FAZER LOGINWe charged together, Alphas and Lunas side by side. We were fighting with armor and swords and battle horses today, our wolves ready within us in case the battle turned dire and we needed to fight this the monstrous wolf way. “Moon Goddess, guide us,” I prayed softly as our horses trudged up the hill of snow. Kal threw a spear of ice at the nearest Rogue and impaled him right there and then. A wave of his hand to the fire and with a mighty winter wind blast, the fire gone out and only smoke and ashes remained. “Kal, don’t overdo your powers—” But then a black wolf slammed into my mare, and I’m almost knocked over to the snow. Furious, I burned the black wolf with my silver-dark blue flames. The Crescent Woods Pack’s Alpha and his mother were
We all sat at the table of lavish design. The glass roof above showed that snow fell softly and the sky was clear enough to gaze at the crescent moon. “So how did you two meet, child?” The old lady asked. “Her Majesty,” Luna Lillian corrected. “She’s not a child, Helga.” “My apologies, Your Majesty.” The mother of the Alpha of the Crescent Woods Pack, Helga as Luna Lillian called her, tilted her head as if assessing me. “Is it true you and His Majesty met during the battle in the grounds of the Blackwind Pack? I wasn’t in the Alpha Winter Ball unlike these two Lunas. They often tire me and bore me easily.” The other two Lunas rolled thei
The throne room was adorned with silver and blue in lovely decorations. Blue Silks, white flowers, and Fionn’s new crown was even a literal silver-diamond and the most gorgeous sapphire. No doubt a gift from the Alpha King and the witnessing neighbor Alphas.The throne was made of marble. The roof, just like the Winter Castle’s and this pack's dining hall, was made of glass—visible to the winter night sky. The interior of the throne room was snowing gently but the snow never touched the ground. A light, cool breeze greeted all the attendees. The crescent moon above seemed to smile down at us.I lined up along the neighboring Alphas in the front since I represented the Nightblood Pack. No one bothered to look for Alpha Gregor—he’s now rumored to be one of the Alphas who have connections with Marc after all. No surprise about that either.“Where’s the damn emissary? He should be arriving an hour ago!” growled the Alp
It took all my strength to refrain from crying and hugging him and tell him, "I love you even if you won't say it back." True enough, a blizzard from outside made us eat in the dining hall after all. No one questioned the Alpha King of Winter even when everyone in the country knew that the weather is tied to His Majesty’s emotions. We could have grilling and roasting and drinking outside if only the sky was clear and the stars were out.“Kal, please...” I pleaded. “If your mood is because I said those three words to you, then I don’t mean to invade your personal space or someone else in your heart,” I paused and lifted my glassy eyes at him. “I’m just telling you how I really feel.”Kal gaped and swallowed his buttered potatoes. He shook his head. “It’s not about you, my winter sunshine. It’s more about me. It’s just...can’t we talk about that right now, please? It’ll onl
“Something bothering you?” Because I do, I almost added softly. At this, my mate opened an eye and glimpsed at me. Our eyes met and it took all our effort not to let our lips too. “Yes.” Kal yawned. “How can you tell?” “We’ve been together for weeks, if not a month or two, and we have a mating bond so...” I chuckled when our noses nuzzled against each other as if we were back to being children again. As if we’re not full-grown adults ruling an entire werewolf country. “Are you no longer tired? Have you gained strength enough?” Kal smiled. “I have long gained my strength and my teleportation since this morning, Evadne. I’m just feeling...not in the mood.”I blinked. He does look like he just woke up from a nightmare. “Did something happen while visiting the Moon Goddess’ temple?” Kal sat up and he too was completely naked. “No—I mean, yes.” He hesitated and straightened his back. He grimaced. “Is some
‘Tears are not a sign of weakness,’ my wolf encouraged. ‘Just because our mate doesn’t cry in front of other people doesn’t mean he’s immune to emotions. Our mate prefers to let his tears have no audience. We should learn to cry at the right time and know the difference between tears of strength weakening and tears of not giving up.’ I greeted every single one of the wounded and helped them in little ways I can. I know this is the duty of Healers, but I want to be there for my subjects whether we're celebrating or recovering from a battle. It seems like I got to know more people during this time than the festivity we had during Kallias’ three days of victory feast against Marcus in the Trial of Alphas. I find it funny. A pregnant Healer asked me to accompany her in the tents outside that housed some of the wounded with minor injuries and I complied. While doing so, I spotted in the window of our bed chambers. Kal was pacing back and forth, looking worried. Why
His words remained suspended in the air as I processed each word carefully. “I thought mother died of childbirth?” “She did...” he sighed before adding, “She also did not.” I scoffed and straightened my back. “For what it’s worth, I think mother dying early is a salvation fo
'The Alpha King seemed to devour any storm passing by just to show me his effort for us to dine together for the second time,’ I was telling myself. Begging myself. ‘Please don’t run to the toilet yet.’ I swallowed. Perhaps I should fart in my room first before meeting the Alpha King.
“You look like you’ve been through shit.” I was on her threshold and she was holding what seemed to be a cup of jasmine tea when I knocked. I brushed my snowy shoes on her rags as Beta Geneva swiped the door open. “I was. In fact, I—” But then I shook my head. I cannot tell Beta Geneva ab
Dawn arrived, and it didn’t take too long to guess which pack won. Bright red blood stained the snow like rubies swimming in the moonlight. Before the hours of the fighting in the dead of night, the Alpha King brought me to his camp nearby where his pack healers and Omega servants are, an
