“He marked you,” Alec said simply, glancing at the mark on Aurora’s shoulder and she nodded, staring straight into the eyes of her mate’s best friend. She has decided to talk to him so that they can put their differences aside and get along in the near future. She has the brain to figure that both of them are part of Maverick’s life and would always be.He was not going to choose one of them over the other and Aurora didn't want her to do that at all, she would love it even more if Maverick continued to have someone like Alec by his side.“Yes, he did.” Aurora leaned on the rail and turned to look straight into his eyes. They were standing at the balcony that was at Moonlight Pack’s pack house, at Maverick’s place.“You don’t seem to want to argue with me today,”“And you don’t seem to want to discard my head from my body,”“You are leaving Maverick again,” It was supposed to be a question but Alec managed to make it look like it was a statement—like it was a fact.“Over my dead body,
“I have to admit that I love it more with your mark on you,” Layla said. “You look more radiant.”They had the pack’s general kitchen to themselves and were preparing a lot of cookies and cakes, because according to Layla, the true alliance between Moonlight Pack and Night Pack deserved to be celebrated.Stephanie also believed that it would be for the best if they switched the name of the pack to Moonlight Night Pack.“You aren’t actually going to stop this, are you?” Aurora groaned and Layla shook her head.“We were there when you cursed him out, we were there when you admitted your fault and praised him. It is only normal that we are there when you act all gooey.” Stephanie said, wriggling her brows in an over exaggerated manner.Aurora face palmed. “Can’t we just get past this?”“No. We can’t. Your mark is just so beautiful, I wish that I can get something like th—” Sadie started to talk but she stopped when she remembered Ferix and what he had told her some days ago.Somehow, she
Layla quickly held her before she could really hit her head on the floor.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” She asked her worriedly.“I… I…am fine, just a little bit weak.” Aurora tried to catch her breath. “I can feel a bit of essence fertilizer in her. It is the smallest amount that I have ever seen, but of course. That bit is enough to thoroughly harm a werewolf.”“Would she be alright?” Layla asked and Aurora shook her head in uncertainty.“I don’t know. I can’t tell. But for now, she is alright.” She answered and Phoebe turned to look at Phoebe worriedly. Without getting to the root of the matter, Phoebe is sure that there’s no way they can wash Aurora clean of the incident, especially after the bitch woke from death only to accuse her.Aurora glanced at Phoebe whose skin was already white and the color drained from her body, she looked no different from a dead woman. “I don’t know if I can do anything to her.”“But I can.” They heard and everyone turned to look at the person whose v
Anabella furrowed her brows for a bit, trying to remember everything that happened that day and if she had met her father at one point. Everyone stared at her intensely, waiting for her to give her words.Jerry looked assured, he believed that his daughter would definitely pick his side, so he relaxed and tried to get himself on his feet when he felt that he had healed enough from the blow—and that it would be embarrassing to be on the floor for so long.“Yes!” Anabella said, and Aurora paused from where she was examining Phoebe and raised a brow at her.She asked. “Yes, what?”“I met my father today when I was returning to the kitchen with the cake,” she clarified and Jerry stared at his daughter as if she just betrayed him, in a sense, she just did.“Did he tell you or do anything?” Layla asked.“He…” she paused and thought about it for a while. By this time, Jerry was already glaring at his daughter, as if daring her to speak but the said daughter was not looking at her father.“He
Crystabelle stood at the center of the room with a drawn gaze. Aurora wondered why on earth she looked so tired and out of it, but since she couldn’t ask, she could only resort to believing that it was the fiasco from earlier today.She only wished that it won’t get to that extent for her too, she would not like to lose all the ounce of sanity present in herself to something else.‘Don’t worry, sooner or later, I will take control of you,’ the voice in her head whispered to her.“No, you shut up. I am going to get rid of you,” Aurora said back in her mind.“So…” Stephanie trailed off and Crystabelle glared at her. It was her fault that she was here in the first place.“Are you going to do it?” Aurora asked and the glare was directed at her, she felt an odd shiver run up her spine but she stubbornly held her gaze.“It’s not like you gave me much of a choice to begin with,” she said in an equally tired voice.It was a lie, everyone was aware that no one had the ability to force Crystabe
“Do you think that Jerry has something up his sleeve? Except the Great Five Sages? ” Maverick asked, staring at Aurora whose head was on his chest.It was late at night and they were in Maverick's bedroom after dealing with a lot of issues at the pack. Aurora was exceptionally drained after moving around and using her powers to make sure that Phoebe was at least alright.It wasn't like she wanted to save the damn bitch but things would get pretty rusty if Saxton's mate died in their pack and was killed by one of the pack members.An excuse for war would be solid.The Brian's family were already throwing a fit. Tessie's body was possessed and Phoebe was poisoned, paranoid Jennie was all over the place, convinced that she was up next.“I don't know. I am still finding it hard to believe that the man who had stigmatized me for the entirety of my life because I am a hybrid also turned out to be a hybrid. One that was surely working for the witches,” Aurora replied.“How do you feel about
“What the fuck did you just said?!” Maverick thundered and both Jared and Owen cowered a bit, wondering if they would fall prey to his anger if they were in the way.It has been a while since Maverick had been this angry with any member of the pack, in fact, he hardly does. He is a calm leader that does everything with a leveled head, not allowing any emotions to shine through as she deals with things.They had only noticed that he became happier than he had been through the years he had been the Alpha of Moonlight Pack and they were thankful that he found the one, they just didn't expect that it would unlock the unleashed anger emotions too.Though they knew that his anger was truly justified right now because Jerry Wells had found a way to escape the dungeon.“He was found missing from the dungeon this morning,” Owen re-explained and almost froze because of the evil glare directed at him.“Get those who were on duty last night and this morning, and thoroughly investigate them.” he s
Twenty Seven Years ago.Left Green Woods Manor.Alitalia stared at the sky with a smile on her face, she placed her hand on her tummy and giggled. Dante had made it possible for her to be able to feel her child even though it wasn’t the time for it to have matured.She can’t wait to bring the little one into the one and raise her at the Green Woods Manor—yes, Dante confirmed that it was a girl too. Just what he had always wanted and Alitalia couldn’t be gladder. They just have to wait for a few more months and they would be good to go. She can’t wait to see the way the man’s eyes would lit up as he cradles their baby in his arms.“Talia,” she heard a soft voice behind her and she turned halfway on the swing to look into the eyes of the man that had brought her nothing but immense joy since the moment she discovered that he was her mate. A smile bloomed on her lips and her eyes twinkled.“Here,” he handed a cup of tea to her and she scented it before she took a sip, exhaling in relief
The hall was filled to the brim with grinning pack members who awaited the day’s event. It seemed to them that the satisfaction they have always wanted was making their ways to them.It was the Luna Coronation Ceremony.Aurora was finally going to be officially recognized as the Luna of the Moonlight Pack, while this made a lot of pack members happy, it also made them very busy, it wasn't like they could have their Luna-to-be preparing everything or anything.Sadie was the one that took charge of the event with Sally, both of them ordering workers around, trying to get things rounded up.Out of everyone who was going about, Sally could be said to be the happiest. After resigning to date about the death of their son, both the former Alpha and Sally had alienated themselves from the pack when they heard the demise of Maverick.According to them, seeing the pack reminded them of the wound that would never scar. It was right there and then that Aurora earned the respect of the former Alpha
“I am so sorry that she escaped, Aurora.” Mani apologized and Aurora just waved her off.“I told you that it is alright.” Aurora replied. “Besides, you were doing something else when she escaped, we would have been able to find her later but delay might have been very bad in the spell breaking. I really appreciate your help, Mani. Thank you so much.”Mani smiled back at Aurora and nodded. It was nice to see Aurora’s face having another emotion other than the blankness that she had mastered over the years, it was amazing yet shocking how a person could have an effect over another person.Aurora’s eyes have become brighter and she seemed to have found more meaning to life, she clung to Maverick who was sitting beside him and the smile had never left her eyes, it was truly a gratifying thing to watch.“We helped in that matter together,” Daphne said from where she stood. She had spent the night at their house while insisting that the rest of the witch council would be after her head afte
“Were you able to find Maverick?” Easton asked as soon as she was in front of the house, he was talking with Alec about Pack matters and since Ferix was helping him too, it seemed to be urgent.“HI Aurora,” Ferix greeted and she nodded.“We were able to find him and he knows who Phoebe is but he also didn’t want to have anything to do with me.”“Talk about some big misfortune, it is making me want to wring Phoebe’s head.” Ferix snorted.“Me too.” Easton added.“That makes three of us, but I have something to do now,” Aurora said and entered the house.“Isn’t Daphne here?” Aurora stared around the whole place and turned to Regina when she found no sight of the woman she was looking for.“I thought she followed you? Didn’t you go to look for Phoebe and Alpha together?” Regina asked and Aurora sighed. “She told me that you already picked the location or something around that line.”“I had no idea that she followed me but I doubt that she hadn’t run away,” Aurora murmured to herself befor
Maverick stared at Phoebe who had shifted back to human form in devastation and betrayal, he couldn’t even manage anger with the reeling that was going on in his head, though, there was no way to prove it everything that Aurora was saying was true about him was something that clashed and overturned everything that he had always believed in.He was supposed to be an hunter but here he discovered that he belonged to the species that he had been ordering and the woman who he had always thought was his best friend lied about everything to him and was his enemy, a woman who was very desperate and would do anything and everything to keep him by her side.“It is a lie Maverick! You are not a werewolf! Aren’t you supposed to feel your wolf if you were one since all these days? She is your ex, she betrayed you before and would do anything to separate us again,” Phoebe insisted.“Why should I lie about something like that if I have gone to someone that I liked? I wouldn’t be back here looking f
Phoebe stared at Maverick who was walking with slumped shoulder while also carrying Robb on his shoulder, she had suggested that they leave the place as soon as possible but he had refused and told her that Robb had always told him that if he ever died one day, he wanted to be buried at the back of his little place.Damn man was jeopardizing her plan even when he was dead after pushing Maverick to pursue Aurora when he was alive.“Maverick.” She called but he only continued walking ahead.“I don’t want to talk to anyone right now,” Maverick replied and she frowned in anger.It was bad enough that they had to make a stop at their place but now he was even ignoring her, it was draining the energy that would have made her excited that she drove a wedge between him and Aurora. The bitch didn’t even show up and she was sure that Mani would have told him about everything that happened.She stared ahead and a smirk appeared on her lips. Sure, the plan wasn’t working the way she was working b
Maverick searched around the forest with a bit of panic striking his nerve, there was something bad about the nerves that kept crawling up his nerve, it was like danger was just lurking around the corner. It didn’t help matters that neither Cara nor Robb were around, he hadn’t seen Robb since he said that he had to get something from the woods and he had absolutely no idea what was going on.“Maverick!” He heard Cara’s voice in the distance and immediately turned to the direction. “Maverick!”He could see her running towards him and he hurried over to her and that was when he noticed the panic that was on her face.“Cara, what is wrong?” He asked and she tried to regulate her breathing.She huffed for a bit before she started talking breathlessly. “Maverick! Robb is dead!”“What?!” He asked with widened eyes. He moved closer to her and smelled her body before his eyes almost narrowed into slits.“Fucking werewolves!” He growled. “Lead the way!”Cara nodded and the two of them broke in
Daphne hastened her step as soon as she was in a darker part of the alley, she had been having the feeling that someone had been following her as soon as she left the pub and her instinct continued to tell her not to stay and find out who the person was because it was dangerous.She ran and took another corner but she was stopped by something and before she could react, she was punched in the stomach and sent sprawling on the floor.She hated combat the most, she preferred when she wielded her magic so she tried to gather some energy from around her but she found out that she couldn’t do anything of the sort.“Escaping now, aren’t you?” She heard in front of her and saw Mani standing there with her hands folded across her chest.“What the hell do you think that you are doing?” Daphne scoffed. “Do you think that you are something simply because you crossed over to that bitch’s side? I could end her if I wanted.”“Well, you can tell her better than when we meet her,” Mani said plainly a
“What could have made you come to see me tonight?” Daphne asked with a smirk as soon as Phoebe sat down in front of her, they were at the town pub where they usually meet up, it was late at night and both of them were wearing something that covered their face in order not to be recognized.“What else other than the fact that Maverick is almost driving me crazy?” She groaned in annoyance and Daphne raised a brow at her.“Oh? He can make you angry? I thought that you were having the best time of your life?” Daphne asked and Phoebe glared at her but it couldn't be said for a fact whether she saw it because both of them were deep at the darkest corner, the flicker of dim red light reaching them once in a while.“I was, until Aurora appeared out of the blue and now they met and he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut about her for the briefest minute.”“I told you that separating two mated people isn’t going to be easy,” Daphne shrugged and Phoebe glared at her once again.“She was supposed to be
“You would believe who we saw today,” Ferix said and Aurora raised a brow at her.“Who?”“It was Phoebe and Daphne, caught red-handed with her memory because she was talking about you,” Regina replied.“She saw both of you?” Aurora asked Easton and Ferix who nodded.“Yeah. I took Regina along because why not? She wasn’t able to keep her cool when she saw all of us and it was visible in her face that she recognized all of us, she even said my name,” Easton replied. “We were just going to scout out the place of the council but we couldn’t find and decided to come home but we met yours truly on the way and she kept ranting about you being back to take her man.”“Is that bitch high on a big dose of delusions?” Sadie asked with disgust. She remembered the time she had treated and had mistakenly thought she was normal like everyone else, who knew that she was just bat shit crazy. “How is he her man when he is clearly Aurora’s mate?”“Then the big picture is getting clearer. Daphne is one of
