CHAPTER 25ESTRY: LUNA’S WOLF“Yes. She is in your class. Truth be told, I’ve heard that you guys treat her like a social outcast. Which is unfair, in my opinion.”Selena appeared to be lost. “Which student? Everyone who attends this school is treated equally.”“Max is not, I suppose.” Of course, Max! Why is she constantly hearing that name? “So, Max is to be a part of the group? Why is that? We don’t need her.” “See? This is what I am talking about. You would not have made a comment if it had been a different student. I knew it was true and not just a rumor when I heard about the case about Max.”As she sat back in her chair and folded her arms, Selena laughed. “I don’t understand why you want her to sign up. We are good, after all, and we always bring cups home. Nothing will change even though Max is on the team. We’ll just end up being overpopulated.” “No, Selena, I don’t believe so. No, especially not now that you’ve been lacking.” “What do you mean?” Selena let go of her grip
CHAPTER 26THE AUTOPSY REPORT. “Max, I have heard about Estry before. Once, the former Alpha mentioned her during our night stories when we were kids. She is a wolf. Untamable and extremely vicious. Long ago, she abruptly vanished without anyone knowing why.” Alexander said.“How come I’m not aware of this? Estry? Is she that important?”“Because you preferred to stay with Mom, and yes, she is important. Estry is Luna's wolf, Max. She was Luna’s wolf, but I don’t know the details of her disappearance. Don’t worry, I’ll discover with which Luna she was bonded.” Max swiftly intervened to stop him before he could end their connection. “Wait! I’ve got something. According to what I’ve heard, Estry will arrive tonight during the full moon. Don’t you think that means something?”“That is not possible. She hasn’t been spotted in ages. How is it that she is coming now during the full moon? Unless...”“Selena’s wolf’s identity is unknown to us.” completed Max. “Wait! I think Estry is Selena’
CHAPTER 27 ENQUIRY INTO LUNA NORA She rushed over to the bed, swiftly lifting the sheets to uncover a meticulously arranged file. Grasping it firmly, she unfolded the contents and examined several reports, though they weren’t the information she sought. Determined, she scanned for the name and location of the hospital. Once finished, Selena returned the file to its rightful place, neatly tidied the bed, and silently retreated to her room. As the door creaked open, Dalett and Trisha swiftly scurried into Selena’s closet, seeking refuge. “Guys,” Selena whispered, calling their names, and they cautiously emerged from their hiding place. “I’ve found what I was searching for,” she said, mindful of their mother’s presence downstairs. Trisha approached her with concern. “What’s your plan now that you’ve discovered it? Please don’t tell me you intend to go there.” “I’m heading there,” Selena responded resolutely. “You see, it’s the only way I can uncover the truth about my father’s fate.
CHAPTER 28A PLAN TO FIND THE AUTOPSY Max grinned at Alexander, having strategized earlier with Dylan about his training schedule. They patiently waited until Dylan left, giving them the privacy they needed to search the mansion. Alexander led the way since he still remembered the location of the library. He turned on the lights and closed the door to block out any unwanted disturbances. As they approached the library, Alexander took the right side while Max took the left. They frantically flipped through the pages of various books, but all they encountered were references to previous alphas. Max couldn’t hold back her disappointment. “I told you it was pointless. Now, Titus will know we were here.” Alexander reassured her, “No, he won’t. I will eliminate our scent, and we shouldn’t lose hope just yet. We haven’t explored the entire library.” Exhausted, Max sat down in a chair she had stumbled upon and glanced around the room. As her gaze shifted towards the library, she noticed s
CHAPTER 29THE ATTACK Selena hurriedly rushed towards her friend, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. Without wasting time, she focused her attention on the computer screen, eager to uncover the truth that lay within.“I have a strong feeling that they conducted the test right after they transported him to the hospital,” Selena speculated, her voice tinged with a sense of urgency. With a determined click, she accessed the report titled “Mr. O’Brien’s Autopsy,” hoping to find the answers she desperately sought.“Homicide?” she exclaimed, her gaze shifting towards Trisha, seeking confirmation and solace in the face of the unsettling revelation. Leaning over once again, she scrutinized the intricate marks and diagrams that adorned the body in the diagram, captivated by their significance. Alongside them, she found detailed explanations, like breadcrumbs leading her closer to the truth. According to reports, she read, “The injury on my father’s body is deeper, and hi
CHAPTER 30IMMUNE TO SILVER BLADE “Me?” Selena gave a snort. “Or you. Which life were you living when you encountered mine? Were you a criminal?”Estry ignored. “Why would werewolves want you dead, even though that’s what they want? I doubt that they are aware of you just yet.”“Explain what you mean.”Estry let out a moan. “You should know a lot about werewolves, but don’t worry, you’ll find out when the time is right.” Selena was confused. She hasn’t accepted that she is a werewolf, so Estry wants to tell her about the beginnings of the species. “You are aware. You’re not as bad as you think you are.”“Oh, I assure you. I am a deadly, evil being. I just wanted to be kind to you because I didn’t want you to hurt yourself. I will also have to die, and I’m not prepared to return.”Selena let out a sigh. “I have no interest in finding out where you came from at all. I’m not really curious. Believe me.” When morning finally arrived and the moon disappeared, she was eager to regain her
CHAPTER 31NORA’S STORY“Not at all. She won’t if she gets medical attention right away.” Estry dropped the knife to the ground. “It will be tough for her to transition into a wolf in just a few months.”* * * * * * * * * * *Time was an important resource, and Estry enjoyed learning about Luna Nora’s happiness every time they spoke. But the betrayal turned her into a dark beast who is unwilling to even experience love for anyone. Thirty years ago was when it all began in the town of Hauling Coven, when love banished her master to the afterlife.When Nora was younger, she was a happy, contented child who never felt safe but was always had a smile on her face. At age 18, she experienced her first transformation into a wolf-like creature, and Estry wanted to be close to her because of that happiness. She liked Nora’s positive attitude and friendliness. On her way to the woods to pick some flowers, though, Nora experienced her first romantic moment. She was a beautiful creature, a membe
CHAPTER 32A BAIT“What is causing you to feel so down?” Selena asked after Estry sighed. “That does not matter to you.”“Do not tempt me; you know you are using my body.”Ignoring her, Estry took a step toward Trisha. Estry turned to face the utterly unperturbed Trisha. She hated having to help them, but she had to do as Selena said. Selena is her only hope of finding Theodore. She carried Dalett and Trisha on her back as she exited the lab. When Selena woke up the next morning, she found herself naked on her bed. Dalett and Trisha fell asleep on the couch. She groaned in pain, trying to remember how she got there, but her memory of the fight between the two brown werewolves that had attacked them was gone. “Wake up.” Selena gave Dalett and Trisha a tap. “School.” Trisha sighed and put her head back on the pillow after taking a moment to raise it off it. "I am exhausted. I am not sure I want to attend school.”“Alright, it’s all good. I will not force you, but tell your mom that
CHAPTER 170OH! IT WASN’T A DREAM?“Selena, it’s too late. It’s already getting to my heart. There’s no way I’m going to get through this.”“Stop talking.” Selena sobbed as she struggled to hold Titus in her arms. As they approached the mansion, it was already ablaze. Titus didn’t have the energy to rush inside and save anyone. His brother and the other werewolves were inside, and he could sense their agony. The pain was too much for him to bear, so he shut his eyes right there. “Titus, Titus, Titus!” Selena yelled. “Stay with me. I will save you, okay?” There was no more response, and his body had become completely cold.“Titus. You can’t die now.” She placed him on the ground. “I know you’re hearing me, and you won’t die. I’ll save you. Okay? I’ll heal you.” She held his hand and stared up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she shows up too late. Selena started crying, but stopped abruptly when she remembered something. She gasped. “The Red W
CHAPTER 169DECISION BETWEEN FAMILY AND THE PACK “I can’t believe he is been your cousin this entire time. I was curious when he told me his surname, but then he told me some stories about it that made me feel sorry for him. I am sorry I didn’t tell you about Easton.” Selena said. She and Titus talked until morning arrived. He had consoled her and made her feel better the night before, but Selena and Titus still couldn’t believe Tyler had gone. It was just like losing her father. He was gone forever, never to be seen or heard from again. “You’re not to blame. He purposefully approached you. He knew who you were all along and approached you, but he could not turn your mind against us.”“What do you think caused him to do what he did?” “I’m not sure, but I’ve been searching for him for months. He mentioned something about telling me who was on my death-bead. He desperately wanted me to die. Actually, we all assumed he had died. When we were younger, there was this story that circulat
CHAPTER 168THE FORGOTTEN COUSIN “Luna, where have you been?” One of them asked. Her voice was trembling. Selena was confused. She closed the door behind herself as she approached them. “What exactly happened?” “This is what happens when you have a half-breed Luna,” another person commented.“You mean turned?” The first one spoke rudely. She returned her gaze to Selena. “Darkness has fallen over us since you joined our pack. Uncle Theodore died; our pack was attacked, and...” She paused. The words couldn’t leave her mouth. Selena was waiting, but her hand was in hers. When she looked down, she saw Dylan. “Don’t mind them, sister-in-law.” Dylan smiled. “You aren’t to blame. They are simply attempting to direct their anger and blame at someone. If you’re looking for my brother, he is in the graveyard. “He has been there for hours.” “Graveyard? What do you mean?”“You should go and meet him. He’s going to explain everything to you. As you can see, this room is already full of werewo
CHAPTER 167SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED ...your granddaughter is among us. A werewolf.” Patricia began to laugh. “You’re looking for a way out of this. Don’t mind her, father. She is talking nonsense.” “Am I?” Max laughed again. “Here’s an even more shocking story. She is our Luna. Our pack’s female leader. I’m sure you are wondering how this happened. On the night of the red moon, the Alpha bit her and made her one of us. “He’s even married to her right now.” “Nonsense!” Ferdinand yelled in anger. “Believe me; I bet your daughter-in-law knows as well. Selena’s sister was among those involved. They’re doing everything they can to ensure her safety. Even from you, Ferdinand.” “That’s enough!” Ferdinand furrowed his brow. “Get her out of here and make her suffer,” he instructed the two men who approached her.“Get your filthy hands off me!” Max yelled as the two big men grabbed her. She tried to transform, but a sleeping mask was placed over her face, and she immediately fell asleep.
CHAPER 166PINKY SWEAR BEFORE I DIE “You’re making me angry right now.” Ansel spoke as he sprinted towards Titus. Titus has never seen a wolf run that fast. Ansel jumped immediately, his claws long and sharp. Titus raised one leg to protect himself, but then he heard a low groan. He moved his leg away from his face and noticed Tyler in front of him. Tyler fell instantly, and Titus caught him before he hit the ground. Tyler’s mouth dripped with blood as he gradually reverted to human form. Titus focused his gaze on him. He called “Tyler.” As Tyler attempted to talk, more blood gushed out of his mouth. “Shh. Don’t say anything.” Titus examined the wound that Ansel had caused, which was quite deep. “Why are you not healing?” “He cannot. He is already as good as dead.” Ansel began laughing. He showed Titus a rib that he had broken from Tyler’s. “He is incomplete without this. He will die, Alpha, and I will return to finish you.” Ansel started laughing wickedly as he walked away with th
CHAPTER 165MY NAME IS ANSEL AND I’M 10 TIMES STRONGER Titus began to laugh. “How convenient for you all to believe the Alpha would lay down and give you his head without a fight.” Max took a deep breath before starting her car. She hasn’t heard from her brother in days. Reaching him through a mindlink was also impossible. It had never happened before, and it bothered her. She started her car and drove away from the school. As she drove, she was overcome with mourning over Uncle Theodore’s death. The fact that he had abandoned them was still unbelievable. Max came to a halt when she saw two cars in the distance blocking her path. She turned off her engine and looked forward. She saw a slim, tall woman and two men approach her. Max waited in her car for a while to see if they were actually coming towards her. “Your name must be Max. The pale sister of Alexander Terry,” said the woman, smiling. Max was inquisitive. “And who are you? How do you know my name?” “My name is Patricia,
CHAPTER 164WE’RE UNDER ATTACK “It was unbelievable.” Tyler sighed. “I will talk to him, Luna. You don’t need to worry. Titus isn’t such a person like that. I know him well; I will talk to him, and you two will be fine in no time. Right now, I’m on my way to his house. I will make sure he speaks with you.” Tyler hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. He felt a sensation when he put his hand on the doorknob. He opened the door, and his jaw dropped open. Tyler walked inside and slowly closed the door behind him. Standing in the doorway, he noticed several girls in bikinis walking around. Some people were carrying bottles of wine as they passed by. One person was seen dancing to the music while not wearing a bra or shorts. Entirely naked. “Titus?” In his search for his friend, he passed by those girls. “Hello, handsome. Come have some fun with us!” One of the girls commented as she rubbed her hands all over him. “Absolutely not!” Tyler said as she dashed towards the stairwell. L
CHAPTER 163I, TITUS THE ALPHA REJECT YOU SELENA “You should leave here, Selena.” Titus stood up. “I think you should go.”“Well. I won’t leave until you tell me what is wrong with you. Titus, you need me.” Titus began to laugh. “Do I need you?” He just shook his head. The last thing he needs is a murderer’s daughter. The daughter of the murderer of his parents. And the last thing she needs is the man who stole her father away from him. She isn’t at fault, but he still can’t be with her unless he bears a great deal of guilt. Titus turned his back to her. “Leave while I’m still being very nice to you.” “Titus. Is this some sort of prank? Because if it is, I don’t think I’ll enjoy this game as much.” Selena approached him. “Titus. What’s going on?” She took his hands and placed them against her face. “Do you love me? You expressed your love for me, and I reciprocated. Didn’t we say forever? We got married, right?” Titus worked hard to keep the tears at bay. He was in pain, but he re
CHAPTER 162A PICNIC “I was surprised when she told my sister she would return early.” Selena left his side and went back to her closet. “What are your thoughts on this one?” “But it is pretty thin. There’s a lot of cold outside.” “You, Selena, are a werewolf. You don’t feel cold. Come on, if you need fur, I can cover you with mine.” Selena blushed as she grabbed the top from him. “You’re so good with words.” She wore the top and retrieved her trousers from the bed. Selena was ready in no time. When she had finished, she turned to face Titus. “Let’s get the fuck outta here,” she exclaimed. They started their walk right into the woods. When Selena suggested taking the car, Titus declined. He wanted to spend the remaining hours holding her hand and keeping her close to him. They chuckled their way to the nearest tree, holding hands. Selena was astounded by what she was seeing. She came to a stop and looked at him. “No, you didn’t.” She was stunned. Titus nodded. “I hoped to see a
