A beautiful full moon night. Xevia and the old alpha stood at the edge of the ravine looking up at the sky. "Soon it will be time..." said the old man.At exactly midnight, Xevia would transform into a wolf. It had been a week now that she'd learned to control her transformations. "Yes." She agreed. The old man was one of the few who knew that she'd become this way before... when her father had left. She had been raised by a kind beta woman, but the old man had insisted on taking care of her. He didn't know the truth about her origins though. He couldn't understand what the pack did. And he never would, until he saw it with his own eyes. The old man looked at her carefully as if trying to judge whether or not he could trust her. His golden eyes were warm, even through the dark. He was an older male werewolf of average height with white hair and wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. He was wearing some sort of military uniform. He smiled softly, "You're ready then, are you?" he aske
Xevia ran through the dark forest, trying to avoid the pursuing old wolf behind her. Her bare feet made no sound on the damp mossy ground, but she knew that the big wolf was gaining steadily on her with every step she took. She’d been running since the sun went down; all of yesterday.The woods around them were thick and dense, a place that could hide anything. Even though it was dark now, she could still see the huge tree trunks in every direction, some almost twice as tall as a human being. Their branches spread out overhead, blocking off everything else and offering shelter from the cold autumn night wind. They were also too far away for her to make any noise, but still close enough that if Xevia stopped. After feeling a little safe, Xevia transformed herself into a wolf so that she could defeat the old alpha behind her. In her conscious state, she could feel how her body turned into a wolf with a tail of fire. With the animalistic strength born of pure instinct, she slashed at the
The image of the man who closely resembled the photo of Xevia's late father disappeared after saying those words. It was a message about Xevia having to take care of herself because the mission she was on was not an easy one. The mission required her to kill someone. A good person who would be able to do something for their country even if it wasn't in the way they had imagined it to be at that time. She didn’t think anyone had expected her to succeed so soon. But, as a member of the Special Task Force and the commander of the second team, she was supposed to have more resources than anyone else present. Her abilities were already remarkable enough to make people look up to her, and when she took on this mission without being fully briefed… it made them realize how much of a problem she really was. She hadn't wanted to come back. Not until she had seen what the world had become. But now, she was here, in the middle of the enemy. And she was going to go through with this. She coul
Xevia's POVThis was the last thing I could do to prove what I declared was true, that the baby's father was Alarick Dereck Ivyari, the prince alpha of the Redmoon Guardians pack. Yeah, I had to prove it because no one believed me; they accused me of telling an untruth and threatened to banish me from the pack."You all know. My son couldn't possibly have gone that low. He couldn't be in a relationship with such a slave!" "Almaera, help me!" I hissed and pleaded with her. But Almaera did not respond. She continued to touch and swirl around me in her wolf form. Almaera does have extraordinary abilities; she can find out who the father of this baby is just by touching and smelling the scent of the fetus that I am carrying. Almaera can smell the blood of Ivyari descendants, even the unborn."The unborn baby is not a descendant of the Ivyari family nor Alarick's baby!" Almaera exclaimed. "This omega girl is lying." Almaera's shrill voice made my heart feel like it was going to burst. W
Xevia's POV I looked back at my omega-best friends, Shea, Ivanna, and Luvia, who knew the truth. But none of them had any intention of defending me. None of them dared to look me in the eye, all bowed down and hiding behind the shadows of those who hated me. They have proven to be the worst people. They knew everything about Alarick and me, which was why I felt so miserable most of the time since Alarick betrayed me. My mind began to spin, and all I had to endure for the past few days were memories of being taken advantage of. I headed back to where Alarick was, but I no longer found him there. The man was gone. He had disappeared. "Throw her out! Get her out of here! That Omega slut doesn't belong in a dignified pack like ours. She belongs with a bunch of rogues!" "Banish her!" "Get rid of her!" "I'll kill her by myself!" That voice..., the familiar voice, it was the only person who could put fear deep inside my soul. The man had appeared suddenly in front of me as if appeari
Xevia's POV I don't know how long I was asleep or somewhat unconscious. The last thing I remember is that I was in a dark forest and met a giant wolf that bit my arm. Then I passed out. It felt strange. My memories from that time are a little hazy, but there's no doubt something happened after that."Hey," a voice called out. I opened my eyes again just as the light from the door hit my eyes. A girl stood at the door. She smiled at me with her friendly brown eyes. "Are you alright?" She asked, worry seen obviously in her expression."Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I just-""You were attacked." She cut in. "There was a big beast, and it tore your clothes off. Did any part of your body get hurt?" She continued as I shook my head silently."Can you tell me what happened?" I looked away."I can't really remember. Oh yeah, where am I now? And who brought me to this place?" I asked as I realized that I was now in a spacious room with two wooden beds painted brown. I also looked at the wooden f
Xevia's POV The young man and I returned to the room I had been staying in. Our steps halted at the end of the stairs."Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself to you. I am Archer." He smiled warmly."Xevia." I returned his handshake."Oh yeah, can I ask you something?" I asked Archer in a hesitant tone."Go ahead.""What's the name of your pack? Sorry, I'm just an omega. I cannot know what kind of wolves you are," I explained.Archer smiled slightly. He touched both my shoulders. His face lowered to my level."We are the rogues. We have no pack, and they call us the villains."As soon as those words entered my ears, I felt the temperature of the air around us drop drastically, and Archer stepped back slightly. He chuckled awkwardly and scratched his neck. "Sorry if it's frightened you."The awkwardness slowly disappeared as if it had never existed between us. "No," I smiled. I didn't want him to see my suspicion."Take it easy," Archer interjected."We won't bite you if that's what
Xevia's POV Xander, they-the Rogues member–refers to him as Young Master. He seems highly respected, but I didn't know his position in this pack. All I knew was that the white-haired man was the leader.After the mating ceremony, Xander asked me to pack up. I didn't know where he was going to take me. He was cold and seemed very stiff. It made me unwilling to talk to him. Even if I knew where he was taking me, it wouldn't change anything. I still had to be his mate, even though I disagreed with this mating.And now I was in a black luxury car with two motorcades—one car behind us and the other two in front of us. Our motorcade passes through a dark and misty pine forest. It's been more than an hour since we drove through this seemingly endless forest.And for almost an hour, none of us opened our mouths. We were silent, not communicating with each other. I leaned my head on the car seat while pretending to sleep. Meanwhile, when I peeked at Xander, I saw him silently staring ahead wh
