Harlow's Pov“We can't do any of what we just said! It's lame, childish, and Irene can never fall for our ideas.” I confirmed.Irene is smart, and she's a crook, so I don't think she would fall for our rubbish trap. But, Blair… She's talking about committing murder.“And, Blair, you do know you can't kill anyone, right? It's going to be a very heated war the moment Irene dies, and every finger would point at you.” I explained, and a thought came to my head. “Why would you even think of killing her? “ I blurted out my thoughts, and she blinked at me confused at what answer to give.“ Harlow, I'm the first Luna, and you're not telling me what to say or do! “ Blair replied darkly.Here she goes again!Who's dragging the first Luna with her?“ This isn't about being the first Luna or not. Truth be told, your heart is really poisoned, that's why only dark things come out of it. “ Jade scoffed the moment she made that statement and she stood up.“I won't co—” “Could you just keep quiet and
Harlow's Pov“You really think you can fight us off with that?” Lucan the rouge said out loud while laughing.I gathered my stance… Come to think of it, I'm so weak or should I say I act weak.The fact that these rouges had mocked me different times irritated me.I know I'm strong and yes I have to be strong… Even if it's just for today, there is clearly no one here to help me apart from me.Lucan lurked towards me and I hit him on the head with my bone like weapon, thus making him bleed in the process.I don't know how I gathered that momentum but yeah…. I acted on impulse.“You dare hit me!!!” Lucan growled and staggered towards me.I wasn't able to escape, and he grabbed me by the neck while the other rogue punched my stomach.“Argh!!” I cried out in pain.Getting my resolve, I nibbled my lips tightly and sent forth my legs forward, therefore hitting Lucan in his groins.Suddenly, a rogue from nowhere sprang towards me, hitting me in the process.I lost balance and fell down, hitti
Harlow's PovAs we all walked back to the pack, the maze looked more and more easy to get back to the pack. How did I even get lost in the first place? As we got to the pack, Lucian maintained his distance, but the sober look on his face was to let me know that Marc was going to punish him altogether.That was the thing that had been slaves! You must be punished, no matter whose fault it actually was.Trust me, I've lived that kind of life.Marc was angry, but I don't know why!Well, we walked through the hallway as greetings accompanied us, but there was a tense atmosphere that Marc didn't fail to notice so he kept walking.I had to follow him because I didn't want any reprimand of any sort, I would only leave when he asks me to and too bad he didn't look like he would ask me to leave any time soon.Walking through the hallway, we got to the grand room where meetings were held and the elders were all seated.I hope this isn't some question and answer session.“Marc, thanks for brin
Blair's PovWhatever game Irene was playing, she needs to be dealt with because for all I know she wouldn't stop being stupid.“Where are you going?” I heard the voice of Rona ask.“What do you care about?” I said still walking.“I care because it seems no one is taking what is about to happen seriously, it's like everyone has forgotten about everything, and it's so annoying.” Rona explained, at least someone has a reasoning like me.“I would handle this myself because I'm truly the one not safe here so I'd have to do something to keep myself safe first, even if it means killing Irene off!, I'd kill her even before she thinks of killing me.” Rona just stared at me as I talked. “I'd not have a part in whatever you intend to do with Irene.” She stated, jerking a shoulder forward. “Whatever.” I rolled my eyes while walking away.“Harlow's change in attitude and everything keeps making me wonder if she's okay. I don't know If maybe she's pregnant because her appearance has changed a lot
Harlow's PovI got tired and felt like walking, and I stumbled to hear noises coming from Irene's room.I opened the door and peeked.I was very certain something fell from across the room, and she wasn't the one that pushed it down.So who would?“I said, who's in your room?" I asked again trying to peer into the room, but she kept shielding the door, blocking me from looking inside.“And who are you to ask?" Mindy asked and stepped outside, slamming the door abruptly.“Irene, there's—.” I tried saying that, but she cut me off.“I don't want to hear it, now, thanks for checking up on me. You can leave now.” She said, and surprise enveloped me.Well, I didn't have any say when it came to her life, so I just left as she requested with a heavy heart.What would she be hiding in her room?Somehow I wanted her room to be checked, so I diverted my destination to Damon's study.Getting there, I entered unannounced as usual, only to meet Alaric and Marc staring at different files furiously l
Marc's PovAfter assuring Harlow that I'd be fine, I walked with authority into the meeting hall, putting on my strong and stone-cold facade.Harlow, that little one!Somehow she had made me throw away my cold exterior whenever I'm with her and that was what bothered me the most about her.I would rather not pull down my walls for anyone anymore since I lost my first mate, but somehow, Jane always found a way to pull down those walls and get through.She was special in her, but she didn't even know it.Getting into the hall, I saw Jason at the far end, standing with his shoulders held high up, and a smug look plastered on his face.Then I knew what this whole meeting was all about, they were here to decide whether I would stay on the throne or not.Every so often I wondered why they even questioned my being on the throne, it was clear to everyone that I was best and fit for the position.But because I had lost my first child to the cold hands of miscarriage, I've never had rest. “Tha
Harlow's PovAfter the little fight I had with Marc, I left his room and entered into the pack's Village.Damn!Did I just hear that? Were they referring to me?I have to just believe they are not talking to me.“I heard she's just here to breed the Alpha's heir and take over the throne later on.” One whispered to her fellow, but it was loud enough for me to hear.Okay, now I'm certain they are talking about me.With misty and watery eyes, I gave Lucian a soft look and made her return to my room, but that was how Luna would react in this situation.“Hey! The both of you, come over here now. “ I ordered, and they obliged immediately, murmuring a few words before approaching me.“What did you say?” I questioned, trying my best to keep a defiant expression.I don't have to tear up now, Jane, you can do this!“Why do you care what we talk about?” One questioned, and the other tugged her apparel while whispering:“She's still Luna.” “She's not yet crowned, and besides she's not the first
Harlow's PovStrange things started happening in the pack house. People were just dying.“Arghh.” I yelped as my eyes laid sight on the lifeless body, and immediately Lucian came running out of nowhere towards my direction.“Luna, what's the problem?” He questioned when he was still halfway to get to me, so I just motioned for him to come over and take a look as I removed my eyes.When he got to me, he took one look at the corpse before removing his eyes and motioned for me to follow him, which I did immediately without complaining.“Who was that?” I said as we fell into pace side by side and he groaned before answering.“That was one of the guards, I need to report this Alpha Marc immediately. “ He stated, and I nodded as we both journeyed to look for Marc.We went to the grand hall, but they were no longer there so we didn't go to the next place he was most likely to be. Everyone was there.Irene, Alaric, Jade, Rona, and Blair.They look like they have seen a ghost.Getting to his o
*GOT ANOTHER MATE! DOOMSDAY!!!*Already aware of the fact that the Alpha I had just served was my second chance mate, I decided to act like I didn't notice anything and just keep on moving.Especially now that it seems like he isn't aware yet but who am I kidding?He's an Alpha and it's possible that he already knew it before I noticed.Why else would he thank a servant?I was about to pour wine for the person beside him when I felt an additional weight on my hand and somehow the touch made my body tingle."Mate." He announced to the hearing of everyone and I raised my gaze to meet his smiling eyes.Immediately, some of the Alpha's began cheering him and my eyes moistened up.Was he accepting me?On my birthday?Double bliss!!!I didn't know why but I suddenly got that feeling you get when someone is staring intensely at you and I had to swerve.As I turned, my eyes came face to face with Alpha Amos.It seemed like he was using his eyes to drill and bore holes at the back of my head.
*A MATE, AGAIN? DON'T COME TO ABANDON JUST STAY*Taken back to the dungeon was one of the most dreadful experiences but I was able to stay alive till this very moment though the darkness still creeped me out and I couldn't wait to see the light of day. Though I wasn't sure that particular wish would ever be granted. *Scoffs*Not like any of my wishes ever gets granted.Just as I cursed my very own existence, the door to the dungeon creaked open. It was like some movie that had been rewinded because come to think of it, this was the same way the door to the dungeon opened the first time I was here. "You're quite a lucky one." A voice came from the doorway and the effect of seeing sunshine after a long while made me shut my eyes as they were hurting. Shutting my eyes wasn't enough as the lights were still able to penetrate into my eyes as if they would pierce through my soul at any time.My whole being felt sore and it was even more like I'd been deprived of my freedom to live like
*BITTER SWEET*I stared with my face and eyes moistened up with tears at everyone as they threw different spiteful insults at me.Wow... How fast does news fly here?It's almost like they had a transmitter or something because how did everyone know I had shifted and even killed someone in less than an hour.Fear gripped me as I wondered the severe punishment that awaited me if the royal palace hears of this.Gosh, the last thing I want is getting back into that dungeon.If only everyone would have just a little sympathy and shut their darned mouth then everything would be fine, or would it?No matter how much I wanted sympathy, it's quite clear I just murdered someone.My thinking wasn't flowing in the right direction anymore but I couldn't fail to realize that even when I shifted to my human form, I still had my clothes on.That doesn't happen or does it?I don't even know anything anymore.And it seems like everyone is oblivious of that particular detail... My clothes aren't shredde
DREADED NIGHT*I ran out when no one was expecting and I'm pretty sure no one noticed but something was totally off. The howls in the shadows kept me in a state of both confusion and fear as I couldn't interpret the animal that produces such a howling sound.I needed to focus on how to escape effortlessly but it seems that the sound keeps distracting me by implanting fear in me. At some point I felt like it was there for only one purpose and that's me!But what the hell could that be?I noticed that I didn't have enough time to deliberate on whatever that thing was so I had to let go and continue my run.... I had this strong instinct that I would escape successfully.Where do I have in mind to go?No where!Absolutely nowhere because I had no connections with the neighboring packs. But then I still had to escape to save myself.I had gone so far and with my observations, I knew fully well that I was about to cross the border but that would only happen successfully if I am able to figh
Harlow's PovIt's already been months since I was able to feel myself once again. The fact that many things weren't right wasn't something anyone can doubt as it was clear like crystal. Everyone including everything seemed strange and it felt like I woke up from a long trance. Constantly looking at Blair stared down at me like I was a ghost, or Rona who always avoids me like I carry a disease. Not to talk of Jade whom I knew was somehow close to..."Arghhhh." I screamed internally trying my best not to yell out how frustrated I feel. I watched as Blair started walking to my direction, I felt like walking away but no, curiosity made me stay to hear whatever shit she has to say to me."How are you doing? Let's grab a drink or two." Blair didn't even wait for a reply from me as she threw both questions at me without even waiting for my reply."Excuse me but are you talking to a kid?" I asked her, anger evident in my voice."Can we go now? You mustn't throw a fit you know." Rona muttered
*Santiago*I had left Nadia's room so she would feel a little comfortable because it seemed she acted kind of weird with my presence around.Going to my study room, I placed my head on my desk as the events that had happened yesterday came like flashes of light.I had rescued a girl that would have been hanging 6 feet above if I didn't get there the time I did with my team.Now that's bad of me, always forgetting to introduce myself.I'm Santiago Beckett, doctor and banker. I know it sounds weird but that was it!!I had my mother and myself to take care of so I had to do a double task to make ends meet.And my mind went to my mother, my expression and emotion immediately changed as tragedy hit.I had rescued a girl the night before and lost my mum the same night.What a bad fate!!As a doctor, I tried my best to save my mother as it seemed she was torn apart by an animal but what I had forgotten to ask the team that found her, was where they found her body!Quite forgetful of me.Some
NadiaOn getting to his house which freaked me out like hell, we alighted and I kept staring at the car—like he called it— with a dreamy look in my eyes as I gazed at it.The noise that came out of the car when we were inside was deafening.This particular world looked weird with freaky and terrific gadgets but I kinda liked it... How the hell did we get here in split minutes? Even if it was fast, it was slow somehow!!He took me in and offered me a room but everywhere looked too clean and classy for me. I don't know why but I would have preferred it a little dirty.And also, I had forgotten to ask him why he had run out of the hospital when he had been questioning me earlier. Oh damn it!! I'll make sure to question him about it.Few minutes later, Santiago re–entered the room with a mug in his hands though his countenance wasn't as bright as it was before."Here you go. Herbs and tea, it would help relieve you of the pain you might be feeling." He said and dropped the steaming tea o
Long time ago in the Green Oak pack*MEMORIES GONEWith no other option left, I strode out of the Green oak pack as tears trickled down my eyes.I was leaving the only place I called home!!I should have known that trying to be compatible with Moses would end in a losing game.I had suffered tribulation and gotten addicted all for a losing game!!Getting to the outskirts of the city, the guards that were assigned to make sure I left the pack without causing any troubles stopped and retired back to the pack because they had gotten to their limit.I was now left alone to find my way into the woods alone as more tears fell down my eyes.Just then, I felt strange and sharp chills run down my spine and I started screaming in anguish.My head was burning and my eyes turned crystal blue as I scratched my head in exasperation.Early Lunar Madness again!!!It was too much for my human self to take so I had no other choice but to shift to my wolf form.As I transformed into my wolf form, I bega
"You killed her!!!" Alpha Xander of the Crimson pack yelled.And that was enough to confuse the remaining sanity I had left."What are you talking about!?" I asked in anger. This is becoming too much for me to handle… but then, I have to be strong for not just myself, including my pack members. I have to protect them at all costs."Don't ask me that question!!! Aside from your pack, there is no other brutal and senseless pack." Alpha Xander blurted out."Enough of the insults already!!! What were you talking about!? Killed who?" I hollered as I felt my brain would explode soon.My head was spinning as I couldn't think straight anymore. When he said 'you killed her' my thoughts drifted to Petal.Could it be that she's dead? No, that can't happen.What went wrong? " You killed Amanda!!! The child was just innocent…You killed her because you couldn't find any way to reach Petal!!!" He shouted.Okay that's fair, nothing happened to Petal and that was a relief but not entirely a sweet r
