VERENAA wave of emotion crashes over me as I ruffle Ezra's black hair, the same shade as his eyes. He's his father's twin, and the resemblance clenches my heart. Elijah. No matter how much I fight it, the past clings to me, a constant reminder.Being Luna means endless events and pack politics. The

VERENAI start to respond to Carlisle, but a tingling sensation erupts through my body, spreading like wildfire through my veins. The bouquet falls from my shaking hand. "I-I think it's happening," I gasp, my voice tight with anticipation.Heat pulses beneath my skin, making me sweat. It's not midni
VERENAMy heart explodes. Elijah. He's here.His dark eyes land on me. "Verena?" His deep voice cuts through the silent night. The moonlight falls on his chiseled face, highlighting the scar running down his left eye.Why is he here?"It's time for me to shift back," Serena says, her tone mischievou
ELIJAH"Carlisle handled Nixie?" My voice is laced with confusion. "When?"Rena looks at me, her confidence unwavering."Is that what he told you?" I ask. That bastard. He lied.Rena frowns. "Doesn't matter what he told me." She sighs, looking down. "Why am I even wasting my time talking to you?" sh
ELIJAH“What?!”Theon’s body is missing?I glance at the forest, searching for Rena. But she’s gone. A sigh escapes my lips. She won’t believe anything I say now. It’s my fault. I couldn’t tell her the truth all these years. But will she ever forgive me? I doubt it.I turn back to Joshua. “How is th
ELIJAHMy fingers trace the jagged scar above my left eye, a constant reminder of the price I paid for the cure. When I demanded an extra cure, the witch demanded a favor in exchange. The thought of what Rena would have to go through if Rayn died made me accept her demand. The cure had a substance i
ELIJAHI settle onto the bench beside the tree, stealing a glance at the book nestled in his lap. Harry Potter. Perfect."Who's your favorite character?" I ask, trying to sound casual.He glances up, his dark eyes meeting mine for a fleeting moment before diving back into the book. Well, that's not
VERENAElijah’s eyes light up after I say those words to him. It feels good, like a burden has been lifted off my chest. We needed to talk but I did not know how to initiate a conversation with him that wouldn't lead to any conflict or misunderstanding between us. Turns out that he felt the same.
This is my way of telling her how much I want her. There’s not a single day I didn’t think of her, didn’t miss her. How can she even think that I wouldn’t want her? Rolf growls inside my head in agreement. I kiss the mark and pull back, watching her face turn red and flushed. The daze in her eyes
ELIJAHI jump out of the trees, and stare at the packhouse. It's dark outside and the lights are on. I specifically notice the light of my bedroom being on. She’s here. My heart races in my chest as I think about seeing her again. She was in the Moonlight pack for quite some time and I missed her
VERENAThe heavy iron gates creak open, revealing the familiar yet altered landscape of the Iron Claw packhouse. The once pristine grounds are now scarred with remnants of the brutal battle. As I guide the car through the gates, my heart pounds with a mix of anticipation and excitement. I glance at
VERENAMaria’s words ring in my head. I stand before dad’s grave inside the cemetery. Ezra is standing beside me, holding a bouquet of lilies. He has a sad look on his face as he stares at his grandpa’s grave. “Mommy?” He calls me and I look down at him. “Yes?” “Is grandpa in a safe place now?” h
VERENAI sit with Maria in the living room and sip the hot chocolate she made for me. The hot drink soothes my throat and my tense nerves. It feels good. Maria looks at the window and then at me. She stares at me for a while and I frown. “What is it?” I ask. “Rena, are you alright?” she asks in a
“Oh, come on! Stuff like this happens. Why can’t you just forget and make up?” Serena shouts in my head and I grimace at her loud voice. “Stop shouting. It's not that easy, okay?” “Why not? You even see a therapist now so you should be healed!” She whines. I roll my eyes. “It does not work like t
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 t
George looks at me and raises his arm, showing me the Goddess Gem. I don’t know if it's instinct or intuition, but I shift back and walk towards him as if I know what to do. Elijah does the same and we join him. George hands me the red gem. I look at Elijah and he moves closer to me and holds the g
