Elena’s povI stood by the balcony as my mind went on wondering what was going on in the pack. I have not yet been bonded to Oliver but it was crazy. Sure, the people see me as their Luna and even call me Luna but it was yet an official title. Chloe and Hailey were making sure about that!I was beyond frustrated—-from the war to the impending danger of the pack, to the traitor or mole hidden within the ranks. I had tried to snoop around but things didn't go exactly as planned. Luckily—-the only good thing to come out of this was that Lucas was healed, not fully, but he was making a very quick recovery.I felt a hand placed on my shoulders and I quickly knew who it was—-as only his touch could make my heart skip a million beats.“Hey….what are you doing here?” Oliver asked, I turned to him and hugged him tight. “I'm sorry….” I apologizedI could feel the confusion he felt through the bond, he pulled me back, staring into my eyes “What are you apologizing for?”I threw my face away,
Elena’s POVThe next morning, I woke to a soft warmth on my cheek. My eyes fluttered open, and I found Oliver sitting beside me, his hand gently caressing my face. His touch was tender, as if he feared I might vanish.“Morning, my Luna,” he said softly, his voice a soothing melody to my troubled mind.I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. The weight of yesterday’s emotions still lingered, but his presence calmed the storm within me. “Morning,” I replied, my voice laced with sleep.Oliver handed me a cup of tea, his usual routine when he stayed the night. It was one of the little things he did that made me feel like I belonged in his world, even though I still doubted it at times.“I have a meeting with the council today,” he informed me as I sipped the warm brew. “They’re pressing for answers about the traitor and the attacks. I need you to be cautious, Elena. If the mole gets desperate, they might act rashly.”I nodded, understanding the gravity of his words. “I’ll be careful. But Oliver
Elena’s POV I sat in the library trying to calm myself down with books. I have been trying to keep my mind at peace. The past few weeks had been calm. Even though the traitor was yet to be found—-at least the pack had peace. The door to the library was pushed open and Beauty walked in and she had a smirk on her face. “What got you smiling?” I asked dropping the book in my hand and picking up the glass of juice beside me. “Nothing….Luna.” She said and my face fell, she noticed my change in mood instantly, “Is something wrong?” I shook my head, “No… it’s nothing, just, that title should be given to the true Luna….not me.” “I agree…..” A voice came through, beauty, and I turned to see Hailey standing in the library. I did not notice her enter but my face had a scowl in it. “My lady.” Beauty greeted me as per custom but I knew that she didn’t want to. “What are you doing here, Hailey?” I asked her. “I would watch my tone when you talk to me. I still am the Beta’s daughter so y
Oliver’s PovThe pack had been calm and I had been trying my possible best to make it that way. I also contacted the Black Hallow pack and the Alpha said he knew nothing of it and would conduct his investigation.Though Daniel and Elena had doubts about my sister, there was nothing I could do but wait for some piece of evidence to show up on a platter of gold.“Your Highness!” I turned to see Lucas behind me, his head bowed.“At ease…..Is there a problem?” I asked.“No….I came to inform you that the council would be holding a meeting.” He said “A meeting? I wasn’t told about any meeting.” A scowl settled on my face.“It is a secret meeting and from the looks of things, they want to kick against the idea of getting married to….Elena….sorry the Luna.” Lucas informed me.“I see………Get me the place and time for the meeting, I guess we are in for a long surprise. It’s time to give out some punishments.”“Yes, Alpha.” He saluted and turned to carry out the order.“Daniel….” I called and h
Elena’s POVI woke up slowly, feeling the warmth of Oliver’s arms wrapped around me. His steady breathing tickled the back of my neck, and for a moment, I allowed myself to melt into his embrace. It was rare for us to have peaceful moments like this.But the moment was short-lived.Flashes of my nightmare hit me again—the darkness, the whispers, the feeling of being watched. A shiver ran down my spine. It had felt so real, too real.Oliver stirred behind me. His hand instinctively tightened around my waist.“Bambi?” His voice was husky from sleep.I hesitated. “It’s nothing. Just… a bad dream.”His arm flexed, pulling me closer until I was pressed against his bare chest. “Do you want to talk about it?”I bit my lip. Should I tell him? The way the dream had twisted reality—whispered threats in the shadows, my own reflection changing in the mirror, my wolf howling in pain. But… what if it was just my mind playing tricks on me?“No,” I said finally. “It’s nothing important.”He exhaled s
Elena’s povI stretched out and I could feel someone holding me tight as trying to keep me in place. I smiled knowing who it was. Yesterday had not been the most perfect but it did end in cuddling the love of my life. Oliver and I never had time to ourselves. He is always up and about, trying to keep things in the pack.I love his dedication but I won’t lie I want him all to myself at times. So instead of getting up to go get ready for today’s training, I snuggled into his embrace.“Hmmmmm…… that’s a good girl.” I heard him speak, his morning voice doing something to me.I giggled, “Sorry, I woke you up.”“You didn’t…” he said and placed a kiss on my hair.“Good morning….how was your night.” I asked, looking up to meet his eyes.“Hmmm….with you, Perfect!” He smirked at me, making me blush, “what’s your plan for today, my love.”“Nothing much…..Just training with Lucas and Beauty.” “Ah, I see……be careful okay.” He said to meI nodded softly, as I snuggled into his hard chest, “What a
Elena’s Pov“Hey guys, what are you talking about?” Chloe asked, popping up behind us, which scared us a bit. Lucas and I exchanged looks as Chloe smiled at us.“Nothing much, Chole…..It was so nice to see you today in training. What changed?” I asked She gave a quick smile, “Nothing….” she then turned to Lucas, “Can I see you privately?”Lucas looked at me, then back to her, “Hmmm, sure!” “Good…” she smiled and walked away.“Hmmm, Elena, Excuse me for a minute.”I nodded, “be careful…..”“I will…..”Lucas walked out of the training ground with Chloe, while I watched in fear. Chloe can not be trusted and I don't know how I would be able to keep calm while Lucas go ahead with Chloe.“Hey…..” someone tapped me, making me jolt.I turned to see beauty, surprised at my reaction, “Beauty, you scared me….”“Sorry….are you alright?” she asked.“Hopefully…..”She began to look around, “Where is Lucas, thought he was with you?““He was…..but now he is with Chole!““Chole!” She yelled “Shhhh
Oliver’s POVThe council meeting would start any moment now. I had given them time to speak up about any thoughts they must have felt about getting married to Elena. It is almost time for me to hear them out and give out punishment for staging a resistance to my ruling.The door to my office burst open and Chloe walked in, her demeanor not as friendly as usual.“What do you want….I am busy.” I tried to push her out. Since she had been the main suspect of the last attack with the rouges, I had kept her at arm's length.“I know you’ve been avoiding me!” She blurted out, making me pause. I look up at her, my face straight, “have I?” She rolled her eyes, “That's your cup of tea…Oliver. I am here because I heard you are planning on removing some elders from the council. After all, they were about to speak against you getting married to that.……” She didn't finish the sentence I growled as a warning to her.“Chloe, how I run my kingdom is none of your business. If anyone is having any
Beauty’s povSince Elena was safe now, I decided to take Sam and Nate's lunch to them myself. It has been a while since I’ve seen them. Ever since Daniel and I had been trying to organize the pack while the disease was still spreading.I got closer to the safe house and saw Sam and Nate walking back hand in hand."Where have you two been?" I asked, a hint of concern in my voice. Then, I saw the remnants of the buns on Nate's face and a smile touched my lips. "Ah, you got some buns. Good for you."But Sam didn't smile. "Beauty," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I saw Jax. He was at the market."My smile vanished. The pieces fell into place. Jax, who had been conveniently present when Elena was rescued. Jax, who had taken care of Chloe and seemed so attached to her. Jax, who had surprisingly gained Oliver’s trust somehow . It all made terrifying sense.Jax, the man who had kidnapped her sister and threatened her, forcing her to betray Elena in the past, was here. He was in their
Third person povThe safe house was a bubble of innocence amidst the chaos that had gripped and settled in the Full Moon pack. Inside, Sam and Nate lived a simple life, their days filled with games and the comforting rhythm of shared meals. Beauty usually brought their food, but lately, a pack helper had taken over. It made the children question where Beauty was and what was going on.Sam found herself responsible for young Nate, Lucas’s baby brother. Nate, a ball of energy with a contagious giggle, clung to her like a glue. Sam, in turn, felt fiercely protective of the boy.She didn’t let any of the guards talk to him or touch him because of his brother’s influence. Nate was also shy so he found solace in Sam’s protection.One of Sam's favorite pastimes was telling Nate stories. She'd weave tales of fantastical creatures and daring adventures, but lately, her stories had centered on a particular treat: the hot buns sold at the village market. She described their steamy warmth, the sw
Elena’s povLucas was right beside me. "You can't change the past, Elena," he said softly. "What happened to your parents was a tragedy, but it wasn't your fault. They loved you, and they would want you to live your life, to be happy.""But how can I be happy knowing that I was the reason they died?" I asked, my voice muffled against Oliver’s shoulder.“You honor them," Oliver said, his voice firm. He took my other hand, holding it tightly. "You use your powers to protect the people you care about. You fight for what's right. That's what they would want you to do."I looked at them, their faces filled with love and support, and a flicker of hope sparked within me. Maybe they were right. Maybe I couldn't change the past, but I could choose how to live in the present. I could honor my parents by using my powers to make the world a better place.The guilt would always be there, a shadow lurking in the corners of my mind, but I wouldn't let it consume me. I wouldn't let it paralyze me. I
Elena’s povI lay back down on the bed with a loud sigh, the mattress groaning in protest. Finally, I'd finally managed to convince Oliver and Lucas to go get themselves properly checked out by a healer. They were both stubborn as ever, more concerned with my well-being than their own bumps and bruises. Honestly, seeing them so frantic just made me feel worse. Guilt, that familiar monster, clawed at my insides.Looking around the room, a wave of relief washed over me. Lucas, Oliver, even Chloe, were all going to be okay. I felt so bad for putting them all in danger.My mind drifted back to the battle, to the moment before everything went sideways. Before Reed nearly erased them all from existence. Before… I closed my eyes, trying to block out the images, but they surged forward relentlessly.(FLASHBACK)Jax and I arrived at the edge of the clearing, the air thick with the smell of ozone and burnt earth. The sounds of the fight, the snarls of werewolves and the crackle of Reed's magic,
Elena’s povThe gasp ripped through me, a raw sound that tore me away from whatever darkness had been clinging to me. I bolted upright in the bed, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped animal. The remnants of a disturbing trance clung to the edges of my mind, the thought of which I didn’t want to remind myself of.Oliver was beside me in an instant, his arms wrapping around me in a tight embrace. "Elena! You're awake!" His voice was thick with relief. I burrowed into him, needing the solidity of his presence, the reassurance that I was back in reality, back to life.My gaze flickered around the room. Lucas stood by the bedside, his face etched with the same relief as Oliver's, though marred by a grimace of pain. Even from here, I could see the angry purple bruises blooming on his skin, remnants of a recent battle. I frowned. "Lucas? Oliver? Why are you still like this? Why haven't you been treated?"Oliver tightened his hold. "We were more focused on bringing you back, E
Third person povEdgar carefully tilted Elena's head back. His movements were precise, honed by years of experience. He gently pried her mouth open, the action delicate despite the urgency that permeated the room. A shimmering, transparent liquid flowed from the cup into her unresisting throat. The resurrection potion, a concoction of rare herbs and forgotten magic, was their last hope.He straightened, a weariness etched on his face. He turned to Oliver and Lucas, their faces pale with grief and worry. "I have done all I can," he said, his voice raspy. "The potion is powerful, but it is Elena who must fight now. She must choose to return." He offered a small, sad smile. "I will leave you with her."The healer shuffled out of the room, leaving Oliver and Lucas to their wait. The weight of the moment settled heavily upon them. The perspective shifted, the darkness giving way to a strange, ethereal light.Elena found herself standing in a vast, open space. To her left stood a group of e
Oliver’s povThe scent of blood and herbs hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of my unconscious mate beside me. My stomach churned. Elena lay still on our bed, her usually vibrant face pale and marred with cuts. Another healer, a young woman from our pack, dabbed at a gash on Elena’s arm. But it was no use. Elena was still unresponsive. Unconscious. My heart hammered against my ribs.I had been sitting vigil by her side for what felt like an eternity, whispering reassurances I tried to believe in myself. Every so often, I reached out to brush a strand of dark hair from her face, my fingers trembling.The door creaked open, and I shot up, my muscles tensing. Lucas stood there, his face etched with exhaustion but his eyes holding a flicker of hope.“Lucas! Did you find anything?” I demanded, my voice hoarse.He nodded, stepping inside. “I think… I think I found something. In the old woman’s cabin. It was still… vacant.”“What? What did you find?” The healer glanced up, her brow fu
Lucas’s povI gripped the worn leather of the book tighter as I hurried across the training grounds. The Full Moon pack house loomed in the distance, a welcome sight after my run through the dense woods. My heart pounded, a mixture of hope and anxiety churning in my gut. This book, this fragile collection of ancient knowledge I’d found in the old woman’s cabin, could be the key to everything.I passed the bustling pack house and headed straight for the medical center, a small building on the edge of the village. The air inside smelled of herbs and antiseptic, a stark contrast to the earthy scent of the forest. I found Edgar, our oldest and most respected healer, hunched over a mortar and pestle, grinding something that smells vaguely of lavender.“Edgar,” I said, my voice rough from disuse.He looked up, his wrinkled face crinkling into a smile. “Lucas. You need treatment. I should get my assistant.”“It’s not important. I need you to look at something.” I said instead.“And what’s th
Jax’s povThe air in Chloe’s room hung thick with the scent of herbs and worry. I sat on the edge of her bed, my wolf restless beneath my skin. The healer, an older woman with knowing eyes, was just finishing wrapping the last of the bandages around Chloe’s arm. Crimson had seeped through the linen earlier, a testament to how hurt Chloe had been and he couldn’t even protect her“She’ll be alright, you know,” the healer said, her voice low and soothing. “She’s a strong girl. Always has been. She'll wake up soon.” She gathered her things, giving me a knowing look. “Best not to overwhelm her when she does.”Then she was gone, and it was just me and Chloe.I leaned closer, my hand hovering over her scarred skin. Even asleep, the tension lines were etched into her face. My heart clenched. These scars were my fault, in a way. Not directly inflicted by me, but I could’ve insisted on fighting alongside her. I could’ve insisted on staying with her.My loyalty lay with her. Not even my pack but
