Annabel’s POV

“Pretty Liza, up for a challenge?” I instantly looked back to be met by the view of a grinning Chris.

If there’s one thing I like about this park, it’s surely Chris. I still feel unsafe with people, but there is this peace I can’t place my hands on around him.

“Sure! Why not? I replied with a subtle smile on my face.

We chatted as we walked down to the arena that is situated in the middle of the park. The arena has so many segments, ranging from adult warriors, kids, the Alpha family, the Beta family, and the general arena for members of the park.

My gaze drifted to the kids' arena and it caught sight of a little boy fighting with all his might, he kept standing after every pull-down. His actions made me stop in my tracks.

“Isn’t it funny how these kids have such great dreams at such tender ages?” Chris asked as I stopped walking.

“I find it amusing Chris,” my mind flashed back to the dream I used to have as a kid, and nostalgia settled on my face for a second. “I’m gla

    Leonard’s POVDerek shot me a deadly glare once he entered my study running his gaze up and down like a detective. “Don’t tell me…” he trailed off. “Drop the topic, Derek,” I said as I picked up the last document on the floor.Truth be told, no one would have noticed anything off about my study if not for Derek.Asking a maid to do the cleaning would have been a nice idea, but that would mean one thing, my parents knowing I was around and bombarding me with questions about when I’d be settling down with my own Luna. A conversation I so much detest at the moment. “You did again?” his voice came to a little above whisper with an annoying smirk playing his cheeks.Sometimes I wonder how he’s my best friend and my future Beta. Being the future Alpha of the most dreaded Pack in the North comes with so many burdens and responsibilities, hence the need to have loyal subjects.Derek has been one of those people that can be trusted and if not for his loyalty and how he has grown to be the bro

    Annabel’s POVThe warmth of the morning sunlight sent me a warm kiss as I opened my eyes. Soft, golden rays peeked through the curtains, enveloping me with an uplifting energy. I feel better with each passing day. The ballet lessons with the girls have been nothing short of amazing. I was a bad dancer in my past life, but now I dance effortlessly and even teach.I had always wanted to learn ballet as a child and was mum was ready to teach me how to dance. Unfortunately, I had lost her before we could hold any lesson on ballet.“Once mini Anny is here, mum is going to teach big Anny ballet.” those were her words, the promise she didn’t get to keep.For a second, I clung to my sheets, I miss her so much. I wish she hadn’t left, I wouldn’t be in this mess. Dad wouldn’t have married that evil woman and Alex wouldn’t have cheated on me with Zoe.I checked the time and it was past eight, I stood up to have a warm bath. As the water cascaded down my body washing away the night’s slumber, I

    Zoe’s POV“No, that isn’t fair,” the maid beside Sarah mumbled, “No one knows what happened.” “We were all there, Zoe exposed her,” Sarah retorted while rolling her eyes.“She was a disgrace to the pack, the mind to poison her stepmother?” she scoffed.“You can’t just conclude that way… what if?Sarah cut the other girl of, “What if what? What if she wasn’t sleeping around disgracing the Alpha? Or what if there was no secret? What if she didn’t reject her mate a day before their wedding?”“Exactly Sarah! The ‘what ifs’ are many and we shouldn’t slander a dead girl when we don’t even know the truth,” she said shaking her head out of pity.“She was a nice girl who would not tarnish the image of her father unlike…” she paused to look around, “unlike that bitch that one has to walk on edges around,” her cheeks curved up in a dry smirk.I couldn’t believe my ears. Did a maid just call me ‘bitch?’ Since the duo couldn’t see me or sense me, I decided to lean closer to the kitchen door and l

    **********----------**********“Hey love,” he called out seductively. “Where have you been leaving this gorgeous man all alone?”I walked closer to him, pulling off the jacket and biting my lower lips softly, “Hmmm… How much does this gorgeous man miss me?” I said, sitting on his lap, and running my fingers through his hair.“So much to make you rush down here upon hearing my voice,” he said, tickling me with his firm fingers.“You literally scared me, you know,” I said, placing a kiss on his temple and continuing to run my fingers down his neck.“You left me all day long, I needed to draw your attention,” his coarse voice was making my garden jolt in excitement.“What do you desire?” I kissed his plum lips which he returned as he drew me closer. “You… You are my desire,” he mumbled as he ran his fingers down my spine, sending jitters through my body.“She never made you feel this way right?” I muttered as I pushed him to the bed while taking off my dress revealing my body. I made su

    Leonard’s POV“Help me. Keep my secret. I would do anything you want,” her eyes pleading as desperation etched into every line of her face.The memories of that night won’t stop playing in my head. I had felt the urge to reveal her true identity, to tell the world that the woman is not who they all think she is.“I didn’t ask for this. I’ve been trying to make a sense of it ever since,” she had said with so much confusion in her voice. Yet, her words made no sense to me.The more I think about that night, the more hatred I feel towards her. What if all she told me were lies? A part of me desperately wished it was all a scheme or prank.She’s responsible for all the mess happening to me now, yet a part of me wants to know the truth. What truth lies behind her story?As much as I hate to admit it, I know she had said the truth about being a different soul in the body of my Liza, but it’s so much confusing that my wolf still draws me to her.“They are gone!” Derek’s voice streamed throu

    Annabel’s POV“Happy birthday Dad,” I giggled as I wrapped him in the most warm embrace you can imagine. He reciprocated by pulling me closer and grinned like a baby.The hallway was filled with members of the Glassland pack, and different members of other packs who had come to felicitate with Dad. Blazing music was at its pitch, people chatting, laughing, and vibing to the music. Everyone seemed so happy.The party had begun and the servers were everywhere making sure everyone had what they wanted. Whoever walked into the hallway would know that the party was well-planned and anticipated.People came bearing gifts for Dad, a gesture that I found so kind and nice. Unlike many packs, the members would come to dine, whine, and leave without any present to their Alpha.“She looks so hot…” “She is so pretty…”“I love her dress…”I couldn’t help but hear the different comments splashing from different angles of the hall about me. As much as I enjoy the compliment and all, I wish they’d

    **********----------**********“No, Liza!” “Liza No!!!”A wave of confusion plagued my face as I tugged myself under the duvet. The next moment, I threw the duvet away out of frustration.“Not again!” I gasped, pausing for a second as I stared at the ceiling, confusion written all over me. I stretched forth my hands to the pillow and clung to it as if my life depended on it, blocking the ray of dawn that shimmered through the window.“What do I call this?” I asked no one in particular. The look on his face was taunting and I foolishly wished I knew what happened next.Sluggishly, I sat up on my bed, taking a deep breath to stabilize myself. “It’s nothing serious right?” I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to convince myself this meant nothing.The same dream that keeps plaguing my sleep means nothing. The fact that I keep seeing Leo in my dreams and seeing myself as Liza means nothing. And Amma?Who the heck is Amma? Where do I go in search of answers to my numerous answers? A wave of

    Leonard’s POVJudging by the look on their faces immediately I entered the meeting room, they were not expecting to be called upon at such an odd hour. Well, not like I give a f**k about how they feel.They all stood and bent their heads in submission while I motioned them to have their seats.I hate the fact that these old geese pretend so well, it gets on my nerves to see them act like all is going on smoothly. Yet I was ready to play the game with them.“We were able to apprehend the rogues who attacked Blue Moon Pack…” I scanned them from the corner of my eyes and saw some flicker in their gazes.A smirk sneaked its way to the corners of my lips as one of them looked bothered about what I had said.“Hmmmm…” I heard someone clear their throat and adjusted his tie out of fear. I was getting a lead, but what’s the fun in catching them just like that?Because some of them missed the meeting, it was a clue they were scared to face the consequences of their actions, running away from t

    We all moved in and I held Liza by her shoulder as we walked in.She was shocked and rather than throw tantrums, she chose to act all cool and collected, but I know it's all a font she was putting on.She almost staggered and instantly I held her. With my support, she sat on one of the stools we found in the cave.“Here,” he handed me piled-up documents. I think the right word to use should be 'scrolls.'He must have seen the look on my face, “you might want to share with your ‘team,’ so we can get to business on time,”Why is the emphasis on ‘team,’ isn't that cheap for him to do? I ignored him and handed some copies to others.My face contoured my inquisitiveness to shock to confusion back to shock to anger to frustration to pity to hilarious to shock and back to anger.I've never seen such a thing in my life. What value do you hold that you want to decide someone's fate, life and journey? Are you the Moon goddess?I scoffed in annoyance at the level of stupidity these folks were

    Chris' POV For some weird reason that I couldn't fathom, what I felt was different from what I expected.Rather than feel threatened and anxious about getting to where and what we've been looking out for? I felt calm, collected and confident.I shushed everyone and asked that they squat, so we don't alert our targets.I stepped forward in my squatted position and waved my hand for others to follow.The closer we got to the mouth of the cave, the more calm I felt.Am I under a spell or something? I asked to remind myself of the responsibility at hand.As trivial as it might sound, Liza, Oriel and even these two strangers are my responsibility.If anything should happen to them, I'd bear the consequences.Liza and Oriel had left the Pack to this ‘Goddess knows where’ without informing anyone. I am their only alibi.That means I'm screwed if anything should happen to them. But here I am, feeling so confident in what I don't know.And I never heard of anyone who felt so calm rather than

This was someone I trusted like a sister.I know some would say this is a replay of what transpired between myself and Annabel, but this is different.Rita was such a terrible person. I thought we were a team. Annabel knew I never liked her.And yes, she was too stupid to see all the kindness I was showing was nothing but a script I wrote.She trusted easily. She had the effect coming her way sooner or later. I only helped her reach her destination on time.But right now, I wasn't sure if I should be celebrating the dismissal of Rita or mourning her absence.But for what it's worth, I'm glad no one believed we were on the mission together.If for nothing? Her action -committing suicide just vindicated me.Why commit suicide if she was innocent of the charges as she wanted people to believe?Alex ordered that her corpse be tak

    Zoe's POV I watched in total shock and disappointment at the same time.This is who I referred to as a friend. Judging by how she turned the table about her being the mastermind of hurting Tammy sent shivers down my spine.And now, Tammy has been asked to speak and if her story is plausible, that means Rita must have had a hand in what happened on my wedding day.“It turned out it was her,” she pointed toward Rita,” I couldn't believe both my eyes and ears. What was Rita doing in a room my father had banned everyone from entering?“Don't fall for her lies. She's lying. Your Alpha must have promised her something,” she started shedding tears again.I wonder if she filtering the trash coming out of her mouth. Which of the Alpha would promise a maid something to lie about?Alex or my father?“Ohhhh… are you insinuating my father bribed this ‘thing’” pointing at Tammy, “to lie for him? What is his goal? Answer me, you traitor,” I was livid to hear her try to rope my father and Alex int

    I gladly hopped on the boat that would sail me to the limelight in the presence of these gullible people gathered.“If you claimed to have given her something to counter the effect of the deadly injection, then how come she's proclaimed dead? Where is she?”Olive flinched at the sound of my yell. I didn't mean to startle her, it was meant for Zoe who stood still beside me.Her feet stuck to the ground like glue. I could feel her vibrating beside me, her only prayer- may Tammy be dead. Not only was she scared, she felt embarrassed. If Tammy is alive? She's done for.The silence that followed from Olive gave her a taste of hope until it was dashed like it was never there,“There she is,” Olive said quietly and Tammy walked towards us.“There's a ghost!” Someone from the crowd shouted.I detest standing these people, but since I can't say it to their face? I'd have to keep playing along.How can someone be so dumb to say, “Here comes the one who had seen the moon goddess and she's back

    Alex's POV Playing along as if Tammy was in real danger was fun. I mean, what else could be more interesting than the look of rejoicing on Zoe's face?She looked like the whole world had come to worship her in her glory and graciousness.On our way to the hospital, she kept sighing and acting so weird.To others, especially those who haven't had a personal encounter with her, she was being sympathetic and being a ‘good Luna who cares for her people.As for the ones who had met ‘Zoe’ they knew it was all a façade. Looking at the situation we met at the hospital- people were gradually gathering together to know what was going on.Side talks about Tammy passing on and how good she was.“I'm afraid she won't make it this time around Alpha,” the doctor said in a professional yet sympathetic tone.“No Doctor, you can't say that. You have no idea what this family has been through just to see that young woman hale and hearty,“We can't lose her like that, Doctor. You have to do something ab

    Now, I began to understand what Tricia was trying to say. If one had gotten injured by those arrows, you'd end up in their den.By luck, if you don't, you won't get far. Because the arrows were laced with poison.Maybe they aren't as dumb as I thought. But sadly, they are no match for this opponent of theirs.They are still learning. “What the h*** was that?” Derek blurted out deeply, trying to catch his breath.“Are you seriously breathing so heavily? You must have gone weak bro,” I teased“Are you kidding me? Do you think I have gone weak? Have you seen the way your biceps keep heaving up and down?” He burst into laughter I joined in the laughter, “Man, your weakness is as a result of your loneliness,” A scoff instantly left his mouth, and that's him dismissing the topic I was trying to bring up. “Loneliness you say? That's so rich coming from you. But not to worry, Derek got you always,” he playfully spanked my shoulder“You know if I didn't know better, I would say something is

    Leo's POV As much as I love to watch offenders suffer, I don't normally torture them myself. I love to watch how they break and forsake all they used to stand for. But for a few occasions when it pleases me? I torture them myself. “She keeps asking and pleading that she sees you,” Derek broke the silence that's been sitting soothingly.Like an uninterested lover in his spouse's ranting, I kept my face right on what we were working on, and “why?” Came my response.“I don't think I have the right answer to that. I'm sorry,” what's he sorry for? Derek!“So, she's just whining to see me without a reason. Why should I grant her request then?” I asked curiously “The guards keep saying throughout her torture, she wouldn't stop saying she's got something important to tell you and she can't say it to them,” Well, after hearing that- maybe I should go hear whatever she has to say. She had given us a rough mental sketch of their hideout, or at least where she had been initiated. I wondere

    Chris' POVI set out of the pack after one of my men told me about a lead to their hideout.I know Liza didn't fully buy the whole idea of staying behind with Oriel, but what I didn't expect was for them to tail me.I could sense their scent so strongly and I don't know why it's that way. Maybe it's because I'm used to the two being around me a lot.I kept going, never for once did I make them feel like I knew about their presence.Getting to the thick woods, I was attacked by a group of rogues. I didn't want to hurt them.Truth is, lately, I've been feeling more powerful than usual. It's as if my body is going through a face of transfiguration.I've avoided training with Liza for this very course- I do not want to hurt her.And that's why I've stretched my hand of peace to these rogues the moment they had me in their ring.But I couldn't just stand and watch them come at me, especially when I was on a mission.So, when one of them charged at me, I humbled him.
