Wayne strolled along the shores of the ocean. The sun had begun to set in the west, casting streaks of red, yellow, and gold over the horizon. He had just come back from his office in the city. Happy that the day had finally come to an end and he could return back to her embrace. Yet when he came back, he could not find her anywhere in the house until Earnest had told him she was by the ocean bank. He rushed out of the house, eager to get to her. It was funny how he spent every morning waking up next to her, but he couldn't seem to get enough of her. As he drew close, he saw her sitting on the sand by the shore. Her beautiful long golden hair flew in the wind, she was still wearing the white long-sleeve dress she wore to the assembly and her hands held some river rocks. She threw it into the ocean and watched it skid along the waves before sinking. She looked so peaceful and content, that for a moment he contemplated interrupting her quiet time. As he looked at her, he wished h

A month later.The Assembly Head Quarters.Central City, Plane Weode.Wayne and Candice stood before the great assembly.From the last time she had been here, their chairs looked shorter. It was no more elevated on a pillar, where they sat and looked down from their high positions to judge the matters of the plane.Five simple stone chairs replaced the former ones, and four seats were occupied by the elders, except one.Which was meant for Aragon.Sadly, the millennia-old elder had died the next day after their visit to him.He was buried immediately as was their tradition and a month was taken to mourn his passing.The period of mourning was over and business had resumed as usual.That was why Wayne and her had appeared before the council. They had an agenda and wanted to move forward with their plans."Finally, my queen, you grace us with your presence," Augustus said very pleased."What took you out of the plane for five weeks?" Thaddeus demanded impatiently.She smiled within hers

"W-Wayne, is that you?" Aragon called in a shrill voice."Yes, it is I, Wayne," he answered, and walked over to his bedside."I sense another with you, is that our queen, Candice?" Aragon asked.Dear lord, it seemed he had lost his sight as well. He could not see her, but could smell her."Yes, she wanted to come with me, so she could bid you well on your journey," Wayne responded."You must be shocked to see me like this," Aragon said after a few minutes.She saw her husband hold his breath, trying his best not to sound emotional. Then he let it out in a rush and assumed a playful attitude. "I see you have the Waste. You have lost your charm old man."The waste?Aragon tried to laugh, but he started to cough. So, Wayne held him up and rubbed down his back.When the cough had receded, he managed to say "The waste comes for all amortals at an old age, who refuse to die. No matter how hard I try, I would have eventually lost my attractive looks."Wayne shook his head "You could have fou

5 days later.Candice folded her arms under her breasts as she stood gazing at the piece of art hung on the wall, in the living area.The more she looked at it, the more it looked lacking."Are there no better choices?" She complained to Earnest, who stood next to her staring at the frame."What is wrong with it, Your Highness? This and others were procured from one of our most famous artists in the city central city. The work is flawless," Earnest informed her."I said I wanted frames with flowers and sunlight, all the beauty of nature. Not a dark grey canvas with stripes," she complained."But we have enough flowers outside the house and the sunlight filters in to brighten up the place properly. Do you not see that this canvas is sophisticated, eloquent, and better suited to the design of the mansion?" He argued.Candice eyed the ugly frame and looked at the other frames packed to the side, waiting for her instructions to hang them in her desired locations."I am trying to make the

"Candice wake up, you are dreaming!" the masculine voice sounded agitated, and she felt her self been shaken vigorously.Still in the throes of her sleep, she pushed away whoever was shaking her.Then she bolted up from the bed as she awakened.She blinked as she started to come to.She was back to her room on plane Weode, with no strange-speaking people and no bears around.It was all a dream, thank God."Candice, are you okay?" Wayne asked."I am fine-" she started to say but did not see him in bed when she looked around the room. She found him on the ground, close to the balcony divide."What are you doing over there? Why are you not in bed?" She frowned."You pushed me here," he said as he got to his feet."I did?" She replied surprised. "How can I push you that far?""Confounds me as well. You were screaming in your sleep and struggling, so I tried to wake you up and you shoved me away," Wayne said casually as he walked back to the bed."How is that even possible?" She chuckled.

"Ready yourselves, we match to the battlefield in a bit," A man dressed in animal fur and leather announced to a group of people that dwelled in tents as he took hold of a battle axe.Candice looked around her confused.She was in some sort of settlement; among people she had never seen before. They were speaking a strange language, foreign and old. And yet somehow, she understood them."The Irish people approach, we should leave the camp," a woman with her hair scraped off at both sides, and a braid down the center of her head spoke up. She wielded a sword in her hand and was dressed like the man.In fact, all of them were dressed in animal fur coats with dry hydes for tops and gathers for lower pants.They carried shields, spears, swords, and axes in their hands. It was as if they were going into battle.The place looked so old and dated. They practically lived in tents and wore unprocessed animal hyde and had logs for fire in the middle of their settlement.There was heavy snow eve

Nivia POV."Let go of her," Mateo said, tugging on my arm and drawing me close to him."No, you let go," Justin retorted, pulling me back.Was this some kind of joke?Was the universe messing with me?Not one but two mates?When I thought I wouldn't be lucky enough to get one and even if I managed to, he wouldn't want me.Now here I was, being pulled in different directions by my best friend and crush.They all want me.The moon goddess definitely had a weird sense of humor."She is mine, I got here first," Mateo insisted, stepping in front of me."You were only two seconds early, I was right behind you," Justin countered, also stepping forward.They were face to face with each other in a stand-off, their faces so close to each other that their noses almost touched."You don't even like her, you rejected her before remember?" Mateo grated, his voice growing thick with emotion."That was before I knew she was my mate. I won't let her go now that I know she is mine," Justin replied with

Nivia POV.I felt nervous wearing these clothes.Even though I was clothed from head to toe, due to the lightness of the fabric, I felt exposed.I had just arrived at the festival ground, which was our school's sports ground.The place was filled with people. Students of all ages were present. All the Teachers, as well as non-academic staff, were present. Even parents from outside the school, who could make the occasion were also present. As much as this was a school event, it was also a very important ceremony for our pack.I knew my mother would not be here. What time did she have to spare from working two jobs and taking care of my half-siblings?I stood at the edge of the entrance, too shy to go in."Nivia?"I turned around to see Mateo standing behind me with a shocked expression on his face."My goodness, what are you wearing?" He asked his eyes traveling up and down my body.Feeling awkward, I pulled at the hem of my dress. "Is it bad?"I saw him shake his head, regaining his

Nivia POV.It was happening again.I saw myself outside, dressed in a white dress, standing in the woods, beyond the pack's borders.To my right was the path leading to Red Moon's Territory. I knew because, from where I stood I could see the fence of my school.To my left was a dark thick forest, thicker than the other one.I stood in the middle, in a clearing of shrubs that separated both forests."Nivia..." I heard my name floating in the wind towards me.The voice was coming from the dark forest.I took a tentative step in that direction, when I heard another voice say to me from my right side."Don't Nivia," the other voice warned. "Do not go in there."My head immediately swung in the opposite direction to my pack's forests.No one was in sight.All I heard were voices, talking to me."You belong with us..." the voice from my left called softly. "Come to us.""No, she was sent to us," the other voice countered.I stood in the same spot, wondering where to go.Do I go right or do

Justin POV.I know that symbol.I have seen it several times over the years.Why did that strange girl have it?Nivia was one of the girls in my class. I didn't know much about her, except that she was on a scholarship here at our school. She usually kept to herself and hung out with that nerd named Mateo.She was frail-looking and appeared like she suffered from some illness because she always wore a lot of clothes.I tried to be nice to her because she helped me out with my classwork a couple of times.And since she was obviously brilliant, I gave her my snacks to keep the rapport between us.I was not attracted to her, neither did I expect she would have a crush on me.Claire, on the other hand, was my friend since elementary school, before we graduated and came to Oakwood High School.Her father was the Beta of our pack and second in command to my father. We were close family friends.We would all be turning eighteen this year, at different birth months, and the mating festival wa

Nivia POV."This bitch here thinks she can snatch you away from me!" Claire thundered. "I-I wasn't trying to snatch him away," I stuttered, trying to explain."Then explain the rubbish you wrote here," She waved the letter in my face. "You're confessing your love to a guy when you know he is taken.""What?" Everyone asked, surprised.All the guys from the football team were present.Hot and sweaty from a practice on the field. Some female cheerleaders had also come into the male changing room with them.And they were all looking at me like I was the devil.I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat had gone dry, and my tongue felt heavy.I wanted to say that it was a harmless note. I was only telling him how much I admired and respected him. Also, I had no expectations. But the multiple sets of eyes fixed on me, with everyone gossiping in hushed tones, made me too nervous to speak.As captain of the football team and head of the cheerleader group, Claire and Justin, were obviously cl

Prologue Long ago, the Werewolves and the Lycans lived in harmony. While the Lycans were stronger, faster, and wild, the werewolves were weaker and well-groomed. They were alike in many respects and had the spirit of the wolf, which the Moon goddess, their guardian deity, bestowed upon them. They each dwelled in their lands, side by side, and the Lycans flourished greatly, multiplying and growing in their numbers. Until their lands could no longer contain them, and some started to settle among the werewolves, in the clan closest to their boundary, known as the Red Moon Pack. Out of fear of being overwhelmed by the Lycans, the elders of the pack sought out a witch to inflict a disease upon them that spread like wildfire, affecting only the Lycans and killing all the females of reproductive age. Soon, the Lycans dwindled in their numbers and were forced to return to their lands. However, the curse did not stop. It continued to spread far beyond into the Lycan's lands, killing al
