Nox POV

My feet were as silent as a wild cat approaching its prey. I was close to Spring Moon borders now. My Beta and other warriors lurked all about the woods, waiting for my orders.

I stopped and let my senses roam the place first. Keira's warriors were also nearby, but it's not like they were ready for battle. They were merely alert and doing their usual patrol work, making sure there was no trouble near their land. If I moved any closer, one of them could see me. Then I would have to kill him so that he didn't announce my presence.

Fortunately, my meeting point with Keira was supposed to be near the borders and not deep inside Spring Moon lands. So I could watch for her from where I stood.

I knew what she planned to do. Once she had done it, Theo and my guys would get my signal to invade her pack.

She already thought the worst about me. There was no reason not to surpass her expectations tonight. She would learn just how cruel and greedy I could be since that was her impression o

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   After dark 2

    Nox POVPlan B was that we would invade and subdue all of Keira's warriors first. Then I would deal with her after I had taken her pack and murdered her piece-of-shit husband.'Alpha?' 'We'll...' She stopped pacing, causing me to forget what I was about to say. Then she looked in my direction as if she sensed something. Even from such a distance, I could scent her anger and anticipation. She was eager for things to get moving between us. She was highly impatient. Something distracted her, and she looked away from where I hid. Then she swiftly turned around and raced deeper into the pack. I followed her with silent paws.It was her Gamma, Conan, who called her attention.Theo followed me quietly and stayed well hidden.'Alpha, we're two minutes behind time on the plan,' he informed me.'We retreat,' I stated gently.'What? Like... no fighting tonight?''Yeah. No fighting. We'll come back another time.'*****I followed Keira still, keeping a good distance between us. She roamed her

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The assault

    Keira POVThe night is not going as I pictured it. I had gotten Liam's signature on all of the documents where they needed to be. But the head of the Elder's Council was missing, and I couldn't secure his notary. According to his omega, he went out in the afternoon and was not back yet.Not only that. Nox did not show up! I spent the whole night in the woods at the place where we were supposed to meet. But there was no sign of the Lycan. At some point, I'd foolishly began to worry, wondering if something happened. I imagined that the Midnight Moon may have realized that their head doctor was in danger. They may have brought battle to his pack to rescue their own.These thoughts threatened my resolve to keep hating him. I had to quickly return to my senses. Alpha Nox was the enemy, I kept repeating this to myself to keep my head straight. His reason for not showing up was clear. He was playing games. He did not want to give me the satisfaction of knowing for sure if we were fated or

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   An evening surprise

    Sometime later, I woke up in my bed in the chamber that I had Yara prepare a few days ago. Not the other master's bedroom. It was late in the afternoon. Aria had long retreated back to sleep.When I looked out the window, I was confused for a moment, thinking that it was the morning of the next day. As usual, I'd fallen into deep slumber for a few hours when my wolf went into hibernation. I was awake now and had returned to being just Keira, the weak Luna.I rushed out of bed and went to the bathroom. As I washed up, the events of the night and this early morning flooded back. The rage festered inside me for all that happened.My anger over Nox's absence was mixed with a longing that left me frustrated. I stared in the mirror at my neck, letting my fingers brush the two dark imprints that was Liam's mark. They were small and not quite bright but not invisible.At some point in our marriage, I had decided that the husband was one of those male wolves who did not put their mark on a fe

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The invasion

    Nox POVWhen I first spotted Conan running away, I thought that he was afraid of the fight and trying to go hide himself. The idea that he was a coward filled me with such revulsion and fury like I had never known. Because he was Keira's Gamma. Basically, he was her bodyguard when her wolf was unavailable. Which was most of the time.If he ran from battle like he was doing right now, how could he stand with her? How could he fight with and for her?"Aaaarrrgh!" I roared, charging after him like a deranged beast. Only when I entered the foyer of the main building did I realize what he meant to do. He was rushing inside to his Luna. Not to go hide, but to inform her of the battle. I had just entered the grand reception area when he vanished through a door. His deputy bravely jumped in front of me to stop me from going any further. Sweat poured down his brow, indicating his terror of me. But he didn't back down.My Beta came out of nowhere and dove for him, tackling him to the ground

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The sleepy she-wolf

    Nox POV She jerked as I lifted her into my arms. I thought she would wake up. But her eyes remained close, and she seemed to press her body closer to mine. My heart thumped fiercely. My insides boiled in a rage and anxiety. I was alarmed by how limp she was and outraged by the mark on that intimate spot at the crook of her neck. She and Liam were in such great terms, huh? They'd made up so hard that she let him mark her? These were very fresh! Not from when they newly got married. The two older males rushed closer. I bared my teeth, snarling to keep them away from her. They skidded back, holding up both hands. Felix began talking rapidly. He motioned down the hall, gasping, "This way. We need Doctor Glass. You need to have them get Doctor Glass!" Soon, we entered the nearest chamber, which was nearly empty except for a large desk and two chairs. "Go get her then," I barked. "The Doctor Glass." The other elder ran straight to the wall phone. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Heart to heart

    Keira POVI dreamed of people screaming and calling out to me, some pack members, yelling curses at me for what had befallen the Spring Moon. Liam, pointing an accusing finger at me while laughing and jeering.'"This is your fault."' His voice echoed all around. '"You put your feelings before your pack, now look what you've done!'''I woke up, opening my eyes only halfway. Then I closed it again as all of the memories of the day flooded back and mingled with memories of the bad dream.I thought it was all a nightmare, but I was wrong. The pack had truly been taken. The Spring Moon had fallen. Liam was right. It was my fault. All of my people were dead and imprisoned because of me.Conan. My Gamma. He was gone because of me.As I recalled his lifeless body at Nox's feet, my eyes began to water. I still didn't open them. A thin line of liquid found their way out, slipping past the closed lids and sliding down the side of my face.My worst fear had come to pass. I had lost everything. In

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The Lycan's neighbor

    Nox POVHow could she lay there and act proud of the mark?I should not have turned back that full moon night. How I hated myself this very minute! I couldn't believe that I let her fierce beauty overpower me like that.I should have gone ahead with plan A. Should've come out of my hiding. We would reject each other, and I would launch my attack as planned. If I'd done that, by now, our bond would be severed, and I wouldn't have to feel this awful, horrific rage and heartache while staring at her.But I hadn't seen the mark, that's why. It hadn't been there. I was sure of this. I would've noticed under the moonlight if she had it. At least, I would've sensed another male's essence all around her. Liam did not mark her until she returned from the woods that night. Maybe right after she realized that I wasn't going to show up, she'd returned to Liam and let him have his way and...This line of thought was very dangerous. It was safer for everyone that I didn't imagine her naked in her

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The Lycan King's messenger

    Nox POVMy mother was from the Northside. A kingdom ruled by lycans but dominated by werewolves as our kind were not as many as them.She and my dad got together during one of the many battles between the two species. They were not fated. According to my mother, it all started as pure, physical attraction. I was the product of a one night stand between my parents. Lycans could not procreate unless with a fated mate, so I was a miracle child.The love blossomed between the two once they learned of my existence. They would have stayed together as mated couples. But at that time, the hatred between both species ran deep. My maternal grandparents forbade their union and threatened to hunt and murder my dad and his entire kin if my mother did not let him go. My mother was imprisoned by her own parents and later forced into marriage to the then Lycan Prince, Cyrus Luther. He eventually fell in love with her.As babies were a rare and precious thing amongst my kind, no one, not my grandpar

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The important one

    Nox POVI did not care how pathetic I sound. She asked a question and deserved an answer. More than that, I had just learned that she and Liam never consummated the mark on her neck. My heart was still racing from the joyous revelation.The mark was beginning to fade after she slept with me only once. That was proof that they never consummated. Right now, I refused to imagine how he branded her and didn't claim her afterward.I glanced at her neck again and decided that it was okay to sound as pathetic as they came."So you brought battle to me and my people because I wouldn't talk to you.""Yeah," I nodded."You killed people, Nox," she said."It was a war. There were casualties. I'm sorry they died. It was them or me.""No, it wasn't!" She rolled her eyes."You're right. But they stood in my way of coming to you. Do you understand what that means, Keira?"I could sense no anger in her. She was amazed. And confused. I sensed another feeling that I didn't dare hope for. Not till I cou

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Alpha's battle win

    Keira POVTina Paulson was an omega and a member of the Spring Moon. She worked as a clerk here at the Pine. Her job was mostly coffee runs and other menial errands around the office. Apparently, she had been promoted to the position of Nox's own secretary. That was not the first change I noticed when I walked into the company moments ago. Everything looked different, especially the faces. Thankfully, there weren't that many humans around. I didn't want to deal with them. Tina had bowed excitedly at the sight of me. It was Pavlov who told her to announce our presence before we went inside. As she knocked and opened the door, another unexpected and highly unpleasant sight awaited me inside. Belle stood beside Nox, who was sitting down and staring right at the door. The two were only an inch from each other, that she might as well be sitting on his lap. And she had one hand on his shoulder. Or the chair? It seemed like her hand was on the back of her neck.My stomach knotted at the

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Business and rival

    Nox POVTheo gave me a look that meant that he could see my anticipation and restlessness. I didn't care that it was showing. I looked around the conference room. Everyone else was focused on the projector.Then I stood up, causing the human to pause his presentation. All eyes turned to me in the conference room."Oh, carry on," I said to the guy. "Mister Crowe is right here. Oh, Miss Faust, you may see me briefly for the rest of the introductions.""Yes, sir," she replied, rising eagerly. I preferred Alpha, but for the sake of the few humans in our midst, the wolves referred to me as sir sometimes. It was hard to get used to it. Why in the hell did that good-for-nothing Liam put humans in management? I shook the thought of him off. He was irrelevant now. Keira and I had bonded. Their marriage was already void as far as I was concerned. Now, all that was left was for her wolf to show up and call me Mate.That would happen soon. Her healing had begun. It could even happen before the

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's visitations

    Keira POV After the meal, Nox had to leave to handle pack and business matters immediately. The doctor stuck around, sharing a few jokes about his Alpha and Autumn Moon. I felt much more clear-headed and less shaken after the meal and chit chat. Then I went to look for Uncle Felix, who was also detained as he was a member of the house and one of the few who had direct access to me.Pavlov was with me all the time. As I made my way to meet my uncle, I decided that the person I really wanted to look in the eye was Liam. The one who was my husband for a whole year. I couldn't believe that he had a hand in poisoning me. But then he had the most to gain from keeping my wolf weak and in hibernation.Uncle Felix was detained in one of the cells on the second floor. Other elders were also held in some of the cells. I had no interest in talking to any of them except my blooded relative.I stopped when I reached the door of the cell. The warrior had already opened the small gate for me to g

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's new friends

    Keira POVAt some point, after all the others had gone, Nox left to go oversee some things. I was happy to be alone in the quietness of my thoughts, but his absence brought an emptiness that made my heart ached.After washing up for the evening, I climbed the bed and sat there, thinking about my whole life until I fell asleep. My dreams were bittersweet, but I lost all memories of them the moment I opened my eyes the next day.I had freshened up and was combing my hair when a gentle knock came on the door. I stood up from the dresser as Nox's voice came through,"Keira, it's me. The doctor is here.""Come in," I replied.The door opened, and he walked in with another werewolf. A tall but lanky male around his age. He had warm brown eyes and a friendly air about him. "This is Doctor Jack Servius," Nox said. The male gave a gentle smile and came forward, holding out his right hand."Hi, Luna," he greeted. "We've actually met, but you were asleep then."I raised a brow, and Nox suppl

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Spring cleaning

    Keira POVAs Nox spoke, a calm assurance settled upon me. I couldn't shake off the feeling. His tone rang with intimacy and tenderness. Last night's incident returned to me in the midst of the turmoil as I watched him. I did not feel weird or ashamed about what we did at all. In this moment, it felt right that he was telling me these things. It felt like he was my male, taking care of me. Of course, these thoughts and feelings may all be Aria's. But it only proved that she felt the bond. She recognized him as Mate. If only she would summon the strength to rise and call out to him."You won't put anything in your mouth. You don't touch anything. Until it's cleared!" He said. "Conan and one of mine are checking your room. They have a poison detector.""Conan? My Gamma?""Yes," he replied gently. "He begged to help."Not long ago, I'd considered that he might be an accomplice. But the news of him helping lift my spirit slightly. "How did you know?" I asked him. "You got here before we

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The Luna's people

    Keira POVTen years ago, I was attacked, and my wolf took ill. My dad didn't stop at torturing all of the warriors on duty that day. One of the warriors went missing before the torturing began. After the heavy interrogation, the other five were demoted to mere guards and not allowed near the main house to date. Two amongst the warriors on duty were still locked up in the dungeon to this day.The culprit was never found. From the chilling news that I had just learned, that evil one was not done with me yet. I sat silently across from the doctors, thinking of all that happened after my accident. The two seemed to be waiting for me to take in the news.My mind continued to shuffle all of the faces I saw often around my house. Then something occurred to me.Rita Glass. My doctor. She was around my age and took over after her father retired four years ago. I'd had my regular checkup with her for the last four years now."How long have you known?" My question was directed at her. Fear

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The hospital visit

    Keira POVI watched Pavlov, checking for any indication that he knew about my attempted treason with Liam. His face remained gentle as he said, "Decide where you'd like to go, and I'll take you there." "I'd like to go to the hospital," I said. "Dandelion. I need to see the doctor." The smile faded from the warrior's face. All expressions vanished. I knew then that I was on track about where to find Liam. He was hospitalized. Of course, he was. "You said I can go anywhere, Pavlov!" I reminded him. "Anywhere but near the former Alpha," he replied. "That's the order.""Uh, I wanna go to the hospital, not to meet him!""He's getting treatment after an... accident last night. Once he's better and they bring him back here, I'll take you to Dandelion." "I'm not going there to see him," I argued. It was partly true. I needed to have Doctor Glass check me out. Surely, she would have something to say about this feeling inside me. The fact that Nox called out my wolf's name yesterday too

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Healing wolf

    Keira POVNox did not stop as Liam's wolf snarled at us. In spite of the situation before me, I could not prevent my feminine core from tightening around his manhood, let alone push him off me. He slammed into me one last time as he breathed,"Exquisite." His eyes were on Liam, who now charged towards us with claws and fangs hanging out.I rose up, struggling to cover myself with the torn pieces of clothes all around me. Nox pulled out of me, then bared his teeth at the approaching angry wolf.Then he half-shifted. At the same time, Liam lunged at him, but he caught the blow, wrapping one strong hand with thick claws around Liam's throat."Monster! Rãpist!" Liam cursed. His voice was hoarsed as he struggled to breathe while bleeding and healing. And bleeding some more."You forced her." He gritted.I should be trying to put an end to the fight, but I couldn't look at the both of them. Not only that, the fight didn't last longer than a moment. Liam dropped to the floor, panting for b
