Nora POV My eyes glanced around the big mansion, holding tightly to my backpack. My mother's reluctant face and my father's grim look made my heart falter for a moment. I owe my new existence to these people. Although they were my biological parents, they meant more to me.They were my shield and light. The ones who made me discover the powerful Nora. Today was the day I was leaving my kingdom for my former pack. It wasn't easy convincing the elders of my decision but with my father's firm authority, I was given until the month of the Lycan Full Moon Festival.Still with the grim expression, my father walked up to me.“ You could have taken Karen with you. I will only feel better if he-”" Father, you have to trust me. I am no longer that weak girl. I am your daughter, the powerful Nora without a wolf.” We have been arguing since last night for me to go alone but my father wasn't convinced. He still believes I might be bullied by those people again.With a sigh, my father insisted."
Nora POV“ Nora-" His voice was laced with hidden excitement.Before I could say anything, I found myself in his embrace. I remained stiff and confused at his attitude. I thought he hated me and wanted me dead?“ Get the hell off me!" I screamed, pushing him away.I watched as he staggered backwards, his legs faltering close to the huge oak tree a huge distance away from me. I gasped in disbelief at the strength I just used. I thought the potion would have wean off the Lycan strength.As he staggered backwards, there was hesitation as his eyes roamed all over my body. He seemed to have a complicated look on his face, as if he was sensing something more. I squinted, my mind taking a drastic decision. I can't let him know I was powerful but then the potion was supposed to have worn down the Lycan aura around me! What exactly was happening? That old man told me it wouldn't take up to five minutes before the effects started kicking in.“ Tricky old man!" I sighed inwardly.I hope Carlos
NORA POVAs I giggled under the protective embrace of Justin, I heard my mother's loud howl echoing through the morning air. It carried all her hidden excitement and praise to the Moon goddess for soaring me.In less than a minute or so, several howling followed in unison in acknowledgement. I smiled, feeling the warmth of my mother again.“ Come, let's go inside before we go to see the Alpha," my father beckoned, eager to hold me in his arms.At the mention of the Alpha, I knew he was talking about Carlos. “ I met him already."“ Huh? So soon?" My father asked, surprised.“ Seeing Justin here means he knows. No wonder he was quick to come here," my mother pointed out.My father nodded, then moved closer to me. He pushed Justin aside, lifting me up before placing me on his shoulders. I giggled as we all got into the house.I was back to the only family I had known all my life. As we sat down, my parents exchange a glance, and then my father begins to speak. "Nora, we want to know wh
Nora's Pov " Father, please-”" I knew there was something more to what happened that night. Tell me everything, Nora. And I promise to help you.”My heart swelled with emotions, making my tears fall freely. I narrated everything that happened to me that night six months ago. As the story poured out of me, my father's emotions riled up a hundred fold. His eyes turned darker and I could hear his wolf howling in anger." Father, please. I want to do it my own way. Can you keep it from mom and Justin until I am through with my plans?” I pleaded, trying to steer my father's anger away." He dared to plot against my daughter?" His anger swept around the whole study and my body stood on edge.How could I forget my father was also a beta? His aura was powerful.“ Dad, please. I want to do it my way.,” I pleaded, hoping he would understand.He was quiet for a while before sighing deeply. You have my support, Nora. We will face it together."I felt a wave of gratitude toward my father, but a
Nora POV As I turned around to see who just spoke, I sensed her presence. The words mixed with undeniable grudges and the ferocious aura filling the entire place. Aria Davies. His chosen mate. She is the daughter of Elder Davies and she was my sworn rival who also had a crush on Carlos. I found out from my father that he accepted her after the coronation. Aria was the perfect choice for a strong Luna. She was a fierce warrior who could protect alongside her mate. She was the one he had replaced me with. I could feel her eyes on me, burning with anger and jealousy.Aria had made my life a living hell alongside her minions when she found out I was without a wolf. She was always envious that Carlos gave me attention way back. I kept my head down, trying to avoid her gaze. But I could sense her approaching me. Her steps were light, but her presence was heavy with tension.“ Isn't this the pathetic wannabe Luna?" She sneered, her eyes were an embodiment of envy. I wondered why she was
Nora POV“ I am still waiting, Nora."With a jerk, the familiar voice woke me up from my deep slumber. I cursed under my breath as I seemed to be running late. I had fallen asleep after I finished dinner. “ It had better be a good reason or I promise to kill you!" I swore, getting ready to sneak out. I brought out another potion that Elder Silvarum had given me and poured it all over my body.He called it an invisibility potion.I snuck out so I could get to the border before midnight. My mind was filled with different reasons why Karen would come to the border. Was something wrong over there?At exactly five minutes later, I saw a shadow perfectly hidden in the dark. If I hadn't trained under his supervision, it would have been impossible to spot him out. Except I was an Alpha or high ranking Lycan.“ Karen-"“ Shush!" He whispered, staring around the vicinity. After he was sure I wasn't followed or being watched, he beckoned to me.“ Can't it wait?" I asked as soon as we got to a s
CARLOS POVAfter I left her in the hallway, I took Aria with me. I wanted Nora to feel hurt, seeing me with another woman but that damn woman didn't bulge. Infact, she looked mockingly at me with Aria.I growled, pushing Aria away as soon as we got out of Nora's sight. I still can't believe I was trying to make my ex-mate jealous. I was supposed to fucking move on.“ Carl, why are you so mean to me?" Aria asked, her eyes suddenly becoming glassy.“ And what exactly do you mean?" I flared, casting her a stern look." It's her, right? She is your mate…" Aria said bitterly, her lips tightly clasped in anger.“ Aria!!" I growled, hiding the obvious truth. Was it that obvious that Nora was my mate?“ Stop shoving me off with your threats, Carl. I know everything. You obviously rejected her and she committed-"“ If you don't shut the hell up, I won't mind separating your body from that foul mouth of yours!" This time, I held her throat tightly as she struggled.My eyes bore through her stub
Carlos POV I was still fuming with anger as I walked through the dense forest.“ I see no reason why you are still so angry, Carlos." That was Kyle, his words making the anger escalate. "Are you kidding me, Kyle? What was she thinking, coming out here alone at night? Doesn't she have any idea how dangerous it is? Rogues lurking around every corner, just waiting to pounce... and she just waltzed in here without fear?” I blurted out, angry at no one in particular.She is damn too careless, so reckless... It's like she wants to get herself killed!“ You hated her, right? Aren't you being hypocritical?" Kyle continues questioning me."I-I never said I hated her. Besides, I just can't stand by and watch her getting killed? Let her stay safe, but no, she just keeps putting herself in harm's way... it's like she is trying to punish me or something!”Kyle let out a scoff." Punish you? You are just something else, Carlos. Stick to the perfect mate you want and leave Nora alone.”And then he
