Omniscient POVBack in the room, Lunaria and Marlik were still jubilating when Serenya threw a question at them."How do you both plan on getting Alpha Damain's blessing? Or don't you have the thought of doing so? And by the way Marlik, how did you get here? How did you know where to find us?" Serenya asked, looking intently at Marlik, whom she felt was up to something. Her instinct was telling her something was off about him and that instinct was never wrong.Marlik's smile immediately faded away, as if that question of hers had hit him in the wrong spot."As for how I got here mum, I had to go around the pack, asking people where they felt you could be and a few of them mentioned this place, since this is your tribe. So, I decided to give it a trial hoping I will see you all here and I'm glad I did," Marlik explained, trying to stay calm and confident, but his trembling voice was slowly betraying him."And for Alpha Damian's blessing, we won't be needing it. Yours alone is enough fo
Omniscient POVAs soon as they all stepped into the house, they had their seats.Lunaria and Marlik sat beside each other; their hands intertwined like conjoined twins. Drevyn sat opposite them, his jaw clenched and eyes distant.Serenya sat at the head of the table, her eyes scanning the room, ensuring there was no one apart from them in the room.She cleared her throat."So, Marlik, you said you have something to talk about. I'm all ears," she gave Marlik the go ahead to speak.Marlik nodded, letting go of Lunaria's hand which was wrapped in his."Thank you, Mum but before I proceed, I will love to ask Lunaria a question. Her answer will determine whether I push forward with my request or not."He turned to Lunaria, locking his eyes with hers."Lunaria, have you been mated to anyone?" he asked, his question hanging in the air as he awaited her response.The question took Lunaria aback- maybe because she hadn't expected him to ask her such a question. But she overcame the shock quick
Omniscient POV“Marlik?” Drevyn echoed for clarity sake and Lunaria nodded her head in confirmation. “Lunaria, what are you talking about? What do you mean by Marlik is the man your heart belongs to? I don't understand, so please make me do,” Serenya urged, totally perplexed and taken aback. Gently, Lunaria got up from Serenya's lap and stood on her feet. She faced her mother, making eye contact with her in order to ensure that the message she was about passing was well received by her. “Mum, I love Marlik. Ever since I got separated from him 10 years ago, I haven't been myself. Although I have been walking around with a happy face, I have not been truly myself. I miss him- every part of me do,” Lunaria explained unbothered, as if she having feelings for Marlik was a normal thing. “Lunaria, do you know what you're saying at all? You are in love with your brother?” Serenya asked in shock, also getting up to her feet. Lunaria fell silent and then spoke. “Mum, I know he isn't my br
Omniscient POVThe days that followed after Lunaria, Drevyn and Serenya left the Ashfang pack weren't the same for everyone.Damian couldn't get over the shock of him losing his wife and son, Marlik kept on crying to see his siblings- most especially Lunaria and even fell sick for days. Serenya couldn't help but think about her husband, Drevyn too missed his brother and so did Lunaria.The only person that found joy in the separation was Zarielle. She was glad she could finally have Damian all to herself and no one was in the way of her son becoming the Alpha of the Ashfang Clan.Serenya and her kids went back to her clan- The Clan of the Whispering Flame. Her people welcomed them with open arms and there, they started their lives afresh.Years passed and in the twinkle of an eye, Lunaria and Marlik turned 18. Marlik was living well too, but he wasn't as happy as he used to be when his siblings were around.He missed them almost every day and would always stand by the pack's gate, hop
Omniscient POVLunaria was unconscious for days, but a lot happened within those hours."How did you get her?" Alpha Damian who was seated on his armchair, in his chamber room had asked- his voice firm and ruthless.The question was directed to Serenya, who was kneeling before him.Serenya cleared her throat before speaking."Like I had told you My Alpha, she was found outside the gate," she lied, knowing fully well that speaking the truth would only put Drevyn."Shut up, Serenya!!" Damian roared, rising to his feet in fury."Don't make me angry. I will ask one more time. How did you get her, Serenya?" he warned, pointing his finger at her.Still maintaining her calm composure and hiding her fear perfectly well, she responded: "Like I said earlier, My Alpha, she was found outside the gate."Damian's eyes narrowed down in suspicion- his gaze dark and deadly. He knew his wife so well. They had been together for the past 25 years and she thought he wouldn't know if she was lying?He grab

Invitations were sent out to influential figures across the region- Alphas from distant clans, shamans, witches and dignitaries that were looking for Damian's favor.Due to the party, Alpha Damian ordered that the spell used to protect the pack's border be ward off, just so his guests could come in freely.The day came and the celebration commenced. People danced, ate and drank to their full satisfaction. But the joy Damian and his people felt that day was cut short. Damian had let his guard down because of the party, allowing his enemies to penetrate into his village and launch an attack on him.The Ashfang Pack was at loggerheads with the Hellshade Clan. The latter had been looking for a way to penetrate into the former's village and when they heard about Damian's children's birthday party, they found that as the perfect opportunity to launch their attack.The Hellshade Clan mingled with the guests, and they were able to enter
