ログインHenry’s POVMorning came the next minute.I hadn’t slept, not even for a second.When the fire died down sometime in the night, leaving behind nothing but ash and the faint warmth that refused to linger, I stayed there, sitting with her in my arms for longer than I should have, longer than I had any right to, because she'd fallen asleep.At some point, I carried her back into her tent.Now, I stood outside the tent, arms folded around each other, and my mind being ran by a lot of trails of thoughts.The thoughts of Elara filled my mind. I couldn't get off my memory when she laid in my laps, very vulnerable, receiving the fire's warmth.I gulped, and cocked my head, reminding myself again why I'd come here.Even though she's been a distraction, it was a good one. I planned to sneek out to the temple to seek for the answers I came here for before she woke up, I wanted to make a fish sauce for her breakfast, but before I could finish processing my thoughts, I heard movement.My body rea
Henry's POV Nothing, I mean absolutely nothing had prepared me for the scent that hit me at the entrance of the soire. I'd come to seek the moon goddess, not my mate, but I'd abandoned my mission, temporarily to trace after this scent that knew how to get me wild all the time.I'd traced it and there she was, at the mate bond break wing. My heart jammed agaisnt it's chambers. What was she doing here?And why would she be at the mate bond break wing.Just like she'd summoned by my own scent, she stood on her feet the next moment, casting thoes eyes on me.Thoes wide dark eyes, I'd kill for. Thoes eyes that awakened the emotions in me.I gulped, "what are you doing here?"I mouthed, my legs stiff on the floor. I'd wanted to go meet her, but her eyes were no longer warm, instead they stared at me like they'd devour me."I should be asking you that!"She growled."I...I came to appease the moon goddess, and you...?"What does it look like I've come here to do?"She shot back. She wasn
ElaraAfter the night had settled, I slipped into a thick black robe. Anna helped me pack some clothes into a portable bag and gathered a few edibles we had gotten from the pack.In the thick cold of the night, the breeze carried a heavy chill, and the tree branches danced restlessly. Our legs marched gently but firmly toward the entrance of Central Pole 1, where Sam waited for me in the car.Anna took my hands, squeezing them between her palms.“You sure you want to do this?” she asked, staring deeply into my eyes.For a moment, the weight of my decision pressed heavily on my shoulders. If I destroyed the mate bond, that would be it forever. I might never be lucky enough to receive another one with any wolf.I heaved a sigh, releasing warm air from my chest.“I’m not going looking for love anymore, Anna,” I said, holding her gaze firmly.Anna nodded after searching my eyes. She could tell how serious I was.“I can tell you anything, right?” I asked, and she nodded without hesitation.
Henry's POVAfter we left the Moon Shield pack, Alpha Eddy and I headed to Central Pole 2.It was a very long drive, and by the time we got to our destination, the sun had sunk deep beneath the clouds, with the moon now sitting high in the sky.The maids quickly set up the tents and made a fire. We settled in and had some pastries we packed in our supplies for dinner.When we got to the bunker, about a hundred wolves were already there.Alpha Eddy had said the numbers would be few compared to the situation at Central Pole 1, but I was still freaking out, even with this number.My chest tightened each time I moved towards a bunk to heal a wolf.I didn’t know what this moon fever was about, but it definitely wasn’t a good feeling.“I’ll go to the soire tomorrow once we’re done with the healing.”“You want to break a mate bond?”Eddy said, eyeing me in an amused way.“Far from it.”I said, waving off the trail of thoughts beginning to cloud my mind.He had no idea that the Luna of Moon S
We all marched to the bunk. Distant sounds echoed, and the air was thick with tension.My palms grew colder, my feet too. It wasn’t about the cold, I could tell that.We were walking to meet thousands of wolves in critical conditions, and that made my heart bleed.When we got to the bunker, we held our hands together, forming a circle.Alpha Shawn looked up at the sky and made a short prayer.It was a necessity for operations like this, even though I wouldn’t indulge in it if it were me. I wasn’t in a good mood with the Moon Goddess… but it let the Moon Goddess know we were set for the operation.We got into the bunker, and the sight that met me was far more delirious than I had expected.The doctors and nurses began to dispatch quickly to various sections.Earlier, Anna had helped in drafting different positions and assigning each team to a designated duty.The medical teams would keep the patients stable, while Alpha Shawn and I moved from bunk to bunk, healing the wolves with our e
I spun to the direction where I perceived the scent the most, but I didn't see who I expected. Instead, Alpha Shawn was standing by the waterside, emitting the same scent Henry would if he were the one.My stomach churned further, and this time, I practically held myself back from jumping on him.My wolf, Millicent, giggled in excitement and ran all over me.Alpha Shawn was shirtless, I freaked out when I noticed that. I was freezing, but there he was, completely shirtless."Hey..." he said as soon as he sighted me. I saw his face tense slightly."We're going to give it our best shot, okay?" he said, toying with a pendant on his neck.His voice sounded calm and reassuring. I nodded, feeling grateful that he was looking out for me, but that wasn't the case at this point.I was literally losing my mind."Where is he?"I muttered, making sure I wasn't hallucinating."Who?"He asked, his eyes narrowing as he spun around, searching for someone."He... Henry?""Central Pole 2?"He raised h

Henry's POV A knock came very early the next morning as I was fastening my vambrace.Th sharp, hurried tap on the door immediately put every nerve in my body on alert. "Enter", I called out.My guards stepped in, bowed stiffly, then straightened with visible unease. "Your majesty...Luna Chrysanth
Elara’s POVIt's been two days of making preparations for the full moon which will take place in the next three days.I got up feeling rejuvenated. I hadn't felt that way in a long time.Who would have thought that the simple decision to just live for a day would have this tremendous impact in my l
Chrysantha’s POVThe forge smelled of iron and smoke and old bargains.I liked places like this. They were honest in a way courts never were. Metal did not pretend. Weapons did not lie. They either cut, or they failed.Alpha Daryl stood across the long stone table from me, broad-shouldered and watc
