Luna Violeta, and the others leave me bleeding and shivering on the floor as they all get into a big hall opposite the open space. With the whole of me still weak, “Vance…. Can you hear me?” I reached out to my girl. “The pain is unbearable. Can you heal me?” She wiggles her tail a little, but doesn't actually move from her lying spot. I know she is hurting. Not from the whip, but from the betrayal of the Alpha of the Rogue. That’s one thing with wolves and their fated mates. If they sense or get any little rejection or betrayal from their mate, they tend to dwell in the hurt for long, hiding away from the surface of the earth. Most of them stay in the dark for as long as, and their other half-human half, can’t even tell or know how to go about the situation.With how much hurt Vance is feeling at this moment, I know I'm left with the option of treating my wounds myself. My palms press onto the floor, trying to push my weak body up. But there isn't any energy in me, and my body coll
“I’m the one in charge. Let me handle things my way,” Luna Violeta brings down her hand fan, her head held up high.The anger on the face of Luna Marlowe darkens like one who is about to bring down the entire building. And her cheeks suddenly heat up in embarrassment as she lowers her face.Yeah, it’s definitely what I thought - these two are against each other. Smells like a victory for me. Luna Violeta sends her gaze to me. “I thought you were a Gamma. What happened that you can’t heal? That stupid wolf of yours roared at me the last time but doesn't have even the slightest ability to heal you.” Her head moves in the direction of the servants behind her. “Tug her up, and bring her out,” Luna Violeta orders.The servants, just like the idiots that they are, rush toward me, about tugging my arms but Melissa holds both of them by their hair, dragging them away from me.They scream, trying to break off Melissa’s grip but she isn't letting go of them. She tugs them harder and all two, t
Luna Violeta spreads her fan, breezing herself. “I believe my little explanation says it all. Now back to your first task….” Her body adjusts, facing the muck pit of the pig farm. She points right at it with her fan, “There is a precious stone in that muck pit. Search for it, and return it to me. You have until sunset.”“W-what?” An unexpected whiff breaks out of my lips. My head slightly arcs as I try to make sense of this so-called task. But nothing makes sense. “So you want me to enter this muck pit filled with pig poo, just to search for a precious stone. Why?…. I don’t see a….”“Every new female went through the process. But then, it isn't a must. You can say no and fail the task.” Her head snakes closer to me. “Don’t you think so, Dear?” She whispers.This is it all along. Luna Violeta is one of the major reasons why the young Lunas fail their task and finally get their lives cut short. To her, it’s just a game, but to me, it’s a means of survival. And I will. Pushing my hair
“Finally….. Your true colors are out. Who would have thought that the one who feels she is above everyone will easily give her body to another man at his first attempt?” Luna Marlowe walks closer to us, her hands hugging her chest.“It’s not w-what you….saw. I promise,” I snatch my arm away from the strange man, and quickly pick up my dress. “I don’t know who he is and this…”“A misunderstanding?” She cuts me off. Chuckles mischievously, “I know it is. Everyone here aside from you knows it’s a misunderstanding. But how will you explain it to our husband?”“What do you mean?” My shocked gaze darts through the faces of everyone, one after the other. Strangely, the stun they had on their faces a few seconds back has faded into nasty smiles. They knew about…. No, they planned it all. This was a trap and they succeeded in catching me in it.My heart races faster as I send my eyes to the face of the strange man, my lips slowly parting to utter the word ‘Why?’ But I can’t speak. He stares ba
“Nothing is wrong, Luna. The stone was to be found and it has been found. You wanted a precious stone, so have it.”“Where is Luna Marlowe?” She roars out, her voice echoing through my head.My head faintly slants backward as I gust in frustration. “Don’t you think I'm the wrong person to as….?”“She was with you. How then are you here without her?” She cuts in.My weak hand falls to my side as I feel my blood heating up in rage. “How sure are you that she was with me?….. Did you see us together?….. And what business do I have with Luna Marlowe?” Violeta is getting on my last nerves. I'm struggling within me not to shove her out of my way.“You disgusting thing. Do you think I have no idea of Luna Marlowe’s where about?”“Then go search for her……. Why bug me?” “Because I know she…...”“The task,” I cut in. “Why are you no longer focusing on the result? Or is there more to the task?” I stare right into her eyes. “What do you mean? And why do you keep changing the topic?”“Your precio
“Are you alright, Vynessa? You keep acting lost,” Melissa holds my hand, shaking it a bit.Clearing my throat inwardly, “Yeah. I'm great. How much time do I have left for me to start dressing up?”“Not much time. You don’t look good, Vynessa. But I will try to cover your swallowed eyes with some light makeup. You can’t attend the event, looking this way,” she suggests.Honestly, sometimes I wonder why Melissa acts so nice towards me. Her mission is to watch over me and make sure that I carry out every task given to me by Alpha Thane. But with how much she is invested in me, it makes me think she took up that responsibility just to take care of me. “Come have your seat, Vynessa,” Melissa takes the towel from me, dropping it by the side. With her palms resting on my shoulders, she leads me to the front of the dressing mirror, helping me sit down. She reaches for an oil ornament with a pleasant fragrance. Melissa pulls out a different seat, and brings it closer to me. She fixes herself
He saunters towards my old husband. They exchange pleasantries like old-time friends and the Alpha of the Rogue goes to take his seat. He didn't even look at me for a second. Great!!Things should stay that way. At least, I'm finally free from him. My major focus should be on how to be free from Alpha Thane and the other demons. The event goes deeper into other aspects. And then, it’s time for the new recruits to display. I’ve never attended this event, but I’ve heard so many horror stories about it. Rumor had it that this event was the final stage for the initiation. The warriors got to fight for their last survival and only the bravest survived. I heard it was always a bloodbath.The new recruits stepped into the open space. All of them dressed in just their pants. Bare chest and feet. Their jaws clenched, lips tightened, eyes blazing, brows furrowed as they wore their battle-ready faces. It’s indeed going to be a bloodbath.A huge man with a monster face also stomped right into
“Will you help me, Luna? Please,” the lady asks, but I'm too stunned to respond. My tears fill my eyes as the hurt of the death of these men becomes fresh in my heart. I try to make sense of the information, and why anyone will take the life of others just to make someone else unhappy.“What’s your name?” Melissa asks the lady.“Muna.”“Alright, Muna. Get us every piece of evidence needed. With how unfitted this uniform is on you, I know you don’t belong in this mansion but you had to sneak your way in. I understand the risk. I will try to make your next access easy. I know where to find you,” Melisa gives the response.“Thank you, Lady,” Muna says to Melissa before standing on her feet. A little bit of hope settles on Muna’s face as she bows her head to me once again, before darting away. “Luna,” Melissa holds my trembling hand. “It’s time to return to the event.”A soft sigh of weakness tears through me as my head lightly nods. Everything is becoming too complicated for me to hand
Deeper my feet amble into the forest. My nose dances, trying to catch a whiff of the scent of the Caveman. But then it grips nothing. My heart ran to my chest. My baby. How far is the Caveman with him? What will my baby be feeling at this point? What’s the Caveman feeding him with? My baby is too fragile to be in the hands of a beast. I can’t imagine how much he has cried, searching for me. How much he wants to be in the arms of his mother and suck from my breast. The thought of it. The thought of my baby made drops of tears roll down my cheeks. Tears I promised not to let out. But my heart is aching for my baby. I can’t deny the fact that I'm scared. I know not what has become of him.My throat drags as I gulp down. With the back of my hands, I brush away the tears on my cheeks. I have to be strong. This was what I promised myself and my boy. I’m done being weak.Taking in a deep breath, I go deeper into the forest. The only thing my hands are gripping so well is hope. Hope that I'
Vynessa;Pacing back and forth in the room. Fingers running through my hair, hands placed on my waist. What should I do with the Caveman? How do I make him give my baby back to me? Can’t ever leave this place without my baby. I know he knows. This explains why he is holding my boy captive. He knows I can't do without my child. No Mother can. But I'm never gonna give him his desire. Never.It’s dusk outside. Helena and the young lady are busy mixing some herbs for me for the night. My scar isn’t totally healed. It sting and hurt sometimes. Liquid drips out of it. The scar reaction has gotten worse for over some hours after the Caveman pulled that madness with me. He was too aggressive with my body, causing my skin to stretch. I wish my wolf was like other wolves. This would have been the last of my worries. But nah… she rather chose to be different.While Helena and the lady focus on getting my herb, I'm focused on how to make the Caveman give me my child. I will do anything it takes
Alpha Arkon;“You fucked her, why?” my gaze advert to Kael. “Sorry, Arkon. I just wanted to get the last taste of her.”“That wasn’t the plan. The rule was simple. Lure her to the pack and hand her over to me.”Kael ducks his head. “I know. I messed up, for fucking not been able to control my cock,” his fingers pinches the bridge of his nose.“Fine. shit happens with cock.” My eyes run through the faces of Kael and Cormac. “Her father will arrive soon to rescue her. You know the deal. Make him spill every truth about my mate’s past. The old man dares not lie to me again or he will lose his precious daughter.”My reason. This was my reason for asking Kael to let Camila come down to my pack. I need to get a hold of her Father. I’ve seen stupid ladies. Never knew she was gonna be one of them. Her level of audacity stinks. When Kael informed me that she reached out to him after carrying out a crime against me, I was shocked. There has been plans to find Camila and make her face the con
The teeth of Beta kael frees my toes but moves to the other, biting down. Slightly. He does this why his eye stays on my face. Resting my elbows on the bed and pushing up a bit, my head slant to the side, my eyes taking a better glance of him. He motion from one toe to another. Halting, his mouth let go. The warm breath of him fans my foot, leaving a faint touch of kiss on each part of my skin as he crawls up to my thighs. Stopping between. “When was the last time a man touched you down here?” he sniffs hard on the gap between my thighs closer to my core. Why the hell does he care about what I do with my core? Have your way with me and let’s get this done with. I made to say this to him, but I don't want to spoil the fun of whatever he wants to do with me. Playing along into what he wants. “Never had any man get deep into me. It’s just your Alpha and you who have gotten a taste of me.”“I know. This is why I still choose you.” holding my legs and climbing onto the bed, he pulls me
Camila;It was a long drive from our Region to the pack of Alpha Arkon. But I'm grateful to finally be in the North. However, there were some obstacles on the way. I had to explain myself a lot of times to the Rogues guarding the roads. The security have become tighter than it use to be. Just one thing explains it - the last event that happened in my pack. Have heard words of what happened to the man I love, at the event. Words of how his life was put in danger because he tried to claim that bitch and her child. He almost lost his life if not for the intervention of his warriors. Well, this shows the reason why they are called, ‘The Rogues.’ Everyone knows how fearless they are. Another reason why I fell for their Alpha - a man like him ruling over powerful Rogues. It will be a very big privilege to be his Luna. and i'm on my way to making it come through. When I start a thing, I don't give up on it until I've achieved every bit of what I want.My car parked at the entrance of the s
Vynessa;My heart races in panic. My body trembling like a leaf in the wind. I jump out of the bed and make to run out of the house to meet up with the Caveman and question him about my child when Helena and the young lady return from the market. They bump right into me, stopping and blocking my way. The gaze of Helena moves, scanning me whole. “Where are you heading all bare and exposed?” “My child,” my stare moves above them, fighting to get a glimpse of the Caveman. But my eyes are unable to. He was in this room not quite ago. Where has he vanished to? Did he run away from me after what he did? How dare he dart away. Coward! That’s what he is.“Your child?” The young lady speaks up, fear and shock are laced in her voice. “What child, Luna?” Her melodious voice calls my attention.My attention is sent to the young lady as my trembling hand holds my stomach. “The one I had. My baby is alive. Where is he?” I make to dash out again but Helena and the young lady grip my arms, stoppin
Camila;“Mother, you have to speak to your husband. It’s been months already and I don’t have the patience to wait anymore. Something has to be done. I don’t care how he gets it done. He should step up and make it happen just the way other Fathers do for their daughters,” my fingers run through my hair in frustration. Every part of me vibrates as I sit on the couch. My leg crosses over the other.“You don’t speak about your Father in such a manner,” she says, and my eyes roll in deeper frustration. Right. Just what I expected from her. Defend him every goddamn time. He is her husband after all. Fucking her all day and night, so why? Why won’t she defend his weakness? I hate both of them at this moment.“Do you know what your Father had to face for your sake? The stupid things he went through just to get the attention of Alpha Arkon. Give him some flowers, Camila,” she lashes out.“With everything he has done, there isn't any result. Look. I'm here. In this house. Under this roof wit
Vynessa;How do I get a change of clothes when Helena and the young lady are at the marketplace? My dress is all dirt. The only person available is the caveman. Helena said he calls the shot around here? Crazy how a mute who hasn't said a word to me, is the one calling the shot. But then, he seems like one who can. What should I even do with him? Stepping out of the tiny house, I make my way to under the three where the caveman always sits. He is right there. Doing nothing but watching the fallen leaves. Strange. This being always acts weird. Never seen any creature who acts just like him.Aside from the fact his physical appearance is a replica of the Alpha of the Rogue, every other thing about the caveman is weird. What he does. Wear. Sound of his voice and what he eats. I’ve seen him feed on other animals. Creepy. Yeah, feeding on flesh is common among our kind, but my pack - The Crescent Moon, forbids it. We are allowed to only hunt other animals based on self-defense. Feeding
My shoulder jerks as a loud laughter tears off me. “Brother?… I have none. Twin?…. That’s the worst of it. So you finally meet the bastard,” my smile widens.“Bastard? What do you mean, Arkon?”“The bastard who looks just like me. The same bastard who forced himself on Vynessa years back.”“What do you mean?” Thane’s voice is laced with anger. His fist clenches by his side.“You want to hit me because you just found out the truth now? I told you I didn't lay a finger on her that night. I saw the bastard did. I chased after him. But he was too fast for me. I have no fucking idea who the imposter is. I also want to lay my hands on him, and strangle him to his knees.”“You are claiming not to know him? Then why did he dart away with Vynessa on the day of the event? Why was he around her that night seven years ago? Why does he look just like you?” Thane says through gritty teeth.“Same questions I want to ask him. You think you are more curious than I am when it comes to that bastard? You
