Gabriella’s POV I kissed her forehead tenderly, whispering, "We're home now, and there'll be no more witch tricks to worry about. I know you must be curious about my family, but that's a story for when things settle down. Just know that you won't meet them, except for Tracy. She's the only one who truly treated me like family, despite the past misunderstandings with your father. She'll understand. I plan to visit my sister soon, but for now, we need to get settled." Leaving my room, I headed to the lobby that led to Nicklaus's room. As I approached, I saw Nicklaus talking with Mateo, both looking troubled. It seemed the meeting had taken a toll on Nicklaus, and my heart sank, feeling useless as an omega. I turned back to my room, my emotions overwhelming me and tears starting to flow. I hastily wiped them away as the door opened, mustering a smile. "Hey, love. You weren't waiting long, were you?" "No, not at all. How did it go? Want to share?" I asked, feigning ignorance of Nicklau
Nicklaus' POV I noticed my love had returned to our room, so I decided to find a way to slip away from everyone and join her there. The shower was running, and unsurprisingly, she didn't notice me entering. I stepped into the bathroom, admiring her back for a few moments before pulling her close. I whispered in her ear, telling her how beautiful she looked, and deep down, I felt immense gratitude for having her in my life. We were sharing an intimate moment and were about to take things further when Mateo barged in, abruptly interrupting us. My frustration flared; he chose this exact moment, when my connection with my mate was growing more intense, to intrude. I was aroused, and his intrusion only added to my irritation. Despite my reluctance, I knew I couldn't ignore the urgent meeting any longer. I was certain it was more than it seemed, likely related to the rat Mateo had caught. I left, promising my mate that I would return to continue what we had started. She looked breathtakin
Gabriella's POVI felt a gentle kiss on my forehead, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Nicklaus holding breakfast. "Good morning, darling," he greeted me.I smiled and closed my eyes again, savoring the moment. He kissed me again, and I wished he would just keep kissing me without stopping."Good morning, dear," I replied finally, taking my seat and resting against the bed's headboard. I let out a loud yawn."You could probably swallow the entire pack with just that mouth of yours," he joked, and I chuckled while accepting the breakfast he offered."Thanks for this.""The best fashion designer in our pack will come to see you today, so don't miss me too much.""I won't even miss you," I retorted playfully, though it wasn't entirely true."I know you'll miss me anyway. I'll see you tonight." He kissed my cheek once more and left the room.Ever since preparations for the Luna ceremony began, I've been meeting various types of ladies. I never knew my mate was once a flirt, but I'm gl
Gabriella's POVLUNA CELEBRATION RITESThe ceremony was set to take place in the woods, while the final party, to crown it all, would be held in the hall at Nick's home.I dressed in a red gown, with my hair pulled up, and adorned a rare necklace of the Blood Moon Pack. I was told that the Luna is permitted to wear it as a symbol of authority. My daughter wasn't present; she was with her peers in the living room watching children's movies.Alpha Nicklaus was also dressed in red. Now, I understand why the Blood Moon Pack favors this color so much.I walked slowly toward where Nick was standing, facing the eldest member who held onto a rope, waiting for us to come together and recite our vows.Seeing Nick there made me smile; today is the day I've been eagerly anticipating.We were asked to kneel down together, and we obeyed without hesitation."Oh, powerful Moon Goddess, tonight we stand before you under the full moon, seeking your blessing upon the union between Alpha Nicklaus and his
Gabriella’s POVI woke up the following morning, feeling a slight shift within myself, as if my entire being was connected to just one person—Nicklaus. I stretched my hands out to touch him, but the bed was empty. The room was devoid of his presence. Where had he gone so early? Could it be a pack-related matter? I had assumed we would have more time together, like a honeymoon after our marriage. It seemed that wasn't going to be the case.I gingerly touched the place on my body where he had bitten me last night. The pain had subsided; it was now just a mate mark. I hurried to the mirror to check if any visible mark remained. It turned out to be a simple mate mark, not as serious as I had initially thought. However, touching it sent waves of desire through my body, reminding me of last night. I quickly pushed those thoughts away. It was a new day and my official first day as the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. What should I be doing?"Take a walk around," Leah's voice finally broke the si
Nicklaus's POVI felt terrible after marking my mate. The echo of her scream played in my head, making it seem as if I had intentionally hurt her. However, I knew that the pain would fade by the time she woke up the next morning. I looked at her as she slept peacefully, appearing like an angel sent into my life. I kissed her cheek gently and whispered, “Thank you for accepting my mark.”“Finally, we are united with her. I hope for a miracle to occur so that when she shifts, I can meet her wolf. Then, both of you will permit us to run together in the woods,” Lethal added, her excitement palpable. I smiled at her enthusiasm.Lethal had been yearning for a chance to run with Gabby's wolf for a while now. Unfortunately, Gabby couldn't shift, though if she truly was the Moon Goddess's Luna, she should have been able to by now.As usual, Mateo communicated with me through the mind link. “Alpha, we're prepared to leave.”“Good. I'll be out shortly,” I replied before ending the mental connect
Gabriella’s POV“To hell with your food. Let me tell you all something now. It's better you let me go while you still can because when Alpha Nicklaus gets here, you won't live another day to tell the story,” I warned, confident that Nicklaus would find us and come to our rescue.“You dare threaten us? Who do you think you are?”“I'm not threatening you. I'm simply giving you a warning to save yourself while you can. When he arrives, heads will roll,” I said, locking eyes with him fiercely.“You're quite audacious, Omega. Sorry to break your heart, but your Alpha won't be coming here to save you today. We distracted him. Who knows, by now, he might have realized he was tricked. He'll be angry with himself for being a fool and letting us get the better of him.”“What did you do to him? Tell me, you bastard,” I yelled at him, tears streaming down my face.“It's about time for my surprise. The wolf bane mixed with silver will be aimed directly at his heart. It'll be his goodbye. And as fo
Nicklaus POVWhat should I do? If the bullet hits me, I might not survive this. I shut my eyes, thoughts of Gabriella and Estella flooding my mind. Will I die without being able to protect them? Moon goddess, please save me. There are things I must do to make things right. Gabby and my daughter need me, and the entire pack relies on my leadership. Amidst the chaos, I heard a loud gunshot, but when I opened my eyes, I was unharmed. Looking around, I saw a large figure falling to his death, his dark eyes still gleaming.“What's going on here?”“It's been a while, Alpha. I suppose I arrived just in time,” Jessica remarked.“Jessica, you're here? How did you know I was here and in danger?”“It's one of the mysteries of being a witch, but a simple 'thank you' will suffice. If I had been a minute later, you'd be dead by now.”“Thank you,” I expressed my gratitude, and she smiled, asking, “Where's Mateo?”“He's covering the other side.”“Alright, let's find him and see what we can discover.
FinaleGabriella’s POVI still haven’t had peace of mind to date, I barely sleep and always wondering about it.“Hey love, you are here, guess you can’t wait for our wedding that is happening soon,” Nate said holding me and kissing me.“Sure, I am so happy about it.”“You look so pale, why don’t you go to bed and sleep, I don’t want you to be stressed in any way.” He advised and I nodded and headed to the room after wishing him good night. I have been trying to see my father but he keeps telling me my father promised to come soon and I don’t know if he is lying or not.I stayed in the room and I had no idea he followed me, “What is troubling your mind?” He asked.“Nothing at all.”“I know there is something going and too bad you don’t wish to share it with me but anyway, I will always be here for you.““Thank you so much.”I felt a strange cold and suddenly felt dizzy and I said to Nate, “I need to sleep now, good night.”“Good night my love.” He kissed me and I laid on the bed prope
Semi FinaleNicklaus POV*Witches Tribe*We arrived at the witches' tribe close to evening time and Margaret was shocked to see us, “Look who we have here.”“Grandma, I miss you.“ Estella said running to hug her and she carried her saying,” Wow, you have grown so big, come on in everyone.” She said with a smile and we all followed her inside.“Back home again.” Jessica added and we all took our time to settle in fully and we ate cookies together.“If I may ask why is Gabriella not with you? And is the news true? I heard she is getting married to The Black Moon Pack Alpha, how is that possible?”“That’s why we are here to seek your help, Gabby is fighting us and the painful part is that she doesn’t even recognize us.”“What? That can’t be, she is the Moon Goddess, she needs to be in the right place, was she involved In an accident or what?”“She left home with someone that looks exactly like Jessica, we thought it was her, a lot has happened and we are doomed, can you help us?” I asked
Nicklaus POV“Gabriella! Gabriella, are you there?” I called my wife's name and I didn’t get any response from her at all, I had to rush outside still looking for her but she wasn’t there.Where on earth is she? I saw a lady wearing a red dress and went after her and called her Gabriella, She never for once turned around to look at me.“Please wait for me, you are too fast.” I said trying to catch up with her and before I knew it, I lost her already and I got angry,” Are you going to leave me all alone? What about our daughter? Please return to us.” I said begging her and still got no response from her as well.I noticed the whole place was shaking and I found my place in another dimension, where am I? What is this place? Why is it so quiet?“Klaus, I am waiting for you.” I heard Gabby's voice and rushed to go after her.“Where are you? Just describe the place you are and I will surely look for you, trust me.” I said and all she kept saying was Klaus, I will be waiting for you. I mana
Gabriella’s POVWe returned to the Black Moon Pack and my father welcomed us with a party saying, “We finally conquered the enemy.”“Yes, and it’s all thanks to the great Luna,” Nate said with a wink and I smiled at him.The party was going on and everyone was really happy except for me. I kept my promise but why am I not happy? Why don’t I feel fulfilled about it as well? There is something wrong with what I have done. Who was the man really? Did I kill the wrong man? Why did that little girl call me mother? I lost my child or could it be that my sister had a child for him and he is mistaking me for her?No, I shouldn’t be thinking about all these, I shouldn’t at all, Nate told me he would want to mess with my head with so many lies and this is part of it, I will not fall a victim.I will find a reason to be happy about the whole thing.I saw Silvia sneaking out and I called her, “Hey Silvia.” She stopped immediately and let out a smile.“Luna Gabby, I thought you would be inside en
Gabriella’s POV I entered the car with Nate, and his beta entered the second car but I noticed Silva wasn’t with us so I was forced to ask about her, “Where is the witch girl?”“She is at home.” He replied to me.“Isn’t she coming with us? I believe a witch should be needed as well.” I said not knowing why I said that and he held my hands saying, “Do you know you also have witch spells?”“Do I?” I got confused and he smiled.“Yes you do, I shouldn’t be saying it now but since you are yet to get back your memory I will just open up other stuff you are yet to remember.”“Please do, tell me, I can’t believe I know spells, please I want to know everything,” I said out of curiosity.“Well when you lost your baby, you went to the witches' tribe to cool down and when you learned some spells, you felt you had gotten something new and you returned back, I won’t blame you if you don’t remember any of it.”I can’t believe everything he just told me, so I really have the power to do spells.“And
Nate’s POV I stood in the war room and talked with my Beta, “David, how is everything going right now?”“Everything is going as planned alpha, we are all waiting for your orders.”“Good, have you captured the other weak packs yet?”“Yes, we have and we kept them all locked up as well.”“What about Tracy? Is she doing fine at the underground prison?”“Yes she is but she refused the food we served her.”“I see she wants to starve to death but I don’t care just make sure she doesn’t escape okay, now leave and attend to other matters, I will call you when I need you,” I said to him and he took his leave immediately.I gave an order for the weapon to be covered with harmful poison made by Silvia.“Alpha Nate, The Luna father wishes to see you before he leaves.”“Okay, invite him in here.”“Yes, Alpha.”I guess the meeting with his daughter that he forgot about went pretty well and I have him beneath my claws again.“Thank you, Nate, you made things easy for me.” He said.“You don’t need t
Nate’s POV“That’s because I don’t want to rush you at all, remember I told you I would be revealing everything to you gradually so I won’t get your brain stressed.”“Okay thank you for being considerate.” She stood up and I wondered if she was angry and planned to retreat. “Are you going inside?”“Yes I am, I have had enough talk already of things that are already complicated to me.” She said getting pissed about it, I had to hug her saying,” I promise to always love and care for you, I am sorry for telling you about this memory now but I felt like it will do more good than harm.” I tried to turn everything around so she could pity me and that I was just doing her more good than harm.“I understand you are doing all these for my good and I am pleased with it, okay I am not leaving you, I will sit and continue having a great time with you here.” She smiled.“Thank you so much, my love.”Silvia came in and whispered to me about the presence of Gabby’s father and immediately Gabby que
Nate’s POVWhen I stepped out, I began to laugh but got interrupted by one of my pack warriors and he said, “The Luna Father is here to see you.”It’s about time, he came himself, he thinks he is so smart but I am going to use him to my advantage and make sure I win at the end of the day. I know he must have heard from someone that his daughter is now a crescent goddess and also she has met her wolf. A greedy father he is, he doesn’t even care about his own child instead he only cares and is seeking more power just to rule, and he is going to lose everything. I gave a wicked smile.“Where is he?”“At your office.”“Good,” I said walking directly to my office to meet up with him and I saw him seated already.“Good to see you again.” I let out a smile.“Is it true you have my both daughters?”“That’s not true, I don’t have your daughters, Tracy left here long ago, I thought she wanted to go home to see you.” I lied and played so innocent.“She never came to the pack, are you sure about
Gabriella’s POVI stopped kissing him and apologized, “I am sorry.”“My love you don’t need to say sorry, we are lovers and kissing each other happens to be a normal thing as well.” He said to me and I smiled at him saying, “Thank you so much then.”“You are always welcome and if you want me just say the words to me, I will be ready to make you feel good as usual.” He played with me and kissed my neck making me laugh out loud.“You are so good to me, thank you, I know you have been patient for a while please can you exercise more patiently till I finally get ready?” I replied to him and here I was thinking he was going to refuse me but he didn’t instead he said, “We are going to get married next month and waiting is something I am good at, just tell me when you are ready and apart from that, I missed you so much." He hugged me caressing my body and I suddenly developed a craving for sex, no I needed to hold myself, I couldn’t engage with lovemaking now I have no memories of us doing
