*****Alpha Cain's POV*****“Diane! Diane!”I called out to her, but she wouldn't budge. I became confused and blamed myself and my wolf.“Cam, what have you done!” I yelled at my wolf.“She's our mate!”“She wasn't. You just marked her and made her our mate!” I yelled at him.“No, Cain, she's our mate!” I instantly swept my wolf off my mind. This can't be happening. I know I never should have marked her without any prior notice, but I don't understand why she isn't waking up. This was all new and strange to me. Could it be because I marked the wrong mate?“Diane dear, please wake up?” I shook her rigorously but she didn't budge. This won't do. I quickly picked her up from the bed and took her to the bathtub where I immersed her in cold water, hoping that would help sober her up, but I was wrong. That didn't work either. This put me in a state of panic.What should I do now? I can't send for doctor Ariana. It is too far away from home. Neither can I send for Fox, this is surely out
*****Gina's POV*****I stared at Anna in shock. She wasn't wrong about what she said. The dream I had was about my wolf, though I didn't understand what my wolf had said. I slowly took my hand to my neck and noticed that it was true. I have been marked by Cain. Not only that, I could also feel my powers, but now, I could feel that I've become even more powerful than I felt before. “How do you feel?” Anna asked with concerned filled eyes. “I feel better. I'm afraid, I feel even better than I had felt before,” I said with a smile. I couldn't hide just how happy I was. “Now that you feel better, I think you should go see him. He needs some explanations, from what I can tell.”Gosh! I had almost forgotten about Cain and what happened. “Do you think I should tell him? I'm thinking of not talking about it.”“Until when? Gina, you can't keep shying away from this. He needs to know the truth, you know. The more you try to cover it up, the more complicated it will become for the both of yo
*****Alpha Cain's POV*****I suddenly felt a terrible pain in my heart when Diane or should I say Gina showed me the seal in her chest. It was the one my mom confirmed from Diane herself. It was almost the same. Last night, when we had sex, I never saw such a mark on her. So, it was impossible that she would have it tattooed on her skin out of the blue. “If you are the true Gina, who am I married to?”“You're married to my half sister, Diane. You've always known me to be the half sister to Diane, but in reality, she is the half sister, not me.”I covered my face with both hands. I can't bring myself to digest the truth in front of me. How did things change from what I've known it to be overnight?Just then, I raised my head up to meet her gaze.“Why didn't you tell me you were Gina? Why?”“How could you say that? Weren't you there when I got punished for saying I am the true Luna? No one believed me, but was quick to believe her.”“That was because she bears the mark. No one would ha
*******Alpha Cain's POV******Getting to the pack, I tried the best I could to control my anger. To think that I have been manipulated all these while made me feel a high pitch of disgust for Diane. That's her real name. And she dared to lie about her identity and married me. If I had been so obedient in playing my role, I would have had her mark. By then, it would have been very difficult for me to get out of the mess she created. I would have been forever in her web, languishing. Getting into the pack house, I shut my eyes and took in a deep breath. I need to control my anger at this point. No matter how mad I am at the moment, I cannot let her find out. I need to play things by ear. Fox was the first I saw the moment I walked into the pack house. “Alpha Cain, where were you all night? Didn't you see the missed calls on your phone? You got me all worried last night, thinking that you had been ambushed by the enemy.”“Seeing the worried look on Fox's expression, I realized that in
****Gina's POV****Finally revealing the truth of what happened to Cain suddenly gave me a kind of peace I couldn't describe. It seemed as if a burden had been lifted off me. Of course, it was a burden. I took a glance at Cain while he was driving me back to the Blue Moon Pack. I smiled, feeling complete. All the while, I thought I was just and content with my life. Little did I know that this was the true meaning of contentment. A feeling when I don't need to worry about a thing. Whether being discovered or afraid of, but being loved genuinely by him. The moment we arrived at the gates to the pack, Cain halted, he took a glance at me with a sad-looking expression. “Why don't you come with me now? I'm sure we can settle things once and for all.”“I would have loved to come with you, but as it stands, I would rather not give her the chance to lie her way out. I promise that the moment I'm ready, we'll go over this once and for all. I want you to trust me. Can you?”“Of course, I tru
****Alpha Cain's POV*****Fox was in great shock after I had narrated everything to him. With all the incidents that had been occurring, he was now convinced of the fact that Diane is indeed the scarlet witch and my mate. “Alpha, now that you know the truth, why don't we drag out the despicable woman in front of the pack and make her pay for all the atrocities she has committed right under our very nose?”“I also want to do that too, Fox. Trust me. But then, doing that without proof will put the pack in doubt. For this reason, I think the best thing to do for now is to put everything in place. I want my Luna back in my pack, and the only way I can do that, is to get the bitch to confess to her crimes. “Alpha Cain, you and I know she's not going to confess to her crimes that easily. To know what her mom was in on it as well is quite perplexing you know.”“I need to get this terrible mother and daughter out of my pack, but then, driving them away wouldn't do any good. I know their typ
*****Diane's POV****No, no, no. This can't be happening now. Why today of all days. What am I going to do now? I can't believe I'm about to let the opportunity of being with him finally pass me by just like that. How could this happen to me at this very moment?“Uhm, okay. I understand how you feel. I think you should have some rest now. Probably, you'll send it to me when you are feeling better, I suppose?”“Of course, I will come to you personally, love.” He stared at me for a while. At that moment, I was too scared to look in his direction. I was filled with guilt. What if he ever finds out that I had actually lied to him? Sure not, he would never find out. The moment he left my room, I rushed into the bathroom. “Arrrgh!” I screamed out loud in pain. Quickly I took off the dress I was putting on and stared at my chest, which was all flawless without the sign of a mark. That was close. What would I have done if he found out I had no mark? I shuddered in fright, mere thinking of
*****Alpha Cain's POV*****“Son, I'm so glad you wanted to have dinner with me. But why don't we invite Luna. I'm sure she will be glad to be here with us, you know.”“No, mom, I only want to talk to you.”“Son, why are you doing this? Is the Luna truly not to your liking? Is that why you don't want her around you?”“It's more complicated than what you think, mom.”“I see nothing complicated here. She's your mate and you should treat her fairly. I hate to go over this again.”“This is why I wanted to have a word with you alone. Now that I've gathered solid evidence, I think it's time to let you know about what's going on.”My mom stared at me weirdly. If only I could spare her the truth, I would have done so, but as it stands, she needs to know the most since she was the one who declared Diane as the scarlet witch. “I'm all ears. I really wish to hear what you have to say. “Mom, I know you might not believe what I'm about to say, but I want you to know that I'm not going to lie abou
***Gina's POV***I narrated the whole story to the crowd, and they all stared at me in awe. “Now let's discuss the reason there are two Lunas. The witch made a blood ritual with my face, and cloned my sister here, to have the same face as me. This way she could get into the pack and be with the Alpha and also be a spy for the enemies.”“That's not true! She's a liar!”“Uhm, excuse me to come in on this,” Fox said as he walked over to where I stood. “Though I still have no idea who the Luna is among you two, but Alpha, I've been meaning to report an issue, and since this issue ve up, I think it's best to report it now.”“What's that about, Fox?” Cain asked with a confused expression. “When you left, I noticed some strange movements about Luna. At first, she got into your office in the middle of the night, though she gave an explanation which I understood. Some nights, later, Anna also saw her leave the pack at midnight.”“Yes, Alpha. She left the pack at night and stayed out for som
****Gina's POV****The war became so hectic that everyone almost lost it, bleeding profusely, even though the people we were up against were indeed worthy opponents. We fought to our last breaths. I stood in front of the witch while I grabbed her by the throat. “You've always talked down on me even 10000 years ago and now. You tortured me and almost made me lose my child. Did you think these things I will forgive? Then you must not know me.”The witch, whose powers had been exhausted, didn't say a word. “Well, since you wouldn't speak, it means there's nothing left of you. Moreover, I would like to see what you look like, since you've always been in a mask,” I dragged the mask off her face, and there was a shrinking old lady with a decaying face. I shut my eyes instantly as I couldn't stand just how hideous she looked.“It is quite a pity that you were unable to preserve your skin. I bet every other part of your body has begun to decay. Let me guess, you started decaying the moment
***Gina's POV****I made preparations with the Alpha of the new pack I was in. “Alpha Zane, you don't really have to come with me. I can do this on my own.”“Don't say that now, Scarlet Witch. It is my honor to work with you. Please do not refuse my help.”I can't refuse him anyway. But then I have to make an important decision. And that is to either go to the witch or to my mate. I couldn't go to my mate because I didn't want him to get confused. Going to him now will only mean I'll have to prove myself. I have that much time left to prove myself to him, rather the time I have is to get rid of witch Zelda for good. She has lived for far too long. Before going on my mission, I decided to pay a visit to my son, who was with Reina. During the times I've been in training, Reina had been the one taking care of Leon. Since she still hasn't gotten a pup of her own, she takes care of Leon like he was her son. The only thing she came to me for was When he needed to be fed. “Reina, I'll be
****Alpha Cain's POV***I'm quickly asked to see Fox immediate, I need all the men that I can get. “Alpha, you sent for me.”“Fox, I require some men, the battle with our enemies will start soon. I know we've never really gone on a head - on battle with any Pack, aside from the fact that they tried attacking us twice. This time, we are not going to let them strike first because we will be the ones striking first. “This is good news, then, Alpha. I can't wait for us to finally deal with these enemies who have been trying to get us down. But Alpha, have you any idea who the traitor is among your trusted allies?”“Of course, I found the culprit. And you wouldn't believe it.”“Who among them is the real enemy?”“It's one of your most trusted Alphas.”“Shit! How on earth did he become one of the trusted allies?”“It beats me up to this very moment. I had no idea how I got deceived by him.”“Since that's the case, after mobilizing our men, what will be our next step?”“Our next step is to
****Gina's POV***I stood in front of the black Box. At this point, I was so sure about what I'm about to do.”“Gina, do you need me to be here with you?”“I took a glance at Reina and smiled at her. You don't have to Reina. I need to do this on my own. All I ask is that you take care of my boy until I'm done with what I'm about to do.”“You have nothing to worry about if that's the case. Your son is very well safe with me and will always be safe with me. You should do your thing. I promise we'll all be waiting for you patiently for your return,”With that, she shut the door, leaving me in the dark room with the box. Before standing in front of the box I trained for over a month. I cannot delay the process anymore. The mistakes I made in the past cost me dearly, I cannot make another mistake this time. Standing in front of the box, I slowly placed my hands on it and shut my eyes, but all of a sudden, I was thrown off to the wall by the immense power from the box. What was that? I s
*****Alpha Dexter's POV***I paced from one end of the room to the other. I can't imagine things going south. We all had our plans well sorted out, but how the hell did Cain find out about Dorian?As soon as Dorian walked in, I quickly walked over to meet him. “What's going on, Dorian? Do you have any idea what happened?”“Huh? I don't know what you mean. I just came back from meeting with the rogues to give them their reward as promised. “Shit! You should have informed me before going?”“Alpha Dexter, did something happen, perhaps?”“Yes, you were spotted by Alpha Cain's men. Do you know what this means? We are done for. All of our plans I'm afraid will go down the drain.”“It won't, I promise I will rectify whatever suspicion the Alpha might have on me.”“You think Cain is stupid? He already suspects you and the others. Since he was able to find out, this simply means that he must have been keeping tracks of you all. This was just the best opportunity, and you got caught in the ac
***Anna's POV***The moment I managed to pull away from the kiss, which took almost forever, I glared at him and screamed loud. “What the hell is wrong with you, Fox?”“Huh? You, of course. I kept trying to pass the message, but you weren't giving me a listening ear, so I thought this was the best way-”“Don't even start with me. What happened to confronting me and telling me whether you were attracted to me or not? What's with forcing your lips on mine, damn it!”“Let me understand this, Anna, are you perhaps mad at the kiss or mad at the fact that I didn't propose my feelings to you formally?”I darted my gaze from place to place. At this point, I don't even know why I was mad. Why was I?I took a quick glance at him only to see him watching me curiously and probably waiting for answers from me. “You know what, I'm not going to stay here one more minute to listen to your questions,” just as I placed my hands on the door knob, Fox quickly locked the door and took the keys into his
****Anna's POV***“Miss Anna, don't you think you've been coming rather frequently. I mean, I'm not the Alpha.”“What's wrong with you? You should at least hear what I have to say before you jump to conclusions, you know.”“Oh, I'm jumping to conclusions?”“Well, just in case you haven't noticed, that's what you've been doing whenever I come to you. Or do you perhaps have a thing for me?”I asked with a creased brow. Fox immediately let out a slight cough, which confused me. “What's wrong?”“Goodness! What goes into that head of yours? I mean, why would I have a thing for you in the first place?”“Well, I have no idea. Yours actions keep confusing me, so you can't blame me for thinking that way,”“Trust me, there's nothing like that,” he said while staring deep in my eyes as if he were searching for Something. I cleared my throat quickly. For some reason, his gaze made me uncomfortable. “So tell me, why are you here?”Now that he's come back to being serious, I quickly walked over
***Diane's POV****The moment it was the middle of the night, I quickly dressed up and wore a dark cloak which hid my face. I needed to get out of the pack to pass my message, and the only way I could do that was this time of the night. The witch had earlier informed me to call on her if I had anything to report to her. At this point, there's a lot she needed to know about. Starting with the fact that Alpha Cain had found a lead which I do not know about. And also the fact that Anna had come to stay with me. I knew she was going to keep a close watch on me all through the day. That's why the best time to do this was in the middle of the night. When I know she wouldn't have the time to watch over me. I passed through the place Anna had earlier shown me to be our hideout. This was better than when I had to go through the pack house. If truly I was able to get through to the witch using the hideout, that simply means this will be my new route. The other which I used was quite risky an
