Logan’s POVViolet was unharmed, but the two of us would probably not survive if we didn’t do anything.Right in front of us was a river that separated us from the next land. What’s more, there’s no way to walk around it. The only way was to cross the river… but it’s not any ordinary river.Its width was probably a kilometer, and the fluid flowing in it was not water but magma!Despite standing a few feet away from it, Violet and I were already murderously sweating from the heat it was exuding.“Is that what I think it is?” she asked, and I could only nod in silence.Scoffing, she asked, “What, do the elders want us to cross it and burn ourselves to death?”She looked at me in exasperation. “We’ll be cooked halfway in there even if we’re stupid enough to cross it by foot!”“Or by some miracle, we could fly, which is far from possible!” By now, she’s just rumbling from nervousness.Fly… That’s right! We would surely die if we touched the magma. And since we couldn’t walk around it, we
Logan’s POVViolet sent me a mocking smirk before she entered the combat arena, rejoicing as she heard Finely proudly announce her as a winner for the second stage of the game.Unfazed by her cheating schemes, I swayed with the veins and jumped. But as soon as I landed on my feet at the ground, I uncontrollably fell on my knee, feeling weak.Gritting my teeth, I whispered, “Wolfsbane…”My chest rose and fell heavily, feeling the burning sensation cursing through my veins. I coughed in shock as I felt the poison hitting my heart.Clanching my chest, I looked up and saw her victoriously standing in the middle of the arena.Taking deep breaths, I momentarily closed my eyes, calling my inner wolf to fasten our adopting skills.Though Morana’s body wasn’t built as strong and adaptable as an Alpha, she was a warrior and a gamma before she became a Luna. Her body was strong enough to withhold the wolfsbane in her veins.But that didn’t change the fact that I’d feel weaker and… Shit!Realizat
Morana’s POVThere came a time when we’d vow never to do something in our lives, but fate would likely throw us a bone and turn us crazy until we broke that promise ourselves.Boredom filled me while I sat in the front row, waiting for Logan and Violet to reach the third stage, where I could watch them through the feed. Indeed, as much as I hate this game, participating was a whole lot more exciting than sitting here.Did he see her true color yet? What’s happening there now?Questions filled my mind as I anxiously tapped my fingers on the armrest. Meanwhile, while the game continued, the cheers of my warriors didn’t go down despite knowing that the participants inside couldn’t hear them.In fact, they got louder.What made me smile, though, was when they jumped when they heard Logan won the first round. I furrowed my brows at that announcement, though.How in the world did he win that stage?Logan was strategically smart and physically powerful, but he could not have won the stage of
Morana’s POVAs if a bucket of freezing water was dumped on me, I froze in the doorway, staring blankly at the body in front of me that was clenching in pain.My heart throbbed in an unexplainable way as I watched my own body curled in a ball, eyes closed, and writhing.I wasn’t the one feeling that pain… that heat. It’s him. Logan’s the one feeling all the kickback of the mate’s betrayal, just like how I wished it to me.But there’s a string in my heart that’s pulling me in the other direction. Was it conscience? Love? Sympathy? I didn’t know.And before I could make amends to myself what it was I was feeling, my feet started moving on their own accord. Crouching down, I slowly placed my hand on Logan’s shoulder, letting his callous hands touch my smooth and fair-skinned shoulder.But as soon as I touched him, I was jolted back by a current that brought tingles all over my body.My eyes widened. “What was that?”“Morana?” Logan finally opened his eyelids and looked up at me.Delight
Chapter 1 Morana’s POV “You are invited to George and Milly’s union.” I read the invitation once again. A rushed wedding from our Gamma, instantly marrying his mate after finding her in one of the nearby packs three days ago.To which I was unfortunately invited.Ugh, great. Alone on a special table designated especially for Alpha and Luna, the bride's chatter filled the entire reception.I sighed and sipped on the wine in my hand before raising the glass up to my face. The girl in the glass’ reflection stared back at me, its auburn eyes glowering. My auburn eyes.It didn’t take long before my gaze was pulled away as the wine glass fell down from my grip, down the shining marble floors before it shattered loudly into pieces as someone pushed me to the side, leaving me staggering for balance.‘What a way to induce some bad luck on this wedding, Morana, ’ I thought.“Oh Goddess, Luna! I am so sorry. Please forgive such a grave mistake!” I look down at the Omega on my feet, now begging
Chapter 2Morana’s POVShivering with fury and betrayal, I held my swelling cheeks. Everyone looked at Logan and his now so-called mate on the floor as he tended to her in front of the entire pack.I sucked in a breath before turning towards everyone. Their eyes were all over them. A lump formed in my throat, which I tried to swallow down, together with the tears that were threatening to fall.Fuck! What the hell was happening? He’s my mate! And how dare he slap and humiliate me in front of the entire pack?My breath was getting ragged as I turned towards the pack warriors. “What are you guys doing? Get Logan away from her!” I growled.Everyone hesitantly looked at me before turning their eyes back to Logan, and that woman, and yet no one dared to move.They were too afraid to mess with their Alpha’s current state. I scoffed. Of course, they’re afraid. Logan looked like he’s ready to rip everyone’s head off if they got close enough.“Can’t you see? He’s bewitched! T-this woman did some
Chapter 3Morana’s POVI raised my gaze towards Logan, his eyes brimming solemnly. He was deep in his thoughts. That’s the look in his eyes I could never overlook.“What do we do?” Vincent asked. His gaze shifted between the two of us.Logan stood up from the bed and turned towards his Beta.“Who is she, exactly?” he muttered unknowingly.“She’s Violet Harrison, daughter of the Hallow Hunter’s pack,” Vincent simply replied, and that single sentence said it all.Their pack name speaks for themselves, like where I came from. They were known hunters. Unlike us warriors who were driven by principles, discipline, and rules, they were driven by goals.Once they set eyes on their prey, they’d do anything to kill or achieve it.I sneered. So, not only was she from a powerful pack, but she was also the Alpha’s daughter.Way to make me feel even more unfit for Logan.Vincent interrupted as I was about to shake my head to burn that thought.“We’re going to fight, right?” Looking at me with those
Chapter 4Morana’s POVI waited and waited, but nothing followed.Not just that it did not arrive, but the burn I was feeling earlier all ceased. I sat up on the bed before breathing in and out.The only pain left was the cramped-up muscles I was having due to all the weird movements I was in to cope with the burning sensation.I sighed and downed some water before slipping into my nightrobe. I rushed down the stairs, and a few pack members who were already awake turned to me.“Good morning, Lu—” I wasn’t calm enough to greet any of the Omegas today, so I walked past them and out the double doors.The warm air hitting my face instantly soothed my nerves. I sipped the peace into my entire body before that silent moment broke down when Vincent came running towards me.“Wait, Luna Morana! I know what you felt, and it’s not like that. Please, hear me out! I need your help!”I halted and turned to him. He knew? He fucking knew?“Why don’t you give it a try, Vincent? Tell me how they did not

Logan’s POVUltimate silence surrounded the air between us while my handprint was marked on her arm. She squirmed for freedom, but I only let her go after sending a death glare at her.“That’s uncalled for,” she remarked before she massaged her arm and took a few steps back from me.I scoffed and nodded toward the sign. “If you’re so smart, do it yourself.” With that, I went to the seats in the middle of the room and made myself comfortable.She threw me a look as she stomped her way toward me, the bruise already healed. “This is a competition.”Raising my brow, I nonchalantly replied, “I never said it wasn’t.”After a moment’s time, she finally let it go and angrily went her way. She stopped a few feet away from the sign.Arrogantly, she lectured me by pointing out the numbers. “See that? Those are call numbers! It's used in the library, attached to each spine. There’s either a clue or answer in books corresponding to that!”She smugly smirked as she went to get the first book, 065.
Logan’s POVJealousy crept into me like a curse when she tried to protect those warriors. I know it sounded shit, but I couldn’t help but feel that way.It’s still vivid in my mind how close she was with them, and it still irritates the heck out of me whenever I remember how their loyalty to her was much greater than their loyalty to me when I was the pack’s alpha.They’d cheer for her and would even look passed me like I didn’t exist during the Luna’s game.She’s the one who trained them tirelessly all day and night, and I’m aware of how close she was to them, but it still infuriated me, especially when I saw how close and at ease she was with them while she ignored me before.I closed my eyes and cursed, “This is all Vioelt’s fault.”With that in thought, I couldn’t stop myself from throwing a glare at Violet, who was beside me and only a few feet away.I scoffed. It’s funny how the undying extensive feeling I had for her before was all gone now. It’s as if it never existed, and all
Morana’s POV“Tell me,” he insisted while still sitting on my bed.I solemnly looked into his eyes as if seeing the past scenes in the orbs of his eyes.Bitterly smiling, I shook my head and replied coldly, “It’s not just a nightmare. It’s a memory.”His eyebrows furrowed; he shifted and tried to get closer to me, but I immediately raised my palm up. “Stay right there,” I said.And so, he did.“What memory is it about? Tell me. Maybe I can help,” he persisted, testing my patience.Momentarily closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before looking at him again. Pointing at the couch, I gritted my teeth and said, “Get back where you belong and get off my back!”Pain crossed his eyes before he slowly stood up. Looking right into my eyes, he said with longing, “But where you are is where I belong.”For a moment, I was moved, and my heart felt swayed.But then, I scoffed. “Stop the nonsense already, and get back to sleep. And if I were you, instead of wasting your time messing around, you mi
Morana’s POV“Yeah, how so?” I crossed my arms and scrutinizingly looked at him.“What I did before–” he started, but I cut him off.I exaggeratedly clapped my hand and looked at him with wide eyes. “You’re right, and it’s different because you knocked her off.”Gritting my teeth, I made it clear. “Don’t put us on the same page, Logan. We’re not the same.”Leaning in, I added, “Unlike you, I am fighting hard against this bullshit mate pull.”As I turned to grab the towel from the rack, I heard him say, “Oh, yeah? Then why haven’t you rejected her yet?”“Aww! What the hell, Morana?”“Stop yelping like a girl!” I annoyingly remarked while blindfolding him with a towel.He laughed. “Well, did you think for a second that it’s maybe because I’m in your body, which, by the way, is a woman’s body if you forget?”“Stop talking, you annoying!” I remarked before pushing him toward the tub. Holding both his hands, I raised them and made him hold them against the wall.“Oh, kinky! What did you do
Morana’s POVSometimes, life tests us, but it's up to us how long and how strong we’ll hold to our principles and willpower so that we do not take the other path.That’s why when my lips landed on Violet’s voluptuous and soft lips, despite the incredible tingling and desire rushing up in every inch of my bones, I still managed to push her away.My eyes were wide open, as shocked as Violet at what I had just done. But of course, while I was mortified, Violet was feeling the opposite. She’s looking ecstatic, rather.“Logan, I know you feel it, too.” She’s smiling so wide while looking at me like she just won the lottery. Goddess, I hate her, and I couldn’t wait for me to get back in my own body.“Don’t ever, ever, get near me again!” I threatened while pointing a finger at her before I turned around. This time, I walked as fast as I could away from her.Lost the feeling of roaming around, I decided to just get back at the pack house.“I can’t believe I kiss her! That’s disgusting and aw
