2024-11-19 19:29:34Moon's POV
I 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 satisfying their hunger and thirst.
I come to a stop in front of the door and attempt to push the door open until I hear snickering noises coming from behind. I turn around to gaze at the culprits and realize it is just Diana and her goons, the queens of the pack. When I mean the queens, I sort of mean the bullies of the pack.
"Look at you, looking so dolled up. I wonder why." Diana says with a light chuckle, the rest of her friends laugh at her words and I scrunch my brows in confusion at her, why is she always so mean to me?
"Go away, Diana. I am not ready for your bickering." I say with a frown on my face. I am sincerely always so tired of her, she is always on my neck and it can get frustrating most of the time, although today I will not let her get to me, not when something great is about to happen.
"Excuse me? Did I just hear you tell me to get lost?" Diana asks walking towards me. The clicking noise of her heels makes me grit my teeth and clench my fist in anger.
"You know I never said such Diana. Please just leave me alone." I say attempting to walk away from her but she grabs me by the wrist and pulls me away from the door.
The only reason Diana still picks on me is because she is a stronger werewolf than I am. No matter how much I try to stand up for myself, Diana is always strong enough to pull me down.
"You did." She yells at me grabbing me by the collar of my dress. Oh my goodness, she is only going to make my dress look rough and it took me years to make that dress look neat and presentable, Now it is about to get ruined all thanks to Diana.
I think the best thing to do is to try to calm her down and boost her ego by pleading, yes. The only way to get through Diana is to plead for mercy.
"Please Diana, just let me go. Today is not just the right day for you to torment me." I say with pleading eyes. Diana scoffs and rolls her eyes at me.
"Why? So you can confess your undying love to Aiden?" She snaps at me. Wait, how did she know? I do not remember telling anyone about it. Oh no, I probably made it so obvious that she noticed.
"I can not let you do that Moon. No, when I clearly emphasized that Aiden is mine. Stay the hell away from him you hag." Diana growls at me angrily. I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. Diana is right, she did make it clear to me that Aiden is hers but as long as Aiden did not agree to that then I refuse to back off plus the chances of Aiden liking me are much higher than the chances of him liking Diana. He has always shown interest in me and we have always been friends since we were young.
Suddenly the dining hall door flies open wide and no one other than the topic himself, Aiden steps out of the dining hall looking effortlessly gorgeous. His hair is styled perfectly and his eyes are on me.
A frown appears on his face as he walks towards Diana and me.
"Oh, hi Aiden," Diana says letting go of me and arranging her hair to appear attractive in front of him meanwhile she is a real devil inside.
Surprisingly, Aiden ignores her. He walks towards me and pulls me by the wrist. He grabs my hand and leads me into the dining hall. A huge smile spreads across my face as I watch him lead us to a table where some of his friends are sitting. There is an empty seat beside him, Aiden settles down and gestures to me to sit beside him.
I carefully sit and flash him a grateful smile.
"Thank you for saving my life back there." I say pausing to wink at him. A confused look appears on Aiden's face. He raises a brow at me and asks "What do you mean saved your life back there?"
I am about to reply but Aiden beats me to it. "You know Moon, I think this is the perfect time to make something very clear to you." He says. I nod my head and gaze at him excitedly. I think he is about to confess his feelings for me.
"What? You can tell me, I am all ears." I say.
Aiden sighs, he places his hands on my shoulder and gazes at me. "Moon, you need to learn to stand up for yourself. Especially in front of people like Diana and her dumb friends. They will keep treating you like trash if you do not learn to stand up for yourself." Aiden says. Oh, that was what he wanted to say? Aiden can be very overprotective of me sometimes. That is the more reason why I think he likes me and it is why I am going to confess my feelings to him today.
"Focus Moon!" Aiden snaps at me, his harsh tone jolts me back to reality. I roll my eyes at him and nod my head with a small shrug.
"It is not like I can not stand up for myself, I can Aiden. I just like it when you defend me." I say smiling cheekily. Aiden nudges my shoulder and a serious look remains plastered on his face.
"I am serious Moon, what if I am not always around? What would you do then?" He asks.
"You are always going to be around Aiden. It is not like you are going somewhere else anytime soon. Calm down and believe in me. I can handle Diana myself anyways." I say. My last statement is a lie though, I can not handle Diana myself. I do not think I can handle anything myself.
"Can we talk about something else, please? I have something else to tell you." I say. Aiden raises a brow at me but nods his head and gestures to me to go ahead.
I gulp a lump down my throat and my entire body shakes in fear. I look around to see if anyone is looking at us and surprisingly, a few people in the dining hall have their eyes in our direction. I clear my throat and shut my eyes close.
"Aiden, I love you and I want you to be my mate."

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

Bringing his hand slowly to her face, Moon’s brows drew together in confusion as her eyes scanned his face before barely following his hands. He saw her throat bob, her lashes twitch, and her mouth tremble; maybe she knew what he wanted to do. Looking at the dumbfounded man a few feet behind Moon, he gave a sly smile before swooping down on Moon’s lip. Moon drew a sharp intake of air seeing his face draw dangerously close to hers at a fast yet slow pace. A warning bell blared into her ears. She knew she ought to disentangle herself from him, but a part of her wanted to know how It felt to be accepted by a long-lost crush.Aiden’s lips froze on Moon’s lips with his eyes wide open and staring at hers which were shit tightly. For the first time in a long time, his already beating heart began to beat faster than usual. With his heartbeat racing faster than usual, his hands a little shaky as he tried to stabilize them, he proceeded to kiss her. First, slowly sucking at her supple lips,

Diana’s POV.I had been watching Aiden from the minute that stupid Moon found the courage from Selena’s knows-where to confess her feelings to my man-to-be. I watched his mocking smiles and snide and harsh comments, but within me, I knew they were all fake, a façade to mask his real feelings. He mocks her feelings, but the hurt in his eyes can’t be masked; he pretends to be indifferent, but his eyes secretly follow her around.The same night after his rejection, I followed him only to see him walk out of the gate. I would have gone after him if only I didn’t have these stupid friends of mine tailing me and worshipping even my footprints.I stayed awake, waiting for him just to see her sneak in first then, he followed. The feeling I felt that mightn’t be forgotten in a hurry as I thought about the audacity of that dirty, weak werewolf to try snatching my man from me.I suspect what they did at the dining was for show, and they had something serious going on beneath the surface.

The sun peeked into the room through the curtain and Liam groaned at the splitting headache he felt. His body felt weird, and there was an unfamiliar weight on him; he struggled to open his eyes, but in the process of doing so, he thought his head was going to split into two, so he kept them closed, taking his time to finally open them. First, his right eye, but things were a little blurry; then, his left eye. Looking around his room which was a mess, his brain finally registered that there was something or someone on him. Seeing the familiar brown curly hair on her head, Liam’s heart skipped a bit. ‘Moon?’ was the first thought that came to his head but the connection wasn’t there. Now, his heart was thudding in anticipation and surprise. Who was this person on him? What had he done last night? He struggled to remember. She moved on him, and he realized again with growing alarm that he was naked. NAKED! And she was, too! Now, he was beginning to breathe fast. No, he couldn’t

Withdrawing his already swollen lips from hers with a thin silver line being the only connection between their lips, he looked at the Beta in excessive pain, cutting the thin line of saliva between Harper and him. Gently detaching her body from his, he stood up, keeping her with utmost care on his seat before proceeding to walk towards Kia who was now in a kneeling position.“What just happened?” He asked squatting to Kia’s level.“Did you just try to harm Moon and me?” His smile was daunting and mirthless.“No, NO. She isn’t Moon!” Kia found himself yelling over the sound of music, trying to knock some sense into Liam’s head. “Oh, now you are being unrealistic.” Liam sucked his teeth.“Why didn’t I think of this method before now?” He asked himself as he watched his Beta writhing in pain.“All right, for old time's sake, I will help you.” The words flowed lightly from his lips, and Kia looked at him through the severe pain he was going through.“You can free yourself from this pain

“You can leave and enjoy the party to your satisfaction. Any more disruption and you are out.” He said waving them off and urging the acting waiter to pour more wine into his empty glass.“You should stop now; you are drunk,” Kia warned, giving the man a sign to stop pouring his drink.“It seems like you have forgotten your oath just in a few minutes.” Liam threatened glaring at Kia.“Know your place.” He said and reached out his hand, taking the bottle of wine from the waiter.“You rather listen to him, than listen to me?” Liam asked the confused man who had this fright on his face with a stance ever ready to bolt out of his position. “I am sorry Alpha, I…” “Get out!” Liam ordered, the fire in his yellow orbs blazing even more as the man ran out immediately.Taking another stick of cigar, Liam was about to light when a strong perfume hit his nostrils.“Let me do that for you, Alpha Liam.” The coquettish voice said, making him pause his actions and give a frown before looking up at

“Kneel properly or leave,” Liam ordered using his aura as an Alpha. “I won’t do this against your will.” He continued. “If you don’t want to, walk out.”“I will.” “You will?”“You will what?” Liam asked him. “I will take the oath.” “Draw your blood,” Liam commanded and watched Kia bite into his hand long and hard enough to get his blood out. Following Liam’s finger, Kia made his blood drop on the place pointed out, and Liam did the same. “I swear to always be loyal to Alpha Liam of the Blood Moon pack as his Beta till eternity,” Kia swore and watched his blood simmer, and soon, both bloods mixed themselves thoroughly, and they were gone. “What?” Liam asked Kia when he looked up at him in question. “Were you thinking I would swear to be loyal to you too?” He asked, the amusement in his voice a bit too loud. “Henceforth, you are bound to me, body, wolf, and soul. You can choose to betray me at your risk.” Alpha Liam said healing himself and making a show of flexing his muscle

Liam’s POVCalming myself down in this situation is a hard task, but I do. I had always had absolute control over my emotions until meeting Moon just recently. On the thought of her, I waited till it got a little darker before deciding to move out. I can’t remember the last time I made use of my ability, but this night, to see Moon, I will.In Kia’s head, I know he thinks I have transferred all of my ability to him. He doesn’t know he just has a fraction of it and nothing more. Though I have lost my ability to be invisible, the ability to pass through hard surfaces was still present. Standing up and deliberately dressing in a black sleeveless muscle shirt and shorts, I made my way through the walls towards the back of the pack house. Remembering something, I walked back into my room through the wall and created an illusion of me sleeping. Knowing Kia, he would come in occasionally without prior notice to check up on me.

Liam’s POV.Diana? She mentioned her name in the passing, but I held onto that while pretending not to hear her. What was it she was spewing about Moon? She looked familiar and malicious; I know I shouldn’t trust her, but how could I not? After getting stood up by my mate and stumbling upon her kissing another man. “She filled my head with a lot of nonsense,” I said grabbing my hair.But on saying that, I wonder who did. Moon or Diana? Did Moon fabricate tales to make me pity her? Love her? Or, is Diana the right one? After all, I can’t wipe away the fact that there are bits of truth in her words. After that night, standing up with extreme hurt and heartache, I vowed never to set foot there anymore. Moon, Diana, and the Silverstone pack can all go to hell. Walking back home wasn’t as easy as I thought. Heartbreak was the last thing I expected to experience, but I did experience it: not being able to sleep, not being able to eat well enough, losing interest in things, and wanting

The past Moon would have been over the moon at that question, not this Moon. Looking into his eyes, she was almost deceived for a moment that he was sincere. At this moment, she noticed something she had been blind to all along.He had only ever used the word ‘like’* around her and not ‘love,’ not to mention his indifference to her being bullied, his joining in the fun of making a complete mockery of her, and his acting like he didn’t know her at all. “You disgust me.” Moon spat out glaring hard at him. “What did you just say?” He asked, taking a step closer to her with his eyes red and wide open. “You claim to LIKE me,” Moon said, a chortle escaping her lips despite the pain she was in. “I do like you, and there is no need to put it down for some previously homeless bastard.” He said with his lips lifted like he had some nuts loosed. Moon’s hands itched to smack his face at his tagging Liam a homeless bastard. Swallowing the harsh words to avoid any rash reaction from him, she

Moon’s eyes stared at the whiteness of his eyes in the dark in horror after he lay on top of her, lightly placing his weight on her while supporting the rest of it with his hands on the floor. “Let me help you, Moon.” He whispered in her ears. Shaking off the feeling of anxiety spreading speedily along her body parts and coming to settle in her stomach, she closed her eyes to avoid looking at his face which was closer than normal to hers. “Get off me Aiden.” She pleaded gently, a little tear peeking out of her eyelids.“I can’t. If I do, you’d run off and if you run off, there is a possibility of being caught by the guards.” He said. “You know the guards are on the lookout for you?” He asked her softly. Snapping her eyes open, she furrowed her brow at his craftiness. “And whose fault is it huh? Whose fault is it?” “I was only doing it for your good Moon.”“Allow my name to stay out of your lips.” She said irritated by the affectionate way he called her. “See, someone is coming

Moon’s POVBending with a pounding heart, I carried the parcel and waited for a bit to see if someone from somewhere would pounce on me and yell to attract attention. When nothing of such happened, I slowly receded into my room with the parcel in my hand. It felt a little heavy, I had to use both hands. Sitting on the side of my bed, I kept the parcel, studied it, and contemplated sneaking out to meet Liam first. “But…”Okay, never mind, I will just open it slowly. Drawing it carefully close to me, I take my time unwrapping the carefully packed parcel just in case there is a need to repackage it back the way it was packaged.Inside this beautifully wrapped package, I saw two other wrapped packages. By this time, my heart was thundering. What if I blow up? Or is something harmful in the parcel? Another unwanted memory flashed in my mind, but I blinked it away.Picking one parcel and throwing care into the wind. I tore it open to see a little note attached to the attractive-looking
