Chapter 24 – Life Goes On I groan as my alarm rings, hearing Dominic chuckle beside me as he grabs the contraption that takes fifty million tries to turn off. Yes, the same one Blue gave me to be on time for school. The room goes silent, and I curse Dominic in my mind with how easily he can turn the device off. Stupid morning person."How long do you think we have until the twins wake u-""Mommy, Daddy, wake up." Dominic's question is cut off by two loud children’s voices and feet thundering against the floor in the hallway. The door to our room bursts open, and in comes the twins, our daughters, flinging themselves onto the bed with giggles."Good morning, Saphy and Essy." I say, pulling the girls into my arms for a big hug. Dominic smiles, pulling out his phone. I hear the distinct sound of the camera going off. He has a habit of taking pictures when he can, especially since I’m normally the one taking them of the twins and him."Guess what?" Sapphira asks, and I smile a
Chapter 25 – The End is just The Beginning "So, this is my story about how I went from a beloved daughter to the lowest of the low, then a beloved mother, mate, wife, and Alpha. I know there are a lot more like me out there, wolves who have been rejected for no other reason than being the pack’s punching bag, a weakling, or just because their so-called mate felt that they were unworthy. But just know that out there, a wolf is waiting to give you the world. Don't let rejection bring you down. Instead, use it as an opportunity to leave, learn about yourself, and become the biggest badass you can be. Take fate into your own hands and make your own dreams come true."I smile as I finish my blog post on the werewolf network, watching the read count instantly climb. Dominic had convinced me a couple of months ago to share my story as an opportunity to help others and give other rejected wolves hope. I've been trying to get him to share his story, but he keeps avoidin

But when her fated soul mate ends up being her ex-best friend and the son to the late Alpha and Luna rejects her, Geminie's life changes drastically.Learning that she is not Geminie Blake - daughter to the Beta couple - but Geminie Starlite - daughter to the Moon Goddess and Future Moon Goddess herself - Geminie quickly faces the new ch
Chapter 1 - Once Upon A Time...Yeah Right! Do you know the stories of Werewolves? Legends and stories of beings that are forced to shift from human to wolf only once on the night of a Full Lunar Cycle – the night of a Full Moon? Those that have no control of their instincts or nature when in full wolf form and can attack anyone both friend and foe? Who's Mates are destined to them and them alone by the Almighty Moon Goddess that created them? If you said yes to any of these, would you believe me if I said these are true. Well, all but the forced shift on the full moon. Us wolves can shift whenever we want and stay in control. I am Geminie Starlight. I thought I was Geminie Blake of the Hidden Claws Pack and future Theta – also known as third in command – to my pack. It was supposed to be my birth right since the Beta would be my brother Alex. But things changed when I was a child and I soon lear
Chapter 2 - The Thief of The NightEighteen years ago.... The harvest moon’s orange glow shines down on the land, giving the forest and meadow surrounding it an ethereal glow. The soft breeze carries the scent of fall on the wind towards where two wolves sit in waiting hidden amongst the tall grass and wild flowers that cling to life before the winter frost can hit. As the harvest moon slowly climbs to its apex, a mirage slowly appears on a crystal clear lake in the shape of a crescent moon. This mirage will soon be a lush green forest only visible during two events. The first being the ascension of the new Moon Goddess who will take the place of the Current one once she is grown. The second is the birth of the Moon Goddess’ pup. The latter is only if the Moon Goddess has met her mate after becoming the next Goddess and is a rare occurrence once in a blue moon. Today is the latter. The current Moon Goddess is due to give birth to her baby after many yea
Chapter 3 - FamilySeven years later I giggle happily, watching my brother Alex as I stumble around the yard, chasing his brown wolf and reaching for the fluffy tail he sways before me. Alex stays just out of my reach, as always, his tongue lolling from the right side of his muzzle as he gives me a wolfish grin, a twinkle of mischievousness in his eyes. “Geminie, leave your brother alone.” My father, Bastian Blake, Beta of Hidden Claws, orders, his stern angry eyes bearing down on me. I stop in my track, a small spark of fear budding inside me as I stand before this man. Alex nudges my hand gently, whining lowly as he wraps his furry form around me. “Alex and I are playing father.” I answer quietly, leaning into Alex for comfort while trying to avoid the glare my father sends me. At seven years old I have never been able to understand why my parents are so stern towards me. With Alex being only eight years older than me at fifteen I alwa
Chapter 4 – Bloody Picnic "Now you know the rules Geminie. Be polite and don't eat too much. You're a lady not a Rogue." My father warns and I nod, my curly white hair bouncing with the movement. Mother and father set high expectations for me the moment I was old enough to hold a fork. Sit with your back straight and hands folded in your lap. Never rush to eat your food and only eat what is on your plate – never ask for more. Never speak unless spoken to and if I do not follow this rule when out in public around other pack members or dignified visitors, then father will punish me. I learned quickly what a leather belt felt like against my skin the first time I asked for more food when I was hungry. After that, I obeyed each rule without a fuss even if my back hurt from sitting straight for so long or if my stomach protested in the middle of the night for food. “I understand father and I will behave properly.” I answer quietly, catching Alex clench his f
Chapter 5 – No Longer a Beta "Do you remember much of what happened?" My father asks, the tension in the air so thick making me feel as if the walls are closing in on me. Mika and Lace sit to the side on the small couch with tear stained face while my parents force me to stand. Today we buried Alpha Sorus and Luna Reena and the idea of dealing with my parents after everything that’s happened in the last three days is not something I want to do after their neglect the night they found us pups huddled together in fear. Instead, I keep my gaze towards the window watching the rain drops pitter patter on the glass. “I don’t remember much. We fell asleep watching the unicorns play. Geminie woke me up because she heard something then woke Lace up.” Mika answers, his voice wavering. I turn to look at the older boy to see my mother comforting him and sending her seething glare my way. “Geminie, if you woke them up then why didn’t you come get hel
Hello every one who has made it to the end. First off, I want to thank you all for reading my novels and joining me on a journy of rejection and finding one's true strength. I started this series as a way to cope with growing in a bad household and feeling like I was never good enough because of how a parent treat me while also dealing with the treatment of being rejected and cheated on.Writing about Amberle, Geminie and Crystalline gave me the strength to become a better, stronger version of myself and tought me about self love and finding those who I can call my family. In the end, I wanted to share this with the world.As you noticed, I call this a series because the truth is this one lone novel is actually 3 books in one. 3 books that I have taken the time to edit and rewrite to publish on reading apps like Goodnovel as well as publish them on amazon. It is thanks to amazing readers like you that I am now able to turn a hobby into a career as an author and publish my books to m
Chapter 38 – A New Destiny set in Motion "Mama who will be Queen?" Turning away from the window as I wait for Albot’s return, I look to find my daughters playing with their dolls by the thrones, their white hair resembling mine while each sport one brown eye like their father and one prism eye like me. Walking towards the twins, I crouch down to look at Arora who asked the question, slowly playing with her hair. Depends on who is fit for it.” I answer, standing up straight and picking Arora up in my arms. “Being a ruler isn't just about pretty dresses and golden tiaras. In our case, silver tiaras. We have to be fair and just rulers to the many packs. We have to solve problems and disputes before a war can start." I answer, gently tickling her sides as she lets out a giggle. I smile at my four year old pup, placing a kiss on her forehead as she giggles some more. "I hear giggling." Albot's voice calls out, a squeal of sur
Chapter 37 – Soul Returns Homes A soft steady beeping mixed the soft steady hum of another machinery floats into my ears, waking me from the deep sleep I had been put under after my visit with Morai. I groan, not wanting to be disturbed and feeling sore all over my body. Opening my eyes to see where the noise is coming from, I wince and quickly close them due to the bright light overhead. "Crystalline you're awake!" Albot's voice, although rough and hoars, fills my ears and a small smile plays at my lips. My mate is here, but he sounds tired. I feel his hand clasps mine and a kiss on my forehead leaving tingles where we touch. Definitely still my Mate. I try to say something, my mouth opening and closing but no sound comes out. My throat is sore and dry, as if I haven’t had a single drop of water in a long time. [Lights are too bright and I need a drink please.] I send to Albot through our link, squeezing his hand gently. There is so muc
Chapter 36 - A Date with Destiny I open my eyes to find myself in a room filled with books. Light filters in from above and I look to see an endless sky. Looking around confused, I wonder if my father sent my soul in the wrong place. "Sorry little wolf but I intervened for a moment." A childish voice has me turning to face a girl about fourteen years old as she carefully writes in an old leather bound book. Her hand flies over the pages, her face filled with focus on her task and I wait silently for her to be finished. With the slam of her book closing, I take a few steps forward. "Who are you?" I ask, watching the girl tentatively. Her violet eyes are soft and all knowing, as if this girl is someone who has lived many adventures. She stares at me with a serene smile, her little body slowly walking towards me until we are standing just a foot apart and she takes in my appearance from head to toe. "I'm gla
Chapter 35 – The Royal Family Bright light forces the darkness to fade and I find myself standing in the field of moon flowers I had just fought in. There is no signs of war before me and I wonder if what happened was a dream. “I see you are awake.” A voice I have longed to hear once more calls out. Turning around, I find my father leaning against a tree, his eyes filled with warmth. I rush to his side, my father pushing off from the tree to catch me in his arms as he hugs me tightly to him. The scent of the moon is on him and I smile, feeling the comforting embrace of a parent calm me. “You did good my pup. I am proud of you.” He whispers, stroking my hair. All I can do is nod, my voice constricted as I allow the tears to flow down my face. “Am I dead?” I finally am able to ask after some time has passed. “No. You are just in the in-between right now as your body heals. Now you have some people that want
Chapter 34 – Coro’s End The Trackers quickly descend from the trees surrounding the meadow, their agile bodies making quick work in slicing open their unsuspecting targes throat before they move on to the next. The hunters have paired up with a Royal Soldier, taking turns in attacking and defending the other as piles of dead Rogues fall to the ground. All around me are furs of various colours. At one point I caught sight of Amberle's fire coloured wolf and Dominic's ice coloured wolve rip apart a black Soulless before they disappear once again. I know my white fur is an easier target as I dodge and fight off multiple Soulless at a time. I find myself in an endless cycle of dodge, claw, bite, kill and retreat while leaving a trail of dead Soulless in my wake. My muzzle is now stained black by the foul blood of the decaying wolves but sadly I have grown used to the stench after an hour had passed in the battle. Witches began popping in and
Chapter 33 – The Final Battle The sounds of muffled footsteps behind me both in wolf and fur form reminds me that the final battle is only moments away. The sky is fading from the indigo of night to a darker blue with hues of red, purple and pinks on the horizon. [Remember to keep the link open to receive orders.] I hear Albot state through the open link, a resounding “Yes sir” from the hundreds of wolves joining us in this battle replying back. I smile, already seeing how great a King Albot makes. Once this war is over, I can plan his coronation and then together we can plan a wedding. It isn’t long until we make it to the meadow, the flower buds still closed waiting for the right time to bloom. I think back to the first time I met my father, watching the scene of my adoptive mother finding me in this verry field as well as the memories I have of the two of us running around and picking these flowers to decorate the palace halls. Now on the edge of the meadow, I can see Coro on
Chapter 32 – The Dawn of War Standing in the thrown room, a white suit with a white cape draped over my shoulders, I look outside the window as worry settles in. The stars are still out but as soon as the sun rises, all the moon flowers will bloom and the final battle in this war will begin. “You okay Darling?” Albot asks, walking forward with a mug of what smells like to be peppermint tea in his hand. I take it from him, thanking my mate before taking a sip of the much needed drink. “I’m nervous.” I sigh out, leaning into his touch as he wraps his arms around me. “I know. But we have been preparing for this moment Crystalline. We will win this.” Albot reassure me. Taking in his scent, I continue drinking the tea as we enjoy this final moment of calmness. Our scouts have already linked us that Coro is on the move, an army of Rogues and Soulless following behind him. It is only a matter of time before we have to leave and
Chapter 31 - A Sense of Normalcy Throwing Amberle over my shoulder, I smile triumphantly as the fiery haired she-wolf lets out a wince. For the past two days of training and meetings, she has teased me about Albot and our matting. How she expects to have her band of nieces and nephews grow soon after the war. This has just fueled me to want to kick her ass even more. “Geeze Crysta, go easy on me.” She groans out, pushing herself into a sitting position as she eyes me. “Are you going to stop teasing me?” I ask instead. “And ruin my fun, nope.” “Then I guess you are going to have to get used to finally having your ass on the ground all the time.” I shrug, getting a playful growl from the Alpha wolf in response. I roll my eyes, holding out my hand and helping Amberle to stand. Although I have been besting the she-wolf, I still sport a few scrapes and bruises myself from sparing with her. “So
