Eero’s perspective“To whom do we owe this pleasure of you gracing us with your presence, Alpha Claudius?” Alpha Ameo asked seconds after he redeemed his composure. No one on in the Moon River Pack expects us to be back this soon. “What's with the sudden visit?” He asked again. His eyes were pasted on Alpha Claudius. The silence between him and Alpha Claudius stretched and that's when he finally noticed me. “Eero, what's wrong? Did you do something that might have upset the Alpha?” Alpha Ameo questioned me through mind link. I was too occupied with the thought that this man whom I thought was my father was nothing but a mere stranger to me. That's probably the reason he treats me differently and why he chose Serra as his heir and the future Alpha of Moon River Pack, even when I am his firstborn. It turns out that I am not, Serra is. She is his only daughter, too. “Dear, did you come bearing good news?” Luna Vera intervened in the conversation. She eyed my tummy, expecting to see a
Serra’s perspectiveBiting my fingernails, I looked up to Leo after I heard him scoff. Flashing a questioning look why he created such noise. All that I got from him was a smirk as he sipped on his wineglass. “If Cohen survives the rejection, his wolf would only be strong enough to keep him alive, other than that. He'll live his life as if he were wolfless.” I stopped biting my fingernails and raised an eyebrow at him, confused as to why he was telling me this thing. The new Alpha of Dark Moon Pack playfully smirks at my confusion. “I am just telling you.” “And you are telling me this because?” He shrugged his shoulder before he finished the wine in his glass. “To ease you, somehow? Cohen is an ex of yours. You were engaged to him. It's indeed a short period of time, but you were in love with him. I am sure that it pains to see your ex lover in a state like that.” “Who told you that?” I asked him, eyeing him flirtatiously, sending signals that I want him tonight. “No one. I on
Caspian’s perspective"How is she? How long will it take for her to gain some of her strength back and wake up?" I asked Claudius. He tore his eyes off his breeder and pasted it to me. "Tomorrow morning is the earliest. Their Doctor is not sure, but I bet it won't be too long, I hope." I nodded my head at Alpha Claudius. If I was estimating it right. He's been looking after her for more than five hours now, never leaving her side. I looked at Eero. She looks peaceful while she is lying on that bed, but every so often her eyebrow would not against each other, and she will groan in pain. Every time she does, Claudius starts to panic, even when he was told beforehand that something like this will happen. "A-Alpha," she called with her eyes still closed. Alpha Claudius leaned closer to her. He even held her hand. I couldn't help it but pop a smile on my lips. "Stop smiling," he said. My eyes widened. I am certain that his eyes were on her, so I couldn't figure out when he saw me smil
Caspian’s perspective“I wish to end it.” The smile on her lips faded as my words finally sank in. Serra shakes her head, rejecting what I want to happen. “What do you mean, you want to end it?” “You can't do that to me. I am an Alpha's daughter. I am Ameo's heir and the future Alpha of Moon Rivers Pack. Why would you reject the likes of me?” “Why shouldn't I? I am not in love with you, and I can see through you. I know how evil you can be, and I know what you did to Eero.” Serra scoffs. “You are going to believe her? Over me? I am your mate! Why would you turn your back on me for some other girl?” I moved closer to her, leveling my lips on her ear. “Now, I guess you already knew what Eero felt when Cohen turned his back on her.” Serra held my arm, stopping me to walking out from her for the second time around. “But it was different. Cohen was in love with me, and turning his back on Eero is something I didn't ask myself. He did that according to his own will.” “And I am doi
Serra’s perspectiveI dried tears off my cheeks and slowly stood up from the cold floor of our kitchen as the Beta of the Blood Moon Pack vanished from my eyes. “I really didn't mean to hurt him. I was just doing everything that I can to stop him from rejecting me,” I said, convincing myself that none of this was my fault. If only he listened to me, then none of this would have happened. My wolf could feel how badly hurt he was and if he won't get treated right away then something might happen to him. Even when I was feeling anxious, I took the very same path that he took, and it leads me to the second floor, to Eero's room specifically. The door to her room was left half-opened. Caspian was sitting on the bed. Eero was holding his wounded hand. I was about to fully open the door to let them know about my presence when the fresh wound around his pulse healed. My eyes couldn't believe with what I saw. It felt like my eyes were fooling me. I closed and rubbed it and then upon openi
Eero’s perspectiveI looked at the door of my room. It felt like I saw someone standing in there, but when I went ahead to check it. There was no one. The hall is empty, and all the doors in the room next to mine are closed as well. I have lightly shaken my head and heaved a sigh out of relief. I only stopped looking around after I felt Alpha Claudius standing next to me. “What's the matter, Eero?” He asked me. He was eyeing the very same hall that I was inspecting earlier. I turned to him and shaken my head while my hand moves to close the door. “Nothing. It's just that I thought I saw someone standing near my door when we were talking, but there was no one.” Alpha Claudius gazes at the door, and then his eyes quickly found their way back to me. “Let me help you back in bed.” He offered me his arm that I was about to hold unto until I saw the playful smile on Beta Caspian, teasing us. He twisted his head towards his direction, and the Beta innocently raised his hands, telling th
Eero’s perspectiveLuna Vera playfully moved her eyebrow in excitement as she waited for me to say something to her, but her offer hasn't sunk on my head yet, and I am still processing it. “What do you think? I know that we are not exactly the perfect parents for you, but trust me, dear. Your father and I loved you.” Luna Vera held my hand to further add sincerity in her first appeal, but I can see through her. I know that she wants something from me in return. A familiar clacking of heels against the wooden floor of our kitchen made me turn to the arc door, the entrance, and exit of this part of the main house. My eyes were quick to notice that the dress Serra was wearing was the one I gifted to her on her birthday last year. “Sweetie, where did you get that dress? It looks good on you. It was my first time seeing that one.” Luna Vera commented that made me smile sarcastically. Now I am more curious to find out what it is that they want from me that they would do all of this jus
Claudius’ perspectiveI got up as soon as I felt that I was now all alone in bed after I tried searching for Eero with just my hand while my eyes were still closed earlier as I am still feeling asleep. Her room is just the sized of my walk-in closet. All it takes is a few turns of head to check out the entirety of this place. “Caspian!” He remained fast asleep, with drool flowing from her mouth. “Caspian! Wake up!” I yelled at him, but just like before. His body remained motionless. I grabbed the pillow behind me and threw it straight to his face. “Wake the fuck-up!” Caspian was still half asleep when he got up from the floor. He turned to the door with his fist all ready to square up with anyone who posted us threat, but there was none and upon realizing that. He scratched the back of his head, and then he turns to me. “Why would you wake me up like that, Alpha? I thought someone was attacking us, like on the verge of death,” Caspian whines before he sits back down on the floor
Eero's PerspectiveI didn't want to get up from the bed. The softness of the mattress was tempting me and on top of that, my eyelids felt heavy to open. My mind had already agreed that I'd stay in bed for another hour after I checked the time when I felt my stomach churning. It stopped me from my track, but chose to shrug it off until a squeaky feeling came over me and I couldn't find the urge to throw up.I run fast to the bathroom and vomit whatever is left in my stomach. After rinsing my mouth, I checked my reflection in the mirror."But I don't look sick." I checked my temperature too and I don't feel feverish."Did I eat something last night that could upset my stomach?" I whispered to myself. I opened the drawer to grab an ointment that I could use for my tummy when I saw an unopened box of tampons.I rushed out of the bathroom to grab my phone on the bedside table."I'm three weeks delayed with my period. My period n
ClaudiusSeeing that the tracker that I asked Caspian to chip on Octavio's skin after he was locked in the cell was moving towards the forest. I got up from my seat and prepared myself to come after him to get my pup back and bring Perseus to safety."I don't get it," Caspian said."This part of this forest where Octavio is heading to is a dead end," he hummed. I looked down at Caspian."What do you mean by it's a dead end?""Alpha, there is no escape route. Octavio knows the Regulus territory better than anyone. It's impossible that he isn't aware that when he run to do this forest, our deltas would easily corner him, and avoid being captured by our deltas. The only thing left to do is to jump from the cliff."My lips parted in shock."I know what that old hog is about to do," I said.Eero grabbed my arm to make me face her. "You do? What is it?"But how can I tell her Octavio's evil
Eero's PerspectiveWhenever Perseus sleeps with me. I would wake up to his tiny arms tightly wrapped around my waist while his face was buried in my arm. It's the muscle cramps and the numbing sensation that wakes me up earlier than usual, and so when I didn't feel him using my arm as his pillow, I instinctively called for his name before I could open my arm."Mate, shh. He's still sleeping," Claudius said in a low voice.I couldn't help but smile and silently giggle as I saw how Perseus had wrapped his arm around his father's upper body."He's hugging me so tightly that I could barely breathe, but I can't dare whine. I like feeling this little pup in my arm," he said to me.Perseus looks tiny in Claudius' arms, way more fragile looking compared to when he is in my arms."Don't move. I'll take a picture of you two," I said to him and slowly got up, moving carefully so the noise wouldn't wake up our son.Cla
Eero's PerspectiveCaspian and Miguel cleared their throat in a not-so-subtle way in an attempt to make me and Claudius break away from the hug that we were sharing."I think I caught a cold. I can't stop coughing," Caspian said again while he continued to force himself to cough. I chuckled and attempted to push Claudius away."They are hinting that we should stop flirting in front of them," I whispered to Claudius."I don't give a damn about them, Eero." "Why don't you two search for your fated mate or second chance mate so you won't be jealous anymore?" Claudius asked Caspian."Did you think that I'm not trying to do that? I'm desperately looking for my fate mate, dude, but maybe if you'd stop dragging my ass in different places then I'll be able to find her."Our eyes then gathered to look at Miguel, who was enjoying his toasted marshmallow. I'm in no rush to look for her. It's called fated mates, when the timing i
Eero's Perspective"I had to come here to tell you that dinner is waiting for us," Claudius said while his eyes sharply traced the newly-founded distance between me and Miguel."Oh, yes, because we don't have enough omegas around the realm which is why the Alpha picked us himself for dinner," Miguel whispered sarcastically."Were you trying to say something, Blackthorn?" Miguel grinned and shook his head."Did you hear me say something?" Claudius glared at Miguel even more."I was starving, I could eat a whole cow. I hope you prepared a feast for me, Claudius?" Miguel flashed a teasing smile at my mate."It's the least you could offer after I did the favor that you asked me years ago.""Every meal in the realm is considered a feast, but if you're craving for a particular dish that wasn't served at the buffet. You could request that from our private chef. They will accommodate any of your cravings.""Ah
Eero's PerspectiveI narrowed my eyes at Claudius and hit his chest. My mate laughed at me before he pulled me closer to his chest. He gently sniffed the scent of my hair and then I felt him kiss my forehead."Your legs are still shaking," he whispered laughing. I raised my hand to hit him again, but he skillfully caught it. His fingers caged my wrist and pinned it back on the bed, within a blink of an eye. Claudius was back on top of me. His manhood poking my thighs."Let me rest, will you, please? I missed you too. I miss making love to you, but I'll end up limping if we do it again. I'm sore down there.""Let me check," he said. Claudius moved fast down. My lips twitched in pain and the muscles in my face twisted."It's all red and swollen. Taking a cold bath will soothe you. Should I wash you? Or do you want to take a nap first?" He asked. The sun outside was slowly leaving the sky. In an hour, it'll be dinner time.&nb
Eero's PerspectiveClaudius smirked at me. I narrowed my eyes at him. He walks to get a bottle of his whiskey. Claudius drinks straight from it."This is why you're the perfect mate for me," he said suddenly."You were never afraid of me. You'd rather face my wrath than let me do things which you view immoral. Hurting a pup who won't be able to defend himself is wrong.""Wrong," I seconded."I don't know how long you'll be the Alpha of Regulus, but I don't want you to be remembered by the shifters as a cruel one."I walk towards my mate. I took the liquor from his hand and it slipped smoothly from his finger because Claudius allowed me to take it away.I cupped his cheeks and rested my forehead against his."The pack has a lot of enemies. I don't want our pack members and the Alpha allies to become our enemies because of your temper and ruthlessness, Claudius. Being the Alpha King may feel like you have abso
Eero's Perspective Perseus who was holding the hem of my blouse let go of it slowly. Fear thumped at my chest as confusion and hurt succumbed to him. "P-Pup, I can explain to you. I-I will explain to you. I-I didn't mean to lie to you." "Does Papa Miguel know that I'm not his?" He asked. Perseus looked and sounded like he was close to crying. "Your Papa Miguel knows that you're not his son." "And Grandpa Codrus? How about my grandparents from Papa Miguel's side? Do they know that I'm not their real grandchildren?" "Pup, does this really matter—""It does, Mama. I need to know if all of you were lying to me." "They know. Our closest family members know. Your Grandpa Codrus and I hide the truth from the rest of the pack members of Regulus and Blackthorn, but those whom we thought should know, they know the truth about your real identity." "T-Then do you plan to tell me that the shifter you introduced to me as my Uncle was my father?" Anger began to color my pup's eyes and I was
Eero's PerspectiveWhen I felt our kissing was getting more intense and knew that it would lead us naked on top of the bed. I had to stop Claudius by pulling my lips from him. My mate frowned. He was about to kiss me again, but I took a step backward to distance myself from him."Eero, you don't like my kisses anymore?" He said, almost pouting his lips.I cupped his cheeks and pecked on his swollen and reddish lips."You look just like your son when sulking," I said to him.
