Chapter 45 Losing Scares
~Liam~
A solemn look fell upon everyone’s faces as our comrades retrieved our fallen. Seventeen from our borders with six more from the infirmary. All their lives were on me. I should’ve been more careful at the Alpha Duel. I should’ve woken immediately. I should’ve remembered soon. They needed me and I wasn’t aware they needed me.
Growing up, our predecessors instilled that there was no greater honor than giving our all to the pack in honor of the Moon Goddess. Now I hoped that our fallen brothers and sisters found peace in her arms.
I felt a hand squeeze down on my shoulder.
“It’s not your fault, Alpha.”
A rumbling came from the skies and harsh winds blew. Then it rained heavily, drenching all of us. T

~Anna~The elders prayed to the Moon Goddess with the rest of the pack silently praying on their own. Dressed in black from head to toe, we gathered around the graves of the brave men and women who fought for us. Their families wailed in their dirt-covered graves, clutching at the headstones that summarized their entire identity, the life they lived. Soon, plants of their choosing would be planted by their spouse, or their parents, or their children, whoever they have left behind.Today was particularly chilly. Mud dirtied our shoes and the atmosphere, melancholic.I watched all these unfold with a heavy heart, holding back the tears as I felt their pain – the pain of losing a loved one. They were warriors to me, as someone else to the rest – a son, a daughter, a mother, a father, a wife, a husband, a friend. They lived their lives with a different identity to each person in their life but died with the s

~Rigel~The pack was recovering from the attack. I was forbidden to involve myself in the cleanup and other matters that needed my attention by none other than the one woman who controlled my life – my Mom. We’re all we had since Dad died in an attack, and she’d been looking after me like I was still a child. So here I was, lying in bed, nursing my recovering wound, bored out of my mind.The thought of Gale picking up the slack made me happy – poor kid. None of them contacted me yet today, and it was already seven past two in the afternoon. Must be busy.

~Anna~I was in the kitchens with Aunty J and the Omegas, helping them with the dishes for tomorrow. It’d been three days since the burial and the depressing aura that hung around everyone was dissipating. Also, Liam’s birthday was in seven months!Early this morning, Rigel banged on the door to wake us up, telling me that Aunty J asked for me. It surprised me that she wanted to meet me, in her kitchen! She was still cold towards me, but I guess that was her way of warming up to me.This felt amazing! I didn’t realize how much I missed cooking. I
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 49 Broken Promise
~Liam~Her muffled cries seeped past the door. I didn’t understand why she pushed me away, why she was crying. My chest tightened as I shared her pain. I pounded at the door and pleaded but she wouldn’t let me in.I had to tell her something. When Salina kissed me, a switch flipped in my brain and I just had to tell her.I pleaded. Her cries grew louder. My heart was tearing itself apart. Who hurt her? Who did this to her? My baby was crying on the other side and I couldn’t do anything to comfort her. If only she’d let me in. I could break it down, but I was afraid of hurting her. I could sneak into the balcony, but I didn’t want to invade her space.I didn’t know what to do. I was feeling her pain a
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 50 Once More
~Liam~Three days. I couldn’t feel her presence for three days. The door locked; the curtains drawn; I kept myself isolated in her room. The only time I left was to retrieve the cake. It was fucking delicious.I hadn’t eaten cake for as long as I could remember. I’d never been a fan of sweets. But if it was from her, I couldn’t resist. She made it just… for me.It could’ve been a fun night. I planned to watch a movie with her. The popcorn was ready to go into the microwave.My mind kept going back to what could’ve happened. She should be beside me right now, peacefully asleep in my embrace. Now, it was just an empty space with a piece of paper lying on top of the sheets. I laid on my side as I hugged her pillow to my chest. It wasn’t enough.I missed her warmth. I missed her smile. I missed her fingers on my face when she wakes up and thinks I was still sleeping. I missed her scent – it was gone now. Only her pi

The impact
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 52 Dying Man
~Anna~“Thank you,” I said to the Omega as she laid down two glasses of mango juice and a tray of treats. She smiled at me then left the two of us alone in the balcony of my mother’s study. Much like the library, there were shelves of books here too, except that it didn’t feel as stuffy.It was a hot mid-afternoon, and Alpha Emery was seated across the round table from me. I took a sip of the juice, savoring the cold that ran down my throat. We sat in silence for a few minutes before he spoke.“Here,” he said, handing me the necklace. “Have you seen what’s under the cap?”I took it from him and checked what was under. I stared at the shaped “A” on the glass.“A?” I asked, confused.Emery softly smiled.“Your mother -,” he began, then cleared his throat before adding, “- was wolf-less.”I gulped at the juice, almost choking on it.“Easy, dear. I know it’s almost impossib
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 53 Family Reunion
~Anna~As if in a trance, I found myself standing and going for the door. I passed by the hallway, then found a set of stairs that led down. The place eerily quiet, my own breathing creating a piece of rhythmic music in my ears.Somehow, I managed to find my way into the front door, and just as promised, there was a car sitting right outside. No guards in sight, not a single werewolf around. Just me, and a car that I didn’t know if I could still drive. How long since I last drove one – two years, and I was a really bad driver. I crashed three of Father’s cars, and all of those were during driving lessons. From on the road to off the road and into a tree when all I was supposed to do was keep driving straight.Father. I should
