Scarred Luna Deathshade Pack
The Deathshade Pack, was the most feared pack in the entire werewolf kingdom. Every single person feared the pack. Even Lucas. I heard stories about it as a kid, my father and stepmother used to tell lots of stories about how ruthless the pack was. There was also that one time that something happened in the Albertos and one of the guards mentioned something about The Deathshade Pack and the look on Lucas' face was clear as day. He was terrified of them. And now, I sat here, comfortably, about to get fed. I gulped in fear. What if it had poison in it? No, that did not make any sense. They can't save me just to kill me again. Maybe I was about to be a slave. Or maybe she was feeding me to be good meat for their rabid animals. My body trembled and I swallowed again. "Dea- Deathshade Pack?" I asked, hoping my ears heard wrong. My fear was audible so I wasn't surprised when she raised a brow. Then, a look of realization crossed her features. "Don't tell me you're scared" she said and

Kieran’s POV A smile tugged at my lips as I made my way down the stairs, taking them two at a time. I ran my fingers along the smooth surface of the banisters that curled downwards to the floor below. As I continued my descent, a small hum slid past my lips. I couldn't exactly tell why I was particularly happy, but that had been my life ever since I arrived at the Deathshade pack. Contrary to how I felt upon my arrival, I'd settled in quite well and just like Sabrina had said, it wasn't such a bad place to live after all. My eyes roamed the hallways as I got to the foot of the stairs. Bright lights hung up on each side cast a warm glow against the tiled floors, adding a glimt to the wallpaper. I had lost count of the number of times I'd gone through this hallway because it connected a major part of the rooms in the mansion, but no matter how many times I'd walked through here, I still found myself in total awe of the entire place. I was currently headed to the garden. Right no

Kieran’s POV.Shit. There was no way this could be happening. Of all the million things that could happen to me, why did the moon goddess have to choose this? I was aware that fate was inevitable and sometimes we really just had to leave our happy endings in the hands of nature and believe that everything would turn around for the better, but as I stared at the man in front of me, I wasn't too sure about that saying. I gulped loudly. No matter how many times the words seemed to ring in my head, it did nothing to change anything. This was real. Alpha Xander was my fucking mate. No,no,no. Right now, I would accept anything else asides this. Anything at all. If I had to face the revelation that Alpha Xander was my mate or to eat hot coal, then, I would gladly pick the latter. Why would the moon goddess think I needed another mate? I had barely gotten over what the first one did to me, so there was no way I was looking forward to another one. A small tremor spread through my body as

Xander’s POV. A cool breeze blew by rustling the trees in the distance. Up ahead, the moon cast its warm glow above the earth, illuminating everything under its wake. Stars twinkled in the background, like tiny specs against a pitch black canvas. The sight was beautiful and I could get lost out here if I stayed here long enough, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't distract myself from the matter at hand. I'd found my mate.If I hadn't experienced it earlier today, I would have said it was a silly prank from someone, probably Sabrina. Or perhaps, I'd been worn out by my long travels and I was beginning to hallucinate and see things. All my life, I'd yearned for my mate. I spent a good portion of my life praying and pleading to the moon goddess to grant me my fair share of happiness, but she never did. I even went as far as offering rituals and traveling far and wide for the one destined for me. At least, if she couldn't come to me, I would make things easier for her
Last Updated : 2024-04-11Scarred Luna Close Call
Kieran’s POV A shudder raked through my body, causing goosebumps to follow suit. No matter how hard I tried to keep my body and it's reactions in check, it just didn't work. In fact, it felt like the more I tried, the more worse it became.I pressed my eyes shut, not knowing what else to do. Even that didn't help one bit. Instead, I felt my heartbeat pick up its pace, the vital organ threatening to tear its way through my skin. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Perhaps if that happened,I would finally get a hold of my senses again and know the right thing to do. Maybe. Right now, it all felt like wishful thinking. My mind fought against it, but my body gave in to it willingly. I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end immediately. I gasped and my breath hitched in my throat as he pressed his lips close to my ear lobes. Who, you might ask?Alpha Xander.I willed my mind to not focus on what was happening right now,no matter how impossible it seemed to be. I press

Kieran’s POV I took the stairs one at a time as my feet slowly went in front of the other. Usually, it was standard practice for me to always race down the stairs, but for some strange reason today, I just wasn't feeling it. I ran my fingers along the banisters as my thoughts went into a million directions all at once. No matter how hard I ttied to focus, I just couldn't do it. Why? Because a particular thought kept on haunting my consciousness.Xander.If I was being honest, up until this moment, everything still felt like a dream. A beautiful dream I wasn't sure I wanted to wake up from. I subconsciously brought my fingers to my lips and a shudder rushed through my veins immediately. That was how Xander had touched me last night.Shit.I shook my head immediately, willing the thoughts to go away, but they didn't. Instead, it lingered at the back of my hand. With his tall and broad physique, one would think Alpha Xander was as rough as anything, but the man who gazed into my sou

Kieran’s POVI sat on my bed in my room, as I allowed the comfort from the duvet seep into my skin. It was comfy and all, but still wasn't enough to take my mind off what was bothering me. In fact, the more I tried to get rid of it, the more those thoughts kept crawling back into my mind.One would think after three days, I would have forgotten about it or at least tried to get over it. But that was the biggest lie of the century. If anything, my obsession with it had gotten worse and if I didn't find a solution to it soon, I would be on the verge of running mad.A huge sigh slipped past my lips as I scanned the room I was in. It looked exactly the way it looked before, but there was something missing. Sabrina hadn't been here in three days. Three good days. The memories of our last interaction replayed in my head. If I was being honest, that was actually the first time I was seeing a different side to the woman. How could someone who was always so cheerful switch up in the twinkle o
Last Updated : 2024-04-14Scarred Luna A Due Apology
Kieran’s POV Growing up, I always thought I was cursed. I mean, what else could explain all the torture I'd been going through since the beginning of time? I'd realized it and accepted it to be the truth. That way, it made my view of everything I was passing through less painful. All I did was tell myself that none of the things happening to me were my fault and I would be okay again.Lies.Honestly, I stopped thinking about it, and the moment Sabrina welcomed me with open arms, I genuinely thought that would be the end of it all. The end of my suffering, and an avenue to try to forget the kind of life I lived before. But I guess fate was a really tricky player and somehow I always found myself on the wrong side of life. If that ant hadn't run over my foot the other day, nobody would have known I was eavesdropping on their conversation and I would be able to go with my activities like every other day, without the constant thought of why Sabrina decided to switch up on me.I could s

Scarred Luna Show Them Fire
“Mother, for the umpteenth time, she is my mate! Isn't that what you've always wanted?” I asked her as I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. “It's impossible that the moon goddess would send such riffraff your way after waiting for so long. She's a witch!” She argued and my jaw ticked in response. “I am not having this conversation with you any longer. She is my mate and you will respect that, mother.” I said. I was beginning to lose control and my wolf was tearing at the surface. She took a stubborn step forward. “And I am your mother, you will respect that. I know when something is not right for you. Sabrina is so perfect and she even proposed to you! Accept it.” she said. A growl slipped from me and she took a solid step backwards. “Kieran is my mate, not a witch or anything of the sort. She is my mate and the future Luna of this pack. I don't want to hear any other thing” I said as I glanced at the door. Her lips parted in shock. “Are you sending me out?” She as
Scarred Luna The Confession
How dare she? I had never felt this level of anger towards her before, I never even thought I would see the day.It took the grace of the moon goddess herself to stop me from having her head. We were close. Yes. But even she knew the gravity of what she did. Interrupting my announcement? I almost lost my shit but I somehow managed to control it. And then she goes ahead to what? Propose to me? I could feel the tension coming off Kieran in waves. I knew how everything must have made her feel and the thought of her even feeling any negative thing pissed me off even more. No matter what, I was going to make sure the pack gave her the respect she deserved. We stayed a little longer before I decided it was time for us to leave. I leaned closer to her and told her we should leave. The relief that flood her face made something shift in my chest. The fact that she felt so uncomfortable where she was supposed to be the most comfortable. It was her goddess given duty to be the Luna of the pa
Scarred Luna The Announcement
Kieran's POVMy entire body shook with rage. I rarely ever lost my temper, I could safely say that I have never felt this type of anger. The closest thing I have ever felt to this was the way I felt when Lucas killed everyone I ever loved. But still, that anger was different, it stemmed from pain. This one stemmed from irritation and envy. I hated the feeling so much. But still, somewhere deep down, there was that constant fear. Fear that he would actually accept her and leave me cold and alone. Just like magic, that thought alone sent chills down my spine and I fought the urge to shiver. When Sabrina boldly interrupted Xander at the risk of her neck, I did not know what to expect. I knew it would be something crazy but I definitely did not see this level of crazy coming.I looked around and my heart ached as I watched everyone happily clapping, with sounds of support. I was never going to win with these people. They wanted her, not me. And even if I had a chance, she quite literall
Scarred Luna The Proposal
Sabrina's POV I've been called a lot of things growing up. Nice, kind, beautiful, caring, rude, even sly. I have never tried to dispute or prove them wrong, because at one point, it was only obvious that I would prove someone's fears and conclusions right, but that wasn't even what I was trying to say. The point was the fact that, no matter how much they tried, no one could exactly say I was a coward. I was never against putting up a fight when the need be and when push came to shove, I always came out victorious. It was a given for me. I don't lose. Even if I felt a little defeated, all I needed was the tiniest push, and I would be back on track again. Just like the push Alice had given me.We didn't really see eye to eye, I avoided her as much as I could, but tonight, she has definitely helped the flames of our friendship burn brighter. I blinked out of my thoughts, just to take a good look at my surroundings. The crowd was silent now, and I felt each and every one of their eye
Scarred Luna The Ball
Kieran's POV Breathe Kieran, breathe. I tried to calm myself and loosen my airway. But it wasn't working. I couldn't breathe. No matter how hard I tried, I struggled. My palms felt clammy and I felt hot all over. Were my clothes too tight? Was it just me or was it hot in here? I suddenly felt like the fabric of my dress had become three times heavier. If that were true, then it would make sense why I was suddenly feeling so heavy and on the verge of passing out. Breathe. I chanted the word in my head over and over again, but one look at the crowd was all it took to take away the little relief I had managed to get a hold of. A million and one eyes stared at me, each one of them judging, their mouths whispering. It was easy to tell what they were thinking though, they all wanted to know who I was. Who was this “Luna”? I wasn't royalty myself, but I had served under them long enough to know how they functioned. At functions like this, the only reason why they were so eager to fi
Scarred Luna Blinding Rage
Sabrina's POVThe sound of my heels clicking against the floors was faint, but it didn't exactly matter. The steady hum of loud music that was coming from the live band was all the sound I needed to hear. Not only was it melodious, it signaled the fact that what I had been looking up to for quite the longest time, was going to be coming into fruition today, and I couldn't wait. I was so excited, it made me wonder how I hadn't burst into my mini victory dance yet. As I walked, I caught a fleeting glance of myself on a glass surface and I couldn't help the huge smile that made its way to my lips. I was clad in a silver dress that hugged my torso firmly, before flowing down from my waist and settling on the tip of my toes. My heels elevated me a bit, giving the dress a kind of floating effect. The dress' edges were hemmed with a white flowery lace that matched the flower pastels scattered around my dress. To top it all off, the dress had a flattering neckline that left nothing to the i
Scarred Luna Alpha and Luna
Kieran’s POV I wriggled in my seat as the brush swept around my cheeks. The up down movement of the brush sent tickles spreading throughout my face, but I fought the urge to laugh out loud. If I did, I was sure I was going to ruin all of the artists' entire three hours of work, and if that happened, there was no way she was going to be pleased with it. Of course, she wouldn't dare voice it out, because she was there under the command of Xander, her King. But still, there was no way I would feel good after ruining it all, even if it was a little smudge. That and the fact that if I shifted too much, she was going to have to start all over again and I definitely didn't have the patience to sit here for three more hours. I wrung my fingers together, trying desperately to ignore the knots tying and unfurling in the pit of my stomach. No matter what I did or how many breathing exercises I did, it did nothing to help. Instead, the more I tried, the more my anxiety levels went up the roof.
Scarred Luna A Warning
Xander's POV She had to be joking. I was currently in front of my mother's study in the palace and she quite literally just closed the door in my face and told me to wait until she was done with the person inside. In her free time, she liked to tend to the personal problems of the people. As demeaning or rude she seemed, she was a big problem solver. But right now, I didn't care about any of that. I clenched my jaw in frustration. If it were just any other person, I would have their head. But it was my mother. I breathed to steady myself. Relax, Xander. A few maids passed, busy with the preparations. They stopped to greet me, snapping me out of my calming session, before they went about their day. It made me wonder the kind of thoughts that must have run through their minds. They would think their King was mad, especially since I was muttering to myself. Shit. I let out an exasperated breath, before pinching the bridge of my nose. I glanced at the door in front of me. It was a hug
Scarred Luna Question Answered
Kieran's POV“Is that what you thought we were? Why would you ever think that?!” she asked and I was so lost. All those months… that wasn't friendship?“But-”“We're not friends, Kieran.” She cut me off yet again. “Never were, and never will be. You were helpless and I stepped in. I gave you food, shelter and everything you ever needed, and what did I get? You try to steal Xander from me?” She said and I was taken aback. “I didn't steal him. He was never yours!” I exclaimed and she raised her hand to slap me but I swatted it sway. She looked surprised. “If you hated me in the first place, why did you take me in?” I asked and she huffed. Her face was so red by now, I thought she was going to burst. “Because I didn't think you would overstay your welcome. Do you not have any shame?!” she said and I felt so offended. “You told me I could stay. Every single time I wanted to leave, you wanted me to stay” I said, confusion clouding my features. I thought mere words couldn't hurt me an
