MATILDA'S POVIt was the bright light from the open window that woke me up that morning. I could not believe that I had slept up until this time. I had never been used to waking up late like this.I blinked severally, then my eyes landed on Alpha Moses' face, who was staring directly into my eyes with a smile on his face.His face was so close to mine that our breaths collided, forming a warm blanket of air around us."You are finally awake." His smile broadened, and I blushed.I could not get enough of waking up next to this man and seeing him staring at my face with so much love and admiration in his eyes."You should have woken me earlier," I said, shyly wondering how long he had been awake and staring at my face.He shook his head as he stared at my face. "I wanted my mate to get as much sleep as she wanted." I smiled shyly and snuggled against his chest. He immediately put his arm around me."You should get ready for the event that will be happening tonight." He suddenly said,I
MOSES'S POV I hurried to my chamber the next morning, hoping that Matilda would not be mad at me for staying out all night. I was also hoping she would still be asleep by that time since it was still quite early.I was unable to go back to the room that night because I had a bit of a situation that made me stay out late.During that evening's pack meeting, I learned that a rogue had attacked and killed three of my pack members.Angry that a rogue would dare attack a member of my pack, I personally went after the rogue because I wanted to make sure I caught him alive.He deserved a worse punishment than death for daring me.The rogue was quite a tough one, so it took all night for me to be able to capture him.After I had handed him over to the warriors and given them instructions on what to do with him, I hurried back to the room to go with my mate.But much to my greatest surprise and disappointment, I did not find her lying on the bed as I had expected."Matilda?" I called softly,
MATILDA' POVI could not believe my ears as I turned to face my sister, Hilda.She was standing there with her arms folded after blurting out words that were capable of getting me into serious trouble.I stood there staring at her, finding it difficult to comprehend what was going on at the moment.Was that it? So Hilda was actually going to betray once again.I was a fool to have trusted her again.I slapped my forehead in frustration and started running after Alpha Moses, who was walking away from me. I would have the time to confront her later, but for now, I had to find a chance to convince Alpha Moses that he was misunderstanding the whole situation.Alpha Moses kept walking faster, increasing his pace with each second, despite all my pleas.'I'm so done for.' I thought as I ran as fast as I could to meet up with his pace.What would I do to convince Alpha Moses that I did not sleep with Luxian? How do I explain to him that I didn't even know how I got to his bed?I kept on follo
MOSES'S POV As I stood there watching her get wiped, a series of emotions that I found difficult to explain kept running through my mind, but I still stood there, not giving any reaction; instead, I had a blank expression on my face.There was a large crowd gathered in the pack's square since the news had spread all over and all of the pack members had come to witness the event.After some time, I heard murmuring from the pack members who were closer to Matilda. At first, I dismissed it as the usual murmuring from a crowd when something was going on.But then I got to hear some of the words they were saying. I heard one of them say that Matilda had fainted.I snapped out of my nonchalant state and looked up immediately. I could see that she had gone limp and was not making any sounds again, but I could not tell if she had actually fainted.No, she did not pass out; she is just pretending to have fainted so that they would have pity on her. So shameless." Another pack member said:I w
MOSES'S POVLuxian offered me a chair when he saw me leaning on the wall, like I was having difficulty standing.I could not stop blaming myself for what had happened as I sat there scratching my head in regret. What had I done?Even Bax kept blaming me for what I had done.I killed my pup.Eva walked in a few minutes later and sat close to Matilda, who was still sleeping. She had a worried look on her face.Kelvin walked in much later too; he still looked confused about everything that had happened, especially seeing Matilda lying on the hospital bed. He kept staring at her with wide eyes, then he would steal a glance at me occasionally and quickly look away when I looked at him.I thought of asking Eva what happened since I remembered last night that Matilda had said she would return to the chamber with her."What happened last night after the party, Eva? Why did Matilda not return to the room last night as she had promised?""I had no idea that she did not return to the room; I rem
MATILDA'S POVAfter I sent Alpha Moses out of the room, I lay still on the bed, shedding tears.How dare he have the guts to come lie beside me after everything he did to me? After he stood there and let them beat me like a common criminal, he could not even trust me for once.Grandmother came into the room much later and walked towards the bed."I'm glad you are finally awake." She said she was smiling, but I could see the pain in her eyes as she looked at me."How are you feeling, my dear? Are you feeling any pain?" She asked with her hand on my forehead, trying to feel my temperature.I felt pains all over my body; despite the painkillers that I was given by Luxian after I woke up, I still felt pains, which were a result of the intense beating I had received. But the pain in my stomach was even worse; it was two times the pain I felt all over my body."It's just the excruciating pain in my stomach." I put my hand on my belly, massaging it slowly."You are going to be okay." She sai
HILDA'S POVEver since my parents sent me away from the pack house because I seduced Alpha Moses, my hatred for her has increased tenfold.It was hard to live with the thought that I was being punished because of her. But then knowing that Alpha Moses had moved her to the pack slave's quarters gave me a little bit of peace; at least, I knew that wherever she was, she was suffering twice as much as I was.But I was very disappointed when I found out that she turned out to be Alpha Moses's fated mate, and not just that she had even been allowed to return to the pack house. I could not stand the thought of that.It got even worse after I returned to the pack house and heard my parents making plans to visit Matilda and ask for her forgiveness and also settle the differences they had with her. I was enraged when I heard that.Matilda's life was becoming perfect all of a sudden, and here I was, stuck with an unwanted pregnancy that I was unable to abort, and also automatically stuck with so
MATILDA'S POVI managed to stand up on my feet after crying my eyes out. I needed to stop being weak.I started pacing around the hospital room with my weak leg, limping.The door suddenly opened, and I thought it was Grandmother coming back into the room. I turned around to see Eva with a droopy body."Matilda!" she cried. Her lip quivered as she ran towards me, wrapping her hands around my body.We both hugged each other tightly and cried on each other's shoulders."How are you doing, Matilda? Thank Goddess you are finally awake." She said, as she disengaged from the hug and looked all over my body, her bottom lip jutting out.She burst into tears as she looked all over my body."I'm so sorry, Matilda." She said, sobbing again. "It's all my fault that all of these happened to you. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."Her hand was on my waist, and she slowly led me to the bed and made me sit on the bed while looking at my weak leg.Tears dropped from her eyes like a run."It's not your
A lot happened in Matilda's life, but it's also okay to say that those things that happened to her played some roles in making her into a better person and in shaping her into who she is.For example, her parents sending her to the human city gave her a human best friend, Kelvin, who was still her best friend at the moment."I don't know what I would have done with my life if Kelvin had not come into my life." Matilda would always say:Then, alpha Moses, her parents forced her to marry Alpha Moses because they wanted to protect Hilda.Although she had suffered in his arms, he was the best thing that had ever happened to her.Not just that, she ended up not just being the Luna of the most feared pack, but one of the most feared people.She probably would not have gone this far if not for her determination as a result of how her parents had treated her.Matilda reminisced on the past events of her life as she got ready for training that morning.She had been in charge of the female warri
MATILDA'S POVThree weeks had passed since the Luna ceremony, and everything was going smoothly in the pack. Everyone was happy to have me as their Luna.Alpha Moses and I always pay frequent visits to grandmother's chamber.I suddenly started having some weird feelings inside me; sometimes I would fall asleep earlier than I usually did and even wake up later than I was supposed to.That morning, Alpha Moses and I visited my grandmother together as usual."You don't look okay, Matilda. What symptoms are you having lately?""Apart from the fact that I feel weak sometimes and a little bit nauseated, I am perfectly okay," I answered, wondering how she was able to notice I wasn't feeling fine."You should never ignore signs like that, my dear." She said to me, "You and Moses should go to the pack hospital after you leave here to check what the causes of the symptoms are." She said that, and we both nodded.After we left Grandma's place, I and Alpha Moses walked to the pack's hospital toge
MATILDA'S POVTwo weeks had passed since, after all of those events, the pack was finally peaceful once again for me and Alpha Moses. The Luna ceremony was finally going to be held today.And it was made even more splendid and beautiful than it had earlier been planned.The pack was filled with so many important people from different packs. The pack was filled to the brim with people of different statuses. The workers in the pack were even allowed to come for the ceremony.I was sitting in my room and being attended to by the make-up artist. Eva was by my side and asked the makeup artist to be fast."You have to be fast; the ceremony has started, and they will be waiting for Matilda there by now."Just like the color of my wolf, I wore a silver-colored dress and matched it with a black heel.Eva had chosen the color of the dress."This would suit perfectly for the occasion, and it's even the color of your wolf, and that makes it even more perfect."She had said the day that she had ch
MOSES'S POVMy heart sank and almost dropped out of my chest when I heard Matilda say that."What do you mean you would not give me a second chance? Is it because of this man?" I asked, pointing at the dragon, and Matilda scoffed."Or is it because of Sara? I swear, I had no idea how she got to our chamber that night you were in the pack hospital. Please believe me and give me another chance, Matilda." I pleaded seriously, but her face remained stone cold."Why not continue with so-called Sara?" The dragon chipped in. "And let me have this beautiful werewolf; she would do well in my kingdom."I got even more angry with the dragon for always getting involved."Shut up." I shouted at him, "Don't get yourself involved in family matters, especially when it does not concern you." I barked at him."It concerns me now since I am already in Matilda's life, and I take it upon myself as a responsibility to make her happy. And I doubt if she would be able to find happiness with you when you are
MOSES'S POVMy head tilted, and my eyes furrowed at the scene in front of me in confusion. Seeing the creature, who I knew would be a dragon, massaging my mate's legs made me angry.I raised my hand to take Matilda off his lap, but he stepped my hand away, even before I could touch her, and my wolf growled.Why was this dragon denying me access to my mate? How did she even find herself lying on his lap in the first place?"Who are you?" I asked him angrily, my jaw clenched.All I got in return was a straight face, and he did not bother answering my question.It was Eva who answered my question, seeing how distorted I looked."He was the one who helped us fight off Alpha Derek's vampires after Matilda passed out while trying to heal my wound." She explained, and I rolled my eyes.It was not as if I couldn't do that for my mate, but she chose not to tell me, and I sensed Bax smirking at me."Because she knows how stupid you are," Bax replied sarcastically," but I chose to ignore him.I
MOSES'S POVI was in a meeting with some of the pack elders in the throne room when I suddenly started to feel a sharp pain in my chest like several pins were being driven into my heart at once.Bax whispered to me that our mate was in pain."And what if she has gone to be with another man?" I asked because she had been angry with me recently and had refused to let me come close to her."Why do you always like sounding stupid? How did I end up with someone like you?" Bax shouted at me. "And I said she is in pain, and you are saying she is with another man. And even if she is with another man, it's your fault, and it serves you right." He shouted.I immediately stood up from the throne and walked away from the meeting room, my hand on my chest, even though it was an important meeting, leaving the elders confused.Louis stood up and walked outside after me, sensing that something could be wrong.I ran straight to Matilda's room because the pain in my heart kept increasing with every pas
MATILDA'S POVThe sound of Eva's screams started to fade slowly, my eyes opened slowly, and to find myself in a different environment, I darted my eyelashes again, making sure I was seeing the right thing. Still, the environment started to get clearer in my vision, entirely different from where I was. I was supposed to be at Alpha Derek's pack, fighting a war.The environment was serene and beautiful; it was like nothing I had ever seen. Not only did it differ starkly from the battlefield, it was exquisite and divinely beautiful. The beauty and eloquence of the place are beyond description; I could not bring myself to take it all in, let alone be able to bring it into proper description.I stood confused and looked around the new place, which was adorned with exceptional beauty, and everyone around me wore beautiful smiles on their faces.They were all on white, sparkling cloth with not even a single stain on it. It caused me to look down at my own clothes to see how they were stained
MATILDA'S POVWe made sure not to give up the fight, even with the arrival of the vampire allies Edward came with. After I cleared the air, the fight continued and became even more intense.As the fight got more heated, I decided to summon my unique power and start burning the vampires. There were too many, and I even noticed they were trying to capture me, but I was too fast for them to capture.I went ahead fighting, attacking, and beheading Alpha Derek's wolves, and vampires. My dagger suddenly landed on Edward, but I made sure not to kill him. Even though he was a traitor, he was still the brother of my best friend, and I would not want to take him from her.I remembered how happy she had been when she found out he was alive and not dead.Even though I tried not to kill, he kept attacking me with his dagger, and I had no choice but to defend myself while employing caution to make sure he would not die in the process."Why would you betray your sister, Edward? Do you have any idea
MATILDA'S POV After giving instructions on how Alpha Daniel and his mate should be taken to the cabin, Tony gathered all the warriors in the pack to the training ground, and with his help, I was able to select the most fierce out of them.I gathered the warriors that were selected on the training ground and took them through a brief training."As you all know, we are going to face the pack of one of the most powerful Alphas; this is not going to be an easy battle at all. That only means that we have to be very prepared. And most importantly, we should be ready for anything that happens, and when I say anything, I really mean anything because anything could happen."I looked at all of their faces one after the other as I spoke to see if any of them had any odd expressions. But they all looked fearless as they listened, and everywhere was quiet.Eva and I went to the pack's store room and started to source weapons that would be useful to us in the battle."See what I found," Eva said a
