โWhat do you think about this? Is it a suitable gift for a woman?โ His gruff voice cut through my reverie, catching me off-guard while pulling me away from being lost in his magical eyes.I blinked, noticing the object he was dangling in front of me. It was a pair of beautiful stone earrings.Was I guessing correctly? Could he be the Logan Iโd heard so much whispers about? He didn't look anything like the wicked man from the rumors. In fact, the smile on his face carried a warm charm that drew me in effortlessly.โOh yes, I think itโs quite an exquisite pick,โ I replied, realizing I had been staring for too long. But I just couldnโt get over how ethereal he looked. He was the spitting image of the King.โThank you. Have a great day,โ he said, his smile broadening, revealing perfect, pearl-like teeth. Before I could reply, he turned on his heels, the scent of citrus and oakwood trailing behind him.I stood there torn. What

(Alaricโs POV)โNo way, Alaric. What do you mean by deerskin? Itโs wolf or nothing! Get that straight.โ Valerieโs cheeks flushed red with rage as she paced around the room. โDo you want to make me an object of mockery? Is that your aim all along?โI sighed, pressing my temples, feeling the frustration seep into my voice slowly. โIvory never gave me this much trouble, Valerie. But I can't say the same for you; you are always on my neck looking for trouble." The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.Her lips parted in disbelief, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop. I didn't even regret saying it, and the truth was that Valerie and I had been clashing more often than not. She is too stubborn, and not only as a wife but also as Luna, she challenged me at every turn, always pushing back on my decisions.โBut you know that canโt happen,โ she snapped while crossing her arms. My son cannot wear ordinary deerskin! He is th

~IVORY~Arghhh. I held my head, this canโt be. The world around me spun, their presence triggering something I thought I had long buried.Bind this vile woman! The memories of my execution replayed in my mind like a cracked cassette. My ears picked up a long, piercing sound. Alaric and his two men also stopped in their tracks. I recognized the other โ Kaiden. โIvory!"I heard someone call out. I didn't know if it was real or in my subconscious, and without waiting for a second, I turned on my heels, tuning out on any conversation and hurrying away.Tears blurred my vision as the sharp wind slapped against my body. It was too painful for me to handle, both physically and mentally. I didnโt know which one was draining me more.Branches sliced at my legs, but I ignored them, running straight to the beautiful meadow where the King had first found me.It felt too hard to breathe. I was heaving, trying to take in as much

~Alpha Zeeb~โWhat do you mean sheโs gone?โ I responded to Heatherโs link as I shot to my feet almost immediately. How could she be missing within the fortified walls of this pack? It didnโt seem possible. My chest tightened as I charged toward Heather, the weight of anxiety pressing down on me. Careful not to draw attention to the situation, I forced myself to stay composed. This needs to stay low-key for now. I grabbed Heatherโs elbow and guided her to a secluded spot where I was certain no one could overhear our conversation. โWhatโs going on, Heather?โ She was restless, pacing back and forth. โIโฆ I donโt know, Zeeb,โ she stammered. โShe said she was going to see Regina and promised she wouldnโt take long. But when I checked, she was gone. Iโve searched everywhereโitโs like she vanished.โโShe must still be within the pack. Calm down Heather.โ I said, mind-linking Jerome to stay low-key but help with the search.We disperse

~Alpha Zeeb~ I became enraged as Aurora slowly approached me, her hips swaying with a mischievous glint in her eyes. She placed her hand on my back seductively. Immediately, I swatted her hand away with enough force to make her stumble. Her eyes widened, too stunned by my reaction. I was already in a sour mood, and her presence only worsened it. What if someone was looking? โStop it. Are you slow, or canโt you get it through your thick skull that you should stop this?โ I barked, trying to level my anger. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off. โYour attempts to seduce me will fail. This is you disrespecting my Luna, and I wonโt let it continue. The earlier you stop trying, the better for you.โ This wasnโt the first time she had done this. Ever since Maya came into my life, Aurora had become unbearable, obsessive. I never knew she was this bold. I recalled the night after the battle with t

(Ivory) Alpha Logan? I watched as he slowly made his way toward us. โOh brother, I think youโve forgotten this pack is as much yours as mine. But I am not here to cause trouble.โ I watched him smirk, completely unbothered, radiating arrogance. There was something about him that intrigued me, though not in a romantic way. I couldnโt quite place it. His aura was commanding, almost as powerful as the Alpha Kingโs โ intense and authoritative, just as Heather described. But even with all his dominance, he still fell short where King Zeeb excelled. The King remained unmatched, an untouchable force. Their exchange turned tense as Alpha Logan mentioned Adeline, offering insincere condolences. His words dripped with mockery, making his intentions crystal clear. He wanted to provoke the Alpha King. โBut it seems youโve forgotten your golden Adeline. Iโm disappointed you couldnโt even mourn her death as you should a true Luna,โ

~Ivory~ย I remained rooted in place. This cannot be! The news of Siaโs death came as a shocker, and cold dread slowly crept up my spine, my legs suddenly feeling too heavy to walk as I turned back toward the party.ย From where I stood, I saw the King, deeply engrossed in a conversation with some of the pack guards, his face drawn into a frown. Murmurs soon filled the room. What had been a place of celebratory cheers now echoed with the mournful sorrow of death.ย Deathโa joy snatcher, claiming lives where, when, and how it pleased. An inevitable appointment no one could escape in our world, no matter how far they ran. But something about this death unsettled me. It was clear this wasnโt a natural cause but rather a sinister ploy. Was someone lurking in the shadows, using Sia as bait?ย The town crier announced once again, โSorrow, sorrows!

~Ivory~ I turned my sharp gaze to Heather, whose face was red with silent rage as she breathed heavily. It looked like she had a lot to say. Even I was shocked at myself for speaking up. I had grown intolerant of anything that caused me discomfort. I could admit that I had changed, not just physically, but mentally. I was no longer the quiet, submissive Ivory who stayed silent and accepted whatever was thrown her way. Tonight was supposed to be about me, my momentโbut they had ruined it all. I had expected more from King Zeeb, and the least he could have done was not let Logan get under his skin, especially when it was clear that had been Loganโs goal from the very start. Heather blinked and sighed. โI know their feud is starting to get on your last nerve, Maya, but you didnโt have to say it that way. You donโt know how much Zeeb has endured.โ The storm in my head began to clear as I listened to Heather, slowly calming down. โItโs unfortunate that Logan nearly messed up the

~Ivory~ I suspected Alpha King might have taken Riley away to her room as he did oftentimes, so I didnโt panic. Instead, I slipped into her room to confirm that she was there and alright. And there she was, sleeping soundly, her chest rising and falling steadily with her soft, low snore. I stood beside her bed, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. Her serene reaction to my touch softened my heart; what a child she was. And then, I caught a familiar scentโstrong, masculine, and distinctly his. My wolf stirred, giddy with excitement as he entered the room. โI offended you last night, didnโt I?โ His deep voice resonated, sending a shiver through me. I didnโt turn around, even as his brooding presence loomed behind me. He moved to sit in front of me, taking my hands in his large, warm ones. Sparks ignited at his touch, spreading warmth through me as he gently grazed my fingers with his thumb. I avoided his gaze, still agitated, but his fingers reached up, brushin

~Alpha King Zeeb~โIโll head in first,โ 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 wasnโt something that had just popped up. It had been there, brewing since the night we came to Fatherโs 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 didnโt like Mayaโs withdrawn demeanor, but could I really blame her? I wasnโt exactly sure what had been making her uncomfortable. So much had happened, and was still happening, and her attitude wasโฆ 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

~Ivory~ I pulled away, shoving Zeeb in the chest to create some distance between us, my eyes wide as I turned toward the door. Butโฆ 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 couldnโt 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 meantโฆ An icy chill snaked down my spine as the possibility hit me that someone mightโve seen us kissing. I turned my gaze sharply to Zeeb. โSomeone was here.โ Zeeb frowned but didnโt 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 wouldnโt deny the fact that he also had abilities far surpassin

I could feel their eyesโZeebโs, Vinitaโs, even Dimitrisโsโall 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.โThis powerโฆ it changes everything,โ he said quietly, his voice laced with both awe and caution. His eyes remained locked on mine. โYou need to understand what you are now and what that means for all of us.โโWhat it means for all of us?โ 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 Lunaย ย ย 74. Special Luna
~Ivory~ Confusion washed over me as I looked between Vinita and Zeeb, trying to understand what had prompted Vinitaโs reaction and Zeebโs words. The growing whispers in the room werenโt helping either. โSomething special?โ I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly. โWhat exactly are you talking about?โ Zeebโs 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 wasnโt intentionalโmore 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. Zeebโs face fell ever so slightly. It wasnโt a pleasant sight, and I felt the urge to apologizeโto let him know I wasnโt 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

~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

~Ivory~I leaned into Zeebโs touch. For a moment, I almost lost myself in his arms, everything fading into a blur around usโand 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. โPlease leave before anyone sees you here.โ 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 didnโt 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 couldnโt afford to entertain her shenanigans. Instea

No matter how difficult he was trying to be, I reminded myself that I was doing this for Heather. โAbout the mating ceremonyโฆโ 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. โWeโve been over this,โ he said in a low, firm voice. This time, he fully turned toward me, his gaze sharp. โAs 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.โ I clenched my fists, swallowing the fury bubbling inside me. Once again, Father was doing the same thingโdictating 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

I playfully rolled my eyes and exhaled, pulling my hands from my pockets. โGood day to you too, Father,โ 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. โYour turn.โI rolled my sleeves up to my elbows, already recognizing the challenge in his voice.

I swallowed down my saliva hard, confusion twisting in my gut as I watched Mrs. Nora unravel completely before my eyes. โNooo!!โ 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. โBunch of liarsโฆ they are all a bunch of liars!โ 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 meโlike 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.
