Thoughts on this chapter, What do we have to say to Cleo? I will start first: What the fuck did you do to our dear Gus?
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.
7 years later, Astrid- 29 Zeke- 32 ASTRID. The water pushes past the boundary set for it to flow, the water touches a bit of my feet, for a minute, I push my feet into the water, feeling the salty touch against my feet. Doing this has become a way to relax for me. I take a deep breath, before wiping my hand along my flowing skirt. “Mommy!” My daughter, Leora pushes herself over to me with a frown. I smile upon seeing her. “What is it?” I asked, but my daughter's dark blue eyes stared intently at me. “It’s Leor again! He stepped on me.” My six year old daughter whines, her hands pointing over to her twin brother who sticks his tongue out in return. I sighed, my eyes growing weary. “Wasn’t Aunt Diva supposed to be watching you?” “She was, but then she was yelling on the phone.” Leora says simply. I just shake my head, keeping my laughter in check. Diva has still not changed, I watch my daughter bounce back to her brother with energy. That smile never leaves my face. As she mov
Thank you for following me throughout Astrid and Zeke’s story, they finally got their happy ever after! Though I am not sure whether to write about Leora and Hendrix’s story, they had a wild start throughout the story, if you want to hear about their story, you can do well to let me know in the comments and I will consider the possiblity of a sequel about Leor, Leora and Hendrix when they are all grown up.Please check out my other werewolf romance book, ‘Fated To Her Ruthless Alpha,’ and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Love,Rae-Rae.
LEORA.Age-16It’s been ten years since I last saw him. It’s funny how time flies so fast, one time I was just a little girl with a loving brother and a best-friend and now, I am getting ready to receive my acceptance letter into the academy.My family, especially my overprotective brother, Leor doesn’t want me searching for Hendrix; they say the past is all in the past. But, I need to see him; I need to see the ten year old boy who saved the six year old me. It’s like every time I close my eyes, I am transported back to that day, the contempt in his eyes when he looked at me was unmatched. My family killed his mother because they were trying to protect me, but every day I am secretly searching for him. I still wear the ruby necklace everywhere, anytime I rub the edges, it reminds me of him.How does he look now? How does he act? Will he still remember me? Does he still hate me? I will keep trying to search for him and when I see him, there’s countless things I want to say to him
ASTRID.I watch with widened eyes as Freya turns, but Zeke is gliding the knife into her back. She lets out a tortured scream, falling to her knees as blood gathers around her dark dress.My daughter is right here, safe with me. Hendrix yells loudly, rushing towards his mother, we all stare as he crouches to her level and cup her chin.“Mother?” He says fearfully, “Mother, you are bleeding. We have to get you to the hospital, please now. Mother, you can’t leave me.”“My sweet Hendrix, they took everything away from us. They killed me, they are the enemy, revenge my death.” She closes her eyes slowly, and Hendrix yells painfully, his hands covered in her blood.Freya is on the floor, unmoving. We did it, we killed her, and now, she won’t hurt anybody again.Slowly, Hendrix rises to his knees. “You killed her,” He mumbles darkly, “You killed my mother! I won’t let you get away with this, never.”It breaks my heart to say this, but I have to. “Arrest him.” I turn towards the guard, it’s
ZEKE.I am already barging out of the door.I have a son.I have a daughter.I have children, and I never knew about them for seven fucking years, that’s a lot of gap. I am a father, the more I say it out loud, the more it gets harder to believe. And now my daughter is missing.Preston follows behind us, and Astrid is beside me. I can’t even bring myself to look at her, but for now. I have to make sure my daughter is safe.“What’s going on in the hall?” I ask Preston as we walk hastily towards the hall.“I don’t know. A woman with dark hair is here and she wants to see you, we already moved everyone to the courtyard including Leor, though he seems very concerned. The woman is waiting for you in the hall.” Preston says.I open the door of the hall and what I see makes my mouth run dry, a woman with dark hair wearing a cocktail dress is nails deep into a man’s chest. I watch, frozen, how she sinks her nails into the person’s chest and squeezes the person’s heart. The person’s body pales
ASTRID.It’s the day. The day where vows are taken, the day that two people choose to love each other, in sickness and in everything. The day that changes everything.The pack-house is bustling with Omegas getting the wedding hall ready, Madam Yv and Gus’ mother are giving instructions for the wine and caviar. I have a feeling that they are going to get pretty drunk today, well I doubt so. This is Diva’s wedding. Everyone has been looking forward to it.Nothing is supposed to ruin the happy day except I had a dream overnight about the wedding, blood, knife stabs, running. It was so blurry to see and then I woke up, not even understanding a thing.“Mommy!” Leora’s sweet voice bounces me out of my thoughts. I look at my daughter who is now running towards me, her pink jittery dress flowing, my baby girl is the flower girl. When she reaches me, her brown hair is pinned in pigtails, her light blue eyes watch me.I am fascinated by the resemblance between her and her father, Zeke. Right, t
LOGAN.If someone told me that being with somebody could spark this much reaction out of me, I would have smacked them right in the face, because I always feel like I can generate happiness by doing lots of things that did not involve mingling with people.But, this sort of happiness...The one that hits so differently, people say love comes in tiny bits, but this love just hits me like a shockwave and now, as I look at Juniper, I know that there’s nobody I will rather spend my life with than this woman over here. “Hey, Logan?” She asks, swinging her hands that are entwined in mine. I don’t like petty things, such as holding hands, but as long as it’s Juni, I don’t really mind. We are walking hand in hand along the sea, earlier; she suggested we go for a walk just to calm ourselves down. “Yes, Juni?” I ask back and she grins, and I swear, this woman can make my heart squeeze just by smiling, she lights up my world. She brings out the sunshine in my darkness. The sky is just beginning
GUS.It’s one thing to open the door and see someone you actually know and the other to open the door to Cleo. What’s she doing here? Is the first question that comes to mind.She never comes here, so why is she here suddenly?I can’t deny the fact that my lips feel dry to the core. “Yes,” My voice comes out lamely as I stretch open the door and watch her step into the villa. I can’t deny the fact that her perfume wafts into my nostrils as she passes by.I lead her to the living room, “You can have a seat. Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea? Biscuits?”She sits down, staring around in wonder, but then her eyes soften, “I am okay, thanks.”I take a seat beside her, trying my best to create distance between us on the couch. She senses this and her face falls. I shouldn’t be doing this, letting her in the house is a red flag. If Zeke walks in right now, he will send her sprawling out, but considering the fact that I am the only here in the house, I should just hear her out.I want closure,
CLEO.Katherine stares out the window, looking dazed, whenever we come to coffee shops, she always picks the seat near the window. One time I tried asking her about it, and her reply shocked me.“Staring out the window at the numerous people passing by is just calming, you see someone walk by, but you don’t know what they are going through, I try to imagine the pain they are carrying about.” She had said.There are two mugs of coffee, barely untouched, and a plate of two grilled turkey sandwiches. Katherine has eaten a part of hers, but mine is untouched. I just don’t feel like eating, maybe because the anticipation that’s curling in the pit of my stomach is enough to make me weak.We are waiting for two more people, they are always late, I don’t know why but it just irks me when people come late.The door chimes and Katherine’s eyes bob towards the entrance, Kai walks in, he’s dressed casually in a t-shirt and sweatpants, he doesn’t bother with the greetings, he just takes the chair
ASTRID.I bite my lips, staring into his darkened blue eyes, I want this so much.“Go down on your knees, baby and take my cock into that gorgeous mouth of yours.” His command runs down my spine and I obey, going down on my knees, I unzip his trousers and take out his cock.Slowly, I slid it down my throat, until I hit the point where my eyes water, I whimper, before falling in length, licking and sucking until I am drenched.“Fuck, baby.” Zeke’s hand digs into my hair and yanks me deeper. “That feels so good,”My body pulses with need, as his groan fills the car, there’s something so powerful in having Zeke Rossi at my mercy, I increase my pace, driving him harder into my mouth, just when I am about to go deeper, he yanks my hair back, pulling me away from him.“You are going to be the end of me,” He mumbles darkly, before pushing me on the leather seat and towering above.“You should have thought of the consequences before putting this dress on tonight,” His hands move to the zipper
