- TITANIA-It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining softly and the air was cool, making it an ideal time to take a stroll in Spring Valley. I walked around the neighborhood with Emilia. Neru informed all pack members the other day that I am Thanus Morgan's mate, so most of them are already accustomed to seeing me around. They even referred to me as their luna, which felt peculiar. A long sigh escaped my lips. I should get used to it because I had already made a bargain with the alpha to start over in Dark Moon."My father's pack is twice as big as this pack," Emilia said as we walked to the east side of the region. I looked at her and realized she wasn't being overly cocky."The Black Forest is fairly far from the east continent; why spend a vacation here when there are nicer places close to your territory?"Despite the fact that we began as rivals and had several difficult encounters, the bad blood between us faded. I had no idea if she had altered her attitude because she had di
-TITANIA-The night breeze was cool, yet I felt the opposite. It felt like my entire body was in a furnace. I put on the air conditioning and opened the windows, but nothing helped. I'd been tossing and turning in bed for hours, feeling even more sweaty and tense.Fucking hell! What is happening to me?My gaze was drawn to Thanus on the couch, who had his eyes closed but was clearly awake."When are we going back to the cabin, sweetheart? It's more comfortable being there than here," I questioned, scratching my arms, which felt like needles were poking me."Maybe next week," he answered, swiftly turning on his side and withdrawing away from me.My brow furrowed when I noticed something fishy in his voice as if he was having difficulty speaking. But, when I felt incessant pricking on my body, my mind was drawn back to my current predicament. "What the hell! Is there a virus in your room, Thanus? I've been itching for hours and it's crazy hot here!" I exclaimed, annoyed and harshly.He
-TITANIA-The evening sky was unusually murky, with no night luminaries visible. A strong breeze blew, signaling that bad weather was on the way, but the people of Harrington were unconcerned as they crammed and made noise on the busy street. Over a minute, I stormed out of my apartment in sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and sneakers, my hands tucked into the pockets of my hoodie. I joined the crowds and took the shortest route to work. "Heck," I muttered under my erratic breathing, not in the mood to walk 'cause I needed to take my big bike to the mechanic earlier to fix some problems. I could call a cab, but the drivers I'd previously encountered were either jerks or perverts, therefore, walking was a better option to avoid spilling blood on worthless people. That was my thought as I turned to an ally, unaware that three unfamiliar men were following me. They appeared on my side and dragged me into a dark, disgusting, and stinking nook when they saw an opportunity. I was taken abac
-TITANIA-There was one thing I couldn't get away from the last few days. Alcohol. Being dumped by my boyfriend and left with a mountain of debt stinks! I had no choice but to keep drinking until I passed out."Get out of here!"Christ! And that woman's voice only aggravated my hangover. I was extremely intoxicated the other night and crashed at my mother's house.Closing my eyes tightly, I went back to sleep and completely ignored her. Just as I was about to snooze, I felt a sharp object stab my left arm, which was resting on top of my face. I got up from the long sofa in the middle of the living room with a loud hiss."What the hell!" I grumbled through my teeth, pulling a chef knife from my flesh and tossing it away. Sniggering, I reached for my backpack, took out a clean white shirt, and wrapped it around my injured arm."I said get out!" the woman screamed, sprinting towards me from the kitchen door and slapping me across the face.The impact rang in my ear, and I winced. 'Fuck!
-Titania-A powerful blow hit my face.'Oh, sweet Goddess!'As I stumbled backward, I mentally grumbled and shook my head, suddenly seeing stars and black dots in my vision.My knees weakened, and I immediately relied on my legs to support my weight. I was still dizzy and disoriented when I received another smack and a hard kick to the chest.What the fucking shit!There was a loud cracking sound inside my body, and then I flew into the cage wall. My back collided with the metal, and I collapsed to the floor in agony.As I curled into a ball, the audience outside the cage shouted in exhilaration."Hurts!" I was wailing not because of the beatings I had received from my opponent, but because of the sorrow in my heart.It was my grandfather's funeral that morning. The only nice person who ever made me feel wanted. Who took care of me after my mother rejected me and sent me to the villa? And, as Liz previously stated, he is my favorite old man.Rather than attending the funeral, I spent
-SPRING VALLEY-(Third POV)In the middle of Spring Valley's wilderness, there was a sizable private property that was off-limits to regular people. It was surrounded by barbed wire and iron fences, which piqued the interest of passers-by hunting for wild animals. They occasionally attempted to sneak in but were quickly apprehended by the men patrolling and securing the entire area.An old man witnessed a human transforming into a large dog one day, and word spread. They eventually avoided that section of the woods because they were afraid of disturbing the entity or whatever lurked there.Without anyone's knowledge, the land is home to more than just an element, but also a pack of werewolves led by a volatile alpha. And at that moment, his loud grumble blended in with the insect and bird's screech. Thanus Morgan, the Dark Moon pack's alpha, appeared disgruntled. Everyone could hear his voice booming inside the packhouse, and later, a wooden table flew out of his office window and sma
- Titania-My brows tangled, forming thin lines on my forehead. My legs came to a halt as the corners of my mouth drew down.'What now? Is my late grandfather certain of his last will? That he would like me to stay in that place for a month? To be honest, I assumed the structure in front of me was an abandoned house or something, but it wasn't based on the masculine male species standing so tall in the cabin's door."Are you going to stand there all night, woman?" he asked abruptly.'Damn.' I mentally cursed and flinched. 'His voice, like his body, is manly. It's deep and cold.' Something in it almost made me shiver, but I pretended he did not affect me. A soft hum broke out from my lips before I pointed at myself. "Are you talking to me?" I inquired, scanning his entire physique for a quick assessment.His stature is impressive, and he has a well-toned body. He's wearing only a pair of jersey shorts, allowing me to admire openly his perfectly carved abs.The man's left brow arched
- THIRD POV- (Dark Moon pack)Thanus Morgan's inner wolf throwing a fit was something he was unable to handle. Consequently, Kaede paced back and forth to the back of his head causing his lips to press to a thin line."Let's go back to our mate!" his wolf muttered, a hint of anger in his grizzled voiceAfter the heated conversation with Titania, the alpha left her at the cabin and went to the packhouse to hear Neru's report.Leaning back on his chair, Thanus sighed heavily. Even though he disliked having someone other than Kaede tell him what to do, he could still feel the irritation seeping into his veins. "Restrain yourself, mutt. I would never allow the Moon Goddess to manipulate us, even if that woman is our mate."In anger, Kaede hissed back at him, but Thanus immediately raised the barrier on his mind and silenced him before he could initiate a fight. He took another deep breath and composed himself before standing up
