Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 36
From Arina's POV No words came out of her mouth as she stared at me. Her blue eyes were just a blank canvas. I found it rather interesting that she no longer had anything to say as she boldly walked in here to address Goddess only who knew what. It wasn't until Penelope walked into the room that everyone relaxed and she decided to speak. Penelope had a way of calming people down. She had a gentle voice and a kind demeanor that put everyone at ease. As soon as she stepped into the room, the tension in the air dissipated "Jessica, what a pleasant surprise," she said as she stepped next to Leonidas placing a gentle hand on the center of his chest. He turned to her and smiled. The anger radiating from him disappeared. "Habibi," she said to Leonidas, "da, ladayna 'ashya' 'ukhraa taqliq bishaniha" my brows furrowed as I had no idea what she said. He nodded and turned to Alexandre, who was standing a few feet away from me. His eyes glazed over and I felt they mind-linked one another. I l

From Zakara's POV "Zayla, your father's FATED MATE and keeper of your wolf." Her words rang in my ears, and I howled in pain at the sound of my mother's name. I pushed forward. "Eleni, please tell me what you are talking about?" I asked her. Eleni smirked "And what do you want me to tell you? You will find out soon enough." She said, "And when you do, I hope you dare to face it." Leonidas cleared his throat as he stepped forward. "You asked her to come here. The least you can do is answer the questions," he said. The room fell silent as everyone looked at Eleni, waiting for her response. She shifted uncomfortably, her eyes avoiding Leonidas'. Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke. "Very well," she said. "I did ask you to come but mainly because I wanted to see her." "You wanted to see who?" Alexandre asked her. Eleni tilted her head to the side and said "I wanted to see the majestic Delvhen Wolf." she paused for a moment "Tell me, Wolf, what is it like realizing that you could

Alexandre's POV Walking down to the cells was the longest walk I'd ever taken. My Lycan was restless pacing back and forth. I was scared and uncertain of what would happen. I was ready to do whatever it took to save my pack and protect my family. I just hoped it wouldn't come to that. "Will you sit still? You are making me dizzy" I told D'Artagnan. "Not everyone can be so calm in a time like this" he retorted as he walked further into the dark recesses of my mind. Taking a deep breath, I felt Arina nuzzle her face against my side in the midst of the walk. Feeling her close to me calmed the devil below and I loved the feeling. What should have been a short walk took longer as I was willing to drag it out as long as possible. Spending time with her was all I could think of. But I knew I couldn't rush it, as much as I wanted to I knew she needed to find herself. I let her take her time to find her way. I wanted her to be independent and sure of herself. I'd be there for her whenever sh

Alexandre's POV "Arina" Zeno's voice rang in my ears. I quickly snapped out of my trance as Arina fainted and fell to the ground. I rushed to her side, catching her just before she hit the floor. I cradled her in my arms, gently brushing the hair from her face. I looked up towards Zeno, anger rising in my chest. "You are dead" I yelled at him. I turned back to see my father still standing in his spot. There was no movement in his body. I didn't understand what was occurring. I tried to connect with Thiago but couldn't reach him. When I heard Zeno speak, "Let us get her to the couch and I will explain," he said. I growled and yelled at Zeno. "Who and what are you? What did you do to my father?" I demanded to know what was happening. "Dad" I heard Arina's soft voice. "I am here baby girl, it's me," he said, reaching for her hand. Suddenly growls came from behind us, turning around and I saw my father Lycan stalking towards us, followed by Thiago's Lycan. I quickly turned to Zeno who

From Arina's POV I couldn't believe my own eyes. I closed my eyes and reopened them thinking it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. I had already seen Eleni disappear into thin air and now here I imagined my father walking towards me. I could feel tears swell in my eyes. It wasn't until I heard Alexandre say his name that I knew I wasn't going mad. "It's him Arina" I heard Zakara whisper. He smiled at me and everything turned black. I woke up in Alexandre's arms. I heard growls from behind me. Exactly as I remembered him, my father stood tall and full of pride and courage, I ran in between him and the 2 Lycans standing before him. "Daddy?" I said looking at him in his eyes. He looked at me with nothing but love in his eyes, eyes that I once remembered had no life in them. "I have missed you," he said as he stepped towards me and embraced me. The tears I had held back fell from my eyes. As I hugged him, I felt safe and secure for the first time in many years. At that mome

Arina's POV "How could she see my future?" I asked my father, he smiled at me "She was a very powerful wolf." he said as he gently held my hand, "You look so much like your mother" he said a single tear falling from his eyes. Leonidas cleared his throat. "Let us get you set up in a room we shall reconvey after we rest," he said as he stood. We all stood and headed upstairs. As we walked up the stairs, I realized my father and my mate were under the same roof. I felt a wave of heat rush through me as Alexandre burst into laughter. I knew he had heard my thoughts. I looked over to my father who smirked at me. I felt my face flush as I realized he also knew. "Alexandre," my father spoke. Alexandre nodded at him and we all stopped in front of a room that I figured would be my father's "You know you are like a brother to me, but she is my daughter and the last thing I want to hear is the two of you, well you know" he said chuckling At that moment I wished I could disappear into thin air

Alexandre's POV I wanted to feel and taste her. I could no longer hold back. She told me she dreamt of us being intimate and that sent me over the edge. "Did you like it?" I whispered in her ear. She tilted her head to the side as I left small tender kisses on her lips trailing down to her jaw. I could feel her shiver as goosebumps rose on her skin. Her body language seemed to indicate that she enjoyed it, as her head turned to meet mine, and her skin shivered at my touch. Her eyes were closed and she leaned into me, a telltale sign that she was enjoying the moment. I felt her arms wrap around me and her lips gently pressed against mine. She opened her eyes and whispered, "Yes, I like it". I smiled and kissed her again, savoring the moment. A growl escaped from me as her arousal hit me like a freight train. I turned her towards the bed and laid her down gently. I moved closer and gave her a passionate kiss, my hands exploring her body. Her breathing became more rapid as her hands ro

Alexandre Pov The sounds of laughter filled the kitchen, something I hadn't heard for years. As I looked around I saw everyone gathered around enjoying the food that was served. "Good morning, nice to see you two here," my father said with a cheeky smile on his face. I nodded in acknowledgment as I pulled out the chair for Arina. Zeno stared at me with a look that suggested he had been well aware of what had just happened. Smirking at him across the table, I sat down. My father glanced between the two of us, his smile widening. He seemed to be enjoying the tense exchange between us. Arina, unaware of what was happening, thanked me for the gesture and took her seat. "Zeno, I hope you slept well," I said poking fun at him. I knew he was well aware of the pleasure I had given to his daughter last night and this morning but I couldn't help but throw it in his face. He scowled at me but I could see the hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. I knew he was grateful for the w

Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 59
From Arina's POV In the days that followed the meeting with Alpha Jax, or Grandfather as he would have me call him, we settled into the Running River pack quietly, well except Kiara as she kept tormenting everyone, taking their shoes and making a mess in the kitchen when she was fed, but regardless of whatever she did for some reason everyone loved her. Alpha Jax even stole her once and took a nap with her. He swears that he never did such a thing and that she had snuck into his room. Alexandre and I had not seen each other since we arrived. He spent all his time with Alpha Jax discussing everything we knew about Eleni, and then there was the Lycan Blood Pack that also required his attention. Thiago spent his time training with the warriors, saying, "I need to get better prepared for this epic battle that is coming." Of course, he still kept his sense of humor. I was just about to sit and relax on the back patio when I saw my dad approaching. "Hello, Arina," he said, sitting next

From Arina's POV I was nervous. I had no idea what to expect. The most terrible thoughts ran through my mind as we drove to the Running River Pack. Alpha Jax sent two cars, as he instructed; my father and I rode together while Alexandre and Thiago rode in the other car. "Relax, Arina; we are sure to be fine. Nothing terrible will happen; if anything, this is a positive thing," Zakara said as she pranced around in my head. For her, this was something extraordinary, but for me, this was uncharted territory, not to mention this was also my mother's pack we were going to, which had me even more on edge. I shifted in my seat, feeling uncomfortable. "Is everything okay with you?" My father's voice brought me out of my thoughts, and I smiled at him. "Dad, when were you here last?" I asked. With a heavy heart, he patted my head and smiled, "The last time I was here was the day I promised your mother I would return for her." I hugged him tightly, and tears started flowing down my face. We

From Alexandre’s POV As I let the hot water wash away the stress that had accumulated from the night's events, I could only think about what Arina had told us last night. I was shocked by her words, "Eleni is here." How could she have known? No one outside of my parents knew of the plan. I racked my brain, thinking about how she might have found out but kept coming up with nothing. Her claims left me dumbfounded, and no amount of hot water could rid me of the confusion and questions that filled my mind. Due to my loss of focus, I didn't notice when Arina walked through the shower door. I felt tingles running throughout my entire body as her hands caressed the small of my back. My eyes were drawn to her naked body under the water. Taking in the sight of her perfect breast, I let out a low growl as I moved closer, pressing my body against hers. I gently kissed her neck and felt her shudder in response. Our breathing quickened as we embraced each other, the water cascading over us. I fe

From Alexandre's POV During the flight to Sicily, I only thought of my parents. I knew they would hold Aella's funeral in a few hours. Goddess how much I missed her taunting voice. I was overjoyed when she came home because I knew she had been waiting so long to leave that place. Initially, Father sent her to school to study her gifts, but after one semester, she was fed up and decided to venture out independently. Having worked and built her powers alone, she returned home to find that our parents had already left, and I had taken the throne. I was so proud to see how far she had come. Even if I didn't spend much time with her, I knew she would have been a force to be reckoned with. I wanted to honor her legacy and keep her memory alive in some way. After twelve hours of flying, I was ready for some much-needed rest. The hotel was our first stop after getting off the plane. On arrival, we headed to pick up our rental. I notified the Alpha of the main pack that we would be arriving
Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 55
From Arina's POV It had been two days since we discussed leaving for Sicily. All of the arrangements had been made to accommodate Alexandre, Thiago, my father, and myself. Having said goodbye to Leonidas and Penelope, we headed for the airport. I was sorry that we would be leaving them at a time when we should all be together for Aella's funeral, but they understood. Bryan and maribelle had returned to the Okami pack. Bryan had not seen his family since he began helping me, so I knew he was happy to spend time with them. He vowed to bring them all back to Lycan Blood Pack after we returned. Alexandre hated the idea of me bringing Kiara along. However, I couldn't leave my beloved Frenchie behind, so I made sure the hotel could accommodate room for her. As our flight boarded at five am, we needed to leave early enough to get through security. To draw less attention from anyone or anything, Alexandre decided to fly commercial instead of taking one of his jets. The phoenixes followed

I stared at all the Phoenix on the front lawn. Different colors, different sizes, but with the same goal in mind: to protect me and to be here for me. I felt a sense of comfort and safety just looking at them. I knew that no matter what I faced, they would be there for me, a loyal companion through life. I was grateful for their presence. But I was also worried about them. Everyone knew that a Phoenix would burn itself and be reborn after some time, but the thought of losing them in battle was still heartbreaking. Alexandre was just as shocked as I was when he saw them. "What are we supposed to do with so many?" Thiago asked. Alexandre shrugged off his shoulders. Unable to form a coherent sentence I turned to him. "Do we need to go to Sicily?" I blurted out. He turned to me with confusion on his face. "What do you mean?" he asked. I explained that Zakara had mentioned that the answers we sought were there. "We have to be there before the next full moon," I said. I braced for his r

I sat up and stared into the trees. I watched as the red eyes glared at us, "Do you see it?" I asked Alexandre my eyes never leaving those of whatever was out there, when Alexandre stepped forward and said, "Come out Jessica?" he said, leaving me speechless. Jessica stepped out of the trees. Her lycan fur was light gray with a white stripe down her face and her red eyes never left me. I stared at her in shock. I had no idea how she got here or why she was here. She stepped forward and opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, I found my voice and asked her "What are you doing here?" She stopped and looked at me, her red eyes burning into me. She smiled, but there was something off about it. She said nothing and slowly turned to face Alexandre. "What do you want?" he asked sharply, his voice holding a hint of warning. There was a sudden chill in the air, and for a moment I felt as if I had stepped into a dream. Jessica shifted back to her human form, standing in front of
Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 52
From Arina's POV We planned on having the ceremony within two weeks' time. This would give everyone enough time to compose themselves and enough time to get informed of the entire kingdom of the Lycan Princess's death. Penelope decided to hire someone to do the catering and decor as she was not up to doing it herself. Once we settled on the day and time, Leonidas and Penelope returned back to their room. Bryan and maribelle stayed away this morning allowing the former King and Queen space. Thiago had not been seen since we arrived, so he too decided to give everyone space. My father had walked up to his room. He was silent the entire time and I knew he could relate to their loss having died himself. Alexandre and I decided to head out for our run, as we walked outside the three phoenixes waddled behind me the moment we stepped outside they took off into the air. Their wings were magnificent, and I had no idea what other mythical creatures would arise but I was excited to find out. Ki
