Lena's POV. It's been a few minutes and she still hasn't said anything she just keeps staring at me and blinking her eyes. “Zoey, please say something, you're starting to scare me.” I tell her. “I'm sorry. I'm fine, I'm fine. It's not even possible right? Human and werewolves can't be mates, can they?” She asked me. “Actually they can, it's rare but it does happen.” I tell her. “But like you said, you might be wrong.” She tells me. “Yea, I might be.” I say. “Good, we'll just chuck up what happened to me needing to get laid. Now let's get this food on the table before it gets cold.” She says and then she carries one of the serving plates and heads straight to the dining room. I don't know whether I want to be right or wrong. For as long as I've known Zeo, he has been looking for his mate, all his friends had found theirs, even guys at the pack younger than him. But maybe this is why, his mate wasn't a wolf like him, she was human. If th
"You're two weeks pregnant Luna Selene."I arched my brows, utmostly surprised when I heard the pack doctor break the news to me. I had no idea whether to be happy or sad, but I wanted to show my happiness.A smile carved at the corners of my lips, and I rubbed the tears that brimmed the corners of my eyes clean because the news was worth it.I had been waiting to hear this for three years after I got married to my husband, Alpha Leo. My husband, Leo and I had been married for three years, but I wasn't able to conceive. I had one most important duty, and that was to bear him an heir for the future of the pack, and every day, the gossips about my inability to bear a child became so toxic. Last time, Leo silenced those rumors and gossips, but I knew that as a strong and famous Alpha, he needed an heir to carry on his legacy. The pack needed an heir to ensure his bloodline never ceases.3 years ago, on my eighteenth birthday and the first day the moon goddess would present a wolf to me,
Very early the next morning, I woke up feeling less pain from last night's incident, still unable to believe what had happened. I had no idea why Leo suddenly changed last night, and as he walked away, I could see a totally different man in him. The way he spoke to me last night made me feel like he had a deep hatred buried down there for me.I sighed deeply, and decided to think positively. We had a child to raise together now, and that was enough reason and encouragement I needed to resolve any misunderstandings between us and find out what I had done wrong.I rose to my feet and reached for my phone on the couch. Leo had blocked my line from calling him. Thinking thoroughly, I suddenly realized I had not even the slightest idea where he could be or where he had gone through. I was worried he could be in the hands of another woman, and only that would shatter me completely.Feeling so frustrated, I decided to call my best friend Zoey. She picked almost immediately after the first
I stood at my spot, transfixed at what I had just seen. I could tell she was just as surprised as I was seeing someone who looked just exactly like her and bore the same marks as her.I had always had to hide the mark on my shoulder because my parents made me believe it was an abomination, even though I was never told why I had such. I always thought I was the only one who had such a mark in the entire world, but today I was proved wrong. Again, I felt even more insulted and disgusted that Leo had cheated on me with a girl who looked like me.Zoey, clearly furious, walked up to the stage and snatched the microphone from the DJ's in order to get the attention she needed. "Zillion club doesn't support cheaters, you over there, how dare you kiss someone else's mate?"The entire venue immediately went silent, and murmurs from the crowds filled the air."Why is she here?", "Why do they look so much alike? Who's the real Selene here?"Hearing people murmur things like this, I realized that
SELENE:6 YEARS LATER:Selene:"Doctor Lena, it's time for you to go in." I heard from where I was seated and immediately rose to my feet. Zoey was with me, and so she held my hands, nodding her head and telling me that I was going to do great.I took a deep breath in and out, then I began to walk into the hall room. As I got in, I met the ladies seated and waiting for my presence. A smile appeared on my face and then I walked towards them"Good day ladies." I greeted before taking my seat. "Doctor Lena, what a wonderful surprise it is to meet you." I chuckled a bit at their words and nodded my head. The room filled with strong and resilient and single mothers like me was a place I got to pour out my heart on what I had been through throughout the years after I was rejected.They were here to hear my story, the story of how I had managed to become this successful. After I was Rejected 6 years ago, I came to the crescent pack with my best friend Zoey, and that was where life began fo
—Lena's POV— It's late, after putting the kids to bed, I decide to go downstairs for a drink before going to bed as my mind is all over the place. I go to the sitting room and see Zoey drinking a glass of whiskey, I walk to the kitchen to get my own glass and join her in the sitting room. I gulped down a glass of whiskey at a go.“hhhh….” I sighed.“What's wrong, anything the problem?” Zoey questioned. “hhhh…” I sighed again, contemplating whether or not to tell Zoey that I had received a letter from Alpha Leo of Moon Shadow pack requesting that my help is needed to help eradicate the disease that had befallen them.“I got a letter from Moon Shadow pack saying they need my help to find a cure to the disease that is affecting and killing them, I…” I didn't finish as Zoey cut me short“Wait, Moon Shadow pack? You mean the Moon shadow pack we know of? Alpha Leo?” She questioned“Hhhhh… yes” I replied with a frown on my face“What the f*ck, what does he want from you now? Rejecting an
—Alpha Leo's Pov—In the office, I'm going through files and documents, trying to come up with a solution to the deadly disease that has befallen my people, my kingdom. I'm worried sick, my people are depending on me, they're hoping on me and I don't know what to do. Still lost in thought, Beta Zeo walks in.“Alpha, I found a doctor who can help us” he says with some documents in his hands containing information about the said doctorI look up at him with a little smile in my face“Let me see” I say to him as he hands me the documents he was with when he came inWhile going through the documents, he begins to explain“ Her name is Doctor Lena Everhart, she's currently staying in the crescent pack, she's the doctor who cured and saved the Nightwalker pack when a deadly disease befell them, she currently is running a single mothers foundation, encouraging single mother, she… “ I cut him short and didn't let him finish“Send her a letter as soon as possible, requesting that her presence
—Lena's POV— “He must be really desperate to offer me that much land and wealth.” I tell Zoey as I gulp down the remaining whiskey in my glass, the burn doesn't help or make my mind any clearer. “Yes he must be, I've never heard of an Alpha offering up this much to a stranger, because he doesn't know that it's you so he must be really desperate.” Zoey said. “Fuck! Why couldn't he just stay out of my life, I was doing so well, I had my job, I had my kids and after all these years Leo just had to come in again.” I said as I ran my hands through my hair. “You can say no Lena, you're not obligated to help him or that pack, they all turned their backs on you.” Zoey told me, I appreciated Zoey and I wished I was more like her, she saw the world in black and white and that was it, but that wasn't me, I knew they were some grey areas and I was a doctor, I swore to do no harm, so if I ignore Leo's request and not help the pack and more people die when I could've helpe

Lena's POV. It took us about two hours but we finally had dinner ready. The cake needs another twenty minutes in the oven and then I'll pull it out. I check the time and it's already six thirty, Emmett is in the living room with the kids. Zoey already bathed them and they're in their PJs, Zoey is currently up in her room getting ready and when she gets down, I'll go up and get ready. While I'm setting the table, she comes down looking really good in a white floral dress and it looks like she even put on a bit of makeup. “Not a word from you.” She tells me. “I didn't say anything.” I say as I do my best to hold back my smile. “You should go get ready before your guests arrive, I'll finish setting the table.” She tells me. “Thank you and you can take the cake out in like twenty minutes.” I tell her. “OK, twenty minutes.” She says. “And Zoey….” “Yea?” “You look really pretty.” I tell her and then I run up the stairs but I don't m
Alpha Leo's POV. After we left the land, the feeling left but it still shook me, that must've been the same thing Lena felt. “Are you good Leo?” Zeo asked as we made our way out of the house, it wasn't seven yet but by the time we drove down to the house it should be. “Yes, I'm fine.” I tell him, still a little bit distracted. Just as I'm about to open the front door, there's a knock on the door. “Who could that be?” I asked Zeo. “It's probably Elijah.” He tells me and then I remember him saying Elijah was going to come over to give his report, with everything happening today, I completely forgot. I open the door and you can see the shock on his face that I'm the one that opened the door. “Alpha Leo.” He greets then bows his head. “Come in Elijah, we were just about to head out.” I tell him as he steps into the foyer. “Ok, then I won't keep you, I just came to give my report for the day and then I'll head out again.” He tells us.
Lena’s POV. Yes, she's definitely pissed. “I invited them for dinner.” I repeat again. “Yea, I heard you the first time, why would you do that?” She asked me, she was looking at me like I was crazy or something. “Ok, let me start from the beginning, it'll make sense when I'm done explaining.” I tell her. “Alright, I'm listening.” She says as she has her hands folded over her chest. “Leo and I went to get some samples and look around the area where the first kid that got sick lived, when we got there we found this black sludge and turns out it was running underneath the ground but we don't know how far it has gone, Leo and Zeo are looking into it but I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the disease. I took a sample back to the lab to examine, same with some water and soil sample and they all came back inconclusive, same thing with Brie's labs, all the tests we ran on her were inconclusive. I was stumped, I was staring at my computer screen for hours befor
Lena's POV. As I drive back to the lab, my mind whirls back to when I got the letter from Leo, asking for my help and also when I decided to help him. Maybe I should've listened to Zoey, I should've said no and by now I would be back at home with my kids, none the wiser about what was going on here. But no, my bleeding heart had to go and say yes and now not only do I have to find a cure, I also have to go with Leo to New Orleans of all places to convince his witch friend to help us and then there's also the part where all this is a directed attack, which means that none of us here in the pack are safe. “Yea, I should've said no.” I whisper to myself as I stop the car and get out of it. I take a deep breath and steady myself before I go back into the lab. There's no point thinking of what if’s, I'm here now and the sooner I find a cure, the sooner I can get out of here and back to my life. But as I say that, it doesn't sound as true and there's only one reason for that
ALPHA LEO'S POV. The moment she said that this was planned, that someone did this on purpose, all my fears were verified. I always blamed myself for letting this happen to my pack, for not seeing it coming and then not being able to find a cure to help my people that were dying and now Lena all but confirmed that this is really my fault. Ever since she said it I've just had this loud ringing in my ear and Zeo was now the one asking questions but I needed to get myself together. “So do either of you happen to have a witch or warlock on speed dial?” Lena asks. “No, Lena you know how those guys are, they're as introverted and secluded as they get plus they hate our kind.” Zeo tells her. “Yea, I know. I was just hoping. It isn't going to be easy to find one, talk more of getting them to help.” She says and then she bites her lip, it's a habit of hers, she always does that when she's frustrated. “I know someone.” I say and they both turn to look at me, the sam
Lena's POV. I've been in the lab for hours now, staring at the results on the screen, like maybe the longer I stare at it the more it will make more sense to me, but it isn't working. Frustrated, I get up from my chair and take off my mask and gloves. “Arggghhhhhh!” I scream. I've never been so stumped and frustrated in my life before. “This can't be right. I mean the elements and the arrangements, they're all wrong.” Emmett says more to himself as he stares at the screen. “I've never seen anything like this before and it's the same thing with Brie's labs, the tests are also inconclusive. What exactly is this disease?” I asked myself and as I continued staring at the screen a light bulb went off in my head, it finally clicked. “That's it.” I say as I let out a sigh of relief. “What is it?” Emmett asked, looking very confused. “We've been treating this disease luke any normal disease but that's where we were wrong, it's not like any other
Alpha Leo's POV. Every fiber of my being wanted to stay and look after her ever since she had that scare back in the woods, but I knew that I couldn't, apart from her not going to like it, it wasn't my place anymore. But when she ran into my arms, for just those few moments, everything was right in the world, my heart was at peace because it was at home, she was home, she always has been. I need her back in my life, I need a plan, a full proof plan because I'll only get one shot to get her and the kids back. I pack my car in the garage and head into the house and straight to my office where I know Zeo is waiting. “You're back early, I thought for sure you'd spend all day with Lena, what happened?” He asked as I walked into the office and he has that smirk on his face. “We have a problem.” I tell him and he must hear the urgency in my voice because the smirk immediately clears from his face. “What is it?” He asked. “Lena and I went down to Brie's parents
Lena's POV. After I calm down I pull myself away from Leo and start building up my walls immediately, whatever moment just happened between us now, it can never happen again. “We should head back, the sooner I start analysing the samples I took, the better.” I tell him and he has this worried and confused look on his face. “Are you sure? You don't have to do that now, you can go back home and start up tomorrow.” He tells me. “I'm fine Leo, trust me. If I go home all I'll be able to think about are the samples that I need to analyse waiting for me back at the lab. So it's better if I just go to the lab.” I explain to him and for a moment it looks like he wants to complain but he let's out a sigh and decides against it. “Ok then, let's head back to the lab.” He tells me and I walk over to the passenger side of the car and get in. The car ride is mostly in silence, but unlike the car ride over this silence isn't comfortable, it's filled with unsaid words and tens
