Mima's POV“Mimaaa” he ran into me and held me tightly. I simped as I ruffled his hair and carried him in my arms. Kia should be around 5/6 years old with his stature now. He was so skinny when we found him weeks ago and I'm glad he's eating well now.“So, like I said Kia. I'd like to ask you something.”He nodded enthusiastically at me and smiled at me.“Do you remember any woman in the lab being nice to you?” The smile fell so quickly from his face.I went silent for a while so I sat on the bed and repositioned him on my lap. Tell me… do you remember anyone like that?Kia nodded and then he spoke. “She wasn't entirely nice to us but she was slightly better than the rest. She wouldn't hit us, she wouldn't inject us or force disgusting-tasting drugs down our throats, but she never did anything to help us when the others did.”I began to draw circles on his back to calm him down. “what did she do there then?”“She took notes.”“Notes?”“Yes. She was always writing things down, and she
Mima's POVZahra had not come out of her room in days. Everyone was worried about her but we couldn't do much. She was always the kind to throw herself away and suddenly come back all better.Something was strange.The past few days, I noticed something.Julia. She would be sneaking around or looking behind her back. She would always go to the garden at the back of the house and stay there for a while.I initially thought that she was gardening or something or that she just wanted to be alone, but what was more surprising was when I went to her room the other day to invite her to tea.She slammed the door in my face when I tried to walk in and opened it a minute after, apologizing that her room was rough and that she didn't want me to see it.I didn't want to dwell on it because she had helped me so much in the past so I don't say anything about it.But today, I decided to see her to talk about it. What if she was going through something terrible but thought that she had burdened us e
Mima's POVRake wasn't in his office when I got there so I looked for him everywhere but I couldn't find him.“Sorry, excuse me. Do you know where Rake is?”The maid pointed towards the sparring yard and bowed before walking away.I spot him immediately as I step into the yard. He's shirtless, and his muscles bulge as he goes into a fighting stance.He tackled his opponent swiftly and slammed him to the floor, making his victory easy. His opponent was writhing in pain on the floor when Rake looked up.A smile graced his lips immediately he saw me and he smiled.“Rake, watch out.” His opponent used that small distraction to tackle Rake to the ground and now they're both on the ground.I laughed at his shocked expression before he got up, wished his opponent a good game and walked towards me.“Hi.” He said, looking at me as we walked towards the pack house. He was sweaty and dusty and needed a good shower.We talked about everything and anything before we finally got to his room. I stoo
Mima's POV“It's a necklace,” I said, staring at a blue-marbled necklace with a gold chain. He got me a necklace. A very beautiful one.I looked up at him and smiled. “What made you get me a necklace? There's no big eventAlthough I am grateful. Thank you.” I hugged him and he hugged my back, placing a kiss on my forehead.“You really wanna know why I got it for you?” I nodded and he smiled.“It has another purpose other than adding to your already beautiful self. I got it because since we can't mate yet and the mate bond helps us to understand our feelings and emotions and even find each other when we're in trouble, I decided to get it for you.”“I actually got it made for you. I know someone. Childhood friends owed me a favour, and I cashed it in weeks ago. The necklace would help me know where you are. I have a similar pair but mine is just a plain one. I made yours beautiful, just like you.”I blushed and he went ahead to show me his necklace. Like he said, it's just plain and doe
Lacy's POVThat night I appeared back in the Moon goddess' world. She was sitting on her usual stone and staring into space when I appeared. I was confused. It didn't seem like she called me, so what was I doing here?“What are you doing here child?”“I have an Idea, too... how did I get here?”She moved to where I stood and placed a finger on my forehead, and I woke up. I looked around the room and saw that I was in the new room that Rake and I had.My room was getting remodelled and I didn't want to stay there anymore. Too many bad memories and Rake's room had just as bad memories now...I looked to his side to see him asleep with his hand under my head.I stared at the ceiling willing myself to sleep again.When I did, I was back in the goddess' lair. “What the–”The moon goddess looked at me confused.She moved towards me again, but this time, she didn't put her finger on my forehead. She just looks at the mark on my shoulder.It was glowing... I didn't even notice it.“Your power
Lacy's POVI was taking a walk in the gardens when I spotted a Gray Wolf.It was limping and it was struggling to walk. It had not noticed my presence so I just observed it from afar.The Gray Wolf then fell to the floor and started crying out in pain, so I ran to it.When it saw me, it narrowed its eyes, and suddenly, it wasn't there anymore, and neither was I.I saw myself in a dark forest surrounded by tall, scary-looking trees.I looked around but there was no one there. “Hello? Anyone there?”I heard a screeching sound and when I turned around, I saw a monstrous creature looking at me so I began to run.“Mima, are you okay?” Rake was concerned as he stared down at me.I was sweating and my chest was heaving.It was a nightmare, that's all it was.“I had a nightmare,” I whispered.Rake didn't say anything, he just stared off into space.He pulled me into his arms and whispered calming words into my ears. He got out of bed and put on a shirt and then held out his hand to me.I got
Mima's POV I rushed to Beck's side and helped him carry Rake to the clinic without saying a word. Immediately we stepped in, all the nurses and doctors ran around frantically to get him a room and set up his treatment. How was he wounded this badly? What happened? “Brent... what happened?” Beck didn't say anything. He just stares off into space after dropping Rake on the bed, and the nurses are attending to him. He's a lycan for crying out loud. He was stronger than us werewolves, so how and was he this badly injured? “Sir, please follow me so that I can bandage you up.” Beck followed the nurse mindlessly, and I had no way of getting my answers since the two attacked people were out of it. Rake was badly injured. He had a bloodied face, his arms were bruised and he had cuts littering his skin. “Luna, please step outside.” “No. I'm not going anywhere.” “Luna, please we need to perform operations on him immediately. His wolf is taking too slow to heal and we don't want him to go
Mima's POV“What is the reason for this meeting if I may ask?”The strict, old-looking man stood up and spoke.“This might come off as us being inconsiderate of the Alpha but we need someone to take over his office while he is in Coma.”I nodded and understood what he meant... what they all meant. They wanted me to step up and take His place while he was in a Coma. Usually I could suggest Beck but he was also badly injured and I'm not sure he would be able to come to office in a while.“Is that all?” I asked. That couldn't possibly be all. He could have just mentioned it to me in passing at the hospital if it was.“You would have to present yourself to the pack as Rake's mate.” He said, staring intently at me to gauge my reaction.They're finally getting what they want. They always wanted me to introduce myself to the pack as Rake's mate. I bow my head to contemplate it.“And if I refuse? I can take over his work from the office without having to introduce myself.”A woman sitting not
Mima's POV "I work for those that kidnapped you." She said.Her reply shocked me. I would have never thought that those are the people she worked for. "I don't understand..." I commented and she looked at me with empty eyes. "I'm not human. I at least was truthful in that part. Viktor and his people made me. Those people are also Viktor's people but they want the woman in the prophecy for different reasons." "What are their reason?" I asked and she seemed sceptical to tell me."Viktor wants the powers for himself. He wants to take the power for him while the others want to sacrifice her to their God for them all to have more powers. So it's more like one wants all for himself and the others want for themselves." I nodded understanding what she meant. So I was basically in trouble from two groups then. "Do the sacrificial people know?" I asked her."Know about what?" She replied, looking confused. "About Viktor's plans." "They don't... I don't know how Viktor convinced them tha
Mima's POV Her body shook as she vigorously shook her head. I looked to one of the guards, give me the key to her cell.He nodded and began to go through his keys."NO." She yelled. "Don't let that psycho bitch in here. She would kill me." She said, seeming hysterical.She stood up and rushed to the end of the gate of her cell, closer to where the guard was. "You can't do it. She'll kill me. See what she did to my hand." She raised her hand, shoving it in his face but the guard did pay mind to her still shuffling for the keys.She grabbed him and he turned quickly, raised the stun gun I didn't know he was holding and zapped her."Stay back you dirty bitch." He said, a little undertone of amusement in his voice.All I saw was red.Before I knew it, I was in front of him and slapped him across the face eating gasps from the other inmates."Who the hell legalised stun guns for you in the prison cell? Aren't the silver coated chains and the guns in your hands enough for you? And those a
Mima's POV "Yeah..." I replied to her.She looked around in shock and I could tell that she was panicking. "Calm down, please Bri." I called out to her but she wasn't paying any attention to me. Beck, rose from his crouched position and placed his paw on her hand and she turned sharply to him. She smiled at him and placed her other hand over her chest, slowly calming down. "So these shadows... What do they do? Like what are the capable of?" She asked."Well, from all the spies that we have caught so far, we noticed that they're visisbly stronger that werewolves. The spies aren't as strong as the soldiers we fought off the other day though but they're stronger than the average werewolf so imagine how strong the soldiers would be." This freaked her out and I could recognise the girlish side in her under her gothic outfit. "So... What about how I felt towards him?" She mentioned and it didn't take me long to think that one through."I was kidnapped once. By a bunch that I think are
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
