Luna's Pov My back was leaned against the headboard and I couldn't help but think about when the wolf attacked me the other night. In fact, it had been most of what i was thinking of throughout today.“How could that be?” I asked myself, still feeling really baffled about everything.How was it possible that the wolf didn't fear me and tried to jump at me? I also felt powerless and weak. If not that Emily interfered right in time and hit the wolf with a big stick, I would have been torn into pieces by now.Definitely, I had lost my powers. Something must have happened to me somehow because there was no explanation to how I felt weak and unable to defend myself.“Gosh.” I said under my breath and buried my face in my palms.This was all too much for me to take in and there was no one I knew around here that could explain the situation. Besides, I had found out that there was no way back to my pack from here. This place was more like an entirely different world for me.A knock on my doo
Luna's PovBefore anything else happened, the woman turned away and ran off.“Shit!” I cursed under my breath.“What's going on?” Emily asked, but I ignored her and jumped on my feet, then ran towards the corner I had seen the strange woman.“Keira! Keira!” I heard Emily call out to me, but I didn't look back or respond.I didn't want to lose that woman as she might have an answer to the weird things I was experiencing by being here.As soon as I got to that corner, I saw her running off in the distance. She also looked back at me, but looked forward again, trying to run as fast as she could.“Hey! Hold on, please!” I voiced out to her, and my voice echoed, but she didn't halt.I swung my arms back and forth with the wind brushing past my hair, but I wasn't as fast as I used to be, and it was really frustrating.But thankfully, before I lost sight of her, I saw her turning to the right side, so I ran towards that place. On getting there, I discovered it was a warehouse just down the s
Alpha Zane’s PovI sat on my bed with a glass of alcohol in my hand and staring at the door blankly. It had been days with confusion and worry on my mind for Luna. Series of thoughts of what could have happened to her that made her to forget her memories.She must have needed my help so bad, and probably have called out to me several times, but was so far away from her, not knowing where she was. I gulped down the last shot of alcohol and rose to my feet, then placed the glass cup on the bedside table. I walked to the bathroom, and got into the bathtub, then leaned on it.“Luna, what exactly did you go through?” I said under my breath as I stared at the wall.Well, whatever it was that she must have gone through, I hope I would be able to help her to get over it and how to help her get her memories back because it is certain she doesn’t feel at home yet.Suddenly, I felt the presence of someone in my room, so I got up from the bathtub, put on my robe, and opened the door gently before
Keira's Pov“Help!” I called out loud, but no one heard me.I was already becoming a little uncomfortable because of how choked I felt. Being inside here in the middle of the night when anything could happen was really suffocating.But just as I looked to the left, I saw something like a tunnel, and while I didn't want to go in, I had to because I heard a howl from afar. What if it was a rogue or a hungry wolf?I immediately hurried into the tunnel and while running, I noticed it had an end and it was easy to climb a little until I got out and felt the freshness of the air caress my skin. It was so good to be back on the ground than being underground.But then, this was a different place; it seemed really different from the other side of the tunnel in which I came from.“What if?” I said under my breath with a bright smile.There could be a possibility that I could find my way home myself because this part of the forest looked strange to me. Besides, there was no need to stay back; Za
Kiera’s Pov“A mission?” I asked, swallowing. Something about it just didn't sound right. It didn't. Maybe it was the way he said it, or the chilling look in his eyes as he said it. It all made me feel very unnerved. “A mission.” He repeated without an expression on his face, and that was sort of spooky.“What mission is that? Is it something I can do? Something anyone can do? What exactly is it?” I asked, hoping it wasn’t something which would be very difficult especially if I had no choice than to do it.He continued to regard me with those soulless eyes. I couldn't even appreciate his beauty because of the aura he carried around. It commanded fear; shivering fear.“Eliminate someone.” he finally replied, and my head jerked back as a gasp escaped my parted lips.“Eli… what? I should do what?” I asked him in shock.What was he saying? Eliminate as in murder?“I will not be repeating my words.” He droned icily. “You want me to kill someone. I'm… I'm not a henchman. I've never kille
Kiera’s PovHow tall was the mansion? Or was it a Palace? Why was it so high above the ground? Even looking down at it made a wave of nausea pass through me. Finally, I retired to my bed, and waited the whole day for someone to come. Anyone.When it was late in the afternoon, I heard footsteps approaching, and I jumped to my feet, looking around for any sort of weapon I could use to help myself. Foolishly picking the bedside lamp, I raised it and crept to the door. If I cracked it hard enough, then I could knock him out, and run, away from his stupid mansion, and his stupid demands. Unfortunately, when the door opened, I had to stop myself. It was a maid, and behind her was Edmond, standing guard, looking at me menacingly. I dropped the lamp, and retreated, keeping my eyes on Edmond.She came in with Lunch, preparing it for me, and I glanced at Edmond.“What's the Ancient Lake?” I asked. The man had threatened to throw me into whatever the Ancient Lake was if I failed to do his bi
Kiera's PovI walked further, and it seemed like I was already in a tunnel, Although, I had no idea of where I was heading to, but with what they say, _“There is light at the end of a tunnel.”_ Hopefully, that the light would lead me to a better place than here.I had it in mind to run far from here, and go back home, to get back to my old, comfortable life, and also probably search for the lady named Luna, out of kindness since her mates had treated me nicely, but since I had just discovered that someone was after Zane’s life, I had to at least, warn him about it.Usually, I felt i would just escape out of here and find my way back home, but then, there was this feeling that couldn't let me leave, knowing Zane could be in trouble. Why I felt that way for someone I literally had nothing to do with if not for the fact that I found myself here; I had no clue about it.This particular Alpha man seemed to be really dangerous, but if Zane was very well prepared, there was a high chance h
Kiera's Pov Taking my candle from the bar of iron, I walked into the room, and looked around. Ancient statues. The whole place was covered in thick dust, but the statues were sparkling white, like someone took the pains to wipe them clean every morning. I could recognize Aphrodite, Apollo, Cupid, but the others were all unrecognizable. I ran my hands on them, and looked at the crystal orbs on the high shelves, mirroring the light from my candle. Spiderwebs spun around, and it became weirder that only the statues were clean. Grotesque portraits of blood, men murdered in cold blood, and ancient beasts stayed on the wall, but one made me stop to stare at it.In large, red, spiky letters that seemed to be blood, the word CRYOGEN was written at the bottom. The creature on it was hideous. Why would anyone keep paintings of hideous things, and take extra care to clean them? Of course, the man up who owned this place… he seemed brutal enough. It simply meant there was another exit. A pla
Keira's PovI adjusted myself on the bed, holding onto Damien's arm desperately, “You can't do this. It's wrong. You can't just decide to kill the Alphas, and… how sure am I that you won't kill me? The throne is what you want, isn't it?”“You don't have a say in this!” Valerie snapped, picking up a jug, which she hurled fiercely in my direction. Acting fast, I screamed, ducking as it smashed into the wall behind me, a few shards hitting me as they bounced off the wall, “Thanks to you, they all have to die. Including Zane too. You're going to die either way, unless you know how to kick your butt out of here all by yourself.” She spat, as she approached me slowly, eyes full of scathing venom. When she got to me, she poked her finger in my head, sending me backwards. “It's all good, Valerie. I told you; once you find your mate, it will all be over. You will forget that anybody named Zane ever existed. You would never have him to yourself anyway, because the jerk will love Luna forever.
Luna's PovThe both of us lay on the floor of the rooftop, watching the star-strewn sky as breeze brushed the hair on our skins. I'd experienced breaking my virginity twice, and both times were so beautiful. I couldn't believe Nikkie and I made love. Each moment had been a burst of passion, a splash of deep and raw emotion.He lay next to me, his dark hair strewn over his face, and I watched him, putting my finger on his face, so I could push his hair aside. His skin was still ridiculously soft, just as his face was ridiculously handsome. He was every bit the prince charming. I can remember when I first met him. I wondered how Keira could fall for someone who looked as feminine as he looked, but now I understood perfectly. Just what she saw in him, what she liked about him, and what kept her falling for him over the years, even though he constantly rejected her. “You’re making me shy. Stop staring,” he suddenly muttered, his lids opening to reveal those clear blue eyes that made
Keira's Pov“You are not Luna.” Ryder said, his eyes holding every ounce of truth in them.“I… how…? I don't understand…”“You said it yourself.” He cut in, “You told me in that dream of the man you love— Nikkie, and since then, I've been monitoring you to see all the things you'd do wrong, all the things that would point you out as Keira. After much thought, I've concluded that you're Keira, not Luna.”I bit my lip gently, curious only about one thing in all the things he mentioned. The man I love. “You said something about me telling you about the man I love. Is there… such a man?” My fingers fidgeted with each other, as my brain worked at full speed, going back and forth, crashing against the walls of my mind. I remember feeling miserable and screaming during the duel, but who caused it?Damn. I'd forgotten. The thought of forgetting someone I didn't want to sting hard, and my eyes burned, oozing tears. Was that the reason for the ache in my chest? The reason I wanted so badly
Luna's PovI stared into the distance at the unicorn that galloped away at full speed, its words echoing in my head. Face who I am. What exactly did it mean by that? Nikkie also said something similar. Facing my selfishness by deciding to do the things I'd always denied people. Having kids. Well, let's say I was a selfish person, and the most selfish thing I've ever done was try not to have kids when others wanted them so much. But to see the author, I had to face my selfishness. Was he telling me to have a kid? In Keira's body?No. It can't be that. The other things I'd been selfish about were a thousand minor things that just made up my gigantic selfish reputation. The only major one I knew was the issue of kids, since I trampled on so many in denying having kids. I turned around, and began to walk away from the clasp of trees, making my way back to the celebrations.I walked into the hall, back in the midst of the buzzing music, looking all around. What the heck was wrong with t
Keira's PovI didn't know for how long I screamed, but I did know that while I was fighting inside me, some insane creature was roaring loud and frightfully, but I didn't even care to know what creature that was. I was just so sick and tired of everything. If I lost Nikkie, I didn't know how I would feel, how I would fight, because it was bound to have a huge impact on me. Was there actually anything I could do without him?Finally, I was able to regain my senses when I was able to hold on to the image of Nikkie in my head. My hands scraped the sand, squeezing them into my palms, while saliva dropped from my open mouth mixed with blood. I raised my head slightly, looking around. Evening had fallen, but I could see their faces clearly. They looked like they'd seen a beast. I would have fretted, looking around me, but I didn't seem to have the strength to. They were far from me. Even the wolf I'd injured badly was feet away from me, looking absolutely terrified. The three psychos wh
Luna's PovI sat with my back to the door, breathing heavily as I tried to retain the memory of Ryder. It felt so unfair. All that I could see were his eyes. His beautiful eyes of molten gold. The negative thoughts began to mess with my head. What if I lost all my memories and became Keira? Would I even be able to go back? Would I think Nikkie and Emily were being crazy if they attempted to bring me back to my senses?My hands dug into my hair as I gave the deepest sigh of my life. I am here now. I ought to keep the negative thoughts out of my head—ban them completely.I will find this Author. I would find them, and make them send me back. Ryder, it's fine. I will remember you soon enough. You and everyone else I must have forgotten. I rose to my feet, and surveyed the giant room through heavy eyes.Painted in white, it had a mix of silver and golden chandeliers, and looked like a princess’ room. White sheets, wide bed, golden wardrobes, with twinkling fairies as handles. A lar
Keira's PovIt was a suicide mission.There were ten opponents in three sets. The first three had bulky muscles, rippling in their arms, veins shooting in their legs, their faces shaped in grim hatred like a writing set in stone. They looked to be thrice my size. Honestly, I could have sworn they were breathing out smoke from their nostrils. The next four were dressed in long white robes, and looked slim, yet deadly like long thin swords with the sun bouncing off the blade. One would think they were underfed, but I knew it only meant that they would be very fast and easy to slip off my hands. Their ponytails were tight, causing the edges of their eyes to look sharp. The dark mascara and eyeliner applied to their eyes made them look like villains. To be precise, they reminded me of snakes. Beautiful, yet cunny and deadly, waiting for the right time to pounce. The last three were stunning as well. They laughed and giggled among themselves, clapping their hands and tipping their heads
Luna's PovIt would indeed be a loud miracle if we happened to find the author before I completely lost all my memories. The Palace was huge and buzzing with people. The chandeliers were so high on the ceiling that I almost fell backwards, trying to stare at them.“This way.” The man said, jerking off to the left, into a long hall painted in beige with flowers hanging in vases at the top of the walls. The place smelled like hot buns baking in the oven on a fresh summer's day. One of the men stopped in front of a blank wall, and began to draw patterns on the wall with his finger. He was too fast to even try to decipher what pattern he was drawing, let alone try to remember it. Lines broke into the wall, like a round spike of some sort, deepening further into the wall. We stepped back involuntarily, as a low hum filled the place. And still in that spiky form, the wall pried itself apart, spreading wide enough for people to walk in. One of them stepped in, walking into the darkness.
Keira's PovMy scream pierced into the night, past the trees, echoes ripping through the waters like a bullet. My hand swiped out, and I caught Damien's wrist between my fingers. Man, he was strong!It felt like I was trying to push a falling wall back up. It was way too strong for me. I placed my other hand on his wrist, grunting with my teeth clenched together. My arms trembled under the force of his strength. “Holding up, uh? Who do you think you are?” He demanded, his eyes gleaming as he pushed harder, managing to drive his claws into my shoulder.I shrieked again, this time, releasing an unearthly sound that caused the birds in the trees to flutter away in a shower of feathers. With my nostrils flaring and my breath coming out forced and shaky, I tried to keep up with pushing Damien's hand backwards, even though he was slowly driving his claws deeper into my shoulder.Warm blood soaked my wet shirt easily, staining it with a bright crimson. Just before my defense failed, he
