Scar : the rejected Luna 18. Found family
It had been seven days since I was brought to Paul's house after the incident, and I had been staying there and recovering from my injuries. But all these days had gone by in the blink of an eye, while at the same time, it had been a very long and significant time period for me. Because during this period, Paul and I had come so close in the manner of knowing each other. He shared how being an Alpha was not only challenging work as expected, but the work required hundred and ten percent responsibility…how it required one to be away from everyone, apart from some extremely trusted people in their life; despite wanting to hang out like a normal adult, the person in a position of authority was also bogged down with responsibility, and couldn't actually go out for the sake of their own social life. During the days that passed us by, we discussed things like these, along with the different adventures we had embarked on in our entirely different lives- whether willingly or otherwise, whi

It had been another seven days since I returned home, and I had almost made a full recovery by now. There were still a few sore spots, sure, but I could walk around and do stuff myself, for the most part. However, there was one very important job to be done, that was still pending: telling Micheal what had actually happened. I knew that although he had not asked anything directly from me, he did want to know what exactly had happened to me that I had stayed at Alpha Paul's place for a week straight. After I told him everything, from me getting injured to Paul taking care of me, he just looked at me and asked, "Do you know who those people were, and what they wanted from you?" But I really did not have the answer to this question of his, so I simply shook my head from left to right, and uttered, "I don't have any clue." "I want you to be careful from now on, and inform me earlier if anyone tries to pull anything like this again. Got it? Oh and, Paul had come looking for you, that

At school the next day, the hype about the ball was so huge that everyone was just talking about the ball and nothing else. All the adolescent werewolves who had not found their mate yet, were hoping to find their mate at the ball, so everyone was really over-excited for this gathering. And naturally, all the hopeful ones were seeking not just a second opinion about their chosen outfits from their friends, but even so much as twenty or thirty of them! Abby was also one of them, and wanted to stand out from the crowd. After all, according to public knowledge, the Alpha hadn't found his mate yet either, so she still has a chance...and how could she let go of this golden opportunity? She might have been distracted in planning the dress, accessories and hairstyles for the ball, because she bumped into me in the school corridor yet again. At first, she was obviously annoyed and looked up to see which lowly creature had interrupted her sweet daydreaming, but she became totally stunned af

Finally, the schedule at school came to an end and everyone rushed to their homes quickly, with promises of meeting their friends as soon as they were ready. The evening of the ball had arrived, and shortly after, so did Paul. He had come to my house to pick me up and take me to the venue; he was waiting for me outside of my house, as I started to walk out slowly while trying to manage myself. I was wearing the turquoise ball gown that I had bought from the mall with Paul the previous afternoon. Kate had helped me tie my hair into a high bun, intentionally leaving out some strands of my hair on the right side of my cheek, balancing out the other side that was decorated by the scar. As I had stared into the mirror at myself, Paul's comforting words had echoed in my ears, assuring me that I had made the right decision. "Sometimes… the things we think are making us the ugliest person in the world, are actually the things that mark us as the most beautiful person instead. So in your c

I was just as shocked as everyone else, or maybe even more than them. Not even in the wildest throes of my imagination, had I ever expected that he would announce me as his mate at the ball, like this.The state of my shock and disbelief was such that I was not able to react in any manner; I was just standing at my place completely frozen, without even moving at all while the scattered applause in the hall turned into a full chaos, replete with clapping, cheering and jeering, shouts, hoots and whistles.This was when he invited me for the opening dance, saying, "Lexie! My mate , may I ask your hand to open the dance for the evening?"I was not in a state to refuse, I was not in a state to accept, I was just suspended in my utter shock; and because of that, I just managed to bob my head up and down to resemble a nod. Paul came forward and firmly took my hand in his, and took me to the dance floor with all eyes focused on us like laser beams; but it was only his hand that I could bear

The day after the ball, I finally moved into Paul's house after a teary eyed but happy goodbye from my found family.He had arranged a separate room for me like I had demanded, as he assured me that he also did not want to make me uncomfortable in the slightest. I was happy to see that he had meant what he had said, about him being willing to give me as much time as I wanted; but because of my safety reasons he just couldn't let me live there.Since I moved to his house, he was always very kind to me, and always took care of my needs besides paying attention to my likes and dislikes. Among all these lovely aspects, the funniest part was that he was trying to stay as close as he could to me while making sure that he didn't cross any boundaries like last time, and also that he didn't seem too eager for my attention. But sometimes, the circumstances became such that his possessive or desperate side came out in a cute way, and I couldn't help but laugh.The first day I moved into his hou

Lost in the panic of being extremely close to him as well as in his eyes, I was barely managing to breathe with difficulty... when he caught my attention with new instructions."Now Lexie, listen to me very carefully. Grab my collar and twist it towards my left side, while lifting your legs to my stomach and hitting me lightly there, but as strong as you can ever hit someone when anyone apart from me comes this near to you-""But Paul, what if I mistakenly hit you more strongly then-""Shh! Don't think too much, just practice! Nothing will happen to me."He interrupted me and showed me the demo, while repeating the steps as slowly and gently as he could. He then folded his arms across his chest and started waiting for me to repeat all of them.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes before grabbing his collar! but when it came to raising my leg to his stomach, I mistakenly tangled my foot on his left shin, causing him to lose his balance. As a result, both of us fell to the ground; bu

After I went back to the palace with Paul, I saw my parents standing in the living room…along with Nate. At first I became so excited at the sight of them that I almost could not believe my eyes; but within seconds, guilt started building inside my stomach. And as the castle of the guilt was completed, all of the excitement almost entirely transformed into guilt, and I stayed at my place without moving my feet any further. Although I could see the same excitement mirrored in the eyes of my parents, there was some anger there too; after all, I was at fault and had left the pack and house both, without saying anything to anyone. Finally, I put aside my hesitation and fears and tried to lift my feet and move towards my parents, when I saw my parents themselves had started walking towards me. My mother wordlessly pulled me into a warm hug after reaching near me, followed by my father, and I sighed deeply as the familiar combination of their natural odours of lavender and vanilla ove

Scar : the rejected Luna 70. To the hospital
Paul's POV: The servant's hurried footsteps could be heard echoing inside the throne room moments before he burst in, eyes wide with panic. "Alpha! Alpha, the Luna has sent us for you. Her health… it’s worsening again! She–”That was all I was able to hear. The fear of something happening to her was enough to clench my heart tightly in its claws and hearing the full sentence about her not being well was something that I wasn't capable of doing in any circumstances.No matter how strong and brave I was, she has started to become my weakness the day I first saw her and now when she has full control of my heart completely wrapped around her fingers, then how can someone still assume that I still have left with the courage to hear about something happening to her, when she isn't even standing in front of me.But I can't blame anyone for it, because it was all my fault, when I was already feeling a little uneasy I should have listened to my heart and not left her alone.The fear was mak
Scar : the rejected Luna 69. Fear of shadows
Paul's POV:Jayson words sends a shiver down their ribs and the fear started to become more evident on their faces, blood started to rush off from their body, leaving them completely pale.The three wolves were still kneeling before me, quaking like leaves caught in a storm. Panic etched deep lines into their faces, eyes filled with tears and glistening with fear. These new words and the fear that now no matter what they are going to do, they won't be able to save themselves from the punishment that I have just given to them.And this was exactly what I wanted, as everything was going perfectly according to my plan and there was nothing that could stop me from achieving what I wanted.With satisfaction, I placed my gaze on the three of them.Their mouths fumbled over each other’s words, desperate to avoid their punishment anyhow.And one of them finally gathered the courage to plea;“Alpha! Please, Alpha! .We were wrong… we were foolish! We deserve punishment, but show us some mercy,
Scar : the rejected Luna 68. Fear of Punishment
Paul's POV:I paced back and forth in the throne room– the spacious room was silent and cold, without the presence of a single soul apart from me. The room was completely silent, that was perfectly contradicting the voices inside my headEverything was looking so calm, but I knew the chaos this calm was hiding underneath.And I know this chaos wasn't going to stop till it cracked every bone of every single person who was behind this plotting that has hurt my Lexie… and my child.In fact I would have done that moment I came to know, if Lexie hadn't stopped me. And she wasn't completely wrong too, but the anger wasn't ready to take the decisions logically, but her love has somehow managed to bound me with that.I had ordered the courtiers to stay home for this because this was not a matter for spectators and didn't want any politically correct interference in my decision or the process by which I was planning to get my hands on the culprit.I had deliberately cleared out the presence
Scar : the rejected Luna 67. Poison
Paul's POV: Lexie's body trembled violently against mine, her fingers clutching at my shirt like she was drowning. I could feel her tears soaking through the fabric, each ragged sob tearing at my soul. And with every breath of mine, my determination of giving the punishment that Abby deserved was growing more and more.But right now, consoling Lexie was my first priority, Abby can still enjoy a few moments left in her life, before I actually send her to hell, where she really belongs."It's not your fault," I murmured into her hair, my voice rough with barely restrained fury. "None of this is your fault, darling." Her nails dug into my chest as she shook her head. "But the-they all think—" "I don't care what they think," I growled, cradling her closer. The scent of her pain - salt and sorrow and fear - made my wolf snarl beneath my skin. “I swear to you Lexie… I swear, Abby will regret ever putting her hands on you.”She pulled back slightly, her red-rimmed eyes searching min
Scar : the rejected Luna 66. Captive
1 month ago, Katrine's POV:I felt my rage boil in my veins, as if Jonas’s words had set me on fire. He couldn’t just declare I was his mate and expect me to accept it, as well as the condition for captivity that came with it… and then walk away like it meant nothing apart from a usual day's work. Mate…I had never given it much thought before, but the word "mate" was sacred. For us, the single word was spoken with the most amount of happiness, hope, reverence and tons of emotions attached with it… For those who had already found their mates, it was a title they would cherish for a lifetime– a bond tied by fate. And for those who were yet to find their destined mate… it was the symbol of their future People pinned their dreams, desires, and futures on that single word, believing it would complete their existence and bring purpose to their life. And I… I was no exception, no matter how much I wanted to deny it. Even when I had used it as my shield, I hadn't imagined for a single
Scar : the rejected Luna 65. Painful Goodbye
Lexie’s POV:Paul's mouth pressed into a thin line as I agreed to the responsibility. “Maybe, I made the wrong decision…”The thought echoed in my mind, hollow and aching, as the first of the well-wishers filed into the room. Their smiles were too bright, their voices too loud… the first few congratulations came from the overly enthusiastic courtiers who saw this gathering as an opportunity to curry favor with the Alpha. Their bright smiles and gleaming eyes only deepened the ache inside me. How cruel that I was getting congratulated when my baby was already gone… taken from me before I even had the chance to know the flutter of life inside me. ‘I didn’t even get to feel you…’I felt robbed. Robbed of the joy, of the experience, of the pride of having my first child. I couldn't even mourn its loss properly…I couldn't even analyse the level of my grief properly when I had to take a new decision, new decision as the future Luna of the pack, not as a mother …and the happy faces of th
Scar : the rejected Luna 64. Dangerous Mistake!
1 month ago, Jonas’ POV:The girl was looking at me with wide eyes, trying to anticipate my reaction. She was curious and a little nervous, but not scared… her heartbeat was mostly steady, and there was no flicker of recognition in her storm-gray eyes. “Actually, I told them I was your mate because I wanted to meet you. You are the only one who can tell me about Lexie–”"Smart move.”I shrugged, my voice colder than the steel of my dagger that I was tossing in my palm. “But a dangerous one." She lifted her chin. "Why? Because I dared to lie to the great leader of this rogue camp?" I stepped closer, my shadow swallowing her frame. The scent of her… like wildflowers, filled my lungs. “Because till now, I was treating you like any other trespasser. But now…" I murmured, "you have made it personal." Her breath hitched, just slightly. Good. I reached out, fingers brushing her jaw: not quite a caress, not quite a threat. “You want to play games, little wolf?" My thumb traced t
Scar : the rejected Luna 63. Bluff
1 month ago, Katrine's POV:As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt a pin- drop silence spread out around myself. I risked a glance at the face of this guy Jonas, hoping to find the tiniest bit of shock etched on his smug features. His sharp features were as unreadable as ever, but I still wanted to notice at least a flicker of shock, as proof that I had cracked his mask too. 'Ha! He had dismissed me so easily, without heeding my words! Now I'll show him, if he believes me to be the leader's mate, then he might just tell me Lexie's whereabouts and I'll figure out a way to escape on my own-'Before I could take the time to observe his reaction, though, I heard the sharp cackle of one of the guards who was holding me back. I sensed his disgusting gaze linger upon my body, as if he was assessing whether or not I was telling the truth, and as if that was not enough to bring my blood to a boil, I heard his mocking laughter, at whose target was me! So he thinks whichever rascal runs th
Scar : the rejected Luna 62. Their Luna
Paul's POV:Lexie was still crying, her eyes were swollen because of the tears. I was trying to calm her down, but the pain was so huge that I know none of my words were able to calm her now.Still I was trying my best to give her the feeling of being protected, feeling that she wasn't alone, feeling that no matter what happened I am going to be there with her in every thick and thin.This was when I heard a knock on the door and Andy rushed towards Lexie.Lexie! Don't cry …look I have bought mummy- daddy here, don't cry…don't cry or else I will cry too! Lexie finally lifted her eyes, and spread her arms for Andy to crawl up in her arms, the boy didn't waste a single second to jump right there and clung to her like a Koala.When Dad finally spoke;We are so sorry Lexie, that we were unable to give you the protection you deserved, I should have been more cautious about the security and safety…but you should also have been a little careful -But before he could have completed his sent
