Mag-log inArion POV:I was in my office with Arrow. We had been sitting here for what felt like forever. Rina had told us through the mindlink that she was going for a walk. I had asked her to take extra warriors with her, but she had refused, reminding me she had Dex and Nikko. Although I wanted to order more guards, I didn't want her to think I didn't trust her decisions. I knew she was getting tired of always having people following her around.The advisor's voice droned on and on, and I became more agitated by the second. I looked over at Arrow; he was restlessly tapping his pen on the table. He looked as though he might jump out of his skin at any moment. "The finances of the pack will remain the same for now. The enterprises are doing well; we have had significant increases this quarter," Max explained. Max was an older wolf; he had been the chief financial advisor to my father for a very long time. he was a nice enough guy, but his monotone voice only seemed to agitate me further. I c
I kept trying to unlock the door until my fingers bled. I slid down the wall, tears falling down my cheeks. I could hear Dex's unsteady breaths becoming more shallow and erratic by the second. I heard footsteps coming to the door, so I quickly scurried across the room. I carefully connected the broken links and prayed to the Moon Goddess that they wouldn't notice I was free. I heard the key in the lock, the loud click telling me it was unlocked. "Rina! Rina, my dear," his gruff voice echoed against the concrete walls. "I hope you are ready for me; it will be just like last time," he cooed. I looked up, my eyes met his, "You?" I shrieked! "Why? Why would you do this to your friends?" I asked as his smirk spread across his face."They are my friends!" he snapped back, "but why should I keep waiting, keep failing in their shadows? No, it's my turn. I will have their precious mate again." He lunged forward, grabbing me by the throat. I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I clawed a
"NO!" I screamed. The silver burned as I pulled against my chains. Laughter erupted from the couple standing in front of me. "As if you have a choice!" The woman screeched through her laughter. "Your precious twins will be born tomorrow, they will be mine! Don't worry, Luna, I won't let them suffer for too long." Her wicked smile churned my stomach. How could someone so good hide so much evil? "Why?" I squeaked out.An evil smile spread across her lips. "Do you really not understand?" she asked, her eyes flashing with malice. "The blood of the true Luna's child will give me the power to use the medallion. Once I drink their blood, it will merge with mine, giving me the power I need to become the most powerful of all wolves. I will destroy all who have doubted me. My army will stretch across the lands, destroying all who stand against me." "You mean we will rule? Right?" The man standing next to her suddenly realized she did not mention him in her plans."What? Yes, of course I mean
The next day, I found myself in the Luna’s office. It was strange to think of this as my office now. Dex stood at the door, and Nikko sat across from me. I had been going over paperwork for a few hours. I decided to head into the village and grab a bite at my favorite place. I stretched before standing up. “I’m going down to the diner,” I announced. My guards agreed. We made our way through the pack house and out the door.It was a strange feeling to have everyone greet me as Luna Rina when we passed by. I smiled and greeted them. The babies had become very active inside me lately. It felt like they were excited about my decision as well. After a short walk, I stepped into the familiar place. It wasn’t hectic today, and it was nice. I slid into a booth, and the waitress came over and asked if I wanted my usual. I said yes and couldn’t wait for my shake and fries. A few minutes later, I was putting salt and ketchup on the big pile of fries in front of me. I put one in my mouth and near
The words in front of me told of the Guardians; they were wolves who had been selected before birth by the Moon Goddess to protect a True Luna. They were the most elite of all warriors and loyal only to the True Luna and those she deemed worthy.“He’s telling the truth,” I whispered.All eyes turned to look at me.“How can you be sure?” Arion and Arrow asked together.“It says so right here,” I explained, holding up the book.“Babe, they are just blank pages,” Arion said.“What? I can see all the words,” I explained.A chuckle interrupted us. “They can’t see the words, Luna; only you can,” Nikko explained.“Why does this have to be so difficult?” I asked, sighing heavily. “If I could show them, they could understand how I know.”“You can show them,” he explained. “Each of you touch your mark on her neck,” Nikko said, standing up. The twins did as he said. “Now, Luna, you look at the words,” he told me. I started looking at the page and reading a little.“Whoa,” Arrow exclaimed. “That
The crowd surrounding us was silent. I felt warm arms wrap around me. I knew it was my mates. I couldn’t help but stare at the medallion in my hands.“Baby, are you ok?” two worried voices asked.“What? Oh, yes, I’m ok.” I answered. I looked up into the faces of my mates.The crowd was watching us, their faces showed the confusion I was feeling.“Hail, Luna Rina,” a voice I did not recognize yelled from behind everyone.I looked to see who it belonged to. Dex was in front of me, his body poised to attack. My mates were the same. The pack turned to see the person who had spoken. They looked ready to strike, if necessary.“I mean no harm to any of you,” the voice said. I tried to see the silhouette's face. My name is Nikko Fallen. Perhaps you have heard of me?” he asked, stepping into the light. The crowd gasped. “I have been sent here on behalf of the guardians.” He continued walking forward before stopping in the middle of the aisle. “I am here for the true Luna.”My mates let out a
