Sofero..I watched as Arya narrated her ordeal to me; her voice echoed down the room. It was full of pain. I was quiet; just her voice and the cranky noise from the cricket were all I heard.I felt pity for her as she went on; at some point she had to stop and allow the tears to pour down. I couldn't believe she passed through all that; it hurts me more that I was going to add more to her pain.When she mentioned her pack, my eyes widened in surprise. Memories keep flooding my head—painful memories I wanted to keep hidden. I heard all her stories with rapt attention. At some point, her voice cracked, and she sniffed. She told me all and ended it with these words."Here I am, Sofera. I'm still wondering what will become of my fate here. I just wanted a father figure for my pup," she said, rubbing her stomach, which was getting bigger and bigger with each passing day.Then I began to wonder why Alpha Jasper visited the Ember Moon. Ember Moon and Silver Crescent were core enemies.How
Sofera…Even after having those memorable times with Arya, I still found my legs walking towards Selena's chambers.With anxiety growing with each step I took, I kept wondering whether I was doing the right thing or not. I just can't let my mother die; she was just all I got. Giving off the information I got from Arya was a chance to save my own blood, and I couldn't let it down.As I approached, I couldn't stop the uneasiness that ran through my spine. The feeling of guilt churned deep into my stomach. I couldn't stop feeling that way. I slowly knocked on the door; I wasn't forced this time; I came of my own free will without being summoned. I wanted to let go of this bondage that seems to consume me—the bondage between Selena and me. This was the last of it; either way, I just have to leave to get my peace back. I was done running her dirty errands. The plan I made with my mother the last time I visited her at the dungeon.My heart shattered into pieces when I saw her brutal face
Alpha Damian.."Alpha," a guard who rushed in called; he was breathing heavily with his head bowed to the ground. He was sweating like he was being chased by something behind him."Ezra," I called. I could recognize him; he was the guard assigned to guard my mother's chambers.I stood to my feet, sensing the sense of urgency in his voice."What is it?" I questioned "Luna Isabella slumped," my brows etched in confusion. What does he mean by slumped? She was the one I left earlier this morning."Where is she?" I demanded, dismissing all thoughts that ran through my head. I needed to be sure she was okay first."In her room." I rushed off, leaving the guard behind in the direction of her room. What could have gone wrong? She was well this morning. Sweat dripped down the back of my head at the worst scenario that could happen.When I got to her chambers, she was lying on the bed, and she looked like she was just having a nap. Peaceful."Mother," I called, but there was no response."Mot
"I made your favorite Alpha," Selena giggled while presenting the meal she made earlier. She took a plate and began dishing it out."Huh! What happened to the maids?" Jasper wondered why she should do that; she hadn't done that before."I just wanted to give you something different from the usual," Selena said, clapping her hands together without making any sound. Her excitement was evident in her face, with a smile that reached her eyes.I haven't seen her so excited to this extent, and I can't stop the feeling that she wants something from me. I don't know what to do then; I just have to find out after this meal. Jasper thought to himself.The aroma of the fisherman's soup filled the air, watering the mouth of Jasper, eager to have a taste of what his dear Luna had made for him.I hope it won't be my death after this meal, he thought again. His mind was contemplating whether to trust Selena or not."Ummh," Jasper nodded his head in approval of the recipe."Delicious," he complimente
Arya….I watched as the door flung open. The heavy impact shook me, and I wondered who that could be. I furrowed my eyebrows at the door and watched as Alpha Jasper and some soldiers behind him walked in.I made a mental evaluation; the last time he was here with me, we didn't have any arguments.Why was he here with soldiers? Did anything go wrong? I thought to myself. I rose to my feet, taking my legs away from Sofera, who was giving me a massage."My Lord," my voice cracked up. Why was I scared? I did nothing wrong. Then I saw her; she had a smile on her face, like a victorious smile. I wouldn't resist my heart jumping into my stomach.How could someone be so good at her games?I wonder what she had fed Alpha Jasper, who didn't spare me a glance."Seize her," Alpha Jasper ordered with bloodshot eyes and anger evidence in his voice without sparing me a glance. I looked with the utmost confusion and shock. What is going on? And why am I being seized?"What did I do wrong?" I asked,
Alice….. I and Vivian became even closer than when we were younger. She was a good friend I had to fall back on whenever I felt like speaking to someone, and she was open-minded enough to guide me and advise me. I walked into our usual spot, and we met up with a sour face. The recent development of my mother-in-law was eating me up. Immediately she saw me, and she stood up to her feet, her expression full of pity. "Selena, what is wrong? Why the sour face?" I sat down on the chair and inhaled deeply before speaking. Alpha Damian has warned to keep the previous Luna condition a secret until the solution is found. He didn't want other pack members to panic. "Vivian, I'm in deep shit, really deep shit." She took her hands into mine, giving me some comfort."What is the problem? Did the plan work out?" He eagerly asked with a raised eyebrow, her voice full of self-pity. "My mother-in-law is sick," I slowly said, my voice barely a whisper."What do you mean by sick? Werewolves hardly f
Arya…..It's been days since I have been here; I was back to the life I once lived. I was beginning to wonder why suffering was attached to my name; it followed me like flies wherever I went. My stomach grumbled, and I felt my baby kick. It has been like this lately, like he knew the situation of my condition. With each passing day, I felt a deep connection with him. I spoke to him like he was standing right in front of me."I know it was hard for your father; it was just like he was standing between the devil and the deep blue sea. But I know he's not a bad person." I spoke to my pup, rubbing my stomach in circles while memories of me and Jasper flooded my head.I had good memories here, unlike my previous pack, which was filled with bad memories and nightmares. No matter what my fate might be, I have experienced a glimpse of love, and I want more. "Hey baby, don't take it out on him for punishing mama. He did what he did as an Alpha. Don't blame him for that." I rubbed my stomach
Damian….My jaw dropped when Alice mentioned witches."Alice, why would you think of that?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.She looked at me with a confused expression and regret."I just wanted to help; we can't allow her to die and just do nothing," she said with her head bent."Witches are banished from this pack by my father; anyone seen practicing such will be beheaded. And you expect me to do this?" I reminded her of one of the laws that govern Ember moon packs."You are the Alpha, and you can bend and mend the law. You can't just allow your mother to die," she pressed on with confidence.I breathed a sigh of relief. She had a point. I nearly killed Doctor Dart because he couldn't get a cure for my mother. I still felt bad and worse about that."Alice," I called with a firm voice. Even though I will be doing this, it has to be in secret. "I don't want this to leave this place; we will go to the witches by nightfall in disguise." She nodded before looking at me one more time,
