"What do you care? That’s none of your business. I'm no longer a member of your pack. I don't want to hear your nonsense. Never talk to me again!"
My steps halted as I heard the voice of a woman I loved not far from where I stood.
And after passing by a pillar of this auditorium building, I could see that the figure confronting her was Alpha Magnus!
"But, Sabrina, just listen ..." denied Magnus which was immediately cut off by Sabrina, “In my whole life, I always listen to you. I believe my duty has ended!”
My chest throbbed painfully hearing Sabrina's words with her trembling voice.
Unconsciously, my legs took a step forward, but I could then regain control of myself by thinking, “If I intervene now, wouldn't I appear selfish and as if I want to control Sabrina? Ah, I better let them settle their past first."
"I wish I had the ability to turn back time, Sabrina. I don't know what else I can prove to you that I still love you," Magnus pleaded.
I gripped the edge of a plate of t***s containing several cubes of cheese, cured chorizo, and a few olives, as I stood frozen behind the pillar. Some of the t***s almost slipped from the plate's surface as I trembled, trying to contain my turbulent emotions. How could I not, as I couldn't bear to listen to the arguments between the woman I loved, and the man from her past?
"Oh Moon Goddess, thank you for never bestowing the superpower to turn back time on anyone, even the descendant of an Alpha. This way, every person can continue to move forward with their lives. So should I, and so should you," Sabrina asserted firmly.
My blood surged as I listened to Sabrina. I was amazed by her. I believed in how much pain she must feel from the Alpha's misbehaviour, who should have been her husband. However, I never expected that she could face Magnus with such resilience.
I became confident that it’s time for me to approach them.
”Hey, what’s up, guys? Good evening, our beloved groom tonight. Congratulations on your wedding, Magnus!”
I quickly shook hands with the Alpha of Black Fur Pack, who greeted me with a surprised expression, and then he smiled faintly.
"Thank you," replied Magnus briefly.
"Oh, by the way, look at Tania standing there all alone! Shouldn't you go back to accompany her?" I suggested, subtly hinting at his departure.
After saying that, I grabbed Sabrina's waist, so she stand closer to my side. I saw Magnus briefly widen his eyes reacted to what I just did. Then, he looked to another direction while clearing his throat uncomfortably.
Magnus's face turned crimson as he spoke with an awkward grin, “Maybe, you're right. Okay, thank you for coming and chatting with me. Allow me to return to the midst of the party. See you!"
"Please, and goodbye," I replied, bowing my head and smiling at him.
A few seconds later, Sabrina and I just stared at Magnus's back until he disappeared into the midst of the party crowd.
I heard Sabrina exhale as if relieved after the recent tension. I glanced at her face. My heart clenched.
There was a teardrop in the corner of her eye. As she caught me staring, Sabrina turned her face to the other side of her body, seemingly wiping her tears away discreetly.
Damn, that Alpha of the Black Fur pack! How dare he make a woman as beautiful as her hurt and cry.
If it weren't for my respect for Sabrina, I would have disrupted this party to avenge my beloved's pain.
Suddenly, someone touched my left shoulder. "Do you still want to be at this party?" Sabrina asked with her soft voice.
I turned and looked at her beautiful face; she seemed much better. I was sure she could also feel what I felt. My chest warming as I smiled at her. I felt complete and fine if she was fine too.
My head automatically shook, then I said, "Come on, let's just leave!"
Sabrina agreed, and I took her hand, intertwining it with my arm. The two of us walked out of the building.
However, not far from the exit, Sabrina stopped in her tracks.
The beautiful woman's forehead furrowed, then she asked, "Don't you need to gather or bid farewell to the Alphas from our pack alliance?"
Right, I hadn't thought about that. If I were with Sabrina, I feel like there's nothing else to think about besides her, even my own interests seem less important.
"Oh, yes, you're right, Honey. But, if we look inside the wedding venue, they seem to be busy enjoying tonight's celebration, so they won't even notice my presence. We can just take a walk and enjoy the fresh air, then later I'll return to the guest house where the Alphas gather after the party," I explained, adding an excuse to continue being with my beloved only.
Sabrina laughed briefly while tightening her grip and resting her head on my shoulder. "In that case, let me take you to see my favourite places!" she invited with a big beautiful smile.
We both knew that we would do anything to enjoy time alone together. And I enthusiastically replied, "Let's go!"
"Look at that place!" Sabrina pointed to a pavilion situated on a higher ground than its surroundings.
Before I could say anything, the brunette-haired girl already pulled me by the hand to run towards the pavilion.
Once we reached there, her face lit up with a grin as she caught her breath, saying, "Phew, forgive me, I dragged you into a little run."
"No, I should be the one apologizing to you for forgetting to remind you to take off your high heels before running here. Are your ankles okay?" I responded, expressing concern.
Sabrina just shook her head while smiling, then disregarded her own condition as if impatiently let me know about this place. She said, "Look around this place! You'll understand why it's my favourite!"
I complied and looked around, then amazed at how beautiful this place was. The soft moonlight reflected on the surface of the river below, yet looked beautifully sparkling.
"The river...?" I asked, immediately answered by Sabrina, "Yes, that's the river where all the members of the Black Fur pack mine gold. You can't imagine how valuable that water flow is."
I nodded in understanding.
"Then, at the end there is my cottage. I was born and raised there. You can see the garden around it, which is my mother's legacy," Sabrina continued her explanation.
I followed where Sabrina pointed. Then, she lowered her finger and faced me before I could ask about other places.
It felt like I already knew the answer and didn't need to discuss it further with Sabrina. In the opposite direction from her house, a luxurious mansion stood on a hill, which I could already guess was the residence of the Black Fur’s Alpha.
I can understand why this was her favorite place, as she could see other places that were also her favorites. Including the house of her ex-boyfriend, that damn Magnus.
As if she could read my mind - or maybe she really could read it because we are bound as Fate Mate - Sabrina held both of my hands and said, "This place has always been my precious place, and I hope it will be your precious place too."
How could I tarnish those sincere words with my childish jealousy about her past?
Without further thought, I planted a kiss on her lush, parted lips.
Sabrina was momentarily surprised, but then she responded to my kiss while still holding both of my hands.
Our heartbeats echoed like fireworks exploding behind our heads. This feeling was so beautiful, and I wanted to cherish it forever.
I pulled away from the kiss gently while looking into her shining brown eyes bathed in moonlight. Beautiful, she was the most beautiful thing that came into my life.
"But should I tell her my secret?" my thoughts suddenly disturbed me.
"Luna, there's a big problem! Please help us in the Housepack!"I was startled to hear a woman's shout from the courtyard. Who in broad daylight would disturb my peaceful rest?"Luna, can you come with me now?" the voice shouted again when I finally appeared before her."What's wrong?" I asked in a haughty manner. I was Luna now. After all, there was a certain dignity I had to maintain."There was a landslide in the eastern region that caused great damage. The landslide victim refugees have filled the Housepack and we're having trouble accommodating them," the woman replied explaining the situation.I recognized that woman. She was one of the renowned healers. Back then, before I became Luna, my mother and I used to help her at the healing center."Alright, I'll be there right now," I replied, still with a haughty attitude.I then signaled the omegas who were now serving me every day to follow me to Housepack.Arriving there, I was surprised to see so many shabby-looking people fillin
"Thank goodness, Alpha, we have successfully evacuated the victims who could be saved."I heard a shout from one of my subordinates about the success of our evacuation operation."Alright, please provide a proper burial for the deceased victims!" I commanded. After giving that order, I bid farewell to all members of the Black Fur warrior pack and headed home.I felt really tired when I got home. It had been a long day, dealing with pack problems, sorting out arguments, and helping with the aftermath of the landslide.As I stepped into the house, I saw Tania bustling about, a forced enthusiasm on her face.She smiled at me and said, "Magnus, you won't believe how my day went!"I didn’t really pay attention of what she said, thinking about a lot of responsibilities on my plate.Tania kept talking, not discouraged by my lack of excitement. "I organized the relief efforts for the victims of the landslide. Coordinated with the healers, distributed supplies, and ensured everything ran smoot
“If only I could live longer …,” I thought.I walked through the dense forest, the weight of the curse lingering heavily on my shoulders.I had decided to seek the guidance of the pack’s shaman, desperate for a solution to the affliction that haunted me.The shaman's residence appeared ahead, a small hut nestled amidst ancient trees. The air felt heavy with mystic energies as I approached, a mix of hope and anxiety churning within me. I knocked on the wooden door, which creaked open slowly."Ah, Alpha,” the shaman greeted with a knowing look. "I sensed your presence. Come in, my Precious Leader.”The interior of the hut was dimly lit by the flickering flame of a single candle. Various mystical artifacts adorned the shelves, attesting to the shaman's deep connection with the spiritual realm. I hesitated for a moment before entering, the gravity of my predicament weighing on me."I seek your guidance, wise one," I spoke, my voice filled with a mix of determination and desper
"I can't marry you because you'll suffer as my wife."Tyler's words just now took me by surprise. What did he mean? I looked straight into his eyeballs that still contained the reflection of my face.I could see the tinge of anxiety in that gaze. I never doubted for a moment that Tyler loved me. I was sure there was always a good intention in his every word."Are you going to explain to me what you meant by those words just now? Honestly, you scare me Tyler," I said as I took his hand to convince him to talk to me.Tyler sighed. He looked away for a moment before finally starting to explain what he meant."Sabrina, I am a cursed Alpha.""What do you mean Tyler?" I asked not understanding."Long ago, when I was a child, a witch cursed me to die at the age of 27," he replied."At first we didn't think the curse was real. But the same curse killed one of our werewolves and now we all believe in my curse," he continued.I gripped Tyler's hand tighter and tighter. I could hear the tremor i
"Awww, Garry. How sweet of you. I understand that you're just teasing me because you want to make me feel welcome here."I decided to handle the situation my way. This wasn't the first time I had met a guy like Garry. They like to joke around and compliment women just for the sake of politeness. "Uncle Felix and Aunt Ruth are lucky to have an understanding son like you," I said with a sweet smile.Suddenly Uncle Felix burst out laughing, shaking the dining table.I was surprised by Uncle Felix's reaction. Did he like my compliment, or did he think I was crossing the line by commenting on his son who had just come home?"Look Garry, she's no match for you," Uncle Felix said between laughs.I saw Garry just scowl and stare at me with an incredulous look. I suddenly felt like I had done something wrong.Fortunately, Aunt Ruth broke the ice and questioned Garry about his studies at the academy.But apparently the discussion made Garry even more upset because from the look on his face I
"I know they will be there. But I don't mind bump into them, since I'll be going with you."My smiled curves widely tho show Tyler my determination. The Blue Moon Festival arrived in all its splendor, with vibrant decorations adorning the pack's territory. I stood by Tyler's side, marveling at the festive atmosphere. My heart raced with excitement, knowing that this night would be special.As we entered the festival grounds, the lively music filled the air, and the vibrant lights illuminated the surroundings. Couples swirled on the dance floor, laughter echoed, and the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air.Tyler held my hand, guiding me through the party. "You look stunning, Sabrina," he said, his eyes filled with admiration."Thank you, Tyler. You're not so bad yourself," I replied with a playful grin.We joined the dancing crowd, swaying to the rhythm of the music. The joyous atmosphere enveloped us, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for being a part of this warm and
"WHAT A DAMN NIGHT!"I stormed away from the Blue Moon Festival’s venue, my mind clouded with frustration and anger. The rhythmic thump of my boots echoed through the night as I approached the edge of Tyler's territory. My senses heightened, I took in the scents and sounds, searching for any sign of weakness that could be exploited.As I moved through the shadows, a growl escaped my lips, “Arrrgh!”The memory of Tyler, dancing with Sabrina, fueled my rage. I couldn't fathom how Tyler had managed to win Sabrina's heart when I had lost it all. The festivity’s noise that surrounded me only intensified my bitterness.Spotting a group of Tyler's pack members conversing near the border, I couldn't resist the urge to provoke them. I stepped forward, my presence imposing and threatening. The chatter among the wolves ceased as they turned their attention to me, the Alpha of Black Fur Pack."Having fun in Silver Fang’s territory, Alpha Magnus?" one of them sneered, his eyes defiant.I scoffed.
“Why me? Why always me who has the misfortunes in life?”I felt the weight of the pack's expectations pressing down on me, especially after Magnus's explosive outburst. The encounter with Magnus had left me emotionally bruised, and found myself questioning the choices I had made.Feeling the need for guidance, I decided to seek counsel from Elder Darius once again. I made my way to his residence, the air heavy with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. The Elder welcomed me with a smile."Ah, Luna Tania, what brings you here again? Oh, you are crying?” Elder Darius inquired, sensing the turmoil within me.I took a deep breath before speaking, wiping my tears, "Elder Darius, Magnus's behavior towards me has been intolerable. I followed your order, I tried to be patient, but he continues to blame me for everything. I regret marrying him."The Elder listened attentively, his gaze steady. “Tania, you should be able to garner your husband's sympathy. It's not easy to make you a Luna, do you w
