LOGINThird personKael remained on the floor of the control room long after the call had ended. He didn’t know how to digest the news. His breathing was uneven, his fists clenched, and his eyes darkened. For years, they had believed a lie. They had moved on and forgotten a part that should never have been buried with the past.Beside him, Varik was just as hurt. All these years, he had watched Kael wish for the impossible. Every anniversary, he would say the same words.“Why didn’t death take me and not Emade?”She was only a day old. So young, so full of life. Yes, the fire came and swallowed everything. The little perfection that lived within that place turned barren overnight.The monitor continued to show Emade’s baby pictures one after the other as she grew. The nuns had done a wonderful job. She looked so delicate, her skin soft, and her smile radiated behind every captured flash. But then the truth he was about to open her to wasn’t so bright. Growing up without parents is one thing
Third personThat morning, the first message Alpha Kael got was the sealed file transfer from Darius. The moment the data arrived, Kael’s phone glitched a little before resisting whatever software the files came with, but unlike other phones, his was custom-made. A phone is very difficult to trace or hack, and, most importantly, he could make calls without revealing his location.“Varik...” Kael quickly woke up Varik, who yawned a little and then straightened up.“Seal the front.”Varik didn’t ask questions. He did as he was told, and the front guards were all dismissed, leaving only shadowy eyes watching from dark, unseen corners. The moment he retired back inside, Kael held his phone and walked over to the bookshelf. There, he picked up a book, one with a clean back arranged with other files, and immediately the shelf moved, revealing an inner passage. Kael and Varik stepped in, and it closed behind them.Within the shelf was a hidden control room unknown to anyone but three people.
Third personThat night, no one seemed to get any sleep. Emade had freshened up and settled inside the room given to her. As instructed, it was directly opposite that of the alpha and Luna. She was given clothes, new clothes that Liora never got to wear because of her pregnancy, and she looked marvelous in every one of them. They weren’t just made from top-quality fabrics, but the designs and styles didn’t look common.Emade sat on the soft bed, her head leaning against the soft pillow, but sleep didn’t come despite her aching body. Somehow, her mind couldn’t forget Kael’s touch, the way he stared at her like she was some lost jewel, and how her body warmly reacted to his touch. But what even baffled her was how boldly she had stood up to him. It was something she would never have done.Not even at work, as her employer turned her into a slave and made her work double; still, she had never complained or raised her voice beyond the required volume. But a few hours ago, she had not onl
Third personThe convoy reached DarkMoon, and the moment they stepped past the border, Liora leaned forward and carefully handed a hoodie to Emade.“You wear this, and no one should know your name... we will call you Eda till the alpha figures out what’s happening.”Emade didn’t understand a word, but she nodded.When they pulled over inside the mansion, she was all covered up, and without delay, Bianca led her upstairs while Liora waited for Kael.Kael didn’t say a word. He walked over and held his wife’s hand. Mrs. Agatha Whitmore and the others quickly gathered to greet the alpha and luna. Liora gave a smile, but Kael didn’t even glance once. He reached for the hand of his luna. She was having a little hard time climbing the stairs, so he accompanied her, and as they got to their room, Emade was inside the bathroom with Bianca.Liora had earlier instructed them to make use of theirs since a room was still to be prepared for Emade.Not long after, she walked out with her blond hair
Third person Dawn broke, and no one had slept. They looked like zombies pulled out of a horror movie. Kael, Liora, and Varik sat before the poor waitress they had resorted to kidnapping the night before. She had not resisted, not because she knew them. She had heard of the arrival of the Alpha and the Luna Queen; it was all her coworker talked about, and how the Alpha had made regular trips to get things for his pregnant wife. But it was rather unfortunate; whenever he came, she was off, except for that night her coworker had called in sick and she had to take her shift.But then her mate was sitting across from her, and her wolf kept saying he was harmless.“What... It’s been hours. Can someone say something?” Emade hissed.All three glanced at each other, unsure of where to start. Her resemblance was uncanny. Either it was perfect plastic surgery carried out in the human realm to stir them up, or it was no coincidence for the merchant’s name to be brought up just days ago, and toda
Third person The council chamber emptied under strict order, and Luna’s council members didn’t hang around long. The verdict was final, and the elders who had pushed earlier had nothing else to hold onto. The moment the last of the members walked out, Rylan was still seated, and Selene stood by his side with their now sleeping little girl. She was cute, she smelled nice, and for some reason, he thought he could have the world and still have her. If Kael could have it, then why couldn’t he?The elders deserted him faster than his mistress had. A few hours ago, Alina Minced had walked into his room. She didn’t come with her usual cheerful self, the one who would bat her eyelids and make him spend beyond the planned budget. The energy around her was cold.“Babe,” Rylan choked, but Alina just glanced around like the place where she had spent too many nights hoping to wake up as the Luna, now disgusted her.“Don’t call me that,” she hissed, then glanced at the pile of herbs on the table.
Third PersonAlpha Kael stood outside as Helene rushed out, her body visibly shaking, and the sight of him only made her tremble more.“Alpha,” she forced the words out.Unlike Bianca and Nora, who couldn’t hear anything, he had heard it all. So without another word, he told Helene, “You may leave.
Third PersonEveryone had been digging tunnels on land they didn’t own, and so did Luna of Darkmoon.Ever since the first kick, she had been nothing but restless. Her body had always responded to Kael’s presence, his touch, the echo of his voice, and even his scent, but never did the baby react.Th
Third PersonAway from the grounds of Darkmoon was the Frostfang envoy; they had just arrived. Frostfang and the guards welcomed them back. Karine, who was absent-minded all through the trip, stormed to her room without delay, but soon after, a guard came calling.“The alpha demands your presence,
Third PersonEverywhere was quiet, but the lights in the Alpha’s study were yet to go out. Varik watched Kael review one file after another with no sign of retiring for the night.“Alpha…” he called cautiously.“Yes,” Kael answered without taking his eyes off the file in his hand.“Won’t… won’t you
