[Tylerโs POV]I was extremely furious and I just wanted to do something terrible to someoneโฆ anyone. For the first time ever, something that had never happened to me had happened and it just felt like a thousand hyenas were fighting in my chest. The Crescent Pack had lost a war? How? Why? It had never happened before, and I was hundred percent sure that my ancestors were looking at me from above, shaking their heads in disappointment.โSo, this is what is left of all the warriors I sent to the battleground?โ I thundered, furiously.โUnfortunately yes, your highness,โ Jerry responded.I laughed hysterically, pacing around the training grounds where they had all gathered.โWhat happened? We had a carefully thought-out plan. It was a technique that had never failed, and I was positive it will not fail this time. The Half-Moon Packโs warriors arenโt even up to a quarter of our men, so what went wrong? Have all of you become useless? Havenโt you been taking the training seriously? How can

[Lucienโs POV]I barged into Celesteโs cottage, where a nice aroma was steaming from. I glanced over at the kitchen and saw Ryle making dinner for both of them.โI knew it couldnโt be Celeste making anything that smells nice. All she does is make awfully smelling potions,โ I said, and Ryle laughed, noticing my presence in the cottage.โIโm right behind you, and I have a hammer in my hands,โ Celeste said, startling me from behind.โIโm a vampire for a reason, your hammer canโt do anything to me,โ I boasted, and she just laughed a little.โWhatever. What are you even doing here? Shouldnโt you be in your big mansion with Nivera who has you wrapped around her fingers?โ she asked, dropping the hammer on the cupboard and going to peek a little at the food Ryle was busy preparing.I heaved a sigh, then sat on a wooden chair that gave way and nearly had me falling to the ground, but I was quick enough to stand on my feet and avoid it.โWhat the hell? Canโt you even get good furniture?โ I fire

[Maliaโs POV]Slowly, my eyes opened and I woke up to see the Alpha King staring at me with wide eyes, and I spotted his lips grow into a smile the moment he saw I was awake.I forced a smile at him, shifting uneasily in the bed I could tell wasnโt mine, and as my eyes darted all over, it was clear that I was in the infirmary and that was when I remembered suddenly being overcome by extreme dizziness and I could recall collapsing as a result of it.โYouโre awake, my Luna,โ the Alpha said, squeezing my hands warmly.Although weak, I managed to sit up and he helped me out, then tucked away a strand of shiny auburn hair from my face.โIโm sorry to have caused you so much worry, Tee. Tell me, how long was I out?โ I asked.โJust a few hours, but itโs all good. The worry you caused me only lasted for a few minutes and it has been replaced with great news,โ he said, with more excitement than he had possessed in the last couple of years.โWhat do you mean?โ I inquired, filled with curiosity.

[Niveraโs POV]โWhat did you just say?โ I asked in shock after Celeste broke the news to me.โYou heard me, child. Youโre pregnant. I wasnโt too sure before, but I have confirmed it after feeling your pulse,โ she explained, flashing me a sympathetic look.I shook my head slowly. โNo, that canโt be true. Lucien canโt get me pregnantโฆ andโฆ and if I am truly pregnant,โฆ it meansโฆโ my voice broke as tears flowed down my eyes in torrents.I had always envisioned getting pregnant and spending forever with the man I loved. Together, we would have a perfectly happy family life, and never in my life had I once wished for it to play out this way. I couldnโt be pregnant.. not like this, just not this way.โDoesโฆ does Lucien know about this?โ I asked.The expression on her face told me he already knew, even before she said the words: โYes, he knows.โI swallowed hard and buried my face in my hands, sobbing really hard. โNo wonder he has been acting strange and being all distant from me in the last

[Lucienโs POV]I had thought about it again and again, and although I was sure that our lives would never remain the same if Nivera should have the child, I also somehow knew that it would be worse if she never had the child.There I was, sitting in the park, and just then, a boy of around seven years old ran up to me smiling, exposing his missing front teeth and he handed over to me a loose kite.I stared down at it, wondering why he had decided to approach me of all people. I never had a smile on my face and no one ever spoke to me first and avoided me as much as possible. I knew what he wanted and not saying a word, I helped him out with the kite so he could fly it properly then handed it back to him.โThank you,โ he said, then turned around and left.I stood up from the bench and walked to leave the park, not knowing why I had come there to think of all places, knowing fully well that there would be a lot of people around since it was a sunny Saturday, which was also the day Niver

Months later [Maliaโs POV]The sound of the babyโs cry hit my ears, and even through the overpowering pain I felt after being in labour for thirty-six hours, a great smile found its way to my lips. It was as though my intestines had been ripped apart and I had never felt as weak as I felt presently, but I was fulfilled.It was worth it. All the pain I had endured had been worth it eventually.The Moon Goddess didnโt fail me. She had looked down on me with a smile, and although there had been times when I had wanted to give up and just heed to the call of death, I was happy I had persevered. My baby was worth it all.โCanโฆ can I see him?โ I asked weakly, as I tried my best to keep my eyes openโฆ just to have a glimpse of my baby, just to behold its magnificence.โโHerโ, your majesty. You delivered a bouncing baby girl,โ the midwife said.โWhat?โ I asked, filled with shock, and the sleep that had been deeply rooted in my eyes disappeared almost immediately. โIโฆ I had a daughter, not a s

Five years later[Niveraโs POV]โLuca, where are you now?โ I asked, careful not to shout in order not to disturb the people around.I reasoned he was probably playing hide-and-seek again with me, but without telling me, and I had agreed with Lucien to not make use of my abilities to find him anytime something like that happened. We were trying to be normal people, after all.โIโm sorry, have you seen my son? He has curly brown hair and eyes with chubby cheeks,โ I said to an old lady who was struggling with pulling her overloaded trolley.โDo you know how many peopleโs kids match that description? Please, be on your way and donโt bother me,โ she said, dismissively.โWell, I tried my best, Lucien,โ I said in a whisper, then sniffed the air to catch Lucaโs scent, and as soon as I caught a whiff of it, I immediately followed the scent.From the looks of it, he was where they sold ice-cream at the mall. I definitely should have looked over there first. He had a great love for ice-cream whi

[Tylerโs POV]I yelled angrily, forcing myself to not lay hands on her, but rather struck my fists against the sculpture of one of my ancestors in the throne room and it scattered into many different pieces.The maid, Tami, moved backwards, looking up at me with dreadful terror as tears began to roll down her cheeks. She fell to her knees, clasping her hands tightly and begging me for mercy. โIโฆ I am sorry,โ she said.โSorry? Thatโs all you have to say? Youโre sorry? Tell me, who is your Alpha? Who is your Lord? Who has power over you?โ I yelled at her.โYouโฆ only you, Alpha Tyler,โ she said, sobbing really hard as tears kept on rolling down her cheeks in torrents.โItโs my fault, Alpha King Tyler. Please, let her be and punish me instead,โ Malia said, and she immediately kept quiet as I flashed her a cold glare.She looked down at her feet, bending one toe over the other, appearing to be afraid.โOf course, you deserve to be punished and I will see later to that.

[Niveraโs POV]Six months had passed since Tyler had died and our lives had taken a turn for the best. I no longer had nightmares because I knew he was never coming back, and I got to spend the rest of eternity with the only man that had ever shown me love, even when I didnโt deserve it.โYouโre deserving of much more than my love,โ Lucien said, planting a kiss on my lips as he rested his head on my thighs, as though he could read my thoughts.I smiled, running my fingers through his hair, as my eyes scanned the beach, wondering where the kids were.โMum, dad, look what we found!โ Luca and Lucille chorused, running towards us with their hands full of shells.Lucien sat up, and we both stared at Lucille in disbelief.โMum? Dad?โ Lucien asked, surprised, even though I nudged him not to say anything.She fiddled with her fingers nervously. โIsโฆ is it okay if I call you guys that?โ she asked, wide-eyed.โOf course, weโre your parents after all.

[Lucienโs POV]There was fury evident in my eyes, and even the ever-so courageous Tyler knew he was about to taste my wrath, as I charged towards him with my claws out and fangs bared, ready to tear him limb from limb before my rage could reignite.โStay away from me,โ Tyler barked, and nodded at his people who had been staring the whole time to come to his rescue.โFor Alpha Tyler,โ his most trusted warrior yelled, but the people looked away.โHow many have died? How many more will die? We just managed to start getting our lives back together, but for some reason, our very own dear Alpha wants us to risk our lives for him. Hell no! I have children and I must stay alive to protect them,โ the Gamma stated.The crowd murmured in agreement with her statement.โOnce I get out of this, each one of you would die in the most painful manner, I promise you that!โ Tyler raged.Elder Gaius laughed. โThat wonโt be possible.

[Lucienโs POV]It had always bothered meโฆ how people asked who my son bore resemblance to even when Nivera and I walked down the streets together, but the fact that Luca wasnโt biologically my son hadnโt hurt me like the way it did today. It hurt worse to see the smirk on Tylerโs face and he seemed extremely excited. Why wouldnโt he? No matter what I do, heโll always be Lucaโs father.โCareful now, do you think Luca here would forgive you for getting rid of his true father?โ I heard Jocelynโs voice ask, and I looked up to see her holding Luca tightly by his hand.Instantly, I became numb and stopped dealing Tyler with blows, as I staggered towards where he was and ran my hands all over him to make sure he was okay.โWhat are you doing here, big guy? Are you fine?โ I asked him.โYeah. Mummy followed after you when you left and some ladies came to forcefully take Uncle Ryle and myself,โ he explained.Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and before I could turn around, I was injected w

[Tylerโs POV]It was an open arena, just within the estate. I paced around in full-blown panic. I didnโt mean to, but somehow, I was afraid. The vampire had been the first person to ever win me in a fight, and till date, I could never forget about how he had mercilessly tortured me and had only let me go because of Nivera.A whiff of her scent caught my nose, and I turned around. Malia was standing right behind me, wearing a flowing red dress, with a worried look written on her face.โGreetings, Alpha Tyler,โ she said, with a small bow.โWhat do you want?โ I retorted in a low growl.โI justโฆ I just wanted to wish you good luck,โ she said.โYouโve done that now. You may go,โ I told her.She didnโt leave, but just kept staring at me. โMust you engage in this fight? Itโs been several years and we just started having peace. Canโt you just not fight the vampire?โ she asked.I knew it came from a place of concern, but I was infuriated by her words. โWhy? Do you also think that I wonโt be ab

[Lucienโs POV]I just got off the phone with one of the surgeons and was informed that the date of Celesteโs surgery had been fixed and all the preparations to ensure the surgery was successful had been put in place.A smile spread across my lips as I skipped up the stairs and knocked on her door gently, waiting for her to usher me in. I could perceive that she and Ryle were inside, and unless they were making out or something, they should have answered and opened the door already.โHello, I know youโre in there. Can I come in?โ I asked.What seemed like ages passed, and there was still no response, so I simply just opened the door and walked in.To my surprise, Celeste laid on the bed, looking like a completely different person. No, it wasnโt just the ugly third degree burn scars that still looked hideous despite all the treatments she had undergone, including steadily taking her potions. She looked older, and wrinkles were slowly starting to show on her face, particularly on her for

[Tylerโs POV]โHow is my precious Carl Washington doing today?โ Jocelyn asked as she stepped into the study room. I had been expecting her presence after seeing the terrestrial ball she called a portal dancing next to the door.I shrugged. โIโll never get used to that name,โ I said.โItโs okay. I can just call you Tyler if youโre more comfortable with that. Itโs not like the authorities are always present to monitor everything we have to say,โ she explained, then sat down on a stool beside me and eyed the map I had been working on.A month ago, all the documents had been processed and finalised, and I had been able to move to New Orleans with my family, as well as the other members of the Crescent Pack who had also acquired new identities.The estate I had been able to acquire was more than enough to house the remaining members of our Pack, and slowly, we had been adapting to the human way of life and maintaining our territory.In the near future, we were going to transform more human

[Niveraโs POV]โLet me fucking go. Do you even know who I am and what I can do? Iโm a fucking hybrid, you psychopath,โ I said, as the stranger with the familiar hand grabbed my arms and forced me to go with him.โOh, shut up. Youโre nothing without that useless vampire, and guess what? Heโs no more. Iโve gotten rid of him, and youโre mine now,โ he said.โBold of you to assume that you can easily get rid of Lucien OโHara. And I donโt belong to you. I am no oneโs property,โ I said to him.He pushed me to the ground, making me fall to my knees, so that I now knelt before him, after which he began to drag me by the hair and kick me for no reason. I didnโt know why, but at that point, I was unable to make use of any of my hybrid abilities despite how hard I tried to.โWhat did you do to me? Why am I so weak? Why canโt I use my abilities?โ I asked, trying to break free from whatever was holding me back.Even in the dim light, I could see a smirk appear on his face. โYou should stop trying s

[Tylerโs POV]Meeting with the witch, Celeste, had made me understand how I could save the lives of the people I had left. If the other werewolf communities could find a way to go through my Palace gates, it meant that we were not safe even in the Palace that was expected to be a safe haven.When she spoke about Lucien, the vampire whose face still haunted me in my dreams from time-to-time, I remembered the world I had gone to when I was in search of Nivera. It was a whole different world, beyond the knowledge of any of my werewolf counterparts, and it got me thinking. If I could get my people to that world, they would be safe.Since it appeared that they were mostly humans, nothing was stopping us from migrating there and pretending to be one of them, while we were werewolves in secret. I had no idea on how to go about it, but it seemed to be the only way out for all of us.I couldnโt just let the Crescent Pack go extinct like that. I needed to do something, anything at all, to save

[Lucienโs POV]I was stroking Lucaโs hair as we watched an episode of his favourite cartoon while Nivera made Mac and cheese in the kitchen. All of a sudden, I began to perceive smoke; like something was burning.โBabe, are you on the phone? Check on the food. I think itโs getting burnt,โ I yelled from the living room.โThe food is all right, but I can also perceiveโฆโโLucien! Nivera! Help!โ It was Ryleโs voice and it came up from his bedroom upstairs. Luca and I exchanged glances and Nivera dashed out of the kitchen, looking as confused as I was.โWhatโs wrong?โ she asked.โI donโt know, but letโs find out,โ I said, then told Luca to keep on watching the cartoon while his mum and I went upstairs to see what was going on.The door to Ryleโs room was wide open and the smell of smoke grew even stronger. Words cannot explain the horrid sight I met once we both stepped in, which registered a kind of shock in my brain, and I knew instantly that I would never get over the painful look on Ce
