Adrian's POV "We have no idea who she is." She replied with shoulders trembling in fear."I think she's a friend to the Luna, they are inseparable. For some reasons, I felt proud of Fiona. I was grateful that at least she was nicer to Lupe."Not everyone is like you." My wolf interjected. Ignoring him, I turned to the girls, "Describe how she looked." I needed to be sure for the last time. "Or aren't you just stalling?" He interupted my thoughts again. As much as I hated to admit, he was a little right, for the first time in my life, I was frightened to see someone. I felt so bad for the way I treated her and I was scared of her reaction. She probably hates me. I deserved it, every feeling of hatred that she had for me, I deserved every single one of them. "She is tall, taller than the queen. Her face is one of the most prettiest I've ever seen. She's well endowed and she has a very bold and daring aura." It was her, it was Lupe. "What are you doing to my people, brother?" I h
Lupe's POV All eyes in the room turned to face me, including him. I must be crazy walking towards the same man I ran away from in my own accord. But I couldn't let him die. I overheard him talking to Fiona pleading to see me for some unknown reasons, he sounded desperate. "Are you sure about this Leah?" I asked as I walked towards wondering if I could really heal what the healer couldn't. "Yes, all he needs is your blood to cleanse his contaminated one." She explained. Fiona turned to me with guilty eyes, "I'm sorry Lupe, I don't know how he found out."I sent her a smile, "It's fine." I knew it would take him only a couple of hours to find me. To be honest, a part of me came here hoping we'd cross paths someday. "Lupe, can we talk?" Adrian asked. For the first time since I knew him, he was being polite, not the usual jerk that I was used to.I remained silent avoiding his gaze. "Can you help me with a knife?" I turned to the maid standing by the door."Yes my lady." She bowed
Lupe's POV Instantly his hands fell off my waist, I picked myself up."What games are you trying to play your highness?" I drawled the last part as I folded my arms watching him. He pushed himself up, "games?" He asked looking confused."Yes, if you think I'd easily fall into your trap, then you better have a rethink." My hands were trembling in anger. There was no way he would suddenly come searching for me to apologize for his wrong doings especially not after I heard his harsh words the day I left the palace."Lupe, I am not playing any games, I came here to plead for your forgivness and ask that you return with me to the pack." He said. "Return to hell?" I scoffed, "You're kidding." "What can I do to make you believe me Lupe?" He asked. "How can I believe any word you say when you were so ready to have the guards throw me out? Aren't I the bitch you hated? I decided to save myself the shame by leaving in my own accord." I spat at him.His face dropped, "You heard." It sounde
Adrian's pov.Her eyes were hard, I could tell that she was very worried about Dave. She must have liked him a lot, afterall, he protected her while I failed. A part of me suddenly felt jealous of him, he had someone who was very worried about him. "I can't have you risk your life Lupe, I will find a way to bring Dave here, I think that's better and safer." I said not moving an inch from where I stood."You think?" She scoffed at me. My jaw dropped in disbelief, "I.. I think it's less dangerous." "Let's say we do it the way you want, on your way back to the palace, you get shot by the same poisonous arrows, then you bring Dave out into that horrible battle field, risking his life. Woah, very brillant idea." She clapped.Instantly, I felt so foolish for the first time, "You're right, it's too risky." "What are you both planning to do?" Fiona appeared at the door, I could tell she had been eavesdropping. "We are leaving Fiona, I'm sorry it's sudden, but thank you for everything." L
Lupe's POV For a moment, my heart stopped then it began to beat wildly. He was staring at me with those dark eyes, I was experiencing a lot of firsts with this new Adrian, for the first time, his usual arrogant look was gone, replaced with ones that stared at me with so much intense emotions.I swallowed hard trying to calm my beating heart. "Don't do that." I said not taking my eyes off his. "Tell me what I shouldn't do." His voice was low, we were alone in the woods, surrounded by animals who crawled in the shadows and insects whose chirping was loud enough to make a deaf man hear. But for some reasons, I wasn't scared; I have never been scared of him but I once dreaded meeting him. Seeing him here all alone in the middle of nowhere, I should have been scared of what he might do to me but crazy me was tingling in anticipation. The look in those eyes was driving me crazy. "D.. I mean, don't worry about me." Damnit! Why in the name of the goddess was I stuttering?!"Why shouldn't
Lupe's POV My hands moved faster than steel. It sliced through the rotten fleshs of the rogues and the hunters. My eyes were fixed on the gates, I need to save Dave before it was too late. I needed to fight without facing the danger of hurting my pup, fighting in my human form was not helping, the hunters were strong, they fought till their last breathe. Whatever Sabastian promised them must be something they were willing to die for. I sensed the presense of a rogue behind me, I turned sharply. "It's you." His words were sloppy and he counted them as though he feared words. I sent him a look with one hand placed over my stomach protectively. That was becoming an habit, I needed to drop it before I get caught."Care to identify yourself?" I asked keeping my eyes on him. I noticed that we were drawing the attention of the other rogues who were moving closer to me. "That is none of your business." He snapped. My eyes scanned through the crowd in search of Adrian, but he was busy
LUPE'S POV"Who else do you think is born under the purple moon?" I suddenly heard dad ask. “The sooner we hand her over, the less problem we are going to face. He is offering a lot. It seems like he is desperate. It scares me.” He yelled."Liar! You are being tempted by what he is offering. I don't care what this has on your reputation! But this is my daughter's life and future we're talking about here. My daughter is going nowhere and that’s final!" My mother growled.My ears perked up at her words. They were surely saying something concerning me. Although I have a step sister too, we do not share the same blood from either maternal side. Her mother was the alpha's mate whom I was told cheated on him with her former lover after giving birth to Kiera, my step sister. But the way she said it, it has to be me.They were glaring daggers at each other as I entered the living room. The moment I cleared my throat, they broke it off. "Who is not going anywhere?" I gave them both an unnerv
LUPE'S POV"Yes!" Leah, my wolf answered with so much excitement.I felt a mental connection to him instantly, my insides felt warm. A kind of comfort came over me just by seeing him. His face had a gentle, yet sharp edge to it. His eyes were deep brown, bringing to it a warmth that threatens to draw you in until you get lost in them. Dark, full eyebrows accentuated his face, lashes as long as that of a woman. His lips were full and dark pink in color. Unfamiliar sparks and an electric jolted me back to reality. My eyes widened as I saw that he was directly before me, and in fact, touched my head. The contact made me crave his touch more, the urge to lay in his thick arms for eternity, gripped me. My palm got clammy at how intense his gaze was on me. He leaned closer, "Hey, beauty." His deep, masculine voice met my ear. It was smooth as though he had nurtured the voice to make anyone drool over it."Hi." I mumbled lowly. I could barely recognize my own voice as it came out."I'm Beta

Adrian's POV The pack was busy when I got there, people moved around carrying furnitures and portraits bearing the picture of their Alpha, Alex. They walked past me giving me a small bow as they went. It felt strange, they seemed to care about their Alpha than they cared about me.Not saying a word, I walked in their midst. "I can't wait to see the Luna, I heard she's very pretty." One young girl carrying a flower pot said with a blush on her face."Oh, you weren't her when she was announced as the Luna." Her friend replied.The flower girl shook her head, "My mom was sick, the king was kind enough to let us take her back home to her father to get treated. He didn't want us to say, but he gave us enough food and gold to keep us going till she was able to get back on her feet." "The King has always been nice, he's just like his father." Her friend was smiling. "Don't you think the queen is like the former queen too? I heard she's equally alike." Her friend smiled, "She's more beau
Adrian's POV "Her scent is faint, I can barely trace her." My wolf released a frustrated growl. "Let's keep searching, we must find her." I replied jumping over a fallen maggot infested tree. I got to a crossroad, for some reasons, her scent was gone. It was as though she vanished into thin air. I couldn't tell which road she took. Deciding to trust my instincts, I took to the left leading to her former pack. She might have gone back home to her family. "I don't think she's stupid enough to go to where you'd find her." My wolf muttered."There's no harm in trying, I will leave no stone unturned till I find her." I replied increasing my pace. Time was no on my side, Dave was drifting slowly into eternal sleep and my kingdom was falling. I needed Lupe more than anything else. I trusted Cenat to hold off the army, but he can't hold them off for long, he was injured. Fighting off a thousand well trained hunters was a difficult task. He was obviously risking his life. I hoped that th
Lupe's POV "Are you fine Lupe?" Fiona asked as she patted my back. I was squatting on the ground with my head bent down towards the heap of grass that had just been cut. My throat felt like it was filled with packs of needles that pierced my flesh hard. "I'm okay, it's just the morning illness." I replied getting up. She handed me a bowl of water, "wash your face with this, I will get the healer to check how the child is doing." "I'm fine Fio- Luna Fiona, I just need a little rest. Guess the baby doesn't want food this morning." I smiled at her hoping she would relax. Her shoulders were tensed and her facial expression filled worry. "Just call me Fiona, we are friends so it's fine." She took back the bowl before handing it over to the maids who stood behind us. "Even if the child doesn't want food, you still need to see the healer, and I'm not listening to any protests." She sent me a playful scowl. "Alright, do what you please your highness." I bite back my laugh.Since I left
