The entire pack was seated at the breakfast table, including Levine, who appeared remote and avoided any engagement with me. I couldn't help but steal looks at him, hoping he'd return them, but he seemed completely unaware of my presence.Maya, sitting in front of the pack, declared that all had been settled, that all debts had been paid, and that there was no longer any reason for us to be delayed. It was now time for the unbreakable link ceremony to get the moon goddess' blessing. My heart skipped a beat; I had to figure out how to avoid this fate. How could I call the ceremony off now?"I didn't intend to delay the ceremony," Xavier continued, "but circumstances were beyond our control. The vampires damaged Sansa's hand, and the mansion was invaded by wild creatures, and then she got stuck in the trial.""No one blames you, Alpha Xavier," Maya answered, mockingly. "The moon goddess may take her time bestowing her blessing on the desRelated chapters

Chapter 47 My statement seemed to catch them off guard, and they exchanged curious glances before stopping to look at me. I quickly masked my anxiety, attributing my words to mere childhood rumors.Feigning composure, I continued, "I remember hearing such tales in my younger days, but I knew they were merely myths and legends." Fariya to an exciting discovery, rushed over to a cluster of the purplish herb, carefully plucking it and adding it to her basket with a sense of triumphant glee.Kris spoke calmly as we resumed our stroll, offering additional information about the fascinating herb, "Ah yes, that's called Rigurlic Thyme. It's famous for its fabled abilities, including the ability to resurrect the dead. I haven't seen but have heard."I couldn't resist but ask more questions, the forbidden information enticing me, "Tell me more about it."Kris said carefully. "With its miraculous power comes a terrible curse, the Rigurlic
Under the Moonlight: Alpha's Bride 2 Embers Of Uncertainty
Chapter 48 I prepared to attend the dreaded ceremony. Anxiety gnawed at my insides, and with each passing minute, the weight of looming chains tightened around me, tying me to a fate I badly desired to avoid.Xavier had meticulously selected a beautiful white bride maxi for the occasion. The clothing fit me nicely, a dramatic contrast to the internal turmoil. The servants had diligently prepared me for the ceremony, but their efforts had only added to my sense of helplessness.Amara, a devoted friend, observed the concern on my face and softly questioned, "You okay? You appear to be quite nervous."I clutched Amara's hand, longing for relief in her presence, as if she had the power to draw me away from the abyss into which I was slipping.My voice trembled as I tried to express myself, "I... I..." I paused, knowing I couldn't tell the truth in front of the female pack members. I quickly altered the subject, explaining, "It's just my firs

Chapter 49My father was beside her, much younger than I had ever seen him, clutching a sobbing baby in his arms. It was me as a baby. I was taken aback by the realization that I was watching my birth. Confusion and awe mingled within me as I stood back and viewed the event, feeling like an invisible observer in the past. This strange trip led me to a point in time that was crucial in my life.I couldn't figure out why I was here or what this voyage was for, but there was an irrefutable link to my past. I couldn't help but feel a tremendous feeling of amazement and an overpowering need to know the secrets this mysterious place held as I stood there, emotions swirling within me. With so many questions unanswered, I felt my journey had only just begun.My heart raced in my chest as I dashed over to them, and my breaths came in short spurts.

Chapter 50 Grandpa Falkor ignored my cries and directed his cronies to "bring me the big gun.""But Falkor," one of the hunters said, "we don't need that gun right now."Grandpa Falkor, his face solemn, urged, "I want it now."As tears flowed down my cheeks, I felt a surge of rage within me. "You don't care; you have no heart. You kicked me out of the house after murdering my father. You understood that having me around would serve as a constant reminder of your heinous crime. I'll track you down and make you pay."With determination in my heart, I moved away from them, my gaze scanning the chaotic scene for any trace of my father. But he seemed to evaporate, consumed by the tumult of war. My heartache was awful, yet I refused to give up. I was going to find him no matter what.I dashed back to the cave where I'd left my mother, but she wasn't there. "Mom?" I yelled, desperately searching for her amid the pandemonium of the ensu

Chapter 51Samuel shoved her away, unable to accept her new appearance, and yelled about being duped. But she remained firm, pressing him to find his love and wondering what was wrong with him."Where has your love gone? I said I wouldn't be sorry about my decision, but what's wrong with you?" She interrogated him.Samuel's rage rose as he accused her of attempting to win him over by burning herself. But my mum responded with real laughter that perplexed him and his men."'You already found a reason to get rid of me; how could you get rid of me like that? You set fire to yourself.' Who could burn themselves?" Her laughter echoed through the air as she inquired.Samuel approached her, still enraged, grabbing her neck tightly. "Our love story should be unique, did not you want our love story to be different from everyone?" she said calmly.As the argument raged on, I was torn between dread for my mother's safety and annoy
Under the Moonlight: Alpha's Bride 2 A Night Of Seduction
Chapter 52 As night fell over the mansion, I changed into a short, delicate nightgown, the fabric as soft as a caress against my skin. The chamber was barely lit by the moon's gentle glow, and I knew Xavier would soon enter, repeating the ritual act of assuring the pack members that he slept alongside me every night. I awaited his coming with fear and determination, unsure of the road I was about to take.A blanket of thought veiled his features as he entered the room. He sat on the bed, oblivious to my clothes, immersed in the maze of his thoughts. I moved to the other side of the bed, taking a seat in the hopes of engaging him in conversation."I never imagined the ceremony would be postponed again," I began, my voice a mixture of genuine surprise and concealed want. "The last time you pushed it back, it was because I wasn't prepared. But this time, I yearned for the wait," I admitted, my words filled with unspoken emotions.Xavier maintained his reserved demeanor, his eyes a distan

Chapter 53 Amara, sensing my concern, said, "Have you two fought? Or is he dating someone else?""Xavier is an enigma, you know that," I joked, ignoring her concerns. "Nothing is happening between us. We're in love, but I'm not sure why he contacted you to change my dress. You should ask him personally if you want answers."Amara appeared serious, evidently debating her feelings about our relationship. Meanwhile, I kept my cool, knowing that it was Xavier's job to explain everything to the pack.As we became silent for a minute, my thoughts turned to Bella, another difficult member of the pack. "How is Bella doing?" I inquired, attempting to divert the subject."Stubborn as ever," Amara said, a little irritably. "We must take extra precautions to protect her and the baby. She is determined to get rid of the baby, but we are all waiting for the child to arrive in the world.""Bella is tough," I acknowledged, admiring her fortitud
Under the Moonlight: Alpha's Bride 2 Pain and Love
Chapter 54 He turned around and stared at me with such raw vulnerability that I couldn't help but sense a kinship with him, a bond that went beyond simple strangers.My heart ached for his pain, I whispered. "Sometimes, life throws us into storms that we can't control, but we can find strength in leaning on others, in sharing our pain with those who care."Levine's gaze met mine for a brief moment. "But what if I'm too broken to be fixed?" he asked quietly as if he was frightened to express his innermost worry."You're not broken," I stated emphatically, my voice full of conviction. "You're just going through a rough patch, and it's okay not to be okay. But you don't have to go through it alone. Some individuals care about you and wish to assist you in healing."Levine's defenses cracked, and tears flowed down his cheeks. At that moment, I knew our connection was more than words and explanations - it was a meeting of two souls, each seek

It was Levine, his face solemn and sad. My stress dissipated when I recognized him. I couldn't help but smile. "You know Xavier married Marina," I said Levine, a smile on my lips.His response was regretful, and his voice was heavy with disappointment. "Are you truly content?" Levine queried, his face betraying his anguish."Of course," I said firmly, my excitement obvious. "Finally, he has Marina by his side, the one he loves, and—"Levine spoke before I could finish, his words cutting through my excitement. "You should not be happy about it. Xavier didn't marry Marina to get away from you. He did it to keep you close, to keep you close to him forever.""What exactly do you mean?" I inquired, my perplexity growing.Levine disclosed a shocking reality to me.

"How on earth is this even possible?"As he met eyes with the Unknown Pack Leader, Levine's expression was a mix of rage and perplexity. "What are you doing here?"As we all watched the unimaginable unfold in front of us, the crowd began to murmur in a mixture of fascination and shock."I never send my guests away empty-handed, and I always offer them with enough amusement to remember for a lifetime," said Xavier with a sly grin to the Unknown Pack Leader.Members of the unknown group began brandishing their firearms and knives, bracing themselves for a fight.Levine, still stunned, turned to Xavier for answers.

Chapter 70 As he continued to treat my wound, Xavier's fingers moved gently. "However, it is sometimes at these unexpected moments that we discover something wonderful."My cheeks flushed, and I averted my gaze, trying to disguise my emotions. "You're a philosopher, aren't you?"He leaned in closer, his words low and heartfelt. "Only when I'm with someone who changes my perspective on the world."When our gazes locked, the world around us seemed to fade away. The unpleasantness of the circumstance had evolved into a common understanding.He was different from the Xavier I knew in the present; he was kind, and he treated me properly although Xavier never treated me well in the present, not once.Xavier's words poured over me like a calm ocean wind, drawing me closer with each word.

Chapter 68 Xavier, the calm voice amid the turmoil, interrupted. "Gentlemen, we must find a solution to close these mistrust and resentment gaps."Anthony, evidently irritated, fired back at Falkor. "Despite spending years hiding in the shadows, you appear remarkably self-assured, Falkor."Falkor, unfazed by Anthony's insults, reacted with a smug grin. "But, my darling vampire, the shadows frequently hold the most valuable secrets."The chamber became tenser with each exchange, weighted with hostility and the weight of history. Xavier's patience remained steadfast, a credit to his leadership. "Enough of this, you two. We are up against a shared foe who threatens us all. Isn't it time to set aside old grudges for the greater good?"Anthony's rage, a boiling tempest within, found expression in a final, cutting sentence.

His death would not result in Levine's death, saving him from a gruesom

Chapter 66"But be warned, I shall brook neither violence nor the stain of inappropriate behavior," retorted Xavier, his voice an adamant assertion. "Your home will be comfortable, but keep in mind that any irresponsible activity that leads to self-destruction will be met with rapid resolution. I hope you're not going down the same foolish path and make no silly mistakes as previously."My presence seemed to break through the curtain of their conversation. Elodie's eyes met mine, causing my heart to race and leading me to take two steps back, covered in instinctual unease."The journey ahead has many uncertainty for you," said Elodie, her voice laced with mystique reaching my ears. "There will be decisions to make, ones that will carry the weight of life and death, salvation, and sacrifice. You will face the most intricate issues to authenticate your way through these trials.

Towering darkness created by the invading dark army has sparked a desperate desire for salvation in everyone's hearts. Who, in the face of such impending danger, would dare to trust that their own pack would come to their aid? My mistake was a lack of faith, a failure to appreciate the breadth of your dedication."Xavier's words were gentle, and they could heal even the most broken hearts.
