Chapter: Chapter-52Kara’s POV.I was in a room, bound to a chair. I couldn’t move, not even an inch. The door that led to the room was locked from the outside, I could just tell, and I was gagged, so I couldn’t even scream for help. The room was dark, except for a single, bright moonbeam that flitted in from a hole in the boarded-up window. I didn’t know how I got here, or when it had happened, but I knew that it was bad. How could I not, when I’ve been bound so?Then, suddenly, the door started to open. The locks disengaged from the outside, and the door opened with an ominous creak. I held my breath as a familiar shape stepped out of the darkness and into the moonbeam. Behind my gag, I screamed because that man was Derrick. Derrick grinned, and it was inhuman. His mouth stretched far too wide, and his eyes were large as saucers, cracked with red as if he hadn’t been sleeping for a long while. “Told you!” He gasped. “Told you I’d get you back.” And then he started towards me…That’s when I woke u

Chapter: Chapter-51Jade’s POV.After we returned to our hotel room, Derrick cleaned off the minibar while cursing Kara’s name. To help him, I ordered a few more bottles of alcohol to be sent up to our room, and by the time midnight rolled along, Derrick was drunk.Not drunk enough to fall asleep, of course, that wouldn’t do. But he was certainly drunk enough to lose his inhibitions. He’d gone out of steam a long time ago, cursing Kara’s name, and started sobbing for her.It was really pathetic.“How could she just move on like that?” he asked me, voice shaking with tearless sobs. “And with someone like that? She could just make us all believe she’s dead and leave to live a life on her own. Doesn’t she care about the guilt we carry? Doesn’t she think we care?”“I hate what she’s doing to you,” I murmured and rubbed his back soothingly. “Kara doesn’t d

Chapter: Chapter-50Kara’s POV.Derrick was like a man possessed as he tried to hit Axel over and over. Axel again, for his part, managed to dodge some of Derrick’s punches, but one caught him in the mouth and split his lip. He did not fight back, which was smart because that meant no one would see him as violent, and that first punch would be forgiven.Still, I was so angry that I wanted to join the fight myself, but that would not go well. So, I tried my best to pull Axel away from Derrick, while Jade tried to do the same.But then, security rushed in.The burly men in uniform managed to pull them away from each other in record time, and Derrick hurled expletives at everyone within reach. The security guards tried to calm him down, but he didn’t listen to them. Instead, he tried to break off from their hold and rush at me.People were filming the whole thing with glee, and everyone recognized Derrick. That meant this would definite

Chapter: Chapter-49Kara’s POV.I didn’t really want to go to the Conference Conclusion Celebration, or the CCC as everyonecalled it. It was supposed to be a party that was just a tad less glamorous to be a gala, but extravagant as well.After everything that happened because of that blasted conference, I honestly wanted nothing to do with it. If I hadn’t been there, then Derrick wouldn’t have seen me. If Derrick hadn’t seen me, then he wouldn’t have fixed on me. Although Terra assured me that everything was alright, that Derrick hadn’t said anything in protest and Whitney Conglomerate had gone so far as to apologize and refuse the refund, asking Terra to take it as compensation (a bribe, actually, to make sure we don’t go to the media with Derrick’s misdeeds), still, I felt paranoid, like it wasn’t really over.“What if he decides to come too, Axel?” I asked my friend at lunchtime when h

Chapter: Chapter-48Jade’s POV.The ring on my doorbell was unexpected on a weekday, so when I heard the sound, I nearly flinched.I’d spend the whole evening internet-stalking Derrick Whitney, trying to see if he had truly moved on from me and what happened with Kara. I had been dreading the day he found a new girlfriend, because that would be detrimental to me.After Kara’s death, Derrick started to unravel. He looked at me with suspicion, and it seemed like he was finally understanding what I’d done to distance him from his wife. He didn’t know what exactly I’d done, but he’d guessed some of it, and no matter how much I tried, I could era the suspicion from his eyes.So, in the end, about a month after Derrick and Kara’s villa went up in flames, Derrick told me that he couldn’t stand to be with me anymore. Apparently, it felt like a slight against Kara’s memory.Like, it was already to cheat on Kara with me when she was alive, but it was only a slight after she died? It was absurd. I tried so hard to

Chapter: Chapter-47Derrick’s POV.“Harassment, Derrick?!” My grandmother screamed as soon as she stormed into my office. I was already sporting a headache, thanks to the board meeting I’d just attended, and I didn’t have the patience for my grandmother’s dramatics.“Grandma?” I exclaimed. “Why are you here?”“I’m still the majority shareholder of this company, so the board deemed it necessary to get me involved, because this affair pertains to the image of our company. If this woman decides to go to the press with the story of what you did, it’s not just you who’s going to be in trouble, but all of us! Which leads me to my initial question. Derrick, what possessed you to make you do this kind of thing?!”“Can we not do this right now?” I asked, but it was pointless. If anything, that question made her angrier.“No, you gave up that luxury the moment you decided that it was appropriate to treat a young woman you paid to do a job in this manner.”I bit my tongue to keep myself from blurting out that I had

Chapter: Chapter: 76Alexander After Brooke and I have a lengthy conversation, I go to my late father's room. I can still feel his presence lingering, but it is faint. I place my desk, which was once a symbol of authority, but now seems cold and lifeless without Maddox behind it. My fingers graze the edges of a half-burnt letter tucked away in one of the drawers. It is my father's handwriting—sharp, commanding, yet eerily familiar."You’ll never understand responsibility until you bear the weight of a crown," my father had written in one of his many stern notes. I clench my jaw, the words igniting a bitter ache in my chest.I sink into the worn leather chair by the window, the weight in my chest heavier than ever. I look at the empty armchair across from me, the one my father used to occupy during our countless arguments.The words of Brooke linger in my mind; I really can’t tell what he is planning, but I know for sure that it isn't a good one.The creak of the door makes me arch my brow as I wonder who

Chapter: Chapter: 75Brooke“My wolf? I can talk to you?” I ask, in disbelief, waiting patiently for a response, but everything feels blank; I can't hear nor feel ‘my wolf.’“Are you there?” I reached inward, to the place where her presence always lingered—a tether to my wolf. But instead of the warm, steady pulse I expected, I found only an endless void, cold and empty.“Talk to me, please,” I beg desperately, but no response; slowly, I feel my eyes turning slowly; the world around me seems to move in haphazard directions, one I can't control.The void in my mind felt like a heavy fog, suffocating every thought I tried to form. My chest tightened as I reached out again, my voice trembling in the silence.But instead, “Where are you?” was the voice, my voice ringing in my head.“Are you okay?” I hear a soft voice from behind me, holding onto me tightly.“Yes, thank you so much,” I say, slowly clearing my eyes.“Thank you,” I add again, this time looking hopeful to see who has helped me.“You…what are you?”

Chapter: Chapter: 74Brooke.It's has been three days since the death of Alpha Maddox Blackwood of the Lunar Legacy pack. The air of the environment has never been the same since his death; it is thick and heavy, and the birds have stopped singing. The sun has refused to shine, while the moon has refused to come out from the face of the earth. The people of Lunar Legacy aren't left out, as everyone is in black attire, with ashes covering their bodies as a result of the death of their Alpha, a ritual in the Lunar Legacy pack.The mansion is worse in comparison; the usual bustling and rumbling aren't heard anywhere, and everyone is in the mourning session for the Alpha, including the maids, servants, and livestock.I, on the other hand, have been in my room since the night of the accusations. I can't bring myself to come out to defend Alexander, not that I don't know he is innocent of the accusations, but because I've been tongue-tied and also because coming to terms with this is just too hard for me.Maddox

Chapter: Chapter: 73AlexanderThe mansion hall was eerily quiet, the air was something darker than grief. The weight of their stares pressed against my chest, and I could feel their doubt hanging in the air, sharper than Carter’s accusations.Carter stood in the center of the room, his face a mask of disgust. In his hands, a bloodied sword and a ring dangled, dripping onto the once-gleaming floor“Here!” He says, breaking the silence, “Look at this.”My chest tightened.“What are you saying, Carter?” I ask, confused at the same time, trying to keep my voice steady.The room erupts into low whispers, as all eyes and fingers point towards the ring and sword with Carter.“Does that not belong to him?”“Yes, I saw that ring when they tried to attack us.”“How could he do such a vile thing?”“Silence!” I shout in rage. I can't believe the comments I’m hearing, that I have killed my father, painting me as a murderer.“Do you think you're the one in charge here, brother?” Carter says his eyes are full of disgust

Chapter: Chapter: 72AlexanderHer laugh echoes in my ears as we talk. One thing I'm grateful to the moon goddess for is that we start to talk more to each other and bond. It's getting less awkward.“You can't be serious. How did he know?” she says, half-laughing.“Well, you know, people like that, I mean the Alphas, we can't keep things away from them,” I explained.It's been three hours plus, and all we've been doing is laughing and also telling her about the funny and iconic historical moments in our pack; seeing her light up with joy makes every second worth it.“By the way, where are Alpha and Carter?” she asks.“Oh, then they went for the monthly check-up and hunting around the pack; they should be back by dawn,” I replied. A minute of silence in between; it isn't an awkward one, but rather a soothing one before her voice cuts in.“I'm really glad that Carter is changing this time, for real,” her voice breaks through the silence.“Ohh, Carter. I hope his change is genuine,” I reply, clutching my hand

Chapter: Chapter: 71Brooke Today marks three days since I was discharged by Dale. He had emphasized repeatedly: Avoid triggers. Anything that stirs old wounds or unsettles you. I’ve been trying my best to follow his advice, but it hasn’t been easy. Alex has been by my side constantly, protective as always, but still refusing to tell me everything that happened.I sit outside, staring at the gentle sway of tree branches in the breeze. The garden feels like a sanctuary, its stillness soothing, yet my mind remains a storm.“How are you, girl?” I hear that familiar voice from behind me.It was Jenna.“I'm good, just here,” I say with a smile.“You look like you are carrying the whole weight of the world on you and thinking about how to navigate through it,” she says, looking worried.Well, I can't deny the fact that I have a lot going through my mind at this point in my life. The memories of what had happened during the dining came back to my head, and I can’t just help but think I'm not safe again; I rememb

Once A Luna, Now A Stealer?
Even if he hated me, I couldn’t look away from him. Even if he called me an imposter, a trickster, all I could think of was how alluring his scent was. Even when he was ready to take my sister’s words over mine, I couldn’t help falling for him.
I wanted him to take me in his arms and tell me that the last few weeks had been a dream after all. That he loved me, like a true mate would. I wanted him to be my prince charming. To be my salvation.
But that was not my fate. Goddess forbid if I had anything easy in life!
Sometimes, I truly believed that this mate bond was the curse. Not my being the Stealer.
Callista Leander turned eighteen with hopes of finding her happily ever after. But instead, she was left locked in a tower of a castle, doomed to be married off to her true mate’s feral brother to save him from certain death.
All because of one curse and a conniving sister. Her life was suddenly filled with betrayals and secrets, and in every corner she looked, danger lurked. Now, with the whole world against her. At the mercy of an angry king, her oblivious one true mate, will she make it out alive on the other side?

Chapter: 322. EpilogueCallistaTen years later.I stand in front of Lily Lane Pup Daycare after ending my workday at Rexellen University, holding a stack of books in my arms trying to shove them into the backpack I’ve taken with me.It’s three in the evening, and the kids should be out in a few minutes.It’s summer again, the weather is pleasantly warm, and everything brims with life. There are bees flying everywhere, suckling nectar out of the numerous fully blossomed Leanderrs.The Rexellen pack town is as busy as ever, with people bustling around after clocking off from work, going on their errands, and their outings.Everyone seems happy, and they’re open and very friendly.Upon noticing me, everyone who passes greets me with a simple.“Good evening, Luna!”“Good evening to you too!” I always greet back.Some parents stop by near the daycare to collect their children, and we start pleasantly conversing with each other.I’ve been the Luna Queen of the Rexellen pack for ten years now, and honestly, those

Chapter: 321. CeremonyCallistaFour weeks later.I walk down the shoveled path with a single lily flower in my hand, a smile on my lips, and my heart overflowing with joy.I’m dressed in an ankle-length, heavy-set gown that accentuates my form as if it had been sewn with me in my mind.It’s a silverish white in color in accordance with tradition, and a million tiny rhinestones create spiraling patterns all over the skirt. The long sleeves and the woolen cloak that accompany them give me warmth on the cold winter night.On my neck, there is a white gold necklace with a diamond as the pendant, the only piece of jewelry I wear, which is a gift from the witches who'd arrived a day before to celebrate the ceremony.The mating ceremony for Theon and me.In the background, a string quartet, comprised of two maids of the Rexellen pack castle and two guards, plays a tune that I can't quite name but can’t help but think is so apt for the situation.On either side of me, my closest friends whom I consider my family s

Chapter: 320. Gift, not CurseCallistaA week later.Valencia Everhart was sentenced to life in prison by the Supernatural Council for assisting the devil in his criminal endeavors such as kidnapping and harboring a werewolf, orchestrating a pack takeover on the orders of the devil, attempted killing of two pack members of the Rexellen pack and the biggest crime of them all, assisting the devil in massacring the entire Galdine pack.I thought the last one was a bit harsh because Valencia never really did know about that charge, but as Valencia had confessed in the court, she’d given the devil the location and information regarding her pack.She had been under the impression the devil was going to protect the Galdine pack from Theon’s retaliation against the pack takeover, but she’d been lied to.We attended the court on the same day as Valencia did, and I’m sure that the cries that ravaged her as she learned the horrible fate that befell her pack would never stop haunting my nightmares.I felt sorry for her, and a

Chapter: 319. AfterlifeCallistaQaetanya and Xaveraq reached the afterlife together.One was willing, the other was not. One sacrificed herself, while the other, well, I had to kill the other.Xaveraq’s soulless body lays in the circular chamber, and I don’t look at it again as we exit the room, both of us still in wolf forms.I feel numb as we stumble out of the temple as soon as possible after I release the devil’s and the deviless’s souls into the gateway.None of us speak, although I could feel everyone except Theon patiently waiting for the right moment. They look stunned as we walk through the doorway. For a moment I’d been afraid the doorway wouldn’t be present because of it being only shown with the blessing of a devil and all, but fortunately, it stands.As soon as we all exit the temple doorway, it starts to shudder. And then the most bizarre thing happens.Numerous high-pitched screams ring through the air, and greyish white mist starts to shoot from all directions towards the doorway, getting su

Chapter: 318. DefeatTheonI can’t process half the things that are happening as I stand outside the little circular room, trying and failing to get in.One moment, Callista is being choked by the devil, and the next moment, in the place of Callista, stands a majestic white wolf! The wolf shimmers as if she were the Moon Goddess herself in wolf form, stepping down from the moon to aid us in our time of need.But when the wolf looks at me for the briefest moment and howls in ecstasy, I realize that this wolf is no Goddess.That’s my mate!After months, no, years, of agonizing, Callista has finally found her wolf.But then she turns towards Xaveraq and leaps towards him with no hesitation.My scream deafens my own ears, wondering what the hell she was doing. I witness the whole scene as if it’s unfolding in slow motion.As Callista nears the devil, whose shadows are closing in on her to consume her, a flash of blinding white light erupts from her, filling the room with a glow akin to the sun.I shield my e

Chapter: 317. AmazedQaetanyaHer wolf is beautiful, reminiscent of the first wolfwoman I met in the forests of Gaul all those years ago.She is larger than most wolves, were-creature or otherwise, and when she stands, she cuts a majestic figure, even in the confines of the squat, circular room. Her coat is a silverish white, and it glistens as if it was created by moonlight, as if the Goddess molded the wolf herself.Her emerald eyes shine as she stares at Xaveraq in confusion, and amazement, stunned to her very core.She can’t still process that after years of hope and dream, she’d finally transformed into her secondary form.I had watched her wolf grow from a pup to an adult within her as I was trapped in her mind ever since she was born. Throughout the three thousand years I’ve been with Callista’s bloodline, I’ve witnessed hundreds of pups being born within the babies, but never have I seen a wolf as beautiful as this one.Even I was in awe when she first appeared, sleeping soundly, growing along wit
