MY EYES QUICKLY darted to Clarrise. A small smile crossed her lips but her eyes tell differently. I know very well the emotion lurking in her orbs. I squeezed her hand and engaged us in another conversation. I am glad that Ayla managed to put a genuine smile on Clarisse's lips as she regale us with her stories. Moments later, sweet melodious music filled the hall. It didn't take for the men to ask their partners for a waltz. Markus came as well for Nereza. Lucien momentarily followed with a sweet smile.But before leaving our table, I asked Raven and Logan to help Ayla and Clarisse since both ladies are drunk. Logan helped Ayla while Raven took Clarisse in his arms since she can no longer walk suitably due to being drunk. It's very rare for a werewolf to get drunk. But Lucien mentioned before that a werewolf will get drunk if his or her emotional aspect is unstable. I don't know what came into me but I shifted my gaze to Drago right after Raven left. He appears uninterested but
EPILOGUESOMEWHERE IN VINFORTTHE REBELS ARE hard at work building the weapons they will use in the next war. They lost many of their men and alliance five years ago during the Pack War but in the end, they were able to bring triumph for they carried out their plan for their prince.And now, after five years of waiting and planning they will soon carry out their next plan. Some of the rogues are patrolling the area, while others are busy training. Their lair is close enough to the fallen kingdom but it does not waver them because the place is long forgotten. A grin is plastered on Luther's face while watching the rogues train. They need to train more to be ready for another battle. They knew that their prince would not stop until he got what he desired.Their prince wishes to rebuild the fallen kingdom of Vinfort and resurrect the long-forgotten wolf pack.Luther Grim moved to the other side of the camp, arms crossed, watching the newly recruited warriors train. And an evil grin ap
LUCIEN HELLION SALVATORRI OF CRESCENT MOON PACKI HAVE ALWAYS been fascinated by my father and mother's love since I was a child. When they locked their gazes on each other, I saw love and passion in their eyes.Years passed, and I began to wonder what it was like to have someone you care about and with whom you could share your feelings. Then I recall something my father told me when I was six years old."Lucien, you can't just choose the woman you want to spend your eternity with," my father said with amusement."Why not?" I asked with creased eyebrows. "Because you have to wait until you meet your mate," he answered. "What's a mate?" I asked again. "A mate is the person you are destined to be with. The person you can spend your eternity with. Your other half, just like me and your mother," my father responded with a flicker in his eyes."Then how can I find my mate? Can we go and find her instead?" I asked, hoping. We're actually on our way to Burkhann City to see an old family
"GRIM! LET'S LEAVE this place!" one of the rogues yelled.We tried chasing them but sadly we didn't capture them all.And a year after my father's death, Luna Azalea Salvatorri died. She died in grief for she couldn't handle the pain of losing her mate, our father."Lucien, the triplets are fifteen now and they said that they wanted to join the pack," Clarrise informed me one night. So the next day we welcomed the triplets as the newest members of the pack. Our newest Gammas."Lucien! Have you spoken with the Council?" Nereza asked after the triplet's initiation. "Not yet." I sighed in frustration. The Council members are pressuring me in finding my mate. They said that I will rule better with a Luna beside me. "I haven't found my mate yet," I told her. "But the Elders... what will we say?""Just let it be. There is nothing we can do."Four years had passed and Clarrise is now eighteen. She didn't celebrate her eighteenth birthday because something terrible happened to her. She m
PROLOGUEYSOBELLA IS SITTING in a corner with a little smile on her face, looking at the people of Assura celebrating under the full moon. It is the 45th anniversary of their town and the people are having a festive feast. It's almost midnight and only a few people are left in the park. Ysobella also decided to head home. On her way home, she was happily watching the townspeople on each side of the road. She feels pleased as she observes their faces as if they carry no burden. This is what she wants. A peaceful but lively environment to live in. No violence and the people are not unpleasant. When she reached their house, her Grandma Esmey is already resting in her room. Her grandmother went home a little earlier than her because of exhaustion. Since Ysobella's parents are long gone, it was just her and her grandmother. She was only six years old when she lost both her parents. And since then, her Grandma Esmey became her sole guardian. Ysobella then readies herself for bed. She
THE FIRST TIME THE SAME DREAM awakened me from my slumber. It's odd because I kept on dreaming about it for five nights. The dream is about a little girl who wanders in the woods with her small basket filled with various flowers. As she keeps marveling around the woods, she spotted a huge tree not so far from the lake. But she knows she is not supposed to go this far so she decided to turn her back and head back to her parents. She was a few steps away when she heard a muffled sound. It was like something or someone is moaning. Fear suddenly surged through the little girl. But despite the fear she felt, she still found herself walking towards the location where the sound is coming from. She was surprised when she realized that the sound came from the tree she noticed earlier. There, was a young man, with his white t-shirt stained with red, which the girl presumed was blood. The girl then noticed how the young man's face contorted in pain. The little girl has no idea what to
HAPPY BIRTHDAY I OPENED MY eyes and found out that Ayla is no longer in her bed. Another day and another year for me. My life changed in an instant after what happened in Assura. "Happy Birthday, to me," I greeted myself. Ever since my grandmother died I stopped celebrating my birthday but Nana and Mama Melly said that I should not forbid myself from celebrating another year of my life. And they said that my grandmother would have wanted me to enjoy my day and forget about the nightmares in the past. "Bella? Are you done fixing yourself?" I heard Ayla's voice from outside our room "Just a minute!" I half yelled. I looked at the mirror and observed my reflection. I have middle-length auburn hair, a pointy nose, and brown eyes. Grandma Esmey said that I look a lot like my mother but my round brown eyes are inherited from my father. It's just painful that I lost them at an early age and I don't even have a single photo of them. "Bella?" It was Ayla, calling me once more. "I'
BLUE MOON PACK HIS GREETINGS WERE simple yet it brings havoc to my system. I don't even know how I managed to go downstairs without tripping. And how did he know about my birthday? Maybe he knows everybody's birthday. He's the Alpha after all.I marched to the training ground to find Lorkan. I smiled when I spotted him together with his brothers, Logan and Landon. My smile widened as I eyed the three. They are triplets and I am five years younger than them. The triplets almost have the same facial features, they even have the same eye color which is evergreen. But it's not really hard to distinguish which is which. The oldest, Lorkan, bears a cold expression but he's actually the gentle one. He's usually quiet and observant. Then the second one, Logan, was playful and very friendly. His brother even thinks that he's the male version of Ayla. And lastly, the youngest, Landon, is the black sheep of the family, as Logan always claims. He is the mischievous type and has a typical bad-b
