All Chapters of My Eternal Surrender: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ZOVADAMoments later, I walked down the corridors, designer heels clicked on the marble floors. You are my future Luna, no one can take that from you. I shook away Simon’s words, was I being too impatient? Letting my insecurities project onto him? Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the living plant wall’s flowers were limp. “Oh no!”I walked over and touched the wall. The green stalks beneath my fingers were soothing as they brought me back into myself. The more I moved things around, the more my confidence returned before I grabbed the water next to the plant. After a few moments, the flowers perked up happily. I smiled proudly and placed the water back on the shelf next to the wall. Relief flooded my senses and I chose to continue ignoring the knots in my stomach. I am not wasting my time. I do belong. Just need to be patient and have faith. My journey toward the main chambers continued, with every step, my posture straightened once more. An older Omega juggled her cleaning s

ZOVADAThe kettle screeched and yanked me out of the oversized tome I’d be lost in. I regained my breath, rubbed my temples and climbed to my feet. Legs stiff, I nearly collapsed from having been stuck in the same position for so long. With a chuckle and shake of my head I caught myself. Take better care of yourself, Zovada, or no one else will.Once I arrived at the teapot, I prepared the chamomile and mint tea with perfect ease. A splash of elderberry spritz I’d created myself to help with the immune system, stress, and calming, a splash of honey for the taste. The combination was one of my favorites I’d been testing for a while before I presented it to Luna Claudia. Today was finally the day. My gaze drifted around the room, my office could’ve been it’s own apothecary or library in its own right. Ancient tomes and research piled on, plants grown everywhere, charts and alchemy stations. Bright setting sun spilled in through the giant diamond glass windows. Propped open for fresh a

ZOVADAWith a quickened pace, I buried the unsettled emotions and made my way to the healing wing of the manse. The guards silently pulled the massive French doors open, I offered a grateful nod as I passed through, they nodded in return as the doors slammed with a loud bang. With a sigh, I took in all the fresh scents, the wing had been outfitted to look like half greenhouse, half hospital. Doctors, nurses, herbalists, and Omegas wandered the wing. All of my stress and worry melted away at an instant, even with the fear of Luna’s health looming, I still felt at ease.The Sanctuary, as I liked to call the healing wing of the Pack House, was so different. The air was lighter between the free air for the medicinal plants, the giant windows for the sun, and the secured, sterilized hospital pod areas. For me though, the best part was ….“Good afternoon, Luna Zovada.” A beautiful Omega nurse called out. I turned to her, she smiled brightly as she offered me a tray with an assortment of bev

ZOVADAThe abandoned doors of the corridor swung open, and Luna Mother Claudia stood taller, then shifted her stance. “Let’s go remind them who we are. Pretend you are in the boardroom dissecting an arrogant Alpha prick who wanted to screw the pack out of millions. You’ll be fine”My heart thundered in my chest, but I nodded and adopted her stature, my confidence returned as if I were at work. This is just another Tuesday, I got this. Her heels clicked as we proceeded and within moments we were surrounded by men in suits, I felt the energy of Gamma Corbin and Gamma Didi before they fell into step beside us, both dressed to impress in suits that modeled Gamma Margery’s. “My Luna. I got you.” Didi said with a smile. The smell of juniper and chamomile engulfed me and soothed my anxiety immediately. “Luna. You’ve finally returned.” He said gently. Then he smiled warmly at Margery. “My lovely mate. I have missed you.”“Blessed Moon! Luna Claudia! Mother!” Didi said excitedly as she typ

NORCUNISThe smell of leather, ink, and paper surrounded me. A strange balm to my otherwise overwhelmed mind. Assisted by chamomile and mint tea, the exact elderberry to honey ratio to help with the immune system, stress, and calming I desperately needed. It seemed to be one of the few things that calmed my anxiety– which was at an all time high lately for some reason. Not that I would ever tell a soul what was going on. I had a reputation to uphold. One word from me, kingdoms toppled. I conquered nearly all versions of this world.From mountains to ships, from the sea to the sky, the Earth crushed beneath my feet. My enemies are buried by my rallying cry alone. Technology, power, and wealth now bent to my will. And yet…The dreams plagued me. “Norcunis…” her voice whispered in the wind. The voice never should’ve made it to me. The voice that never should’ve cut through the noise. Yet, like a ghost, on the frequency that vibrated my soul. The sound stitched to my being….Something
