~Xander~

I watched the elders as they scampered out of the throne room one after the other. Someone has started a rebellion because of Romulus’s death and the capture of his Pack.

The elders have brought the matter before, begging me to release the pack to Romulus’s heir.

“Alpha, please, have a rethink on your decision. These rebels might start a war against our Pack,” one of the elders brought up an issue that has been finalized.

I snapped my angry eyes at him and he shuddered.

“If they want war, then they will get war. I, Alexander Lucius, surrender to no one!”

My declaration got him bowing humbly in respect.

“Forgive me, Alpha, your word is our command,” he quickly cleared up his previous comment and scampered off.

I sighed and slumped into my throne, chuckling at their weakness.

How can they be afraid of a rebellion started by Romulus’s son? If I can destroy Romulus, who is his son?

“Alpha…” a familiar voice muttered in the throne room.

I looked up and scoffed

    ~Elena~I sat in front of the mirror, wondering why Luna Violetta hadn’t come to see me. I sighed and dropped my head down in dejection. Is she still upset with me? Does she still think I’m going to hurt her, does she believe that I hate her? I shook my head and slowly stood up from the chair. Glacia was making my bed when I walked up to her. She spun around and raised her eyebrows in curiosity. “I need some fresh air,” I muttered She shrugged, hesitating to let me go. “I will go with you,” Glacia insisted. I shook my head negatively. “No, I want to go alone,” I insisted. “The Alpha instructed me never to let you out of my sight,” Glacia stood her ground, shaking her head vigorously. I sighed, pondering on how to convince Glacia to let me go. “Glacia…” Glacia crooned her neck in my direction and threw an indifferent expression at me. “I’m sorry, my lady, I can’t let you go.” I frowned upon her behavior, why am I beseeching her? I’m her Luna and her mistre

    ~Nathan~My outburst made her feet stop functioning.“Don’t you want to know who the beast is?” I muttered, knowing that she wouldn’t walk away from such a tempting topic. I knew she had gone to the restricted area to find the beast. This is the perfect way to separate Elena from Xander. Making the other feel betrayed and lied to. She turned around slowly and fixed her glaring eyes on me.“What do you have up your sleeve this time around,” she snapped, I could tell from the tone of her voice that she was secretly eager to hear what I wanted to reveal.“Have you ever wondered why the Alpha is ignorant concerning the beast?” I questioned and she furrowed her brows.My heart skipped in excitement when I discovered that she had been immersed in the conversation.“You are supposed to be answering my questions, not the other way round,” her snap made me bat my lashes in surprise.I nodded and cleared my throat to blurt out the secret Alpha Xander has been keeping from her; no,

    ~Xander~ My question made Nathan shudder in shock. He stuttered in defense and tried to hide the shaking fingers. After all the warnings and punishment, he dared go after Elena again. “I wanted to ask for her forgiveness,” Nathan muttered and I scoffed. I could tell from his eyes that he was telling a lie. “Look into my eyes and say it,” I ordered. He looked at me and furrowed his brows, his lips suddenly became parched. “Repeat what you said,” I muttered. His lips opened and shut as he stared at me in dismay. “I…” he trailed, finding it hard to complete his statement. “I?” I muttered. He took a step back in guilt. “You were lying to me,” I spoke up, and he shook his head, taking another step away from me. I grabbed him by the collar and tossed him to the ground. He choked on his breath and released a raspy cough. This time around, no one will be able to save him; there will be no form of mercy; I’ll kill him myself and in the most brutal way ever. I dragge

    ~Elena~“My lady, are you feeling well? You look so pale,” Glacia gasped as she examined my body.I whisked my hand away from Glacia’s grip, sighing loudly.The kind of emptiness I was feeling can’t be described. The moment I left Xander’s room that day, I felt like a part of me died. And yes, a part of me truly died because Xander wouldn’t spare me a glance let alone talk to me.I haven’t even caught a glance of him; for three days, Xander has avoided me like a plaque.I visit the field every day, but Xander refuses to show up. He also instructed that I shouldn’t be allowed into his room.“I must have been so foolish at that moment, don’t you think, Glacia?” I repeated the same question that I’ve constantly asked her these past three days.Glacia shrugged and repeated the same answer she had been offering.“I don’t think it was foolishness; you are kindhearted, and it pushed you to stand against the Alpha. Don’t worry, he’ll come around,” she replied.“You’ve been saying t

    ~Elena~ Xander didn’t look back as he walked hand in hand into the shade with Aurora. “What is the Alpha doing with Lady Aurora?” Glacia whispered as our eyes trailed them. Glacia helped me to straighten up my body. Tears gathered around my eyes so I bit my lips to stop them from spewing out. “Should we leave, my lady?” Glacia asked. I sighed and spared Xander another glance before shaking my head. “No, I’m not leaving. I have to make things right between Xander and me,” I muttered and began to trudge to the shade where they were. Glacia gasped and grabbed my hand. “No, what if the Alpha gets upset with you?” Glacia warned, urging me to come back but I refused to relent to her persuasion. “You can go back, I’m going to stand beside my mate,” I replied bluntly and whisked my hand away from her grip before flouncing away. Glacia watched until I had entered the shade before she shuffled away. “What are you doing here?” His cold nerve, nerve-breaking voice

    ~Elena~ There was no ounce of remorse or guilt in those dark blue eyes that stared into my eyes. I couldn’t stop my body from shaking, the more I stared at them, the blurrier my vision got. Why? Why is he doing this to me? How can he betray like this with that witch, Aurora? I tried to talk, but my lips refused to move; they only trembled as I gasped depressingly for breath and life. Aurora crooned her neck and smiled in triumph as she directed a mocking stare at me. I couldn’t take in the mockery and resentment being shot at me by Xander and Aurora. I kept on staggering back until I was out of the room. I took in a deep breath and finally let the tears that clouded my eyes roll out freely. I didn’t know how I was able to make it to my room without losing consciousness. Once I entered the room, Glacia rushed towards me and gasped in horror. “My lady, what happened to you? You look like a ghost!” Glacia gasped and grabbed my shoulder, shaking my lifeless

    ~Elena~ I scoffed as I straightened up, glaring murderously at Aurora who was in turn smirking at me. “Get out of my way; I need to see Xander,” I growled and made to shove past Aurora, but she grabbed my hand and pushed me back to the wall, then pinned me on it. “Let me go!” I bellowed, struggling with Aurora and the guards. “Xander! Xander, talk to me; please say something,” I kept screaming at the top of my voice. No one came out of the room. Xander didn’t show his disgusting face or help me out. He has truly left me, he has stabbed me multiple times with the poisonous and dreaded dagger of deception. The agonizing sound of my shattering heart made me break to pieces. All life left me, all breath vanished from my grasp. “Come on, get out. Can’t you see that no one wants you here?” Aurora sneered waving her fingers at me. She gripped my shoulder and tossed my limp body to the floor, sending a kick into my back. “Get out, stop being a nuisance,” Aurora snapped at m

    ~Elena~ I stood in front of the little cottage staring longingly at it. I can’t even tell how I was able to find my way back to the cottage I grew up in. It was already getting dark so the labor for the day must have ended. The cold atmosphere and dark clouds overhead predicted a storming shower of rain tonight. As if to confirm its prediction quickly, it began to drizzle slightly. I shuddered as the first drop of rain came in contact with my pale skin. The intensity increased yet it wasn’t fierce enough to propel me to the front door of our cottage. I squatted down to the ground and hid my face in my palm, letting my bitter tears mix with the furious shower, forming a strange connected alliance with it. Soon, my body got weaker and began to shake violently. My teeth chattered against each other, and sometimes it would unintentionally sink into my tongue, making me cry out loud in pain. “Is someone there?” a familiar masculine voice sank into my ear and my head shot up.

    ~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
