Right after the crazy situation, I had Linda arrested and that b*st*rd was caught while trying to leave this country by jumping from one border to another.Tch! How foolish he was to think he could beat me. I'm glad that's all in the past now but…"Dexter… can you hear me?"She asks, turning back to stare at me, her eyes beaming with expectations as she waits for my response.Right after Vida was able to find the kids, two things happened.The first is that her spirit is back and perhaps double what it used to be.The second–"I can hear you loud and clear, you did perfectly well, even much better than I did when I tried my first mind link," I told her.Although I'm not certain why, I can't help but be happy about this."Cool, now we can all say whatever we want to say to each other without saying it out loud," Ash yells cheerfully.With roaring laughter, the place echoes loudly, filled with the once grim life.Finally, our engagement was just an hour away.For our engagement, I had s
What is this?My smile vanishes as I stare at an unbelievable text.Nothing, save the time and address is in the text message, with a small note to me saying, "Dear Vida, if you would like to know the truth about how your parents died, then do endeavor to show up at the appointed time and place."I'm taken back in shock as I try to make sense of this.My parents?Didn't they die in a car accident? Could there be something more to it?As much as I am baffled by this, I take into consideration that this could be a trap, but who will want to trap me?Who would know about my parents wanting to use this to lure me?Linda is already behind bars and so is Erik, and I don't think I have that many enemies."Ha! This is a really difficult situation," I murmur to myself, covering my face as I brace myself."I'll just have to let Dexter know that I'm going out for security reasons."With my mind made up, I grab my purse, make my payment, and dash out of the spa without waiting for my session to e
Dexter's POV"Alpha, we're ready for you," I'm told."Huh!"My consciousness snaps all thanks to a tap on my shoulder.I sigh, tired and worried as well."In a moment."How long has it been, there's still no sign of her and it's making me anxious to the point where I can't think straight.I glance at my watch, anxiously I wait but I have a feeling I'd be waiting for a long while.Dialing her number, I get the response I've grown tired of listening to."The number you're trying to reach is unavailable.""Dammit!" What is going on, I need answers and I'm more pissed each time I realize that I can't get any answers.This should be the thirteenth time already.Where's Vida?Ever since she sent that text about her going out, I could feel a very big gap between Vida and me.Her cheerful self slowly fading, and the look in her eyes whenever we meet, is sad, and disappointed, I'm confused with no idea what to do.Like a proper adult, I've tried talking to her to know if something's gone wrong
"Where is he? Where's that b*st*rd!" I yell as I make my way through the midst of their security, barging into the company of the darn dastard."Please sir, our boss is currently busy, he can't take in any visitors," they tell me while doing their best to keep me out.Still, there's no way I would agree to be kicked out because of such a petty reason, the man who's responsible for currently ruining my life, how dare that man walk all over me and think he can get away with it."Don't tell me such nonsense, now where is he!"At last, I spot a door by the left wing, leading to a big room, and hurry to it.The staff tried with all their might to hold me back but their strength was no match for me as I stormed in."So this is where you've been," I say with quite a sarcastic laughter.While I drown away in the sorrow of having lost my mate, he's over here, sealing deals with investors for his company.The mere sight of him fills me with hate but this isn't a time to argue with him."Where i
Vida's POVKnock! Knock!!"Bailey, the boss is asking for you," I'm told.I sigh as I reluctantly gather my things to leave.What does that b*st*rd want again?Irritated but with no option left, I find myself clicking my tongue repeatedly as I drag my legs to his office.Knock! Knock!!"Sir," I call out while standing outside the door.There's no reply, this makes me a bit pissed. Just how much does he enjoy frustrating my life, jeez?I open the door and walk in.He's seated with three other b*st*rds, chatting and heavy with laughter, too focused or perhaps busy pretending I don't exist while I walk in.I sigh, closing the door behind me.At once all three of them clear their throats, staring at me as if they have found prey."Bailey, what are you doing here, don't you know how to knock!" The old geezer yells.I roll my eyes knowing where this is heading and bow my head in apology, but hold on, why should I be the one apologizing?Quickly I raise my head back up and stare at the three
"Boys," I call out to them sweetly.It's silent and it's that way for a reason. Both of them have decided to go on a hunger strike in protest that I let them at least call their father.At first, I thought they were just ranting but it sure doesn't look like that anymore.Holding up the bagged snacks in my hand, I set them aside, taking a quiet step towards them, cautiously watching around to find those pair of eyes."Kids, I know you're in there, so come out, don't make me come find you, because you know too well how good mama is at tickling, who knows perhaps I might turn into a tickle monster and tickle you for eternity," I tell them."Hehehe…""Shhh…"That giggle!I turn around at that voice, it's without a doubt Neo, having fun as he laughs away his hideout.Carefully I move towards them.I can hear Ash scolding him in a whisper the closer I draw."Look what you've done, mama would certainly find us," Ash tells Neo."But I couldn't help it, I wanted to laugh so badly, besides, Ma
"Alright Everyone, I can see we're all seated," the boss says as he walks in, his eyes nicely fixated on me.Ugh, that b*st*rd.I turn away feigning a conversation with the co-workers so I can avoid his lustful gaze."Hmph!" I hear him go as he turns away."He's really on to you…" Alexa whispers."Tell me about it, forget that he doesn't look like my type staring at a woman with such obvious intentions, sheesh what a pervert," I mumble."Let's get started. Just so you know, the shares of our firm have been sold, and the new shareholder will be making himself present pretty soon, let's say in a few weeks so I'll be *ssigning some new posts and *ssignments that'll help us run the company a bit more proficiently, so everyone takes out your pens and starts writing down your roles and new *ssignment…"***"Tch! How could he dare, I bet he separated us on purpose," Alexa yells in frustration, pulling her hair.The meeting did not go so well for a few people who are Mr. Darlington's prey.Se
There he is, standing bold and striding with great confidence with people flocking behind him, trying to suck up with him.He hasn't changed, so I guess the only one who's changed after all this time is me."Dammit!" someone yells beside me, attracting my attention."What is it?" Everyone asks worriedly as we can see her gritting her teeth."Does no one see the hot chick beside him, we haven't got a chance next to someone like her, I mean look at her."Now that she mentioned it, Dexter does have a woman right beside him.She's average height with short brown curly hair, a bit olive skinned with beautiful red lips and a mole under her left eye. A rather stunning beauty if I do say so myself."Who could she be, I've never heard of her before," they murmur."You think his ex came back?" Alexa suddenly blurts.I choked on my saliva upon hearing that, to think they'd believe that woman was me when in reality, my looks were nothing compared to hers.One of them shakes her head in disagreeme
Dexter's POVKnock knock!!"Alpha, it's time to go." I'm told.Never have I ever felt this ready for anything in my entire life as I brace myself for whatever would happen behind that door.I take a deep breath, calming my nerves, and check myself in the mirror one more time."Come on Papa. You look dashing already, let's go, we can't keep Mama waiting forever, she'll die of boredom," Neo scolds me.Rather than Vida, it feels as if the ones truly bored are my two tricksters with Neo sighing repeatedly and Ash pacing to and fro the room.I raise my hand in surrender, "All alright, I'm all ready, we can go now," I tell them."Finally," the both of the chorus as they hurry up on their feet and run out the door.It's been a month since the war, and everything seems to be going smoothly for us. Today, Vida and I were finally going to tie the knot after much difficulty.I didn't need to suck up to anyone, nor did I need their approval to do as I please. The problem of a human Luna died the
Dexter's POVThe news hit like a hurricane, a revelation that left the pack in disbelief.Vida, once our Luna, had allied herself with the rogues—the very enemies who had stained our history with blood, the ones responsible for the loss of our grandparents.The pack's confusion mirrored the turmoil within me, torn between duty and the remnants of a love that had seemingly crumbled.Ash and Neo, the innocent casualties of our unravelling saga, clung to the hope that their mother had been coerced, that she was still the woman they loved.Their eyes, mirrors of the pain etched across their faces, pleaded with me to take them to her—to see her, to understand. But the weight of betrayal hung heavy on my shoulders, and I insisted that Vida, in her newfound allegiance, was to be treated as an enemy.As the moon rose, casting an eerie glow upon the battleground, the rogues attacked our borders with a ferocity that mirrored the storm within our hearts.I, Dexter, my eyes a reflection of the pa
The night hangs heavy with anticipation as the black moon casts its mysterious glow upon the werewolf realm.After Dexter marked me, I felt the steady pulse of newfound strength coursing through my veins.What began as a subtle shift in my abilities evolved into something extraordinary, something that left even the elders in awe.The packed council, their eyes filled with a mix of trepidation and wonder, gathered to discuss my unprecedented powers.Controlling consciousness was a gift, or perhaps a curse, that surp*ssed the known limits of our kind. A human marked by a werewolf, an anomaly in our ancient traditions. They saw it as an opportunity, a chance to elevate the Black Moon Pack to heights unseen.In the weeks that followed, my connection with Dexter deepened.We shared more than just thoughts; we shared emotions, sensations, and dance of souls intertwined. Mindlinking with children and Dexter was just the beginning.Now, I could extend my influence further, manipulating the th
Vida's PovI listen with rapt attention to every bit of Dexter's story and I come to realise that the wolves I saw that day were not Dexter, rogues and I have carried that narrative in my head for years.As I try to process all that he said, I get hit by a suddenly intoxicating wave which has me shuddering for seconds. I look at Dexter and everything that happened that night flushes into my brain like a tidal wave, and I have a quick seizure that makes me remember every action that took place two years ago.Dexter is right, everything he said is exactly the way it happened.“Humph..” a gasp flies out of me as I feel a hand touching me.“Vida, are you okay?” Dexter asks, his eyes busy scrutinising my face.Perhaps, he got scared when he saw the pains my eyes held. “Yes, I am fine,” I say, blinking out tears.But the surprise on my face never left, my head is roaming with questions and I'm trying to look normal so he doesn't start worrying all over again.How could I have imagined that
Dexter's PovIt was a really cold evening. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard a loud bang on my door, and when I opened it was my father's beta. His face was clouded with worry when I looked at him but he pulled me out before I could open my mouth to say anything.he11, I was only in my bathing robe.“Come, you have to stop your father's madness.” That was all he said to me and I followed him to my father's chambers.My father, the then Alpha, was taken aback when he saw me. “What is this nonsense, Gabriel? I told you not to involve the boy!” He lashes at his Beta but I am not driven from my confusion.“What is going on Father? What madness was my uncle talking about?” I finally bring myself to ask but he ignores me.“Gabriel, take the boy out now that I ask nicely–”“I am not a boy, father!” I am forced to shout. “I am fourteen, please tell me what is going on?!”He sighs deeply and as I stare at him I see the scars engraved in his face. He walks past me and goes to hi
Dexter's Pov.“I... I never stopped loving you, Vida,” I confess.She gulps at me with unwritten emotions. Her hand slips out of mine and the look that follows is one full of doubts and worries.I take her hand again, patting it softly. "I'm sorry it had to take me this long to confess my feelings for you." The words have barely left me when she snatches her hand again, giving me a faux look.“You can't buy your way in like this, Dexter. Don't you think there are things you should apologize for?!”"I love you, Vida. Don't I look miserable enough?"“No! I can not accept your love, Dexter. You have to say the right words, 'cause I'm honestly not buying this..”“You were the one that left me! You freaking left me and that has always kept me on the edge!!”“You killed my parents.” She reveals her grudge, shockingly.Confusion spreads on my face like wildfire. Of course, I've heard the rumors but it has never occurred to me that she would think I did so.“Did you believe that? It was just
Vida's PovA white blurry light wakes my spirit and as I open my eyes, surprise overwhelms me seeing my dead parents smiling at me weakly.Instantly, tears break down from my eyelids, flowing freely from my eyes. My lips try to form words but I cannot bring myself to say anything as I am feeling so sorry for them.Ever since I lost my parents I have never seen their faces appear to me in my dreams.Does this mean I am dead and they are sad to welcome me?My head is bursting with questions and all I can do is cry, feeling so guilty for my choice. I should never have accepted Silas's, I should never have had anything to do with him, and now I am full of regrets.“My child,” I hear a voice but I'm finding it hard to believe that it's real.My breath hangs in the air as I glance at her sharply, "Mom?" I hiss under my breath and she speaks again.“Vida, do not regret because we are always with you.” My mom says, her voice echoing all around me."Mom!" I scream in delight but not after some
Vida's Pov“sh*t!" I hiss gruffly as I kick the chair aggressively.“Silas!!" I yell his name but the room is just as silent as it had been.Not wanting to panic yet, I let my eyes take in every corner of the room and noticed a red substance at the far end.It isn't that obvious but as I take a closer look I notice that it's blood, I couldn't take my eyes away from it and it starts to get into my head.“What do I do?! Nothing's working!” I let out a tiny yelp.Again, I try to wriggle myself out of the chains but who am I kidding? The chains are heavily guarded by a key.Code sweat breaks down my forehead as the realization of me dying alone in this abandoned warehouse hits me. I couldn't sit back and watch, expecting help to get to me like a Disney princess, I had to do something.“But what do I do? How do I get out of this mess?!" By this time tears had started gathering in my eyes.“Silas you two timing b*st*rd! You will rot in he11!” I shout angrily, smacking my teeth like one who'
I regained consciousness to find myself bound to a cold, rusty beam in a dimly lit warehouse. The last I remembered was Silas begging me to talk to him an hour ago.I had foolishly agreed to meet him, thinking that it was an opportunity to finally put an end to our relationship.While in the car, I had questioned where we were goingBut Before I could react, Silas lunged towards me, his hand clamping over my mouth.I remembered the panic that had surged through me as I fought against his grip, my muffled cries for help echoing in the vehicle. But my struggles were in vain as the world around me blurred, and darkness consumed my consciousness.Panic gripped me once again as I realized the gravity of the situation.My heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of the distant sounds of traffic that seeped through the dilapidated walls.I strained against my restraints, desperately trying to free myself, but Silas's knots were tight, leaving me helpless.As my eyes adjusted to the dim
