2021-07-08 04:34:48Apart from the unpleasant encounter with Crimson, the trip to Ohio was magnificent. From shopping with the girls to an amazing date with my mate, everything was remarkable and amazing. I event went out with Loana; it felt good to bond with my childhood best friend after so many years.
I hadn’t gotten over what happened at the ball. Charlene was forced to apologize to me. Her eyes flickered with bitterness as she uttered the heavy words she had never said to anyone.
Although I was content with the way things had changed, it still pained me that I didn’t get to have normal parents or siblings like most people. I wished I had with my so-called sisters the same relationship that Xander had with Rowena. The Moon Goddess made it up to me though. She gave me a wonderful family and a mate who was ready to protect me against the whole world.
I was bewildered by Oriana’s behaviour. I didn’t get why she came after me and why she felt the need to tell me what she said. I

“Hi!” I grinned, taking Elena in my arms as she ran towards me while giggling. She had started walking recently and ever since then, Rowena had been going out of her mind. I picked her up in my arms and kept kissing her chubby cheeks. “I miss you,” I mumbled, holding her close to me. “And you're the first arrival,” Rowena welcomed me. “Dinah is not coming. Cayden fell sick last night and she doesn't want to leave him alone.” “That's fine. We can just plan everything and tell her what we decided to do,” I said, sitting down on the couch and taking Elena on my lap. “She likes you a lot,” she commented, watching her daughter resting her head on my chest. “I love her,” I mumbled, kissing the top of her head. “She makes me want to have children,” I laughed a little, but Rowena gave me a look of surprise. “You're thinking about having kids?” “I have been thinking about this since I returned from Peru. I want to be a mother, Rowena, but I wan

I looked at Melanie and motioned for her to stay silent and follow me. I didn’t want anybody to see this or find out about what I could do now, but I had to tell her. There was no lie in my head that could convince her that what she had just witnessed was nothing.The two of us made our way to the backyard and sat down.“care to explain?” she said, keeping her eyes on me.“After I shifted I found out that I can heal myself. I found out about that while I was locked in the cells at Crimson,” I started, looking down. “Nobody knows about this. Not even Xander. I didn’t want to tell anyone,” I continued, lifting my eyes to meet hers.“I understand if you didn’t want to tell me, but I don’t understand why you’re keeping this away from the rest.” I frowned at her words.“Why would I keep it from you but tell the others?”“Maybe because we have only know

“I think I might sleep for two days straight,” Jorah said as he parked his car in my driveway. “We can all have tomorrow off,” I told them. We worked for fourteen hours straight today. Saying that we were drained would be an understatement. I rubbed my chest as I felt a stinging sensation. “I think I will take Dinah out tomorrow. We haven’t been on a date for long,” Keith said. My baby was already planning the perfect night for me. I didn’t need to wait until tomorrow to get my reward for working my ass off at work. “By that smirk on your face, I think you’re going to get laid tonight,” Declan commented, making me chuckle. “Fuck off!” I shoved him before getting out of the car. “Xander, help me out,” I heard Ayla’s voice through the bond, grabbing my full attention that I didn’t close the door of the car. “What’s going on?” I asked, already getting worked up. I was hoping that whatever she needed help with wasn’t rela

I had been sitting here for so long or maybe not. I wasn’t sure how long I had been here. I lost track of time the moment she was taken to the OR. Jorah kept assuring me that she was going to be okay, but I was still doubtful. I was only going to be convinced of that when she would wake up. I asked them to give me the arrow after extracting it out of her body. I was going to hunt down whoever did that to her. Somebody wanted her dead and I was going to make them wish for death. Against my will and for her sake, I didn’t hunt down her family like the weak prey they were. Had it not been for the way she requested that, they would have all been in my dungeons now, but this is different. This was her life that was at stake. “She’s going to be okay, Xander. The arrow didn’t hit her heart,” Jorah tried to calm me down as I waited on one of the seats in the waiting room. It was close to her heart though. “Somebody tried to kill my mate,” I flatly spoke. “I’m g

I was exhausted and my eyelids felt heavy. I forced myself to open my eyes and when I did, I found Xander sitting on a chair that didn’t look comfortable at all. He was asleep and his hand was holding mine. Memories of last night came to my mind, causing my heartbeats to quicken. Somebody tried to kill me last night. I looked down at my chest and saw it wrapped up in bandages. Breathing wasn’t easy as there was a slight burning sensation that accompanied every breath I took. “X-Xander,” I tried to talk, but harshness cut my throat, causing me to roughly cough. The pain in my chest increased and I felt like screaming. I needed water. Xander almost jumped from his position and quickly reached for the water bottle on the table. “Here, drink.” He placed the bottle lip on my chappy lips. I took a few gulps and thankfully, the cool water calmed down the fire in my chest. “It h-hurts,” I mumbled, placing my hand on my chest. I could heal myself. Probably not

Nothing was more annoying than knowing that I had the ability to heal myself, yet I feared doing that lest somebody would be suspicious. Xander had been babying me ever since he took me home two days ago. Even when I wanted to shower, he was there to help me out. Honestly, I was thankful for the way he treated me because the least effort made me exhausted. “Do you need anything?” he asked me as he put a tray full of fruits on the coffee table in front of the couch I was lying on. Although Carla was in the house, helping us whenever we needed her, Xander still preferred to pamper me himself. “Thank you.” I flashed him a wide smile. He sat down on the couch too and put my head on his thigh. “You’ve been sitting around for two days. Don’t you have duties?” I wondered as he reached for my hand and kept playing with my fingers. “Nothing urgent and,” he bent down and pecked my lips, “can’t I pamper my baby girl?” My cheeks reddened a little when he said tha

I didn't mean to do it. I wasn't even aware of how that happened while I was asleep. Xander cleaned up my wound on the fourth night and it didn't look that close to healing, but during the night, Riona decided to put me out of my misery and heal me. Even though it was such a relief to be able to move freely and breathe without any trouble, Xander had been super suspicious and I didn’t know what I should do to make him forget about that. “This is impossible,” the doctor commented as he checked the wound. Xander was so much as shocked that he immediately took me to the clinic even though I insisted that I was fine and suffered from no pain. “I was hoping you’d give me an explanation,” Xander said, looking at the doctor for a moment, then he looked down at me. I couldn’t look him in the eye. I wanted to tell him the truth, but something was holding me back. A huge part of me acknowledged my distrust as an irrational fear that I failed to get over. He had

“We need to be alert more than we already are,” Jorah said as we walked to my car. “These attacks aren’t random.” “And they’re all related to Ayla one way or another,” I pointed out. Knowing that there were people out there who were trying to hurt my mate made me break out in cold sweat. “The warrior was targeted while he was running his investigations on her attack.” “I think she shouldn’t be left alone.” I agreed with my Beta. If she was in danger, then I had to make sure that she had people protecting her all the time. I wasn’t going to lose her after all of what happened between us. “I’ll make sure to choose the best warriors to guard her,” he told me. I loved how he always wanted to ensure her safety. Things between the two of them changed for the better; I liked the friendship they had and how he was protective over her. “I know you’re busy, but I need you to resume training her on her own for an hour or two daily. I want to strengthen her,” I r

The plane landed and it took everything in me to prevent myself from squealing like a child. I couldn't believe that I was here again. I was less than an hour away from seeing Delora. I missed her so much. FaceTiming and constantly talking weren't enough. I needed to see her. “Somebody seems ecstatic.” I could feel the grin in Xander’s voice. “I can't believe that I'm here! It's been so long since I last saw her,” I told him. I wished I could tell her what I was, so she would be able to visit me in California, but I couldn't do that. I was afraid of the way she might react. Some things were better left unsaid. The two of us got up once we were allowed to leave the plane. Delora was waiting for us at the airport, but we weren't going to her apartment. I decided to make my friend experience the lush life she never got to have. Since Xander and I were going to stay at a seven-star hotel for two weeks, I booked a room for her too. I wanted to spend as muc
The Alpha's Halo Bonus 1
By winning the battle over Crimson, I became the legal heir of being its Alpha. After all, I was Elbert’s daughter and the Luna of the pack that won the battle, not to mention that I was a member of Crimson; Elbert never declared me a rogue. According to the Charter that set the provisions for packs, if a member of a pack won in a battle against the Alpha of the said pack, then legally, the said member had the right to the Alpha position. Since Silver Moon’s victory meant my victory too, this meant that I was the new Alpha of Crimson. Since I had become the Alpha of Crimson, everything related to the pack was under my administration, but I demanded a meeting with our friends who were also our advisors— Oriana and Dorin, her mate, were also among the advisors. There was something important I wanted to talk to them about. “It doesn’t make sense if I am a Luna here and an Alpha there. This is too confusing and pointless,” I spoke, earning their attention. The wedding wa
The Alpha's Halo Epilogue
Xander fulfilled his promise. He gave me my dream wedding, just like how I imagined it in my head. As always, he did whatever he could to make my dreams come true. Excitement filled me as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The white gown I was wearing was everything I could wish for in a wedding dress. The top was heart-shaped and the sleeves were long, glittery, and sheer. Tiny stars of a lighter shade than the dress’s colour were scattered on the fabric, making me feel like I placed a hint of my favorite time of the day on one of the most memorable dresses I would ever wear. Melanie made sure to design the skirt of the dress as a modified A-line, knowing it was my favorite. Despite her pregnancy, she insisted on making me the dress. She gave me a flawless one. “Here you go.”Oriana placed the floral tiara on my head, making me smile. “You look gorgeous,” she beamed, gently hugging me from behind. “Thank you,” I grinned, placing my hands over hers.
The Alpha's Halo Ninety-one
The moment I walked out of the Alpha’s house, I could hear the howls and fights that filled the area. “I'm free! I'm coming!” I told my pack through the link. I followed their scents, hoping that they were really winning just like Oriana told me. If my mate or any of my family got hurt, I was going to tear Crimson into pieces. “Hurry up, Luna,” Keith replied. Relief washed over me once I heard back from any of them. Thankful for the elastic clothes I changed into, I quickly turned into my wolf form and I dashed towards my family. “Are you safe?” I had to know. Please Moon Goddess, let them all be okay. When I received no reply, I raced towards their scent. Not them. Not my family. I waited for so long to have people like them. I wasn't ready to lose any of them. My heartbeats accelerated when I reached the battlefield. There was no time to be nervous or scared. I was going to defend each mem
The Alpha's Halo Ninety
My wrists were on fire from the silver chains. I was lying down on the hard ground. I had been in this cell more than once, and each time, my blood used to run cold and I always thought I was going to die. Even though this was my first time to be chained with silver here, I wasn't afraid. I knew I was helpless and the silver was wearing me down, but I was certain help was on its way. Most of the time, they kept me sedated and I was barely given food. Oriana did her best to help me out which made me believe that she was innocent, yet part of me was still reluctant. She snuck food for me from time to time and she even stayed for hours with me, trying to keep me company even when I gave her a hard time. Neither my mate nor my family was going to leave me here. It was a matter of time. I was sure of that. I was hoping that Xander would act rationally. I didn’t hear him talk to me after the last time he did. I had been waiting for a while. I just needed to get out of here
The Alpha's Halo Eighty-nine: Xander
They had my mate and I needed to be fast. I was aware that by every minute, she was suffering one way or another. I wasn’t going to sit on my ass and feel her pain through the bond without doing anything.Almost six days passed over the last time I heard her sweet voice through the bond. I barely slept as I spent days and nights preparing my warriors for the attack. No words were sent to the council because they would do nothing but delay me.I intended to kill Oriana the moment I saw her. She betrayed Ayla even after she was forgiving enough to reconsider a relationship with her. Betrayal ran through her blood. She was a Crimson after all.“Xander, we received this almost ten minutes ago. A Crimson left it on our borders and left,” Keith told me, handing me a paper. We were all gathered at my house to put the final touches to our plan. We were going to retrieve Ayla. She was our Luna and we were ready to do anything to get her back.The

She betrayed me. I was an idiot for trusting her. I thought there was a chance for us to be actual sisters, but I was wrong. She was a Crimson. Their venomous blood ran through her veins. Giving her a second chance cost me my freedom, but I was sure that he was coming for me. The whole pack would come for me.“Ayla, you have to believe me. I swear I knew nothing about this.” Crocodile tears rushed down Oriana’s face as she stood behind the bars separating us.“There’s no need to carry on with your act, Oriana. I fell for your words and here I am in the dungeons, but I can assure you that they will come for me. Silver Moon will rattle your temporary peace,” I spat, doing my best to ignore the burning sensation of the silver manacles against my bare wrists.“I didn’t know! I swear on my daughter’s life. I never wanted to hurt you,” she whimpered, but I ignored every word that escaped her lips. “It w

Letting her meet Oriana on her own wasn’t a good choice, but she kept insisting that nothing bad would happen. I didn’t know how I believed that she would be safe. I should have sent somebody else with her. “Something bad must have happened to her! It’s been eight hours and she’s not answering her phone!” I hissed as I paced around the house. Keith was with me while Jorah and Declan were sweeping our borders with Crimson. She told me she wasn’t going to meet Oriana anywhere in their territory and they agreed to meet on a neutral land, but something didn’t feel right. She wasn’t even answering me through our mind-link. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. Without saying a word, I ran out of the house and Keith was right on my heels. Her car had GPS and it was connected to my phone and hers. I could easily track her car. I opened the GPS on my phone and drove to where it was. My demons whispered ill-thoughts in my head that I wanted to scream out

“Okay, I really don't understand where you're taking me,” I told him as I took the bottle of juice out of the plastic bag. “You know, I'm kind of your mate. You don't need to worry about me killing you.” He chuckled. I removed the cap and gave it to him. “I know!” I exclaimed, laughing a little. “I just want to know where we're going.” “You'll find out in two hours or less,” he told me. “Fine.” I playfully rolled my eyes. Loana left a couple of days ago and yesterday, after returning from the airport, Xander surprised me and told me I needed to pack. I thought we would be going on a business trip, but it turned out to be a four-day getaway. Being the usual pain in the ass he was, he refused to tell me where he'd be taking me and no matter how many times or what I did to bribe him, he didn't give in. To give him some credit, he did tell me that we wouldn't be leaving the states. I reached for the AUX and connected it with my phone, deciding to
