Cara smiled—a knowing smile, one that didn't reach her eyes.

“I didn’t have to find out, I know,” She smiled, but her face was still straight.

“Luca keeps watch over the village most of the night." She said softly.

"Oh!" I pinched myself. "I did not know." I muttered. "I get it, that's why he is so pissed at me."

"Yeah but also, you... I feel your energy’s been… mixed lately." She sighed.

"What do you mean?" I asked with furrowed brows.

"You're carrying pieces of someone else's emotions, Mira. Someone who shouldn't be that close to you.”

I wore a frown, confused. “What are you talking about?”

She edged closer, her eyes narrowed slightly as if she was trying to see beyond me.

“You’re being pulled in too many directions, Mira. The seal... the dreams... Nathan… and now Luca. It’s unraveling something inside you. Can’t you feel it?”

I gulped hard, lowering my gaze. “I don’t know what I feel.” I muttered. "I just know sometimes I feel restless and can't sleep at night or when I do, I ge

    I wanted to scream the words in his face, wondering if that would make a difference.But I didn't!I bit my lower lip, trying to hold in the guilt that was creeping into my chest.“I trust you, Mira,” he continued. “Not just as a guardian of the seal but as… someone I thought I could be real with. But every time I see you with him, it’s like he's slowly taking my place and I don’t matter to you anymore.” His words pierced my heart like a sword, sharp and deep, tears pricked the corners of my eyes. “Luca, that’s not true. You mean something to me. I just… I’m confused. There’s so much happening, and—”“No.” He started walking backwards, hands raised slightly like he couldn’t take any more of my words. “I don’t want to be an option, Mira. I won’t stand in the shadows while you run back and forth between us.”A heavy pause settled.He turned his gaze toward the woods. “If you’re going to keep seeing him… then don’t come to me anymore.”My heart stilled.“Luca—”“I mean it,” he said, voi

    “Ethan held her hands, then engulfed her in a warm hug. No anger. No blame. He just held her.Awwwwwn. I wish for a life as theirs. I couldn't hold back a giggle.‘“Let’s figure this out together.’ He whispered. She slowly broke free from his embrace and stared up at his face. Her eyes locked in his as if she was looking for answers there. ‘I don’t care how long it takes. Just don’t run away from me again.’ he said, his voice warm and soothing. He wrapped his arms around her and engulfed her in his arms again.”I blinked repeatedly, trying to keep my tears at bay and emotions in check.“From that day,” Della said softly, “They started again. And soon not as mates. Not only as Luna and Alpha. But as two people… who chose to try. And love bloomed the way... it always does—in quiet moments, in laughter, in the way they protected each other when no one else would.” She smiled at the memory.She allowed silence to sit with us for a while, then added, “They were far from perfect, but they w

    “Is this true?” The Head of the council asked, leaning forward, his voice was livid and strict.Thane could only shake his head, his lips open but no words were coming forth, his eyes begging for mercy. “Thane, speak!” the head exclaimed, loosing his cool over Thane's childish character.Thane's fist clenched and his jaw tightened, his face reddening when the pressure became unbearable and worse of all—they didn't see him suffering. They didn't see what she was doing to him, to them. And those that knew, the guards… she had them all wrapped under her fingers like a thread. Now she was here making him look like a fool in front of all of the council members and the people! Couldn’t they tell? Had he ever behaved this way before?She was playing all of them like a pack of cards!All heads turned to the dark haired man. His fists clenched violently on the table.Inside, Thane burned with fury.He wanted to scream no! To tell them Alexa was twisting everything. But she had him trapped.

    Thane sat quietly in his room—speaking was something he could no longer do anyways.He sat still, unable to believe that his own people could turn on him. The council members, his father. No one cared to look his way or believe him. None of them read the signs he was trying to pass, signaling them that all was not well.Marrying Alexa had become a very expensive mistake. Sadly, he was only beginning to realize this. She was turning his own people against him in order to ride on—undisputed with whatever agenda she had in mind.His amber eyes glowed faintly in the dark, his mouth magically sealed by Alexa, punishment for trying to defy her.He wasn't the same again, well... not after seeing her consume all those people's energies from their core and render them as good as lifeless.She could seal his lips and they could take away his powers and position but he wasn't completely powerless. He wasn’t going to sit here doing nothing. His wolf was awake.He glanced upwards towards the glass

    I looked away and exhaled softly, "Doesn't matter what I want, I just want peace. I don't want any trouble.” I spoke, putting myself in an innocent position. I was indeed innocent, I didn’t have to be dragged into their boyish fight.“Okay.” he nodded slowly and turned to go.I stood still, winter chills brushing over my skin, my chest began to tighten with unspoken words. “Nathan…” warm air escaped my lips.I could tell he was hurt, by me? Or Luca’s new orders.I was the only person he was close to since being brought here and even I was pushing him away now.He didn’t look back. He just walked into the midst of the field and kept going, his shoulders a little hunched, like he was carrying a heavy load .Where was he going?I had no ideaBut the way he moved—the way he didn’t even glance back at me—told me he wasn’t okay. He was deeply hurt.Probably he would confront Luca.Or maybe… something else was stirring inside him.*NARRATOR The sky burned orange against a steel-gray horiz

    She said the words I so much dreaded, and my heart stopped."Luca and Nathan are fighting over you!” She blurted out.“What?” I half yelled in surprise. “Why?” I asked.She shrugged, “I don’t know—I bet over who should be your mate!” She replied.“Oh my god!” I exclaimed, feeling so ashamed on their behalf. I lunged myself into any outfit I saw. “Where?” I asked, ready to go.“By the clearing, hurry!” she yelled, snapping her fingers at me and I jumped into a coat and a boot and headed out with her dragging me along.“Calm down, Cara.” I begged but she heard none of it.We pushed through a crowd of ready watchers and my eyes dilated when I saw them, my jaw dropped and I could only use my hands to cover them.“Stoppppp!” I yelled. My voice thundering across the clearing like a wounded kitten. Snow flurried around me, my eyes glowing with disappointment and shame.The air crackled, they both turned to me. Neither of them moved for a moment. Then—slowly, their hands dropped away from e

    “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

    I heard the loud voice from where I hid, and I knew it was game over. I had to run.“Get her!" I kicked against the door as hard as I could, bolting through it almost immediately. They were behind me, all four of them. I didn't stop running.The sound of grasses and twigs being trampled upon by our feets echoed through the night. My hands gripped the object in my hand tighter, as I kept running.“Stop!" One of them yelled. "Stop now, and we will let you go freely."Lies!I'm not a fool, and they're all liars. If their Alpha is a liar, then they are too.My heart ached as I thought about the situation that led me here. I had my doubts, but he overrode them, and made me fall in love with him, only to be rejected at the last minute when it actually mattered.Love sucks, but Alpha Thane sucks even more.A harsh voice pulled me out from my little “That book belongs to the pack, you can't take it. You theif!"I held unto it tighter. I'm not a thief! I ignored them as best as I could, putt

    Who could the man in my dreams be? The Rogue Alpha? The nine elders? Why would he appear to me? Or they?The fire, the seal, the sword—everything seemed tangled. And it all led to the same root. The Aurora’s Seal. The one I had seen in the man’s hand, and now, the very sword Luca wielded too.I closed my eyes, rubbing my arms as the night wind brushed past my skin.A twig snapped behind me.I turned quickly, my body on edge—but I relaxed the moment I saw him.“Nathan?” I sighed, surprised.He walked up to me, his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat, his eyes possibly wondering why I'm out here. Why was he out here?“You’re out here again tonight?” he asked, a quiet concern in his voice.I dropped my gaze, ashamed at how predictable this had become. “Yes… again.”He gave a short sigh and stepped closer. “You haven't been sleeping well for the past few days, Mira. You need rest.”“I know,” I said, more bitterly than I intended. “But I can't help it.”He watched me. "Why? What's t
