Killian's eyeballs became red with anger as he stared at the pathetic Sara. He picked up the stone from the ground and sighed.
“Diamond stone? Who could be so bold to place this stone on my Luna?” He growled, his intimidating aura could be felt miles away.
Jared was beyond shocked, he wasn't expecting Killian's sudden appearance. He nearly had a heart attack as Killian scraped off the stone at the very moment that he had waited for.
“Guards!” Killian screamed, and two men ran towards him.
“Yes, my Alpha.” They chorused simultaneously.
“Who did this to my Luna?” He asked them fiercely, and they both trembled.
They had suddenly felt dizzy and they both passed out while they were safeguarding Sara's room.
“Did you suddenly lose your voices? Didn't I instruct you to keep her safe?” He roared at them, his icy aura pierced through their heart.
Killian called another set of guards and ordered them to drag the incompetent guards out of his presence.
“Twenty lashes each,” he commanded, as they were being dragged out.
Sara coughed, and opened her eyes slowly. Somehow, the extreme heat she felt had subsided, and she wondered if it was due to Killian's presence.
“I am sorry you had to go through that.” Killian said to her, while Sara shook her head.
“It's alright.” She replied with a smile.
“Who was the one that tried to hurt you?” Killian asked her.
Sara stared at the ceiling as she tried to recall who the person was. Funny as it sounds, she couldn't remember the face of the person, it was as if his face had been erased from her memory. All that she could remember was the groceries he gave to her. She racked her brain further as she stared intensely at the groceries.
“Sara?” Killian called, taking her out of her thoughts.
“I can't remember, I only know that the person gave me those groceries.” She said, pointing at the groceries beside her bed.
Killian sighed,
“Don't take those groceries, I will take them back for investigation. You can visit the market when you are feeling better to get your own groceries.” He said to her, but was met my Sara's little frown.
“Take my badge. You can get whatever you want from the market without paying a dime.” He continued, and the frown on her face disappeared almost immediately.
“Thank you.” Sara muttered to him.
“Take some rest. I still have some things to do.” He said, as he walked out of the room. He had felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his mate pull was misbehaving, which hinted him that Sara might be in danger.
“Luckily, I arrived in time. Her identity might have been exposed for real.” He thought within himself. He was now sure that Sara was from the Red moon pack. The whitish smoke had begun to change to red when he scraped off the stone, but it was still little, and very hard to see at a glance.
He sighed, and continued on his way.
Three days after the incident, Sara had gotten better and even healthier than before.
“I will love to visit the market.” Sara said to Violet, who was busy knitting some clothes.
“The market? I can go in your place.” Violet said, as she dropped the cloth she was knitting.
“No, thank you. I have been here for a while, and I have not yet familiarized myself with most places here. Let me just go this time.” She replied her personal maid, violet.
“Alright then. But don't stay long.” Violent warned.
“Of course.” She replied. She knew fully well when to return, especially with the increasing atrocities of the rogue wolves.
She left her room and headed straight to the market. A lot of things caught her attention, but she made up her mind to get only the groceries that she needed.
“That's her. They said she is our Luna?” Someone said amongst the crowd.
“Our Luna? I am not even sure she is from our pack. It's my first time seeing her.” Another person added.
Sara could hear them perfectly, but she chose to ignore them, as she continued her walk down the market square.
She got to a grocery shop and got all that she wanted. Then it was time for payment. Sara took out the badge Killian had given her and showed it to the sales woman.
The woman glanced at the badge and flung her suspicious gaze at Sara.
“Who gave you this badge?” The woman asked, as she stared at Sara with condescending eyeballs.
“Excuse me?” Sara asked in surprise.
“You must be a thief? How could you have our Alpha's badge?” The woman screamed, which drew the attention of most people as they all gathered around them.
“What do you mean by that? It was Killian that gave it to me.” Sara replied coldly.
Anger and fury found their way through the woman's gut as she she boiled fiercely.
“How dare you call our Alpha by his name?” The woman screamed, she raised her hand in an attempt to slap Sara, but a huge force held her hand up in the air, which made her suffer great pain.
The force was a bit soft, yet harsh. Everyone recognized the force to be the Luna's own, and they all gasped in awe.
“She is truly the Luna?” They all murmured simultaneously as they bowed down before Sara.
Even Sara herself couldn't understand what had just happened, she had not accepted the mate pull, how could she tap into the Luna's greatest power.
She carried her groceries and walked hurriedly out of the market.
She sighed as she walked along the path that led to the town square. Strangely, the path was desolate and quiet which opposed to how lively and bustling it used to be.
Sara, who was deep in her thought didn't realize the danger that lurked around.
All she saw was a lightning flash in her eyes as a huge stick was used to hit her head, rendering her unconscious.
“Done! Carry her deep into the woods.” A deep-voiced man said, while the rest carried her far into the dangerous woods.
Sara's pulse raced as she regained her consciousness, her eyes were covered, and a cloth was stuffed into her mouth which prevented her from screaming.She struggled to stand up as some footsteps approached her hurriedly, but her legs and hands were both tied. She could tell that it wasn't a single person, as they marched towards her.“What do we do with her?” A man said. His voice was deep, and it echoed inside the cave that Sara was kept.“Let's wait for her orders.” The other man replied. His voice, though deep, was a bit softer than the first man’s.Suddenly, Another footstep could be heard approaching them, which was rather soft and elegant. Whoever was coming must be an elegant and beautiful lady.The men bowed before her, and called her;“My lady,” they greeted, and Sara wondered who the person could be.The only thing she could sense from the lady was her strong scent which filled up her nostrils.“Nice job.” The lady said coldly. Her icy voice was in total contrast to how sof
Killian carried Sara back to the castle, people stared in awe as he held her tightly to his chest.“My lady.” Violet called as she ran towards Killian.“Are you alright?” She asked instantly, while Sara nodded.“Take her to her chambers so she could rest.” Killian ordered, while Violet obeyed.He placed Sara down who muttered a thanks to him as she walked away.Her encounter had indeed traumatized her, but the lovely scent and warmth of Killian calmed her heart. Killian watched her as she walked away, he had never realized how deep he cared for her, until the critical moment. He smiled for some seconds after which a deep frown took over his face. He turned to the men that were being held by the guards.“Jim,” he called out his personal assistant.“Yes sir,” Jim replied as he hurried to his side.“Call me the elders, I have an important meeting with them.” Killian said in an authoritative voice.“Yes, my Alpha.” Jim said with a bow.Killian turned to the common room where the meeting w
It was another full moon night, which signified that it was already a month that Zayne rejected Sara as his mate. He sat on his throne, and let out a deep sigh. He couldn't help but wonder who his new mate was going to be.Several maidens were dressed in their most beautiful attires, each one of them praying hard to get a mate.Zayne flung his gaze over all the people who had gathered in the pack’s Market square. Everyone of them was in eager anticipation, and filled with joy.The case was different for Zayne. Somehow, he had felt a lonley spot in his heart right from when he rejected Sara, which made him think if he had made the right decision by rejecting her.A loud chanting was heard, and everyone turned their eyes in the direction. The moon priestess was seen walking towards the center of the gathering. She held a long staff, and some ladies, all dressed in white, walked behind her.“Red moon pack, I bring to you the wishes of the moon goddess.” The moon priestess said, and a sil
Sara whispered softly as she walked through the woods. She glanced at the full moon that shone brightly on the ground. She could hear some happy noises coming from the pack's gathering floor.The excitement that came with the unmated werewolves getting their mate was unparalleled.Sara sighed as she sat on a stone, humming softly while she thought of her whole life in general, especially since her meeting with Killian.Sara could feel herself getting drawn to Killian, especially last time when he saved her from the coffin, and carried her in his arms home. She longed for the warmth she felt that day.“But what's with his cold aura?” She asked herself. Nice and handsome as Killian was, he exuded a cold and distant aura, that made those close to him shiver in fear. Even Sara sometimes would be struck with fear whenever Killian approached her.She sighed, and got up to be on her way when she heard a cry, more like a baby's cry. She wanted to ignore but the cry became louder that she coul
Killian watched with a smile as all the unmated werewolves got their own mate.His heart was enriched with happiness as he watched his pack filled with joy.Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain go through his heart, which made him stand up immediately.“What was that?” He couldn't help but ask himself.He threw a gaze around the whole pack while he panted heavily. The pain occured for the second time and he held his chest in pain.“What's going on?” He muttered in pain.He sat down gently as he observed the whole environment. He had an intuition that something was going wrong.“Oh no! Sara!” He exclaimed as he got a hold of what the pain meant. It was their mate pull, it was their mate pull that made him feel so uncomfortable.“Something must be wrong with Sara.” He muttered to himself. He beckoned to one of his guards, and instructed him to safeguard his throne.“I will be back soon.” He said to the guard, as he flew into the woods, running as fast as his legs could carry him.Meanwhile, w
A loud knock sprang the two of them up simultaneously. Killian stared through the curtains, the sun shone brightly which hinted the dawn of another day. The knock persisted once again.Killian walked down the bed, and yanked the door open.“Why must you disturb me in the early mornings?” A guard stood in front of Killian, his head slightly bowed.“Good morning, my Alpha. I was told to inform you that you have an urgent meeting with the silver bird pack.” The guard replied.Killian sighed. The silver bird pack had been their business partner over the years.“I will be there in a minute.” Killian responded and slammed the door shut.Sara’s lips wore a bright smile as Killian turned to her,“Hope all is well?” She asked him.“Of course. I just have a business meeting to attend to, and it's very urgent.”Killian wore his clothes, and striped his belt around him.“Danger lurks around, so don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back.” Killian said, as he walked out of the room.Sara nodded.
“What? Are you surprised?” Jared mumbled as he climbed down his almighty chair. He stood mightily in front of Sara, staring straight into her terror-stricken eyeballs.“What…do you want from me?” Sara stammered, shrinking under Jared's agonizing gaze.“The Luna? Do you really think of yourself as the Luna?” A voice echoed from behind. Sara could sense her nostrils filled with a particular scent, she could identify the scent from the hundreds of scents that collided in the room. She flung her eyes in the direction of the voice, two ladies walked in, each one of them carrying herself with an air of pride and elegance.“It's the same scent, the lady that kidnapped, and stalked me.” She thought within herself as she rolled her eyeballs over them.“But who could it be amongst the two?”“Father, why waste your time over this low-life bitch?” “She is not even an inch qualified to be our Luna.” One of the girls, Lydia said as she walked inside. She was keenly followed by her close friend, Sa
Sara's heart warmed as she lay in Killian's warm embrace. She stared into his ocean-blue eyes as he wrapped her up in his cozy arms.“I am sorry you had to pass through that,” Killian said, as he gently placed her on the bed.“It's alright,” Sara muttered. A soft smile escaped her as Killian adjusted her hair.Killian sighed, his eyebrows furrowed, and it was evident that a lot was going on in his mind.“I think Lydia has something to do with my abduction,” Sara said after about five minutes of awkward silence.“Really? Why do you say so?” Killian asked sharply. His worried face was suddenly taken over by curiously.“The scent. I could recognize her scent when I was brought before Jared.” She muttered softly, as though she was afraid of someone listening to their conversation.Killian took in a deep breath. He had noticed Jared's unscrupulous behavior, yet he had always overlooked it, thinking that he would change over time, but it turned out that he was wrong.“I will get to the root
“Did he know I added the pill? The color remained the same, and nothing about the odor changed. Oh no…did it taste different?” Various thoughts flashed through Violet's mind as she darted her eyeballs around. She suddenly began to feel so hot despite the cool breeze that blew inside.“Violet?” Killian called out, causing Violet to raise her eyes sharply at him.“I…I don't understand what you are talking about, my Alpha. I didn't add anything to the water.” Violet stuttered, rubbing her fingers against one another.“Well…” Killian paused, dropped the cup on the table and smiled.“The water felt so refreshing, and it calmed my boiling nerves. That's why I asked you the question. Don't overthink it.” He said to her calmly. Violet took a deep breath, bit her lower lip and sighed.“You can leave.” Said Sara as she dismissed Violet. She turned to Killian, looking so perplexed as she was unsure of what just happened.“What happened just now? Did she truly mix something with the water?” Sara
“My Alpha, are we going to ignore the moon priestess warnings? I am sure she said those words for no reason.” One of the elders chipped in during the council meeting with Killian.Killian sighed, brushed his hair with his hand and shook his head.“It troubles me also. I don't understand what she meant by those words she said to Sara. Or does she imply that we use Sara as a sacrifice? That can't be possible.” Another elder added after Killian took a while to respond.Killian glanced at the two elders, they were elder Maxwell and elder Keon. Both of them had opposed him violently when he wanted to ascend the throne as the alpha of the pack.It's not surprising to him if they were actually pressuring him to use Sara as a sacrifice.“I don't think that's what she meant, elder Keon. There is something you guys don't know, and I am ready to tell you now.” Killian paused to take a deep breath. He tightened his grip around his chair, realizing the weight of what he was about to say.“Sara is
“Mother, I thought you died. How have you been all these while? You’ve suffered.” Zayne cried, he placed his mother on a sofa and sat beside her.Calypso, Zayne's mother grabbed his hand, stroked it gently and smiled. Zayne had ordered the maids to clean her up and make her refreshed.In her current state, she looked nothing less than a beautiful maiden in mid-twenties.“Don't blame yourself my son. I also didn't expect to survive the huge fire. Luckily, I was saved by a young man who took me out of the pack. Probably due to the shock, I lost my memories and just regained them weeks ago.” She explained to him. Zayne brimmed widely as he listened to Calypso's talk. He nodded his head, grabbed a bottle of wine and poured some for Calypso.“I won't forgive Killian for making you pass through that. He will pay for his sins.” Zayne uttered, clenching his fists together while Calypso instantly held his hand and tightened it even more.“Yes son, you should avenge me. The red moon pack and th
“Really? You don't want to call me Zayne?” Zayned asked with a smile. He turned over to his left side so he could stare straight at Betty.“I mean…everyone calls you Zayne, I just want to be unique.” Betty hummed, she but his lower lip, wore a little frown that would make Zayne agree to her request.Zayne sighed, laid on his back while he stared blankly at the ceiling. Betty, upon seeing she got no response from Zayne stood up and placed her hand on Zayne's bare chest.“What are you thinking?” She inquired.“Vincent.” Zayne replied to her, his face was expressionless as he mentioned the name.“What?” Betty asked, her face crawling up in confusion.Zayne's emotionless expression suddenly disappeared as a warm smile formed in his lips;“Didn't you want a unique name for me? You just reminded me of my mother. She was the only one in the world that called me Vincent, she never called me Zayne. And I also remember the scar that was right on her forehead” He explained to her. Betty slowly w
“What do you think of what the moon priestess said? Her words somehow scare me?” Sara uttered as she laid on Killian's arm, gazing at the full moon, and the shining little stars.Killian tilted his head sideways, his lower lip curled up as a smile crept on his lips.“I feel like she just said that to intimidate you, she was probably joking.” Killian replied to her. Sara snorted, her brows furrowed in confusion while she pouted her lips.“It doesn't feel like that. She seemed so serious when she delivered the message, and something tells me that it's important I listen to her.” She sighed. Killian gently sat up, pulled Sara into his embrace while he slowly rubbed her hair.“Don't be afraid. I am here. I failed to protect you the last time, I assure you that nothing will happen to you again.” Killian assured her with a soft, yet firm voice. He slowly dragged his hand down her head and rested it on her belly.“Our…our child. How's it?” Killian stuttered, his head hitting hard as he dread
“Give us your blessings, moon priestess. We’ve accepted our mate bond, and thankfully, the prophecy can be reversed.” Zayne smiled at Betty as he said to the moon priestess.The moon priestess nodded her head, walked towards Betty and smiled.“Betty, right?” She inquired, slowly grabbing Betty's injured leg and applied some whitish cream on it.“Yes, moon priestess. I fell in love with Zayne at a glance, and I can say that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.” Betty replied to the moon priestess who simply nodded her head without looking at her.The moon priestess took a deep breath, and glanced at Zayne.“It's done. Her leg should be perfectly healed in three days.” She stated, packing her stuff back into the bag.“Thank you moon priestess. It's our honor to have you here.” Zayne responded, still smiling at Betty.The moon priestess looked at Betty for a while, before a worried expression formed on her face.She seemed to give off a mixture of auras, one seemed calm and rela
“My Alpha.” Three guards bowed in front of Zayne, breathing hard as they stared at each other.“What exactly happened? Just tell me.” Zayne fired, as he brows furrowed in confusion. He leaned forward on his throne, his mind reeling for answers.“It's about Sara, my Lord.” One of the guards replied to him. Zayne jumped up from the throne as if the message had a stinging effect on his butt.“What happened to her? Didn't I tell you to drop that corpse in front of the blue moon pack?” Zayne inquired as he marched towards the men. He grabbed one of them by the chin, his hot breath brushing the face of the guard.“She…she has returned to Killian's side.” The guard stuttered, bringing his head down as he avoided Zayne's fiery gaze.Zayne staggered a few steps, he curled his fingers into a fist, clenching it so hard till his sharp fingers made a cut on his palm, causing blood to drip down his hand.He bit his lower lip, turned around and slowly walked to the throne. He sat with his head burie
Sara flung around just to see two ladies standing behind her, one was dressed in black, with a dark veil tied around her face, while the other stared at her with love, and compassion.The lady clubbed in black groaned as blood gushed out of her belly, she crashed to the wet ground, her dark red blood mixing with the rain water that flowed.“My lady.” Violet ran to Sara, hugged her as tears pumped down her eyes forcefully. She wrapped her hands around her tightly as she sobbed. Sara opened her mouth, but the words couldn't get past her throat. All these while, she had thought Violet was no more, she had thought she was the cause of Violet's death, and had blamed herself for it.“I thought you were dead, I thought I wouldn't have a master to serve anymore, but thanks to heaven, you are alive.” Violet cried. Sara lifted her hand slowly and patted Violet's back, she rolled her eyes to the dying lady that groaned softly.“Violet, who is she?” Sara asked her. Violet wiped her tears, withdre
“Wait…did you hear that?” Killian suddenly stopped, walking back into the ancestral rooms as he frantically scanned the whole area.“Hear what? I didn't hear anything” Violet asked him, also darting her eyes around, wondering what Killian was talking about.“She called me, I heard her voice. I heard her voice just now.” Killian screamed, he rushed out of the ancestral house, running towards the forest that bridged the blue moon pack from the red moon pack.“Whose voice did you hear? Who the hell called you?” Violet yelled after him, confused about Killian's strange behavior.She locked the ancestral room and ran after Killian.The clouds suddenly turned dark, accompanied by some huge lightning strikes, and violent thunders as a heavy rain threatened to pour.Nevertheless, Killian kept on running deeper into the forest. He was suddenly filled with a surge of energy, that even his injured leg couldn't hold him back.“Did you hear it also?” He asked his wolf as he ran under the dark clou
