The dinner buffet accommodates more desserts tonight. Selena is now a friendly pack member and the dinner has been the main contributor to it. She hasn't been announced as Luna of Mount Manuka yet and only the leader's pack knows about it. But the pack has developed a deep connection with her in a considerably short period. Their natural protective instinct towards their Luna never failed to impress Zaden. Some neighbors tend to bring her homemade ice cream, in favor of her sweet tooth. Especially the kids tend to gravitate towards her, although she claims she is 'not good with kids'. Selena and Makeala had gone down to dinner first, leaving the boys to their beauty nap. Once Zaden merged with the buffet line, his eyes skimmed through the vast Sacramento field for Selena. He spotted his fawn, nestled at the usual rocky corner, next to a bonfire. Crackles from the bonfire dusted stray sparkles into the air and her smile rubbed off moonshine, creating a coherent scene of t

Wide, airy windows framed the world behind embedded safety bars. Natural stones of various hues and shapes reinforced the walls. Redwood mended and polished into useful furniture serves as the silver line between prison and guest room. A few wolves lurked at her door constantly. A golden cage for the butterfly. Streams of thoughts have been rattling her brain, despite her calm, stolid appearance. The air felt empty. The night lost its magic. The room is foreign. A drop of hatred to her own self for no apparent reason trickled at the back of her heart. Sitting knees up on a chair next to the window, her eyes fixated on the sickled moon, high up in the black sky. She or basically her wolf has been intimate with Zaden for the past 10 days. If it is true that she is pregnant, how could he have known it so early? Plus, she just had been hospitalized after a major injury. Is it possible for early pregnancy to survive such an impact? Medically speaking–NO. Then, it must

The wake of the sun was still solemn like the day before. Ozrain exited Selena's room, rubbing his forehead in contempt. Her weakening heartbeat still resonates in his ears. Draven who was waiting outside sighed. By now, he is accustomed to the antics behind the door. They stared at each other silently for a minute or two. Ozrain is juggling a crucial intersection in his lifetime. Sparing his daughter's life and returning to being a lone wolf or push a little bit more and stand a chance to have a family?. Which one is more important? What if she continues this even after reaching their kingdom? She is already limp due to lack of energy. How long can she sustain herself? Especially when her wolf refuses to heal. He sighed again, staring at the ceiling. Among all the others, he is the one who would understand the pain of losing a lover and mate. Selena lost both in one night.“Send the motorboat to bring your son,” he said coldly. As if waiting for this, Draven shoots mi

“Are you out of your mind?” Zaden, pacing left and right with Selena comfortably NESTLED in her favorite velvet green couch. The pair of eyes that would degrade well-polished grey pearls, tumbled to left and right to tail her lover's footsteps. An inch of loose thread dangling off the hem of her borrowed hoodie took the beating, drawn closer with knees up on the couch.“Look at me!!!” he exclaimed, shocking Selena as she jerked and snapped up at him.“We have been fighting so hard to keep you away from him and now you want to go cruising with him? Sunday picnic perhaps? Have you gone crazy?” Zaden, fuming with anger. In a different situation, his red face would make her laugh.“That was when we thought he killed Elisa...” she mumbled low but Zaden heard her.“And you believe him? Where did this sudden attachment to him come from? “Zaden's pitch is rising higher, clutching his hip. “Zad–“Makeala’s defense speech slashed right in the heart by Zaden’s deadly glare, effectively shutting

Ozrain and Maximus hugged each other, sealing their reunion with a hearty laugh. After years, the wait is finally over. From further exchange of conversation, it came to light that Maximus is not the Delta anymore, he is the beta to Epsilon. He also explained all that has happened since Ozrain left, in brief. Some details that he was saying seemed to bother Ozrain, as discontent was visible on his face. “You refused to come back unless you have found your child. Does that mean you had found him?" Ozrain knocked out of his deep thought“It's a she” he swung open one of his arms, pointing towards the first jeep. Maximus paced together with Ozrain to the jeep in question as the window of the rear seat rolled down. Revealed the beautiful, sweet, fragile girl on the lap of an intimidating alpha, hugging his neck and head down. Maximus placed his elbows on the window frame“Hi there, pumpkin...I'm Maximus, your grandpapa's old friend. What's your name?” he asked, nothing even remote
