Krimson's P.O.V 25 years ago… I remember that day vividly, the day my world turned upside down. I was just fifteen years old, a young and naive member of the Silver Moon pack, the future Alpha who never really taken the prospect of being an Alpha seriously. All because I had been spoilt by the love and care of my family and the other members of our little pack. Our small but peaceful pack had been thriving under the leadership of my father, Alpha Blake Krimson, until the ominous arrival of the Dawn Wood pack at our borders. It was a day etched into my memory, a day that marked the beginning of a nightmare. Alpha Keith, the ruthless leader of Dawn Wood, had challenged my father to a brutal battle for control of our territory. My father had been a peaceful Alpha, someone who didn't like to engage in battles, and he had known well that he would be defeated, but still, he had accepted the battle because it had been one fleeting chance to save our pack from the invad
Krimson's P.O.V 25 years ago… The world seemed to blur as her gaze met mine. It was a mesmerizing connection that transcended time and space. In that moment, my wolf, that primal, instinctual part of me, howled fiercely inside my head, telling me what I couldn't deny – that this woman, the woman that I would later on come to know as Harmona, was my mate. I was horrified, unable to reconcile the cruel Alpha's daughter with being the one destined for me. The conflicting emotions within me swirled like a tempest, and I couldn't comprehend the irony of fate. Why her? Why now? I ducked down behind the crowd, concealing myself as I grappled with the overwhelming realization. This was something I couldn't escape, an undeniable bond that transcended all logic and reason. I had escaped from all the merriment with an empty stomach that night, back to the slave quarters after leaving the clothes I had stolen back to where it had belonged. But thankfully, my drunken a
Krimson's P.O.V (Twenty five years ago) Ever since that night by the edges of the territory, as my heart began to beat for one person alone, I embarked on that arduous journey to gather allies within the Dawn Wood pack. At the time, I was nothing more than a mere boy of fifteen, devoid of any real power or position, just a slave boy like the rest of them. It was an uphill battle from the very start, as my youth and my lack of influence made it difficult for others to put their trust in me. The Dawn Wood pack was a place where hierarchies were deeply ingrained, where might often meant right, and where the concept of social status was paramount. I didn't fit into any of these categories, and that was both my greatest disadvantage and my greatest advantage. Because I possessed something that no one else could discern at the time - Alpha blood coursed through my veins. It was a well-kept secret, and I only imparted that knowledge to those I knew would never betray m
Krimson's P.O.V 25 years ago… "That slave boy…is my mate." The words hung in the air like a challenge, defying the norms of their pack's traditions. The crowd of onlookers whispered and exchanged shocked glances, knowing that this revelation could change everything. Alpha Keith's gaze bore into Harmona's, his dominance radiating from his towering form, forcing Harmona to lower her gaze. "You want to be mated to a slave boy?" He laughed, mocking the sacred bond that tied us together. "I will never allow such a union to happen as long as I live, you ill-mannered child!" Harmona's head snapped up to her father, defiance etched in her form. "I will never abandon him! He's my mate and I love him. You cannot force us apart." Alpha Keith raised his hand, slapping her across the face as she at his feet, her gown soaking the blood that still flowed out of my mother's body. "I have arranged your mating t
Lilac's P.O.V Standing on the UCSD campus, I looked around the area as several new students walked past me with huge luggage bags, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation bubbling in my chest. This was a whole new chapter in my life, and I was about to step into a world I had only ever dreamed of. The last four years, the entirety of my high school life, had been spent in a school where wolves were a majority. But now, I was entering a university where the supernatural world expanded far beyond just wolves. As I lugged my bags up the stairs of the dormitory building, I couldn't help but notice the new faces around me. There were vampires, witches, and a lot more than I could even fathom; each with their unique aura and presence. But it was when I stepped into the room I would be sharing with my new roommate that I encountered something truly unexpected. "Hey there!" A petite girl with shining golden eyes and short, pixie-cut, b
Lilac's P.O.V As we approached, I couldn't help but notice the whispered comments and sly smiles exchanged among our companions. Suddenly, I heard a wolf-whistle and my head snapped in that direction as I saw Niana grinning from ear to ear. "Oh! Such a good looking couple you two make!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together in excitement. I felt my cheeks grow hot as I listened to the murmurs of agreement from around the table. However, when I looked at Del, I saw him grin in response, basking in the attention. Like the gentleman he was, he pulled the chair out for me and helped me take my seat before he took the seat right next to me. Niana looked at me with wide eyes, before leaning close to mutter in my ears. "You chose such a catch, Lilac! I heard he's already famous among the freshmen! He's so handsome!" "It's not like that," I tried to explain to her. "I met him outside the washroom and he…helped me fix m
Lilac's P.O.V "You insolent fool!" The sound of the slap reverberated through the hallways as I watched my mother fall to the ground in pain, her cheeks red and blood gushing out of the corner of her mouth. I stood behind the pillar, my tiny form hidden behind the structure as I clutched my teddy to my chest, fear holding me in its icy grip as I saw my mother struggling to get back up from the floor. Behind my father, stood another woman, a blonde woman who was clutching the bedsheets to her chest and hiding behind my father. She had a wicked grin on her face…and was looking down at my mother in disgust as she crawled on her hands and knees. "Please…Keith…" My mother grabbed onto my father's legs with both hands, tears streaming down her face as she looked up at my father. "Don't do this…please…you're my mate! We have a child…" "You gave me a bloody daughter!" He spat at her in disgust. "What am I supposed
Lilac's P.O.V "And is it just as magnificent as they say it is? The library?" Dani sighed dreamily. "I've been watching all the pictures you sent me over and over again…they're just so…perfect…!" I laughed as she let out another dreamy sigh. I knew just how much she wanted to come to California with me once she learned I got accepted in UCSD, but unfortunately, she had applied too late and her letter didn't get accepted. We're hoping she came come next year though, because honestly…I hadn't anticipated just how much I would be missing her as soon as I reached the campus. "How's school going?" I asked her instead. "Any hot hunks you like?" "Ugh! None!" She sounded pissed. "I'd thought I'd feel something, but all I have here are the same assholes from school! And on top of that, we have no-mate Serena here as well whose new mate-detector happens to be her vagina, spread 24/7 and available to all to hottest wol
