Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale)

Your typical fairy tale begins with "Once upon a time," followed by a princess being rescued by a knight in shining armor. But not every story starts like that. Especially mine... Now, let's go back to the beginning... or at least the beginning, I remember. I always felt like something was different between my family and me. Whether you call it a sixth sense or kismet, I had an unshakable knowing that there was more to my existence. From what I remember, we had a wonderful life filled with smiles, hugs, and kisses. Little did I know, there was a dark secret lurking behind the façade, ready to shatter our family and alter the course of my life forever. My father was the Alpha of the Shadow Borne Pack—the most prestigious and well-respected pack in all of Shadow Falls. I never considered him an Alpha; he was just my dad. He was my best friend and my protector. My father was an Alpha by birth, whereas my mother was born an Omega. This is the lowest rank in any pack. It is common for

From Alexandre's POV "Beep beep beep, my phone alarm sounds off, signaling 4 a.m., time for a run. Three years have passed since I last slept past 4 a.m. It was not easy to get used to the alarm, but now it is music to my ears. I was about to throw the cover off me when I felt something on my waist. I looked over to the right side of the bed and saw Jessica fast asleep, her arm lying on my abdomen. Her blonde hair covered her face as she slept next to me—a sad excuse for a woman so desperate and annoying. Wearing only a red-colored baby doll, she would do anything to get my attention in hopes of being Queen. If only she had just realized her sight disgusted me. She wasn't fit to be Queen. The thought of my mother's crown upon Jessica's head made my stomach twist. I tossed her arm off me and quickly jumped out of bed, heading straight for the bathroom, not even glancing back so as not to look at her if she woke. I quickly shut the bathroom door, changed into sweatpants, and headed f

From Arina's POV I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room. I glanced around and realized I was in the hospital. I had no memory of how or when I got here. I remembered only one thing: Rick yelled at my mother. I felt a sharp pain when I tried to turn on my side. My insides felt like they had been stabbed. Suddenly, I heard the monitor beep louder, signaling the nurse to come in. "Princess, please don't move; you'll tear the stitches," the nurse said as she walked toward the monitor and turned off the alarm. "PRINCESS". I mumbled as I glanced at her. No one has said those words to me in a long time. The only person that called me was the nurse assigned to my father. I looked up at her and was surprised that the nurse who had attended to my father that very night was now attending to me. Tears filled my eyes as the memory returned. "Are you alright? Does something hurt?" she asked with profound concern. "No, I'm fine, thank you," I told her, wiping my eyes. "Then why are

From Alexandre’s POV The many files I still had to read had just been piled up on my desk, but I had no energy to read them. The information Thiago provided me regarding Luna Eleni seemed wrong. I pulled out my cell phone and looked through my contacts. I knew only one person could get me the answers I wanted. I just needed to make sure he could get them immediately. Time was of the essence. I quickly dialed the number and waited for them to pick it up. "Andre, what a surprise to hear from you. How are you?" A voice over the phone asked. "I am well, and yes, it has been too long for old friends like us not to speak. How is the family?" I responded. "They are doing well, but the boys are officially getting on my nerves. They can hardly be kept in one place with all the running around. I always wanted kids, but I swear if I ever find out who came up with that damn BABY SHARK song, I promise it will be the end of them!" he replied. I laughed in amusement at the thought of him hearin

Alexandre's POV Dealing with all this was a headache. If there was one thing I hated the most, it was drama among packs. It was a waste of time and energy that could be better spent focusing on more important matters. I always tried my best to avoid it, but sometimes it was impossible to get away from. I wanted a peaceful pack where everyone could work together in harmony. I wanted everyone to be able to trust each other and to cooperate. I wanted everyone to be able to rely on each other. "Wishful thinking," I said aloud as I turned my attention back to the files on my desk. Addressing complaints and obtaining financial approvals was Thiago's responsibility under normal circumstances. However, since I had him digging into Eleni, I was now left with the task. I had just opened a file when a knock came knocking at the door. "Come in," I said, not bothering to look up from the file. "Andre," Thiago said as he entered my office. I glanced up at him briefly and nodded in acknowledgme
