GUS. The sun is starting to die down as we topple into the woods, a wave of nausea hitting me hard as I grip the reins of my horse. My heart is throbbing heavily, blood pounding through my ears. The unknown senders of those letters are witches. It was them who were robbing the bank, and them who were secretly blocking the borders. It was them who spilled the wolfsbane and silver powder at the ball that day. We have got to defeat them today, else they are going to wipe our existence away. I think of Cleo as we ride, I haven’t seen her for some days now, I just hope she’s okay, maybe she’s with her father, she has to be safe, for some time now, I have been thinking about her, yes she threatened me with my mother, but I feel like aside from that hard figure she gives out, I feel like....There’s an angel in her, I feel something with her, the same woman who took my breath away that night when she stormed into the bar, all confident and sassy. I felt something that night, a heart pound
ASTRID.I am pretty sure the cuffs are going to leave a mark on my wrists, why does it matter anyways? In a couple of hours, I am going to vanish, just like that.I think Ophelia- Juni’s mother has a little of sanity in her by leaving a window in the tiny room, though I think she’s just trying to torture me by telling me how much time is passing.The sky is dark from here. I am counting the minutes, still hoping, still praying. I still can't wrap my head around the fact of what happened today.Cleo is Juni’s sister, Ophelia is their mother and for a fact, they are witches, but why didn’t my Luna powers detect that? Oh, that was the reason I couldn’t seem to read Juni’s and Cleo’s mind, they were witches, they didn’t have it blocked. They were never werewolves.It seems funny, being stuck here while countless things are happening. I just want to do something, but no. I am cuffed here. Will he come? Has he somehow managed to hear my voice?Thinking about him brings hurt to my chest, the
ASTRID.“Why are we fighting for something so uncommon?” I say. “Look at us: What differences do we have? This is just a world filled with good and bad people, but we are none of those, we are just people forced to pick a side. We could unite again like we did five hundred years ago. We could be one.”The woman who sliced my wrist looks at me with so much hurt. “I am tired of hiding. I just want my son to be happy with food.”I look at her with joy. “Then we could be that, there’s no need for any war. Let’s stop fighting.” A splatter of rain flows down my hair as I speak, staring at the witches and werewolves, peace is what we need, not any fucking war.Some witches nod their head in agreement, and I smile, finally we can be one.“Don’t let her convince us!” Someone walks in under the darkness, her brown hair layered with edges of gray shining. She shoves a battered Madam Yv to the floor.“Madam Yv.” I say, my voice laced with emotions as I rush towards her, I kneel and hold her hand.
ZEKE.The cold sipped out of me as I straightened. “Let us all go to the pack-house.” My words feel so bitter and lonely. Staring at my best-friend, unmoving makes my body grow hardened.He was always there with and for me, he brought me beer when I was down, he made Logan and I laugh with his soft heart, and now to think that he’s gone. It hurts so fucking much.People saddle their horses, I stare at the numerous witches, Astrid is right, we all have to live as one which is why I am bringing them to the pack-house.The moment everyone’s on their horses, we begin to ride into town, the horses towing into one another. Every house is locked, everyone fast asleep, at least they don’t have to worry anymore.My wolf feels so dry, my body feels so dry, I think about Madam Yv, she should already be in the pack-house, but still, we don’t know whether she will be okay. I can’t think of her getting hurt, it would crush my soul, I would cry for real.Dawn has already begun, and the red full moon
ASTRID.“Don’t worry dear, it won’t hurt.” The nurse says, before wrapping the bandage around my wrist. We are in my room, I am sitting down facing the mirror, staring at my cooled face, the Omegas have already bathed me and dressed me up in a silk gown.“There you go, honey.” The middle aged nurse smiled. “It didn’t hurt.”Thankfully, the wounds wouldn’t leave any scars, after two more days, it might have dried up.“Your hair is beautiful.” She smiles again, I stare at the mirror, the golden spark in my eyes showing me the woman that I am. A bold and fearless woman.“Thank you,” I smiled weakly, she excused herself and left. Morning is starting to clock now, maybe around 7am? I twist the hemline of my hair, the cuts in my lips are already plastered with bandage and wool, there’s a whole bowl of medicine and herbs.Cool tea and warm snacks. I can’t say my body still hurts, it pangs as hell, but knowing that all the witches are being taken care of makes me relieved a bit. My mind goes
ZEKE.One month later,It is funny how life can deal with us. One minute, we are laughing, the next we are weeping. Sometimes there are good moments, and sometimes there are moments we wish to forget.I rest my arms on the balcony of my room, staring at the night: I have been doing this too often, I don’t know why but something about the night brings a sense of peace.The moment we moved to Spain, it didn’t take long before my pack was established, moving everybody in my pack to Spain took roughly a lot of hours, but we made it here.I had my coronation rushed even when Thane didn’t want the rushing, the pack-house was built in the form of an empire, I swear I still get lost around here, the horizons between my pack and our neighboring packs are divided by our boundary.Thane and I are building our relationship much stronger, it’s still rocky at some edges, since he doesn’t always agree with what I say, but somehow we are getting there.Though some rogues still lurk around, with the c
ASTRID.The day of one’s coronation should be the happiest day of one’s life, but why do I keep having this nagging feeling at the edge of my mind?Is it my make-up?I check the mirror again, the eyeliner is smoothened perfectly on my lashes making them look lush, the red plum lipstick smeared on my lips gives me an elegant look, if it’s not the make-up, then what is it?I check my dress, the vibrant purple off shoulder evening dress with a slim cut in the knee is etched perfectly on my body, I stare at the heart-shaped pendant, for the past one month, it has always been on me.This is wrong, we aren’t mates anymore, we aren’t even connected, but still I don’t want to put it down, I wear it every day, over every dress, without waiting. I take it on the table and strap it on my neck, watching it glow for a second.Today is my coronation, yesterday, I was crowned the Alpha, but today is the party, I am feeling excited and nervous, I am still growing my council and my whole team, Diva is
And that's a wrap! Thank you everyone for embarking with me on this heartfelt and emotional journey. Zeke and Astrid meant everything to me. But....There are still some unanswered questions, more secrets to be unveiled, and finally that promised happy-ever-after, so there's going to be a part two of The Alpha's Golden eyed Luna called: Return Of The Golden eyed Luna. I hope to see you all in the part two which is going to continue under this same book, and if you still have some questions, you can ask under the comment section, and I will answer. Till then, lovelies, let's learn to be bold as Astrid, kind as Juniper and maybe.....Just maybe, sometimes, we can be a little badass like Cleo. Love, Rae-Rae.
