The Plus size luna CHAPTER 11
Maxine sat at her desk in the classroom, an open notebook of the book before her and an infinite distance in her thoughts. Beside her, Sarah babbled away about the upcoming vacation. The two of them had been talking about the break for weeks, but something today was sending Sarah to new levels of excitement. Maxine felt as if her fake smile of excitement was being strained by Sarah's energy. "So, Maxine, have you decided what you're going to do over the break? My family is heading to that new resort in the mountains, and you should totally come with us! It's going to be amazing!" she went on, with her eyes glistening with excitement. Maxine sighed. "I haven't really made any plans. I don't know what I'll do yet. Maybe just stay at home and catch up on some reading." "'Aww, c'mon! You gotta come with us. It'll be loads of fun, and you need a break from school. Besides, it'll be good to get off campus away from all the drama," she persisted, her voice full of real concern. Before

Alph strode to the length of his room; his mind was in a whirl. The words had spread like wildfire—there had been a death near the university, a body found in the forest just at the outskirts of the campus grounds. It wasn't a student, and with that, an unknown person made it even more dangerous. Howling City managed to hide the existence of wolves from the human population for decades, and Hampton University was the only institution of its kind, where wolves could live and learn away from human eyes. There was a lot at stake. If news about the death were to get out, or worse still, if the wolves were suspected, no one knew what would probably ensue. What might unravel in an instant had taken decades of careful balance. Earlier that morning, his father—the pack's current alpha—had called him into his study. The room was lit with dim light; the heavy curtains were drawn to block out the morning sun. The air had hung heavy with the weight of the responsibility, as his father—a tall, im

**Maxine POV**I burst through the gates of the university, my breath coming in short, panic-laden gasps, my heart still pounding from the confrontation in the woods with Alph, his harsh words merging into my mind with the terrifying recollections of the attack of the Frey. The blood, the violence; it was all too real, too close. I'd never been so close to death before, yet it left a heavy weight upon my chest.I slowed slightly, nearing the main building, to try to slow the pace of my thoughts. My hands still shook, and I could already feel the adrenaline withdrawal, becoming lightheaded and weak. I didn't know what to do or where to go. All I knew was that I needed to steer clear of Coreen at all costs.But fate was playing another hand, as I rounded the corner. "Hear that, darlin'? The players want their muse back!" That laugh—Coreen's mocking, still irritating laugh—wrapped my stomach in knots as, walking near the entrance, I spotted her and Fiona leaning against the wall, their v

**Maxine Pov**It had grown darker, and I was working my way back home, my mind knotted with all that happened out in the woods earlier. The dark streets were little comfort, and the chill of the air only seemed to intensify this eerie feeling that clung to me. I could hardly believe what I had seen, what I had barely escaped from.My mind was on rerun with the scenario, but a dark figure just filled my line of vision, the overwhelming feeling of being in grave danger, and then… Alph. He showed up at just the right time, but why was he there? The question just gnawed at me, but I couldn't piece together some sort of meaning.I stood at the front door and hesitated. It seemed I was a different person than the one who had left this house that morning. I opened the door, took a deep breath, and stepped inside into the dark hallway. The house was quiet, holding its breath, so to say. No signs of anybody—no Alph, no Mother, nor the maid.Relief washed over me, yet it was short-lived. The m

The water cascaded over Alph's skin, the rhythm of droplets pelting the shower floor was oddly soothing. But his mind was anything but at ease. Every drip seemed to resonate with the worry gnawing at him, a reminder of what had transpired in the woods. He knew the truth of it—this wasn't just some random act of violence. It was one of them. Cevillian pack.The Cevillian pack had always been a thorn in the side of any wolf who sought peace. Unlike his own pack, which had learned to live with humans, the Cevillian pack had never accepted the arrangement. They abhorred them, thinking of them as nothing but a threat, an element that needed to be wiped off the face of the earth. They had waited a long number of years just for the opportune moment to strike, which would soon ignite a war and disrupt the delicate balance they had worked so hard to maintain.Alph rubbed a hand over his face, and the moment pressed in all the more. All of the years spent trying not to be noticed, all those yea

Maxine trudged toward the university gates, trying to scrape off the remnants of fatigue from her inside the way one does grime. It was early, far too early for her liking, but the brightness in the air and the buzz of energy around the campus were unmistakable signs that summer was just around the corner. As she got nearer the gate, she heard a familiar voice call out."Maxine!" Sarah waved with zeal, almost hopping on the same spot. She was excited, and her excitement blazed, even if Maxine couldn't catch it.Maxine plastered a smile on her face, hoping it would look convincing, and said, "What's with that energy?" She kept her tone light, and inside, she wished she had a fraction of the enthusiasm Sarah seemed to have."Why wouldn't I be energetic? We've only got two days left, and then it's summer!" Sarah said with a grin, excitement reflecting in her eyes about the break that would soon be at hand.Maxine nodded, though her heart wasn't in it. "Well, that's true," she agreed. "Bu

The school day had been long and uneventful, and as the final bell rang, Maxine collected her things, the weight of the day's mysteries still pressing on her mind. Sarah was chattering excitedly beside her about plans for the summer."See you later, Maxine!" Sarah called as they came to the spot in the road where they had to split off toward their homes.There was a wan aspect to Maxine's smile; it didn't really reach her eyes. "Yeah, see you," she said, then watched Sarah walk away. She looked toward Leo, who was hanging around the gate with a very serious look on his face.Without conscious thought, Maxine found that she was slowing, her feet moving of their own volition as they began to trail behind Leo at a safe distance, the one that wouldn't make her conspicuous. He was striding left on campus, near the forest, taking a path that Maxine rarely took because it led to the fringes of the town—a place she had little cause to see.Leo set the pace, and soon Maxine was standing near t

Alph and Trevor were seating in Trevor's badly lit sitting room, a dense quietude dropping between them. Martin lay full-length on the couch, paging through a futile magazine. The discourse was melancholy, centered on the killings of people in those woods, which had rather ceased for no reason five days ago."The killings have stopped, but that does not mean we should become complacent," he said, his tone steady. "The threat could still be out there, waiting to strike again."Martin nodded grimly. "Of course. This will not be a time to get complacent. We have to be on our guard."Alph leaned forward, his eyes sharp. "Have you heard anything about the new student who transferred into Coreen's group?"Trevor shook his head. "Nope. Why?”Martin looked up from his magazine. "If Coreen agreed to him, there was more to do with him. But to be honest, I am not familiar with the fellow."Alph had a tormented look. "Tomorrow, we have to trail him at 6 p.m. on his way to the music store."Trevor

Thirteen Years Later…."Maxine, your daughter was found in the woods," the messenger said his voice quivering in shock and disbelief. "It's not confirmed yet, but the healer said her blood matches yours. It is … from your bloodline."Maxine froze, the aching ache of longing in her chest now replaced by the flicker of hope that she hadn't felt for years. She had scoured the earth for Hannah, year after year, refusing to let go of hope. The pack continued to move forward, living and thriving, but for Maxine, her heart was suspended in time. Since Hannah was taken from her by Leo, nothing in her life had held the promise of joy ever again.Rededicating herself, Maxine sped off to the healer's chambers. As she entered, her breath caught in her throat. There lay, on the bed, a young woman who resembled she had been taken from the very pages of Maxine's memory—a young Hadzen, her son, at the age that had passed since his own existence. This young woman was carrying his features that so clos

Hannah P.O.V.It was going to be perfect. Tonight. I wore my white dress. Wildflowers clutched in my hand. The heartbeats in my chest are not from fear but with excitement. It's going to be the beginning of our new life. Now he stood before me at the altar, his face alight with a radiant smile as he looked out at me as if I were his entire world, the small circle of his family smiling warmly to engulf me in a feeling of belonging that, up to now, I had never known."Victor," I panted, barely above a whisper. This was it. We were here finally, about to promise our lives to each other. Away from the craziness, away from the world of packs and politics, we had found a haven within the humans. We could just. exist. Love. Grow.But I could take only one step in his direction when a sound pierced the stillness, like a knife. A heavy thud of paws on earth. My body tensed, my instincts screaming at me. I knew that sound. Wolves.They descended upon us before I even had time to react.The cere

Days slipped by, going to waste and slipping past one another in that little village where Lenor and her family dwelled. Hannah could see reason in her new life; she curled up in their little house in the warm spots and clutched a blanket she had spotted the first night there - light in scent with a fragrant smell of lavender - which Lenor brought home those aspects of comfort after years of love and care.In those early days, her quiet sobs filled the home, breaking the silence every morning and night. Only Victor, the ten-year-old boy who found her by the riverbank, could sometimes pull her out of her sadness." Hadzen…," she would whisper the name of her brother, softly, as if a fragile yet determined voice; as if saying it may somehow bring him closer: "Hadzen… "Victor would sit there, looking at her with a tearful light of sadness and determination in his eyes. He didn't understand the depth of her pain but could see how much she was hurting, and he wanted to help. After digging

"Hadzen!"The hysterical voice echoed through the night as Hadzen leapt out of bed his heart pounding. He could hardly see the figure in the darkness on the balcony but he knew he wouldn't mistake that shriek."Hannah!" he yelled jumping to his feet as his twin sister's body was dragged away by a tall, dark figure.Looking over his shoulder, he flashed Hadzen a derisive smile before leaping over the balcony. "Catch you later, Hadzen."He plunged into darkness with Hannah's screams."HANNAH!" Hadzen shouted, sprinting toward the balcony-but she was already gone."Hadzen! Wake up!" his mother cried in a panic, shaking him out of dazed shock.Hadzen blinked, dazed. To his left was his mom, Maxine, crying, her face streaked with tears, scared. His father, Alph, paced around the room, scanning everywhere, up and down."Where's Hannah?" Hadzen stuttered his words, his voice thick with panic. He looked to the bedside he shared with Hannah; she was gone."M-mom. she was here, right next to me
The Plus size luna Chapter 87
Five years had passed since then, and the children's laughter was again louder, as Hannah and Hadzen played with their cousin Dylan under the great oak tree in the courtyard of their estate, a warm afternoon spent in sheer energy as the three children ran round the great oak tree in the garden."Hannah! Slow up, wait for me!" he yelled as he chased after her as she plunged toward the tree. He had just been bumped by Tylan, their family friend, and was laughing as he tried to catch up with Hannah who always seemed faster."Catch me if you can, Dylan!" she laughed as her brown curls bounced and she climbed higher into the branches of the tree.Hadzen sat on a nearby bench, with a book in his lap, reading and looked up from his story with a frown. "Hey, don't be so noisy!" he said sternly.Hannah stopped half-way up the tree, looked down to Dylan who stood under, panting. The two looked at each other, their mischievous grins even as they understood each other without words — this was som

Eight months had passed since the arrival of her twins, Hannah and Hadzen, and the house was full of baby laughter and gentle cooing. Sunbeams streamed through the windows as she sat on the floor playing with Hannah cradled in her arms. "Dada, tell him Dada," Maxine said, nodding towards Alph, who was sitting nearby cuddling their son Hadzen.Hannah's look remained steady, directed up at Alph as her mouth worked on the syllables with a visible effort. "Da-ah," she said, her voice unstable but clear enough to send a shiver down Maxine's spine.Maxine opened her eyes widely in amazement. "Oh my gosh! You spoke!" she squealed, hugging Hannah closer. "That is my baby girl, such a rapid learner!Not to be outdone, Alph grinned and held Hadzen aloft in the air, bouncing him lightly. "Okay, little man, let's show your mom what you've got. Can you say 'Ma-ma'?"`Hadzen was shrieking with laughter as Alph twirled him around, his chubby little hands reaching up toward his dad. Though no words

There she lay in the bed, her body now enervated but the spirit of her high and big. She could hear the softly crying sounds of her newborns-the twin babies that she had fought hard to bring into this world. They were perfect, tiny, with so much life within them. One boy, one girl. She already decided on the names: Hannah and Hadzen. And as she looked at them there, all rolled up in their cradles, they all seemed like such ordinary babies. Their innocence filled the room, and it was quite impossible to believe that so much danger still surrounded them.Her heart hurts to love and to worry for them. She was a mother now, and truly, she wanted to be able to protect them. However, at the back of her mind is the warning her mother had given her: the curse of the eclipse essence. It still lingers over her, over her family. She needed to know the truth.Coreen, her stepsister, stood in the same room with her maids. She had come to visit as soon as she heard about the birth, but Maxine could

Miranda paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, her heart racing as she tried to keep her tears from falling. The weight of her decision was suffocating, and her chest tightened with every step she took. She glanced at Erick, her oldest and closest confidant, hoping he might have some way to ease the unbearable pain in her heart. But his face was set, his eyes focused."You know what will happen!" Miranda snapped, her voice breaking under the pressure. "I already told you that! This isn’t just some story or legend. It’s real, Erick."Erick leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. "I know, Miranda, I know. But we have to do it anyway. We don’t have many options left.""What options?" Miranda's voice was laced with frustration as she threw her hands into the air. "What way out do you think we have? I don’t want to lose Maxine! She’s the only one I have left." Her voice faltered as her fear took hold. "You know how dangerous it is to have the eclipse essence in one bloodline. I

Maxine poured milk into a glass, watching it swirl before handing it to Coreen. She looked at her sister’s swollen belly, trying to imagine what it would be like to hold her own child in her arms.“So, you and Trevor?” Maxine asked, raising an eyebrow as she leaned against the counter.Coreen grinned, placing a hand on her round stomach. “I didn’t know I’d fall for that jerk, either,” she admitted with a laugh. “But he’s hot, I’ll give him that.”They both burst into laughter, the sound filling the small kitchen. It felt good to share a moment of levity, especially given how serious everything had become lately.“How many months now?” Maxine asked, her gaze flickering to Coreen’s belly as she took a sip from her own glass.“Eight,” Coreen replied, her voice casual despite the significance. “It all started after that one wild night, and well… it just kept going from there.”Maxine shook her head, smiling. “So, you’re about a month ahead of me, huh? You always were a bit ahead of the ga
