The Rise Of The White Luna

My eyelids slowly fluttered open, and I blinked rapidly, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. Sitting up abruptly, I looked around the familiar room, my fingertips pressed against my temples as I tried to recall the fading details of the dream I had the night before. But no matter how hard I tried, nothing came to mind.With a heavy sigh, I slid out of my bed and walked to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and turned to the mirror as I waited for the water to heat up. My heavy eyes studied my reflection. My plain nightgown clung to my wet skin and my brown hair was all over the place. I looked normal, nothing remarkable. Sighing for the upteen time, I turned to the running shower and placed my hand under it. "Perfect," I croaked under my breath. I slid my night gown over my body and slowly stepped into the bathtub, wincing as the hot water immediately began cascading down my skin, washing away the lingering haze of sleep. After I was done, I stepped out of the shower, wrap

"ARGH!" My father scream out in pain. I stood by the gates of the dungeon, watching my bloodied father yell out in agony. He laid flat on a wooden-like board while two guards stood opposite each other, hitting him with the large rods in their hands. Maria sat in front of it all with a wide smile on her face. The entire thing seemed to... satisfy her. If the guards weren't using silver and wolfsbane, I wouldn't have any problems, but this way, my father was too vulnerable. When the rods landed on his back, large gashes appeared. They would have healed up if it wasn't for the silver and wolfsbane which hindered his healing factor. The heavy rods were brought down with full force across my father's shoulders, back, and legs, again and again.At first, the heavy thongs cut through his skin only. But then, as the blows continued, they cut deeper, breaking bones and tearing muscles. I thought I could watch, and as the pack beta, he could manage, but no, my father was dying, and no one fu

Axel’s POV.“Alpha, I think we should attack tomorrow when all their alpha's are together and finish them off,” Jace, my beta suggested as he walked into the room.I leaned back in my chair, contemplating his words. It was a sound plan, yet something felt off. A strange unease settled in my chest.“No, I feel uneasy," I finally said as I sat upright. "I need some air. We'd check out how to get into the pack house later.” I stood up from the seat with a small grunt and walked out the door, Jace following closely behind me.The night was dark and eerily quiet in the territory of the Moon launch Pack. As the fierce and dominant Lycan alpha, I moved through the dense forest with precision and keen eyes, my guards walking by me. Jace flanked behind, scanning the forest for any sudden movements."Alpha, everything seems calm tonight," one of the guards reported, his voice breaking the silence of the night.I scanned the area with my wolf vision before nodding in acknowledgment. "Stay vigilan

Exalia's POV"Hurry, get to the gates now!""Secure the Alpha!" I watched as all the guards rushed in all directions, their voices sharp with urgency. My heart pounded hard against my chest as I tried to grasp what was happening."The rogues are attacking the clinic!" a nurse shouted as she sprinted past the prison, her voice filled with panick. "Move!" Rogues? An attack? I clenched my stomach as I felt it twist into knots. My father!Without a second thought, I turned and followed the guards, my steps quick and unsteady. Every moment that dragged by did so with unbearable dread as different thoughts raced through my mind. 'Please, let it not be as bad as I think.'"Where is my father?" I called out to a passing guard. The guard didn't even give me listening ear. Instead, he scoffed and kept walking, dismissing me like I didn’t even exist."Where’s my family?" I asked as I felt my frustration tighten in my chest. "Where is my father?" I turned again to another guard who stood at t

Axel's POVThe soft buzzing of cicadas and the quiet whisper of leaves filled the air, feeling me with a sense of peace. My eyelids fell closed as I breathed in the sweet scent of serenity.But that feeling was short-lived as reality slowly broke through. My fists clenched, tension creeping within me as different emotions stirred within my heart.Exalia's face flashed before my thoughts, and a mixture of different emotion plagued me. I furrowed my brows.My connection with Exalia was nothing short of divine. I knew a mating bond was a clean one and sacred, one that could not be broken. But this bond felt like chains, holding me in ways I could not have predicted.My past sins seemed to torment my thoughts-memories I knew could sever the tie between me and Exalia or in the least make it unbreakable.A sudden memory flashed in my thoughts, and I stiffened.I had been in a foul mood that day, mourning the loss of one of my best fighters. Trying to vent my sorrow and anger, I had shifted a
