“She was ours for the taking,” Lex ranted further.

“Someone could have possibly been watching us from somewhere.” Lucian didn't want anything of that sort spreading about him. His people would possibly ask if his fortress didn't have enough room for the both of them.

But then, he knew deep down within him that wasn't the main reason why he backed out from having her there and then. He couldn't care less about what the people had to say. It bothered him how much longer he could put up with the inward battle for restraint that went on within him.

He wanted Anna, but then, he wanted her to give herself to him. By herself.

The idea of the bargain didn't appeal to him, and he was afraid that it couldn't fill up the void that was within him. He had been searching for a mate who would be a partner and a part of everything he would ever do, and not one who would give herself to him only because of some bargain to make her stronger.

But then, he was unable to deny how much he wanted her. He cr

    Anna's eyes opened quite slowly until she was wide awake. She had thought she had been asleep in her room until she realized that, the scent of vetiver and musk were still strong in the air she breathed.She was still a bit doubtful of where she was until she tossed to her left into the thick masculine build which could only be Lucian's. It was then that it all dawned on her, all that had happened. She had indeed fallen asleep being beside him. Her wolf seemed to be unusually peaceful.There was darkness all over, and it was a bit hard to tell if they were in the dead of the night or the early hours of the morning. It seemed to be probably the former, as they had slept off by sunset.I shouldn't be here, she thought to herself, as she shifted a bit away from him. But then, his bed was quite too comfortable, and that comfortably annulled the thoughts of sneaking out of his room.Before she could make up her mind, Lucian's arm came over her waist, as though he had read her thoughts, and

    Three Years Later…Anna wiped the blood off her sword as she looked down on the dead body in front of her. It was still surreal how she had gone from sluggish practices by the stream side to being at the forefront of the Lock Heart's bout with Craster's forces.It was yet another victory for Lucian and the Lock Heart pack, as they were just about closing in on Craster's territory.Yet another battle, she thought. All the battles seemed the same from the very first day she became approved to join Lucian's men. There was nothing new to it, as it was almost, all about going out, fighting, coming back, and waiting for the next time to repeat the whole process.At a point, it felt like Craster wasn't even putting any effort into the fights, as all their victories were almost flawless. She felt he should have just given up when he had the chance. But then, she knew how great the ego of an alpha could be to give up in a fight and give up his territory in the process.

    “I bet Craster should be thinking of giving up by now,” Lucian stated as Carlyle followed him from behind. “I don't think there's any way out of this for him. We have closed down every possible route for him and his men to gain supplies.”“That foolhardy bastard doesn't look like one who would give up easily,” Carlyle said as opened the doors of his alpha's chamber, feeling glad to be home after yet another conquest. “We'll give him a couple of days to think about it. Maybe seven days.”“That's more than enough time to regroup and prepare for a counter-attack,” Lucian protested as they both sat at a table in his chamber. “We must strike the iron while it's still glowing hot.”“Alright then,” Carlyle suggested, letting out a tired sigh. “Five days.”“Three days. We need them on their toes, and under pressure if we want their decision to be quick, and insensible.” Lucian leaned back in his chair. “That would be yet another territory under our grasp.”“Alright then,” Carlyle said, as he

    “Oh sorry… I didn't know you both were here,” Elsa fumed out of the room, in anger, although she didn't show it outwardly. She had left the letter on the table before storming out of the room.“I've had enough,” she roared at her wolf. “I cannot keep up with trying to be nice to Anna while I watch Lucian slip out of my hands. You see how badly your plan had failed, Audra?”“Calm down,” Audra retorted. “You were not meant to walk in on that moment, in the first place. Just calm down.”“I'm done with calming down and taking things lightly,” Elsa snapped back at her, as she slammed her door shut behind her. “I'm going to make it happen my own way.” She sighed as she threw herself on her bed. “One more fake smile and I might just lose it already.”“I understand your pain,” Audra spoke to her suggestively. “You have been patient for quite a long time, and I guess that's weighing on you.”“Of course, it's weighing on me,” Elsa said. “Each day of the past three years has passed, only to brin

    Anna's description of a perfect day was; a symphony of nature's finest sounds - the cheerful twittering of birds amidst a gently blowing breeze on a sun-drenched morning. The peak of her enjoyment came in the late hours of the morning when she luxuriated in the plush blades of grass in her mother's mystical garden nestled behind the house. The verdant foliage, interlaced with delicate blooms and the fragrance of nature's purest essence, offered her a haven of serenity that she could hardly resist.It was enchanting, as her mother's mystical powers preserved the plants from withering. She'd just lay on the soft grass, as she did that morning, gazing into the distant skies, observing intently whatever caught her eye.Besides the fact that she would turn eighteen, she just felt there was something special about that day. The eighteenth year was significant in the Silver Moon pack because, just as she was told, it was a year of transition. But she felt pretty different from her other frie

    "Don't worry. We forgive you. We accept you for who you are." Anna's three brothers teased Mason for being too girly. While they had gifted her a bow, a silver dagger, and a book on swordsmanship, Mason gifted her a tiara. They teased him so hard that he blushed, though he tried hard to hide his embarrassment.Malcom, Morris, Martin, and Mason had come up to Anna's room to give their gifts before the occasion began, and it wasn't going too well for Mason. They were all seated on Anna's bed as they enjoyed some sibling time before the grand occasion."I couldn't think of anything else she would like." Mason tried to defend himself but to no avail. His defense seemed to have given more room for the tongue-lashing he got."Of course, you couldn't." Malcom capitalized on his statement. "You can't reason contrary to your natural inclination. We accept you regardless." Malcom grinned from ear to ear as the others laughed heartily.Anna was embarrassed for Mason but couldn't help but join in

    Anna froze in terror as her eyes took in the gruesome scene before her. Silver stakes, wolfsbane-dipped silver arrows, and other weapons used to slaughter wolves were scattered haphazardly around the room. The pungent smell of silver mixed with the sickly smell of wolfsbane made her head spin, and her knees threatened to buckle beneath her. Her mind raced with questions, but the terror in the air was so palpable that she couldn't find her voice. Who…? Why…? How…? The answers seemed to elude her, and the overwhelming sense of dread that hung in the atmosphere was almost suffocating that it made her stomach churn with sickness. Trembling violently, Anna's eyes darted around the room, taking in the horrifying scene before her. The metallic tang of blood hung heavy in the air, and her stomach churned as she realized that every inch of the space was splattered with blood. As she scanned the room, her heart leaped into her throat as she recognized the familiar faces of her family members,

    As the first rays of dawn filtered through the trees, Anna stirred from her uneasy sleep. The birdsong that filled the air seemed almost mocking in its cheerfulness as if taunting her with the reminder that the world continued to turn even as her own had been shattered.She half-hoped that she was still lost in some terrible dream. She yearned to believe that the night before had been nothing more than a terrible dream, a nightmare from which she could wake up and start anew. But as she sat up, the harsh reality hit her like a punch to the gut. The events of the previous night had etched themselves into her memory like a cruel tattoo, indelible and searing. They were not some figment of her imagination but a stark, unwavering truth that she could neither escape nor deny.Right there in the lonely space in between tall trees, she lay. The day before, she was on the cushion of her mother's enchanted garden; now, she sought solace in the coarse ground ornamented with leaves and twigs. Sh

    "Yes, it's bound to be awkward," Anna replied to her wolf, as she headed towards the stream. The familiar scent of the leaves forced her to admit that it had been quite a while, and she wondered why Lucian had chosen that place for their practice. Was he trying to bring back memories? If any memories lingered, it would be that of Horace's treachery.“It's not meant to be awkward,” Ava replied to her. “He's our mate, Anna, and you should learn to embrace that and make it easier for the both of us.”She could feel her wolf leap within her as Lucian's scent soon came subtly into the air. His essence could entice anyone.“Get a grip, Ava.” Anna tried to still her wolf, which was almost in an erratic frenzy because of Lucian's presence. She wondered what Lucian's wolf looked like. “We're here to train, and not to catch any sort of feelings.”“He smells so good…” Ava's words echoed unpleasantly in Anna's head“Just stop…” Anna couldn't get herself to say how irresistible his scent was in he

    “He's all yours,” Audra roared in Elsa's head.Elsa tried to restrain herself a bit more as she recalled how it had ended the other time. But he looked needy and hadn't pushed her away even though she was drawing dangerously close.‘You're smarter than that,’ Elsa reminded herself, as she wanted to wait for more cues to make her move. Lucian looked heavy, and it was just the perfect scenario, but she needed another convincing subtle go-ahead order.“You never need to worry about anything, Lucian,” she stood to her feet, calculating her woes every step of the way. “All you have to do is...” she stood behind him, putting her hands on his shoulders, and rubbing them gently, “is to look how far you have come, and all the obstacles you were able to overcome...”She felt like she could add more to that, to make him give her the cue she was desperately looking for. Her patience was running thin, as she was barely keeping herself from going all in.“Thanks...” he said, through a relaxed sigh.

    “What?” Lucian could barely keep himself from teetering at those words. How could she? Why would she? Just when he had thought his happiest days had come, he was being met with such a queer request.Anna felt hesitant to repeat herself as she had spent it out the first time, but then, she had to clear him of every doubt. “I cannot be your Luna.”“What did you just say...?” Lucian felt his blood boiling through his veins at her words. Who does she think she is to make such a decision?He motioned towards her and she took nervous steps backwards. She saw the fury in his eyes and it scared her but she tried to keep calm.‘She can't possibly be serious...’ Lex stuttered in his head.“Why do you make such a request “Do you have the slightest idea of what you're demanding?” He stopped in front of her, his intimidating features towering over her.Anna gulped, “W… well, I know what exactly you're demanding, and there's no way in a blue moon that I can be your Luna or that of the Lock Heart,”

    “Finally,” Lex said to him, sounding pleased and relieved.Lucian was unsure how to feel about Anna's reaction to them being mates. She was just as predictable as he had thought she was. Even though the pull was obviously gnawing at her mercilessly, she seemed to somehow hold get fort against it.“You won't have to try to put up with resisting her anymore,” his wolf went on. “That's almost the hardest thing to do. It was much harder than ending all those men Leola had betrayed you to.”But then, it was beginning to seem like the problem of trying to resist had ended, just to give way for another one. She seemed to resist him that time around. He wasn't sure how much longer he could keep up with that, after waiting so long to have her.“You are worried about her?”“Just a little bit,” Lucian admitted, but he wasn't going to show it in any way. Not to Anna. He recalled how badly it had gone the last time he had let his emotions get the better of him and was determined not to let anythin
