~ KILLIANAll the men were ready and well informed, it was time to strike and there was no wasting of time.Lionel understood the mission and rallied his men along with him as he went on to have his mini-meeting with them. I was supposed to be in there but how could I divide myself between Lionel, Droost, and Jared? There was no way I could do that so I chose the best choice which was to sit it out.My delight knew no bounds as I was closer than ever to reuniting with my lover, my mate, and my soon-to-be Luna. I could feel Laura’s touch in these moments, as I knew there was nothing that could hold me back any longer.The barrier between us seemed to be breaking and I couldn’t wait to pull it down completely. Jared had outlined the location on the map and I knew that place so well, like the back of my hand. That was the last place I would have thought to go find Laura in but it was fine all the same.All units were ready and well-motivated. I had made the best promises to them as I
~ KILLIANAs we reached the steps that led to the second floor, I felt a wave wash in my direction, and it threw me down the stairs.“Holy shit! What the hell was that, Jared?” I said as I hit the floor, falling on my back.Jared, who had not climbed the stairs, stood where he was and laughed at me.“I told you a strong sorceress held that fort. Are you ready to listen to me now?” He said.“Okay, Jared. So how do we get through this obstruction?” I said, standing up from the floor and beating the dust off my clothes.“This alpha, with it, we can repel that,” Jared said as he brought out a dagger from the side of his coat and another liquid in his hand. I watched the display before me. My beta seems to have become something else; whatever it took to get Laura out of there, I was down for it."Okay, do your thing,” I said to Jared as I raised my right hand, pointing for him to take the lead.Jared turned to me as he poured some of the liquid out of the small glass bottle onto the dagge
~ KILLIAN“It’s time I killed this witch,” I said as I launched my attack toward her.That was the wrong move I had made. I shouldn’t have done that because what she did next almost sent me to the other side of life.She raised her hands and lifted me as I stood mid-air and watched as she waved her hand and I flew out of the window, hitting the floor face-first.I was in a bit of pain before my wolf healed me and I transformed into my wolf form and ran before jumping high and into the first floor, which was as high as I could jump.I saw Jared running down the stairs. I ran back up to the second floor as fast as I could.Jared spoke out to me saying, “Alpha I guess she would be a hard kill I’ll create a distraction so you could swoop up behind her and end her for good.”That was a smart move by my beta, Jared. But the problem remained: how could we create a distraction? I thought about it as I remembered we had Lionel and his men outside. I ordered Lionel to fire as many Silver bulle
~ SELENA“I'll be your Luna. I love you.” Those were the last words I said to him.I could hear them yelling as I slipped out of consciousness, my eyelids closing as I mustered strength within me to say the next words, “My babies, they’re coming... I am weak…Ki..Kil…KillianBefore my eyes went blank, I could see Jared and Lionel coming close to me. The worry in their hearts got to me, as I knew I wouldn’t make it.Life has been cruel to me, and here I lay, ready to give it all up, even giving up on my unborn kids. Killian held my head as he begged me with a scared look on his face. For the first time ever, I saw the man I loved express a degree of dread I had never witnessed.Was this goodbye? Is this how people breathe their last? I had questions filling my mind but there was nothing I could do about them. I didn’t know where we were and we obviously were in a place far away from the pack and from Killian’s hospital.“She needs an operation; we need to get Laura to the hospital,” K
~SELENA“Today is Daddy and Mummy's marriage anniversary.”I stood there, looking outside the balcony. I heard my twins argue as they disputed if this day or the next was my anniversary with Killian. It has already been 9 years. Nine long years, and it felt just like yesterday.A smile formed on my lips as I walked up to Ethan and Meagan.“You both are right about the wedding anniversary, and I couldn’t be more joyful. I have you both in my life and the best father anyone could dream of,” I muttered, holding them to my arms as I bent, reaching their level.“Mummy, it’s our costume day tomorrow, and I’m playing your role in the school, Mom,” Meagan uttered before shutting Ethan off from speaking. “Mum, I’ll be Luna for a day in school. I entered the contest and won. Will I also be Luna like you when I grow up?” Meagan finished up as I watched her beautiful eyes well up in wait for an answer.I didn’t know what to say to her. But I didn’t want to give her an answer she wasn’t pleased w
~ HUNTERI growled, anger welling up as my being was consumed with dealing with this curse.Alpha Hunter, locked up like a common omega who had committed an atrocious crime, but no, I was here holding myself back from bringing hurt to my people and revealing the other side of me I had held down for way too long.It was all my fault; this should have been a thing of the past, but I had chased her away, and she seemed to have been gone with the shadows. SelenaWho was my cure? I wish I had done better. I wish I had treated her with much more kindness. But look at where I am—inside a dungeon in my pack.Soon enough, the full moon would be over, and I could continue trying to live this life as though I were all okay—even though I knew deep within me that something was wrong.The camaraderie I had with Nadia was at an all-time low; my trust had waned for her, and I didn’t want to even set my eyes on her anymore.Sometimes I felt it was best to outrightly banish her from this pack, save fo
~ SELENA“Luna, someone is here at the door,” a maid called out to me as I stood in the waiting hall, addressing some of the guests from the neighboring packs.“What does he want?” I quizzed as I finished off with the guests.“He said he’s got a package for you and only you alone.”I wondered for a moment who could send a package for me and only me. That was weird, as I had never received a parcel here in my name.It’s always been a letter, just like the one I received today, sent by Alpha King Gregory to Killian for this year’s annual Alpha Gala.“Ask him to wait, I’ll be with you shortly,” I spoke as I walked toward the entrance of the pack's mansion.I saw a middle-aged man who should be somewhere in his early or mid-thirties. He was dressed in a delivery outfit and as I was close by, he gracefully, pulled out the bag which he wore on him and placed it gently on the floor.“Scared of breaking something,” I questioned as he gave out a wide smile. “Of course, Luna. I’m just a lowly
~ SELENA“It’s him; he’s the one,” I had a voice call out from my head as I felt dizzy all of a sudden.One moment, I felt on top of the world and now I was almost on my knees. Thanks to Droost and Lionel, who noticed and held me before any wandering eyes could come in my direction.I had seen a man, and his entourage had lots of paparazzi following him.He seemed to command a lot of respect as the crowd followed behind him. But I wasn’t someone who was concerned about another person’s clout or how others saw them. I was a bird in my own nest, a monk in my monastery.“Who is he?” I thought to myself before the voice in my head rang out once again, this time louder.“It is him, Hunter,”Alpha Hunter, the man who I had loved deeply but who had turned my life into pieces.I felt a wave and a sudden burst in my head. It felt like a circuit in my brain had been reconnected and the torrent was too much for me to bear in one piece.My whole body had been jolted into a wild shock and it thre
