Nora Pov

I ran through the woods, breathing heavily. My eyes staring ahead of the huge lavender tree upfront. I didn't care if my heart was about to fall off my chest, I was determined to get there in less than five minutes.

I wanted to be strong for him.

I ran like my life depends on it. Well, my heart depends on it. I hated when he looked at me with such disappointment.

"Hey, weakling! Get the hell out of the way!" I heard a grumpy voice, running past me with speed.

"She looks so pathetic running like that!" Another sneered, veering past me.

"She must be human!" The first one spat out, following his colleague.

"Fuck you both!" I spat out angrily, inside of me.

As much as I wanted to tell them that, I don't want to look for trouble. I don't want my brother to be caught in-between his duty to the pack as the future beta and his duty as a brother to a pathetic loser like me.

If I wasn't so unlucky, I was supposed to be ranked amongst the strongest werewolf in the pack. That's because we were the beta family, the second strongest family in the pack.

But I was so weak, just like a human!

I wasn't human! I hate when they call me that. How could I be human when my parents and brother were werewolves? Maybe I was too weak and that's why my wolf refused to show itself.

I ran as the rest of the pack whoosh ahead of me. So much for the five minutes! I couldn't even get there in twenty minutes. I broke down under the huge tree, trying to get myself together.

At least, I got there in twenty minutes. That's two minutes earlier than yesterday. I was still catching my breath when my ears caught the sound of footsteps approaching and a warm scent traveling through my nose.

He was here…

Wondered why a wolfless person like me could catch up on scent? I wonder the same too. Although I tried to hide that fact so I won't be called a weirdo. Human was already a weird and heartbreaking name for me.

"What are you doing here?"

I was startled by the voice that asked me the question. It wasn't him but my brother. Could I have mistaken his scent for my brother's? I scratched my head repeatedly before looking at my brother with a pout.

" The forest isn't safe for you," my brother Justin said, giving me his hands.

I sighed, looking around the forest. I was sure he was here. I felt his presence and his scent. That particular scent I had felt three days ago. But I had to hide it, from even my brother.

"Come on, Nora. Carlos isn't here. He had left as soon as we saw you," Justin said, rolling his eyes at me.

Caught!

I grinned sheepishly as I quietly followed Justin without another word. Should I tell him about Carlos?

Carlos was the alpha's son and the heir to the throne. I had been crushing on him since I was six years old. At first, we had been friends and he had been nice to me. But, it changed two years ago when I couldn't shift to my wolf.

In Blood Moon Pack, we usually shift at age sixteen and find our mate when we clock eighteen. It is believed that without your wolf, you can't find your mate.

Not until I saw Carlos three days ago and felt drawn to him. A tiny voice in my head had let out the 'mate' word. But I refused to tell him. I wanted to have my wolf first.

"What's on your mind, Nora?" Justin cuts in again.

" A secret, Jay. I will tell you on the night of the moonlight festival," I said, grinning.

" That's tonight, Nora" he reminded me, shaking his head.

" Oops! I guess I will tell you tonight then!" I giggled as we got closer to my house.

Without waiting for my brother, I ran to the house so I could prepare for tonight's activities. I was very sure that he would recognize me tonight.

**

I can't believe I was already late for the ceremony! I blamed my parents for keeping me busy with chores. Not just that, I also wanted to look good for him.

I quickly ran to where the festival was taking place. I was sure he was there somewhere. I searched for almost an hour before I saw him at the farthest and hidden end with my brother.

I sighed in relief.

I badly wanted to talk to him. Tell him that he was my mate. I wanted him to know that I wasn't human and that I would surely get my wolf.

But…

Carlos must have sensed my emotions. I guess he knew we were mates but why was he not accepting me in the presence of everyone? Maybe I should be the one to say it?

I watched him taking a stroll toward my direction. Then he stopped abruptly as if he wanted to greet me.

"Meet me over the cliff. Don't follow behind me!" His icy voice tore my heart. Didn't he know I was his mate?

Before I could utter another word, he had already left me alone. I stood there for another two minutes to recollect my emotions before dashing toward the forest, in another direction.

The cliff was a one minute run for a werewolf but for me, it took me more than five minutes to get there. I could see he was angry, with his emerald eyes boring through mine.

Something wasn't right about his look.

He looked at me as if I was a disgusting creature after throwing me insulting words. That wasn't supposed to be how he would look at his mate. Didn't he know I was his mate?

"I know what you want to say, Nora. I felt it too. Oh… Selene! What was the moon goddess thinking?" His voice cut through my thoughts as he moved a little closer to me.

His luscious lips, perfectly chiseled jawline and the body built of a model made my heart start beating rapidly. I can't believe he was mine! His voice got me wobbling, not until I heard his next words.

"You think I would accept you?"

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    I Was Not Afraid

    Nora’s POVI stood at the center of the council chamber, heart pounding but voice steady. The air was thick with tension, and every pair of eyes rested on me. Erebus sat across from me, flanked by his usual followers, stoic, silent, but brimming with defiance. Behind me stood Carlos, August, and the Eagle pack warriors who had pledged their loyalty. The Lycan guard formed a strong line, shoulders squared.I took a deep breath and raised my voice.“You’ve been working against me,” I said, locking my gaze on Erebus. “Sabotaging the orb’s balance. Undermining the keepers. Aligning with Griffin. I won’t stay silent anymore.”A murmur ran through the chamber.Erebus’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You speak boldly, Nora. But accusation without proof is nothing but noise.”“I have proof,” I replied. I pulled out the worn scroll I had found, the one that spoke of the breath between realms. “You and your followers have been plotting to let Griffin gain access to the orb’s core. This scrol,

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Ancient Keepers Circle

    Nora’s POVThe cold air carried a tension that clung to every breath as I entered the ancient hall. It wasn’t just a place for discussion anymore. It had become a battleground of ideologies. The council chamber, nestled at the heart of the Elder Grove, once felt like a sanctuary of wisdom. Today, it felt like a trap.The long, curved table sat in the center, surrounded by seats carved for each Ancient keeper. As I took my place, I felt dozens of eyes on me — some heavy with support, others laced with suspicion. Erebus sat with his usual calm, arms folded, the corner of his mouth twitching with a smugness I had come to recognize. His allies flanked him like silent shadows.Elder Silvarum cleared his throat, rising to open the meeting. “This gathering,” he said, voice steady, “is in response to growing unrest, and the concern raised by Luna Nora on the presence of traitors among us.”I stood when the attention shifted to me. My heart was steady, but every word I planned to say burned ag

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    I Will Not Fail

    Nora’s POV I could barely sit up on the fourth morning.My body burned from within, and my throat felt like it had swallowed fire. Elder Silvarum stood by the window, pouring a thick blue liquid into a clay bowl. The scent of crushed leaves and burnt ash filled the room. I had been drinking his brews for three days, and each sip had dragged me deeper into pain.“Almost done,” he murmured, turning toward me. “Today, the blood either bends… or breaks.”I nodded, even though my vision blurred. My body trembled. Every part of me felt like it had been beaten from the inside, like my bones were trying to shift into something new.Carlos had tried to stay, but I’d asked him to leave. I didn’t want him to see me like that—sweaty, gasping, screaming. This wasn’t a battle of swords or claws. It was a battle inside my blood.The Blue Blood.A dormant power that lived in me for years, quiet but present. The bloodline of an ancient warrior clan—fierce, magical, feared.And now… awakened.I cried

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    We Would Turn Her Gift Against Her

    Third povDeep beneath the Keeper’s sacred chambers, Erebus gathered his most trusted followers in the gloom of an abandoned sanctuary. The once-hallowed space, now forgotten and thick with damp air, flickered with unstable candlelight. A circle of ashes had been drawn across the floor, its center marked by a jagged shard—a sliver once part of the orb itself, stolen during the first wave of betrayal.“This is the moment,” Erebus said, his voice low and sharp. “We do not strike her blade to blade—we turn her own gift against her.”One of the traitors, a man named Malric, knelt before the shard and began chanting. The air twisted. A strange vibration surged across the room, as though something ancient had awakened. A black mist coiled above the shard, writhing like it breathed.“The spell must unravel her hold,” Erebus added, stepping forward. “It will not destroy her. At least, not yet. But it will shake her spirit. Once she begins to doubt the orb, she weakens. And when she weakens…”

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Orb Should Be Mine

    Third povGriffin sat alone in the quiet chamber he had claimed as his own, staring at the dim glow pulsing from the crystal he kept hidden beneath the floorboard. The crystal, stolen from one of Sorcerer Elena’s secret vaults before her death, still retained traces of her dark magic. It hummed faintly now, reacting to Griffin’s growing hunger for more.The orb haunted his thoughts... its glow, its pull, its raw power. It called to him in ways no other source of magic ever had. He remembered watching Nora command it during battle, the way her hands trembled just slightly when it flared bright. She was still learning to control it.And she wasn’t moving fast enough.“That orb should be mine,” he muttered to himself, tightening his fists.He had once admired Nora, once loved her, in some foolish, idealistic way. But that was long buried. The Griffin who sat here now was not the same man. The tinted blood in his veins had reshaped him. Sorcerer Elena’s magic had awakened something in him

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Investigation

    Nora’s POVThe early morning air felt heavy as I stepped into the keepers’ quarters. Most of them were already awake, going about their routines with forced normalcy—too forced, like a stage performance. That alone was enough to raise suspicion.I didn’t speak much as I passed them, just watched, and observed.It had become my daily ritual now to quietly checking their behavior, listening more than talking. I watched how they interacted with each other, who avoided my gaze, who suddenly turned quiet when I entered the room.The orb’s energy had been restless lately. Some nights I could barely sleep, and when I did, I woke up with my heart racing. I couldn’t help the growing feeling that something was slipping through my fingers.August had warned me: “They’ve learned to wear loyalty like a second skin. Don’t expect them to act like villains.”He was right. The traitors weren’t making mistakes. Not yet. But I could feel the tension, growing like a splinter buried deep.I started with t
