“What?!” That was a chorus from everyone in the room excluding the twins.I gaped at Baron and Aaron, hoping that one of them could actually tell me they were joking. What was the meaning of this? What were they talking about?“What are you both talking about?” I asked them, a big, confused frown on my face.Aaron sighed and looked away. Baron sat in the chair in my room, he refused to meet my stare. I had a very crazy day and just when I thought I could not face something more alarming, they came in with this. “Baron, say something. What is the meaning of this? Is this true?” I looked at him.“What if I say he’s trying to use this to get to you? To make you forget how he abandoned and treated you awfully just so he could get what he suddenly wanted.” Baron said, his smirk was back.“What he wanted?”“You, Katherina. Somehow, he now realizes he wants you and is now ready to be what he should have been all along.” Baron continued, sneering at his brother.What Baron said was making qu
I could not stop crying, even when it seemed like a long time after the boys had left. The more I tried to stop, the more tears fell. I could not understand what was happening to me, the boys had tried to trick me into believing they had regretted how they treated me, but they had only come under the pretense of Aaron claiming to be my mate. And what was making me more emotional was the fact that my heart skipped at the thought that Aaron was my mate. I had for a minute period felt my heart jived in joy, even though I could not understand why it would do that. It was not as though he liked me, not in any way. If he liked me, he would not have done what he did. He would not let me go through so much.Baron who did not even know me was the unexpected savior. The one who had taken it upon himself to save me from these mean people who wanted nothing more than to eat me alive. “You will be fine Katherina, you know you have to stop crying at a point.” Baron spoke after being quiet for a w
“You keep kidding yourself, Baron.” I hit his arm playfully. He was still in my room, keeping me company and making sure I was not crying again. “I’m hungry. You?” He asked, trying to stifle a yawn.“I’m not hungry.” How could I think of food when I was going through so much? My appetite in that moment was non-existent, food was the least of my problems.“You should be hungry.” He eyed me.“But I’m not.” I insisted.“I’m not going to take your word for it.” He got out of the bed and went out of the room. I was left in my thoughts. Hm. What next for me now? The Alpha now knew and I wondered what he was going to do about it.He might have even told my mom about it. My worries increased, what if he was angry? The initiation ceremony had almost brought my mother’s wolf out of her, but mine had only tried to find a way out to no avail. I just felt like no matter how hard I tried, I always ended up causing problems for my mother. I had this feeling in my guts that the Alpha would surely ca
“You also can not deny how confident I am.” He added, still on about his Moon Goddess given endowments which were true but I would rather have my tongue pulled out of my mouth than let him know. Baron was the typical arrogant guy you could not help but still admire, not just because he was good-looking and had a charming, bad boy smile. But for the single fact that he was loyal to the end.Standing up for me when he did not even know me, defending me against bullies and even calling his brothers out on how unfair they treated me. I felt safe with him, maybe I should show him the message. I sighed, maybe I should not. That might be a bad idea. I should probably find out who this person was, do what they asked me to do. Maybe Alpha David was not aware of my wolflessness, hence the reason this person was threatening me with it. And though mom knew, Alpha David would take it out on mom. I did not want mom to go through what she went through when she was pregnant with me, and even as I g
Katelyn“So our beloved Katherina does not have a wolf, huh?” I could not believe it. She was the first wolf-less girl I’d ever encountered.And Aaron was choosing her over me, that brat. That stupid, weak ugly thing that had no right to stand with me. She was trying to compete with me. To fight over Aaron with me. All these years, I’d known Aaron and I had taken great risks for him that he did not even know about. Those were my little secrets. And he would never know. I was proving to him and myself that I could be a Luna. A Luna could be everything she wanted to be. After the Alpha, was the Luna. Aaron was my childhood friend, while his brothers had never really liked me, Aaron had stood by me and that had made me like him. Baron was the worst, he hated me so much then. I used to wish he would like me but no more, I no longer cared if he liked me or not. Moreover, he was out of the picture. Though I wondered why he would return after these years in self exile. I had no issues when
My eyes widened in shock, but I could not push him away. The door opened, and my mom walked in. “Oh Mother of the Moon! I’m sorry guys.” She hastened out of the room, I heard her slippers making slapping sounds, as they echoed down the hallway in retreat.Baron raised in head and looked at the door. “See, you scared stepmom out of your room.”Feeling quite disoriented and my cheeks staining scarlet red at what had just happened, I could only stare in mild horror. Baron had kissed me and my mom had seen it, seen us. She had seen us locking lips, and was probably on her way to telling David. If the other boys knew, it was going to be more messy than it had ever been. I thought of Aaron and my conscience slapped at me. But why? I frowned immediately. Why was my conscience slapping at me? Aaron had not been there for me. He believed I was a criminal and defended Katelyn when Baron asked her to apologize for calling me a thief. “Will you eat your food now? Or do I have to feed you more ki
“Are you passing the night here?” I knew how it sounded asking him that question especially when it was the umpteenth time I was asking him that. I felt guilty asking him, it was as though I was chasing him out of my room. But that was not my intention, I wanted to go find out that person who was sending me messages.“Are you chasing me out of your room?” He opened one eye, meeting my gaze.“No, that is not it.” I sighed.“Come let’s sleep. It’s late and you have school tomorrow.” He invited, opening his arm for me to come into his embrace. I sighed, and without any hesitation, went into his embrace. My mind was filled with those texts and the faceless sender. Who was behind those messages? And they had given me a scheduled time, and I did not want to keep them waiting. They might do what they had threatened to do. “Do I have to go to school?” I released another deep, melancholic sigh. “Yes, you have to. No matter what they throw at you Katherina, never let them see how much it aff
Greg? What was he doing here? Fear seizing every part of my being, I managed to turn to make sure I had gotten the right person. Yes, I had. It was Greg. And he was with Bryan, his best friend. What were they doing here? I could only stare in shock.“Missed me?” Greg came forward, he came forward and raised his hand to trail my face, I flinched both in disgust and fear.“W-what a-are…” Fear would not let me complete my statement.“What am I doing here, you mean?”I stood still as I statue, unable to talk coherently. How had they gotten my number? Who told them where I was? Greg got hold of me and a whimper left my lips. Who had brought them here? How had they known where to find me? Greg had tried to molest me when I was still in Moon Rock pack. They were from there, we used to attend the same school until I was stopped. What were they doing here? I could not get past that question. “I’ve missed you, Katherina.”I moved back. “S-stay a-away from me, Greg.” I stuttered, my voice tremb
“To family.” Nine glasses clinked in a cheerful mood as we gathered in the family living room.It was a week later, mom had forgiven me and now, my happy ending was perfect. Also, I had just found out I was pregnant. Aaron and I were yet to break the news to mom and dad, but we were elated about it. But we had decided to tell it today. Mom as usual was preparing lunch before Baron left, he was leaving today and though, I would want him to stay, he said he had decided to go start life elsewhere and if the Moon Goddess was kind, he would have a second mate.I also prayed the same for him. Baron seemed kind of lonely, and he had told me in confidentiality that he had actually came home out of the loneliness that he had channeled into anger and returned to gain his own pound of flesh.He had planned to take away Aaron’s mate and make him miserable too. I felt pity when he had told me, and I hoped that the Moon Goddess actually granted his wish. I had finally told him he was my first kiss
I could not believe all that my mom had told me, it made guilt eat at me more. It’s been three weeks now, everything was almost perfect. If my mom could forgive me, then everything would be perfect. Aaron and I were leading the most beautiful life. He was the perfect mate, he loved me countlessly and never ceased to tell me how much I meant to him. School had gone back to what I knew it to be — serious and focused. Lectures had begun as it was supposed to be without these constant dramas of Katelyn and her minions.Katelyn had been thoroughly dealt with by the boys. Dragged along major streets, almost at the point of death, pack members had booed her. They had even threw hard things at her. It was a surprise how she still did not die after everything that was done to her. She was brought out for three consecutive days and each day, the same fate of being whipped and dragged along major places in the pack awaited her.She begged and pleaded for mercy until she was too tired and weak t
LUNA ELIZABETHFrom the moment I’d stepped into the mansion, I’d known something was up. My gaze roamed the foyer but not a single soul in sight. Where had everyone gone to? I proceeded down the hall and into the general living room, there was no one.I stepped out and took a detour to the family living room, I frowned. Why was it dark? I found the light switch and flipped it on.“I was scared.” There stood my daughter, tears falling from her eyes. I took note of the colorful streamers and the cardboards where ‘I’m sorry, mom. Please, forgive me.’ Was written.Standing beside her was Aaron, her mate and his twin Baron. Flanking her other side was Trenton, Zach, Lucas, her maid Melissa and my mate, David. There were other guards and maids around the room but they were not clustered.I saw the long table of different delicacies, I could spot my favorites. Boxes wrapped in different colors and tied with gold ribbons stared back at me. My gaze went back to Katherina, the tears were endle
“What’s wrong?” He frowned at me.“Uhmm…I have never..” I was quite embarrassed. Most of my mates have had sex and here I was, still embarrassingly a virgin.“You’re a virgin?” Disbelief clouded his handsome features, though I could still see the heavy desires in his grey eyes.“Yes, can you do it?” I looked at him, hoping he would not get impatient and angry. My body already needed him, I could not let my body go unsatisfied.“Are you sure you want to do this now? I can wait. We both can wait.” There was a tenderness in his eyes and affection that dripped from his words that told me he was willing to wait till whenever I was ready.He was my mate which meant we were supposed to be together forever, and in as much as that was to happen, I realized we were both yet to accept the mate bond.“I’m your fated mate, correct?” I asked him.“Mmhm.” He nodded.“But do you accept me as your fated mate?” I looked into his face, expecting his reply.He stared into my eyes, and leaned closer to pla
I ran up my room to cry my heart out, mom would never forgive me from the look of things. When Aaron announced our mate bond, I had been surprised that he would say such.And mom had not even looked at me when he’d announced it, the best she had done was merely pass me a blank glance and tell him ‘that’s good’. My own mother would not even look at my face. I could not believe what was happening. It was all so strange to me, if my mother was behaving like this towards me then what hope do I have to ever repair our relationship.Tears streamed down my face until I was hiccupping, choking on my own tears. I could not stand it anymore, maybe it was better I went to see someone. Anyone. Aaron came to my mind. Sluggishly, I stood and went into the bathroom. I had no idea how long I had stayed in the tub but by the time I was out, the water was tepid. I drained the tub while my mind drifted to Melissa lying still unconscious on that bed, I would have to go see her with either of the boys.
KATELYN“I’ll kill her.” I cried.I would kill that Katherina of a bitch, she wanted to take what was mine and I would not allow it. I would rather have her killed than lose Aaron.I did not care what would happen to me. I loved Aaron and if I would not have him, no one else would. Why would I go through all these troubles just for me to be the sore loser in the end? That was very humiliating just thinking of it.After that bitch had transformed into a wolf I never knew she had, she had used the advantage of the enormity of her wolf to beat me up. As though humiliating me before the whole school was not enough for her.So what if I had called those boys to come to this pack? So what if I had invited them and asked them to rape her? So what if I had sent those texts? So what if I had sent boys to beat up that nosy maid from the mansion? I had done all of these and more just so Aaron would be mine alone. Why was mine not working? Others had done it and it had worked, why not mine? I kn

BARON“How dare you interfere in my business, Baron?” I could see the rage in her eyes.This girl was bloody stubborn and unrelenting, even when caught in her crimes, instead of her to apologize and be remorseful, she came here with a weapon to kill me. Kill me, in this condition, that was ludicrously laughable! But I did not smile as I stared at her. “I wonder what Aaron sees in you. You’re despicable and plain vile.” “Don’t you dare talk to me!” She warned, her voice trembling.“Or what? You’ll stab me to death?” I quirked an amused brow.“Yes, I will stab you, but not yet. Not until you hear the shocking truth.”“What shocking truth?” What was she driving at? Was this her way trying to get into my head? Whatever truth she might want to tell me, I already knew about it. In fact, everyone was now aware of it and who she was.When I had entered the school, I had done so without my vehicle, so as to not draw attention to myself. I had walked into the school and gone straight to see M
BARONI had come for revenge and I had gotten it, or maybe I thought I had. I already knew and had seen the connection between Aaron and Katherina, and that had been my revenge.But somewhere along the line, I had forgotten about the revenge and developed some feelings for Katherina. But I had no problem letting her go, she was not mine to keep, moreover, I was tired of everything.Whatever I had in mind to do, it would not be done. I had changed my mind, and just wanted to leave this pack. Go back where I had come from and continue my life there. I felt pain shoot through me when I remembered what had happened in the past.Whether it had happened intentionally or not, it did not change what had happened few years ago. Maybe he had done it out of jealousy or not, it was time to let it go.But first, before I left, I needed to check on Melissa and move her from the school’s hospital to the one in the pack. I had never seen Katherina as I had seen her today, she had proven she could be
