~Xyana~ "Let's go." The Man in Black tells me, but I'm still unable to move. I'm super scared. He sighs and gently picks me up, cautious of the possible pain the whips are causing me. I see one of the men he probably came with tugging at Bill's dead body. The Man in Black carries me through the clearing until we get to a car with the passenger's seat already opened by a man I think might be his driver. He places me inside his car gently and files in beside me from the other side of the passenger's door. "Xavier, get out of here," He orders his driver. "Yes, Alpha." The driver replies and I tilt my body slightly to get a good look at the Man in Black. Alpha? He's an Alpha? How? Images of all the times I've seen him at Gurreo-Valley play in my head. 'If he's an Alpha, what then has he been doing, moving around freely in Gurreo-Valley like he's just a pack member?' His gaze meets mine and he flashes a smile. "Don't be afraid, Firefly. I told you I'll come for you, didn't I? Now c
~Xyana~ The car makes a turn, and soon I start to see people, other cars, and lavish buildings. A little more into the ride, we got to a big gate that is manually operated, unlike the one we passed a while ago. Driving through the gate brings us in front of a mansion that is lavishly built like the pack house at Gurreo-Valley, if not even better. "We are here," Xavier announces, looking at me through the rearview mirror with a smile. "I'm not blind." The Alpha replies, making Xavier chuckle. "Stay here," he tells me and gets down from the passenger seat, coming to my side to open the door for me. "Come on, I'll carry you the rest of the way." He says gently. Slowly, I slid my body towards the open door, pain vibrating through me with each movement. When I'm close enough, his head poles into the car and he wraps my body with two hands, gently carrying me out of the car. He carries me so gently in his arms like I'm a p
~Zegulf~ It's exhausting waiting behind to hear from the doctor. I shouldn't even be seated here. I should be having a meeting with a few of the pack elders I nominated into the Alpha's Cabal. They need to know that I have the Moon-made. It should be a thing of celebration and a big blessing to our Pack. But somehow, Xyana's health and welfare seem to matter most to me right now. 'Why isn't she healing? Does Moon-mades not have functioning wolves?' "We have to meet with the Cabal." My Beta, Xavier, reminds me via mind-link, and I frown at him. "Alpha–" "Stop it, Xavier." I cut him off. "I'll go once I'm certain she's okay," I respond via mind-link. Thankfully the doctor chose that moment to step in. "So?" I snapped at the innocent man. "Her wounds have been disinfected and treated–" "Are you going to tell me, or do you need me to rip it out of your throat?!" I bark at him. "Alpha," he b
~Zegulf~Once the meeting with the Cabal is over, I head back to the hospital, moving straight to Xyana's ward. I get there just in time to see the Doctor administering a dose of IV injections via her IV lines."Alpha!" He bows to show his respect."How is she?""She seems way better than when she got here." He replies simply."Any improvements on her wounds?"He shakes his head. "It's healing at the rate humans heal.""Thank you for the hard work," I tell him and earn another bow before he matches out of the room, leaving me alone with my unconscious Moon-made.As soon as it is just the two of us, I take a seat beside the bed and sniff in the air until her scent hits me hard in the nostrils. Eric, my wolf, unfurls beautifully and drags forward in appreciation as the beautiful scent engulfs us. Is this what Gaston Howling experiences every single day? If it is, then why would he let her out of his sight? If I were him, nothing in this world
~Xyana~"You're an Alpha?" I ask the Alpha as he steps into the car."Yes."His expression softens, and then he grabs my face and shifts closer like he's studying a particular spot on my face. "I'll help you clean up when we get home." He says simply, his gaze pinned on me."You mean your pack house?" I croak out."Yes." "I can clean up by myself."His mouth curves into a smile as he leans back onto the car seat. "You and I know that's not even possible. You're hurt, I'll help you. I'm only offering help. Nothing out of the ordinary." I dart my eyes around, determined to look at anyone but him. Settling my gaze on my hospital gown, I nod at him. "As long as you'll help with just my hands, face, and legs.""Oh, I'll help with everywhere." He tells me and I freeze, slipping him a curious glare as well. He laughs tenderly, "Just kidding." He says. "I'll take your cue, always."There is something about the way he stressed the last word that
~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~ I must have slept off in a terrible position because now that consciousness is gently slipping in, I can feel the stiff pain around my neck. With my eyes still shut, a yawn escapes my mouth. I feel tired, yet I feel a bit well-rested like I've been sleeping for days. The rumbling of my stomach makes me groan. This is unusual. Adina would never let me sleep too much without waking me up to eat. Slowly, I try to force my eyes open so that I can go in search of food. I'm still battling between opening my eyes and sleeping a little more. But the decision is made for me when a very painful lash slashes through my body from nowhere. The pain I feel goes down to maybe my visceral organs because I feel it so deep that I want to summon the whole world with my tears. I jolt up from my bed in pain and stare surprisingly at an unfamiliar man who is tying a bandana and has an eye patch. "You've slept enough, princess." He says to me, flashing his stained teeth. "Fucking get
~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. He pounces on him, kicking and screaming at hi
~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 explosion was unexpected, but I doubt it was meant to do any reasonable damage. 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 grandson ran. 'wonders!' More of our men are trooping
~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 Dion as our mate? Dear goddess, I'm so grateful that I'm alive to witness this day.' "I think there'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." He scratches his head. "But I don't regret my decision." He shrugs. "Wash a pig, dress a pig, a pig remains a pig." The blow hit below the belt. I f
