THE STARWEAVER PACK. I stared at the six feet deep grave I had dug. I had spent hours digging it, but I didn't care. I was weak, but the thought of whom I was about to bury kept me strong. This was arguably the best I've felt ever since I was born. A smirk escaped my lips as I shifted my gaze to the dead body, lying still. I closed my eyes and let myself relish the images of how he died. The way several claws dug into his body until he was lifeless. The struggle and fight he put up to it was bliss to my battered soul. "Are you done digging, omega?" A voice asked, jerking me off my thoughts. The shovel I had used almost fell off my hands. Thankfully, it didn't, as that would have attracted more punishments for me. "Yes, Luna." I bowed immediately. Luna Cara was one of the people that made my life horrible. Being born by a traitor to the pack and also being birthed as a twain under the cursed moon was enough to have me killed. My mother, an omega, was killed. My twin sister was said to have died with her. Several times, I also wish I suffered the same fate. Luna Cara got closer to me. She patted me on the back. That was a sign that I had done well, but I felt rather nervous and fearful. "How about we throw you down there with Tristan?" She asked, sounding very amused. Fear gripped my whole being. I started shivering. Luna Cara was taking walks around me, enjoying every bit of my misery. "It would not be so evil to let you die with the traitor, Tristan." "Forgive me, Luna." I begged, falling on my knees. Tristan had sold valuable pack information to a rival pack. Harrison, the alpha of the pack, found out and had Tristan beaten to death by the pack. I took no part in it, but I enjoyed every part of it, because Tristan made my life worse than a living hell. "There's nothing to forgive." Luna Cara said, bending over to meet me halfway. She released a very wicked laugh and even clapped her hands. "You should really stop feeding off her fear." Alpha Harrison's thick voice shook me a little bit. He was always in support of his mate and if she truly wants me buried alive, it'd happen. "See now terrified she is." She said, standing up to hug the alpha. The rest of the pack were behind him. "Blame me not for enjoying it." They locked lips and made disgustingly loud sounds. "Well, the daughter of a traitor should also suffer the same fate as her mother." Alpha Harrison said. I cowered in fear, shivering intensely. They always make threats but I'd never get used to them. "Please, alpha." I begged. "Just so you know," Luna Cara started, resting her leg on my knees, "you are not a member of this pack. You're a fucking slave." "Yes, Luna." I fought the tears trying hard to escape my eyes. Luna Cara laughed in an evil manner. She was having a lot of fun. "Okay bae, that's enough." Alpha Harrison said, pulling his mate to his side. She kept giggling. "I'm not sure if I enjoyed killing Tristan." Luna Cara giggled, "I was thinking I could make peace with the tempest in me by killing this one." I had nothing to do with Tristan's murder. I only watched and imagined myself being the one in charge. It was exhilarating and scary at the same time. "We will get rid of her, but not yet." Alpha Harrison muttered. "I have other plans for her." Alpha Harrison pulled me to my feet by my hair. My head ached for a few seconds and my scalp burnt, but it was nothing I wasn't used to already. "Well then, let's get to the burial nonsense." Luna Cara spat, sounding disgusted. "Traitors don't deserve burials, or what do you think, Nyx?" "They don't, Luna." I responded. A drop of tears escaped my eyes. I could not wait for all these to be over with. It was getting unbearable already. "Good." She giggled again. We went on with the funeral. Anytime a member of the pack is killed by someone in the pack, there are ritual processions that must be observed to avert evil. As the funeral went on, more tears escaped my eyes but I hid them well. Anyone seeing me cry would mean more punishments for me. I could not get punished any longer. I had tried to kill myself over the years, but nothing ever worked. Neither poison nor knives. I always came out alive. I wish I had just died alongside my twain. I was far useless than any slave ever in every pack I had come across. I could not shift, neither could my healing abilities kick in. The only good thing I had , that had proven otherwise bad over time, was my weird inability to die. I might have already taken too much poison, that I had already become immune. The funeral was over in a jiffy and the rituals were done. The pack went back inside and I followed behind, hoping that no one would decide to torture me again. "Nyx!" Luna Cara called in a very prolonged manner. "She would be the death of me." I muttered to myself before rushing to her presence. "Luna?" I responded, bowing my head. "Get me a glass of water." She ordered. I ran into the kitchen and got her what she desired. I felt dizzy from the living room all the way into the kitchen. I could feel life and consciousness, slipping out of me. I just have to give her this cup and get far away from her before whatever wants to happen would happen. As I got closer to her, I could hear her shouting, but her words were unclear. I could see her lips moving and her veins straining, but I surprisingly couldn't heat anything. I had almost gotten to her when my consciousness gave up on me. I fell to the ground, with her glass of water still in my hands. The glass broke as I fell and the water spilled out. Rather than having people surround me, I felt a kick to my stomach. Even in my unconscious state, I knew I was done for.Nyx's POV We headed straight back to the Windwalker pack house, our hearts lighter than they had been in a long time. We won. The battle had been brutal, and at times, it felt like we wouldn’t make it, but in the end, we stood victorious. The weight that had been pressing down on us since this all began finally felt a little lighter. Kieran, though badly hurt from his fight against Bridge, chose to let his wounds heal at a slower rate. It was surprising at first, considering how quickly we usually recovered, but I understood why he did it. He wanted to feel every ache, every bruise, it was his way of reminding himself of the fight, of everything we had just survived. And apparently, we could all do the same. I first thought it was a problem until he showed me how. Despite the injuries, the mood among us was different. Lighter. There was joy in the air, a relief that we had finally overcome one of the biggest challenges thrown our way. The battle had taken so much from us, but it h
Kieran's POV The fight was definitely going to be tough, but I was going to approach it with tougher measures. All of a sudden, Bridge kicked the table up, and then sent it at me. I hit it with my fist, and it broke immediately. The battle began, and the room became a battlefield. Bridge’s pack came at us, moving swiftly and brutally. They were unusually fast, unlike the previous night where we easily kicked and beat their asses. I barely had time to react before a large wolf swung a heavy fist toward my head. I ducked, spinning on my heel, and drove my elbow into his ribs. He grunted, stumbling back, but I had no time to finish him off, another enemy was already coming. To my left, Nicholas was locked in a deadly clash with two warriors, flashing his blades at them. Nyx was fending off two close to her, moving in a very fast manner. Blue had taken on a massive opponent, dodging and weaving like a shadow. Gary fought with sheer brute strength, smashing through enemies with terrif
Kieran's POV I was furious. The sheer amount of dark magic that Bridge had used to summon those wolves was beyond anything I had ever seen. It wasn’t just reckless, it was evil. He had caused destruction without cares for who got caught in the chaos. And for what? Power? Control? I clenched my fists as we walked. The thought of how close we had come to losing everything made my blood boil. I had barely escaped the fight without serious wounds. The burns on my hands had healed, but the memory of the pain still lingered. And Nyx… If anything had happened to her, I didn’t know what I would have done. The wind had saved us. It had come out of nowhere, powerful and fierce, tearing those monsters apart. At first, I thought it was a natural storm, but deep down, I knew better. It had felt like something greater, something beyond mere chance. It felt like the Goddess. She wouldn’t let us die, at least not when there was still so much left to do. The fight ahead was too big. The missi
Nyx's POV The three extra wolves growled louder, looking more ferocious than the one we so desperately suffered before killing. “Guys, just focus on the heart,” Kieran said, finding his way to stand up. “Fucking hell,” I muttered. “What should we do, Alpha?” Nicholas asked.Before we could come up with a plan, the wolves were already after us incessantly.One of the wolves targeted Blue and Nicholas, another one charged straight at me, and the last one went after Kieran. I barely had time to react before the beast swung a massive claw at me. I dodged to the side, feeling the heat scorch my skin as the flames brushed past. I pushed my speed to the limit, darting left and right, making it hard for the wolf to land a hit. Kieran had already engaged his opponent, straining his muscles as he wrestled with the massive beast. He dodged a fiery bite just in time and landed a powerful punch to its jaw, sending it staggering back. But unlike the first wolf, this one recovered instantly
Kieran's POV I immediately pulled Nyx behind me, seeing the huge creature of fire that stood before us. It looked deformed to an extent, and wasn't as beautiful as I'd have thought a fiery wolf to be, but what was I really expecting from dark magic?The wolf howled at us, and it was fire that came out of its mouth. We were lucky enough to have dispersed before it could burn us down.“No one dies, not now,” I said, and we began to fight.The fiery wolf let out another earth-shaking howl with flames spilling from its mouth as it snarled at us. Its glowing red eyes burned with nothing but rage and destruction. The surrounding air got very heated, and the ground beneath us trembled. I could feel myself tremble from the appearance, but I could not show fear. Not as a leader. Not now, not ever.I yanked Nyx behind me as my instincts kicked in to protect her at all costs. She was faster than anyone I had ever seen, but this wasn’t just any fight. This was dark magic, and I couldn’t risk los
Nyx's POV Kieran’s strain with his brother had been weighing on him all day, and it showed in everything he did. There was tension in his shoulders, in the way he moved, and in the sharpness of his words whenever he spoke. He wasn’t outright angry, but he was obviously bothered.I could feel it too, even though I hadn’t been with him for most of the day. He had left the pack house earlier with Nicholas, and I hadn’t been able to check up on him. I wanted to, but I also knew that when Kieran needed space, it was best to give it to him. When he finally came back, I could tell right away that he was still vexed. His jaw was clenched, his hands curled slightly into fists like he was holding something back. But then, his eyes landed on me. And just like that, most of his anger melted away. I saw the change in his face, the way his expression softened, the way his shoulders relaxed just a little. It was subtle, but I noticed it. That small moment, that little shift, filled me with wa
