Paige POV
I went to visit Coral, my witch friend. She was distressed because she had a vision of me losing Romeo. You see, she wants to rule the world and to do so, she needs me as Luna of the Royal Pack.
I, on the other hand, need her to become Luna, and then I plan to dispose of her. Once I have achieved my goal, but in the meantime, I need to play along.
"Hey, Coral.. What is going on?" I asked as soon as I entered her shop. "Well sweetie, yesterday I had a dream and I saw how Romeo is strengthening his bond with Stella, and she is gaining her powers… Haven't you felt it?" She asked, and then I reflected on the tiredness and weakness I have been feeling the last couple of days.
"Yeah. Now that you mention it… I have been feeling quite tired…" I said with concern. "She is breaking the spell… If you don't intervene, she and Romeo will be together soon… and everythi
Stella POVI woke up tangled in two strong arms. As soon as I moved, his beautiful blue eyes snapped open, and a shy smile showed on his sexy lips. “Good Morning, Beautiful,” he said in his husky morning voice. My body lit up on fire just hearing his sexy voice, his scent clouding my senses.I smiled at him and replied, “Good Morning, My Alpha…” He raised his head to kiss my forehead.“I love it when you call me that, Sweetheart.” He tightened his grip on my body, but I needed to go to the bathroom and freshen up. I could almost guarantee that my hair was a mess.“Romeo, Could you please let me go?” I asked him, and he snuggled more.“Not can't do, sweetheart… I just had the best night ever, and I need more time with you like this.” He whispered in my ear, sending shivers all over my body, and then he conti
Romeo POVAfter breakfast, I went to the dungeons with Alpha Leo. Nate and the team started getting all the reports of the attack, and we started analyzing the data, to see if this was the attack we had expected on this pack. After all, the previous attacks were full front attacks and this one seemed like an unplanned rogue attack.The stench of the dungeons, a mixed blend of blood, dirty, feces, and rotten, invaded my nose in an instant. I usually hated interrogations, but I was desperate to know why they targeted Stella. CrescentMoon´s Beta was there warming up and preparing our prisoner for the interrogation.I quietly sat on a chair across from the beaten-up rogue, and pushing my Alpha aura, calmly said, “You will now tell me your name, your boss's name, and why you attacked this pack yesterday…” His bloodshot eyes looked at me with hatred, and he gave me a wicked smile.
Rose POVWe were having lunch. The Special Ops team, Luna Martha, informed me that Paige had requested a picnic basket to share with her sister. I have no idea Paige's intentions in taking Stella out on a picnic because their relationship is nearly non-existent.I was sitting next to Nate when Romeo walked inside the dining room. “Hey guys…! He greeted all of us, and his next question was, of course, “Where is Stella?”. I had to laugh because he was pretty obvious about his interest in my sister. “She went to have a picnic with Paige…” I said and the look on his face was priceless. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.”OK, let me know when she gets back…” He patted Nate's back and headed towards the main table.After having a pleasant lunch with the guys, I went looking for Stella. I wanted to see how it went with Paige. I knocked
Stella POVMy head is pounding, and my heart is aching. I can't feel my wolf and my mind is drowning in an abyss of darkness.Paige, how could she? Her last confession made my blood freeze for an instant. I knew she would fight with me for his love, but trying to kill me was on another different level. If becoming an Omega was devastating, this would break me beyond repair.I have no idea what has happened to me, but the only thing I can feel is pain, emptiness, and sorrow. A warm feeling spread around my body and I felt some sort of relief. Where am I, and why can't I open my eyes? My lids seemed to be glued to each other.*****I have no idea how long I have been here, in this state. I wonder if Romeo is looking for me… I can't believe how much I miss him. I hear some faint noises and some faint herbal scents… they are soothing, but not to the extent that Romeo's
Stella POVI finally opened my eyes, I was lying on a mat on the floor. I have no idea where I was. I tried to search in my surroundings and find a clue as to where I was, but I couldn't put anything together. I tried to reach Leia, but she was a no-show. I was definitely inside a shack or cabin, with the trees peeking through the window, maybe in the middle of the forest.The door opened, and an old lady walked in. “Oh, dear! You are up…” She said.Her face was full of wrinkles, and she didn't seem to be a werewolf.“Yeah… What happened? Where am I?” my voice was shaking, and I was hesitant, not knowing if I should trust this lady.“Well, first you can trust me…” She laughed, it was as if she was reading my mind.“Excuse me?” I asked, trying to feign confusion.“Oh darling… you don't need to pretend with me… I am too old to waste my time
Stella POVI have been following every instruction that Eleanore gave me. She fed me every day with healthy meals and the awful potion. I have been feeling quite better, only the sinking feeling of my sister trying to get me cursed and killed.My mind usually wanders about her motives. My parents were always fair with both of us, well at least until I couldn't shift. They are not the typical loving-caring parents. My dad is a ruthless Beta, well-known in most of the werewolf community. He is also a renowned strategist. Overall, his work translated into his personality and personal relations. He is an overachiever, so he always pushed us both, to live and be the best in whatever we wanted to dedicate our time to. Another characteristic of his is that he is a very pragmatic person, he is always driven by the end result.My mother is the seer of SilverCrown Pack. She has a quirky personality, she is funny and caring, but sh
Romeo POVThe packhouse was a mayhem, so many people were running and hustling to get everything up and ready for tonight's ceremony. The ceremony would be held in the backyard with the full Moon as a witness.I took a deep breath, praying to the Moon Goddess to help me with this next step. I have always had faith in our Moon mother, and I know that she will take care of everything that is next to come. My heart was in constant pain, and I also prayed for it to end soon. I rolled my eyes when I saw my mother yelling at an Omega to hurry up with the flowers.“Good Morning, Mother…” I said in a solemn voice. My mother was never affectionate and to say that we had a close relationship would be a big fat lie, but since I agreed to this ceremony, she has been oddly happy and nice to me.“Oh, my son… Are you ready for this big step?” she gave me a smile that could blin
Stella POVWe woke up early in the morning. The Circle of the Willow territory was about 8 hours away from the Royal Pack. So we had a long way to go… Ellie said that because I was with them, they managed to rent a car, but neither of them was proficient at driving, since all of them usually teleport to places, so it was my duty to drive the long ass road. I laughed at their antics when they decided to cramp themselves in the back of an old SUV. Ashia rode next to me, and the other four goofballs clapped and laughed at the whole “traveling like humans” experience.I turned on the engine and started our journey to meet my destiny. I was nervous as hell, and I couldn't help but laugh when they started playing road games, like little kids. Ashia fell asleep and things got worse with the four elderly. Ellie produced some snacks out of nowhere and Elphaba produced wine. She can master the elemental power of water and, with a si
