Extra late chapter, sorry this one took longer than I thought to write. I know you guys are dying to know if Xavier will wake up and I promise soon we will go back to the present. I just needed to make sure I leave no unanswered questions.
Peter's povI watch her run away, her speed amicable. For a none werewolf, she was pretty fast. But that probably had to do with her knowing her life was in danger.People tend to have a speed they usually never knew they were capable of until they get frightened.She stumbles, falling to the ground. I reign in a snort.Clumsy girl.I watch her, suddenly intrigued when she stays down longer than necessary. My palms push on the bark of the tree as she finally gets to her feet, seeming to be contemplating before deciding on what course to take then, runs.I take a step forward, stopping when she slows down to take a look back. I hide in the shadows, not wanting her to see me.My eyes fall to where her eyes were fixed on and my eyebrows shoot up in shock. Is that what I think it is?Wolfsbane?That witch Malia was right. She was right about everything. About all the events that happened tonight. She was absolutely right.Which meant she was probably right about Essi's true intentions.My
《Aurora's pov 》 My heart throbbed painfully as I looked down at the powerful alpha. My blood, it caused this. I can only imagine what it can do to any normal wolf. I was a monster. A killer. " This bitch needs to die for hurting our alpha!" Beta Samuel roared, his canines flashing as his bright blue glowing eyes glared at me deadly. He snarls as he fights against Eli and Chris. Eli roared, pushing his Beta back by wrapping his fingers around his neck and with the help of Chris manages to slam Samuel into the far wall, away from me. Eli snarls. "She's now our luna! Xavier just told you to leave her. So you will LEAVE HER!" Beta Samuel looked furious that Eli and Chris were getting in his way again. He spat, his eyes still so cold and deadly glaring at me. " Alpha Xavier is still in a bad shape, he may not even know what he's saying right now." "Which makes it even better to leave her until he wakes up fully. He has claimed her, her death alone would destroy him no matter if he ha
Lily's povBetrayal. All I could feel was betrayal as I watch her back as she leaves out the door. I didn't want to feel the burning rage coursing through me. Not when I thought she was my friend. I didn't want to hate her. But as my eyes left the door and settle on my brother, all I could feel was hatred. I lost everyone, I didn't want to lose him too. He was the only family I have left and no matter how annoying he was, I loved him dearly. For a girl who I thought was so innocent yet different from everyone to cause this much harm to my brother. Was nothing but a monster. The word felt bitter and unjustified. She didn't look like a monster, and didn't act like one either. And maybe she wasn't. But in the moment, she was to me. Xavier groans, his forehead beading with sweat. My most feared brother was now like a dead weight. He looked like death. "You shouldn't have Lily." I lift my head to Rodrick, keeping my true emotions at bay. " How should I treat someone who basically a
《Aurora's pov》I plastered myself closer to the cold wall on the farthest corner from the other cell. I could sense someone there, basically feel their presence. I lift my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around myself. It was rather cold in here and I didn't expect anything less. This is what I deserve. I froze, my heart dropping heavily as I hear the sound of someone hitting the cage. My eyes lift, scanning around the dark foggy area. I didn't like here.I pressed my knees closer to my chest when I got confirmation that there was indeed someone in the other cell next to mine. Hands with dirty claws wrap around the metal bars slowly, almost mockingly if I didn't know any better before the glow of yellow emerges out of the dark, staring right at me.I shivered, my heart pounding in my chest furiously. His or her claws drag against the metal creating a sharp irritating sound.I stay muted knowing that whoever was there could see me. " Pretty yet weird, just my type." A groggy
《Aurora's pov》I was so hot. So hot.I scratched at my arms that prickled. I felt icky and had the strangest urge to remove every bit of clothing on my body.But I fought it." Come closer, I'll help you with it," Cyril growled, kicking the metal bars harshly.I flinched. How could he possibly help me with this?I cried out, my lungs burning as I itched my skin, my nails digging into my flesh. I needed to get out of here. I felt like I was burning up. It wasn't helping that I had a layer of clothes covering my body.I gasped, latching my fingers on the opening of my top and pulling it slightly away from my skin, hoping some cool air would reach there.I've never felt this scorching heat before. Never had to suffer through this.I lift my finger to the branding on my neck. It was hot and itched even more.Did this have something to do with the mark?"Come to me, come over," Cyril growled, his teeth peeking out as he presses his face between the space of the bars and tries to fit throug
Lily's pov Before I can blink, Xavier is on his feet and surprisingly doesn't stagger. He looks ahead as if completely blind by the presence of Chris and me. "Xavier," I called out to him unsure of what was happening or what to do. It was quite obvious he wasn't himself and Reckon had seemingly taken over. It's like he doesn't hear my voice or perhaps didn't acknowledge it as he snarls, his claws emerging out little by little as he faces the door. "Mine. Mine. Mine!" He roars his long legs getting him closer to the door in a few seconds. Chris who looks rather alarmed goes over to him using his speed. But when he reaches out for Xavier, he's pushed aside, his body colliding with the wall in the far corner. I gasp, looking over at Chris. Chris groans, wincing when he tries to move. Not knowing what to do I stay rooted where I am completely terrified and stunned. I turn to stare at Xavier's rigid back. I watch Xavier leave the room in a hast, snarling as he went by. It didn't make
《Aurora's pov 》With his weight pressing me down to the mattress, I couldn't quite wiggle out of his hold. And honestly, I had no intentions to.Xavier nudges my legs to part to give him more room to get tucked between my thighs. I sighed, parting them further, his huge body fitting between them until I felt his cock brushing against my inner thigh.It was huge and intimidating, feathering against my most intimate throbbing part. He growls, his eyes flashing a burning red.With his teeth peeking out, I froze. "Wait," I breathed out, my hands coming on his shoulder.I was still burning and now knew I needed him to quench that fire, this heat. But not like this. Not when his beast had taken over completely.I wanted him to do it of his own free will.I was ready for him but was he ready for me?His beast looked at me in question, his eyes fighting a battle within the depths of his soul. He wanted to continue but respected me enough to stop."Allow Xavier control. I want you both." I whi
《 Aurora's pov》My heart feels like it was ready to jump out of my chest, the burning in my belly intensifying as Xavier's tongue dips deeper."Xavier," I moaned clawing at his roots. I may as well be pulling out his hair altogether but I couldn't.......stop.It was serving as the only anchor to keep me from shattering. But writhing, that I couldn't stop.I took in a shuddering breath when his tongue lapped at my opening as if trying to drink every drop of my wetness.I wanted to ask him how it tasted. But I thought it would be naughty of me.So I bit into the flesh of my lips, my teeth sinking into the softness until it felt sore and probably pierced.But I didn't care. Not even when I felt the tang of blood on the tip of my tongue.I gasped as Xavier's big hand clamp around my hips, his fingers spreading out on my hot skin as if he couldn't choose exactly where he wanted to touch at the moment.His palm pressed on the bone of my hip, his fingers digging into my skin as he forced me
《Aurora's pov》 "Push Luna." The female doctor encouraged. "Ahh!" I screamed loudly that it bounced off the walls in the room and danced outside. I held onto my knees, lifting myself up a little and pushed. My chest rose and fell, my heart beating incredibly fast. My hair stuck to my sweaty face and the gown I wore was plastered to my sweaty body. Xavier had one knee on the bed the other on the floor, and one of his arms holding my back while the other removed the tresses off my face. "You got this my love. If anyone can do it, it will be you." He whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek despite me being so sweaty. "Come on Luna. Push!" The female doctor encouraged louder while the other nurses around her made a shout of encouragement. "One." I breathed put through my lips as Xavier rubbed my back. "Two." "Three." I pushed harder, silently begging our baby to hurry up and come out. The pain was unbearable and the doctor informed me that as soon as the child is out, it was common
《Aurora's pov 》"Let's get out of here now." I urged when I reach beside Cass and Serena.Cass nods in agreement and so does Serena.I had just made the entire Crystal River pack rogues. They had no Alpha, no leader and Raphael had no heir.I was sure Raphael wanted the alpha title to be in his bloodline, which is why he would've forced me to carry his seed. So there's no way he would've passed it down to his Beta and Gamma.Now their ranks would no longer matter since they are now also rogues."I can shift," Cassandra suggested, looking at Serena.I looked at Cass worriedly. "Are you sure you can handle it?" I asked in concern while I shift my gaze to the wolves who were still there. They looked lost, not knowing what to do or where to go from here.I also had them still trapped, not wanting them to attack when we least expected it.Because even though they weren't trying to escape the captivity of the roots and branches, I still did not trust them. They were, after all, the same wol
《Aurora's pov》"Come on we don't have much time!" I rushed out as I hear the snarls of the wolves. They were fighting back.I looked around frantically, unsure of which route to take. I can't go back upstairs and I wasn't sure there weren't others waiting for us the other way out of this nasty place. Cass stepped over the little protruding of the steel left and runs over to me, she pulls me in a hug. " I'm so glad he hadn't done anything to you Rora." I bit my tongue, not wanting to tell her that he did actually break my wrist, and prayed that she wouldn't notice the ugly discoloring that was slowly starting to paint the skin of my wrist. She pulls away and stares at my face, her eyes roaming everywhere in worry. "That's not your blood is it?" Her tone was filled with concern, something that did not surprise me one bit.I shook my head no. "It's not," I whispered shakily knowing the woman's eyes would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had taken her life and had not cared in the m
: Xavier's pov :I stormed out of the pack house, my body trembling with unleashed anger. Reckon was furious, livid in fact. He wanted his mate back in our arms. We were ready for war. But as I scan my eyes over the fighters of my pack, I am aware that some did not seem to want to fight at all. Which was worrisome. For them, not me. "Why is no one in their positions and ready to take off!?" I snarled through the air. "Have the Crimson Moon warriors gone weak?" I sneered when no one answered just looked away. A boy, not older than twenty looked at me and thought it was a good idea to speak. "We think it's a stupid idea to go against Raphael right now, especially when he has the wolfsbane. And now that he has the Luna. He can make more- "Are you saying you'd much rather leave your Luna to die!?" I snarled taking a menacing step forward. He needs to choose his words carefully. I may not be as patient as I portray. The boy squirms and bends his head. "No, of course not." It's quiet
《 Aurora's pov》I kept my gaze plastered to the floor as the male wolf led me through the packhouse. I can hear snickers and my gut wrenches as I remember what I had endured by these wolves hands.They were cruel and I should not expect anything less."Such an imbecile for thinking she can escape alpha Raphael. Dumb bitch."The voice belonged to Alice, after years of tormenting, and my brain now can detect her voice instantly.I can hear the others laugh at my expense but I still kept my gaze down. It would be best to ignore them and not waste my time by staring at their faces."What is that stench?" Alice asked with disgust in her voice.The male wolf's hand around my arm is brutal and I was sure if he added the slightest of pressure he'll manage to break my arm.He leads me up the staircase just behind the struggling vampire who was also held by a buff cruel looking male wolf. His face was familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face."Let go of me you nasty leech!" The vampire wo
《Aurora's pov》I pulled away from Cass completely to stare at the female vampire. I looked at her confused.The way she spat out my name was as though we were well acquainted and that I had done her something extremely terrible.I did not know the woman. And have never seen her before.She was not at all familiar but she seem to give away that she knew my mother.And by the nasty glare coming from her eyes to burn through me, I knew that she hadn't quite liked my mother as well."How do you know my mother?" I whispered in intrigue.This was the first time someone have ever mentioned my mother. Because no one knew her. No one knew what she was.But this woman, I can tell by the gleam in her eyes, she knew her. She knew me. And she knew what we were. Perhaps what we can do as well.A smirk so cruel and disdainful appears on her lips. "You're a curious little thing aren't you? ""But to answer your question, I was a dear friend of your mother's. We were practically besties as they call i
- Raphael's pov - The door opens slowly and Beta Gavin pokes his head in with a nod. Good she's managed to get her. Smirking in satisfaction, I laughed. " You're getting bold for a guy whose mate is no longer under his protection." I can just smell the fear coming off of him through the phone. A man without his mate wasn't strong. An Alpha without his Luna, was the weakest of them all. I hope he feels the exact same way I felt years ago when he murdered my first Luna. Revenge, feels so God damn sweet. "More wolfsbane for me!" I sang and ended the call before he could respond. I was superior, I was fucking superior. No one can stand in my way now. I would be the strongest alpha alive and with her, no one will even think of trying to go to war with me. No one. Not even the so-called fearless leader of the crimson moon pack. The sound of a sob coming from the corner of the room had me rolling my eyes in irritation. She was a weak Luna and if her death would not have me weaken
《 Aurora's pov 》"I must go now love," Xavier says as he reluctantly peels away from me and walks over to the closet to pull out some clothes."Where are you going?" I whispered, dreading that he was parting ways with me even though I knew he was much needed now more than ever."We can no longer wait and have them attack us. I must start training the pack now. We don't have a few days to get ready, we only have hours." Xavier grumbles as if his gut was telling him that the council was well on their way.I will not lie, the tone of his voice made me nervous and if I was being honest, I was also feeling fear.A few hours, that was too little time.It wasn't enough time at all. Another reason to doubt that we would be ready when they do strike. I'm about to voice out my concerns but Xavier suddenly stops midway through putting on his sweatpants.He turns around and I instantly notice the fogginess in his eyes. He was being mind linked or he was mind linking someone. Either way, he seeme
《Aurora's pov 》"I've managed to close up the wound. We now have to leave it to his wolf to heal him and if we're lucky he'll be good in a few hours. " Rodrick sighs and I can literally feel the relief washing out of him and tangling in the air.My heart felt lighter upon hearing his words. Our Beta will survive, this was great news. The best news.Rodrick's hand is stained with blood as he removes it from Eli's wound. My stomach turns at the sight of it. So much blood."I'll give him a dose of sleeping medication so he can rest and not shift much to reopen the wound. " He utters while discarding the bloody needle on the small metal table beside the bed.He turns around perhaps to clean his hand off the blood, or perhaps to take the sleeping medication but before he could, Xavier's voice cracks through the air." What about Lily Rodrick? Will she be okay?" There's a visible tinge of worry in his voice that made me feel the emotion myself.Rodrick turns around slightly to look over his
