Claudius' perspective Vivid murmurs and groans from Eero who was moving too much woke me up from my sleep. “She's having a nightmare,” my wolf whispered to me. I pulled her closer to me and lightly tapped her cheeks while I was shaking her body too to wake her up. Upon seeing this, a tear made it out of her still-closed eyes. I panicked and shook her even more, but she wasn't waking up. Eero then suddenly choked while she was holding her throat as if she were stopping blood from coming out of it. “Baby, wake up… you're having a nightmare. Eero... Eero!” She gasped as she opened her eyes. Fear took over her pupil and she pushed me away from her, moving towards the corner of the bed. “Stay away from me, Claudius, please!” She pled and cried. I reached for her, but she flinched so badly. “Eero, it's me. It's just a nightmare. You were having a nightmare.” I extended my arm for her to come to me, but she froze in her spot. “Why? What happened? Why are you suddenly so scared
Cielo's perspective When the following morning finally came, Luna Eero's favorite tea awaited her at the dining table. We heard the couple. Clau couldn't get enough of her again last night, and this tea would help restore her energy from the sleepless night that she had. Her cheeks blushed as she pulled her chair. “We were loud again?” She asked, biting her tongue afterward. I nodded my head at her and she grinned awkwardly. “It's okay. You and the Alpha are a young couple filled with energy.” “It's best if we make the room soundproof. Don't you think so?” “I am afraid the Alpha would say no to that. The reason his room wasn't soundproof is for him to hear any noises from outside.” She paused. “It's one of his precautionary measures in case someone attacked the pack while he was sleeping. It would wake him up fast,” I explained to her. Her fingers hugged her mug and she slowly sipped her morning tea. I went back to chopping the ingredients for our lunch when I noticed t
Eero's perspective I couldn't help but notice how Cielo kept an eye on me these few months. Whenever I thought that I got used to how she was suddenly acting towards me and with her riddle-like wordings that confused me most of the time, she'd do something new that would throw me off again. “You are giving me that look again,” I commented. I looked at the little girl in front of me that I handed a school bag filled with school supplies. The young girl then went to Cielo where she received a sandwich and a yogurt drink as her snack. “Am I scaring you, Luna?” I chuckled at her question. “No. Not really, but I am worried about you. You are looking at me as if there is something that I must know, and yet, you have no way to tell me about it.” “Very well. I'd like it if you think that way.” I looked beyond the boy in front of me. Two more and we were done with this charity work. “Let me do that for you,” I offered. I took the school bag from my hand and distributed it to the
Eero's perspective Ameo was smiling mischievously as he ended the phone call with Claudius. “Did you really think that Claudius would give up his warriors and deltas in exchange for me?” “If it's just you, I'd have my doubts, but because you got that thing.” He eyed my belly. “I am sure that he will.” Ameo pulled a chair and placed it not far from mine. “You'll give birth in three weeks. It's a son. That baby is the future Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Claudius will do anything for that… and for you.” Ameo frowned in amusement. “Didn't you know that Claudius was down bad for you? He'll move a mountain if he must do for you.” “Tell me how did you tame the cruel Alpha? Did you serve him your pussy anytime he wanted it? Were you that good? You were able to sate him? Rumors have it that he used to have a lot of breeders because he's a sex addict.” Ameo mocked and the rogues he was with laughed. “You have no right to talk to the Luna of Blood Moon Pack in that manner! I'll r
Eero's perspective I still couldn't grasp my head around the truth behind Cielo's real identity, and I was not allowed to tell Claudius about this. “Once we are back in Regulus…you're going to let Claudius and I fend for ourselves?” I could not help but ask her. “Not so soon, but once I ensure that there would be a century of peace in the realm, then my task here is done, and I must go back to serve the Sun God,” she answered truthfully. I looked up at the full bloom. “My wolf transformed into a powerful one and up to now, I could feel that something had changed. Do you perhaps have something to do with my transformation?” “Luna, I am just a priestess, not a God. I can't give you special ability nor make you stronger within a snap of my finger.” I slowed down and looked her in the face. “But you know that my wolf was hiding some incredible strength and power.” “Your strength and power is a blessing that your lineage receives from the Sun God, himself. You might have l
Eero's perspective If Perseus was in a place near me, I would be able to feel him. Our bond will lead me to where he was, and he's a little baby, an hour old baby, he couldn't have gotten far by himself. “He was stolen from me,” I mumbled my realization so loud that it stopped Cielo from looking around the place. “There is no way I'd lose him unless he was taken from me… a-and how come that we didn't wake up when he has been taken away from u-us?” Cielo was a light sleeper. If the kidnapper didn't wake me up when he was taking my son from me, it would have woken Cielo for sure. “Luna Eero,” Cielo mumbled nervously. She showed me a vial. “What's that thing?” “It's a potion used to make shifters fall into a deep slumber,” she answered. My heart skipped a beat, as it only confirmed my hunch that Perseus was taken away from me. “B-But who would have taken Perseus from you? Ameo is already dead and Serra is in the pack…" “Vera. She is the only one who could have done this
Eero's perspective When a child loses their mother, in the blink of an eye, the world becomes a strange place in their eyes, but if it's a mother who loses her child, not only does it become a strange place, but for them, the world will stop completely. Cielo sighed, holding a tray in her hand, while the one that she served me for lunch remained untouched by me. I knew that she was getting déjà vu. “You were like this when you first got here. You don't talk to anyone, and you never eat your food.” Claudius walked in. It felt like seeing him for the first time after we had buried our firstborn pup. “Leave us alone, Cielo,” he said. Not only did Claudius grow cold and distant towards me. He was doing the same thing to Cielo. “Alpha Claudius…" “Do you want me to banish you from my pack, or you'll do just as I say? Have you forgotten, you were at fault too? If you didn't fall asleep. Perseus wouldn't be taken away and killed!” He hissed at Cielo. I looked at her and nodded
Eero's perspective It's been nearly a month since all of us set foot on Howling Island, and none of us have seen progress. Claudius never left the island. He was casting me out of the meeting with his small council. It was Adeline that he was with 24/7. “You are his beta and best friend. He tells you everything that's going on in his head and he loathes me.” “The Alpha does not loathe you,” Caspian cut me off. We were coming back from the daily training of our delta and warriors to keep them in shape. “Well, he does. He informed me that himself.” “And you believed that?” “Why shouldn't I? In case you're not aware, Claudius had distanced himself from me after our firstborn died. He found his true mate here and has been fucking here since we got here.” I showed him my third finger. “Claudius seizes the opportunity to hurt me whenever he was mad, and he raped me, multiple times.” I bit my lower chip after I said those. “He did what to you, Luna?” “It was a duty of mine t
