AlexI knew the moment had arrived. The time to confront my enemy, Zane, was upon me. As I stood in the dimly lit corridor, the walls lined with the opulent yet oppressive decor of the castle, I took a deep breath. My hands moved with practiced precision, checking my rifle one last time. The cold metal felt reassuring under my fingers, a stark contrast to the turmoil churning inside me. Each click and snap as I inspected the weapon seemed to echo Amanda's name in my mind, a constant reminder of why I was here."Amanda, this is for you," I whispered to myself, the words a solemn vow. She had been more than a friend; she was my anchor, my confidante, and Zane had taken her from me. The thought of her lifeless body, the way her bright eyes had dulled in that final moment, fueled my resolve. I couldn't let her death go unavenged. Every step I took towards the throne room was a step closer to justice.The corridor seemed endless, every shadow a potential threat. I could almost hear Amanda'
ZaneThe darkness enveloped me like a thick, suffocating blanket. It was as though I was suspended in a void, an eternal limbo where time ceased to exist. I floated there, weightless, aware only of the strange sensation rippling through my being. My body, or whatever remained of it, felt like it was being meticulously reconstructed, piece by piece. I could feel my skin knitting itself back together, the muscles beneath growing stronger and more defined. It was a bizarre, almost painful process, yet it filled me with a twisted sense of anticipation. I knew what was happening: the demon power that had possessed me was giving me a new body, a vessel forged from the darkest depths of the netherworld.As these changes unfolded, memories flooded back with a searing clarity. The betrayal was the sharpest of all. Amanda, with her honeyed words and false promises, had lured me into a trap. Her pack, loyal to her deceitful cause, had torn me apart without hesitation. I had been naive, foolishly
Amanda.It was all going down tonight, I thought as I walked through the corridors that would take me straight to Zane’s room. My smile was radiant, lighting up my entire face with warmth and joy. My eyes danced with the happiness which was radiating through me, and anyone who saw me in the moment could have sworn that I was flying over the moon. Why wouldn’t I be?After dating Zane for about two years in secrecy, I was about to get revealed to the whole werewolf community as his chosen mate. It wasn’t that I had not wanted the entire people of Blue Heart pack not to know that I was romantically involved with Zane all these while, but I had to exercise patience. After all, he was the heir to the throne. However, all the secrecy would change tonight as he was getting coronated as an Alpha and he would have to choose his mate before one and all. At first, I had worried that about what the pack people would think of me and if I would be accepted as the Luna as I was only but an Omeg
Amanda. “Amanda!” I heard my name being yelled for what should be the twentieth time in an hour. I dropped the broom in my hand and rushed in the direction of the voice. Once I got there, I bowed my head slightly. “You called me?” I asked softly even though I wanted to do anything but that. “Call me Luna, you idiot! And knee in my presence!” Tiana yelled at me. Her leg flew forward and kicked me squarely in the chest. I staggered backward and lost my balance, falling on my ass. The site hurt but I swallowed the whimper that threatened to escape my lung. I knew that if I didn’t, I would be getting another cane lashes like I did yesterday and the day before that. “Lu-na,” I managed to let out. It was at that moment that Alpha Zane walked in. I looked at him for escape, but he looked away, pretending like he didn’t even know of my existence. How had I thought that this man loved me?“Luna,” I said again. This time, with all the bitterness and hatred in my heart showing. After the
Amanda. ‘You are pregnant, Amanda.’No matter how many times I tried to release my mind from those words after hearing them about three days ago, I just couldn’t. Zane had gotten me pregnant, and then went ahead to mate with my twin sister. Who would I tell my plight to?*Tell him.* My wolf, Sapphire, whispered to me. *And then what?* I asked her. *He’ll definitely take us back. He knows that he is the only person you have ever been with. He will know that the pup belongs to him.* Sapphire said. Her words encouraged me. And despite my reluctance of doing anything else but trying to get him to accept me as a second option because I am pregnant, I desperately wanted to try now. *Alright.* I told my wolf and smiled when she squeaked in my head. I felt her pant from that little task and felt sorry for making her bear the weight of carrying an Aloha blooded child. *We’ll be fine.* She said to me, making me realize that she could always hear my thoughts since we were one. For the r
Five years later. Amanda. “Jude! Juliet!” I shouted their names for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. If I hadn’t, they were going to be late for school and I was going to be late for my meeting with the Elders of the pack. “Mommy, it’s Juliet that is making me tie her ribbon for her hair!” Jude yelled back to me. After I ran five years ago after Zane had threatened my life, I had ran and ran until I got exhausted and fainted. By the time I came to again, I found myself in a small pack. It turned out that I had been rescued by an old man who happened to be the Alpha of the pack. The Night Walker Pack. “Alpha Sapphire, it is almost time for the meeting.” My Beta, Bets Alex, said as he walked in. That was right! I was now the Alpha of the pack. It turned out that the Alpha who had rescued me then, Alpha Jackson, didn’t have any biological child of his own. After his mate died barely two years into their marriage, along with the pregnancy she was carrying then, the
Zane. “So? What was her response?” I barked at the guard I had sent to deliver the letter to the Alpha of Night Walker Pack. “I… I didn’t see her personally.” He stammered out. He risked a look at me and relaxed a bit when he couldn’t read my emotion to be that of anger. However, I was still processing his words. The moment I did, my face contoured with anger which I couldn’t hold no matter how hard I tried. “You didn’t what?” I bellowed at the man. Before he could respond, I hitched toward him and gave him a slap across the face. He staggered backward, a wince on his face before he bowed and fell on his knees. “I told you to make sure you deliver the letter to her personally!” I yelled. My patience was already worn out with everything I had to deal with and this stupid guard had only successfully added to it. “Her people refused to let me see her. The only way to make sure she got the letter was to deliver it to her people.” I hissed and slowly advanced to the man. I watched as
Amanda“That’s right, Zane, I see the look of fear in your eyes. I see the look of surprise, and doubt in your eyes. Yes, it is me, Amand.” I laughed.I was in the company of my entourage and seeing them, all standing behind me left Zane speechless. For several minutes, he could hardly utter any word which was exactly what I was gunning for. This, the element of surprise that had worked so well in my favor. I wished I could picture this moment for a long time but I knew I needed to get on with the next stage of this as to the reason why he wanted me here.“I can’t believe this,” he muttered.“Well, you better believe it.” I snapped.My entourage brought out the makeshift chair they carry all about as they propped it up, leading me toward it to sit down. All this was done in front of Zane, and I could see how shocked he was with every minute that passed.“It can’t be,” he muttered.“What can’t be?” I asked, taking my seat on the chair.He staggered back, as recognition finally dawned i
