It’s been two days since the incident and I haven’t heard anything about Mikey. No one mention anything about him even my mother and Aunt Nikki. I wanted to ask them several times but I know that I shouldn’t. “Penny for your thoughts?” DK said breaking the silence. “Not really thinking of anything,” I replied. “Your face tells me otherwise,” he said with a ghost of a smile on his face. “By the way,” I said trying to change the subject, “Was the issue in your pack resolved?”“Yeah,” he answers but never gave me any additional details and the ride to the training academy became uncomfortably silent. I tried to sneak a peak at DK but just like always, he never gave away any sign about whatever was troubling him. As we reached the training academy we both went our separate ways as he went to his team and I went to mine. As I reach my side I searched for Mikey’s team only to see Ollie talking to their team. “He’s not there,” Chloe said as she stood beside me. “Who?” I ask pretending
It’s been four days since I last saw Mikey and still, I haven’t heard anything new. So many times I was on the verge of asking my parents, uncle, and aunt but I stopped myself. No news is good news, right? But not knowing is still hard, and the only thing that’s been keeping me from running directly to him is my contract with DK. There were so many times when I almost told DK to forget about the contract but then there was a clause there that keeps me from doing that. The clause that says, I will be his Chosen Luna for real. I know that I had mentioned how the contract benefits me more than it benefits him and it was because he said yes to every demand that I had made. In return, he just had one request, and it was for me to be his Chosen Mate for three months. Of course, there will be a consequence if the contract was broken. And the things that would break it are:Falling in love with each other.Ending the contract before the given time. Telling other people about the contract.
The sun rises from the horizon, but I can see dark clouds slowly looming over the mountains. I have a feeling that today would be a very long day.It was the day of the tournament and I can’t help but be nervous. I know that we don’t stand a chance but at the same time the competitive side of me didn’t want to lose. My team and I pour our hearts into our training but I have to admit that we still have a lot of things that we needed to learn. And I know in time we can all get stronger.“You okay?” DK asks, pulling me out of my thoughts as he drives us to the training academy.“Just nervous, I guess,” I replied. “I believe in you,” DK replied with a smile, “I know that you can win the tournament,” he added.“Don’t flatter me,” I said, “You don’t have to flatter me.”“You know that I don’t really need to do such a thing,” DK replied, but instead of answering him back, I just looked out of the window and watch the trees that passes us by until we reached the place of the tournament, t
It’s been weeks since the match I had with Uncle Calvin. And boy did it get me so much trouble. Even though Uncle Calvin took most of the blame, Still, I was not free of the punishment. Especially my jumping-over-the-window antic. I was part of the Elite warriors and doing such a thing sets a very bad example. Because of this, Alpha Drake was forced to ground me from going to the Training Academy. It took me almost four days for my body to heal, including some broken ribs. I found out later, when Uncle Leon visited me, that Uncle Calvin cast a spell on the bond that he made with me. Which didn’t allow just anybody to go into the ring and stop the fight. He also said that Anya’s action didn’t mean a thing. That she was just doing it out of the friendship that she had with me. But still, a small glimmer of hope lighted my dark heart. While I was grounded I was not permitted to go anywhere else but the pack house and my home. Which is why I decided to pay my biological parents a vi
I can still remember how many times I have prayed for this moment to come. To ride Mikey's back again just like before. I can still remember the excitement I feel every time I think about it. I was just not expecting that things would turn out this way. ‘Hold on tight Little Wolf,’ Mikey said through the mind link as he continue to run. ‘Mikey, Anya,’ I heard my father’s booming voice through the link, ‘Find another route, stay away from the control tower, it’s not safe here,” He added. ‘Mikey,’ his voice became serious, ‘Take care of my daughter,’ and then the line went silent. ‘Dad!’ I shouted as I try to reconnect the line, ‘Dad!’ But there was no response. Mikey didn’t say anything, he just keep on running and followed what my father said. He changed his direction and started running away from the control tower. Which meant that we would be going deeper into the forest. As much as we want to go to the pack house we won’t be able to because there was only one way to go there
I woke up just before the sun rises and found Mikey still awake. He was seated at the same spot as last night, guarding the door. I look at his face to find some hints of his thoughts but I can’t find none. I guess he is back to the old Mikey that I know who is so good at hiding his feelings and his thoughts. I can’t help but wonder how he took what I said. Is this really how we end?The sound of the phone ringing broke the heavy silence that hung over us.Mikey stood up as he answers the phone and walk outside. And when he came back I slowly sat up to let him know that I was awake. “Good morning,” he greeted with a smile. “Good morning,” I replied. I look at him as he rummage through his backpack and took out some nutribar.“Is this okay for breakfast?” He asks and I nodded, as he walks towards me to hand me one.“I receive a call from your father,” Mikey said as he sat in front of me, “It’s safe to go home now,” he added as he opened the nutribar in his hand and started eating
Once we got home, I found out that there were a lot of warriors that ended up getting hurt but thankfully they were able to minimize casualties and damages.Because of the surprise attack, Uncle Drake requested a meeting that consists of his few trusted people, and most of them are those he considered as family. When I reached his office, Aunt Athena cast a spell that would seal the room from the inside. No one uninvited will be able to enter and no one outside will be able to hear anything that was discussed from the inside. Those in attendance are Aunt Nikki, Uncle Calvin, and Uncle Leon, and to my surprise, even my father was there. “It’s been a while since we have encountered rogue wolves,” Uncle Drake started to say, “But what happened yesterday was something that was definitely planned.” “Someone in our pack is using black magic,” Aunt Athena said. “I set up a shield for the tournament area and upon investigation, someone destroyed a part of that shield from the inside.”“Ha
DK has not spoken to me ever since I came home. But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t care. He became more cautious and alert ever since the attack and even asked my parents to let him stay closer to me to ensure that he will be there to save me when needed. They say actions speak louder than words. Then DK definitely showed through his actions just how much he cared. The truth is, he was more actions than words because he haven’t said anything to me since I came home. And I never asked because I was afraid of the questions that he would ask back.I would have understood him for not speaking to me for one day, but this is the third day now. I have to admit that DK was so good at doing his part that no one noticed that there was something wrong with us. As for me, I already had enough of the silence and enough of walking on eggshells around him. That’s why I was preparing myself to talk to him after our training today.This was the first day that I will be back at the training acade
It’s been five years since the war ended, but there were still times when I would be so afraid that the horrors would come back again. But then my family would come and remind me that no matter what happens we will always get through them. Anya still hated me for the way I acted that day as I approached Isabel. She hated me because she almost lost me. But then it was also because of what happened we finally found what DK’s power was. If my power was death, DK was life. Which explains how he was able to pull me out of death’s arm. We were the extreme of everything, and Anya was the balance in between. Which is why we were Fated with each other. I have to thank my mom. She was one of the reasons why I survived. Turns out she was right, we would have triplets and I have a daughter who was as unique as her brothers. Her hair was black on the crown of her head which slowly changed to blonde by the ends of it. A perfect combination of my hair color and DK’s. But what made her m
She’s here, they’re here. They came for me.‘Redeem your powers and your wolf,’ Anya orders, ‘We are going into war.’I smiled through the pain as I chanted the words that my mother told me to say when I was ready. Pain, spread through my body as Hades took his rightful spot. ‘It’s about time,’ Hades growled. We watched as Isabel’s eyes filled with fury as she watched my body heal like the torture that she gave me this past few days never happened. A guard came rushing and said, “We are surrounded.”Isabel’s eyes widened as she finally realized what she was up against. “Seize them!” she ordered to her guards. “Keep them alive.” Additional guards arrived and to our surprise, they all shifted into their wolf forms barring their teeth at us. “Don’t ever think I can’t fight them or Persephone will never allow you in bed with us,” Anya threatened, making DK and me laugh. “Oh we wouldn’t dare,” I replied. Suddenly our wolves order us not to shift telling us to fight in human form.
I failed. I was brought to the Black Moon pack to hide as I let my new best friend die right before my eyes and let one of my Fated Mate be captured by the enemy. I failed. And I have no one else to blame but me.DK had tried several times to check on me. To talk to me. But I wouldn’t let him. I was angry with him for letting Mikey go and I was afraid that if he came closer I would lose him too. Why? Why did we have to suffer like this?And yet despite all my questions, no one seems to provide an answer. *****It was the second day, and I cried myself to sleep. I found out that Ruby was buried as me. This isn’t fair. This isn’t right. But there is nothing I can do because she is already dead.I used to enjoy sleeping because it let me escape my harsh reality. But I hate sleeping now because I dreamed of Mikey in a cold dark cell suffering as his body was broken several times over and over again. DK broke the door of our cabin, but I still won’t talk to him. He carried me to th
After finding out who the spy was everything went clear. I know what needs to be done. How can I not know when I dreamt of it almost every night? My nightmare was finally becoming reality, but all I could think of was Anya’s safety. “What are you waiting for?” DK asked in a panic. But I knew that nothing would happen to Anya as long as Ruby was there. “I need you to listen to me,” I finally said. “Anya will be killed,” I said. “What?!” DK was about to launch a punch but my mother stopped it. “Let me rephrase that,” I said as I took a deep breath, “Everyone will think that Anya will be killed because it will be someone with Anya’s face.”“Oh god,” DK said as he fell back on his chair as he finally realized what I was saying. “And I will be captured,” I continued.“What?” It was my Dad who reacted this time. “Because I will let them,” I replied, “Asher will be tortured in our hands but we will not kill him. And just right in time, Isabel would arrive and kill Anya. The moment th
I closed my eyes and envisioned the person I was going to imitate. This is the last chance that we have and I need to make everything as perfect as I remember it. I tuned out all the sounds and negative thoughts that I had and prayed that this chance that I had won’t go to waste. And then I feel it, the soft hum of the spell working their magic. I watch as the shape of my hand changes as well as my clothes. Once the change was complete, I pulled out the small mirror that I hid in my pocket and looked at myself to see if I had become the person that everybody feared. I know that by now, Mikey, DK, and the rest of my family understood what I meant that I would root the spy out. Because I finally learned the best way to do it. As I was waiting for Ruby to come, a thought came to me as I recalled my grandmother’s words. “The spy you are all looking for is right under your noses.”“There is only one spy.” I guess I have known it for a long time, I just don’t have enough proof to admit
“I still think this is a bad idea,” Uncle Drake said for the third time. “Can’t you just trust your daughter?” Aunt Athena complains. Even though DK and I agreed with Anya because we wanted to support her. We can’t deny the fact that we are still scared that something bad might happen to her just like the last time. This is why the tournament was held in a different Arena that Anya personally requested.As the three of us agreed to disagree, we finally found a way to compromise which included my Mom and Uncle Jericho’s presence. The wards inside the arena were created to not have any rogue wolves in unless it was tampered with from the inside. But that does not include me, DK, my Mom, and Uncle Jericho. Aunt Dana added our blood the same security she used in Purpura that would allow us to enter the Arena when needed through teleportation. We watch through the screen as Anya and Ruby prepare to enter the arena and see Rose approaching them. And as much as Anya hated it, she was wa
The day of the tournament is finally here. The place where the tournament was going to be held was announced an hour before the tournament began.It was on the plain just outside the forest of Purpura. I know the test that awaited us, but instead of surviving the tournament, I now have a different purpose. And that is to find the spy. “Luna,” Rose said as she approached us. I nodded at her. “I know that you’re not here to win the tournament,” she said, her voice so low that only I could hear what she had to say. “I want to help.” Rose was there when Isabel attacked us. My father said to be on alert because she may be the spy. I told him that Rose would never do such a thing and that I trusted her. But my father then pointed out that the purpose of the spy was to gain our trust so that they could attack when we least expected it. He pointed out the same thing with Asher, which of course hurt Mikey. He had watched that kid grow with his guidance, which made the thought of him being
After practicing for more than a day and a half, I finally got the spell right. I know that I shouldn’t let anybody know about the spell but I needed to practice it. So before I did the spell I made sure that Ruby made a promise bond with me. So that she won’t in any possible way tell anything to DK.“It worked!” I screamed happily as we stood in front of each other in the training room of the packhouse. “Do I really look like that, Luna?” Ruby asks as she stares at me with this belief.I pulled her in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror by the corner and smiled. “We look like twins,” I replied happily. Ruby sighs, “Still, I don’t think I look like that.”“Stop it,” I ordered, “You're spoiling the fun,” I added pouting. Just then someone moving the doorknob caught our attention. “It’s locked,” I hear DK complained.“Are you sure?” Mikey asked. “Anya!” DK shouted. “I’m here!” I shouted but then my voice sounded different, “Don’t open the door.” “What’s going on Little Wolf?” M
After the announcement about the tournament, Anya headed back to the packhouse to do the thing that she needed to do but couldn’t tell us. Since Anya said that she will just stay at the packhouse for it. We decided that Ruby was a better alternative in the meantime since DK needed to return to Silver Mountain to assist my mother, Aunt Dana, and Aunt Athena in finding a suitable place for a safe place for his people. But he promises to be back before nighttime to keep an eye on Anya while I stay in Purpura for the night. “You’re avoiding your mother,” My Dad Nori says as he falls a step beside me. As we walk towards the entrance of Purpura.“No,” I replied but it didn’t sound as convincing as I want to be. “What’s on your mind?” My Dad asks as we enter the threshold of Purpura. “I guess I just don’t know her,” I answered.“You don’t know Seth before but you got along just fine right now,” My Dad countered. I looked at my father and saw the same onyx-colored eyes that I possess and
