~Alpha King Zeeb~

For a moment, I was transfixed, wondering what was going on in the pack house. A knot of unease tightened in my stomach. I simply couldn't believe Heather had anything to do with Sia’s demise. The thought was absurd, a cruel twist of fate I refused to accept. I dismissed the ugly thought, I trusted Heather. If someone was playing an ugly mind game in my household, woe betides the person. My Alpha instinct screamed that someone within was toiling with my mind.

But what baffled me most was how several events happened within the pack house walls without my knowledge. It was a disturbing breach of security.

Since then, a string of dysfunctions has followed, like a curse upon my leadership. But this latest setup—I was utterly confused about it. Could it have anything to do with Logan? The thought sent a chill down my spine.

What if he had planted it as a decoy, a carefully orchestrated distraction to divert our attention from other, more sinister things? It would

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   45. A change of plans?

    ~Alpha King Zeeb~ "I better run off before I get late," Maya said, and I nodded, bidding her goodbye. I wondered why she would set off to college so early. I didn't want to pester her with a barrage of questions, she was Luna after all. "Take care of yourself, Maya." "I will." She offered a small smile, although her eyes looked confused. I watched her retreating figure disappear down the hallway, a nagging unease settling in my stomach. Who on earth was behind this setup? Was it still one of Logan’s elaborate schemes? I didn’t know for sure, but at this point, anything even remotely suspicious pointed squarely at him. I didn't trust him one bit. The man was a master manipulator, and I wouldn't put anything past him. Sensing a presence behind me, I turned sharply to see Aurora standing with her eyes cast down, her posture was hesitant. A wave of pure rage washed over me as I watched her nervously toy with the hem of her sleeve as if she didn't have a single clue in the world

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   46. An untamed wolf

    ~Ivory~ I parted ways with the King, heading straight to Regina’s place to check on her. I didn't want to let the nagging truth about the package get the better of me. I had plans ahead of me, and I had promised myself yesterday that I would no longer invest my emotions heavily in matters that had to do with the King. I have prioritized my goals over distracting entanglements. Whoever was setting such a trap with the package would fail woefully. The King’s actions after our intimate encounters were proof that I might be investing my emotions again in someone who was incapable of loving me as I wish, and I was resolute to keep my heart in check. I wouldn't want someone who was only after physical desires, blind to nurturing a meaningful connection with me. If I found love again, I deserved one that was all-encompassing and meaningful. Anything less would be a waste of precious emotions. Moreover, reckless love was not something I could afford to indulge in presently; it would be

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   47. Annoying mistress

    ~Ivory~As I walked past the King and Aurora, I felt the weight of their gazes upon me, their intense stares slitting through the air like a palpable force. I resolved not to break my stride; I didn’t want to acknowledge their presence. The room had fallen into a frosty silence as soon as they saw me. But I didn't spare them a glance. “Maya, were you in a fight with a chimera this time?” Aurora’s voice cut through the silence, my name from her lips forcing me to stop in my tracks. Her words were obviously a subtle attempt to mock me, dampen my ego. My blood boiled. Did she even know what it takes to face a chimera? Talk more; engage in a fight with it. If she had any idea how much I didn't want to hear the sound of her voice, she would have bottled her words in and allowed the silence to mask our feelings. I turned to face them, feigning a small smile as I replied, “It's Luna, Aurora. Do you need a whisperer to remind you every time you want to address me that you have to address me

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   48. A meeting with assessors

    ~Ivory~The head omega’s voice crackled through the speakeasy, interrupting the tense atmosphere that almost held us captive. “Regina has been waiting, Luna. She sends words,” she announced, her tone singsong. King Zeeb’s gaze, which had been intently fixed on me, finally flickered, his eyes turning to the direction of the door. I huffed softly before making my way to the speakeasy to respond. “I will be with her shortly, Mrs. Gary. In the meantime, please serve her some finger chocolate pancakes. She must be famished from our intense learning.”“Right away, Luna. Your words are well understood,” she acknowledged, her voice fading into the distance as she retreated to carry out my instructions. I heard the soft clicks of her footsteps getting fainter, indicating that she had withdrawn from the room. I had to be more careful considering the strange package I received. I turned my attention to the King and said, “I’m afraid I’ve got to hurry. I have a meeting with Professor Talisman

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   49. Challenging their norm

    ~Ivory~ I gulped hard, my vision spinning from the impact of the news I just heard. Flashes of my past came flooding back, trying to engulf my thoughts. “Whore! Cheat!” The cruel words once hurled at me all echoed in my mind, threatening to crash my perfect composure. The memories I thought I had buried surfaced. It lasted for a few seconds, but it felt like eternity. But this was the beginning of a perfect revenge. I will bring Alaric to his knees; his ego will come crashing. He dared give orders to kill me without so much as a whisper of justification? He killed one who loved him dearly. He must dance to the tune of the music he has played. And as for Valerie, her freaking guts to displace me! She shall feel the pain I felt, the turmoil that burned my heart to ashes and nearly ravaged my soul. With a deep breath, I regained my composure and cleared my throat softly. “Permission will only be granted for such if the Alpha is critically ill—most extreme circumstances. Not par

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   50. The dark witch of Gar

    ~Ivory~ “Maya!” I heard the name repeatedly; it came with urgency. The King’s voice was unmistakable, loud and clear. But something was off—the King was not close, not anywhere around me as I scanned the plane. I was certain that I wasn't hallucinating, but the voice was clear in my mind. “Riley is dying,” his voice boomed again. This time, the voice seemed to be echoing in my mind, coming from within, which was strange and unsettling. Again, my eyes scanned the space frantically in search of clues, but King Zeeb was nowhere around. He wasn't present after all, yet his voice was still resonating in my mind. As if with a disembodied ghost, his distress whisper came again, but this time, slowly, then into a loud telepathic hum, “Stay, Riley, stay with me.” It felt like my senses were in a taut line hitch, unable to untangle themselves. I couldn't decipher what was at play. But when my wolf began to stir, it occurred to me that it was a mind-link instead! A mind-link? But h

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   51. Trick of Steele

    ~Ivory~That would be a drastic measure—inviting the dark witch of Gar. Known for her dark rituals, she would not only eliminate the enemy who had wronged her summoner but also hunt down the bloodline of the enemy and extinguish their lineage. It hadn’t come to that. That would be calling for a total wipeout of the families of all those involved in Riley’s illness, both the innocent and guilty. Was this part of the king’s formidability? The very thought of erasing entire bloodlines was a chilling prospect. What if, in the worst-case scenario, the perpetrator was someone close to the King, his own blood? I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a testament to his strong commitment to justice or the darker formidability of his nature.As my eyes met his tired gaze, I glimpsed an undercurrent of vulnerability beneath his wary gaze. Indeed he was King of all Kings, but I sensed that deep down, he was struggling to conceal the anguish from Riley's illness. Even though he couldn't say it alo

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   52. Obsessed with him

    ~Aurora~ Zeeb disappointed me, shattering the dream life I had fantasized about with him. How would you feel if the only man you have always ever dreamt of left you to chase shadows? Terrible was how I felt. I thought I was the one for him, the one who held a special place in his heart. He had a way of making me feel seen, heard, and loved, just the way he did with his sister, Heather. I remember how he’d never give her sister gifts without gifting me; he’d return with two gifts in hand—one for her and one for me. A thoughtful gesture that made me feel as though I was just as important to him as Heather. As I grew older, my affection for him intensified, and being around him was something I always yearned for. Even before he was crowned king, I had nicknamed him ‘king’ because that was who he was to me. But everything changed after his eighteenth birthday. And when that witch came into his life, he never spared me a second glance. He chose Adeline, although he knew I yearned

    ~Alpha King Zeeb~“I’ll head in first,” Maya said, walking out of the balcony even before I could respond.As the balcony door closed behind her, I released a frustrated grunt and ran a hand through my hair, tussling the strands.She was pulling away, but not because of the kiss. No, the withdrawal that was evident on her face and in her scent wasn’t something that had just popped up. It had been there, brewing since the night we came to Father’s territory.What was going on?My wolf whined at the realization that I knew little about what was bothering our mate, and that, in turn, bothered me.I didn’t like Maya’s withdrawn demeanor, but could I really blame her? I wasn’t exactly sure what had been making her uncomfortable. So much had happened, and was still happening, and her attitude was… understandable.I had felt the frustration and stress radiating off her, but at the same time, the confusion in her scent and the way she tried so hard to put on a mask told me there was more.And

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   76. Curiosity

    ~Ivory~ I pulled away, shoving Zeeb in the chest to create some distance between us, my eyes wide as I turned toward the door. But… no one was there. We were alone, with the door slammed shut behind us as it had been when Zeeb first walked in. But that couldn’t be possible. I frowned, recalling vividly that Zeeb had indeed shut the door behind him when he entered. So, the only way the door could have opened was if someone else had come in. Which meant… An icy chill snaked down my spine as the possibility hit me that someone might’ve seen us kissing. I turned my gaze sharply to Zeeb. “Someone was here.” Zeeb frowned but didn’t respond immediately, as though he was trying to figure something out, most likely trying to detect who had been spying by the lingering scent in the air. But even for him, it seemed like a daunting task to tell, especially with so many guests at the party, scents flying around. But I wouldn’t deny the fact that he also had abilities far surpassin

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   75. Acceptance or manipulation?

    ~Ivory~My eyes flew open at the unexpected reveal.“R-Rendering them human?” I repeated, genuine surprise lacing my voice.Being a special Luna from the Legend was one thing, but possessing a power so unimaginable… that was something else entirely.My brows furrowed as I tried to digest the information I had just been given. I could feel their eyes—Zeeb’s, Vinita’s, even Dimitris’s—all fixed on me, watching closely, silently waiting.But for what?A reaction? A decision? A sign that I understood what this meant?Dimitris was the first to speak, breaking the silence that had stretched on longer than I would have liked.“This power… it changes everything,” he said quietly, his voice laced with both awe and caution. His eyes remained locked on mine. “You need to understand what you are now and what that means for all of us.”“What it means for all of us?” I asked. A second passed, and when no one answered, the silence became its own kind of response. Then, like a thread snapping loose i

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   74. Special Luna

    ~Ivory~ Confusion washed over me as I looked between Vinita and Zeeb, trying to understand what had prompted Vinita’s reaction and Zeeb’s words. The growing whispers in the room weren’t helping either. “Something special?” I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly. “What exactly are you talking about?” Zeeb’s smile remained, but from his eyes, I could tell even he was trying to wrap his head around the words he had just spoken. Nonetheless, he nodded and took a step forward, reaching out to touch me. It wasn’t intentional—more like an instinctive reaction to being thrown into the spotlight so suddenly. With all the watchful eyes on us, I instinctively took a step back, avoiding his touch. Zeeb’s face fell ever so slightly. It wasn’t a pleasant sight, and I felt the urge to apologize—to let him know I wasn’t avoiding his touch because I hated it but because I had been caught off guard, overwhelmed by all the eyes and whispers surrounding us. But there were more pressing matters

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   73. The one with the gift

    ~Ivory~"We've heard so much about you. We're so glad to finally meet the famous Maya in person." A regal couple, whom Dimitris introduced as the Alpha and Luna of moonpack, extended their hands for a handshake, which I gladly took, accepting their greetings."Thank you very much for your kind words," I replied, still feeling awkward to be put under the spot. The Luna then proceeded to gush about my beauty."Everyone spoke of your beauty, but seeing you in person surpasses all expectations. You are indeed a catch." I gave a nervous chuckle as she continued, remarking on my pale skin and we fell into an easy conversation, the tension I felt earlier long forgotten. There was something about them that I found comforting. Another couple approached. I recognized the man from the assessment as a board member. Though we exchanged pleasantries, I sensed a subtle hostility in the way their eyes burned, the scrutiny, and the way they exchanged knowing glances between themselves, but I couldn't

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   72. Settling in

    ~Ivory~I leaned into Zeeb’s touch. For a moment, I almost lost myself in his arms, everything fading into a blur around us—and that was what scared me. I was scared of losing myself yet again. I wanted to open up, to tell him about Mrs Nora and the visions I got, but I didn't know how. I didn't know where to start. So instead, I bottled it all up. “Please leave before anyone sees you here.” Instead, I pushed him away, afraid of confronting whatever this was. No matter the bridges I created between us, Zeeb always found a way to fill in the gaps.He was reluctant at first. I knew he wanted to oppose me, to challenge me, to say he didn’t care about being seen. It was right there, at the tip of his tongue, but he sighed, his shoulders slumping briefly before he nodded and placed a lingering kiss on my forehead.I watched him walk away. My wolf snarled at the back of my mind, crossed with me for ruining the moment with her wolf, but I couldn’t afford to entertain her shenanigans. Instea

  • Revenge Of The Forgotten Luna   71. Surprise party

    ~Alpha King Zeeb~ “So…” I trailed off, clearing my throat to gain Father’s attention. His normally hard features softened slightly, and I knew this was the perfect moment to finalize the discussion. No matter how difficult he was trying to be, I reminded myself that I was doing this for Heather. “About the mating ceremony…” His shoulders tensed instantly, a clear sign that this was a sore topic for him. He shook his head in disapproval before I could even finish. “We’ve been over this,” he said in a low, firm voice. This time, he fully turned toward me, his gaze sharp. “As far as I am concerned, no lineage of mine will be tied to bad blood, soiling our perfect generation. Derrick and Heather happening is out of the question, and that is final.” I clenched my fists, swallowing the fury bubbling inside me. Once again, Father was doing the same thing—dictating our lives under the guise of protection. I knew he had our best interests at heart, but his love came at a cost. I could

    ~Alpha King Zeeb~“Look who we have here.” Father’s voice carried the same quiet authority it always did, though his eyes never left the checkers board in front of him. He cleared his throat, tapping a red piece absentmindedly. “If it isn’t the almighty King himself.” He added, mumbling under him breath. I playfully rolled my eyes and exhaled, pulling my hands from my pockets. “Good day to you too, Father,” I said in a monotone voice, settling into the seat across from him.A ghost of a smirk played on his lips before disappearing just as quickly. Without looking up, he nudged a piece forward. “Your turn.”I rolled my sleeves up to my elbows, already recognizing the challenge in his voice. He was being his usual self—dictating the pace before I even agreed to play.He’d already decided we were playing before I even sat down.“I don’t recall agreeing to a game.” I grazed a piece, considering my next move. “…You always take the center first.” I completed, moving the pieces.

    ~Ivory~ What in the world is going on? I swallowed down my saliva hard, confusion twisting in my gut as I watched Mrs. Nora unravel completely before my eyes. “Nooo!!” she screamed loudly this time, her voice hoarse from sheer anguish, she pulled and tugged at her hair with frantic desperation, one which was unsettling. Her wide, unblinking eyes shimmered with terror as she twitched. “Bunch of liars… they are all a bunch of liars!” Her sudden outburst sent a shiver through me. Her wild gaze darted around the room as if looking for an escape before snapping to mine. For a moment, I swore she was looking right into my soul, searching for something, as if I were a piece of a puzzle she had long been trying to fit together. Something in the way she looked at me—like she knew me, as if she was seeing something beyond my flesh and bone. It sent ice through my veins. It was something more than just recognition. Almost like…. desperation, as if she were trying to reach me, to pull me into
