Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
I could see two little girls playing. They shouldn’t be older than 4. “Tag, you’re it!” One of the girls yelled, running. Her friend giggled, running after her. It was a fun day and the girls were still playing until they heard a loud horn, and the girls stopped playing. They know what that means. “Octavia rogues, let’s go to the basement!” The other girl, Samantha, shouted, dragging her friend with her tiny hands. Octavia quickly listened to her friend and started running. The two girls ran. They had to get to the basement fast; if not, something bad might happen to them. A member of their pack who had been looking for them earlier spotted them. “Octavia! Samantha! Run faster! Quickly get into the basement!” The middle-aged man shouted. While the girls were still running, a hand abruptly seized Samantha. “Arg!!! Let me go!” Samantha screamed, kicking her little legs and arms. Octavia turned back. Her best friend was not with her. “Samantha!” she screamed, panicking and worri
14 years later Octavia Pov “Wake up bitch” a voice said, followed by cold icy water on my body. I woke up startled. I looked at who poured me water. It was Samantha. I quickly stood up. “M.mo..morning Luna,” I said, bowing shakily. I don’t want to upset her. “Take your morning to yourself, dirty rag. My clothes need washing. I want you to wash them all with your hands. The washing machine spoils my clothes, and I want them ironed and folded. Do you understand?” She asked, glaring at me. I flinch and shakily nod my head. “Answer me when I talk to you, bitch!” she said, then she dragged my hair and slammed my head on the wall. Then, she kicked me in the ribs and threw me to the concrete floor. “O..o.ka..okay lu..na” I stammered out with tears burning my eyes. You can’t cry out, Octavia; she is going to punish you more. I thought, biting my lips in pain. “Better,” she said and walked past me while deliberately matching my hand with her 6-inch heels. I lay on the floor, cryin
Dylan POV Octavia, my mate that I rejected. Did I feel pity for her? No. Did I feel terrible about taking her best friend as my mate? No. Do I feel guilty about emotionally abusing her and letting pack members treat her like trash? Yes, yes, I do. I had a crush on her when we were younger. She was such an adorable little girl. I remember wishing she would be my mate and the moon goddess granted my wish. Then all the pack members hated her, and all my friends started insulting her. I pitied her at first, but then I started having more fun taunting her. I never raised my hands on her, but I commanded people to. When she didn’t shift, I made fun of her every chance I got. She never said a word. She never made a sound when anybody hit her. She endured it all. Samantha doesn’t know, but anytime Samantha hits her, and she leaves. Octavia looks at Samantha longingly. That is the only person she cares about. As her mate, when I taunt her, she just looks at the ground. She makes no sound, a
Octavia POV It has been an hour since I ran, and I have just been wandering around. I feel lifeless and empty. Why is my life so horrible? What did I do to deserve this? I didn’t kill those people intentionally. My father died, and I was sad about it. I don’t even expect that strange power; It just happened. I was just a kid, but those people maltreated me, abused me, starved me, made me do all their chores, called me names, and laughed at me, and now my best friend and my mate mated. She is not even my best friend. She is my ex-best friend, and he is my ex mate. I laugh humorlessly. No matter what they did to me, I still had hoped he would notice me, and I was ready to forgive if he apologized, but then he got her pregnant. All hope is lost. I have no one to call my own, not even a wolf. My life is so pathetic. I felt salty water on my lips. Then I realized I was crying. I cried more, and I felt so useless and pathetic. I saw a pond. The water is so clear and shining. I entered th
Silver POV“MATE?!” my wolf Shadow screamed. Mate? I have a mate. This shivering and shaking girl is my mate. My wolf Shadow kept on shouting, mate, while moving around in my head.“Will you chill out!!” I yelled.“Mate! mate! mate!” He kept on chanting. I rolled my eyes. He has finally lost it. I look at my mate. I can’t see her face. Her hair is covering it. I moved closer, trying to sniff her again, but she must have thought I wanted to bite her or eat her, so she started shaking more.“Pl…pleas…..” she trailed off and I noticed she stopped talking and moving. She fainted!“One of you quickly put her on my back” I mind-linked my warriors, facing them. “Umm but Alpha, she is a ro…” I cut them off, flashing my canine.“Fucking put her on my back now!” I yelled at them. They flinched.“Okay, Alpha,” Ivan said. He shifted to his human and went behind me. He placed her on my back. I adjusted her very well. I ran to the hospital and mind-linked the head-pack doctor, Doctor Agnes. “Doc
Octavia POV Beep…beep. What is that sound? I opened my eyes and looked around. Why is everything so bright and white? Am I in heaven?! I was confused. No, I’m pretty sure this is not heaven because I feel pain all over my body. I sat up, holding my head. I am starting to have a headache. I rubbed my head groaning. Then I heard the door open, and I looked up. “Oh, you are awake,” a man wearing a white coat said. “I am Doctor Agnes; what is yours?” he continued, moving closer. I panicked and started shaking. “Pl..please...let m..me g…go” I said, shaking terribly. The doctor put his hands up. “Calm down; I won’t hurt you,” he said gently, but I was far too panicking. Everyone always hurts me. I curled into a ball, rocking myself back and forth. “St..stay a..wa..away!” I yelled. Then the heart monitor started making loud noises and making me more scared. “Go away, go away!, go away!” I screamed with tears running down my face. “Nurse!! Get me a tranquilizer!” I heard a man scream.
