Andrea stood in front of the mirror, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread. The room was bustling with activity. Makeup artists, hair stylists, and designers flitted around her, each focused on their task. Rose stood beside her, a reassuring presence amidst the chaos."Hold still," one of the makeup artists said, applying the final touches to Andrea's face. "Almost done."Andrea tried to calm her racing thoughts. Today was the day she would officially be appointed as Luna, a role she had never asked for and certainly never imagined for herself. She caught Rose’s reflection in the mirror and offered a weak smile.Rose grinned back. "You look amazing, Andrea. Absolutely stunning."Andrea glanced down at the intricate dress she wore. It was a deep emerald green that complemented her eyes, the fabric flowing like liquid silk. The bodice was fitted, adorned with delicate beadwork that shimmered in the light. Her hair had been styled into loose waves, cascading down her ba
PAST Two days before the Luna ceremony, tensions simmered within the pack's council chambers. Logan's uncle, a seasoned alpha with a stern demeanor, sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed deeply as he listened to the murmurs of disapproval from the council members."This is unprecedented, Logan," his uncle said with a heavy sigh, his voice carrying the weight of authority and concern. "A human Luna? Have you lost your senses?"Logan stood tall, his expression stoic despite the mounting pressure. "She is my mate," he replied firmly, meeting his uncle's gaze head-on. "I did not choose this, but fate has bound us." The council members exchanged uneasy glances, their skepticism evident. One elder spoke up, his voice laced with skepticism. "It goes against everything we've known. How can we trust a human to lead us?"Logan's jaw clenched, his patience wearing thin. "Andrea has proven herself," he retorted, his voice steely. "She possesses strength and determination that surpasse
As Andrea followed Logan through the quiet corridors towards his house, her mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She had barely processed the announcement that she would be moving from her bedroom to his bedroom, let alone the fact that all her belongings had already been relocated without her consent. Her exhaustion from the day's events weighed heavily on her, leaving little room for protest or questions.Logan's strides were purposeful, his jaw set in a firm line that betrayed none of the inner turmoil she suspected lay beneath. Andrea stole glances at him, trying to decipher his unreadable expression, but his focus remained forward, determined and unwavering.They walked towards his room Andrea realised that she had never been in this part of the house and couldn't help but marvel at the difference compared to the other part of the house, it looked vacant that no one actually lives this side no person in site, as they walked down a corridor lined with portraits of past al
As Andrea stirred from her sleep, she was instantly alert, sensing a presence in the room. Her heart raced as she turned to see Logan standing near her bed, his eyes a striking shade of amber that she hadn't seen before. The air around him crackled with a raw intensity that sent a shiver down her spine."Andrea," Logan's voice was low and husky, filled with a hunger that both thrilled and terrified her. "You have no idea how long I've waited for you."From that statement alone she knew it was Alex in charge.Andrea's breath caught in her throat as he moved closer, his gaze locked on hers with an intensity that made her pulse quicken. He reached out, his fingers brushing lightly against her cheek, trailing down to caress her lips. She was frozen in place, caught between fear and an inexplicable longing that surged through her."You drive me crazy," he murmured, his voice rough with desire. "I want you in ways you can't even imagine."His touch was electric, sending tingles across her s
Logan paced the dimly lit corridor outside Andrea's room, his mind a tempest of conflicting emotions. The encounter had left him shaken, his usual composure unraveling in the face of her understanding gaze and gentle touch. He clenched his fists, struggling to regain control.As he walked, the echoes of the pack settling into sleep surrounded him, a comforting reminder of his responsibilities. Yet, tonight, those responsibilities felt like chains binding him to a fate he couldn't escape.The commotion that had stirred him from his restless pacing originated from the far end of the hallway—a muffled argument between two men, their voices strained with urgency. Logan hesitated, torn between investigating and retreating to the solitude of his own thoughts.But duty called, and he moved towards the source of the disturbance. As he approached, the voices grew louder, snippets of conversation floating to him through the thick silence of the night."... should have told her...""...not his
Sandra paced her opulent room, the plush carpet muffling her agitated footsteps. The moonlight filtered through the heavy curtains, casting an eerie glow on her surroundings. She clutched her phone, waiting impatiently for the call she had placed to connect. Finally, a deep, gravelly voice answered, breaking the silence."What is it, Sandra?" the voice growled, laced with impatience and anger.Sandra's lips curled into a sneer. "It's Andrea," she spat, unable to mask the venom in her tone. "That pathetic human is ruining everything. She was never supposed to be Luna. That position was meant for me."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Sandra could almost feel the tension crackling through the phone. "You assured me you had everything under control," the voice hissed. "How did she end up being chosen?"Sandra's grip tightened around her phone. "I did have everything under control until she showed up. Logan was supposed to reject her, but for some reason, he’s keeping he
Andrea sat by the window in her new room, staring out into the darkness. The events of the past few days had left her feeling more isolated and confused than ever. The Luna ceremony had changed everything, yet she felt as if she were living someone else's life, trapped in a role she didn't understand.She absentmindedly reached for the pendant around her neck, a simple blue stone set in a silver frame. It had belonged to her father, the only thing she had left of him. As she held it, the stone suddenly began to glow, a soft blue light emanating from it. Andrea's heart skipped a beat. This had happened before, when she first arrived at the pack, but she still had no explanation for it.A voice, soft and distant, whispered her name. "Andrea..."Her breath caught in her throat. She looked around the room, but there was no one there. The voice seemed to come from within the pendant itself. "Follow the light, Andrea. Find me..."The glowing intensified for a moment, then abruptly stopped.
As Andrea sat on the edge of the bed, trying to make sense of everything that had happened, a soft knock on the door broke the silence. She frowned, glancing at the clock. It was well past midnight. Who could be visiting at this hour?"Come in," she called out, her voice tentative.The door creaked open, and to her surprise, Caleb stepped inside, his face a mask of concern. He closed the door behind him quietly, ensuring no one else could hear their conversation."Caleb? What are you doing here?" Andrea asked, her confusion evident.He moved closer, his eyes scanning the room before settling on her. "I had to see you. Are you alright?"Andrea sighed, running a hand through her hair. "As alright as I can be, considering everything. Why are you here, though?"Caleb sat down next to her, his expression serious. "I needed to talk to you about the necklace."Andrea's hand instinctively went to the pendant hanging around her neck. "What about it?"Caleb hesitated, glancing at the door as if
