Chapter: Chapter 111: What if?~Storme~The moment Theo reminded me that I hated spicy food, I froze. It wasn't the words that startled me. it was the way he said them. Softly, like he was holding onto a truth he didn’t want to let go of. His eyes searched mine, concern bleeding through them.The truth was, I had no idea what was happening to me. The stomach cramps were becoming more frequent and sharper. It felt like something alive was clawing its way through me from the inside out. I rose to my feet, ignoring the pounding ache in my back, and walked slowly toward the tall window that overlooked the Pack grounds. My arms crossed over my stomach instinctively. I stood at the edge of my window, letting the cold breeze slap against my face. My stomach had twisted again this morning, a nauseating, clawing churn that made me gag before I even left my bed. I pressed a hand over my abdomen and swallowed hard. I’d been blaming my growing magical practice. I’d thought that maybe it was the mirror I shattere

Chapter: Chapter 110: Could it be?~Theo~It was too early in the day for my mind to feel this cluttered. But there I was, standing in the west garden under the golden light of morning, staring at the trimmed hedges like they held the answers to all my problems.Fred had been quiet for a while, his arms crossed, brow furrowed. He knew why I dragged him out here. He was just waiting for me to speak first. The weight in my chest made it hard to breathe, let alone talk. Still, the silence was unbearable."I think she knows," I finally said, voice low.Fred turned his head slightly. "Storme?"I nodded. My jaw clenched as I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. "She’s been distant. Cold. Hot and cold, really. One minute she looks at me like she wants to set the world on fire, the next she won’t even look at me. I think she’s figured it out."Fred exhaled through his nose, a slow release. “And you haven’t told her yet?""How can I?" I ran a hand through my hair. "How do I even begin to s

Chapter: Chapter 109~Storme~The slap was hard. It made my face sting. I stood still, holding my breath in hope that doing that would alleviate the pain. My head had turned from the hit and some of my haor got stuck near my mouth. My cheek hurt a lot, and it was getting warm. But I did not look up at him. I kept my eyes down. I had learned not to show my pain to him. if I cried or shouted, it would only make things worse. So I stayed quiet.I could hear him breathing. It was loud and angry. I knew that he waiting for me to react but I just stood there, frozen, my fingers shook a little, but I hid them behind my back and I bit down on my lips so that I wouldn’t cry."You disobeyed me," Alpha Marcellus growled. His voice echoed in the large room, bouncing off the walls like thunder. "I told you never to see my son again. And yet, I can smell him on you. Do you take me for a fool?"I pressed my lips together, forcing my hands to remain at my sides. The urge to claw the truth into his face

Chapter: Chapter 108: One more time~Storme~The next morning, the tangled sheets were a clear indication of what had transpired between us last night. I lay there, breathing as quietly as I could as my body tingled in places I hadn’t felt alive in for months.I glanced over at Theo, sleeping quite peacefully as always. His scent lingered in the air, and I couldn’t help reaching out to trace the curve of his thick brows. His touch had branded itself on my skin, and the memory of everything that he had done and said to me all through our passion made my chest tighten.But it wasn’t the pleasure that made my chest tighten. I had defied Marcellus. Again. And worse, I had done it so willingly. Theo had come to me in the night like a temptation that I couldn’t resist. The moment his lips found mine, every wall I’d spent weeks building had shattered. My body had betrayed my mind. I should have pushed him away, but instead, I had clung to him, desperate for the warmth only he could offer. Even as I looked a

Chapter: Chapter 107: Heat~Storme~The next few days passed in a blur. I focused on serving the king his usual dose of tea, making sure that he gets a little sip each day. Karen, on the other hand, hadn’t stopped bugging me even though I tried my best to avoid all her shenanigans. I wasn’t about to be distracted by her. Not now, or ever.I turned over the page of the new romance book that I was currently reading, cursing at the female lead who couldn’t quit making me worry about ever move that she makes. Grace moved around me, cleaning up my room for the night and making sure that everything was in order. Hopefully, this would be a night that I can rest peacefully without the alpha king demanding to see me on his bed.Because of the daily dose of tea, he hadn’t been as strong as he used to. I’ve seen him become out of breath after doing the slightest thing, and I’ve seen him subtly hide the blood that he had coughed out once or twice. The Pack doctor had examined him and promised that there was n

Chapter: Chapter 106: The first dose~Storme~It was finally time to carry out what I’d conceived all this while. It was finally time to begin my revenge on the king. Nervousness flicked in my belly. I pushed it down, focusing on the emotion that I was amassing into my palm.The flames went on and off as I stared into my open palm. It wasn’t enough to feel it anymore. I needed to see and control it. I closed my eyes, and inhaled deeply, reaching into that part of myself that I’d tried so much to hide. The one that itches when my emotions ran too high, and when rage curled around my chest like a noose.By the time I opened my eyes, I could feel the heat coming up in my palm. I controlled my breathing and kept visualizing the flame. Just like Geniee had taught me, I imagined that my palm was alive and obedient to my will.Soon enough, a small flame began dancing on my palm. It didn’t burn. It felt like warm steak, not enough to burn my hand, but also filled with so much magic that I almost couldn’t stand.

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
