ALARIC.I have lost, but not completely. Gina did come to see me three nights ago, the night I saw her with that weird-looking man. I couldn’t hold it in, seeing my wife walking around with another man trying to protect her, from me. But I am her brother here, that’s what everyone thinks. After the incident with the man, I went back to my room, lit only by two candlesticks. It was dark and so were my thoughts. I waited for her to come just as she had promised and she did.A knock on the door got me flying to open the door and there she was, standing like she had done a perfect rehearsal on how to face me.I didn’t know how to react to seeing her with another man and I didn’t want to do anything wrong anymore. Legally, we are still married, unless it becomes a rumor that she was not Gina, she was Freya. I am getting used to knowing her to be both now. It’s not really all that bad and I might be the worst villain in all these.I wanted her back, I needed her. She didn’t look into my ey

ZACK.I cleared my throat and stood in front of Gina, I felt her heartbeat race the moment she saw the man standing in front of me. He was angry, visibly angry and his eyes were tearing me apart. Gina tugged on my shirt and asked that I not meddle with what was going on.“It is nothing, Zack. He is just my…” she looked at the man and I could swear I saw her suck in a tear. She was trying her best to act…normal.“It doesn’t matter who he is to you, Gina. Hold Kelvin tight. Let’s see, who are you?” I asked again, stepping closer to him. He was about my height but he did not hit the gym like I do. I tilted my head and waited for him to work his frustration out on me then I would be sure to cause a scene.“He is my brother, Zack,” Gina said but remained behind me.“I already said it doesn’t matter who he is to you. He is commanding so much in you. You were almost trembling and your heart raced when you saw him. You are holding back your tears and that is not fine by me. Tell me, is he abu

ALARIC.It’s been a few days and my heart still aches from not seeing Gina…Freya…I sank in my chair in my room right before the mirror. I can never get used to this. Have I done too much now? I don’t even run into her again. She doesn’t come to check me in my room and she never reaches out to me over the phone. Was it that simple to get over someone you have claimed to love?Diane had been a good friend of mine since we came here and I have been using her as a way to get back at Freya, she deserved it. Even though I would not be with her again, I wanted her to feel the pain.Somehow, I know I don’t want to see her with Rowan. Why would she get her life back after ruining mine? My Gina was gone and Freya could have killed her to use her body.But she came all the way to save me while I was in trouble. She probably did it for her interest. I need to see her very fast. I should let her know how worthless she is to me now, or maybe I just wanted to talk to her. She still has Gina’s body a

FREYABetween last night and this morning, there have been notable changes in the way I feel. I went back to my room and picked up my pouch bag. I didn’t know how the day was going to play out but I had a great feeling about it.I hurried back after taking the grey pouch bag and clipping it around my waist. When I got back to Rowan’s room, Beta James was already done with him and was heading outside. “Don’t forget to meet me in the evening, if you owe me one,” Beta James said with a wink. I didn’t know he was serious about meeting me, I thought it was a mere joke and it was all done and gone. I looked inside and saw that Rowan was also about to leave. “Gina, I hope you heard what I just said,” Beta James repeated and I nodded like my head was about to fly off my neck so he could leave me alone. He smiled and tapped my shoulder in a friendly way. I liked how vibrant he was when he was around me.I went inside and saw Kelvin already dressed. I had picked out the complete outfit befor

ROWANI could barely breathe, having her so close to me. Her eyes shimmered in the dark and those glowing eyes looked up at me, wanting, maybe. Oh, I really hoped she felt it too, all the emotions running through me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I leaned forward and closed my eyes raising her chin–“Papa!” Kelvin’s voice got me so scared, I immediately dismembered myself from Gina and gave her some space but it was already too late, the boy was looking up at me, at us, exchanging his glances with Gina and then looking back at me. “Papa?” He said with a lower voice and came to hide behind me, hugging my leg. His cheeks flushed and he was looking at Gina from the space between my legs.“Who is she? She is not Mama,” he said and peeped at Gina again. Gina seemed embarrassed a little bit but looking at Kelvin, her red cheeks disappeared and she was now cheerful, not embarrassed. I sighed and took Kelvin to my bed and tucked him in.“She is the new lady who is going to be taking care of yo

FREYA.Walking into the dining hall, I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, or perhaps I was just overthinking the situation. The chandeliers above glowed with golden light, casting a soft warmth over the tables filled with guests. Everything was perfect—perfectly orchestrated, perfectly beautiful, perfectly suffocating.Again, this is where I grew up and I used to be the mother of the pack. I used to enjoy the songs and the dances whenever it was time for dinner. I always dreamt of staying here with my children and making them learn to blow a flute before they grow too old and seek lives of their own.But those were just dreams, weren’t they? Dreams that would never come true. My legacy would never be passed.I glanced around the room, searching for something familiar, something that would make me feel less like I was drowning in a sea of people who didn’t even know me and at the same time, knew me very well. Then I saw him—Rowan. For a moment, a flicker of hope shot through me, a remi

~GiaSix months pregnant, Oh and add my new title, Luna as toppings but goodness! I'm still learning what it meant to lead—my life was nothing like it was a year ago.I stood on the balcony of our quarters, one hand on my swollen belly, supporting it. At times, I'll have a lurch like it's about to fall off. Pregnancy anxiety that's what they called it.The mated shewolves on the other hand? Whisper it as the devil's emotions. Out of control. Like a speeding train with a failed break. In short words, disaster in a nice package. Thankfully this package only lasts for 9 months. I did the maths. 3 months remaining.Levi has been encouraging me to mix in with other she-wolves."For education" he called it.And now as I stood watching the pack grounds below. Wolves going about their evening routines. Children playing. Warriors training. Just… life going on. The kind of peace we worked our backs off to keep steady."You're thinking too loud," Levi said, joining me. His arms wrapped around m

~Gia"It's bloody hot." That was my first comment the moment my eyes went past the window. Outside.'If this is the sun's way of congratulating me I'll rather not have it.'"Luna see it as the sun's blessing," one of the persons helping me get dressed commented.I’d been awake since before sunrise, nerves twisting my stomach even though the baby kept kicking like nothing was wrong. Today wasn’t normal. Today everything felt like it was shifting under my feet. Today I stopped being just Levi’s mate and stepped into something heavier. Something real.“You need to eat,” Madeleine said as she brought in a tray. She’d been with me all morning, brushing my hair, setting out things, breathing whenever I forgot to. “You can’t stand through that whole ceremony with an empty stomach.”“I can’t keep anything down. Baby or nerves, I don’t know which one is the problem.”“Try anyway. A little.” She sat beside me. “Gia, you’re going to be fine. You always handle things even when you think you can’t

~GiaFour months into the pregnancy, My baggy tops lost their purpose. I could no longer hide behind loose clothing. Not that I wanted too in the first place.My belly had grown round and prominent—there was no hiding it anymore. The pack had embraced the news with joy.They hosted a party. Danced till the moon gave way to the sun stumbling home drunk.But after the smiles came the suffering. Class. They said I have to have learn the ways of the Luna.And that's what we are doing now."You need to understand the judicial system," Elder Marcus said, spreading papers across the table in the council room. "As Luna, you have the authority to pass judgment on pack matters. Especially those involving females and children."I stared at the document. pack laws, precedents, traditional rulings. Years and years of rules I was suddenly supposed to understand.My eyes spun in circles."This is overwhelming," I admitted. "I barely finished school. I'm not educated enough for this.""Knowing books

~MadisonI stood at the edge of pack territory, a single bag slung over my shoulder, watching the sunrise paint the sky in shades of gold and pink.Beautiful. Deceptive. Too calm for the way my life had fallen apart."You have until the sun is fully risen," the guard said behind me. Not unkindly, but firm. "Then the banishment takes full effect. Any wolf who sees you on pack lands after that can enforce the exile. By any means necessary.""I understand." My voice was hollow. Empty. All the fight had drained out of me days ago when they'd dragged Alan's body from the challenge circle.Dead. Alan was dead. And with him died all my dreams of becoming Luna. Of having power. Of mattering.Now I was nothing. Nobody. Just another exile with nowhere to go."For what it's worth," the guard continued, "I'm sorry. About how things turned out. You weren't as bad as Alan. You were just... misguided."Misguided. That's what they were calling it. As if falling in love with the wrong wolf, believing

~LeviI don't think I've ever told Hia how beautiful her laughter is.It's like little bells ringing. Pleasant to my ears.It's been a while since I heard her laugh now that I think about it. At some point she had stopped smiling. Stopped laughing maybe it's because of everything that was happening. Everything was just too much.Self blame welled up in my chest. 'Am I that incompetent? Not to notice it until now'Her laughter sounded sudden then it was stifled. Like it was something she didn't plan.I opened my eyes to find her sitting up in bed, her hand on her stomach, grinning down at herself."What's so funny?" I asked, my voice rough with sleep."The baby hiccupped. Or kicked. Or something." Her eyes were bright with wonder. She didn't care about the wordings "I felt it. An actual movement. Real proof a little someone is actually growing."I sat up immediately, all drowsiness out through the window my hand covered hers. "Can I feel?""I don't know if it's strong enough yet for y

~GiaSomeone was running outside the house.Levi was already awake beside me, his body tense. Through the bond, I felt his alertness. His concern."What's happening?" I whispered."I don't know. But something's wrong." He was already moving, pulling on clothes. "Stay here. Lock the door behind me.""Like hell I'm staying here." I got up too, ignoring my still-healing wounds. "We're bonded deeply, remember? Whatever's happening, we face it together."Through the bond, I felt his conflict. His desire to protect me warring with his understanding that I was right. We were partners now—both responsible, not one shielding the other."Together then," he conceded. "But stay close."We emerged into the hallway to find it filled with wolves. Guards. Elders. All moving with urgent purpose.Garrett appeared, his expression grim. "We have a situation. Alan's supporters—Derek and the others who sided with him—they're trying to flee pack territory. But they're not going quietly.""What do you mean?"
