The White Crescents 41
The Mansion was bustling with a vivacious crowd. Expensive cars drove in, shimmery dresses sparkled under the moon which shone brightly as ever. The vibrant lighting in the Grand Hall uplifted the moods and the soft music playing added the energy to it. Amongst the affluent crowd with their bold ambience, I felt like a weak prey that could be easily hunted and killed. The scent of my fear was stronger than their expensive colognes. I hadn’t joined them yet. I was only observing them from upstairs behind the curtain dressed in a white ball dress. It was see through from my stomach and was backless designed in a way it seemed as if made from ice crystals. The fall of the dress had tailored pearls giving it a light ice blue tint. I could easily be mistaken for a runaway bride…or a bride trying to run away. But I was not a bride today. I was the Kings mate, the supposed Queen. It sounded funnier today than any other normal day. Perhaps because I was going to be declared and if it comes

Both Luna Sarah and Luna Helena got busy with other packs so Maya and I excused ourselves. Come to think of it I had not seen Sabine or Felicia. Now that I mentioned it, Cole and Gray weren’t here either.My eyes caught a pair of black ones. He wasn’t looking at me but talking to a girl. His hair was neatly made yet messy at the same time. It was the first time I was seeing him in a suit. He looked dashing. His body hugged the white formal shirt he was wearing, his grey coat hanging in his hands.I was staring so intensely, so focused on him that I could hear him laugh from afar. That sound was melodious. Jacob Campbell was the perfect image of the high school bad boy. Asher and Jacob seemed the same, their character wise. Both radiated danger, both were arrogant jerks yet both were soft in their heart.Without releasing that I was staring at him like a creep, a blush crept on my face when I was caught red-handed. His eyes lingered on mine, a small mischievous smirk displayed on his l

One worry was out of the way. Alpha Killian was dealing with the rogues and Cole stayed back with him to assist. Sabine and I walked back up.“Did you send anyone at the site of the attack?”“Yes, Adrian, he took members of his pack, they are on the hunt as we speak. We will be hearing from him shortly,”I took a deep breath of relief. Another problem was now out of the way. I could count on Adrian with my eyes closed.“Did you hear anything from Gray and Felicia?” I asked her as we approached the storeroom. It had all the medical equipment.“Yes, everything’s going smooth at their end,” she answered. I entered in and she followed. As if suddenly realizing we were standing in the storeroom, she asked, “What are we doing here?”I pulled out a box and looked at her, “Your wound,” I nodded, “It hasn’t healed yet,”“That’s weird! It should have been completely healed by now, it was just a claw mark,” she rose her eyebrows in amusement as she assessed the cut on her arm.“Exactly, it shoul

Right, I forgot to mention that, ironically, the mark of the crescent moon on my chest is apparently invisible to everyone. When Maya brought the dress in I immediately took notice that the dress would expose my mark so it was going to be a problem. Then I realized that Asher was unable to see it so it might be the same case with Maya. Taking my shirt off, I threw it on the bed and glanced at Maya but she was too busy beaming like a baby as she gazed admiringly at the white gown she had bought for me. Noticing that I was looking at her she cleared her throat and looked at me. “Sorry, I can only imagine how beautiful you’re going to look in this,” She was staring right at me but still had not noticed the mark yet. “Well, you are going to see me right now,” I stated. “Oh no” she shook her head, “you’re going to put it on and tell me if it fits you right otherwise I’ll have it altered to your size,” she smiled. Still her eyes didn’t seem to notice. The door suddenly opened and

Asher's POV: I had ordered them all to come in when the dance was about to begin. Maya had informed me that Aurelia had been asking about them all since the evening had started. I was delighted to know that she was concerned and that she had noticed them missing, it showed that she actually cared. As I thought of her my eyes automatically searched the Hall to find her but to my horror I couldn’t see her anywhere. Maya, where is Aurelia? She answered immediately, I saw her talking to Jacob a while ago. My blood boiled as thoughts clashed together in my brain. I want to see her now Asher. I ignored Axel and was about to rush outside when I spotted him by the bar laughing his drunken ass off with…Alpha Killian. I scowled at the sight. I have always disliked Jacob but looking at him now made me wonder if it was him as a person or did I hate him because he was Christophe’s son? However, Jacob was not my concern. My face was calm from the outside as I discreetly eyed every corner of t

She pressed herself on me and my hands landed on her bare waist to stop her from pushing my limits. “Kiss me,” she breathed out. I leaned in and as she parted her lips my lips touched her cheeks and I walked away from her towards my closet to grab the first shirt that comes in my hand. Aurelia, in her right mind, would have never stood like that in front of me, at least not yet. I was not going to take advantage of her drugged self. A grey t shirt came in my hand and I noticed that it was hers, a crop t shirt. Great. “No, please, I’m literally burning,” I leaned in to whisper in her ear so fast she gasped and boy was I glad to get a reaction out of her. “Wear this, and I’ll get rid of your heat,” I said and before moving back I kissed her jaw. She obeyed and wore the damn shirt, thankfully. She looked at me with anticipation as I cupped her cheeks, “Sweetheart, you really need to sleep,” She groaned as she pulled away from my touch and said what triggered me, “If you’re not will

My eyes fluttered open and I felt exhausted. As if my entire body’s energy had been completely disposed of. I felt warm and felt skin underneath my fingertips. When my eyes opened up fully, it was then that I realized I was cuddling with Asher, my bare leg intertwined with his but he was still in his pants, my arms around his bare chest as I lay atop of him, one of his hands rested on my back and the other on my hip that was hugging him across his legs.I was naked from my legs and thankfully I could feel my underwear but…no bra. I was wearing no bra and my boobs were literally squishing against his hard chest. The thought itself brought blood to my cheeks. My face was resting on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat in my ears, it was so serene and calm. Unlike mine!I slowly moved my head to look at him and saw a sight that would kill girls. His face was turned to the window side and rays of sunlight shone making his skin glow like a Greek god. His lips were slightly parted and no c

Aurelia's POV: “Is she going to be alright?” I asked Asher as he shut the door behind him. I immediately relaxed entering our room. The warmth it gave me was comforting and right now I was really tense. Some questions were bothering me way too much. “Yeah, its Sabine, she’ll be okay,” he sighed. With a long pause I heard him behind me, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine but I just, it’s really pissing me off that I can’t remember anything Asher, nothing at all,” I said my hands making their way to my hair grabbing them in frustration and confusion. “Hey,” he took a step forward grabbing my elbows and held them in his palms grazing my skin with his thumb. “You were under a spell, a witch attacked you,” he explained softly. “It is why you don’t remember,” “Asher, did-” I gulped and took a step back, staring at his feet, “Did we, you know,” “Seriously?” it wasn’t the thing he said it was his tone that made me look at him. Anger. “I just told you that you were attacked by a witch, you could

So this was it. I was dying. This was my story!Before it could even start it ended. An ending caused by my foolishness and carelessness. An ending I brought upon myself which only added on to Asher’s misery.I couldn’t move, could not feel anything. I just felt cold, extremely cold. Derek pulled back.“That was the best I have ever had,”He pulled his hands back from me and I fell on this floor.All the time my eyes were on Asher. He broke free from them, or maybe they let him go.All I know was that he hugged me in his arms as he sat on the ground, picking me in his arms.“No, no, no” he cried, “Aurelia,” for the first time…and the last… I saw Asher Zane shed tears.It broke me.Even on the brink of death, seeing him cry because of me, complexly broke me.I love you Asher. I love you and I’m sorry I was unable to tell you this sooner. So many things left unsaid…I’m so sorry.His warm hand cupped my cheeks, “Stay with me Aurelia, stay with me,” he kissed my forehead.That brought me

Derek’s POV: Wearing my black shirt I left the room, shirt left unbuttoned as I walked through the empty hallways of the Palace. I had to meet the King. It was time we went forth with the plan. “What’s the hurry Derek?” King Luther slurred as he drank from the sixth human who lay topless on the table. The rest were lifelessly settled on the floor. King Luther wasn’t a fat grumpy King, no, he was smart and handsome even being six hundred years old. No spark was lost. That’s the beauty of a Vampire. Flawless beauty unlike those furry stinky animals! “It has to be done now,” “But you just paid them a visit,” he pointed out. “It’s almost a week now. They won’t be expecting a visit anytime soon which it makes it perfect. I’ll be extra discreet,” I smiled. He laughed and held a napkin in his hand. “Go, take whoever you need,” he wiped the blood that ran down his chin. I gave him a nod and left. I had to pay Lisa a visit first. Entering her room, I scanned it but she wasn’t there. An

Now with this new truth about me, a lot of questions were answered but I was still figuring out a way to tell Asher. How can I just drop the bomb on him? As absurd as it sounds it also seems impossible.There has to be a way in which I could prove it to him. Since he, or anyone for that matter, can’t see my mark, it only adds complication. It was understandable why Rufus was not in the favor of me just blubbering it all out to Asher.As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t. I could not go up to him and tell him that I was the last of the White Crescents, the royal pack which was wiped out thousands of years ago.Guess it would have to wait till I can train my body enough to bring out my wolf!It was mid-February so the land was covered in snow. As I breathed near the window mist formed on the glass. I traced out with my index finger, W, O, L, F.What would she be like? I know all White Crescents have white wolves with blue eyes. How big would she be? She has to be a ‘she’ right; I mean obv

Calming my rapid heartbeat, I prepared myself to have conversation with the purple eyed man. I had been thinking about conversing with him ever since our last interrupted chat in the bathroom yesterday. The reason why I was so edgy was unknown to me. He wasn’t an enemy, I was sure of that. In fact something was awfully familiar about him. He seemed like someone who would know answers about the white crescent mark I was on my chest. He said I wasn’t someone ordinary. What am I? Ah. It is exactly why I am being edgy. The horror of finding out who I am. Asher had gone out to patrol the borders. Everyone was busy after the recent attack. On guard! We had suffered a lot of casualties, many lives were lost and not just of our pack army, many people of the settlement also died, women and children. It was devastating to have witnessed them getting murdered in front of my very own eyes. I shook my thoughts and took a deep breath. As soon as I imagined those purple enigmatic eyes, I fel

Cold wind greeted my face as I ran in the white forest. It was freezing but I was only dressed in a white long frock, my hair hung loose over my shoulders. I wasn’t cold though, I was all warmed up. I knew that warmth. That emotion! Oh I knew it all too well. I was in heat. Turning around, my eyes searched the area hoping to find him but he was nowhere. With a rapid heartbeat I pressed my back against a tree and took slow breaths to relieve myself from my tortuous pain. I closed my eyes to think of something, anything that would get my mind off him. “Trying to hide from me?” his voice caught me off guard, my eyes sapped open. He was standing in front of me, amazement dancing no his face. “It’s funny how you think it would work, especially, when you’re aroused,” he whispered in my ear. “Don’t tease me Asher,” I whined, “You always do, it’s…it’s embarrassing,” He chuckled and apologized, “I just like to see you blush,” He started kissing me, his hands roaming over my body.

Derek’s POV: She lay beside me as her sleek arms wrapped around my naked chest. Both of us enveloped in our chain of thoughts lay still after hours of love making. “I don’t understand how father can even think that the Werewolf King will agree to marry me. Especially when he’s found his mate,” We have our ways and she knows it but it was pointless to answer so I stayed quiet. She did have a point. Hypothetically, even if he did agree, their marriage would be the definition of a failure. It was one story if they fell in love and married and blah blah but forcing them into marriage was plain out stupid. Does the King have something else in mind that he isn’t telling me? Is he plotting something behind my back? “He’ll be a prisoner here Lisa. He would be under your control completely. Use him…for whatever needs you have. I heard wolves are some hot creatures to have sex with,” I snuggled in her neck. She hummed and chuckled. “Heard or experienced?” she looked at me questioningly, “

Asher’s POV:Shutting the bedroom door, I stood outside for a minute to calm my crazy heartbeat. It’s funny how the mate bond can make you act. We were in the middle of a crisis, attacked by the Vampires, Aurelia was almost abducted by Derek, lots of my people were killed, brutally, we just got to know that Sabine has wolfsbane running in her blood, Jacob almost died. It’s a disaster!But I’m here. Standing outside my own room, battling my desires, my lust and my wolf so that I don’t take my mates honor when she’s in a drugged state.She is in her senses, Asher. Axel argued and I rolled my eyes.Stop being selfish Axel, she has been drugged. She may be in her senses but her body is reacting because of the substance that’s in her body. I’ll mate with her when she tells me, when she’s ready…and not given some sex drug. Pushing myself away I walked a

“Kill him!”“What? NO!” I tried to push past him but he grabbed my waist and pressed himself against me making me gasp. What the fuck? I almost moaned?!?!“Don’t worry, darling, while they dispose of him, I’ll give you the honor of feeling pure bliss,” he smiled.From behind him, I saw Jarvis making a run at him but before he could take even a leap, he was caught by three vampires, one landed on him gripping his neck into a fierce grip; one stood in front of him, hands on her hips as the third one bit his arm. Jarvis let out a howl, he was in pain. He was in so much pain and I didn’t realize I was shedding tears. “Please stop,” I begged Derek, I begged him like the weak pathetic and helpless human I am.“Shh,” he grabbed my face, cupping my cheeks and cooed as if I were a baby, “Don’t look at him, focus on me,”“Why are you doing this?” I mat

“Calm down Aurelia,” it said again. I shrieked, nearly tripping over the coffee table. Turning my head around, I stood frozen to the ground as I watched the purple eyes staring right back at me from the mirror. With a quick twist I looked behind me only to see nothing but when I saw back in the mirror they were still there. That tall lean man with a black hood hiding his face, nothing but the dark glow of his purple eyes was visible, a purplish black cloak wrapped around his body as he held onto a wooden stick, a purple gem placed at its head. A dark powerful aura surrounded him, something about him was sinister and that is why I always felt afraid when his eyes were on me. “What, what do you want from me?” my voice shook. “I want you to not be afraid,” he instructed and I took a big gulp. “Who are you?” I asked again. “I’m not here to hurt you Aurelia,” he assured. “How do you know me?” I asked hoping he might respond with a clear answer. A smile, a faint smile spread through h
