ALPHA RAVEN MONFEORITHE KNOCK FROM outside awoke me from my sleep. I rose from the bed and comb my shoulder-length hair with my fingers as I strode towards the door.I was welcomed by Marianna and two other servants after I opened the door.I let them in and greeted them sheepishly. Marianna nods her head and instructs the servants to settle the food on the table. They left shortly after."Did you have a good sleep?" Marianna asked after she settled herself on the couch."Yes... I'm sorry I woke up late," I apologized timidly. Then I sat on the chair in front of her.Marianna smiled at me and helped me prepare the food. "That's okay, at least we know that you're comfortable with us."I noticed that there was plenty of food on the table so invited her to join me. And also, I don't really like eating alone."Thank you but I'm good. Alpha Lucien personally had this prepared for you," she said while crossing her legs.I was stunned. An image of Lucien, cooking in the kitchen never once c
THE NIGHT HAS finally come. Tonight is a full moon. It means a new beginning and a new era. And tonight the people of Aveion will finally welcome a new leader, a new Alpha.Every pack member of the Blue Moon Pack gathered around each side of the aisle, the four Alpha of each wolf pack is in front together with Counselor Cidolfus Brack and Raven in the middle.Alpha Gregory shared his experience as the ruler of the land for the past years. After that, the Elders led the ancient prayer to ask for a blessing from the Moon Goddess.After the prayer, Alpha Gregory took the emblem of the Blue Moon Pack, it was a medallion with the elegant letter A engraved in the middle. He hands it over to Raven as he proclaims him as the new Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.Every pack member shifted into a werewolf. Each of them was howling under the bright full moon. Following the pack members, Raven also shifted to his wolf form. His wolf is gray and enormous.Following the proclamation, everyone feasted an
THE FIFTH ALPHAUPON ARRIVING AT the pack house, I quickly marched to the kitchen to look for Ayla. Lucien insisted on coming with me but I firmly told him to take a rest first.He was hard to convince and I am glad Nereza was there to help me.Before he went upstairs, he kissed me on my forehead. It was embarrassing because Nereza was there, watching her brother kissing me."Sissy, you are finally back!" Ayla exclaimed before hugging me.I let out a chuckle and returned her hug. "I was only gone for two days, Ayla. And oh! I have something for you." I hand her a couple of paper bags.Her eyes gleamed with both amusement and curiosity. She took the paper bags and checked what was inside."Wow, did you buy these, Sissy?""It was actually from Einah. She wants you to have them."Ayla's brows creased with confusion. "But why?""I happened to tell her about you and she thinks that you and she are kind of alike. My stories about you somehow amused her."I was smiling as I recall the things
I WOULD HAVE never imagined how far people can go for greed and power. "What happened to the prince? Did he live?" I asked. "I don't know. No one knows where he is. All I know is that they succeeded in cutting his red string. Some say he died along with his parents," she said, sighing. "And now, Vinfort is nothing like before. Those rogues who keep on causing a lot of trouble are actually from Vinfort. They allied with the rebels. They were enraged because they have lost their family in the Blood War. They are thirsty for vengeance. And the other pack members who survived the war allied with the rebels as well. They must have left with no choice because they badly want to rebuild the fallen kingdom."If that's true then does this mean another Blood War? Ayla noticed my discomfort because I saw the fear flash in her eyes. "You know what? We shouldn't worry too much. The leaders are different now. I'm sure they will do everything in their power to prevent the Blood War," she said as
HIS RED STRINGLUCIEN'S EYEBROWS FURROWED. "Talk about what?"I lowered my gaze and took a single step backward. When I lifted my head, my eyes darted to his clenching jaw. My eyes lingered there for a couple of seconds until I finally look him in the eyes. Regret soon rushed into me when I saw his eyes darken."What's the problem? Did I do something wrong?" he asked.I instantly panicked. "No! I just wanted to clear things between us."I lowered my head to escape his pressing gaze.He sighed deeply. "Clarify what? And why are you avoiding my gaze?"I tried looking at him but his expression of desperation for an answer is making it hard for me to explain. I suddenly don't know how to put my emotions in words.Now I come to realize that we can not simply choose the perfect words to say when nervousness surged us. I should have thoroughly thought about this. But I know that I needed to deliver my answer."W-Well... I---""Sissy, I'm sorry I took so long. I---"I wasn't able to finish wh
SILENCE ENGULFED US for the past few minutes. I am still shocked. How come? I clearly remembered what happened three years ago. He introduced Clarrise as the future Luna of the pack. "But why would Lucien introduce her as the future Luna? And what do you think will happen if both of them will find their mates in the future?"I could not hide the bitterness and disappointment in my voice. Their mates will definitely be heartbroken. When I look at Ayla, her expression is different from mine. Her face fell with sadness. "Bella, the truth is, Clarrise already found him.""R-Really?! Then where is her mate? Is he in Berkhann City?Ayla sighed deeply before taking a sip of her coffee. "I honestly have no idea about his whereabouts. We don't know much about him, all we know is that Clarrise met him a day before her eighteenth birthday. But their story didn't turn out well like the others. It ended right before it started.""What do you mean?""Bella, Clarrise was rejected by her mate," she
CLARRISEA WEEK PASSED since Lucien and I talked and after that, we hadn't had a chance to talk again. I was busy and so is he. Sometimes he goes with the Hunters to hunt those rogues who were located within the boundaries. I also heard that the Alpha of Xynmorth is also hunting those rogues. But it wasn't just rogues he was hunting, he was also looking for wolf hunters. I was busy doing my chores in the kitchen when Ayla came running. "Sissy! Have you heard the news?!" The franticness in her voice is evident."What news, Ayla?" I asked while wiping my hands."Some of the rogues who attacked the carriage are already been found! But sad to say the coachman didn't make it. They found his dead body floating in the river," Ayla said with pity.I felt relieved but I feel sad for the man who died. It turns out that he was on his way back to town when the rogues attack him. "But the rogues were not alone. The rebels are with them as well. And did you know that they also attacked the land
LUCIEN IS THERE, standing outside and both hands in his pocket. He looks intimidating and his intense gaze is giving me chills. I walk closer to him while running my hands to both arms. Lucien took off his leather jacket to keep me warm. The coldness of his blue orbs is now replaced with tenderness. I also caught a glimpse of longing and sadness. My eyes started to sting when I felt a pang in my chest. It didn't take long for my tears to escape from my eyes. I cried in front of him. Guilt and pain both engulfed me as I stare at him. My visions are starting to get foggy due to my tears. I heard him swearing before he grabbed me on my neck and crashed me into his chest. Then I heard his deep soothing voice in my ear."Shh, it's okay, Ysobella. D*mn! I missed you, sweetheart," he whispered gently.His voice hurts me even more. Now I realized how much I miss. I didn't even know it was possible especially when we both living in the same place. But then I haven't had much time to glance
