Evelyn. The news I was waiting for finally came. However, it wasn’t the one I expected to hear. As days went by and I didn’t hear any response from my mate, I kept my hope alive, telling myself that the mission was just taking him a while to accomplish and maybe he was just in a real tight situation where he couldn’t pick his calls or turn on his phone to check on me. But then, I got slapped in the face by this kind of news?Or did I hear him wrongly?“De-dead?” I stammered out, my hands held against the basket I had forgotten I was holding. Finally, the basket slipped from my hand and my eyes began to turn me. “Yes, Luna. I am so so–“ the soldier said. His eyes held the sadness that was laced in his voice. I didn’t bother to hear the rest of the words. I couldn’t even listen if I planned to. The ground under my feet gave way and I found myself plummeting to the floor, my eyes closed and my senses lost. The last thing I noticed before I finally fainted was that one of the men sur
Evelyn. Boom!The loud bang of something exploding made me jump to my feet from where I was trying to rest in the mansion. I rushed over the stairs, straight downstairs and straight to where the tents were erected. I knew without being told that we were about to face another random attack if we were not already facing it. “What’s going on?!” I yelled the moment I got to the tents. I saw people panicking but still managing to act composed. Each tents had two people standing close, ready to close the tent’s zipper if they needed to stay hidden from the destruction. “Another random attack!” Grace answered, standing beside me. She cracked her neck ahead, trying to see if she would see the incoming war. “Get in the tent!” I yelled at her. She didn’t however moved. I ignored her and also strained my neck to see if I could notice the war. “Luna, are you okay?” I looked to my side and saw the Beta standing there, looking at me and the tents to be sure everyone was okay. “Why are the at
Evelyn. “Thought I would never see you again,” I said without beating around the bush with her. “But I see that you are still trying your very best to act like my replacement by forcing yourself around here.” I looked at her from head to toes in a disdaining way. If she wasn’t aware that I was not in my sweetest mood to listen to her nonsense, then she thought wrong. If she had any brain left in her head, she would have realized that I was back in the moon goddess forsaken pack, not out of joy, but because I needed to settle a grievance. But since she was too dumb to realize that, I wouldn’t mind showing it to her. Her countenance changed the moment she heard me utter those words to her. I hissed back at her, daring her to try anything funny around me. She eyed me from head to toes as well, probably trying to think of an adequate comeback for my words on her. “What are you doing here?” She hissed out in anger, obviously not being able to find something workable to say back regardi
Evelyn. “Why would you even think that I would merge my pack with yours in the first place? After I know who you are and how evil you are?” I hissed at him. The man must have lost his mind. At least, now it was clear that the hunch the Beta and I had was not just an hunch anymore. It was the truth. He was the one who was truly responsible for all the attacks against the pack. There was no reason to doubt anymore. “You just said it now. It is your pack.” He answered. He looked at me like I was a fool for not even getting the point of his words and knowing about what he was saying.“Point of correction, Cyrus. It is my mate and I’s pack. And that is why I get to refer to it as mine because whatever belongs to my mate belongs to me. Not everyone will be like you where you are not proud of the woman you made your Luna," I scoffed at him. If he thought that everyone was like him, then he thought wrong. There were men out there who valued their mates enough to have them know that everyt
Gaius. “No!” I screamed, flaring my hands in the air. My eyes flung open as pain hit me from the action I tried to perform. My hands hurt and my throat burned. I sighed as I swallowed my own saliva hard to keep the patch in my throat away. I grunted as I tried to raise my right hand again but had to quickly drop it down because of how hurt it felt to do even such a simple thing. As I closed my eyes again to get myself back from the haze that filled me, the memory of the car crash came fully. *I was driving, trying to escape from the men that were set behind me to kill me. While I was speeding away, I heard the loud honk of a car behind me. I turned at that moment, trying to see if it was the same people I was running from that managed to gain up to me. I didn’t realize that there was another car coming from one of the sides of the road I was driving on. While I was so focused on the car behind me, the one at the side hit me so hard that my car somersaulted immediately I turned a
Evelyn. Something was eating me up. Something I tried my best to stop. Something I tried my best to ignore. Heck, I had done everything possible to keep it out of my mind, to the point where I worked myself to the point where I didn’t have any seconds to spare to think about it. But even at that, I just couldn’t. No matter how busy I was, no matter how hard I tried not to think about it, my mind would not stop going back to it even in the midst of the chaos. It was desperation. And it chased at me as if it was the very essence of my being. Like I couldn’t survive another second without it. And I was not being desperate just for myself or the situation at the pack. I was not even desperate for the threat that the goddamn person of Alpha Cyrus had made. I was desperate because I needed to know what exactly was going on. I needed to know what happened to my mate. Growing restless after leaving Alpha Cyrus’s pack and having no other news apart from the one the soldier came back with a
Gaius. The moment I opened my eyes, I got up from the bed and stretched at length, noting that the pain I felt was almost not there. If I hadn’t been observant and trying to feel for any, I would not have noticed it at all. Just as the woman who took care of me had predicted, I was now all better after a week of full rest and taking different herbs to surge up my recovery. “You are indeed better now.” She noted as she came to my side. She gave me a smile as she handed me the bowl I was now all too familiar with, including the content it carried. “Thank you,” I said, collecting the bowl from her. Without wasting any more time, I titled the bowl to my lips and gulped down the herbal drink that was in it. I squeezed my face a bit as the butter content filled my throat. It was what I had to endure for a week and I was just still yet to get used to it. “You are very much better now, so I don’t think there is any reason for you to remain here.” The woman said as she collected the bowl
Gaius. The soldiers were ready in recorded time. I stood on the podium, looking at each of them to make the announcement to them so that they would realize just how important this was to me. “We are going to Alpha Trey’s pack right now, and our motive while we are there is to get the Luna out one way or the other. If he is not going to release her the peaceful way, then we grab her the forceful way. I don’t care how many lives will get lost from their pack as long as I come back home with my mate. Is that clear?!” Sounded to all of them. “Yes, Alpha!”“Good. Let’s move out!” I commanded. Together with the soldiers, along with the Gamma, we left the pack. I left Zack behind so that he would be in charge of the pack just in case of any foul play from either of the two Alphas. As we walked to the pack, I couldn’t help but pray to the moon goddess to help me keep my mate alive. Just until I was able to find her. After that, I knew I could protect her myself and get her out of whatev
