Next chapter coming up in a few hours.
(Lena's POV)Nat's wet blonde hair lay over his emerald green eyes; the injury Damien had inflicted on him was already healing, leaving only bruises. Nat could be seen as beautiful by any other person who didn't know who he truly was. My first thought was to back away, but I couldn't; I was the Luna."You shouldn't be here, Luna.""How could you do this to your own mate?""It is none of your business; she is a bitch and should be punished.""I will not allow it.""What would you do about this?" he asked, advancing on me."Stay away, Gamma.""Or what?" he asked again."Damien would have your head, and you know it.""I doubt he knows you are here. I could give you just a taste of what disrespectful bitches like you have to suffer; obviously Damien is growing weak.""Let her go," I growled, surprised that my voice sounded bold even if I was feeling the exact opposite.To my surprise, Nat walked to Aurora, setting her loose. She dropped to the ground with a whimper, and I held my tears in
He was beside me when I woke up; I had tangled my legs with his. I couldn't deny how fast my heart raced when I noticed he was there; I hadn't realize when he came back from the woods.He had been watching me, like he was trying to memorize every part of me. He kissed my forehead. "I'm so sorry for last night; I shouldn't have...""Shhh, none of that. I was wrong too; I should have said something back instead of leaving the way I did.""No. I don't want you to say you love me back; I don't want you to fake that."I said, and he nodded in understanding. We both knew that he might never say those words. It was okay—that's what I say to myself—but no, it wasn't. I knew I was doomed. The moment I agreed to let him fake his love, I was falling deeper because he was so damn good at that, and it scared me. Sometimes I pick up changes in him, those tiny changes, and I hold onto them, letting myself forget that he was too good an actor. I was desperate. Desperate for his touch, to be loved, an
(Damien's POV)I was on my feet, and the rage filled my chest. I wanted to kill Tony here for even thinking he could touch my mate, right in my pack, but slowly he took his seat. Wise decision Tony."Appologies, Alpha," he said, a fake smile on his face. The bastard, I should have known, the fool, came on his knees begging for 'anything' in exchange for his daughter; he didn't think I would keep her alive for even a week, and the fact that she still is, almost unharmed, has given him the morale to come here again."You shouldn't be apologizing to just me," I growled at him. He knew better than to challenge me. I didn't give a fuck if his pack remained without an Alpha. I was very ready to dig my claws into his heart right here.Sitting beside him was Felicia, his Luna and Lena's mother. She was a shame of a mother; she had sold out her own daughter without even a single care in the world, and it brought back memories I had dug deep down—memories I never want to remember.Felicia looke
-----(Aurora’s POV) ----(Three years ago)I knew I was beautiful. I didn’t need others to tell me that; I saw what I looked like in the mirror. A goddess with a wave of red hair, like burning flames, and deep blue eyes. Every single girl in the pack envied me, and every man lusted for me.I was different, unlike every other she-wolf. I didn’t dream about my mate; I didn’t care to find him. I was in love with Jordan. I was willing to give him everything. I lost my virginity to him, and I never regretted that. We both made a promise to each other; we promised to never fall apart, and we were both supposed to reject our mates when the time came. I could love no one but Jordan, and he was the love of my life and no one could change that, not the moon goddess or fate itself.I was seventeen, and I had everything; my parents weren’t lower-class wolves either, just average, perfect—that was what my life was. Perfect until The Blood Moon Pack paid our pack (The Raven Pack) a visit.Nat saw m
------ (Lena’s POV) -----Would he really had let me go if I had agreed?The question stayed on my mind for the next few days. The fact that Damien gave me a choice came as a huge surprise to me.There was something else I had noticed. Aurora was hardly ever present in the dining room. Most times, both chairs are left empty, and other times, Nate is present and she is not. Many times I had wanted to ask where she was, but then I remembered I had promised myself to stay away from their businesses, a promise I wasn’t sure I would keep for long.I couldn’t believe my parents thought they could have me back after all they did. It was a shock even to me that I chose to be with Damien. They believed he had messed with my head so badly that I was forever attached, but I would do anything to wipe away that knowing look on my mother’s face. I hated it. The girl she knew and predicted, the girl they could bend into their will was long gone.I knew that with them, I wasn’t safe either; sooner or
(Aurora’s POV)(Mature Content!!)It was like he had forgotten me here. It had been over a week since I lay on the floor, naked and cold. It wasn’t normal for a werewolf to be this cold; the heat was in our system, but it was like mine was failing. I slipped in and out of consciousness. I was so hungry, I couldn’t move. Could he starve me to death?I couldn’t even tell the length to which he could go with this anymore. I wondered what would happen if I ended up dead. Nothing. I realized nothing was going to happen if I disappeared; no one noticed me, no one cared. I missed my parents; I missed my father, though he was seen as a traitor; I missed my mother, who could never visit me here again; and most of all, I missed Jordan. I missed what could have been.I was dying; I knew it, and no one came for me...My thoughts were caught off guard when the door was pushed open. I couldn’t see who it was, but for some reason I knew it was not Nate. Nate would never sneak in so quietly. I could
---Lena’s POV --- “When would you learn to stop poking your nose into what is not your business?” I had the voice ask, and it startled me. I did my best to stay still; I couldn’t afford to show any signs of weakness. It was Isis. “And why don’t you stay away from me? It's been going well for the past few weeks.” “Don’t flatter yourself, Luna. I had been very busy with pack business and...” “With my job,” I cut in, already knowing what she had to say. “I cannot get why you would not leave that poor girl alone, and you see... I saw you take food to her; you are not very good at sneaking. Well, your wolf is a bit sloppy, so that’s understandable. I wonder what Nate would do to the poor bitch when he discovered it; because he would find out, I’ll make sure of it.” “Whatever this is, it’s between the both of us; Aurora has nothing to do with it.” “Begging for the slut now, are you?, pathetic.” she snorted and walked away. I once thought I hated my parents; the hate I felt for Isis wa
---Lena’s POV ---(Trigger Warning!)Nate growled low, seemingly Irritated. I stood to my feet, walking towards Aurora."Let her be; she'll get up when she is ready, Luna." Isis said, but I ignored her. I squatted, placing my hands gently on Aurora's neck to check her pulse, but very strangely, her body was cold—so damned cold—and it wasn't normal; werewolves weren't supposed to be this cold—except somehow he had managed to weaken her wolf to the point where her wolf was almost ...dead.The bastard."What the hell did you do to her, Nate?" I growled at him."Stay out of my business, Luna; she will wake soon; she loves the attention; I know it."My mouth dropped open in surprise; he thought this was all an act?. I walked towards him, and I landed the hardest slap I had ever given in my life, putting in all my furry into it. The force alone sent his face to the side, and his hair, which was always positioned over his eyes, shifted a bit, exposing the little pink scar on his forehead. His
