ELIJAH

The man’s brows lift in surprise. “Wait…” He opens one of the doors and walks inside. Seconds later, he steps out. “The King has allowed you to enter.”

I smile and stride inside. Rowan is sitting on his bed, his back leaning on the headboard. The doctor has seemingly given him another dose of the medicine I advised. His droopy eyes fall on me.

“How did you know what medicine would help?” he asks, his voice raspy.

I casually walk towards his bed and pull a chair. Rowan doesn't say anything as I plop into a seat that he usually sits on. I cross my legs and rest my elbow on the armrest.

“Must be hard to stay conscious with all the pain tearing you from the inside. Don’t worry. It won’t last long. Your wolf will soon die and you’ll be free from the pain,” I taunt, and his jaw clenches.

“Tell me. Where’s the cure?” he asks, the impatience clear in his voice.

I make a ‘tsk, tsk’ sound with my mouth and shake my head. “Not so easy. Remember how you made a pact with me in return for pr

    VERENA“Mommy, you are supposed to place the star at the top!” Ezra’s yell brings me out of my trance and I find my arm trying to put the sparkling golden star in one of the branches of the fir tree, not where it belongs. “Oh, you’re right. Sorry.” I apologize and turn to my boy who’s grown taller. “Would you like to place the star on the top?” He nods. “Yes.” He takes the star from my hand and I pick him up in my arms to elevate him to the height of the Christmas tree we are decorating together. Just like every year, we are celebrating this year too. But unlike other times, I am distracted by my thoughts of Elijah. He texted me that he’s leaving for the battle. But that was his last text. A sense of fear gnaws at my chest. Is he safe? To be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate Christmas. But for the sake of the kids, I am keeping up. A year has passed and the only source of communication between us was through Isabella and some secured texts.“Done.” Ezra says and I place hi

    VERENAEzra walks in, holding a hand. My heart skips a beat as I see the owner of that hand come into view.His scent floods my senses, and his obsidian eyes meet mine as soon as he steps inside the room. Excitement, longing, warmth, joy, affection—a cocktail of emotions washes over me as I see him stand there, tall and with a powerful aura radiating from his ripped body.“Oh my! Elijah, you are here.” Maria’s voice rings out as she looks at him with wide eyes and a happy smile.“Yes, daddy’s home!” Ezra jumps, and Elijah pulls him closer with one arm, a smile on his lips. He ruffles Ezra’s hair.“Have you been a good boy?” He asks in his deep voice and hearing it after so long, it makes a delicious shiver run down my waist. I missed that sexy voice so much. Ezra frowns. “I’m always good.” Hearing him, everyone chuckles. He then slowly turns his gaze back to me and my heart skips a beat. My heart pounds like a trapped bird. It has been a year since I’d seen Elijah, and yet, the memo

    VERENAElijah raises a brow at me, silently demanding his welcome kiss. “He can get inside the bedroom and we’ll give him lots of welcome kisses,” Serena mutters in my head, “Kisses that turn into something more. One that trails down his waist and—” “Shut up.” I tell her inside my head and she scoffs. She’s in a good mood now that he’s here. Throughout the year, she had been grumpy and would talk less. I could feel her pain of separation from Elijah’s wolf. At times, she suggested we run straight into his pack and give him a surprise. But I knew I couldn’t do that because I had to protect my pack. I move closer to him and whisper seductively. “You have to wait for it.” “Bah!” Venus makes a sound. Both Elijah and I stare at her with amusement before a smile appears on his face. It makes my heart flutter seeing him so happy around his daughter. He wanted to be close to her but circumstances kept us apart. “Will my beautiful princess give me a welcome kiss?” Elijah asks, his voice pl

    VERENADad walks over to Elijah and shakes his hand. “Glad that you are fine.” He says in a stoic tone and Elijah nods. I’m stunned by how well Elijah is holding Venus and she is also being good in front him. Seems like Irene is right. She is a daddy’s princess. Ezra walks over to me and I ruffle his hair. “That’s a beautiful Christmas tree,” Elijah mutters as his gaze shifts to the fir tree. Ezra beams with a proud look on his face. “I decorated it with Mommy.” “Good job. But something seems missing,” Elijah says and I frown. Ezra scratches his head and looks at the tree. Elijah glances at Joshua who smirks before he steps out of the living room. Seconds later, he returns with boxes wrapped with bright colored gift wrappers. Ezra’s lips part and he jumps in excitement. “Presents!” Joshua places the gifts beneath the Christmas tree. My eyes turn wide when I see the twins fetch more gift boxes. Soon, the floor beneath the Christmas tree is filled with a heap of gifts of different

    VERENA“Elijah,” I moan breathlessly as he pushes his fingers through my pants. He hums when he feels my wet spot. “I missed you…too.” My legs tremble as he plays with my pussy and I bite back another loud moan. Don’t want the entire house to hear us. He swoops his hands under my legs and pulls me up, making me sit on the counter. My elbow accidentally hits one plate and my breath catches in as I see the tower of plates on the verge of falling off. Elijah steadies them before they can fall. There’s a knock at the door. Maria’s voice comes through it. “The maids just cleaned the kitchen. I don’t want any plates broken. You can break stuff in other places in the house. Not in the kitchen. ” My cheeks flush and I look at Elijah who has a frown on his face. He raises his brow. “Damn,” I giggle and cup his face, placing a kiss on his lips. “Let's go. Or else Maria’s blood pressure will rise.” I say and he smiles. He grabs my waist and places me on the floor. We both take the cutlery

    VERENAI shift my glance at Venus who’s smiling at something Dad said and wipe her mouth with a napkin. I place the napkin on the small table attached to her high chair, my heart thumping in my chest. “Rena..” “I don’t know if they’d want me back,” I whisper and the glint in Elijah’s eyes tells me he knows what I’m talking about. When I was in the Iron Claw Pack, the people hated me and mistreated me. It's not like I hate them for it, but to return to a place where the people don’t respect you is difficult. I have given it a thought before and every single time I’d remember those faces that’d eye me with pure malice and hatred. When you become a leader, it comes with people who either follow you or are against you. But in Elijah’s pack, people were always against me. And no matter how strong I act, it still affects me. Being the Luna of Moonlight Pack, I have gotten used to receiving lots of love from the people here. Despite being a woman ruling a pack, most of them have been kin

    VERENAI smile seductively. “Sounds like a plan.” All of us enjoy the day together, filled with laughter, games, and celebration. I take many pictures of us, especially Elijah, Ezra, Venus, and me wearing Santa hats. Venus and Ezra look so cute, but Elijah looks annoyed in all the pictures because he doesn't like wearing the Santa hat.I chuckle as I stare at the pictures on the phone. I place the phone on the bed and look at the bags with all our clothes packed. A day has passed, and I have made my decision. I’m going to move back with Elijah and take the kids with me.There’s a slight knock at the door, and I find Dad standing there. He has a stoic face, but there’s sadness in his eyes.“Are you done packing?” he asks, and I nod.“Dad, why don’t you come with us and stay there for a few days? I have handed Norton and Kyla the job of running the pack under my surveillance. There’s the pack barrier too that I created. So you don’t have to worry about anything,” I mutter, hoping he’ll

    VERENAI pat her back, feeling her pain. Ezra and Veenie are the life of this house. A part of me feels guilty for taking this life away from them. I’ll make sure the kids stay in touch with this pack. No matter wherever we are heading, the Moonlight Pack is always going to be our first home. The pack that changed everything for me, gave me a place to belong. I hold back my own tears. “I will. Not only that, I’d also visit you all with the kids as frequently as I can.” I promise her and dad pats my back gently. I break the hug and sense Ezra poking his head through the door, staring at us. “Ezzie?” Maria calls him out and he stiffens. “Why are you hiding there?” She asks and turns to him. Ezra stands before the room, his head lowered. I can sense his sadness. He’s excited to be with his dad, but also sad because he has to leave his grandpa and Ri behind. “Come here, big wolf,” Dad motions him with his hand and Ezra slowly walks over to him. He keeps his head lowered and Dad pats

    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

    VERENA"You're back," I whisper, my voice barely audible. "You're really back."Ezra smiles, his eyes filled with warmth. "I'm here, Mommy," he says. "I'm not going anywhere."In that moment, all the pain, the fear, the uncertainty - it all seems to fade away. We've won. We've defeated the darkness.Irene quickly turns around and her eyes go wide as she sees us. “Oh Goddess! It worked! Fu—Sorry. I mean hell yeah!” she shouts, raising her fists in the air. She looks no less than a lunatic but that’s how she is.I turn to Venus who just stares at her with her big green eyes, her little hand clutching Ezra’s shirt as she sits on his lap. I kneel on the floor and take her other hand, then kiss it. “Thank you, thank you. You’re our savior.” I whisper to her and cup her little face. She makes a sound with her mouth, having no idea what I’m talking about. I look at Elijah. His head is tilted up towards the ceiling, pushing back his tears of joy and relief. He’s trying to act strong but I k

    VERENAI feel a strong vibration at the pit of my stomach. It makes my guts muscles clench uncomfortably but then a warm sensation travels up my spine. Venus stops crying and I open my eyes to see a vibrant light form in the middle of the air. It casts its bright light on the room and reduces Ezra’s dark aura, allowing him to take a breath and relax a little. Venus looks calm too and is staring at her brother with her big eyes. I look at Elijah and he nods. Ezra lifts his head and his face looks better, a lot less pale as he stares at us. But he’s still in his dark aura. Maybe the energy that we created helped to slow down the process. He looks at Venus but does not say anything. I move towards the bed and Venus raises her arm like she did in the kids room when she saw me. She smiles at her brother, her green eyes lighting up. “Veenie…” Ezra whispers. I carefully place Venus on the bed and hold her back. In case Ezra does something, I’ll pull her back. Elijah stands beside me and

    VERENAVenus squirms as she sees him and it hurts him but he does not show it on his face. “Are they still out there?” Maria asks me and I shake my head. “No. But we need to be careful. Elijah and I’ll handle everything. Let's go.” I tell them and we carefully walk out of the kids room. Elijah walks ahead, his senses alert for any incoming dangers. I look around too but Venus gets uncomfortable when I’m too tense so I’m trying to stay calm. I look at her and recall the vision I had. I couldn’t see her face but I felt the same way I am feeling right now. The feeling that you have when you are close to your daughter. Venus looks up at me with her big eyes and I give her a smile. “Don’t worry, angel. We’ll be fine,” I give her a kiss on the forehead and she giggles. We reach the bedroom and Elijah opens the door. The moment the double doors swing open, a strong wave of dark aura crashes on me, forcing me to take a step back. Venus squirms again and looks away, as if she’s afraid.
