VIVIANA
I felt a thrill. A volt of electricity run down my spine. I had my shift times and again, but this time; it was something else. Something I had never experienced. Something foreign and sweet.
Sweet like a temptation. Sweet to an extent that you can’t resist, even if you wish. The more you resist, the sweeter it gets. In the end, you find yourself chained in that sweet enticement.
I was; no doubt, Chained. I didn’t want to be released. Not so soon. Not yet.
Even after the shift back to my human form, my eyes kept glowing the blue. This…had never happened before.
Ever.
“It's different,” I whispered in my mind.
Miracle was active already. She responded with a low guttural sound. It was like a cat purr, soft, and in agreement. She was joyous too.
“I share the feeling.” Miracle responded.
My eyes drifted back to the man who just muttered something, I didn’t like. Miracl
VIVIANA“Are you certain, Luna?” Came the stammering words from Noah. Was he having a hard time? I nodded blankly, not knowing why he asked me such a question. I didn’t smile this time. It would add to his lame doubts only.“Why? Can’t you even do that, Noah?” I narrowed my eyes at him.He looked at me with a strange expression. He needed some time to gulp this all.“I- I will get it done, Luna,” Noah said and ran away. I was in my thoughts. I had to confront Mr. Garter. There was much more to him than just a feeling I had in the pit of my core. And I, Viviana Miracle, was going to find that.“You want me to sniff him?” Miracle sounded thrilled. I rolled my eyes at her. When was she not? It was once in a lifetime opportunity for her. How could she let it slip from her paws?“Yeah! Noah dodged my humble request with his mannerism. So, I guess we are on our own. But…. Let
VIVIANA “Must you do that? In this way? You dragged me here, without my will? Let me go, you little nasty girl. Right now.” Mr. Garter whined and whined. He never stayed silent the whole way.I covered my ears reflexively. It was so hard and difficult to deal with a man who keeps bickering.“Don’t you know how to shut your bloody mouth, old man?” I turned to look at him. Mr. Garter smirked.Now, what was with this smirk?“Let me go. If the news reached Alpha Alaric, you will be punished. I am a respected member of the werewolf counsel. You are nothing.” He sneered.I gestured for Winter to drop him over the chair ahead of him and chain him. He did. Mr. Garter kept staring at Winter.I stood straight and crossed my arms over my chest. I radiated dominance. I was the one to rule. How dare he call me a nasty little girl!“Good work, Winter. Let him be like
ALARIC Viviana had me whipped with her puppy-eyed look. I couldn’t deny anything she said. I had to let her wander on the premises of The Samara. But I was restless. Moon had been trying to calm me down, but I was over the edge.“Moon, you can link with Miracle, right? Connect with her and ask about Viviana’s whereabouts.” I almost ordered Moon. He sighed in the back of my mind.I wasted nearly an hour pacing back and forth in the pack office. Noah had been to Goddess knows where! That brat! He always sneaked around in times of need. I rubbed my palms and waited for Moon to reach Miracle.He growled after a few seconds. Those seconds passed like years.“I tried. But Miracle is out of reach.” Moon mumbled in a low incoherent voice.“What do you mean? You can’t reach Miracle? But you marked her, and she did too. Why can’t you reach her?&rdquo
VIVIANA “Take your seat, Killian. We have a business to do.” I ordered Killian Garter. He was standing like a statue. He didn’t utter any words, just some inaudible whispers. He kept switching his gaze between me and the sun.Winter approached me again with my clothes.“Luna, you can put these on if you feel like it.” He stepped back after I got a hold of my clothes and put them on. The fire was intense enough to burn anyone who approached me. But it wasn’t anything to me. It was a shield. Normal on the inside, burning on the outside.I never knew Miracle was capable of doing all these things. She was way too powerful. What if I could t have controlled her back then! She must have killed Killian Garter. He was the only hope in this scenario. I pushed those thoughts back and composed myself.The walls, the chains, the gloominess were all gone. It was replaced by a terror. That terror was
VIVIANAI groaned in sleep. Something was weighing over my tummy. I opened my sleepy eyes and looked around. Oh, I was in the wild, near the lake. We didn’t go home last night!I tried to turn around, but Alaric's arm kept me from moving. He pushed into me more from behind. My ass kissed his crotch. His lips found their way over my back. I sniffed myself.I reeked of sex. Wild. Crazy. Rough. Dominant and wanting sex. We had sex! Oh, crap. I was in heat last night?“No, you weren’t. But you will be soon.” Miracle entered.“Why can’t you leave me alone for a second, Miracle? It’s just the morning for Christ’s sake!” I was irritated. Miracle chuckled. Oh! She won’t leave. How could she! We were a part of each other.I felt Alaric's hardness push into me from behind. Sudden! It was so fucking sudden! I gasped. He was so hard. His raspy breaths reverberated in my ears with every stroke.
VIVIANA Numbness was a strange emotion for me. I experienced it before. Only once. When the woman made it to my mind. She played everything like a movie. She almost haunted me.This was the second time. The Blood Wind Valley had something in its name. I pushed it way too much. Witch! I didn’t want to go that far. Only if the woman didn’t murder my parents!Killian looked into my expressions. I was quiet. I didn’t know what I was feeling. Was I stunned? Was I agitated? Was I angry? Was I shocked? Was I afraid? What was it? I couldn’t decipher this. I stood. I made my way towards the exit. Killian’s voice stopped me.“I can see you are disturbed. Angered.” He cracked laughter. A weird one. “No matter how strong you are Sun-wolf Luna, at the end of the day, You. Are. Scared. You are scared of the witches. But only the witches can help you this time.” Killian laughed like a mania
ALARIC Never had I ever had any doubts when it came to Viviana. She was not just my mate, the Luna of this pack. She was much more. Way more. She was my everything. She claimed my heart with her eyes and now she rules it with her mind.Viviana was my woman, my love, and my only partner in this life. I couldn’t even think about being without her. That thought itself was suffocating.Father told me to believe her. I did. Even when she lied to me. I still didn’t cross-question her. Why? Why she didn’t want me to get involved with her affairs? It drove me insane. I yelled.Noah kept standing in his place. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t do anything. He just reported about Selena. I was in the pack office. And my mind was with my lady love. My Viviana.What must she be doing right now? Would she like again, if asked? I was getting anxious. Uneasiness it was.“Noah! Let’s go ho
VIVIANA Mr. Garter was sent home safely. I made sure that Winter did the job. Baspo joined me outside the packhouse. I was confused? Well, I wasn’t. I made a promise to myself. I couldn’t turn back now. I didn’t know what to do? Where to start? I was going insane.The voices in my head made me insane. Alaric’s words, Alpha dad’s suggestions, Mr. Garter’s grinning face, and Miracle’s nagging. These things made a loop and I was stuck in that for now.I reflexively covered my ears. Baspo cleared his throat.“My Luna, are you okay?” His voice held concern. I managed myself and nodded. I wasn’t okay, but I had to. For Alaric. I couldn’t let him sense this.Miracle had been a good wolf. She didn’t need to be told again. She would stay silent till I feel like confessing everything to Alaric. At least, that was a relief.My sole motto was to find that
~TWO YEARS LATER~ALARICI had a meeting to attend in the other state. I checked the clock. It was already 8 in the morning. And I was making breakfast. I flipped the pancake-like a pro. Satisfaction washed over me. I recalled my earlier cooking days. It was such a mess. I was punished every time I was mistaken, or something burned.And my judge was none other than my beautiful wife, Viviana. Yes, we got married almost a year and a half ago. Viviana insisted I learn how to cook. She wanted privacy. So, we didn’t have any regular cooks or maids.It was an advantage. We used to fuck everywhere in the house. It was such a time. Even after almost five hundred and fifty days of us being husband and wife, the romance, the steam, and spark were high. Viviana was always ready for it.Such a naughty wife she is! I chuckled at the thought. Yesterday, Viviana spilled a full bowl of ice cream over me when I just stepped out of the shower. She giggled and
VIVIANA“Stay there, wolf. Don’t step ahead with those judging eyeballs. This wouldn’t have happened if you listened to me. I told you to let her be. But you…” Selena scoffed. I looked at her dark eyes. It was coming. The truth. Alaric didn’t have to hear it like this. I didn’t want it. But guess I was already out of options.“What do you mean? You kidnapped Gianna, you hurt her, and you say you want the good for me? Aren’t you being diplomatic here?” Alaric asked. He wasn’t calm. Not yet. His popping veins confirmed it. But Selena was correct. He wasn’t a fault.This was all predestined. The catch was, that we had our choices to change the course of destiny.It was horrible.“What do you think? Oh! You naïve Alpha! Do you think all this… is about you?” Selena paused and laughed. Her laughter echoed. Baspo and Noah had left with Gianna already. Selena d
VIVIANA“Viviana, what’s this place? I… how you do know about it? I have never been here before! What’s all this?” I heard Alaric behind me. I calmed. Lady Ravoise vanished. Baspo stayed at the abode. The reverse waterfall returned to its original state. Everything went back to how it was earlier.“It’s The Óre,” I said to a baffled Alaric and Noah. They were covered in the same robes that Baspo had. I was laced with the flames.“I sensed Gianna here. She is nearby. I suggest that we should split and search for her.” I said. Time was running. We had to find Gianna before midnight. Once the moon was at its peak, Selena would be able to get away, even though I succeed in defeating her. I didn’t wish that.I wanted her end. Today. Here. Right in this place.Alaric scanned my eyes.“I want the same.” He whispered in my ears. I ordered Baspo and Noah to search t
VIVIANA“Baspo, we need to hurry. We are running out of time.” I urged Baspo who kept guiding me the way. We were away from Alaric and Noah. They couldn’t enter without being allowed. But Gianna did. That was another question. I couldn’t get to rephrase it. I heard a howl. A loud one. It collided with the sky and reverberated back. Straight into my ears. To be precise, Miracle’s ears.Miracle paused. Baspo didn’t. He kept moving. His pace was fast. Faster than I anticipated. He understood the situation. But how would he react after getting to know about his late mother? Another upsetting question.“Luna, what happened? Why did you stop?” Baspo made it to my mind. He linked with me. Strange! How was that …?“The Goddess…” I heard Miracle say. Okay, so the legendary Moon Goddess, Selene, blessed me with the power of mind-link without marking my mate! Impressive.“That how
ALARIC I couldn’t believe my ears. Did I hear it correctly? Did Viviana say all that? Was I hallucinating? Well, it wasn’t me to be precise. It was Moon and Miracle now. We shifted as per Viviana’s say. She mentioned that she know where Gianna was.It was good. I felt relaxed, although just 0.1 percent. But at least, something was better than nothing. She mentioned some place called The Óre. I never heard of it before. Not in my whole life. And Viviana insisted that the place had been in Samara since the beginning.How weird! I wondered if my family was cognizant of that Óre.We geared up and Viviana chose to fill me through what happened to her on the way. She said we were an hour away from that place. I wanted that. I wanted answers. That would calm my racing mind and heart. And the moment she started talking, I was horrified.Selena Dark, Selene- the Holy Moon Goddess, The Óre, Gi
ALARICMoon let go of me the moment Miracle shifted. It was all weird. So strange. So different. So impossible. I was short of words. What the hell just happened?I witnessed it. Miracle was all wrapped up in the fire, raised from the ground, howling at the Moon. The next moment, she was eating it. She just ate that shit or whatsoever it was, to begin with.The most insane thing about all this mess was that she was fine. Not even a single burn. Not a single scratch. She looked like a newly polished mirror. Was I even saying it right? My words and sentences appeared jumbled. Well, not my fault. It was the situation.It was a situation.And now, Viviana was here. She lay unconscious in my arms, and naked too. I felt like transported back in time. It happened before. That Forest of the city. She was like this that day too. I saw her mark for the first time.My eyes followed her curves and landed on her mark. It was glowing. Same as the other da
VIVIANA I kept staring. My eyes wanted the goddess to answer. Why wasn’t she saying anything? I was restless. Gianna was out there, captive. I had to save her. We need to go. And here, she wasn’t ready to talk.“You want to know?” Selene asked. Her angelic aura was so pure. She was heavenly. She was the mother. Whenever she said anything, I felt calm. My anger subsided. I was melting. I nodded.“Selena is born out of hatred, jealousy, anger, and broken heart, as I mentioned. And you, Viviana, weren’t supposed to be a pure-blooded Sun-wolf. But your mother was anxious. She was afraid. She was scared for your future. So, she promised Zelda.”“At that time, Zelda didn’t know the truth about Selena. She borrowed the power of anger, and fury and cast it into your mother’s womb. That power; was nothing but Selena’s part.” Selene mentioned. I gasped. What the hell
VIVIANAThe woman smiled. I was disgusted. How dare she? She even infiltrated my mind! I won’t let her be. I was furious. I wanted out. I wanted Miracle to stay aside. But Miracle wasn’t in her senses. She was eating fire like pancakes.The sun was nowhere. The full moon decorated the sky and the fog cleared off my mind. Gianna. I remembered her. She needed me. Now, more than ever. And I was here. My wolf was busy eating the fire, and I was fucking trapped in her mind with this woman.“How dare you? Where is my sister? Where did you keep her?” I shouted at top of my lungs. We searched the whole Samara, but Gianna was nowhere. Noah kept hearing her loud cries in his mind. While I and Alaric couldn’t do anything.I have never been this useless in my life. I felt pathetic. But the woman smiled. She kept smiling.“Stop smiling, Selena. Answer me, where is my sister?” I kept asking. The woman started approaching
VIVIANA Alaric b haves strange and so did Noah. They were covering their ears as if something bothered their nerves. I sat silently. But my mind was a cyclone. Every passing second gave me anxiety. I was scared for Gianna. Where could she be? How was she? I didn’t know it. I didn’t know any of it.Alaric huffed. His condition wasn’t good. Noah’s eyes were red. He was in pain too. What the hell was happening exactly?“Miracle, what is happening?” I asked my wolf. Maybe she sensed something that I couldn’t. Miracle growled, grumbled, winced, and then whimpered. She was in pain.“Mate is suffering,” Miracle replied with a whimper. Moon wasn’t in a good state of predicament. Time wa running. I touched Alaric’s shoulder. He eased a bit. Another moment leaped, and Alaric appeared good.“What was that? Miracle said Moon is in pain. What hap
