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
Jace's POVI sat at the edge of the bed, looking at my chest in silence.Her grip was strong, and her force was brutal, yet she couldn't kill us? Why? Did she want to first watch us suffer, or was it out of pity?Either way, it didn't matter because I was going back to her side. When she was lying dead by my side, I vowed to stay by her side no matter what.I stood up and walked to the wardrobe, pulling it open and grabbing a simple gray shirt."Alpha, what are you doing?" Las asked."Can't you see? I am dressing up," I answered while I put on the shirt and buttoned it."I can see that, but that's not why I'm asking," he said seriously.I turned and faced him coldly."I'm going to check up on my mate," I answered."No, you can't," Talic said seriously."I can and I will. I expect none of you to get in my way because I really need to be by her side," I answered."Are you fucking insane?" Talic growled as his eyes switched to Harvey's. Finally, he was letting him take over; perhaps he w
Edith's POV"Sir, I will do everything in my power to help you, so please do tell me what is wrong," I said seriously.When he called me back to the pack, I was busy celebrating with the rest of my family over Lillian's pregnancy.I wanted to tell him how busy I was, but then it clicked that my Alpha really liked Alpha Sky a lot. Helping him out would only strengthen the bond between the two packs; that's why I agreed to meet him."There was a witch who did a favor for me in the past. She used to reside in this broken castle we are seeing. I wanted her to help out again, but as you can see, it seems she has moved," he said as I looked at the castle.It was so obvious that the owner of the castle was dead. I could feel it because of the powers I had."I'm sorry, but I'm certain the owner of this castle is dead. I don't know if she died or was killed, but I can't seem to sense her soul," I said seriously as his expression turned cold."Damn it," he whispered softly."Sir, you know I can
Marshall's POVI looked furiously at the abandoned castle that stood in front of me while brushing my hand through my hair.I knew a lot of years had gone by, but a part of me hoped the witch could still be around."Shit," I whispered coldly and then pulled my cell phone from my pocket."What do we do?" I asked my wolf."Tracking down that witch would take a lot of weeks or months, if not years. Also, what if she is dead?" I asked my wolf bitterly."Then how about we look for another witch who is very good at dark magic?" he asked as I kept quiet, thinking back to whether I knew of any witch.When it clicked, I smirked proudly.News of an ancient witch related to Berta's son was everywhere in the news. Not only was she ancient, but she was also diverse in dark magic.If there was one thing I came to understand, it was that those who practiced dark magic were very selfish and greedy.They never said no when asked for something, and in exchange, they got something of value for themselve
Marshall's POV"What to do, what to fucking do?" I asked myself furiously.This time, I couldn't see a way out, and that pissed me off badly."What do we do?" I asked my wolf silently as he huffed."We have to revisit that place," he answered seriously as I sighed heavily.A lot of years had gone by; obviously, things had changed on that side. Moreover, what if we found no one there? What were we supposed to do?But then again, I was feeling very desperate."It's worth a try, I guess," I whispered and then looked at the pack house.I could tell how that damn moron was happy to see Berta from his facial expression, and it was so obvious that he was still in love with her by how possessive he was towards her.He dared to even growl at me!"Fuck him, I feel like ripping his throat out," I whispered in a low voice and then marched to the pack house.I needed to see Berta for just a few minutes to calm myself down because I felt so damn furious."Careful," my wolf warned.We both knew the
Glen's POV I stood at the door with a smile, looking at my mother talking to Harley in her bedroom.Harley looked very happy, and I could feel it just by looking at her face."What is it?" Sky asked beside me."I never thought I could ever see our mate this happy," I whispered softly."Well, brother, we made that possible," he answered and then walked to them, sitting on the bed and wrapping his arms around her waist.She quickly looked at him with a shocked expression and then back at our mother, who laughed softly."You don’t need to feel shy, Harley. Our kind tends to be possessive and occasionally handsy," my mother said, causing her to blush."Anyway, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep; I just wanted to greet you," she said as she stood up."You don't have to apologize, Mother. I feel so happy to see you here. Actually, I am the one who should apologize for not welcoming you when you arrived," Harley answered as she quickly moved from the bed and stood up.She couldn't hide the
Paul's POV Instantly, we parked the car and found the whole family waiting for us outside."Well, what a good welcome," I said when I stepped out of the car."You guys sure missed me, didn't you?" I asked as I walked to the other side to open the door for Molly.She stepped out with a smile and grabbed my hand, which I had extended to her."We did!" Edith answered loudly.I chuckled softly and then approached them.When I stood in front of Jace, he moved his hand to my shoulder with a smile, then looked at Edith, who quickly moved and hugged Molly."You are late," he said playfully, making me chuckle again."I am sorry," I answered simply.I let go of Molly's hand and hugged Lillian lightly, who stood next to him."Congratulations, Luna, on your pregnancy," I said as I pulled back."Thank you, Paul," she answered and then moved to give Molly a hug after Edith had pulled back.I looked at Harvey and then at Light, who were looking back at me coldly."I'm here now, so stop looking at m
Sophie's POV"You really are something else, aren't you?" I asked Riff seriously."Yes, I am your mate," he answered simply, making me laugh softly."I didn't mean that; I meant how stubborn you are," I pointed out.No matter what I said or how I reacted, he was right there by my side, acting like he wasn't phased. He even went as far as to lend me a hand with the office files whenever I was tired or in a bad mood.The most shocking part was when he helped me with the clients who were very hard to please. He stepped in and talked to them in a way that made them happy. I was supposed to hate him for interfering with my work, but my wolf and I were so happy, and we began to always look forward to having him by our side.He walked to my seat behind the desk and grabbed the chair, trapping me between his arms."Do you hate it?" he asked when he looked me in the eyes.I was about to shift my gaze down when he let out a low growl that made me stay still."Do you?" he asked huskily as my
Berta's POV As I walked out of the pack house, I could hear Glen and Sky's voices clearly. I stopped walking to listen to their conversation."You can honestly tell me, brother; you don't have to hide anything from me. I will protect you no matter what," Sky said."I am telling you the truth, Sky. He did nothing wrong. He actually said the words I wanted to hear," he answered as I sighed in relief and approached them."Hey, you two," I said playfully.They both turned and looked at me with angry expressions on their faces."Mother, were you crying?" Glen asked seriously."No," I quickly denied."You were crying; that's an obvious thing," Sky growled."Honestly, no, I wasn't," I said loudly.He looked at Glen, then back at me."You both are terrible at lying," he whispered, then walked past me."Son, he didn't do anything bad!" I exclaimed loudly, then turned and faced Glen."Stop him; your father did nothing wrong. He just said the words I would have liked to hear back then before I
Berta's POV "Mother, things have changed a bit, haven't they?" Sky asked as I laughed softly."No, everything is still the same," I answered with a smile, then laughed loudly when he frowned with a low sigh.Did he want me to praise him or lie?"It wouldn't hurt," Lorin whispered to me silently."To be honest, although most of the things are the same here, I must admit that there are a few impressive things that are different," I said as he smiled with an expression that was asking me to point out the impressive things."You know, like the training field. Who could have guessed there would be a big building next to it, with very clean bathrooms, toilets, and gym equipment?" I said as he smiled widely."I was the one who came up with that idea. You see, our warriors usually want to take a bath after training, and some want to train more but with gym equipment. That's why I had to come up with a plan," he answered while we walked into the pack house."I'm so happy to see how you have h
Glen's POV "I'm the worst, aren't I?" I asked Dominic seriously as I walked outside the pack house.He kept quiet, refusing to answer because he knew how I felt.When our father asked me to play along and make our mother comfortable, I felt terrible and angry with him!Why couldn't he just be genuine and love us for who we are?I was supposed to hate him completely, yet I couldn't.A huge part of me was so happy to have him talk to me without criticism or sarcasm."Dominic," I called softly.He wasn't saying a thing, but I could feel his emotions. He really wanted to be acknowledged by our father's wolf as well."Shouldn't we take this moment and use it to our advantage? He could end up liking us for real, you know," I said loudly and then turned to look back."Talk to me," I whispered silently.His silence was making me feel worse than I already felt."He will never be proud of us," he answered in a low tone.I could feel the hurt and anger from his tone in just those few words.I c
