“My head... it hurts.”The burning sensation was right in the middle of my forehead. It was so hot that I bent down on the floor with both hands holding my forehead. I groaned until my throat hurt and I lost the ability to scream anymore. I sensed Pollux’s hand assisting me in moving to the bed.My whole body was drenched in sweat. I squinted my eyes because the light in Castor’s room was too dazzling. I had the urge to break the lamp because it caused discomfort in my eyes.I was startled by the sound of something breaking above my head. Pollux shielded my body with his so that the shards wouldn’t hurt me. I was only thinking of smashing the lamp, but instead it had already shattered on its own.“Are you okay?” Pollux asked by touching my head.“No. I feel really hot. What’s wrong with me, Alpha?”“I’ll call Cian. Take it easy. Hold on to me if you can’t take it.”“How is Godiva? Why is the light off?”Castor’s voice suddenly rang in my ears. With the moonlight streaming through the
Pollux PoV.“I thought I had lost you, Godiva.”I immediately embraced Godiva’s body tightly. She opened her eyes after a week of unconsciousness. Castor and I were so worried about our mate.I had such a bad thought that I would lose my mate again. All day and all night, for a whole week, I looked after Godiva until Castor had to depart to continue managing the Melucci family business in the human world. He was very understanding of my caring so much for Godiva and entrusted Godiva to my care.After we learned the truth about Godiva, We both tightened security at Burze. The arrival of the Sanguine Shadows vampires disturbed me after Godiva’s transition.“Where is Alpha Castor?” Godiva’s voice sounded weak.“He is looking after our business in Wirie.” If there is anything you need, let me know.”“I want a drink.”I got Godiva a glass of water. I poured three glasses of water for Godiva, who still appeared pale. She gave me the last empty glass, and I put it back on the nightstand.I h
Pollux PoV.“Holy Moon Goddess! What was that?”I got up from the bed and made a small run to the toilet. Washing my face with cold water, I let as much water run down my face as possible to achieve freshness. I leaned on the edge of the sink to stare straight into the mirror.My eye bags were blackened like zombies and I wanted to poke them out because this looked bad for my appearance. I sighed roughly and picked up a small towel to wipe my face. When I noticed the clock on the wall, it turned out that I had only been asleep for an hour.“Damn it!”I kept thinking about Godiva, even though I was already lying back on the bed. What could distract me from her? I felt every beat of her heart, pounding.I felt every beat of her heart, pounding. She had turned my world upside down.I knew that she had gone more gentle with me. We were already talking to each other without arguing. She also responds to any touch I give her.Perhaps I should think of Godiva and fantasize about making love t
Castor PoV.“I’d like to meet Caylee Simpson.”I saw a woman with straw-blonde hair and enormous eyes standing in front of me. Her eyes looked up at me, then she moved down to the toe of my shoe. One hand clutched a cigarette, and she puffed the smoke into the air.“Caylee is me. Is there anything you need from me, sir?”“I am Pollux Melucci, husband of your niece Godiva Fletcher.”Instantaneously, his facial expression changed. Earlier, I saw she made a sour face to greet me, but after I introduced myself, this woman widened her eyes. She smoothed her hair and her shabby-looking clothes. She extended her hand to shake mine.I ignored her greeting. I was too lazy to meet her aunt after I noticed her dealing with Godiva. If Godiva had not told me not to hurt them, I might have burned down their house and left them living on the streets.I utilized her cousin and a trial serum with stimulant properties to teach her a lesson. I thought that was enough to prove that he was just useless hu
Castor PoV.[Fuck her, Castor!]I greedily kissed Godiva’s lips, just as my inner wolf Blake had predicted. It was so soft that I pressed demandingly. There is not a single part of her body I will leave to chance.My hands stripped off the clothes clinging to her body. Taking too long, I ruged off the cloth wrapped around her breasts. Every moan that emerged from her mouth made me even more lustful.I would love to stop time so that I can always have these moments. Her scent is so seductive that it tempted my sense of smell to sniff her neck. I wetted his neck with my saliva and kissed it until it left a reddish trail.“Alpha Castor, I don’t want this to end,” Godiva said with a half-sigh.“I will give the rest of my life only to you, Luna.”[I feel her wolf, Castor. No way!]Blake’s voice sounded broken. I only focused on Godiva and did not hear his last word. Right now, I just wanted to enter her and seed her so that she would conceive puppies.I returned to playing with my fingers
Pollux PoV. “Give Godiva a company tour.” I cleared my throat briefly in response to Castor’s words. My agenda today was to visit the company just to receive a report on the company’s progress. Castor’s idea seemed good for bringing her to the company. I watched Castor as he walked away from the gym. He had mentioned the follow-up meeting of the Alphas about Death Sanguine. Castor would definitely raise the issue of the events at the wedding yesterday. I turned to head to my room. Walking up the stairs, I spotted Omega Trisha on the highest step. I was going to deliver a message to Godiva through this omega. “Trisha.” I called out to her with my alpha intonation. “Yes, Alpha Pollux.” She turned to face me and bowed. “Tell Luna Godiva to meet me in the room and also prepare breakfast for us immediately. She doesn’t need to clean herself first because I’m waiting for her.” “Yes, Alpha Pollux. I will relay your message.” I continued my steps to the room and approached the
Godiva PoV.“I don’t like being ignored.”I was confused. Should I separate them? I saw Pollux was barely breathing, and all I could do was stare at both of them in confusion.The twins’ mother smirked as she lowered her hand from Pollux’s neck. I let out a sigh of relief that the family drama was finally over. I helped Pollux seat himself in one chair.“I’ll get you some water; wait here!”I walked over to one of the female employees’ desks, where they were watching the mother-son scene. I asked for directions to the pantry to get some water. She offered to get us some water.I agreed and went straight back to Pollux. I saw the fingernail wound on Pollux’s neck was gradually closing. It was the first time I’d seen a wound close miraculously that fast.It wasn’t long before the employee provided us with three bottles of mineral water. My gaze shifted to the twins’ mother. She was standing in front of Pollux with her arms folded across her chest. Her brow was furrowed, as if she were d
Castor PoV.“Do you have something to say, Elder Raiden?”I dropped my gaze to the man with a white beard and shoulder-length hair. His aura as the leader of the Moonstone Elders made the atmosphere instantly quiet as he stood in the round room. All pairs of eyes were on him.As the oldest elder in our pack, his advice and criticism were always constructive. Although his speech was a bit sharp and callous, he managed to guide Dad and us to keep Moonstone on track.The meeting I held today followed a meeting held earlier with several alphas from the ten packs outside Burze. The results of the meeting decision, which resulted in 3 votes in favor of me making the warrior alliance, became the topic I raised this afternoon.“The Five Elders will approve the warrior alliance as long as the votes reach two-thirds of the packs around Burze.”“I want you to consider the fact that we had a wedding yesterday,” I added.“Things were under control, Alpha Castor. They came in peace, and you accepte
One Year Later…Pollux POV.“Keep quiet, or I’ll scratch your butt.”Declan grumbled beside me as we made our way through the damp, moldy corridor. It was ironic; just an hour ago, he was practically begging to join me on this mission. Now, he was whining like a cockroach begging to be squashed. I extended my claws and waved them in front of his face just to mess with him.“I’m not scared of you, Melucci,” Declan said, sticking his chin out defiantly and leaning closer.“Oh, so you’ve grown some courage now?” I smirked.“I’m a snitch. Got a problem with that?”I could’ve snapped back, but I was a man of my word. Godiva, my mate, had made me promise not to cause trouble with Declan before we set out. This vampire-hunting lunatic, with his unique immunity to vampire venom, was a valuable asset to the Moonstone pack. I had to tolerate him, no matter how tempting it was to claw his smug face.Six months ago, Castor and I stumbled across Declan in the Chiri Forest near my mother-in-law’s t
Godiva PoV.“Go to hell, bitch!”I hurled Kayleigh’s head into the roaring flames. Satisfaction coursed through me after I tore her apart five minutes ago. I had deliberately kept her alive to deal with her personally. Knowing she was the reason Castor was injured, I wouldn’t let her go, not even if it meant facing her again in the afterlife.The Moonstone warriors and our allies gathered around the mountain of vampire corpses. As dawn peeked over the horizon, their bodies turned to ash, carried away by the wind.The howls of wolves echoed through the air, announcing our victory. Yet, despite our triumph, I was still unsettled by the fact that some vampires had escaped, including Virgil. It wasn’t impossible they’d return one day to seek revenge for their crushing defeat.“Alvise sent word that the twins are fine, but they keep asking for their mother,” Castor said beside me as Pollux and I supported him down the cliff.“They didn’t ask about their father. I’m offended,” Pollux clicke
Pollux PoV.I heard a loud thud. When I opened my eyes, I saw Castor clawing at the face of one of the pale-blonde men. The man was sprawled on the ground, with Castor’s wolf form pinning his legs and arms.I saw bloodied fangs in Castor’s mouth. In less than a minute, Castor severed the man’s neck with his bites. He threw the man’s head to the ground right in front of me.[Watch out!]Before I could turn to see what was happening, Castor leaped at a woman clad in a tight black leather outfit with flowing straw-blonde hair. Castor’s fight with her gave me just enough time to stand.[Find Godiva! I can sense her presence.] Castor yelled at me.With all my strength, I forced my legs to move. Castor bit the calf of the woman who was trying to approach me. I had to find Godiva, but everything felt blurry, and I couldn’t pinpoint her whereabouts. I heard Castor commanding me to run.Was Godiva still alive?I ran as fast as I could. Occasionally, I looked back to check on Castor. I saw him
Godiva PoV.“Where am I?”As far as my eyes could see, there was only an endless ocean below. From where I sat, the horizon was painted with hues of orange, contrasting against the darkening sky. The sound of seagulls above accompanied my curious gaze as I took in my surroundings.“Twilight evenings are truly beautiful.”Turning my head, I saw a man with tan skin and shoulder-length brown hair. His slightly graying beard hinted at his age, and his deep voice carried the weight of experience.Life?The thought triggered a memory. The last thing I remembered was Castor Melucci cradling my body in his strong arms, tears brimming in the Alpha’s eyes.“Am I dead?” I finally broke my silence, my voice trembling.“Yes and no.”“What do you mean?”“It depends entirely on you. My wife always spoke in riddles, and I suspect she has done the same to you.”Hearing his words, I tilted my head in confusion, my brows furrowing. 'How does he know my mother?'“You must be full of questions, aren’t yo
Pollux PoV.I saw Godiva standing silently, her gaze unreadable as she faced us. Her body radiated a power I had never seen before, amplified by her Luna’s Tone. It made her immovable, untouchable.As Alpha, I was utterly paralyzed, trapped by an invisible force emanating from her. She glanced at me briefly, her expression an unspoken warning: ‘don’t interfere’. I knew how stubborn she could be, but this time, I wanted to break through that resolve.I wanted to fight by her side, to tear apart that blonde vampire flaunting his petty betrayal like it was some grand tragedy. I struggled against the invisible bonds, but it was useless. If I could’ve moved, I would’ve snapped the neck of her so-called former cousin without hesitation. A vampire now, his smug grin only fueled my rage.Even as a human, he was a nuisance. Now, as one of the undead, his presence was unbearable. I had already begged Godiva to ease the effects of her Luna’s Tone on me, but she refused. She insisted this was her
“Do it quickly, I can still hold them off!”Pollux had fully shifted into his wolf form as the vampire lunged at him from the front. His fangs and claws dug into the vampire’s shoulders, fighting with a ferocity that made me want to assist him immediately. But my hands needed to stay where they were, palms open, channeling energy to destroy the blood crystal floating before me.The sounds of battle around me were a constant distraction. The snarls, the clash of teeth against teeth, and the howls of wolves reverberated through the air. My fists clenched tightly, my jaw locked. But then, a commanding voice rang through the mind link, cutting through my turmoil. It was Alpha Castor’s order.“Focus, Luna Godiva. That’s the only way.”I nodded silently, regaining my concentration. With a measured breath, I extended my hands further. The blood crystal in front of me quivered, almost as if resisting the power I was pouring into it.“With the power of the Moon Goddess, I, Luna Godiva, call up
“What the hell?!”I woke up on a stone floor, and my eyes widened in disbelief as I took in the surrounding view. A vast expanse of grass stretched endlessly, under a blue sky dotted with white clouds. Instinctively, I rubbed my eyes, trying to clear my vision.Pollux woke up next, swearing even more colorfully than I had. He jumped to his feet on the stone slab where we had slept, ruffling his hair in frustration. He growled as he scrambled to gather his scattered clothes.“Do gods always play tricks on their creations? I only complained to you, Godiva, because she’s your mother. Who else am I supposed to complain to? I hate being dirty like this!”“Be quiet. What if my mother hears you?”“Let her hear me. She should know that werewolves don’t always have to…”Before Pollux could finish his sentence, the stone beneath us trembled. Cracks spread rapidly in the direction of where he stood. I leapt away just in time as the vibrations stopped. It seemed like a warning from my mother, rea
“This is my destiny.” For a few minutes, we sat in silence. My mind wandered to the battlefield between werewolves and vampires. All the howling, the breaking of bones, and the tearing of claws spun like a fantasy movie I had once seen, where the vampires ultimately lost.Could that ever happen? Even though it was my wish now, sacrificing my own life made my heart sink. Questioning my destiny, my mother felt immature. I wanted to prove myself worthy of being her daughter. Pollux turned to face me, his hand reaching out as if to touch me, but he stopped, keeping the distance between us. “I know what you’re thinking, sweet pea. But it might not be you. We don’t know the full story yet, do we? Look at the carvings; the images are fading.” I also noticed the carving of the silver wolf was incomplete. All I could see was a speck of bright red, like a flame. I rubbed it with my finger, but it revealed nothing. My thoughts remained clouded, the carving only intensifying my unease. Final
Godiva POV“Who are you?”With one hand resting on the stone floor, I crouched, keeping my head raised to focus on the silver flame in front of me. Through the faint light, I discerned a solid figure within the flame, a faint outline I could penetrate with my vision.“Mother.”Gradually, the silver flame dimmed, revealing the figure of a woman with long silver hair that matched my own. I immediately bowed deeply, awaiting her response. The sound of movement came from behind me, followed by Pollux, who also bowed beside me.“Vigilance is vital for wolves. That’s why I endowed you with senses a hundred times sharper than those of any other shapeshifters in this world.”“Greetings, Moon Goddess. Forgive me, Mother. It won’t happen again.”“Hello, Mom, Mother-in-law, Selene.” Pollux glanced at me but maintained his bowed posture. “How should I address her, Luna Godiva?”I was equally perplexed and merely shook my head. This was their first meeting, and I had no guidance for Pollux on how
