"You think you can defeat me? " Derned chuckled and tilted his head. Amusement shining in his eyes.  "I don't think that… " Keiran scoffed. "I know it, " The alpha smirked. "Hunters… " Derned whispered, his voice low and monstrous.  Keiran saw some shadowy figures emerging from the dark. They stopped before stepping into the light, patiently waiting for their leader's order.  "Wow… you've prepared quite a show, " The alpha laughed.  "Well, of course, I have to impress you after all, " The man let out a low chuckle.  "Impress me? A blood suck

Evelyn could hear her heart beating loudly.    Her mate's pain was crushing her.    The omega clenched her fist as she looked at Keiran.  Derned's hand was on the alpha's throat as he choked him but Keiran didn't seem to care about himself. Instead, he was looking at Evelyn with worry.  "Evelyn… run—argh! " The alpha grunted in pain when Derned dug his claws into his flesh. "R-Run to Calvin and tell him to take you home! " He shouted before delivering a punch to the vampire's face.  Evelyn could hear her mate's commands but her mind was blank.   She felt odd.&nb

"Keiran," The omega called her mate, her voice shaky.  Keiran was beside her in a second, scooping her into his arms as he leaned on the headboard. "I'm here… " He kissed the girl on the head.  Evelyn's lips trembled as she looked up to meet the alpha's eyes. "Is-Is your hand o-okay? "  "Yes, Amelia patched it up. Don't worry, " Keiran smiled and hugged his mate.  "I-I'm sorry… " The omega said suddenly, causing her mate to look down at her confused.  "What?" Keiran frowned.  "You got h-hurt because of me, " Evelyn gripped the alpha's shirt. "Everyone I loved always got hurt b-because of me… I'm-I'm scared, " She sobbed into his chest.   "Hey… it's not your fault. You're special and gifted and they want you because of that. We're just trying to protect you, "

"Keiran, I want to tell you something, " Evelyn grabbed her mate's hand before he tried to walk away.  "What? " Keiran turned towards the girl who was nervously looking down. He caressed the omega's cheeks. "What happened? Is there something bothering you? "  Evelyn shook her head. "That's not it… Umm… I've been h-hiding something from y-you, " She said while fumbling with the hem of her sleeves.   "What is it? " Keiran frowned.   Evelyn gulped. "Before we went to the Bluemoon Pack, I've been s-secretly training with J-Josh… That's how I learned self-defense, " The girl slowly looked up at the alpha's face. Keiran had a stoic expression. The omega couldn't figure out if he was mad or not.  "Remember when I beat up those perverts who tried to harass me? That's all because of the training. I-I hid this from you

"Your mother was able to grow and harvest plants and fruits. It was one of her powers. If you handle it intelligently, you can use it as a weapon too, " Niya explained as they were standing in front of an old tree.  "This tree has no leaves but I want you to try and see if you can grow some on it, " She said pointing towards the tree.  Evelyn took a deep breath. "I will try my best, "  Niya smiled. "Can you feel the tree, Evelyn? Can you feel its roots? You have to focus on the ground first. Feel the ground and the roots and then imagine the tree coming to life with green leaves, "   Evelyn did as Niya told her. She focused on the ground first. It was cold. Freezing cold. Maybe because it's covered in snow. She could feel the roots of the tree. They were weak—almost at the brink of decomposing. The tree was dry. It felt empty and weak. Evelyn wasn't sure if she
