Melissa's POV

Killian looked so torn. And no, I'm not talking about the cuts in his flesh or the splits in his cloth. I'm talking about his inner man. One look at him and you would easily conclude that he's accepted his fate—he had accepted his death, but yet, along with the look of a man who is torn, is the look of triumph. You'd look into his eyes and you'd see fulfillment and acceptance, not even an iota of regret or fear.

Despite all the torture he had gone through, he was still head bent on keeping shut on all the questions he was asked. With every stroke of the whip he received, I felt the pain with him and for as many times he died, I died with him.

This is shocking coming from a girl who has never felt pity, I know.

As I stood and watched the suffering he had to endure for love, I couldn't help but pity the man. His eyes were shallow and filled with accomplishments and I think that was what provoked Jason all the more.

    Maya’s POV“And that tome when Edna got stranded before we became familiar with this place and all the trees and stuff?” Tommy laughed.“And she kept on screaming about how she had got lost and was going to die when she was only about a few metres from where we had left her too?” Shalom laughed.“Could she not have just tried to sniff her way out? You know, using wolf senses?” I laughed, hoping that Edna would somehow react and come charging for me.But she did not, she just sat there.“I asked the same thing! She could have just done that, but she did not!” Tommy said and reached his hand towards my direction. I raised my hand to hit his in a high five and we started to laugh.“In the end, I eventually had to come over and hold her hand and lead her out here. It was quite hilarious for everyone.” Shalom said, brushing some invisible dirt off her dress.“I always try my best to help everyone, you know?”“Wait, who remembers the first time that Edna had some Jerk chicken and Sichuan h

    Maya's povI felt cold all over as I stood frozen, I couldn't get myself to react or utter a word after hearing Alpha Rick's demand. Complete fear took over me and I didn't know if I wanted to go back to that pack. I was still struggling to heal from the experiences I had when I stayed there and now alpha Rick wanted me back there, to go through all his torture! I didn't know if I wanted that for myself and at the same time, I was thinking about Killian.I remembered all I'd been through in alpha Rick's hands when he tortured me and I knew Killian would go through worse, I didn't want that for him. He was one of us and I knew if I were in his shoes, he'd try to save me too. I slowly sat down, still clueless on what to say to everyone as they sat with shock and anger and worry all over their faces."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Asher yelled as he punched the wall. His veins stood out on his neck and I was scared of what he could probably do in that state of anger. Edna was still crying an

    Melissa's Pov.No no no no no no"This can't be happening. I didn't right…I didn't right?" I mumbled to myself, as I played back the event of seven minutes ago in my head. "I did not just kill Killian. It wasn't me…I didn't do it, right?"My head arched badly and it felt like with every syllable of the word I lamented, my heart was ripped out of its cage over and over again. It was never my intention to kill Killian. Fuck, I never wanted him dead. I was caught up with rage as I heard him say all those things to Edna. I didn't know what to do. I was feeling frustrated with every spark that traveled through the screen as they watched themselves even from miles apart. It was palpable…so palpable it made the atmosphere of the cell rise and burn my self-control.I looked haggard. My hair was everywhere and my mascara was running along with my nose but I didn't care. I couldn't….How could I have cared when I just killed the one man I've ever loved. I attacked my hair with my fingers and s

    Asher’s POVTommy and I were having a conversation about different random things. At first, I had thought that Tommy had called me to talk about what had happened as usual, and what had to be done. I mean, we knew what had to be done, but that seemed like the only thing that we ever talked about that had made any sense ever since.Speaking of senses, mine were over and all over the place and at the moment, all I wanted was just one thing. I mean, yeah, I wanted justice. I wanted to make things right, although it would not be that much of a right since we had lost members, good were wolves to Alpha Rick’s hands and all of that definitely had to be avenged sooner rather than later,but now, I wanted my mate. I wanted her by my side as I discussed with whomever that was interested in doing so, and as I pondered over the decisions that weighed heavily on my shoulders. I wanted MayaI wanted her touch, her smell, her presence. I felt like I was about to go mad, and now I was beginning to

    Maya's povEdna kept on squeezing the note that was sent by Melissa along with Killian's body as she stared blankly at nothing in particular while we decided to give Killian a burial to honor him for her sake. One moment, she was sniffing the paper with hatred and sorrow in her eyes, then the next, she was zoning out and staring at an empty space. When Daniel found the body and brought it home, he showed us the note without an idea of who sent the body, Edna snatched it and perceived it to catch the scent of who sent it… it was Melissa, she knew immediately because she could recognize her scent after our encounter with her when we were kidnapped. She had been a mess ever since she watched Melissa kill Killian in her front. She wasn't the cheerful Edna I knew anymore, she didn't eat or talk to anyone, she just slept and cried all the time. I and Shalom tried to give her our support and our love, hoping to make her feel better but it wasn't working.Then when Daniel found Killian's bod

    Alpha Rick's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Was it actually Maya I was seeing? Or was it just the effect of the few glasses of red wine I just had that was making me hallucinate? I looked around and no one was there so I looked forward again and Maya was there vividly clear this time and I was shocked down to my bones.Maya was a white wolf! It was impossible! I killed them all twenty years ago, it couldn't be… how did she survive and keep her identity as a white wolf a secret all these years? How did she live in silence all these years knowing the powers she possessed and the things she could do?I stared at her speechless as I was still in my state of shock. I was still finding it hard to find my words and question her to quench the fire of curiosity that was blazing in my head as she slowly came towards me with a smile playing on her face. I didn't really notice the smile though, it was the rage in her eyes that managed to plant fear in me, but I soon killed the fear and faced her

    Maya's povWhy on earth am I so nervous? I've been ready to marry this man since the day he rescued me from Alpha Rick's claws, but standing here right now, in my wedding dress in my bedroom, I felt like I couldn't breathe. The blood moon festival did not happen all through last year because according to the priest, the goddess was angry. But I was so sure about what I had with Asher and that was why I didn't give a second thought when he asked her to be his wife.Although I had suggested a much later date for the wedding, until I put to birth for the very least, the priest had insisted on this particular date for the wedding. "You've got this Maya," Edna said for the umpteenth time today, rubbing her hand on my arms as she continued" you are so beautiful. I can't even take my eyes off you""Edna, is it okay to feel like this.., what if..""Of course, …The tension, apprehension, and anxiousness always turn out to be a waste of time.

    Edna's POVMaya and Asher's wedding had ended early today and no party or reception was held because Maya needed to rest. I was surprised at how she still managed to pull everything off, despite the fact that she was far gone in her pregnancy. The penetrating and hideous howls echoed through the woods for the rest of the evening. I stayed indoors as the blood moon appeared in the pitch-black sky. The woods were close to the windows in my apartment. I kept pretending not to notice the wolves nearby and the night overall. It has been a long and stressful day. I couldn't add more stress by paying any attention to the reason for the day. Plus, it wasn't like I'd be getting another one soon. It's been a little over one year since Killian died and I was so sure the goddess hadn't made plans for me yet. I was so sure that the goddess was not yet ready for me but my wolf was trying to prove otherwise—she was craving the touch of our mate.I stood by my window and just stared into space, my

  • The Alpha's Battered Luna   Epilogue

    Edna's povI stared at the hundredth flower that Daniel had given me out of all the flowers he had been giving me for the past two weeks ever since we found out we were mates.It was weird and shocking at first. To find out that your close friend is your mate and I felt like it would be a betrayal to Killian wherever he was now, moving on from him after just a year. I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to reject Daniel because it would anger the goddess and I didn't know if I would ever have feelings for him because we'd been friends for a long time until a few days ago.I was in the kitchen alone making a late night snack after helping Maya put the babies to sleep when he came in. He was shirtless and had half sleepy eyes. I had never looked at Daniel that way but I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster and my mouth ran dry at the sight of him looking like that.I was also avoiding him ever since the blood moon festival after finding out he was my new mate. Guess the plan wo

    Maya's povI suddenly started feeling like I swallowed an elephant because damn, it was barely ten hours ago I finished my wedding and I didn't half of how heavy I suddenly felt. My weight doubled five times over.Dang!Asher had been busy with calls—answering to people that were still congratulating us and returning the calls to those he missed. I love being married to him. Even though one might think that has not changed after saying ' I do' and since I've practically lived as his wife for over a year now. But trust me, saying those two syllables 'I & do' would very much measure up to the best words I've said in all of my life. It feels so good to call him my husband and hear him call me his wife without having to cringe. Most of all, I am super happy because I finally got to carry his last name and just as you all already know, I'm growing his baby inside of me."Goddammit" I muttered to myself for the umpteenth time this evening after our wedding. "Uhhh" I groaned in frustration a
