Mima's POV

Rake carried me out of the main building, and I was about to take a turn when I spotted Julia in the crowd of people looking at us.

“Julia!” I screamed as I leapt off his arms and ran towards her. Her arms were already outstretched for me to hug and that, I did.

I held her so tight that she burst out laughing about how I was suffocating her.

“Julia, he says he's my mate. Can you believe that?” I said, still surprised and in shock that I had a second chance mate.

“Yes, dear. I believe him. You are a gem, the goddess wouldn't punish a lovely soul like yours by not giving you a better option.” Julia said as she slowly let go of me and dragged me to Rake. He stood there staring at us while we spoke.

Julia held out his hand and linked mine with his. I felt a warm sensation when she did that made my tummy feel fuzzy and warm.

“I might not be her mother or even her guardian but in the short while that she has been here with me, I have loved her just like my own. Please take care o

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 22: NO AIR

    Mima's POVThe room was wide with a queen sized bed at the centre. It had light blue walls and faux vines hung from the ceilings. I walked in in awe at how beautiful the room was. I turned to see Daria staring at me with a big smile.“Alpha Rake always made sure the room was kept tidy. He said it was his other half. I hope it is to your liking.”“It's .. beautiful. Thank you.”“Oh don't thank me, thank him. He picked everything out. Who knew you'd come a lot sooner than we thought. I am glad you're here.” She chuckled.She is glad that I am here? Is she for real?“I will take my leave now.” Daria walked away and shut the door behind her.I walked towards the huge wardrobe in the room. I was in shock at how many dresses and dress pants were there. From blouses to gowns to jackets and even coats for the winter. I took a light blue dress and walked towards the bathroom to get changed.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myselfThe person that looked back at me was not who I was

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 23: LEARNING TO BREATHE AGAIN

    Mima's POV “Do you think he took you away to save you from us? You would never be free from us. You would forever be nothing. Just a cast-aside mate of Dylan's” Stephanie circled me as she taunted me; her venomous smirk made me shiver. All of a sudden, I was back in the dungeons, chained to the wall. I snapped my eyes open. My chest was heaving and I was drenched in sweat. I frantically looked around and realised that I wasn't in my old room. The bed beneath me was soft. I wasn’t used to this kind of comfort. For a moment, I just lay there, my eyes tracing the ceiling. The room was extremely beautiful. It looked like the kind I had always disturbed my dad for, back home. Dad… I turned my face into the pillows and held my breath trying to force down the memory of the day I lost my family. It still didn’t feel real that they were gone. They were all gone and I was the only one left. I should have died that night too. I sat up slowly, my fingers curling around the b

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 24: THE WEIGHT OF HIS ACTIONS

    Rake's POV The border was quiet, unnervingly so. The trees stood still and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming. The kind of silence that makes your skin itch and your instincts sharp. I paced the edge, running a hand through my hair, trying to focus. I was pulled in too many directions. The responsibilities of leadership, the pack’s safety, and... Mima. I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her. Her confusion was the way she looked at me like she didn’t know if she should trust me or run. Every time I told myself I was just doing what had to be done, I’d find myself second-guessing. I couldn’t ignore the way she seemed to fit with me, in a way I hadn’t expected. "Rake." I turned at the sound of my name. Bastian, one of my closest warriors, approached me, his expression grim. "Any sign of them?" I asked. "Not yet. But there one of the wolves picked up on their scent. They're not too far from here." I nodded. I had already sensed the same thing. "Get

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 25: WORLD OUTSIDE THE ROOM

    Mima’s POV “Luna.” I froze at the soft, respectful voice calling me from behind. I kept walking away, they must be referring to someone else. It wasn't till I felt a hand on my shoulder that made me jump that I realised I was the one being called and referred to as Luna. I stiffened instinctively. The title of Luna still felt too big for me. It still felt like something I wasn’t ready for. When I turned, I found a man with dark, intense eyes and a stature that spoke of strength. His face was calm and he had a small smile on his face. “I’m Beck, the beta of the pack. I think I must have startled you,” he looked at me sheepishly, scratching his head as he looked at me. “Beck,” I said, forcing my voice to remain steady. “I’m... not used to this.” He smiled. “I understand. You really just only got here” I nodded, unsure of what else to say. My feet shifted on the ground, restless as I stared at anything but him. “I’ve never been a part of a pack like this.” “I know,” Bec

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 26: THE SHADOWS OF NIGHT

    Mima's POV I kept running, they kept chasing me. I was in the woods at night alone, the trees twisted and gnarled, stretching like dark, skeletal hands reaching for me. The moon above was blood red, casting an eerie glow across the forest floor. My feet slipped on the damp earth, as I pushed forward, trying to outrun the shadows that seemed to close in with each breath. I turned back to check if my attackers were still there, and like I guessed, they were. Hooded men, their faces hidden in darkness, moved with unnatural speed. And trailing behind them, Shadows. Shapes that seemed to writhe as if they were made of pure night. Dark figures that were neither fully human nor fully beast, their eyes glowing with a hunger that made my skin crawl. The growl rumbled through the trees, low and menacing. I could feel it deep in my chest, like it was coming for me, stalking me. My breath hitched, and I forced myself to keep running, but the branches of the trees seemed to tangle together

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 27: THE MASTER'S INTENT

    Mima's POV I woke up in a dimly lit chamber. I groggily turned my head to look around. Where was I? Where was Rake? Then suddenly, the memories flooded back. I was kidnapped from my room by that strong stranger. I attempted to move but had to stop as I hissed out in pain. I looked down to see that my hands and legs were bound by a strange dark purple glowing metal that hummed quietly with magic. The air was stale making it hard to breathe. My senses were still disoriented when I heard footsteps from my left. “You're awake.” The person said with a dark chuckle. It was the same man that was in my room. He abducted me. “The master would soon be here to see you. Make sure you're on your best behaviour.” His low laughter infuriated me. He slammed the doors as he walked out of the room. One glance at the chains and I was thrown back into the memories of when I was kept like this in Dylan's pack for days. I was facing the same date here. Why was my life so difficult? Fat te

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 28: THE SACRIFICE

    Mima’s POV A cold, damp chill clung to my skin as my eyes fluttered open. The scent of burning wax and blood filled my nose. Candle flames danced wildly, casting twisted shapes across the chamber. I was lying on a raised stone platform, my arms and legs restrained by heavy iron chains with spikes that dug into my skin when I moved. Blinking against the dim light, my gaze trailed across the room. At the far end, an altar stood, stained dark with what I didn’t want to guess. A massive, ancient-looking book lay open beside it, its pages yellowed and curling at the edges. Symbols, etched in something deep red, covered the surface, pulsing faintly as if they were alive. Then I saw them. A ring of twelve figures stood around me, their long black cloaks blending seamlessly into the shadows. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but I could feel their eyes watching me. Behind them, separated from the rest, was a thirteenth figure clad in red. Unlike the others, his presence

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 29: THE RESCUE

    Rake's POV I could feel the rage burning in my chest. The moment Mima was taken, I went wild. I didn’t think so. Didn’t plan. I just moved, tearing through the castle, demanding answers that no one could give me. My wolf pushed at my skin, clawing to get out, and I let him... just a little. The memory of her voice screaming out my name before she disappeared right in front of me kept playing over and over in my head. The figure that held on to her, I would find him and snap his neck. I seethed. I needed to find her. I needed to make sure she was okay. My mind wouldn’t let go of the fear that gripped me when I realized she was gone. Tracking the remnants of the portal took longer than I’d hoped, the researchers group in my pack found it difficult to determine what kind of transportation stone it was and where the destination was. Since I also hadn't marked Mima, I couldn't talk to her through the mind link. I rubbed my forehead soothing the headache I was having. Mate.

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 89: REVELING THE SPIES

    Mima's POV It's the next person's turn and like the other, he attacked first rushing towards me with his fists balled. I knelt down, doing the same move as earlier and punching him.Moving him slightly backwards. He winced from the hit but regained his composure immediately. He came at me again but this time. I just held his hand and slowed the speed of his punch that was supposed to come at me. I imbued my powers in my palms to make it hot and he didn't flinch from it. I tried harder but he didn't show any reaction.“You too. Move to the right. Who's next?” I said to the line and another man stepped forward.This went on for a while and I was starting to think I was mistaken when the man I was holding jumped back, screaming.“You—” he looked at me with so much hatred in his eyes and I finally smirked.I pointed at two men from the right that I had cleared before. “Hold him.” They rushed out and held him down to the ground, watching him struggle. Three others from the line took th

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 88: TESTING THE SOLDIERS

    Mima's POVWe walked back into the Arena with the guard behind us. “I was waiting for you.” Rake said but I just ignored him.“Why aren't you talking to me?” “Oh, now you're seriously asking me that? After you turned a deaf ear to me pleading for the life of the elders? I knew that they didn't do too well or even do good by disobeying you but taking their life is just too cruel of a punishment to give.” “Mima, please. They deserve this.” He replied and I just couldn't tell if this was the man I was falling in love with.Wait … what did I just say? I'm in love with Rake? I felt a blush crept up my cheeks and he looked puzzled staring at me.“I wouldn't sit here and watch you take innocent people's lives”. I stood up and walked away and Take rushed to grab my hand and spun me around, pulling me to his chest. “Fine, I'll do anything to make you happy.” And he pecked my forehead.“Release them.” He yelled and everyone turned to face him with wide eyes. “Throw them in the dungeons in

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 87: BEST FRIENDS

    Mima's POV The whole pack sat at the designated seats for the crowd while the elders in front were paraded in chains. I could hear wailing from some people in the crowd but I chose to ignore them because if I looked at them I would have sympathy for all the things that the elders have done so far. I knew they would be the family members, their wives, husbands and possibly daughters and sons. None of them have the heart to challenge their Alpha.I felt bad about the whole thing so I turned it to Rake to see if I could beg on behalf of the elders, but the expression on his face told me to just mind my words and be quiet.The soldiers stepped out holding swords and spears, walking towards the elders one by one and standing in front of them. I liked at their faces one by one and took a breathe of relief when I found out that Rake's aunt wasn't included.“Rake.” I tapped Rake to get his attention. “Don't you think we should spare these people? I mean they made mistakes and anyone can

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 86: THE PUBLIC ADDRESS

    Mima's POV We kissed for a while and then pulled back to stare at each other, placing our foreheads together. “Do the elders know that you're awake now?” I asked Rake. “No, they have no idea. I have told Beck to rally up the elders and the soldiers and also the people of the pack. If the elders want a public announcement… then that is what we're going to give them. I just need you to be strong for me.” I looked at him with a playful glint. “Who do you think has been helping you these days to take care of the pack huh?” I hit him on the shoulder and got out of bed, rushing up to the bathroom before he could catch me.He laughs lightly, remembering that Kia is sleeping in bed and I just smile at him before I disappear behind the doors. I take my time washing up, while humming a tune. I needed to get stronger. Those words kept ringing in my head. I don't know how long Take would be able to survive in a real battle against the shadows. I am the only one that can fight them and win…

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 85: BRING THE CHILD WITH YOU

    Mima's POV I rushed out of the hospital and back to the pack house. “What's wrong with him?” I asked Zahra but her face was scrunched up in confusion and fear. “I don't know… I just went up to check up on him after the whole stuff, he hasn't really been coming out. He preferred to stay in your room locked. I tried to reach him many times to let me in but he never did.” Feat gripped my heart as I ran up the stairs harder.“So how? what the hell is wrong then?” I screamed at her.“I don't fucking know. I just had a maid run up to me that something is wrong with Kia. I didn't know what to do or anything but to come and get you. I really don't understand what's going on. You're keeping things from me and now this…”I felt guilty for keeping things from her especially about my powers but there was nothing much that I could do. I didn't want to tell her yet. I just…We finally got to Rake's room and slammed to e door open to see Kia folded up like a ball on the bed. His body is still an

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 84: HEALING AND SECRETS

    Mima’s POVI placed my hands over Rake’s chest, feeling the faint warmth of his skin.His breathing was shallow and rigid.Mima, you can do this. I told myself over and over in my head.“Mima what are you doing?” Zahra asked, confusion laced in her tone but I didn't reply, I just stayed still with my hands still over his chest. I heard the door open and closed as another set of footsteps joined us.“Thankfully you're here. Maybe you'll try to talk some sense into her.” Zahra said with a huff.“What is she doing? Shouldn't she be resting?” Beck replies to her. He was the one that walked in.“Luna, please you need rest just as much as Rake does. We'll find a way for him to get better. You don't have to worry. You just need to be at ease so please-” “Enough! The both of you. I don't want to hear a word.” I let out. My throat hurt as I spoke but I needed them to be quiet.The Goddess had shown me how to heal, how to turn my power into something that could save instead of destroy. But n

    Mima’s POV“Mima.”I gasped, my eyes snapping open.I wasn’t in the gardens anymore.I was standing in a vast, endless space. The sky above me was painted in shifting hues of silver and gold, and beneath my feet was nothing but swirling light.And in front of me, standing in all her divine radiance, was her.The Moon Goddess.I was in her realm again…Her piercing white eyes met mine, her flowing silver hair cascading like a river of stardust. She stood tall, regal, yet there was something gentle about the way she looked at me.I swallowed hard as I remembered the fight I just had. “The shadows,” I said quickly. “Viktor’s men. They attacked. They almost took Kia. They, they—.”The Goddess nodded, her expression unreadable. “I know.”I frowned. “Then why didn’t you do something? You’re the Moon Goddess! You could’ve—”“I did not intervene,” she interrupted smoothly, “because you needed to see it for yourself.”“I needed to see for myself? Are you kidding me?” I screamed at her. “You a

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 82: INTO THE DARKNESS

    Mima’s POVJulia’s figure disappeared into the dense trees, her panicked footsteps crunching against the forest floor and Kian ran after her too. The man who called her “mate” and who I suspect was really her mate didn’t chase after her immediately. Instead, he turned his piercing gaze to me as an amused smile spread across his scarred face.“She won’t get far,” he murmured. “But you… you’re something special, aren’t you?”The men behind him in their shadow-like state shifted. What is up with them being in this form? They weren't like the usual werewolves. Was this a secret of theirs that Julia was aware of? Something wasn’t right.“Zahra, Beck—” I started, but I didn’t get to finish.Because the shadows attacked.One of the shadowed figures lunged at Beck. He dodged, pulling out his blade, but the moment his weapon made contact, the figure melted into smoke, then reformed behind him.These ones seemed more stronger than the ones I fought because I could land a hit or is there a tr

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 81: A CONERED TRUTH

    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
