~Xavier~I sighed for the hundredth time, my fingers playing with the day old stubble on my chin.Ever since Jayden told me about the prophecy from the Oracle, I've been restless. This wasn't because I was scared that Kira would kill me like the Oracle said, but because I was wondering what could have pushed the Oracle to tell such a lie against my Luna. Was the Oracle telling the truth, or was she lying just because she was looking for a way to get back at me by making sure that I was not happy with my mate? It was even worse because it wasn't so easy to kill the Oracle. She was the only seer that I knew who would not try to sugarcoat words for me because I was the Alpha. She was always brutally blunt, but right now, I was finding it really hard to believe what she said.She has so many reasons to hate Kira, and she could just make up a prophecy and try to make it sound convincing. Why would Jayden even consult her without my knowledge? Why would he even go behind my back? What w
~Jake~"What the hell is going on here? Why is there a secret meeting going on here with only the Beta" I bellowed as I barged into the secret close-door meeting that I was not aware of. A guard had told me about this meeting a whole ago, but I hadn't believed him. I had to come by and see for myself. And now, seeing that even my friend and Beta, Aiden, was seated in the meeting, a new flare of anger rose in me.Aiden stood, and tried to speak, but one glare from me was enough to keep him quiet."You can't speak to us in that manner, Alpha Jake. This is exactly one of the reasons why we don't want you as an Alpha anymore. You are too irrational, impulsive and you lack respect. If we don't take full action now, Halfmoon Pack will be sunk into nothing."one of the Council members said, giving me a matching glare.“What?” I scoffed in unbelief. “So now I'm irrational?”"You can't give us what we want. Aiden is a much better candidate than you ever would be. I don't know why you keep on f
~Kira~"Have you decided on what your baby's name would be?”I ran my hands through the flowers as Jayden and I walked through the garden, inhaling their flowery scent which did a good job with calming me. I don't know yet.” I replied . “Xavier and I haven't discussed that. He's been acting so weird lately, and ignoring me. Even though he is not being violent or trying to be abusive, whenever I try to have a conversation with him, he always claims to be busy.”Jayden shrugged. “Busy? But we've barely had anything to do in the Pack for some time now. Unless he has some external things that he's doing”Almost immediately the words left his mouth, he realized that he might have insinuated something, and the look on his face showed instant regret. I stopped walking to face him. “Jay, do you think that he is slowly falling out of love with me?" Jayden had an unreadable expression on his face as he tried to avoid eye contact with me. "Maybe he is really busy. Being the Alpha of the Pack
~Kira~"Let go of me Xavier, you're hurting me.”What the hell is wrong with you?" I tried to pull my hands away from his tight grip but he held on tighter, half dragging me through the hallway.“Xavier…please, people are watching” I pleaded again as I half-ran to meet up with his stride.He ignored me, and kept on walking until he got to the door of our room. Pushing me into the bedroom, he shut the door loudly. "I am not stupid Kira.” He said as he dropped my arm roughly. “I know what I saw. You are getting too cozy with my Beta or do you think that I’m blind? I have been noticing suspicious movement between the both of you. Don't try to deny it." He accused, his ears turning a shade of red.I gaped at the stranger before me. This wasn't the Xavier who professed love to me. This stranger in front of me isn't the one who had accepted to be a father to my baby.“What in the whole heavens is wrong with you, Xavier?” I asked, rubbing my already bruised arm."When I am not around, I kno
~Ella~I wished to be anywhere else but here. This was a nightmare and also not how I planned to spend my day, but I had to be the good Luna who always honors people's invitations no matter how annoying they can be, no matter how much of a pest they can be. Anyway, I just don't have to stay for many hours, I will just stop by for a bit and then leave. This damn get together was an excuse for everyone to flash their stylish dresses and their wealth. It was a get together, not a ball party for goodness sake!I don't know why they were all wearing formal gowns as if they were trying to impress someone. I know that most of these women don't like me. The fact that I was the Luna and a young one at that. Most of them wanted Jake, but he wasn't giving them any attention. The only reason why I was here was because I had to make Jake look good.He has been feeling so stressed lately. Even though Jake was hurting me, I wanted to be a good wife to him. I didn't want him to regret his decisio
~Kira~"You have to get far away from here. You aren't safe here.”I gasped as I heard the voice. I'd thought that I was alone here in the woods. “He’s lying to you. He isn't who he says. You shouldn't trust him so blindly. Don't be madly in love and be so naive and stupid that you can't see the truth before you." I looked around to find out who was saying that.I walked towards the direction the voice came from."Who are you and what are you talking about? Reveal yourself and stop hiding like a coward. Tell me what you mean and stop beating around the bush. I came here for some peaceful time, not to be creeped out." It was as if the person kept on changing positions but I was certain that it was a woman. If only I could find out where she was hiding."Knowing who I am is not important, I am just giving you a fair warning before it becomes too late and you'll be the next sacrificial person. He is treating you like a princess right now because he needs something from you. Don't be s
~Ella~I have never felt so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life, not even when Jake had intentionally ignored me in public gatherings and pretended that we weren't a couple.I have gotten used to the fact that he would never love me the way he loves Kira no matter how much he tried to deny that he didn't want her back because of love, but for the child that she was carrying.To most outsiders, we look like the perfect couple. He was good looking, and I was too. My family wasn't poor neither was Jake's family, but they don't know what goes on behind closed doors. How my husband treats me like trash and prefers another woman over me. I wouldn't be surprised one day if Jake decides to hit me. Whenever he was near me, it felt as if he was being pricked all over his body with sharp needles. He felt irritated whenever I was near him. He even accused me of not being pregnant and even if I was pregnant, that I was the cause of all my miscarriages. As if that was what I wanted to he
~Xavier~The atmosphere right now matched my mood. The weather was so gloomy, as if there was going to be a heavy downpour soonest.On a normal day, I would have loved the weather. But today was not a normal day, and I wasn't happy. There was nothing that could make me happy, not even running in my wolf form. I was feeling depressed and so was my wolf. He wasn't happy that I had been ignoring our mate but there was nothing I could do except to stay far away from Kira. I didn't want to send her away. I couldn't bring myself to do that. That will be wickedness on my part and I am sure the Moon goddess wouldn't look at me very well.I was having sleepless nights, and I missed Kira so much. She was the only one who kept me sane. I can't lose her. I can't even begin to imagine life without Kira. I don't think I would want to live in that kind of world anymore.I wasn't scared of her hurting me. I was scared of the opposite of that. I can't kill Kira. I can't bring any harm upon her. I wou
