Alexa
I didn’t understand why they had been so scared. My body burned as if set aflame. Pain spread through every part of me, even to the roots of my hair.
It had felt like every strand of my hair had been pulled out. My ears rang, and an excruciating pain had torn through my chest.
My breath came in heavy pants as I watched my hands grow huge, covered in thick black fur. Sharp claws bursted out, ripping through my fingertips. I howled in agony.
My vision spun, bright and chaotic, making me dizzy. I needed to stop the pain. Someone, help me!
I roared, my massive hands swinging around, seeking help. Instead of warm hands reaching out, people ran, screaming to get away.
“Help!” Lorraine shrieked, collapsing to the ground. She stared at me, terrified, unable to stand. “No! Don’t come near me, monster!” Lorraine trembled in fear. The shock on her face was priceless.
AlexaI couldn’t believe that after so many years, I could finally learn magic again with Mrs. Geeny. All this time, Mrs. Gertrude had restricted the use of magic with baseless accusations. Now, without that woman, I was free to do whatever I wanted.My house was now squeaky clean with a younger maid hired to help Brenda. The fields and livestock were being taken care of by enthusiastic young caretakers. My relationship with Harlow was going well. Everything run as I hoped for.This time, I took the step I should have taken years ago. I sat across from Mrs. Geeny in the backyard of her cabin. An old spell book lay open on the mat, displaying various rituals that Mrs. Geeny had yet to teach me.“Do you still remember the basics of using ritual magic?” she asked.“Please explain it once more. I don’t want to be too arrogant. Besides, it’s been a long time since I studied this.” I clasped my hands in front of my chest.“Alright. Remember this well, Alexa. Magic is the technique of manipu
Alastair“Hello, Lorraine,” I greeted the woman.Her mouth opened, and she blinked. So adorable. Like a child being fed candy, her eyes immediately lit up to welcome me.“Oh, Alpha Alastair! I’m so happy to see you here. Is that for me?” Her eyes glanced at the bouquet of flowers I was holding.“Of course. For you.” I handed her the small gift filled with the fragrance of various flowers.“Thank you, Alpha Alastair. I really love this.” The woman threw herself into my embrace, wrapping her arms around my neck.Without many words, I wrapped my arms around her waist. The poor woman gave me what I had been waiting for. A passionate kiss landed on my lips. Sucking and nibbling, our tongues tangled in a fleeting illusion of desire.She moaned between our heated kisses. As we became more consumed by uncontrollable passion, I guided her inside the house. The door closed behind my back as my hands explored her body. I knew no one would disturb us, with the guards waiting outside the door.“Ar
GabrielMy legs moved uncontrollably. The sound of my jittering feet echoed like my grandmother’s sewing machine, constant and fast. Time and time again, I had to unclench my fists to relax and think about what would happen in my future.A year in prison? No longer being an alpha? Even Alexa had left me. Nothing remained except that treacherous bitch. How could she still cling to me like a weed latching onto the tree?Someone knocked on my door. I wasn’t expecting any guests, so the sound of my servant’s voice instantly ignited my anger. I snapped at the old servant. But when I saw the man who barged into my room, I shut my damn mouth.“Come on, you’re too harsh on him.” I snorted at Alpha Alastair’s comment.“What do you want? Didn’t you say you wanted to take a walk?” I asked.“That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’ve been around the Silver Moon territory. I must say, I see a lot of potential here.” Alastair smirked, and I hated seeing his smile.“Yeah, if you’re done, now get out.” I sn
AlexaHarlow’s eyes burned every inch of my skin. It was crazy because I should be wet with cold. Contrary to outward appearances, I was instead agitated by the heat that ignited the fire inside me.His hand grabbed my hand that was covering my chest. He pulled me with a gentle tug close to his body. Like invisible magic, I obeyed with small steps until I was now in his arms.“Is this real?” he asked as his thumb brushed my cheek.The scent of his body enveloped the surrounding air. Mint and pine, a scent I’d never forget. Mythril had now turned into a fiery energy that coursed through my veins with great anticipation.“What’s real?” I asked as I raised my head to him.“You. Us. Here, together with no barriers anymore. Free. It’s too good to be true.” Harlow frowned.There was a gleam of fear in his dark eyes. The sudden heavy rain in spring made me worry too. It was as if we could be separated again at any time. Somehow, I felt that there was something dark still stalking us. But I c
AlexaIt took two days for Lorraine and Mrs. Gertrude to move. They left the Dawson family home and returned to the Oswald family home on the outskirts of the village. To avoid unwanted drama, the guards escorted them during their return.There was actually a slight sense of pity for them. In the past, when they acted arrogantly towards me, I hated them so much. But seeing them in such a miserable state now, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.‘Ugh, can’t you make up your mind?’ Mythril sounded displeased with the pity settling on my chest.‘I can’t help it. They look miserable. They said Mrs. Gertrude cried endlessly.’ I thought while gazing at the tip of the Dawson family home’s roof from my bedroom window in Gabriel’s house.‘At least they weren’t executed,’ Mythril snorted.On the third day, Mr. Pascoe and Harlow came to pick me up. I descended to the ground floor in an emerald green dress and a small bag of clothes. Gabriel was already waiting for me downstairs.“Are you rea
Alexa“I, Alexa Dawson, from Silver Moon Pack, rejected you, Gabriel Scott. I hoped you found solace and peace upon you from Moon Goddess.” My hand squeezed Gabriel’s, which felt damp with sweat.As soon as I finished saying that, my heart pounded. As if my heart was about to burst out of my ribcage. My emotions were the same as when I jumped off a cliff. My chest burned like fire, spreading lava throughout my veins.Gabriel groaned like me. One of my hands clutched at my chest, while my fist pressed against it, hoping to lessen the pain.The veins on his neck and temples bulged. I didn’t know this could be physically dangerous for us. The pain made it difficult to breathe, as if I were drowning in a bottomless ocean.Tears streamed down my cheeks even though I tried to hold them back. Even Gabriel showed the same symptoms. We cried and howled. Zeev echoed a wave of pain that was met with the same energy from Mythril.Our two energies then displayed a silvery light so thin it was almo
AlexaI sat beside Gabriel’s bed, lost in thought. The blonde man still had his eyelids closed, his breathing steady. Two days had passed since that cursed wedding day, yet he had not regained consciousness. The wound from Harlow’s attack had a severe impact on him.It was understandable, since Harlow had torn through a vital point in his neck. If Mrs. Geeny had been late to help with the regenerative ritual, Gabriel might have died. Fortunately, he survived enough to go to the hospital.I gazed out the window into the dark night. The night had grown late, and the time showed exactly eight in the evening. I had been here for thirty minutes, observing his unchanged condition. Regardless, my bond with him compelled me to ensure his safety, even if I was slightly reluctant.While Gabriel and Harlow’s case was being discussed, Mr. Pascoe took over as acting Alpha. Until the matter of succession settled and punishment decided, nothing was certain. Even my house had to wait for the elders’
Romero“Alpha Romero, with all due respect, why were you so sure that all this was not a fabrication by two female witches?” asked Mr. Darius, still with his false bow.I reconsidered everything they had shown me during my time here. This Silver Moon Pack could be an unfriendly environment, especially for the Omegas. These elders—I didn’t know what authority they had. But judging by their behavior, they were merely old people who interfered too much in the governance.My eyelids closed as I recalled all the memories of that wolf-head necklace. A precious heirloom from my father, now completely gone after revealing the memories it saw in silence. The necklace, passed down from my grandfather to my father, was given to a woman named Diana instead of my mother.The story of a true mate who ran away from my father, driving him mad. It turned out that the woman was the sister of the elder in the Silver Moon Pack.Was that why the Moon Goddess had destined me to meet Alexa? This was a golde
AlexaI was still watching the two young girls. Invisible, I saw everything that happened about the necklace. Everything related to the wolf-head pendant and Harlow unfolded one by one.“I know, I know. This is too much to ask, I know, but I don’t have a choice. I’m dying, Trudy.” Diana’s hands gripped Gertrude’s arms. “I don’t have time.” Diana’s tears fell, and she struggled to form words.“They banished me. My parents, they didn’t want anything from me or my son. They said I was a disgrace to them.” She sobbed.“Oh no, Diana. Maybe it was only temporary. They are respected nobles in the pack, and I had worked as their servant for five years. Not once did they ever hit me,” Gertrude tried to reassure her. “Besides, you are their blood relative. There’s no way they can abandon their child and grandchild.”“No, Trudy. This was real. They wouldn’t listen to me.” Diana lowered her tear-streaked face.“I need to save this child. I would do anything for him, but I’m dying, Trudy. Please,
