- Maive's POV -I froze when I felt a sudden hand grip my shoulder. My heart leapt, pounding violently against my ribs, and I spun around in fear.The woman who had touched me quickly withdrew her hand, startled by my reaction.I exhaled shakily, relief washing over me when I realized it wasn’t one of the men I had feared—it was a woman. Still, my body trembled, slow to recover from the jolt of terror.“You seemed to be new here,” she said, her eyes sweeping over me from head to toe as if memorizing every detail of my face.I nodded politely. “Yes. I’m… I’m still not familiar with this place.”Her beauty was undeniable. Wavy hair framed her delicate features, and in her hands she carried plastic bags filled with groceries. Despite her soft appearance, there was a sharpness in her gaze that made me feel as though she could see more than she was saying.“You should be careful,” she advised gently, her voice carrying weight. “There are drunkards who linger in this alley. You shouldn’t pa

- Vera's POV -I immediately answered the call from an unknown number, fully aware of who it was. My heart pounded as the screen glowed, my fingers trembling when I pressed accept.“My Lord…” I whispered in a polite tone as soon as I lifted the phone to my ear.To be honest, a large part of me was afraid of him. Who wouldn’t be? Everyone fears him. All creatures do.“It has been a while. Anything new?” His cold voice crawled through the line, slicing straight through my bones.“E-Everything is smooth, My Lord. It all goes according to your plan…” My voice shook as I forced myself to speak, my eyes drifting to the girl Arman had brought us. “She’s doing great,” I added quickly when I saw her laughing softly with Tobias outside, her innocence unknowing of the shadows that hovered over her life.“You must take care of her.”The order was sharp. Unbending. Yet beneath the ice in his tone, I could feel it... sincerity. Concern. A strange warmth buried in all that darkness.“As you wish, My

"Maive!"I heard Uncle Silas scream my name. My eyes flew open, and I was shocked to find myself perfectly standing on the ground. Not a scratch, not even a single sign of pain from what should have been a deadly fall. My mouth opened wide in disbelief. I was sure. I was completely sure that I was going to break my bones, that I was going to die from the height I jumped. Yet here I was, alive, steady on my feet as if my body had suddenly turned weightless.How?My heart pounded so loudly it almost deafened me. The memory of the snake on the branch flashed before my eyes, the terror of its fangs made my knees feel weak. I hugged the cat tighter, as if its tiny body was the only proof that I was still alive."Are you alright?" Uncle Silas rushed toward me, worry filling his voice. He checked my arms, my legs, as if expecting blood and fractures.I nodded, though my whole body was trembling. Inside, I was still falling. The fear had not left, but something else was stronger—confusion. Th

- Maive's POV - This time, I saw it. A woman standing a few feet away, staring straight at me. But her eyes… they weren’t just curious. They were sharp. Confused. Almost afraid.Her gaze dropped to my neck.My breath caught. Instinctively, I lifted my hand and covered the right side of my neck… the place where the bite mark was.The mark from that night.My body froze. My heart pounded in my ears.Had she seen it? Did she know?Aunt Vera noticed my movement. She looked at me, her eyes dark with unspoken thoughts. She wanted to ask. I could feel it. But she said nothing.Her silence hurt more than words.We eventually left the market and started walking home. I helped her carry the bags, though my arms trembled from the weight. It was the least I could do.But Aunt Vera was quiet. Too quiet. Her mind was elsewhere, and I knew it had to do with that woman’s stare… and the bite mark on my neck.I followed in silence, afraid to ask, afraid of the answers.Suddenly, a voice rang out. “Aun

Maive’s POVI cried until my throat hurt. I missed my arrogant brother, who always teased me. I missed my father, whose arms were once the safest place in the world. Now both were gone.When the first light of dawn crept through the window, I forced myself up. The old couple was still asleep and so I walked quietly into the living room, observing their small but warm home.“You’re up early.”I froze. The voice came from behind me. Uncle Silas stood there, his eyes puffy with sleep.I nodded weakly, not trusting my voice.He walked past me to the small table, uncovering the dishes Aunt Vera had set the night before. “You didn’t eat?”My stomach twisted in guilt. “I-I forgot to,” I admitted. The truth was, I had been too shy… too broken to touch their food. My appetite was gone anyway.He gave me a small smile and patted my head. “Treat us like family, Maive.”Those words hit me harder than I expected. My father used to say the same. My throat tightened, and I quickly lowered my gaze, a

- Maive’s POV -I knew that once I took more steps, my life would change forever.The old couple welcomed me without asking any questions, no questions about the blood on my clothes, no questions about why I was running down the road like a lost animal. Instead, they simply opened their doors and smiled at me with warmth I hadn’t felt in so long. Their kindness felt so unreal, almost suspicious. But they didn’t ask. And I was thankful, because I didn’t even know how to explain myself. How could I tell them the truth without scaring them away? How could I open my mouth without breaking down?Maybe they were just good people. Maybe they didn’t need to know.“You’ll be safe here,” the woman whispered softly, her hand brushing my arm as if I were fragile glass that might break at the slightest touch. Perhaps that was exactly how I looked... too weak, too broken, too pitiful to be left alone. Her smile was gentle, steady. I didn’t realize until that moment how much I had longed for such a s

- Clary's POV -I have never thought deeply about what comes after this life. I don’t know if there is a God, a Goddess, or some higher power watching everything we do. I don’t know if there’s a next life waiting. But if reincarnation exists, if we truly return again and again, then I wish it would be a life that rewards those who lived decent and righteous lives. A life that treats people fairly.But maybe that was too much to hope for. Maybe in my past life, I was a monster. Maybe I was the black sheep, the sinner who betrayed everyone. Maybe that is why I was punished and reborn into this life... a life filled with pain, rejection, and misery.None of it made sense. None of my thoughts could answer why I was forced into this world where I was always treated like trash. All I ever wished for was to live a life worth something, even if it wasn’t special. I didn’t dream of power. I didn’t dream of being strong. I only wanted to be accepted, to be seen, to not be treated as worthless.

‘Clary!’‘Clary!’'Clary!’I snapped out of my senses after multiple desperate attempts of Cordia to call me. My vision cleared, and I found myself trembling in Darren’s arms. His strong frame shielded me from the chaos of the crowd, and his warmth was the only thing keeping me from collapsing on the cold concrete floor of the stadium. He was literally hugging me, his arms tight around me as though afraid I might vanish.“What happened? You’ve been trembling.” His voice was full of tenderness, but also fear.I tried to speak, but my lips quivered. My whole body wouldn’t stop shaking. The rage of my mother’s voice still echoed in my skull. Her fury had pierced straight through me. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to collapse, to run far away from this kingdom, to disappear where no one could ever find me.My mother would never forgive me after this. I just looked at Alpha, and yet she reacted as if I had committed the worst crime against her. What have I done to make her so a

- Maive's POV - The selection had begun, and I bit my lip as my eyes focused on the center of the stadium. The announcer stood tall, his voice echoing across the entire place. A black tattoo ran across his left arm, proof that he was a servant of the leaders. Every leader bore a unique mark, and those who served them carried symbols of their loyalty.“For the first battle, Darren Cyprus and Kyle Wixx!”I exhaled in relief. My name wasn’t called. Not yet. My heart pounded so hard in my chest, I thought it would betray my fear. Losing on the first round would be humiliating. It would shame not only me but the name of my family.‘You can beat them with your mind, Clary. Stop being so pessimistic,’ Cordia whispered inside my head.‘I’m weak, Cordia. You know that. Mind alone isn’t enough against them.’I was the smartest girl in the kingdom, but what was intelligence compared to raw strength? To skill? In this place, strength decided survival. Strength decided worth.Darren caught my gaz

'Mate!' Cordia exclaimed, her voice echoing inside me, making my world explode in light.'Cordia!' I gasped. ‘Where the hell have you been? I’ve been searching for you, I thought I lost you.’Her whimper reached me, weak and guilty, but my eyes… my eyes couldn’t move away from him. From my mate. I knew he was my mate.‘I’m so sorry, Clary,’ Cordia whispered, trembling. ‘I don’t know what happened. The last thing I remember was falling asleep… how long have I been gone?’I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. My eyes were locked on him. On the Alpha. Why did the Goddess choose him for me? Why him? Was he truly mine or was I just stealing what belonged to Andrea? No… I could feel the pull. The heat in my veins. The bond wrapping me like chains. The pull that was screaming at me to claim him. To own him.‘It’s been a month, Cordia,’ I answered, my voice hollow.‘What!? You’re joking!’ she cried, shocked.‘Tch. So all it takes is him for you to finally wake up from your haven,’ I muttered, b

The sunlight broke through the curtains and brushed against my face, but it brought me no warmth. I sighed heavily, forcing myself to sit up on the bed. Another day. Another routine. Another cycle of pain and disappointment.“Morning, Cordia,” I mumbled groggily, waiting for her usual playful remark, her sarcasm, or at least her sigh. Silence answered me.I blinked, frowning. Normally, Cordia woke before me, always the one dragging me through my days. But this time, there was nothing.The memory of her last words came back, slicing through my chest like a blade. 'Clary, I’m here. Please, stop crying… it makes me weak, be strong, Clary.'Her voice had been faint, broken.My heart lurched. 'Oh Goddess, no…'“Cordia?” I whispered, my voice trembling as my heart raced. I closed my eyes and reached for her, shouting inside my mind. 'Cordia! Please answer me! Please…'But there was nothing. No laughter. No scolding. Not even a whisper.Tears burned my eyes, but I bit my lip hard, forcing th

The beating of my heart grew louder and louder until it drowned out every sound around me. My chest rose and fell as if I had run for miles, though I hadn’t even moved.He looked in my direction. Even from a distance, under the shadow of his cap and hoodie, I felt his gaze burn into me. I couldn’t see his face, but I didn’t need to. His scent still wrapped around me like fire and lightning. His presence pulled at every piece of me, demanding I step forward.‘Of course he knows,’ Cordia whispered in my head, her voice trembling with excitement. ‘He can recognize us even from afar. We are his mate, Clary. Let’s go. Let’s meet him!’I took one shaky step out from behind the tree, my legs trembling, my whole body wanting to run to him. But then-Andrea appeared.She walked out of the house like she owned the world, her head high, her smile wide. And then she reached for his hand.I froze.He turned toward her, and in that second, the bond that pulled me toward him snapped tight inside me.

I ran fast and tried to lure the widowed wolf, I just realized that my speed had improved a lot after the ceremony. In fact, my strength has improved so much since I turned 18, it was like something inside had been born… despite the fact that my wolf didn't. Am I really wolfless? Maybe I really am. I wanted to go home, after so many bad things that happened today, I just wanted to rest.When I reached my house, I knocked few times but no one opened, I could sense my parents inside and so I called them but no one answered. Luckily, I know the secret passage to the house.I went to the backdoor and used the secret way of opening it, of course, I've been using this since I was little.When it opened, I walked inside, the lights were off, probably they were already asleep. That is why they didn't answer when I was calling them.The moment I reached the living room, the light suddenly opened and revealed mom and dad standing right at the staircase. "Why did you come here?" My dad asked

The moment I heard that there is a way out of this curse, I got closer to Alpha Henderson with high hopes."If that is the case we could be mated. I... I could be your mate. You love me right? And I love you too." I said almost begging.I saw his eyes flickered from what I said as he took a step backward which broke my heart. "No, no. We are not mate relationship, Adriah, you can still be coveted. Only the curse will stop if you are mated to your TRUE mate. Besides, you are a Stealer and... a stealer does not deserve to be a Luna."I was so dumbfounded upon hearing his words, I could never believe that he was this heartless. My heart hurt so bad, it is more than an insult especially coming from my boyfriend.I looked down and went back to the corner. It feels like I lose all my hopes."Let me out of here then." I blankly said.I have to find my mate, I need to. Otherwise, I will be forcibly mated to the lonely wolves, I'd rather die before that happens."I couldn't do that." Alpha Hen

"Oh my gosh, she's a stealer?" "That is disgusting!""That beauty of hers keeps a dirty inside. Gross!"Those were just some words I heard after Celina accused me of being a stealer but my systems were so afraid of all the scary werewolves coming closer to me that I didn't realise they got even closer. I took a step back, at last I found my feet moving. I ran backwards but I saw other widowed wolves coming there and ready to jump on me."Help!" I yelled.One of the widowed wolves tried to jump on me with his eyes blazing in lust and desire but I was fast to dodge it and ran to the other side, surprised that I was already surrounded. I have nowhere to go."No, no... Mom! Dad! Help!" I yelled for help to my parents when I saw them on their seats watching me.What saddened me most is when they didn't even move, like they didn't hear me yelling.On my right, another widowed wolf jumped on me which made me fall to the ground. He held both of my shoulders with a greedy smile. I was so afra

With my body still aching all over, I knew that I needed to move, I have to stay alive... I wanted to stay alive because I wanted to live. I desperately yearning to live despite the fact that this is truly a cruel world.Yet, I have reasons to live.As I reached the place where the event was held, a bunch of werewolves had gathered, I just stayed on the side which is not so visible to everyone. Mostly on their youths with their parents who were so excited for their children to meet their wolves.I looked on the seat right at the side corner where my parents were happily smiling at my sister Jairah who looked so excited to meet her wolf too. I sighed, guess I am not part of their happiness. I felt like my own family abandoned me and it truly hurts. I bit my lip and looked down. "There is only one person I saw who looked so unhappy on her Adult transformation."The moment I heard the voice, my eyes lit up and I immediately looked up to see the man... I love. But I am not sure whether

All werewolves are preparing for the grandeur event of the Blood Moon Ceremony where all young werewolves are destined to shift as they journey on their next phase.I woke up still feeling tired but I have to keep living in this cruel world but I am still fortunate because I have a family, a boyfriend and a pack even though life seemed to be unfair.I smiled when I remember the date today and the most important event in this generation, tonight will be the Blood Moon and the ceremony for the shifting! I'm so excited to see and meet my wolf! Today is also my 18th birthday and I would like to celebrate this day with my boyfriend Alpha Henderson, just thinking of him made my heart raced fast, we've been together for almost a year now and our relationship is getting even stronger...
