“I, Angelina Rossetti, reject you, Alpha Luca as my mate. You can go ahead to enjoy your new fangled home.” Lucas stepped closer to me, his eyes furious and dangerous.

For a normal person, today was an exciting day. But I was far from being normal. Within me, anxiety and fear exploded—making a disastrous mix. Rather than bask in euphoria as someone celebrating her three year wedding anniversary, I was filled with dread. So much that I almost buckled to the floor while getting out of my car. Exhaling deeply, my breath misted in the chilly air. I grabbed the two bags of goodies I'd gotten earlier this morning and started towards the massive building of Schnitzel Corporations. Walking through the glass doors, all eyes swung to me. All movements halted and then came the chorus: “Good afternoon, Luna.” Despite my anxiety, my cheeks heated up. I held my composure together and replied in a calm voice. Briefly exchanging pleasantries with the receptionist, I asked, “Is the alpha by Amy chance free?” Smiling knowingly, she replied, “Yes, Luna. He is.” “Thank you.” I returned her smile and went straight for the elevator that would lead me to his office at the top floor. Another giant exhale left me as soon as the doors shut. Truth be told, three years into a royal marriage hadn't magically turned me into a Luna true and true. I still flopped at social interactions and found it challenging to lead people. It wasn't much of a surprise since I came from a relatively humble background— a daughter of a mere omega. Again, here lies my worry: the possibility that I wouldn't live up to expectations and be a great Luna. As the elevator doors slid open, I stepped into the plush corridor which led to my husband's office. Just then a corporately dressed lady stepped out from the inner office. She smiled warmly and the first thing that came to my mind was beautiful. “Luna,” she bowed. I rolled my eyes. “Glenda.” She grinned as though I hadn't told her several times to stop with the title. “How many times do I have to tell you not to act like I'm some emperor?” “But you're Luna,” she retorted. I sighed in defeat. Glenda was a.secretary in the company. Sweet and thoughtful. I felt comfortable to share bits about my struggles with her, given that she came from a humble background too. Yet,no matter hard I tried to establish that familiarity with her, she always drummed it to my ears I would never be that commoner I wanted her to see me as. “I'm me,” I corrected. Still grinning, she replied. “True.” I eyed her, and we both bursted into laughter. Wen the humour died down, I glanced at the inner office—its door shut. “Is he busy?” I asked. “Definitely not.” She touched my shoulder, drawing my attention to her eyes filled with concern. “I bet he'll like the present.” I looked down the bags I carried. She'd helped me with brilliant ideas on what to get him. What could I have done without her? “You think so?” I asked, anxious. “Of course. I give the best ideas.” She held my hands. “Everything will be fine. The presents are amazing. He'll like them.” I smiled an d nodded. I've got this. “Thank you very much, Glenda.” “Anytime. Now, you go get your man.” She smirked. Grasping the bags tightly, I threaded carefully towards the inner office. Knocking once, I pulled the door open and stepped in. “What's the latest, Gle—” He stopped as soon as he saw me. His surprised expression quickly turned to nonchalance and he returned to using his computer. I waited. A minute, two minutes and he continued to ignore me. My heart churned from the sheer neglect. Unshed tears tightened my throat. I resolved not to cry because today was supposed to be joyful. True, our marriage strayed far from ideal. However, I was determined to make it work. “Happy anniversary, honey.” I managed a smile. He still refused to speak or look at me. “Luca?” I called. Silence greeted me. Inching closer to his desk, I laid the bags out just to catch his attention. Still, nothing came from him. “Luca.” “Oh, goddamit. What's it with you? Must you pester me all the time?!” Instantly, tears sprang in my eyes. “You weren't talking to me. For goodness sake, today's our anniversary. Did you even remember?” He glared at me. Intense anger burned in his eyes; a streak of vein in his temple bobbed. “This is our third year in marriage and—” “I can see you have nothing meaningful tost. Get out.” I gasped, shocked at the rudeness. “What?” “Don't fucking start with me, Angelina,” he growled. I stood my ground, my chin held high. “What have I ever done to you? Answer me! You've been nothing but cruel, hostile when all I've done is to please you.” He got up from his swivel chair and strode to his minibar. Grabbing a bottle of scotch, he poured himself a drink. My tears fell freely and I hastily cleared them off. There was no point acting so broken before him. “Not many get to have an anniversary, Luca. We're going to celebrate ours.” “Luca,” he said in a dry tone, returning to his desk. “It's amazing how you get to call that name freely when you're nothing but an omega.” My throat tightened. “But what can I say? I blame the moon goddess for matching me with someone so worthless.” “I'm not worthless,” I said with a broken voice. “Really,” he scoffed. “And yet, you can't deliver a speech to save your pathetic life. Social etiquette is a total zero. You never cease to embarrass me before everyone. You can't even give me an heir!” I staggered backwards, hit by his hateful words. It was one thing for him to call him out on my shortcomings. But blaming me for our childlessness was totally out of it. That was the insecurity I struggled the most with. To have my husband shove that to my face was brutal. And it was true I was nothing but an omega, a wolf with weak abilities, who didn't even know who her parents were. But the moon goddess had decided who should be mates. Luca didn't want to hear any of it. His father had been welcoming and kind, but unfortunately, he had passed away just a year after our marriage. I could swear Luca blamed me for that too. “How…how can you say that to me? You know this isn't my fault.” “And it's mine?” He looked at me from head to toe in absolute disgust. “Do you want me to prove you wrong? To set the record straight.” I frowned. “What…what do you mean by that?” “Useless wretch,” he muttered under his breath. I couldn't take his insult anymore. Weighed down by the enormosity of his words, I stormed out of his office. The bags remained in my clasp. “Luna!” Glenda called after me, but I didn't stop. I ran as fast as my legs could go. I ran even when they began to hurt. As I did, tears streamed down my face. I didn't stop until I got to the woods. Finally, I fell to the ground, and wailed at the top of my lungs.The wind howled through the ruined temple as we stood at the precipice of the final battle. The sky churned with dark clouds, unnatural in their movements, as if the world itself knew what was coming. A storm was brewing—not just in the heavens, but in our souls.I could feel it. The darkness. The raw, unrestrained energy that had been sealed away for centuries, now clawing its way back into existence.And at the heart of it all, him.The one who had orchestrated it from the shadows.The one who had betrayed Lunara all those years ago.And the one who now stood before me, watching with eyes that glowed like molten fire.Malakai.I took a slow step forward, my pulse steady even as my body braced for what was to come. Luca and Damien flanked me, their presence grounding me, but I knew—this was my fight.Malakai smiled, his voice like silk laced with poison. “So, you finally remember.”I clenched my fists, power humming beneath my skin. “I do.”His smile widened. “Then you know why this
The weight of the revelation pressed down on me like a crushing tide. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I stared at the altar, the symbols etched into its stone glowing with an eerie light.The last of my kind. A forgotten bloodline. A ritual that would unlock the truth.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to stop—to turn away before I unleashed something I couldn’t control.But I had come too far to stop now.I forced myself to stand, my legs trembling beneath me. Luca’s hand shot out to steady me, his touch firm yet careful.“Angelina,” he said, his voice low, controlled. “Are you sure about this?”I looked up at him, into those dark eyes that had seen too much, endured too much because of me. I could see the war raging inside him—his need to protect me battling against the understanding that I needed to do this.I nodded. “I have to be.”Damien exhaled sharply behind me. “Well, this is either going to be a breakthrough or an absolute disaster.”I ignored him and stepped t
The figure’s silver eyes burned into mine, their glow the only source of illumination in the endless void around us. My breath hitched, my heart hammering as I struggled to process their words.“Who are you?”It was such a simple question, yet it sent a shiver down my spine.Because I didn’t know the answer.I had been an omega—weak, unwanted, discarded. Then, I had been a wife—betrayed, used, thrown away. Now, I was something else entirely.Something more.The figure took a step forward, their form shifting as if they weren’t entirely bound to this plane. I instinctively tensed, ready to run if I had to, but something about them held me in place.“You don’t know yet, do you?” the voice mused, a strange mixture of amusement and something… deeper. Something ancient.My hands curled into fists at my sides. “I don’t know what you mean.”They tilted their head, as if observing me more closely. “You stand at the edge of two worlds, yet you belong to neither. The blood in your veins remembe
The clearing was silent, the air thick with tension. My pulse pounded in my ears as I tried to steady my breath, my body still tingling from the power that had surged through me. The creatures lay scattered, their twisted forms crumpled against the trees. But the silence wasn’t reassuring. It felt like the calm before a storm.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but not painful, grounding me as I wobbled slightly on my feet. His eyes bore into mine, dark and unreadable. “Angelina,” he said, his voice low but urgent, “what did you feel?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry.How could I explain something I didn’t even understand?“It was like…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “For a moment, when my power touched them, I could hear something. Not words, exactly, but—” I stopped, frustrated.“A connection?” Damien guessed, his gaze sharp.I nodded slowly. “Yes. It felt… ancient. And familiar, somehow. Like a whisper in the back of my mind.”Luca exchanged a glance with Damien, somethin
The forest remained eerily quiet as we moved forward, the only sound coming from the rustling leaves beneath our feet. The adrenaline was still coursing through my veins, making my fingers tremble slightly, but I forced myself to stay focused. Whatever had just happened—whatever power I had used—I needed to understand it. Control it. Because if I didn’t, it could consume me.Luca’s gaze flickered to me every few seconds, as if he was assessing me, trying to make sense of what I had done. He wasn’t the only one. Damien, who had been tense and sharp through every battle, was unusually quiet. He kept his distance, but I could feel his eyes on me too, wary and calculating.I didn’t blame them.Even I wasn’t sure what I had become.I clenched my fists at my sides and focused on the path ahead. The trees had started to thin, the density of the forest giving way to a faint, silvery mist. It curled around our legs, making it feel like the ground itself was shifting beneath us.“We’re close,”
The darkness of the forest pressed in on all sides, the shadows seeming to stretch further with each passing minute. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth, and the distant rustle of leaves only heightened the sensation of being followed. Every step felt heavier, as though the forest itself was conspiring against us, drawing us deeper into its labyrinth of twisted trees and tangled underbrush. The weight of the unknown pressed down on my chest, suffocating me.I had always known that power came at a cost, but I had never fully understood it until now. The force that surged within me—this strange, dangerous energy—was both a gift and a curse. Each time I used it, I felt like I was losing a part of myself. I wasn’t just tapping into some external source of power; I was becoming something else. Something more dangerous.And the worst part? I didn’t know if I could control it.Luca’s presence beside me was a steadying force, though. His calm, unshakable demeanor seemed to balance o
The forest was suffocating. Even though the cool night air should have offered some relief, it felt oppressive, heavy with the weight of danger that lurked just beyond the shadows. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we weren’t alone, that the darkness was closing in around us. Every crack of a branch, every rustle of leaves sent my pulse racing.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but gentle, as if sensing my anxiety. He didn’t speak, but I could feel the quiet strength radiating off him, steady and unwavering. Despite everything that had happened, I found comfort in his presence. There was a calm in him that I didn’t have, a peace that somehow anchored me in the chaos.We moved quickly, following Damien as he led us through the dense trees. His eyes darted from side to side, scanning for any movement, any sign of a threat. I could see the exhaustion on his face, the way his breath came in shallow gasps. We had all been through so much already, and it felt like there was no end in sight.“A
The air was thick with tension, the stench of earth and decay mixing with the sharp scent of danger that was creeping in on all sides. My heart raced, and my chest tightened as the power within me surged once more, a raw, untamed force that I struggled to keep at bay. I could feel it, like an electric pulse beneath my skin, urging me to unleash it, to let it consume everything around me. But I fought it. I had to. I couldn’t let it take control. Not again.The creatures—there were more of them now—surrounded us, their glowing eyes flickering like embers in the darkness. Each one was larger than the last, their bodies sleek and muscled, their claws scraping the ground with a sound that sent shivers down my spine. They were closing in, their low growls vibrating through the ground beneath my feet. It was only a matter of time before they attacked.Luca stood beside me, his presence a calming force amidst the chaos. His hand was on my arm, grounding me, but even he couldn’t hide the tens
The forest stretched endlessly before me, its towering trees standing like silent sentinels, casting long shadows across the ground. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, the stillness of the morning broken only by the rustling of leaves beneath our feet. My heart beat steadily in my chest, though every step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the unease gnawing at me.Luca walked beside me, his presence like a steady anchor, grounding me in a world that seemed to be spinning out of control. His gaze was fixed ahead, but every so often, his dark eyes would flicker to me, searching for something. I didn’t know what he was looking for—maybe reassurance, maybe fear—but I didn’t have the answers he wanted. Not yet.We had made it through the night, but the danger was far from over. The creatures that had attacked us in the forest, the ones that had been stalking us from the shadows, were still out there. And whatever power was stirring inside me, whatever it was that
