Chapter: Chapter 97: I’ll be ready~Storme~It was already so late into the night, past the time a supposed queen was allowed to be outside the royal quarters, unless in times of emergencies. But there were no emergencies in the palace, and if I was caught, especially by the alpha king, there would be no way to escape punishment.At this time the king should have retired for the night, though. So, there was no threat to me if I safely make it to my room, which was still a minute’s walk from where I was.I hugged my arms to my chest, the thick grimoire hidden under my hoodie pressing into my ribs. My boots quietly landed on the steps as I climbed them slowly, my body still buzzing from the magic I'd unleashed tonight.I was almost two staircases to my room, before a voice cracked through the air."Where the hell have you been?"I froze, then turned slowly to meet the alpha king’s face, his brows drawn together.Shit. He was supposed to be in bed at this time. What was he doing up?I swallowed hard, willing myself to sta

Chapter: Chapter 96: Whispers of the Veil~Storme~I wasn't supposed to be out here.I wasn't supposed to be looking for her.I pulled my hoodie up as I crossed the back gardens of the Pack House, my boots crunching on the gravel. Even at night, the Pack House buzzed with life. The windows glowed with light, I could hear faint music somewhere in between, and some couple arguing nearby about infidelity, but I moved like a ghost through it all.Even though I wasn’t supposed to, I’d learned something in life. Sitting and waiting for the answers to come to you doesn’t work out so well. Sometimes, you need to take the step no matter how dangerous it would be, just the same way I’m taking some steps to Geniee’s place a few days after recovering."Geniee," I called out quietly when I spotted her near the west courtyard in front of her apartment.She was sitting, looking at something that looked like a book. When I called out her name, she looked up from a thick, leather-bound book resting on her lap and smiled faintly."You really c

Chapter: Chapter 95: Not yours~Theo~I returned to my room with a strange kind of hope burning in my chest. I hadn't felt it in days, not since the moment they dragged Storme away in chains. I knew it wasn’t going to be all rosy yet, but I was still hopeful.Seeing as the king hadn’t knocked down my room yet to see if it was true that Storme wasn’t in the dungeon, he must not have heard about the prison break that happened. Well, not a prison break in the real sense because I didn’t have to fight anyone, but still technically one.I’d decided to go straight to the kitchen to prepare food specially for my baby. It was meant to be a kind of surprise, since I wasn’t so sure if I’d actually made anything personally for her since we became a thing.The basket of food I carried was still warm against my hands, and in my mind, I pictured her smiling, maybe even laughing at how much I fussed over her. The thought made me walk faster.I pushed the door open, a small smile already tugging at my lips. But when my eyes landed

Chapter: Chapter 94: Choices II~Karen~He stepped closer, towering over her. "You will leave Theo on your own accord. Forever."Storme's fingers tightened on the blanket."You have a choice," the king said coldly, wasting no time. "Stay here and destroy Theo’s life… or leave him forever and walk free."Storme blinked, slow and heavy, like she wasn’t sure if she heard right."If you ever see him again," the king continued, voice sharp, "he will be stripped of his title, his fortunes, and his name. He’ll be nothing. The only thing that he'll be in this Tribe is a disgrace."Storme opened her mouth, but he cut her off with a flick of his hand. "You will not speak," he said. "Not until you understand what’s at stake."I watched her closely. She paled, her fingers trembling just slightly where they gripped the blanket."Do you love him enough," the king said, his voice dropping cruelly, "to ruin him?"Storme shook her head slowly, her hair falling across her face."Then you know what you must do," he said.He turned on

Chapter: Chapter 93: A choice~Karen~This had better be a fucking joke!It was supposed to be today. The day that I should be finally rid of that parasite in this palace. This palace should be rid of one irrelevant thing, but why was I hearing flying rumors about Theo taking someone out of the dungeon?I strode with purpose to the cell that she was supposed to be in, but there was nothing. Not even a shadow. The bitch had been taken out again. She had escaped on the day that was supposed to be her death day. Theo had gone overboard once more with the stupid witchy love of his.The king must not be aware of such development if he hadn’t said something. He must still think that the witch was still in er cell. I had to let him know of this development immediately. maybe he could force her out and order an immediate execution.With that in mind, I marched towards the king’s side of the palace. I found him in his study, hunched over a map, his hands pressing hard against the table."Your Majesty," I greeted, stepping

Chapter: Chapter 92: More than life~Storme~I woke to the sound of soft humming. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming again. Theo sat in the chair beside my bed, his eyes fixed on me, almost never blinking. I shifted, wincing as pain fired up my side."Hey," he said, voice rough."Hey," I rasped.He brushed his thumb along my cheekbone. "How do you feel now?""Like I got trampled on by a horse," I said dryly and shifted slightly, wincing. "Did you… stay up all night?"He nodded and leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. “I couldn’t sleep a wink. I had to make sure that you were okay all through the night.""You didn’t have to," I muttered, looking away."I did," he said simply. "I couldn’t leave you."His words warmed my heart. Theo was my safe space, and with him, I didn’t feel the need to be the hard, protective Storm. I felt like he could be my shield, and my refuge. I remembered something and a little smile crept up my face.“What,” Theo prompted.I peered at him through my lashes. “Were you singing me a lu

Chapter: Epilogue~Kira~It has been one hell of a week. I knew it wasn't going to be roses and unicorns. I knew that once I stepped foot into Crescent Pack, they would want to have my head. If it wasn't for Alpha Jake who was beside me, and all the warriors that he took from Half Moon Pack, then I would have been dead by now. It took some time to quiet everything down. They didn't trust me until I recounted the story that the witch told me and where my heritage came from. I wanted nothing more than for everyone to live in peace. I proposed a merger with Half Moon Pack which at first they all refused since both Packs had long been sworn enemies but since the Pack had no alpha, and Jayden was the one who was running everything, he decided for the elders of the council to conclude on what they wanted.Both Pack elders went into a meeting. The elders from Half Moon Pack and the elders from Crescent Pack all came together. It took a lot of convincing for them to finally agree to a merger. Jayden was sh

Chapter: Chapter 158: Revealed~Kira~"Don't worry my love, you don't have to be nervous about it. She isn't harmful, even though she may appear intimidating.” Jake said, rubbing my shoulders in reassurance. I gulped down my nervousness especially when the witch walked in.I was expecting to see a grouchy old lady, but she was quite young. I removed the hood from my head. I had insisted on it so that no one would recognize us. I am glad that Beta Aiden decided to look after Sawyer.She sat down in front of us. Her eyes widened when she made eye contact with me."I can say that I am quite surprised to see you, Alpha Jake. The last time you were here was to make an inquiry about how your late Luna couldn't give birth to your child. Now you are here with a much different wolf. A very powerful one at that. I never thought that you were still alive. I thought you had died." My hold on Jake tightened. She didn't mean it in a scary way but I still felt shivers run down my spine."What do you mean by that? Do you know w

Chapter: Chapter 157: The hunt~Kira~To say that I was surprised was an understatement. I always knew that Ella was all kinds of evil, but I never knew that she would go to the extent of trying to lace my drink with poison.I don't know how she drank the poison, but I am grateful to whoever swapped the drink. I have had a taste of what consuming wolfsbane felt like and it wasn't a good feeling. I was still astonished at how I survived that torture. Maybe because I wasn't forced to drink it but Ella wanted to kill me on the spot. She wanted to give me a humiliating death just the way she gave to that Councilman.It has been days since her funeral and the execution of the bodyguard who was her accomplice. I don't even know the man and yet he had so much grudge against me.Things were beginning to quiet down in the Pack. Even though people still talked about Ella's sudden death, all these things that had been going on made me realize something and I didn't want to waste any more time. I decided to accept Jake back

Chapter: Chapter 156: Judgment ~Jake~When I heard the loud thud and saw Ella passed out on the floor, I thought it was one of her little pranks for seeking attention. I was going to commend her for staying drama-free at this party, but I guess I was too quick to speak.When I noticed that it wasn't a prank, and something was really wrong with her, I rushed towards her but Aiden was already there. With the help of some guests, Ella was moved into her room where the Pack doctor examined her.I thought that maybe she was sick or wasn't feeling well, but when he told me that Ella had consumed a large amount of wolfsbane, I was shocked.wolfsbane was banned from the Pack ages ago, so where the hell did that come from? And of all places, it had to be the party that I was throwing for Kira. Was someone trying to sabotage me purposely?He said there was no way to save her and that the poison was already spreading to her heart. I watched as Ella convulsed to death, the look of anguish on her face. I knew that she didn't w

Chapter: Chapter 155: Reverse ~Ella~This party was a colossal waste of time. The bitch has rarely stood up from her seat. She was supposed to be up and about so that she would take the poisoned drink that I'd arranged, from the server close to her.I couldn't take my eyes off her because I didn't want to miss the death show that was about to happen. All I needed her to do was take that glass of wine.She mingled with just a few people, but everyone wanted to talk to her. They were treating her as if she was some sort of celebrity and I know that she was loving the attention even though she pretended not to do so.What a sneaky little snake. Girls like Kira were so easy to predict. I knew that she had sex with Alpha Jake. Even though she pretended to hate him, she wouldn't waste any time spreading her legs for that jerk.I couldn't wait for the highlight of this party. Kira would soon be taken out as a corpse. In her next miserable life, she would wish that she had never met Alpha Jake or been his mate. Kira did

Chapter: Chapter 154: The last time~Kira~I never thought that I would ever have sex with Alpha Jake again but I can't say that I regretted it. There was this burning desire in me that I have been pushing away ever since I came back to Half Moon Pack, but yesterday I decided to give in to it and I can say that it was one of the best nights of my life.I knew that I had been lying to myself all this while, that somewhere within me I still had feelings for him.Well, since the moon goddess loves to play with me a lot, I decided that I have had enough of pushing Alpha Jake away. I was going to embrace my feelings for him.I accepted the idea of having a party for me and Sawyer. I just didn't expect a lot of people to turn up. I was hoping that not a lot of people would show up for the party but it seems as if everyone wanted to get a glimpse of Luna Kira, Alpha Jake's former mate whom he rejected.I know they were all waiting for some kind of drama. Maybe they were hoping for Alpha Jake to call all this a prank.I could
