**Fernanda's POV**I opened my eyes. Everything was quite blurry. The ray of the sun hit my eyes so I had to shut it immediately. I moved my hands. I was on something soft, something fluffy. I didn't want to ever stand up. It was so comfortable. After a while I opened my eyes again. Where am I? Did I get caught? What is this place? My head hurt while trying to recall what happened that night. For how long have I been out? I asked myself. I looked around the room, it's the most beautiful room I've ever been in. The color of the wall was cream. The furniture was dark grey with a golden accent. Everything here exuded wealth. The owner must be very powerful. Maybe an Alpha.I was dying of thirst and I decided to make my way to where the aroma of food was emanating from. Perhaps there would be water there too. I thought to myself. I tired standing several times but I kept falling back to the bed due to the immense pain in my stomach, which was caused by Aiden I’d I can remember, before t
I mustered up some courage and said, "Sure… I can walk. Just help me stand up a bit." He flashed a smirk that made me feel both uneasy and intrigued at the same time. I wondered what he was planning to do, but before I could finish asking, he lifted me up in a bridal style with his strong arms. My heart skipped a beat, partly from the sudden movement and partly from the closeness we were now sharing."I've got you," he said reassuringly, his voice sending shivers down my spine. I wrapped my arms around his neck to steady myself, my cheeks turning slightly red at the proximity of our bodies. Despite the situation, there was an odd sense of comfort in his embrace, as if I could trust him with everything.As he carried me, I couldn't help but take in more of his features. His scent was intoxicating, a mix of grapes and hyacinths, and it felt like home. I found myself getting lost in his captivating green eyes, trying to decipher the emotions they held. There was something mysterious about
"What makes me your Luna, Sergio?" I asked, setting down my utensil on the plate and placing my folded hands on the table. I needed answers, and I wasn't going to back down."Wait, you seriously don't feel it?" he asked, raising his left eyebrow in curiosity. "Feel what? I don't feel nothing, bro," I replied, trying to maintain a casual demeanor despite the confusion swirling inside me."Wait, are you for real right now? You seriously don't feel the mate pull? Like you don't perceive any strong scent around me which makes you wet and a bit aroused?" he questioned, looking genuinely perplexed by my response. His words caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and amusement at the situation.At this point, I knew I needed to clear the air once and for all about my stance on him and men in general. I couldn't let him continue with any misconceptions. "Okay, I want you to understand something, Sergio," I began, taking a deep breath. "I lost my wolf the day aft
"We have rested enough, and we don't have much time to delay our plans," Sergio began, his voice steady and determined. "We need to start gathering intel through some of their allies, but we have to move fast before we become wanted."I nodded in agreement, knowing that every second wasted could be the difference between success and failure. "I understand, Sergio. We need to strike while we have the element of surprise."Sergio turned his attention to me, his eyes holding a mixture of concern and resolve. "Fernanda, I'm sure you know you are probably wanted, and they are searching for you," he said gently. "You don't need to tag along with Jake and me. When we need you, we'll let you know."I felt a surge of frustration rising within me. I couldn't simply sit back and let others take charge of seeking justice for the years of torment I endured. "Sergio, you can't just leave me out of this whole operation," I interjected firmly. "If there's anyone who deserves to have Alpha Draxler's he
His words offered some comfort amidst the storm of emotions swirling within me. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. "Where do we even begin?" I questioned, feeling a mix of eagerness and trepidation.Sergio's expression turned determined. "We'll start by reaching out to a potential ally, Alpha Charles," he explained. "He's the Alpha of the Red Fang Pack, and I met him at the party. He also felt that something was off with the Midnight Shadow Pack."I nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. "And what's the plan?" I asked, eager to take action and uncover the truth."We'll head to the Red Fang Pack in about an hour," Sergio said. "But you and Jake will have to wait from a distance. In case Alpha Charles is an ally of Alpha Draxler and I get captured, you guys will still somehow make it out safely."The idea of waiting behind made me feel uneasy, but I understood the need for caution. "Alright," I said, trying to sound confident. "But please be careful, Sergio. I don't want us to f
Upon entering my room, Sergio surprised me by lifting me up in a dramatic bridal style and placing me gently on my bed. I couldn't help but let out a surprised laugh. "Was that really necessary?" I asked with a playful grin.He smirked, his eyes glinting mischievously. "Yeah," he said, his voice tinged with humor. "Just making sure my woman gets treated like the Luna she is."I chuckled at his corny remark. "Are you serious?" I retorted, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "There's no way I'll ever be your Luna. I told you, I don't even have my wolf anymore, so that's even more reason." I crossed my arms playfully. "Besides, Felicia or whoever Jake mentioned earlier would make a pretty decent Luna."Sergio's expression softened, his gaze fixed on me. "Berries, or should I say Fernanda," he began, his voice earnest, "to me, the bond between mates shouldn’t just be about wolves. It should be about Love, trust, and understanding. And I feel all these when I'm around you."I shifted on the be
"So… what now?" he asked, that mischievous glint still present. "Do you feel like changing from the nightwear Sarah put you in, to a more outgoing dress? I could excuse myself and wait downstairs with Jake, if you want."His words caught me off guard, and I blinked at him, surprised by the sudden offer. It was as if he was extending an unspoken invitation for me to take charge of the situation. My mind raced for a moment, assessing the options. I realized I did need to change for the mission ahead, but having Sergio around while I did so wasn't exactly practical."I'll need someone's help to change," I replied, my tone indicating that his presence wouldn't be particularly helpful in that moment. I hoped he would get the message without feeling slighted.Sergio's expression softened, his understanding evident. "Alright… take this." He reached into a pocket and produced what looked like a sleek, futuristic phone. Handing it to me, he continued, "If you push the Blue button, Sarah will k
"Let's get going," Sergio declared, his voice carrying a touch of authority. His gaze briefly met mine before turning to Jake, and I followed suit, ready to embark on the next phase of our mission.As we made our way to Sergio's sleek Red Bugatti, the anticipation in the air was palpable. Jake's presence behind the wheel exuded confidence, and I settled into the car, my senses heightened by the importance of the upcoming encounter.The road stretched before us, a path toward the Red Moon pack's territory, where our objective awaited us.As we arrived at the gates of the Red Moon pack, the tension in the air became more pronounced. Sergio's actions spoke volumes as he stepped out of the car, murmuring words to the guards. The gates opened with an almost reverent obedience, allowing us to enter the heart of the pack's territory.I couldn't help but wonder how Sergio had achieved such influence, how he had garnered the respect and deference of those guarding the gate. It was a reminder th
Two years passed, and on a full moonlit night, Sergio found himself staring at the starry sky, his heart heavy with longing for Fernanda. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and suddenly, he feels her presence, her spirit whispering on the wind. He turns, his eyes widening in awe, as Fernanda's ethereal form materializes before him. Bathed in the moon's radiance, she had returned, forever bound to him and their pack.Their reunion was bittersweet, tears mingling with memories of their love. Fernanda assures Sergio that she is with him always, a guardian from the Celestial realm. She imparts wisdom and strength, reminding him of the love they shared and the purpose that drives him. She also reminded him about his father's wish, for him to find love once more, and continue his bloodline. With renewed determination, carrying Fernanda's spirit within him. He leads their pack with unwavering resolve, a beacon of light in the darkness. They flourish under his guidance, a testament to the un
As I shared the full account of the events that transpired, a palpable tension hung in the air. The truth unfolded, painting a different picture from the malicious narrative Alpha Draxler had woven. The Rose pack warriors, their eyes now opened, offered sincere apologies for their past misjudgment.With the air cleared, the Rose pack united under their true Alpha. I left them to forge their path ahead, knowing they were in capable hands. It was time to visit Alpha Charles, a figure whose influence had played a crucial role in dismantling the oppressive regime of Draxler.Alpha Charles' mansion stood imposingly against the night sky. As I approached, the grandeur of his hospitality greeted me. "Sergio!" he exclaimed, welcoming me with a warm handshake. The opulence of the surroundings was a stark contrast to the simplicity I was accustomed to, but I appreciated the gesture.We settled into a well-furnished room, surrounded by the trappings of wealth. Alpha Charles poured two glasses of
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the battlefield-turned-cemetery. A day had passed since the clash that defined the fate of the Black Moon pack and their allies against the Midnight Shadow pack led by the now-defeated Alpha Draxler. The air hung heavy with a mix of sorrow and the stench of lingering conflict, as if the very earth itself mourned the sacrifices made.In the midst of the somber aftermath, we gathered for a funeral – a solemn occasion meant to honor those who had fallen, particularly Fernanda, my Luna. Without her physical remains, we fashioned a symbolic grave, a marker of the void left by her celestial departure. The makeshift tombstone stood as a testament to a love lost but not forgotten.The pack, battered and weary, congregated with a shared heaviness in their hearts. Alpha Charles, Trevor, Gabriel, and every surviving member paid their respects. As the sun's last rays painted the sky in hues of orange and red, we stood united in grief.L
*Sergio's POV*The hazy fog lifted from my consciousness, like a heavy curtain slowly ascending, revealing the stark reality around me. The battlefield, a chaotic tapestry of destruction, told a tale of the fierce confrontation that had transpired. My body felt strangely reinvigorated, the energy coursing through me like a revitalizing elixir. Yet, as my senses gradually came into focus, an invisible weight settled over my chest.I blinked, trying to make sense of the world awakening before me. The scent of damp earth and the metallic tang of blood permeated the air, a haunting symphony of war. It took me a moment to register Leo's voice echoing in my mind, the familiar timbre cutting through the disorienting haze."She's gone, Sergio. She performed the celestial rebirth which brought you back to life, but at the cost of hers. She truly loved you, bro."Leo's words hung in the air, a heavy truth that crashed over me like a tidal wave. My heart, once numb from the battle's aftermath, no
In the solitude of grief, I felt an unexpected presence behind me. It wasn't the mortal scent of Lycans; it was something that harmonized with the very essence of Nature itself. The energy surrounding this presence intensified with each passing second, casting a mysterious aura in the air. Curiosity, like a dormant flame, flickered to life within me.With Sergio's still form beside me, I turned around slowly to face the enigmatic force. The figure that materialized before me was ethereal, its demeanor transcending mortal boundaries. It held an otherworldly grace, as though it were a deity descended to the earthly realm. My senses tingled with an unfamiliar energy as I tried to comprehend the nature of this being.As I observed, I realized a peculiar similarity between its essence and mine. The realization dawned slowly, like a gentle sunrise. Was this figure my predecessor, a manifestation of celestial ancestry? The confusion swirling within my mind became a tempest of uncertainty.The
*Fernanda's POV*I lay there on the cold, unforgiving floor, my breaths coming in ragged gasps as I struggled to regain composure. Damian, the embodiment of malevolence, circled me like a vulture reveling in its imminent feast. He seemed amused by my vulnerability, his eyes gleaming with triumph. As he towered over me, I couldn't summon the strength to utter a single word."Catch your breath, Fernanda. We have all the time in the world," Damian mocked, a wicked grin etched across his face. The pain in my abdomen still pulsed, a constant reminder of the recent battle I had fought so desperately to survive."Cat got your tongue?" he taunted, oblivious to my silent suffering. I felt his strong grip on my throat, lifting me effortlessly. The world blurred around me as I choked on both physical and emotional pain. His words cut deeper than any physical wound."You shouldn't have escaped that night," Damian accused, his voice dripping with venom. "Now all the people you love will die because
Sergio's POV*The moon hung in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the battlefield strewn with shadows of the combatants. Breathing heavily, I felt the weight of the shifting tides of the fight. Beside me, Charles and Trevor fought valiantly, their fur matted with sweat and blood. The stench of the ongoing battle lingered in the crisp night air.As we clashed with Draxler, the realization slowly crept upon me – stamina, that elusive fuel of strength, was depleting. A subtle exhaustion coursed through me, and my limbs began to protest. Glancing at Charles and Trevor, their struggles mirrored my own. We were warriors, but even warriors had limits.My lips parted, and a muttered realization escaped, almost a subconscious whisper to Leo, my faithful wolf companion. "Running out of stamina," I confessed quietly, as if sharing a secret with my loyal confidant. Leo's eyes gleamed with understanding, a silent acknowledgment of the shared burden we bore.Alpha Draxler, sensing our vulnerabil
Grinjo's fur bristled with confidence, and his red eyes bore into mine with a mix of arrogance and challenge. I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline, my senses heightened in the primal dance of the battleground. The clash of our packs served as a chaotic backdrop, but in that moment, it was just Grinjo and me, two betas bound by loyalty and duty.He started the conversation, his deep growl carrying a hint of mockery, "You know, Jake, you've got so much potential. It's a shame you're throwing it all away for such a petty reason."I shot him a puzzled look, the words hanging in the air like a lingering challenge. "Petty reason? What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned, my fur prickling with curiosity.Grinjo's lips curled into a snarl, his gaze narrowing. "Protecting your Alpha's woman, that's what. You think that's worth risking everything for?"The accusation hung heavy between us, and I couldn't comprehend how safeguarding my Alpha's mate could be deemed petty. My loyalty w
Breaking the silence, Jake's voice reverberated through the night. "Which one of you wants to come at me first?" he challenged, his tone carrying the weight of authority. Grinjo, smirking with confidence, stepped forward, ready to accept the challenge. "Don't get so cocky now," he retorted. "You're still young and inexperienced. What makes you think you could take me alone, much less along with Damian? I think you're getting ahead of yourself, and it'll be my pleasure to put fools like you in your place."The tension between the two wolves simmered, the air thickening with the promise of impending confrontation. Grinjo, with a determined glint in his glowing red eyes, began the transformative process into his own wolf form. A massive ash wolf emerged, its red eyes gleaming in the moonlight. While as large as Jake, Grinjo lacked the same intimidating presence.Turning to Damian, Jake challenged him to join the impending clash. "And you? Aren't you going to shift? Or are you scared?" he
