Moon opened her eyes to see Victor on his knees with his hand on his open stomach. A gory sight to behold. She looked at her hands soaked with blood and her eyes widened. She wanted to feel fear but she only felt disgust. “I can’t believe I have your disgusting blood on my hands.” That was what she said. Moon almost bit her tongue to stop herself from talking but still talked anyway. She felt afraid yet courageous, she felt alone yet with company. Alpha Victor looked at her but he wasn’t surprised.“I knew this day would come.” He has his hands trying to stop the blood gushing from his belly. “You did? I doubt.” Moon walked closer to him and Liam almost shouted her name to stop her. “I didn’t kill you on purpose.” She sneered at him. “The next time you’d teleport in here again to cause havoc will be your last.”Victor looked at her before smiling, his teeth were bloodied. “I don’t need to. I have seen your future. You’d be worse than me.” “I will never be you.” She spat. “How
Moon's POVI look at myself in the mirror for the umpteenth time unsure of whether to pack my hair into a bun or just let it fall across my shoulders. Actually, I should not be thinking about what I want but what Aiden would like. Does Aiden prefer me with a bun or with my hair loose?I groan in frustration and run a hand through my hair. How am I supposed to know what Aiden likes? After a few minutes of contemplating what my dear Aiden would like, I finally settled on letting my hair down, hopefully, Aiden will find me charming.I spin in front of the mirror and blow myself a kiss. I nod my head in satisfaction at how stunning I look. I am ready to confess my love to Aiden. Today, I have agreed to let Aiden know that the Moon Goddess has destined us to be mates and live together happily.I smile and skip out of my room. I walk down the stairs towards the pack dining hall where Aiden and probably everyone else are. It is time for lunch so everyone is most likely in the dining hall sa
Moon's POVImmediately I utter those words, it is as if everyone in the dining hall heard it because they all turn to gaze at me like I have two heads, Aiden gazes at me in that manner too and I start to wonder if I might actually have two heads. Surprisingly one of Aiden's friends sitting among us bursts into laughter. He clutches his chest tight and laughs causing everyone to gather around our table. Why is he attracting so much attention and most importantly why is Aiden not saying a single thing?I turn to gaze at him with a raised brow and it only makes him chuckle nervously and wave it off."Wow, you really got me there Moon." Aiden says shaking his head at me. Wait, he does not think I am serious? I shake my head in disagreement. I need to make it clear to him. It is either now or never."I am serious here Aiden. I meant what I just said." I say rising to my feet and feigning confidence meanwhile inside of me, fear is eating me up very slowly."What do you mean you are serious
Moon's POVMine? Did I just hear him call me mine? I gaze at him with my brows scrunched at him in confusion and although I do feel a deep sense of connection and familiarity as I stand close to him. I am about to say something but the group of men I walked past earlier appear right in front of me. I hastily dash behind the young man for safety."Hey, it is Alpha Liam." I hear one among the group of men whisper to his gang.Alpha Liam? Is it the same Alpha Liam I know? Alpha Liam of the Blood Moon pack? I sneak a glance at the young man and he has a poker face on."Stay away from her now!" The young man says in a commanding tone. Surprisingly for me, the group of men bow their heads in respect and hastily scurry off. Wow, did they become scared just by the sound of his voice?"Are you alright?" He turns to glare at me with a concerned look on my face. I nod my head remaining fazed at what just happened. "I am Alpha Liam and I am deeply sorry about bumping into you earlier." He says w
Moon's POVWe come to a stop in front of my pack house. I turn to gaze at Liam but surprisingly he already has his eyes on me. I smile shyly and fiddle with my palms, just the way he glares at me is enough to melt my heart and make me smile.Liam clears his throat and points towards the gate."You have to go in right?" He asks raising a brow at me. With all sincerity, I do not want to. I enjoyed every bit of my time with Liam and I want more. No one has ever made me feel this way before, not even Aiden. I mean I feel loved, I feel like he enjoys my company.I nod my head in agreement. "Thank you for walking me back to my pack house and for saving my life." I say. I attempt to walk towards the gate but Liam grabs me by the wrist so quickly. I turn to raise a brow at him in confusion."Moon. I was going to ask if we could see each other again. I mean just stay friends at least until you agree to accept me as your mate." He says.I release a heavy sigh, as much as I want to agree to have
Liam’s P.O.VI have been waiting for Moon at our usual spot, but she is nowhere to be found. Glancing at my wristwatch, the time reads 8:17 p.m., and she has never been this late since our usual meet-ups four days ago. I am a real definition of ‘restless’, I can’t stop the many questions popping up in my head.Did I do something she didn’t like during our last meet-up? At this question, I tried to remember any action of mine that would have made her feel uncomfortable, but I found none; she promised to see me today. She gave me her word.Or did she get caught? But no one would stop a grown lady from stepping out for a bit; it isn’t 9 yet, and if she got caught, I would have been notified.Did she suddenly decide not to come see me? Now, I regret not asking her for a phone number; it would have been easier to phone her up and know what exactly is keeping her from being with me.“Is anything the problem Alpha?” Kai, my Beta asked, cutting into my long train of thoughts.I looked at him
“Mum?” A little boy of 9 called his sickly-looking mother, but her eyes remained closed.He looked taller than a boy of 9, fierce, and no doubt he was extremely strong too. Looking down at the brown envelope in his hand, his sad eyes clouded with tears.“Mum, you need to eat. I brought you something.” His voice wasn’t stable this time.He made a sound by rubbing the envelope together to get his attention but she still kept mute, deep into her sleep like she would not need to ever wake up.He sniffled and closed his eyes for a little while as if to stop the tears from dropping but they didn’t stop. His face became wet and he made muffled sounds to stop crying out loud like a baby.“Son...” A whisper-like sound too small to sound called, but the ever-alerted Liam heard it.Snapping his closed eyes open to reveal yellow orbs, he stared at his skeleton-liked mother with anxiety and excitement.“Yes – yes, mother. I brought…” His words were stumbling over each other as he hurriedly bent.“
Aiden’s POVI watched her sneak out of the Pack’s house again, and my heart skipped a beat involuntarily. I am supposed to ignore her but I can’t. Moon.I saw her stop, and my eyes widened on their own; that wasn’t supposed to be heard. It was meant to be for my ears alone. How did my vocal tract produce such loud noise? I saw her trembling hands stop halfway, and I had no other option but to walk towards her, all the time wondering what kind of conversation we would have.I hadn’t even gotten close to her but she already snapped at me. A part of me knows she was hurt by my action a few days ago, but a larger part of me is vexed that she has my replacement already.I swear I can see her wishing I die right in front of her with the intensity of her gaze. After her question, I let out an unintentional sigh. ‘What do I want?’ Even I don’t have the answer to that.I guess I can start this unplanned meeting by enquiring about her state of health. I am genuinely concerned, but her playin

Moon POV. My face burned when I heard his words. Alpha Victor, the devil behind my misfortunes. I feel my teeth gritted on their own; I struggle to control my anger, the pains from my past, and the trauma I have been through. What was he doing here? Did he come to get his daughter? Did he come for Liam? “Alpha Victor?” I asked the man who looked up at me from his bent posture and he nodded, coughing in-between. I bit my lips till I tasted blood, the pain and misfortunes riling up my anger even more. I felt powerful; the angrier I felt, my eyes felt hot, my nose itched, my breath harbored, and my entire body trembled. My fingers would have dug into my palms and drawn out blood if I hadn’t bitten them off due to nervousness. “What does he think he is doing here?” I felt my lips tremble. If I looked scary, I don’t know, but I saw everyone shift away from me except Liam, who struggled to stand to his feet and covered my palm with his. “Moon, you have got me.” His voice penetrated
Placing a hand on Moon’s hand, a soft glow enveloped both Moon and Harper, healing them all at once. It was risky but Liam found it more risky if anything happened to Moon. He felt weakened; his shoulders sagged as he groaned but still held on till Moon pulled out and held on to him, but his weight was much on her. Her hands gave way and he fell to the floor. “Liam?”“Alpha?” “Liam!?” The rest called in panic and concern but Alpha Rex only got startled before looking on.“Liam?” She called, wanting to touch his face but Liam held her hand mid-way and shook his head at her. “Don’t.” He shook his head, smiling weakly at her. ***Appearing right in front of the pack house, which had a group of gossiping females, Alpha Victor startled them, and they began to scream at the sudden appearance of a handsome, elderly-looking stranger in their midst. Looking straight into one of their eyes, he manipulated their mind. “Take me to Liam.” Just like a fool, she walked ahead without a stop
“Kia?” Olivia entered the sick bay to see a back full of blood. “Kia!” She called with more urgency as she rushed towards him. He turned to look at her before melting into her trembling arms. “Aunty?” He whimpered. When Olivia’s eyes met Harper’s body on the bed with her uneven breathing she tried to understand what happened. “What is it?” She looked into his eyes. “My Baby.” Kia pushed his lips to the side, his eyes staring into the distance. Olivia disengaged from the hug completely. “The baby is yours!?” She didn’t know if she should be happy at the news or disgusted at the lady who chose to make herself an object of shame. “Yes, but…” Kia stopped to get a hang of himself. “But?” Olivia left him and walked towards Harper. “It is in danger.” “She tried killing it off?” She stared at Harper on the bed and refused to touch her. “She tried killing its father.” Serenity exposed. “What?” Olivia snapped her head towards Kia whose eyes snapped shut, refusing to look anyone in t
“I reject…” “Wait!” Serenity had screamed at him, the painful ripping of her heart was overwhelming. She could not bear to hear him say it all out. “Please don’t.” She found herself pleading. “I can’t do this anymore. We can’t do this.” He said robotically. “Aiden.” She called him, holding onto the sticky bar, not minding the stench and the severity of the situation. “Leave.” Aiden looked away. “I can’t. We are mated.” Serenity found herself saying. “I killed her,” Aiden confessed, putting her off. “What!?” She would admit, she was shocked. He smirked at her shocked expression as if that had been his expectation all along. “Serenity!” Someone called her from the entrance. “Please leave if you are in.” Another ordered. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be there, it was the rule but she didn’t mind violating this rule. “We will come in two minutes, and we request you leave, or else we won’t be responsible for whatever reaction you get.” The head prison guard said this time.
Alpha Rex sat with his shoulders sagged on Olivia’s high bed. He couldn’t and didn’t look at her face, he only listened. “Alpha Victor, he made me a clean slate.” She sniffled, her shoulders shook. She went ahead to recount what happened up until the day she met Liam. “He was a lonely and depressed little boy.” She sniffed again, before blowing her nose into her handkerchief. “He poisoned me. He…he used his abilities on me.” Alpha Rex’s face was in a frown as he stared at the floor. He hadn’t still forgiven Liam for what he did to him years ago; he would have almost died if Victor, his Gamma, hadn’t saved him. But even that was a ploy too. Olivia looked up at her Mate, standing up, she came and sat beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Would you believe me if I told you he didn’t do it because he wanted to?” She asked him. Alpha Rex looked at his long-lost Mate with shaky eyes. “What do you mean?” “Rex.” Olivia sighed. “He would have refused if he didn’t want to do
Kia looked down on the kneeling Harper who held his kneels like her life depended on it. “Please, Kia.” Harper was on her knees, her hands holding his legs tightly. “Is the baby mine or not?” He looked ahead after asking her the question. “Please.” She repeated and he banged his hand on the wall. “That is no answer to my question!” His lips were trembling as he looked at the woman he once loved with every fiber of his being. Harper swallowed; she knew she had no chance with Liam anymore, so she wanted to do anything to get Kia to take her back. Yes, she was pregnant for real, and no, the child wasn’t Liam’s; she just wanted to be the Luna of the pack. But seeing her competitor had an Alpha for a father already put her off track, there was no way in hell she could compete with that. “The baby…” She held her stomach, tears rolling down her eyes. “Yes? What happens to the baby?” He questioned. “The baby, it is…yours.” She whispered the last word. “It is mine?” Kia bit his lower
Serenity walked absentmindedly down the stairs to the underground dungeons. She didn’t know what she was doing; she didn’t know why she was walking down here. Maybe she knew, she just could not stop herself. “Hey, whatcha doing going down in there?” A prison guard held her hand to stop her from advancing. “Let go of me, I need to get something confirmed.” Her voice was cold, she did not bother looking back either. “Haven’t you considered my proposal yet?” He asked, still holding onto her arm. “I won’t repeat myself.” She just added, her eyes looking through the metal bars of the closed dungeon. “See Babes. I like you and would do whatever it is you want, just…” Serenity made a swift turn, hooked her hand under his armpit, locked her legs with his, and within a couple of seconds, he was thrown to the hard floor. “Ooowwfff! What the hell man!” The prison guard was almost in tears as he tried to roll off the floor to get to his feet. “Learn to stay off when told.” Serenity warned
Joana, whose breath almost eluded her ran as fast as she could towards the rogue pack and ended up unconscious by the gate. She was picked up and brought into the Alpha’s court. “What is this?” Alpha Victor, who got down to chain smoking to calm his sudden wrecked nerves, asked, his head pointing towards the now transformed Joana on the floor. “We found her by the gate.” One of the burly-looking men with a long mustache replied, gently kicking Joana on her stomach. “Wake her.” He looked away, smoking off the cigar in her hand. Taking a bottle of water, a tomboyish-looking woman sprinkled it on Joana’s face till her eyes fluttered open. Coughing with her hands flying towards her nose to stop her from inhaling the nauseating smoke, Joana tried to understand her environment. She thought back to what happened before now but her brain went blank. “What brings you to my pack woman?” Alpha Victor’s deep voice asked. Joana straightened up immediately upon hearing Alpha Victor’s voice
