UNKNOWN POV my heart was gripped by fear as Darkness drew near, the cricket sound of the bird and the humming sound of the forest animals made me tremble in fear, I clenched my hand on the hem of my cloth as the pain of the sharp stone which penetrate my skin hit me. My bottom lip wobbled, and I kept my eyes on the spot where the injury was. "How am I going to get this thing out now," I muttered in pain, as tears dripped down my eyes uncontrollably. The teeth seethed together in pain as I forcefully pulled out the stone. I shook off the pain I was feeling and continued on my journey. Darkness finally set in and my journey out of the forest became more challenging and dangerous. the light from Dark Moon Park shone dimly into the forest and I felt a spark of relief wash through my body. "I must accomplish my mission," I said weakly but with so much determination and tears welled up in my eyes as I crawled out of the forest with so much pain........
DEREK POV I opened my eyes gently, it was morning already the reflection of the sun shone dimly into my room, I stood up from the bed and opened the curtain. "Today must be a good day just like other days," I muttered to myself, I was so happy about the achievement I had been making in Dwane's house these past few days though I hadn't been able to carry out any of my plans but at least I was gaining their trust gradually. If not because of that stupid Beta, things would have been easier but all the same, I wasn't really shaken by Aren, if he continued to be a pain in the ass I would just have to eliminate him away from the picture. I hummed my favorite song as I headed to the bathroom, I stared at my reflection for some time in my bathroom window, and my lips curved into a wicked smile, I had gotten so fond of the body I was in though sometimes I miss my witchy self but, being in a this body wasn't that bad at all. "You wouldn't know what hit you, Dwane," I said and
MELINA’S POV Things hadn't been going well these past few days, ever since Dwane got ambushed during the hunting game, we have all been in fear and at alert, the guard that shot Dwane was pardoned after we found out that it wasn't his doing, he was possessed though he was stripped of his position and was banished out of the park for shooting at the alpha. The fear of somebody out there trying to eliminate my family weighed heavily in my heart, what was more scary was we didn't know who it was and when next the person would attack. I hate the fact that I couldn't do anything to help out. Dwane tries not to let the whole issue bother him whenever I'm around him, he masks up his worried face with a fake smile. I looked at Dwane as he slept peacefully, and my eyes wandered to his injured arm, I touched it gently while being careful so I wouldn't wake him. He made a muffled sound and adjusted. I knew how much he needed the sleep since he hadn't slept peacefully since the day of the
DWANE’S POV Melina stayed right beside our baby, crying silently as she touched his hands gently. her body drenched with both sweat and tears, her eyes were all puffy and red. I moved closer to her and placed my hands on her shoulder as I rubbed gently on it."Babe, he is going to be fine, stop crying, you might end up falling sick as well," I said with a cracked voice."And how is that a big deal Dwane! I don't cry if I break down or my health fails I just want my baby back to the playful and cheerful kid, I hate seeing him looking this weak," she said painfully as fresh tears fell from her eyes."He wouldn't also want that for you, we need to be strong for our baby, Melina! Please stop crying I know it breaks your heart to see him laying there without a smile on his face, I'm feeling the same thing but I just want to be strong for him please do the same for him,""I'm feeling his pain, Dwane, I can feel a bit what he's going through, Dwane! And it is not easy the pain is just too
MELINA’S POV. I didn't know if the years were still there, I think they already dried from their source. I've cried and cried but cannot bring my baby back, I want to die so bad, my son that I almost died while giving birth to him. After Dwane, he was the bundle of happiness that the moon goddess decided to bless me with but my baby just died on me. Why did it have to be me? Have I offended the moon goddess in a way? Of all the things rhatbsus could take from me she decided to take my son? I did not know how to feel again, it was so painful to the extent that I've been starving myself for the past few days and Dwane is definitely not okay with that, he has been staying by my side all through and I did not like the way he reacted to my son’s death. He's being so nonchalant about it and I don't like it, he has just being beside me all through consoling me, he looked sad when it happened but after them he had just been there no reaction. I was presently looking at him now and I wante
DWANE’S POV.I did not like how Melina had been for the past few days, she had been down about the death of our son and the problem was that I could not loose her. She did not get that, she just felt that I was being nonchalant and I loved my son so much and his death hurt me but at the same time, I could not loose Melina cause I would go crazy. I was still very sane right now but the mere sight of her not eating is driving me crazy, imagine if something happened to her. I didn't know why she was not getting the fact that she must be okay, she had to be okay for me to function properly. I had to function properly for the pack too. Because if anything happened to her it would affect me. So she had to understand that. Her maid came here some minutes ago that she finallybate a Apple. It was not enough but at least I was happy that she ate something cause if she had not eaten anything my plan was to go to her and be dramatic. And I knew that she did not like drama so she would be force
MELINA’S POV I hated myself for not being able to block Dwane from controlling me, I tried frowning at him but couldn't since I was being controlled by him.The forced smile on my lips was making my cheeks pain, we entered the meeting hall and I lost interest in going further, I had a son to mourn but here I was being controlled by Dwabe's power to attend a stupid meeting.We settled down and I was still wearing a fake smile, my cheeks and chin. I mind linking Dwane and trying to get him to stop controlling me. he looked at me with a smirk, shaking his head in a negative way before facing what he was doing.The meeting was boring to me as I had no intention of being there in the first place. I looked at Dwane again but he was less concerned about whatever I had to say, his smile spread brightly and his laughter was so loud it was like he was having so much fun, sometimes I wonder if the death of our son ever hurt him because he doesn't behave like he is hurt.Tears rolled down my eye
UNKNOWN’S POV "Brrrrrrg, brrrrrrrg,brrrrrg" the alarm in the maid's apartment rang waking me up from my sleep. I used my hands to cover my face as the brightness of the sun hit me on the face after so much struggle I stood up from the bed, relay it, and headed straight to the bathroom. The cold water hit my skin gently as I thought of a way to carry out my plans without being suspected. I rearranged myself and did a little touch up on my face before heading out, the whole place was busy as maids moved up and down the hallway doing one thing or the other."what is happening," I murmured to myself looking puzzled at the whole movement, the maids' quarter was always busy but not this busy it was as if they were preparing for a big feast. I walked down to the kitchen since that was where I was assigned. bouncing my legs on the floor playfully when I met one of my maid friends I talked to on the way she was in a rush to answer an errand. I dragged her back she was going to flar
As Emma was escorted away in custody, her threats echoed back at Dwayne and Melina as stood together.Emma screamed in defiance "You'll pay for this! Both of you!"The officer that was escorting her away replied her sternly "Save your threats for the wolf court council"Melina, holding the baby close "She won't harm us anymore"As Emma was escorted away a sense of relief washed over them, knowing that a major part of their problem had been solved. The authorities assured them that justice would be served.As Melina and Dwayne apprached the mansion Anna came running towards them closely followed by ArenAnna with deep concern all over her face " Melina, you can't just disappear like that. We were all worried about you and the baby."" I'm sorry, Anna. It all happened so fast, and the safety of my child was at stake"Aren chipped "They're back home now Anna, and everyone is safe.i think that's what's important"She took the baby from Anna and with a very inquisitive tone asked "who was
Emma's bitterness spilled forth as she recounted the path that had led her to that vengeful moment."I was meant to be the Luna, destined to stand by Dwayne's side. I devised a plan to frame you for betraying him, but even then, he forgave you. It was infuriating. My rightful place was snatched away by your mere presence.""All this time, you've been plotting against me for something as trivial as being with Dwayne?"Emma's eyes glinted with resentment. "Trivial? It was everything to me! I couldn't let a blind girl be preferred over me, the rightful Luna. I thought blinding you would make you insignificant, but you still found a way to worm your way into his heart."Melina's mind raced, "And now you're using my son to get back at me? What do you gain from all this cruelty?"Emma leaned forward, a venomous smile on her lips. "I gain satisfaction, revenge, and the position I rightfully deserve""Dwayne married me, and nothing you do will change that. You can't erase the bond we share, n
After the banquet Melina and Dwayne bade some of the guests goodnight and soon they were on their way home.Dwayne took a look at her and found her fully staring at him with those sexy eyes " You know if you keep staring at me that way I doubt if I would be able to concentrate on driving" he said with sincerity" Alright then " muttered Melina before leaning her head backwards to the headrest.They got home and Pulling up in front of the house they noticed it looked a bit too quiet Dwayne turned almost whispering to Melina "did you tell the servants to leave a window open or something?Melina replied anxiously "No, everything was locked up when we left. What could have happened?""Let's check on the baby first."She nodded softly "Something's not right."He slowly opened the door, revealing a room that should have been filled with the warmth of their child. Instead, they were met with a scene that shattered their peace – the nanny lifeless on the floor, and the baby's crib empty.Me
Dwayne held open the car door for Melina as she entered the car before going to the other side of the car and getting in himself , the driver turned on the ignition and soon they were their way to the banquet hall.Dwayne held out his arm to Melina as they stepped out of the car in front of the banquet hall, Melina leisurely placed her arm in his giving him a look that screamed the words " I trust you " and with that both of them walked towards the gigantic doors of the hall , by the door were a couple of guards who bowed to them as they walked through the doors.Melina turned to Dwayne almost whispering "I still feel uneasy about the idea of being bowed to"Dwayne replied her in the same manner "You'd better start getting used to it as you'll be getting a lot of bows from now"Both of them couldn't help giggling at their childishness but the lovely moment was soon interrupted by a masculine voice that erupted behind them."Who else if not the latest couple in town " said Aren with a
It was almost time for the banquet so Melina took a dip in the tub which was full of herbs that helped rejuvenate the skin , after taking her bath she could feel her skin was smoother and a lot softer , she went to her dressing table and applied some essential oils and scented oils all over her body, by the time she was done the sweet scents filled the room.She proceeded to wear the dress she had picked , thinking the event was going to be a simple one like the wedding ceremony Melina picked out a knee length blue halter neck dress . Just as she was about to slip into the dress she heard a knock on her door The voice said from behind the door "My lady , may I come in?"Melina quickly put her robe back on before answering "come in"The door opened and Nina who was a servant in the mansion came in holding a rather big box."Alpha Dwayne asked me to bring this to you my lady " she said while placing the box down on the bed."Thank you , where is he ?" Asked Melina Nina answered court
Dwayne and Melina got married almost immediately after the official announcement. it was a simple wedding ceremony with just a few representative of each clan in attendance . The sacred ceremony was held at the temple of the moon goddess and officiated by the shaman.The duo knelt before the statute of the moon goddess while the shaman performed the rites , he handed them two cups with drinks in it " you may now say your vows " he said motioning to Dwayne to take his vows first " I Dwayne Alpha of the dark Moon pack hereby take Melina as my Luna and vow to protect her with my life , holding her hands through thick and thin , never to be apart from her in life and in death " said Dwayne as he smiled at Melina."I Melina of the crescent pack hereby take Alpha Dwayne as my husband and vow to stay by his side through thick and thin protecting him with my life, never to be apart from him in Life and in death " said Melina with a huge smile on her face. The shamman nodded "You will take
As they all walked out of the hospital after Melina got discharged Dwayne said gently "Melina, I insist you stay at my place for a while. I've a nurse to take care of you and the baby. It's important to me that you both have the best care possible"Melina smiled broadly "Dwayne, you've already done so much for me. Are you sure about this?"Dwayne nodded "Absolutely sure. It's not just about what I've done; it's about what we can do together for your well-being and the baby's. I want to make sure everything is perfect."Melina felt touched"That means a lot to me, Dwayne. Thank you."Anna chipped "Melina, I'll help you pack your things. We'll make sure you have everything you need at Dwayne's place."Melina gave her a warm smile "Anna, you're a lifesaver. I wouldn't know where to start without your help""It's the least I can do.

Anna got to the vending machine and saw a boy of about ten years kneeling on his hands and knees franctically trying to reach something under the bench that was right beside the machine, he heard her footsteps and he gave me a rather big smile as she approached the machine." Good day miss " he said he said looked up at me while still on his hands and knees." Good day to you ..." She said stuttering a bit , the boy looked rather unkept but his outstanding feature was his bright smile." Jay, my name is Jay" he said" Ooohk Jay that's a lovely name " she said then I noticed a candy bar on the bench He said pleadingly ."Can you please help me get my coin , it fell under the bench and I can't reach it " Anna crouched to the ground trying to figure where the coin was but it was so far she had to get down on all fours to be able to reach it, she pulled out the coin and handed it to him ."Thank you miss, now I can buy a candy for Browny too " said Jay happily as he inserted the coin int
The room fell silent for a moment with the weight of what the doctor said fully sinking in. Dwayne turned to the doctor "What's her blood type?""It's O negative, a rare type indeed"Anna, her voice tinged with concern, looked at Dwayne "Do you know anyone with that blood type?"Dwayne nodded."I'm O negative as well"The doctor swiftly suggested the compatibility test, and the tension in the room became heightened as they awaited the results.After a while the doctor returned with the results "Dwayne, your blood type matches Melina's. You can donate"Dwayne sighed with a bit of relief "Let's do it doctor"Anna glanced at Dwayne, silently grateful for what he had just done"After what felt like eternity the heavy doors of the ER swung open again and the doctor came out smiling "The surgery went well. We successfully delivered a healthy baby boy"Dwayne's eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of relief and overwhelming joy as he couldn't believe his ears "A boy? Is Melina okay?"The doc
