Death was…not what I expected it to be.Death was dark and cold, with a steady beep and pain. The pain was the worst. I felt it everywhere. Would I be meeting the Moon Goddess with the memory of every physical pain I had gone through before my death?Perhaps not.This pain wasn’t physical. It was everywhere, but it originated from one source. I rued every second I spent there, not knowing what state my body was in.I remembered everything. Every punch, every kick, every painful word Frazier inflicted way beneath my skin. I remembered my weakness. I remembered my mate sitting there, not doing anything until he was sure I was about to die, so I would think in my last moments that he actually cared about me.I was in limbo, I guessed. The Moon Goddess had not arrived yet. I was only just swimming through my time on earth and the memories that came with it.Every moment I spent with Selena, laughing, baking, yelling, crying, painting.And that’s when I felt a sharp, fiery texture i

ELEVEN

The first response Selena got from me was a chuckle. “Okay, Selena. Nice try. I get that you’re trying to lighten the mood by playing a prank, but I’m being serious right now.”“You think I’m making jokes about this?” She raised a brow at me. There was nothing on her face or in her tone that depicted an air of lightness – she was telling the truth.I scrambled away from her like the air around her was scalding. I didn’t know if I was trying to run away from her or from my own skin. I stood up, my eyes boiling over with hot tears.“I saw it. I saw it happen. Con-Conrad. He beat Frazier up. I saw that! I was unconscious! How could I have killed a person?” Selena stood up, sensing my crisis. She pulled me into her chest and kissed my hair repeatedly as I cried over her shoulder, staining her green cotton dress with my tears.“I know, sweetheart. I’m as surprised as you are. Everyone watched it happen. One minute, Conrad was on top of him, beating the hell out of him. We all thought y

TWELVE

There was barely any time between Deimos lying on the floor and me pulling him up, bombarding him with every question I had.“I have a father? A real one? Where is he? How do you know him? Does he belong in a pack somewhere? How far is it?”“You can’t possibly be falling for that, Athena. You’re willing to leave this pack and just…go?” Selena questioned in disbelief that broke my heart.“What has this pack ever given me, Selena? What has it given you? You can come with me. We’ll live—”“You’re not going anywhere. And if you are, it’s definitely not with him.” Conrad interrupted me, glaring at Deimos.“I’m sorry, is she not old enough to make her own decisions?” Deimos raised his brows, feigned confusion on his face.“Listen to me, Athena.” Selena pulled me so that I was now facing her. “He doesn’t want the best for you. He’s only going to use you and nothing more! Your father…” she stopped herself from going further. “You can’t leave this pack.”I frowned at her, having anythin

THIRTEEN

It was blurry. It was all blurry. Loud thunder and random flashes of lightning followed me around the woods, the water falling from the sky helping to wipe off my tears.I didn’t know how long I had been running. My feet were weary, but I couldn’t stop. I didn’t know how to. My heart felt like it was going to combust as it shattered and came back together over and over.You’re the daughter of an Alpha.It was impossible. If I had an Alpha for a father, why was I an outcast in a completely different pack? There was no logic that could hold that information together. Nothing.It was cold out in the forest and I was pretty sure I was lost. My feet failed me and I was falling face down on wet leaves and dirt. I stayed there for goddess knew how long, crying my eyes out and sniffling.The drops of rain pelted me like they were scolding me, telling me to get up and find a way to sort things out. If only things were that simple. If only the woman I had taken as my mother for twenty year

FOURTEEN

The crowd was more silent than ever. They scrambled apart, making a path for Deimos as he stepped forward. The tension was so thick, I could almost see it.Deimos stepped on the podium and greeted his brother with a smile. “You should be ashamed of yourself, don’t you think? Your mate is this desperate to leave you.”“You’re not going anywhere with her.” Conrad stepped between me and Deimos, blocking us from each other. I had to say something, anything. I wanted to leave. I was not welcome in that pack. They wanted someone who was not me, and I wanted a pack and a family that wanted me back.“I’m going with him, Conrad.” As if it wasn’t quiet enough, the air stilled. Conrad’s back tensed. The only person with a smile on his face was Deimos.“Well, well.” Deimos crossed his arms. “Now that you’ve heard it, step aside. I don’t have all day to stay here with you and chat. I didn’t come here to start another fight.”“I’m not—”“Please, just let me go.” I interrupted Conrad, bringing

FIFTEEN

I was drowning.I was underwater.But I wasn’t.I was underwater, but I could see people. I could see people in white lab coats, walking past me. Nobody was paying attention to me. Everyone was going about their usual business.My entire body was wet, but I couldn’t move. I could feel my body being sucked by something, some things. I was in water, but I was breathing.Last I checked, I wasn’t a fish.I couldn’t turn, couldn’t move. I could only think. My head was traveling a mile a minute.In the time that I was awake, I had found out just a bit—my nose was covered with a tube which provided me with air, I was floating in a tank filled with abnormally cold liquid which I wasn’t sure was water.The world outside was white. It felt like I was frozen in time, watching everyone else walk. I felt like a ghost in my own body.I wasn’t dead, I could tell.Slowly, the events leading up to this moment played in my head like a slow movie. Images flooded my head, voices came and went,

SIXTEEN

One of two things had happened: Time was frozen, or I was frozen in time.I stared at Deimos, waiting for him to laugh and tell me he was testing out a joke on me, looking to see how I would react. He did not.I was not frozen in time. Time was not frozen. My legs carried me backwards, keeping me going until my back hit a flat surface behind me that wouldn’t budge. There was nothing but air and a few feet separating me and him now.“You can’t possibly be serious,” I said with a disbelieving shake of my head. “I’m your brother’s mate, remember? Conrad’s mate—”“Yes, I understand that. And that, precisely, is why you’re also my mate.” I didn’t understand. I wasn’t sure I wanted to. I didn’t want to say anything that would prompt him to explain it to me.“Athena—”“Don’t. I don’t want to hear it.” Not yet. Maybe not ever.“You actually do have to listen to me at some point. I suggest you get the whole thing explained to you now, to get things over with.” He shoved his hands in his

SEVENTEEN

It took just a few minutes of staying in Selenoid to know how different it was from Crimson pack. They were like day and night, cold and heat, happiness and sadness – very easy to tell apart.It was very obvious Selenoid was technologically advanced, while Crimson pack chose to do things the traditional way. In Crimson pack, a selected number of people would be chosen to be warriors after vigorous training. Here in Selenoid, everyone was a warrior and trained as equally as possible from the age of sixteen, even the Omegas.Everyone treated everyone else as an equal. Levels of strength didn’t matter here.They recognized me as their Luna.I didn’t know how everyone seemed to recognize me when I just arrived about one day ago, but I didn’t miss the subtle bows they sent my way whenever they saw me, not minding how rough I looked with damp hair and a bodysuit.“Good day, Luna,” they would say, either staring at me with bright smiles or avoiding eye contact.It felt great.It made

EIGHTEEN

The sun was setting when I opened my eyes again. I was in the softest bed I had ever been on in a long time, an equally soft blanket covering me. For a minute, I imagined I was dead and that I was in heaven. I half-expected the Moon Goddess to walk in.The door opened, but it wasn’t the Moon Goddess. I turned and found Deimos walking towards me with a tray of food. The aroma wafted through my nostrils, making me sit up.“You’ve been out for quite a while now,” he said, setting the tray on my legs. “Crêpes and freshly juiced oranges.”“Thank you.” I smiled at him as I dug in, only realizing how hungry I was when I had the first bite.“What happened to me?” I inquired.“We were training. You were learning how to climb up the ropes when you fell. You hit your head very badly, but you’re fine now.” My hand instinctively went to my head to feel it, but there was no pain.“My head feels fine,” I commented, going back to the crepes and making sure to chew properly to avoid choking.“W

NINETEEN

I didn’t know everything I felt. I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel. It had been a week since I found out the truth and cleared my doubts.I had been ripped away from my home and cast aside like a useless rag. Nobody would come for me. Even if Selena wanted to, she would most likely be exiled. I didn’t think she would want to sacrifice that much for me, especially since we had fought over something I didn’t remember.One thing I knew for sure was that I was angry.Angry at Frazier for challenging me to a fight. Angry at myself for not knowing how I had killed him. Angry at Ferra for every single thing she did and said ever since I met her. Angry at Conrad for simply existing.The one person I wasn’t angry at was the man standing in front of me with a punching bag, encouraging me to throw a heavy punch – Deimos.He made no attempt at quelling my anger or trying to make me understand his brother’s point of view. In fact, he fuelled it even further.“I just don’t understand!
