ALEXIS' POVAs Paisley as I walk into the lands of the Alpha quarters, my lips part and I stare breathtaking at the sight before me. It looks like another world on its own. Its gigantic magnificence towered high and shot into the skies, illuminated by different types of lights that lit up the building in the night. The building is surrounded by greenery, tall beautiful ornamental trees and flowers planted all over. It looks like paradise on earth and for the first time, I envy the kind of life Donovan gets to have all to himself in the beautiful place. Also, I envy the girl he gets to spend his forever with in this heavenly bliss.Paisley and I continue our walk into the building and as we enter the grandeur interiors, I blink, even more in awe of the magnificence and beauty of the insides. The large chandeliers that decorated the ceilings. The beautiful paintings and artworks that adorned the walls. The large hall, parked with every kind of beautiful girl Redwood, all dressed in thei
DONOVAN'S POV"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" I ask the girl who stands backing me, her eyes on my trophies and medals. As I wait for her to turn and face me, a part of me boils impatiently. Seeing another girl isn't something I want right now. Not after the one girl I would have given the whole world to see, decided to start avoiding me like plague for reasons best known to her. A few seconds pass and just when I am about to open my mouth and threaten that I would call the guards if she doesn't speak up, the girl turns slowly to face me. As she stands facing me this time, the coldness in my heart dissolves instantly and a new wash of softness takes over me. Again, I feel my walls breaking down at the mere sight of her. She is dressed in a simple, yet beautiful flowery dress and her hair is done in the prettiest style. She looks effortlessly gorgeous and could easily pass as the most beautiful girl I have seen tonight, even without trying at all. "Alex." My mouth whi
ALEXIS' POV"Make me your Luna, Donovan." I whisper back to him, my heart pounding loud and hard against my chest, threatening to tear off them.Gently, he peels his eyes open and his sea green eyes stare mesmerizing into mine. I stare back too, refusing the urge to look away this time. I know what I have done. I know what I am doing. Somehow, I feel like it is the most dangerous thing to do but for the first time, I let myself do what I want without a plan. Let the river take me wherever it wants. I shall go with the flow.He slowly cups my face into large hands, his eyes peering into mine, breaking down all the walls I have built around myself in crumbs and pieces. "I shall make you my Luna, Alex. I shall keep you protected around my wings. Your wish is my command." And then, he brings his lips closer and gently tastes my own lips. I let my lips part open and wait impatiently for him to take me. To take all of me. Slowly, his hands wrap themselves around my lower back and his finger
ALEXIS' POVAs I get dressed, Donovan helps me with the zipper of my dress and once we are fully clad again, he plants a gentle kiss on the spot he had marked me. The pain does not hurt like it did a while ago. Still, it feels fresh and I can still feel the sparkles of stings that surround the area. It still feels like a dream that I am officially mated to Donovan. That he has marked me and that I will be his future Luna. It feels like a dream that is too good to be true. "I feel nervous." I confess to him and he takes my hand into his, rubbing his thumb softly over the back of my hand. I watch his eyes that try to reassure me. "You don't have to be nervous, Alex. Or scared. Other people should be scared of you now. Not the other way round."I exhale softly as he says those words and he leans closer to plant another kiss on my forehead."Let's go back to the party."I nod and get my weight off the bed. His fingers are still entwined in mine and he does not look like he would be letti
ALEXIS' POVWhen I get home, I meet grandma Rivera ill and wrapped under her bedsheets. Fear overtakes me at the sight and I immediately rush to her. "Grandma!" I call out in panic and I place my palm over her forehead to feel her temperature. She is burning hot. "Hello, gorgeous." Grandma Rivera smiles weakly at me and takes my hand gently into hers. She looks calm and settled, unlike me and I wonder how she is able to handle all these so perfectly while just a mild headache of hers is enough to make me go insane. "Don't worry about her too much." A voice comes from behind me and I turn my head to see Paisley walking into grandma Rivera's bedroom. She has a small tray in her hand and a dish on it. When she sits beside me by grandma Rivera's bedside, I see that it is a mixture of herbs she has brought. Seeing that I am staring at her with curiosity, Paisley adds."I thought you would've been home already. So, I stopped by to check up on you and found her sick. She is getting better,
ALEXIS' POVAs the chauffeur escorts me into the castle, the nervousness in me only grows. I had not imagined I would visit the castle again, just as soon as I visited the first time. And most ridiculously, that I would be invited exclusively to have dinner with the Luna. I wonder if Donovan has any idea of this. As soon as the chauffeur walks me into the entrance of the magnificent building, a small group of young maids hurry over to us and I grip the edge of my dress nervously as they give small curt bows of their head. A respect to…me. If anyone had told me I would ever get to experience a day like this, I would have laughed at their face, pointed at them and called them foolish liars. But this is no lie. Neither is it a fantasy. Or a dream. It is the reality. "Welcome, mi lady." The eldest of the maids greet me. She looks like she would be the head maid here. "Please, allow us to escort you to the dining room. The Luna is waiting patiently for you.""I…" Just as I open my mouth
ALEXIS' POV"Hello, Alexis." Donovan's mother gets up from her seat on the dining table as soon as Donovan and I step into the large dining room. The nervousness in me returns as the woman walks towards us, a wide good-natured smile on her suddenly. That instant, I get conscious of Donovan's hand interlocked in mine and I am even more embarrassed than ever."Good day, Luna." I bow in respect and the woman takes my hand and gently straightens me again. Her hold is soft and gentle against me. I can feel the fear in me lessening as her softness greets me. "Thank you for honoring my invitation." She is smiling and looking at me like I am some kind of personality that she didn't expect to come across and yet, intrigues her. "It is my greatest pleasure, my Luna. Thank you for having me." I reply to her with a forced smile that I hope would appear a bit more genuine than it truly is. "Come. Come." She leads me to the dining and Donovan tags along. He pulls out a seat for me and I smile bri
ALEXIS' POVA man with long snowy white hair is running and being pursued by the army. As they gain closer, he transforms into a white wolf and runs in full speed while the other men shift into their wolf forms too and follow him. When they finally surround him, he tries to attack the army wolves but he is outnumbered. As his eyes search for an escape route, an arrow suddenly comes from nowhere and pierces him in the head. It is a blue flame arrow. The white wolf falls down to the ground, weak and lifeless. And then, a few seconds later, after the poison from the arrow entirely penetrates his whole body, the white wolf bursts in specks of blue dust and vanishes into thin air. Someone jumps from one of the trees in the forest. He is covered in a black cloak and has on a face mask that hides his entire face. "Find the rest." He commands the army and they obey immediately, running into the forest to carry out his order. After the army leaves, he slowly brings down the face mask to unvei
