I swung my legs out of bed and stretched, feeling the pleasant ache from my legs. Yesterday had been quite a lot for me but I was thankful everything had gone exactly as planned. If it had, Tyga's and my head would have been hung by the Redmoon’s territory for daring to try them. I was really hoping Tyga made it back safe and sound. He played a crucial role in our plan, and I hoped he had returned safely to assist in training our army for the forthcoming attack on the Redmoon pack. But, you know, while all that is going on, I have got to make sure I'm ready and well equipped for what lies ahead.That is why I am heading off to continue my training with Troy. I need to learn his strengths and weaknesses so that when the time comes, we can strike with precision.I carefully selected my training outfit. I chose a pair of sturdy brown leather pants and paired them with a simple, fitted white blouse and I secured my long, blue hair with a leather tie, keeping it out of my way.I descen
I'm not sure what came over me, but there was something about seeing Troy's well-toned body, the way he laughed, and, I hate to admit it, but when he brought me those flowers and chocolates last night, my heart skipped a beat.At that moment, I kissed him. His lips were soft, and it felt magical, unlike anything I had experienced before.When I pulled away, I saw him, his eyes wide open, staring at me. Suddenly, embarrassment washed over me. I was certain he had not seen this coming, and now he probably thinks I am weird."I am so sorry, I have no idea why I did that," I confessed, my face red with embarrassment.He appeared stunned, unable to speak, I said sorry one last time before I tried to make my way out of the water.Suddenly, I felt a force pulling me back, and I found myself in Troy’s embrace. This time, the kiss was long and passionate, and I could not resist the overwhelming connection between us. I felt like I was melting in his hands, and whatever magic he was using on me
TROY’S POV.We walked back home, and it was obvious that Blue was feeling embarrassed. She maintained a considerable distance from me, no less than four feet, her face flushed with embarrassment. It seemed like she could not wait to put some space between us.I attempted to strike up small talk, but she responded with minimal words, mostly "mmmh" and nods, indicating her reluctance to engage in conversation. I wished I could tell her that it was perfectly normal for her to feel attracted to me and act on impulse, especially since she was my mate. However, considering our complicated history and the fact that she had not yet fully transitioned into a wolf, I decided to hold back on that conversation.Upon entering my house, I was greeted by the sight of Xena, my beta and close friend, who had seemingly made himself quiet at home. He sat there with a cup of coffee in hand, engrossed in one of my books. Classic Xena, always the bookworm.He glanced up at Blue and me, his eyes narrowing w
It was in the middle of the night, and I could not ignore the sounds of pain any longer. I debated whether I should go check it out or not. However, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to go.I gently pushed my bedroom door open and followed the noise, which led me right into Troy's room. I had a moment of doubt, wondering if I should intrude on his privacy, but heck, my curiousness won.Inside, I found Troy in the grip of some intense pain, seemingly unaware of my presence. His face contorted in agony, and he appeared to be trapped in some kind of trance. At that moment, a dark thought crossed my mind. I could take advantage of his vulnerable state, kill him, and escape before anyone found out but I dismissed the thought.I was about to turn back to my room when I heard Troy mumbling in his sleep like he was begging someone. He kept saying, "Father, please, please don't hurt me."I froze, telling myself to ignore it and let him be, but I could not. Taking a deep breath, I
TROY’S POV. I took a deep breath, my heart pounding as I contemplated opening up about my past to Blue. She looked at me with those kind, understanding eyes, and I felt like I could trust her with my darkest memories."Those nightmares... They were memories of a dark time in my life, Blue. A time I have tried to bury deep within me," I confessed, my voice shaking slightly.Blue leaned in. "Tell me more," she urged softly.I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to push away those painful memories that just would not leave me alone.Years ago, when my father was still alive and the alpha of the Redmoon pack, I endured an excruciating amount of physical and emotional abuse. My father was an unhinged psychopath, and the only person capable of calming him was his mate, my mother. Tragically, my mother passed away during childbirth, and her death sent my father spiraling into a deeper abyss of violence and brutality. With my mother's death tied to my birth, my father saw me as an evil omen,
After talking with Troy, I started to rethink everything. Since I joined the Redmoon pack a few weeks ago, they have turned out to be much nicer than I expected based on the stories I had heard. Before arriving here, I believed that by killing their Alpha and breaking down their pack, I could escape the pain his father had inflicted upon me.However, it was becoming evident that I was not the sole victim of his abuse. Troy, too, had endured the same suffering, growing up with a father who never loved him and subjected him to constant abuse, making him feel utterly unwanted and unloved.I could not relate to the trauma Troy endured, because my father, when he was alive, wanted the best for me and made sure I knew how much he loved me. It must be really sad to grow up the way Troy did. I guess he never knew what it's like to be truly loved. With this thought in mind, I decided to do something nice for him. So, I went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal.I was not exact
BACK AT THE MOONLIGHT PACK.ALEX POV.I entered Tyga's office, my emotions in rage after my second visit with Blue. Earlier, I had been brimming with excitement at the thought of seeing her, but now I could not shake the worry and disappointment that had settled in me."What is wrong, boy?" Tyga asked as I entered his office, concerned clearly in his tone. "Is everything alright with Blue?"I slumped into a chair in the corner of the room, my frustration palpable. "I do not know anymore, Tyga. I think the Redmoon Pack is brainwashing her."Tyga leaned forward, his expression serious. "What do you mean by that, Alex?"I ran a hand through my hair, my anxiety mounting. My meeting with Blue had not gone as expected, and it seemed like she was growing more distant and ignoring my feelings."She said she is no longer sure if she wants to go through with the attack anymore," I explained, frustration prominent in my voice.Tyga leaned forward, his brows furrowed in confusion. "What do you
As I sat alone in my room, I couldn't help but reflect on the events of the day. Alex's visit had added to my internal conflict. I could see the disappointment in his eyes when I mentioned the idea of holding back on the battle. I knew he was deeply committed to the Moonlight Pack's mission, and my change of heart might have felt like a betrayal to him.But deep down, I couldn't ignore the growing doubts within me. Was there a way to avoid bloodshed and find a peaceful resolution? I knew I could not dwell on these feelings for too long. It was essential to focus on finding a solution that would benefit both packs, even if it meant defying expectations.Mary walked into my room in her ever-cheerful voice. Her unexpected hug took me by surprise, but I could not help but smile at her warm and cheerful presence“Hi, Blue. How are you doing” Mary asked“I'm okay” I replied, returning her hug.“Nice to hear, I have missed you a lot, it's almost like I rarely get to see you.” she pouted."I
