MasukAuthor's POV Back in the courtyard, the war had worsened terribly. Several palace warriors already lay brutally injured across the ground while Aeron's soldiers continued advancing aggressively.Aldrich was still fighting Aeron viciously when suddenly a strange blast of power exploded across the battlefield.Everyone froze briefly, and then soldiers started screaming.Several of Aeron's warriors were suddenly thrown violently backward like invisible hands had grabbed them.The Christmas garlands hanging around the courtyard suddenly lifted into the air unnaturally before wrapping tightly around soldiers' throats.The Elders' eyes widened in shock immediately.Mara.Standing at the top of the staircase with glowing eyes and rage burning across her face.“She should be giving birth!” one Elder shouted in horror. They had thought she wouldn't be a problem and would be taken care of later once they've secured the palace. “How is she here?!”Mara raised her hand again and another wave of
Author's POVThe beautiful Christmas decorations hanging across the palace courtyard looked almost haunting due to the chaos consuming the kingdom.The giant Christmas tree standing proudly at the center of the courtyard had been knocked sideways during the fight, its golden ornaments shattered across the bloodstained ground while garlands burned beneath scattered flames. Candles that were meant to bring warmth and celebration now flickered violently beside dying warriors and overturned tables.Screams echoed everywhere. The scent of blood filled the cold night air heavily. Palace guards clashed brutally against Aeron's warriors while several of the Elders stood among the battlefield openly commanding attacks against the kingdom they once swore loyalty to.Some fought in human form with swords and daggers while others had already shifted into massive wolves that lunged viciously at one another. Everything was chaos and destruction.And standing in the middle of it all with fury burni
Aldrich's POVI had faced wars, bloodshed, executions and rebellions. I had watched men die in front of me without blinking once. I had watched kingdoms burn to the ground, yet I felt nothing. Not pain nor sympathy. But nothing in my entire life prepared me for the terrifying sound of Mara screaming in pain behind those bedroom doors.My entire body felt rigid with panic as I paced restlessly through the hallway outside our chambers while another cry escaped her lips from inside the room.“Push, Luna! Push again!” The midwife's voice echoed. “You have to keep trying.”My chest ached painfully as I imagined her struggles to bringing our children to the world. Goddess.I hated this. I hated standing outside while she suffered and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.I ran a frustrated hand through my hair before storming toward the door again.Lilith immediately grabbed my arm for what was probably the tenth time that night. “Aldrich, calm down.”“How exactly do you expec
Lilith's POV Warm laughter and distant Christmas songs playing from a nearby stereo echoed through the palace hallways as I sat cross-legged on Mara's bed while watching her struggle to arrange the ridiculous amount of baby clothes scattered around the room. She looked so exhausted with her protruding stomach..Honestly, the entire palace looked completely different now in a way that made me feel alive, bright and happy than I have been in months. Garlands hung around the walls, candles glowed softly in almost every hallways and enormous Christmas trees decorated with gold ribbons and sparkling ornaments stood proudly throughout the kingdom.Even the servants, guards and pack members looked happier than I have ever seen them. It still felt surreal.If someone had told me a year ago that Alpha Aldrich Valtor, my own brother who hated the mere word Christmas, would one day allow Christmas celebrations inside this palace again, I would've laughed directly in their face.Yet here we wer
Author's POVElder Silas' study was unusually tense despite the loud excitement echoing faintly from outside the palace walls.The Elders sat around the long wooden table with glasses of wine in front of them while low whispers filled the room as they discussed the sudden changes happening inside the BlueMoon Pack.For the first time in many years, the palace was alive again. The sound of laughter could be heard everywhere, servants moved around with smiles on their faces and colorful decorations now covered almost every part of the kingdom.It felt strange. Almost unfamiliar. But also exciting. “I still cannot believe Alpha Aldrich truly brought Christmas back,” Elder Marlowe muttered quietly while shaking his head slowly. “I thought he would carry that hatred forever. Maybe he is not as crazy as we think.”Another Elder sighed deeply before leaning back in his chair. “Luna Mara changed him more than we realized.”A few others nodded in agreement.Ever since Mara entered the palace,
Mara's POVAt first, only a few pack members gathered around curiously to watch as the delivery men began offloading the Christmas packages from the large vans parked outside the palace gates but before I knew it, almost everyone in the palace compound had gathered around us.The expressions on their faces were almost identical because they all looked confused, shocked and excited at the same time as they stared at the giant Christmas trees, colorful lights, shiny ribbons, decorative balls, gift boxes and countless Christmas items being brought down one after another from the vans.Whispers immediately filled the atmosphere while everyone tried to understand what exactly was happening because for many of them, this was probably the first time in years they had seen anything related to Christmas inside the BlueMoon Pack.Despite their confusion, they still joined the workers happily and helped carry the decorations inside while excitement slowly spread through the crowd.Some of the wo
