“You are weak, you are useless. Nobody will look at you, your mate will be ashamed of you, your wolf-less brat, and he will reject you….” I woke up again with pain in my chest and tears in my eyes. I wished all those things said in my dream were just plain nightmares, but unfortunately, those were also my reality.
My name is Stella Hope, the one daughter my parents like to keep hidden to not bring so much shame to the family. As my last name says, they hoped I was someone else’s problem or burden. I never considered myself someone not worthy or different. It was exactly the opposite of that dreadful day that marked my 18th birthday.
** Flashback.**
“Mom, I am so excited. I can't wait to get my wolf! I know she will be cool and popular like me." I said excitedly, and my mom smiled at my antics. I took a piece of bread, kissed her goodbye, and exited my home, heading towards school.
On my way to school, I met my friends Rose and Pete. “Hey, girl! Happy Birthday!” Both yelled while Rose handed me a little box. “Aw, thank you, Baby!” I took the box and hugged her. “Well open it.” Pete urged me, and I did as he said.

My mouth fell open when I saw a beautiful charm bracelet. It had a little heart engraved with an RSP on one side and the other BFFs, a charm of a little wolf, and another charm with a moon and colored stars. It was breathtaking. “Well, guys, thank you. It is gorgeous.” “Here, let me help you,” Rose said, pulling the bracelet out of the box and placing it around my wrist.
We made our way to school, and I was greeted and celebrated by many. I tended to be very popular among my classmates. I effortlessly had good grades, I excelled in every subject and was always willing to help. I loved sports. I have participated in several teams, like soccer, track, and softball. Life was good.
As soon as school was over, I went home to prepare dinner. Today was going to be a huge day. I will be getting my wolf, my strength will be enhanced, and I will be able to find my mate. As soon as that thought settled in, I started to get nervous. What if my mate doesn't like me? What if he rejects me? Will shifting be that hurtful or will it come naturally to me? What would my wolf look like? I have so many questions that will be answered tonight under the full moon.
I decided to get ready early, and I was pacing around my room. I am the second daughter of the Silvercrown Pack's Beta. My father, Beta Sebastian, was well-known in the realm because he was an awesome politician and a ruthless warrior. His strategies for warfare placed our pack only behind the Royal Pack. My mom was his fated mate. She was as beautiful as a woman could be, and she passed all her beauty and grace upon my older sister and me.
I hope to make my family proud. I know I am doing it right now, but now that I will be reaching wolf adulthood, I hope to show the same skill, wits, and power that I know I inherited from my father. I can feel my wolf, I know she is there pacing the same way I am doing it. I was deep in thought when a knock on my door broke my pacing.
“Stella? Can I come in?” Paige, my older sister, said. “Yes, come in,” I said. She is 20 years old now and is doing some college courses away from home. She just came here for my shift, and I am thankful for it. They say that having your family or mate close by eases the pain of the transformation.
“Hey, How are you feeling?” Paige softly asked. I was surprised that she reached out to me because we had never been close. We couldn't be more different. Like water and oil, her concern for me only showed me that deep down she cared for me the way I cared about her.
“Nervous is an understatement,” I said and she laughed. “You will be fine. I remember my first shift as well. I was a crying mess, you know how painful it could be.” She said, and my eyes widened, then she realized her mishap and covered her mouth. “Sorry.” She said and lowered her gaze. “No problem.” I said, then I continued “Thanks for being here.” “I wouldn't miss it for the world.” She said and gave me an awkward hug. I guess that would be as good as it gets.
She was about to leave when I stopped her. “Is it really painful?” I asked her about shifting, concern written all over my face. “Oh! Poor thing, it could be if you don't take anything to ease the pain.” She said, and I opened up my eyes, “Really? Can you take something?” I asked, and she nodded “Thankfully for you, I am your bigger sister, and I will always have your back.” She reached out from her pocket for a little vial with a silver liquid on it. “Drink it, it will help,” she said, and I nodded gulping down the sweet silver nectar. She patted my head and said, “Rest for a while, I will come and get you to go to the woods.”
I soon felt relaxed and took a nap. Soon she fetched me to go down. Mom and dad were waiting for me. Since my dad was part of the pack's leadership, our Alpha and Luna showed up at the clearing. His voice boomed “Stella Hope, the Full Moon shines on you, it is at its brightest point. It is time for you to reach out for your wolf and shift for the first time.” He commanded me to shift.
I closed my eyes and went inside my head, looking for my wolf. Earlier, I could sense her, but now it seemed like she had vanished. I tried harder but “Nothing.” I opened my eyes and shook my head, my mom looked at Dad with a worried expression, and my sister smiled at me, nodding at me as if asking me to try again, which I did. Nothing happened, I couldn't feel my wolf, and certainly, I could feel my energy and power being drained from my body. From that day forward, I was the weakling, the wolf-less daughter of a powerful Beta, the shame of my family, in a few words, the castaway.
** END OF FLASHBACK **
Today is my 21st birthday and for the first time in my household, they are preparing a party not on my behalf, but a party nevertheless. For the last three years, I have been keeping to myself. My dad has made sure that nobody messes with me more than necessary. Fortunately for me, my friends have remained the same, and a year ago Pete introduced me to a wonderful guy from his college. He is from another pack, so he is foreign to all the drama in my pack regarding my weakness.
Brad, my boyfriend, is sweet, and he comes and visits me during the weekends. He is good-looking, smart and funny. A plus on my side is that he doesn't believe in fated mates, and he is resolved to have a chosen mate. I hope that soon we can be together as chosen mates.
Romeo POVOur babies are three months old, and Stella has been doing wonderfully with motherhood. She is flourishing into her new roles, her role as Quen and her role as a brand-new mother.Ralph usually gives her more trouble than our sweet baby girl, Stormee. She is just like that, like a storm that takes time to brew, but when it hits you, it hits you fucking hard.I was lounging in my office going through some paperwork when Stella barged in. “Hey, Sweetie…” I lifted my eyebrows, and she sighed,She was silent, and I knew she wanted to discuss something important. “What is it?” I dropped the papers and realized she was biting her nails. This was not a good sign; it meant something was troubling her mind.“We need ground rules…” She blurted, and I squinted my eyebrows.“What?” I sighed. I had no context or background to that first comment.“Pay attention, Romeo!” she said, frustrated, and I closed my eyes, trying to see where this was going. Ralph is mated to King David's daughter,
Romeo POVIt has been five months since we crossed forces with the darkness. My idea of setting up a council with every ruler as the head of their species was well received. We created treaties and laws that united our realms, and with the help of the Sisters of the Willow, we made a portal system that allowed our people to move back and forth.Morgan was a celebrity in the Dragon Realm. His technology expertise paid off, and now that the dragons had experienced technological advances, they were thrilled to learn more about it. That pushed him and Marcy to move to the Dragon Realm for a while. After all, we were their providers of the technology implemented in their realm. King David was the funniest, trying to video call everyone at all times. His daughter hatched two months ago, a gorgeous baby with purple eyes. The dragon's legends say the purple-eyed dragons were rare and blessed. I guess my pup got lucky on that one.
Stella POVWe managed to walk out of our room and headed to dinner. I was hoping to see everyone there, and I was sure not disappointed. Our table suddenly felt bigger, full of people and laughter. My heart warmed up, seeing the way our pack and friends had recovered from the massive attack we had endured.Everybody went silent as soon as we crossed the threshold of the dining hall. Rose's face lit up, and when our gazes crossed, I couldn't help but give her a broad smile. My eyes moved around, and my heart clenched when I saw Nate sitting in his wheelchair. It is unfair that such a fantastic person has to deal with that kind of recovery.My dearest Elemental elder friends were there as well. Eleanore, Everly, Elphaba, and Evangeline. I owe them everything.
Romeo POVIt was 3 weeks since the attack, all the visiting allied Alphas went back to their packs. They took the few casualties that they had, and everything was coming back to normal. Everything except my mate was still in the hospital, connected to wires with her eyes closed.The ladies of the Circle of the Willow decided to stay in my pack, waiting for Stella to wake up. King Aelfred and Kind David also stayed, but they sent their people back. Queen Sirena decided to take care of Stella personally. While King Vladimir returned to his kingdom, he said he would be back as soon as Paige and Eulisses´s baby was born, with Tatiana.I decided to stay at the hospital for as long as my mate was there. The staff had to pull an extra bed into Stella's guard to make my stay more comfortable. I couldn't part from her. I felt that the moment I walked out of that room, she would wake up, and I wanted to be the first face she
Stella POVDarkness was all I saw around me, I knew we had won, I felt at peace, and I was content with the life that I had lived. I was ready to meet my creator and to rest in peace. I let out a sigh, wishing I could have made it, but I also understood that certain sacrifices should be made for the greater good. So I was at peace.I heard a little giggle, and a white light blasted over me. I opened my eyes and realized that I was in a clearing, similar to where I was before, but there was no one around except me and a lady in a white dress.I walked towards the lady and I knew immediately that she was our Goddess. I guess I was in heaven. “My child, you did well… I am proud of you, you saved every species around, and for that, I am proud of you.” Selene said to me in a mellow and melodic voice.She sat on the ground facing the sky and I sat next to her. “You know that I bles
Paige POVShe blasted me. The fucking bitch blasted me with dark magic with full force. At that moment, I was thankful that Vladimir had asked me for an elf´s armor. Coral´s magic was slipping away from my body, not reaching me and not affecting me.I saw it in her eyes. She didn't know what was happening, she didn't understand the reach of white magic, and she was confused about what was protecting me. Beside the armor, the witches of the Circle of the Willow cast a blessing spell over me. No dark magic would be allowed to harm me, regardless of who cast it or how strong it was.I smiled at my ex-friend. “Oh, Coral, you wouldn't understand. Darkness is never stronger than light. Darkness corrupts everything, while light leads to a better path. You left darkness to consume you, and now you can't even see clearly what is happening around you.” I raised my eyes, looking at her completely dark ones. She gave me a look of co
Romeo POVIt was carnage, body parts flying everywhere, mostly from their creatures. Still, suddenly, we realized that even as we tore and tore flesh, the limp bodies on the ground started regenerating and attacking again. It was endless. Our injured warriors were removed from the field almost immediately.David left the fight and followed our sub-plan to protect Stella. We agreed to remove ourselves from the front and keep an eye on her. I felt her link open, and she whispered, “Honey, it is time. I love you.”“I love you, sweetheart. I will see you in a bit.” I told her, noticing the ground opening under us and demons crawling out. Shit, this is the worst-case scenario, these creatures are vicious, and our warriors are tired.Mariel POVI wanted to finish him, Romeo, the product of Remus' abuse of me, the reason why I couldn't leave that pack and have a happy life with my fated
Stella POVI was disappointed to feel Romeo closing in on me. I wanted to relax in his arms, but he refused and, with a tender kiss, walked away from me. I could feel his turmoil through our bond. I understand the way he feels, but he needs to give me some credit.Before I even had powers and my wolf, I was a good warrior and the best strategist, so he needed to start trusting me with my safety and the safety of my pups. I lay in bed trying to rest, but sleep never came. I tossed and turned until I placed my head over Romeo´spillow, which did the trick. Yes, I needed my mate close, and my pups also needed him, but he decided to leave us here.My selfish side wanted him near me at every single moment, while my rational side understood that he had a ton of things to check before the war. He wanted to be prepared and sure that we would be successful. Although my heart was hurting because I was in tune with my selfish side,
Romeo POVI dismissed the meeting, trying to wrap my head around what happened there. I want to keep Stella and my pups as far away as I can from the shitshow, and on the other hand, they twisted my arm into agreeing to have them as bait. I am torn and I don't know what to think about it.Stella is confident and wants to be part of everything, and I know for sure that she is capable enough, but still, my heart and my brain don't seem to agree on what to do. My heart and my wolf are pushing me to keep her safe and concealed from everything, while my brain is telling me that the best option to win this once and for all is to agree with Mother Ashia.Stella took my hand and gave me a small smile. She could feel my turmoil, and I, for once, was not trying to hide it from her. She needs to know that it has been the hardest decision I have had to make, and even if we agree on it, I am not sure about it.“H
