LOGINPENIELI groaned, turning away from the sunlight streaming in through the windows and into my eyes. We had forgotten to close the curtains last night. Let's just say, we had been more focused on… other things.Stretching slowly under the soft sheets, I sighed, my body aching in that pleasant, familiar way. I rolled onto my back, and stretched my hand to reach for presence that usually stayed behind me, only to come up empty. My eyes flew open.I sat up quickly, dragging the blankets over my chest. The space beside me was empty and judging by the cold sheets, Luciano must have been up for a while. Where could he have gone? I wondered.I didn't have to wonder long. Because as I made to get up, the bathroom door swung open and Luciano stepped out. Water dripped from his dark hair, trailing down his sculpted chest, before disappearing into the flimsy towel wrapped low around his waist, the only thing preserving his modesty from view.I could tell that it wasn’t doing a very good job.He
PENIEL We all sat around the fire, listening to Alpha Luciano speak. "We've lost many in the past war.""The war against the Red moon pack, albeit we came out victorious, we still lost someone.""A brother, a father, a son, a wife, a daughter, each and everyone of us lost someone in that war.""And whilst we were recovering from that, we faced yet another against Alpha Henry's pack.""And the moon goddess allowed us to be victorious once more." "Soon, we would be going to fight another war." "Just as we haven't abandoned our pack, let us live to fight another day!!!" Alpha Luciano yelled. The rest of the members of the pack including myself applauded him for such a nice speech. Luciano sat beside me once he was done with his speech and smiled the biggest smile. He was definitely different from the cruel stoic alpha that I used to know. That's for sure. "I can't believe this sexy alpha is mine." I whispered in his ears. "How about I show you?" He teased. "Okay." I smiled sed
LUCIANOI couldn't believe it. Alpha Henry had escaped. The news sent a wave of panic through the pack, and I knew I had to act fast. My beta was taken to the pack healer for treatment as he had passed out but we would be needing information on what really took place that led to Alpha Henry's escape. As the alpha, it was my duty to protect my pack, and that included protecting them from the likes of Alpha Henry.I called an emergency meeting with my top advisors, including Peniel, my mate and the Luna of our pack. We gathered in the main hall, the tension palpable as we discussed the situation."We have to find him." I said, my voice firm and authoritative. "He couldn't have gone too far."" We need to track him down and bring him back before he causes any more harm." I deadpanned. The others nodded in agreement, but I could see the fear in their eyes. We had just won a major battle, and now this. It was like we were staring into the face of a new war.These days, it was almo
PENIELI stood still, my eyes locked on Alpha Henry's as he approached us. The trees seemed to wave even more and the moon shone brighter than usual. "You must not fear me so much." He chuckled as he got closer to us. The air was thick with tension, the only sound the rustling of leaves beneath our feet. Luciano stood beside me, his body tense, his eyes blazing with fury."Ah, Luciano,." Alpha Henry sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "I've come to tell you that you're no match for my army. When I'm done with you, I'll take Peniel and her mother back, and they'll pay for your mistakes."Luciano's laughter was like a crack of thunder, making Alpha Henry's face twist with rage. "You think you can take us down, Henry? You're just a coward, hiding behind your pack." He scoffed. Alpha Henry's smile was cruel. "We'll see who's the coward when my army tears you apart."I felt a surge of anger, my fists clenched at my sides. This was it, the moment I'd been waiting for. No more
I can't believe I'm actually here, back in Luciano's pack. I thought the members of the pack would hate me for running away after I fought to be Luna but they're all so... warm and welcoming. I feel like there was no point in me leaving and I've finally found a place where I belong.After much explanation, I realised Luciano had been in the forest for days looking for me and Anna was actually a member of our pack. I still can't believe she tried to sell me out but she must have had her reason so I don't hate her too much although I hear she's in confinement. As I watch Luciano interact with the pack's children, my heart melts. He seemed so different. So homely. He's so gentle and kind, a side of him I never thought I'd see. He picks up a little pup, tickling her belly, and she giggles, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck.I feel a pang in my chest, a longing I hadn't realized was there. I want this, I want a child of my own, a family with Luciano. But the pack healer's wor
PENIELI was lost in a deep slumber, my body and mind exhausted from the events of the past few days.But as I slept, my subconscious was working overtime, picking up on the faintest whispers and murmurs that seemed to be coming from outside my room.At first, the voices were just a distant hum, a gentle buzzing in my ears. But as I listened more closely, I began to make out individual words and phrases. Anna's voice was among them, and she sounded...nervous. Cornered.I opened my eyes, my heart beating faster as I realized that something was off. I lay there for a moment, listening intently, trying to make out what was being said."...can't believe you brought her here instead of taking her back to the pack." a gruff voice was saying. "You know what they'll do to you if they find out.""I didn't have a choice." Anna replied, her voice laced with desperation. "I need to use her. You know I'm in trouble, and-""You're in trouble?" one of the men interrupted, his voice dripping wit
