Amber
It’s past midnight and I’m having trouble sleeping. If I’m being honest, I haven’t been able to sleep well since I got rejected.
I will never forget his icy glare and how he told me he couldn’t believe the moon goddess paired him with someone so unattractive and obviously unfit to be his Luna.
Of course, I have my flaws. Who doesn’t? But the way he spoke about my attractiveness was like a dagger to the heart. I’m not as strong of a wolf as others are because my biological dad was a human. My metabolism isn’t as fast as everyone else’s, so I have a bit more curves than most she wolves. My complexion is a light shade of brown and seems to be the perfect mix of my dad’s dark brown skin and my mom’s pale white. I got my hair from my dad’s side. It was pitch black and coily, but I loved it and felt like it fit me well.
But… for whatever reason, my mate didn’t find my curves, skin, and hair attrac
Silas I didn’t go to bed till past 3:00 a.m. but that didn’t matter because I finally have my best friend back. Unfortunately, through everything, I have lost the relationship with my twin brother. I must believe that one day we will work through everything, but that day is not today. My footsteps echo through the hall as I walk towards my parents’ room so I can discuss this opportunity with them. I will not tell them about the fact that I’ve already made my decision. For now, I will act like I’m still deciding just until I can get a feel for how they’re going to feel. I knock on the door and there’s no response. I’m about to knock again whenever I get a mind link and I hear Kai’s voice ringing in my head, “Come to the main meeting room. Get here fast, trust me.” Thankfully, I had the sense to get in my regular clothes today, so I am not running in there in pajamas. I rush up the flight o
Lux This morning’s impromptu meeting was… hectic, to say the least. Even though Silas told me his decision last night, it didn’t stop the pain I felt in my heart from him leaving. Kai had the three of us go down to the kitchen to drink some celebratory hot chocolate and the two of them talked about all different things pertaining to pack life. My head was in another place, though. I’m about to go to the Bloodlust Pack and take my place as Luna, my brother is about to become the Alpha King over all werewolves, and my best friend is going to be at least 12 hours away from me taking place as Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack. I’m happy for him, truly, I am. I’m just going to miss him. Once we got done drinking our drinks, I was going to head to my room to call Apollo, but Kai asked me, “Can you come with me?”I murmur, “Yeah.” He leads me outside and says, “Okay, I want to shift and try to stay
Nadia I could sense when my mate crossed the borders. I internally groaned to myself. Words can’t describe how grateful I was to have some time away from him before the princess and I moved to the Bloodlust Pack permanently. My hands continue to move as I fold laundry and hang the princess’s clothes up. A knock on the door and I can smell his scent and I exhale slowly as I debate whether to open the door for him. He says, “I can smell you in there, Nadia. I can also hear the sound of your heartbeat.”I say nothing, and he huffs and then says, “Your heart is beating fast. I’m not sure if it’s out of nervousness because I’m near or because of excitement… or maybe both?” It was both. I’m nervous because I don’t really want to be around him, but excited because… he’s my mate. And he’s pursuing me. Even though he has obviously done some stupid stuff, he still wants to put in the effort for me. An omega.
Lux Being with Apollo is addicting. From the moment that I smelt his scent and knew that he was in the same pack as me, I became obsessed with him. I didn’t want to be away from him, not even for a second. As we walk through one of the pack trails, I tell him abruptly, “I think I’m ready.”I can hear the curiosity in his voice as he asks, “What are you ready for?”I fall silent as I feel nervous about saying it out loud. I squeeze his hand and say, “We should go to your pack… permanently.”“Lux…” He is apprehensive about my decision. I thought he would’ve been overjoyed by it, but he was hesitant. Have I done something to make him not want to be around me? Does he want to reject me now? My heart clenches in pain at the very thought of being rejected. He notices the change in my heartbeat, and he says, “Hey, what’s wrong? I just want you to be sure of your decision.” I realize how ridiculo
Lux As I tell the girls some of the details of mine and Apollo’s heavy make out sessions, I felt a bit hot and bothered. But Iris made some comment about Apollo being sexy as hell, and suddenly Calvin was over in a jealous rage. I can’t help but laugh at their actions, but the heat is feeling unbearable. I stand up and Silas asks, “Do you need something, Lux?”I nod as I tell him, “I feel warm. Could you lead me outside or maybe to get something to drink?”He takes my arm as he leads me out. My body feels hotter with each second, but when he touched my arm, I immediately feel cool where our skin was touching. Along with the coolness I felt, I couldn’t help but notice the tingles I experience from his touch. Why does he have this effect on me? I thought Apollo would be the only one capable of that. The heat becomes unbearable, and I can’t help the heavy pants as I try to take in some deep bre
LuxWhen I get handed over to Apollo, it helps cool me a little, but I find it odd because his touch isn’t as soothing to me as Silas’ touch was. I thought Apollo was supposed to help calm this heat. Why isn’t his touch helping more than Silas’s?He carries me to my room, and he runs his nose along my neck and shoulders as he breathes in my scent and he says, “My beloved, you are absolutely delectable. But I need to know how you want us to handle this. We probably should’ve talked about this before, but uh, this is taking me off guard.”It was me too, but I don’t know how to explain how I am feeling. I try to search for my wolf. Surely, Kodi will know the best step to take.I don’t know where she’s at. It’s like she’s hiding inside of me. I’m on my own and I really wish I wasn’t. I tell Apollo, “I don’t know. But I’m not ready for us to be… intimate yet.”He nods, “Got it. How about marking? If
KaiDinner is uncomfortable.Apollo doesn’t keep his eyes off of Lux and Silas seems to have trouble not looking at her. Apollo is possessive, though, because of her being in heat that Silas is careful not to look for too long.On top of that, I can’t help but notice that Lux’s mark doesn’t look normal. Is it because she hasn’t marked Apollo back?I don’t know how that whole process works, but her mark looks inflamed. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be for the first couple of days?She surprises me when she mind links me, “You’re staring rather hard at me. What’s going on?”I want to chuckle from her comment. She’s blind, but she still knows who is looking at her and for how long. I respond, “How does your mark feel, Lux?”She huffs through the link before responding, “Hot. Insanely hot and kind of itchy to be honest. Is that nor
LuxI thought that when you slept with your mate that it was supposed to be the best sleep that you could ever have. Why isn’t it like that?I am uncomfortable with Apollo’s arm draped around me. I feel like I’m on fire, and my mark itches like crazy. Why is it itching?I somehow maneuver in just the right way to slip out of Apollo’s arms. I sigh in relief as I make my way to my door, and I realize that if I try hard, I can hear the hustle and bustle of the omegas preparing for this morning’s feast.Did I sleep at all last night?I resist the urge to scratch at my mark and decide to take a shower. I step into the cold shower, something that I normally hate, but not today. Standing under the cold water feels refreshing and helps me wake up.I don’t know how long I’m in here before I hear a rat-tat-tat on my door. I inwardly groan at the thought of it being Apollo. T
