I got dressed and stepped into the room. My eyes ran to where the book was—its obvious Della knows what the book is for and the significance it holds except for the fact that no one else is able to use it like I could once I finally access my powers after getting the seal.The drawer seemed untampered with and just for confirmation, I pretended to get my locket from it which gave me access to the drawer and that’s when I checked if it was still there and behold it was still there.“Are you done?” she asked even though it was obvious that I was.“Yes.” I nodded, straightening my outfit.“Good. Come with me, I would like to show you something.” She said and I obliged. I followed her and we walked into the field… far deep into the woods, away from the village, the village was more like a fraction of distant objects now.Then she raised her head and looked up. Curiosity stroke me and I looked up too, wondering what she was looking at.I couldn’t see it, didn’t know what she was looking at

Cara pointed at a messy looking lady and I squinted my eyes as I couldn’t see her well due to the burning sensation of the sun.“What’s her name?” I whispered loudly.“Hey!!” the teacher turned, snapping her cane at us. “No noise making! Now listen!!” she commanded.“You’re welcome Mira.” She said, I guess finally taking notice of me. “Do well to have a seat or a stand, however you may please.” she said nonchalantly. “I am Juan, your trainer.” She added.“Thank you, Miss Juan.” I said, trying to be as polite as I could.She danced her way to the others whom she had been training on and I turned to Cara.“Is this where you spend most of your day?” I asked, my eyebrows twitching in confusion. “Yeah.” She smiled.“I’m definitely calling in sick tomorrow.” I grimaced, my face turning pale at the thought of being tutored by this grumpy lady. I was scared of her, she looked scary. I won’t understand anything she’s saying because her face looks like it’s constantly screaming at someone for

I fell to the grass disappointed. I got up relentlessly, deciding to try again. Beads of sweat drops formed above my brows—on my forehead—and I could feel it trickle down my face. I wiped it off on my clothes and stayed focused. I did everything I could, everything I knew of—still nothing.I threw fists in the air and yelled at the universe. I was mad at it for making me this helpless! Then I sat to receive some cool air from the breeze blowing by, that’s when I realized that I had released way too much air into the wind while I was throwing a tantrum.Excited. I decided to sit with my legs crossed and try to stir my powers again—one last time. I was hopeful. I was excited. Focused. I felt it move within me like a string of energy, stirred and coursed right from the depth of my heart, into my body parts and my hand like a moving sand worm and into every cell and vessel, my metacarpals and carpals, skin, pore, every ounce of biology in my finger… I was expectant, waiting for it to

“Well.” He shrugged. “You’re always welcome to be on either side of the team.” He said.“So I can start with you right away?” I asked, a little excited but uncertain.“Of course.” He said moving towards his team and I swallowed a huge gulp turning to Cara with anxiety written all over my face.“You’ve got this!” she gave me a thumbs up and a wide grin.I nodded and walked clumsily down there. “Hi. Everybody.” I waved but none of them heard me except a few, the rest were still busy training vigorously.Luca clapped his hands, calling their attention. “Listen up!” he half yelled.They immediately paused and turned to him.“We have a new member on our team!” he said pointing at me, “Mirabelle.” He added and they cheered. “Welcome Mirabelle.” Most chorused, others looked at me like I missed my way there. A lady for that matter!Their eyes scoring through my body, visibly weighing my flabby, feeble arms and weak legs. How can I ever throw a punch or a power kick with any of these? I was

I followed his gaze, and there, a little distance into the woods, by the tree trunk, a flicker of movement caught my attention. A shadow—quick and low to the ground—vanished behind a tree.“Did you see that?” he asked, wiping sweat drops off his brow.I nodded slowly. “You’re not crazy.” I whispered loudly.“That’s a first,” he muttered.Luca’s stance shifted immediately. He was more serious now. “Stay behind me." He said to me.And then, like a bad storm rolling in, the energy in the air changed.I felt it too. That strange hum… like a current pressing against my skin. I wasn’t sure if it was fear or power, but something unusual was definitely coming.Luca raised one hand, a silent signal to the rest of the fighters to pause. They obeyed immediately—most of them sensing what we had felt too. That strange pull in the air, thick and humming like a plucked string.A rustle in the bushes followed by the crack of a dry twig. Then silence.I held my breath. And out of the shadows stepped—N

Falcon scoffed. “You wouldn’t dare." His eyes narrowed. "I have a blade, you have nothing!”Luca smiled, then in a swift motion—like a snake he moved. One second he was standing still, the next moment, Falcon’s blade was on the ground and Nathan was stepping aside, untouched –his hands still in the air.When he noticed he was free, he pretentiously dusted his coat, mocking Falcon and Bren.Luca had disarmed him in a blink. Falcon stumbled back in shock, Luca grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind him. Luca had his other arm carrying Falcon’s other hand to the back of his head rendering him completely helpless.Bren pulled out his weapon—but I was quick enough to notice him so I stepped right in front of him and sent a fist through his gut—clumsy but powerful—and he buckled just enough for one of the trainees to yank the blade from his hand.Luca smiled at me, I'm sure he was proud. "Impressive!" He smirked.“I’m getting better, huh?” I muttered, my eye was widened in shock and s

“Keep tempting me with those lips and I’ll show everyone how much you drive me crazy.” He said getting closer to me and my eyes widened in surprise… “Okay, Okay, stop… stop—” I used both my hands to push him away and to stop him from coming any closer. I wouldn’t be able to resist him if he gets too close. “Stop okay?”I didn't mean to push him too far, gosh! Why would he want to kiss me in public?"Fine!" I sighed. "Let's just keep moving." I said putting my hands down. He looked at me for a while then he turned and started walking forward, I joined him. Together, we moved."Mira, Luca, wait up!" We heard a familiar voice yell our names behind us and we stopped and waited, searching for her while the crowd went by us, moving ahead… It was Cara."Is training over for you as well?" I asked once she came in close proximity."Training is over for everyone. Luca said so." She pointed at him."Yes." Luca accepted. "They ruined my mood. I don't feel like training anymore." He added."Perh

Luca tilted his head, then smiled—not warmly. “Alright. Let me rephrase that." He sighed."Tell me the truth… and probably I might consider letting you leave." Luca said with a smirk on his face."Out of the village. Beyond the barrier. No more rules. Just total freedom.” He gestured, locking his eyes on Falcon’s face, wearing still, that cunning smirk on his face.Falcon’s eyes lit up faintly, curiosity piqued. He glanced at the sword again, and then back at Luca. “Are you kidding me or you're dead serious?” he questioned, doubt evident in his tone.“I'm dead serious,” Luca lied smoothly, crossing his arm as he leaned back on his seat. “No blade to your throat. No guards. You get your wish—adventure, the wild, the chaos outside these walls, everything!”*I walked by the barrier stealthily as the wind brushed past my face, my eyes narrowed in determination as the moon appeared in the evening sky.The hums and shimmers of the magical wall still flickered faintly under the fading sunl

NARRATOR*FLASHBACK*"You must marry the Luna from the Ice Claw pack," he said, his voice firm, his gaze fixed on anything but him. "To form a strong alliance between us and strengthen our bond," he added. It's for the pack. "There’s no one better suited for this than you, Thane," he continued, finally looking up at him for the first time since the conversation began."Why me?" Thane asked, his voice breaking with quiet desperation."You're the heir, Thane. "Look around you. "We need the Ice Claw on our side," he emphasized."This is one of the many sacrifices you’ll have to make for the good of the pack," he stated.In a few days, you will be announced as its new leader. It's time you stepped up your game. Let the people feel safe under your reign.""Only a Luna— royal blood—can rule beside you.

Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 59 : PAIN
Luca reached out to hug me but since our hands were bound, we greeted each other by pressing our temples against each other—and for a brief, precious moment, it felt like all hope was not completely lost.“I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you,” he said, lifting his head. Regret and sadness clouded his eyes like a mist.“Oh, Luca,” I said, my voice tender, merely a whisper. I cupped his face in my hands tenderly and looked at his withdrawn eyes. “It wasn’t your fault,” I said, trying to console him.He shook his head, gently pushing me away, he lowered it once more.“It is,” he muttered, shrinking, curling himself into a round ball. “I couldn’t even save Mother.” His voice cracked, and tears brimmed in his eyes. “I watched her get killed.” The tears fell off his eyes like a scar.I stayed silent, my heart aching for him. There were no words that could soothe a pain like his… the pain of watching someone you love so dearly die.I understood how sad this was for him. I would feel the

Nathan laughed—a cold laugh. “You call this power? This is you selling your soul for a taste!”“ENOUGH!” Alexa’s voice boomed, the ground trembling as magic pulsed from her.“I've had enough of this pep talk with you.” She said, “Enough stalling!”“Now back to what I really came for and if you try to stop me again, then I promise you, I won't play nice.” she threatened."I don't bloody care!!" He growled and lodged at her with great speed but she already saw him coming.She stretched her hand, exuding dark violent fumes at her fingertips... she held him in a still bubble mid air and with a twist of a finger, she crushed all the bones in his body, all his joints went cracking, torn—all in a single bend of the finger.My heart sank.Nathan growled in pain under such torment and when she finally released him. He fell to the ground, a loud and heavy thud. It got the earth shaking and vibrating for a second."Nathan!” I yelled and ran to him. I didn't want to lose anyone else tonight.Ale
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 57 : STAY OUT OF MY WAY!
She groaned, her lungs gasping for air as she looked at me, water trailing off the corner of her eyes. She stammered…blood oozing from the side of her lips. “Mira…” I heard her say in a low whisper.“Guard the seal!” she said, “Safe… keep the seal. Luca, keep him—” she sighed, releasing the last air before her eyes rolled to the back of her head, closing shut and just like that, she was gone.I screamed in pain, clinging her body to my chest tightly. I cried uncontrollably.Luca heard me scream and turned to look, it was then he realized it was his mother. He saw me crying over her with her body in my arms.He was traumatized and weak, his sword slipped through his hands and fell to the ground and that’s when the enemy army overpowered him.I didn’t realize I was screaming until my throat burned yet I couldn't stop.“Mira!” a voice called in a loud whisper. “Let’s get out of here!” “Do you want to get killed out here?” it reprimanded. “Follow me, I know a way out!.” He added, eyes
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 56 : SOMETHING DEEPER
“Mum…” I protested, gasping for air and freedom. She loosened her grip and apologized, planting a soft kiss on my forehead.I loved it—I loved hugs, I loved being in her arms—but something about today felt different.It felt like a goodbye.I was scared.She took me to my father. He came closer and stayed in front of us while she carried me in her arms. He looked at me with worried eyes.“My princess,” he said, as he fondly called me, pressing his forehead unto mine. “I love you.” he muttered.I smiled and held his face playfully, pulling his blonde hair. "Ouch!” He feigned a look and chuckled, but there was something about his laughter.It wasn’t excitement. It wasn't free, it wasn't wholesome. It was bitterness laced with something else.Something deeper.“What’s going on daddy? Mummy?” I asked, sensing the tension between the two of them. They exchanged glances—a look that said more than words could ever—then mother broke down in tears. She collapsed into father’s arms, sobbing
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 55 : FOUND YOU!
Luca returned, armor strapped, sword in hand. He went to Della’s side. “What now?”“I’m going to try to reinforce the barrier,” she said. “But we’ll need time. If she breaks through before I finish... there will be no hiding anymore. We will have to fight back! Protect Mira with all you have. She is our only hope for redemption.” She instructed.Luca gave a nod. He turned to me, “I told you before. Stay behind me.” I gave a sharp nod like my life depended on it.He held my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.We have no idea what was going to come after now but this was war.Back at the center of the village, Cara rallied the others—warriors, magicians, even those who had long forgotten how to fight.They all knew: the end of hiding meant the beginning of war.I stood between Luca and Della, my heart out in my palms. A thousand thoughts swirled in my mind, but one thing was clear. My presence here had brought the threat to our doorstep. I couldn’t run anymore.“Della,” I said, my voice
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 54 : IF IT FALLS, WE FIGHT!
His toned chest was likened to that of an athlete, the water trailing down his sculpted form. I imagined my hands brushing over his torso, my lips kissing off the wetness—desire.Suddenly, I seemed to forget how to breathe.Goodness, he’s beautiful! I gasped between breaths, biting my lower lip unconsciously.“Mira!” he snapped his fingers in her face, voice sharp and weighty.I blinked hard, caught red-handed in my daze. “Yes!” I replied quickly, my voice soft barely a whisper—too soft, like a submissive partner.He paused, his jaw tightened. He held a breath and closed his eyes, groaning inside, trying to bade away the thoughts, his well built flesh responding to me, hardening. His body responded to my eyes, too well—but now wasn’t the time.He left me, else he might just lose his mind and lose control. He ran to get himself cleaned and got dressed.He turned, running a hand through his wet hair, trying to banish the rising heat. He needed control. He needed to banish the thoughts
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 53 : THE BARRIER…
Alexa narrowed her eyes, lips pressing into a thin line. This chase was growing tedious. She refused to let it spiral into a game of chance, going round in circles because of a powerless girl. It was time to shift tactics.She raised both of her hands. Dark, shadowy energy began to swirl between her fingers like a round ball, forming a massive orb of glowing violet flames, black and unstable, thrumming with menace. She whispered incantations, low and incomprehensive. They escaped her lips, ancient and intelligible, not meant for mortal ears.The orb hurled with sharp thrust towards the forest.It streaked violently across the sky, leaving behind a glowing trail of destruction, it came down quickly and tore through the trees as it homed in on its target—guided by magic, rage, and a name etched into it's very soul:Mira.As the violent trail of energy scorched through the forest, carving a burning path through it. Trees bent and splintered in its fury, animals fled, and even the wind s
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 52: MOMENTARY AFFECTION
“Let me see your wounds,” I said, reaching for the towel on a flab beside the tub and a small jar of healing herbal ointment I found there as well, he must've kept them there to use them on himself. He lifted his arm first—scratches, a gash on his side, purple bruises forming along his ribs and collarbone. I bit the inside of my cheek as I gently dabbed at the injuries, cleaning them with care.Then his back.“You know,” I said quietly, focusing on the gash near his shoulder blade, “you didn’t have to fight him because of me. I was already going to stop talking to him. Besides…we are just friends. I bet he fought you to spur you.” I didn't know when I chuckled to myself.A spark of frustration flickered in his tired blue eyes as he turned his head to look at me.“You don’t see what I see, Mira,” he said in a hush whisper. “He was slowly winning your heart. I couldn’t just wait around and watch that happen.”I sighed, pausing for a second before resuming with the ointment. “No. But y
