EPILOGUEThird POV“It's time,” Asher said and kissed Alessia on her forehead. She looked away and wished for a flushed face before kissing him back. She wiped the beads of tears that rolled down from my eyes as she watched her twin sister being dragged to the execution ground. Maybe triplet sister. Not long after her parents returned, she found out that Alyssa whom she used to hate but protect was her sister and they were triplets. She thought she would be glad to watch her wicked sister die but she couldn't bear it. But her sister still deserved it. She tried to kill her and made her lose her first pregnancy. Asher's supposed heir. “You'll be fine,” Asher muttered and stroked her hair. Of course, they tried to forgive Amelia and redeem her but she claimed to be irredeemable. She wanted to die and pass on to the other side to meet her mate, Xavier. “I'm sorry,” he muttered and hugged her as she watched her sister's head roll down on the execution ground. Finally, everywhere wa
"Good day, the indigenous members of the Grey Moon pack," "As the newly appointed Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, I hereby announce… Amelia Clement as the new Luna of the pack," he paused, and I gasped out in shock. My eyes bulged out of its socket immediately. What! My mouth opened agape in shock. I felt all the blood in my veins dry, and my heart froze the moment I heard his announcement. I couldn't get myself for a moment. It was as though the world had crumbled on me. I felt my heart shattered into pieces as I listened to Xavier who announced my twin sister as the Luna of the pack. He couldn't possibly choose my sister over me, right? I've been with him for years as his girlfriend and fiancee. This must be a joke. I thought it was a prank even though it looked real. It had better be a prank because I wouldn't be able to handle the heartbreak if it was real. My heart clenched in pain as he turned to me. I turned to Xavier with my eyes filled with tears. He stared at me with a bl
Xavier"Xavier, Amelia.""You both are going to pay for this."I sighed as I listened to her threat and curse. She stomped out of the hall."What's wrong?"I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as I heard her voice from behind. She cocked an eyebrow and stared at me with a confused look."Nothing…" I muttered with a sigh. She scoffed before crooking my hand into her palm."You're thinking about her, right?" she asked, staring at me with a stern look, but I looked away."But I thought you said you weren't in love with her. She's nothing to you, right? We just used her to make you the Alpha of the Grey Moon pack.""Or do you have feelings for her?" She asked, and I scoffed."No, I don't," I replied."Then why are you feeling uneasy? You've gotten the Alpha position that you’ve always wanted. You don't have to think about her. I'll always be here for you," she said and flashed me a flirtatious smile. I nodded my head."I can't just help it," I muttered with a sigh.Though I didn't lo
AlessiaI stood up from the cold and grassy floor of the forest with tears in the corner of my eyes.How could he do this to me? I asked myself with a sad look on my face. I lay on the floor, staring at the bright moon in the sky.Why did my life have to be this miserable? I cursed myself, trying to force back the tears that kept rolling from my eyes.'I can live without them.' I muttered to myself as I tried to stop thinking about his announcement, which broke my heart into pieces.I was sad that this had to happen. I was happy earlier that I was going to become his Luna official until he neglected me and chose my twin sister, Amelia.Why do I have to pass through this heartbreak, moon goddess? I muttered with a sigh as I stared at the bright moon in the sky.I wondered why I didn't listen to my father. He warned me severally to stay away from Xavier before he died, but the fake love he showered on me blinded me. I trusted Xavier so much that I had to disagree with my father for the f
Asher "Alpha we've something important to tell you," I raised an eyebrow, looked up, and gazed at the elders who were seated in their respective chairs. "What is it?"I asked, feeling a little bit impatient as I stroked my hand on my chin. "You know, we've been talking about this same issue and we'll continue to talk about it until you do something about it," the first elder paused and turned to me. "May I know what it is, elder Raphael? I've other pending work to do in my office," I said impatiently, uninterested in whatever they had to say. I placed my hand under my clenched jaw as I turned my cold gaze at him. He gulped down into nothing and cleared his throat. "It's about your mate. The Luna of the pack, " I bit my bottom lips and stopped myself from groaning so I wouldn't show how frustrated I was. "Do you have to bring up this issue?" I asked with a raised eyebrow as I stroked my chin gently. "Yes we have to, Alpha," "A king, ruler, or Alpha leading a group of peo
Alessia"Leave my mate alone. Now!" What! Mate? A soft gasp escaped from my lips as I heard a cold and authoritative voice echo from the other side. I gulped down into nothing as a young handsome man came into view. He has a huge and bulky body. He has a good physique, curly hair, pink lips, and a pointed nose. A snake tattoo on his shoulder. He looks so handsome and hot. Handsome is an understatement. He looks like a hot demi-god. He has these domineering auras that radiate around him which is hard to resist. "Who are you?" One of the guards demanded as he walked closer to them with a cold look on his face. "My identity doesn't matter to you. You'd better leave my mate this instance if you love yourself," he said authoritatively, and I looked at him with a surprised look. Mate! Did I just hear him right? I thought I was hearing things earlier when he called me mate until he repeated it. Though I felt the connection and mate bond when I saw him, I felt it was a fake feeling be
AsherI smiled gently as I watched her eat the meal that the maid has prepared for her. She looks happy and excited the same way. I stared at her face for a while unable to take my gaze from her beautiful face. Her blue eyes keep making my gaze glue on her face. She cleared her throat as she caught me staring at her. I blinked my eyes and looked away. How could she be so beautiful and innocent at the same time? It wasn't my fault that I couldn't take my gaze away from her eyes. "What's your name?" I asked after she drank from the wine and cleaned her lips with a napkin. She turned to me and said. "My name is Alessia," she said, and I looked up with an arched eyebrow. Alessia? I don't know why but that name sounds so strange and familiar like I'd heard it from somewhere but I couldn't tell where I heard it from. I haven't seen her before. This was my first time seeing her. I hope she isn't the one that I…I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as her soft and angelic voice r
AsherWhat!Like I'd expected, they gasped out in shock with their eyes widened in awe. Their expression was filled with shock and disappointment. I stroked my chin and stared at them with a smirk on my lips. The first elder, Elder Elliot, cleared his throat and asked after regaining his composure. "Are you for real? Or you are just trying to buy time for yourself to look for your mate, Alpha?" I took a sharp glance at him and scoffed. Though I feel offended by his question, I choose not to make it obvious. "There's no need of buying more time because I have found my mate and there's nothing no one can do about it," I said. They were shocked and taken aback by my announcement. Who could have believed I could have found my mate before the so-called ultimatum they gave to me? "Where is she? And why haven't we heard any news of her arrival in the pack?" One of them asked, and they nodded their heads in agreement. "She's at one of my houses outside the pack so she is safe. I haven't
