"I hate you. You and your mother have always been a pain in the neck and I'm grateful to the moon goddess for punishing you like this." My palms curled and my teeth gritted as those words echoed in my head. It burned like hell and more than ever, I hated myself saying those words. I stared outside through the window of my office but all I could see was the pain that reflected in my son's eyes. I betrayed him, I humiliated him, I hurt him, there was no way he was going to forgive me. I heaved a deep sigh, if only there was another way, I would have treated him and his mother better. But sadly, this was my fate, my burden, my secret to bear; that I didn't hate Iris and Aaron but I loved them greatly.

The door to my office creaked open and Mariah trudged inside. I turned away from the window only to be welcomed by her smile. I feigned a smile too while I returned to my swivel chair before the desk.

"Isn't it a good time to be alive..." She chirped as she approached me. "Today, our son is

    How did my life get to this extent? How did my world collapse in a blink of an eye? I asked myself as I stared at my mother's grave, teary eyed. One moment I was knocked unconscious, locked in the dungeons and the next moment, my mother was dead. It felt so unreal. My palms curled into a fist as they trembled, more than ever I felt like punching the walls till I lost the feeling in my hands. I looked around to see people dressed in white as the custom demanded in our Pack, crying but somehow I felt hatred towards them. I felt they weren't real.My gaze returned to her grave and I still couldn't believe it. The woman I loved dearly, the woman who stood by me regardless of the monsters that surrounded me was gone in an instant. The last memory I had of her was the coronation night. The anger, pain and agony she had been in. And the most hurtful part was, I wasn't there. I wasn't there to hear her last words, my last memory of her was a painful one all because of one person. Levi.****"

    "Look at you!" My mother yelled as she stormed into my room. Her frown alone was enough to tell how displeased she was about whatever she wanted to rant about.I sat up on my king size bed thinking while the two ladies by my side stopped their antics."What's wrong mother?" I asked, secretly annoyed she ruined my fun."Everything!"I rewarded her with a skeptical look, she was definitely furious about something serious."Ladies, excuse us." I uttered."Yes Alpha." They responded softly while mother and I watched as they dressed back up before leaving."Ever since I became Alpha, you've been getting more furious lately. What is it this time mother?" I asked her as the door clicked shut behind them.She walked towards the edge of my bed in a furious manner."Look at you, all you've been doing is flirting around with the ladies and doing nothing while I'm doing all the work!""I just became Alpha last night for crying out loud mom!" I defended sharply."And so? You think your position is

    My eyes itched badly as tears freely dropped from my eyes. The last time I cried like this was twenty one years ago, when my pack was attacked by another Pack. But this time, my pain was probably worse. It was eating me inside out, burning my insides without mercy, my heart thumped in pain with each second that came it felt like I was losing it. At the same time, I couldn’t take my eyes off Helene’s bed. I inhaled deeply and I felt anger and regret strike hard in me. This place used to be Helene’s room. The woman I loved, the woman that I had deeply offended all to protect my secret. My legs moved on impulse towards her bed. I sat beside it and my left hand gently swayed across the bed sheets. The memories we had together began to flood my mind and as much as I tried to stop it, our last encounter together vividly played before me. “Helene!!” I yelled my lungs out as I dashed to the scene only to find my Levi’s hand stuck in my wife’s chest. The look of her life fading out before me

    There was only one way to save my mate from his monstrous Pack. And that was returning to Red Moon Pack, my Pack. Although we were nothing compared to Silver Clawers, it was only worth the shot.I exhaled deeply as I arrived in front of the Pack House twin doors. It's been two days since I left home and no doubt my father was going to be worried sick. I inhaled deeply before pushing the twin doors open and there he was seated on one of the white couches with a worried countenance. The moment his eyes fell on me,"Diana!" He yelled, he hugged me immediately as he approached me with his Werewolf speed. I almost felt the last of the air in my lungs leave my body on impact."What happened to you? I called your number several times but you wouldn't pick up. Ana tried to assure me but I knew something was up! Tell me everything!" He chirped while his embrace grew tighter.I simply closed my eyes with a tiny smile gracing my lips. Staying in his warm embrace was one of the things I needed ri

    The winds were surprisingly stormy today despite the morning starting on a gentle note. The trees danced side by side in a heavy manner as if they were going to collapse on each other anytime soon. I pushed through the branches, covering my face with my left arm while my other hand clenched to my backpack tightly. The more I pressed further, the more the winds pushed me back. It was like the winds didn't want me to move anywhere but that wasn't possible. Staying in this place would only expose me to all sorts of dangers. If there was one thing I had learned, journeying to the Forbidden lands has certainly been dangerous and a part of me was beginning to lose hope I would be able to achieve this journey.I grunted as the winds pressured me further. My legs were buried in the sands that I could barely lift them up. I raised my left arm a bit just to see if there was any shelter around. I gasped as I noticed a small building meters before me. It was certainly hazy but I was certain my ey

    "Could you please drive faster." I lamented to the chauffeur from my back seat."Yes ma'am." He replied courteously as he increased his pace."Diana," my father called my name with a gentle smile. "Be patient, we'll soon get to Silver Clawers anyways."I exhaled deeply and shot him a smile that didn't live to see the next second. How was I supposed to be calm when my mate was busy facing torture with every second that came."I understand how you feel but I assure you that Aaron will be released today." He asserted with so much confidence blooming in his tone. But it wasn't enough to calm the unrest burning in me. He intertwined his right fingers with my left, assuring me once more that everything was going to be fine. I smiled once again, I could have been hopeful but considering how Levi was, I doubted this negotiation was going to go very smoothly. Regardless, I was going to get my mate!And after a while, we finally arrived at the gigantic Pack House. I took deep breaths, trying to

    "I would choose Ice cream over Pizza anytime, any day!" Michael chattered like a bird as we pushed through the heavy winds. The moon was already about to dawn and the sound of crickets were already gracing our surroundings as we marched past twigs and trees."I mean why would anyone choose that junk over a well rounded sweet sweet chocolate ice cream..." He continued while my palms curled into a fist. This man managed to ignite an emotion in me ever since we began our journey this afternoon, anger. He had been doing nothing but yapping about stupid things and I wouldn't lie that it was beginning to irritate me to the core."Only a fool would choose that junk, don't you agree? What's your favorite flavor of Ice cream?" He asked."Would you just shut up?!" I raised my voice in anger against him."How can I when you've been quiet all through.""That's because we need to focus! We're going to the Forbidden Lands, surely there will be dangers ahead." I retorted."Well so far so good, there

    "Michael!" I yelled but only the birds around tweeted in response. "Michael!" I called again, looking around the blood trails on the leafy grounds. Something terrible must have happened to him. Perhaps he was attacked by a mysterious animal or something."Michael!" I yelled again, this time my heart was already thumping loud. As much as I hated to admit it, I was worried about him. I waited for several minutes hoping he would answer but he didn't. I stared at the tent and back at the forest. I heaved a deep sigh whilst concluding I was going to search for him. I couldn't just leave, not after these blood trails."Michael!" I called one last time and suddenly the bushes by my side twitched. I heard the sound of twigs crushing and footsteps getting louder with each second. I took a defensive stance even though my body was trembling in fear. I suddenly lost my cool and the next thing that my brain told me to do was run. Whatever was behind those bushes probably hurt Michael and consideri

    AARON “Save you from what?” I queried and she sighed as another wave of sadness gleamed in her eyes. “My father is sick and that gives the impression that our Pack is weak. Enemies are lurking around and it won’t be long before they strike,” she mumbled and my brows arched into a deeper frown. “As the only child of the Alpha, I need to find a mate to become the new Alpha of the Pack, or else, my family will lose our royal position as bearers of the Alpha title…” her voice trailed off. “I don’t have a lot of time left, Aaron, the pressure is getting worse and it won’t be long before my father and I are stripped of our positions.” “So you need me to become your mate and your Alpha,” I completed her statement for her and she gave a slight nod with eyes that beamed with uncertainty. “What is the name of your Pack again?” “Red Moon Pack.”“Your blood can heal anything, why can’t you just heal your father and he can carry on as the Alpha?” Another sigh left her breath. “We’ve tried it

    DIANA “Diana!!” That was the last thing I heard before I yielded to the darkness calling to me. My eyes faintly opened to the wooden ceilings. The room was dark and small but it was dimly illuminated by a lantern on the shelf by the corner of the room. I turned and the small bed creaked. I frowned wondering how I had gotten here in the first place. The last thing I remembered was feeding Michael my blood to save him. I thought only a few drops would have been able to save him but who knew it required more to save him from the brink of death? I sat up on the bed, inspecting the room. There was nothing in the room besides the bed and shelf. There were two scents lingering outside, Michael and Aaron.I gulped down my saliva wondering if Michael survived but that thought tousled the moment I heard footsteps coming towards the wooden door. It creaked open slowly and my breaths ceased for a split moment seeing Michael saunter into the room.“You’re awake,” his gentle tone carried relief wh

    AARON“Aaron!” Diana yelled behind me but I trotted away from her in a flash. Perhaps it was the fact that Fenris was dwelling in me, I felt it to the core that woman was my mate. The bond was even stronger than the one I ever had with my first mate. I hadn’t accepted her yet but it felt like we were destined ages ago. Yet I ran away, my legs wouldn’t stop pacing farther and farther away from her. I do not know what the moon goddess has in store for me but the last thing I ever wanted right now was a mate. If the moon goddess even cared about me in the first place I wouldn’t be in this shit hole in the first place. “Aaron!” I heard her yell behind me again and I increased my pace in the woods. No matter how stubborn she was, I would do everything in my power to never accept Diana in my life. I don’t know how much time drifted by as I ran but I had finally shaken her off my trail. A part of me was worried for her but I didn’t want to listen to those emotions. I had a lot to deal with

    "Aaron!" I cried and my mate barked at Maverick."Aaron? I-i t-thought you were Wolfless?" Maverick trembled in fear as he arose from me. I quickly shifted away from Maverick while Aaron stealthily approached him. The aura surrounding him somehow reminded me of when I met his father at the coronation ceremony."P-lease, this i-is just a misunderstanding..." Maverick stammered but Aaron lurched at him like a beast. He didn't even give Maverick the chance to transform into his werewolf form. I watched in horror as Aaron's Wolf clawed Maverick to the ground. Ripping his limb one by one with his jaw. And soon, Maverick's cries were no longer heard. The only thing left was a snarling wolf, scattered limbs and blood splattered everywhere. His Wolf focused on me, growling at me like I was his meal. There was so much bloodlust in his eyes and I wondered,Was this truly my mate? Wasn't Aaron Wolfless? How did that innocent person I once knew become this bloodthirsty?"A-aron, it's me..." I stu

    "Is he worth it?" Maverick, my father's closest guard asked as we struggled past the trees and its branches.My gaze diverted from the map in my hands to him. I frowned at him and he shrugged. This was the first time in so many days he was speaking to me about Aaron. It's been four days now and we were yet to get to the forbidden lands. Left for me, I would have preferred to face this journey alone but my father wouldn't let me. If he could have his way, he would have accompanied me personally."I mean I don't need to tell you that the forbidden land is a dangerous place. There's a high possibility we might not survive once we get there." He continued but he only made anger sprout in me."No offence but all this troubles for a Wolfless man isn't worth it.""You know, I preferred the version of you that was silent." I retorted and he heaved a light sigh."It's the obvious truth, Diana. I know how long you've been looking for a mate. You're bound to get desperate just to save your fathe

    "Aaron, wake up! Aaron! Aaron!"My eyes squinted open to the bright lights coming from the skies. Although my vision was blurry, I could see a figure above me, tapping my cheeks relentlessly. The voice was familiar but I also couldn't remember who this person was. My insides were in turmoil as if there was a storm striding inside of me. But beneath this disorderliness came pain spiralling across my body violently. I could also feel a bond, something was growing inside me, it was changing me by the seconds."Aaron! Come on man, wake up!" The voice yelled. Michael! I finally recognized him. But I was still confused, perhaps it was due to the terrible migraine raging in my head. I tried to move a muscle whilst recalling what happened. But none of my actions seemed to work, My muscles were stiff and I was basically not in control of my body."Aaron!" He called, I screamed and my body began to tremble violently from the pain that skyrocketed within me."Aaron what's wrong?!" Michael yelled

    "Aaron Harrington, I've been waiting for you."My brows arched upwards as I stared dumbfounded at the skeleton."H-how-- how do you know my name?" I dared to ask."I've known you ever since you were born. Son of Lycan Barron." His voice came out in a deep baritone that only managed to ground fear in my heart."No-- no, I must be seeing things. I must be!" I slapped my cheeks repeatedly hoping I would break free from this terrible illusion but nothing happened."You'll only be hurting yourself more. You know it yourself, ever since you came into my land you've felt my presence." He said and I stopped with my eyes twitching at it."Get out of my head." I gritted. The Skeleton laughed. "Get out!" I yelled and it growled. My breaths ceased immediately, somehow I knew if I said something wrong again, I was going to get punished. Yet my brain wouldn't stop racking up so many questions."Who are you?" My curiosity peaked so much that my lips moved on their own. "How do you know me?"The Skel

    "You're a failure!""A waste!""A pathetic son!""You failed your Pack, you failed me!""You're weak and I hate you for that!""I curse the day I knew you as my son!"My eyes opened only to see my mother a few meters before me spitting those heart wrenching words."Mom?" I toned in confusion. The entire room was dark but I could see her clearly. She was in pain, her eyes had swollen from so much tears, her gaze on me completely defined resentment."You don't deserve to call me that!" She warned and tears began to itch my eyes."I thought you were dead." I tried to approach her but she retreated further into the darkness."Death should have taken you instead." She spat back."Don't say that. Please don't." I mumbled in a shaky voice."If you hadn't failed me, If you weren't so weak, I would still be alive today."Tears trickled across my cheek as those words phased through my ears. "You're right. I failed you. I'm so sorry mom. I wish I could have done better. I wish I was there to pro
