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
Axel's POV"Mate! Mate! Mate!"Calm down Wolfie, we'll see our mate soon. The battle between the rogues and other pack was intense. I barely scaled through, but the urge to see my mate gave me the strength.I miss her so much."Find me mate immediately," I ordered Mark, my beta impatiently.Pacing around the meeting room, I arranged my clothes hoping to leave a good impression in front of her. Though I reeked of blood and sweat. I just needed to ensure she was ok and not feeling bad I left her for so long."Alpha," Mark called disturbed.Turning, I arched a brow as I asked, "What?""It's about your mate, alpha," he said, his voice low as he avoided my gaze."What happened to her?! Tell me!""Alpha, she's been locked up.""Locked up? Release her and bring her to me at once!"Watching his departing figure, my blood instantly bubbled with rage. How dare they lock my woman without my consent! I'll kill whoever's responsible.In moments, I watched as my mate was dragged, thrown across the
Alex’s POV I stood in front of the White Tribe Elders, keeping my voice steady. “If Exalia is going to be your Lunari, you’ll have to accept my terms.” One of the Elders frowned. “And what are these terms, Alpha Alex?” I didn’t hesitate. “You’ll let her stay here for a week. During that time, she will become my legal wife and the Luna of this pack. After that, she can return to your White Tribe pack, but only if this condition is met.” The Elders looked at one another, their discontent clear. “Ridiculous,” one of them snapped. “The Lunari must mate with a White Tribe wolf if she is to return. This is the only acceptable path.” “Then no one is taking her from me,” I replied firmly. Another Elder shook his head. “This is absurd. Tradition dictates that she must choose one of us.” Exalia, standing beside me, spoke up. “I won’t reject Alex. You all know this. He’s my mate, and I won’t go against that bond.” I gripped her hand, feeling the strength in her words. “And I won’t reje
Exalia Pov That night, I spoke with Alex. “If I go with them, will you come with me?” I asked. He looked conflicted. “I can’t leave the pack,” he said. “But I won’t let them hurt you.” I realized I couldn’t ask Alex to choose between me and his responsibilities. The decision had to be mine alone. The next morning, I met with the pack council. “I’ll go with the Lunari,” I said, my voice steady. “But on one condition—they leave the pack alone.” Alex’s eyes burned with anger. “You’re not going anywhere without me,” he said. “You have to stay,” I replied. “The pack needs you.” “And I need you.” He said, holding out my hands. I shook out my head, moving backwards. “This isn't right. “ I muttered and held my cheeks, looking straight until my eyes. “I love you okay…and I'm doing everything in my power to keep our love bond.” “I understand you. But you can't stop me from being who I'm supposed to be. For the moon goddess sake. I'm supposed to be a Lunari. No one in the pack acknow
Exalia’s pov.Our elders murmured and spoke amongst themselves and I could sense that there was already division going on within. I could see that some of them seemed to agree with Eldric’s approach to the issue, meanwhile others seemed to look at me with an expression I could call skepticism.Alex took my hands in his hands and his grip upon me was very very firm and reassuring. “If Exalia is going then I’m going with her, I go too and that’s on period. It’s either we stand together, or we gladly stand against you.”Eldric’s gaze finally for the first time moved from me to Alex, and he seemed to be appraising him. “Very well, Alpha, no problem at all since that’s your decision. Then we shall see if unity can truly be forged from this division. But you people should be warned, because I must say that the path ahead will definitely come with trials. These trials will test the bonds of pack and lineage too, and I’m very serious about it.”Alpha Alex stared at Eldridge, but he didn’
Exalia’s pov The rest of the night, no one slept at all, we spent it in preparation and training and this training was not only physical, it was also mental training. I learned from Isolde about the lore of the white wolf, i learned about the legend and the power that dwelled within me that I had just started to understand.As the dawn drew nearer and nearer I stood by myself and I watched as the first ray of sunlight touched the land. There were a lot of emotions in my heart and it pounded and pounderd.Emotions like fear, determination, insecurity and curiosity. I was at the brink of stepping into the unknown and this wasn’t just about confrontation of a tribe but uncovering truths about myself , fate and Destiny.As the day broke, i spoke positive words to myself and told myself I was going to conquer.The kingdom soon became a fortess of tension and uncertainty as the sun rose high in the sky.Alpha Alex had called for an emergency meeting as the tribe’s elders were visiting our
Exalia’s povIn could feel the solidarity and the love and care in Alex’s words, I could feel the bond of a united pack, a united family and I smiled, holding back tears. “Yeah sure, we’ll face it all together,” I said with a strong voice and hugged Alex tightly. I loved him so much . Isolde came in and joined us, her face was stiff with strength and determination and she advised us. “See, we need to set up a plan at once, this was not an attack but it was a message. These people know exactly what they’re doing. They want to test how we can withstand what they just did and we need to now show them we are better and stronger and we can destroy them.” The next few days was spent in hard training and preparation. We didn't just train for combat, we also trained for diplomacy. Isolde started to teach me about the ancient rites of the forefathers, she taught me about the lore of our kind and this wasn’t just for me to fight, but for me to become a great leader in future. Now, me chal
Exalia’s pov. The weird old woman smiled, it was kind of like a knowing and sad smile, her face became sober as if she was losing all hope. “Exalia child, something is coming, and that something will require you to be fully prepared and be able to make use of your powers in ways that you yourself have not even thought about.” She looked at us before continuing, “all I offer is to teach you, I’m an old woman and I have no intention of watching a kingdom get destroyed because a little girl couldn’t use her powers.” Alpha Alex kept on being unsure and his skepticism was very very obvious. “Give us a reason why we believe you won’t betray us immediately you get what you want?” He asked, a sign of authority and responsibility in his thick voice. Isolde’s eyes became calm and softened up a bit, and I felt it was in acknowledgement of his duty as an Alpha. “Well, let me tell you that I have a lot more to lose if this child falls to the great evil that is coming. And I’m not lik
Exalia’s pov.The next morning came very fast, and life definitely went on as usual. I got up from my bed and started my normal early morning routine which included saying my prayers, after that I would proceed to brushing my teeth, and then taking my bath. There was always something about Fridays, maybe something special I wouldn't say for sure but I lived Fridays. I didn’t like Fridays because of anything in particular at all, It’s just that it was the closest day to the weekend and all work would close earlier on Fridays. The sun had not fully risen, but the skies were getting bright and it was almost dawn. I stepped out of my room into the crisp air of the morning. “Good morning My lady,” dear Mabel greeted me and bowed politely. Her voice was so sweet and beautiful, as If it carried the warmth of the approaching early morning sun. “Hey Mabel dear,” I’m so happy to see you this morning.” I said with a smile on my face and I gave her a friendly pat on her chest.“My la
Tension had started to rise in the pack as news had spread that there was an attack and Alpha Alex and some of his scouts had successfully eliminated a large number of the intruders.They even talked about the letter that the enemies had left, asking Alex to release the “white wolf” or the next attack was going to be bloody. All of these news started to fly around, even rumors were flying around, both true and untrue. That morning, I decided to take a stroll to the garden. My intention was to take some time to myself and meditate. I wanted to do yoga and connect spiritually. As I walked through the palace compound, I noticed the way a few people stared at me and murmured to themselves.It was obvious that they were not saying nice things at all. I heard one person tell the other that I was the weird lady that had bewitched the Alpha into loving me and I wanted to destroy the pack and the whole kingdom.The things they said were so painful that it could tear me apart but I was al
Exalia’s Pov.That evening, Alpha Alex came back tired and a little sober. His face was pale and he looked very stressed out. “Alex.” I called his name, moving forward to meet him, he looked at me and sighed.“Exalia my love.” He said, a weary but smiling face. I looked at him and examined his body.He had minor injuries but they were already healing. Nevertheless, his body was dirty and he needed a shower. “How did it go?” I asked with genuine concern and Alex looked at me and smiled.It was obvious that it went but I still wanted to ask and hear the good news from the horse’s mouth.“It went well, but it was not easy at all. We were able to eliminate most of the intruders but a couple of them escaped and I’m not really happy about that.” He murmured, and hissed.I stared at him with so much admiration as my brain prepared what to say in reply to his statement. Despite the fact that he was battered, bruised and looked very dirty. He was very cute and handsome and had the gaet and
