“What is it Orion?”
I ask. He doesn’t respond and whines low instead. He comes through a clearing and then I begin to smell something familiar. A scent I haven’t encountered in centuries but would never forget. A scent that has tortured me for centuries.
The smell of Moonflower and Lavender. But something is different there’s a hint of jasmine too, something that was not part of her scent before but more importantly is the scent of blood that coming from her. No, it can’t be. It isn’t possible. We had lost all hope. And then I see her.
A small female form with pale hair is lying on the forest floor. She doesn’t seem bigger than a teenager . Her back is turned so I can’t see her face but the moonlight streams through the forest canopy making it look like she is glowing. Her pale skin iridescent under the moon. She’s glorious, she’s gorgeous, she’s not fucking moving.
Orion notices that and growls low, his panic taking over. He goes to her and sniffs her, trying to identify the reason she is not moving and the source of the bleeding them starts to whine. I take over and shift back to my human form and kneel next to her.
I turn her so she is lying on her back so I can see her face and I. See. Red.
My body trembles with rage as I scan her broken body. Her face is swollen, her eyes bruised shut with cuts lining her body.
My vision blurs as Orion surges forward, trying to take control. It is with sheer force of will that I am able to stop him. He can’t take care of her in this state.
I lift her head up and place it in my lap, running my hands through her hair to find it caked in blood.
“Who did this? I growl out. My wolf taking control momentarily. I must have been projecting dominance because she whimpers in agitation.
“Shhhh Mea Luna Amoris, you’re safe now. It will be fine.” I soothe her while running my hands through her hair.
I scan her for more injuries by running my hands down her body then I notice her ribs are broken and my vision blurs in rage.
“ I’ll kill whoever did this. Death will be a mercy.” I grit out.
She stirs and flickers her swollen right eye open. My heart lurches when I see that the other eye is swollen shut. Her eyes are the same midnight blue shade from centuries ago.
“It is you.” I whisper and brush a strand of hair away from her forehead.
She moves her lips, a rasping sound coming from her mouth while trembling in my arms.
“It h-hurts. Make it s-stop. H-help me, p-please.”
Fresh fury courses through my veins at that single word but I calm down so I don’t scare her more.
“You’re safe with me. No one would ever harm you again.” I whisper.
I graze my fingers across her delicate jaw.
“Who are you?” She asks.
“Mate.” Orion growls out the word that has been resonating in my soul since I laid eyes on her. “Mine.” And I was never letting her go.
She looks up at me, eyes blurry with pain and confusion and passes out.

Serena’s POV There are moments in your life you know for sure what is happening to you. Darkness. There is nothing more numbing and reassuring than that feeling of nothingness like you are floating and all thoughts all pain, everything just seems not to exist anymore and suddenly it stops. The sound of low growling brings me back to consciousness and I feel panic spears through my body at thought that Michael might have come back to finish what he started. “I’ll kill whoever did this. Death will be a mercy.” The voice growls out with such anger that it sends a shiver down my spine and I feel relief right after when I realize the person isn’t talking about killing me. I manage opening one eye as the other is swollen shut and l feel pain radiate my entire body. A figure is hovered over me, his features blurry and he is holding my head in his lap. He brushes my hair away from my face gently and whispers something I can’t hear over the ringing in my head. I must have hi

Nicholae’s POV I lift my mate up in my arms, taking care to jostle her and take off in a run as I contact Logan through the pack link. “ Logan, tell everyone to reconvene at the recon point and have the car pulled up. We’re going home.” “Alpha? What’s wrong? Did you find anything?” I ignore his questions and look down at my mate. Although she’s unconscious, she’s still whimpering from the pain. Some of her wounds should be healing by now. Why didn’t she shift to speed up the process? I shouldn’t be worrying about this right now I should be making my mate’s pain go away. I stop at a clearing and lay her down on a bed of leaves. I shift partially so that my claws come out and slice my left wrist open. An Alpha can speed up their mate’s healing process by giving them blood. I place my blooded wrist against her mouth since I can’t administer a transfusion at the moment but she’s too unconscious to swallow it down, the blood just spills out her mouth. I brush her hair away from her f

Serena’s POV “I, Alpha Michael Greyson hereby reject you as my mate and the Luna of the Black Moon Pack.” The words resonate in my head over and over again. “I reject you, reject you, reject you, reject you, reject, reject, reject…” Rejection, something that I should be familiar with. Something that I AM familiar with. After all, my parents abandoned me when I was born. Me, an omega, the one caste in our world that is the rarest and supposed to be treasured, loved, cherished. But then, I should have known that no freaking good thing ever came to me. Not one. The one thing, the one thing that was supposed to give me comfort, give me joy and grant me an escape from all the pain I’ve been going through, my mate,- I gasp out, doubling over from the pain- doesn’t even want me. When I woke up today on my eighteenth birthday, I thought today was going to be a great day, the day I found mate and finally became complete. However, I didn’t expect this. I feel numb.

Serena’s POV Michael commands as he walks up to me and holds up my chin so I am looking directly at him. What I see in his eyes lets me know it is time to give up. I was holding up hope that maybe something, anything would make him change his mind but I was wrong. There’s nothing but rage and anger and disgust. It’s much more than my inability to shift. It’s something else and what hurts most is that I don’t know what it is. As I say the words, absolute glee appears on his face as he realizes that he has broken me just cements what I saw. I am nothing to him. It’s over, finished. “I, Serena Infirma,” I choke on my surname because even that portrays who I am. Weak, useless, pathetic. That’s the name they gave me when they found me abandoned as a baby at the pack border. I was so weak that they thought I wouldn’t survive my first year. Weakness is a taboo amongst wolves. You cannot show yourself as anything but strong, competent, useful. Anything other than that gives others t

Nicholae Lykon’s POV I hate patrolling. Trust me, I know how important it is to do so and the necessity of it but in the past 500 years of my life, I have basically seen it all. No, it’s the endless waiting that pisses me off. I have been waiting for so many things for so long I basically wrote the book on patience. Being the Alpha of the most powerful pack on the continent, I could easily assign the task to someone else but something has been bothering me recently. We got a report on one of the packs in California who were under suspicious of practicing witchcraft and trafficking in young werewolves and the High Council requested that my pack investigate. Normally I would have ignored the request from those pompous assholes since I wasn’t fucking answerable to them but something about the pack called to me and more importantly, intrigued my wolf. Something that hasn’t happens in decades. I call for Logan, my Beta’s attention through the pack’s mind link. “Something is
