Thud! I jerked awake at the heavy sound and the moment I flipped open my eyes, I was met with a darkness so thick, even my werewolf vision wasn’t enough to cut through and offer me a black and white version of whatever was in front of me. But that wasn’t what bothered me the most. It was the sound of the heavy footfalls coming in the direction of my room. I reached out to pat the space beside me, to try to wake Greyson up so he could check up on whatever it was that was coming in our direction with such heavy footsteps. The space in front of me was not only empty but it was also cold. Evidence that my mate had been out of the bed for a while now. My vision began to clear up little by little and I could pick up certain things in the room now. I heard the footsteps stop in front of the room door and for some reason, I held my breath, anticipating whoever or whatever was behind the door. The door was suddenly pushed open with such force, I feared that it might be ripped off its hin
Mystery Person POV: I hummed a broken tune as I made my way through the woods. This was my favorite part, walking alone in the most dangerous place at ungodly hours of the night. Having power of any sorts came with some sort of invisibility that others couldn’t comprehend. I felt on top of the world. No one could see me if I didn’t want them to, or talk to me, or touch me. It was lonely here for sure, especially since the form I had decided to take was one that wasn’t very appreciated within this particular community but I would be damned if I let it deter me. I was this close to my goal, very very close and then it would be all worth it. Every pain, every suffering, the patience, the fails, every tears, frustration, every single thing that I went through to begin this process and see it through till this time would be worth it. There was a time where I had been uncertain about how long it would take to finally bring my plans to fruition, there was a time where it didn’t look lik
There was nothing I wanted more in this moment than to bury myself somewhere and never show my face again. The entire house was buzzing with energy but for some reason I just couldn’t bring myself to indulge the energy. I couldn’t bring myself to walk around and participate in the ongoing preparations. In a matter of hours the Luna ceremony will begin and that would ultimately be the start of a new life for me. I heard footsteps come down the hallway and in the direction of the room. I was already very used to these footfalls and I knew they belonged to Greyson. I buried my head deeper into the sheets, rolling myself into a ball and trying to fold in on myself as much as I could without hurting my babies. The door was pushed open and Greyson stepped into the room. I heard as he made his way to the bed and when it dipped signaling that he was now sat beside me, I held my breath and just waited for him to say anything. “Are you okay?” He finally said after a long silence. I remain
“Ouch Christie, can you try to not pull my brain out with that brush.” I hissed in annoyance. Shutting my eyes as the pain from the pull settled down. I couldn’t even concentrate properly on the dressing up that was happening in the moment, my mind was occupied with other things and a painful pull that would bring me back to the reality was the last thing that I needed. “Geez Freya, grumpy much? I’m sorry, but it’s really not my fault and I’m trying my best to be gentle. Why is your hair so tangled by the way, haven’t you been brushing it?” Christie responded, brushing my hair slower and gentler this time. “All I want to do right now is sleep to be honest. There’s still this feeling in my stomach like something is going to go wrong tonight and I just think if I lay in bed through out then I might be able to avoid it all.” I said on a sigh, rubbing my fingers against my temples, trying to chase away the headache that had begun to form there.“You can’t say that Freya. I’m already so
This is it! One of my deepest fears coming to life.The people do not want me, no one would ever a lowly, ordinary omega to assume the position of Luna and trust them with their life, safety and their riches. I just knew it. Tears stung at my eyes but I refused to let it fall. This was bound to happen, I always knew it would. I knew this night was bound for failure, I knew it was never going to work out like the fairytale I’ve had in my head since I was six. I had thought that Zoe would try to ruin the night, or would even succeed. I never thought that the night would be ruined even without any attempt on her part. I took my hands away from Greyson and made to leave when the crowd erupted in cheer and shouts, some even whistled and howled. The sudden noise shocked me that I lost my footing for a minute, thankfully Greyson was standing behind me like a rock.“This is something I want, it means it is what the people want too. You should never have doubted those words when I said th
Greyson’s POV:I searched around in the crowd for Simon because I could see how Freya was starting to get unsettled from the absence of the boy. It looked like he was nowhere around and I was just about to move from my seat to properly search for him when a familiar mop of raven hair caught my attention. Emilia. And cuddled up in her arms was Simon. The two didn’t look like they were having any conversation. They just looked to be enjoying each others company. It was such a beautiful sight and I just stared at them for a full minute. The paranoia eased a little from my mind knowing the boy was safe. The last thing I wanted was for the tiniest thing to go wrong, I wanted this to go as easily and as smoothly as possible for all of us. It was the least we deserved.I take a sweep of the crowd once more with my heart pounding heavily in my chest, almost as if it knew that something was about to go wrong. There was nothing out of place. Everyone seemed to be in high, merry spirits and i
Honestly wish I could tell what had disturbed my sleep and woken me up prematurely but in the next five minutes after waking up, I still couldn’t figure it out and when I flipped my eyes open to find the room bright and all the lights still turned on, I squinted in confusion. There was something off this morning. I looked to the bedside clock on the nightstand opposite me and when the blinking red numbers flashed 5:13am, I gasped in surprise. I was never awake this early, but most importantly, Greyson was never awake this early too and from the feeling of the sheets in his side of the bed, I could tell that he had not even slept in bed with me at all the previous night. It was so shocking to me, I felt dazed, confused and pain from my bladder truly reminded me of why I had awoken in the first place. I needed to pee. I moved out of the bed, supporting my big and rounded stomach as I waddle towards the toilet. I let out a sigh of relief as my full bladder slowly emptied but my init
“I’m just saying that I think it might be rude if we invite certain Alphas and don’t invite certain. There could be a mini war for that in fact. It is after all the feast of Alphas, so all Alphas should be invited.” Smith said and I blinked at the end of his words. At this point, even screaming wouldn’t be enough to convey my frustrations and anger. I had woken up restless and tired and it felt like as the day went on, the more tired and restless I became.I couldn’t focus on anything. Not my work, or trying to make sense of what had happened the previous night, not even the meeting with Smith seemed to be able to get me to concentrate. “I’ve been trying to convince myself that somehow you’re listening to me but at this point I don’t think I can continue to do that successfully. It’s obvious you’re not listening to me and that your mind is filled with something else.” Smith said with a frustrated sigh in his words. I rubbed my temples, hoping to chase away the throb that had began
