One second can be a catalyst for a paradigm shift, where the veil of certainty is lifted and we come face to face with the harsh reality that we were mistaken all along.One second was all it took for me to crumble down when Logan’s words took an intensive U-Turn. “What the fuck is this?!” The papers in his hand were recklessly torn in half and I felt the calloused edges of the documents on my skin as Logan threw everything to my chest like it was all my fault.Seeing the fury of her mate not actually directed towards her, Jane rushed towards Logan once again, latching back her arms to his own. The gag rose up in my throat faster than light by how desperate she looks.Logan’s uproar had me glancing back at him. “You were given the position to do your job properly, Morana. What do all these documents mean?! Are you still rebelling because of the Luna Game?” He rubbed the bridge of his nose as stress slowly ate his reasoning. I can’t believe this shit.“Don’t you understand? Your mat

“What is this meeting about?” I asked one of the pack members who just stepped out of her room to attend the meeting. Everyone else was stepping out of their doors, lining down the stairs towards the lounge.“I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s related to Miss Jane’s pregnancy, she’s afterall, stirring up the entire pack because of the news—” unaware who she was talking to, she slowly turns, the enthusiastic look on her face after tattling instantly falls down into shock before fear as he sees the group of pack warriors behind me.“I-I . . . I’m sorry, Luna!” She bowed down, her hands trembling. I smiled, the authority I feel with the title I’m called slowly fleeting. I place a hand on her shoulder and she raises her head.“It’s fine.” I mutter before turning away from her to the lounge. It didn’t take long though before her mouth had to run after I marched off for a couple of meters.I sometimes think people around here forget that we’re wolves, blessed with high senses that would hear t

There is certain magic when the missing puzzle piece appears, filling you with the sense of hope that everything will be alright. That’s how the arrival of Beta Vincent feels like right now. An addition to the only family I have left which I’m certain would back me up at every step I take.He was with me when I climbed to the position of Luna, when I became the Luna, and now that I’m no longer Luna — sort of.Vincent was second to the Alpha for a reason, and with a sense of duty within him, he led me up the circle, leveling with him. He always wore a serious facade, his sharp mind a hidden gem that effortlessly taught me the secrets to maneuvering complex paperwork. How to lead a pack with an ironclad determination, and to win against all oppositions.My success was largely owed much to his teachings when I was still on my way to the Luna position against everyone else.George, Logan, and I stood on the side, meters away from the large helipad.The helicopter slowly landed down carr

I stare in the mirror and in its reflection, I see someone on the verge of change. I inhale and exhale, the air musky with the scent I’ve grown accustomed to for so many years. This will be the last time I’m using this large space, this large sink adorned with my bath products and traces of Logan’s aftershave too, when we still slept together in the same room.With the last courage I’ve mustered, I step out of the bathroom in my robe. The dress I’ve worked so hard cutting and sewing for the last hour laid on the bed. It must have been Jane sabotaging me — fortunately for her, it would be the last time she has to do that now that I’m soon off her sight.I was about to head over to the bed when three consecutive knocks were heard first before I was to do so. I instantly covered the dress with the sheets and headed to the door in my robe.Who could it be with the party thirty minutes away from now? Surely they wouldn’t have the time in their hands to idle around instead of preparing for

I’ve been waiting for this. To see how low she could bend herself over to win over me, and indeed, it did not disappoint. A part of me couldn’t help but feel a strange mix of vindication and shock. I had been waiting for this moment, a glimpse into the depth of Jane’s malice — to see just how low she could stoop.But even with all the anticipation, I never imagined she would go as far as to ruin her own baby shower, just to humiliate me. A payback of her own expense. “Are you planning to poison us?” One of the Lunas from another pack that’s been invited instantly shrieked, dropping her plate. I find Logan’s penetrating stare through the crowd.Disappointment danced over his orbs, glinting under the hue of the chandelier. This was probably why I did not hesitate to make him leave. He didn’t even know if I actually did it and yet, he was already suspicious.“D-don’t say that, Luna. I’m sure Morana didn’t mean to do that.” Jane butted in, an awkward smile on her face, as if having a ha
