I closed the window with a quick flick of my wrist and leapt into bed, pulling my knees to my chest as my heart raced. The rush of adrenaline still pulsed through my veins, a potent reminder of the seismic shift that had occurred within me. It was a secret I couldn't share, not yet. This was something I needed to understand on my own first and let me tell you, it was a lot to process.
I had drifted off as an omega, but now, with the dawn of a new day on my birthday, I awoke with the essence of a Wolf coursing through my being. It was a transformation that both exhilarated and terrified me, a duality I grappled with as I contemplated the implications of this newfound power. And to top it all off, fate had decided to intertwine my destiny with Daniella, the one person in my life who harboured hatred towards me. As I lay there, the weight of my reality settling in, I started to drift off again, and the next thing I knew, there was a loud thud at the door. “Omega, you bitch. Wake up. Why are you not up and serving breakfast? Did you forget it’s my birthday?” I sat up abruptly, my heart pounding as I tried to make sense of the situation. The voice was unmistakably Daniella's, but I couldn't let her see my fear or confusion. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. "I'm up, Daniella," I called out, trying to sound more composed than I felt. "Give me a moment to get the breakfast ready." As I got out of bed, the Wolf within me stirred, its energy coursing through my veins. I could feel its strength and power, knowing I had to harness it carefully. This newfound power could change everything, but first, I needed to survive this encounter with Daniella. “Well, you better hurry up before the Alpha and Luna find out you're not doing your duties.” she kicked the door, and I heard her leave. Throwing on some clothes, I quickly hurried out of my room and to the kitchen. I could not risk the Alpha and Luna finding out anything of this, not yet. I quickly prepared breakfast, trying to keep my movements steady and focused. I decided on pancakes and syrup as that is a massive favourite in this packed house. As I served the meal, I couldn't help but notice the tension between us. I knew she disliked me, but I couldn't understand why. I have always tried to be friendly and helpful. "Happy birthday," I said, trying to keep my voice even. "I hope you enjoy your breakfast." Daniella eyed me suspiciously before taking a bite of her food. I could see the wheels turning in her mind, trying to figure out what had changed in me. I had to be careful not to give anything away, not until I understood this new power within me. “She will not break you. I am here with you now. Every step of the way.” I heard Jasmine echo in the back of my mind. I could not help but smile at that. It felt good to know that, finally, I had my wolf. Despite Daniella's continued icy demeanour, I remained calm and composed, focusing on the task. I couldn't let her hostility get to me; I needed to understand this new power within me and harness it to protect myself. After breakfast, as I cleaned up the dishes, Daniella approached me cautiously. "What's going on with you?" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.” something seems odd about you, and I want to know what it is.” I met her gaze head-on, the Wolf within me standing strong. "Nothing has changed, Daniella," I replied calmly. "I'm still the same person I've always been." She seemed taken aback by my response as if expecting me to cower before her. But I stood my ground, the new strength of the Wolf empowering me. “Yeah, the same skank we all hate and wish you had never been born.” Janet piped up, looking me up and down with disgust. They both giggled, and I avoided looking up at them. “I’m sorry you don’t like me, but I have worked hard to ensure Daniella has the best party,” I said. “Hmph, remember not to show your face at my party tonight. The alpha sons are returning tonight, and I will be announced as their mate and future Luna. Nobody wants you scaring them off with your disgusting omega vibes.” I couldn't help but bristle at Daniella's words, the Wolf within me rising to defend my honour. However, showing my true feelings would only escalate the situation. Instead, I chose to remain calm and collected. "I understand, Daniella," I said, keeping my voice even. "I wouldn't want to disrupt your special night. I'll make sure to stay away from the party." As they left the room, I allowed myself to process her words. The thought of being labelled as an 'omega' and 'disgusting' stung, but I knew that I had to focus on understanding and controlling my newfound power. I quickly decided to go for a shower and freshen up. Today, I would leave this hell hole once and for all, and I could not wait. As I stepped into the soothing stream of water in the shower, letting the warm droplets cascade over me, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. The tension of the morning and the confrontation with Daniella slowly melted away, replaced by a renewed determination to embrace my Wolf essence and forge my path. I took my time in the shower, allowing myself to reflect on everything that had transpired. The power of the Wolf within me was a force to be reckoned with, and I needed to learn how to harness it for my benefit. I couldn't let the prejudices and hatred of others hold me back anymore. As I stepped out of the shower and dried off, I caught sight of my reflection and gasped, almost dropping my towel. My once brown eyes now were glowing an amber colour. What was I? My wolf was white, yet I was supposed to be an omega? Could it be I was more than an omega? My parents had abandoned me, so I had no clue what heritage I had come from. I couldn’t let anyone see me like that. “Jasmine, why are my eyes this colour? What is happening to me?”“Jasmine, tell me. What are we?” I repeated myself and waited for my Wolf to respond. “Eliza. We are more than this omega rank. We are strong and fierce, and we were born to be something special.” I pinched myself, but I wasn't dreaming, although it felt as if I was stuck in a crazy dream. So tonight, I've made my decision. I'm leaving the pack and starting a new life on my own. I don't know where I'll go or what I'll do, but I'm willing to take the risk. Anything is better than staying in this place where I'm constantly belittled and beaten down. I needed to process everything that had happened. From finding my Wolf to knowing today was my birthday. I had no friends or real family, so what was the big deal with birthdays? Daniella could clean up after her party; it was supposed to be my birthday, too. But I was done being her servant. She would be shocked when she realised I was no longer there at the click of her fingers. “Jasmine. I'm almost ready.” I whispered, kn
“Jasmine, listen to me, we have to leave. We can’t stay here.” I insisted, realising that my cover was about to be blown as my wolf slowly paced towards Rylan. I could not believe this was happening to me. Why did the moon goddess insist on throwing more obstacles my way? All I wanted was to get away from Creek and everyone in it. “You are my mate. What is your name?” Rylan asked softly. He was in his human form, but we could sense his wolf; the connection was palpable. I knew Jasmine could feel the pull of the mate bond, a force that we both couldn't ignore but couldn't fully understand. “I feel like I know you,” Rylan whispered. Daniella pouted crossly at the scenario unfolding in front of her eyes. "What is going on here? Rylan, today is my birthday, and you promised to meet me here, yet you were late. I almost got attacked by a filthy rogue and... “She started to get hysterical, but Rylan wasn't noticing her, which irritated her further. Even though I didn't like
Rylan’s POV A white wolf. She was beautiful, and I felt like I knew her from somewhere but could not put my finger on it. Who was she? The moon goddess had paired us together for a reason. I was blown away by surprise. A white wolf was rare, and she must have held some power wherever she came from. Daniella whining in my ear was irritating the life out of me. I couldn't believe my brothers convinced me to take her as our mate. Rio was more into her than any of us, so ever since we were small, our parents had believed that the moon goddess would pair us with Daniella due to her being the daughter of the better. It was assumed she would be our Luna. We needed a strong and capable female to work alongside us to lead our pack successfully. My parents had done a grand job of running Creek for all of these years, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps Although Daniella was a beautiful, stunning she-Wolf, I could never pretend she was the one for me.
Eliza’s pov “Mate will be looking for us,” Jasmine told me, but I wasn't going to go back there. Not now. They would kill me if they ever found out that it was me who had harmed Daniella. I never knew that I could be capable of anything like that. Jasmine lay down at the edge of a beautiful stream and took a long-needed drink from it. All the running had exhausted poor Jasmine. There was a small entrance at the edge of the stream that would shelter us for the night. I decided it best to shift back to human to allow my Wolf to rest up for a few hours. I could swim in the stream, and luckily, it was the warmer weather, so that I wouldn't freeze. I waded into the stream, the cool water soothing my weary body. “Hey, what are you doing trespassing on our sacred land?” an angry voice boomed from behind us, causing me to be startled. I turned around slowly, my heart racing with fear and guilt. Standing before us was a large, imposing figure - a member of another pack,
Rylan’s POV “You must have fallen off the idiot tree. I can't believe this rubbish.” Rio shook his head at me as we returned to Creek, still holding Daniella in his arms. She clung to him tightly, burying her face into his neck. His affection for her baffled me, and I couldn't help but think she was pathetic for relying so heavily on him. “It's true. Daniella knows it, too.” I growled, but my brother did not believe me. “Rylan, let's go back and say Daniella is our chosen mate. We know she will be a great Luna. Her beta blood with our alpha blood together will create some strong and wonderful heirs for our pack.” Rio started to say, and I thought he was crazy to think up such nonsense. As I prepared to respond to Rio with a disapproving gaze, our mother's shriek interrupted us. Luna Lara, our magnificent pack luna, appeared at the entrance of the outhouse, her presence commanding. Her eyes scanned each of us, landing on me with a disapproving look that made it clear she w
Rylan’s POV The following day, as the first light of dawn cast a golden glow over Creek, I awoke determined to prove the existence of the White Wolf, my destined mate. My mind raced with thoughts of the mysterious creature and the significance of our connection. My brothers would be sorry for not believing me. Daniella was not worthy to be Luna. She was weak, crying and wrapping herself around Rio like a snake. I would never accept her as anything more than the daughter of my father's beta. Once showered and dressed, I went to the pack's central meeting hall, where the pack's leaders gathered to discuss important matters and make decisions that would shape our future. As I entered the hall, I could feel the weight of their scepticism and judgment hanging in the air, but I stood tall, ready to defend my beliefs.Nobody would succeed in changing my mind. I was sure of that. My father was already there, and he cleared his throat and gazed across at the crowd of members waiting for his
Eliza’s POV "Thank you, Gerald," I replied, trying to keep any nervousness out of my voice. "I am grateful for your hospitality and protection. I have no intention of causing any trouble for your pack." Gerald's expression softened at my words, and he nodded in understanding. "You need not worry, dear Queen. We welcome all wolves needing sanctuary here, regardless of their past affiliations. You are safe here and protected.” With relief, I followed Gerald into the packhouse, Jasmine close behind. The interior was just as magnificent as the exterior, with intricate silver designs adorning the walls and furniture. The air was filled with pine and lavender, creating a calming atmosphere. Gerald led us to a comfortable room with a large, plush bed and a roaring fire. He gestured for us to make ourselves at home and promised to bring us some warm drinks and food soon. As I settled onto the bed, exhaustion washing over me, I couldn't help but wonder what was happening b
Daniella’s POV I couldn’t believe Rylan would even think about denying me, so what if I wasn’t their fated mate? I deserved to be the Luna of Creek. I was the daughter of the Beta. Not only did I have strength, I was a damn good fighter, and everyone here at this pack adored me. Well, all except stupid Eliza. Nobody liked her, but Luna Lara and Alpha Morgan were panicking that they couldn’t find the dumb hoe. She wasn’t important anyway. Yesterday was my birthday, and instead of being swept off my feet by my new mates, I was being attacked by some filthy white wolf that Rylan was now obsessed over. I had to find out who she was and get rid of her before she took my mates and my place as Luna away from me. I was not going to let anyone get in the way of me being the Luna of Creek. I had dreamt of being Luna since I was tiny; nothing meant more than having that title. As I left the woods and headed back home, I decided I would find Rio and get him to have a word
