Mercedes kept turning in her sleep and she was sweating. She was having a very vivid nightmare. What she saw was unsettling. A vicious wolf attacking her parents and to men in black. The blood that splattered covered the walls and their pleas for mercy were deafening. The nightmare she was having felt like it was something that already happened. Mercedes woke up breathing heavily. She touched her forehead and wiped the sweat off it. Her heart was pounding wildly and she looked towards the window. It was dawn already. Her thoughts lingered on the nightmare she woke up from a little while ago. Confusion swamped her mind. How come did she have such a horrifying dream? What did it mean? While she was busy asking herself questions the dots finally connected. The day she ran away from home, she left four dead bodies uncounted for. She did not what happened nor did she have any recollection of prior events. Now that she knows that it was a wolf that attacked t
Mercedes stayed locked away in her room. Everyone was worried about her and her well-being. The only one she allowed close to her was Crystal. Even so, she didn't open up about her problem to her. She kept silent and she even blocked out her wolf. She was consumed with guilt and regret. She even thought about running away and back to the human realm to report the crime she committed. She convinced herself that it was the right thing and what she deserved. Felix was anguished by the distance she put between them. He didn't understand what to do or how to reach out to her. His wolf Roland was comforting him for the first time. He tried convincing him that it was not their fault and they should give her some space until she comes around and lets them in. That too was difficult because now that he knows that she is his mate, the pull was too strong. He soon found himself marching towards Mercedes's room. He saw Crystal coming out with a tray of food. It seemed to have bee
Yesterday went better than expected. Mercedes was fine and she was not isolating herself any longer. She woke up early in the morning in a good mood and started making breakfast for everyone. It was in a way to atone for her recent behavior and for pushing everyone away from her. Now that everything was settled she felt it was time she took up her role and took care of everyone. Breakfast was a way to start. She prepared coffee, pancakes with scrambled eggs, bacon, and other delicacies. She went all out to solidify her position as the new Luna of the White Claw Pack. Her thoughts went back to when she told Felix about what happened. She thought that it would be over between him and her after that revelation. FlashbackMercedes stared at Felix anxiously as he had not said anything to her after confession and telling him her unpleasant life story. Tension rose and her heart started to beat erratically and she began t
Felix was standing by his office window staring outside. The people were roaming around minding their own and little kids were all over the place and laughter resonated in the air. There was peace and harmony. Things were going well for a while but in the pit of his stomach, he had an unsettling feeling. He had it for some time but he chose to ignore it. He didn't want to think about anything bad and jinx the newly found happiness the moon's goodness bestowed on him. Things were different now. He didn't just have his pack to look out for but he also had the one who means the world to him. As incredulous as it sounds he knew that he loved her. He just has not admitted it to himself much less to her. Mercedes was now his weakness and it made him fearful of the future. He just knew that his love for her would cloud his judgment and he would never allow himself to lose her to anything. He would fight and burn the whole world to have her until he draws his last breath. He even
Felix was left alone with his tormenting thoughts. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the other hand, he wanted to protect Mercedes and shield her from everything bad and give her the happiness she deserves and the other was to tell her the bitter and cruel reality of their fate which has no escape. According to Alexa, if he wanted to save her, he should prepare her and make sure she knows what is to come shortly. He was wondering if the Moon Goddess bestowed such a fate on them to punish him. First, she delayed him from finding his mate, and now, when he thought he could finally be happy with the one made for him, her life and their future together are in grave danger. He thought of how Mercedes was still young and had been through a lot. This was her chance to have a fresh start with a new family and a man who will protect and love her. But it seems that her struggles were not over. A bigger obstacle was upon them and for the life they wanted, they had to e
Felix and Mercedes we're sleeping soundly on her bed. Felix woke up first and was pleased to see his mate sleeping on his bare chest. Her hot breath provides him with warmth and he made sure not to move. He did not want to disturb her sleep and lose the beautiful sight he was marveling at. her hair was repealed on his chest and some of it covered his face so he pushed it behind her so he could see her face. Looking at her his thought traveled back to last night's events. He almost had all of her but with great willpower, he pulled back and stopped himself. He wanted their first time to be special. He heard her light snores and he smiled at how cute it sounded. After some time of staying still to let her sleep, she began to awaken from her peaceful slumber. Felix quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Mercedes opened her eyes to see a hard warm chest. She was startled and tried to get up from the bed but strong arms were wrapped around her and preventing h
It has been a few days later since Felix and Mercedes spent the night together. None of them made a move toward each other since then. Mercedes had been busy dutifully tending to the people of the pack. As promised, she went with a gift for the kids at the orphanage. She asked Crystal to help her bake all different kinds of cookies for the kids to have and she bought a lot of candy for them. On the other hand, Felix was secretly working on the ceremony with both Jake and Crystal's help. Mercedes was the only one left in the dark. Felix went all out and wanted that day to be an unforgettable one for Mercedes. He was excited and couldn't wait for her to see it. But before that, he planned another surprise. He wanted his wolf Roland to spend some quality time with her wolf Reina. Since the day she shifted for the first time, she never shifted again. He planned for them to go for a run in wolf form in the words and take her to his special place. He had it all planned out and a
After they all had dinner Felix and Mercedes excused themselves to go on their run as planned. While they were in the garden, Felix had asked Mercedes to go for a run in wolf form. She was reluctant at first since she only transformed once under duress but Felux convinced her that he would show get how to do it. So she agreed and that is what they were going to do. Felix grabbed an overnight backpack with blankets and some snacks. Mercedes was confused as to what it was for and Felix told her that they would not return until morning. She was still not aware of where they would spend the night but she just went along with it since he seemed to already had everything planned out. He held her hand and led her out and they made their way to the edge of the forest. Not many people were around, just a few people loitering here and there enjoying the chilly but calm evening. They walked deeper into the forest until there was nothing in sight. They stood by a tree and Felix p
Now that Felix was fine, Mercedes felt concerned about the pack members who were injured in the altercation with Drakoen. Now that she knows the power her blood holds, she couldn't just use it to her benefit. She had to help everyone who was hurt because she felt responsible for what happened to them. Drakoen hurt them because of her. It made her heart ache that because of her, everyone she loves and cares about will always be in danger as long as Drakoen lives. " Alexa, I have a question," Mercedes announces catching everyone's attention. " Yes. What is it?" Alexa asks. " Since we found out that my blood can heal, I wanted to know if there are any limits." Alexa looked at her in confusion. " What do you want to do?" " I want to go out and help heal all the injured pack members. It's the least I can do for them," she replied with her voice full of sorrow. Felix grabbed her hand and squeezed it. " It's not your fault my love. It's so thoughtful of you to want to heal them
After what Alexa said before passing out, Mercedes, Jake, and Crystal made their guesses on what she meant about her blood that can heal. Mercedes had Jake get her a dagger. She stood beside Felix. She looked back and Crystal and Jake both nodded their heads at her. Mercedes took a breath. She held out her palm and sliced through it with the dagger in her hand. She winced feeling pain. The pain quickly subsided. Her blood oozed out and she closed her hand and let the blood drip on Felix's lips. The blood seeped into his mouth. With just that, all of them couldn't determine if the blood was working. The was pin drop silence as all watched to see if Felix would show any reaction to her blood. A few minutes had passed without anything happening. Mercedes was on the verge of losing hope. She looked down and dejected. But then suddenly, Felix bolted up and gasping for air. Everyone gasped in shock seeing this. It was like Felix had been revived from the dead. Jake and Crystal came for
Amaya. I thought I would never hear you talk of that name," said an unfamiliar voice to Mercedes. Alexa turned to see Isadora. The head of the Academy and her nemesis. " Did your elders never teach you that eavesdropping is impolite?" Alexa asked snidely glaring at Isadora who was just smirking. " Forgive my impoliteness, dear Alexa. It was not at all my intention." " Alright. Don't mind me and my friend here. Move along." Mercedes just stood there not understanding the hostility between them. Alexa turned to her and grabbed her hand attempting to get away from Isadora before her mood got spoiled. " Stop being childish Alexa. It's beneath you. For how long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours towards me? We are not young anymore. Besides, you come and go from here so we'll have to see each other like it or not." Alexa was getting infuriated by just hearing her talk. The tension between them goes way back. They were actually the best of friends until Isadora bruta
Mercedes went over to the window of the classroom to get a closer look. Everyone in the class didn't take notice of her standing there. She watched as the girls paid attention to their teacher in front of them. The woman looked not much older than the girls. She was fair skinned, had unique violet eyes, and a long black hair that cascaded behind her like a waterfall. She was simply beautiful. Mercedes couldn't help but be in awe of her. She felt insecure just to be in her presence. The woman uttered words incoherent to Mercedes to perform a spell. Suddenly a flame formed out of her palm. The girls were awed and equally astonished as Mercedes was. She had not seen anything like that. While glued to the window of the classroom someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Mercedes looked behind her to see Alexa standing before her. " Alexa!" she exclaimed. A sense of relief washed over her. She was frantically looking for Alexa all this while but she got distracted by the class. " Where
Mercedes woke up inside a room. Her head was slightly ringing as she sat up. She didn't remember what happened to her. She held her head in her hands and tried to ease her pain. Alexa came inside and found her awake. She sighed and felt relieved. It's been 2 days since the incident. The was nothing Alexa could do to wake her up. It was up to Mercedes to wake up. It would have been bad if something happened to her. " Mercedes, you are awake!" she exclaimed placing a tray of food in her hands on the table and going to sit next to her on the bed. Mercedes looked at her in confusion and asked, " What happened? I-I don't remember what happened after we got to Alvira. Everything is hazy and my head hurts so bad." Alexia placed her hand on her back and stroked her lightly. " It's okay. Take it slowly. There is no need to push yourself. Relax," Akexa coerced sweetly. Mercedes tried taking deep breaths and cleared her mind. She turned to look at Alexa. " How long was I out for?" Alexa lo
It was time to leave. Felix helped Mercedes pack everything she needs to leave. It broke his heart but it was something that must be done. There had to be separated for some time but Felix knew that it was going to feel like an eternity without her. Mercedes kept stealing glances at him. He seemed to be sulking and lost in thought. She felt bad to be leaving him behind as well but there is nowhere out. She sighed and suppressed her emotions. Once they were done packing, Felix carried her bags and they joined the others downstairs. " Do you have everything you need?" Alexa asks Mercedes. "Yes, I do," she replies. Crystal comes forward and takes Mercedes's hand. Everyone looks at her as she put an amulet on her hand. It was a crystal-like amulet " I have been wanting to give you this amulet for some time. Right now felt like the perfect time to do it," Crystal says to her. Mercedes looks at the amulet and tears come to her eyes. " I had Alexa work her magic on it. I hope it will
Mercedes and Felix were lying in bed when they felt the morning breeze blow inside their room. Felix stirred in his sleep but didn't wake up and just held tighter to Mercedes's body. Mercedes woke up still half asleep and realized that she was naked in bed and Felix was pressed up behind her. He below felt deliciously sore as she pressed her thighs together to try and ease up the pain. She smiled to herself and embraced the breeze that kissed their bodies. She placed her hand on his hand around her waist. The thought visited the night before when she surrendered to him completely. She felt sore on her neck when she tried to crane it and she touched the area where Felix had marked. She wondered what her mark looked like. She had fallen unconscious so she couldn't mark him too. She wanted to complete their home before she left for Alvira. The mere thought of parting with him made her very sad. She was reluctant to leave even though she tried to convince herself that it was the right th
Felix had lost control. His wolf was now surface and in control of the body. Mercedes noticed by his eyes that had turned dark. She cupped his face and caressed his cheek. " Roland. Is that you?" she asks breathlessly. " Yes, it's me, mate! Long time no see," he smirked. Mercedes was suddenly nervous but excited at the same time. It was a mixed feeling. " Long time it is," she responded with a small smile as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear shyly looking everywhere but at him. He grabbed her chin roughly but not enough to hurt her, compelling her to look him in the eye. " I am dying to ravage you all night long until you are satiated and spent. I want to sink my teeth into your sweet slender neck to mark you as my own. You don't know how much I have been trying to keep it together and not rip this human apart for complete control," he said referring to Felix. Mercedes was perplexed at his crude choice of words but heck, she was not complaining. She had a feeling that he
After spending some time with the pack members, it was time to go back home. They arrived and Felix insisted on preparing dinner. He said he wanted to feed himself so Mercedes couldn't dare deny him that. She sat at the table and watched him do all the work. He rolls the sleeves of his shirt up showing his veined manly forearms. Mercedes was caught up in a daze of admiration for her mate.He chopped the vegetables and began cooking. In no time, it was already smelling delicious and that is when Mercedes's stomach grumbled catching Felix's attention. " Are you that hungry?" Felix asks teasing Mercedes who was already embarrassed. " Yes. I could eat a person," std teases back, licking her lips provocatively. Felix stunned, cleared his throat, and decided to look away from her. Waking up the beast in him at the moment was not a good idea. Mercedes giggled at his expense. " Alright. Dinner will be ready in no time. No need to be impatient," he says. " In the meantime. Would you like a
