Hi! My deep apologies for not updating these past few days. I have been really busy complying with some legal documents for the job I applied for. My mind has been fully occupied with that matter so I had no time to write. Still, thank you if you are still waiting for an update. Rest assured that I will finish the novel, but sadly, I can't promise to update regularly for I am going to be busy with my work. 😊 Please be safe and stay healthy. -Ms. Ed ❤
I STOPPED MINCING the vegetable I am holding. Lucien and I haven't talked about it yet but he mentioned to me before that he wants to make us official."Sissy?" she called me again."U-Uh, we haven't talked about it," I told her. "Why so? He marked you already," she said, her forehead forming a knot. I sighed and place the knife on the table. "Honesty... I'm scared. I fear that I might not be able to fulfill my duties and responsibilities as the Luna of the pack. And I am also concerned about Lucien's reputation. What if they won't accept that a mere human is destined with their Alpha? I'm just a normal being. I'm not particularly strong, and I don't even have healing abilities. If I can't protect myself, how can I possibly protect Lucien when things go wrong? How can I face the pack if I don't have the strength to defend them? To engage in battle with them?" I heard Ayla sighed then she squeezed my hand."Look, Ysobella Marie... I understand you have a lot of insecurities and conce
BONDING CEREMONYLUCIEN SENT THE invitations to the Elders the next day, and he had already given the orders to his people in preparation for our bonding ceremony in two days. And regarding my brother, we have already talked about it. He assured me that my brother would arrive a day before the ceremony because he had already sent someone to fetch him.I am excited but at the same time nervous. I honestly do not know what's going to happen if we come face-to-face with each other. We have a lot to talk about, especially from what happened with our parents. Since I am left with nothing to do, I decided to visit the library to read. I have already spoken with Lucien before, about my desire to learn the history of Preousia. I'd like to learn how to handle situations in this land as a future Luna, and I'd like to know what else I can do for the wolf pack.When I entered the library, I was stunned to see Nereza, sitting on a chair, with books and old scrolls piled on the table before her. I
ACCORDING TO HIM, after making sure I was safe he left to help my parents but it was no use."We tried fighting them but we failed. Father pushed me off the cliff to save me from the rogues. I--- I w-wanted to help them, Ysobella b-but..."His voice broke and he wasn't able to continue his sentence. I squeezed his shoulder to send comfort. "I couldn't do anything, Ysobella. I was badly injured after our father pushed me off the cliff. At the same time, I felt useless and angry. I'm angry at myself because I couldn't save our parents and all I could do was cry in grief as I listened to their screams as the rogues murdered them," he uttered in pain and regret.I rested my head on his shoulder while indulging him to talk further. I want him to let it all out. I want him free from his guilt."I didn't want to waste our parents' sacrifice, so I returned to you with all of my remaining strength, but something happened. I fell to the ground unexpectedly, and when I awoke, I was already in a
PREGNANTDAYS PASSED AND everything seemed normal. The Elders left the following day and Clarrise left two days after. My brother on the other hand is still staying in the mansion. Atticus and Lucien have previously worked out their differences in the past. Atticus also took the time to get to know the people who had been looking after me throughout the previous years. He even said he is delighted and grateful for me since I have someone to lean on amid the hardships. But I can't help my sadness for the life he spent before Draven found him. He was alone for ten years, with no one to lean on and no light to guide him in the darkness of despair. I know he chose to live that way because he fears hurting innocent people. Things didn't go easy on him, especially when we both lost our parents. He even expressed fear of becoming a cold-blooded killer like those who murdered our parents. And he explained that he couldn't bring himself to return to me because he was afraid of hurting me. B
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED in Lucien's studies he brought me back to our room. He took me again in the shower and our bed. And when night fell, I chose to dine in our room. The next day I feel weary and my muscles hurt, especially in the lower part of my body.My Alpha is indeed a beast. A beast in bed.I groaned and sit on the bed. Lucien left earlier to get us some food but it didn't take long before he came back. "Sweetheart, I have our food.""Let's eat here in bed," I told him weakly. I don't think I have enough strength to move my legs. "Why?" he asked with worried. "Does it still hurt? Sweetheart, do you want me to get Doctor Morgan?"I shook my head. "No need. I'll just need a rest," I assured him but Lucien insisted on calling Doc Morgan so I nodded in defeat eventually.After our meal, he called Doc Morgan's attention to our room. "Lucien, you do realize that Bella is a normal being, and she doesn't heal as quickly as we do, so you might as well consider being gentle to her," Do
OLD PHOTOMY EYES ARE brimming with tears upon hearing the news from Lucien. I can't believe it. I'm going to be a mother! I looked at Lucien and smiled, the emotions in his eyes mirrored mine. He wrapped his arms around me as he whispers his words of love. I'm already in my third week, according to Doc Katrina. No wonder I feel odd lately and my appetite also changed. "I'll be completely honest with you, Luna Ysobella. Since you're carrying the child of the Alpha, a pure-blooded werewolf, your pregnancy will be difficult. The risk of carrying a hybrid is inevitable," Doc Katrina said with a hint of concern. I looked at Lucien and now I can see fear in his eyes and I understand. Not all normal beings like me can carry a hybrid in their womb. Some died after they gave birth because of losing too much strength. But there are also those fortunate ones, those who successfully gave birth to a hybrid. I suddenly felt scared but then I am carrying our child so I abruptly brushed the fear
"I WENT TO the hidden place hoping to find you there but it's empty. So I tried looking for something instead and that's how I found the photos." I can't help my sadness as I watched each photo. We had so many memories together before, and it saddens me that I forgot about them for thirteen years. But my sadness faded away when I saw a family photo of us. My mother and father are sitting on a couch, smiling brightly, while my brother sits beside our father and the little me is sitting on our mother's lap.There's also a picture of me and my brother with Grandma Esmey in the middle.Then my eyes narrowed to the last photo I am holding. It was me and my mother, with a girl who I think is around six to seven years old. I flipped the photo hoping that I might find something and I did. I read what was written but it only made me puzzled. -With my two angels. Ysobella Marie and Maria Selene. "Who is Selene?" I asked my brother. He instantly took the photo from me and watched it closely
HIS LOYALTY "LUTHER?!" I ASKED, surprised. He smirked and shove his hands inside his pockets. "We should stop meeting like this, Ysobella," he said. Shortly, he took a step closer towards me but this time, both his hands are now on his back. I couldn't explain the emotions I am currently feeling. It's like a mixture of joy, sadness, fear, and anxiety. I swallowed hard and looked him straight in the eyes. "Why are you here, Luther?" "Hmmm, hunting," he answered, shrugging. "You look scared. Do I frighten you that much?" he asked with a serious voice. His question took me by surprise. "N-No, I was just--- I was just wondering why you're here," I told him honestly. "You were in Preousia the last time we saw each other. You were searching for someone, you said." Not a word escaped his mouth. I want to ease the tension between us so I spoke once more. "Have you found the person you were looking for?" I am honestly uncomfortable with our situation right now. I shouldn't feel this
