Chapter 81: Trials of a Mother
(Alexandra)
SUZANNA had turned pale after touching my womb. She stood and took her bag as if she was in a hurry. The last time I saw her was during the wedding. And I had been missing her home-cooked meals that’s why I was surprised and happy at the same time when she came to visit and brought me my favorite dishes including pork steak, beef patties, leche flan and graham: the two best desserts she had made.
After she watched me eat with gusto, we sat at the living room and chatted about a lot of things which ended up about my baby. But when I let her touched my belly, she recoiled and her hand started shaking uncontrollably.
“I will visit you another time. I’m sorry, Alexandra. I have to go now-“
“No, stay, Suzanna,” I said as I held her arm. Her body had become cold. And she was sweating as if she had seen something that terrified her so much. “What’s the matter? Did you have another vision? It’s abo

The Luna's Prey Chapter 82: The Day You Said Goodbye
“NOW that we’ve finally located them, we decided to strike first while they are still gathering and preparing their troops. This is the best time to attack. Our best warriors along with Luther and his team will be the ones to deal with the Vampires. I will also join them. But don’t worry, we will leave some warriors here to watch over you. Your mother also promised to look after you. What do you think of the plan, Xandra?” Dad asked during the meeting.All eyes were suddenly on me.Luther had improved so much and had even beaten the rest of the Alphas during his last training. And that included Dad. As a crimson wolf, I understood perfectly that he was required to go. But for some reason, I wanted to stop him. This must be the hormones. It was making me emotional.Just as we predicted, the Vampires were still in the country. Luther’s team had tracked them down and found them in Baras, Rizal. What was I worried about? The wolves were stronger now. And there were several packs who will
The Luna's Prey Chapter 83: Only Hope
“HANG in there, Alexandra. We can almost see the head. Just push a little more, all right? You can do this. I’m here. I’ll hold your hand.”Tears rolled down my cheeks as I held onto my mother’s hand. Her free hand wiped the cold sweat off my face. It was like all my veins were about to pop out. It hurt so much. This was a lot more painful compared to when I shifted the first time. I could feel the pain scattering all over my body. It kept breaking me again and again. It would have been fine if I was the old Alexandra. I could still endure it. But the ‘me’ now no longer had enough strength to spare.Less than an hour after the Warriors left, my stomach began to hurt so much. My water bag broke and I started having contractions. Clay carried me back to my room while Beatrix rushed to summon Doctor Celeste, the pack doctor. Her husband, Doctor Brent, had also joined the war.I closed my eyes when I inhaled Luther’s scent from the pillow. How I wished he was here with me today to hold my
The Luna's Prey Chapter 84: The Broken Promise
(Beatrix)I QUICKLY shifted back to my human form when I saw Kenji approaching the house where Alexandra and the baby were in. I desperately blocked his path.This time, he didn’t try to mask his scent, the color of his eyes, or the fury in his face. I could see it all now. My heart sank when I glanced at his sword and saw that blood was still dripping from it. He had slashed and killed as many wolves as he could. These hybrids had the strength and speed of wolves and also the power of vampires. With Alexandra’s condition, there was no way we could win against them.Kenji winced when he saw the wound on my shoulder. I was right. It wasn’t all a lie. He truly did love me.“Get out of my way, Beatrix. I don’t want to hurt you,” he warned.“I love you,” I whispered instead.“You only loved the Kenji who was nice to you, who was a fool for you-““If you know my heart so well, then could you at least tell me why my heart is still racing right now at the mere sight of you despite the sadnes
The Luna's Prey Chapter 85: The Lost Mark
I WAS about to keep searching when I suddenly heard Dad’s howl echoed in the woods. I felt his grief in his every howl. I caught him standing a few meters away from me, there were ashes in his hands. I was paralyzed by the sight of it. I would have wanted to come to him had I not felt a searing sensation just below my left ear where my mark was.“What’s this? What’s happening?” I asked, aware that I was becoming hysterical with each second that passes.Before, despite Alexandra’s condition, I could still feel her wolf. I could still see it each time I would close my eyes but today, I couldn’t sense it. I couldn’t see it. And I couldn’t feel our bond.I felt Giovanni’s tears falling onto my shoulder when he came to give me a tight embrace. “You’ve lost your mark, Luther. The same thing is also happening to Alpha Calypso right now.”“What are you talking about? Why the fuck would I lose my mark?”His voice cracked when he spoke. “Losing a mark indicates… that your mate has died.”Just l
The Luna's Prey Chapter 86: Iris
‘DARLING, come here quickly. You know what? I’d been busy the whole day researching what to name our daughter. I wrote a few of them to show you. They all have beautiful meanings. I even got some of them from the bible.’ And then Alexandra gave me her notepad. “If you have a suggestion, we could also add it on the list. So, what do you think?”She looked so excited. Her eyes were even twinkling. I instinctively held her cheek. “I think you are very beautiful. I see you every day but it’s still hard to get used to seeing this perfection.” I brushed my nose against her. “I must have saved the world in my past life to be able to have someone like you in this life.”She giggled. ‘Thank you, darling. That was too much of a compliment but I was not asking feedback about my face. Come on. Don’t just look at me. Look at the paper, too.”Right. The paper. I almost forgot about it. When I took a quick look, I noticed that she listed about ten names on it along with their meanings. She put a hea
The Luna's Prey Chapter 87: When The King Falls In Love
(Valerian)I GLANCED at the castle one last time. It was where I stayed for the last couple of years. It had all the luxury and comfort any person would need but I wouldn’t call it ‘home’. Just a temporary shelter. Anywhere with Vampires in it would never be classified as ‘home’.It was the exact replica of the castle where I grew up in, a proof that Kenneth had succeeded in restoring the Vampires’ glory. There were Knights anywhere I look at. The new King doesn’t need me anymore. My time here was over.I turned around. I was already at the gate when the King arrived. It looked like he hurried over here. He was still catching his breath when he stood in front of me.“So, it was true. You really are leaving tonight, Theo,” he said, looking more wounded than ever after seeing my luggage.Kenneth was among the very few Vampires who still call me by my second name.“Yes.”“Without saying goodbye?”“That was because I was not expecting to see you tonight. Besides, aren’t we too old to be a
The Luna's Prey Chapter 88: And Then You Came
Maryland, USA“WHY did you stop the car? We’re still far from home,” I told Nick, my driver, after he suddenly stopped the car in the middle of nowhere. It was late at night and it was raining heavily outside.“My apologies, Sir. There is a woman lying in the middle of the road. I can’t tell whether she’s still alive or not. What should we do?”I sighed. The shallowness of some humans still amazes me until now. There were plenty of vampires and wolves who would do anything to live and yet, there were humans who would do anything to die.“Go, check on her. If she is dead, call the cops. If she is just trying to kill herself, tell her not to block the road. There is a cliff nearby. Tell her where it is. She could go kill herself there without disturbing everyone.”Nick nodded before he stepped out of the car. I decided to open another bottle of brandy. I had to drink a lot tonight or else, it would be impossible for me to sleep. On rainy nights like this, liquors were the best company.
The Luna's Prey Chapter 89: Your Name
“CAN you talk now? Can you tell me your name? If you give me your family’s contact details, my assistant would reach out to them. That way, they could pick you up as soon as possible. You were sick for days. I’m sure they are worried about you now,” I told the stranger when I saw her beginning to calm down.But it seemed to be a wrong move.“My name?” she whispered and held her head. “I don’t know. I don’t remember.” Her eyes widened as she started to become hysterical again. “Why can’t I remember anything? What is wrong with me?”I held her hands when she started pulling her hair. “It’s okay. Don’t hurt yourself. You don’t have to force yourself to remember. I’m here. I will help you.”Her eyes looked very frightened. And I could understand why. Waking up one morning with no sense of identity was indeed very frightening.Her voice cracked when she asked, “You will?”I nodded. “I promise.”That promise had turned my whole world around. I ruined the plans I made and messed the rules I
