Eero’s perspectiveThe next day after I got the music box from Cielo, I went to learn horse-riding with Caspian.“You are getting better at riding your horse, Luna.” Caspian offered me his hand before I jumped off the white horse that Claudius had gifted to me.I pulled the leather gloves off my hand and handed it to an omega on my way inside the pack house.“I should be. I’ve been doing this for months.” I stopped walking and turned to Caspian, “I just don’t get it why I have to learn horse-riding. When am I going to use this skill, huh?"It was Alpha Claudius that demanded I master the horse-riding skill, but I dared not to whine about it in front of him.A black sedan pulled over not far from where Caspian and I were standing.“Did you see that? We have cars here! We live in the modern world! Who would choose horses for their rides?” I was really upset with Claudius’ decision.“Luna, why don't you go ask Alpha about that?” Caspian asked back, which made me pout my lips.“Should I g
Eero’s perspectiveAt the mating ceremony the next day.I breathe deeply, clutching my bridal flowers. It felt like I was running out of breath.“Are you okay?” Soleil asked. She was fixing the trail of my wedding gown. Staring at the man waiting for me in the ceremonial arc, I nodded my head at Soleil.“That is your cue, Luna,” Soleil mumbled as the moon started to pass between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow that fully blocked the sun's light.While everyone was enticed by the solar eclipse, looking up at it, I was only looking at Claudius and he was doing the same thing.“You are beautiful, wife,” he said through mind link. “Are you really walking slow, or is the world just in slow motion?”After this day, I would be officially his wife and Luna of the Blood Moon Pack.I stopped a step away from the ceremonial arc. It was his cue to walk towards me, offering his hand for mine to take.“Is that your heart beating so loudly that I can hear it?” I asked in a low voice as we walked
Eero’s perspective“Icy-blonde used to be a unique trait for females who belong to the Xerxes clan,” Cielo said while running her fingers on my hair.“Are you saying that I could be from that clan too? And you're just telling me this now?” My forehead knotted as my heart had skipped a beat at the idea that crossed in my head.Cielo smiled at me, and then shook her head. “Back in Regulus and the three kingdoms, icy-blonde is considered a unique trait of female Xerxes. If a female has a hair like yours but didn't grow up in Regulus or the three kingdoms, it's most likely that she is a long-lost member of the family. A bastard, but still part of the family.”Cielo stopped raking my hair and looked me in the eye.“But when baby Claudius and I set foot here after sailing from Regulus for months,” A sadness curved in her lips, “I found that, unlike back home, icy-blonde is common to both men and women here. So no, Luna. I don't think you're a Xerxes; neither your parents.”“Let's go down? W
Eero’s perspectiveAfter Leo's death, the Blood Moon was taking over his pack. There were so many things that Claudius needed to sort out himself. If not, another he-wolf from Red Moon Pack would ascend to lead it.“You look so tired, Alpha.” I said to him early in the morning“And you're the one who's tiring me each night, little wolf,” he whispered in my ears, his fingers running against my waist, touching my skin.“You're twisting the story, Alpha. You're the one who can't get enough of me. And you've been fucking me EVERY NIGHT since the night of our mating ceremony.” I retorted, narrowing my eyes at him.Claudius stole a peck on my lips, and then he brought back the thread like thin distance between us.“Should I make love to you DURING DAY too?” He was moving closer to me, “How about we START OUR DAY with that as our morning routine?”“And END THE DAY with you inside of me too? Wouldn't that make you a sex addict ?” I got up from bed, reaching out for a blanket. Before I managed
Eero’s perspectiveNo more words came out of my lips, which made Cielo worry. I took a step back and my hand gripped at the backrest of the wooden chair beside the dining table.“Luna Eero, are you all right? Why do you look scared?”My gazes jumped back at Cielo.“Are you not happy that you're finally bearing an heir for the Alpha? This is what both of you have long wanted.”“I&helli
Eero’s perspective The old woman smiled at Claudius. It was more of a smirk than just a plain smile. “Lies? I don't recall telling the Luna lies, Alpha. And even if I wanted to, I can't take back what I had told her.” Silence once again fell among all of us. “Claudius, let's go back home. Let's talk about this with just the two of us. You don't have to do this.” The old woman stared at me, the curve of her lips giving me warmth. “Luna, this isn't your fault. I've seen this exact moment happening. I knew that I'd be facing the Alpha's wrath today… that this would be the end of me.” She glanced at my belly.“No! The Alpha's not going to kill you. M-Maybe you've seen it wrong. Your predictions can't be always accurate.” Even when Caspian tried to stop me from coming at her the second time around, I broke free from him. “Just tell him that you’re sorry! Take you’re your words back so we’re done and through!”“I could take back those predictions, but that doesn't mean they won't hap
Claudius' perspectiveCielo was pacing back and forth anxiously in the living room of the pack house. When she saw me walking in, her eyes flew behind me, looking for the pack's Luna.“Clau, you're finally back! Why isn't Eero with you?”“She'll be right in.” I said coldly.Cielo sighed out of relief. She looked at my hand and noticed the blood stains. “You killed that old woman? In front of Eero?” Obviously, Cielo was shocked too.“Are you going to defend that old woman too?”Cielo shook her head.“No. I didn't mean to defend her. It's just, with Luna's condition…" She suddenly went silent.“Luna's condition? What do you mean by that? What's going on with Eero?” I stepped towards her, because she just piqued my full interest.“She didn't tell you?” She asked back when my patience snapped.“
Eero’s perspectivePacing in our room after I freshened up, I was torn between telling Claudius about my pregnancy before this day ended, or waiting a couple of more days until things between us settled down a little bit.“Luna Eero, you're making my head spin,” Soleil commented.“Soleil, will you help me make the decision? It's almost dinner time and I have to be in the dining room with Claudius. Should I tell him about my pregnancy?”“It's the fifth time you are asking me the same question. I had said both yes and no to those questions, and you had your buts at both of it.”“Where are you?” I stopped walking back and forth when I heard Claudius inside my head, talking with me through telepathy. “Dinner is served. You don't intend to make me wait for too long, right?”I breathed out, and then opened the door with a loud thud before striding confidently
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.
