CHAPTER 9.Megan’s POV. I thought I was dead because the last thing I remembered was the feeling of drowning, the world slipping away from me. The pain I had felt before I fell unconscious wasn’t left out. But as I opened my eyes, The rays of the moon shone brightly on my face, causing me to blink rapidly. I gasped loudly when I noticed how long I stayed unconscious. I was knocked out in the evening….and it’s late at night now. I had to readjust myself on the bed, and I groaned slightly when I felt pains all over. Then the blurry image of Khalid saving me surfaced in my mind, and a sharp pain accompanied the memory.“Why did he save me?” I rolled my eyes, completely confused by the fact that he saved me. The fact that Khalid saved me was shocking because it was obvious that he hated me, so he could have just let me die peacefully. I breathed deeply and looked around the room, with wonder!I wondered how I managed to get here, and who must have brought me here. My heart beat i
Chapter 10. Khalid’s POV. I sighed deeply as I quickly left my room, and went straight to the room I had laid her earlier, just to meet an empty room. I glanced at the bed, and also met it empty. Not only that, but I quickly turned and ordered the maid to get a guard for me. I was shocked and scared to the extent that I couldn’t move. I froze on my spot, still looking around in shock. “Why did she go?” I couldn’t help but ask myself. I was still lost in thoughts that I didn’t know when the guard suddenly appeared. “Your highness,” He called loudly, and I jolted back to reality, facing him instantly. “You sent for me,” He added, and I nodded quickly. “Get the rest of the guards ready, and find her now!!” I ordered, and he looked at me confusingly. I was so worried about Megan, that I got easily pissed at that moment. “What is it?” I asked the moment I noticed that he still stood there, probably waiting for a more detailed explanation. “What are you waiting for?” I barked a
Chapter 11Khalid’s POV. Before she fainted, I felt something….An overwhelming connection between us during her transformation. I couldn't help but feel the powerful connection between us, like an electric current pulsing through my veins. It was more like a bond between us, and I stared at her in shock. My heart raced as I made the split-second decision to knock out the wolf, which was already berserk. I knew I needed to do it to make her free….Megan was tired, and she fainted due to the pains she went through, so knocking out the wolf was the right thing I needed to do that instant. In a swift move, I landed a firm blow, causing the massive beast to collapse, transforming back into the woman he had just been with moments ago. Megan!As I caught my breath, I began to perceive something!A familiar scent! I looked around desperate to know where the scent was coming from, but to my shock and surprise—it was coming from Megan. The scent of the man I have been searching for all
Chapter 12Aaron’s POV. I sat on a chair all alone in my large office, as my eyes darted to the clock which was hung at the corner of the office. I yawned loudly and suddenly the stone necklace I wore on my neck glowed brightly before it broke into pieces and disappeared from my view, making me gasp in shock. I froze on a spot as I felt my eyes widen.....“There’s no way this could happen!” I clenched my fists tightly as I stared at the spot the pieces fell on the floor, before it disappeared. “Where was she?” “Who did this?” I asked no one in particular. “So the seal has been broken?” I smirked, as I played with my fingers absentmindedly. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that the seal I had put on my adopted daughter had been broken. I had put the seal on her so her real self could be hidden from her, and so she doesn’t find out who exactly she was. Just for the necklace in which I hid the seal to be broken!“So everything I’ve hidden for years—has just been revealed,” I thoug
CHAPTER 13KHALID’S POV. I furrowed my brows as I stared at the Physician. I was obviously confused and surprised by what he said.“How come there are other things I don’t know?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as I sighed slowly. “Why are you hiding the truth from me in the first place, when you know it’s still related to me,” I said, frowning, and he simply shrugged. “You need not be faster than your shadows, your highness….” He said slyly, as I stared at him intently. He chuckled and continued, “You managed to figure out the most important things yourself….so whenever the time is right, you’ll figure things out yourself,” The was Physician explained, but I was not having it. “What does he mean?” “That I sit quietly and watch things go haywire while I do nothing?” I spat angrily, and he breathed deeply, and began to pack his bags. That was when I paid attention to him and noticed that he was done treating Megan and she slept peacefully.A light smile crept on my face as I s
CHAPTER 14Author’s POV. “What?” They all gasped in shock, staring at Khalid intently. Khalid just sighed and walked towards his seat, with his head bowed. “What did you just say, your highness?” They asked in unison, and Khalid simply sighed. “You heard me, she’s my mate!” Khalid groaned annoyingly. “I can’t believe this, you may have possibly said this just to make her stay here,” One of the Elders said and Khalid clenched his fists tightly. Khalid stood up and opened his mouth to talk when a maid bathed into the meeting room. He swiftly faced her, with his eyes blazing with fury!“What are you doing here?” Khalid asked as he breathed in anger, his fists were clenched tightly. “I’m sorry your highness, but I came to inform you that Miss Megan has regained consciousness,” She said with her head bowed, and just like a magic, the anger on his face dissipated. “What did you just say?” Alpha Khalid asked sharply, and the maid kept mute because she knew he had heard her. “Are yo
CHAPTER 15Megan’s POV. I widened my eyes in shock, freezing instantly. I was unable to pull out, or move backwards…so I just stood still wondering what was happening. I noticed Khalid widen his eyes, and he quickly pulled out and turned his face sideways in embarrassment. “I’m sorry…” He muttered, and I turned to glance at him. “You almost slipped, and I wanted to save you, but I didn’t know.....” He trailed off, and I breathed deeply. I turned and walked back to the bed, as I sat slowly. Different thoughts rummaged my mind, and I couldn’t help but facepalm myself. I was going through a lot already, and what just happened added to my shock. “I know I’ve always admired and loved Khalid…but what just happened wasn’t right,” I thought as I heaved deeply. “It’s fine…” I managed to break the silence, and that was when he looked up to glance at me. I flashed him a light smile, which he returned and walked back to the seat he sat on earlier. “Are you ready to talk now?” I suddenly
CHAPTER 16Khalid’s POV. We stared at ourselves in shock, but it was until the knock came again that we were able to regain our composure. “Come in,” I ordered, and the door opened just for Alexis to appear with a small smile on her face. I creased my brows, and quickly turned to glance at Megan to see her widen her eyes in shock. “I’m sorry, just leave me alone,” Megan began to apologize as she shifted backwards in fright. That was when I knew that Alexis had managed to instill fear in Megan, and it made me boil in anger “I’m not a spy please,” She pleaded with a sad look, as she folded her hands begging Alexis with a sincere look. I just couldn’t behold the sight anymore, and I clasped my hands together making sure it made a loud noise, and that was when Megan managed to calm down. “What are you doing here?” I asked coldly, facing Alexis swiftly. “Your highness...” She started by going on her knees and I furrowed my brows. “I just came to apologize, I’m really sorry...” She

Despite our victory and the revelation of the truth, there was still a lingering shadow of conflict that cast a pall over our newfound peace.In the days that followed, our pack worked tirelessly to rebuild and strengthen our bonds. Megan, now officially recognized as our Luna, played a pivotal role in uniting our members and healing the wounds of the past.We reached out to neighboring packs, seeking alliances and cooperation to ensure lasting peace in our territory. It was a slow and delicate process, but the shared goal of a harmonious coexistence drove our efforts.As for Leo, he remained a formidable adversary, lurking in the shadows with a burning desire for revenge. We knew that the threat he posed could not be underestimated, and we remained vigilant, ready to defend our pack at any moment.One evening, as Megan and I were seated in our private quarters, discussi
Khalid POV I returned to our pack’s territory with Megan by my side, and the moment our dude of the pack members caught sight of us, a wave of jubilation swept through the crowd. They cheered, clapped, and howled in delight, their faces filled with relief and joy. As we approached, my men and warriors surrounded us, offering their congratulations and embraces. Megan was welcomed with open arms, and it was clear that her return had brought a renewed sense of hope to our pack. Amid the celebrations, I noticed some of my closest allies looking anxious. It was clear that they had something important to share with me. I pulled them aside, Megan by my side, and asked, “What has happened while I was away? Why do you all seem so concerned?” One of my trusted warriors, Marcus, stepped forward. “Khalid,” he began, his voice grave, “while you were searching for Megan, Aaron has made a significant move. He has revealed that he has a son named Leo, and Leo is helping him plan for the upcoming b
Khalid POV The land of the dead had taken Megan from me, and the ache of her absence felt like a wound that would never heal. The spirits of the elders, whose guidance had sustained me, now seemed distant and insubstantial in the face of this profound loss. But as I stood there, a spark of determination flickered within me. The forest may have claimed Megan for now, but I could not let it have the final say. I had come too far, faced too much, to simply accept defeat. With a heavy heart, I made a silent vow to continue the journey, to find a way to bring Megan back from the land of the dead. The love and memories we shared would be my guiding light, the force that propelled me forward through the darkness. The forest’s eerie whispers and haunting spirits would not deter me. I would face whatever trials lay ahead, for Megan’s sake and for the legacy of our love. The path ahead was uncertain, but I would walk it with unwavering determination, fueled by the promise of a future where w
Aaron POV I took a deep breath, my anger still simmering beneath the surface, but now tempered by a growing sense of understanding. The spirit’s words had struck a chord within me, a reminder that my journey was not solely about seeking answers but also about confronting the tumultuous emotions that had shaped my path. With a nod of acceptance, I turned and retraced my steps, making my way back to the barrier that had initially thwarted my progress. The prismatic walls of the chamber seemed to watch over me, a silent witness to the inner turmoil I had faced. As I stood before the shimmering barrier once more, I closed my eyes and focused on the roiling anger within me. It was a storm of emotions, a tempest that threatened to consume my reason. Yet, with each breath, I sought to gain control, to understand the source of my rage. Images and memories flickered in my mind, moments of pain, betrayal, and frustration. I allowed myself to fully experience these emotions, acknowledging the
Leo POV My mother, Bridget, began to speak, her voice carrying a weight of ancient wisdom. “Long ago, in a time when our kindred packs, the Moon Pack and the Sun Pack, coexisted in harmony, there was a love that defied the boundaries of our divided world. That love was between me, Bridget, and Aaron, your father.” As my mother spoke, the ethereal surroundings seemed to shift and transform, displaying scenes from the past. I watched in awe as the story unfolded before my eyes. My love with Aaron was pure and unbreakable,” my mother continued. “But our love faced a dire challenge when my father, Alpha Cyrus, your grandfather, made a grave mistake. He believed that an alliance with a powerful dark force would grant our pack strength and dominance over the Sun Pack.” The scenes showed Alpha Cyrus making pacts with shadowy ominous figure for his gain of power and dominance, his actions leading to the outbreak of war between the Moon Pack and the Sun Pack. The devastation and suffering c
Zack’s POVI went to back to the mansion and called for Jack, the leader of the warriors. He came in after some minutes.“Greetings, alpha.” He saluted.“At ease, soldier.” I said“Any lead on the search for Kaine and Darren?” I asked.“We have searched the eastern and western perimeter fully but still no sign of either of them.” He said.“We have caught traces of them in two different locations but by the time we arrived ,it seemed they had long departed from there.” He added.I had just returned from Ruby’s place. I had confronted her about the note she left me. She claimed she knew about Annie. But Annie is dead, I thought. What is all this rumor going round that she is alive. If she were alive, I would feel her somehow. But her presence is still same. Dead to me since I was told she died. Could it be possible that she is alive? I was having mixed feelings about it. A part of me will be happy that she is still alive but another part of me is worried about the effect it will have
LEO POVAs I held the letter tightly, my fingers trembling against the parchment, I couldn’t help but think about Amelia’s unwavering patience. She had sat there, silently watching me read the letter, her presence a comforting anchor amidst the storm of emotions that swirled within me. Each time my brows furrowed in disbelief or confusion, she would lean in closer, her concern etched across her face. It was as if she could feel the weight of the revelations in the letter even before reading it herself.“Amelia,” I continued, my voice still quivering, “you need to read this. It’s about Bridget’s past, and it’s... it’s unbelievable.”Her eyes never left mine as she took the letter from my trembling hands, her fingers gentle yet firm. I watched as her expression mirrored my own astonishment as she began to scan the contents. In that moment, I couldn’t help but be grateful for her presence, for her ability to share in the shock and disbelief that had taken hold of me.As she read, her bro
