I was preparing for my weekly visit to Silver Mountain Pack when Uncle Drake told me to stop visiting unless he said so. I asked for the reason behind it but he never gave me one and told me to just follow what he said. I was not going to do just that, but when he told me that if I disobeyed him he would make sure that I would be banned from visiting Anya, which of course, is something I couldn’t risk.But then the week became weeks and I wanted to ask Uncle Drake about the visits but it was Aunt Athena who stopped me this time. She told me that Anya was willing and that I should just wait for her return. She also emphasizes how Purple Hill needed me more than Anya and that Anya is protected in the Silver Mountain Pack. I wanted to tell her that I was the only one who could protect Anya and wanted to let her know that Anya does not belong to the Silver Mountain Pack. But what Aunt Athena said surprised me.“If you didn’t hurt her and leave her, then we wouldn’t have this problem,”
The drive towards the place that they call The Falls was more complicated than I imagined.Because even if I had taken the blue pill that Aunt Athena had given me, Anya on the other hand was so restless that driving was torture. “I want you,” Anya said her eyes glazing with so much want that it was hard to resist especially since my wolf is so horny and excited that we finally found our mate, he is seriously making things harder for me.“Just a little bit longer baby,” I told Anya as I held her against her seat. “Don’t you want me?” Anya whimpers. “Of course I do,” I said almost shouting and almost losing my control. There was nothing I wanted more right now but to be with her. To claim her and make her mine. I have waited for this moment for so long. I waited for her to come back to me. Waited until she was back in my arms. The big rock came into view, making me press harder on the gas pedal. I have never driven that fast in my life. And the moment that we reached the Big Rock a
I woke up with the smell of pancakes and bacon. I don’t really know how I got home, things have been a bit blurry for me. I need to ask DK if something good has happened because I just can’t help but smile and feel content. I pulled the covers closer to my chin as I took in its lavender scent.“Good Morning,” I froze at the sound of the voice of the man who greeted me. “I know you’re awake,” he said, gently, “We need to talk.”I wasn’t ready to see him. Wasn’t ready to talk to him. And what the hell is he doing here?“You would know that if you talk to me,” Mikey said softly. What the hell? Is he reading my mind?“Not really reading,” Mikey said with a chuckle, “Let’s just say I can hear you.” I sat up from where I was lying and faced him. He was standing by the door, wearing faded ripped jeans, only his faded ripped jeans. My eyes trailed from his jeans going up to his face where I met his black eyes. I looked at him, the man that I have always loved, and suddenly the world stop
“Mate.” I looked at him as my heart stopped. And as if understanding the questions in my eyes he gave me a sad smile. “I’m sorry,” he said softly but his voice was laced with pain. “I have no excuses for all the pain I caused you,” he said, “But if there is still something that you need to know, I will answer your every question as truthfully as possible.”I looked at him. “I know you explained why you broke up with me, but I just wanted to know why was it so easy for you to leave me. Why was it easy for you to give up?” “It wasn’t easy,” Mikey said softly, “Although it looks like it. But the truth is it wasn’t easy. It felt like I was being torn apart. I was so embarrassed to find out where my biological parents were that I saw a part of my childhood play in front of me. The way I was mocked in the orphanage for being an orphan and the way people looked at me the moment that I was adopted. I never wanted you to experience those things. Never wanted to hear anyone telling bad thi
We stayed in The Falls for two days now. We spent the first day together mostly talking to each other and catching up. By the next day, we spent the mornings for more talking and exploring the place. It was like we were getting to know each other once again. Falling in love with each other all over again. “Are you ready to go home tomorrow?” Mikey asks as we eat our lunch.“Can we stay a bit longer?” I asked and he smiled. “I want to but,” he said as he trailed off, “I am going crazy, not being able to fuck you.” I felt my face heat up with what he just said.“You know that my parents and our uncles and aunt already think that we did that,” I said as I avoided looking at him. “I know, but still, I want to ask their blessing and I want you to meet my biological parents first before we actually do it,” he explained. “Why?” I asked.“I want to do things right this time,” he said, “I want everyone to know that you are not only my mate but also my wife.”Hearing him say those words
I have broken so many rules but this one I don’t regret. Although a very big part of me still wanted to receive our parent's blessings first and then get married. I am an old-fashioned kind of guy, but after almost losing her, and after hearing what she said I would rather break my own rules than lose her once again. I look down at the beautiful woman sleeping beside me in my arms and I can’t believe how lucky I can be. Seeing the mark that now lies on her. The mark that would tell everyone that she’s my Mate, My Luna, my equal, Mine gives me so much happiness that I felt my heart would explode. I traced the mark that I had left right on her neck and my wolf stood with pride. She’s mine, Anya is finally mine. She stirs and looks at me, a smile graces her beautiful lips as she whispers the word, “Mine.” “We need to go home,” I said as I pulled her closer. “Can’t we just stay here?” she asks with a pout. I smiled at her. I can do this every single day. And as much as I want to
really hard you know,” Aunt Nikki replied. “Well,” Uncle Leon said as he joined us as he stood beside Aunt Nikki, “At least you were able to trick our prodigal son.” He added as he raised his glass towards Mikey. “But how?” I asked. I just can’t figure out how they know it. Because I know that DK and I had been careful and I know that I really acted my part. “Don’t forget that we were born before the two of you were,” my mom replied, her answer still did not answer my question. “They did it too,” I turned to see Uncle Calvin, “They played the same games that the two of you did.” “Sometimes we need to play first before we realize what was real,” My father, ever the poet, tries to be cool once again, but just like before he fails miserably. “So what’s your plan now?” My mother asks Mikey. “Are plan is to get the hell out of here,” I said as I pulled Mikey away. “No,” My father’s voice was low and deep, a warning, and I knew that if he repeated the word he said, it would be a com
The party was wrapping up and Chloe and were having the time of our lives when a loud eruption sounded. The music died and everyone was at the front door of the Pack House. I found my parents along with my uncles and aunt Nikki as we all stare at the bright red, orange, and yellow speck of light towards the direction of the Training Academy. It took everyone especially my father three seconds before it registered to him what we just saw. Uncle Leon and a few of the elite soldiers were already shifting as they headed for the Training Academy. Mikey was about to go with him but Uncle Leon stopped him.“Stay,” he said as he looked at Mikey and then my father. Uncle Calvin and Aunt Nikki organized the rest of the shifters as they asked each one of them if they would be staying at the pack house or if they were going home. As the organization of the people started, my father and mother asked us to follow them and we did. Once we were inside his office, my mother made sure that a sh
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
