Brooke.The sound of the chipping birds fills the quiet morning air; it is something at 11:00 pm in the morning which is odd to hear at that hour. I slowly open my eyes, but the sharp sunlight makes me immediately close them. My hands search the bed, frantically searching for Alexander. I immediately open my eyes. A small frown settles on my face as I realize he is in the room. I can’t feel his presence in the room. Just as I'm about to stand up, I feel a sharp pain from down there, making me yelp in pain.“Is everything okay?” I heard Alexander, running towards me as he placed the tray he was carrying on the bed, concern written in his face, his eyes gazing at me intently. Amidst the pain, my eyes quickly glance towards what he places on the bed. It is a thick steak, sizzling and juicy, served alongside freshly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and a pile of roasted potatoes."I just felt a sharp pain down there," I murmured shyly, my eyes avoiding his gaze. I twist with the drawstring of m
Brooke As soon as Carter dismisses me, just like some piece of trash, I can't help but feel a surge of emotions in me. I look around the hall for Alexander, but I can’t find him, or he has already left. Tears trickle down my face as I walk down the hallway, immediately cleaning it off. I can't afford to allow anyone to see me in this state, not when most of them are in support of his actions.As soon as I get into my room, I crash on the bed, pouring out my heart. Ever since Maddox died, I knew things would change, and this is part of it. I can't control things because I can't remember my memories.“You know, crying won't solve a thing, Brooke.” I hear that familiar voice, making me flinch in fear.“When did you enter?” I ask, after confirming who it truly is. Alexander.“I've been here, even before you came in, I just had, sitting right on this chair. But it seems your emotions were too much for you to notice me,” he says, standing up gracefully from the chair while I sniffle, embar
CarterThe meeting dragged on far longer than I expected, but I forced myself to maintain composure. Elder after Elder approaches, offering congratulations and long-winded advice about my reign. Beside me, Brooke stands quietly, her presence a calm yet firm reminder of her unwavering support.As much as I wish I could send them all home with a simple wave of my hand, I know that’s impossible. Custom demands this moment—an endless parade of formalities to mark my first day as Alpha. It feels like an eternity before the Elders finally begin to disperse, their murmurs fading into the background.“Brooke, you can leave now,” I say, my tone firm but not unkind. “We’ll catch up later.”Without hesitation, and saying a word, she begins to leave. I know whatever it is that I have done might have made her hate me, but it is just for her good. Alexander is a bad guy, and I want to keep her close to help her. I went to Naza, my guard and most trusted confidant, my mind racing at the business of
Brooke.“I believe we have unfinished business, Alpha Carter,” the stranger says, their gaze flickering to me. “And it involves her.” Silence fills the courtroom as we all anticipate what is happening. What is happening? What does he mean by ‘involves her’? My breath catches in my throat as a chilling realization dawns. Whoever this person is, they’re here for me. And whatever they want—it can’t be good, not with this dangerous-looking aura.“What do you want from her? And who are you?” Carter says, rising from his throne, his eyes scanning between the audience and him, a flicker of fear fills his eye, but it is quickly suppressed with pride.“Carter, you seem to have forgotten me so soon, don't you?” The voice asks in between his hysterical, dangerous laugh that fills the whole room, creating a sense of dread in me. Whoever this strange man is and why he wants me, he seems to be a dangerous one, with his face still masked.At this point, I can't help but notice something strange abou
Brooke.“I would love to invite Brooke forward. Brooke will be my Beta and the Beta of the Lunar Legacy Pack for my reign,” he announces; gasps ripple through the crowd, their surprise evident.“What do you mean, Brooke is your Beta, Alpha Carter?” Elder Abeltro’s voice slices through the stunned silence, his face a mask of disbelief.“Do you have a problem with Beta, Elder Abeltro? I selected her because I believe she is capable…”“Capable? Really? For someone who doesn't remember most of her memories?” Elder Abeltro snaps, anger flashing in his tone.His words strike a raw nerve, but I bite down the surge of pain they invoke. He’s not wrong, after all. My fractured memory is a weakness. Still, his doubt stings—especially when voiced so publicly.“How dare you say that in front of me, Alberto?” Carter growls, the tension in the air getting higher, and immediately Abeltro steps backward, bowing his head. “Don't forget that I'm the Alpha here, and I know what is best for the pack.”“I'
Alexander I glance at the Mirror, looking at myself for the last time before leaving the room. One thing I hate is being late for any occasion, not for today's special occasion.I walk towards Brooke, hoping she will be ready, she has never been late. I can't help but recall the conversation between her and Alexander; she has told me about it, and I can't help but feel ashamed and utterly disappointed in Carter. “Hi, Alex,” I hear Brooke’s soothing voice, calming the emotions I'm feeling while she places a kiss on my lips.“Hi,” I say, looking in uttermost surprise, waves of flutter inside of me.“I'm ready,” she giggles, turning around for me in her flower gown.I can't help but gaze at her from head to toe. She looks stunning, her smile adding more light like a warm sunrise. Her hair is properly packed, and her eyes hold a sparkle that seems to pull me in, leaving me captivated.There's a grace in the way she carries herself, confident yet gentle, as if she knows the world is watc
