The thought of him in bed with another
