Mima's POV The woods was dark and I tried my best to navigate to where I thought I'd meet whoever sent the package.There wasn't a name on the package, neither was there an address but if there's one place I could think of that the person would want to meet me, it's the fatherest part of the pack where the guards don't bother to oversee. I finally arrived at the spot and look around but there's no one there. I stand for a while, waiting but no one shows up.Did I miss the location? Or did I think wrong?A voice in my head spoke to me. “Leave.” I knew it was the goddess but this time. I'll have to be stubborn and not listen to her. I have to figure out who had those pictures of Kia and even if I need to leave for my safety, it's a risk worth taking.The voice shouted in my head, louder this time but I ignore it again. Leave child.I'm about to reply her in my head when I heard rustling from the bushes in front of me.I strike my fighting pose like Beck taught me, ready to attack i
Rake's POVMy whole body aches as I ran into the halls, freezing in place as I came face to face with the many decorations on the wall. What the hell did I even miss? What is the meaning of all of this? I clung to my injured waist that seemed like the wound was reopening with every step that I took. A maid was passing by and I stopped her. “Excuse me.” She first looked extremely surprised at seeing me and then remembered who she was in front of. She slightly bowed, waiting for me to speak.“What is going on here? Whats with all the decorations?” “It's for the presentation of the Luna before the pack.” She replied and I could feel a vein popping out on my forehead.The what?! “Explain” my voice is hard and as if she could sense my anger, she trembled in fear.“The elders organised it for the Luna to address herself in front of the packs Nd announce herself as your stand in until your doing better.” She trembled some more and I became aware of the fact that my anger was sleeping
Mima's POV“Urgh…” I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. I woke up to darkness.There was only a small light coming into the room from the small cracks in the wall. My head throbbed, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull.When I tried to move, I realized I couldn’t, my wrists were tied behind me and my ankles were bound to the legs of the chair. The ropes were tight, digging into my skin and making me wince as I pulled at it.The only sound I could hear was the pitter, patter of the rain on the roof of the building and a drip from a leaking ceiling. I inhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm. I need to be calm about this. Daggers. I needed my daggers.I twisted my arms, reaching for the familiar weight underneath my clothes, but it wasn’t there. My heart pounded. They had taken them. Whoever they were, they were smart enough to disarm me.I sighed to myself, thinking up possible ways to escape when I heard sounds of footsteps walking in my direction from in front of m
Mima’s POVI kept running.Branches lashed at my arms and face, but I didn’t stop. My heartbeat pounded in my ears, my lungs burned, and my legs ached from exhaustion.The forest stretched endlessly before me but I pushed forward. My chest was hurting and my breath came in ragged gasps, but I refused to slow down.Then suddenly, the ground beneath my feet vanished and I stumbled, my hands scraping against the slippery floor as I fought to regain balance. I felt a sharp sting in my palms, but I bit down my pain, forcing myself upright. I had no time to check the damage.I must have struck a pointy wood or something.I tried getting up again, only to slip and fall into some mud again so I exhaled, forcing my breathing to slow as I crept forward on all fours instead. I couldn’t afford to be reckless. If there were rogues in the area, I needed to stay hidden.One move, Then another.The forest was eerily silent now, the only sound was the faint rustling of the wind through the trees.Then
MIMA'S POV “Come out. Whoever you are.” I said, facing the direction of the bushes. I tightened my grip on my blade as the bushes rustled again. My body was tense, muscles tightened, ready to lash out if necessary.I didn't have any more strength, my breath kept coming out in gaps. I didn’t have time for distractions, yet here I was, staring down Kia’s sister and her mate as they stepped hesitantly from their hiding place.I arched a brow at them, unimpressed. “You were following me.”The woman swallowed, her mate stepping slightly in front of her as if to shield her from my irritation. “ We have been following you for a while. You just didn't notice. We saw you take out the shadows,” she admitted. “We want to fight on your side.”I exhaled sharply, narrowing my eyes. “And I’m just supposed to believe that? You kidnapped me!”She hesitated but held her ground, staring at me with begging eyes. She stepped forward and I took another one back, her mate walked in front of her to stop h
Mima's POV I walked back to the mansion and up to Rake's room, slumping on the bed with my arms spread out wide. My whole body ached and I haven't gotten a moment of rest since I got these powers from the goddess. It more of a blessing and a curse now. I got up and walked over to the bathroom. I stink and when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I looked like those witches from children's fairytales. No wonder everyone was staring at me.I turned the tab of the bathtub open and peeled off my clothes. I gently slid them off me and put my favourite bath bombs in the bath and took a dip. I let out a huge sigh once I was totally in and I closed my eyes.“I need to arrange my thoughts” I said to myself in a low voice. First off, how to help Rake…My mate… we haven't had the chance to spend time together for real since I got here. It's always been one issue or the other. How would I heal him? I need to find a way. The doctor said the pack's medicine and machines are g working a
Mima's POVIt was finally dinner time and the dining hall buzzed with murmurs as I walked towards it. When I stepped in, all eyes turned to me and their noises stopped “Good evening everyone.” Those who were seated were Zahra, Ria and Kian, Beck, Julia who kept fidgeting for some reason, Kia and Daria.“Good evening, Luna.” Beck and Daria replied. Zahra just nodded and Kia kept bouncing in his seat. Ria and Kian made eye contact with me and I nodded to them.Beck did a good job. Their dirty clothes were changed and they were in new attires. Ria kept staring at Kia who's seat was close to mine.I'm glad she's seated far from him for now. She mentioned that killing him will solve it all, even though she has agreed to be an ally, I still don't trust her. She could injure him when I'm not looking. “I have called you all here today to talk about something very important, or two important things that will affect our pack.” They nodded and I took my seat. “Let's have dinner first.” Da
Mima’s POVI sprinted after Julia, my heart pounding as her figure disappeared into the dimly lit corridors of the mansion. Footsteps echoed behind me, Zahra and Beck were close, but Julia was fast. Too fast.“She’s heading toward the east wing!” Beck shouted.I pushed harder, dodging a table as Julia turned a sharp corner. “Stop running, Julia!” I yelled, but she didn’t listen.She was running very fast for someone that was twice my age. She knew something. And if she was running, it meant she was guilty but a part of me couldn't accept that she was. I mean, this is Julia…The lady who helped me when Stephanie made my life hell. She couldn't be… Right?Or maybe she was just scared, scared of something even bigger.I turned the corner just in time to see her slip into a side passage, shoving open a door that led into the gardens.“She’s going outside!” Zahra growled.We burst through the doorway after her. The night air was cool against my skin, but I barely felt it. Julia was alread
You might think that things aren't just going well for now in your pack, but that's not it. They're in every sector and so far, we caught them in the most important sectors in our pack. The farm, the lab and the soldiers.”The room mumbled, each person looking more concerned than the last, except those two.“How can we believe what you are saying?” One of the Alphas ask.“I knew one of you would ask. I mean, you can't simply believe something this huge and serious without wanting proof.” Rake chuckled.He signalled to Beck and Beck walked out. He dragged in Ria.Stephanie's eyes went wide when she saw her but no one else noticed. Do they know each other?Dylan glanced at her and there is no form of recognition in his eyes.So Dylan is oblivious to the whole thing but Stephanie knows?“This here, is a woman that almost tricked us. We had other prisoners of these but they died before today for some weird reason that we are yet to figure out but my best bet is that they get killed when t
Mima's POVThe room went back into discussing with one another and seconds later the man stepped in with a smile on his face. Sheesh, he must really love his daughter. I thought to myself because this brooding man just freaking smiled. I turned to see Brent fidgeting where he stood. He looked like he was uneasy as if something was bothering him.I thought back to last night and maybe being in a room filled with couples was doing so well for him.I sighed as I called out to him."Brent? Are you okay?" His eyes turned to mine sharply and he visibly inhaled. His eyes darted around the room and he seemed to fidget the more. This made me ore worried. "Brent? Is everything alright?" My voice is slightly raised now and it alarms Rake. Rake turned to face us and raised his brow."What's wrong?" He asked me."I don't know. Brent is acting weird." The brooding man was still walking in with his daughter and she hasn't really fully entered the room yet so she wasn't noticeable to us. They w
Mima’s POVI was in my room, petting Kia's head as he laid on my lap. He wasn't too happy that we were busy all day and he had to spend the day at the farm during the meeting with Eve. I thought he wouldn't mind but apparently he prefers to be joined at my hip. Three knocks sounded at the door. "Come in." I called out and Beck walked in. "Hey." He said, guilty rubbing the back of his head as he approached me. I turned my face away from him. "Have all the guests gotten a room to stay in?" I asked."Yes, they have." "Good, you can leave." I told him, still angry at how he had been reacting for the past few days. He's either always angry at something and takes it out on others."I'm sorry... That's what I came here to say. I know I have been acting out of line. My anger has been really bad and..." He takes in a sharp breath. "I just wanted to apologize. I know how much you didn't like that." I turned to face him and looked away. I placed Kia on the bed and walked towards Beck with
Mima's POV “Maybe we should just make lines in front of Rake and I? Men to him. Women to me. Is that fine with everyone?” I asked and they nodded. Stephanie still looked so uncomfortable sitting there. Plus, I found that black pendant in the place she kidnapped me. So she probably knows something about them right? Let's not forget the suspicious people she wanted to sell Zahra to and why Kia was afraid of her.What are you hiding. Stephanie?” I thought as I stared intently at her.“Okay, Alpha's to me. Luna's to my Luna.” Rake repeated and they all got up walking towards the both of us.I seeped my powers into the gloves and got ready to attend to them.“Stephanie.” I called out to her and she flinched. Even Dylan was looking at her weirdly. “Ye–yes?” She replied, trying to look as normal as possible but faking it to that extent isn't fooling anybody. “Why don't you come up first?” “No, no. Let everyone else go first.” She pushed on but I just shook my head laughing.“ If you hav
Mima's POV "Beck!" I yelled out to him, storming into the room with Rake and Zahra close behind.Beck didn’t even flinch. He held Dylan by the collar, lifting him slightly off the floor, his canines bared and his eyes glowing with rage. Dylan, to his credit, didn’t look scared, just annoyed and slightly amused?"Let. Him. Go." I repeated, louder this time, stepping between the two.Beck looked at me and sighed before slowly letting Dylan go and stepping back.“What is wrong with you?” I yelled at Beck but he scrunched up his face and turned away from me.In the corner of my eyes, I see Stephanie running up to Dylan and touching him as a form of comfort but Dylan shrugged her off. Stephanie tried to hide the embarrassment she felt but I was pretty sure that everyone in the room had already seen it. “Can someone explain what the hell is going on or was going on?” Rake asked and one of the men that was part of those trying to separate them spoke up.“Alpha Dylan here thought it was wr
Mima's POV As Zahra closed the door behind us, I gently placed my hands on the woman's chest. My powers stirred, responding to the urgency of the situation. I focused my energy, and a soft, golden glow emanated from my palms as I closed my eyes to concentrate. The woman's wounds began to heal and she stopped coughing.Good, it's working. I focused more and I could feel myself getting weaker. We need information and I had already promised her husband that she'll be healed. I needed to honour that at least. After a while, I could feel that she was better so I stepped back and opened my eyes.The woman's breathing was even now and she looked better."Thank goddess," Zahra whispered, letting out a breath, her eyes fixed on the woman. She must have felt just as burdened as I was.I nodded, my gaze still on our patient. "We need to find out more about her involvement with the Shadows. See if we can extract any information before..."The woman's eyes fluttered open, and she gazed up at u
Mima's POV Maybe it's just me reading into it. So I decided to ignore them.“Now, we have discovered that extreme heat can reveal these people to us. You would never have guessed how many packs that they have infiltrated or how they're ruining your system.” “You might think that things aren't just going well for now in your pack, but that's not it. They're in every sector and so far, we caught them in the most important sectors in our pack. The farm, the lab and the soldiers.” The room mumbled, each person looking more concerned than the last, except those two.“How can we believe what you are saying?” One of the Alphas ask.“I knew one of you would ask. I mean, you can't simply believe something this huge and serious without wanting proof.” Rake chuckled. He signalled to Beck and Beck walked out. He dragged in Ria. Stephanie's eyes went wide when she saw her but no one else noticed. Do they know each other? Dylan glanced at her and there is no form of recognition in his eyes.
Mima's POV I laughed a little, tryongt o lighten the mood but she just looked down on me the more.“Are you sure you are really the Luna? I'm not getting that vibe from you.” She continued.Her husband doesn't do anything to stop his wife's running mouth and extremely terrible attitude. Instead, he just stood there licking his lips, still while staring at me.I opened my mouth to speak when I felt a presence behind me.“Is anything going on here?” Rake asked. Pinning the man with his eyes in place.The wife blushed? What the hell?Why is she blushing while staring at my mate? My wolf surfaced and I let out a low growl making all eyes turn to me.The woman covered her mouth and widened her eyes like she met with a filthy animal.“Oh my. What uncouth behaviour. Am I right?” She leaned away from her husband and closer to Take touching his arm.I touched her arm and squeezed and she flinched. I let my nails dig into her flesh and she pulled her hand back so fast like she got stung. “Ex
Mima's POV I watched her turn the corner and I did too.“Ria, stop. Now!” I yelled at her but she doesn't stop. Instead. She increased her speed. She ran out of the dungeons Andi's almost out when I'm close and grab her hair in my hands and pulling her back.She stumbled backwards falling on to me as we both fell down the stairs. “Fuck.” I quickly caught my footing and stabilised myself, pulling her towards me and stoping our fall.“Well, well, well. Look who it is.” I said, staring down at her while trying to catch my breath. “I am not saying anything.” She blurted out, trying to escape from the strong grip that I had her in.“We'll see about that.” I spat and she turned her face away from mine.“Where is Kian?” I asked her and I noticednher expression shifting as her eyes glazes over. Is she pulling an act in front of me? She refused to answer my question as she just stood there with sad eyes and not bothering to struggle anymore against my hold. What has gotten into her? Zah
