THE AWAKENING

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-21 21:08:36

Lucian's POV

I woke to the soft voice of the healer.

"Drink this, Alpha. It will help with the pain."

The scent of strong herbs filled my nostrils, mingling with the lingering metallic tang of blood. My body felt heavy, my limbs aching from the wounds I had suffered. A deep groan rumbled in my chest as I shifted slightly, my ribs protesting with sharp pain.

The healer, an elderly woman with wise eyes, pressed a warm cup into my hands. "Drink," she urged gently.

I took the cup, my fingers curling around it. The bitter liquid stung my tongue, but I swallowed it down anyway. Anything to dull the pain coursing through my body.

"You should rest, Alpha. Your body needs time to heal."

I was about to nod when memories slammed into me like a thunderclap.

The argument.

Selena.

Helena.

They had both been in the room with me. They had started quarreling. I had stepped between them, frustration boiling in my veins. And then…

Nothing.

A sharp pulse of worry shot through me. My grip tightened arou

    LUCIAN The door creaked open, and every head in the room turned swiftly to face it, the weight of the moment pulling down on all of us like an invisible force. The tension in the air was thick and persistent, like an unsaid danger no one dared to mention. My heart hammered violently against my ribs, causing my chest to tighten as I watched one of the warriors walked inside. His countenance was not pleasant, and his clothes were soaked and clinging to his body from the rain that was falling outside. He bowed slightly before speaking, his breathing unsteady and heavy from exhaustion. "Alpha," he spoke reluctantly. "We followed her trail as far as we could, but... she went deep into the forest." My frustration boiled over, and I let out a low, threatening growl. My fingers curled into fists at my sides, and my nails dug into my palms as I struggled to control my rage. "And you lost her?" I inquired, my voice frigid, each syllable containing the full weight of my rage. The war

    Selena"Get up."The sharp voice jolted me out of my restless sleep. My body ached from the cold, hard floor of the servants' quarters, but I didn't dare hesitate. I sprung up, wiping my matted hair away from my face, as Lilith stood in the doorway, arms crossed and eyes filled with hatred."You have 10 minutes to be outside. Father has a task for you," she snarled, flinging a dress to the ground at my feet. "Wear it. And don't embarrass the pack."She did not wait for a response. She turned and strode away, her long black hair swaying behind her. I gulped hard and picked up the dress. It was fine silk and way too expensive for someone like me. That alone triggered alarm bells in my thoughts. Alpha Adrian never gave me anything nice. Something wasn't right.I hurriedly dressed, my hands quivering as I adjusted the unfamiliar fabric against my flesh. I'd never worn anything as nice as this before. By the time I made it outside, the entire Shadowfang Pack had gathered. The alphas of n

    Selena "You belong to me now." Lucian's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion. The words echoed in my mind as I stood in the center of the Bloodfang Pack's courtyard, my hands locked into fists at my sides. The pack members surrounded me, their eyes wide with interest, amusement, and, in some cases, sympathy. I was just an object here. A substitute. A weakling brought in to repay a debt. Everyone knew it. Lucian strode in front of me, his piercing blue gaze never leaving mine. "From now on, you will do what I say, when I say it. There’d be no questions, No hesitation." I swallowed hard and nodded. I didn't trust my ability to speak. His lips twisted. "Pathetic." A murmur spread through the crowd. I could feel the weight of their glances and silent giggles as they watched the show. The powerful Alpha Lucian is putting his new 'property' in her place. "Take her to the servants' quarters," he told one of the guards. "She will work alongside the rest of them. No spec

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    A FADING HOPE

    Selena "This is my life now." The understanding struck me harder than any slap, insult, or nasty laughter. I was nothing here. Just an outsider, a servant, a weakling in a pack that relied on strength. Every day was a battle—and I was losing. The Bloodfang wolves did not simply ignore me; they reveled in my misery. They tripped me when I walked past, murmured insults loud enough for me to hear, and always served my meals last and coldest. They viewed me as an embarrassment to their pack, a blemish on their reputation. Lucian did nothing to stop them. If anything, he encouraged it. --- "Faster, omega." I gritted my teeth while cleaning the floor of the great hall, my hands rough and throbbing. The warriors' laughter filled the room as they marched by, walking over the soapy water I had poured. Darius, a broad-shouldered wolf, kicked over my bucket and spilled dirty water all over my clothes. "Oops," he sneered. "Clumsy little thing, aren't you?" The others chuck

    Selena "I have to leave." The thought raged in my mind like a wildfire. I stood in my cramped quarters, clutching my stomach, sensing the faintest flutter of life within me. My child. Lucian's child. However, nothing changed. I couldn't stay in the Bloodfang Pack. Not after all. I took a long breath, bracing myself. I would not allow this pregnancy to keep me here. I had to go. Now. --- Late that night, I crept through the packhouse, my pulse pounding against my chest. Every creak in the hardwood floors made me freeze, waiting for approaching footsteps. The guards patrolled outside, but I'd spent enough time in this pack to recognize their tendencies. I approached the back entryway, placing my hand on the hardwood. This was it. My way out. "Where do you think you're going?" I spun around, my heart racing. Darius. One of Lucian's most dedicated fighters. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a sneer forming on his lips. I swallowed hard. "I—" "Running

    Lucian "She will never be my Luna." I told myself this often, but the bond lingered in the back of my mind like an itch I couldn't scratch. I refused to admit it. I'd made my choice. Selena was a substitute—given to me instead of another. I promised to correct my errors. Helena was my true match. Strong. Respected. A woman fit to be by my side. Unlike Selena, who was merely a weak omega from a disgraced pack. A cursed girl, abandoned even by her own blood. I sighed, leaned back in my chair and rubbed my temples. The pack was awaiting my announcement shortly. Helena had already moved into Alpha's quaters. She was everything Selena was not: harsh, ambitious, and prideful. The type of Luna Bloodfang deserved. Despite that... A loud tap at my door interrupted my thoughts. "Enter." The door flung open, and Darius limped inside, his face contorted in frustration. I sat upright. "What is it?" He held himself against the doorframe, breathing irregularly. "Selena… she's

    Selena "I'm not the same girl who ran away." One month. It had been a month since I escaped the Bloodfang Pack, and I had collapsed on the riverbank, barely alive. One month ago, Alpha Raiden found me, peered into my eyes, and informed me I was intended for something more. And now, standing in the midst of the Nightshade training grounds, confronting warriors who had once mocked my weakness, I realized he was correct. --- "Again." I barely avoided the attack intended for my ribs, spinning on my heel and throwing my fist into my opponent's jaw. He stumbled back, his eyes wide with amazement. Raiden watched from the sidelines, arms crossed and expression inscrutable. "She's learning faster than we expected," he mumbled. My opponent, Jarek, one of Nightshade's greatest fighters, scratched his jaw with a sneer. "Not bad, omega." I scowled. "Don't call me that." He lunged again, but this time, I was prepared. I ducked, slid beneath his arm, and slammed my knee into his st

    "Lock her up!" The healer's voice cut through the chaos like a sharp blade. I had no time to react before my arms were grabbed and pulled backward. The room circled as voices echoed around me—gasps, accusations, and murmurs of betrayal. "She tried to kill the Alpha!""Selena betrayed us!""She needs to pay for what she's done!"I struggled against the warriors who held me, my chest rising and falling in anxious breaths. "I didn't do anything!" I screamed my voice rough. "You're making a mistake!"But nobody listened. Helena's smirk revealed everything I needed to know: she had won. She had turned everyone against me, and now no one would believe the truth. Lucian's motionless figure on the bed caused a deep sensation in my chest. He was barely breathing, and I couldn't help him. If I didn't escape now, I'd never have another chance. I breathed sharply and twisted my body, throwing my weight against one of the men who were holding me back. He tripped, relaxing his grip just enough

The tension in the room was suffocating, thick like a storm waiting to break.“You,” she spat, her gaze locking onto mine with pure hatred. “You just couldn’t stay gone, could you?”I stiffened, but I didn’t flinch. I refused to show weakness. “I came back for my mate.”“Your mate?” she scoffed, her voice dripping with venom, filled with disbelief. “Lucian was never yours. You were a mistake—an accident. And now you think you can waltz in here and take him back?”Lucian groaned beside me, shifting slightly in bed, his face pale but his eyes struggling to focus on the scene unfolding before him. “Helena, stop,” he said, his voice hoarse and weak.She turned sharply to him, her lips curling into a sneer. “You’re defending her? After everything she’s done?”Lucian forced himself upright, wincing in pain as his body protested. “She hasn’t done anything to you.”Helena let out a

    "You need to go to Lucian, Selena. To save his life… and to avoid the wrath of the Moon Goddess."Raiden’s voice echoed in my head, but I didn’t want to hear it. I refused to hear it.With anger tightening my chest, I turned and walked away, leaving him standing there. I didn’t need anyone telling me what I already knew but wasn’t ready to accept.I made my way to the entrance of the warriors’ quarters and sat on a rock, staring out into the night. The moon hung above, glowing softly, as if watching me. Judging me.Could I really do this? Could I go back to Lucian after everything he had done?I thought about Raiden’s words. It is your fate, and you must bear it. Fate. That cruel force that had dictated my life from the moment I was born. I had spent years dreaming about finding my mate, someone who would cherish me, love me, protect me. And yet, the one destined for me had rejected me, mocked me, and allowed his pack to treat me like I was nothing.But then, I remembered something el

    LUCIAN'S POV"She’s gone."The words rang repeatedly in my mind as the pain shot through my entire body. The injuries from the combat burned like fire, but nothing was more painful than the emptiness that embraced me. I made a mistake—one I might never be able to fix.The scent of blood mixed with herbs filled the air as the pack’s doctor wrapped my torso in fresh bandages. I gritted my teeth, refusing to show any weakness. An Alpha doesn’t show pain. But this wasn’t just about the wounds Adrian and his men had inflicted on me. It was about the ache deep inside me, the one growing worse by the second.I let her go.I let Selena slip through my fingers, and now my wolf was punishing me for it."You’re lucky to be alive, Alpha," the healer muttered, tightening the bandage around my ribs. "Another inch and that blade would’ve pierced your lung.""Lucky?" I scoffed. "I don’t feel lucky." The door creaked open, and I immediately tensed, recognizing the scent before I even saw her.Helena.

    "You need to wake up, Selena. We don’t have much time."My eyes fluttered open, the scent of strong herbs filling my nose. My head pounded as I tried to move, a sharp pain shooting through my leg. Groaning, I shifted slightly, blinking against the dim candlelight."Easy," a voice said.I turned my head and saw him—Alpha Raiden. He was sitting on the edge of my bed, arms crossed, watching me closely. His dark eyes held something I hadn’t seen before. Urgency."Where...where am I?" My throat was dry, my voice barely a whisper."Safe, for now," he answered, his tone firm. "But not for long."I forced myself to sit up, wincing as my body protested. "What happened?" My memories were hazy, like a fog clouding my mind. Then it hit me. The battle. Adrian. The blade cutting into my leg. The darkness swallowing me whole."Adrian—" My voice shook. "Where is he?"Raiden sighed, rubbing his temples. "Gone. For now. But not forever."I swallowed hard. "He’s coming back, isn’t he?"Raiden nodded. "W

    "He’s here."I could barely breathe as I saw him. Lucian. Standing in the middle of the battlefield, blood smeared across his jaw, his sharp blue eyes locked onto mine. His chest rose and fell, his fists clenched, his whole body tense like he was ready to tear the world apart."Selena!" Raiden’s voice snapped me out of my trance. "Move!"But I couldn’t. My feet felt rooted to the ground. I shouldn’t have been surprised to see Lucian. Deep down, I knew he would come. But seeing him now—his rage, his desperation—it made something deep inside me tremble."You!" A thunderous roar shattered the air. My stomach twisted as I turned and saw him. Alpha Adrian. His red-stained claws gleamed under the moonlight, his face contorted with pure hatred."You think you can destroy me?" Adrian’s voice was like ice. "You think you can defy me and live?""Stay away from her!" Lucian growled, stepping forward. His body was tense, his muscles coiled like he was ready to pounce. "She was never yours!"Adrian
