"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday little princess, happy birthday to you "my mom sang waking me up from the bed.
I am finally 18 years old. I am finally legal, I am off age now. I can get into clubs now.
" Thank you mom"I smile at her, always honouring our birthday tradition.
That is waking up to a birthday song in bed.
"Blow your candle princess" she says and I take the little cupcake with the number 18 candle on top.
I blow it and she claps her hands excitedly.
"Now, freshen up and get ready, we have a lot to do today. Your sister is already done,"she says and I nodded.
I freshened up and stood In front of the mirror for a while while staring at my reflection.
Yep, the changes happened immediately it struck midnight this dawn.
My boob has become bigger than the actual size, my waist has become slimmer and I have grown a little bit taller.
I'll say 5'9.
Normal average werewolf height.
Wow I really look like a woman, I just hope I find my mate today.
'Of course we will' someone says and I got startled.
Who the fuck is that? Did Crystal get in my head again.
'No silly, I am your wolf' the soft female voice says again and I sigh in relief.
"Oh hello there wolf. I can't believe I am able to finally talk to you"I say excitedly.
'me too. My name is Averia, but you can call me Ria"she says
"Nice to meet you Averia, I am Serene but you can me Lisa" I tell her and she wiggles her tail in excitement.
'We are going to have some fun today' she says and goes back to the back of my head.
I changed into a black denim jeans and brown off the shoulder top. I curled my hair and applied a little bit of make up.
I made my way downstairs for breakfast and we went to the mall for the day.
The entire day was shopped and bought all kinds of girlie stuff for the birthday celebration.
Our last stop was at the gown shop, and I picked the prettiest gown ever.
We then got our hair and nails done before going back home to set everything up.
By the time evening came, everything was ready and set.
I just got out of the shower, my dress hanging beautifully in my room, along with the family necklace, my phone suddenly rings.
I answered immediately when I saw Tasha's name.
"Sup girl?" I say into the phone.
"Serene, I need your help. My car broke down in the middle of the woods near the mall. Can you come and pick me up "she says hurriedly.
Oh that place is dangerous.
" Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes"I tell her and hang up.
I immediately put on a black romper and grabbed my car keys. Left through the window because mama would be pissed if I don't get to see the Alpha before the party.
Which I am going to miss by the way.
.
"Serene, where have you been?" my mom scolds looking at me and Tasha in anger.
"I went to pick up Tasha, mom. She was stranded. I am sorry,"I told her.
"You'll kill me one day. Hurry up and change, your sister already met the alpha but I haven't heard anything yet. You can join the party, you'll see him there,"mom says and I nodded.
Tasha and mom took me upstairs and helped me dress.
My dress was a corset off the shoulder dress. I pair it with silver heels and matching jewelry.
"You look beautiful my darling. May the moon goddess bless you with a good mate,"she blesses me.
"Thank you mother" I replied.
"Come on let's go and enjoy your party" Tasha says happily.
.
After all the rituals were done on the ceremony grounds, the party began, and we started mingling with the others.
My wolf has been giddy ever since we started mingling, and I know something is up.
"Mate! I can smell him! I can smell it, mate. Can we go to him?" she says, wiggling her tail.
"Are you sure he is here?" I asked.
"Yes! Now go to him!" she yells, and I follow her directions.
The sweet scent of mint and wood fills my nostrils as I walk through the rose bush.
What would he be doing here?
I stopped when I heard muffled voices.
"How can it be her? You have to reject her. I am the one for you. You love me!" someone cries.
Wait, is it Crystal??
"I know it isn't that easy, but I'll do it. I love you, and nothing else will come between us," the man whispers.
"Mate is here. Follow the scent!" Ria yells at me.
As much as I want to know who my sister is talking to, I need to find my mate.
I walked around the bush and stopped in my tracks when I saw two people kissing.
"Mate! That is mate! But... but... but mate is with another woman! Mate is hurting us," Ria says, reflecting on our emotions.
"Mate!" I whisper, my eyes beginning to glow bright yellow. Ria wants to come out.
"Mate!" a very well-known voice says.
The couple broke apart, and if I didn't want to faint before, I want to faint now.
Alpha Zander is my mate, and he is kissing my sister!
I stepped back a little as everything dawned on me. The rumors are true; it has been her.
It always has been her.
'mate is hurting us. I can't talk to mate's wolf. He is blocking us,' Ria cries in my head.
"Why would you do this? How can you do this, Zander! What did I ever do to you?" I yell, about to attack him, but he is in front of her within seconds, protecting her.
He is choosing her over us.
"Stay down, Serene. This has nothing to do with your sister. I am sorry you had to find out this way," he says calmly.
"Okay, I am going to forget everything. Let's just go, Alpha," I say simply, trying to control my anger.
"You don't get it, Serene. I can't be with you. I am in love with her, and I plan on marrying her and making her my Luna," he says.
"Wait, what? What is that supposed to mean? I am your mate. You can't reject me, Alpha. I might die," I say, my eyes shining with tears.
Rejection is a shame and disgrace upon one's family and herself. It is also painful, and given he is an Alpha, I might die.
"I am sorry, but it is a risk I am willing to take," he says, and I think I might die before the rejection.
"Why her? Am I not good enough for you?" I whisper, feeling Ria's wail.
"I am sorry, but you are not the one for me," he says. I know what he is about to do next.
"I am the one for you. The Moon Goddess chose me, not her!" I cry, tears cascading down my face.
"She chose wrongly," he says with finality.
"Please, Alpha."
"
I, Alpha Zander McLean, reject you, Serene Gun, as my mate and Luna," he says.
And I scream as I feel something break within me. Ria wails in agony.
Then everything goes black.

The next morning, I catch up to talk to him before he leaves for their honeymoon."Alpha. I am not here to beg anymore. I just need one favor for my wolf. I need to talk to Atlas," I say, and he nods without a thought.Seconds later, his eyes start glowing bright yellow, almost golden.'To what do I owe the pleasure?' he says, his voice deep and thunderous.'I want to know if you are aware of his rejection,' I say.'Yes, little mate. I am already bonded to Sansa, and I love her. I am sorry this had to happen. Tell Averia I am really sorry,' he says, and something in me dies.'Okay. Can I speak to Zander now?' I say, and he nods. A few seconds later, Zander comes back."Do you have your answer now?" he says softly."Yes," I let out a breath and look him straight in the eyes."I, Serene Gun, accept your rejection," I say, and he stumbles back a little.He looks at me in shock and surprise, as if he didn't expect me to accept it.I turn and walk away from him and everything that has to d

Iwoke up extra early today because there was a lot to do at work—hiring and signing new models, photoshoots for Vogue magazine, which came in yesterday, and taking calls from new clients overseas. Not to mention the grand openings of my new shops in France and Italy.Marcus was right—this was our biggest breakthrough, and we needed to work hard to keep it going.Collen had just started shooting a new blockbuster movie, and thank God my designs were ready to be used.I took a shower and dressed in a green summer dress and flats.We were in the middle of spring, and the weather was a little chilly.I looked out through the glass walls. The clouds were dark and foggy, signaling that it might rain at any moment.I stepped into the kitchen to see Marcus already up, sorting through some files and papers."Good morning, Prince Charming," I said, kissing his cheek and picking up my coffee."Morning, Princess. How was your sleep?" he asked."The usual," I shrugged, and he sighed.He knew I did

Ever since my brother left my penthouse, I’ve had an uneasy feeling inside me.It’s as if I’m being followed.For instance, when I was on the red carpet with Marcus at the launch of our new lingerie designs, one of the photographers looked oddly familiar.I could have sworn I’d met him somewhere before—but maybe it was just paranoia.There’s also always someone—an unknown figure—lurking on our security cameras.Marcus says I’m overthinking things, but I’m just being careful.My life is finally starting to take shape, to have real meaning, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—take that away from me.I can’t afford to lose myself again.Today is one of the days I take a walk around the block.It also marks the 10th anniversary of losing my baby boy.People might call me awful or a bad mother, but a part of me is glad he left this world.I wouldn’t have hated him—I would have loved him so much.

The moment we crossed the pack borders, every severed connection from ten years ago began to reestablish itself."Wow, this isn’t what I was expecting. This place is absolutely civil—it looks like a mini town," Marcus says, staring at the buildings in awe."What were you expecting?" I ask, confused."Well… trees and treehouses. Bushes. I don’t know, maybe caves," he shrugs.I roll my eyes. "Marcus, you do realize we’re humans with supernatural abilities, right? We have civilization. We live like humans—we just have the ability to transform into wolves."He nods but continues scanning the city with fascination.I don’t know how Mama or Papa will react. I just hope they’re not angry with me.In my letter, I never gave them the full details of what happened between Zander, Crystal, and me. They don’t know the real reason I left. I can only pray they forgive me.Zack is still driving, not bothering to look back.Wait… something isn’t adding up.If he’s the Beta of this pack, then what happ

""Mmmh... Mrs. Gun, your food is exquisite. Even better than Serene's," Marcus praises, and I roll my eyes at him."Oh, thank you! You are such a gentleman. But no one beats the original," Mum gushes."Why are you two getting along so well?" I mutter, and Kenna chuckles beside me."So, Serene, I heard you're a famous model now. Is it true?" Kenna asks curiously."Yes, I am," I say with a proud smile."Not only a model, but she's also now England's most successful model and designer," Marcus adds proudly."I wouldn't say most successful, but I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you-my savior," I praise him."You know it was all you," he replies, and I can feel Mum watching us with a mix of curiosity and concern."So, how did you and Kaden meet, Kenna?" I ask, shifting the attention to her.She blushes instantly, and I know it must have been a romantic encounter."He actually saved me from my family," she sighs, and I can tell it was a hero rescuing the damsel kind of situation."

I was sent to the dungeon in the basement of the pack house.I remained silent the entire way there.I can't believe Papa would say those things to me—after I told him the truth.I am dragged into the Solstice Dungeon, one of the cruelest dungeons in the pack.Only rogues and vampires are brought here—for torture.I am thrown inside by Zack."The Alpha will be here. Don't move," he sneers before walking away, locking the door behind him.This place is unbearably hot. There is only one tiny window, barely large enough to let in any air.Silver chains glisten with wolfsbane in the dim light.A few seconds later, the door bursts open, and Zander steps inside.His eyes glow a bright yellow—I know it's Atlas trying to take control."You need to let me go, Zander. I have no business being here. My life, my career… everything is at stake," I tell him.He chuckles darkly."Oh, you aren't going anywhere, little mate.

The grand hall of the packhouse was alive with warmth and celebration. Today marked fifteen years since Ruine and I had joined our lives together, and there was no better way to celebrate than with the people we loved most—our family. The space was beautifully decorated with golden and silver lights, symbolizing the strength and endurance of our bond.At the center of it all stood Ruine, his sharp golden eyes softened by joy as he laughed with Cole and Nikolai, both of whom had grown into strong, confident men. My heart swelled as I looked around the room. Our triplets—now nineteen—were standing together, sharing a quiet moment of laughter. They were no longer the mischievous children who used to run through the halls causing chaos but were on the cusp of full adulthood, strong and independent.Lilac, Ruine’s daughter from his first marriage, was beside me, holding a glass of wine as she watched her five children chase after my grandkids. She had married Ruine’s Beta and best friend, a

The summer sun kissed the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux as we arrived at our private villa in France. The air smelled of lavender and fresh bread, a scent that instantly made me feel at home. It had been years since our last big family vacation, and now that the kids were teenagers, this trip was bound to be different. Gone were the days of carrying them around on our hips; now, we were dealing with independent, opinionated young adults who still had that mischievous spark in their eyes."This place is sick!" Cole exclaimed, dropping his bag the second we stepped inside. He was already looking around for the best room, and I had no doubt he and Nikolai would argue over it.Kiara, on the other hand, was more composed. "It's beautiful," she murmured, running her fingers over the intricate wood carvings on the staircase. "I can't wait to see the gardens."Ruine chuckled behind me. "You two get your pick of rooms—just not the master. That’s ours."Cole groaned while Nikolai smirked. "First

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting an amber glow over the modernized expanse of Gold Sun Pack. The pack’s main hall buzzed with energy, wolves of all ranks moving through the grand space as they discussed recent events. Tonight was special—not just because the pack had grown stronger, but because it marked two pivotal moments in the lives of Casma and Ruine’s sons, Cole and Nikolai.Cole had always been the dreamer among the triplets, the one who found beauty in everything. But tonight, something shifted within him. It had started the moment he locked eyes with the mysterious stranger standing near the training grounds. She was unlike any wolf he had ever seen—because she wasn’t one at all. The unmistakable scent of magic clung to her, mixing with the crisp night air, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.A witch.The realization should have made him step back, should have triggered the instincts every werewolf was born with. But instead, he stood rooted to the s

It was supposed to be a normal day. The morning had started with the usual chaos of raising three teenagers. Nikolai and Cole were arguing over who had taken the last protein bar, and Kiara had been in her room, unusually quiet. I’d noticed she skipped breakfast, which was unlike her. Usually, she was the one dragging her brothers to the table, making sure they ate something before training with Ruine.The moment I heard a timid knock on my office door, I knew something was wrong. When I opened it, Kiara stood there, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other. Her usually confident expression was hesitant, and her hazel eyes darted everywhere except at me."Mom… can we talk?" she asked in a voice that was barely above a whisper.I immediately stepped aside, pulling her into the room and closing the door behind her. "Of course, sweetheart. What’s wrong?"She hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and looking up at me. "I think something’s wrong with me."Panic shot through

The day had finally arrived.Fourteen years ago, I had endured the most painful yet rewarding experience of my life—bringing Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole into this world. Now, as I stood outside in the open training grounds of the Gold Sun Pack, watching my children prepare for their first shift, I felt a strange mixture of pride, excitement, and unease. This was a monumental moment, a rite of passage for every werewolf, and yet I couldn’t shake the maternal instinct that wanted to shield them from the inevitable pain.The sky was painted in deep hues of orange and pink as the sun dipped below the horizon. Ruine stood beside me, his Alpha presence as commanding as ever, though his features softened when he looked at our children. He had spent the last year preparing them for this moment—ensuring they were mentally and physically ready to shift. Shifting for the first time wasn’t just a transformation; it was a rebirth.“You’re ready,” Ruine said firmly, his deep voice resonating across the

The morning started like any other—chaotic yet filled with love. The triplets, now eleven years old, were in the middle of their werewolf changes, which meant heightened senses, mood swings, and an insatiable hunger that rivaled a full-grown wolf. Living in the Gold Sun Pack had its advantages—modern facilities, excellent schools, and a strong support system—but nothing quite prepared me for raising three preteens going through their transformation simultaneously.I sighed as I entered the kitchen, already knowing what awaited me. Nikolai and Cole were engaged in a playful scuffle near the breakfast bar, while Kiara sat at the table, scowling at the milk in her cereal as if it had personally offended her.“Boys, do not break anything,” I warned, walking past them to pour myself a much-needed cup of coffee.“They started it!” Kiara huffed, pushing her bowl away. “I can hear them chewing, and it’s disgusting.”I took a deep breath. Enhanced hearing was one of the earliest signs of their

The air was thick with anticipation as we arrived at the Blood Moon Pack’s grand estate, the towering castle-like structure bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. It had been years since I had stepped foot here, and despite the changes, the essence of the pack remained the same—strong, proud, and unyielding. But tonight was different. Tonight, we weren’t just visitors; we were here to witness my son, Tyral Dores, ascend as the new Alpha.The moment we stepped out of the sleek black SUV, a hush fell over the gathered pack members. They watched with reverence as Ruine and I made our way toward the ceremonial grounds, our five-year-old triplets—Nikolai, Kiara, and Cole—tugging excitedly at our hands. It wasn’t every day they got to visit their older brother’s pack, and they were eager to be part of such a grand occasion.Lilac walked beside us, her presence a silent strength. My stepdaughter had been a pillar in our family, and though she had suffered her share of loss, tonight, sh

The grand hall of the Blood Moon Pack was alive with excitement. The towering stone walls, adorned with the banners of past Alphas, stood as a testament to the strength and legacy of this pack. Tonight, the pack gathered to witness the coronation of its next Alpha—Tyral McLean, my firstborn son.It felt like just yesterday when I had held him in my arms as a newborn, vowing to protect him from all harm. Now, at twenty-four, he stood tall and proud, the embodiment of strength, wisdom, and leadership. By his side was his mate, Billy, the love of his life since childhood, and the mother of his four children. Their eldest, Kai, was already beginning to show signs of being a great warrior, his keen instincts mirroring his father’s at the same age.I stood beside Ruine, who held my hand as we watched our son prepare for the ceremony. Our triplets—Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole—stood nearby, their five-year-old faces filled with excitement and curiosity. Rhynara, now a young woman, watched with adm

The grand gates of the Gold Sun Pack stood tall and imposing, their intricate golden engravings gleaming under the midday sun. As our convoy approached, a wave of anticipation rolled through me. It had been years since I last set foot on pack territory, and now, I was returning not just as Ruine’s mate, but as his Luna, with our children in tow.Ruine, ever the picture of calm authority, sat beside me in the car, his sharp golden eyes scanning the familiar landscape. Even though he had left much of the day-to-day affairs to his Beta, his presence here was monumental. Today was a day of celebration, a day to introduce our children to the pack and to name our son, Nikolai, as the future Alpha of the Gold Sun Pack.The triplets—Nikolai, Kiara, and Cole—sat in the back, their eyes wide with wonder. This was their first time visiting their father’s pack, and though they had grown up hearing stories of it, seeing it firsthand was something entirely different.As we entered the main pack terr
