~Xyana~I wake up to a sudden brightness in my room. This is unlike what I'm used to. Usually, I wake up before Adina gets in. On rare occasions, she comes in while I'm still asleep and helps wake me calmly after running me a bath. She has never opened the curtains, letting so much brightness into my room before I get off the bed?I blink into the light streaming into the room as an unfamiliar figure stands right in front of me. More blinks and eye rubs, I finally get a clearer view of the person standing there; she's indeed unfamiliar.Once she notices that my eyes are open, she starts blabbering at the top of her voice, almost getting me scared with her high-pitched tone.Turning in my bed, I finally succeed in blinking sleep out of my eyes. I can’t see Adina or anyone else in the room. Just the unfamiliar lady. When I turn back to look at her, she's smiling and stretching out a hand to help me up.Well, I'd thought I was hallucinating and wouldn't se

~Xyana~"Ah, here you are," Declan calls me, flashing a fat smile as I join him in the dining room. "You missed Oona, she just left for school. And she asked about you.""Aww, I've been missing breakfasts with her for a while now," I replied, making a face."Yeah," Declan replies. "How are you, Pretty?" I shrug, "I'm perfect, Bones."The sound of the door behind us announced the presence of the other Howling men."Alpha." Declan greets rising to his feet. I did the same and when Gaston takes his seat, we all follow suit.Clifton is wearing an icy mask today. A mask I'm now officially used to; 'Fire and Ice' a perfect description of Clifton Howling. You just never know the version of him you'll meet today or the day after."Keeping her all to yourself, eh, Bones?" Dion teases."Ah, look at kettle calling dark names. Who spent twenty years with her yesterday." Declan asks. "Did you have fun with Diony, my Love?" He turns to me."Yes," I wh

~Xyana~ 'PIG, FAT,' and UGLY' have become names I'm now accustomed to. I used to think I was beautiful until recently. All thanks to our Alpha's rumored mate, Oksana. Ever since she started deriving pleasure in dehumanizing and abusing me because she thinks I'm too fat for her liking, my life got enveloped in an endless stream of never-ending chores. She'll call me 'Pig' over and over again and I'll always answer her with a 'yes ma'am.' She makes sure I don't get to enjoy a moment of rest during the day. I work at the farms, at the pack daycare, the kitchen, I scrub the floors; I literally do everything. Yet she's never satisfied. ** Today, Mrs. Sal, the pack's Matron, assigned my best friend, Jiya, and me to clean the Alpha's living room. She must have taken pity on me and decided to give me an easy task that I'll spend most of my day doing. As Jiya and I focus on our assigned task for the day. I suddenly feel the hairs on my neck prickle. A dull pull follows, drawing me tow

~Xyana~ I stumble behind Gamma Reeder, shame oozing through me with every step. My mind is still reeling from Alpha Kedar’s words, the disgust in his voice, the name-calling, and the humiliation that burns deeper than the wounds Oksana physically inflicted on me. My wolf "Juno," whimpers in my head, confused and heartbroken. 'He's ours,' she repeats weakly, but I can feel her spirit gradually dying down as if she too is beginning to accept the harsh reality. The pack members whisper as I pass, their eyes filled with cruel amusement. I catch glimpses of mocking smirks, and knowing looks exchanged between them. They revel in my humiliation, every single one of them. "Pathetic," someone scoffs. "How can this fat thing try to fight a real wolf?" Another voice says. "She attacked our soon-to-be Luna." I hear someone else accuse me from the crowd. I clench my teeth, swallowing the lump in my throat. I will not cry in front of them. I refuse to give them that satisfaction. We f

~Gaston~The pain I'm feeling is excruciating; my head is spinning uncontrollably as my chauffeur, Killian, keeps driving farther away from the source of my pain."Pull over," I tell Killian.The car hitches to a stop almost immediately and he stares at me through the rearview mirror, his face lined with worry.I groan into my palms painfully as my veins go through bouts of painful constrictions. "What can I do, Alpha?" Killian asks."Turn the car around," I tell him, "and drive until I ask you to stop."He nods and kicks the car into gear, pulling it into reverse. We started heading back to the same route we were coming from. A few minutes into the ride, the maddening pain starts to fade gradually, getting replaced by an unbearable intense pull that is almost pulling me out of the car."Killian, stop the car." I groan. The car halts instantly. I push outside, staggering towards the nearby woods; the exact direction of the unbearable pull. I don't have the time to tell Killian what

~Xyana~ Slowly, consciousness comes to me in painful waves. My body feels heavy like it’s been weighed down by thick rocks, and my mind is foggy, struggling to piece together the last thing I remember. My eyelids feel like they’re glued shut by an external force, causing me to force it open. The first thing I see is a high, vaulted ceiling made of dark wood. I try to sit up, but a sharp pain shoots through my ribs, forcing me back down. A gentle hand presses against my shoulder, and I turn to see a man with kind eyes and a stethoscope around his neck. A doctor, I presume. “You have to take it easy,” he says softly. “Your body is still recovering." He places two fingers on my wrist to get my pulse reading. "What's your name?" "Xyana." I reply. "You're welcome to Gurreo-Valley pack, Xyana." He offers that comforting smile one can easily find amongst health workers in hospitals. "Do you recall how you got here?" He adds. Firstly, this man said that I'm at the Gurreo-Valley pack.

~Xyana~Two days later, I wake up feeling better than I did a couple of days ago. The memory of my first day here is still fresh in my mind.'Is any of this really happening or is this just the Moon goddess trying to play tricks on me?'Alpha Kedar denied me almost a week ago and now I have three men fighting over me. The only word to describe any of this is 'surreal.''You think you're special now?' Juno laughs at me, 'keep being stupid.'"Whatever did I do to you, Juno? I'm not the reason Alpha Kedar refused to acknowledge us. He just didn't want to."'He told you why.' Juno insists."He said I'm worthless, and I'm not!" I yell. "It's okay if he chooses Oksana as his real mate. But I'm not worthless, neither am I spineless."'But you're an Elephant, a Pig, fat...' "Don't say those words to me, please." I plead with my wolf.She snorts and starts sinking back inside, 'suit yourself, Pig.'I shut my eyes as the pain of her words hit me. She's waiting, watching, hoping that I'll count

~Xyana~"I can't feel my mates," I say out loud, the distress in my voice, evident as I pace the room I'm assigned to.Breakfast was hectic and I don't even blame any of my mates if they're upset. If the Moon goddess deemed it fit to give me second chance mates, that only means she understands perfectly that right now, I'm so alone with no one in the world to turn to.But I'm failing them; I'm failing my mates; I'm failing the Moon goddess, and it's all because of Juno, my wolf, who has refused to do her job."How long do you plan on shutting out our mates, Juno?" I ask her. She yawns and stretches out a bit, acting unconcerned. "Juno?"'As long as I wish.' she snaps."You're pushing them away. Their wolves are trying to connect with you and you're shutting them out."'So? What should I do with that information?.'"But you're a part of me for crying out loud. We ought to be working together, hand in hand." I try to make her see things from my own perspective.'The Moon goddess forbid

~Xyana~After finishing our lunch, we drive back to the pack house. On our way, Dion gives me a detailed explanation about the pack, how most of its lands were acquired, and how the pack was borne through his ancestors.Their lineage is a pure Alpha lineage with no adulteration of any sort.He keeps showing me various paths that lead to prominent facilities in the pack, like the hospital, library, fire station, train station, airport, etc. The Gurreo-Valley pack was indeed a sight for sore eyes. Everything is super cute. I listen to him intently as he goes on reciting more and more historical facts as we drive along. He also gives me a little intel about the pack members and how every one of them comes together to form a solid pack that is like a big family because they all have each other's back. This is one of the reasons people from other packs have no idea of what really happens within the walls of their pack.At a point, he stops and chuckles. "Now that you've made your first o

~Xyana~"How do you like your food?" Dion asks me, wearing a quizzical look.Gulping down the bite of croissant I just took, I smile happily at him. "It tastes delicious. I'm shocked to see so many people in your pack. While at the pack house, I used to think the whole pack was too quiet, and I wondered if your pack truly had a lot of population as the others rumor it to.""Glad you like your food." He says. "As for the people, our pack is very populated and we have vast land. But the pack house isn't someplace everyone has free access to. You can't come there unless you have an invite. Gaston keeps it that way." He explains."Oh, nice.""Does the large number of people bother you? If that's the case, I can take you somewhere else with fewer people. I brought you here because I thought you needed to see more people.""Yes please, I love it here. It's perfect.""I know they're staring, aren't they?" He smiles and I blush and shrug. "Not to worry, they will stop staring as soon as they

~Xyana~Pacing the room doesn't help calm me down. My whole senses are in hyper alert. What exactly is going on? It's been almost five hours since Gaston sent me to my room.My thoughts are still all over the place when I feel the doorknob to my room twist, and my door gets pushed open.Even though there were guards positioned in front of my door, it didn't stop me from wanting to scream my lungs out until I saw Dion step in. He closes the door and stops right there, staring at me like I'm some rare specie of human that just landed on the planet Earth, while resting his body on the door frame."Dion..." I breathed out when he doesn't say a word after a couple of seconds of silence.He squeezes his brows and walks up to me. "My Sunshine," he calls me. "Are you okay, Honey?" His palms locate my cheeks and he rubs them gently. "Tell me you're okay."I swallow hard at the intensity of his gaze forgetting for a split second that I'm meant to offer him a reply. "Xy-Sunshine." He calls me,

~Gaston~Clifton is the first to rush at the pack guard. Dion follows suit. Declan and I turned out to be the only sane ones among us. So we do what we ought to; block them off, preventing them from hurting an innocent man. “Stop this madness!” I yell at both of them and turn to the guard. "Did they say exactly why they are here?" I query as my eyes dart towards the hall entrance where a couple of my men are already packing up the gifts from the Black-haw emissaries. The poor pack guard standing before us is already shaking with fear. But he manages to let out a "no Alpha" reply to the question I asked him earlier."It's fine," I tell him. "You can go." Turning to Declan who is already awaiting my command, I tell him, "Go ahead." And he steps outside the hall to carry out his job.As he's working through a couple of mind-links with his men, Dion does the same with the Tech team. And Clifton reaches out to my chauffeur, Killian to have him arrange an emergency exit for the Alpha if p

~Gaston~What am I doing? I'm failing my late parents. They entrusted my brothers under my care. And I'm trying to mess everything up. Clifton is catching up on it, and I know very well that all Declan needs is a little time to piece things together, and his suspicion will be full-blown. So much that he'll have lots of questions to ask. I'm supposed to keep the family together. That's my job. With Alpha Zegulf of the Crimson werewolf pack hellbent on wedging war against my pack, my brothers and I ought to be solid, and on the same page. Not divided and emotionally unstable. But here we are. And it's all my fault. I'm the reason we all seem to be drifting apart. All because of this stupid connection I feel towards my brothers' mate.I need help, I need to speak to someone, I need answers. And the only person that can offer me the help and answers I sought is Rhen. But I know I can't go to her. Of course, Callum can arrange a meeting with her since she's now hiding away in his pack

~Xyana~I can't believe Gaston and his brothers are discussing me. Not just that, they're accusing Gaston of being attracted to me! The man is just kind to me. Aside from the popular rumors about his pack, he hasn't shown or displayed any behavior that could get me worked up or scared for my life.He's been nothing but a great host and my biggest supporter since he brought me into his pack. Always chastising Clifton about the way he treats me.When I ran out of his office earlier, I was dumbfounded and at loss of where to go or what to do. So I headed straight to the park house playground, that was a few blocks away from his office.Oona is in school at this time of the day. So there's no possiblity that she would walk in on me looking utterly confused and distressed. Locating the empty swing, I settle down on one and push my body off the ground gently while my thoughts roam around everything I just heard.I'm interrupted by the sound of my name.

~Clifton~We all feel Gaston's rage as he pushes into his large office. He takes his time to sit and relax his back on his chair before breaking the icy silence in the room. "How is Xyana?" Is the first question that escapes his mouthWe've been waiting for him since we got to his office after he mind-linked us to come. None of us offers him a reply. He turns to Dion, exerting his Alpha command onto the weight of the question, knowing well enough that Dion wouldn't be able to fight off the pressure."How is your mate, Dion?""She's fine, Alpha." He replies, squaring his shoulders.Gaston picks up his phone and frowns. After a moment of staring at the screen, he cuts his incoming call and places the phone back on his table."At what point were either of you going to tell me what transpired between you and your mate? Did I have to hear about the things that happen in my pack house from someone else instead of my Beta, Gamma, and Warrior leader?"Everybody is looking dull and sad. Every
