The Blood Moon Ascendance

Mia's POVI came back from one of the neighbor's gardens that I was asked to work on, only to meet my parents and my sister sitting in the little courtyard. They were too busy having a family timeout that my presence was unrecognized. "Mum, Dad, I'm home!" I said happily as I skipped towards them only to meet the shock of my eye. All my boxes of gifts were outside and my mother was selecting stuff from them carefully.I stood in front of my parents and tried to fight back my tears as I watched them take everything that belongs to me and hand it over to my little sister."What's going on mother?" I asked but she only glared at me and didn't utter a word.The pain I felt from being mocked by others for the mere fact that all my mates have wolfed out and I still haven't, was nothing compared to the pain I felt when my parents constantly reminded me of how I am so much of a disappointment to them."But Mum, I really loved that dress…"I whispered in tears as I clenched my fists and sobbe

Xavier's povI finally summoned up the courage to confront my lover, Mia. Brushing my hair to one side and making sure to straighten out my clothes, I grabbed the bunch of flowers I picked out yesterday and headed to her house.I decided to go to her when nobody else was at home, so I could have all of her attention to myself."Hey Miaaa…." I said smiling as I walked up to her in the garden and leaned over to kiss her forehead."Hey Xavy, come sit. I have so much to tell you…" she said happily and I tried to guess what could be so exciting but I couldn't so I just decided to let her speak."Well I have exciting news too, but I'll let you go first" I replied and took a seat beside her."Guess what happened at the lake yesterday?" She asked and clasped her palms together."If I could guess then, I won't be waiting for you to finish your sentence now, would I?" I asked and placed my hand on her shoulder."I met Hazel!" I paused for some time and tried to recall who else could be bearing

Mia's POVI wrung my hands in despair and paced around my room. On my bed were scattered assorted articles of clothing. I didn't know which to wear. All of them seemed too shabby to wear to the palace. However, the clothes were only part of the problem. I was very excited yesterday when Hazel invited me to the palace. But after my visit to Xavier, I couldn't help but get nervous. It suddenly dawned on me who Hazel really was. Of course, I had known he was the successor to the alpha, and the prince of our kingdom. But meeting him away from the palace, in my own environment, had somehow made it a distant knowledge. It was somewhere in the back of my mind, but never acknowledged. And now I got the invitation and I'm forced to acknowledge it, I have lost my confidence. Was I worthy to be in the palace? Do I know how to act? Would the nobility there like me?Such questions continued running through my mind throughout yesterday, which was the reason I didn't honor the invitation till tod

Mia's POVI watched with some trepidation as the lady marched right up to me so that the tip of our noses almost touched."Do you hear me?" she growled. Her eyes turned dark with rage, and I could see her wolf was so close to the surface, which sent me from trepidation to downright fear. "You stay away from my boyfriend. Who are you anyway?" She repeated, jabbing a finger at my chest. I took some steps back when the aura of her wolf's aggression washed over me in waves that had me suppressing a shudder. I knew a wolf protecting her territory when I saw one, and this one was doing so. Viciously. Why hadn't Hazel told me he has a girlfriend? Or was he just playing with me? Was I just some amusement to him? I felt my heartbreak at the thought. Lumps rose in my throat and tears sprang to my eyes. Through the corner of my eyes, I saw Hazel stand up. There was rage on his handsome face, rage I never thought could be there. "I…I…I didn't know he's your boyfriend —" I stuttered. "Of co

Mia's POVWhen I arrived home two days ago, my parents were not home. Apparently, they have traveled to some neighboring kingdom. There was no one to tell my good news. I was absolutely sure Penny wouldn't rejoice with me, so there was no use sharing the news with her. The only other person was Xavier, but when I called at his place, he wasn't around. In fact, I had called at his house two days ago right after I returned from the palace, but he had not been around. I called on him two more times, but got the same result.I felt like I would burst at the seams with joy if I didn't tell someone. Luckily, just as I was getting ready to go and check on Xavier a fourth time, my parents returned from their trip.After I helped them with the load they brought back, I broke the news to them directly. My mother stared at me, not daring to believe it. She cupped my face and looked deep into my eyes, as if trying to find some hint of a prank in my eyes. Obviously finding none, she put her hand
