Edith's POV"Miss Omega, please step out with Talic," I ordered seriously when the healer walked in with the required items for the ritual.He looked at me seriously and then shook his head."I'm not going to repeat myself, Talic," I warned and then approached the healer."Excuse me," the elderly Omega said in a respectful tone and then walked out."Healer, hand over the white powder first," I instructed calmly with a smile.She put the huge basket she was carrying on the ground, opened it, and took out the white powder which was in a black bow and handed it over to me.I grabbed the bowl and took a few steps back."I'll start the ritual, so please leave," I whispered as I began to draw a circle on the ground by dropping the powder on the floor carefully."What are you doing?" Talic asked."Making a circle," I answered, then smiled wider when it came out perfectly.I sighed and then began making a pentagram, making sure there were no mistakes made."Healer, I asked you to step out wit
Edith's POVShe was quietly looking at me without a word.She looked miserable, and I felt uncomfortable talking to her.I cleared my throat and tried to talk to her again."I'm so sorry if I have offended you by calling you Luna. It's just that there is something that I want to talk to you about," I said softly.She averted her eyes and chose to keep her silence."Aren't you wondering why you are in such a place? An empty room without any furniture for you to sit on?" I asked seriously.When she couldn't look at me, I continued to speak."That's because this is not the reality you and I should be in. What I'm trying to say to you is that you and I aren't in the land of the living," I said, then got startled when she laughed loudly.She looked at me angrily as her eyes began to switch to a dark shade of red. My heart raced, and my throat felt dry.She was an Alpha wolf and an angry one at that. Her aura gave it all away as well.She was unfazed, unafraid, and dominant."So this is the
Edith's POVI woke up feeling sore everywhere and thirsty.I blinked a few times before calming down and looking to my left side.Talic was sleeping on a comfy chair, leaning his head against the edge of the bed. The room I was in was the very room he had given me, and that made me feel relieved. The spell had worked perfectly; I was so sure about it because I was still alive.I slowly sat upright and looked at him with a smile.It must have been horrifying for him to watch me take red Otis and lose my life right after that. But how did he know that the spell was complete? Did he cry a lot for me? Just that thought made me want to comfort him.I moved my hand and brushed his hair softly as the beautiful tingles spread throughout my body.No, I had to distance myself to make it easier for the rejection. Although my heart was getting in my way, my mind was still telling me otherwise. I needed to escape before he could talk me into staying.He shifted a bit and groaned softly. When he bl
Maila's POVI slowly walked to the open balcony, ignoring the pain I felt throughout my body, and stood there looking at the sky. My throat was painfully dry, and my body was sweaty.So, I was back to the hellhole Lillian and I hated? It really was funny.When I looked at my pale hands, I sighed softly. On my wrist, there was a diamond bracelet that I had never seen."Witch, hand me a mirror," I said huskily while I moved my hands to my ears to touch the earrings there."I have a name, Lillian. I'm called Edith," she answered."I am not Lillian," I whispered.She was still calling me by that name when she already knew I wasn't her. Lillian was quiet and trying to accept our harsh fate. She couldn't believe how we were drowned just like that because we were weak, but what troubled me was how I felt now.I felt power and strength I had never felt before back then when we were still alive.I tensed when I heard light footsteps approaching me and the disgusting scent that made me nauseous
Maila's POV"Get out!" Was what I said to the Beta after I had asked him to send a capable she-wolf that would take care of everything.I walked into the bathroom and took off my clothes, stepping into the shower with a heavy sigh.I wasn't shocked over the Beta's obedience because it wasn't Harvey present. But I was very surprised when he and Edith teamed up to carry Jace."He's still an asshole, Harvey or not," I whispered as the cold water poured on my body, making me look down on myself with a low sigh.What was so undesirable about us? I gritted my teeth and then moved my hands to my hips sadly. Even after dying, I was still fat; the only difference was that the chubby stomach was no longer there.I slowly slid my hands to my full breast then touched my lips lightly."No kiss, no touch, and unloved," I whispered as tears filled my eyes."Lonely," I mumbled while I dropped my hands with tears running down my cheeks.Because of his harsh words, we couldn't even touch ourselves in
Las POV"Talk," the Luna commanded.I had a bitter taste in my mouth and a splitting headache. My body was slightly trembling, and I felt like I was choking.Never had there been a day I had felt like this, even when I was facing Alpha Ridge in his angry state. What the hell was she? Her aura was unbearable."I am not feeling well," I forced out the words."Mm, very well, you can excuse yourself," she said with a creepy smirk on her face.I could tell how much she was enjoying it. Was this payback for how my human had treated her in the past?I stood up with wobbly legs and gave a low bow before exiting the room.I was slowly beginning to feel better the further I got away from the room.When Talic told me how she was stronger than anyone he had encountered in our pack, I took it as bluffing and chose to approach her to see for myself. But after today, I wanted nothing to do with her, not even to cross her path. Whatever she was, it was bad, Alpha or not."Delta," Leah called out in f
Jace's POVI was speechless, angry, and I felt powerless after hearing everything. There was nothing I could say, and Ridge, too, was silent.I could remember everything before her death, but after that, it was all a blur."Alpha, we are ready to accept any punishment you choose to give us because it was our fault that our humans were out of control," Talic said as I brushed my hand through my hair.They weren't the only ones at fault; we all were, and by how they described Lillian, she was nothing like the mate I knew. What was I to do? Kneel down and beg for mercy or take my own life? Why was I even saved? A bastard like me had no right to live.I stood up and swallowed hard, feeling my muscles tense in pain."I am going to see her, right now," I said as they both looked at me with fear in their faces."Alpha, you can't," Las screamed out."I have to kno....""Jace, you can't!" Talic yelled, startling me.I looked at him and then moved closer, patting his shoulder.Harvey was my chi
Maila's POVI looked at the bastard who was unconscious on the ground in tears, then took a deep breath.This was what we both wanted, yet why was she now stopping me?"He doesn't deserve us!" I yelled angrily."I know, but don't kill him!" Lillian screamed back."Are you kidding me! Weren't you mute hours ago and refused to talk to me or respond to anyone? Why now! Do you have strong feelings for this trash!" I yelled."No," came her sad response.Who did she think I was? I was a part of her; that's why I knew how she felt about him. She was angry as I was, yet a part of us still wanted him."Then don't get in my way to do what I want, Lillian. He has never liked us in any way, and he never will. Him going down on his knees is a show because he has now realized what we are capable of doing. We are now of higher rank," I said furiously.When a minute went by without her response, I walked to the door and opened it roughly, looking at the two fools who immediately bowed low.They were
Glen's POV I marched into my mother's living room furiously and moved in front of her.As usual, she was relaxing and drinking her cup of coffee calmly.Despite her age, she still looked very good. Her blond curly hair was nicely done, and she had on the finest pearls around her neck. Her diamond ring, which she wore on her finger, was bigger than the last time I had seen it, and she was wearing the most expensive brand known."We need to talk," I said seriously.She glanced at her butler, who stood close to the balcony looking at us, and then back at me."I asked you to always welcome my pup whenever he visits, but that doesn't mean I allowed you to let him in whenever I'm having my calm tea time," she said seriously."I apologize, Luna. I did pick up his scent, but I didn't think of stopping him because it has been long since you last saw him," he answered and then lowered his gaze to the floor.Now everything made sense! Back then, I wondered how she was still called Luna when she
Lillian's POV "Las and Light took the news rather hard yesterday, and Glen, that loser, was a damn pain. He couldn't even let Dominic take over or stay for a few minutes. What a pathetic, lonely fool," Jace said in a displeased tone."You know, maybe he acted like that because he doesn't want anyone to see that he is hurting. After all, he lost his mate to his twin brother, whom he met for the very first time. I'm sure he is shocked and feeling sad knowing he had a family besides you and that he was kept in the dark," I answered."Well, screw him. Dominic is the only one I consider family now. I mean, I too am still shocked that I have more family," he said and then sighed heavily."What's wrong?" I asked in concern."I worry about Paul, and I felt a little sad when he chose to stay back," he answered seriously."I felt bad too," I said softly.He was lying down on the bed, resting his head on my lap while I attended to him."But I'm really happy for him," he said.I paused, cleaning
Jace's POV "Paul, are you going with us or not? Sky's Beta has gone to look for Sophie. If he finds her, we are all going to leave. So, are you coming with us or not?" I asked through our mind-link.He was my friend, whom I cherished a lot. If he chose to stay for his mate, then there was nothing I could do."I'm really sorry, Jace," came his response.I looked at Lillian sadly, then at Harvey. They could both hear him through our mind-link. "I honestly want to go with you guys, but I can't leave my mate behind. She isn't well at all; a healer discovered that she has a heart problem, and right now she needs all the support she can get," he answered."Our pack has healers too; you can come with her. Edith can also help a lot," Harvey said."I know, but that doesn't mean her very close friend Harley will be there," he answered."Then why not convince her to come back or even drag her if she...!""Harvey," I called softly and then shook my head, stopping him before he could finish his
Ruff's POVI had my gaze lowered to the floor when Sky walked past me.Although he had asked me to leave, I couldn't go far. I stood in the passage, listening to his conversation carefully. He was very upset and sad, and he obviously felt betrayed. Although he wanted to talk to no one, he was still my Alpha and friend, and as his Beta, I needed to be by his side or close by, and he knew that. That's why he said loudly that no one was to come close to him, knowing that I was nearby, listening.I went back into the living room and looked at Harley, who had a very sad expression on her face."Luna, I really am so sorry about everything. He really didn't mean what he said. It's just that right now he is confused and may be feeling sad and upset over the intruders. The way I know him, he will come around soon; all you have to do is give him a few hours. Do rest in your room; I'll have the two Omegas who attended to you stand outside your room just in case you need something," I said seriou
Sky's POV"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked with concern as I grabbed his shoulders.He looked at me seriously, and for the first time, I saw fear in his eyes."He can't be alive; it's impossible," he whispered as I frowned."Dad, I don't understand," I said, and then I looked at Riff when he walked in and moved to my side, standing next to Harley, who was looking at my father with a shocked expression on her face."What happened here? Where were you, Riff?" I asked loudly."I'm sorry, Alpha. After escorting the guests to the living room, I went to talk to the elderly omegas as you had asked me," he answered, annoying me."I asked you to do that days ago!" I exclaimed."I know, but at that time, the one who had the needed information was very sick and could barely talk. Today, when I was mind-linked about her wanting to talk, I went, and that's where I am coming from," he answered.I sighed heavily and then looked at my father."Dad, you need rest," I said softly."I do not need rest, and
Harley's POV "Talk, Glen," I said seriously once I stood in front of him, and that seemed to shock him because he widened his eyes."Harley," he called softly."I said, 'Talk, Glen.' I really don't want to stand here all day," I said honestly."Glen? You really think I'm him?" he asked with a raised brow.Was he messing around at such a moment? He really was the worst."It seems you have nothing serious to say," I answered, and I was about to turn when he grabbed my hand.I instantly pulled my hand away. Although the tingles felt nice, I found his touch repulsive."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to grab your hand without permission. I just didn't want you to leave me here. Um... I don't know if you remember, but we met at the office. That time I was about to fall and lose my balance, but you helped me into my office," he said as I glared at him."Yes, I also remember you asking me not to touch you. I remember you cursing me out in front of my colleagues and saying harsh, painful words to m
Jace's POV I was very upset over the fact that I had been standing outside for half an hour now, and no one seemed to want to invite us in or offer us a damn seat!"Dominic, I suggest you go in there and drag your mate away from your evil look-alike twin or whatever he is, because we can't stay here any longer," I said seriously."I wish I could, but I know that won't be possible, and I'm not going anywhere without her," he answered seriously."Damn it, then I will be the one to do it," I said, then walked to the pack house's entrance."Jace," Lillian called in concern."Don't worry, I will be just fine," I answered.The Alpha of this pack was very strong, but his anger was definitely directed more towards Dominic than towards us."I'm sorry, I can't let you in," the pack's Beta, who had left with the injured warriors a while ago, said as he approached me."Do you realize that my Gamma is in your pack house?" I asked seriously."I do, that's why I apologize, Alpha. Unfortunately, I s
Harley's POVOh, so she had no idea he was her mate? Clearly, she didn’t even know there were different types of supernatural beings. That’s why she was crying and screaming in fear, overwhelmed by what was happening.I, too, was shocked. For a moment, I thought I was hearing things when I first heard Molly's voice. But then she called out again, and I couldn’t stay put as Sky had asked me to. That’s why I rushed out, desperate to see if it was really her.When I reached the pack house, I was frozen by the sight of the fight in front of me. Yes, I’d heard growls and snarls, but I never expected this. I didn’t know how to react. That’s when Jade took over, and suddenly, everyone backed down, the fight stopping. Sky's wolf approached us, towering over me. Fear gripped me, but Jade stood her ground, unfazed. It must have worked because he dashed into the pack house, leaving us behind.I was even more stunned when Glen shifted into his human form, surrounded by a few guests from the party
Molly's POVI was kneeling on the ground with tears running down my cheeks. I was so scared, and I felt very confused over the fight that was happening around me. There was blood everywhere, and the lady in front of me, who was doing her best to hold the barrier around us, looked so tired.Why did they bring me to such a dangerous place in the first place? Was Harley even here?Wait, Harley!I got to my feet, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath to calm myself down. Once I felt better, I opened them."Harley! Where are you? Harley, I am so scared right now!" I screamed at the top of my voice as the lady looked at me in surprise.I knew it was useless for her to hear my voice because the growls and snarls around me were very loud. But it was still worth a try."Harley, please! It's me, Molly!" I screamed, then sighed in relief when I saw her come out of the huge mansion, running.She looked around with a shocked expression on her face, then raised her hands."Stop!" she screamed in a
