All Chapters of The Luna's Destined Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

One week before Serena's Capture……Nicholae's POV As an Alpha, I pride myself on being in control at all times. It's simply in my nature. But then, everything concerning my Mea Lunaria has never involved control. All those centuries ago, she was a wild thing, testing my patience with defiant acts that would have gotten anyone else killed on the spot. This version of her however, is a mystery to me but she doesn't make me act any less crazy. Moreso, it feels like my feelings for her have grown, have become much more intense and volatile than what I ever felt. Could it be that I want to protect her more because she is an Omega? Or because of the terrible things she suffered? When I first brought her to the pack, I was mad with anger and anxious with worry. She was so frail, her body broken and bruised all over. I am seated on a tree trunk at the training grounds. My warriors give me a wide berth for fear that I would beat then up as I have been doing these past few weeks. Feelin

Serena's POV:“T-the v-vampires are here.” The stuttering voice belts out before I hear the thud of a body hitting the floor.Blood flows from the body in a crimson stream swiftly towards the bed, I just stay there, wide eyed, until it gets to the foot of the bed. It feels like a terrible foreshadowing of what is going to happen to me, like a message of the inevitability of my destruction, straight from the Moon Goddess. For a second, I just sit on the bed, frozen, unmoving, the sound of screaming ringing in my ears, every other sound is muffled. It takes me a while to realize that the screaming is coming from me.“-ena, -rena, Serena!” Nicholae calls out, shaking my shoulders. I don't move, the panic overtaking me so much that I can't react. “Damnit, Serena, snap out of it.” He shakes me even harder. Then it all comes rushing in-the panic, the fear. The fact that they were able to invade the pack of the Rogue King and kill one of the warriors shows that they are not ordinary vampi

Serena's POVTerror overtakes me at the sight in front of me. There is a tremor in my voice. “How are you still alive?” The guard that was lying in a pool of his own blood just moments ago is now standing in front of me. The wound on his neck has stopped oozing blood-thank the goddess- but his complexion still has a deathly parlor. “Luna,” He bows low in deference to me but his voice is tight with pain. “You were dead. I saw you lying down on the ground just now. How are you-”Nicholae places a gentle hand on my shoulder. “It would take much more than a vampire bite to kill our wolves, Mea Lunaria, they are the best.” Warmth blooms in my chest at the mention that they are ‘our’ wolves. Like it is a matter that is automatic. “The poison in the vampire’s fangs just slowed his healing down. That's why he bled out so quickly.”“I apologize for upsetting you, Luna but the situation is dire. The vampires have invaded the pack.” “Status report!” He orders, his tone shifting from the g
