|| SETH's POV ||As I stood before Sansa's grave, the weight of grief pressed down on me like a heavy stone. It had been months since she passed away, but the pain still felt fresh, raw, as though it had just happened yesterday."Seth." The voice cut through the silence, jolting me out of my reverie. I turned to see Caden, Sansa's father, standing a few feet away, his expression stern."Caden," I replied, my voice hoarse with emotion. "I didn't expect to see you here."Caden's eyes bore into mine, and I could see the anger simmering beneath the surface. "I come here every day, Seth," he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. "To visit my daughter's grave. To remember her. And do you know who I never see here? You."His words hit me like a slap in the face, and I felt a surge of guilt wash over me. He was right – I hadn't been here as often as I should have. I had let my grief consume me, allowing it to drive a wedge between me and those who cared about me."I'm sorry, Caden," I said,
|| SILVIA'S POV ||As I stood in Sansa's room, my heart pounding in my chest, I was suddenly overcome with a sense of dread. How had I ended up here? And why did everything feel so wrong?Before I could fully process my surroundings, the door swung open with a force that made me jump. Seth stood in the doorway, his expression twisted with anger. "Silvia, what the hell are you doing here?" he spat, his voice dripping with fury.I took a step back, my hands trembling at my sides. "I... I was just..." I stuttered, searching for an explanation that would satisfy his rage. But before I could find the words, he cut me off."You had no right to come in here," he continued, his voice rising with each word. "This room is off-limits to everyone except those who knew Sansa. And you, Silvia, are not one of them."I felt a surge of guilt wash over me, knowing that he was right. I had no business being in this room, no right to intrude upon the memories of someone I barely knew. But before I could
|| SILVIA's POV || I stopped visiting the pack house since the day Alpha Seth showed me my place. For a second, I thought of myself as a part of this pack. I was wrong since I would never be accepted by them as a human. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I finished my fruit juice. The sound of the door opening snapped my attention back. A small part of my heart hoped to see Alpha Seth. It was shattered when I saw an unfamiliar face. With short black hair with baggy jeans, a girl around my age entered my room. Her eyes lit up as she spotted me, " You..are..the baby's mama, right?" I didn't know how to react since I still couldn't believe the fact that I was pregnant. Sometimes it scared the shit out of me. I replied awkwardly, getting up slowly, " Yeah....I mean.." She cut me off with a shrill cry, almost jumped on me as she kept asking, " I knew it! You are so damn beautiful. Your baby will be beautiful too. How far are you? Is the baby moving yet?" I almost choked on my saliva a
His question made Everett's blood all freeze in her body. She recalled how Ryan was punished for giving her a hand. She didn't want Arietta to go through the same suffering. Everett lied, her heart pounding wildly against her ribcages, " Me.. medicine... Treatment..." Fredrick narrowed his gaze on her answer. He was no fool to know that simple ointment did work on her quickly especially since she was a human. To her surprise, he ran his hands over her scarred back. Everett's body stiffened in unknown fear until she heard his rough and angry voice, " A wolf helped you! Who is he?" Everett's eyes turned big wide in shock. She didn't think that Fredrick would catch her so easily. As a new person among Lycans, she didn't know that the Lycans had possessed some great powers. One of them was to detect another wolf or Lycan by their power smelling sense. Everett stumbled on her words, trying to sound convincing, " No one... really... It's just an ointment..I...I..aah.." All of a sudden,
" YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING, DIEGO!!"It was my wolf who made the piercing comment, not addressing Diego as her Alpha anymore. I could only whimper inside to see my wolf, rising in defense. I wasn't an object to sell off. It was my life and I had the final choice to make one.Diego shot me a death glare, his canines popping out in rage. His wolf hated the fact that I called him by his name. His male ego was hurt but it didn't get hurt when he was talking about offering myself to the cruel, heartless, dragon king.Diego snarled, his deathly eyes laying on me," SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I made the choice! I am your Alpha and your mate. You will do what I tell you."I felt thousands of daggers, cutting my heart into pieces. Diego never cared about me but never in my imagination, I thought that someday he would make me bait to save the whole pack.King Gideon's eyes finally locked with mine. Even though he didn't say anything, I could feel a dark gleam, lurking behind his eyes. His gaze was too u
|| SILVIA's POV ||" He has started a war...for you ...."Alessio whispered into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the mess in the room. Seth had butchered a few of the werewolves, roaring like a lion. He seemed like he had lost his consciousness.I swallowed the fear in my heart. I didn't know why Alessio believed that I could calm the mad Alpha. I observed Seth for a while. His eyes were glowing like the sunlight, a burning anger riding through his veins. My heart flew out of my chest in fear. I turned to Alessio, already giving up on the decision," I can't... Perhaps I will die but I can't do this shit."I tried to walk away from there but Alessio gripped me back in my position. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading and begging so brokenly," Please...He won't hurt you. You are carrying his child. Your child can calm him down. He has already done enough harm. Don't let him do it again."I couldn't ignore the plea in his voice. Letting out a sigh, I looked back int
|| SETH'S POV ||" You called for me?"Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me," Yes, come inside."Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously," Anything important?"I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction," You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw," Means? As your mistress or girlfriend or what, Alpha?"My jaw clenched tight at her question. It annoyed me since my
|| SILVIA's POV ||I waited for his answer anxiously. Even though the reality was in front of me, I held onto that one percent hope. The media was crazy about taking pictures.His delay in response was bringing more intensity to the situation. Seth was silent for a good while until he wrapped his hand tight around my waist. He muttered weakly, shocking the reporters," She is my official Luna. No more questions!"He started dragging me forward carefully. I kept hearing the questions, thrown by the reporters," Is she your mate, Alpha? You haven't cleared the question. ALPHA!! ALPHA!!"Seth didn't answer any more of their questions. Although he didn't make it clear, I felt happy that he didn't call me 'his mistress'. All eyes were on me as soon as we appeared at the banquet. A woman in a Barbie gown came over to us with a big smile," Oh, Alpha Seth! What a pleasure! I thought that you would be missing the Alpha's birthday."Seth greeted her politely, bending his head down slightly," P
" You are hurt! Why aren't you healing yet?" Oksana remarked as she looked down at my fresh wounds. I had noticed as well that my wounds weren't getting any better. But the wounds in my heart were much bigger than this. Words of that old woman still haunted my heart.Was I not the legitimate king?I was grateful that Oksana still paid attention to me. The rest of the pack was busy taking care of the members who had been hurt. Vittoria replied, looking between me and Oksana," He..he is hurt by any person with magic. Magical wounds don't heal so fast, Luna."Oksana's face crumpled in concern. She muttered, appearing uneasy," All...all of them??"I hummed, touching the bandage in my hand," Yes! We couldn't stop the impact. Just one spell shook us all."Oksana looked worried, her eyes melting in fear. Vittoria suggested, gaining Oksana's attention," We should..check others as well, Luna. Some of the werewolves didn't have any family."Oksana nodded in return and left me alone in the
walked straight to the border of the south. The attackers were supposed to be here. If it was one of our allies, we could join together. But if it was our enemy, we had to go through a second battle.My steps froze before reaching the border. I spotted the black familiar clothed people, that strong familiar scent. I didn't need to check who they were. My expression turned stormy as I walked to them furiously, meeting my people in the front." Boss!!"Remo stuttered, appearing uneasy. He looked like he wanted to say something but I cut him off with a growl," YOU ARE HERE!! BY WHOSE ORDER? MY FATHER?? YOU ARE STANDING IN MY WAY, REMO AND I WON'T CONSIDER ANY MERCY."Remo apologized, his face sinking," Pardon me, Boss, but..we are indebted to the king. It's his order to attack the Dark Moon Pack."I growled, stomped forward," I TOLD HIM!! All I wanted was to win Alpha Kendrick's trust. Since he is stubborn about his decision, I will need to fight you here. I CAN'T BE DEFEATED HERE! "
" We are here, Alpha. What's the way that you want to use to break into their land? I suggested the best part! "Although the plan was ready, Alpha Kendrick had the final say. He snatched the map from my hand and replied coldly," The north and south border is open. Why should we take the West? They have guards over there."I reasoned, remembering the background of the dark moon pack, " They have magic on their side, Alpha. I don't think that we should go through the West. What if it's a trap? That's why I suggested the West."Alpha Kendrick growled at me, his behavior with me getting colder these days," Nonsense! To cast magic, someone should be present there. If there is no one at the border, who would cast a spell on us? We are heading through the north and that's the final."I wanted to say something more but I saw him, already moving with the troops. I understood the fact that Alpha Kendrick was doubting my judgment. I stopped explaining myself and followed him closely. All I w
Trust?? Once it was gone, it could never be back.I told myself several times that everything was going to be alright. But after everything was falling apart in front of my eyes, I realized how wrong I was. Oksana kept her distance from me. After days, she didn't meet me. Even though the final preparation for our attack on the Dark Moon Pack was here, she didn't come to wish me. We were all in the yards, waiting for Alpha Kendrick to come out and join us for the mission. It was surprising that my father didn't push me anymore. I thought that he would be insisting on winning the Dark Moon Pack. At least, he didn't tell me yet and I expected nothing from him." Beta! We are all ready!", the young warrior, Ethan told me after checking on his group. They were too young to join the mission but to be honest, they were the strongest group that I had ever trained. Ethan's group was loyal to me more than their Alphas. I had trained them like my own babies and taught them everything. I believe
" What are you.. Dimitri..." Oksana pushed me away, standing up in a shot without putting her clothes back. I still didn't realize my mistake until the long canines poked my lips. I snapped it off before standing up as well. My lycan was getting out of control. I didn't fully transfer myself to Lycan form for a long while. My lycan side was thrashing to come outside. We were especially obsessed with our mates. Hence it wanted to claim Oksana badly.Oksana stood with a panicked expression. The distrust in her eyes was killing me. I cursed myself under my breath. I should have paid more attention to myself. Oksana spoke again, putting back her clothes," I want to know!!"I muttered, staring at her numbly," What??"She blurted through her gritted teeth, frustration flaring in her eyes," The truth!! You aren't a WEREWOLF. How did you get here? Why didn't anyone stop you? Above all, how did you shift yourself into an average wolf? I WANT THIS ANSWER, DIMITRI."A sharp feeling stabbed i
I wanted to know what Kendrick was going to do with Vittoria's arrival. Dimitri had already explained everything. After Vittoria showed up in front of Kendrick, he didn't look good. Kendrick was seated in his seat as we arrived together. Kendrick asked curiously, eyeing Vittoria from head to toe," Is it true that you can see the future? If you are that powerful, why did your pack kick you out?"Vittoria's shoulders stiffened when Kendrick mentioned her pack. I guessed that she wasn't comfortable sharing her relationship with the pack. One of the main reasons was that she didn't trust us yet or it was her dark spot. Vittoria replied firmly, her eyes dropping down,"I decided to leave the pack, Alpha. I was assaulted by the Alpha. I had to leave to save my life."I felt sorry for her. Raemon was already clinging to her. They said that children were another form of god. They could tell who loved them genuinely. I felt as though Raemon had already started to like Vittoria. We never had
" Who is she? She smells different!" I stopped exercising in my new office. There wasn't anything special about my office. It was only a small desk with an old shelf next to the desk. Since I had stopped going to the training center, I was focusing on learning all by myself. Even Dimitri couldn't help me here since our close contact could raise questions in Kendrick's mind.Dimitri entered with an unknown girl with him. She looked pale and dirty. Dust was all over her face and an oversized shirt was barely covering her body. Dimitri replied, taking a look at the girl," Vittoria! A rogue! She wants shelter in our pack for a few days. I thought, You could help her."I shot a glare at Dimitri. We had enough internal troubles already. Bringing another rogue would cause controversies. I scolded him in front of the girl, leaving the equipment aside," Are you crazy? You didn't take Kendrick's permission yet. She can't stay here."Dimitri suddenly blurted, stunning me with the information,
SHIFT!!" " I SAID, SHIFT !! "I growled at the wolf who had been caught by the patrol guards. It was rare to see any wolf trespassing our territory. The other pack had only one or two defensive teams to guard the territory. But we had four which were double than regular packs. Alpha Kendrick was paranoid about sudden attacks in his pack. Ever since his family was killed by a group of rogues, he strengthened the defensive system. Everyone in the land knew how strong our border guards were. So, they avoided any trespassing on our mainland. Jade growled, glaring down at the wolf fiercely," She is stubborn! Why don't we just throw them in the dungeon??"I shook my head, refusing his idea," No, Jade! We can't.. We can't put someone in the dungeon without knowing her crime. We have to know why she trespassed on our land. "I shifted my eyes at the wolf again, asking with a growl," I SAID SHIFT OR I WILL HAVE TO FORCE YOU!"The wolf was stubborn. It was a brown wolf with white marks on
I stayed silent at his words. I knew that the possibility was zero since Dimitri was my chosen mate. Having different mates was common among werewolves. But being a Luna, it was different. The scenario would have been different if Dimitri was my fated mate. Now that, it happened all of a sudden, everyone would think that we marked each other on purpose. Dimitri waited for my answer I replied with a sigh," I don't care, Dimitri but we have to wait until Raemon's future is secured."Dimitri asked again, stepping closer," What about Kendrick? Will you leave him?"I felt the pain in my heart. As a werewolf, it wasn't easy to end a mate bond. But I had decided on it already. When there was no trust and love for each other, there was no point in keeping the bond. I replied with a long sigh, locking my eyes with Dimitri," I will as long as you are faithful to me and don't betray me, Dimitri. I don't care about the acceptance of the pack but I wish for their goodwill. After all, they are
