What happened after my mating ceremony was something that I had expected. Daniel was furious and what made me even more happier was that he couldn’t do anything to me.
I had the support of not only the werewolf council but also my mate, Xander, who everyone knew would not think twice before ending Daniel’s life.
Daniel had only one choice and that was to see his power slip in front of his own eyes. I knew he was not going to back down, he was silent but that meant that he was brewing a new plan to uproot my life or to drag me where he wanted me.
But I would die before I would go back under his thumb again.
On the other hand, Logan was distraught, he was looking hopeless and embarr*ssed. His father didn’t even try to console him. My heart ached for him when I saw him but in another second it hardened thinking about what life he had planned for me.
He deserved no sympathy from me, nor did he deserve any position.
Maybe it was karma, he tried to take everything from me and now whatever he wanted in his life will never be his.
No Luna for this discarded Alpha.
I chuckled without realizing it.
“Something funny mate,” Xander whispered.
I forgot that I was still in his arms, his hand was branded like steel on my waist, and whenever I tried to move away from him, he dragged me back and tightened his grip.
His deep blue eyes were fixed on mine, and I looked at him in a daze.
There was something peculiar about his scent and his eyes, whenever I look at them I forget who I was or where I was.
I just wanted to keep looking at them.
“I think we should leave, I am not much welcomed here,” Xander said, loud enough that everyone could hear him.
A hushed whisper spread throughout the hall.
This broke the spell and I took a deep breath.
“Yes, we should,” I answered him and smiled at him.
This was a charade, I wanted everyone to believe us and if the way we both ignited during our kiss was any indication, then maybe a lot of people were falling for it.
His beta arranged a car for us and we both started to leave.
Before leaving I turned around and saw something, Lizzie glaring at me.
She was a dangerous woman and a powerful one too.
But what a shame she couldn’t teach her daughter anything other than her silly trick.
I waved goodbye to her with a sweet saccharine smile, Maybe she will burn in hell or maybe I will beat the devil to it.
I smirked and sat inside the car, mentally congratulating myself for creating a new reality for myself.
We were on our way to Xander’s pack, Silver Moon Pack. According to the agreement, I would act as an ideal Luna and fulfill my duties alongside Xander.
This was not a big deal, because I have trained to be a pack’s luna from a young age. I also had a management degree so things would be easy or they would be if Xander kept his nose out of my business.
As we left my pack ground and entered the territory of Silver Moon pack, my heart raced in my chest. I couldn’t believe that I was entering the rival pack and not only as a visitor but as their Pack’s Luna.
This felt weird and more than weird I was scared. Accepting me would be difficult for them.
Oh my god.
I couldn’t believe myself.
What if I had traded one hell for another?
This was an impulsive decision and I had to bear the consequences.
As Xander parked the car, I couldn't help but steal a nervous glance at him. His strong jawline was tense, his deep blue eyes scanning the surroundings as if he were *ssessing the situation.
He must have sensed my unease, for he turned to me and asked in a gravelly voice. "You okay?" he asked, his voice soft.
I swallowed hard and nodded, though I wasn't entirely convinced myself. "Yeah, I'm just... I didn't think we'd actually do this."
Xander chuckled, his fingers brushing a lock of my chestnut hair behind my ear. "Why, do you regret your decision now?"
Before I could reply to him, he brought his mouth closer to mine and whispered, “Do you regret baiting me or luring me in your trap? Is all your bravery turned to ash in front of my pack?” his breath fanned across my face, I closed my eyes.
I couldn’t think of anything else other than his lips on mine, but the implications of his words were clear to me.
I opened my mouth to answer him but before I could do or say anything he took my hand and got out of the car.
The moment we both stepped into the Silver Moon Pack's entrance, we were greeted with thunderous applause and cheers. The pack members had gathered to welcome their new arrivals, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. It was as if the entire pack had been waiting for this moment, and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the warmth of their reception.
I noticed Xander’s hand in mine, and how he had intervened both our fingers. Maybe for his pack or for me. But I was grateful for this little effort.
With grace and composure that had been instilled in me from childhood, I acknowledged the crowd with a regal nod and a serene smile. I had been groomed for this role since I was a child, taught the customs and responsibilities of a Luna by my mother, Ariana, the previous Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.
I missed her the most at this moment but her memories always filled me with power.
When we both reached the hall, Xander looked at his people with a proud expression. I also noticed that all my previous worries were in vain as everyone was so happy to see me. They were not hating me because I belonged to a certain group.
While I was contemplating my next move, an elderly woman came forward.
She must be around in her late fifties or early sixties.
When she hugged me I was startled, but feeling the warmth of her hug made me hug her back. I melted like butter in her warm embrace.
“I am so glad that Xander has a mate now. I was so worried about the future of this pack but now that you are here everything is going to be fine.” She grinned at me, and there was so much happiness in her tone that made me return her smile.
“I am so happy that now the Silver Moon pack will have a Heir now.” She smiled at me and if it wasn’t for the lady holding me, I would have fallen down.
The room was filled with crying kids and the crying did not feel like a curse, it was indeed a blessing, a symphony to my ears.The nurse gave the kids to Xander and he took the bundle of joy with so much love and adoration, I couldn’t help but smile at him.All curses left my mind when I looked at him handling our kids with so much love, this man was my family. I love him.“Grace, look these are our kids,” he showed the faces of my babies to me and a laugh bubbled up my throat.I nodded. Xander leaned down and kissed me on my forehead.“You have given me the best gift, Grace, I am going to worship the land you are going to walk on. You are my goddess from now on.” Xanderr boasted and I laughed.And then suddenly the door opened abruptly.“How dare you all, keeping me out of the room, don’t you know who I am?” Daisy cursed like a sailor as she tried to enter the room while the guards were trying to keep her out.Xander rolled his eyes at her, clearly not ready for her drama.Daisy pun
Xander looked at me, his wolf growled but we needed to act fast. I with my she wolf troop marched toward the rogues, they were not expecting us and were startled when we attacked them, in just one move we had rogues covered from all three sides.From the west Kai was acting like a killing machine, eliminating rogues, from the north I was there and my troop with their agility easily defeated the rogues and Xander’s experience was making rogues run for their lives.But they had nowhere to go, with the help of Robert we had the area covered, anyone who dared to leave the battlefield would burn like crisp hips, so we all were sure of our victory.And after two days of continuous fight, we eliminated every rogue in the area. We were standing before the corpses of our foes and there was a calming peace in the area.A victorious wolf came from the west, my heart skipped a beat knowing that Kai won and I copied him and then waited for Xander, his howl came moments later and I leaped in the ai
Grace’s POV“I, Grace, The Alpha of Blood Moon Pack and Luna of Silver Moon Pack, stand here in front of the members of both packs, to announce that I am leaving the pack to fight alongside my mate. I am leaving not because I only care about my mate, it’s true that I do and I have full faith in him. But more than that, I believe that at this crucial moment, my forces need me. If in a time of crisis, I can’t be there on the battlefield helping my soldiers, then what kind of Alpha I would be? I want to lead my forces, supporting them so that I am there for them, so they are aware that before them the enemy has to deal with their Alpha. All my life my father looked down on me only because I am a woman, not worthy of the title of Pack’s Alpha. But time and again I have proved to him that my biology doesn’t define my worth. My power does, and my authority depends upon my skill. I have earned this title and today I will pay the price of this title. My mother, the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack
The whole day we were holed up in our room and when we went out it was already the next day.Grace and Xander were already present in the dining room.Xander took one look at his Beta and shook his head.“I don’t want to know,” he muttered under his breath, clearly not interested in what happened between us.I snorted, sat on the table, and started eating.And as the day progressed I realized that even though the dark Chapter called Morax had ended, it didn’t mean that all problems were solved. We were still in between the war.Like it was decided before, Xander was preparing to lead the troops to help Kai and Mason was already on his way to help his Alpha.We were standing at the front of the house, Grace held Xander’s hand, and I could see vulnerability in her eyes and I clutched Mason’s hand with desperation.“I am going to come back, don’t worry,” he *ssured me.“Indeed you have to. I will burn your soul if you won’t,” emotions swirled in my voice as I looked at him.He dipped his
“How are you feeling?” Mason asked me his eyes were fixated upon me, there was a fire burning in his eyes, there was a look of longing, a thirst.I had never seen him looking at me like this, except the time we met during our mission with Morax, there was the same intensity in his eyes that I am seeing right now.I always thought that Mason was this laid-back guy but now the possessiveness in his eyes was blinding, and my breath hitched when he moved toward me.“Great, just my bones are dancing with all the energy I had spent,” I smirked at me, as he prowled toward me like a hungry animal, which he was like a hungry wolf.“Why are you looking at me like this?” I questioned him.His eyes darkened as he stretched his hand and grazed my lips with his fingers, I trembled under his touch.His touch left me trembling on my bed.“How am I looking at you?” he asked me, his eyes fixated upon my lips.“Like you want to devour me, like you want to embrace me in a way where nobody could understan
I slumped down heavily on the floor as the door of my room burst open and werewolf warriors came inside.They searched the room through their eyes but found nothing, except the black mist. The residue of the confrontation between Morax and me.“We heard the noise,” The guard questioned as he looked at my slumped figure on the floor.I squeezed my eyes closed, my body feeling the weight of the fight that I had just fought.I just wanted to rest and sleep, maybe for a year.I opened my mouth to speak, to answer them, what really had transpired in the room. But apart from a hollow voice nothing came, my vision swam in front of my eyes. And the people I was seeing clearly were now just faceless figures, their images distorting.And with that without any prior warning, I just slumped down and fell asleep.I needed that rest, it was like someone just dragged into the dark abyss that was comforting and after weeks I was feeling safe, secure, and comfortable.After what felt like the most pea
