EDNA POVI still couldn't believe it. The council members had actually accepted me as the new Luna.My heart swelled with emotions I had never felt so intensely before: pride, love, and a sense of belonging. As the council members echoed "To our new Luna!" I could feel the acceptance seeping into my bones, erasing the doubts and fears that had plagued me for so long.From a rejected cursed omega to a Luna not just Luna but being Alpha Ansel's mare meant I was going to be queen-Luna of the whole Titanic Wave.I was going to be above Mellisa and Edric.They would have to respect me as their head Luna.Who would have thought that something like that would happen to me?A lonely cursed Omega?I gazed at the people before me and tears of joy cascaded down my cheeks.Turning around, I met the man who changed my life from grass to grace. He was smiling as he held my hand in the air. I could see the genuineness in his eyes as he gazed at me gently as if I would disappear if he wasn't careful.
THIRD PERSON POVThe morning of the coronation dawned bright and clear, the sun casting a warm glow over the grounds of Titanic Wave. Edna stood before the mirror, her hands trembling slightly as she smoothed the delicate blue dress Ansel had given her the night before. The fabric shimmered under the morning light, a testament to her new status and the love Ansel held for her. She took a deep breath, her reflection staring back at her with a mix of determination and nerves.Her long locks were left out loose, showing off her beautiful face and big eyes.After putting on a light makeup which she refused the offer of the maids to help her with, she leaned on the wardrobe and took out black heels and wore them then clung onto a black purse and moved out of the room, still not sure of herself.Ansel had gone out to look at the preparation and the guests.As she descended the grand staircase, the murmurs of the pack members reached her ears. Whispers floated through the air, some laced wi
The days following the coronation were filled with a sense of pride and anticipation. I embraced my role as Luna with determination, attending meetings, overseeing pack matters, and supporting Ansel in every way I could. I was so happy at first being a Luna of this great pack I couldn't lie.But then after some time, things changed.Little did I know the pack members expected me to have Ansel's pup as soon as the coronation was over but nothing yer.At first, I tried not to mind them but yet, the whispers of doubt and envy that had once been mere murmurs now evolved into a more insidious expectation: the pack wanted an heir.Weeks turned into months, and as the seasons changed, so did the patience of Titanic Wave. The once hopeful looks from pack members turned to glances of suspicion and disappointment. I felt the weight of their unspoken accusations every time I walked through the pack grounds or entered the council hall. Despite all of that, I was happy that the strange things
News traveled first that there was a white woman in the packhouse. Others even exaggerated that the woman was a witch, which I didn't believe.Not only was she nice to me, but Seraphina also felt so familiar to me, and I loved her way of thinking and her straightforwardness.All in all, she was an organized woman in everything she did.We had stayed for a few days in the packhouse, but I had already grown fond of her, and I felt somewhat sad that she might leave after helping me and Ansel, as she said.I didn't know why I was scared to see her leave, especially since I didn't even know her in the first place, which made it seem strange. That was the reason I kept that thought to myself.And today, we were here. She had told us to meet her in one of Ansel's private rooms.We had decided that we wouldn't tell the pack members anything until we were sure that Seraphina could indeed help us. Now, we were just sitting on the edge of the bed, watching her as she mixed some leaves in a pot w
I stared at Seraphina, my mind racing with a thousand questions. The sudden, almost unbearable tension in the room made it hard to breathe. “I left my daughter when she had just been born,” Seraphina repeated, her voice barely above a whisper. I couldn’t stop myself. “What happened to her?”Seraphina sighed deeply, her eyes clouding with a sorrow that seemed endless. “She was taken from me, Edna. I had no choice but to let her go to keep her safe. It's a long story, one we don’t have time for right now.” She quickly turned her back on me, signaling the end of that discussion.It seemed she didn't want yo talk about it.Though I was curious as shocked at the same time, I couldn't keep asking.She handed me the pot of herbs and medicinal leaves. “Apply this to Ansel. I need to prepare more medication. We must ensure all of you have used the medication fully before we move forward with anything else.”I took the pot, my mind still whirling with thoughts of Seraphina’s lost daughter. As
I couldn't hold back the flood of questions in my mind. They tumbled out of me, frantic and desperate, as I stared at Ansel, my eyes red and swollen from crying."Is she really my mother, Ansel?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Why would she leave me? Why would she let everyone think she was dead? Why didn’t she come for me sooner?"Ansel sat beside me, his hand gently squeezing mine, offering silent support. His eyes were full of concern and confusion. “I don’t know, Edna,” he replied softly. “But we’ll find out. We’ll get to the bottom of this, I promise.”"How could she abandon me?" I continued, my words spilling out in a rush. "If she’s my mother, why didn’t she tell me sooner? Why did she wait until now? Why did she leave me to think she was dead?"Ansel pulled me closer, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "We’ll get the answers, Edna. Right now, we need to focus on what she said about the war. We need to be prepared.”I shook my head, the tears still flowing. "But how can we tr
We continued to walk with Seraphina. Ansel followed behind us, despite my reassurances that I would be okay. His distrust of Seraphina was evident, and he couldn’t bring himself to leave me alone with her.Was I angry about his protective behaviour? No.Was I complaining? Not at all. In fact, I appreciated how much more protective and caring Ansel had been these past few months. He wouldn’t even let an ant land on my hair.I didn't know what I did to deserve such a man after being rejected by Edric, but I knew the goddess had better plans for me. From a prisoner and a despised little omega, thought to be cursed by my pack, to the Luna of the entire Titanic Wave—my journey had been incredible.As we walked, I wondered why Edric hadn't attended my coronation. Neither he nor his so-called Luna, Melissa, had shown up. Was there something I didn’t know? I turned back to Ansel, and he waved at me, as if to tell me to stop overthinking.He could hear my thoughts because of our bond. I pushed
Seraphina slowly got up from where I had left her and walked slowly to where I was. I didn't know what to think anymore. It felt like I had been fed lies when I was still young. I still couldn't believe that what Seraphina had said was what had happened. All those years, they made me believe that I was the bad guy, while in reality, they were the ones to be blamed.They made me believe that the rumors were true. In reality, they were the ones who destroyed what I had with my family. This was not fair. I couldn't believe people could be that heartless. I didn't know what to believe because I also didn't know if what Seraphina said was the truth, but in strange ways, I could feel her pain. I could tell that she wasn't lying to me at all. That was the reason I couldn't stop believing her either.Her face was swollen, and she looked both miserable and sad at the same time. She came closer to me and looked at me."Y-you are not to be blamed for anything that happened in the past," she beg
“Prepare a feast to celebrate my mother and the fact that we won the battle!” I blurted out suddenly, and all the people around were shocked by my decision.Maybe I was evil. My mother had died, and instead of mourning her, I was preparing for a feast to celebrate.‘No. You are not. That is what she wants you to do. To be happy.’‘Thank you, Serene.’ I had never been so happy with my sassy wolf than today.‘You!’ She shouted, and I laughed.“Okay, a feast to celebrate a new beginning and a new life!” Ansel blurted out, and all the pack members, plus our guests, looked in our direction in shock.“Your queen is expecting an heir.” Maybe they didn't hear when my mother talked about her grandson. I didn't know.“Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave! Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave!” They all chorused, and Ansel helped me up.“Where is Edric? He wasn't at the battle?” I asked as Ansel led me in the direction of the stairs.“Three of his council members died, so he had to go.”“It was my m
In one swift move, I was already on my heels and outside the room as if I wasn’t the one who was unwell. The only thing I could hear now was, ‘My mother!’She would be fine, right? Nothing would happen to her, right?Just a moment ago, we had been together, fighting side by side. What might have happened to her just now?All those thoughts kept replaying in my mind as I ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and into another hallway that led to the living hall. Something popped into my mind and I froze. She had no heart! She was living like a shadow!“Nooo!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as I increased my speed. Right now, I couldn't hear anyone speaking to me. I couldn’t see anyone beside me. All I wanted to see was Seraphina, my mother. Reaching the hall, my eyes started tearing up as I saw the woman on the couch, surrounded by some maids and other people I couldn’t recognize at this moment. I rushed to her and knelt on the floor, closer to the couch.“Baby girl.” She calle
The earth heaved, revealing hidden hundreds of witches clad in black, each with the same eerie white cross on their foreheads. Their village, previously hidden by powerful spells, now stood exposed before us.I swallowed hard and turned to Seraphina and she also turned to me."I am so proud of you, I myself didn't know that spell, how did you know it?"I averted my gaze away from her, "I also didn't know how I was able to perform it.""Do you believe that indeed, you were meant to save the wolf's species?" I nodded but the waves of shock rippled through me and by the whispers behind me, I could sense the shock in all of my people too.I could also sense the astonishment in the eyes of the soldiers and our allies. If not for the witches' attacks, we would have passed by this hidden stronghold, unaware of the danger lurking within.The witches, realising their concealment had failed, quickly regrouped. Forming a tight circle, they clasped hands and began chanting. Their voices rose in
EDNA POVMy breath came in shallow bursts as the trucks rumbled towards the witches' territory. It was time, time to pat back to the wiches for what they did to our brothers and sisters.I glanced around at my companions: Seraphina, her trusted confidante, sat beside her, while Coline lounged in the corner with an air of detachment. I had decided to suppress the need to ask her what she meant earlier because I could already see through her that she thought I was weak and that maybe, I used my beauty to be Ansel's mate.Silly her to judge me like that.How stupid was he to forget that there were also fate? That I was Ansel's fated mate?Indeed some people could be crazy and mad."Stay alert," Ansel's voice crackled over the radio-like. "We’re close."Immediately after I heard that, my heart started pounding in my chest. Suddenly, a loud screech filled the air as the lead truck swerved violently. What was going on?I turned my eyes in a bullet pace in front as we were at the top of
Edna's hands trembled slightly as she tightened the last strap of her armour.The preparations had been very tiresome to both of them, leaving her no time to question Ansel about the unfamiliar figures who had arrived earlier. Now, as everything was done, curiosity gnawed at her and she couldn't be silent anymore.She moved quietly through the hall towards her mate, Ansel, her mind focused on the impending battle but unable to shake her curiosity. Ansel was conferring with a group of warriors when she approached him. She leaned in close, her voice a soft whisper."Ansel, who were those two men and the woman with King Roshan earlier?"Ansel's eyes widened momentarily in realisation. He turned to her, a sheepish smile on his lips. "I am sorry, my love. I should have introduced them to you. Ooh no, why have I forgotten to do that and you are the qeen of wolves? You should be aware of who they are." He raised his voice, catching the attention of the mysterious guests."STEVE?" Ansel cal
Ansel sighed, his eyes softening as he looked at Edna. "I have to check on the warriors and make sure the cars are ready for our departure."Edna’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening. She threw off the pink robe, walked to the wardrobe, and pulled out a pair of trousers and a blue shirt. With quick, angry motions, she dressed herself, her movements sharp and agitated."Do you think I’m weak?" she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. "Is that why you want me to sleep while you go and prepare for the war with your men?"Ansel stepped towards her, his hands raised in a placating gesture. "No, Edna. You need rest for tomorrow. It’s not because I think you’re weak. You’re anything but that. How could you even conclude that?"Tears welled up in Edna’s eyes, and she cried, her shoulders shaking with the force of her sobs. Ansel was taken aback, shocked by her sudden burst of emotions. He rushed to her and hugged her from behind, murmuring sweet words into her ear.This woman was everyt
Ansel tenderly tucked a loose strand of hair behind Edna's ear, his touch gentle and reassuring. "I’m ready for the war," he murmured, his voice steady and confident. "Especially after what I have witnessed today, it's high time I do anything to avenge the wolves that lost their lives and also to stop this ones and for all."He then softened his gaze at her and added, "Thank you for trying to get information from those witches. I didn't expect you would do that alone to help me."Edna looked away, her shoulders slumping slightly. "I wish I could have gotten more. We need every advantage we can get."Ansel shook his head, lifting her chin so she would meet his eyes carefully. "What you found out is enough. You’re the most hardworking Luna this pack has ever had. The most courageous queen of Titanic Wave. And the first to be its queen, what else could I ask for feom the goddess? I have everything in you."A faint smile touched Edna's lips, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. "You’re
Ansel and Amos reached the packhouse in the middle of the night, their hearts heavy with the events of the day.Everything just happened fast. And as the days passed, many of their people were dying and Ansel just hoped that the higher house that made laws for all creatures would notice this and help him before it was too late.He could deal with everything himself but as law makers and people who pretended to be holy according to Ansel, they were supposed to open their eyes and see that the wolf species were at risk.But again, Ansel was aware who those people were. They were just corrupt beasts who were a bunch of good for nothing, lazy people who depended on others for information.Ansel ousted back those annoying thoughts then turned to the packhouse in front of him.The packhouse stood tall and silent, the moon casting long shadows over its wooden structure.Ansel moved with purpose, his grip on Sophia gentle yet firm as he carried her into a room adjacent to Jack's.At the time,
THIRD PERSON POV Ansel and Amos moved swiftly through the dense forest, their powerful legs propelling them forward as they leapt over fallen trees and navigated the rugged terrain. Their wolves had taken over and they were like beasts now, very huge and powerful with furs all over their bodies and claw-like fingers. The night air was thick with tension, and the moon cast an eerie glow on their path and on their wolf nature, causing them to be more powerful than before. After all, wolves were creatures we depended mostly on the moon to give them strength. Ansel’s mind was a storm of rage and sorrow, the news of the slaughter weighing heavily on his heart. The black witches had gone too far. How could they so heartless to kill over twenty wolves? That was mass murder and Ansel as the King of wolves, he needed to act swift. Or else, his people would suffer the consequences. When they finally reached the village, the scene that greeted them was one of unspeakable horror. The onc
