last update Last Updated: 2025-02-02 22:23:18

It takes all my strength to stop myself from laughing at the panic on Liana’s face. Derek and Asher both look confused by her outburst but Liana pays them no mind and snatches the letter from Derek’s hands. “There must have been a mistake, this is actually for me. I’ve been expecting it.” “The guard said it was for Derek. Isn’t it addressed to him?” Asher says. “This actually says ‘the oracle of the moon goddess’, and that’s me Asher.” She replies. Is it? After a tense silence, she excuses herself and leaves the hall. My work here is done, so I shut the hidden door and make my way back to where I came from.

My new destination, is the hidden door to the office of the Luna. This tunnel is in even worse condition than the others I’ve been in so far. There are thick cobwebs lined with heavy layers of dust that pulls the cobwebs far from the ceiling. It is a struggle heading into a sea of thick, dusty cobwebs but I do it anyway. When I get to the secret door, I find that I don’t need to o

    “Alexa? Are you okay? You look kind of pale. Do you want to sit down?” Hope grabs my hand and I am grateful for the contact. My throat feels like its closing and my breaths come in short pants. I suddenly feel lightheaded. “Alexa!” Hope’s voice sounds like she’s screaming my name from underwater. “Hope, I can’t breathe!” I’m not sure if I get those words out but I know for a fact that I look at her with desperation and panic in my eyes. From the fog around me, I can feel Ida’s panic rising as she growls and growls, trying to reach me, but everything sounds like it is coming from far away and I am alone where I am, not even my wolf is with me. I close my eyes and count to ten in my head but when I open them, I find myself in a dark forest. All I can see are trees all around me. I catch a glimpse of red eyes in the dark but when I look again, they are gone. “Ida? Ida, can you hear me?” I call to my wolf but all I hear is silence. “Ida, please.” I am crying now, the tears flow freely fr

    “Who’s Ida?” Asher asks, effectively stopping me from running away from these confusing feelings. “Ida?” I say, turning to face him slowly with a fake ‘I’m confused’ expression on my face. “You mentioned the name quite a lot while you were asleep.” Asher says carefully, watching me with those sharp eyes of his, I needed be careful. “Oh Ida, she’s an old friend of mine.” I don’t remember ever telling Asher the name of my wolf when I was Genevieve, so I hope I’m right and lie. “Any particular reason why you kept on calling for her in your sleep?” he asks, not bothering to hide his curious stare. My mind flashes to the weird dream I had, those creepy red eyes in the darkness and the feel of those hands holding me down, swarming up all over my body. I shiver when I remember the laugh of the mysterious person, ‘it’ had called me Genevieve. “I have been away from home for a while, I guess I just miss her. She’s my closest friend.” Asher is about to say something more but I don’t think I h

    The next day, Liana looks like a new person and not the ill-behaved cat she was yesterday. Her face has a rosy glow to it and she has the look of a woman well satisfied (or at least I think she is satisfied. I don’t know how a satisfied woman looks like.) “Luna, you look well rested today.” Ally says with heart signs in her eyes. “Oh, I certainly feel much better today, thank you Ally.” Liana looks at me, like she’s expecting me to comment on the glow around her. “Luna.” I say with a half-hearted nod. Her smile falters a little bit but comes back, even brighter and wider than before. “You seem to be in a foul mood, Alexa. I hope your day gets better.” Oh, I know it will, I say to myself. Liana opens her door and falters when she sees the white envelope on her office floor, like it had been slipped in from the small slit under the door. Her smile dims a little bit, and it disappears completely when she sees that the ‘addressed to’ part of the envelope has ‘Oracle of the moon goddess?

    I’m not sure why I run away from the tunnel but my instincts tell me it was the right thing to do in that moment, so I ran. In the back of my mind, I realize that I just missed the best chance I had to see who Liana’s lover was but I remember the feeling I got back in the tunnel. The mystery man had suddenly turned and looked directly at me, it felt like he could see me peeking at them from the peephole. That was unlikely but, in that moment, I was so sure he had seen me behind the secret wall. Once I make it outside the residence of the alpha/luna, I take the time to catch my breath and collect my thoughts. I had just gotten more ammunition to use against Liana. Not only had she lost her position and powers as the oracle of the moon goddess, she was also cheating on Derek -her supposed mate. Cheating on your mate was one of the most painful things that could ever happen to the other mate, I still remember how I felt when Derek left me for Liana . Sometimes, it left the cheated mate

    Liana’s hands ball the letter into her fists, she grabs the coffee mug on her desk and hurls it across the room then lets out a scream of pure rage. The door opens and Ally with some guard-wolves rush into the room. “What’s wrong, Luna?” Ally asks. Everything, I say to myself. Liana throwing her mug across the room, has put me in the war zone of her rage. Glass shards pierce my arm and hot coffee splashes on my leg. I left Ally to calm the angry Luna down and went to treat my injuries. At least I knew I hadn’t misunderstood what I had seen, Liana was cheating on Derek. How long had it been going on? From the way they talked, it looked like they had known each other for a while, probably before she got mated to Derek and married him. Many parts of their conversation also didn’t make any sense to me. What had her lover meant by, they will be together soon? Weren’t they already together? The whole thing was confusing to me but I could think about that later. By the time noon had roll

    “What do you mean his aura is gone?” I ask Ida. I’m not sure where the panic is coming from but it feels strange to see such a powerful alpha wolf like this and Ida’s observation certainly doesn’t help. “It’s just like I felt with Liana, there’s something different about Derek as well.” I shake Derek with all of my might but he doesn’t wake up, he doesn’t even stir. “I need help.” I rush out of the hallway and spot some elders in the distance. I’m about to call for help when a thought hits me. Derek wouldn’t want them to see him this way, weak and powerless, it was going to make them disrespect him. Who could Derek trust to help him when he was like this? Asher. The answer is clear and simple. Even though I could sense some tensions between them lately, Asher would always fulfill his duty to help his alpha and longtime friend, putting all issues between them aside. I rush to the balcony, hoping that no one will come into the dim-lighted hallway and see the unconscious alpha yet and p

  • Return of the Rejected Luna   Chapter 41: “So you don’t feel guilty?”

    An alpha was blessed with an aura that made him powerful and the symbol of strength to the pack. Alphas always had a strength that set them apart from an ordinary werewolf, and made them an obvious leader. An alpha had the same abilities that werewolves had but they could it ten times, even hundred times better. They were just that unique. I couldn’t imagine what would make an alpha to lose that kind of strength and make him as weak as an omega –maybe even weaker. A weak alpha had dire consequences for a pack. It meant that there wasn’t a strong entity protecting them anymore. It could also mean that a beta could try to overthrow the alpha and become the new alpha himself, and some of these power struggle fights could lead to war and end up bloody. On the bright side, Asher doesn’t seem like the type of beta who coveted power, but still, there was no way a weak alpha meant anything good for the pack. “Alexa!” Liana’s voice brings me out of my thoughts and back into reality. “What?”

    I turn and face Derek who is sprawled on the chair, looking so sure of himself even when he’s delusional on drugs. His eyes are glassy and look unfocused but his words sound so true, even when they come out slurred. “You aren’t in your right mind, do you mean that?” Without flinching and with no hesitation, he replies, “I stand by every word I said.” Even though I knew it, his confirmation surprises me still and shockingly hurts me. I let out a small laugh. “Drunken words are really sober thoughts, huh?” “What do you mean?” “Did you ever feel something for… her?” “Never, you’re the only one I want, the only one I ever wanted.” But she doesn’t feel that way, I think to myself.Derek rises from the chair and staggers to where I stand at the window. “Are you feeling jealous because she was my mate?” When I don’t answer, he takes both my hands in his. “No doubt, you are the only woman I’ve ever loved.” A wave of nausea washes over me so I yank my hands from his and cover my mouth with the

    “They summoned you without an investigation? Isn’t that against the rules?” Hope screams out. “Shh, someone could hear you.” I say. “But this!” she holds out the summons letter and shakes it. “The Luna saw what she saw, I guess the elders took her word for it.” “Oh please, everyone knows the Luna has a problem with you.” “True, but she wasn’t the only witness.” Hope collapses on the sofa and sighs, finally out of complaints. “How are you so chill about this?” She asks me and I shrug.That morning, I had shown Hope and Jessa the letter then explained what had really happened and they were trying to come up with ways I could defend myself but I knew that with Liana involved, nothing I said would let me off the hook. The hearing was to take place by two in the afternoon and it was already thirty minutes past one. I was dressed in a simple dark blue gown with sandals and I had my hair down. Jessa had picked my outfit because according to her, the simpler and smaller I looked, the more the
