NALANI"So... this guy you say who know you, but you don't have the slightest hint of who he is, is Alpha's cousin?" Siena asked after I told my situation and what I found out about Alpha's cousin. She was currently stacking flowers in a bouquet wrapper resting on a red ribbon. She glances at me.I nodded and she added, "And Alpha Liam ordered you to leave the packhouse right away because his cousin can't see you?" I nodded again. She squinted her eyes at me and asked for the last, "Do you know what this means?"Yeah, I have a hint but no words came out of my mouth and I only did shaking my head causing her to flick my forehead. I halted yelping rubbing my skin she'd flicked. I yelled, "What's wrong with you?"She huffed and dropped a flower stem on the table and turned to face me, crossing her arms across her chest. "Listen carefully, okay?"I frowned at her but I still wanted to hear what she had to say despite the realization that came up in my mind. "You said that man was Alpha Li
NALANI"He's Alpha Liam's cousin and he's the guy you say you don't remember?" I nodded and Madame Hale went on still exclaiming, "Why don't I know him? Mostly Alpha's cousins, I really know them. Well only two boys and a girl but—" His thoughts snapped his words and looked at me. "Wait a minute!" Fear and worry flashed in his eyes as he held his mouth.Siena also peered into his face, waiting for what he would say about whatever realization that was. My heart beat faster with the doubt that, his realization might not be good for me. After his dumbfounded moment, he shook his head with a wave of his hand over his face as if to swipe away what he was thinking.But he quickly grabbed my arm as well as Siena's. He cocked his head inside the flower shop and said, "Let's go inside. I realized something, but of course I need your opinion, thoughts, realization or whatever..." We move inside the shop. My curiosity is killing me while watching his reaction. Before he started his words, he l
ROSSDarth really hates flowers. It had a strong effect on him, and out of all the wolves, he was the only one with this kind of issue. That's why, I left the flowershop earlier even though I wanted to talk to Nalani. Honestly, I don't even know what topic I should open up, and maybe it's good that it happened for me to better prepare for the next chance.'Or you better meet her in another place next time,' Darth suggested in my thoughts. That was my plan but to the fact that I can still see the fear in her eyes, I don't know how to approach. 'Ask her when she comes here later in the packhouse.'I glanced at the wall of the room, and I just realized that it was almost noon, which meant that Nalani would be coming to cook food for Liam. I was jealous but the idea that I would see her again watered my soul—a bit. 'What if you wait for her arrival? Then don't frown, smile at her.'My brows creased at Darth's suggestion. 'How do I do that?'Because we went through the same thing, he heave
NALANIIf there's one thing I don't want to feel at all, it's fear. It weakens my system. The bones in my knees softened and almost all my muscles trembled. I know, he left, I'm just not sure if he followed Travis. But his name, my dream, his weird approaches, the information I got from Madame Hale and my dream are all connected.I also puzzled over Travis saying he was a monster. Well, I just confirmed earlier that he's the reason why Travis got mad, that's according to Alpha Liam using the word 'for sure' and 'again'. From him, I found out that they don't get along and the word that Travis said seems like he knows what kind of man his cousin is. I'm still shaking like a leaf, I can't remember my past but I had a strong hunch, what I had gone through was terrible and it seemed true that Alpha's cousin, Ross, was the one behind it. Earlier, while Travis was bursting out of anger, I saw him coming down the stairs, acting like nothing happened. I have no idea what they were fighting ab
NALANIThe flowershop closed early because Madame Hale had an emergency. Actually, this business of his is quite large but in the flowershop where we are, was his office. The main building of Hale Flowershop is actually right across from the mall. His regular employees were there. Here at our place, Siena is the only regular and I am the only part time worker. His early closing was in Siena's favor and now we were given a chance to hang around the park. I was watching at the children playing in the playground while listening to their laughter and giggles. I'm curious if they are all Werewolves, but mostly here in the Undergrove are shape-shifters. There are very few humans here and almost all of us have jobs. As they say, only brave humans can interact with them. I agree with that, since it wasn't really easy to interact with them at first.But my brows creased thinking how did I start staying here. I think I can recall that but wait. I know I graduated as a dietitian, but who suppo
ROSSI pressed my knee to Travis' belly causing him to grunt in pain. I grabbed both his arms and pinned them to the ground. He gasped and looked at Nalani who was running away from us. I also looked her while hissing. I saw the fear on her face especially when Travis yelled, "I said run! He's going to kill you! Don't look back—"Snapping his words, I hit him in the face with my claws causing him to scream in pain. My four nails drew on his cheek and crossed his noseline. I whispered in a hiss, "What the hell are you doing?"But he grunted, sneering at me and yelled in my face feigning protective of Nalani, "You can't have her! You have to kill me first before you have her!"I don't know what game he wants to play, but after he told Nalani that, she turned and ran away. I know that by this time, it was already imprinted in her mind that I was a terrible man, monster like Travis said. This was his way of making sure that Nalani would stay away from me. Fury washes all over me, my blood
SIENA"So you called now because you thought I was pregnant?!" I exclaimed on the phone after hearing Alex's reason for calling. "Are you out of your mind? How could you expect me to be pregnant?""It's been a month, Siena. After what happened to us, and I made sure of that. I think I'm not infertile, am I?"I burst out laughing and yelled, "How can I get pregnant if we both have vulva?!"She was silent on the other line, feigning to realize the truth and time over like me, she also burst out laughing and said, "Why did you remind me? What kind of ex are you slapping me with the fact that I don't have a dick? Can't you let me dream for a moment that I can create a child in your womb?"I was holding my belly to ease my laughter and manage to calm down for the serious question, "And why did you call?"Again, she was silent on the other line and I heard her sigh. "Of course, I missed you." I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I was currently leaning against the head board of my bed and facing a
NALANI I think, I already have trauma from what happened and I seem to be pulling Siena too with the fear I feel. We both jolted when someone knocked on the door and yelled, "Don't hide her Siena! Let her out!"It wasn't Ross or Travis' voice but what the man said sounded like he was talking about me. I panicked looking at Siena. At first, I saw the fear on her face but it gradually changed to irritation and she spoke to me, "Wait, stay here, I think he knocked by mistake.""Siena! Do you think, you can hide her? I saw her come in here! Don't you dare to hide her if you don't want to get into our trouble!"Confusion enveloped me despite the fear I was feeling. Siena stood up and stormed to the door. I don't know what trip she was on but she just stood in front of the door and let the man knock and knock. She clenched her fist for a moment before she said, "I'll open the door but promise me. You won't point a gun at us!"Gun? What is happening here at her place? Why does this seem wor
NALANI 2 years later."Happy birthday, Ace!!"Applause broke out all around. If the field we're on now used to be the execution of the four guilty parties could be watched in the entire pack. Now, I can see the decorations, for my son Ace's birthday celebration.We were all smiles especially Ross... who would have thought it would come back to him?Despite what we lost, we still managed to be happy again. Now I believe that nothing is impossible. Starting with what was happening, I was led to the point where I lost my memory, Ross lost the will to live... but despite that, I'm thankful because that's how I met Siena who is now behind my son holding his hand to guide him in cheering.Madame Hale now has a camera in hand, and is currently photographing the events. Savrina, holding a bowl and spoon to serve kids the cake.In front of Ace was the son of Esther and Travis, Yvo. Ace was just a little ahead of him. And the little boy Killian is the son of Liam and Lily. He can't walk stra
NALANI While I was hugging Art, Ross was holding him by the neck. Ross tears falling, while holding back a sneeze.The situation is very emotional, Art crying as well while Ross says, "You killed my Mom, you killed Regina."No one seemed to care that they all trusted Ross despite the anger he was showing.Now Art's tears are falling. He slowly raised his hand, whispering while staring at Ross, "I'm sorry..."My tears kept falling. Ross I know he's trying to forgive him, he looked at me crying, he removed his hand from Art's neck indicating that he needs to let go of the grudge and forgive because I'm his mate and I'm pregnant.I know what he meant why he did that. He held the back of my head despite me hugging Art, he pressed his lips on my forehead enough to make Art understand the forgiveness he gave.Now, Art kissed Ross's head. That situation is that there is no heart within this place that does not feel emotion. Art whispered, "Thank you."Because of that I hugged them both. Ver
NALANI I rushed upstairs to where the throne was. I released fire out of anger—I could no longer control it.What she did to my family was too much. I can't forgive her that just because of power, she destroyed us.I saw her sitting on the throne acting brave despite the burning smell all around. Using telekenises, I lifted her from his seat.She was struggling but she chose to let out a devilish laugh.That irritated me. My anger became more powerful because Ava's anger went along with it, more aggressive and more dangerous."When you hurt me, your brother will be doomed too, Nalani!" Again, she laughed as if despite her situation she is still a winner.From surface I let go of her, she fell to the floor causing her to groan. I hissed, "Where's my brother?"But she answered me with a silly laugh, creepy, horrible, but I was not affected. I'm stronger than her now, more powerful, the creepiness she shows doesn't bother me.She sat up, in a modest way, as if she was just getting out o
NALANI I hate myself for being stupid. I knew I was incapable of resisting the spell from that Dollera but I still couldn't help but consider myself stupid.I hurt Ross, I broke the pack, I put Bob on danger but my family, still accepted me, the pack members expected me despite what I did. They begged me to accept my role as Luna, asking for forgiveness that I should have asked it of them.'I can't blame you.' After five years of not feeling Ava now she is here. One of the best things that happened to us was that we were together again.Luckily, she fought, moreover, she was not easy to beat because she had me as her strength and healer. She never died, she stayed with me even though I didn't remember anything. She just couldn't get close to the present because she was blocked according to my request.I still remembered what I said to Elphaba then, 'I can't hurt him, I can't kill him but if he stays alive what he did will torment me emotionally forever. I want to forget Elphaba, I wa
ROSSThis is surprising. Darth, my wolf used to be Alex's grandfather? And my grandfather is his wolf now?"Your grandfathers died before you were born, that's why this happened," Elphaba spoke staring at Alex who now had his mouth slightly open. "If you for example leave this world, in the next generation of your bloodline, you will become their wolf." She looked at me and looked back at Alex. "Each of you should be an Alpha. But the Bloodline you have always has a conflict. One is a good leader and the other is cruel."I gulped down, Elphaba went on, "Darth ruled as good, Diego his beta betrayed him." That caused Alex to scoff, proving him right. "He was accused of a sin that caused him to be kicked out of the pack." Then Alex glared at me. "Under Diego's rule, his mate gave birth to Delbert. Delbert was raised by Diego in the belief that omegas should only be omegas. But Delbert's mother secretly trained him in a good way."Now I straightened up proudly. Elphaba continued, "Delbert
NALANI I do not know what to do. I feel like the whole world is fooling me. I don't know if I can trust everyone around me. But yeah, this Alex, Liam detected, he's not lying.This means that Ross is not a true Alpha of Dark Furious pack and Alex has a reason for his revenge, but this Dollera...I can't believe that despite what I went through, someone still tormenting me emotionally and also from Ross's bloodline.Now, I don't even understand myself. I just mentally asked where my anger for Ross is. Honestly, I admit, even then it was hard for me to hold a grudge against him. I actually made a promise, that no matter what kind of anger he bestows on me, he's still my mate. Everything just changed when I saw my father died. Now, I think everything will change again. The women behind me, this one holding me, her name is Eve, the other one with ash blonde hair is Esther. I don't know the name of this red headed girl but they have the same face and a woman who looks like Mom... it's loo
ROSSMany wolves are attacking us, willing to protect Nalani. And we, of course, have no intention of harming her, but Nalani, with the power she exudes, I notice her wolves are tireless.Travis attacked, but those he defeated rise again, heals again, while the wolves on my side is struggling.Even Esther, worried about the situation, and suddenly Eve arrived, she used a gift against Nalani. She's hurting her because she uses heat like my mate's. "Nalani! Stop this! I don't want to hurt you, so please, stop!" Eve warned.Esther was gasping, she was holding her throat while Nalani kept screaming making me panicked and yelled, "Eve stop! You're hurting her!" I touched Nalani's reddened face. She's struggling, I can't let her suffer like this. "Stop Eve! She's hurting—my pup is hurting too!"Esther yelled too, "Stop!" It almost reached at the top of her lungs out of anger.Eve stops, Nalani puts on pants, but someone yells, "Nalani!" That's from the enemy side.Because of that, Nalani ag
ROSSDarth growled facing Nalani. He will not hurt her but Nalani is accusing us wrongly. 'Talk to her,' he ordered and pushed me out.She also doesn't let her wolves attack me as if saying she is the only one who should punish me. Many wolves are rushing from my side attacking hers.After I shifted I slowly looked at her, she spread her hands, it smoked, along with the heat I felt in my body.I groaned even Darth had a hard time resisting it. I knelt back on the ground, enduring the heat that engulfed me entirely."There are many witches on your side. Some of them are deceiving me. They face me as if we look alike, actually one imitated Art's face! Making me believe that he is my cousin! Playing my emotion! Telling me that Art is alive!" she yelled out of anger.My body is getting hotter. Sweat is coming out of my forehead. My ears gradually created a sharp sound. My nerves are tensing and my breathing is starting to get short but I can still resist it somehow.I tried to speak, "N-N
ROSS"How's the search, Isagani?" I mentioned the coffee on the table. We are currently on the terrace and I invited him to have coffee for us can properly. I still entrust the search for Art to him.He sat down across the table in front of me, and says, "My apologies, Alpha but..." He shook his head and added, "...negative."I heaved a sigh. I did not expect positively, because it is difficult to find someone without a trace. All that was left of Art was a sack retrieved from the bottom of the sea, then nothing.Shoulder sagging, he sipped coffee. I can see in his face how much he wants to find Art. He looked at me and said, "What if Prince Art is under a spell of Dollera? What I mean is the secret place..." He trailed off as if he didn't know how to explain but I got what he was getting at. "I just thought, Esther has paradise, everything is safe there, what if Dollera also has something like that, not peaceful paradise but..." He shook his head with a shrug. "You know? What if dark
