~Xyana~

"You are still fat, but at least you've cleaned up nicely," Kedar tells me.

I can't help but wonder why I thought I was going to get an apology from this inhumane prick. 'Xyana, let's get out of here.' Juno grunts in my head. 'Mate is waiting for us.'

'Mate? Did Juno just refer to Declan as our mate? Dear goddess, I'm so grateful that I'm alive to witness this day.'

"I think it's an invisible moth, or should I say, flu, in your pack. Nobody here seems like they can afford three square meals a day. And that's not their fault. It is so because what they have is a leader who prefers to stick his penis inside every available hole than sit down, brainstorm, and find ways to make his pack better just like responsible Alphas from other Packs."

Kedar chuckles, "maybe I would have let you be with me if I knew you were this mouthy months ago." He scratches his head. "But I don't regret my decision." He shrugs. "Wash a pig, dress a pig, a pig remains a pig."

    ~Dion~Gaston had kept repeating that Kedar might decide not to let Xyana go. I didn't see why he wouldn't, so I didn't take his worries to heart until now.It all happened too quickly. I shouldn't have let her spend even a second with that fool called Kedar. The bomb was unexpected, but I doubt it was meant to do any reasonable damage than to cause a distraction.That is why I quickly started looking for Xyana as immediately as I could, watching Kedar run off and refusing to go after him.It wasn't until Gideon mind-linked me that he had her that I tried to find Kedar. But unfortunately, he was already out of the park. Some of his hungry-looking soldiers were already trying to fight our men, and when I saw how they were being dealt with, I had to stop them from fighting the poor soldiers whom their scared Alpha left to their deaths.As old and worn out as Salzar Obeden was, I saw him with a sword defending his pack against my men. But his pissy grandso

    ~Gaston~ I can't believe what I feel when I touch Xyana. It's as if she is empty; I can't even find the right words to express what I feel. I quickly dropped her arm and told my brothers what I thought. "I think she's... dead." Clifton stares at me laughing like he's raving mad. "That can't be possible." He insists. "Clifton," I call him. "What do you feel when you touch her?" I ask, waiting to hear his reply. He draws a big breath and pats his hair to the side with his fingers. "Hollow." He replies and I nod. "That's exactly what I feel too," I murmur, confused. "Maybe we should take her to Rhenat, like Dion suggested." Rhenat the witch can go all in, she dabbles with dark magic and every other aspect of sorcery available to her. And right now, we're at our wit's end. She's the only one who can help us with a solution. Clif sinks his bottom on the floor, looking dejected and completely wrecked. Then suddenly, he rushes at Dion.

    ~Xyana~ 'PIG, FAT, and UGLY' have become names I'm now accustomed to. I used to think myself 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'd 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

    ~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~A few minutes into our journey, my heartbeat was all over the place. I concentrate on breathing deeply. I haven't been to this pack in months. It feels painfully surreal. The ride is uneventful, the road is smooth and once we pass the Gurreo-Valley border, my breath hitches. A few more minutes into the ride, familiarity slowly starts creeping in. I suddenly feel like a ghost, as if the old me died and left this scared shell in her place. Echoes of memories of Black-haw pack come racing through my mind. It is a place where I used to hang out with my friends and have fun, a place where I pushed through the pain of being an orphan and moving forward in life, one determined step at a time.Now I'm barely able to make myself move forward. At least I'm certain if I were walking down with both legs, I wouldn't be able to cross the Gurreo-Valley pack boundary. My fingers wind into Dion's own. I keep my gaze forward on the road and try my best to keep from

    ~Xyana~ The next couple of days moved painfully slowly. Clifton was nowhere to be found. Not his room, not anywhere around the park house that I know of. But each time I ask Gaston, he tells me he's doing great and would want to be left alone for the time being. I suffered his disappearance more because I couldn't get the image of a half-shifted crying Clifton off my mind. I finally believed Gaston when told me Clifton wasn't within the pack house because I wasn't feeling any of his emotions. It's as if he is thousands of miles away from me. I can't reach him, and I can't hear his voice either because he neither takes my calls nor does he reply to my numerous messages. It's been a crazy couple of days, really. Dion confirmed that he didn't give me the necklace with the moon symbol. Same as Declan and the Alpha, Gaston. I asked them indirectly and their reply made me know they had no single idea. I made up my mind to ask Mona after the Alpha and his brothers confirmed th

    ~Xyana~I regret my question as his expression morphs into a sly one. A grin grows on his lips, and he grabs my jaw, pulling me close. I gasp as I am ripped from the door frame and I claw onto Clifton's arm, forcing myself to keep my defiant look towards him."It would be a sight to have you on your knees begging. I'd die to see you beg, Baby."My nails sink into his skin as he leans closer, his husky whisper making a shiver run down my spine. "I would fucking love to see you on your knees for me. Goddess!" He exclaims and I watch his Adams apples in work as he swallows hard. "Let me go!" I say, making him chuckle.Shaking his head, he sweeps his lips over mine, a mild quick touch. But the friction of the touch makes me shudder pleasantly. "Be careful of the things you celebrate about, Baby. You're not special because my wolf speaks to you. What does he tell you anyway? That I'm in love with you?""Amongst other things." I manage to let out, s

    Xyana~ I stare at my neck one more time. Then I trace the hook of the necklace, unhooked it and dropped it on the empty makeup receiver I found beside the mirror before stepping away from the mirror. Everything in me tells me the necklace and symbol on my wrist has nothing to do with Declan or Dion. Then who? I have no idea. I don't want Adina to start looking at me strangely. She must have noticed that the wound on my wrist is now looking completely healed. But she doesn't say a word about it. And I don't talk about it either. Marching over to my bed, I grab the mug and sit back down. Adina is standing beside me as usual, waiting for the cup. I've fought her way too much about her usually waiting on me. But I've never won any of the fights. So, I've learned to pick my battles wisely. Now, I don't argue, I just let her stand there if it makes her happy. "I hope you like the tea ma'am?" Adina asked, as usual. I shrug, "I think I've gotten used to the horrible smell and sweet t

    ~Xyana~ While on our way home, I texted the Alpha and my mates, asking if I was needed at home for any reason. Gaston, Dion, and Declan replied that I wasn't. But I got no reply from Clifton. I kept wondering why Gideon would ask that I return to the pack house in an instant. Mona has no clue, neither do I. But when I get to the pack house, everywhere is calm as usual. The guards are all in position. I even had to ask one of them if there was a problem around the pack, and he replied there was no problem at all. Mona isn't convinced, so she insists on seeing me off to my room. Surprisingly, my room is all fixed when we arrive. The bedframe and other ruined furniture have been replaced. New paintings, decorative vases, and flowers have been put up too. It doesn't look explicitly like the room I'm now used to, but it looks great nonetheless. I check my walk-in closet, the entrance door has been fixed, and all my outfits

    ~Xyana~ "I'm sorry, Alpha. But I don't think I want to be in the same room with Clifton right now." I tell Gaston as we all take a seat opposite him in his office. He tightens his jaw as he stares at me in what I understand is anger that I didn't call him by name. Well, I'm fuckin angry too. Clifton scoffs again. "Well, I'll be taking you to your former pack in a few days. If-" "I'd rather die than go to Black-haw pack with you." I rush at him and he stares shockingly at me. "Why did you ruin her room, Clifton?" Gaston asks, his voice showing how pissed he is. Clifton waves his arms. "They broke the rules." "Don't you play that card with me right now, Clifton Howling? I didn't break any rules. I spent the night at my mate's room, how is that me breaking a rule?" "Xyana!" Gaston calls in between clenched teeth. "I'm sorry," I offer and force myself to keep shut. Juno is watching from one person to the other, listening attentively. Gaston leans back in his seat, a frown on his
