LOGINElara"My eyes have got to be kidding me!"I growled low in my belly as the scent hit my nose the scent of the very man I’d wanted to avoid, to break whatever bond was binding us together.No… no, the Moon Goddess had to be playing games with me or something.And to think my request was rejected?Damn!I shrieked as I paced from one end of my tent pole to the other, literally begging my heart to stop drumming.I’d left Henry somewhere at the field and warned him never to come close to me again.He’d probably decided to stay away, I didn’t see him coming to the tents."I'm going to try one more time,"I whispered to myself and made my way back to the temple, hoping not to bump into him.I’d never heard of a request being rejected in soire, let alone one to break a mate bond.The Moon Goddess seemed to be playing games with me.And no matter how I tried not to get furious at her, it only got harder.I got to the temple after some minutes.Thankfully, I didn’t bump into Henry.I guessed
Henry’s POV Morning 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 move
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
“Rest, My Lady”Anna’s voice broke into my thoughts before I could say another word.“My lady, you need to rest,” she said softly, her tone firm but gentle like she was speaking to a child. “You’ve been through too much. Maybe that’s why your hair is acting strange. Stress can do a lot to the body
Elara's POV It took me almost thirty minutes to dress up, tie a scarf over my hair and come outside.The courtyard was buzzing with shouts, hammering, and carts rolling over the pebble pathway.The pack soldiers were training, and the barracks were being reinforced. They were all trying yet I sens
Henry's POV Every instinct in me roared at once. My wolf was clawing, thrashing, demanding I move. I stormed from the council hall before anyone dared speak. If Damion thought he could keep her from me, if he thought a single boundary line could stand in my way, he was a fool.She was mine. She wa
Elara's pov The next time I woke up, I felt an immense pain in my head. My whole body ached like I had wrestled with a thousand men. Battling to regain my freedom was enough of a struggle to throw me off momentum. I'd never felt weak like this in a long time. The only time I had was when Dimitri
