The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 9: Past encounter with the moon goddess.
Axel's POVThe soft echoes of cicadas and the whoosh of leaves rang in my ears, giving me a momentary comfort. My eyes fluttered close as I savored the sweet scent of peace and comfort. But this peace was short-lived as reality sank in slowly. I clenched my fists slowly, feeling the tangled emotions in my heart.Exalia's pretty face emerged in my mind, and a complex feeling arose from the bottom of my heart, making me furrow my brows.Another feeling of dilemma took its place, and I felt as if a heavy stone had been placed on my chest, suffocating me.The bond I felt with Exalie was anything but ordinary. A mating bond is sacred and pure, a bond that cannot easily be broken.Yet, this bond weighs heavily on me like shackles.My past actions seemed to reappear in my eyes once again, a memory that would either break the bond between Exalia and me or strengthen it.A distant memory suddenly emerged from the back of my mind, and I stiffened.That particular day, I had been in a bad mood

Axel's POV“A council meeting?” I muttered to myself in puzzlement before shrugging.Pushing the distracting thoughts to the back of my mind, I made my way back towards my pack. After many trials and stress, I was finally able to merge my pack with the Moon Launch Pack, which was also Kiera's pack.Surprisingly, their Alpha had absconded with his mate even before the battle had started. I snorted when I remembered that memory.I couldn't figure out how that coward became their Alpha, such a wimp.Thankfully, Kiera still cares about this pack; if not, I wouldn't have bothered about the merging.Taking large strides, I finally arrived in the hall and strode in calmly. The noisy hall instantly quietened as I made my way in.Without glancing at any of them, I took my seat on the center chair at the far end of the hall before looking around the hall.The Elders from my pack and the Elders from the Moon launch pack sat on each side.“So, what's this meeting about?” I asked calmly, staring a

Axel's POV According to its name, a spiked whip has jagged metal spikes, intricately embedded along its coiled length, with each spike enough to tear through flesh with remarkable ease. No matter how powerful your healing abilities were, you would still feel the excruciating pain of having your flesh torn before it had the time to heal. And it was a process that would repeatedly occur. The handle was carved from sturdy oak, one that wouldn't break so easily and could withstand the tortures of time. One of the Elders instantly retreated, taking one step at a time backward with his gaze darting from my face to the warriors holding one whip in their hands. “W… What do you plan to do?” He stammered, and I smirked deviously. “What does it look like? Didn't you want an elevation in your status?” I asked, crossing my arms with a smile that didn't reach the depths of my eyes. The elder flinched, a
Last Updated : 2024-10-29The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 12: I want to leave
Axel's POV My brows shot up in surprise, but apprehension. I stared at the trembling Elders at the center of the hall and couldn't help but to pursue my lips in annoyance. What would Exalia think if she saw this scene? Looking at the old men groaning in pain, I suddenly felt irritated and angry. I should have eliminated all of them instead of bringing them here. Initially, I brought them here with the mindset that Exalia still feels a touch of belonging to the pack and the people. And I intended to use this to make her accept me, but now I couldn't help but to think that I've made a mistake. Moreover, it wasn't clear to me why Exalia, who had always shown her obvious detest towards me, would want to see me all of a sudden. Apart from the feeling of having my heart scratched by something, I felt a slight trepidation. Especially when I remembered all I have done to her family members. Could it be that
Last Updated : 2024-10-29The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 13: You are my mate.
Exalia's POV I glanced at the man with complex emotions, but the one that prevailed the most was hatred and a slight disgust. Back in the Pack, my life couldn't be considered to be smooth sailing, but I had my family with me. Yet now, I have no one, and he even imposes his will on me, forcing me to do things I never wanted to. He wouldn't allow me to live for myself, nor did he give me any leeway. If not for him, the only two family members I had would not be missing by now, and I wouldn't have to worry about them each and every day. Moreover, he claims that I am his mate; I'm very sure he's just trying to force me to be with him. Although I've been rejected, I still feel the broken bond with Jake. It's obvious he's merely lying to have me to himself. “I want to leave.” I repeated when I noticed how silent he had become. With his gaze fixated on me, I stared back, not cowering in the slightest.

Exalia's POV Axel's lips curled upwards in amusement, “I have what it takes to keep you here forever. If I don't want you to leave, then you won't be able to.” He asserted, staring down at me with that same sickening smile.I glared at me, my boiling anger simmering, and on the verge of erupting. But I held back, my gaze boring at his smug expression.“You can continue pushing your weight around, in due time, Alpha Jake will come back and take me from here. You wouldn't even be able to do anything because he's my true mate. For all your strength, you are just an empty, cold tyrant. Hiding behind your title won't change that!” I spat out maliciously. A flash of something ominous flickered in Axel's eyes instantly, his smile faltered, and the temperature in the room suddenly became lower.A bad foreboding emerged in my heart, but I would rather not show any signs of weakness. I didn't want him to see me as a delicate vase, meant to be kept and confined in a space.“What did you just

Exalia's POV“You…" Unable to utter any word, I could only glare at the culprit behind my frustration.Yet, his back remained upright, and his gaze was calm like an old, ageless well, having no ripples or fluctuation.“Your meals will be brought to you at the right time, and your training will continue when I feel it's right.” He added calmly, as if he had the right to make decisions for me.“I won't eat your food, I don't even want to train with you or be in your presence!” I yelled in indignation, the skin around my eyes turning sore.Staying in such an unfamiliar place, not only do I feel uncomfortable, but I felt like an outcast. Now, I didn't even have the right to walk around, who wouldn't get angry at that?“It's for your own good, believe it or not. Until you star

Exalia's POVThe stench clung to my pores, as the rotten eggs splattered against my skin, eliciting a tear on my flesh.Stones came afterward, strong and merciless, each hitting a different part of my body each time - my legs, my arms, my forehead, none was spared.I staggered backward, trying to use my arms to shield the rest of my body, but the attacks came relentlessly, bypassing my weak defense and landing on my already frail body.The copper scent of my blood wafted into my nose, and the pain that flared through my body made me wince repeatedly. “No, I really did not do anything.” I retorted weakly, my voice drawn by the cacophony of insults around me.“Murderer!” One yelled, followed by another one.“Slut! Temptress!” Each word is more hurtful than the last, and they hurt more than the stones and rotten eggs thrown at me.Initially, due to my father's position in the Pack, they would merely cast scornful and contemptuous gazes at me, but now that I had nobody to defend me, they

The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 50
Exalia; I stood there, unsure of what to say as the old man’s words echoed in the quiet room. “Well, it seems that there’s no cure after all,” he muttered, his tone heavy with defeat. I could feel the weight of his disappointment in the air, like a suffocating fog. Alex, standing beside me, let out a deep sigh, his gaze distant and unreadable. We had returned just a few days ago, but the sight before us was something I couldn’t have imagined in my worst nightmares. The village was a scene of utter devastation. The air was thick with grief. Mothers, young girls, and old men were crying, their voices breaking as they begged for help. The illness was sweeping through the village like wildfire, claiming anyone it touched, and the sight of it made my heart ache. Was this what the Moon Goddess meant by testing me? I closed my eyes briefly, trying to steady my thoughts, but they were scattered. There had to be something I could do
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 49: Time is passing.
Alex POV.A week has passed, and this strange illness that has befallen us hasn't stopped. We found a way to hold it back by keeping strict boundaries.The sick ones were taken to a refuge where they had to be kept isolated.However, Exalia and the old man left the pack in search of something that could hold the sickness off.I sat in my office, my face not a pleasing sight to behold.“Alpha,” my Beta said, and I sighed, turning my attention to him.“It’s been two days since Miss Exalia left, and there has been no communication—nothing! The infected numbers are increasing. Yesterday, 50 more kids got infected!” he reported, and I growled. Not from anger, but from a weakness I never knew I had.I slammed the pen down on my desk, frustration boiling in my chest. The reports weren’t adding up, and no matter how much I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to the chaos outside these walls. The pack was falling apart, and I had no answers.“Moon Goddess, I can’t take this anymore!” I
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 48: Nothing is working
Alex POV;“Oh, Moon Goddess!” The old man exclaimed, his trembling hands checking the pulse of one of the infected children. His face was pale with worry.Beside him, Exalia moved quickly, her steps deliberate but heavy with exhaustion. Even after giving her blood—the one thing that should have saved them—it hadn’t worked. The kids were getting worse, and so was she.“Kitten, it’s time for you to stop. You need to sleep,” I said firmly, my voice gentle but insistent. “Nothing is working, and you’re overdoing it.”She didn’t even glance at me. Her focus was entirely on the old man and the children, her hands trembling as she checked the kids’ temperature and pulse.“Exalia!” I barked, sharper this time, frustration spilling into my voice. She froze mid-step, her back straightening before she turned to face me.Her eyes were fierce, her exhaustion and desperation making her voice crack. “Are you heartless?” she snapped. “I know this disease is infectious, Alex, but that doesn’t mean I c
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 47: She's Strong
Axel’s POV.The Physician’s words kept ringing in my ears. The illness was infectious, and the only hope for a cure lay in Exalia's blood. My gut twisted at the thought of her giving so much of it—enough to heal, but at what cost? I couldn't bear to see her suffer any more than she already had.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth as I tried to gather my thoughts. The situation had escalated too quickly, and the weight of the pack’s suffering was pressing down on me. Each day, more were infected, and the healer’s methods had failed. Exalia was our last hope, but the cost of her help… it was too great.“Is it really the only way?” I asked, my voice low with frustration.The Physician nodded grimly. “Yes, Alpha. Her blood carries a unique vitality that could counter the illness, but it will take a significant amount. Enough to infuse the antidote with the strength it needs.”I clenched my fists, feeling a surge of helplessness. I hated this. I hated how powerless I felt,
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 46: Stay By her side
Axel's POV.The tension in the room was thick, almost stifling. I could feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on me, but I kept my gaze locked on the old Physician. His words still rang in my head, leaving me shaken. Exalia, the cure? How could that be possible? It didn’t make sense, yet something in his expression told me he believed every word.“Alpha Axel,” the Physician said again, softer this time. “Perhaps we should discuss this in private?”A murmur of disbelief swept through the crowd, and someone scoffed, “Private? What does he mean by that? We all deserve to know!”More voices chimed in, demanding answers. I didn’t blame them; this disease had devastated us all, and they were desperate for hope. But the old man simply shook his head, a steely resolve in his eyes.“This is a delicate matter,” he said firmly. “Not something to be discussed in public without careful consideration.”I could sense the growing frustration around us, but I also knew the old man wouldn’t bend. After a
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 45: The Cure Lies Within
Exalia’s POVI felt like the world had gone quiet, even as the cries and pleas of people filled the clinic around us. Old man Harrick’s words echoed in my mind, over and over. I might be the cure.A strange chill went down my spine as I tried to process it. “Wait... me?” I asked, pointing a shaky finger at my own chest. “Are you saying I could cure them?”Old man Harrick’s gaze was serious, with a hint of sadness. He nodded. “Yes, Exalia. I believe you hold the answer to this sickness.”Around us, whispers started immediately, sharp and cutting.“What’s this nonsense?” Lucia, one of the pack’s Lunas, scoffed from the back. “How could she, of all people, have the cure?”Others were frowning, shaking their heads in disbelief. I felt my heart sink as a few people murmured, “We’re just wasting time here.”“Have you all lost your minds?” Another voice chimed in. “People are dying, and you’re telling us she is the answer?”I felt doubt and embarrassment rising within me, hot and thick. I co
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 44: The cure.
Exalia's POV The weight of urgency seemed permeable around the clinic, as smells of herbs and blood filled the air.The clinic was bustling with life and death likewise, with clamors and cries of piercing through the air sharply.Women clutched their children tightly, with faces covered in blood, dust and tears, each of them having a look of desperation in their pale faces.Even men were no different, no one pretended to be strong, as they conveyed their fear, grief, and pleas in the most direct way.“Why aren't you attending to my husband? He's dying!” A woman wailed painfully as she clenched the arms of a young man, who was making his way over.“Madam, please wait, we will attend to each one of you.” The man tried to placate her gently, but his smile was forced.They don't even have the cure, so how could they attend to them? He's merely trying to console her. The woman endeavored to grab him again, but he quickly slipped away from her hold.The young man rushed out of the clinic,
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 43: Gathering all the Physicians.
Exalia's POV The scholarly Alpha suddenly exclaimed, and I nodded with complex emotions. It turned out that my dream was coming true. Definitely, that black figure should be the witch behind the occurrence in each pack. I added, “Witches are the only beings with the ability to make such a level of destruction take place, and our only witch rival is this witch from the North. Didn't you say that they've been quiet for days? This must be what they are preparing for. The unsure thing is if this disease has reached the other poles, or it's just in our land.” I explained, trying to keep my voice as neutral as possible. I would rather not tell them that thousands of people would still die during this period because I didn't know how I could stop it or even help in reducing the casualties. Yet, I could feel Axel's gaze on my body, and I hurriedly looked away. He's sensitive, so he must have noticed something wrong, but I don't even know how to explain to him.After a while, his gaze lef
The Rise Of The White Luna Chapter 42: The witch from the North.
Axel's pov I turned to Bernard as well, “After the meeting, make sure that our warriors are okay. If this illness spreads to our warriors, then it would be a disaster, the Border Exchange would even be pointless this time. Furthermore, assign some men to send those spies away from our doorstep. Having them know about all these things would ruin our chances in the exchange as well.”The series of instructions filled the room with an air of solemnity and tension, none of the Alphas spoke up as each of them had contemplative looks on their faces.“We need to find the cause and cure, before we can do anything. And, Old man Harrick is the only person that can help us, I'm not sure if we would be able to find someone else.” Ronan suddenly mentioned, but he was addressing the group of Alphas.I nodded in agreement, “Now, we can only rely on our physicians. Send the news to your people, we don't know how infectious this disease is, so anyone having rashes or boil should be sent to the clinic
