ValenI should've known the two will only waste my time. They made things more complicated by bringing up excuses from different angle. I got angry and left. And that was when I received the shocking news of my life. The letter Gianna left for me. I thought I burned the letter. How did she find out about it? Or did she...Right. She read it while I was in the bathroom. I almost lost my shit with Vito and Nate. I told them clearly to keep an eye on the girls. He was telling me she said she would be stepping out for a stroll and they didn't care to check when they didn't hear anything from her. A hiss left my lips as I stuffed my clothes inside the duffle bag. I have to stop her before she take any silly decision. I know how fragile her heart is. She's still blaming herself for what happened. Even after all my assurance. Allowing her to sacrifice herself for me is the last thing I would allow to happen. “Master the car is ready” Vito announced. “Okay” I stick to short reply. I was sti
GiannaTwo days laterIt's been two days since we came back to the pack. I won't say my relationship with Valen has gotten worse but it hasn't been better. I tried explaining to him about what I've decided to do. Yet, he kept telling me not to worry that nothing will happen to him. The full moon is coming in the next two days. If I don't do the needful at that time, I don't think I will forgive myself. Unless he does come to find another means. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and dialed my mother’s number. We’ve been in touch since I came back. Although I don't get to speak to my father. She assured me that she will set things right. I'm still shocked at the way he treats my mother. “Hey my dear. How are you?” Came her voice. “I’m fine mother. How have you been? And the business” I remembered she told me her business isn't moving that well these days. If only I have the means to help. “It’s going smoothly. At least its better than the past days. Tell me how are you too? What
GiannaIf anyone should ask me how I was feeling at that very moment I will tell them I have no idea because they was what I was feeling inside. But I know I have to do whatever I decided to do. It was finally the full moon day. The day for the ritual. Mrs. Marissa and Adelaide have made necessary preparation for me. I'm set to take of later after the ceremony is over. The news was no longer hidden. Everyone knows about Valen’s stay at the pack and also about my ritual. And to be honest I couldn't care less with all the gossips. They wouldn't understand since they are not in my shoes. I can sacrifice more for Valen. I want to protect him the same way he wants to do the same for him. We have already concluded with him. He won't stop me from performing the ritual. I know he's my father but what he did was unforgiving. If they weren't as greedy as they were now, nothing of such would've happen. The moon goddess wouldn't have gotten angry to the extent of using us as collateral. I'm sure
ValenI couldn't get the image of the event out of my head. What if you were not there Valen? What could've happened to her? My inner voice echo. I don't know how to feel again. The fact that I can't do anything when she's taking everything all alone on her shoulder. I want to find a way out. But I couldn't. When there's no way out. When the only solution is the ritual. How will I be able to forgive myself if something happens to her. When we told Mrs. Marissa about it she said it was due to the ritual. Her soul was called out. That even if I don't go there nothing will happen to her. I failed to understand that though. She was clearly getting herself drown. If I wasn't there she would have been..... I don't even want to think about it. And then she's heading for the second ritual again. I don't know who needs to hear it but I'm going there. I don't care. No matter what they say, I will follow her. Everything will happen before my eyes. A knock sounded from the door followed by the
GiannaI have successfully performed the second ritual. And honestly, I can't say how I was feeling. This time around, the pain was intense. Talk more of the cold weather. It was as if I was walking in an ice land. I know Valen will feel the cold too. I'm sure he'd want to be there with me. Too bad he can't. I felt somehow different today like some part of me was being taken away. It was a new feeling. However, when Mrs. Marissa and Adelaide asked me about it, I told them everything leaving no stone unturned. But what baffles me is the fact that the two didn't say anything only smile. That means things are going according to plan. “I can't believe you have a day left to complete the ritual” Maria broke the silence that resonate in the kitchen. We finished eating dinner few minutes ago. I was in Maria’s position. I ate like a glutton probably because I haven't eaten since morning. As per the instructions from them. I was to perform the ritual with an empty stomach. Imagine how. it wo
ValenWords could not express how I felt when I shifted into my wolf form. Like it wasn't an easy transformation, the pain I felt at the pit of my stomach. The bile that got stuck in my throat. The way my body was reacting as if I was wrapped around a fire. It was so fierce and difficult. I don't know whether it was due to the fact that Gianna was in danger. I felt it. The mate bond. It happened. I could feel Gianna’s scent. Are things getting back to normal? “Why do you have to go alone. What's the use of Vito” I could see the anger in her eyes. If it wasn't directed to me, it would be to Vito who's face was calm. “I know what you mean but I'm fine. Don't worry. You were able to perform all the rituals. Maybe the moon goddess will go easy on us”I heaved out a sharp breath before taking her hand and led us towards the sitting room. “Um.. Master I will be outside” Vito said excusing himself. I didn't fail to notice the look Gianna advance towards him. “Look Gianna. I don't know wh
GiannaFew months laterThe sound of wind followed by the breeze cascading through the window shows it was winter season. I wrapped the crochet jacket around my body as I rock myself on the grandma chair. It has become my routine for the past weeks. I rubbed my palms over my belly as a smile made its way out of me. "My baby mummy will warm you up" I muffled out as I went on with the action.I'm in my last month of delivery. The past months hasn't been easy. I won't say it was tough but probably it's not the best. A lot had happened in the pack house but at the end, peace reign. My thought wandered off to the event. It was still fresh in my brain. Like it happened yesterday.After I performed the last ritual, I went into coma for more than a week. I could hear and feel everything that was going on around me but couldn't make a move or open my eyes. All my families had been around me. Caleb didn't leave my side even for a second. Day and night. I could hear and feel his agony and pain d
FREYA I was standing close to the vintage collection of old antiques my mom hung at the left corner of the room. She always says how each relic and collection symbolizes a profound meaning to our culture and heritage. To me, they are nothing more than profound trash. But if she says they are helpful then fine.My dad is the Alpha of the moonlight pack, and my mum is his honorable Luna. My mom is my hero, not just mine but a hero to many she represents the ultimate definition of strength personified in a human, she is gracious and invincible. When people talk about the great Luna who set a cursed prince free and brought peace back to the land despite being just a mere servant, they mention Luna Gianna, my mother. She gave birth to me, Freya, when she had just kicked off her happily-ever-after story with my dad, the once cursed prince, now great Alpha Valen. Eighteen years later and their love is still blooming in all its light.My mom and dad have the ultimate love story about how the
