The app has recently launched some new features. Now instead of scrolling down, you can scroll sideways too and turn of the paragraph comments if they bother you. They also have a rewarding system included but I don't know what that is about yet, but I hope the features makes your reading experience smoother. There's also the dark mode but maybe it was always there. Thank you for reading this book and supporting it. It means a lot to me. :)
VERENADad’s face turns rigid. “First he asks everyone to break allegiance with her, now this? How far is the King intending to take it? Makes me think he has a problem with my daughter specifically.” He spits, his eyes sharply challenging Cyrus.Cyrus raises his hands defensively. “I’m just a messenger. In fact, I requested the king to give Verena an option. Otherwise, he was planning to imprison her. After all, he has proof that Ashwalkers have elements of the Goddess Gem in them. So it's obvious to the law that celestial wolves are after this.”“But Rena isn’t just the—” I hold Dad’s hand, and he looks at me.“It’s alright, Dad. I might not be able to prove my innocence because I have no proof. At least the King gave me an option,” I speak in a sad voice, and Dad’s brow dips as he stares at me in shock.“Dad, let me handle this. You act along with me,” I quickly tell him through the mind-link.He hesitates but then calms down. He trusts that whatever I am doing is for a reason.I l
VERENAHe hums. “That’s true.”I have noticed something else. Elijah said the king is threatened by my powers. But if that is the case, then why did Cyrus propose to get married? Are they intending to eliminate the threat by pulling me under the royal family? Or… there’s something else?I turn to Isabella, who stands in one corner of the living room. She was the one who served the drink to Cyrus. “Did you report it to Elijah?” I ask. The girl nods.“The Alpha’s very angry. He says that he’d kill Cyrus if that guy dares to come close to you again,” Isabella says in a calm voice, showing no expression on her face.My cheeks heat up. That’s my sexy beast.Dad looks at me. “What are you planning to do next?”I smirk. “I’m going to spy on Cyrus. I’m sure he’d lead us to the answers we are seeking. Also, I think it’s time we take action.”Dad raises a brow. “You intend to attack the king directly?”I nod. “We don’t have much time left. I won’t be participating in any battles…” I hold my bel
ELIJAHONE YEAR LATER…I press the heel of my shoe against Cyrus’s face. He groans in pain as I have intentionally touched a bruise on his face. We are in the dungeon of my pack and the King’s General is my hostage, his hands and legs tied by a special kind of rope that’s laced with wolfsbane as well other herbs that hurt like a bitch when they touch your skin. Joshua walks in the cell where I stand and cringes when he looks at Cyrus. “The King’s dogs came to investigate. I gave them a good tour through our pack.” He reports, the edge of his lips curling in a smirk. They must be looking for their General who disappeared. “Good,” I kicked Cyrus’s face before retrieving my leg. I wouldn’t have cared much about Cyrus if he didn’t try to take what was mine. He dared to propose to Rena. From that point on, he became the first one on my list to be eradicated. A scum like him doesn't need to live.Cyrus is strong, so it wasn’t easy to capture him. Flashback I am on the run. Joshua, Ir
ELIJAHHe charges at me, his eyes flashing, showing his wolf on the surface. He growls and slams his body into me like a bull, throwing me towards the forest. My head collides with a tree trunk, making me groan in pain. The leaves cascade down the trees on me as I get up and hear Cyrus’s footsteps squelch against the mud. Joshua, Irene and the twins are battling the king’s men, keeping them from attacking me. I am confident with Josh and Irene’s skills, but the twins are new to this. I had trained them well and now it's time for them to show that they are truly capable of being my warriors. Cyrus chuckles as he nears me. “Don’t worry, Elijah. Once Verena and I get married, I’ll take good care of her in bed. Do tell me how she likes to be fucked.” He smirks and his words make my blood boil. I see red everywhere. He shouldn’t have gone there. A strange energy courses through my veins, making my insides turn cold like ice. I growl at him, the sound of it making the earth beneath us
ELIJAHI wash my hands in the sink and splash some water on my face. Then I pull my phone out and the wallpaper of Venus sleeping in the crib flashes before me. Ezra is standing beside her crib, showing the victory sign with his two fingers. My lips curl in a faint smile. Rena clicked the picture of the two and sent it to Isabella who then sent it to me in a secured file. The most interesting part is that Ezra made this file secure using his knowledge regarding computer science. My son is a freaking genius. I can’t wait to see them again. A part of me wanted to end this as soon as possible. But I knew I had to stay patient. It's my goal—to secure my family’s future. This picture reminds me why I need to stay focused and keep going. Joshua walks inside my room and lightly taps the door with his knuckles. “You ready?” I glance over my shoulder and nod. Today we are going to put an end to it. We’ll attack Rowan’s castle. I grab my black leather jacket and put it on me. The night is
ELIJAHThe moment Joshua says Cyrus escaped, I hear a crashing sound and the ground before us explodes. The explosion throws us behind and I land on the ground with Joshua and the rest. “They know we are here,” I tell Joshua and growl as I stand on my paws. Before we can take a step forward, more explosions happen, causing more wolves to be thrown back or injured by the bombs that are thrown at us. I howl at the other wolves, asking them to follow me. The wolves turn towards me and I take the path towards my right that leads straight into the forest. Our paths are bombarded, making it difficult to reach the forest but I keep my pace fast. Once we reach the forest, I signal them to scatter. “Make two groups. One that will charge through the front gate and the other through the back. Be careful and keep an eye out for the king’s guards.” I tell them through my howls since I can’t mind-link with the rest of the wolves of the other packs. Two groups are made. Carlisle and Alpha Nova’
ELIJAH I shift into Rolf’s form again and charge at them. Sharp pain shoots through my shoulder as one of them hits me with a dagger made out of silver and laced with wolfsbane. I ignore the pain my claws rips through his flesh. Irene and Joshua help me battle the men. I throw a few of them across the hallway, making their bodies crash against the furniture and sculptures. A deep growl rips from my throat, mixing with the yells of the fight. But this growl feels different, dark and hungry, urging me to tear these guys apart. ‘Kill them all. They must bow to you.’ A voice whispers in my head. It's the same voice again. I shake my head hard, gotta focus. I'm here to reach the King, not rip everyone to shreds. Just as I pounce on another attacker, a new, eerie growl cuts through the air. It's not like a normal wolf growl, it's cold and terrifying. I whirl around, fur standing on end.Down another hallway comes a pack of wolves unlike any I've ever seen. They're huge, with fur like gl
ELIJAH He asks me as if my wolf form is capable of answering him. Idiot. Nile’s eyes glaze over as he communicates with his comrades. Probably to take care of the Ashwalkers. Suddenly, there’s a clicking sound and the double doors to Rowan’s chamber swings open. Cyrus’s silhouette comes into view, his clothes torn, blood smeared on his face. His eyes narrow when they fall on us. I look at his hand. He’s holding a syringe. Cyrus huffs and turns to the guards. “Your duty was to kill them. Why aren’t they dead by now? You all don’t deserve to be the king’s guards when you can’t protect him. ” He hisses, his voice hoarse. For the first time, I don’t see a smug smile on his face. But I am noticing something else. He’s looking past them, as if he’s expecting something. Or someone. I shift back and speak. “Good to see you here, Cyrus.” I taunt. “I thought finding you would be a chore. But you made it easy.” I smirk. Cyrus snaps to his men. “Capture them.” The men raise their weapons,
VERENATwo months later…“You people have some audacity to see me after what you did,” I say with a stern face as I look at the people who are sitting in the meeting room. Their faces are etched in my head. The celestial wolves who did not help us during the fight. I am sitting at the head of the table, a sense of power coursing through me. I am dressed in a sleek, black pantsuit, the fabric soft against my skin. A crisp, white shirt complements the ensemble, and a delicate silver necklace adorns my neck. My hair, styled in a sleek ponytail, frames my face perfectly. I look confident, prepared, and ready to lead.But I’m dead from the inside. Still healing from everything that has happened and the loss we faced. Their heads are lowered in shame. They know what they are and what they did. Absolute cowards. If they had lended their hand, then we might have won the battle faster. I wouldn’t have lost my dad and so many of my precious warriors. They weren’t as strong as guardian celesti
ELIJAHTheon scoffs. “Happy, my ass! You know what’s going to truly make me happy? All of your deaths! I’ll become the next shadow Alpha and end every single one of you. That kid of yours..I’ll kill him too if he gets in my way!” He growls. My eyes darken. “You shouldn’t have said that,” I say in a low, dangerous voice and stalk forward. Theon braces himself for my attack but he is taken aback when I approach him at lightning speed and rip his head off. He gets no time to fight and drops dead on the ground. I watch him with a look of sorrow in my heart. There was no saving him. “I’m sorry for not being there for you.” I tell him though I know he won’t hear me. I wish I could change things in the past. I would have built a new relationship with him, one where we supported each other as brothers and didn’t go after each other’s throats. VERENARegef and I battle each other using our celestial powers. I’m stronger than him in terms of my position as the Luna Guardian. But he has years
ELIJAHI step before Rena and throw my dark energy towards Regef to neutralize the attack that he did. Regef’s wolf growls at me in anger and charges straight at me. But there’s Theon beside him who follows suit. I’d have to deal with both of them. I am about to charge at Regef when I feel that stabbing pain within my body again. Umbra is trying to gain control over me again. “This is fruitless,” I hear a voice in my head and realize that it's Regef’s. Is he mind-linking me through the bond we have as Umbra’s cult? “You should stop going against your fate. Your body won’t be able to take the resistance as it is built for dark powers. Fighting against your nature will only get you killed.” I grit my teeth and close my eyes to control the pain. I can sense Theon lunging at me but a bright globe of light collides against his body and throws him away. Regef stops and looks at Theon laying in the ground. I look beside me and see Rena step forward. She looks at me and places a hand on
VERENAI shift back and just stare at her in silence, watching her fumble with her words. Her lips are quivering and she’s sweating profusely, her midnight blue hair sticking to her forehead. She literally copied my hair color and my hairstyle. When she realizes the coldness in my gaze, she stops and starts yelling.”You can’t kill me! Dad will end you. I did what I did and I will do it again with you!” her eyes go round as she looks up at me with a psychotic look. She starts laughing and I know that there’s no humor or happiness to the laugh. “You deserve it all! You are fucking bitch who was born in a wealthy family and was accepted. You have no idea what it feels like to be unwanted. So…so I did all of this. You needed to feel what I felt too. And I succeeded!” she throws her head back and laughs even harder. “I succeeded in ruining your life! After this battle, you’ll have nothing left for you. Everything will be taken from you. Your Elijah, your kids, your pack…everything! So go
VERENAA warm sensation takes over my body and I feel a tingling sensation in my spine. The celestial light builds within me and I aim it at the Ashwalker wolves. They take a step back as if they can sense that power within me. Serena opens her mouth and light erupts from it. It's directed at them and the moment it hits the ground, a huge explosion takes place. I hear lots of howls and the light blinds everyone in the field. When it fades, a huge crater is formed on the ground and there’s no sign of the Ashwalker wolves and the cloaked men who stood with them. The impact was so huge that it got everyone’s attention. Nixie stares at it with wide eyes. “What the fuck,” she says as she measures the depth of the crater I created. “Damn! That’s so badass!” Dory exclaims and I smirk. We approach Joshua and Irene who also are staring at the huge crater. They turn towards us and Dory steps forward, shifts back and kneels down. Joshua looks at me and I see concern in his eyes. “Rena…Irene
VERENAI run towards the main battlefield and Nixie’s petite figure comes into sight. She’s standing against my men, guarded by the Ashwalker wolves and a few of Umbra’s cult men. I watch in horror as Nixie, her eyes filled with a malicious glint, hurls a gas bomb towards Irene and Joshua. The bomb explodes, sending a toxic cloud billowing into the air. Irene and Joshua cough, their faces contorted in pain. Joshua, with his enhanced senses, manages to shield himself from the gas, but Irene, still recovering from her previous injuries, is more vulnerable. I can see her coughing violently, blood staining her lips.“Irene,” Joshua goes to her and holds her while she drops to the ground, the coughing not stopping.Nixie grins as she looks at them. “You used to call me Dumpster Barbie, right? Now what, huh? Can’t speak?” she taunts and then pauses. “Oh wait! I totally forgot to say this. This gas has a special role, you know? It can take away the vocals of the person it affects. Permanen
VERENAI grit my teeth and clench my fist in anger after I shift back. Dad shifts back to his human form too and glares at me, standing protectively before mom. “Dad? Are you seriously going to protect her? You know who she's working for,” I ask him, my eyes pleading for him to see the truth in this situation. She’s not our ally. His face contorts in anger as he hears my words and he growls at me. “I trust her. There must have been some misunderstanding.” His eyes flash and I realize that he’s not in himself. It's the mate bond that’s making him say this. My dad isn’t as strong as I am when it comes to staying away from our mates. His love for mom will destroy him. “Oh yes it is, Ray. He’s making me do these things,” Mom says and makes this sad face. I wonder who’s better at acting innocent—Nixie or her? Oh wait, I forgot that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She proves she’s her mother. I look at Charlotte and mind-link her. “You are being a total bitch! You used my fat
VERENABut my words fall on deaf ears. He lunges at me, his claws outstretched. I dodge his attack, barely escaping his grasp. I'm filled with a mix of fear and anger. How can he hurt me? How can he turn against me after all this?I draw upon my celestial power, a surge of light coursing through my veins. My eyes glow a brilliant white, and my form shifts, becoming more powerful. I face him, my stance defiant."Elijah, stop!" I shout, my voice filled with authority. But he won't listen. He's lost in the darkness, a creature of pure instinct.We circle each other, our eyes locked in a battle of wills. The air crackles with tension as we prepare to strike. The battle between the Luna Guardian and the Shadow Alpha has begun. A battle that has occurred through different generations and timelines. I don’t want this. But do I have a choice? And what will we do if we both die? I look into his eyes, and see no sign of him. Is he gone? Did Umbra take him from me? I steel myself for what I
VERENAMaria walks towards me. “What happened?” She asks with a frown on her face. “It's mom. She’s here.” I say and Maria’s eyes turn wide. “Charlotte is here? Oh my Goddess!” She rests her hand on her chest and looks worried. I can sense the conflict arising within her. Mom was Maria’s best friend. I’m sure she still cares about her. I look at Irene. “We need to go out there. I’m sure the others will need us.” Irene steps forward. “Of course. I’d be so glad to go out there and kick some—” she halts and looks at the kids. Ezra gives her a sly smile. “Aunt Irene is saying some adult words again.” He makes a tsk sound with his mouth and shakes his head as if disappointed. He does this whenever Irene has a slip of tongue. “Shut up. I didn’t say anything. I only said that I will kick them.” She argues and I roll my eyes. She’s seriously fighting with a kid. “Rena, someone should stay with the kids to protect them,” Maria tells me as she holds my arm. She looks at Elijah who growls
