~Odessa~Doctor Kane took my right hand, positioning it carefully. "Stay, calm dear," He urged, injecting the medicine he brought into my vein. "As I told you before," He continued, "You need to take it slowly. You need not force it, it will come on its own." He spoke calmly, sharing a look with Margaret, the rate of their unspoken words resting on my shoulders.He turned, discarding the string into a small medical-container and let out a deep breath, silent as he monitored my reaction to the medicine while hiding his curiosity.And then, a satisfactory smile appeared on his face."How do you feel, Mrs Mac?" He asked."Um, my head doctor, it hurts, but I believe it will be fine. Thank you for your kindness.""I'm your doctor, it's my job to make sure you're safe, and your hundred percent well-being is my priority." He replied. I caught his eyes roll towards Margaret, hiding in it the silent words never shared. "I need to have a word with you" He finally said to her.I knew it. I kne

~Narrator's POV~That afternoon when the doctors had returned, the Luna had made sure that no one had because she called Margaret, accused her of being behind her mystery.After that sacred day, the pack continued to mourn the Luna's death. However, unknown to any other person, Margaret lived her days having at the back of her mind the command which she must obey.Months passed by and before the pack knew it, it was already six months since the Luna died and the pack elders were beginning to suggest the alpha take a new Luna.This had thrown the pack into turmoil because the alpha had refused to look at any other woman, vowing not to take another Luna for the rest of his life.He grieved so much for his late mate that he forgot he had a pack to lead.And then, during that time, Margaret was not at peace. The dream had constantly come, the dead Luna appearing in her dream and reminding her of her command.The dreams had been so vivid that Margaret felt every emotion and sensation of th

~Adrian~ I inhaled. A deep sharp breath flew into my lungs but that wasn't close to easing the pain, the rage burning inside of me. I know I craved something. Just any unlucky victim who can serve as a means of quenching this rage boiling inside of me. And I knew if I lingered any more minute in there standing and asking mother how that woman managed to get my mate's scent, someone would definitely fall victim to it, so to avoid the destruction that was jarring, I left the pack house the instant. Just as I shut the car door, I hit the highest speed voltage, wanting nothing more than to let my wolf take over me, but I couldn't. Although it was no secret in this city that the paranormals existed and lived alongside the humans, there was one rule every supernatural creature understood and that was— never reveal your true self in broad daylight. A public shifting into a paranormal form didn't just terrify humans, it also sent a clear message to every paranormal watching. I

~Adrian~"I remember she had a glass of wine. I poured it for her myself" I recalled a month ago when she was still in a coma I'd said to Derek my beta, scrolling through the videos on his laptop. Videos captured by the CCTV on the last day before the accident.Derek's expression had turned sour, a bitterness that refused to be muffled into professionalism. "And did you notice anything unusual about the wine?" He asked, aside from being my beta, Derek was a special FBI agent in the city and had offered to help me with the case.I shook my head at the absurdity of the questions, "Nothing. It was just a normal bottle of wine.""And the necklace too?""I bought it for her. I was the one who personally gave it to her." I replied, frustration gnawing at me, finding it difficult to understand what all that pointed at."That's exactly where the whole issue lies, my Alpha. Because everything is pointing down to the last thing you did with her." Derek's words came like a bomb blown right on my

~Adrian~ "As you'll have been assuming, yes it's true. Sadly, I've come to announce to the public that my daughter-in-law who has been unable to report to work got into an accident which almost claimed her life. It hasn't been easy for us these past few months. In fact, I'm the most saddened mother right now." Mother's tone came sour and bitter. "To think that my daughter-in-law will go through such pain, it has not been easy to endure because we thought that Juliana would not survive it, but thankfully she has passed through the surviving stage and has been given a chance to keep living." My grip around the phone tightened at my mother's smooth lie, so fiercely the edges creaked beneath my fingers. "I'm sure you have been wondering why my son has not addressed this issue from the beginning, but you'll also need to understand him. He's facing the most critical time in his life right now. This is a pain any family man will find hard to endure, and to protect his family it's importa
