Samuel I don't know if I'm being brave or stupid. Trailing behind the pack to speak with the man who hurt me more than anyone ever has... I hope it's the right decision. We do need to talk but I've never felt ready to. Being apart for so long helped me get out of talking but this isn't healthy. Eventually, we stop and watch as our pack continues ahead. I look at Peter now and see his eyes darting around. Is he nervous? That's what he used to do when he was antsy about something. Funny how he still has that little tick of his. I let out a faint laugh. I never realized how much I knew Peter without trying. We were friends for so long... how did things turn out this way? So many things went wrong between us all because of that night. I don't even know what happened to me since I've never gone into a heated state again. I take a deep breath. "Now are you going to explain yourself?" I ask looking to the side at Peter. "I've come to terms with the pain you've caused me... but I still wa
Daisy From day one, my life was nothing but a string of bad luck. I was born an Omega while my parents were the Betas of the pack. My birth nearly killed my mother so I was unloved immediately. I was the smallest and weakest pup as well. Honestly, I'm surprised I survived since my parents hate me so much. I've been neglected all my life. Always pushed aside for the beautiful, perfect, and well-loved Dahlia. Who would love a useless and plain daisy when they could have a beautiful and sweet dahlia? My twin sister is a strong and skillful wolf who shifted at the same pace as the previous Alpha's son at merely the age of eight. She looks like a part of our family with long honey-blonde, bright blue eyes, and nice sun-kissed skin. She always excels in hunting, and fighting, and everyone adores her. She is who everyone assumes will be our next Luna. Compared to her, I don't fit in at all. With my gray-white hair, dull purple eyes, and pale as a sheet skin, I'm nothing but plain and ug
Daisy I turn around as my twin sister storms into the room. Her blue eyes are dark and she looks ticked off. Dread rushes through me and I take a step back. "Get over here, little bitch!" Dahlia snarls and walks up to me grabbing my arm. I flinch as her grip is hard and her nails big through my hoodie sleeves. "B-Beta Dahlia!" Samuel stammers and puts his hands up. "Daisy's been here the whole time! I can vouch for her." Samuel is always trying to defuse the situation, but it always has the opposite effect on Dahlia. "Oh, shut up! And that's future Luna to you, Omega trash." She snaps. I then find myself getting dragged away and I shoot Samuel a hard look. Nothing good will come from him following us. I don't want him to get in trouble either. She takes me into a bathroom and locks the door. "Listen here, useless scum." She shoves me hard against the wall. "My birthday will be this Saturday and Tristian is holding a birthday celebration for me. Don't EVEN think about crashing
Daisy For the next few days, everyone is getting ready for a big birthday celebration for Dahlia. Only a few fellow Omegas look at me with pity as they know I'm her twin sister, but I don't let it get to me. I'm looking forward to finally being free from this mundane life of mine. The only way that can happen is by finding my mate. I'm a mix of nerves and excitement. I can't wait to meet him! Most of all though, I can't wait to meet my wolf. If I have one, tomorrow will be my last day to meet her. What will she be like? Will she be small and meek like me? Or strong and bold unlike me? I want to find out her name most of all. I just hope she likes me and won't be disappointed in me. For now, I'm helping the other omegas bake the massive cake. With so many pack members, a big cake is necessary but isn't this a bit too much? It has six tiers and the decorations... it looks more like a celebration for... Ah! Alpha Tristian must believe Dahlia truly is his mate so it's going to
DaisyI start to stir and curl up as my whole body aches. The beating I got from Grayson and his goons took a toll on my already tired body. I wouldn't be surprised if it was well past sunrise.'Wake up, Daisy.' A calm voice makes me shoot up. I look around frantically and then frown. No one's in my room. Did I imagine that voice?'It's ok, sweetheart.' That voice soothes me but I only hold myself tightly. 'Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.'"W-who's there?" I stammer out and look around still. Is someone playing a trick on her? 'My name is Naomi. I'm your wolf.' That makes me pause and blink several times. My wolf? I have one? My heart starts to pound in my chest."A-are you really my wolf?" I ask hopefully. "I-I've always wanted one... so that I wouldn't be seen as completely useless." I look down. I feel like I'm talking to myself.'You're far from useless, Daisy. You're a very special wolf. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.' Her voice is so soothing yet strong. 'We have a ver
DaisyI run for a long time and don't hear anyone following me luckily. I stumble and roll down a hill curling up to protect myself. I feel like screaming or crying, I'm not sure which but I know what's going to happen.'Daisy, what's wrong? Why did you run away from our mate?' Naomi asks worriedly. I guess since she just came to me, she doesn't know how Tristian treats me."It won't work... he's Dahlia's boyfriend... and the alpha! He won't ever..." I shake my head and hold myself. "He's going to reject me. There's nothing else to it."I close my eyes tightly and try not to cry. What kind of sick joke is this? Why would the Moon Goddess choose him as my mate? Was everyone right? Am I just meant to be punished for someone I couldn't even control as a baby?I hear leaves crunching and freezing as that fresh scent reaches my nose. 'Mate! Give him a chance, Daisy!' I can picture her wagging her tail in delight. Too bad she's going to be thoroughly disappointed.I stand up to run again bu
Tristian This day hasn't gone as planned at all. It was just another day, sure, but my love could finally find her mate. I was hoping it was me but my wolf, Silas, didn't respond. I know he loves Sunny, Dahlia's wolf, but she isn't our mate. Then everything started to go wrong. First, I did find my mate. It should have been a wonderful and amazing experience. Instead, it was a nightmare. I locked eyes with her and immediately knew it was Daisy, the useless Omega in our pack. Silas momentarily was blinded by the joy but even he knew she wasn't going to be a strong Luna for our pack. Second, I rejected her. It was obvious to me and I did it heartlessly. I never felt sorry for her as weakness in our pack needed to be weeded out. I knew it could have killed her but so be it. Then she accepted it. The pain I felt in my chest was agonizing and I realized what I just put her through. Third, I looked back afterward. Seeing Daisy faint made my heart ache and I caught her. Once she was s
Daisy So my twin sister is the Luna of the pack now. If we were close, I would be overjoyed for her. If he wasn't my mate... if he didn't reject me for her... if she didn't hate my guts... if my life wasn't getting worse... I'd be so happy for her. Instead, I'm getting bullied so much more because I'm just a disgrace. I'm also dealing with the worst feelings and pains ever. That night he left me after threatening me, I felt everything that was going on. The pain I felt was terrible and I didn't know what it was. Naomi explained to me later that it was because Tristian was mating with another. 'Even if the rejection broke the bond, I didn't reject Silas and he didn't reject me so part of it is still there.' Naomi explained. 'It will fade with time but for now, it will hurt. I'm so sorry, Daisy.' Her presence seems weaker now but I'm happy I didn't lose my wolf because of the rejection. She told me not to try and shift yet because it wasn't time. When will it be time then? Back

Peter "Today, we will be heading home!" Aiden announces to the pack. "I would like to thank everyone in Royal Pack for your hospitality." He dips his head to Xander. "Thank you for allowing us to stay while my pup was injured." Xander smiles and nods. "Of course. Thank you for helping with the war." Next to him is his male Beta as Carmen left alongside their pack healer a few nights ago. The only one who seems to know the reason is the Alpha King himself and since it has nothing to do with Crimson Moon, I don't care enough to ask. Aiden nods and motions for us to follow. "Come along. We have a long road ahead." He says and with that, we're on the move. Since we have pups with us, we can move as quickly as we want so it'll take an extra couple of days. As we walk, my eyes wander over to Samuel who is holding our pup. After learning Hazel and Zoey were mates, hope swelled my heart. Maybe we could start anew and put the past behind us. This is the chance I've been waiting for. Howev
Tristian The war doesn't last long at all. Without Trent's leadership, the rogues devolved and scattered after the second fight. It may take years for another large group of rogues to band together and even longer for a powerful wolf to take them over. With how Moonlight Pack must be now... they will scatter too without any leadership. Of course, I can't call myself a leader as it is. As my wounds healed, I knew it only meant my time here was coming to an end. I silently cursed my Alpha blood for making them heal faster and dreaded what was to come. Xander only allowed me to stay because I saved Leah but only until my wounds healed completely. Soon I'll be all left alone and it will truly be all my fault. Regretting it all doesn't change anything though. I tried to speak to Daisy and apologize but she didn't accept it. She barely let me speak before she lashed out but it was what I deserved. The more she talked down on me, the more I agreed with every word. "You want to apologize
Skylar The battle didn't bother me when it happened. The other kids were scared and Ebony especially was terrified too. However, when I looked out and saw Moonlight pack members fighting alongside rogues, I could only think of one thing: it figures. Nothing they do surprises me anymore. The way I see it, none of them are worth anything at all. Seeing how other packs are opened my eyes to just how dysfunctional Moonlight is... or rather was. Knowing that they're nothing more than a band of rogues left out in the elements brings me so much joy. They've finally gotten what they deserve! The only ones that are worth caring about are already here: the Omegas who were powerless against the rest of the pack and the former Gammas. I did worry about Grayson fighting when I looked over at Rina and their pup but he's also an amazing fighter so when the battle was over and he came over to check on his family, it was just a sure thing. Now I have to worry about my little siblings instead. I lo
Tristian When I wake up, the first thing I notice is the pain I'm in. I've never felt anything like this before like my body has been ripped open. I let out a small whimper and try to move but it only makes things worse. "Tristian?" A sweet voice calls out to me and my nose is filled with the scent of lavender and mint so I open my eyes. I meet doe-like eyes and lift my head. 'Leah...?' Pain rips through me and I let out a small whine. She pats the top of my head and if I didn't hurt so much, I'd be wagging my tail. 'What happened to...!' Then memories of the battle come back to me. I immediately start sniffing her trying to see if she smells of blood. 'Are you alright?!' Irrational panic runs through me. Leah bites her lip and nods. "Yes... I'm ok." She frowns but then continues to speak. "... Why, Tristian?" I tilt my head feeling confused. "Why did you... protect me? Why didn't you run away? Why?" She sounds so frustrated. Why is she asking me that? Shouldn't it be obvious?
Leah As I sit next to the unconscious former Alpha, my anxiety gets stronger with each passing hour. Thanks to my wolf, he was out of danger and would recover. That's not what I'm nervous about at all. I want to know why he did what he did for me. I want to hear it from him. Before I alert Xander to tell him he is awake... I needed answers. *** ~During the Battle~ Getting an alert of a rogue attack gets me on edge. As a doctor, all I can think of is my pack members getting injured. No amount of preparation makes these things easier. "What's wrong?" Tristian asks worriedly. I came down here to give him his meal and leave yet I lingered here to chat. Something about Tristian calms me down when I should be on edge since he is one of the main factors in this war we're in. Yet I can't bring myself to hate his stupid but handsome face. "I'm sorry but I have to go! They're attacking the pack while everyone is gone!" I turn away knowing I'm needed up there. "You'll be safe here s
Silas ~Dream~ Running free is the dream of every wolf. Fresh air going into our lungs, wind blowing through our fur, moonlight lighting our way... it's just what every wolf hopes they can do. To make it better, their mate would be running by their side their furs brushing against one another, and love pushing them forward. Yet as I run, the air is stale and chilly. The forest around me is dark and suffocating. As I run, I'm lost and alone with no mate to be found. I already ruined everything with Naomi. No matter how much I yearn for or plead with her, she won't come to my side. I made a huge mistake trusting and loving Sunny. I was blinded just as Tristian was to Dahlia. Now I'm doomed to live forever alone. Soon I'll be a lonely rogue and lose my mind completely but haven't I already? All I can think of is Naomi. I can't get passed it. I haven't tried very hard but how can I? She was my perfect mate. She could have been an amazing Luna who would have elevated Moonlight Pack to
Daisy The moment we enter Royal Pack's base, the sound of growls and yelps makes my ears ring. I stand there stunned at the fight that awaits us. Most of the wolves here are rogues but I do catch sight of some familiar Moonlight Pack members as well. How can they go along with this? Why have they fallen so far? I clench my fists. It's like none of them have brains of their own. They deserve whatever they get once they become a scattered bunch of rogues. "Stay safe, love," Aiden says before rushing off after Xander. Looks like they'll be fighting together... no one will stand a chance against them! I quickly shift into my wolf form my paws itching for some action. Hopefully, I'll be able to find Dahlia in this mess! 'Daisy!' Anna's voice rings in my head before I can jump into battle. 'I need you to help me protect the pups!' I dig my nails into the ground before I take off following Anna's scent. While I'd love to fight some nasty rogues, protecting the pups is more important. The
Zoey Defending the pups is a no-brainer for me. I was trained as a warrior and continued my studies even after coming to Royal Pack. Doctor Leah told me having a schedule and continuing down the path I was before would help me with my lost memory. Too bad it didn't come back sooner. Luckily, my wolf is larger than most she-wolves though I don't match up to Luna Queen Anna. Her gray and white wolf form is built with power which is why she is also perfect for protecting the pups. No one will be able to harm them with the two of us here especially when our pups are in the mix. The thought of any of these bastards getting close to Ebony makes my blood boil. We are outnumbered by a lot. All we can do is hold the rogue and Moonlight scum off until the others show up. I can tell the others are getting tired but then a loud howl echoes the clearing. Anna perks up. 'Xander!' She yips in joy hearing her mate. Must be nice! As the reinforcements rush in, I let out a sigh of relief. Now I kno
