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
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
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…
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
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
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

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
