Samantha's POVI opened my eyes and slowly gazed around, at first, everything was in a blur but my vision gradually cleared, and the beeping of the monitor alerted me that I was in a hospital. The door opened and Damien walked in, looking so worried, "finally, thank God that you are awake" he rushed towards me and checked my pupils, "I was so worried" Relief echoed in his voice as he grabbed my hands"When did you get back?" I asked, I had to force the words out of my mouth because my throat felt patched and dried"Some hours ago, I met you unconscious on our room floor""What is wrong with me?" I asked, he is the pack's doctor after all, and by now, he must have deciphered what was wrongHe gently brushed his fingers against my cheek, "you are pregnant Sam,"My heart skipped a bit and joy flooded my heart, "a baby my love, I am going to have your baby" I said in excitement and tried to sit up but Damien held me "You shouldn't bother, you are still very weak"I noticed that he was se
Ariana's POVI paced around in the room, it's been a week since Dylan and I had that argument and a week since he last checked on me, I guess he was too busy with his new mate to care anymore, my home had suddenly become such an unwanted place for me, I had to tiptoe around it or be holed up in this room because I was scared of moving out, the whispers and pity look from pack members was getting to me. I had to leave but where do I go? Back to the human world where I was rejected and scorned? I felt tensed and terrified by just the thought of going back there, what if someone recognized me?I sat on my bed and tears rolled down my cheeks, how did I and Dylan end up this way? Our love was strong but now I guess it was gone forever.Today was the annual werewolves festival at the city council, it was important for all wolves to be present along with their Luna, Dylan hadn't even said anything about it to me, was he planning to go alone? Well, if he asks me to go with him, I might go but
Everyone was silent for a moment as they stared at Dylan and Lilith, some stared at them with a look of mockery while others had a look of distaste on their face"What are you going to do about her? Is she going to be the new Luna of The Blood Moon pack?" Someone asked"Say yes Dylan, I do not want to be embarrassed" Lilith murmured into her ears"Yes! I am going to make her my Luna" Dylan responded and there were collected gasps of shockDamien had just arrived at the festival and could not believe what he was hearing, "what are you saying Alpha?" He asked Dylan through their mind link, "You can't possibly leave Ariana for this Omega"The molten color of Dylan's eyes alerted Damien that he was pissed already and he was even more confused, he wasn't acting like the Dylan he knew, something was just not adding up"Ariana left already" Dylan clenched"And you're just going to let her go?" Damien was baffled at his friend's attitude, the Dylan he knew would do anything to keep Ariana "S
Sabrina's POVI watched as Damien paced our room in agitation, his fists were clenched tightly and his shoulders were wound up tight"I can not believe Dylan would do something like that, that Omega must have done something to be controlling him" Well, I was surprised too that Dylan would do something like that but I do not buy the insinuation that he must be doing so under the influence of something"Maybe he has always been this way but we just didn't see it""Dylan has never been this way" he yelled and I raised my hands as if in surrender, Okay! Okay, however, the way he has been, the fact remains that he hurt my sister and I don't think I can ever forgive him for that""Where is Ariana, she has to come back and talk sense into him""My sister is not going back to that jerk" I replied, irritated that he would even make such a suggestion"She has to, at this point, I fear for the safety of this pack if Dylan ends up with that Omega""Nothing will happen to the pack. Your friend ma
Author's POVDamien stood in the shadows in front of the Alpha's house, he did not know what he expected to see, the only thing he knew was that something was wrong and fishy about Lilith and he had to find out.He hid in the shadows for so long that he was almost giving up, perhaps his suspicions were wrong, leaving his pregnant wife at home and chasing shadows was not worth it at all but as he made to leave, a shadow moved from the corner of his eyes and a figure covered in a cloak was moving hastily into the forest and judging from the height, he could tell that it was Lilith.Where was she going at this hour? He wrinkled his nose and tried to trail her scent but oddly, she had no scent. Who was this woman and what exactly was her mission against the pack? He swiftly kept her in view and followed behind her, occasionally hiding himself behind a tree when she turned around.She twitched her nose, damn, she must have perceived my scent, even if she was an Omega, I must not forget tha
Samantha was worried, it's been four days and she hadn't seen nor heard from Damien, she was sure that something must have happened to him. He had wanted to find out what was wrong with Dylan and had gone to his place and that was the last time that she set her eyes on him.Samantha had gone to see Dylan, to inquire about Damien but she was intercepted by Lilith who claimed that Dylan was on bed rest hence she could not see him. She wondered what was wrong with Dylan so that he could be on bed rest, Damien was right about one thing and that was there was something going on in the pack, an impending doom was about to unleash.Samantha had been shocked to find out about Dylan's wedding which was the next day, someone on bed rest was about to do the wedding the next day? Perhaps, it was time to seek Ariana, she could try and stop the wedding and also talk some sense onto Dylan. She was once the love of his life, so, there was a chance that he could still somehow listen to her. That way,
Author's POVLilith gazed around the crowd that had come for her wedding with Dylan, only that there wasn't going to be a wedding, it was going to be a bloodbath.Erasmus and his soldiers were set already. She had intentionally not invited the werewolf's council of elders nor had she invited any external pack because she does not want any external complications.She was a little bit tensed anyway because she wanted everything to go smoothly"What happened to the Alpha?" The people murmured immediately Dylan showed up, he did not look good and they were concerned. They hadn't seen him for days and Lilith made sure of that, although, they thought nothing of it then as they thought he was spending private time with his new mate and that Lilith was only acting by his instructions."He doesn't look good" they murmured"Alpha, are you okay?" But Dylan could only stare at them without uttering a word"Enough everyone, he will be fine" Lilith announced, "listen up everyone, as you can see, th
Ariana's POVI paced in my room feeling agitated, today was Dylan's wedding to Lilith and I could not get what Samantha had told me the previous day out of my head, she had sounded so sure about what she was saying and at the same time, seemed so distraught because she does not know where Damien could be. All these could be just false alarms and Damien might be off somewhere doing some hunting or whatever and Dylan could be enjoying the time of his life with his new Luna and they think that I could do anything to stop the wedding, ridiculous."Damn you Sam" I whispered, she had succeeded in putting some silly ideas into my head and now, I find myself leaving my house to go to the pack. I would just stay somewhere and observe, I would leave immediately after I confirm that Sam's suspicion was wrong, I can't wait to tell her "I told you so".The pack was eerily quiet, today was supposed to be the Alpha's wedding and it was as quiet as a graveyard and plain as hell, there wasn't an iota
Author's POVDamien paced outside the door where Sam and Ariana were, he was asked by Dylan to protect the ladies while the battle raged outside and he wished he was out there to help his friend, the noise of the battle and howls of wolves filled the air."What's going on?" He asked the werewolf he had sent to check on how the fight was going on outside"They are not dying" the wolf replied with a voice filled with fear and trepidation laced down Damien's spine"What do you mean by they are not dying?" He asked"The wizard's men kept coming back to life, it's as if they have numerous lives, the Alpha even bit the wizard but he stood back up"A soft gasp from behind him had Damien turning around to see Ariana holding onto the doorframe"Luna, what are you doing? You are supposed to be in bed" Damien said and quickly walked toward her"There must be a way to make them die, there must be," Ariana said and stared at Damien, did you find anything when you were captured?Damien shook his he
Lilith gazed around the crowd that had gathered for her supposed wedding with Dylan and was surprised to see the Lycan king and some Alphas from other packs, who had invited them? Were they expecting this wedding? She had proposed the wedding to Dylan only yesterday and it was solely her idea, he would not have had the time to invite them right? There was barely any preparation done.Her nerves were almost frayed with nervousness already and she was so tensed but today was the day she and Erasmus had planned to take over the pack and nothing could stop them. If the Lycan king and the others want to be at the party, then they are welcomed.Where the hell was Dylan? He had asked her to go out while he got the contract, what was taking him so long? Erasmus and his soldiers were set already. She had intentionally not invited the werewolf's council of elders nor had she invited any external pack because she did not want any external complications but somehow, external packs had found thei
Author's POVLilith dashed towards Erasmus's house, she could not wait to tell him the news about her success, by tomorrow, the Blood Moon pack would no longer existShe paused when she got there and saw him screaming angrily outside, something must have upset him this much and she ran the remaining distance toward him"Master, are you okay?" She asked with a worried frown as she gazed around to see what might have upset him this much"Is the deed done?" he asked and turned towards her"Yes, Erasmus, the wedding is set for tomorrow and we shall attack by then, the contract will be signed by then"He narrowed his eyes on her, "the contract has not been signed? What the hell are you still waiting for since you have him under your control""He got sick when he was about to sign it earlier and...""Excuses...I don't care about it, get him to sign it tonight" he clenched out and gazed at her meaningfully, "unless, you have developed a soft spot for him""No way in hell, that will ever happ
Author's POV Damien opened his eyes and groaned in pain, "where am I?" He whispered as he stared around, damn, he was not supposed to go unconscious.He sat up and groaned a little, damn it, he was in so much pain and he had been in and out of this excruciating pain for God knows how long, his head was pounding furiously, "damn you and your wizard Lilith" he muttered and gazed around for anything that he could use to boost himself to a standing position. He felt so weak and his bones cracked in pain as he pushed himself up, he had to get out of there, he hadn't even learned anything about the staff that Ariana spoke about.The room where he was kept was empty and he wondered if the wizard was close by or if he had gone out, he hoped for the latter because right now, he was too weak to fight He slowly moved towards the door but as expected, it was locked from the outside, he placed his ear on the door, listening for sound from the other end but heard none, it would seem like Erasmus
Author's POV "What the hell did you just do?" Dylan screamed at Sam and dashed towards Ariana'she said that was the only way to bring your back""Bring me back from where? Dylan asked as he tried to stop the flow of blood"Let's get her treated first then I'll tell you everything""I'll go and get your husband," Dylan said standing to leave"That's not possible" Sam quickly grabbed his hand to keep him from going outDylan frowned at her impatiently, Look, despite you being my sister-in-law, I should be punishing you for this""Calm down Dylan, first of all, Damien is not available, secondly, you cannot let anyone know about what happened here and lastly, I need you here to help or I might lose a sister and you, a wife. After all, it's your fault that this happened to her"Dylan stared at her in bewilderment, "hang on, how is this my fault? You stabbed her""She asked me to" Samantha replied curtly as she tore Ariana's clothes to view the wound"She asked you to stab her and you jus
Ariana's POV I stretched lazily and could not stop the smile that sprang to my lips as my last escapade with Dylan filtered through my mind.I touched Dylan's side of the bed but he was nowhere to be found, I slowly dressed up and went downstairs.The loud cheers and music that filled the air reminded me that the festival was still ongoing, it was way past midnight and I was sure that those pack of wolves was going to be there until dawnI sighted Dylan seated at the head of his table, enjoying his drink while watching those dancing and cheering, I smiled and made my way toward him"I see that you are enjoying yourself," I said and placed my hands on his shoulders with a small kiss on his cheek"Ariana," he said but made no move whatsoever to return my kiss, he did not seem happy to see me and I frowned"What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled by his odd behavior"Nothing, I am tired and need my rest" he stood up and walked away"What the hell just happened? Why was he suddenly acting cold t
Lilith's POVI watched as Dylan finally came downstairs to join in the pack's festival celebration, he had left me at the council's celebration without a second thought and I had to find my way back to the pack.If I did not hate him so much, I would have said that I admired how much he loves his wife, I could say that I was almost jealous of the kind of bond that they both shared, not even the thought that I was also his mate could alter that bond but then, I was furious because their bond was really messing up with my plans and Erasmus was beginning to get agitated and impatient with me.My heart soared when I saw that he was coming downstairs alone, that meant his wife would not be hovering around him like a vulture and messing up my plans.The celebration was ongoing and there was dancing, drinking, and dining in the pack, this was my opportunity to add the elixir to his drink and finally have him eating out of my palms. I quickly poured his favorite French wine into a glass, and
Ariana's POV "Can I have the next dance?" I heard a voice say as soon as the music stopped and I turned to see the Alpha of the Red Moon pack standing behind me.Dylan frowned and I knew he was going to kick the ass of the Alpha that made such a request but before he could say anything, I smiled at the Alpha, "of course" I replied and placed my hand in his.Red Moon pack was one of the strongest packs in the werewolf's kingdom and this was a great opportunity for me to make him an ally, I needed to know those that I could rely on when I sent for themDylan's face was thunderous, he was not too pleased having his Luna in another man's arms, well, he would have to deal with it because what I was doing was for the betterment of our pack.I swayed in the arms of the Alpha of Red Moon pack and he drew me close to him, "you look beautiful tonight" I arched my brow at him as we moved synthetically to the rhythm of the song, "you mean pitiable right? Not beautiful" I replied, testing the wa
Author's POVLilith could not believe what Ariana had offered to her on a platter of gold. Perhaps, Ariana was not as smart as she had thought and had fallen for her act, she smiled inwardly as she thought of how best to use this opportunity presented to her. Erasmus will be damn proud of her, she needed Ariana to fall completely into her trap, and by the time she realizes just how much she was hated, it would be too late because she would have carried out her plans and destroyed the pack Right now, she just needed to look for the right opportunity to give Dylan the elixir so that he would be totally under her control.There were whispers as soon as Dylan got to the festival with Lilith, news had reached other packs that the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack had a new mate but they were not too sure how true it was.How could he choose an Omega over his beautiful and powerful wife who risked everything just to be with him? He could have just rejected this mate and kept on with his wife bu
