My head hurts~Feeling a sharp pain from the back of my head, with my neck aching as if I had just been run over, I open my eyes quite slowly.The world seems hazy and blue at first, I can hardly see a thing.By the next blink, images begin to sink in."...This isn't my room," I think to myself while still getting familiar with my surroundings.I see a figure, it looks like a man, hurrying towards me with aggressive footsteps.Splash~"Ah!!!!" I yell with terror as I awake fully. I could have sworn I also heard another voice coming from behind me.I jump right back up to reality right after an ice-cold bucket of water greets me. I shiver greatly with every bone in my body trembling.My skin feels beaten by rocks causing me to open my eyes. On my lap, I find what weren't rocks, but ice cubes all over the bed."Who would dare wake someone in such a cruel manner," I wonder as I look around in a haste to find the man from earlier.In a fit of rage, I scan around for him when my sight clas
That lady!I recognized her at first glance, although this might be the third glance as I had already once forgotten who she was.With boldness and modesty, she walks right through the door, the room is silent enough that one could hear a pin drop from miles away.It's her, the female wolf I saw earlier, but… how did she get here?She carries herself with a high and mighty pressure that even Linda looks away, the only one looking her in the eyes and right back at is Dexter."This is a serious issue," Dexter begins as he stands before me, blocking my view. "Are you certain you can prove that she's innocent?"Once again everywhere falls silent, however, I see a head poking out from beside Dexter as she waved at me with a chuckle.She seems fond of laughing."Oh relax Dex, it's nothing serious," she says, playfully punching Dexter. "If I say I can prove it, then I can," she answers.Dexter turns around slowly and stares at me, and with a heavy sigh turns around and nods in approval."If
Dexter and I stare at each other and then look away.The word at the tip of our tongue and yet so difficult to say, if I could ask for anything at the moment it would be that this embarr*ssing moment would p*ss for both of us.Catherine stares back at both of us, arms crossed as she shakes her head with a tsk and then she lets out a heavy sigh before caressing her forehead. She's on to something.I turn to Dexter who's still looking away. He seems rather embarr*ssed to talk about this."Um…""Wait!" Dexter interrupts my answer, tightly clenching my hand as he draws me back.He walks towards the corner of the door where Erik unfortunately hurdles himself like a child."This discussion doesn't require outsiders," he says, indirectly telling Erik.He arrives before Erik and squats, his big hands reaching out to Erik's face as he covers his face, "sleep," he commands, but his voice is so soothing and enchanting that I feel drowsy for a split second.My head feels tipsy like when I had tha
A video plays on the screen. A very visible one with clear visuals and everything.As I watch I laugh to myself, realizing I don't even need to complete the video to prove my innocence.I take a seat waiting for the rest to complete the video so I can ask them about what they think.Dexter's eyes are fixated to the screen, never leaving Catherine's phone, almost as if he wants to take the phone into his hands."This video only captures Erik interrupting her at the rest room and this is from Erik right outside this room door, and as you can see, she's clearly being dragged here," Catherine says, withdrawing her phone as she puts it away, letting out a heavy sigh."Look, I know you find it hard to trust your own kind, not more humans," she says patting him on the shoulder, "but she's your Luna, you have to treat her with respect, or at least stand up for her.""..." Dexter's silence sends a blow to my heart.As I thought he's never going to stand up for me, but to think he feels no symp
Dexter's car pulls up at the mansion, at long last, after an hour-long ride with nothing but awkward silence, we finally arrive.Bam!My anger pounces upon the door as I slam the car door quite hard."..." Dexter stares at me as I walk inside leaving him behind.I'm greeted by a circle of maids standing at the entrance leading to the stairs and whispering amongst themselves as they chuckle, "What's going on?" I ask.At once they freeze and quickly rush to greet, "Good morning ma'am," although their voices are in unison they're whispering and frightened which I find rather odd."Is anything the matter?" I ask worriedly, hurrying to put away my bag as I make my way towards the entrance."No, the young masters are just playing a game so we're watching," the head maid answers.The entrance door closes with a creak and everyone hurries to bow their heads avoiding looking Dexter in the face.I could only understand now why they looked terrified. They must have thought they were acting out o
A hand greets me with a wave and I make haste to table thirteen, panting from all the running I've been doing."Did I make you wait long?" I ask Catherine as soon as I reach her table.She seems to have been waiting for a long time seeing as she raises one eyebrow and stares at me."It's nothing, besides it was I who asked you for your help," she answers.Catherine signals to a waiter who hurries to her side, the both of them whisper a bit, contemplating the list until he finally leaves, and she responds with a "thank you.""I didn't expect you to contact me, tell me, did something happen?"She remains silent, staring at her phone as she scrolls through the screen. "Is there anything I could do to help you? I may not be able to do much since I'm only human after all but I'll try my best."Ha~A long sigh escapes her lips and she finally looks up.Her back straightens and she puts her phone on the table and stretches out her hand to hold her mind."Vida! You're exactly who I need and w
Ha~I let out a frustrating sigh as I tiredly collapsed on my seat.It's silent and I think I prefer it this way for now. After hearing Catherine's story, I was not sure what to say or how to react and ended up leaving the restaurant early."What do I do now?" I wonder.Continuously I bang my hair upon my table as my troubles get the best of me, each time I try to gather myself Catherine's story fills me with so much sorrow and anger at the same time."Some people are just born *ssh*les," I tell myself, gritting my teeth in disgust. "Let's first find out who this man is."I waste no time as I grab my laptop to discover who this man is.With Catherine's look and wealth, there's no way she's not on the internet.My fingers dance on the keyboard as I type the name "Catherine…"In less than a second, her name pops up at the top of the search.d*mn, I knew she was famous but I didn't think she was that famous. "Catherine Bonnethe… C.E.O of B-faire cosmetics."Wait a minute.Puzzled I stret
The sound of water flowing keeps me from losing my mind as I stroll along the riverside walkway. With dark clouds in the sky and no sunlight to bask in, I take deep breaths of the cold air and sigh heavily."This is difficult," I whisper to myself.Plop!Plop!!One by one drops of rain landed on my face, the skies could barely hold back and it began to drizzle, the temperature dropping drastically and I had to run to shelter as I could sense the coming rain was no joke.Making a run for safety, I feel a heavy blow against my skirt, "sh*t!" I cry out of frustration as I try holding it down from both sides while I run."This looks like a nice spot," a cafe door was wide open, although not literally, the sign on the door did say "open."I make my way inside and take shelter before the rain can outrun me.I shiver as I make my way inside, my teeth gnashing against each other and my arms tightly wrapped around me."This feels like perfect weather for two," I mutter to myself with a chuckle
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
