Confession
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"So your father and me got an invitation," My mother says, eyes expressionless. "A ceremony cointaining lead Alphas and their mates from all over the country."
I can't exactly pay attention to what she's saying, I'm thinking of something else. It has been a week since I sent that letter by our local raven. I can't really expect a reply from her, it's not like I wanted or asked something. But still the craving is there, I want to talk to her. I want to see her again. I want to get rid of this confusion and frustration.
"You don't look well. Is something the matter with you?" my mother slightly frowns, apparently she didn't like the feeling showing my negligence to her speech.
"No, I'm fine," I shake my body in a speedy motion, as if to show off how strong and light my body feels. "So you and father are going to attend this ceremony?"
"It's not like an order from the King, but it might be a great experience since all the lead Alphas will be there, according to their will. I also came to know that some family members of the lead Alpha can also join, as long as it's appropriate and meets the requirements."
Suddenly I'm weary, listening earnestly to her though she continues to remain expressionless. Since all the lead Alphas will attend the ceremony, does that mean....
"You're not thinking about the Blood Moon girl, are ya?" Charles growls behind me, his expression tells that he's aware of the ceremony news.
"She's not just some girls, an Alphaess. At least show some respect," I reply in a grumpy voice. It's clear that he still haven't accepted the rejection from Nyx quite well, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.
"Respect?" he scoffs, glancing at my mother. "Dear Mother, will you teach your stupid son a lesson? He's been going outta hands recently, forgetting how that girl humiliated our pack."
"All she did was rejecting the marriage proposal with you," I shrug. "I don't see how that would consider the whole pack."
Charles is at a loss of words hearing this and leaves the room with a storm after giving me a vicious glare. And my mother lets out a soft sigh, saying nothing.
Now this is my chance to see Nyx again, by attending the ceremony next week.
~
"Welcome to the beginning of Alpha Pleasure ceremony," the man wearing suit coat announces it loudly by the mic, holding a neverending smile. Most of the crowd stops for a moment to hear what he has to say, some of the others continuing what they were doing.
My eyes keep wandering among the crowd, looking for a familiar figure. Though I assume that she probably won't be here at the festival, since she's an Alphaess, she must have gotten handful of expensive private festivals or something like that. I stare at the dens decorations behind the stage, wondering if she would be there. Among the storm of countless wolves here, a certain person is pretty tough to find, I won't deny that.
I walk to the massive tables full of foods after a while, asking myself if I'm in the mood for to eat. Since this is a national festival, there are also wolf meats, seems nicely cooked. But the sight of those meat pieces gross the hell outta me, I'd never be in a place where I take part in cannibalism, no matter how hard it gets.
"Hungry?" a voice whispers behind me suddenly.
I immediately recognise the voice, whose tone I've wanted and craved to hear for weeks. I slowly turn and see her smiling mischievously at me. She looks brighter and prettier than I could even imagine, her plain white outfit radiating beautiful aura.
"Nyx, Alphaess Nyx," I breath heavily as I utter her name.
She glances around the area and offers me her hand to hold, "Mind getting out of this place, Alpha Lorenzo?"
~
We walk by the bank of a calm, small river near the festival area, our hands are almost touching. I wait for her confirmation with an excessively beating heart, wondering if that's too much. South wind breeze continues to bless our souls and Nyx lets me hold her hand with a soft chuckle.
"What's the nervousness for, Lorenzo?" she calls me by my name for the first time.
I look into her eyes, wanting to tell her all the unspoken feelings and sentences I have been concealing.
"I can't help it, when I'm with you, Nyx."
She definitely knows. Psychology says that girls are good at getting hints like this, but in most of the cases, they act like they don't know anything. Honestly I can't blame her in this situation, it was just that day she rose to the throne. That event still feels hard to believe, the power this girl holds, and right now I'm holding her hand.
"I don't really expect you to give me an answer right now," I say again, stopping my steps and experiencing boldness. "You can have all the time you want, but eventually I demand an answer."
"Demand an answer of what, Alpha Lorenzo?" she looks at me softly, sunlight majestically radiating on her beautiful face and hair.
I take a deep breath, thinking what if there goes nothing and she rejects me without any second chance. I don't wanna imagine the outcome, but can't help denying that thought either.
"The answer to the feelings that I have for you. You have taken over my mind the moment I first saw you and you're the first one. I want to be your mate, Alphaess Nyx, I want to take care of you till my last breath. I don't demand an answer from you right away, I'm sure this is sudden for you. I want to be a better man for you, a man you can brag about, and I'm ready to do anything for that."
"Are you sure you're not mistaking your feelings? Maybe those feelings are the signs of friendship?" Nyx blurts out awkwardly, her cheeks are blushing with embarrassment.
"No, Alphaess, there's no mistake," I shake my head, feeling desperate to prove my emotions. "Man and woman can't be friends, and I don't intend to form a friendship with you either way. I wanna be your soulmate, want to love you and take care of you, protecting of from any kind of danger and stand by you at every situation."
Nyx slowly steps closer to me, pressing my hand to her chest. She looks into my eyes, eyes full of smile and affection. As she tiptoes on her feet and softly presses her moist lips to my cheek, my heart stops beating.
"Apparently we need time, Lorenzo. But I'll wait for you," she whispers to my ear, "As you'll wait for me."
"And then we'll be together forever," I take her into my arms, hugging her tightly.
I'm so happy. But also determined to make the best of myself, for her.
For us.

Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Devious Training
For the next six months, I prepare myself for absolute hell. At first it seemed like pure torture, but I put my mind and determination into it. For the first month, I was sent to the national training camp for werewolves. As much as I hate to admit it, I've never taken such type of training in my whole life, because I thought that wasn't necessary since we're a prestigious family. My family didn't oppose much when I said I would be gone for months, only Albera expressed her worries and told me to be careful. At the training camp, we have to spend our every moment by following a schedule, in order to achieve perseverance, discipline and patience. People here are also trained to do meditation, which helps to discover the soul and control their emotions which are very significant. I kept being fed with new things and techniques and tried my best to do things right. A sudden burst of gas hit my senses, making me cough vigorously as I was distracted.

"Your dinner is ready, Alphaess," Maria bows her head, worriedly looking at Nyx. Nyx says nothing and continues to lie on her bed motionless. She has a lot going on her mind, and she doesn't even want to figure it out. A great power comes with great offerings and regrets, it never comes alone. Right now she's wishing someone will come forward to save her from this mess, and she can relax in an island or something like that in the meantime. What a bizarre wish, she laughs at her helplessness. "Alphaess," Maria addresses again, trying to keep her tone polite. Nyx glances at her, aware of her presence and mindset. She doesn't feel like eating or doing anything, but she still gets up hoping food will help remove her distress for a while. "Any letters for me, Maria?" "No, Alphaess."Nys wonders if Lorenzo heard about the war too. That will only cause him to worry about her and interrupt his training, which she doesn't wish for. She sighs, preparing her mind to be strong, she's not som
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Betrayal of a Keen
When Nyx comes back to her den, she is immediately notified about an emergency meeting. She lets out a sigh and slips into some comfortable clothes within a few moments, the traditional clothes are such a hassle. She pauses the moment she enters the meeting room, there is a person she never thought she would see again. Her younger brother Walker is standing in the corner of the room, looking like a completely changed man. His hair has grown down his shoulders within a few months, his physique has become bulky and powerful. "Heya, sister," he waves his hand, smirking. "I thought you left to join the warrior squad," Nyx scoffs, finding it hard to believe. "How come I didn't know you're such a great actor, Walker?"He laughs maniacally, making everyone present at the hall question his sanity. "Because you were dumb, sister. A neglected daughter who was always obsessed with fucking witchcraft, craving for revenge. You got your throne, but at what cost? All of this is gonna be annihilat
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Two Lovebirds
"I can't believe you're here!" Nyx mutters hugging me tightly, clasping into my chest. I gently pat her head, brimming with happiness. Honestly I had to come here, I couldn't concentrate even for a bit in the training after hearing all the war news. I used her name to enter the pack, saying I had urgent personal business with the Alphaess. Even though the area looks calm and normal, it feels like the calm before the storm. "Come to my den," Nyx holds my hand tightly and starts running swiftly. Can't help but love seeing her excitement, while the other people are looking at us with wide eyes, must be a rare sight for them. Nyx closes the door after we enter the room, eyeing me upside down, like I'm an experiment. "You gained a lot of muscles," she softly punches my biceps. "The training was pretty harsh there," I reply, but that was all worth it even after not being finished. I step forward and gently take her face in my hands, looking dearly into her eyes. "Are you ok
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant When The Storm Comes
But at that moment, there's a knock at the door, completely ruining my intention. "Alphaess!" two guards hastily barges into the room before Nyx can even say anything, showing off their distress and impatience. Nyx quickly stands up, "What's wrong?" "There was an attack on the north gate, leaving two of protection guards injured. Your presence is immediately required there." She turns to me, "Let's get ready, Lorenzo. The war has started already." I nod my head and walk fastly to the warrior squad den. I pull my robe over my hips, awkwardly cooling down my excitement. There will be plenty of chances to making love, but for now, we have to win in the war. "Alpha Lorenzo," the Commander of the squad hands me an armor and necessary equipments. I admire noticing his bulky figure, no wonder that he's immensely powerful. I also appreciate the fact that he doesn't disrespect me or anything, despite me being from another pack. "Soldiers!" The Commander yells, making the squad quiet in
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Invading
“Nyx!” I scream and sprint forward, staring at her fallen body with shock. What just happened?She tries to lift up her body, balancing on her hands, but the arrow has hit her in her chest. I gaze at the massive blood pool, my whole head feels numb. “Nyx, oh my Nyx,” I rush to drop beside her, pressing my hands on her wound. I glance around, everyone seems busy fighting their opponents, no one is paying attention to their Alphaess. I yell out, “Someone help!”“That's no use,” Noah utters from behind, his voice filled with cruelty. “It's just a matter of time till she loses all of her blood and dies. That's what she gets for being reckless. So sad and pathetic, dying only after six months of ruling the pack!”“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” I give him a deathly stare and jump onto him, breaking out of my armour, to my wolf. All my senses are heightened, all I wanna do is now to rip this bastard apart, all I see is now blood. Noah falls back due to my sudden attack, taken aback. My wolf doesn't g
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Crimson Reckoning
I immediately cover Nyx with my body, cursing myself for not being an advanced shifter. If I was, then it would take me mere ten seconds to rip apart this guy's throat. “Yumm,” the vampire nastily gawks at Nyx’s legs, licking his lips. “Your girl has such a strong scent, I'm feeling like getting drunk!”“Shut your trap,” I warn him, while brainstorming what to do in this situation. This guy clearly got a team with him, it's just a matter of time till they arrive. They have advanced through the century, which is pretty impressive, I can sense the aura. “Vampire? There are vampires in my pack?” Nyx gasps, trying to sit up. “Oh?” the guy smirks, stepping closer to the bed slowly. “I heard the Blood Moon had a new Alphaess. But I didn't think she would be this fresh! Evading this useless pack was worth it after all.”“Lorenzo, I can't transform right now, I'm so weak,” she grips my forearm, distressed. “What do we_”Before she can finish her sentence, the vampire sprints forward to me,
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Heart of Darkness
Sharp fangs glisten. Murderous claws swipe through the air. Screams and slashes fill the chaos around me as attempts to break enemies' necks echo through the night. Eyes are gouged out, and guts are ripped from bodies.And I stand there alone, caught in the midst of the turmoil. My mind isn’t clear; I’m just watching the people around me kill each other. I feel like I’m drifting in a haze, disconnected from reality.Suddenly, a female vampire leaps at me, trying to sink her teeth into my skin. I nonchalantly seize her neck and twist it, relishing the sound of her bones snapping under my grip. A thrill courses through me as I rip her heart from her chest, observing her body slowly decay before my eyes. It’s as if the sound of life slipping away jolts me back to awareness, but in that moment, I can almost feel her energy fading.“Lorenzo! What are you doing here?” A deep, husky voice startles me, and strong hands grip my shoulders.“Aldoph!” I frown, taken aback. “Same question to you.

I never thought this would happen. Never.Not like this. Not now. Not with him.I watch as Lorenzo’s chest rises and falls, each breath getting weaker, slower, like the very life within him is being drained away. The blood still stains the floor around us, a reminder of how quickly everything is unraveling. It’s as if time itself is slipping through my fingers, and all I can do is hold onto him. My mate. My everything.His hand is so cold in mine. I try to warm it, press my palm against his, but it feels like the warmth is fading, like the life inside of him is ebbing away with each passing second. I press my cheek against his forehead, my tears falling freely, mixing with the blood that covers us both. Healers, even the world's most powerful healer can't help him. "Lorenzo," I whisper, my voice hoarse with the weight of my fear. "Please, don’t do this. Please don’t leave me. I can’t lose you. I just_ I can’t."But he doesn’t answer. His lips remain still, and his eyes are closed, as
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Powerless
I wake up to the sound of rustling leaves. It’s quiet, too quiet, like the calm before a storm. My head is pounding, a sharp ache that seems to cut through my skull. I blink, trying to focus, but everything is blurry, and I’m suddenly aware of a sickening warmth creeping up from my stomach. I sit up, but the room tilts and spins, and before I can stop it, I feel a wave of nausea wash over me. I stagger out of bed, desperate to make it to the bathroom, but my legs feel like they’re made of lead.The moment I stand, the room tilts to the side. My vision darkens.I feel the bile rise in my throat, and I can’t stop it. I double over in pain, retching violently. Blood splatters across the floor, staining the stone tiles beneath my feet. My chest tightens, the air becoming harder and harder to breathe, but I can’t control it. The blood keeps coming.“Lorenzo!” The voice is frantic, filled with fear.I look up, and through my blurred vision, I see Nyx rushing toward me, her face pale with wo
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Ache
I can hear the soft rustling of leaves, the distant calls of the creatures in the woods around us, but all of it fades away in the face of the moment. It’s happening.Enzo. My son.I watch him, standing tall in the middle of the clearing, the wolf inside him finally unleashed. His transformation is complete. The air around us crackles with the energy of it, the power of the wild that he’s just embraced.My heart swells with pride. I always knew this day would come—the day he would claim his wolf, step into his true power. But as I watch him now, golden eyes glowing in the pale moonlight, there’s a knot tightening in my chest. It’s the curse.The curse that has loomed over me, hovering like a dark cloud, waiting for the moment when my son would finally become whole. The moment when the last part of him would emerge. The moment when the bond between us would be fully realized.And with that realization, I would lose him.I swallow, trying to push away the bitter taste of that thought. I
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Awakening
The moonlight spills into the clearing, casting a soft glow across the forest. It’s peaceful here, the wind rustling gently through the leaves, the scent of pine filling the air. But tonight, there’s a different energy—a charge in the atmosphere, thick with anticipation. Nyx stands by Lorenzo, her heart beating faster than usual as they watch their son, Enzo, standing in the center of the clearing.He’s ready. He has to be. Tonight is the night he finally gets his wolf, the transformation that will mark him as a true Lycan, as one of their kind.Nyx can see the nervous tension in Enzo’s posture, the way his hands are clenched at his sides. His chest rises and falls with each breath, his golden eyes flickering nervously toward her and Lorenzo. He’s been through so much already, and though he may be growing stronger, there’s still a part of him that’s afraid. Afraid of the unknown, afraid of the power that’s about to course through his veins.Enzo is a warrior in the making, but tonight
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Incoming
It’s quiet for a moment. Too quiet. The wind, which had been carrying the scent of the surrounding forest, now seems to still, as though the entire world is holding its breath. Nyx watches Enzo carefully, her heart beating faster than usual as she takes a step closer to him, her protective instincts flaring.Lorenzo stands beside her, his gaze locked on their son, who is standing tall, his hands clenched at his sides. Enzo looks nervous—no, more than nervous. He looks unsure, as if something so big, so monumental is about to happen, and he’s not quite ready for it. Nyx can understand that. She remembers when she first felt the power of her wolf and the weight of her responsibility. But this? This was different.Enzo isn’t just a wolf. He’s a Lycan, and he’s about to awaken something inside him that none of them fully understand.She can see it in his eyes—the flicker of uncertainty, the quiet struggle to accept what’s coming. But it’s in his blood, running deep. There’s no escaping it
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Ritual
The ground beneath us shakes, sending a ripple of unease through my bones. The ritual has begun, but it’s not like anything I’ve ever felt before. The magic surrounding us pulses like a living thing, thrumming in the air. It feels as if the very forest is alive, watching, waiting.Lorenzo’s hand tightens around mine, his fingers steady despite the chaos unfolding around us. Enzo stands beside us, his expression unreadable, but I know he feels it too—the power, the danger. I can sense the tension in the air, thick and heavy, as if everything could unravel in an instant.Lyra’s voice cuts through the cacophony of power, calm and firm. “Stay focused. Let the magic guide you.”I glance at Lorenzo, his jaw clenched, his eyes hard with determination. He doesn’t say anything, but I know he’s thinking the same thing I am. This is dangerous, more so than any battle we’ve fought. The Heart of the Forest is a place of immense power, but it’s also unpredictable. We don’t know what we’ll face.The
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant To be ready
The days blur as we prepare for the ritual. The elves have been working tirelessly, gathering everything we need, and the weight of what’s coming hangs over me like a storm cloud. It’s all happening too fast. The sense of urgency is palpable, but I can’t shake the fear that something is going to go wrong. I can feel it in the air, the subtle tremor of something dark lurking just out of sight.Nyx doesn’t say much about it. She’s focused, her mind on the task at hand. I can tell she’s trying to keep her worries buried, not wanting me to see how heavy the weight is on her shoulders. But I see the way she looks at Enzo sometimes, that protective glance, the way her hand lingers on his shoulder when she thinks no one is watching. It’s clear she’s worried about him, too. He’s young, still finding his place in the world, and the challenges ahead are only going to get harder.We’re ready. At least, I hope we are.The night before the ritual, I sit with Nyx in the clearing outside the village
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Earthquake
The days blur together. Every moment spent thinking of the elven village, wondering where they are, and wondering what this new beginning holds for us. The tension in the pack lingers, and the responsibility of leading weighs heavier with each passing hour.But Nyx’s presence grounds me. She’s always been the strength I need, the constant anchor in the storm of uncertainty. Her words keep me focused, her eyes keep me hopeful.Enzo, too, has been a source of light. I can tell he’s worried about Noah, his elf friend, but he’s stronger now. Not as the child I once knew, but as someone who understands the depths of what we’re up against.Today, we leave the Blood Moon Pack behind for a while. The elves have called for us. They need to speak with us, and Nyx insists that we need to go. I agree, though there’s a part of me that’s reluctant to leave the pack. There’s always a part of me that’s reluctant to leave the familiar and step into unknown territory, but I know this is necessary.Enzo
Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant Morning
The morning light filters through the window, casting soft beams across the room. I lie there, tangled in the sheets with Nyx in my arms, her breath slow and even as she rests against me. It’s peaceful here, in this moment, but the lingering weight of everything that’s been happening presses down on me.The quiet is almost deceptive. We’re in the calm before the storm.I brush a strand of hair from Nyx’s face, my fingers gently tracing her features. She stirs slightly, her eyes fluttering open. Her gaze meets mine, and for a split second, the world outside disappears. There’s only us, here, in this room. Safe. Together.“Morning,” I whisper, my voice raspy from sleep.She smiles faintly, her lips curving upward. “Morning.”Her hand rests on my chest, and I can feel the steady rhythm of her heartbeat. It’s grounding, comforting, like everything is okay for once. But I know better. This peace we’ve found isn’t permanent. There’s always something lurking in the shadows, just waiting to p
