Epilogue(Author’s pov) The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting golden lights across the room. Selene sat on the bed, her laptop was open and her fingers flew over the keys as she responded to emails. Her work demanded her attention too much these days, but it was difficult to concentrate when Ethan was running around the house like a whirlwind. The little boy had energy that never seemed to run out. He kicked his small red ball against the walls and let out triumphant cheers when it bounced back, then ran after it with wild excitement. Selene had gotten the ball for him on his 3rd birthday and ever since, the boy had turned it into his companion and his father hadn’t stopped talking about how he was going to be the best football player in the world. His tiny feet thudded against the floor and along with his squeals of excitement, Selene was frustrated. She didn’t know how else to caution him and had already gotten tired. "Ethan, slow down!" Selene called, he

Selene’s Pov; I kept hearing voices, some were familiar and others, unfamiliar, but what enraged me was that I couldn’t tell whom the voices belonged to. My eyes fluttered open slowly after a while and I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the blinding light in the room. The room was unfamiliar and I glanced around, trying to recall how I got here. The ceiling glowed with the harsh fluorescent light. The sharp scent of antiseptic burned my nose, the rhythmic beeping of a monitor filled the silence around me and my body ached, as if I had been torn apart and stitched back together. I tried to move but my legs didn’t respond and panic rose to my chest. I sucked in a sharp breath, my hands moving to my thighs. My fingers trembled as they pressed against my thighs and then my knees, nothing. No sensation, no movement. Nothing at all! A strangled noise escaped my throat as I tried again, harder this time, but my legs remained dead weight beneath me. No, no, no. My heart slammed

Author’s Pov; Logan glanced around quickly, his breath came in ragged gasps as he sprinted through the prison corridor. His palms were slick with sweat, and his heart raced, but that didn’t stop him. This was his moment. This was the perfect opportunity and this time, he was going to ensure that he was successful. But fate had other plans for him.Just as he reached the gates, someone yanked him back. "Going somewhere?" The warden’s voice was taunting. He had been watching the man and knew that he was up to no good. Turns out he was right. Logan gritted his teeth, trying to pull himself out of the man’s grip, but it was useless. Within seconds, two more guards tackled him to the ground, pressing his face into the cold floor. "Son of…" Logan growled, struggling against their grip. "Shut it," one of the guards barked, twisting Logan’s arms painfully behind his back. "You really thought you could buy your way out this time?" Logan chuckled darkly, despite the pain. "Do you ev

Selene's POV The doors opened, and the soft melody of the piano filled the small chapel. My heart pounded so hard I thought everyone could hear it. I took a deep breath, but it didn’t help much. My hands felt empty without someone holding them. I had dreamed of this day since I was a little girl, but in those dreams, I never imagined walking down the aisle alone. I had imagined my father to be the one ushering me down the aisle in my glistering and beautiful wedding gown and then into the hands of my husband but I guessed everything happens for a reason. I gripped my bouquet tighter and took my first step. My mother sat in the front row, smiling at me with teary eyes. Jakob’s parents sat beside her, their faces warm and kind. Martha gave me a thumbs-up. Sean nodded, his face serious, but I knew he was happy for me. Julie was grinning, whispering something to her boyfriend, everyone looked at me with love and support, but the empty space beside me was too loud, I was not supposed

Author's POV Two weeks had gone past since they returned to the country. It had been a hard time, keeping memories of sorrow; joy, however, was to remain valid for this night. Jakob and Selene’s parents sat together for dinner, sharing laughter and memories in a great camaraderie of friendship. Summer warm, one could hear names and clinking of glasses and rejoicings. Jakob surveyed the table. He breathed in once. “I want to say something, there is something very important I would like to say.” The attention of the room shifted to him. Selene appeared sweetly and placed her hand on his. He lifted his glass. “But before I say what I have to say, first of all let us take this toast,” he paused as they all took their glass of wine, " To family.” “To family!” Everyone chimed in and raised their glasses. Jakob looked on smiling. “I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for all of you. You have been my backbone, my strength. You pulled me out of the deep waters. Selene’s father..” J

Author's POV Mia planted herself on the cold bench within the jail cell and tapped her fingers against the metallic bars, letting out a huffed breath as she pulled out the tiny phone she had hidden in her pocket and moved her fingers quickly to dial Jacob's number. She needed to act fast before the prison guards on duty came to check on her and caught her, being without a phone was the worst thing that could ever happen to her in this cruel place. She cleared her throat and she mentally went on the words she was going to say to Jakob. The phone rang: once, twice, three times, and then he finally picked up, his voice barely above a whisper. "What do you want, Mia? How were you able to call me anyways?" She swallowed hard, pressing the phone closer. "Jakob, listen, I don't have much time so you have to listen to me attentively. I need you to get me out of here." Silence. Then a small chuckle. "You need me to do what?" Mia clenched her teeth. "Bail me out, Jakob! I shouldn't b

XavierCharlotte walked out of the room almost immediately.My head spun as I took a step towards the bed. No way this was happening to me again after so long.Why now?Charlotte and I had just finally reunited. I managed to reach the bed and grabbed the sheets.I could hear the voices in my head echoing.“No!” I screamed, covering both of my ears with my hands.After a while, I managed to calm down and collapsed onto the bed.A few years back, I had episodes like this which led to several moments that made me black out.Why was this repeating itself and why now?I slowly stood up and stepped outside the room. My eyes darted towards Charlotte who was seated in the living room.Fear was written all over her face.I stepped towards the living room.She sprang up. “You have to tell me what is going on here, Xavier.”My voice was firm. “There is nothing to tell. I just had…”Charlotte cut in. “Your eyes were glowing. You cannot tell me there isn't anything wrong here.”I stepped closer to

CharlotteI dived out of the window while scanning the compound.I knew Lydia so well. She must be headed towards the back gate.I hurried in the same direction.I spotted her right in front of the gate. “It's over for real this time, Lydia,” I stated, hurrying towards her.She turned towards me. Her eyes were red. “You have to let me go. I have a child inside of me, sister.”“Sister?” I exclaimed.She must really be stupid to think I was going to let her go just because she called me that.I stepped closer towards her. “You brought this upon yourself, Lydia. I didn't even have to do anything this time.”Her voice was low and her eyes darted towards the pack house. “Please Charlotte, you will never see me again. I will make sure to stay far away from you.”I could not believe my ears.Lydia who never backs down was apologizing to me.I lowered my gaze and stared at her belly which was starting to protrude. “You do not deserve to be a mother, Lydia. I feel so sorry for that poor soul.

CharlotteI returned to the room in which I used to stay while I was still Ashton’s Luna.It was almost the same way I left it.I walked over towards the bed and dropped onto my chest.I repeatedly hit the bed with my clenched fist. “Just talk to him, Charlotte. Why is that so hard?”I sat up and glanced over at the wall clock.It was a few minutes till dinner.This was the right time.I was going to wait till we both finished eating and have a conversation with him.Firstly, I needed to take a shower.I was still so sweaty from roaming in the woods all day.I hurried into the bathroom and took a long shower.After I was done, I put on a short dress which was my favorite when I used to stay here, and let my hair down.I stared straight in the mirror as I applied my lip gloss. “You just have to tell him how you feel, Charlotte. It is not a big deal.”I stormed out of the room and hurried down the hallway.I knocked on the door softly.Xavier opened up almost immediately.He had a towel

CharlotteFor someone who hated Ashton so much for the longest time, seeing him in danger terrified me.Perhaps I had never truly hated him.Maybe I was only mad that he could not show me the affection I terribly craved while I was his Luna.I locked eyes with Xavier.I knew it was time for him to leave.I didn't want that.I hated being even one step away from him.He broke eye contact. “I have to return to the pack house, Charlotte. I am glad I was able to help.”This is it, Charlotte.The moment where I let it all out and bare my whole heart to him.“Xavier…l….”I paused.I suddenly just could not find the right words to say to him.I parted my lips again but just before I could get any words out of it, Steve drove right towards me.He got out of the car with Lexi and his men who had been chained.Steve's eyes were fixed on me.He only did that when he needed me to instruct him on what to do next.“Take them all into the pack jail and wait until Ashton wakes,” I demanded.Xavier sp

XavierI could attack Lexi right now but that would be a wrong move.I needed to know where Ashton was.My voice was louder. “Where is Ashton?”Lexi moved closer towards me. “He is dead and you are next.”I turned to look at Charlotte. Her face widened.“What the hell did you do to him, Lexi?” She screamed, taking a step towards Lexi.I stood in her way. “You have to let me handle this.”After my conversation with Max over the phone earlier, he informed me about Lydia’s plans to kill Ashton.I just could not wait around when I knew the truth.I caught a glimpse of some of Steve’s men making their way towards Lexi's slowly.I stepped closer to Lexi and stopped only a few steps away from him “You are not fit to become the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, Lexi. You will never be half the man Ashton is.”Lexi's eyes shifted.This was what I wanted.I wanted to distract him and allow Steve’s men to capture his men before he noticed they were even at his back.“I deserve to be the Alpha!”

CharlotteI hurried into the crescent moon pack house while still dialing Ashton’s number.Where the fuck was he and why was he not picking up my calls?I scanned the living room.He was also not in there.Was I too late?I rushed towards his office and ran into one of the kitchen omegas.“Where is Ashton?” I demanded.“He left with Lexi not quite long,” She replied.“Where exactly did they go?” I asked, almost immediately.“The border, they have to go check on the…”I spun and hurried towards the car before she could even finish speaking.I needed to be there with Ashton or he could lose his life if he already has not.I reached the car and spotted Xavier marching into the compound.I looked away.I must be missing him so much.There was no way he was here.I pulled open the car’s door.Steve who was still seated in the driver’s seat looked back at me. “Alpha Xavier is here.”I turned towards the gate again.It was really him.I slowly stepped towards where he could see me.“You are
