MAYA.

“Why are you here?” I snarl at him, the anger and pain I feel coming out to lash at him.

“Shouldn't I be asking you that?” he retorts, with a raised eyebrow.

“This is my pack! I have the right to walk anywhere I want to. You do not.”

“Do you also have the right to watch your Alpha while he is dancing the horizontal tango with his mate?”

“I wasn't watching. I didn't mean to. I came to see him, to discuss something with him.”

“At past three in the morning?” he asks with a disbelieving stare.

“You know what?” I snarl as I walk past him. “I don't have to explain myself to you.”

“You have no idea how this looks, do you?” he asks as he falls in step with me. “You peeking at the two of them? I was told that you are one of the pillars of this pack. Wise, discerning, always putting the pack first. I have to say I don't see it.”

“How dare you?!” I snarl as I whirl on him. “How dare you say that to me? You have no idea what I have sacrificed for this pack!”

“No. I don't,” he says as he con

    LUCAS.THREE DAYS AGO.“Well, first things first, let's go smoke out a rat,” Damien says as we approach the doors of the grand hall. “Lucas, guard the doors. Anyone who comes out before me or Natalie, you kill them. No questions asked.”“Got it.”And with a final nod at me, he pushes the door open and walks in with the Luna.Thank the goddess that I don't have to be in that meeting.Over sensitized Alphas, who are about to be told that one of them is a traitor. Yeah, I am not getting involved in that shit show.That said, standing guard at the door quickly gets boring.It reminds me of the days when the previous Aloha was still alive and I was just an ordinary patrol wolf.Endless hours of waiting and nothing.Those endless hours were made bearable with the presence of Damien and Maya who always came to spend the time with me.The three musketeers.We were so close then we could practically tell what the other was thinking before they actually thought it. We could anticipate each of o

    MAYA.“How do you feel?” I ask frantically, as I run my hands over him to check for what? I do not know. But the excitement at seeing him awake still runs through me. “Are you in any pain? Is the poison gone? You know what?” I say as I straighten myself and begin heading to the door. “I will go get Eric.”“Maya,” he calls. His voice is raspy to hear, probably caused by the days he hasn't used it. “I am fine. Spare me the dealers for a while and come sit.”“But-” I begin, pointing toward the door.“Maya. Come sit.”His voice sounds serious, something he usually isn't.He definitely heard my ramblings about Natalie.Damn it.I knew I should have just shut up.With a resigned sigh, I walk back to the bed and plop my behind beside him.“What's up?” I ask.Like I don't already know.“Like you don't already know,” he unknowingly, echoes my thought. “What is this about wanting to get rid of Natalie and having Damien for yourself? Maya?”“It's complicated,” I start to answer.“No. It really i

    NATALIE.“I believe she is possessed by Void.”You have got to be kidding me.“Void?” I ask. “Are you sure?”“Yes, very sure,” he answers “How do you know it was him? It?”“Like I had informed you earlier, I have an immense library full of records of Void. How he works. Whom he targets. And there was also the fact that the aura I felt coming from her- him- it, was without a doubt, pure evil. And cold.”“Damn it!” Damien snaps as he runs his hand through his hair. *I don't suppose you managed to stop him?” he asks, finally deciding on the pronoun to use.“No. He was too far away.”“Um… I'm sorry,” Maya interrupts. “Who is Void? And why is he a problem?”We all then look at her as one before Damien answers. “It's complicated. We will explain everything later, but first, we have to go see Lucas,” he tells her before turning to leave.“Right,” she remarks. “Well, I guess I will see you guys later then.”“What do you mean?” Damien asks as he stops. “Aren't you coming with us?

    DAMIEN.“I suggest a total break from all strenuous duties, * Eric says. “At least for two more weeks. Of course, this is coming from my medical point of view. I have no idea what effects such a malevolent poison like that could have wrought on his body.”“He is not going to like that,” I tell him. “He is always on the go. Always moving. A two week sabbatical will be enough to drive him mad, with boredom.”“Maybe you could find something to keep him busy. Paperwork. Um, recruitment, anything really. As long as he does not put too much physical effort on his body.”“Got it. Thanks, Eric,” I tell him as I turn to leave.”“Anytime.”There is a spring in my steps as I head back to the room. Lucas is alive. He is going to be fine. I have lost no one. My mate is safe. Maya is back, acting weird, sure, but safe.The other Alphas are willing to put the past behind them. Everything is going great.“Sure. Except for the fact that the evil witch is being possessed by an even more evil entity,”

    DAMIEN.“That was heartbreaking,” Harvey, Alpha Maddox says as we walk a few distances away from the crowd. Alpha Kane - Steven, as well as Alpha Sven- Cain, are with us.Natalie had stayed back to talk with Clatiesse. She said she had felt bad for her and wanted to reassure her that she really had no ill will towards her and her pack.“How so?” I ask him.“Having to kill one of us,” he clarifies.“I don't know about that,” Cain says. “I believe the true heartbreak is the fact that one of us caused that many deaths and still had plans to do more. Tobis was a disgrace and should not be mourned.”“For once, I agree with you, Cain,” I add. “There is no point feeling pity for him when he had none for all his victims.”“I understand what you are saying, but the fact that we had to come to this point, an execution, it is just… sad.”“Sad or not, there is no point talking about it anymore,” Steven says. “It's done. Let's move on.”“Hear, hear.”“Very well. I just got we never have to do tha

    NATALIE.Perfection.That is how my days have been.The next day after our ceremony, the Alphas and their contingents left the pack, giving us all a breath of relief.“We will be expecting your response on the party date,” Alpha Maddox tells us as he gets into his car.“Will do.”Lucas was more than ecstatic to see them all go.“I told you they were going to bring trouble with them,” he mutters at Damien.“I thought it was Tobias and Willow that brought the trouble, * I remark.“Well, they came with the conference, did they not?”“Whatever.”So far, any animosity towards me being the Luna of the pack has either vanished or been kept under wraps.Everyone has been warm and accepting and kind.The only one who has shown signs of displeasure is…Yeah, you guessed it.Maya.It is not very obvious.No, she is smarter than that.It is in the little things she does.Finding a quick excuse to leave a room when I walk in.Giving unsolicited advice on how things were done as opposed to how I wa

    DAMIEN.I watch in delighted mischief as Lucas keeps staring at Mirabel like a demented fool. Completely besotted by a woman he just met.Man, I am going to tease him so badly when we are free.Mr. I don't want a mate, I like my peace too much.What a sucker.But right now, we have a serious issue to handle.“Get yourself under control, Lucas!” I bark at him through the mindlink and watch as he starts into attention, his eyes flickering to me.“Mate,” he whispers to me, eyes wide and lost and it takes all of my strength to not break into a smile.“I know,” I tell him. “But right now, her mother is in trouble. You remember who I am talking about. Fredja?”“Fredja,” he repeats. “Fredja, eight. Sorry. Let's get back to business.”Once I am sure that he is back to his normal self, I turn back to the rest and notice that they are all watching the both of us.“Sorry about that,” I say out loud. “Lucas here is a very good friend of Fredja, in addition to being extremely worried about her w

    DAMIENWith a startled gasp, I rear up, alert despite it being just past two in the morning.I leap off the bed and out of the room, hurrying towards Lucas’s room.Ramming my gist on it, I shout, “Wake up, Lucas?! Wake up, we have got a problem!”A few more raps and the door swings open.“You know, this is becoming a habit, “ he mutters as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and yawns. “A terrible habit. Which mountain is on fire?”He is dressed in just boxer briefs, that looks like he just put it on.“Fredja,” I state.Instantly, he comes alert, blue eyes trained on me and intensely focused.“What about Fredja? What happens to her? Is she alright? I swea-”“We think the council is with Void,” I tell him.“The council. The high council? The one she has been with all this while? How, why?

    NATALIE“You can't do that!” I exclaim.I am still sitting there stunned by her remark.What does she mean to come back as a mortal? The whole reason this mess started is because she came as a moral in the first place.“Why not?” she asks with a pout. “I want to experience life with my offspring.”I stare at her, absorbing the weight of the Moon Goddess's words, my mind reeling with disbelief. Can you believe this?"I get your reason but I do t think you coming back would be the best decision. I mean, what would the others say?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, filled with a mixture of concern and trepidation. "You know the risks. The consequences. The ban on deities entering the mortal realm..."The Moon Goddess regards me with a serene expression, her eyes reflecting the wisdom of countless ages. "I understand your worry, Natalie," she says softly, her voice carrying a weight that seems to echo through the very air of the room. "But I am tired of hiding. Of paying for my mis

    DAMIEN“...her lover is - was Void.”“Damien,” Harvey calls my name, already showing signs of frustration. “You are really pushing this too far. What do you mean Void was the moon goddess’s liver? How?”“Look, I don't know. And I am not entirely motivated to know. I have told you what Natalie relayed to me, that is it,” I say.“Wait,” Steven interrupts. “If Void was her lover, doesn't that mean that your mate has blood ties - or whatever it is they have - with him?”“Yes. That is exactly what it means. Natalie has the power of two deities running through her veins.”“Wow,” Cain remarks. “You really hit the bag with your mate. How does it feel to have deities as parent in laws?” he asks with a smirk.“Not great,” I reply, and then turning to Harvey, I ask. “What plan do you have in mind to get into Void’s camp?”THANDRAL- WORLD OF THE DEITIES ONE OF THE OTHER WORLDS.NATALIE.I collapse into the lush mattress that feels like clouds.“I am best,” I groan into it.“Long day?” a tinkling

    DAMIEN.As we sit in the living room, our thoughts preoccupied with the issue before us, I can't help but have the stray thought that we will fail.That we are not united enoughThat I am not trusted enough.That I am not enough and that I am going to fail Natalie.“Damien,” Harvey’s voice cuts through the haze of doubt and as it reaches my ears.I look up at him in question and I see his calm green eyes focused on me.“Don't fret too much. We know the truth, all we have to do is find a way to bring it to light, and in all my years that I have lived, I know there is always a way.”“Hmm,” I hum as I send him a small but grateful smile.“So-”Cain is interrupted from whatever he wants to say by a sharp knock echoing through the room, bringing with it a semblance of normality.That despite the issues and trials and the impossibility that face us, life still goes on.Wow.I sound sentimental.That's what spending hours training side by side with Lucas will get you.Unfailing optimism.It'

    DAMIEN“Oh, come on!” The exclamation rings out from one of the pack members as he collapses to the floor thanks to the maneuver g of his spar partner.“You cheated!”“Did not! You are just slow?”“You-”“Enough.”The voice cuts through the clearing, causing us all to turn to face him.“Let's take ten.”As soon as Alaric signals for a break in the training, exhaustion washes over the pack members like a tidal wave. We collapse onto the grass, gasping for breath, our bodies trembling from the intensity of the workout. I wipe the sweat from my brow, feeling the burn of exertion in my muscles.“Thank the goddess,” I pant. “The man is a demon.”It is the third day of training and my muscles are screaming at me in protest.I thought I was good. That my training was up to par if not one of the best.Boy, was I wrong.Alaric has broken, crushed, and destroyed all of my previous acclaim with his own regiment of training.If I was a weaker, insecure man, I would have already called it quits.

With Natalie gone and communicating with Ha-”“Natalie is gone?” he asks, interrupting me. His ice blue eyes are even more startling with their intensity. “Gone where? When did she go? Was it because of Maya? What happ-”“Calm your titties. One question at a time,” I say, already out of breath from the onslaught of questions.“Okay. Okay. Where did she go?”“I don't know.”“What?! What do you mean you don't know?”“I mean I don't know the exact place she is. All I know is that she went to the word of deities,” I tell him.“Oh, I see.

    DAMIENPOW!SMACK!The sounds of sparring echo in one of the training rooms as I land another hit on Lucas.Harvey had left not too long after our conclusions to convince the other Alphas -which is a huge load off for me. The idea of brown nosing people is still unappealing to me, regardless of the reason.In the well lit training room, the air hangs heavy with anticipation as Lucas and I continue our face off. The space is expansive, with high ceilings that seem to stretch into darkness above us. The walls are lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, reflecting our every move as we circle each other. The polished wood floor beneath our feet is worn smooth from countless hours of training, marked with scuff marks and scratches that tell the stories of past sparring matches.In one corner of the room, a small alcove holds a rack of training equipment—padded gloves, punching bags, and agility cones—all waiting to be used in the pack’s quest for improvement.
