Mina Wolf...I woke up after the sun went in and the soft glow of the moon was peeking through the window in to the room I was staying in.I felt a gentle touch on my lower abdomen, startling me. I let out a soft gasp and quickly sat up on the bed.The room was quite dark but with the soft glow if the moon, I could tell that someone was sitting on the edge of the bed next to me with his right hand stretched out towards my belly."I didn't mean to startle you." Raphael commented as he retreated his hand away from me.I looked out the window and then back to his shadowy figure."I slept the whole day?" I asked, more to myself that to Raphael."Pretty much. Beatrice tried to wake you up for Lunch and Dinner but you wouldn't budge." Raphael replied in a gentle voice.I felt him lean over to the night stand and flick the switch in, pouring more light in to the room.Raphael returned his eyes to me, looking at me as gentle as possible."How are you feeling, Zi?" He asked, reaching
Raphael Wolf...My Zinnia stared at me with wide eyes, frozen from the realization that I was not just a man madly in love with her. I was also her mate, her second chance mate.The soft glow of the amber in her eyes stayed for a few more seconds as she continued to stare at me and then it disappeared, her wolf slowly retreating to give Zinnia space to digest it."You're..." She whispered, looking at me with disbelief. "You're... You're my...""I'm your second chance mate, Zi." I finished for her when she seemed like she was stuck with the fee words she managed to push out of her lips."How is that possible?" She asked.Worry slowly started twisting at my heart with each passing second as she started at me.I watched in horror as tears started filling her eyes. She visibly swallowed as if she was nervous or something."Zi?" I called out, ready to fight for her, to convince her that I will treat her like a queen, love her as she is the only one that matters to me to this degre
Mina Wolf...I woke up feeling more energized that I have ever been. Despite not sleeping for four days straight, the one day I slept and the few hours I'd spent with Raphael in the woods had healed me. And maybe my wolf helped as well.The first thing I did when I woke up with Raphael's arms wrapped around me was stare at him for as long as I couldn't.I just couldn't believe that he was my mate. How bless am I?I thought what happened with Mika and being rejected would mean that I would never have that kind of natural bond with anyone ever again.I knew I loved Raphael, I just didn't know we were meant to be with each other.The second thing I did was press my hand flat against my belly. I tried to hear the little pulse Raphael talked about but I couldn't hear anything. That doesn't matter though, because I could already feel Raphael's child in side of me.The third thing I did was lift my hand and press it to my chest.I felt a soft stir the second I'd pressed my hand flat a
Raphael Stars..."That kid is not normal." Maxwell complain once again as he sat down on one of the seat opposite from my chair.His twin brother dropped himself next to him and sighed as well."No joke. Something is definitely wrong with him." Silver added with another sighed.I couldn't stop myself from chuckling."Havoc has been training with Haden for his entire life. What did you expect?" I asked, earning myself a glare frim both of my betas.It's been two months since Havoc brought Mina back to the pack. He has been training with us in the morning and when it comes to training, Havoc is a monster. Not only does he have an Alpha's blood running through his veins, he also grew up with someone as cruel as Haden. It's in his blood to train as hard as he could.The usual training is led by Silver, Maxwell and myself but since Havoc knows the training of our enemies well, he's been trying to teach the warriors how to defend themselves against the attack and how to attack back.Al
Mina Wolf...I woke up past midnight feeling extremely unease.I glanced at Raphael's side of the bed and saw that he wasn't there and the sheet was cold, meaning he was gone for a long time.I pressed my palm flat against my stomach, I wondered what was making me feel completely unease.My stomach was twisting and turning as I threw my leg over the edge of the bed and stood up.Rubbing my lower abdomen, I walked in to the bathroom to wash my face.The cold water did little to relax me. It woke me up even more but the unease stayed.I walked back to the bedroom and sat down at he edge of the bed. Twiddling my thumbs, I tried to calm myself. Maybe the unease I was feeling was because of the training. There is a lot of emotional drainage involved and the elders never like holding back. Raphael had earned me not to open up too much to them that is person. But I didn't stay even an hour before they cracked everything out of me.They sure were nosey but I couldn't complain.My ti
Raphael Stars...I silently watched as Zinnia dragged a chair closer to the bed and sat down before she reached for Havoc's hand.She held on to his hand with both of hers, tears once again filling her eyes.I hate seeing her cry.Zinnia broke down in my arms again after she saw what Havoc looked like and the dangerous state he was in.I understood that she was really hurting but the second she'd said she was going to leave the pack and take Havoc elsewhere, my heart had dropped in to my stomach.I knew that if I hadn't stopped her, she would have found a way to leave with Havoc.I couldn't bare the thought of seeing her leave again.I walked closer to Zinnia and placed my hands on both of her shoulders."Zi?" I called out but she gave no response, nor did she turn to glace at me over her shoulder.Her blood shot eyes were planted on Havoc like an eagle and I knew there was no way I could convince her to go get some rest.I tried though."You should go get some sleep, Zi. Silver
When I reached the pack hospital, Silver was standing outside, his hands rested on his hips and his face red as a tomato.When I stepped closer, I realized why he was standing outside and why he looked so uncomfortable.My little green flower was crying in the front room and the aura of grief radiating off of her was hitting everyone around her.I sucked in a deep breath and stepped in the the pack hospital.Monika was sitting at the far corner of the front room, her eyes filled with tears as she stared at Zinnia.My woman sat by the bed side of her brother, hiding her face in both of her palms. Her shoulders shook along with the soft whimpers that were escaping her lips.I walked over to her and pulled her in to my arms. The devastation she was feeling made me want to take all of her pain away from her. I was breaking in side little by little with every passing second.I didn't know how to fix it. Havoc was already attacked and unless I have a time machine to turn time back and sto
Mina wolf...My heart was drumming in my chest as I watched Havoc struggle to open his eyes."Monika!" Raphael called out so she would come and check up on Havoc and both Monika and Bear ended up coming to his call."He's waking up." Raphael commented.Bear gently pushed me aside to take a look at Havoc. He pealed Havoc's right eye open and shone light in to it. He did the same for the left eye before he turned the little pen flash light off."Havoc?" Bear called out.Havoc's eyes fluttered for a few more minutes before he finally opened them."Havoc?" Bear called out again. "Do you know where you are?" He asked.Havoc frown as he looked up at the large man looming over him and then he turned his eyes over to Raphael and I. He stared at me for a few more second before his frown beepened. "Have you been crying?" He asked, worried more about my puffy eyes than his own dangerous state.Fresh tears filled my eyes as I looked at him. I thought he would never wake up. With no knowled
Mina Wolf...I looked outside of the window, hoping to catch the sight of the moon. My heart was thundering in my chest.I reached up and pressed my hands against my chest, feeling how wild my heart was drumming.Today is the day.Dropping my hands, I looked towards the mirror.Dressed in a floor length, sleeveless green dress and my hair falling around me, I looked ready for my mating ceremony.This scenario felt quite familiar. But the difference is that the nerves I was feeling wasn't from fear, it was from excitement.It's been two years since the first time I met Raph, which was not in the best situation. And now, two years later, with our twins recently turning one, we were going to officially take each other as mates.Even though everyone knew we were mates, we wanted to keep the tradition.Havoc came to get me and the two of us made our way out of the main pack house and walked over to the large field where the ceremony will take place in the open.When we got there, I saw that
Raphael Stars...They kicked me out. They freaking kicked me out of the front room. I paced outside of the pack hospital, wanting to barge in to the front room and be by Zi's side. But angering Monika even more is probably not an option.It's been four hours and the sun was slowly coming up. Every single time Zinnia screamed, I could hear pain in her voice. Sweat was covering my entire body."Relax man, she'll be fine." Havoc commented and I couldn't stop myself from glaring at him.Havoc stood with his arm around Okla, looking all cozy when I'm about to lose my mind.Zi screamed again and I was close to marching myself back to the door when I heard a baby cry.My heart skipped a beat at the sound."Come in." Bear called out and I quickly ran in to the front room to see Monica holding a little bundle."Cut the cord." She ordered, seeming a little bit calmer than she was when she kicked me out.Bear offered me the medical scissor and I slowly cut the cord."Congratulations, Alph
We stood outside of the main pack house, about to say goodbye to my brothers.Last night had been one of the best nights of my life. Everyone had a blast, including my brothers.But now, it was time for them to go back.Their car was prepared and ready to go, I just had to say goodbye to them, which I didn't want to.Atlas looked at me, that same old robotic expression on his face. "Stay safe, Mina." He commented before he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I watched his climb in to the drivers seat of the car and close the door.I wish he would have at least given me a hug. We might not see each other again."Let him be, Mina. Atlas is allergic to his emotions." Blaze commented as he opened his arms and wrapped them around me.I hugged him back, taking in his brotherly love."Now, make sure you're safe, Okay Mina. Constantly worrying about your whereabouts is getting exhausting." He chuckled before he pulled away."You too , Havoc. Stay safe brother." He added as he gave
I woke up when someone placed their hand on my shoulder. Slowly pealing my tired eyes open, I looked at Raphael, who was smiling down at me.What a great thing to wake up to."Wake up, Zi." He whispered before I saw him leaning in to press his lips against mine and gave me a quick kiss.He pulled away a bit and offered me his hand.With a soft groan, I took his hands and he helped me sit up on the bed.The new room we were in, which was Raphael's old room before he and I started sharing a bed, was lit up.Not by actual lights but by his aura. Raphael felt light and that gloomy cloud that always followed him around no longer bothered him. I was happy to see that my Luna powers workedEven though it was exhausting, the training I had with the elders finally paid off.I looked towards the window and finally realized that it was night time. I let out a startled gasp before I returned my eyes to Raph."I slept the entire day?" I asked, to which Raphael nodded his head."You should have wok
I leaned against the head board of Raphael's old bed as Monika looked at the cut on the side of my swollen belly.Raphael sat down next to my feet, looking at the bloody X mark with a glare. I felt a bit uncomfortable with all the stares. Not Raphael's but the rest of my brothers.I glanced towards the window of the room and looked at my five brothers standing with their arms crossed over their chests and their back leaned against the window."You guys don't have to be here, you know." I commented. "You should get some rest. I'm sure you're tired.""We're fine." The reply came in a collective mumble, bringing a small smile to my lips."I know we're making you uncomfortable." Blaze smiled at me. "But it comes with the package of having too many older brothers. Deal with it." I gave him a playful glare before I looked at all of them."I'm fine, if that's what you guys are worried about." I commented, the smile still stretching my lips."We'll leave once we make sure you're okay." Atlas
Raphael walked around Haden's body and started walking over to me. He took off his shirt and wiped the blood off of his hands as much as he could before he reached for me.Sliding his hands around my waist, he slowly pulled my up to my feet and hugged me close. My knees were a bit weak so I leaned on Raphael, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him back. "Are you okay?" Raphael asked, leaning his chin against the top of my head."I'm fine." I replied, nodding my head a bit.Raphael pressed a kiss against the top of my head before he pulled away a bit and pressed his right hand in my belly.He avoided touching the X mark as he caressed my baby bump. I watched as he closed his eyes and focused on the baby, trying to listen to the heart beat.At the very moment, our baby kicked against his hand and Raphael opened his eyes to look down at the spot.It felt like our little one was telling us he was fine as well.Raphael leaned down to press his lips against mine, giving me a short ki
Mina Wolf...My head was pounding and my vision was getting blurry.The X mark my very own father carved in to the side of my stomach was burning. The second he'd pushed the blade against the side of my baby bump, I'd screamed bloody murder, begging him to stop.With what Haden did to Selin, I knew he would do it to me too.His mad laughter continued as he drew the X, saying that would be the spot he'll start at when he finally cuts my baby out of me.What a horrible and terrifying thing to hear?Everything still felt like one horrible dream. One second, Raphael was walking out of our room to get me my sandwiches. The next second, Luca was barging through the door.I didn't have enough time or speed to react when he marched over to the bed and slammed a lamp on my head.I was too busy maneuvering my body and trying to move away from him with my large belly dragging me back when he'd launched himself at me.I don't really remember much from there, other than the fact that th
I looked down at the map stretched in the dining room. We'd moved here because my study wasn't bug enough to hold all of my people who wanted to help.The bandage on my shoulder was getting soaked with blood but I couldn't care less. Monika and Bear had advised me to rest and not move my shoulder as much as possible but of course, their words were met with ignorance.Rest? No, that will not be possible, not until I find out how they managed to get in without getting detected and how they manged to get out with Zinnia."Maybe they took her to Landor's territory." One of the warriors commented but I shook my head."Landor's territory is locked in." Silver commented, looking at the map with fire in his eyes.They also took Megan and Silver was the first to speak against Monika and Bear's advise. Raphael can rest when he dies, he said. We need to get them back.Silver is right.We've been locking Landor in his pack, preventing anything and anyone from going in and out. I wasn't willing t
Raphael Stars...I walked out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a small towel.Zinnia was sitting on the bed with her back pressed against the headboard, her legs stretched out above the covers and her hands rubbing at her large belly.I couldn't stop my lips from stretching in to a soft smile as I looked at her."Barely six months and I look like I'm about to burst." Zinnia commented with a small pout.She's been saying that almost every night and every morning this past three weeks.Zinnia is right though. Her belly is growing at an alarming rate.Bear joked that she might give birth to a bear. Zi didn't think it was funny. With how small she is, it kind of scared her. Which was why she's been a bit annoyed too easily lately.But, no matter how scared she claimed to be, I always catch her caressing her baby bump with such loving and tender touch.I walked over to the bed, dropped the towel on the nightstand and sat down next to her.Reaching out, I gently caressed her belly
