Chapter Four
Keisha's Pov
"Where do you think you are going ?" my uncle said coming into my room. So you think I will let you go for the ball you worthless thing so you'll disgrace me, aren't you ashamed of yourself, you really think there's a mate out there for you haha always delusional."
No uncle I really know my mate is out there and you really have to let me go to the ball. Due forced me to say.
"You whore who asked you to talk back at me" my uncle said accompanied with his hands colliding with my cheeks, as tears rolled down my eyes he took a scissors and ripped my dress.
"After the ball you are going to be punished tonight for disrespecting me" he said while locking the door from outside. I can't take it and I let the tears fall freely. What am I going to do now? He has completely ruined me and ruined my life, I still can't comprehend what he wants from me. Why can't he let me go?
"I hate him, I hate him so much I have never liked him. If I have my ways I will rip him into so many pieces but you wouldn't let me at him."
Due he is still our uncle, we have to respect him and obey him. Besides we are going to live being his personal slave and personal punching bag for the rest of our lives.
I'm so sorry Due that you had to get stuck with me.
"Oh shut Keisha! I wouldn't want any other person to be stuck with, if not you. The moon goddess paired us together for a reason. By the way something is going to happen tonight I can feel it.
********
I lay in my cell, I could hear the music and laughter from the ball outside. I really longed to be there, to dance, to meet my mate. But instead, I am being locked up, trapped, and alone.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. My heart began to race as I wondered who it could be. Was it my uncle coming to punish me? Like he said he would tonight, Or was it someone else?
The door to my room slowly creaked open, and in walked two men. One was tall and broad-shouldered, with piercing blue eyes and a strong jawline. The other was shorter and more slender, with dark hair and a kind smile.
"Are you okay?" the tall man asked, his voice deep and reassuring.
I was too stunned to speak. Who are these men? And how did they find me.
"We're here to rescue you," the shorter man said. "My name is Leo, and this is Adrian. We're from the blood moon pack. We heard about what your uncle has been doing to you, and we knew we had to help."
I couldn't believe it. Was this really happening? Was i really going to be free? But at the mention of Adrian, Due couldn't stop screaming mate,he was so cute and built and I couldn't really focus on what due was saying cause I'll be finally free and out of here.
Adrian stepped forward and gently took my hands as I was about to flinch. His eyes looked up to me reassuringly and I gave it to me . "Come on," he said. "We're getting you out of here."
Together, the three of us crept through the house, avoiding the guards and the partygoers. I held my breath as we slipped out the back door and into the night.
As we reached the woods Adrian and Leo changed into their wolf and I hopped on Adrian's back as we ran through the woods, I felt a sense of hope l hadn't felt in years. I was finally free, and I had two strong, kind men by my side now and my mate and I know they'll take care of me.
When we finally reached the safety of Adrian's pack, I unintentionally collapsed into his arms, tears streaming down my face freely. "Thank you," I whispered. "Thank you so much."
Adrian held her close, feeling a sense of protectiveness and love he had never felt before. He knew that Keisha was his mate, and he would Do anything to keep her safe. Together, they would face whatever the future held, knowing that they had each other.
Adrian's Pov
I'm Alpha Adrian from the blood moon pack. I got invited to the moonlight's eclipse ball two weeks ago and now I'm preparing for the ball with my best friend leo who is my beta. We are practically brothers, we grew up together since our mothers are friends and we have got each other's back since birth.
Getting into the car with Leo by my side, my wolf Ace kept on whining in my head about our mate. I hope I find her today. I've been waiting for her for years now. I've looked for her for years now.
How long do we have to reach there? I asked Leo."We would soon be pulling up, just some distance left."
As we arrive at the moonlight pack, the ball is already in full swing. The room is filled with werewolves from different packs, dressed in their finest attire. I and Leo make our way to the dance floor, where we join the other guests in dancing to the music and talking pack related business.
We got to greet the Alpha and Luna of the moonlight pack.
Alpha shepherd and Luna Cordelia thanks for having us here." Ahh Alpha Adrian and Beta Leo it's a pleasure having you both here please feel free and enjoy yourself" Alpha shepherd said, yes we will.
As the night comes to a close, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. I can't stop thinking about my mate, and I know that I need to find her. Suddenly, a voice in my head. It's Ace, my wolf, and he's getting impatient and wouldn't stop nagging in my head.
"I'm getting impatient here. I can feel her and you're not going to go look for her. I need her and I know she's around here somewhere I can feel her Adrian." Alright be calm we are going to go look for her now. I know that I can't ignore Ace's instincts, so I decide to leave the ball and search for my mate with Leo by my side.
As I and Leo walk through the dark pack house, I can feel my heart racing. I am so worried about my mate and I know that I need to find her fast. Suddenly, I heard a noise in the distance. I start to run towards the sound with Leo hot on my tail, hoping that it's my mate.
As we arrive, I see my mate lying on the ground. She's been beaten up and her dress was ripped to pieces, and she's badly injured. "Are you okay?" Leo asked her but she was too stunned to reply."We're here to rescue you," Leo said. "My name is Leo, and this is Adrian. We're from the blood moon pack. Adrian has been searching for his mate for years and we got invited to the ball and Adrian's wolf ace wouldn't stop whining and he brought us here.
I stepped forward and gently took her hands in mine and I noticed she was about to flinch. My eyes looked up to her reassuringly and she released her hands and gently placed them on mine, gosh her hands are so soft she looks so fragile . Come on, I said. We're getting you out of here.
Together, the three of us crept through the house, avoiding the guards and the partygoers as we slipped out the back door and into the night. It's not like I'm scared of anyone but I just don't want to make a scene now. I know you might be wondering why I don't want to make a scene because I'm one of the feared Alpha, but I just found my mate and I don't know what she's been through. I don't want to rush losing her when I just found her.
As we reached the woods I and Leo changed into our wolf and I asked my mate to hop on my back, as she did we took off into the woods, I felt a sense of peace l hadn't felt in years. I was finally taking my mate to my pack and she's going to be my Luna, now that I have my mate by my side I'll do everything in my power to take care of her.
When we finally reached the safety of my pack,I wasn't expecting my mate to collapse into my arms, tears streaming down her face freely. "Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you so much."
I held her close to myself, feeling a sense of protectiveness and love I had never felt before. I knew that Keisha is my mate, and I would Do anything to keep her safe. Together, we would face whatever the future holds, knowing that we have each other.

"Yeah yeah I know the place is a mansion but be fast so we don't have to keep mate waiting, I can't wait to meet him and meet his wolf properly," Due said in my head. I know I know whatever dirty thoughts you have, please keep them at Bay and not jump on him. I'm not used to this kind of treatment and him yet and we are in the pack house sooner or later we have to meet with the whole pack members which I'm dreading so bad.

I have been wishing for a long time to find my mate and the moon goddess has blessed me with my mate and his sister, and I can't wait to spend some quality time with her. Sophia greets me with a warm smile and a hug, and we spend the next few hours chatting and laughing over coffee, Sophia telling me stories of when she and Adrian were little and all the funny things he did. "Here's one I can never forget. When Adrian and I were little, he was obsessed with superheroes. He spent hours running around the house in a cape, pretending to save the world. One day, One day our mom took him and i to the grocery store, and Adrian insisted on wearing his superhero costume. As we walked through the aisles, Adrian kept his eyes peeled for any signs of trouble. Suddenly, he spotted a man with a black ski mask over his face, and he knew he had to act fast. He charged at the man, ready to take him

Sophia's eyes widen in excitement as she exclaims, "Oh my gosh! Of course I'll help you get ready! This is so exciting!" Sophia helps me get ready by suggesting different outfits and hairstyles. We both have fun trying things on and taking pictures of my different looks. We even used Snapchat's Dress Up feature to try on virtual clothing and accessories. After much deliberation, we finally settled on the perfect outfit and hairstyle. I feel so confident and excited as I get ready to go on my first date ever and with my mate. Sophia suggests that I wear a light blue sundress with a pair of strappy sandals. She thinks that the dress will look great on your complexion and the sandals will make my legs look longer. She also suggests that I wear my hair in loose waves and put on some light makeup to
Chapter Eight Adrian’s Pov As I was going to my room, after taking Keisha to her’s, I thought about today. Though I had gone on a date twice, this one’s just so different from the others. Today was magical and my mate made it so perfect, she’s so perfect. As I stood outside her room as she hugged me. As I hugged her I leaned in,nuzzling into her neck, I was so close that she could feel my lips ghosting over her neck, and then I made a move and kissed her, I felt the mate bond, the shock running through my body and I know she felt it too it was the best I have had. I felt her hands clinged onto my jacket for support. I hummed slowly, sending shivers and vibration through her body. She pulled apart so she could get some oxygen into her system and I myself needed it, even though I didn’t want to stop, she smiled at me and said goodnight. As I was about drifting off to sleep with a content smile on my face, I heard a very loud scream coming from Keisha’s room, I think twice as I dash
Chapter NineKeisha’s Pov You know my parents died in an attack when they traveled, so my uncle took me in. The first few months were actually very nice, they were all nice to me and all of a sudden they all changed towards me and till now I have no idea why. They maltreated me, beat me up, took advantage of me and I was powerless.On this faithful day I went out running into the woods because Due needed to be let out she had been in for so long because I wasn’t allowed to go out at all or talk to anyone so this day we went running because uncle went out and we were going to be back before he got back, but I and Due got carried away by the beautiful view and lost track of time. once we realized that we had lost track of time, we ran straight back home.On reaching my room my uncle was there patiently waiting for me, as I climbed back into my bedroom from my window i was startled hearing his voice.“Wow I never took you to be an athlete climbing and jumping through trees and your wind
Keisha’s Pov I wanted to tell you but I was so scared and I knew if I told you, you’d want to go there and fight and I’m not ready yet to face any of them. I don’t think I’m strong yet but I know I will one day. I have lots of questions to ask, why did he treat me that way, did my parents hurt them or do something to them? Lots of questions just keep popping in my head but I’m not ready yet. I looked down, still feeling ashamed for not speaking up earlier. Adrian put his hand underneath my chin and lifted my face up to his. He looked at me with eyes full of love and understanding. "Keisha, you didn't have to be scared. You are safe now and I will always protect you," he said softly. I looked at Adrian and felt a sense of comfort and safety that I had never felt before. I knew that Adrian was the one for me. He had saved me from a life of misery, and had shown me that there was love and happiness in the world. As the days went by, I started to open up more to Adrian. I even told hi
Adrian’s POV I’m currently lying down in one of the hospital’s beds close to my precious mate, she lost a lot of blood and I’m currently transferring mine to her. I was so surprised that my blood matched hers. The doctor hasn’t been able to know what’s wrong with Keisha but she has been able to keep her stable. “Alpha, can you follow me to my office? I think I found something in her blood,” the doctor said, "okay after you I slowly got up from the bed, feeling a bit dizzy from the blood transfer. I follow the doctor to her office, my mind racing with worry for Keisha. What could be wrong with her? I can't bear the thought of losing her. Once we're in her office, the doctor pulls up Keisha's blood test results on her computer. I try to follow along, but the medical jargon is beyond me. "Alpha, it seems that Keisha has some sort of genetic mutation in her blood. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before," the doctor says, looking at me with a mix of curiosity and concern. "What doe
Keisha’s Pov I watched as Adrian took one of the blankets from the shelf heading to the couch to sleep and I know he has been exhausted from working and if I let him sleep on the couch he wouldn’t have a good sleep. Hey Adrian, I noticed you look really tired and exhausted. Would you like to sleep on the bed instead of the couch so you can have a more comfortable sleep? And before you day the bed is small, I know that and I’m not complaining. “Thanks so much my love. I really appreciate your kind gesture.” I watched as he got into bed with me and got comfortable. How was your day today? Is there anything you want to talk about?" “My day was pretty busy, my love but now is not the time for me but you. How are you feeling? Are you still in heat? Do you want to try what the doctor suggested?” We could try what the doctor suggested, I am in and I know I can’t run away from it, I think I am ready I said looking into his eyes to let him know how serious I am. He is my mate and I am wi
CHAPTER TWENTY My wolf growled in my head at the mention of her death and I reassured him that we would never let it happen, the last thing I need right now is an angry wolf prowling around in my head. You have a pack now Keisha, a pack that will save you till their last breath, I whispered as I looked down to see her eyelids had closed and her breathing had slowed down. She was asleep. Keisha’s Pov I genuinely believe that she too was a messenger of the moon goddess, why else would someone want to harm her and tip me away from my family? I looked over to my right to see that Adrian was still fast asleep on the other side of the bed, oblivious to the thoughts that were racing through my mind. We had kind of just kept the sleeping arrangements since the other night when I asked him to sleep next to me . We both stubborn and refused to let the other sleep on the sofa so why bother continuing the fight at all if we both knew the other wouldn’t be giving in any time soon. I didn’t ha
Chapter Nineteen Leo was quite after and quickly snapped the book shut with a flick of his wrist, obviously finished with the extract he was reading from. Well what else does it say? I asked as I looked at the book and then at Leo again, expecting there to be more about my Keisha and what she is. The more I knew about her the more I could protect her. Adrian’s Pov All Leo did was shake his head and shrug his shoulders. “ That's it, it just goes about the standard transformation of a wolf after that, but nothing else about the moonstone eyes or what a messenger is capable of. I may have to do some serious digging to find out what a messenger actually is, but I’m hoping we’ll have something in the pack's library somewhere,” he sighed. I nodded my head and took a sneak peek over my shoulder to make sure she was still eating and sighed when I saw that she had finished her soup. Well whatever you need you have alright? I want to get to the bottom of this, I started hoping he knew that
He was stroking this thumb across my waist and once again his touch sent sparks through my body. If I die of a heart attack I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be because of these little moments. Keisha’s POV I was still staring into his eyes and this time he broke the silence. “We should get ready, you gotta look for your clothes.” He says and takes a step away from me Why, why must you do this to me? Why must thou step away from this special moment to look for my stupid clothes. My wolf missed being in his arms. But I do need my stupid clothes. It’s a Sunday which means it’s Sophia and Leo’s day out and meaning I have to spend 3 days with Adrain’s mum in her chambers, she’ll be helping me with the powers I have and what I am and I’m not to tell a soul not even Sophia. I don’t know how Sophia is going to take this, I mean I consider her as my best friend and now I’m going to be hiding this important information from her, I hope she takes it well when I tell her about everything.

Chapter Seventeen Keisha’s Pov God I love his eyes. His eyes, his beautiful brown eyes I could stare into them all day and I still will be hypnotized by them. And his hair, the way it looks like he just rolled out of bed, his dark brown hair that always looks good, I bet it’s soft too. “Try going back to sleep okay? Adrian said and I noticed that it’s still dark outside, I gave him a small nod and lay back down on the bed. Adrian pulls me into his arms again and I feel and I feel his warm embrace already making me feel better. God he smells so good. He starts to draw a circle on my back and at this point I’m sure I’m not going back to sleep but I sure as hell don’t want this moment to end. I feel so safe in his arms, like nothing can happen to me as long as Adrian is by my side. I’m snapped out of my thoughts when Adrian talks to me. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right?” He said, almost whispering. I know, I say. “It's just I don’t want you to feel like you can’t
Chapter SixteenKeisha’s PovMommy?“Wait for me at your uncle's house, okay baby?” She said, clearing the hair out of my face while the tears ran down her face freely.I looked at my dad, I could see the hurt, anger through his eyes. He looks at me and shows nothing but rage, anger and pure disgust but it wasn’t towards me.Mommy what’s going on? I asked and started crying as a single tear rolled down my fathers cheeks.“Don’t worry, everything’s gonna be okay” she said as she took me in her arms and ran her hands up and down my back. She pulled away and whipped my tears with her thumb.“Wait for mommy at your uncle's place, okay?” She said, giving me a sad smile.Don’t leave me, please. I couldn’t control my sobs anymore, tears streamed uncontrollably down my face as I held my moms hands. “ Keisha” she said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll always love you no matter what, remember that and promise me that you’ll be happy” she took my hands and gave it a weak squeeze.And that’s when I heard
Chapter fifteen Keisha’s Pov “Why don’t you live with your parents, Keisha? He kept asking the same question over and over again. “Where are your parents, why don’t you live with them? Do you still talk with your parents? I start breathing fast and heavy because it feels as if my lungs aren’t getting enough air. Adrian notices and gets up from his chair. “That’s enough, dad.” Adrian said in a stern voice . “I’m just asking her a question, Adrian”. And it all starts coming back. The flashbacks, the pain, what I’ve been trying to forget for the past 8 years, what I’ve been trying to run away from, and suddenly I can’t breathe. “Well clearly it isn’t just a question” Adrian says and rushes over to me. He took my hands in his and intertwined our fingers. “This interrogation thing that you're doing is over, come on Keisha we are leaving.” I got up and left my breathing still fast and heavy, I was starting to get dizzy. Adrian I can’t breathe, I said as I squeezed his hands tighter, m
Keisha’s Pov I got back from the hospital, and I was left alone to rest a bit while Sophia made dinner for me. Adrian went to speak to Leo about his parents arrival. I am really scared meeting his parents, I mean what are the odds they wouldn’t even like me. I am just helpless and damaged girl. Who will want such for their Luna and their son, I just wish there will like me. I just sit by my window thinking about what the Doc had said earlier. Could it really be true, was any of my parents Lycans ? The Doc said my Lycan is ready to be unleashed and release its power, but what if I’m not able to control my powers, what if I end up hurting the people around, the people I care so much about. All this thoughts running through my mind that I didn’t hear when Sophia came into the room. “Are you still thinking about what the Doctor said? You shouldn’t stress yourself you know you just got back from the hospital you have to rest and my mom might be able to help a lot cause she’s known abou
Adrian’s Pov I woke up with Keisha still cuddling me and the thought of last night flashed back and I smiled to myself. Keisha is so precious to me and I will do anything to protect her and I will stand by her all the time. Not wanting to wake her up I untangled our bodies and got up to the bathroom quietly, I did my business and it time to see what the doctor has been working on, before I go back to the pack house to get some food for Keisha because I know if she wakes she will be very hungry and she must be very tired because of yesterday. “Alpha, I see that you are awake already,” the pack doctor said. Yes, I am Doc. I came to check on what you have been working on and to see if any test result has come out yet. “There’s nothing to be worried about Alpha, later today the test result will be out, but before that I will check up on Luna to see if she’s stable and free to go home.” Alright that wouldn’t be a problem, I will just head back to the pack house freshen up and get some
Keisha’s Pov I watched as Adrian took one of the blankets from the shelf heading to the couch to sleep and I know he has been exhausted from working and if I let him sleep on the couch he wouldn’t have a good sleep. Hey Adrian, I noticed you look really tired and exhausted. Would you like to sleep on the bed instead of the couch so you can have a more comfortable sleep? And before you day the bed is small, I know that and I’m not complaining. “Thanks so much my love. I really appreciate your kind gesture.” I watched as he got into bed with me and got comfortable. How was your day today? Is there anything you want to talk about?" “My day was pretty busy, my love but now is not the time for me but you. How are you feeling? Are you still in heat? Do you want to try what the doctor suggested?” We could try what the doctor suggested, I am in and I know I can’t run away from it, I think I am ready I said looking into his eyes to let him know how serious I am. He is my mate and I am wi
