HANNAHThe elders' explanation kept playing in my head like nonstop music. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good melody. Instead, it was a shocking and scary one. How came? They said Casey manipulated the bond with magic.I couldn't believe it.Of course. I had never met a witch yet witnessed their power, and it affected Eliot and my lives.Casey must have done it too back then, so Eliot ended up giving the Luna title to her. And if I was still alive then, I might have lost all bond with Eliot.Wait.Did that mean my guess was right about her using magic to trap me with Ken? It explained how Eliot felt the pain.Then she should have understood the pain when a mate was intimate with others. But she missed it this time, which helped us track her action.Now, our next move was looking for the witch. The big question was how?"You're not sleeping."Eliot's words snapped me out of my thought. I was supposed to sleep as we were already on the bed with pajamas on and hugged each other.But it was

DANNYI cut the call after the conversation ended, and I made sure of my sister's condition. She sounded doing well despite the situation happening.I couldn't believe she fell into the same pit as everyone talking about her again after the failed shifting incident. The event itself devastated her, and I was happy she could accept it. Perhaps, it was because she had a wolf now, so the rumor didn't bother her anymore.But I guessed it was different this time. It was related to Hannah's best friend, who strangely was not anymore--and lover. Oh, I knew very well since when she had a crush on my friend, Eliot. It was obvious as she rarely let a male close to her.Me too, actually. I had to protect my sister from the male's trap.Then why did I let Eliot be close to Hannah? Because he treated her well, and I noticed his feeling for her. For those reasons, I also blessed them to be a couple.One step more. And Hannah would be a Luna then live happily with Eliot.But Goddess didn't let every

ALEXIAWe had been talking for two hours already, and it felt like we had just started it. In the meantime, I always put my guard on like I promised Beta Joe while we shared a laugh."And you know my friend didn't realize she sat in the wrong row and clutched the wrong person's arm during the movie," I told some stories about my experience in the human world. Sometimes, I missed the time and my student life, although it would end because I only had graduation left."How was that possible? Couldn't she smell him? Oh, right. They cannot smell." Clara responded and then corrected her own words. She must have forgotten momentarily that a human differed from a werewolf. They couldn't smell, hear and see as we did. They had limited senses compared to us."Yes. And the strange part, the person didn't protest or stop her. He thought she was his girlfriend who said she would turn up late. Well, his girlfriend clearly didn't show up.""Don't humans use a phone? She should have informed him.""S

HANNAH"What is it about, Hannah?" Danny asked in a demanding tone. He had eyes set on me and looked at me sharply as if interrogating me.He was.Another secret was blown up, and he must have been upset with me.I bit my bottom lip, not knowing where to start. Should I begin with sorry? Or should I just throw everything out?"Let me explain, Danny." Eliot, who sat beside me while holding my hand, took over.I stared at my mate, thanking him for replacing me to do it. I couldn't face my brother after I made lies right before him."Good. Now, explain."Eliot gave the nod and kissed the scar pretty long before shifting his attention to Danny. "It's what you have in mind."I heard gasps and, at the same time, shock plastered on the faces of people around us."So, is it true? You are mates to each other?" Instead, Danny, it was Alexia responding.But my brother didn't budge. He even didn't change his expression and still had a sharp gaze on me. "To the point, Eliot. I don't like babbling.

HANNAH"Don't tell Eliot about this." I finally could say something after the commotion inside the store. And I needed to exit and walk away for a few meters before the first word came from my lips.It shocked me as well as froze me from giving a proper reaction. I should have snarled at the culprit as Jenna did. But I did nothing and only hid behind her back.There would definitely be another rumor about me.Shit!"I'm sorry, Luna. Alpha Eliot already knows of it." Jenna replied regretfully.My jaw almost dropped hearing that. It was going to be complicated if Eliot learned about the incident.But who would I hide it from? Eliot, the Alpha of this pack, and sooner or later, he would know.I let out a sigh. Nothing I could do about it. "What did Eliot say?""He will visit the females and talk to them."Yeah. Eliot would do that.And another sigh escaped my lips. It placed me in a difficult position. Eliot defended me in this situation, and people might see it badly.But he would not l
