Why the moon roars Black out
Baelakis POVI heard a really loud thud. It was my body that made the noise, it took me a second or more before I finally felt the impact of my weight coming in contact with a floor made out of wood like a bag of unwanted trash. I can’t make a sound, I already feel enough pain from the past two days and the worst part is that I do not know where I am and neither has this fold been lifted off my eyes since I got captured. It seemed funny to me because my parents did not even have a penny to their name and if these godforaken kidnappers are trying to ask them for ransom, I’ll be dead in a few days because to start with, my parents do not have a phone which means, they cannot be contacted and it also means I’m done for.Wait, didn’t these kidnappers see the rags I was wearing before kidnapping me? Why would they bother taking someone like me?I hear a little sound near me. So faint as if the person is trying to gasp for air. Although I haven’t tasted anything for two straight days, I’m no
Why the moon roars Lock in
A sharp pain went straight into my eyes and I immediately squinted. The darkness was too much to comprehend, so thick that it felt like my overgrown nails could penetrate its flesh.The atmosphere here was different, it was more silent than the last one. They had put me in an isolated room alone and taken the fold off my eyes. They brought me here to teach me a lesson.“This one is too stubborn, once we finish teaching her a lesson, she’ll behave well and keep mute like the others” the voice said before giving me a scalding blow on my mouth. Liquid dripped off of the spot he had hit me, it definitely wasn’t saliva, this liquid tasted and smelled like iron. It was blood.I groaned. Another blow, then another, then another to my stomach, then another to my left ear, then another to my stomach again and one heavy one to my left eye. All these blows coming from a creature that I couldn’t see. The people here are heartless.“Just let me go… home” I whispered amid my heavy breathes.“Thr
Why the moon roars Cyrus
Cyrus POV:I shall now continue to lay my eyes on the nothingness of this earth.Nothing is my favorite color, I love all shades of it, pitch darkness, where I can see nothing. I prefer to listen.The world may be shrouded in darkness, but my senses are heightened. I can hear the rustling of the trees, the scurrying of small animals, and the distant howls of my pack. But there is something else, a faint sound that doesn't belong. It's a whisper, a melody, a calling. I close my eyes and focus, allowing the melody to guide me deeper into the forest.I smell something. My wolf smells it too, something different. Something I have never smelled before, there was something, it was far but it was near at the same timeThe scent is intoxicating, a mixture of lavender and honey, with a hint of something wild and untamed. It stirs something deep within me, a longing, a need. My wolf growls in agreement, urging me to follow the scent.I move swiftly through the trees, the scent growing stronger
Why the moon roars Escape plan
Baelakis POVA week has passed and the only thing I’ve been given is water. My husky voiced tormentor says it’s to keep me alive but keep me weak. It worked, I definitely couldn’t feel my legs as I laid facing these wooden floors.As the days passed by, I felt my strength dwindling, my muscles aching for something other than water to sustain me. The stench of the wooden floors mingled with the salty sea air, making my stomach churn. The occasional creak of the ship's timbers and the rush of the waves beneath the hull were the only sounds that broke through the silence of my prison.I could barely keep my eyes open, the light that peeked through the small porthole in the cell only adding to my misery.The rocking of the ship intensified as the waves grew more tumultuous, signaling that land was not far off. My mind raced with possibilities, the escape plan solidifying with each passing minute.As the sun began to set, casting a fiery glow across the ocean, I heard a commotion above dec
Why the moon roars Run
As we made our way up the stairs to the upper deck, the sounds of the crew grew louder. They were coming, and we had to move faster.I heard a silent whimper somewhere in the dark corner.I searched with my eyes carefully to make out a figure weak on the floor. I’m glad I didn’t rush out, I would have left someone behind.I walked slowly to her and picked her up, “Ju..st let m…e go, I’ll drag you girls back. You girls have to run fast, leave me alone and r…un” the dry voice said.I recognized that voice as clear as I could tell water from acid. She was the first girl who spoke to me the first time I was brought into the ship.“I won’t let you go, you are coming with us” I said as I picked her up. She was really light, it was obvious that she hadn’t had enough food,how long had she been here? Her skinny bones could pierce me.As I held her fragile form in my arms, a surge of determination welled up inside me. I couldn't leave her behind to suffer alone in the darkness any longer. With
Why the moon roars Run Faster
The crew had spotted us, and they were hot on our heels. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I broke into a run, the other girls following close behind.At this point I carried the dry voice girl as I have come to describe her due to the absence of her name on my back, she was close to weightless anyway.We followed the purple haired girl as she ran."This way!" the purple-haired girl yelled, her voice frantic.We rounded a corner, the lifeboat now in sight. A burst of hope surged through me, but it was quickly extinguished as the sound of a gunshot rang out. One of the crew members had taken aim, the bullet lodging itself into the wood just inches from my head."They're shooting at us!" I cried, my body tensing. "Keep moving!"We raced towards the lifeboat, ignoring the bullets whizzing past us.We got into the boat, bullets flew around like flies.Thank God the boat was a big one, before another, the boat was full. There were five girls remaining.“We have to carry each other so
Why the moon roars Silence
Behind me, I could hear the shouts of the men, their footsteps pounding through the forest like thunder. I knew they were gaining ground, their numbers overwhelming us."Arghh!" I heard a cry from the darkness, the voice of the purple-haired girl. I turned to see her stumble and fall, her face twisted in pain.I stopped right in my tracks, I ran back to her and helped her up.“I need to stick by your side, please” she begged. I looked at her and the wounded girl by her side.“Stay close. What is your name?” I asked the purple haired girl.“Devina” she responded.We continued running.“You can’t run away from me.” His eerie voice said into the voice amplifier. “Just come back”.At this point, I could see none of the other girls in sight, I could only pray that wherever they ran to, they were safe.Gun shots again as we continued to run.As we ran, our breaths heavy and hearts pounding, the sounds of gunfire echoing in the distance, Devina's grip tightened on my hand. Her purple hair st
Why the moon roars Evara
For the past ten hours, I had ignored her cry for help but her heartbeat was faster now, it only means something bad is about to happen to her. I feel my wolf, he wants to help her, he is curious but I’m not. I’m going to sit on my bed in this dark room and block that voice.I try to block out the voice in my head, to push aside the insistent plea for help. But it's no use. My wolf stirs within me, his instinct to protect and defend surging to the surface."Fine," I mutter, my voice echoing in the emptiness of the dark room. I don't know why I'm doing this, why I'm allowing myself to be drawn into the chaos of another's life. But something about this girl, this mysterious figure cloaked in darkness, compels me to act.“Follow me” I command my Beta through telepathy.“Always, my Alpha” he responds.With a growl, I shift into my wolf form and bound out of the room, following the scent and the sound of her heartbeat. The forest rushes by in a blur as I race towards the unknown, towards a

BAEKALIS’ POVI stood nervously in the dressing room, turning around so I was faced away from the mirror as I played with the rings that adorned my fingers. My wedding ring shone the brightest among them all, the gem glowing in a way that I had never seen before. It amazed me every single time. Sadly, this wasn't one of the special times that the glimmer managed to calm me down. “Sweetheart, you're overreacting. It's not that deep.”I snapped my neck around again to glare daggers at Natalia, folding my arms across my chest as she flinched at my look. She stared at me pointedly for a few more seconds before deciding to call me a bluff. She mirrored my look, hers accompanied with the same subtle eyebrow raise that Cyrus did all the time. “Mhm, don't look at me like that. You also know you're overreacting.” Natalia turned to look at Ardyn who was seated on the couch next to her, his attention fully directed at his switch.Clyde had finally gotten him one for his tenth birthday a few
Why the moon roars Beautifully.
DEVINA'S POVI sighed, soaking myself in the water even more as I let myself sink. My muscles were aching, and for the first time in a while, I felt relaxed. My face felt smooth, and my hair was neatly tied in a bun and my whole skin was tingling. Soft classical piano resonated around the room through the speakers situated at the four corners of the walls. The speakers were connected to my phone, and I genuinely wouldn't mind being murdered here. Sonata No. 14, “Moonlight” in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27 No. 2: I. Adagio sostenuto. It was a particular favourite of mine ever since I had started listening to classical music. Which was, admittedly, only quite recently. Although, I didn't think my opinion about it being one of my favourites would be changing any time soon. I heard footsteps echoing from down the hall, sounding louder and louder as the owner of the two feet approached the bathroom. I only sighed louder, letting my eyes flutter close as I rested my head against the edge of t
Why the moon roars Awakened Evil.
Cyrus POV.The alpha rogue howled outside as if calling me, red filled my vision as I transformed, stepping over bodies as I made my way outside.The cool breeze blew our fur, his beady black eyes glinting wickedly in the moonlight. We both detransformed.“Ending your parents was just the beginning, I'll kill you then proceed to end the rest of your pathetic pack.”“Your father was a weakling who never deserved to rule.”“What's shocking is he had an even weaker son who succeeded in being a worse Alpha than he was.”I cut him off, sending an uppercut to his stomach as he lurched backwards, clutching his stomach.He lunged at me, his claws gleaming in the moonlight, I bent as low as I could, kicking him from under and sending him flying towards the entrance.He fell on the tiles with a large this, the stood up, limping as he wiped blood from his mouth, a sinister look in his eye as he transformed.I transformed too, slowly advancing towards him, howls and battle cries distant as his gre

CYRUS’ POV Baek switched between happy and depressed over the next fortnight. Her moods went from immense joy to overwhelming sadness in a matter of days. Her mother had holed herself up in her room ever since the night of the announcement. Thomas was cremated and his ashes were kept in a jar in Cynthia's room, the jar kept in a glass case which hung decoratively over her bed.We– especially I– were all worried for Baek, tiptoeing on eggshells around her all the time, careful not to upset her for fear she'd breakdown.“Hey,” I whispered softly, coming out the bathroom as I tightened the sweatpants which hung low on my waist.I went to her and softly kissed the top of her head, sitting behind her as I massaged her shoulders.“How are you holding up?” I asked, burrowing my fingers deeper into her shoulder, fighting the knots there.“It all still feels unreal. It's like trying to balance being the mother of twin newborns while mourning the death of my father and trying to be there for m
Why the moon roars Tit for Tat.
DEVINA'S POV“We have to strike now!” Nightshade boomed as he turned towards the pack of rogues…the same rogues who murdered Alpha Cyrus' parents.“Why? It's not the designated time yet. Our soldiers aren't fully trained yet and your top soldier just recovered from a fatal injury…”“I hardly think we are in any position to ‘strike now’.”“Oh, but we are dear Alpha. Cyrus' father in law was murdered in the same battle that my Denzel was wounded.”Your Denzel?“Combining the death of her father with the birth and kidnapping of her children, Baekalis is weak and emotionally unstable right now. And if she is, automatically her husband — Cyrus — is too.“Now is the perfect time to strike because they are so downcast and fucking disoriented.”“B-but–”“But what?!” Nightshade boomed, his voice echoing through the night, the distant cry of the birds echoing through the dense forest.“Lower your voice.” The alpha commanded, growling as he faced Nightshade.Nightshade sighed in exasperation, ru
Why the moon roars The Cloak.
Cyrus POV.I don't know how long I lay there, I turned my neck, the stiffness making it hard as I took in the bloodiness of my surroundings. I looked at Denzel again, his eyes were closed so just to be sure I pressed my ear to his chest.It rose and fell slowly, a calming rhythm to his breaths. I pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose as I stood up gingerly, stretching as I reached for a makeshift first aid box in the corner of the room. I poured alcohol on a semi-clean rag and silently apologised as I pressed the rag to his thigh. He winced and woke up, he saw me and his frantic eyes softened as he clenched my cloak. I slowly wiped the blood off the surrounding areas and cleaned his wound as best I could, I then tore an piece of my cloak and used it to wrap the injury.That would help for now.I snuggled into his chest, not caring whether nightshade would see us anymore. He groggily turned and pressed a kiss to my forehead, falling asleep quickly after. ~•~I slowly sat up, rubbing
Why the moon roars Tough as nails.
CYRUS’ POV I kicked the stone I had been fixated on for the past half hour away from me. Stephen had been gone for a while and we were all losing hope. Of course none of us said it directly, but with each passing day, our shoulders slumped more, we became more sluggish and the vigour which had been there days ago slowly died.I don't even know who was more affected by the kidnapping of Ciel and Lyra– me or Thomas, my father in law.I stood up, dusting myself off as Stephen rushed towards me, looking more anxious than usual if that was even fucking possible.“Cyrus, we need to move…now!” he ordered, rousing the others from their resting places. “What…why?” I questioned, rubbing my temple as I arched my back, the satisfying crack it made as I stretched.“The twins…I know where they are…” he trailed off, picking up his gun and putting out the fire he and Thomas had struggled to ignite mere hours before.My eyes shot open at that, my somewhat calm psyche thrown into another frenzy as b
Why the moon roars Devina’s request.
Devina's POV.The morning sunlight filtered softly through the heavy curtains, casting a warm, golden hue across the room. I was still half-asleep, drifting between dreams and reality, when I felt Devina stir beside me. Her warmth was a comforting presence, and I wanted nothing more than to stay wrapped up in her embrace, blocking out the dangers that waited beyond these walls. But even in this peaceful moment, there was an unspoken tension in the air, a reminder that our time together was always fleeting.I slowly became more aware of the world around me, the softness of the bed, the gentle rise and fall of Devina’s breath. But I kept my eyes closed, savoring the feeling of her fingers threading through my hair, the tender way she touched me. It was rare to see her like this—calm, unguarded, and not weighed down by the burdens she carried. I wanted to hold onto it, just a little longer.But reality had other plans.I felt her movements slow, the gentle strokes of her hand in my hair
Why the moon roars It takes two to tango.
As the door closed behind Nightshade, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. The tension in my shoulders slowly unwound, though the heaviness in my chest remained. His presence was like a cold, suffocating fog that seeped into every corner of the room, and even after he was gone, the chill lingered. I walked over to the window, pulling back the heavy curtain to peer out into the night. The sky was pitch black, with no stars to offer comfort, just the same oppressive darkness I had grown accustomed to.I pressed my forehead against the cool glass, my breath fogging the glass as my thoughts spiraled. It was always the same when Nightshade left. Relief mingled with dread, the uneasy calm before the storm. I was his lover, his confidante, but only because I had to be. The mask I wore in his presence felt like a second skin, a permanent skin I could never fully shed. I was trapped in this role, suffocated by the lies I told myself and him. There was no escape, not without payi
