I stared at the door Aurora had walked through. Her words kept bouncing around my mind, pulling strings of torment at me.

It can’t be true, the Alpha didn’t accept me as his mate to watch me die, is that a way of giving me an easy death?

I shook my head again and sighed.

His cold behavior towards me clearly shouted out that he didn’t love me. The way he looked at Aurora, smiled at her and talked to her gave me a huge clue that he didn’t want me but her.

The door swung open and the voice I’ve forever been evading sank into my ear.

“How are you feeling now, Elena?”

I spun around, glaring at Nathan’s face.

“Well, as you can see, I’m fine,” I snapped.

I still can’t understand where this unusual courage comes from whenever I am with him.

He smiled wryly, tilting his neck nervously.

“The Alpha’s lover seems to be a sassy lady,” I was finally beginning to start a conversation, unusually.

He swerved his head in my direction, and his wide shocked eyes stared at me. I smiled ruefully

    ~Nathan~“What the hell do you think you are doing, Nathan?!” I can see the fear build up in Elena’s eyes as Xander’s angry voice shoots through the room. She roughly pushed me away and rushed into the bathroom, banging the door loudly. My eyes trailed from the closed door to Xander’s angry face. Aurora was hovering behind him, a smirk splattered across her smug face. “What are you doing?” Xander repeated, his eyes burning in fury. “I just came to check up on her,” I replied, perspirations covered my palms as his gaze tore my flesh away and burned into my bones and marrows. “That was not what I saw!” he stamped his feet and the marble beneath his feet made cracking sounds. “I…I..” My eyes stared at the floor. “Thank you for coming, Nathan, I appreciate your concern for my health, unlike some people,” Elena said behind me. I spun around sharply and looked at her in surprise, did she just speak up for me? Her eyes were haughtily fixed on Xander’s face. The anger on his face

    ~Alexander~Calm freezing air swept through my open window and swept hard on my face. My eyes remained blank as the air stung into them.I was putting on my favorite dark plain coat over a dark shirt and pants.The door opened and Mother walked into the room. I can tell by her jittery voice that she was extremely happy.Her chattering stopped when she saw me standing by the window, gazing up at the dark space.“What are you doing there?” Her footsteps hastily approached me. I sighed and turned around, she gasped as her eyes trailed from my disarrayed head to my feet.“Why are you dressed like that!” she snapped, glaring daggers at me. I rolled my eyes, unconcerned.“It’s just dinner with someone I’ll be seeing every day,” I groaned. Her glare increased and she fumed in anger.“Must you always have a problem with everything?” she yelled.“Must you always have a problem with my dressing?” I replied, nonchalantly.“This is your Luna we’re talking about here!”

    The knife I was holding dropped and his eyes darkened in anger.“Are you afraid?” His voice came out rough and husky.I shook my head vigorously, my heart constantly skipped beats in fear of the unknown before me.The mesmerizing blue eyes turned dark as they stared dangerously at me.“You are afraid,” he sighed and leaned back into his chair, crossing his large arms across his broad chest. “I am not,” I blurted out. “Why will I be scared of you? It’s not like you can harm me even if you wish to, with or without a heart you’re still my fated mate.” I couldn’t stop my tongue from rolling out those words. Was it fear that was lubricating the flow of those words? I couldn’t tell.A sinister smile tugged on the corner of his lips as he rubbed his chin, staring at me in amusement.“Hmmm,” he muttered, his blue eyes smiling at my face.My eyes widened as I realized my mistake. I had called him ‘mate!’ Gosh, Elena do you have to be so stupid all the time? I shook my head and tabbe

    From my window, I gazed down at the trainees running around the field. Since morning, I’ve been lazily hanging around my window, hoping to find him among the trainees, yet no sign of Xander. My patience was gradually dwindling as I paced around, skeptically. “Are you sure he won’t disappoint me again?” I whispered to myself. “Are you okay, my Lady? You’ve been acting all anxious since morning, you haven’t even touched your breakfast,” Glacia said and I turned, faking a smile.“Are you sure? Is this because of your dinner date with the Alpha?” Glacia asked, I kept mute, hiding my face to conceal the pink fingers already spreading on my face. “You must have felt lonely, the Alpha was so cold, wasn’t he?” she giggled. I looked at Glacia. I have come to take her as an elder sister, she reminds me so much of Melsa. Glacia is 19 years old, a year older than me, though she doesn’t have a mate yet. “It wasn’t so bad, I enjoyed his company,” I said, smiling. Glacia's mouth fell open in

    My eyes widened as my face flushed at her words. “I…uh…” I stammered and lowered my crimson face to the ground. “Woah, you’re entirely different, you know?” She said and I looked up. “What?” “You’re special, no one ever calls him by his name. Even his mate wasn’t privileged to do that.” My face heated up. I looked at the training field and found his eyes on me, my throat knotted and I quickly looked away. “He has been staring at you,” Glacia whispered, mischief resounding in her voice. “Stop trying to make me feel better,” I groaned. She giggled and lay down, her face pointed to the sky. “Do you know that of all the women that had a thing with the Alpha, you’re the only one that is friendly with servants,” Glacia changed the perturbing topic. “Really ?” “Yes, you’re just like Luna Violetta. The other Lunas and mistresses are just as cold and proud as the Alpha. You’re completely different.” I remembered that Xander had told me that I was different last night. Did he also ta

    My little body melted into his, I was slowly enjoying the effect it had on my belly. Uncountable butterflies played around my belly, giving me nauseous feelings. We rode through beautiful landscapes and flowing springs. Xander didn’t stop for a moment to let me take a second glimpse at the wonderful creations around me. If there’s a warmth much safer than the haven I was in, I don’t know. His large strong hands protectively wrapped around me, his huge body proudly towered behind mine like a protective shield. I love the comfort I was getting in his arms, I love the tension the brushing of his skin against mine gave me. My head rested on his hard chest as his hot breath fanned my hair and teased my neck. We got to a dark wood and the horse trotted to a stop. He slowly let go of the reins and got down from the horse, he stretched out his hands and cupped me into his arms, dropping me cautiously on the ground. He led the horse to a spot and tied it to a tree. “Be a good boy, Arlene,

    ~Alexander~A smirk curved up at the corner of my lips as I watched her confused expression. “What do you mean?” She asked, staring at the arrangement on the grass. “Isn’t this what you wanted?” I asked, trying to sound as nice as possible. “Come with me,” I ordered, not giving her a chance to express her opinions. I pulled her to a carpet and made her sit. “Eat,” I ordered again. She didn’t move a limb from where she sat, she only stared sheepishly at the food. “I’m not hungry,” she whispered. “Eat,” I said again. Why am I forcing her to do things she doesn’t want to do? That is a question I keep asking myself, strangely, I’m yet to find an answer. I’m trying so hard to suppress the powers bubbling to unleash on her. Elena is a nice naïve girl, a weak Omega who must remain weak to survive. But even if she’s weak, will she survive the cruel fate glaring at her? She doesn’t deserve to end up like the previous Lunas and that is why she must remain submissive and obey every

    ~Elena~“I’m sure she’s not the one, how can a common weak Omega kill a wizard?”Xander’s curt words made my eyes snap open. “Perhaps, there’s something we don’t know about her,” Nathan responded. I glanced around the dark room I was kept in. Where am I? Perhaps, it was the physician’s room though the bed felt different, it reminded me of my bed back in my room. I slowly and soundlessly ran my hands over the edges of the large bed. This isn’t a physician’s bed, this is no doubt my bed. “I doubt that,” Xander answered. They were still unaware of my consciousness. “Why do you always take her so weak?” Nathan snapped. “Isn’t she weak?” Xander replied coldly. I turned my head in the direction of their voice, I couldn’t see their face due to the poorly illuminated room. “I still believe there’s something mysterious about her,” Nathan muttered. “Just shut up, Nathan!” Xander growled and I cringed at the volume of venom in his voice. “You’re only defending her because she’s your mat

    ~Elena(Louisa)~ It was hard trying to convince Kayla and my foster parents to let me go, though they had no other choice but to heed my request. I was told that I was found floating on the shore of a beach the day they found me. They took me to the hospital and had me saved but when I woke up, I couldn’t remember anything about myself, not even my name. My foster parents, who had lost their daughter a month before they found me, took me in and named me after her, Louisa Neville. I was given the nickname ‘Luna’ because they thought I had a peculiar scent that didn’t belong to the human race. It was hard being who I wasn’t and leaving who I was but somehow, the cruel fate that separated Xander and I eight years ago was able to bring us back together, this time in a different way, in the best way. I wasn’t a contract Luna, nor Nathan’s mate. I was Alpha Xander’s true Luna, his fated mate. And this time around, nothing will be able to separate me and Xander. “Are you

    ~Xander~ I touched her pale face, tracing her chin with my fingers slowly. She stirred and fluttered her lashes, groaning loudly as her hand flew to her forehead. “Elena?” I called out even if she might decline to be Elena like she did the first time we met. Her eyes snapped open and she sat up on the bed. She glanced around the room and her eyes fell on her parents and sisters. "Mother, father," she gasped out and my brows snapped up in surprise. They gasped out and wrapped their hands around her. "I missed you so much, sister," Areola sobbed and hugged her. Melsa walked closer to Elena and rubbed her cheeks. "You are alive?" she muttered with tears glistening in her eyes. I watched Elena nod her head before burying her head on her shoulder. Elena's father glanced at me and gestured for the others to leave the room with him. I was the last person her eyes fell on and when it did, it widened in shock. “Xander,” the sound of my name from her mouth made me raise my

    ~Louisa~ My lips parted, and I let out a scream that got Kayla running into my room. My door burst open, and I clenched unto Kayla, who rushed to me. “Wolf, wolf!” I exclaimed, pointing at the spot I found it earlier but to my surprise, there was nothing there. Was the wolf gone, or was I hallucinating? “There is nothing there,” Lisa’s annoying voice spoke up. “Tell me what happened, honey, calm down,” Kayla muttered, rubbing my back soothingly. I took in a deep breath and started my explanation. “I saw a wolf, a huge black wolf, standing right there,” I pointed at the spot again. Lisa chuckled in disbelief. I narrowed my eyes at her and faced Kayla. “You need to believe me, Kay, it was standing right there, staring at me with golden eyes. It must have run into the woods when I screamed, I saw it!” I screamed out. My heart sank when I saw the look on Kayla’s face. She doesn’t believe me too, she thought I was making it all up. “I’m not making it up,” I whispered

    ~Louisa~ The shrill ringtone of my phone got me groaning as I forcefully snapped my eyes open and reached out for my phone, which had been ringing for half an hour. I gasped out loudly as my mom’s name flashed across the screen. “Hello, mummy,” I muttered, sitting up on the bed. “What took you so long to answer your phone, huh? I’ve been calling for hours; I thought something bad had happened to my sweet baby. You got us all so worried that I thought I would die of heartache. Isn’t the place nice? Do you want to switch—” “Mom, I’m fine!” I snapped, making her stop her endless talk. I heard her sigh in relief. “Why didn’t you pick up your calls? We called for hours.” “I was asleep, and besides, it’s not even up to an hour since I fell asleep,” I replied, narrowing my eyes at the exaggeration she was making. “Whatever, whatever, tell me how that place is, hmm? Do you like it?” “Well…” This is my chance to get away from the weird surroundings that no one loves to come

    ~Louisa~ I pushed Jason away and when I spun around, the stranger was gone. I faced Jason, filled with anger. “Are you crazy?” “Luna—” “I don’t like you!” My outburst made Kayla cringe back in shock. Jason’s lips parted and slammed together. I sighed out, trying to calm down after what he had done. “I’m sorry, Jason, I understand how you feel about me, but I don’t feel the same way for you,” I confessed. Kayla walked up to us and tried to talk me out of what I was saying but I shooed her out, standing on my words. “I don’t love you, Jason. You should find someone who does.” My heart shrank in guilt as disappointment and pain laced across his face. “Thank you for telling me the truth, Louisa,” he replied and walked away, not sparing a glance. Though I was filled with guilt for hurting him I was glad that I told him the truth before his feelings got deeper. I felt like a burden had been taken out of my heart. A hard slam on my head brought me bac

    ~Louisa~ “Brandon?” I scoffed and turned to take another path but he drew me back, clenching unto my arm. “Hey, let me go!” I yelled. “I have missed you, Luna; let’s get back together again; I promise to be a good boy,” he said, mischief twinkling in his dark eyes. I scowled at him, certain that there was no single ounce of repentance in him. When he didn’t relent to my warnings, I splashed the brandy on his face. The liquid got into his eyes and stung him greatly, forcing him to release me. “You scumbag, don’t you dare show up in front of me again,” I snapped at him and sent my feet into his groin. He cursed loudly and dropped to the ground, his face wrinkling in pain. “That’s for showing your disgusting face in front of me,” I muttered and blessed him with an eye-rolling slap, making him spit out blood. “And that’s for saying shit.” I grabbed a bottle of liquor and cups and went down to the place I had left Nat. As expected, she was waiting patiently for me. “

    ~Xander~ I stood by the window, watching the cars that drove in and out of the large gate of the castle. “Dear,” Mother’s voice piped behind me, and I shifted my attention away from the bustling activities below the castle. “Are you still drinking?” Mom asked and I glanced at the bottle of liquor on the table. “You don’t have to worry about me, Mother; I am fine,” I muttered, cupping her cheeks. She sighed and rubbed my hairy arm. “The elders are waiting for you in the throne room. It’s been eight years, and you’re yet to find a Luna for the people. Besides, we need an heir, too. Everyone is worried,” Mother muttered, and the smile on my face disappeared. I narrowed my eyes and pulled my wardrobe open then picked out a shirt. “I will wait for Elena to return.” Mother sighed at the words she had been hearing for the past eight years. “No one survives in that water, you said it yourself. She must be dead, she—” “I am leaving for the meeting,” I cut her off, slipping on the sh

    ~Louisa~ “One, two, three, go!” We chorused and poured the shots of liquor down our throats. “Oh shit! This burns,” Kayla muttered in a croaky voice. “I’ve got lots of projects this week,” Philo chipped, popping on a bubble gum. “And here you are drinking,” I chuckled. “Come on guys, what’s the motto!” Natasha snapped and we poured another shot and raised it over our head before screaming our absurd motto. “Drink now, study later!” We poured down the shot and slammed the tumblers on the table, coughing and breathing hard in laughter. “We should come here tomorrow, don’t you girls think so?” Natasha said and they all nodded their head in approval. “What about you, Luna?” Natasha asked, their eyes fixed on me. “Me?” I stammered and shook my head, backing out of the plan. “I’ve got work to do.” “Work?” Philo muttered, twitching her lips in disgust. “Community service.

    ~Xander~“We searched the entire kingdom, Alpha. She is nowhere to be found,” Philip’s voice spoke up behind me.I smashed the vase I was admiring on the wall and spun around with eyes reddened in anger.Philip flinched back on seeing my face.“You searched the entire wolf kingdom?” I scoffed and Philip nodded.“Nathan must have been smart enough to take her away from the wolf lands,” Philip muttered a reply, rubbing his clammy hands against each other.“She hasn’t been found yet?” My mother asked from the doorway.The silence she received made her break into tears.She entered the study room and walked up to me then gripped my collar as she seethed angrily.“You have to find her, Alpha, you must find her!”I shut my eyes, breathing in deeply.All these things are happening because of me. If only I had woken up earlier, Nathan wouldn’t have snatched her out of my grip.How am I going to find her?The beast no longer lives in me, I can no longer track her location using the
