I know many are frustrated with the updates lately, I am too. But right now I can't change that. But since the book is nearing completion, I'd suggest to those impatient for updates to wait until the book is completed. I will notify you when it's done via Instagram :)
《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
《 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
: 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》"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
《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》 "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
PrologueMy life wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. The little light I could get was always far out of my reach. It was slipping away until the hope of ever getting to that light was tugged away from me. But then, he came along.Or should I say, I stumbled on his territory? Xavier Knight. The vicious leader, Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack.He was supposed to end me, kill me like all the rumors I've heard, said he would. But he spared me. I didn't know why he did that day. Until little by little, he showed me.Xavier Knight was my mate.Which wasn't supposed to be possible. We were completely different creatures. But the craving of his touch and the way I couldn't possibly resist him proved that this was indeed our fate.
《 Aurora's pov 》The sun beats down my back brutally as I place the now dry clothes in the basin. I had not eaten from morning and the hunger was slowly eating me alive.I was sweaty and icky and in need of a shower. But I knew better, until I was done with my chores I couldn't relax under the sprinkle of water. I sighed, placing the last of Alpha Raphael's clothes in the basin."Hey Aurora!"I whip around and smile at Cassandra. She was the only wolf who didn't look at me in disgust and was my only friend. She was the daughter of an omega and was classified as one also. An omega was the bottom of the ranking chain in the wolf community but seeing as no one knew what I was, I suppose I was the very bottom in this pack."Need any help today?" Her pretty dirty blonde hair whips over her shoulder as she bounds over to me. Even though they treated her badly, Cas never showed how truly hurt she felt by their words. They taunted

- 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
