I kissed her for the last time as the morning had again knocked on the doorstep which meant that we had to part ways. Yvette tied her hair in a messy bun leaving a few strands of her hair loose on both of her shoulders. Her face was still sweaty and the blush was shining like the after-glow which indicated our night spent well."I will miss you all day." She pouted as the dimples formed in her cheeks giving off her innocent look."Yes, me too. But we have to be more careful now. Beta Jaime is back in the pack and I cannot keep him at long duty hours. It's already going to be a week since we started our sneaky affair." I pulled her in my arms and she let out a playful chuckle. That sound of hers made a throbbing effect between my pants, and I almost wanted to pin her against the wall."He doesn't seem to care, Alpha Lennon. Seriously," she whispered in dismay. "I hate being in the same room as him. But we need to pretend." She put her head on my left shoulder, listening intently to my

In the pack, I had no one who was related to me by blood. The last person who could have been useful to me now was my father, who was dead. But maybe, if I tried to find some sort of connection in the pack, I would be able to get a few of my blood-related step-siblings or something because my father was known for having multiple affairs after my mom."Yes, I am ready to give you that. But you have to give me enough time. I will surely come back with the reward." I shifted right in front of her and marched out of her old house.It had been a week since I had seen the seer, and my mind was still racing with ideas for how I could find my blood relative in the pack. Maybe I could ask Delta about my father's affairs if he knew about any. It was so frustrating that whenever I was close to Daphne, something would happen, and it would create hundreds of miles of distance between us.I angrily pushed open the door of my chamber and was startled for a second when I found Yvette waiting there

"You are supposed to be working, not flirting with some random guy!"Alpha Calle's words rang like a danger alarm in my head. His mouth was set into a straight line, still with the accusing look on his face. I couldn't bear to make eye contact with him any longer than now.His words hurt me like a sharp needle. I had always wanted to be a more perfect version of myself. Even though it was all new to me—the packs, the shifters in them, and the title of Secret Luna.Luna Daphne Forster, that's how I was going to be identified in the future. But to be honest, I was certain that with great power comes great responsibility. And I wasn't quite ready to be called a Luna. As of now, I have been the troublemaker in the pack. But I wanted them to accept me for who I was. The one who was truly me. Their admiration and love for me should not be motivated by fear or the fact that I held a position of power. I wanted them to love me and accept me as their member first, not some outsider who turne

There were only three things I wanted so far. First, I wanted to be the strongest witch on the continent. Currently, I wasn’t content with the power I had. Making potions and teleportation was only basic for most of the witches. The last thing I created didn’t even last for a couple of years. I might be possessing Aunt Crisanta’s resurrection power. It would be effective when I died with my own hands. But the power was not enough.Also, I was still dreaming of winning Alpha Calle’s heart and becoming his Luna. But before that could ever happen, I needed to seek out the real reason why he dumped me. Hell, I wasn’t even aware if he had already found his bitchy mate!I had to seek the fastest way to become stronger.I was in the library of my aunt's house, digging through books, trying to find something, anything, that could help me fulfill a specific goal. I had been researching magic and witchcraft for weeks now, desperate to learn how someone like myself—a young witch with relatively

I continued to run farther than was supernaturally possible—far away from Calle, leaving dust behind until finally, darkness enveloped whatever remained ahead of me. But then I halted as I heard the screams. At first, I thought it was only in my head, like a product of my own distress from what I had just gone through. But something wasn't right. Something dark had seemed to descend upon our town.Then the screams started to get louder and more desperate. I couldn’t just ignore the shrieking voices, so I turned in their direction. And then, as I ran with more speed, chasing the sound, I realized that the screams were coming from the direction of my school.What greeted me there made my blood run cold. Dark shadows filled every corner, surrounding students and teachers alike with their writhing tentacles of pure darkness. As I got closer, I could see them starting to attack the students. They were tearing them apart with their bare hands! It seemed like a living nightmare—one where no
