“Now that we have all agreed on our next move, you can all go,” Uncle Drake said, before turning to look at me, my Dad, DK, and Uncle Jericho. “Are you staying for the night or returning to Purpura,” he asked Uncle Jericho who took a glance at Uncle Calvin before answering. “If it’s okay with you for me to stay for the night, I would love to,” Uncle Jericho said. “Go ahead,” Uncle Drake said with a nod and then turned his focus on me, my Dad, and DK. Especially on DK.“I know my daughter,” he started to say, “She is just like her mother. I know that you didn’t lie to her, but keeping things from her is something she would consider a lie. Stay here and the two of you talk about how to tell her, everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything.”He took a deep breath before looking at me and then at my father. “I can’t promise that she will be accepting of the reason why you did what you did. But I want this to be fixed before we announce the tournament the day after tomorro
“The reason why, I was able to know that something had happened to you was because I am also your Fated Mate,” DK said as gently as he could as he looked straight at her.I don’t know if this was a prank or not but I am not even sure if I wanted to believe it if it turns out to be true.There was no doubt it was possible because I already saw the living proof that two Alphas can have the same Fated Mate. I just can’t believe that it’s happening to me right now. And out of all the people in the world, why does it have to be me?I look at the two men sitting silently in front of me.And I can’t help but be happy that both of them are just sitting in silence and not their u
“All right,” I said, “I’m giving you both one last chance. So make sure that none of you would lie or even dare leave something out because god forbid I’m really gonna make your lives a living hell.” ‘She’s giving us a chance,’ DK said excitedly, as he turned to look at me. ‘Let’s try not to fuck this up,’ I replied as I looked at him before we both turned to face Anya as we both said in unison, “Agreed.”Anya’s brows raised with our answer and both of us froze on our seats. ‘Stop being excited, fucker,’ DK said angrily. ‘You’re the one who’s excited, moron,’ I replied. “Are you talking or not?” Anya asked impatiently crossing her arms in front of her chest and I can’t stop admiring just how hot she looks when she’s serious and dominating.‘Seriously? That’s what you’re thinking right now?’ DK said in disbelief. ‘I never asked you to listen to my thoughts,’ I retorted.‘Oh come on,’ He said frustratedly, ‘As if I have a choice? You should have made sure that your shields are up
I have to be honest, I was surprised to see the two of them working together. I know that they still fight from time to time. But seeing them being civil besides the profanity that they shout at each other, which by the way sounded more like an endearment to me. Just makes my heart happy.I love both of them. They both have a special place in my heart. So, here I am trying my best to show them and make them realize that just like them, I changed too. And even though I was angry at them for keeping secrets from me, the thought of them working together was enough payment for their sins.“Okay,” DK said as he clears his throat, “Let’s compromise.”I could never be more proud of the Alpha that he has become. For some, he might seem like an arrogant bastard who thinks highly of himself. He is the type of man who would spend so much on luxury rather than something useful. And as much as I hate to admit it. I was definitely one of those fools. DK was so good at portraying his arrogant bas
Mikey, DK, and I spent the whole night agreeing and disagreeing about what to do and how we should handle the tournament.The sun was almost up when we finally agreed on the next steps that we would take. Both Mikey and DK left at the same time as we placed our plans in motion. Mikey went back to Purpura along with Uncle Nori. Mikey said that he wanted to try out the training arena first and make sure that everything was working fine before having the first batch of our warriors try it out.DK on the other hand, went back to his pack to talk to fetch my “Shadow”, as they both call it, and his top 10 warriors that could join the training in Purpura. Today, my father will finally make an announcement about the tournament. I am not really sure what the mechanics are because, to make it fair, just like how every tournament was held in Purple Hill, whenever a family is joining, someone else decides on the mechanics. I prepared myself as I wore the warrior uniform that my mom had created
“Move, and you’ll die”.My whole body became tense. I could feel the sharpness of the metal against my neck and with the way the perpetrator behind me was holding it, meant that she meant business. The beating of my heart sped up as my perpetrator swiftly took my phone away from my hand. ‘Don’t tell me, Isabel got so confident after the last attack that she wasn’t afraid to attack me here, out of the open, just in front of the packhouse,’ I said to Persephone.‘Stop it,’ Persephone hissed, ‘That’s not what you should be thinking right now. Focus! You need to get away from her.’ Thinking and putting what you have thought into action are two different things. And the execution of these thoughts is harder than I thought it would be. I can’t help but understand why DK and Mikey didn’t want me to join the tournament without a shadow. “You are dead right now if I was the enemy,” the female voice said as he stepped away. “She’s definitely a zero, Alpha.” My head turned so fast that it
We found Uncle Leon leaning on one of the trees that line the borders of the training academy. I pushed away from the tree that he was leaning from the moment that he saw my car. “Good morning ladies,” Uncle Leon greeted as I rolled down the window on Ruby’s side. “Good morning Uncle Leon,” I replied. “Ready?” He asked Ruby and she nodded. She opened the door and got out. “See you later,” I shouted out and Ruby nodded. I don’t know if I would be a great assassin or spy because I don’t think I would be able to keep myself from not speaking.‘Hey, Little Wolf,’ A mind-linked surprised me as I parked my car. It was not as clear as it usually sounds, which can only mean that Mikey was somewhere far from the training academy but not outside of Purple Hill. ‘How are you?’ Mikey asked and the worry in his voice was evident and I am very sure that he once again felt the fear I had from this morning. ‘I’m all good,’ I replied. ‘Don’t worry, it was just a test and a good one to make me
We all went to our respective teams and assembled in front of the stage at the far end of the training academy where Uncle Leon stood and introduced Ruby to us.I was surprised at how Ruby had changed from the quiet brooding girl that I knew earlier to a smiling woman who looked so stunning in the training gear that she was wearing.“My sister visited me last weekend and since her assignment was getting her and her mate busy, they left the care of her daughter to me. I would like you guys to meet my niece, Ruby, and I hope that you be kind to her,” he said, “Since she doesn’t know a lot of people yet, I will assign her to Anya’s team to make herself comfortable.” Uncle Leon explained, that it was a flawless transition and no one would dare question why Ruby would always be by my side.
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
