Stella POV
He didn't dare answer my fucking question. Why is he reacting that way? What in the blue world is happening to him? I am concerned, he is a great guy and was conflicted and in pain, and if I can help him figure things out, I will do it. When I pressed him for answers, he apologized again and walked away. I stood there drowning in a tidal wave of emotions.
I walked out of the compound where the meeting was held decided that I needed to rest, and headed back to my room. Locking the door behind me, I walked towards the bathroom and fixed a bath with salts. I needed to relax and think clearly about what happened.
The warm water did the trick, but suddenly I felt sick, my head was pounding, and my vision was blurring. I let out a big scream in pain, before blacking out completely.
Everything went black, and then I felt a shot of tingles and sparkles shoot all over my body. What the hell is goin
Romeo POVAfter my mom's rant and my dad's cryptic help, I took the book from my office to my room and read it at the next available chance. I had no idea why, but I felt like I had to go back to Stella.As soon as I entered my floor her sweet strawberry cheesecake scent hit me like a ton of bricks. Her scent intensified over the last two hours. Wow, I am so attracted to her scent, well, to her overall.I walked towards my room, stopping by her door. It was closed, and I decided that before going to bed, I wanted to see her. I cautiously knocked on her door and heard shuffling on the other side, before she opened the door."Hey Romeo…" She sweetly greeted me. "Hey, Stella, just stopping by and checking out how are you feeling?" I said, looking into her eyes…Max was a mess, he kept leaping and jumping up and down. "Kiss her you dumbass…" he said in my head, a
Romeo POVThe part of the prophecy that I was not aware of, only shed light on the fact that I was 26 and about to meet her. That she was cursed by a witch and a She-wolf and that to break the curse we would have to mate.My head was spiraling, because I had had sex with Paige two times, and she was not the one the prophecy referred to. She has a wolf, so definitely she is not the one. Max was running in circles in my head, screaming "Leia… Leia," that made the whole thing more confusing, because I kept seeing Stella in my head.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my mind. I stood up and walked towards the door to open it. I knew it was Stella, her unmistakable scent peaked through the door, before opening it."Hey, come in," I said, moving to
Stella POVAfter talking to Romeo, I felt relieved that he thought the same for me. We are getting to know each other and falling in love with each other. I would never have imagined that it could be a possibility.We ended our chat, promising to talk about ourselves as soon as we returned from CrescentMoon. I quickly went back and entered my room. I had to pack my bag for tomorrow. Instead of being a nuisance, as usual, the whole packing process was rather pleasant... I was in a superb mood. I couldn't erase the silly smile on my lips. I couldn't help it. Leia kept chanting, in my head, that Max wanted us.I needed to get used to her because she was driving me crazy. I packed my duffle bag with tons of training clothing and some dressy clothing just in case.I tossed and turned the whole night, thinking about the mission, thinking of the risks and dangers, but mainly thinking of him. Romeo took most
Romeo POVAfter a 5-hour drive, we arrived at CrescentMoon. The place is nice and thriving. We were received by Alpha Leo and Luna Martha, next to them his Beta Bob, his son Tony, the future Alpha, and next to him Brad, their future Beta.Both SUVs parked up front of the packhouse, and all the guys quickly stepped out of the cars. Corey, Elliot, Gus, Jack, and Nathan climbed out of their SUV. Morgan and Zach did the same, they were ready to stretch out, after the long ride. Stella was about to open her door when I stopped her.“Let me do it…” She looked at me and nodded. I quickly climbed out of the car, earning a few gasps, because nobody knew I was coming to the mission. I opened her door and she stepped out. Tony and Brad looked at each other and grinned at Stella.Stella shivered but composed herself quickly. She slowly walked and joined the rest of her teammates. I moved forwa
Stella POVRomeo held me against his body for a while. I was yawning by the time he left my room. I hope everything goes well tomorrow. Honestly, I missed him the second he walked out, but we needed to keep our distance. After all, we were on a dangerous mission and needed to focus on the task.The next day, we started training at 5:30 and by the time we were summoned for breakfast, we were ready to face the day. Gus and Morgan were in charge of physical recon of the area, while Corey and Jack were in charge of setting up cameras around the perimeter. Nathan was the Commander on site, while Romeo was the Commander around the control center. Elliot, Morgan, Zach, and I stayed at the control center, setting everything up and programming all the technology. Romeo's presence was distracting, so I made a mental note to talk to Nate about it, seeing that maybe he could keep him away from me.By lunchtime, we were all settled a
Romeo POVThe doctor came and checked on Stella. Apparently, she was in so much distress that she passed out. He confirmed that she was getting her wolf, and he was mesmerized to know that she had elemental powers. The doctor tended to some injuries she had on her forehead and some bruises and cuts on her body and told me to let her rest. He sent a nurse to perform some tests on her, including a rape kit. I was so upset that I couldn't stay in that room for another minute.“Corey… Can you come for a minute?” I mind-linked him. “Yes, Alpha…” He quickly answered. In a matter of minutes, he was knocking on my door. I opened the door only to be greeted by Nate, Corey, Elliot, Zack, Jack, Gus and Morgan. “Hum, Alpha, we are very concerned…” Morgan said, and I was surprised to hear Morgan's voice, he was a fierce warrior, with very few words on his account.“I know
Romeo POVSomething bigger than me made me confess my feelings to her. I was not expecting her to reciprocate and said that she loved me back. I wanted to kiss her and wrap myself in her, but I knew she was vulnerable and hurt, and I needed to control Max from taking over and mating her.I knew that she needed time to recover, to get herself together, and some more time to get to the point that she willingly trusted me. I would have to be patient, but I knew that somehow we would get there.After our confessions, I took her bag inside the bathroom, and she changed by herself. Luna Martha ordered an Omega to bring food for her to my room. There is no doubt that she is a great Luna and host. I took Stella into the couch that was inside my room and forced her to eat something. “Romeo, tomorrow we need to scan the area, I am pretty sure the rogue wolves are located there…” She said and I looked at her, I c
Romeo POVI was desperate, Stella found out in the worst possible way about my mom's plan on making Paige my Luna. I was speechless at her reaction, I could see how hurt she was, I could feel her rage and her disappointment. She asked Nathan, as her commander, to relieve her from her mission here, and he agreed. He even agreed on taking her back to Royal Pack, but to my surprise she wanted to go back to Silvercrown.Max was desperate, we could feel her feelings, and we had to endure our own pain. I denied her request to leave the Royal Pack, but she kept asking, until she faced me. I hope someday I can erase from my mind the look on her face. Her eyes were bloodshot red, her gaze screamed pain, her whole demeanor told me that I broke her.When I kept denying her requests, before Nathan could agree to more nonsense, she faced me, pulling herself together and just said “How dare you?...” I know I have no right
