RHEA There was silence at first. An eery silence that made shivers run down my spine, goosebumps appearing on my skin. Then, I heard it. The ear piercing cry of the rogue wolf. A howl of pain. I opened my eyes, my gaze resting on Jaden's large wolf which had pinned the other wolf to the ground, effortlessly. What was scary about this, was that the rogue wouldn't stop howling, despite the fact that Jaden wasn't even putting so much pressure on him. I didn't feel sorry for him, you see. He had tried to kill me. 'The only reason why I'm not ripping him apart yet, is because I don't want you to feel bad. But, I'm going to knock him out' Jaden told me. I sighed, turning away from them. 'Sure. What else are you going to do with him? He's a rogue who trespassed into your grounds' I said.'Darryl and Klaus will interrogate him' he said and moved towards me. The rogue wolf was lying on the ground knocked out. He suddenly shifted into human form and on the floor lay a pale teenager wh
RHEA Rain poured down heavily, lightning struck and the sound of the howling wind echoed into the night. I stared at the ceiling, a frown creasing my brows when I saw that the ceiling was different from the one I was starting to get accustomed to. I sat up slowly, taking in the sight of the room. The room was much smaller, and I realized that I was lying on a relatively small mattress. Sitting on the night stand was a photo of a couple embracing. I took a closer look at the photo my eyes widening when I recognized them. It was a photo of a younger Jaden and...Sheila? My eyes widened further. I rose to my feet and walked towards the full length mirror in the corner of the room, letting out a bewildered gasp when I saw my reflection.Staring back at me was a pair of green eyes which I knew belonged to Sheila. I pulled at the blonde hair on my head, trying not to panic."What's going on? Why do I look like this?" I thought aloud, patting my cheeks. "Jaden doesn't see you, bitc
RHEA Words couldn't entirely describe what I was feeling. I stared at her and she did the same. She looked just like me. It felt as though I was looking at my own reflection. Her hair had streaks of purple and she definitely had a similar fashion sense. Her lips were coated with bright red lipstick just like mine was, at the moment. She was wearing a skin-tight red dress and she rocked thigh highs as well as I did. Seconds bound by and all we did was stare. Jaden was at a loss for words, his gaze kept fleeting from my look alike to me. And just like that, I went down memory lane, recalling what I'd seen in my second vision. Jaden had been right. There was no other way to explain this.The woman standing in front of me was my twin. I didn't think it was a coincidence. Something was definitely up. Something really unusual. Klaus broke the rigid silence first. "Alpha Jaden, this is Alpha Thalia. Behind her is Corey, her Beta and Alan, her Gamma"Jaden robotically held out a hand to
RHEA Slowly, I opened my eyes with a groan. The bed I was lying on, was much more comfier and larger than the bed I'd been using since I arrived at the pack house. I slowly took in the sight of the large bedroom. The digital clock on the nightstand read 09:20pm.Judging from the interior designs and the dark colored curtains, I knew that I was in Jaden's bedroom. Besides, his scent was everywhere. I drew in a long breath, his scent flooding my senses in a pleasant way. My wolf growled with satisfaction and I closed my eyes. I heard a door creak open and I also heard someone open the drawers. I didn't want to open my eyes just yet. I wanted to remain in his bed until noon, the next day. "I know you're awake, Rhea" he said, his husky voice making my heart thrum with excitement. "Do I have to carry you out of my bed and drop you on the floor?" He asked and I let out a huff of annoyance, kicking my legs into the air as I threw a little tantrum. I cracked an eye open, my cheeks h
JADEN "The king wants to have a private discussion with you? That's new" Klaus said. I sighed and peered at my wristwatch. It was still quite early. "I'll be leaving now" I said and he nodded. Rhea's gaze met mine, an intense look in her eyes. 'Going somewhere?' She said telepathically. 'Yes. The Alpha King wants to have a private chat with me. I don't know what this is about' I told her. She walked towards me and when she finally got to me, she gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Good luck" I smiled at her. "Take care of the pack, Luna" I told her and she grinned."Aye, aye, captain"Klaus escorted me to the gates, I got into my car and drove off. On getting to the king's palace, I was taken to the king's personal chamber. "You asked for my presence" I said and he nodded in agreement, a blank look on his face. If I had to guess what was going on? I would guess wrongly over and over again. "Yesterday, your brother was here" he began, his brows furrowed slightly. "What does
JADEN Zaden's smirk faded and his eyes darkened. He'd clearly underestimated me. "The first round is probably going to be the easiest" the king stated, an amused look on his face."Two contestants will face each other in their wolf forms. The first wolf whose back hits the ground, loses" the royal Beta announced. Klaus snorted from his position on my left."It's definitely a piece of cake for you and Tarus" he commented. He wasn't being overconfident, he knew what Tarus was capable of."The contestants will compete in this order: Alpha Jared and Alpha Dylan, Alpha Vincent and Alpha Zaden, Alpha Thalia and Alpha Finn.."'The tournament is for the next king... she's not supposed to be here' Darryl pointed out through the mind link. I sighed, wondering what Alpha Thalia was up to now.'This is a tournament for Alphas. She's an Alpha, you can't deny or change that' Klaus said.I watched her as she stood beside her opponent, Alpha Finn. He was huge, approximately three times her siz
RHEA Trisha went down on her knees and I stared at her bewildered. Was she being sincere? Or was this a trick? She'd just acknowledged me as Luna. I took a long breath and exhaled slowly. "Fine, I forgive you. We're all good, now" I said. She rose to her feet and embraced me. I wondered if she was happy or if her face had just been twisted into an unpleasant scowl because I couldn't see her. When we pulled away, there was a smile on her face. "Thank you so much, Rhea" she said and I forced out a smile. Jaden's scent wafted into my nostrils and my smile widened. "Looks like Jaden is back" Trisha commented. I stepped out from the back of the main building and went towards the gates to welcome my mate. The moment he saw me, his eyes twinkled. He approached me, not taking his eyes off me. "Here you are" he said and kissed me. Our pack members cheered and my cheeks burned. I followed him to his quarters, his arm still secured around my waist. "So, how was it?" I asked and he shru
JADEN She was beautiful even as a wolf. Her fur was the color of snow, bright and unrivaled. She was larger than Thalia's wolf and her aura was stronger. Her blue and green eyes complemented her beauty. I felt so lucky to have her as my mate. Mine.She approached me, her movements slow and graceful. She paused in front of me and curled up around me. No words were spoken. We were content, at peace.After a while, we both shifted back into our human forms and slipped on our clothes. We silently made our way back to the pack house, our fingers entwined. I had finally moved on from Sheila and I hoped she'd moved on too...."I want to come with you" Rhea said to me two days later. She had resumed her duties as the Luna. The pack members were quickly warming up to her. They were coming to see her most of the time.I raised a brow at her. "You want to go to the tournament with me?" I asked."Yes. I have a feeling that someone is going to try to mess things up. It's what my instinct
