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

    “Don't give me that crap. Nothing is going to ever happen to you. You climb down from that tree and get them undone, especially this damn man!”“Talia, they have caught me and they are going to kill me. All my powers are gone. Seems like I am the only one that they are after, they don't know that we have a child.Do everything you can to make sure that Aurora is safe. That man who got you out of the basement is obsessed with you and has a crazy idea at the back of his mind that you are his mate, Alitalia, use that to your advantage.”“I don't want to! No! You can't make me! We either survive or die together here!” She refuted, her brows furrowing angrily as she glared at Dante whilst digging her finger into the arms of the man who brought her out.“She is so angry at him for locking her up. How can you do that to a woman, you psychopath?” The man yelled.“I would never rest for eternity if you die along with me. You can still continue remembering me in your memories, who knows Aurora

    Alita was carried back home by Jerry and the pack jubilated as if there was a feat– as if it was the happiest day to have ever happened.There was nothing amazing about today, her mate was just murdered by this damn hybrid who was prancing around with his head high in the cloud, a prideful smile on his lips as he chattered about being her mate.“We have no way to thank you for saving our daughter from that monster that abducted her and put her under a spell,” she heard the high pitched voice of her mother outside.“No, no.” Jerry said. “No need to thank me. I am glad that I am able to fulfill my duty as a werewolf to the pack,”‘Don't believe him, Jerry is a hybrid, he is.’ She thought frantically. Alita could picture the smug smile on his lips.“And my duty as a mate. I am lucky that I went there against all the odds. Or else, I wouldn't have known that she's mine.”She quickly used the pillow to block out their noise, she didn't want to listen to more gloating from Jerry.What she h

    “We had sex again and I don't know how it happened,” Aurora said, clutching the blanket around her trembling frame, it was her only thing keeping her from being naked as she felt. The words tasted bitter, like a heavy lid on her tongue, but she forced them out.Lightning flashed outside, illuminating her in the dim room. Her hair clung to her damp face, a wild mess, and her feet, bare against the cold floor, felt numb.“Wait... what?!” Easton’s voice cut through the silence, his wide eyes flicking to the thin nightgown peeking from beneath the blanket. His expression darkened.“That’s—”“Phoebe’s,” Aurora finished flatly. Her lips twisted into a bitter smile. “Of course it is.”Easton clenched his fists. “That bastard—”“Don’t.” Aurora cut him off, shaking her head. Her gaze dropped to the floor as she tried to blink back her tears. “I don’t need you defending me. Not from him. Not now.”Her voice cracked, but she swallowed the lump in her throat and kept speaking. “He threw it at me.

    Aurora flinched at the shrill voice behind her.“Move out of my way, bitch!” Tessie barked, her black eyes blazing with disdain. Her sneer curled into something colder as she added, “And keep your cursed bad luck out of my path.”Aurora turned slowly, her calm gaze meeting Tessie’s glare. Before she could respond, another voice chimed in.“Mom’s going to kill you for letting her stand so close, Tess,” Jennie sneered. “The pack’s still celebrating that a half-witch like her didn't end up being the Luna, thanks to Alpha's quick choice of our perfect sister.”“Shut it, Jennie!” Tessie snapped and turned back to Aurora. “Well? Are you deaf now? Get out of the way!”The tension around them thickened as curious eyes from the field began to drift their way. Aurora felt their glares, their whispers, the same hostility she’d endured her entire life.It was nothing new.Her voice was unnervingly calm as she replied. “There’s no need to yell. Being a werewolf doesn’t mean you have to act like an

    Remind me why we are still not out of this place," Easton said."Luna might be needed anytime. I have to be present," Aurora stated nonchalantly. Easton glared at her and immediately knew she wasn’t as okay as she pretended to be. Even after the spectacle on the field, she had taken a moment to herself but still insisted they return to the halls because of her duties.Duties for a position Maverick had just given to Phoebe in front of nearly everyone in the pack."That asshole," Easton muttered as they stood at the far end of the hall. There was no one around, and the dim light shrouded them in shadows. Hidden from plain view, they leaned against each other."He’s been like this ever since the mate awakening ceremony," Easton said, glaring at Maverick, who stood on stage giving a speech. A smile rested on Maverick’s lips as if he hadn’t just shattered someone’s world with his words and actions. "The petty bastard even used you not showing up as an excuse to reject you."Aurora’s mind d

    Aurora staggered for a bit before she managed to stand on her feet perfectly. Everyone present was shocked that she could even stand.“I’ve endured too much in this pack to stay another second. Hypocritical leaders, selfish members, and you—my mate—who failed me most. Keep your lies, your cruelty, and your title. I’m done.” Her eyes are cold and unfeeling. “All of you can dive headfirst into hell. I’m leaving this shithole of yours, and you can keep it for the rest of your life!” she spat angrily, despite the immense pain she felt. Turning on her heel, she began to walk away. Easton immediately followed her.Maverick also left the scene, his expression pained as he watched Aurora walk away. He seemed to have difficulty breathing; his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were trembling. But no one noticed him leave.The pack councils and members attempted to follow her, but Alec shook his head at them, and they reluctantly stood down, watching as Aurora left the field—out of Moonlight Pac

    How many people did it take for an unwarranted headache to sizzle up in one’s head and prick at one’s nerves?That had been the question the women Aurora was out in the woods with had asked each other just moments before. They’d all had different answers, and the numbers varied widely, but one thing united them despite their differences:For Aurora, there was no number. No matter how many people it took, no matter how irritating or intimidating they were, no one could shake the rock that was Aurora. She had agreed with a smile on her lips.How wrong they had been.Aurora had never thought she would see him again. They might cross paths someday, but it wasn’t supposed to be now. And even if they did meet, she wasn’t supposed to feel anything.But as she looked at his face, she froze. A lump rose in her throat, a barricade of conflicting emotions she hadn’t felt in the last five years crashing over her—emotions she had thought locked away. They bubbled to the surface as his hypnotizing b

    Maverick gave a subtle mental nod when Layla pointed out that Aurora had been using a scent-masking spell since entering the room. It finally made sense. That was why he couldn’t smell her when she walked in or even now. But when Aurora muttered something under her breath, her scent broke through the spell, overwhelming his senses.The scent hit him all at once—too much, too fast. She smelled like the ocean breeze, the kind that brushed against your skin while standing by the sea with a seashell in hand. It was a scent he had always liked.For a werewolf like him, who spent most of his time in the woods, forests, and small towns, her scent was a welcome change. It calmed him. But as it teased his heightened senses, it awakened something deeper. His wolf stirred, thrilled by the possibility of finding another mate. Yet that joy dimmed almost instantly, replaced by anguish.His wolf recognized her. This was the same soul that had once hurt them, the same one they had broken the bond with

    “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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    “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
