022 - A Beta's Fate, An Alpha's Destiny

DOMINIC.

I took Sofia to her room and we stayed there until she fell asleep, sobbing in my arms. Darvin's revelation hit her hard.

She was inconsolable. Darvin had been the father figure she looked up to since her father's death when she was eleven. And she couldn't accept that she might only be left with limited time with him. She kept asking why, of all people, it had to be Darvin. She kept telling me how Darvin didn't deserve this, how he was the perfect brother and it was unfair if our pups would never even get to meet him. She didn't want to believe the Goddess could be this cruel.

And I was just loss for words. I knew no matter what I told her, it would not help lessen the pain. So I just held her and promised her I would be with her every step of the way. We would do our best to find a cure.

I was not familiar with acresia. I had only heard things about it, so I was not sure where to start, but I would not let Sofia carry this burden alone.

I tucked her safely under the blank

I apologize for the late update, lovelies! I had a very long day today, so I went to bed earlier last night and didn't finish this one. If I can still do one more, I will upload it even if it's late, but if not, then the next one will be tomorrow! Thank you for waiting and reading! I think one more chapter and after that, we will see Celeste!  :D Thank you for all the comments, reviews, and GEMS! Please don't get tired of throwing them here! ♡

Awwww. Look at Riley being all grown up and mature. I think I'm gonna cry. It's touching to see his support and love for both Dominic and Darvin. ...

Yes please! Or even if he loses Titan, that he marks her before hand and the mate bond allows him to live as human without Titan so he doesn’t die as well ...

    DOMINIC.I spent the whole evening with Alpha Riley and Alpha Darvin, discussing the possibility of me taking over as the pack Alpha for the Moon Stone Pack. Although I didn’t want to decline the honor, I knew that I wanted Sofia to accept it as well. I would never step in as an Alpha with an unwilling Luna. And Darvin, I understood. Everything felt surreal. I was still on a high with having Sofia as my girlfriend, then the news of Darvin’s sickness plus the offer of taking over as the pack Alpha was too overwhelming. My emotions were all over the place, but it was the least of my worries. I was more concerned about Sofia.I had no idea how many times I checked on her the whole night, but she was still sleeping every time. When the day finally ended, Alpha Riley went home while I stayed behind. I didn’t want to leave Sofia alone, because I knew she needed me more tonight than ever.After we called it a night, I headed upstairs, directly to Sofia’s room. I found her sitting on the co

    SOFIA. It was almost lunchtime and Dominic had not returned to the packhouse, so I called him, only for him to tell me he would miss lunch today. Something was off with his voice. He sounded upset, but he told me he was just tired and I understood. He had been going back and forth between this pack and the Silver Moon pack to perform his duties here and to transition his responsibilities there. I wished I could do more for him. So we have to carry out our plan for Darvin without him. But it was better because if he was upset or not in the mood, this one might not go as Katarina and I planned. Katarina arrived at the packhouse thirty minutes ago. We were already seated at the dining table and were just waiting for Darvin to join us. Beta Daniel and Gamma Hayden were not around, so it would be just the three of us. Katarina and I were busy chatting with each other when Darvin finally arrived. "What are you doing here?" He stopped in the entryway, with his forehead creased as h

    DARVIN. "Wear whatever you’re comfortable with. It’s you I want to take out, not the dress you’re in." Smooth move, but I meant that. She could be in a rug sack and she would still look perfect in my eyes. But then she didn’t say anything, and I felt stupid again. Why the fuck did school never teach us how to formally pursue a female? I’m a fucking Alpha, but I’m too fucking lame with my words. I was still thinking of ways to get back from that when she finally spoke. "Are you sure? I don’t want to look underdressed when we’re together." She sounded unsure, and I was confused for a moment. "Why would you think of that? I’ll just wear simple clothes too. Unless you expect me to wear something fancy?" Oh, fuck this! I didn’t know that asking a female out would require so many things. Not that I was complaining, I just had no fucking idea what to say. "No. Not fancy, please. Just that... have you looked in the mirror? It’s like you can wear nothing and still be good-looking." T

    SOFIA. After Darvin left to meet up with Celeste, Alpha Lucas came and picked up Katarina so they could drive to the Silver Moon Pack territory. Nadia was still in labor and Alpha Riley was with her inside the delivery room, but Katarina wanted to be there to see her godchild once the pup was out. I waved at them and watched as their car disappeared from my view before I made my way to the training building. Dominic had been quiet for the whole day now, and it bothered me. He was not the one who never checked on me from time to time, but today, he had only done it a few times. Something was definitely wrong, and I didn’t think I could wait until the day was over before I could find out why. The warriors around the training ground bowed their heads at me as I walked by. They knew by now that I would be their future Luna, and although I knew they had their doubts about me, I kept my head up high. Dominic and I would have a difficult start as the new alpha and luna of this pack, knowi

    CELESTE.I’m freaking out!Darvin would be arriving in less than an hour, and I was not done fixing myself. Instead, I spent hours preparing dinner for us. We were supposed to eat out, but for some reason, I wanted him all to myself tonight. I didn’t want any other woman to check him out, so I opted for a home-cooked meal, and now I want to regret it.What if the food was something he didn’t like? What if he wanted al fresco dining? And what if my apartment was too small for his tall frame?Oh, God! I would certainly mess up, and he might not want to see me again.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. The table looked good. It looked appetizing. I just needed to look good as well, but I didn’t have much time left.If my gut tells me later that we should eat out, then we will. The last thing I wanted was to look like a loser in front of this perfect-looking man. It had been months since I met Darvin through Riley and Nadia, and for months he had been running in my mind.

    CELESTE. The dinner was perfect. If he didn’t like the food, he never showed it. I think he even ate too many, which made me happy. We actually didn’t talk too much, just the regular conversation about where I work and how many siblings I have, and I was fine with it. Most of the time, we were just silent, but the silence was comfortable with him. I saw him looking at me too many times. Especially on my lips. Maybe if I didn’t like him, I would have found it creepy, but in reality, it gave me tingles down there. I wondered if he wanted to kiss me as much as I did. He wouldn’t ask to meet me if he was not interested in me, right? The only thing I had to do now was to keep his interest. I placed the table napkin down before I glanced up at him and found him looking at me already. I opened my mouth to speak only to close it. The words got stuck in my throat. Darvin dropped his gaze. "I’m sorry, I keep staring. I just can’t believe you’re sitting in front of me." My heart fluttere

    DARVIN. I went here with no expectations. I just wanted to see her, and if she ever pushed me away, I would finally accept that we were not meant to be together. But everything that happened tonight was the exact opposite — she let me touch her, and she let me kiss her. The sparks that her touch gave me were beyond what I imagined they would be. Katarina was right — you would never know how strong the bond was until you felt the connection they could give between mates. And I wish Celeste could feel it too. But then, everything went downhill fast the moment the word 'monster' came out of her mouth. I was never a sensitive person, but hearing it from her pushed my self-esteem downward. Of course, to ordinary humans, we would look like monsters. And I didn't want her to see me that way. So I chose the coward's way out — walking away. I was already near the front door when she stopped me. "I know what you are, Darvin. And I never thought, even for a second, that you were a monster."

    CELESTE."Darvin… You’re not going to walk away and ask me to forget you, right?" I murmured against the skin of his neck while my arms were clinging to him.I didn’t want him to go. Everything he told me was overwhelming. I didn’t know I could feel happy and yet broken at the same time.But I didn’t want to dwell on the bad part. I just wanted him to want me enough for him to stay.His arms around my body tightened as he pressed a kiss on the crown of my head. "I’m giving you a chance to walk away, Celeste… and when you do, I will accept it, and I will never bother you again."His words came out low, but I could hear the pain in them. I withdrew from hugging him and shook my head. "I’m not walking away. And you’re not either. Even if that means tying you up on a chair so you can’t leave!" I knew I was exaggerating, but he needed to know how much I wanted him.A smile tugged on his lips, and I got mesmerized again. Darvin was really good-looking. How on earth was I chosen to be fat

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   AUTHOR'S NOTE

    Lovelies, Thank you for reading this story and for the patience you have shown me as I navigate toward the end. This story was more difficult to write than the rest because I changed so much in this short novel. Someone asked me before if I had changed any of my storylines, and I said no, but it was a lie as I didn't want to give anything away. The truth is, Darvin's story was supposed to end in Aeon's book, and it would pave the way for Beta Dominic's fate. It was the reason I didn't give him too much exposure in Riley's book. But just one POV and everyone shifted from hating him (for putting his sisters to the Claiming) into loving him. And I just knew after reading the love he was receiving that I didn't have the heart to break your hearts again the same way I did with Riley's. So I took on the challenge of rewriting Dominic's plot, and from time to time, I kept changing my mind about where it should go. But after four months, finally we are here, and I couldn't be more thank

    DARVIN.Everyone around me applauded as we watched the end of the third fireworks display for the night, also signaling the end of the party.We were celebrating my 40th birthday, and although I told my mate not to make a big deal out of it, I knew this would still happen when you have Celeste as a mate, and Katarina and Sofia as sisters, with their mates who tolerated their obsession to celebrate every milestone of my life.But I was getting used to it, and it made me grateful that after all these years, despite having our own families, the bond I had with my siblings and their mates just kept getting stronger. "Happy birthday again, Darvs!" Kallan came and gave me a big hug before the rest of the Alpha Circle came and greeted me again.We were older now, and despite the many responsibilities on our shoulders, the pack, and our pups growing up, the years had only made us better and our brotherhood more solid."Thank you." I smiled and hugged all of them back before all our gazes fel

  • UNDER THE MOONLIGHT   Epilogue: DOMINIC and SOFIA

    FOUR YEARS AFTER LUCAS AND KATARINA’S EPILOGUE SOFIA. My gaze roamed around the ballroom as Darvin’s 40th birthday was still in full swing. Every important person in his and Celeste’s lives was here. Almost twenty years ago, no one would have thought he would reach this age, so we opted for a big celebration. Although he didn’t want to, he had no choice when there were three females around him, who kept celebrating every year that was given to him. Glenn had confirmed that he no longer had acresia a long time ago, but Celeste, Katarina, and I — we will never forget the ordeal of nearly losing him. So we celebrate year after year, thanking the Goddess for the extended lives she gave Darvin and Celeste. Strong arms wrapped around my waist before my body was pulled back onto a strong torso. Dominic’s scent enveloped me all at once as sparks traveled all over my body. Dominic, even at 37, could still make my knees weak with just one touch, just as he could at 23. The 14 years just

    10 Years After The Union and Luna Ceremony (Midnight Pack)KATARINA.I pecked Jillian, my five-year-old daughter, on the forehead before I placed her down on the floor beside six-year-old Abegail, and they began building blocks from the overwhelming amount of duplos and legos around them before my eyes searched for Ledger and Patrick.I found them at the far end of the pups’ playroom, discussing in a hushed voice as if they were discussing tactics for a great war.I smiled before bending again and this time placing a soft kiss on Abegail’s head before I whispered to her. "I’ll be just downstairs, call on me if you and Jillian need anything.""Yes, Mama K." She answered sweetly before she put her attention back on playing with my daughter.Patrick and Abegail were Paul and Alba’s pups. They were the Betas of the Blue Meadows Pack and had been a wonderful presence in our lives.Ledger and Patrick became good friends and were so inseparable that when Alba told me she and Paul would go aw

    TWO WEEKS AFTER. SOFIA. Another beautiful day. The sun beamed its beautiful rays on my skin as I spread out my arms and tilted my head up to bask in them, letting its warmth and sunshine heal and refresh my soul. I was in the middle of the fields of wildflowers in the meadow at the Silver Moon Pack — the same place Dominic took me nine years ago when I first visited Alpha Riley's territory. We took the pups, Cassidy and Walker, for a play date with Riley and Nadia’s twins, Ara and Nika, and Dawson and Ellie’s twins, Drake and Dustin. Once the kids were settled and being watched over, we decided to sneak and head out here. Life had been nothing but beautiful for me. Two weeks had gone by since that fateful day when we all thought we were losing both Darvin and Celeste. But we triumphed. I underestimated the power of love and friendship, and the ways they could conquer even the toughest mountain. Celeste was given a gift from the Goddess that none of us had encountered in our

    CELESTE. Ever since I woke up, I couldn’t help my pussy from throbbing even at Darvin’s simplest touch. I guess Thea was longing for Titan for a long time, and now I could feel it in my body. The moment the door closed, Darvin’s arms wrapped around me as he pulled me closer to him, my back resting on his chest. He began nuzzling my neck, inhaling deeply before he spoke. "You smell so fucking good, Celeste. Like you’re carrying a more sensual smell today." I ignored his words and went straight to the point. "Will you fuck me tonight, Darvin?" "Are you sure your body is already up for it?" "I have Thea within me. I want to share this moment with her, let her take over at some point if you let Titan out." Darvin bit my neck playfully, making me giggle because it tickled me. "Titan was just suggesting that maybe one day we can let him and Thea take over our human forms. He was gentlemanly, or should I say gentlewolf, enough to wait, but we underestimate how lusty our females are." I

    CELESTE. My eyes snapped open and the blinding lights were gone, replaced by the spotlights hovering over my bed. My body felt heavy at the moment as someone was holding me tightly against his arms. Darvin. My Darvin. The calming scents of pine wood and a citrusy blend of bergamot were swirling around my nose. It was making my mouth salivate, the same way the sparks erupting everywhere in my body were making my pussy wet. This was too overwhelming. ‘Darvin…’ I tried with my mind instead of my mouth because my throat felt too dry. ‘Celeste?’ My body felt warm when I heard his voice, as everything was just sinking in now. Thea wasn’t lying — I could connect with my mate. Darvin’s body above me jolted in surprise before he pulled away and stared at me as if he had seen a ghost. Thea made her presence known by making my eyes dilate into full black, which made Darvin’s mouth drop open until his breathing hitched. Soon, his hands cupped my cheeks as he crushed his lips against m
