ELVA’S POVLuna Rachel’s party happened to collide with the annual Moonshine festival. It fell into the second of the seven days of the Moonshine festival.Due to her party, her friends and pack members didn’t attend the second day of the Moonshine Festival which was being held by the Howling-fang pack.Luna Rachel, together with her Alpha, Gertrude, ruled the Pinewood pack. They had three sons who were all grown.The party was full of so many Alphas and Luna, but Luna Rachel still complained that it wasn't as full as her partyvwould be on a normal day.She was celebrating her 25th year as Luna of the Pinewood pack. She was one of the Lunas who had ruled the longest in their packs.The party started by evening. Songs filled the air as the mouthwatering aroma of food and wine filled the air as well.Mum had come with me, but we hadn't even gotten into the party hall before she left me and went to meet up with friends.I decided to take a walk around the Pinewood pack. Although their pa
DARIAN’S POV“Leave! Get out!”I folded my fists in anger as I watched Elina cower before me.“Why the sudden change of attitude?” She asked, “You wanted me until a few minutes ago. Why?”“Do you dare question your Alpha?” I asked her.“No,” she mumbled, bending her head low.“Good. Now, return to your house,” I ordered her.“Yes, sir,” she muttered, turning around and walking away with a towel wrapped around her chest.I went straight to my bed and lay facing the roof.The memories of Selena's mother were no longer disturbing me. Though, sometimes, I'd still dream of her.I ran my fingers through my head as I recounted how close I was to mating with Elina. I was just a move away from doing it. Her body, just like Elva's, was flawless. It took more than grit to resist her, especially when she suddenly became the one wanting me, trying to seduce me."Shit!" I banged my fist on my nightstand, "When is this fucking punishment ever going to end?! Huh? Moon goddess, this isn't fair at all!
ELVA’S POVI returned from a hunting expenditure with Lu and two warriors. We had gone to a bush to hunt deer. My dress was stained with rubbish from the soil as I had laid hidden before shooting at the deer that had gathered in a horde.Walking through the door, I met Mum standing and waiting for me."Elva, dear," she called me and I briskly walked up to her."Good morning, Mum," I greeted. She had been asleep when I left."Thank you, sweetheart," she said, "I need a minute of your time actually.""Okay, Mum," I answered, following her and walking toward the staircase that led upstairs.As we walked, she suddenly asked, "I heard that you and Jeffrey went to the Moonshine Festival together. Is that true?"Her face wore strong expectations."Yes," I answered mum."How did it go?" She snapped quickly."We went to the festival and came back. That's all there is to it," I said.Actually, Jeffrey and I kissed during the Moonshine Festival, and we almost made out, but I didn't let that happ
DARIAN'S POVIt was warm inside the castle. I still wondered why Elva had decided to come so early that morning."You can take off your jacket. It's warm here," I suggested."No, I'm good," she said, stopping by the entrance to the throne room. That wasn't where I was headed to.I turned around and glanced at her curiously, "why did you stop?""Let's go into the throne room. That's where discussions are done — not in your bedroom," she said."I've told you that we're not going to do anything," I said to Elva. "Are you a stranger to me that I can't take you to my room for a discussion?""I'm not but we have to be extremely careful so we don't make mistakes," she insisted."Let's go to my room, Elva. I'm not interested in doing anything with you," my voice cracked. "It's still too early. And it's not like we'd be together in bed while talking.""Hmm… Alright then," she agreed.We got into my room and she sat on the bed while I went to pull a wooden armchair from my study table."So…" I
ELVA'S POV"No, Darian. I'm not doing anything with you!" I revolted. However, I found my voice submerging into my throat."Your body says otherwise," he breathed onto my cheeks, "you want everything to do with me."Shivers ran through my spine at his words. I could understand the feeling I was having. I was very angry, but there was another feeling soaring inside me which I couldn't tell what it was."But I know I've hurt you enough already, Elva. After this last time, I'll let you fly away. There's a bigger life than this one with me," he said.My mouth ran out of words. I didn't know what to say anymore. Not even a "yes" or "no" could escape my lips."Allow me to please your body one more time," Darian said, raking his fingers through my hair and reaching down to my waistline.My legs weakened at his touch. I had never felt so turned on by him. I could feel a sudden warmness between my legs."I swear to you, this will be the last," he said, gripping my jaw and initiating a fiery ki
ELVA'S POVA month later, Demian visited the Haelstrom kingdom. When he learned of my breakup with his brother, he was disappointed, but he understood that it was for the best.Jeffrey had constantly been visiting the Haelstrom pack, expecting me to welcome him open-handed. However, I was yet to get over Darian, so I didn't give in to his silly game.I'd resisted Jeffrey for two weeks more until he suddenly came one day when I was sick. I suddenly fainted that afternoon. When I woke up in my room, I saw him seated in a chair beside my bed, sleeping with his head thrown back and his mouth open.I was surprised to see him. He usually visited during weekends when he was less busy. But it was a weekday and he was meant to be busy with his duties to their pack.I tapped him on his lap, "Jeffrey."His eyes opened and he blinked repeatedly before setting his gaze on me."You're awake, Elva," he was excited."Yeah. What are you doing here? In my room?" I asked."I was tending to your fever,"
ELVA'S POV"Princess Elva and Prince Lu, the queen demands your presence in the throne room," one of the maids said to Lu and me the next morning as we were heading to the dining room for breakfast."I knew this was coming," I said, "I guess breakfast will come as lunch today."***"So, explain to me, Lucius, why you suddenly picked a fight with our visitor yesterday," Mother demanded from Lucius when we got to the throne room."I don't have anything to explain to anyone," Lucius grumbled."It seems you're forgetting that I am your mother and the queen of this kingdom, and I still possess power from the throne!" Mum snarled, staring fiercely at Lucius as he turned his face away from her."I told you I don't have any—"Lucius' lips stopped moving when Mum's eyes turned red all of a sudden. Green veins started popping out on his skin and his muscles tensed up."Don't you dare disrespect me," Mum growled sternly as Lucius suddenly fell to the floor, "don't you dare!""That's enough, Mum!
DARIAN'S POVBulma was furious at my breakup with Elva. Day and night, he growled in anger, asking why I made such a stupid decision. No matter how I tried to explain to him, he wouldn't understand."I'll find you another mate, Bulma, just don't disturb my life today," I said one morning as I woke up from sleep.Demian was going to visit me today. He had come the previous week and promised he'd visit again by the next.I'd started my punishment all over again and was already a month into it.As I left the castle that morning, I met the elder wolves outside, waiting for me."Good morning, Alpha Darian," they greeted in unison.I raised a brow at them. It was unusual for them to come to meet me by that time of the morning."What do you people want today?" I asked them.One of them, Elder Paul, was always quick to answer. He was their mouthpiece, the snappiest of them all."There's an important reason that has brought us here, this morning, Alpha Darian," he began, "as you know, the toad
ELVA'S POVI was feeling very weak but surprised that the wolfsbane didn't affect me much. Almost as if I was going to die, I longed for Darian to come save me. I couldn't believe that I had been such a big fool who believed Nolan. I let him take such a big advantage on me.I heard noises like someone was fighting outside. I couldn't move, just sat there completely glued to the chair. My heart was pounding in my chest right now.The door suddenly burst open revealing Nolan. " You? What do you want?" I yelled at him.He didn't answer my question but just ran over to my side and untied me. " Let go of me, let go!"He gripped my hand tight. " We don't have much time and your stupid lover boy isn't here yet so I had to hurry back to get my men and save you," he explained.I didn't even have much strength. "Why isn't the wolfsbane affecting you?" He inquired." Because I'm a silver wolf," I answered him." Ohh," he trailed, nodding his head. " We better get going, I heard Haelstrom is unde
DARIAN'S POVElva hasn't come down and it's been quite some time now but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her. It was driving me insane because the palace was getting all filled up with Elva nowhere to be seen.I couldn't take it anymore and ran up to her room hoping that she would be there. I arrived and didn't even see Elva there. Her dress was still on top of the bed so that means she didn't go far.I checked the bathroom and closet but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart was pounding wondering where the hell she could have gone. I knew that she was so nervous but I never expected her to run away just like that.I should have tried harder. I didn't comfort her well and now she's gone, it's entirely my fault that she's gone. It's all my fault.I tried not to jump to any conclusions thinking that she probably wouldn't have gone far. I wanted to tell my beta but decided to just make sure that I could find her before jumping to conclusions.I called her phone multiple times but sh
ELVA's POVToday was D-day. I didn't feel any different rather I felt like nothing. I looked at my dress with different thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even know what to do or if I would ever be able to be a good Luna.I was sure that Darian didn't worry whether or not I was still with but it still troubled me daily and it's been very hard not to think about it. My body was somehow trying to correspond with my current situation.My face was filled with lots of unwritten expressions. I should have gotten ready but I couldn't bring myself to. I tried so hard not to give in to my thoughts but rather it was more disturbing to my mind, making my headache.I heard a knock on my door. I turned to go answer it. I opened it and saw Darian standing there looking charming as ever with such a handsome look. He was dressed in a normal black tuxedo and his head tied perfectly." You look charming," I complimented.He chuckled a bit and made a move to enter but I just blocked him. " This
NOLAN'S POVThe thought of having to lose my position weakened me. I couldn't visualize myself not being the alpha, I had to find a way to get Elva back at least to trick the people even if it's just for a little while.I thought that maybe I could try to get to them by using the nice guy stuff on them. I even tried making a great deal with Darian but that annoying asshole didn't even give a shit or cared about it.I thought that he would succumb to it once I promised to break the bond but it didn't help one bit. Instead, it made him more adamant and brutal and bluntly refused right to my face.I had to think of something and I had to get on with a plan fast otherwise all this would be gone. I noticed someone present in the room, I looked up at him only to find out that it was just a guard. The last thing I needed right now was bad news." What do you want?"" Good afternoon alpha," he greeted. " You have a guest," he told me.I raised my head, wondering who the guest could be. I knew
DARIAN'S POVI knew that the guy could never be nice. I knew that he was up to something which was definitely for his benefit. It was easy to grasp that this was just all of his plan and a way to make him let go of Elva so he could finally get what he's been longing for.I didn't know whether or not to tell Elva about it trying not to get her stressed out. We've only been back at his pack for a week now but a lot had been going on, I didn't want to stress her much, especially with the fact that her coronation was coming up.I shrugged off the thought and decided to go for a swim. I changed into just my boxers and jumped into the pool at once. It was just some kind of way for me to relax my body and let out all of my inner stress.Nolan could come ahead and fool anyone but he's most definitely not going to fool me because I could easily see right through his plan. It was more than clear that this was all of his motive and plan.I decided in my mind that I would try my best to make sure
DARIAN'S POVThe dead weight of what I had gotten myself into was mortifying. I didn't mean to lash out at Fabian just like that in front of everyone but I had just had more than enough from him and wanted nothing more but to just put him back in his place.I heard a knock on my door. I immediately composed myself and had to clear my throat before attending to the person at the door."It's me, Logan," I heard him say.I heaved a big sigh and drastically opened the door with different emotions popping up in me. " What do you want?" I asked, not really in the mood to see him" I came here to see you," he replied.I further opened the door, giving him more access to my room. He entered my room. " Sit," I offered him a chair not far from the couch.He sat down on the chair looming around the room. I could easily tell that he was hesitant to talk probably because of how intimidating I was sometimes and now he's debating in his mind." Are you going to speak or should I chase you out?" I thr
DARIAN'S POV" Are you kidding me? So you're telling me that he wants the throne instead?" Elva asked after I narrated the entire incident to her.I nodded in response and my eyes widened with shock. She tried eating something but right at the same time, no words came out of her mouth. She just kept quiet for a minute." So, what are your plans now?" She finally spoke up.I didn't even know whether or not I had a plan but something was for sure and it was making things more and more intense for me. My head was stuck with lots of mess." He just thinks that I'm not capable enough but I'll make sure to prove to him that it's beyond what he thinks," I said.She looked at me with a warm smile on her face as my beta came in with some sort of worried look on his face. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't any sort of trouble because I had to deal with more than enough." Good evening alpha Darian," he greeted, with a slight bow.I immediately ushered him back up, trying not to stress him much s
ELVA'S POV I seldom sat at the window side, counting all the days it's been without Ruya. He was finally gone and that empty feeling was back there in me once again, it was a feeling of pain and pure relief.My new wolf — Stephano wasn't a pain in the ass like Ruya and that was exactly what I liked about her. She may seem rude but rather she was lively and we got along well in such a way that even I couldn't describe it.I got off my feet and left the room deciding to go for a walk round the garden. I've been indoors for quite some time now and now I've subdued the fact that all I needed was just a little outing to get me going.I decided to let off the guards but they weren't too far off from me either. I just had to have them with me in case of anything and speaking of trouble, that was when I noticed Nolan not too far away.I made sure to stay at a safe distance where it would be easy to alarm the guards in case anything happened. I thought of walking over to him to try to get to
FABIAN’S POV"What do you mean she's a silver wolf?" I yelled out loud.I couldn't have been more furious with this discovery that had just been made. I can't believe that the more I thought that I was closer to achieving my goal, the more it was becoming useless for me.The girl whose name was Celia shrieked as I thundered loudly at her. My heart was totally pierced right now with this new maud discovery wishing I had known earlier which was why I made her go as a spy to the palace.She told me that some maids got a clue of what she was doing and just what she was up to. I couldn't let anyone discover what we've been up to so I made sure that she found a way to get rid of them.I had always kept a good reputation and couldn't risk having Darian suspecting me otherwise that would just ruin my entire plan and she would be the cause of it. I couldn't go back now so if she was planning anything she had better back down otherwise I would kill her with my own bare hands.She didn't even re
