~VENUS~I hummed while Aunt Aret braided my hair, we sat on the grass of the Supreme Luna Queen's gardens, taking in the scenery. “When we're you going to tell me?” She immediately stopped braiding, and I sat properly to face her. “What do you mean, Vee?” “I thought you said we were close, I tell you things, and you tell me.” I ranted, getting uo from the grass. The rays of the sun hit my face, making me move closer under the shade which the tall oak tree had created.She chuckled lowly, shaking her head, as if still oblivious to what I was talking about. “Honestly, Venus, Please elaborate.” “I heard, I heard you, Uncle Mobali and the others, you are an a…”“An Aryik.” Aunt Aret finished, her face had turned gloomy and her hands trembled.I reached out to hold her hand but pulled away in shock, a stinging sensation surrounding my hand. “I'm sorry, it's really hard to control.”“Kaerlia.”We turned to see Visanyos standing in front of the garden gate.“It's time for training,”
~. .~“It's Lorraine.” As it spread through the mind link, Aret and Venus ran towards Mayan-Odette's cottage, where sobs filled the surrounding.“It's the dark slumber poisoning.” Mayan-Odette diagnosed as she crushed some herbs together, moving into another room.Laurel rushed in minutes after Aret, staring at her little sister and mother, tears welled up in her eyes.Laurel was the least emotional of the twins; whenever something had happened, she would be the one to keep a hard face while Lorraine would be wailing and crying.She would always say, 'I stay strong because I know it will always be fine.' Now she stood next to Aret and her eyes reddened with tears threatening to spill.“W-what happened?” Aret asked, gnashing her teeth. She stared into Laurel's eyes, who immediately averted her gaze, then at Nova and Yolanda.“We couldn't find her at first, then we found her in one of the designing rooms, out cold.” Yolanda spoke up, not looking directly into Aret's eye
~DWAYNE~Mobali had insisted on coming along, and he decided to drag his brother with him.The maids packed the little luggage into the carriage as I hopped on, waiting for Mobali and Aidan who stood in front of Luna Aret and Keenan.We were heading to Acros Peak, where all the male werewolves of age trained to join the Royal Army or guard force. It was the time of the year when we needed to recruit more warriors into the Royal Army and Mobali insisted on going along to evaluate them himself.'I do not want just any pup who thinks my army is his playground.' Mobali had said earlier.“How long will you be gone?” I heard Keenan ask Mobali while Aret kept her arms folded.“3 days, we shouldn't stay longer and I'm leaving Aret in charge, and you assist her.” Mobali replied, earning a nod from keenan.His eyes drift to Aret who hadn't said anything since. “Aret, is everything okay?”She nodded, glancing at Aidan then at Mobali, “Yes, Alpha… Everything is fine. We will take care of things he
~ARET~“Aret!”“Aret!”“Kaerlia! Wake up!” I groaned, rubbing my eyes as a voice kept calling me.“I'm up, I'm up, jeez.” I muttered, lifting myself off the bed, shielding my eyes from the bright light.I opened my eyes to see I was no longer in my room, but in a field with tall grasses around me… Feeling a pull in my arm, I turned to see Lorraine looking bright and healthy.She was no longer looking lean and her eyes were full of life, her smile had a lot of energy in it and her brunette hair had its shine.“Lo-”“Aret, dear, I have been calling you for a while now, what's gotten into you?” She asked, making tears fall freely from my eyes.“Lorraine! It's time for lunch!” We both turned to see a figure standing beside a house, calling out to Lorraine from a distance.“I'll be there soon, brother!” She replied with a wave, making me gasp in horror.Asher.If Asher is here, that means… I am in Aturion.I looked back to Lorraine who kept staring at me, “I'm sorry, Lorraine.” I said repe
~. ~.Dressed in the beautiful clothes that Lorraine had made for them, everyone gathered in the hall, bidding farewell to the designer.“She will forever be in our hearts, she will forever be a cherished tribe member of crescent hills.” Mobali said, raising a toast to the beautiful painting of Lorraine Snow.She was buried earlier and everyone was having fun and smiling like she had requested.“I'm sorry about your hand.” Aret said, staring at Mobali's bandaged hand which he kept in his pocket.“It's fine, Remember I'm a supreme wolf, ill heal before the end of tomorrow, stop worrying.” He said with a smirk, making Aret raise her eyebrow.“Worried? Ha! You think too highly of yourself.” She laughed, earning a flick on her forehead.~AIDAN~I stood near the balcony with my sister and Mayan -Odette.“Awn, Look at Big Brother and Aret, finally they are getting along.” Velia squealed happily as I stared at the duo laughing and flicking each other on the forehead.“Don't jinx it,
~• •~“D-did you finish this?” Nova asked with a cracked voice, the door opened to reveal Karelia and Khione standing at opposite ends of the door.“My sister would have wanted me to, and besides, sewing wasn't really that difficult.” Lauren said, stretching out her palms, revealing the blisters and cuts that were slowly healing.She was a werewolf but after her half(Lorraine) died, she lost the ability to transform and her healing became slower.Nova brought her hand to her mouth, muffling her sob.“Laurel, my baby!” Khione said, engulfing Laurel into a tight hug as they both sobbed.“I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough.” Laurel sobbed, making Khione glare at her angrily.“What do you mean? The fact that you left to finish your sister's last work even hurting yourself is the strongest thing you've ever done, and I am proud of you! Okay?” Khione said, brushing Laurel's hair with her hand as she motioned for Nova and Kaerlia to join in.“Okay mommy.”“Now come on, l
~.NOVA.~ Our Dyraet was beautiful, and the reception was fun. Dwayne kissed me softly, passionately as we arrived at the Supreme Beta Quarters.The second we walk through the door, his kiss becomes more passionate. He hugged me against the wall and kissed me, one hand cupping my face. The other hand came forward and grabbed my breast, squeezing it gently. The groan coming from my throat was all the encouragement he needed. You slowly start kneading my breasts with both hands.“Fuck, Nova.”“Hey, help me take off my dress.” His hands fumble a little with the buttons. Finally, I got rid of the dress. My breasts were still trapped in the long green corset-like bra, but Dwayne's finger pushed a cup down, exposing the nipple. The cold breeze tickled my nipple, making me shiver.I opened my eyes to take a look at Dwayne's face; His face looked like a child opening his birthday present. He rolls my nipple between his thumb and index finger while kissing me. Finally, he lowered his head an
~KAERLIA~The bright sun shines directly into the massive window in my office, lighting up the office.As I sat in my office, the weight of my responsibilities as the future Supreme Luna Queen of the Crescent Hills pack pressed upon me. The scent of aged parchment and old leather surrounded me, a reminder of the countless decisions I had to make for our pack's well-being.“So, Your highness… When will you read it?” Hawaii asked while she organized some files on the shelf thanks to Ahana. I kept staring at the letter. Its wax seal bore the emblem of the “Lunar Clash: Blades & Gifts Challenge.”an occasion that brought together the most influential Lunas and Beta Females from different packs. My fingers traced the seal's intricate design, anxiety fluttering within me. With a deep breath, I broke the seal and unfolded the letter, absorbing the details that would shape the destiny of not just my pack, but our interconnected world of werewolves.••Dear Aret,I hope this letter finds you
