Raphael Stars...I rolled around in bed, trying to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. Like always, sleep was not going to come.Each night I come to bed, I'd struggle to sleep, even after I'd moved rooms.A few years back, I was still sleeping in that bed, in the room next to the nursery. The room was filled with too may memories that I could never get a decent sleep.When father suggested that I move to another room so I could get better sleep, I did just that. But it never worked.My mind would constantly travel to the nursery I was building and to the bedroom right beside it.They never left my mind. Even after ten years, they keep visiting me at night.Letting out a heavy sigh, I rolled to my back and stared up at the ceiling.My head was throbbing and my body was exhausted but I still couldn't sleep. It was as if my mind was too scared to show me images of what I'd lost again.I let out another sigh I could count sheep but that would just make my wolf hungry. A h
Mina Wolf...I let out a soft groan as I rolled to my side.My entire body was stiff and my wrist burned a bit. But I was not in an unimaginable pain as I was a while ago.I moved my hands a bit, thinking if I move too much, then the silver cuffs would burn more. But I didn't feel a new burn, nor did I hear the chains groan with my movement.Pealing my eyes open, I looked around and realized that I was no longer outside, chained to the two silver poles. Instead, I was back in my cell and there was a thick blanket around me.Squinting my eyes with confusion, I pushed myself up to a sitting position and looked down at my wrists.The place where the silver cuff had been burning were bandaged and there were small blood stains on them.But they didn't hurt as much. I looked up at the small window and realized that it was already morning. Last night, after I'd went through by far the worst pain in my entire life, I'd laid on the ground motionless, refusing to believe what had trul
I stood at the corner of the Kitchen and silently watched as the omegas finished plating the food for breakfast. They were rushing around the kitchen to serve breakfast in time.After I'd thrown the trash out, Megan had told me to stand by the corner, like a freaking child, and they carried on with their work.I was more than happy to be ignored. Attention that comes from anyone in this pack is not a good attention.Beatrice popped her head through the cracked door and she looked at the girls."The Alpha is at the table. Start serving." She ordered before she disappeared again.Each girl took two plates out and came back to take the rest.My help was not needed and even if it was, I would rather have them boil me in to lunch than go serve Raphael his breakfast.Once all the food was out, the omegas returned and started cleaning the kitchen.While they're preparing a meal, they managed to make a big mess. They piled the dishes they used to make breakfast near the sink and carried on wi
My bare feet carried me through the woods.My hair flew backwards, following the blow of the strong wind. I ran as fast as I could, constantly looking around to see if anyone was following me. There was no one behind me.Tears of joy were blurring my eyes but I quickly wiped them with the back of my hands. I didn't dare stop running for a second, not even when my right foot was begging me to stop.The air felt fresher out here in the woods, it smelled like freedom.I wanted to stop and catch my breath for a second. But any minute now, someone might notice that I was gone or Okla might change her mind and tell Beatrice that I ran away. Which was why I couldn't risk a rest and get caught.No matter how much I wanted to keep going, my pace was slowing down.I was sure that I was far away from the main pack house but I don't know how wide the Blue Moon pack is, so there was still risk of me being at the very center of the territory.My breath grew short, coming out in a huff after each
Raphael Stars...I stared down at Haden's daughter with confusion.Her small hands were clenching her collar and a soft whimper would once in a while leave her slightly parted lips.I should have left her be when I saw her running towards the rouge territory. That would have been a much better way of ending this. I happened to be in the garden that was behind the main pack house when I'd seen her stepping towards the forest.I first followed her because there was no way I was going to let her leave. I'd watched her going deeper and deeper in to their territory and I couldn't do it. I couldn't leave her to them.If the rouges had found her, death would have been the last thing they would have done to her. No. They would make her wish and beg for death.I kept her tucked in my arms as I continued on walking towards my pack. I picked up my pace. The quicker I can leave this territory, the better it would be.The second I stepped foot in my territory
Mina Wolf...I woke up with a start and looked around my suran unexpected sigh of relief when I realized that I was in my cell. I looked over to the door of the cell and the bars didn't moke me this time.I was glad to see the bars. Because it meant that they kept the outside away.I might be the captive here but in the cell, I was safe from anyone outside of the bars.What happened in the woods slowly came to me and my pulse sped up at the memory of Raphael tearing the three rouges as if they were nothing more than stuffed toys.Then, I remembered the pain, one that was caused by Mika.I still find it hard to believe that Mika would cheat on me with another woman. It's only been a month since we found out that we are mates and only a few days since I was kidnapped by the enemy pack. Yet, he still did this to me.My heart ached at the memory of him. If I ever get a chance to see him again, will I be able to forgive him?I probably would forgive him.He's s
Raphael Stars...I looked down at the bloody mess left at boarder of the woods behind the main pack house.Anger rushed through me at the sight of one of my warriors brutally murdered."Who do you think did this?" Silver asked, looking better than I thought he would be after what had happened with Luca last night."Isn't it obvious?" Maxwell replied. "It's clearly payback from Alpha Landor."Crossing my arms across my chest, I roamed my eyes through the woods to see if there were anymore rouges around here.If it were any other day, there would have been a few running around in their wolf forms, hunting small animals and ignoring our existence.But now, I couldn't hear a thing.There were no paws drumming against the ground, no pants or growls of wolves and certainly no other hunting movements.The rouges were gone and it was obvious that the rouge Alpha Landor had pulled them back before he attacked one of my men and butchered him like a pig and left him for me to find.Th
Mina Wolf...I glanced up at the small window at the top corner of the cell and saw that it was close to sun down.Today, no one came to get me. Beatrice didn't show up like she always does to come get me so I could assist the omegas with their works. I guess it was because I tried to run away and they didn't want to risk it again. I get it.Pulling the blanket up to my chin, I wrapped it around myself and looked out of the cell through the bars of the door.Last night, after Beta Silver had brought me the best meal I've had since I was kidnapped before he left, I had tried to go back to sleep but it wasn't easy. I'd struggled to go to sleep and when I had finally succeeded on falling asleep, I was woken up with that horrible pain once more.Mika was really not stopping himself from hurting me. And the rest of the night, I was left to drown in my own dispair, tears and pain.When the pain finally stopped, I was left on the ground a whimpering mess and
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
