We walk back leisurely, and I listen to Mona attentively as she explains the organization of the square to me. She went through the sitting arrangements, and we had to halt at a point to get a clear understanding of her explanations with the help of the illustrated plan on her tablet.An hour later, I was completely exhausted. Adina had arrived with my breakfast earlier and insisted on waiting on the meal until I was ready to eat.After eating, I listened to Mona go on and on about the preparations, and when she was done, I got to understand where it might have gone wrong.The focus of her plan is on the seating arrangement and lighting, which isn't bad, but It could be adjusted. Reducing the lightening and instead, introducing soft lights.Since it's a marking ceremony, soft light will offer mates some privacy. Besides, we are werewolves, so it's okay to mark and maybe fuck our mates during the mating ceremony, which would be a full moon night too

~Xyana~When we get home, Dion leads me to my room on Gaston's floor as he gives me the top gist about a couple of the pack members. We arrive at my room; he stops at the door, a sad smile on his face. "It feels so good to see you happy, Sunshine." He says, touching my cheeks gently. "I hope you have a lovely evening with Bones."I clear my throat, "thank you." I say, kissing his finger on my cheek.We just stand there staring lovingly at each other while I enjoy the hell out of his scent. After a few seconds or minutes, I can't be too sure. He shakes his head, grinning. "Oh, looks like you want to eat me up with those eyes." He jokes, laughing lowly. He plants a kiss on my forehead and says; "I want to stay right here with you, but I have to really go. The Alpha gave me a couple of assignments to carry out. But I took out time to check on you since it was your first time going to the construction site.""Thank you for always caring about me. See you l

~Xyana~Stepping out of my room, I head straight downstairs and run into an Omega along the hallway.She directs me to Clifton's office and I head outside the pack house. Shielding my eyes from the fading rays of the evening sun, I turn the curve to the same complex building where Gaston's office is located.I pass the large living room and take the stairs to the first floor which brings me to a door with the tag; 'Beta Clifton.' My heart beats into my throat and I gulp down before knocking.He calls me in from behind the door and when I step inside, it is obvious that he isn't expecting to see me. But he immediately wipes the shocked expression from his face and clears his throat."What are you doing here?" He asks."Umm... The Alpha sent me."He stares at me, a deep scowl on his face. But I continue speaking. "He says you should reply to his mails immediately, and I should treat the message as urgent.""I just replied to his mail," Clifton tell

~Xyana~“I'll tell my mates, I'll start with Declan, tonight," I tell Clifton. "And for your information, if they reject me, get ready to be rejected by me too,” I whisper and start heading to the door."Never!" Clifton yells. "You can never reject me."Inhaling sharply, I wipe my eyes before the tears can fall and turn around to see Clifton standing right beside me. 'How did he do that?' A frown has replaced his arrogant expression as he looks at me.“What?” I ask, my voice shaking embarrassingly.He adjusts his weight onto his other leg as he clicks his tongue. “I'm not asking you to tell them because I want to punish you, I'm asking you to tell them because they deserve to know the truth. And even though I might be praying that they take it so badly and it ends with rejection, it doesn't make me evil or a villain.”“Ha,” I breathe out, letting my arms slump to my sides. “Go fuck yourself, Clifton!”He smiles, "I like it when you try to act me

~Xyana~Dion had gotten lots of lovely outfits for me the other day and although I still don't feel like the most beautiful girl in the world when I wear them, I don't feel so ugly anymore. Not with Mona making sure I wear an outfit that compliments my body type.By the time we got done with me, I couldn't recognize myself anymore. I look like I just got out of a stylish beauty-trained box. I twirl in front of my dressing mirror and watch the crystals on my dress glow effortlessly. My face is shining, so beautiful with the lush and soft makeup Mona applied on it, and my hair feels soft like rich-fluffy-expensive-fur. My skin feels like butter."I look so different." I exhale staring lovingly at myself."I'm glad you approve," Mona replies, giddy with excitement. "I can't wait to hear everything tomorrow. You owe me that much tomorrow." He says pointing at me. "Don't forget.""I'll tell you what I can." I chuckle."I'll find a way to make you tell me

~Xyana~I silently curse myself as I see the blue twirls in Declan's eyes disappearing. He seems to have perceived the change in the atmosphere as his expression gets replaced with a worried look.Maybe I shouldn't tell him. I could just tell him a convenient lie and hope he doesn't find out. But that would be unfair. As my mate, he deserves to know the truth. Clearing my throat, I rub my palms together, making him look at me even more worried. “Is everything alright?”“Uhh? Of course,” I answer, forcing a smile.After taking a big gulp of my red wine, I start speaking. "I was young when it happened. My father died during one of the numerous wars between our pack and some of their rivals." I swallowed air, terrified of the things I was going to say. "My mom couldn't bear the loss. She was one of the pack's biggest surgeons at the time. But after my father's death, everything went downhill. Her surgeries were becoming terrible and she had to pause at a poin

~Xyana~"Listen," Declan starts, "I don't know what you were expecting me to say to you, Xyana.” He sighs, throwing his napkin on his plate. "Your wolf may forever not connect with ours, and that is such terrible news. And then there are other things you said."I gasp audibly at the impact his words have on me. When was the last time he called me by name? Has he ever called me by name? My stomach turned at the sound of my name from him, making me want to empty it's contents onto our beautifully decorated meal table.I should have kept in mind that these men are powerful. They must have thought Juno would come around eventually. Now I've told Declan that, in fact, Juno has a reason for behaving the way she does, and not just that, I'm also a murderer and a liar.Goddess! I've messed everything up. These men are feared amongst other werewolf packs and it's no doubt they can't tolerate someone like me as their mate. If they reject me and let me go, maybe I'll

~Xyana~A purr rumbles through Declan's chest as he breathes me in, making my legs wobble like it's about to turn jelly. “If Clifton wants to reject you, then that will be his loss. More for me!”I whimper as his declaration hits me right in my core. He bites my lobe gently before straightening back up and sweeping through my face with his gaze. His gaze moves from my lips to my eyes. The blue shade of his pupils is practically glowing as his demeanor changes into something predatory. "Gorgeous Mate. You're not planning on ever leaving me, right?" I nod instantly, feeling as if I were being put in a trance by his eyes that are still focused on me. He holds me hostage with his gaze for another few heartbeats before he draws me in and wraps his arms around me.He leans in and stops barely an inch away from me; his lips are right next to mine, and his breath is fanning my face. My breath hitches in my throat as his lips hover temptingly over mine, and I

~Xyana~I wake up the next morning feeling like I can take on the whole world. I'm rested, I'm calm, I'm happy. But not until I start feeling that familiar burn of hotness and coldness all at once. Clasping the sheets I’m entangled in, I take slow, steady breaths to calm myself and reduce the pain. But it doesn't work.'Is this still the same feeling from a couple of days ago or am I now going into heat?'With everything my body has been sexually subjected to these couple of days by my Mates, it's pretty obvious that I'll go into heat soon.My mind goes back to a statement Juno made about my mates priming me to go into heat so that they can possess me with their wolves and as I think about it, I find it so funny that Juno can make up scenarios just to push the narrative that someone isn't good when she wants to. But if they're really priming me to go into heat, then maybe they think it would be easier for me to take all of them during my heat and not t

~Zegulf~Gaston takes a few steps closer to me but stops halfway. "They planned to locate the two most powerful werewolf packs, eliminate their Alphas, and turn their successors against each other.""And why would they do that?""Because..." He pauses and looks around before speaking again. "I'm yet to get the full details. But I'm working on it, I promise you.""Don't promise me shit, I don't need your promises.""Zegulf-""You want me to believe that it took you several years to find this story of yours out?" I cut him short. "You are a Warlock, Howling."He feigns ignorance like he doesn't know what I'm talking about. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I know what you are, and I'm certain you know what I am. It's just disappointing that it took you years to figure something as simple as this out. Looking at it, I believe it's your area of expertise. You–"He cuts me off with an acidic smile. "Oh, forgive me that I'm not as hot-blooded as you are. Forgive me that I take my time to fi

~Zegulf~When I finally step into my Pack's waiting hall. Gaston Howling and his brother were seated, waiting for me. Once they see me approaching, Gaston flashes that notorious sneaky smile of his. "Zegulf Landerman." He calls, extending his hand for a handshake.I'll be damned if I take his hand. I ignore him and ask instead; "what brings you to my pack, Howling?"He shrugs, "you know what. But that's okay. If you don't mind, I'd like us to discuss the matter that brought me here privately."My men have circled the room and my Pack's security toughened up. If he is planning on creating a sort of distraction, in order to sneak his warriors in, it definitely won't work.I wouldn't have let him into my pack if courtesy doesn't demand it, sadly. "Follow me," I say to him, moving ahead with five of my men following us behind.If Gaston Howling wants to attack me, my men wouldn't hold a candle to him because he would easily rip them apart piece by fucki

~Gaston~Clifton will ruin everything if we don't get to him before he acts. I had Killian confirm that Clifton's Aston Martin wasn't packed in his car garage. That explains why he left with the car. And knowing Clifton well enough, his only focus would be to rescue Xyana. So he wouldn't want to mess his opportunity up.That simply means he will wait till nightfall before making a move. That gives me less than six hours to stop him from being the reason this silent war between Zegulf and me will erupt into a physically unstoppable one.Rhenat is seated from across the room with Dion and Declan standing at the entrance. They are staring at me expectantly, wanting to know what I'll do.I tip my head towards the door. "I'll leave you alone for now," I tell Rhenat. "I need to speak to my brothers and find a way to stop Clifton from ruining everything."Rhenat nods. "Yes, Alpha. I will put a call through to you when it's done.""When what is done?

~Zegulf~The marking is complete. At least, I think it is. But it doesn't look like she's breathing well. Her breaths are coming slowly, and I'm terrified that she might be dying on me. It's not supposed to be this way. The marking between Werewolves is supposed to be a beautiful euphoric experience. But I'm not certain it would be the same with a Moon-made. I stare at the Cabal and they stare back at me, confusion on their faces. 'Yes, I'm confused as well.' I whine internally.When I spoke to Kadila earlier about marking Xyana tonight, she told me to go ahead and mark her that her presence wouldn't be needed. Now I think I need her because I'm clueless as to what to do since Xyana is barely breathing. Panic is threatening to take hold of me as I mind-link my Beta, Xavier to bring Kadila over.I can feel all the little hairs on my body stand up as if I’m inside some giant electromagnetic field. Pressing my ear to Xyana's fairly warm chest, I listen to the barely audible heartbeat

~Zegulf~I let Xyana spend the rest of her day in my room sulking.She had thought I would finally agree to let her go, but If only she knew that she was asking for the impossible. Letting her go isn't a sentence I want to be associated with. Not when the Moon Goddess gave her to me on a platter. I have a woman any Alpha would die to mark. A woman who can easily bring even the most powerful Alpha to his knees. It's sad that she has no idea who or what she is and how much power she holds.Towards the evening, the Alpha's Cabal, Roldolf, Ezra, and Thaddeus, arrived at my private chamber. I had the guards set up the room with a round table that would bring all of us together because I asked them to bring Xyana over as I wanted to introduce her to them.Xyana stops at the door, confusion shrouding her face as she stares from me to the three other men in the room."Come on in, Firefly," I call her fondly, waving at her.Slowly, she pushes her b

~Zegulf~The next morning, I have the maids bring Xyana downstairs to the dining room to join me for breakfast. She looks well rested, and even far better than yesterday. The wound on her arm looks better, too, and I have no doubt it will take just a few more days or a week to heal perfectly.She is wearing a very pretty dress I believe to be part of the ones delivered yesterday by the personal shopper.When she sees me across the dining room, she smiles and greets me. Then I quickly pull out a seat for her. I can feel her cheerfulness surge through me."You seem well rested.""Yes, I am. My wounds are healing pretty well too. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness.""Oh, it's nothing really," I reply.Then I snap my fingers. The maids quickly started serving us breakfasts of boiled eggs, coffee, and wheat bread. Since Xyana came into my life, I made it known to the butler that our meals should always be healthy.Watching her ea

••PRESENT DAY••~Gaston~I'm seated in my private chamber with Rhen seated across the table from me. "Is it done yet?" I ask her checking my wristwatch for the time.She told me that Kadila was trying to unbound Clifton's and Xyana's souls as she could feel the gradual neutralization of the magic she used.So we agreed that it was best to let the soul-unbounding ritual go on, and at the peak of it, I will be able to connect to Xyana, just to see if I can pass a message to her in her dreams."Not yet," Rhenat replies. "But any moment now."I scowl as the image of a happy Zegulf appears in my head. He must be super elated and proud of himself. Does he even think that I won't know what he's trying to do and what he's really up to? Only a fool would assume that I'm clueless and Zegulf is no fool.So I have no doubt he's suspicious of my silence. Why wouldn't he be? If I were him, I would be suspicious too."Xyana is going to survive this, r

••A WEEK AGO••~Gaston~There are lots of things I need answers to. And I've tried getting these answers from elsewhere. But there are still lots of empty spaces that need to be filled.The answers aren't as explanatory as I wanted, I need more. I needed to hear them as they were. If there was a prophecy about this new Moon-made, Xyana, I needed to hear it word for word, not as hearsay, but as the absolute truth.The only person with the answer to my question is Rhenat the Witch. And even though I've tried to avoid going to her for help by exploring every other option available to me, I still have to say that she holds the complete information I'm after.So I had no other option than to get Callum to set up a private meeting with Rhenat without anyone's knowledge. I left the pack after midnight with Killian, my most trusted man, with me, we shifted to our wolves and ran all the way to Callum's pack. He was already waiting for us with a clean change

~Zegulf~Xyana and I had a beautiful day touring my pack. She did feel on edge for a while, but eventually, I was able to get her to relax and enjoy the tour.We had lunch under a cabana at the private pool behind the pack house. The view was beautiful and I had no doubt she loved it but would rather not say.After lunch, we visited a few more places within the pack before retiring for the evening. I took her back to my room and left her with a few of the maids who had already been briefed on serving her a spiked drink to put her to sleep in preparation for Kadila's visit.**Barely two hours later, I brought Kadila into my room after making sure she was properly covered.Kadila was dressed in one of those colorful outfits of hers that tells me she is in such a great mood. As usual, she attended to Xyana's wounds before taking a seat on a side stool at the center of the room."Will you mark her tonight, Alpha?" Kadila asks, rubbing a dark-c
