MOSES'S POVI returned to the hall with a big frown on my face, my fists clenched and my lips pressed together. I had been happy ever since but finding out that Matilda was my second chance a few moments ago was enough to ruin my mood for the whole of that day.My face changed when I saw some of the wolves interacting happily with their newfound mates, my eyes traced the Alphas and their Lunas sitting on the high table, chatting happily.Everyone was happy except me, and it was all because of that good for nothing Matilda.It was still hard for me to believe that the moon goddess would give me a second chance to have a mate, but then why would she give me a pathetic mate? Was it to punish me for my wickedness? I angrily walked over and went to sit on my chair still with an annoyed look on my face. I was certain that it must be noticed that my angry face did not match the happy mood that every other person in the hall was in.I was still nursing my anger and thinking of my predicamen
MATILDA'S POV Eva and I were still hiding behind the big rock inside the cave when I heard Luxian calling my name while walking into the cave, looking around for us.The both of us came out from our hiding place as soon as we were aware that it was Luxian who had come into the cave. I should have known he was the one, who else knew about the cave if not him?"Luxian!" I called softly as I walked out of the hiding. " What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be at the mating event? Is the event over?" I asked him curiously, thinking he should be at the mating event except his situation turned out just like Eva.I totally forgot not wearing any clothes before Luxian walked in and used my hand to cover the upper part of my body, feeling shy standing in front of Luxian like that, but Eva seemed to act normal, she did not see it as anything, being seen by another wolf without wearing cloth.Even Luxian didn't see a big deal in this, he just looked at us just like the way he always
MATILDA'S POV My head hurt like crazy when I opened my eyes, at first there were scales in my eyes so I could not see properly, but I felt something cold moving on my body.I moved my hand and rubbed my eyes gently with my fingers."You are awake." I need a voice.I immediately recognized the voice that spoke to me, and then the scales covering my eyes wore out and I saw Eva hovering over me. She had a wet cloth on her hand and a bucket of water by her side."You are awake!" she said again looking at me as I sat up on the bed while rubbing my eyes at the same time. It was kind of hard for me to grasp exactly what was going on in my environment.Why had I zoned out and why does Eva have a worried look on her face?"How are you feeling now?" She asked worriedly, with her eyes scanning my body.I nodded my head to tell her I was okay, apart from the slight headache I felt, and the unrest all over my body I was okay. But then why was I having such a worried feeling?The look of worry on
MOSES'S POV I woke up with my eyes blurred and my head spinning, my head pounded, sharp and heavy and I felt pains all over my body, especially my stomach. I tried to set up on the bed but my entire body was weak, and then, I remembered I was poisoned.I tried to sense my wolf, but he was only whimpering in pain, trying to recover from the poison, just like me.I managed to look around my silent environment despite the heavy pains in my body. I noticed that I was in the pack's hospital, Louis was sitting by my bedside."You are awake." He said with a smile when he noticed my movements and stood up quickly."Where is that girl who had poisoned me? I hope you did not let her escape?" I asked, ignoring his excitement on seeing that I was awake. He should not expect me to die just like that, did he?I had seen the kind of speed and guts she possessed when I had chased her, not that I did not completely trust my men, but I just wanted to make sure."No alpha Moses, there is no way she wo
MOSESI got to the dungeon and ran in quickly, I saw the body of the she-wolf lying down lifelessly on the ground. I turned to look at Louis who had the same shocked expression on his face as me, then I bent down to have a close look at the body, just then Luxian came into the dungeon."You sent me alpha…" His words were left hanging in his mouth when he saw the dead girl on the ground."What happened here?" He asked with the same surprised expression on his face."Exactly why I sent for you, I was told she committed suicide." We both bent down to examine her body and then I noticed that there was blood coming out of her mouth, exactly what had almost happened to me earlier.After taking a close look at her body, I noticed there was something in her mouth."This is belladonna leaf," Luxian said at almost the same time that I realized what the leaf was."She must have used the same poison she had used on me to commit suicide," I said in a low tone.What could she be up to? Why did she
MATILDA'S POV Seeing him giving such orders that I should be treated like a common slave made my heart churn, but it did not surprise me anymore as I was already aware of the kind of ruthless person he was. And here I was getting worried sick because I heard he was poisoned, but he did not mind treating me badly. As I was dragged away by the guards, followed by the head maid, I kept turning back to look at the face of the man who had once treated me with so much love and respect.I was dragged until we got to the kitchen."Here." The head maid said and I was pushed to the ground roughly by the guards. I gasped when my body hit the ground because my elbow slightly brushed the ground thereby causing a bruise."You should also ask me to get you a bed and a pillow so that you would be able to sleep more comfortably." The head maid suddenly said sarcastically with a smile on her face."Huh?" I asked, looking up at her with wide eyes."Did you come here to work or sleep? Why are you lying
MOSES'S POV I stood there and watched as the guards dragged Matilda away from my presence on my command, at first I did not feel any iota of pity for her.Until when I was about to go inside then I heard my wolf yelling at me."Are you happy now? Why would you even give such an order? Treating her like a maid? I hope you eventually regret treating her like that.""Oh! Shut up, Bax." I said to him in a low voice."I should shut up? Of course, I will, but when you regret all your actions, I will be the one to shut you up then." He answered with a smirk.I ignored the different feeling I started to have after Bax scolded me and went ahead to go into the house, but I was restless, I kept pacing around the room. Why was I getting worried because of her?After a while of restlessness, I decided to go to the kitchen to see how she was being treated by the head maid. I wanted to know how much she was getting punished even though I was the one who had instructed it. While I took gentle steps
MATILDA'S POV Eva and I silently walked back to the slave's quarters with my arms wrapped securely around my body. I was scared that Alpha Moses would find out about my wolf soon or later. What would have happened if Eva and Louis didn't show up that time? Was he going to be disappointed or happy that I wasn't wolfless anymore?"Were you about to get punished before I arrived?" Eva asked me as we walked together, that was actually the first time she spoke after we left alpha Moses's presence.I shook my head because I was not able to tell her what was about to happen to me before Eva arrived.I felt goosebumps all over my body and my nipples became hard but the feeling was something I could not explain. Why was I feeling this way?I thought probably it was still a result of the fear I felt when I was in Alpha Moses' presence earlier."Does our mate hate us?" Sapphire suddenly asked for the first time that night and my heart tingled, then rolled my eyes at the question.I hoped she
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
