The Chosen One Chapter 25: WORLD OUTSIDE THE ROOM
Mima’s POV “Luna.” I froze at the soft, respectful voice calling me from behind. I kept walking away, they must be referring to someone else. It wasn't till I felt a hand on my shoulder that made me jump that I realised I was the one being called and referred to as Luna. I stiffened instinctively. The title of Luna still felt too big for me. It still felt like something I wasn’t ready for. When I turned, I found a man with dark, intense eyes and a stature that spoke of strength. His face was calm and he had a small smile on his face. “I’m Beck, the beta of the pack. I think I must have startled you,” he looked at me sheepishly, scratching his head as he looked at me. “Beck,” I said, forcing my voice to remain steady. “I’m... not used to this.” He smiled. “I understand. You really just only got here” I nodded, unsure of what else to say. My feet shifted on the ground, restless as I stared at anything but him. “I’ve never been a part of a pack like this.” “I know,” Bec

Mima's POV I kept running, they kept chasing me. I was in the woods at night alone, the trees twisted and gnarled, stretching like dark, skeletal hands reaching for me. The moon above was blood red, casting an eerie glow across the forest floor. My feet slipped on the damp earth, as I pushed forward, trying to outrun the shadows that seemed to close in with each breath. I turned back to check if my attackers were still there, and like I guessed, they were. Hooded men, their faces hidden in darkness, moved with unnatural speed. And trailing behind them, Shadows. Shapes that seemed to writhe as if they were made of pure night. Dark figures that were neither fully human nor fully beast, their eyes glowing with a hunger that made my skin crawl. The growl rumbled through the trees, low and menacing. I could feel it deep in my chest, like it was coming for me, stalking me. My breath hitched, and I forced myself to keep running, but the branches of the trees seemed to tangle together

Mima's POV I woke up in a dimly lit chamber. I groggily turned my head to look around. Where was I? Where was Rake? Then suddenly, the memories flooded back. I was kidnapped from my room by that strong stranger. I attempted to move but had to stop as I hissed out in pain. I looked down to see that my hands and legs were bound by a strange dark purple glowing metal that hummed quietly with magic. The air was stale making it hard to breathe. My senses were still disoriented when I heard footsteps from my left. “You're awake.” The person said with a dark chuckle. It was the same man that was in my room. He abducted me. “The master would soon be here to see you. Make sure you're on your best behaviour.” His low laughter infuriated me. He slammed the doors as he walked out of the room. One glance at the chains and I was thrown back into the memories of when I was kept like this in Dylan's pack for days. I was facing the same date here. Why was my life so difficult? Fat te

Mima’s POV A cold, damp chill clung to my skin as my eyes fluttered open. The scent of burning wax and blood filled my nose. Candle flames danced wildly, casting twisted shapes across the chamber. I was lying on a raised stone platform, my arms and legs restrained by heavy iron chains with spikes that dug into my skin when I moved. Blinking against the dim light, my gaze trailed across the room. At the far end, an altar stood, stained dark with what I didn’t want to guess. A massive, ancient-looking book lay open beside it, its pages yellowed and curling at the edges. Symbols, etched in something deep red, covered the surface, pulsing faintly as if they were alive. Then I saw them. A ring of twelve figures stood around me, their long black cloaks blending seamlessly into the shadows. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but I could feel their eyes watching me. Behind them, separated from the rest, was a thirteenth figure clad in red. Unlike the others, his presence

Rake's POV I could feel the rage burning in my chest. The moment Mima was taken, I went wild. I didn’t think so. Didn’t plan. I just moved, tearing through the castle, demanding answers that no one could give me. My wolf pushed at my skin, clawing to get out, and I let him... just a little. The memory of her voice screaming out my name before she disappeared right in front of me kept playing over and over in my head. The figure that held on to her, I would find him and snap his neck. I seethed. I needed to find her. I needed to make sure she was okay. My mind wouldn’t let go of the fear that gripped me when I realized she was gone. Tracking the remnants of the portal took longer than I’d hoped, the researchers group in my pack found it difficult to determine what kind of transportation stone it was and where the destination was. Since I also hadn't marked Mima, I couldn't talk to her through the mind link. I rubbed my forehead soothing the headache I was having. Mate.

Rake’s POVI didn’t leave her side. Not for a moment.When I brought Mima back to the pack house, I laid her in my bed. The healer examined her, but there was nothing to explain what had happened. No marks, no wounds. Her skin was smooth. She only had chars on her but after cleaning her up, she was fine. But something inside me screamed that something had changed.I paced the room, my wolf anxious, pushing against my chest. Something was wrong. I couldn’t place it, but I could feel it, her scent had altered. I could put my finger on it but I just knew that something was not the same anymore.The pack was restless. The warriors muttered behind my back, questioning what had happened, why she was taken and why she returned to this state. They were already suspicious of the state she was in when I brought her in, but now, they're more curious.They wanted answers I didn’t have. I couldn’t give them answers because I didn’t understand this either.“Stay away,” I snapped when one of the war
Last Updated : 2025-02-10The Chosen One Chapter 31: THE LAKE
Mima's POVI had lied to Rake.I had to.Why did you lie to mate?“So now you want to talk to me? You've kept me shut out from reaching you all this while. I told one little lie and you're coming for me?”Mate needs truth.“Stop it, okay? It's not safe for him to know.”I remembered every single thing that had happened to me. From the abduction in my room to destroying the room I was almost sacrificed in. What I didn't remember was how I got back to Rake's pack or how he had gotten there.I told mate to come.“Even after I told you not to several times? I handled it. Now there's a target on his back, too, if those people are still alive.” I sighed as I ran my hand through my tangled mess of hair.I looked at myself in the mirror; I didn't look any different. Passing out for three days did bring colour back to my skin but I was skinnier.My tummy rumbled as if it could hear my thoughts. I chuckled as I got into the shower and got myself ready.By the time I was getting out of the bathr
Last Updated : 2025-02-11The Chosen One Chapter 32: GIVING SPACE
Rake's POV“I would like to request more time before Mima introduces herself to the pack and for us to mate. She is not ready yet.” I said as I sat on the throne looking down at all the elders in their seats.A larger percentage of them were dissatisfied with the fact that I found my mate and they are yet to know who she is or what she even looked like.After not meeting my mate for years, many of the elders started getting greedy and setting me up with their daughters or nieces or even their cousins because of the power of a Luna.Once Mima came into the picture, they saw her as a threat to their big plans. At first, they thought she was fake, so they didn't think too much about it, but my soldiers have been spreading news of meeting her.They have been agitated ever since.They have finally found their voice and now want to use the powers of the elders to subdue me but they must have forgotten who owns the pack and who rules over them.“Rake, my dear. It is tradition that a week aft

The Chosen One CHAPTER 143: THE QUEEN RISES
Mima’s POVI stood in front of the healersitent, watching as the injured soliders where taken in one by one. Any injury too big would then require my attention.“Mima.”I turned slowly, and there he was… Dylan.His once pristine armor was cracked and bloodied, a ghost of the Alpha he used to be. His face was gaunt, eyes wild and desperate. His steps were uneven as he approached, and for the first time, I didn’t feel the familiar hate that I felt toward him. I felt… nothing.“You came back from the dead,” he said, breathless, as if seeing me alive again was too much to believe. “You came back for me.”I frowned. “I didn’t come back for you, Dylan. I came back because my mate prayed to the goddess for me to come back. I had to. For them.”His jaw tightened. “You don’t mean that. You… you still love me. I know you do. You wouldn’t have come back otherwise.” He stepped closer. “Everything we had, everything we were, it meant something. I lost my Luna. But you… you're still mine.”“No,” I
The Chosen One CHAPTER 142: BACK AGAIN
Rake's POVThe world had stopped.I couldn’t hear the cries of victory around me. I couldn’t hear the screams of my pack. I couldn’t even hear the roar of the wind as it tore across the battlefield. All I could hear was the only sound that mattered.. and it was the deafening silence in my heart.Mima.My fingers brushed her cold, lifeless face as I cradled her in my arms. Her skin was pale, the life that once burned so fiercely in her eyes now snuffed out. “Please…” I whispered, my voice barely a breath as I bent over her. “Please, Mima… don’t leave me. Not like this. Not after everything.”My wolf howled in agony, pressing against my chest as if it, too, could feel the emptiness inside of me. The loss. The endless ache. The weight of her death was too much to bear. My chest tightened, my lungs burning as I fought to hold onto the fragile hope that somehow, someway, she would open her eyes again.But as I sat there, helpless, holding her in the midst of the chaos, a sinking feeling
The Chosen One CHAPTER 141: FIREBORN
Mima’s POVHe was smiling.That wicked, cruel smile, aimed directly at me, as if daring me to try something, to fight back.As if he hadn’t already taken enough.Kia gasped, kicking, blue sparks fluttering weakly from his fingers. Rake’s eyes were wide, his body twitching in resistance, but he was too weak and too injured.And I was useless… lying down there not able to save the ones I loved. Is this really how it would end? Is this what all I've done will amount to? A scream tore from my lungs as I forced my body to lift from the ground even with the hole of the sword attack from Stephanie still in my chest.My hair whipped around me as they grew longer and shone brightly in their white glory. The marks on my skin began to glow brighter and brighter than they've ever shone before and my voice? It didn't sound like it was only mine.I screamed again and the earth yielded to my call like I was its owner. The sky dimmed, clouds swirling. The earth groaned beneath me.Viktor's grin falt
The Chosen One CHAPTER 140: YOU RUINED EVERYTHING
Mima's POVRake’s grip tightened around me as I collapsed into his arms, and for a moment, I felt like I could breathe again. But the illusion was shattered now, and Viktor’s rage was not far behind.“How dare you!” he roared. The air around us rippled with pressure as if reality itself buckled beneath his fury.A blast of dark energy shot from his palm, slamming into Rake and sending him flying from me with a sickening crunch."RAKE!" I screamed.He hit the ground hard, coughing up blood, his body limp.I felt something inside me snap.The illusion, the pain, the grief, it all faded, replaced by a white, hot fury that surged through my veins like liquid fire.Viktor turned to me with a twisted smirk. "Still so fragile, little Alpha.” He looked as if he was lost in thought and then spoke. “I thought lycans are meant to be stronger.” Then bellowed out a laughter. But I was already moving.I summoned every ounce of power I had, launching a wave of searing fire toward him. It struck hi
The Chosen One CHAPTER 139: A PIT OF GHOSTS
Mima's POV"You're lying," I whispered. My voice cracked under the weight of everything.Viktor. He must be lying… there is no way that someone related to my family would cause so much actual chaos. He isn't telling the truth. He's not my uncle, he's not related to my dad's and there's no way he shares the same blood as me.He smiled like he knew every part of me. Like he was waiting for this meeting his whole life."No, Mima," he said gently. "I never needed to lie. Not to you. I mean this is the end that determines it all so why would I need to lie? I have no reason to do something as insignificant as that.”I took a shaky step back. My heart was racing, every instinct screaming at me to fight. To burn him. But I needed answers."You look exactly like him," I said, voice hardening. "How is that possible? Even if you're brothers you don't need to look like him this much. You must be trying to fool me." I already told you that I have no time to play such phony games and we look alik
The Chosen One CHAPTER 138: BLOOD AND MIRRORS
Mima’s POVWe followed the trail that they had left behind.Marks, clawed bark, blackened grass, smoke spiraling in the wind like fingers pointing the way. The packs and their warriors that we have assembled, Alpha after Alpha and warrior after warrior followed me.No one asked where we were going. They trusted me. Rake walked beside me in silence. His blade never left his hand. Beck and Zahra were already ahead, scouting. Everyone else trailed behind, a small continent of fury and fear marching toward a battlefield they hadn’t seen yet.But I had.In my dreams. In the whispers from the goddess. In the warnings carved into the bones of my losses.Still, when we arrived, it didn’t look like a war zone.It looked… empty. What the hell is going on?And in the center, maybe twenty of them? The shadow soldiers.I stiffened. “This isn’t right.”Zahra frowned. “Where’s the rest of them?”“They want us to think this is it,” Rake said. “It’s not.”I didn’t speak. I just stepped forward.Ever
The Chosen One CHAPTER 137: LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Mima’s POV“Rake? Mima?” Zahra called out as I poked my head out. She rushes over to me and hugged me tightly and Beck turned in the direction that Rake was looking and saw Martin's body leaning by a tree. The hood was off so it was pretty obvious that the man was dead. Zahra turned and saw it for a second before she held me tighter. I was numb and wanted to cry but no tears were willing to come out. “I'll get the body.” Beck volunteered and walked towards where the body was. He put the hood back on and carried the body in his arms while Rake took me out of Zahra's arms and into his. “You're certain that you didn't run into anyone on your way here?” He asked and they both nodded. Rake shook his head and then signalled for Beck to start moving so we can get back to the pack.No one said a word on the walk back.Rake carried me because I was still shaking too much to walk properly. His chest was warm, but it couldn’t chase away the chill inside me.Beck walked ahead of us, Martin’s
The Chosen One Chapter 136: THE GHOST WHO SAVED ME
Mima’s POVIt was strange… waking up and actually feeling stronger.Not just rested. Not just healed. Stronger.It had been three weeks since training started, and a while since Rake and I mated and somehow everything was falling into a rhythm. The packs, once strangers and even enemies, had found a weird sort of harmony in blood and sweat.Kian had leveled up so fast it was almost scary. His elemental power had gone from flickering sparks to full-out flames, literal ones and his forcefield gets stronger as more impenetrable per day.At one point, he scorched the edge of the training field and Frederick nearly had a heart attack. Ria’s speed was unmatched, and she’d been training stealth maneuvers that left even seasoned warriors blinking in confusion.And me?I wasn’t just shooting fireballs anymore. I could shoot bigger ones and I could use my powers for a longer time without feeling tired easily.Rake noticed it first.“You’re glowing,” he said bluntly one night.I snorted. “What,
The Chosen One Chapter 135: IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS
Mima’s POV“I must be dreaming,” I said flatly, staring at the man walking into my office.Dylan.Of course.“What the hell is he doing here?” I muttered.‘if you're here to ask for the release of your elders, it wouldn't work. They committed a crime on our turf and our land so your begging is useless.” I said and he looked taken aback.Guess he wasn't informed about that yet then. “He says he wants to help,” Rake said from beside me, jaw tight.I let out a dry laugh. “Help? His pack slaughtered mine. Help is the last thing I’d call this. Plus, his pack is filled with disgusting and bike creatures that would do anything for power. Him included.”I said loud enough for him to hear what I thought about him.“I know.” Rake’s voice dropped. “But we need the numbers.”I hated how right he was.We had maybe two, two and a half thousand wolves tops. Kian and Ria’s intel put Viktor’s army over six thousand. Trained.I didn’t have the luxury of pride right now.Frederick stood ahead, already
