Alex’s pov.As Tatiana left my room, I kept on wondering what was wrong with her, because this wasn’t the Tatiana I knew.This behavior she had just exhibited was very strange and alarming, I had never seen this side of her ever before.Could it be that she had been lusting after me for a long time now and she hadn’t told me because of Exalia? And now that Exalia was not around, was she trying to use the opportunity to seduce me and lure me into making her my Luna?I kept on pondering and wondering, why on earth would Tatiana behave in the way and manner she just did?I sat on my bed and sighed, then I took a deep breathe and reached for a glass cup on the other side of the bed. I wanted to drink some water, as I took the jar and poured it into the glass cup, I felt a soft pain in my stomach.I ignored the pain and drank the water but the pain still continued drinking, but the pain lingered on.“What’s this now?” I murmured, taking off my shirt and holding my stomach tightly.I lay
Exalia's POV “Where am I?” I mumbled softly to myself, my eyes darting around, but it was white all around with no human activities detected. It was a strange environment, blank, bare and thoroughly white. My voice echoed after me, and I couldn't help but shrink to a corner, to make my existence less obvious. As usual. “Exalia.” A soft voice rang out, and I hurriedly turned around in surprise. “Who's…" The rest of my statement got stucked in my throat as my gaze fell on a figure, who blended perfectly with the white environment. Her silken robes seemed to glow with a moonlight hue, her figure both graceful and commanding. Her silver hair cascades down in waves, and her eyes gleamed like orbs. She seemed to be stepping on soft cotton, taking a step at a time with unrivalled elegance. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. “Who are you?” I questioned doubtfully, taking two steps at a time backward. From the lessons I learned in my seventeen years of existence, I kne
Exalia's POV “No, you don’t understand. Exalia is too young. I’ve seen her grow up and know her history of being weak; she hasn’t even shifted yet.” Jake’s words pierced my heart, each one a painful stab. “She cannot be my mate, and you know that too well; how could she be my Luna? She is so weak?” His words cut deeper than I had anticipated. Tears streamed down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably, my lip trembling and eyes brimming with tears. “But you know she’s always had feelings for you. Your rejection might break her!” My dad’s frustration was evident. “I’m going to reject her in front of the pack and choose a stronger female as my mate, for the good of the pack,” Jake declared. I buried my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking with sobs. The thought of being rejected twisted my stomach into tight knots. “Gather the pack members; I want this done,” Jake commanded. “Beta Zack, follow the order.” “Yes, Alpha, but you’ll regret this,” my dad said, his voice laced with
Exalia's POV There was a knock, followed by the door opening. Maria walked in with a smug expression. “How does it feel? Don’t worry, I’ll be a good Luna to your mate,” she taunted. She approached me with an exaggerated expression of concern. “What’s wrong, Exalia? Can’t handle being turned down by your mate?” She sneered. Before I could respond, Maria’s eyes flicked toward the door. I saw Alpha Jake approaching. Maria’s face twisted into a cruel grin. “Let’s see who’s more important,” she said with satisfaction. Suddenly, she slammed her head against the door frame, crying out, “Ouch! Ow!” The speed of her actions left me stunned, unable to react. “What happened, Maria?” Alpha Jake rushed to her, entirely ignoring me. “Exalia hit me because you didn’t choose her!” Maria’s voice was filled with false indignation. She pointed at me as she spoke to Jake. He turned to look at me, his brows furrowing in anger. “Jeez, I didn’t do it,” I said weakly. “Shut up, Exalia!” J
Exalia's POV Without a word, I did as she said I only wanted to save my father, my sobs could be heard. She looked at me, “Well, there's going to be an all-alpha meeting tomorrow, so I want to make sure to serve all of them. For now, I'd talk to the alpha, but everything depends on your performance,” “Yes, Maria,” I muttered. “Maria?” She asked. “I meant Luna,” she smiled and gestured for me to leave with her hand. “My father?” I sobbed. “He'd be looked after to do your work,” she said, and after looking at my unconscious father for a while, I left. ~~~~ Walking to my house I stopped by the forest trying to feel my wolf, she could help me right? I believed I had one, but it wasn't clear to me why she didn't show up yet. I closed my eyes, focusing on the forest sounds and the gentle breeze. A strange sensation stirred within me, like a voice whispering. “Try harder, Exalia,” the voice urged me on. I drew a deep breath and concentrated. Pain exploded through my bod
Exalia's POV “No, I didn't!” I screamed on top of my lungs, my eyes feeling achy as hot tears started rolling down. "You were forcing yourself on him, it was so clear,” the lady who I didn't know continued. “Impossible! I would never do such a thing; what would I gain? He tried… he tried…” I failed to explain as I burst into more tears. Immediately, the door slammed open, and five guards stormed into the kitchen. With two pulling my arms, I didn't know how to react; it was happening just too fast. “Exalia! What have you done?” one of them, the pack gamma, asked. “Nothing! I swear! He tried to force himself on me and… and I didn't do anything, just a push!” I cried out as more tears threatened to fall from my eyes. “Don't lie to us! We have the evidence, and there's a witness!” Mike the gamma exclaimed harshly, pointing at the alpha's body and the unknown lady. Hitting his hand on his forehead, which was something he'd always do when angry, he looked at me. “What? No! I
Axel’s POV.“Alpha, I think we should attack tomorrow when all their alpha's are together and finish them off,” my beta's voice sounded.“No, I feel uneasy. I'd go out on a walk and we'd check out how to get into the pack house,” my voice sounded as I stood up and walked out through the door, as my beta, jace followed behind me.The night was dark and quiet in the territory of the Moon launch Pack. As the fierce and dominant lycan alpha, I prowled through the dense forest, by my guards, and jace. "Alpha, everything seems calm tonight," one of the guards reported, breaking the silence of the night.I scanned the area with my black eyes and nodded in acknowledgment. "Stay vigilant. We have an attack to launch," I replied firmly. Deep down, I longed to rest, but I had to get rid of all the corrupt alpha's and I was going to do just that, I had to uphold my duties. I was known as the most feared alpha, although I didn't see anything scary about myself compared to Peter, my best friend,
Exalia's POV "Hurry, get to the gates!" "Secure the alpha!" The guards yelled, rushing towards different directions of the mansion. My heart raced as I tried to understand what was happening. "The rogues are attacking the clinic! Hurry!" The nurse yelled, running past the prison. Rogues? Attack?! Father! My heart sank as I followed the guards. Each moment was filled with terror, as I hoped it wasn't as bad as I thought. "Where's my father?" I asked a guard who walked past me. He scoffed indifferently, continuing on his way like I never existed. "Where's my family? Where's my father?" I asked another guard standing by the corner. He turned to me, his gaze fierce as he rolled his eyes. Why wasn't anyone listening to me? Why weren't they answering me? I'm not invisible, am I? Maybe it's not as bad as I think. My father is the beta after all. He was a skilled warrior. Nothing bad would happen to him. Right? Yes, he's safe. He's definitely safe. But what if he isn't? What if h

My private apartment was the only place on this earth where I could truly cut off from the world and dive deep into the inner depths of my own mind and thoughts.Life wasn’t easy as an Alpha, I had said this countless times. There was a lot of burdens and responsibilities to bear and anyone who was not was not strong would totally collapse.I loved meditating all the time, it was my own form of refuge, a way to connect with the wolf that was inside of me.A way for me to maintain the balance necessary to lead my people rightMy room was lit but only with soft glowing white candles.

Exalia’s povMorning came and its light was gentle. The morning lights filtered through the reeds of my chamber window and it cast beautiful and artistic patterns across the floor. I was awed by the beauty of nature as I looked at it.I was still tired and the memory of my dream was still in my head, so I just lay there for a moment and thoght about everything. As I thought about my dream, I prayed for it to come to pass, and it was not just for the sake of my own longing to go back home to meet my Alex, but also for the sake of peace between Lunari and my pack.The dream I had last night was not just a wish, the dream felt more like a vision as if it was a destiny that I could personally shape.I stood up from my bed and the urgency to share this dream was all that bothered me.I wanted to make it real and turn it into a reality,because it was the sole purpose of why I was even in the Lunari kingom.I rinsed my face with water, and I left my room to go look for Eldric,he needed to h
Exalia’s pov.“Good morning my lady,” an old man greeted me as I was returning from my morning routine, my early morning jogging. It was one of the gatekeepers, I liked to call him old man Haggard.Haggard was particularly fond of me and he was always so happy to see me.I had gone for my early morning jogging routine and I had just finished. I was so tired that I could barely raise my legs and walk properly because I had been jogging nonstop for about an hour and thirty minutes.“Hey good morning Haggard,” I replied, smiling back at him. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night, eyes red and almost swollen.“Happy to see you this morning boss, how was your morning excercise?” He asked me, smiling as he spoke every word.I told him I was fine and I was improving and doing perfectly okay, then he sat down on his char and brought out a cigarette from his back pocket.“Hey, you don’t sleep do you?” I asked, observing his features, from his eyes down to his walking style. “We have to
Alex’s pov.The questions continued and we took turns to interrogate them.As they answered the questions we asked, we noticed that each member of the group answered accurately and their stories aligned, they were indeed tourists from the human world.They had been drawn by tales, fables and myths of our unique and amazing culture and the mysterious nature of our secluded and segregated kingdom. My Beta, Lena, who’s always the skeptic and more detailed of us all, began to dig deeper and ask them more questions. She asked them about their route, the route they had taken to get here, she asked about their knowledge and everything they knew about our customs and traditions, Lena even asked about the plans they had after this particular visit.After what felt like a couple of hours, but it was actually just one hour, we were finally convinced of their innocence and truthfulness.After looking at their map, we found out that it was very much old and outdated. We noticed their eagerness
Alex’s pov .As the young lad departed, his figure disappearing into the forest, I went back to inspect the sanitation of the cities and districts.My heart was very heavy but I reminded myself to have hope always, because as far as there was life, there was hope.With each step I took, my steps became lighter and I could feel that a part of me was reaching out to her. I could feel that we would be united and together once more and never to separate again. Saturday went on and throughout the period, my thoughts were a hundred percent with Exalia.All I could think of was the sweet, loving and romantic memories we shared, times when she would kiss me and tell me that she would always be there for me.I could picture her reading my letter, surely she would feel the same mixture of joy and sorrow while she read it. I could feel the connection between us and it grew stronger and stronger, it was so strong that no force could break or come in between. The evening air was very cool and c
Alex’s pov.Alex’s letter.It was Saturday and it was a work and rest day.Also, it was the last Saturday of the month, and that meant that it was the monthly Environmental Sanitation Day.This was a ritual sanitation that was done throughout the whole pack every last Saturday of the month and today was one of such days.I was out early, to oversee the day’s activities and make sure that every region and corner of the pack was taken care of and cleaned, all the dirts and refuse were removed and discarded appropriately.But thinking about it deeply, one could observe and notice that there was something about this work.There was something grounding about watching all members of our pack come together and put in effort for us to achieve a common good goal.I was in the process of organizing a particular group of young lads and girls to clean a river bank that had been dirty for weeks when a sudden commotion from a distance caught my attention instantly.A young lad, apparently a dispatc
Alex’s pov"Hey Alex, the love my life. How are you doing? Well you know you’re fine but I want to let you know that I’ve missed you so much.” I paused and looked at the letter I was writing, I thought about what next to say, and then I took a deep breath and continued writing.“Staying here has not been easy, I have experienced a lot in the short span of a month but I just got to keep going. As I grow stronger here day by day, I simply realize how much I need your strength, love and support by my side, i must confess that it has not been easy without you. Nevertheless,I am learning so much and that’s on period, Alex, but learning without you by my side to tell me congratulations and cheer me up feels so incomplete. I love you so much Alex, I really do. And I count the moments until I can return home to your arms once more."I paused again and looked at the letter I had just written, then I took a deep breath and read it out again. I made so changes and corrections and edited the

I was taught a lot of things, like the ancient art and skill of harnessing lunar energy, I was taught the art of shifting into werewolf form with both grace and power. I was even taught the secretes of lineage and they flowed into me like a river. I was a fast learner and surely I was learning very fast, Eldric had told me that after my training and the rituals have been performed, I was free to go back to my pack provided i come and visit once
