The Wolfless Luna

MaliaI can't believe it's finally happening. Zade and I are heading to see the seer. An elder in our pack, the Silver Moon, has been talking about her for days now. They say she's got the power to reveal secrets and hidden truths. And boy, do we need her help right now.Zade and I go way back. We've known each other for a long time since my family moved back here to be part of the pack. We've been dating for more than a year now. Zade, being the Alpha's son, is strong, protective and fearless. And he's also got a heart of gold. I couldn't ask for a better partner. It got even more perfect when our mate bond revealed itself earlier than usual.But there's something that's been weighing on me for as long as I can remember. My curse.It's a curse that's been passed down through the women in my family for generations. This curse stops us from shifting into our werewolf forms. It's like a part of me is missing, and it's been a constant sadness in my life.As we approach the seer's cottage

MaliaIt's been two days since the patrol team found Victoria unconscious at the borders. She's been drifting in and out of consciousness since then.Victoria's eyes fluttered open, her gaze filled with confusion as she took in her surroundings. Two days of drifting in and out of consciousness had left her disoriented, but one sight brought a flicker of surprise to her face - Zade, standing by her side.I tried not to show my discomfort towards the relief that appeared on her face after seeing Zade.For goddess's sake, Malia! She's injured. I silently chided myself for letting my jealousy and insecurities cloud my mindI'm caught off guard when Victoria reaches out and pulls Zade into a loving embrace. My heart sank at the sight, realizing that their connection ran deeper than I had initially thought. But I pushed my feelings aside, reminding myself to be there for Zade.As they held each other, Zade gently pulled away and began questioning Victoria, concern etched across his face. "V

Malia As the days turned into weeks, three weeks to be precise. I made a conscious decision to accept Victoria's presence in our home and be understanding, even though it made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I wanted to support Zade and make this situation work, no matter what.I never knew how wrong and impossible that would be. One day, while they were in the middle of a training session, something unexpected happened. I was standing behind Victoria when she slipped lost her balance and fell to the ground. She lets out a piercing scream. My heart raced as I rushed to her side, concerned for her well-being. "Oh, goddess! Victoria are you alright?" I placed my fingers on her leg checking for injuries.Zade comes rushing, looking extra scared and worried "V, are you okay? What happened?""She fell. It's okay I just checked everywhere, she seems fine." I reassure him before turning to her, "Victoria are you okay? Can you-"Let go of me! This is all your fault. You pushed me!" Vi

MALIAI ran back to my room in tears, my heart still in disbelief of what just happened.I could remember like it was yesterday when Victoria was brought back to the pack. When I looked at her and learned she had a wolf, I'd felt threatened, but I had termed it as me being insecure. I could remember asking Zade if there was anything I should be worried about and while he responded that there wasn't, he lost his temper at me and made it seem like I was accusing him wrongly. Like I was doubting his trust and love for me. But now, this was it...This was where all that trust and love ended. He betrayed me without looking back. He didn't care about all we'd been through together. He didn't care about what we shared. I sniffled, wrapping the duvet over me as tears streamed down my cheeks.For some weird reason, even while I cried, my gaze was locked onto the door. No, it was not for some weird reason, but because I was waiting to see if the doorknob would be twisted and if Zade would rush

Malia's POVMy eyebrows shut up, at the sound of the deep masculine voice behind me. Everything went silent the minute his voice echoed in the air. So silent that you could hear a pin drop to the floor.“She's got company!” I heard the rogues whisper to themselves.“What's holding you men back from taking her?” One of the rogues yelled, joining the others. The one who spoke looked older and had a scar over his left eye, which he definitely must have gotten from an opponent that I bet was dead now. “Grab the girl now!” He ordered, but the others stayed put with their eyes glued on the gentleman behind me.“Careful how you finish that sentence boy,” The Man behind me grimaced. “Is that aura I perceive?” The older rogue asked. “Get them!” He added with a smile creased on his face.Two rogue men came barreling in. They were running right for us. I ducked, burying my face in the dirt confused about what to do next. “Alpha Ryder!!” Someone behind the bushes stirred, “So that was his name”
