Nox POV

"I'm not pregnant, Nox."

Those words felt like a soothing glass of cool water, cascading down my hot chest. It cooled the heat that rose inside me moments ago when her husband spoke the lie.

"He said you're pregnant," I argued. Perhaps I needed to be sure.

What would I do if she was indeed pregnant? I had no idea. It would compound an already deeply complicated situation.

"Don't you see why he would tell that lie?" She asked with a frown.

I actually did. Alpha Liam didn't want someone like me to learn of any weakness in the pack.

"What happened to you?"

Rather than an answer to my question, she asked, "What do you want from us?"

"I want nothing from him." I replied, bobbing my head in her husband's direction.

That was necessary lie. I wanted something from Liam Rudd. I wanted his wife.

As her fierce amber eyes fixed on mine stubbornly, I decided that I would have what I want. This female was rightfully mine, wasn't she?

"You don't want anything from him, huh? Can

    Keira POVWhile laying on the hospital bed, I decided on one thing. To never return to the same bedroom I shared with my husband. So I sent Yara ahead to quickly move my things to the other master's chamber. Conan would help her be discreet so that other staff did not see and spread rumors. He and Uncle Felix were silent when we walked out of the hospital. The latter was brooding. I tried not to pay attention as he turned back around to go meet Nox. He either wanted to ask what we discussed or he was about to play the jealous husband. I didn't care, so I didn't mind him.If uncle noticed, he didn't show it. I was grateful for the silence because I didn't want to talk to either of them. The fact that he, my uncle, knew about Liam's infidelity and didn't say a word was something I couldn't forgive quickly. I was no longer sure if he was on my side. And that was worse than the actual crime for me.We reached home soon. The moment we entered the pack, I missed the woods on such a beauti

    To my horror, I couldn't answer Mrs. Hill's question right away. Instead, my mouth hung open as Liam's words echoed in my head. '''She was showing me something on her laptop when you walked in.'''The older female went on,"Hard to believe you saw it, Luna. He respects you too much, you know that."Another male spoke,"Allow me to add, my Luna, that you have a duty to the Spring Moon. And that duty comes before your feelings, dear! What would Alpha Nox do if he hears that there's trouble with the First Family? We may be one of the four major packs, but we are not above invasion and conquest, Luna. I'm sure you know what I mean!"Yeah, I knew what he meant. I was female and basically without a wolf. I was more or less a figurehead leader. The blood of my father was the one thing keeping me here."I don't have to stay married!" I insisted."Oh, yes, you do, dear Keira." The chief rose and the rest of them with him except for my uncle. "Unfortunately, you do have to stay married. Especia

    Keira POVI didn't save Nox's number the last time we talked. But as I stared at my screen, I knew he was the one calling me. Liam strained his neck to see my phone screen, asking,"Who's that?" I held the phone away, and, ignoring the question, I proceeded towards my newly furnished bedchamber. 'Ignore this call, Keira,' I pleaded silently with myself. Yet I was almost running in order to make it into the room before the ringing stopped. Once I was far from Liam and all other ears, I stared at the screen while recalling my meeting with the elders moments ago.Their words with Liam and my uncle's echoed in my head. How I needed someone to talk to. Not necessarily about my messy life though. Merely to talk with someone so I would feel less lonely. I slid the answer button before shutting the door and resting my back on it."Hey, Keira," came the sultry baritone of Nox's voice.I breathed in gently before replying,"Hello, Alpha Nox.""How are you?" His tone was so gentle. The que

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Lycan's anxious mate

    Nox POVKeira stared at me with something resembling horror. Like it was utterly disgusting for someone like her to be fated to me, a lycan. The look caused a pang in my chest. Of course, the idea of being mated to my kind would horrify her. I knew and expected this reaction, so why did I feel annoyed and offended? Not only that, there was another deeply unpleasant feeling in my chest that I couldn't describe. "If we're mated, I... I would know!" She argued lamely. "No matter what you are, I would feel it too. What sort of game is this?"No matter what I was? She didn't consider me flesh and blood like her, did she?"You don't feel it because of what's wrong with you," I told her calmly. She moved away from me. I stifled the urge to reinforce our proximity by moving closer."You think you know me?" "Not really, not yet, but I know I'm right," I replied, hating both our tone. Moments ago, we'd been almost friendly. I detested the fact that she was withdrawing from me yet again."T

My insides tingled with a mix of different emotions, owing to the bomb Nox had just dropped.He turned back to glance at me before exiting the hallway with Conan. I was going to look away, but what was the point? He already caught me. Uncle began speaking, but I cut him off,"Uncle Felix, I'm a little busy.""I can see that," he replied. I went back into my study. He followed me. His manner had grown from patient to urgent now."Morris was here moments ago. Why did you call him?" he asked."You know why!"Then he switched to mindlink, 'Yes, I know, but I meant you should've been discreet. Why did you get him to come see you with everyone watching? In broad daylight for that matter.'He shut the door and waited near it."Listen, uncle. I don't want you to waste your breath. You want me to listen to the elders

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Fantasy vs truth

    Keira POVNox was the notoriously cruel Lycan of the East. I should be keeping all of my problems a secret from him. If I had an enemy on this side of the world, it would be him. All other threats were far outside the borders of this vast region. '''I wish you'd stop thinking I'm out to get you, Keira.''' He'd said these words to me before his brief visit.I should take heed of them, especially because of everything going on. I should give him the benefit of the doubt and reach out for his help. At this thought, I stood up, grabbed my jacket, and headed out with one destination in mind.Once I entered the forest, I sensed Conan with other warriors lurking about. They were on their usual morning patrol. He saw and rushed to meet me."Luna, where are you off to?""Just out for some fresh air," I said without stopping.He followed a few feet behind, sticking between trees. I didn't protest because it would be a waste of energy. As my first Gamma, he stuck with me within the woods at all

    Keira POVNox's Beta shook hands with Elder Ron as the latter smiled. Excitement shone in his eyes while they moved from the Beta to the lycan Alpha. Mrs Faust and the female elder spoke softly, nodding in agreement. Something was very wrong with this picture. Why would Zoey Faust and two elders of Spring Moon pack visit the Lycan Alpha of the Autumn Moon? They could only have come here to discuss one thing. And that is to get rid of their weak Luna. As I watched, the three members of my pack nodded cordially to Nox and his Beta. Then they went their way. Nox began to head back inside but stopped. He must've sensed someone watching. His gaze moved to where I stood. I ducked behind a thick shrub, holding my breath and trying my best to shield myself mentally. Thankfully, his guests did not use the woods to return to the pack. They headed towards the main road. A car was likely waiting for them.My heart felt like it was being stabbed with sharp needles. I turned away and began to

    Keira POVAn unpleasant heat surrounded Liam as he marched into my study. He was seething with anger. Holding out the papers in his hand, he asked, "What the fück is this?" We both knew what it was. Morris delivered the divorce papers to him like an hour ago. His reaction was a little confusing now because he already knew this was coming. He was there when I first gave Morris the instruction, wasn't he?"I'm busy, Liam," I said with a sigh. "I asked you a question!" "You know what it is. Just sign it so I can get things moving, okay." I had an equally big problem waiting for my attention. I got back to scrolling on my contact list when, without another word, he lifted the papers. With a dramatic show, he tore it in two, then four, and so forth, until the pieces scattered all over the floor. Then he called out, "Yara!" My maid replied from outside the hall, "Yes, Alpha." When she entered, he said with his eyes on me, "Clean this up." Yara quickly went away to get the broom a

  • 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

    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

    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   After dark

    Nox POVMy 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 sunset

    Apparently, Liam felt so much larger than life now. He failed to realize that I could make him suffer immensely in that nine hours when the full moon would be visible in the sky. This was proof that he thought me completely useless and weak. And totally at his mercy.After breakfast, I got my cellphone and turned it on, expecting to see missed calls from Alpha Nox. There was none. I guessed he got my message last time. He truly was keeping his distance until we met tonight. That was a good thing.However, I couldn't stop checking my cellphone and willing him to call. I wanted him to confirm our meeting, which was set for after dark. No call came. Male werewolves went crazy in the full moon. I had never seen a Lycan in the full moon, but I'd heard stories. They were ten times worse, according to the rumors. The day he'd dropped the bomb that we were fated, when I asked us to meet on the full moon, it was because a part of me believed him. Not only that. I wanted it to be true, too.

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Before sunset

    Keira POVIn the last two days, I had very little sleep because of Liam. It took hours, but he'd eventually discovered my hiding place the day after. Once he did, he'd banged on the door almost all night.While he was busy with that, I got a hold of Conan using the intercom in the chamber where I locked myself up. I had him sneak into my study to get the spare copies of my divorce papers and Liam's reassignment at the Pine. Conan had held on to it and waited till the coast was clear. As soon as Liam grew bored of sticking near the guest chamber, he'd brought the files to me. It was a few minutes before dawn. I was starting to nod off when his gentle knock, followed by a whisper, woke me up and slipped the papers into the room. Now, it was the morning of the full moon. I was positively sick of being confined to this room. But it was either this or get raped by the soon-to-be ex.I sat on the bed with copies of the documents that Conan had dropped off discreetly. I let the images from

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The sullen wolf

    Keira POVI had faith in my t-shirt and jeggings and believed they shield me from Liam's overly invasive touch. Ripping them off me would not be too easy if he tried. Thankfully, he didn't join me on the bed. At least, not immediately. I had laid down when he pulled a stool close and deposited himself in front of me. He took a long swig from his bottle of scotch while his eyes stayed fixed on me.Moments went by in silence while he watched me with a look that made him unrecognizable to me. It occurred to me that he'd barely felt recognizable since the day I walked in on him and Belle at the Pine. Then he finally spoke,"Elder Hill was right, you know. I have needs that you can't meet, Kiki. I need your wolf awake when I fück you! But you've never let me have that. Our wolves have never done what couples should do. I'd like to know why? How's that fair to me?" '''False peace false peace false peace.''' I kept singing these words in my head to avoid barking out what I truly wished

    Keira POVLiam shut the door and rolled the luggage to the side. He watched me with half lidded eyes as his chest rose and fell. I wondered if he was on some kind of drugs. He seemed like a madman. I unintentionally sniffed and caught the faint smell of alcohol in the air. "What did the old male say to you?" "He wants us to make peace," I replied. "Fighting isn't good for... me. That's what he said." "He's a wise old wolf, Kiki," he approached in casual strides. "You should listen to him."I nodded and quickly turned around to head to the bathroom. "I need to wash up and change," I announced quickly.The thought of what he could do to me in this bedchamber was horrifying.The words, '''Make false peace,''' kept ringing in my head.Uncle and Conan were right, though. I needed to stall Liam's madness. To trick him somehow. But how did I trick him into keeping his hands off me?I regretted coming here to meet him this night. I should not have. What I should have done was avoid him un

    "Babe, are you deaf?" Liam breathed against my ear. "I said I'm done with being patient! You're back in your room. Where you belong. We're back to living as male and WIFE. Now, you and I will do what couples do. We START MAKING BABIES NOW. Like we should!"He rubbed himself against me to emphasize his words.Fear, revulsion and horror nearly overcame as his hardness pressed against me. In our human forms, he was so much stronger than me. He could overpower me and take what he wanted. And I couldn't shift. Not for another two nights.A hesitant knock sounded, saving me from what he was about to do. "Alpha, I...i brought the Luna's things," Yara called softly.He twisted around to look at the door. I gave him a hard shove and got free but felt too weak from all the emotions. When I tried to rise up from the bed, I stumbled and fell back.Meanwhile, Liam stood up and stomped to the door to open it."Go get the rest of her things!" He barked at Yara.
