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

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

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
Last Updated : 2025-02-05The 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
Last Updated : 2025-02-07The 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
Last Updated : 2025-02-08The 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
Last Updated : 2025-02-09The 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.

Rake’s POVI didn’t leave her side. Not for a moment.When I brought Mima back to the pack house, I laid her in my bed. The healer examined her, but there was nothing to explain what had happened. No marks, no wounds. Her skin was smooth. She only had chars on her but after cleaning her up, she was fine. But something inside me screamed that something had changed.I paced the room, my wolf anxious, pushing against my chest. Something was wrong. I couldn’t place it, but I could feel it, her scent had altered. I could put my finger on it but I just knew that something was not the same anymore.The pack was restless. The warriors muttered behind my back, questioning what had happened, why she was taken and why she returned to this state. They were already suspicious of the state she was in when I brought her in, but now, they're more curious.They wanted answers I didn’t have. I couldn’t give them answers because I didn’t understand this either.“Stay away,” I snapped when one of the war

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
The Chosen One Chapter 115 SCENT?
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
The Chosen One Chapter 114: WELCOMING AS A FATHER.
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
The Chosen One Chapter 113: INVINCIBLE TEARS
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
The Chosen One Chapter 112 BETTER FIX UP
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
The Chosen One Chapter 111: A FIGHT IN THE MEETING ROOM
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
The Chosen One Chapter 110: COUGHED UP BLOOD
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.
The Chosen One Chapter 109: ALLERGIES
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
The Chosen One Chapter 108: WELCOMING THE PACKS.
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
