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 POVI flinched turning away from the door as I walked into the room. I had to read it, my mind was clouded with one thought and one thought only, open the paper. In that moment, my fingers buckled tight as I fought back the urge to see what was actually written on it I couldn't give myself a moment of respite until I saw whatever it was. A small crinkling sound follows as I opened the paper and to my greatest surprise I saw, Nothing. The paper was empty, and I stared blankly into it until frustration washed over me. How would was I suppose to find who sent those pictures now? I frowned and let out a small shout in frustration, I had simply wasted my precious sanity on some blank paper. I hissed again and spun around immediately I heard the door creak open and then instinctively tucked the paper away by hurrying towards my bed and stuffing it underneath the mattress. Zahra was the first person to meet my eyes and it was clear that she understood what I've just done.
Mima's POV “Now, shall we get started?” The moon goddess swooped her hands and black swirled around and the black soldiers appeared again, this time more strong than before. “Now my dear, you need to look within… there is a new power in you. Your levitation, you can link it with something else. You just need to figure out what it is. What comes to your mind when you're fueled with anger? Think, my dear.”I closed my eyes and imagined all the things that have happened to me. The death of my brother plays over and over again in my head. The death of my mum, how I was beaten over and over again by Stephanie. Everything… Anger coursed my veins and my eyes snapped open.“Good dear. You have unlocked it”.I didn't feel any different but what did she mean? The black soldiers immediately ran towards me. Their speed, faster than before. She must have upped their rank because I need to get strong faster. One comes in view and I just instinctively slam my hand into his chest, he flies backwa
Mima's POV “I'm so useless, Mima. I couldn't even help you. I couldn't help Rake. I should be the one in his place but he's there injured and I'm here with just light injuries.” “Rake stop. I don't need this from you right now. Just because you had minimal injuries compared to Rake had doesn't lessen what you went through. You just went through enough as he did. It wasn't your fault that they took you put first to put Rake at a disadvantage. More than being angry at you, I'm angry at Rake he didn't reach out to me when he could have.”Rake looked at me suspiciously. “ How would he be able to do that? You both haven't mated yet.” Confusion filled his expression.“That's true, we haven't but Rake gavee this necklace.” I pulled it out from under the neckline of my gown. “He said he would be able to communicate with me through it. He could have told me. I would have brought men to come and help you guys.” Beck nodded in understanding, amused at the necklace and then he smiled a little.
Mima's POV Did they need to make such a big fuss about all this? Rake isn't dead so what's the meaning of this huge celebration like someone's getting married or someone is having a child?I stopped one of the maids and asked what's going on just to be sure. “It's for the Luna's swearing in. I can't wait to meet her.” The bubbly little girl said and I just shook my head. I dismissed her and she walked away, going to carry another tray of flowers. Could this get any worse? Disgust filled me as I thought of how the elders were acting like I am here to fully take over Rake's place. What do they take me for? Some sort of airhead that they will use to project what they want on the pack? I wouldn't let them succeed in whatever foolery that they're trying too pull.I was about to walk over to one of the elders when I spotted a shadow in the corner of my eye that disrupts my course of thinking. I remembered that Kia is still holding on to my hands so I look down to him. “Why don't you g
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
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
