"What? A werewolf? How do you know?"Scarlett sighed. "He has a scent. I'm sure he already knows what I am.""You can tell from the way he smells? When he passed us, all I could smell was a man's perfume.""Only werewolves possess this kind of power. Avery, we can recognize when someone is similar to us.""I'm so happy you're finally accepting your new shape."Scarlett ignored what she said and looked over at the entrance. She folded her arms across her chest. "Now, what exactly is he doing here?" That is what she has to find out. Why would a werewolf who has a powerful aura come to a human school? "Let's go. Make sure you guys avoid him."Avery and Cornelia left for class after getting ready for the first period. Scarlett's nose twitched as she walked to her locker to retrieve some textbooks. She was aware that the new boy was close by. She turned her head to look in the opposite direction, where she saw him placing his bag in the locker. She turned away from him as soon as he turned
When a message from October appeared on Scarlett's phone, she sighed. She received the address of the therapist. Scarlett looked up at her friends. "This is my cue. I've got to go. I can't let her take the credit card from me.""We understand. Remember to text by six," said Avery. As they waved goodbye to Scarlett, she encircled Cornelia in her arms. Scarlett got in her car and sped off.Scarlett remembered when the break was over. She went back to class after being summoned by Luke. He had communicated with her via the mindlink. She didn't know why she went, but she wanted to hear what he had to say.There were only her and Luke in the class when she arrived. She rolled her eyes and popped up the question, her arms folded across her chest. "Did Simon send you here?""Simon?" Luke laughed."Yes. You do know him. He is the…""Alpha of the Bright Moon Wolf Pack." When he completed, Scarlett focused on him. "I do know him. He is very popular among packs." She slowly nodded her head. "But
Dr. Charlotte stopped Scarlett when she rose to her feet. "You are right. This is your therapy session. Please sit." Scarlett obeyed and looked at her. "So tell me, how did these traumas from your childhood make you feel?""Angry." Scarlett said. "I wish my mother had been there for me when I needed her. I had no idea what she was going through, but if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't have given up on my kids.""So, you feel angry?""Yes. I do.""Hmm." Dr. Charlotte nodded. She wrote a few words and looked up at Scarlett. "Did these childhood traumas give you the desire to self harm?""Self harm? You mean to hurt myself physically?"Dr. Charlotte nodded. "Yes. Mentally as well. Have you ever considered harming yourself as a result of this?"Scarlett took a moment to think before turning to face Dr. Charlotte. "I haven't considered physically harming myself. I mean, why should I? But lately, I've been using drugs, drinking, and smoking weed. I use this to escape my problems.""Is this
Staying in the countryside throughout his life, Luke was nothing more than a boy who was saved during the cold winter by Abel, the leader of the rogues. The rogues saw him as a weird wolf with white eyes because they'd never seen a werewolf with those types of eyes before.Luke, who felt obligated to Abel as he grew older, later became a war missionary. Along the way, he discovered his true self.A Zeta werewolf. 10x more powerful than alpha.The goal of going rogue and leaving his past behind was to grow stronger and return to retaliation against those who had wronged him. The rogues couldn't understand how he could be so strong considering he had no idea where he came from. Maybe the offspring of a formidable wolf? They'd wondered. His wolf was black and had white eyes. Unquestionably unique and rare compared to what they were accustomed to seeing.Luke lied when he said to Abel that he doesn't remember much about his upbringing or parents. He thought back, and the more he thought b
"I have no recollections," Luke said."It is okay. Take your time. You are safe here."Luke gave him a quick glance. "How do I repay you for saving me back there?" He asked."Just mature into a fine, strong man. I can feel that you will be great one day. You should pay me back when that time comes."Luke would never forget Abel's generosity to him. He'd wondered how rogues can be so united unlike packs. He made a promise to himself that he would exact revenge on the so-called family member who would gain from his passing.He smiled at Abel as he walked into the house. "I met her.""Luna of the Bright Moon Wolf Pack?"Luke gave a nod. "Yes."When he set his eyes on Scarlett for the first time at school today, he wanted her for himself. Wanting to hurt Simon and his family has always been his goal. He won't stop until he ruins them the same way they had ruined him."She also doesn't know who I am. She'd smelled my aura when I told her lies about being an Omega. But no matter how hard
Pulling the car into the garage, October turned off the engine. It had been a long day for her. Attending the meeting with the councils and making sure she stayed there until they were done which took close to 7 hours.She sighed as she reached for her bag that was placed on the passenger seat. Being a rank 3, you get to be in charge of weapons and home was the last place October wanted weapons to be. She could risk meeting her kids to know about the job the family does.She closed the door behind her and checked the time. It was 10.00 pm on dot and just as she had expected, Scarlett was already in bed.October entered her room, closing the don't behind her as she inspected her daughter properly. "It was a hard day, ehn? Having to open up to someone who isn't your father," she said with a sad face. She breathed in. October had called Dr. Charlotte that evening to ask if Scarlett showed up. She didn't expect she would but maybe that card meant a lot to her more than just money being in
Simon drew the string of the bow he was holding further. Narrowing his eyes, he immediately released the arrow and it went straight into the archery target.The bow and arrow were both made of wood. No silver or metal was used to make this weapon. This piece of weapon was used for war when rogues came to the pack to attack.Since his childhood days, Simon had been mastering how to perfectly hit the bullseye with his father but now that he is all grown up, he knew how well it worked and how well he could target something and it would meet its target."Yeah! That's the bullseye!" he yelled in joy as he passed the bow to Mace who was standing next to him. He turned to face Mace. "Do that if it is easy."Mace took the bow from him and reached for an arrow behind him. "What will I get if I hit the same spot you hit?""Well, name anything and this alpha shall give you. But if you miss it, I will also ask something of you.""Deal!" Mace set the arrow properly and took his stand. Of course, h
Regarding what Simon had said to him earlier, Mace sighed repeatedly. He was perplexed as to why he had accepted the wager. He groaned. Isn't it Simon's responsibility to bring his luna to the pack? He picked up his phone and called Lisa, but she didn't pick up. This was the first time, which made Mace wonder if she was busy or had fallen out of love with him. In the past, if he had called, she would have answered and been willing to talk to him despite her busy schedule.He put the arrows back in their original positions. As he was leaving the weapon room, Cypher was standing outside. His back was resting on the wall. Cypher turned to him. "We need to talk."Mace was shocked because he and his brother doesn't do talks. Only if it is about the wellbeing of the pack or weapons. Mace swung around to face him. "What is this about?""Join me, please." Mace accompanied Cypher as he entered the weapon room. Both of them sat down. Cypher turned to him. "This is about the wellbeing of the alp
"Simon. You can't die." She set him on the ground. "I know you're hearing me, and you can't die. I will save you. Okay? I will heal you." She held his hand and looked up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she is too late. Scarlett began to cry, but abruptly stopped when she remembered something. She gasped. "The red water." She began to laugh. "Simon, the red water will save you." She stood up and attempted to pick him up again, but he was quite heavy. Scarlett dragged him instead, and as she walked further, the light of a car flashing in her face caused her to come to a halt."Scarlett." October dashed up to her. "Scarlett.""Mom, Mom, Mom." Scarlett left Simon and hugged October. "If I don't save him, he'll die.""You will then save him." Belly said as she ran up to her.Cornelia, Avery, and Mia rushed to her, and Scarlett told everyone her plan of using the holy water on him to get rid of the wolfsbane in his heart. They helped Simon into th
The burial rights for Mace and the rest of the deceased werewolves were performed the moment the moon surfaced over the clouds. Simon poured himself a cup of whiskey and drank it before pouring it over the fire to put it out. Scarlett locked her gaze on him, smiling with the reassurance that she would be there for him whenever he needed it.Simon was curious about Adolpha and Anton's whereabouts. They never showed up for anything. He sighed. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.""I understand how you feel, Simon. I completely do. Good job in completing this ritual."Simon turned to the pack. "I appreciate everyone's presence. It means a lot that we're all here for our brothers and sisters who died in the fight. We will only go forward from now..." Following a gunshot, a scream was heard, cutting Simon off. He fixed his gaze on Scarlett. "Was that a...""Gunshot," Scarlett finished. "The hunters." She took a look around and could hear murmurs. "Everyone relax," she said."Cyph
"Tonight is a full moon, Father. When do you decide to launch an attack on the territory?" Augusta inquired as they both entered the room filled with weapons.Philip let out a groan. "I can't believe my own family has lied to me.""I warned you that marrying October to Edward was a bad idea. You didn't listen."Philip reached for a rifle. He positioned it and displayed it as if he were shooting something. As he lowered the assault rifle, he made a low groan with a smirk on his face. "We're going to attack tonight, Augusta. Shoot any werewolves you come across.""And what do we do when we find Scarlett? I doubt you mean to hurt your own granddaughter.""Don't hurt her. Just make sure she is tamed. I'll consider her family and lock her up in a lab somewhere in Massachusetts.""She is part of our family, father. She deserves to be treated as such.""She's no longer a member of my family. I'll simply refrain from killing her because Edward, my son, was her father. Ever since the venom bec
Scarlett let out a gasp as she dashed through the woods. When she heard her grandfather's angry words, it came along with the realisation that he knows who she is. But how did he discover this? Scarlett's only thought as she ran in the cold night and almost full moonlight was to go to the territory to meet Mace and stay there for the time being for safety. She tried to catch her breath and inhaled deeply, but suddenly covered her nose when she smelled something bad.Rogues.Scarlett entered through the gate, but there were no guards stationed at the entrance. She took a look around and noticed how dry everything was. Where has everyone gone? She pondered. The packhouse was her first stop. She could smell blood when she arrived, and it was as desolate as a desert. She attempted to mindlink Mace, but it did not work. Scarlett sighed as she approached Simon's mansion and smelled the scent of werewolves.Simon must have kept them all in his house for their own safety. Speaking of which, s
Adolpha could now see the large mansion. She approached it and came to a halt. She took a deep breath as she stared down at the business card that had been handed to her an hour and a half ago. For her brother, she was willing to do anything. When she heard the sound of the door opening and saw Augusta, she raised her head."You are early." Augusta smirked."Where is my brother?""Slow down. Come inside. We'll let you see your brother if you tell us how to get into werewolf territory.""I'm not sure what kind of game you're playing. You wanted the Alpha. Don't you?" Augusta nodded. "Then why are you so desperate to enter my territory?""Just come along. We'll discuss it over biscuits and tea." Augusta took the lead. Adolpha came to a halt as she approached the entrance. "Oh. Wolfsbane." Augusta swept it away with a broom. She pushed open the door, making room for Adolpha to enter.Adolpha took a deep breath as she walked deeper into the mansion. The only thing she could smell were hum
"There are far too many of them, Simon." As he struck down one of the rogues, Mace said. They'd been fighting for over seven hours, and it seemed like the rogues were never going to stop. The more they kill, the more rogues there are."We have to keep fighting, Mace. We can't give up now." Simon said as the two of them backed up against each other, striking down the oncoming werewolf. The wolves surrounded Mace and Simon, staring into each other's eyes and growling angrily. "If you get tired, tell your wolf to switch places with you." Simon added.Simon's attention was drawn to the sound of rattled bones coming from outside the surrounding werewolves. Simon then heard howling and pawed the ground nervously. The scent of this particular wolf made Devil shiver. "What is the problem?" Simon asked Devil."The odour from Scarlett's school. Looks like he is here."Simon began to recognise that smell. "You are right. It is really strong. Are you telling me that I have an enemy of this kind t
"What exactly do you mean, Cypher?" Simon asked."They had the odour of rogues. There are far too many of them.""That is not possible. Even rogues are barred from entering this territory." Simon said. "But if they did, then I shall get rid of them. Mindlink the remaining warriors and have them transport everyone from the pack house to the mansion. This location should keep them safe." Simon moved his gaze to Mace. "I think we have somewhere to be, Gamma. Scarlett's situation can be discussed later.""I find it hard to believe that they were able to come in here. That is something impossible.""If you ask me, I believe someone on the inside tipped off this place." Simon reached for his clothes and put them on."And who do you believe it is?""I'm not sure, but I just want to get rid of them so I can go on with my party. Come on." Simon said as they exited his room. Simon was shocked to see the living room in such a disorganised state upon entering. He shrugged and grabbed a bra he had
"Please don't do this. Simon, Simon, Simon." Scarlett's voice began to fade, and instantly, she was jolted awake. She took a look around and noticed how familiar the room was. A sigh escaped her lips. "Great. He brought me back home." Scarlett rolled onto her back, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. She exhaled deeply before removing the bed sheet that had been covering her legs.Scarlett sat up and looked at the time. When she walked to her closet, her door opened. Avery and Cornelia dashed in, already dressed in their uniforms. "Good morning, Scarlett."Scarlett was taken aback when she saw both of them. "Why are you…"Cornelia cuts her off. "Dressed in school uniforms?" She chuckled. "School, Scarlett. Have you forgotten?""I believe she has." Avery walked over to Scarlett's bed and sat down. She smiled as she looked up at Scarlett. "She is married now, Cornelia. She believes she is no longer required to attend school."Of course! Her friends have no idea what happened between her and
Scarlett hummed softly as she gently washed her body with rose-scented water. The thought of Simon kissing her a few hours earlier was so hard to get out of her brain. Scarlett chuckled softly as she left the water. She grabbed her robe and exited the bathroom.The room was exactly as she had left it. Simon hadn't returned yet. Scarlett decided to go look for him in her robe. They weren't able to spend the night together on the night of her wedding, but they would this time. She looked through the library and the office, but he wasn't there. If he had gone to bring the item he had mentioned to her, it had to be in his old room.She stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and placed a knock on it. "Simon. Are you in there?" There was no response. Scarlett knocked once more. "Simon?" When there wasn't any response, she placed her hand on the door knob and gently opened the door. She peered in and saw Simon sitting sadly on the chair. His thoughts were elsewhere.Scarlett flung o
