Dahlia Preparing for this day took a lot of time and energy but now it was finally time. My heart pounds with excitement and I can't help but grin at the boy. "Are you ready, dear?" The boy stirs and looks up at me his hazel eyes blank but he nods. "... Yes... I'm ready, mother." I grin happily when he calls me that. As it should be! Finally, he's home where he belongs. "Stay right here until I call for you. Gotta make a grand entrance!" I say happily. Once he finds behind a tree, I make my way out to everyone. Tristian is giving everyone the rundown of what happened at the party. This is the best time to introduce him to the pack while everyone is gathered. "Oh great! Everyone is still here." I say cheerfully making everyone's attention go on me. I bask in it too as it's what I deserve! I stop in front of him and grin at his surprised expression. "I have a huge surprise for everyone! Especially you, Tristian." I give him a big kiss and feel him freeze. I pull back seeing that daz
Dahlia I stare up at Magnus my heart pounding hard in my chest. He will give me what I desire... but what does he mean by feed him? Does he want to devour me in that way...? The thought sends a thrill down my spine. "I will make that one see you as you wish..." Magnus says making me freeze. "That boy... I have the power to make him see you as you wish. All you have to do is trust me... and make sure to feed me well, sweet flower." He tilts his head to the side. "What will it be?" My mind begins to race. How does he know about my son? Is he going to expose me to my pack? I hesitate as I feel a bit panic but then I feel something warm come over me. I look into Magnus' eyes and get lost in them once again. No... I can trust him. He leans forward and our lips meet. As Magnus kisses me, I lose all my sense and control. As we end up on the ground with Magnus hovering over me, he smirks and I whimper with need. It's been so long since Tristian's even glanced my way. Why can't I do someth
Skylar When I wake up, I find myself in a strange place. I'm still trapped that much I know but I remember falling asleep on the bed in this room so why is my back against something hard? I look around and try to move but find that I can't. It's then that I see that I'm tied to a long table. Panic sets in and I struggle with the ties. What's going on? What is that crazy Dahlia doing to me now? I won't give in! She'll never be my Mom! "Oh, good! You're awake!" I snap my head to where her voice comes from and I tense. Dahlia is sitting on the bed I fell asleep in the lap of a man. Her eyes are glassy and her face flushes like she has a fever. What makes me feel afraid though is the man. With his long red hair like wet blood and dark red eyes, I just know he's trouble. Everything about him just makes me want to shy away and hide. His lips twist into a cruel smile and my heart pounds in my chest. "Magnus, love, this is the boy! My son who has been so brainwashed by my stank of a sist
~Back in the Present~ Tristian Taking Keith home was such a strange feeling. He only looked around with a blank stare and didn't respond to anything I said. He would then sit down on the floor and pull his knees to his chest as if he didn't belong anywhere. Coaxing him didn't work either even when Dahlia tried to do the same. Thinking about it sends a pang of sadness through me. What sort of life has he lived through to make him so... void of life? Dahlia only said that she saved him from the terrible woman who took him from us but who was it exactly? While I am happy... why doesn't this feel right? After Keith falls asleep, I make my way downstairs and spot Dahlia in the kitchen. She hums to herself in a dreamy-like manner and it makes me crack a smile. It's nice to see her so happy. I step forward to approach her when a certain scent reaches my nose. I tense and watch as Dahlia happily hums and makes herself a snack and some tea. She's not only happy because of Keith! Jealousy
Keith Life isn't so bad honestly. I have a nice home, all the food I can eat, and some kind kids who want to be my friends. I'm even the son of the Alpha and Luna making me like a prince in a fairytale story! I'm supposed to be happy and grateful. So why does everything feel so off? 'Don't forget who you are!' That voice echoes in my head but where is it coming from? Thinking about it gives me a pounding headache too. The man who calls himself my father is nice enough. I don't have any complaints about him but I do feel uncomfortable. 'Tristian' is what I call him but he seems understanding about it. He doesn't push me but the expectation just makes me feel weird. I look just like him so it must be true. Mother on the other hand... she's so strange and clingy. For the most part, she's just kind and loving. When I look at her, I think 'She must be my mother' and don't question it. It's just how she acts that scares me. If I do anything wrong, then she becomes very angry. She alway
Daisy The moon tonight is lovely and full. As I sit under the stars by my favorite lake, I can't help but let my mind wander. Everyone tells me to stay positive. I hear it so many times a day at this point that it makes me want to scream. If I keep being reminded of my pup's absence, how can I stay in the right mindset? Don't they know that it only makes me more depressed? "Skylar will be home soon! I'll make sure of it." Aiden assured me like always. "Everything will be back to normal soon. I promise." How can he promise something like that? I don't want us both to be disappointed. "Try to keep your stress levels down," Olivia told me after examining me. "I know it's hard but you don't want to cause any issues with your twins. It's still early in the pregnancy so you must try and breathe." Easier said than done. I don't want to harm the twins but how can I not be upset? Everyone else in the packs says the same thing too. "Don't worry, Luna! Let us do the work and bring Skylar hom
~Several Weeks Earlier~ Samuel My days in Crimson Moon have been great honestly. I have plenty of friends and can stay by Daisy's side. My crush has long faded and I see her as she sees me: a sibling figure. She's a wonderful big sister and of course an even better Luna. I'll always love her in a way but not in a romantic sense. I'll need to save that for when I pick someone to be my chosen mate. Victor let out a small snort in my head which makes me frown. Any time I think of choosing a mate he gets so huffy with me. "What is it this time?" I ask as I change into some nice dress clothes. I hate the traditional suit look so I go with a pair of black jeans and a nice button-up shirt. 'There's no need to think about it. That's all. We have a second chance mate out there.' Victor says with so much certainty like always. I raise an eyebrow as I wonder if he knows more than he's letting on but I shrug it off. "Well, one day I might find a pretty she-wolf I like. Maybe you'll like her
Samuel I walk behind Aiden and Daisy as they talk and bicker with each other. I want to see this for myself. I want to see Moonlight Pack see just who they lost by treating her so poorly. Excitement runs through my heart as I picture the looks on Tristian and Dahlia's faces. I want them to what they lost. I want them to regret and relish the idea of them begging for her to return. I know nothing will beat her love for Aiden so I can have the satisfaction. The thought makes me feel a little warmer but it's bearable. I feel eyes on me but I ignore them as I walk. "Entering now is the Alpha and Luna of Crimson Moon!" An Omega from Royal Pack announces making all the attention go on my Alpha and Luna. "Welcome Aiden and Daisy Rivers!" The gasps of shock that ring through the air are music to my ears. As I walk inside, I spot both Tristian and Dahlia looking at the two with a mix of shock, horror, and rage. Dahlia bites one of her nails which I see as a nervous habit. When coming to
