Zella's POVI am born to be different. I am meant to rule. And nothing or no once can ever change what's meant to happen. I know my destiny, and it's to be the strongest pack's Luna and be the most beautiful one at that. Ever since I learned how to crawl and walk, I was given everything I wanted with just a point of my finger. My parents, grandparents and my relatives all dotted on me and treated me like a princess. I am the Queen of the campus and every guy wants me. And Leonel isn't an exemption. He will be paired with me and I'll make sure of that. I have everything I want to. I can get anything with just a snap of my finger. And I can make anyone's life a living hell. The four corners of the burnt storage room is filled with my moans and my partner's grunt. What remains of what once a place full of our food ration now witnesses my affair with my Omega mate. And the walls hear the sound of our bodies connecting with each other. We are burning. Lost in the passion of our 'love'.
Leonel's POVFirst thing in the morning when I wake up, while I'm eating with the higher ranks of Northridge. While Travis and Janus themselves show me around, and even at night after our meeting before I close my eyes. The little Omega named Klaire never left my mind, and she almost occupied it. Her face, her personality, her laugh, the way she talks, the way she'll look up at me through her lashes or scrunch up her face whenever she thinks too deeply. Damn it, why am I noticing small things about her? It's my third day, and she's slowly taking over me. "Alpha?"I snapped my head to Janus and remembered that he was showing me a bit of their training routine. I must have spaced out for a while. "My apologies. My mind went back to my home." I told him with a small chuckle, and my eyes continued watching their warriors, which only consisted of higher ranks. It was a brief show of power and strength—or as they'd like it to appear so but all I saw was a pathetic excuse for training.
Leonel's POVOnly two days left, and I needed to go back to my pack. The first day here, I was already eager to go back, but as days passed by, as the secret meeting I had with Klaire passed by, I found myself wanting to spend more time with her. And not only for almost half an hour in fear that someone might catch us. At one time, Alaska even fed my mind with the thought of taking Claire back to my pack, but that is just ridiculous. Yes, even with these confusing feelings, I will still not accept her as my mate. And as if fate itself is siding with me, something unexpected happens that will need me to stay with Northridge pack a bit longer. When I woke up this morning, Janus greeted me with a serious face, and I dare say fear in his eyes. He directed me to Travis' office, and the older Alpha's state isn't any better. I think he ages in just a night. My eyes instantly found the scattered letters on top of his mahogany table as I sat beside him. "We received an anonymous threat to
Klaire's POVI ran out of Leonel's room as fast as I could. My heart beats matching my steps as well as the gear on my mind. My mind's blank at that moment as I covered my still tingling lips, my misty eyes darting all over the place but not really seeing anything. That moment, I forgot that it's currently curfew hours and I am out in the open while running from the confusing situation I was in. Why did he do that?! Why did he kiss me?! Was the questions that kept on repeating on my mind but I have no answers to. "Stop!"My whole body froze instantly at the command, the kiss forgotten as I now have to battle for my life. A soldier stopped in front of me with a flashlight in his hand and he pointed it at my face, making me flinch and automatically tried to cover my eyes. "Omega, what are you doing out here when it's curfew?"I tried to wrack my brain for answers, my heart now beating nervously as my palms sweat. What should I do? What should I tell him?! I panicked as I tried to m
Klaire's POVAs far as we were informed, both of the Alphas were set to leave today to have a meeting with the council. Most of my fellow lower-ranks have no idea why, and it actually made me feel guilty that I know why, but I can't tell them the exact reason. First of all, because Leonel was the one who told me. Telling everyone about it will put us in a bad situation. Secondly, I don't want everyone to panic as I don't know the exact details. I had to bite my tongue and avoided eye contact with everyone, including my friends. Not that they will even talk to me. They are both avoiding me and will walk away whenever I approach them. It hurts to see them treat me like that, but I can endure it. As long as they will be fine.When we arrived at the mansion however, I heard from the others that only Alpha Leonel left and both the Alpha and Beta stayed. I'm certain it is regarding the fact that our pack is currently receiving threats, so they didn't want to leave. Worry bloom in my chest
Leonel's POV"Stay here and be with your pack. The Outcasts might take this opportunity so don't leave your pack unguarded." I told Travis the morning we were supposed to leave. "Besides, I want to stop by my pack to fetch some things." I added, leaving no room for argument as I stood in front of him and Janus with my duffle bag in my hand."How about you? They might ambush you on your way." I walk to the front door with them following me. "I'll take five of your finest men if that wouldn't be too much just in case." "Five?" Travis repeated, as if I just offended him. "I have hundreds of elite men and you are only asking for five?" I resisted the urge to groan in frustration as I faced him. "And I am pretty sure at least fifty of them are equal to me. Your point?"Travis frowned at me, clearly finding my choice of words offending and ridiculous, but didn't say anything. He can't counter a fact now, can he? He then ordered Janus to choose what I requested and I put my bag in my car
Leonel's POVOn our way to the council's office, I knew something wasn't right. It's my natural instinct and I always follow it. It's always right and it always saves me. I could smell danger away, hiding and waiting for the right moment and I cursed inwardly. I am not worried about myself, no, I am worried about the five men Travis gave to me. Atlan, Ryker, Patrick, Edward and Gunther. The asshat calls them 'elite', but the way they reacted to the sample battle earlier shows otherwise. If I'm not careful enough, and if my instinct is right, they might be in danger. I grunted and sighed. "So much for a hassle-free journey.""Alpha?" Atlan questioned. I shook my head, seeing the Council's mansion a few meters away. Screw the old bunch of Elders for choosing a remote place to build their place. They are safe as they have the highest form of security, but what about the people coming to see them? They can be ambushed on their way here. "I want you all to stay alert when we leave lat
Leonel's POV"We have to leave now!" I told the five who scrambled on their feet and followed me as I stormed out and practically flew in the driver's seat. Before I could drive away however, Dennis appeared out of nowhere. "You're leaving? Just like that? After you put me in a tight spot? After you acted the way you did even after I told you—""Not now, Dennis. I don't have time for you. If you have anything to say, visit Northridge or call me.""Dennis? Did you just—"I did not let him finish and stepped on the gas, hearing the shock from my companions, but none of them mattered as I drove like hell and even the guards on the outpost panicked when opening the gate. I did not slow down and did not care if I'll break the gate. Klaire might be in danger and I am not there!And I can't even ask anyone in Northridge about her without sounding suspicious! Damn it!Alaska kept on whimpering pathetically while repeating the same sentence, and I knew he wanted to shift, but we can't leave t
Kishna's POVI watched our twins who are now five-year olds chase each other while laughing and the sound of their laughter took away the fatigue I have from scouting the area and fighting off three rogues. My heart jumped when Morty fell and I was about to help him when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see my mate who shook his head and pointed at the scene. And we watched in amazement when Ara, my omega daughter who inherited my traits, helped her Alpha brother and even checked to see if he had wounds. "Are you all right, Morty? Let me help you. I blow it too so the pain shoo-shoo."My mate and I stared at the touching scene in front of us and I held his hand while he kissed the side of my head. "They are growing up so fast. Soon, they will be old enough to lead the pack so we can retire." He joked and I elbowed him. "Let them grow and enjoy their youth."It's not every day that we get to experience joyous moments like today. Most times, I have to deal with my own pack
Leonel's POV"Calm down, will you?" Samson snapped when he finally got enough of me pacing back and forth in front of my wife and I's room. "They'll be fine."I stopped pacing and let out a harsh sigh. "How did you overcome this? It's nerve wracking and I am thinking of millions of scenarios in my head.""That is the point, Nel. Don't think. Trust the doctor with her and trust your wife that she'll make it.""Don't be so harsh on him. After all, this is Klaire's first labor and it's twins."I went to my mother and gave her a hug. "Finally someone who understands me."My mother laughed and patted my back. My parents and I, Samson as well as Klaire's friends are all waiting for the news. It's been ten hours and we haven't heard a single cry of a newborn. I am barely stopping myself from barging in there to know what's happening, but my mom reassured me by saying that it's normal. Apparently as I'm bigger than an average baby, it took them eighteen hours to get me out without hurting he
Klaire's POVSomehow, I knew our plan would succeed because our intention was pure and because we trust each other. The day before the incident, it was Leonel who suggested it. His instinct told him that the council will make a move soon, and so we decided to make our own move ahead of them. None of us questioned his instinct because Leonel is known to have a sharp instinct.Leonel and I will sacrifice ourselves and we will make the prophecy happen. Anne was reluctant to let go of the book first, but we convinced her that we'll get it back. And Nile and Samson were assigned to make the final move. I witnessed how the weather changed and how the mansion is also affected. I watched silently as what's written in the prophecy happened one by one. We were just not prepared for the lives we lost and my mate almost lost his control and ruined our plan, but he managed to calm himself just in time.The flyers fell down from the sky like leaves and droplets of rain, and we waited for the cha
Leonel's POVThe council and the elders have been strangely quiet for a week now. And you should never be too calm when that happens. Because calmness is usually followed by a huge storm. "It's a beautiful day today, don't you think?" Klaire pointed out with a bright smile on her face as we walked hand in hand. "It is. It's so beautiful and sunny that it's almost alarming.""Come on. Don't be too pessimistic now." I stopped and pressed a kiss on her knuckles. "It's not being pessimistic, my love. It's called being realistic.""Alaska still refuses to come out?" She asked once we started walking again. "Yes, but I can feel him peeking out from his cave every now and then. How about Kishna?"Klaire shrugged with a pout and I found that adorable. "She's talking to me now, but whenever we're together, she will shut me off.""What can we do to fix this and have them reconciled?""It's their choice, Leonel. I can feel that they still love each other, but maybe we should wait until they
Klaire's POVI am avoiding Leonel. I know it's childish and I know we'll have to meet and talk about us eventually, but until I'm ready, can't I avoid him for now?It's been two days since then. My wound is healing nicely, thanks to my wolf's fast healing ability. The time I'm resting, I discovered my newfound senses. My eyes can see things clearly when when they are far away. Even when I locked myself in our room, I can smell what they are cooking in the kitchen and it's located on the mansion. I can also hear footsteps and laughter outside. Before someone can open the door, I'd know someone's there and who's behind it. And don't even mention the strength I now have. If it's my old weak body, I will still be bedridden. It has been two days as well when they told me that Leonel went against the council who ordered him to reject me instead of breaking his and Marsh's engagement. I am torn and it's not helping that my wolf, Kishna, had been silent ever since the night we were kidnap
Klaire's POVI lifted my eyelids that seemed to weigh a thousand kilos and winced when I was blinded by the light."Pau, please turn off the light." I asked my friend and moved to turn to my side but moaned in pain instead when I felt a pinch of pain from my side."Uhm, I think it'll be hard to turn off the sun, Klaire." I heard Pau answer and I tried to open my eyes again while blocking the blinding light. What happened to me all came back at once and I sat up, which made me feel dizzy for a second and I felt someone helping me stay upright. Getting kidnapped, almost violated by the rogues, shifting to my wolf and talking to her! I remembered the fight and how Kishna was disappointed and shocked when something hit her. She easily fought the other rogues, but a loud shot was heard. We saw Zella holding a gun before Martina pulled her away to escape. I remember Kishna shaking her head while looking at her wound and saying how pathetic we became and even using our own weakness to gai
Leonel's POVSamson offered to take Klaire instead but I insisted on carrying my mate. I carried her unconscious body to the infirmary where Pat is already waiting. I didn't care that everyone saw me carrying her. I didn't care that we were entangled in a dating rumor and that I am already set to marry someone else. None of those matter because all I can think about is her safety. I carefully laid her on the bed and waited as Pat studied the bullet wound on the right side of her rib. He then let out a sigh of relief when he carefully pulled out the silver bullet and washed the wound. "Thankfully, it's not that deep, Alpha. It did not damage her organs, and you brought her here in time before the bullet fully affected this side of her body. She must have been moving when she was shot."I let out the breath I didn't think I was holding and even Samson and Josef looked relieved. "I will clean her wound and have her drink a pill that will kill the poision of the silver in her system.
Leonel's POV Right after the meeting that took place in the BlueCrescent pack, the largest and oldest pack in the community, Samson, Nile and I agreed on having a drink in Redmoon. We all know we need a drink after spending two hours with a bunch of self-centered, egoistic and arrogant leaders from the other packs. All ten packs gathered in one room, well, minus one that is. It was suffocating and boring. We talked the same old sh*t we're dealing with. Our business with the humans, the safety of each pack, implementing new rules and mostly just them bragging about their packs and what theu contributed to the community. "What's the deal between you and Sean, by the way? The jerk keeps looking your way and if looks could kill, you'll be six feet underground by now." Nile pointed out while we were having a drink on their spacious balcony. "It's not what, but who, Nile. I think Sean used to date Zella. Maybe he's bitter that the woman dropped his ass while Leonel here rejected her
Klaire's POVI frowned and moaned when I slowly regained my consciousness. I felt like my head was splitting and someone nailed it with a hammer. I blinked my eyes open and tried to see, but my vision was blurry. I moaned again in pain and tried to move, only to freeze when I realized that I'm being carried like a sack of potatoes. When I opened my mouth to scream, only muffled noises came out and I tried to fight him off but I can't even lift my arms out. Whatever they used earlier to make me lose consciousness surely messed up with my body. "Looks like the sleeping beauty is awake. It's only been an hour and we still got a good hour back to the site. She shouldn't be awake for another hour."I heard a loud smack followed by a cry of pain. "I told you to use more. Look, she's awake.""Where am I? Let me go." I said weakly and swallowed my saliva, feeling my throat burning. "You can leave. We will inform you of the result." I heard someone say and I tried to see the figure in fron
