Tania's POVFor the first time in seven years I felt like I belonged. Crescida, a land which was my worst nightmare before, had become a place similar to home. All these were made possible because of our determination to get things right and I am grateful for it.Talon and I strolled through the kingdom of Crescida, the cobblestone streets beneath our feet echoing with each step. The bustling marketplaces and lively taverns slowly faded into the background as we ventured beyond the familiar paths. Tall stone buildings and intricately carved archways lined our way, whispering tales of the kingdom's storied past.As we wandered, the ambiance shifted. The air grew cooler, carrying with it the scent of moss and damp earth. We followed a meandering path that led us away from the town, guided by the whispers of rustling leaves and the distant sound of flowing water.Soon, we found ourselves ascending a rugged mountain, its slopes adorned with ancient trees and lush vegetation. The hike was
Tania's POVOh, Talon," I whispered, my heart swelling with a mix of emotions. His words resonate deeply within me, unraveling the layers of pain and sacrifice he had endured. The weight of his past struggles became palpable, and I realized how profoundly he had suffered for the sake of a kingdom that was not his own. Talon's selflessness and unwavering determination painted him as a true embodiment of love.Without hesitation, I enveloped him in a tender embrace, seeking to provide solace and comfort. Tears welled in my eyes as I realized the magnitude of his sacrifice and the pain he had carried silently. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret for my initial overreaction, for not taking the time to hear his side of the story. If only I had known that it was my own kingdom he had fought to protect, I would never have fled from his side.With a heavy heart, I uttered an apology, the words pouring forth with sincerity. I expressed remorse for not giving him the chance to share his
Tania's POVAs the golden sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft, ethereal glow upon the magnificent palace grounds, the day of our enchanting wedding had finally arrived. The air was charged with an electric anticipation, and the moon hung high in the night sky, ready to bear witness to the union of our hearts.The palace, adorned with intricate carvings and adorned with delicate moonlit tapestries, stood as a symbol of our ancient heritage. Towering columns lined the grand hall, their surfaces adorned with vibrant flora and intertwined silver vines. The scent of wildflowers and pine wafted through the air, adding an intoxicating touch to the mystical atmosphere.I stood at the entrance of the grand hall, my bridal gown flowing around me in shades of moonlight. The fabric shimmered with silver thread, mimicking the celestial radiance of the night sky. Delicate moonstones adorned my hair, cascading down like cascades of stardust. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant how
TANIA'S POVIf only I had gotten a glimpse of what that night would look like I would have prevented the dreadful thing that happened that night from happening. I would have stopped the melancholy that beastly night brought alongside it. The tears of the innocent poured out to the ground, their screams and fear lingering in the dark night sky and more especially... The blood of my family wasted that night.My people. My family. I lost them that night to the hands of our rival pack. I lost them seven years ago to the hands of the Alpha King, Avalon of Crescida Kingdom. The leader of the Demilune Pack -- the most dreaded pack on the horizon.Now only I was left from the lineage of my late father, Alpha King Devon, the mighty lord of valor and the leader of the Blue Moon Pack whose life had now been shortened and his existence deflated to the grave.Just like yesterday, I can remember how most of my people were killed that night. Men especially and a few women who struggled for their free
TANIA'S POVLexi screamed at the top of his voice the moment he felt my teeth penetrate into his flesh. I could even see the maidens hold their mouths with their hands in shock and their eyes widened at my painful deed.They were already used to my stubbornness but I am sure that they didn't expect what I did at all. I was not the type that held patience and even if I was to exhibit traits pertaining to that, it definitely won't be with this perverted man.Lexi pulled my hair backwards forcefully. I could see his eyes turn red with rage. If it were possible for the eyes to spit out fire, I am sure that he would have burnt me right away with it. He gritted his teeth and he held my hair so tightly that I thought that it was going to come right off from my scalp.A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I felt those forceful hands at the back of my head. I tried to shake myself off from his painful grip but with each attempt I made, he ended up dragging it more backwards."I see that you have refu
TANIA'S POVThe next thing I felt after those strong hands pulled me over to the side was my ass hitting the ground and before I could understand what was happening around me, I yelled out immediately I saw a black wolf jump out from the other side to attack me but there was someone that stood in place of me. It was a man. At least I could tell from the visible outline that curbed out from my night vision. He pulled me and began to battle with the Wolf. It even made me wonder if he had seen it before he pulled me to the side. That explains it – he saw the wolf coming to attack me and then he saved me right on time.I panicked as I beheld the fight that continued between the animal and the man. I was still uncertain as to whether the wolf was a pure animal or a werewolf turned animal but either way I dragged myself backwards trying to find solace in the nearest tree that could protect me from the deadly combat.As soon as I settled in, curling myself to the ground with my knees hugging
TANIA'S POVMy eyes widened as soon as my eyes met with his and he released his hand from my mouth."What are you thinking?" Came his low pitched voice as he continued to stare into my eyes with our bodies still pressing against each other. This was the first time that I was hearing him speak and his voice sounded different from other voices that I have heard before. There was no word for it. Or maybe there was but I just couldn't describe it. Stern? Yes, that one was for sure. Deep? I think Baritone was better, but that wasn't the word I was looking for yet. Fruity… That was it. This was the perfect word that I could use to describe him. His voice was stern, vivid but fruity, especially with the way he asked me that question.I felt ripples of an intense feeling surge through my body. That was definitely a first. That was the first time I felt that way after hearing a man speak. Or maybe it was the cold, I convinced myself. I cleared my throat and pushed away, creating a space for me
TANIA'S POVI hesitated at first because I still had my doubts about him but then I reminded myself that this man saved me and it was his place that I was going to. If he wanted to harm me then there would have been no need for him to save me from the Night Wolf. But what if he saved me to present me as a feast for his people? If that was the case, then he wouldn't have threatened to leave me to die here in the woods under this freezing cold?Aside from that, there was just this aura of comfort that I felt around this man. I didn't know him but it felt as though he was someone that was worth knowing. Or someone that is worth being with. Maybe I was being delusional. Why was I even reasoning these things at this time as if I had another option aside from accepting his hand?Without further hesitation, I placed my hands in his and good Goddess, his hands were warm to the touch. Warm enough to stop the goosebumps that rose up consistently on my skin. If only I can get him to hug me right
