MELISSAEver since Katherina came into the house of Alpha David after our beloved Alpha had been yet again blessed by the Moon Goddess with a second mate — Katherina’s mother. When the news had reached our ears, I’d been one of the happy ones , and we were many that were happy for him.We had all anticipated the arrival of our new Luna and her daughter with bated breaths. No one knew what to expect from either of them, especially the Luna who would be the closest to the Alpha. The mother of the boys, the past Luna had been kind and wonderful. So we did not know what to expect from this new one.But one glimpse of her that night and I knew she was going to be as wonderful as the first had been, and kind too. When I’d seen the daughter, I had seen kindness too, but she literally had low self-esteem stationed around her neck, and I disliked it. I had been taught to never let anyone walk on me. Show respect, even a little fear to those who deserve it but still keep your spine. Katherina h
I walked through the doors of the school and I could literally feel the excited zing in the air. I could swear I even heard the happy howls of their wolves in their heads. Everyone was happy, they were ready for the Wolf It event. Everyone was eagerly anticipating. Everyone except me. I was walking now, Baron didn’t need to carry me. He’d been able to make his dad and my mom believe I was getting better, though he’d lifted me a little from the house and into the car.After that incident yesterday, I’d decided to avoid the boys more. I had decided not let them get to me anymore, though I knew it was not going to be an easy feat but I was willing to try.“You’ll be fine.” Baron whispered in my ear.I was far from fine. I felt like disappearing and reappearing after the Wolf It event was done and gone. My hands quivered in fear, I was literally shaking. The whole school was going to know, and they would have more reasons to laugh at me. They were going to have more reasons to mock and t
I had no idea what to expect, but I somehow knew things were not going to end well for me. I didn’t have a wolf. At least not one I wanted to let anyone see. I could not take that risk. It was sudden for me. It was something I had no intention of letting loose. “Are you okay?” Baron looked at me with concern written all over his face.I sighed and looked, calming myself. I didn’t want him to see how much this was affecting me. “You seem to be very frightened.” He said, holding my hand that was trembling slightly.That was one annoying thing about my body whenever I was full of nerves. My body seemed to work itself to an overdrive, I would not be able to control how it reacted to things like this.“I’m fine.” I replied, my voice intentionally low so he would not hear the shakiness in my tone. I looked up at him, trying to present a calm, composed exterior contradicting the messiness of within. If this failed, what would become of me? I would not only be accused and bullied of being
BARON“Good day, Beta.” I went to my father’s second in command.“Good day, Aaron or is it Baron?” I did not reply, I waited for him to figure it out by himself. He peered around me and stared intently, then he smiled a little. “Baron it is. Good day, Baron.”I turned to know how he’d found out and saw Aaron with Katelyn. Obviously. Everyone knew I hated that girl, the only person that would accept her was my twin brother, Aaron.Aaron and I were so identical that it sometimes gave father a tough time trying to figure out who did what crime, especially when we were little. I would cause a mischief and Aaron would be blamed for it, and vice versa. When my mother was alive, it had been fun watching my parents get frustrated over I and Aaron’s shenanigans.“Beta, I want to talk to you about something or rather, someone. ”My gaze went to Kathy, she was looking so alone and lost.I had no idea why she was this scared to show her wolf. It was as though she had something to hide, it was eit
The Wolf It event was going really fast. Some wolves were eager to release themselves, and it was not encouraging at all. For me especially. But I was would also be lying if I said I was not impressed. Some had very beautiful wolves, some looked strong and intimidating. And I also noticed everyone had brought extra clothes. After the showcasing of their wolves, there are lecturers waiting to cover up their nakedness instantly. Two female lecturers for the girls. Two male lecturers for the guys. It was professionally done and without preamble or hesitation.It was the Salvatore boys' turn. And as expected of Alpha wolves, they wasted no time releasing their wolves. They all had beautiful wolves. Aaron’s and Trenton’s were black, Zach had a dark grey wolf and Luke’s was silver grey. They had four male lecturers step in immediately to cover them up. They didn’t need to bring extra clothes, they were the Alpha’s sons. They were wrapped and taken out of the field. The event continued. I
LUNA ELIZABETH“How can you say that?!” I lashed out, my anger growing by the minute.I’d been in my room, dressing up for an evening outing with my mate. It was both for business and pleasure purposes. I was happy, extremely so. I had never believed I would be this happy but finding my mate had shown me how blissful and wonderful life could be.Everything was going fine. The boys all loved and respected me. My mate was treating me more than I could ever wished to be treated by a man. He was just the perfect gift the Moon Goddess had given to me. But in this moment, in my room, I felt like slapping the hell out of him for what he’d just insinuated.“Why won’t I say that, tell me?” He growled angrily. His Alpha wolf’s eyes flashed, I stumbled back a bit because it scared me.At my fear, he relaxed and tried to come near me but I flinched out of his hold. Angry tears were blurring my vision. “So you believe I came into your life to deceive you?”“What else can I say after what you’ve do
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Baron asked me for the tenth time that day.After my confession, the rest of the event had gone by in a blur. Baron and Aaron had walked up to me and while I was scared of what Aaron had to say, I could not melt into Baron’s arms because his look too had scared me away.For a second on that field, with everyone watching, I thought the boys would lash out and go all angry at me. But to my surprise, Aaron had been gentle, trying to ask why. Baron realized this and pulled me closer to his side, narrowing his gaze suspiciously at Aaron. They both had a very heated argument that even the Beta could not interfere in. Most were scared of the Salvatore boys and the power they held as the Alpha’s sons. Even though I suspected Beta Mark might have been able to do something, he was still uncertain on how it would end for him and so he’d remained as a spectator, watching like the rest of us.Even when busybody Katelyn had pried in, trying to pull Aaron away, both of the
“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
“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
