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
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
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
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
The dining room was alive with laughter, the clinking of plates, and the faint melody of my mother humming as she set down another dish. The table was laid out perfectly, just like she always did, even for small family dinners. Except this one wasn’t a small family dinner, It was my birthday.“Nineteen,” my father said, his deep voice with a mix of pride as he poured himself a glass of wine. “Hard to believe you’re not a pup anymore.”“I haven’t been a pup for years, dad,” I replied, grinning at him as I reached for another slice of cake.“You’ll always be my pup,” he said, ruffling my hair before taking a seat at the head of the table.I rolled my eyes at him, stuffing my face with cake. Beside me, my brother, Damon stuffed his face with a cinnamon roll, ignoring the amused look my mother shot him. “If you’re going to eat like that,” my mother teased, “you might as well shift into your wolf. At least then you’d have an excuse.”Damon swallowed with a grin “The food’s too good, mum.

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“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
