Kirsch's POV
Everyone has a deep, dark secret.
Mine was Taran, a silver rogue I secretly kept in the pack.
He was my Alpha and I was his only beta, until he turned rogue.
He only shifted after he turned 15, but was instantly recognized by the pack bond as the new Alpha. He was a late boomer, and also the most powerful wolf I had ever known.
But he was cursed.
We had always known there was something off with his wolf. On the first new moon after he shifted, his wolf went rabid. I shifted for the first time on that night. I was only 12 back then.
I fought him and we were both badly injured, but at least we kept the secret to ourselves. He went rabid on every new moon, and we had kept that secret successfully for a while, until I turned 18 and claimed him as my mate.
I tried to fight it, but the mate's pull was driving me crazy. He had to let me mark him, but then him staying in the pack bond became torture to me because C

Willa's POV The Alpha had a sad look as he stood where he was, not moving long after we left. "Maybe staying in this pack IS a bad idea," Granny mumbled to herself. I couldn't believe granny said that. She was the one who wanted a home here! "Granny, why are you so upset about a rogue? There are always be rogues around packs." I panted as I tried to keep up with granny. She was basically running. "Do you think the Alpha is capable to defeat him? You saw how powerful that beast is!" Granny was shivering again. "It's not like the Alpha has to fight the beast himself. He got the most powerful pack." I laughed. Granny's steps slowed down. "What if the beast attacks us on the new moon?" Granny frowned. "Funny how you mentioned the new moon, it's in less than two weeks. If we leave, we would have to deal with it packless!" I shook my head in disbelief. I had never seen granny so shaken up, and we had faced rogues throughout our lives
Willa's Pov "I'm Natasha, the Beta of The Gemini Crescent. The alpha won't see you, and you are leaving the pack, right now." The woman claimed with a condescending look. "The beta"? Ethan was also a beta. Why did Natasha make such a weird claim? The smirky-looking guy from earlier was by her side. He grabbed our flask from the table with a despised look: "What the hell are you doing in here?!" "I'm just boiling some water, beta." Granny watched his move with cold eyes, but she didn't let anger take control. "Freak." James murmured, putting down the flask, "Pack your things and leave." "Get your filthy hand off the things in here!" Natasha came and grabbed my collar before I could leave the couch. She threw me on the floor with fury in her eyes. Now I WANTED to join the pack, just so I could annoy Natasha. "The Alpha promised to take us in. Can you tell us why are you suddenly giving a different command, beta?" Granny a
Willa's POV "Clean it up in here." The Alpha said coldly before he grabbed my wrist and led me to a room on the first floor. Granny and Natasha followed us. James got on with it right away while Ethan attended to the table. "Natasha, go and clean the mess you made," The Alpha turned before we reached the door of the study. "I have to talk to you," Natasha said in a haste. "I know what you want to say, and no, it won't change my decision. Now, go!" Alpha Kirsch Alpha Kirsch's eyes glimmered. I flinched at the sudden dominating vibe, and Natasha stiffened. He used the Alpha Aura. It inflict pain and no member of the pack could resist it. Natasha turned around stiffly and left. He opened the door for me, hinting me to go in. I hesitated and glanced at granny. She nodded. I followed the Alpha into the room, having no idea what to do now. I didn't have my potion. "Did she choke you?" Alpha Kirsch kept his distance th
Willa's POV I stared into his eyes in fear, couldn't get my head around. How could he even know visiting the sea was my plan. Could he really read thoughts?! "Yes, Alpha," I muttered, and in my head, countless plans of visiting the sea were already forming. "Good." He nodded, "Any other questions?" "Can you read minds?" I blurted, only to realize that it was dangerous of me to ask him if he was. But I needed to make sure my enemy wasn't telepathic if my sole plan was to hide things from him? He stared at me for a moment before he laughed: "That would be cool." He was really handsome when he smiled. He stood up and got an empty glass from a tray on the cabinet before he handed it to me with an apologetic look, "This part might be a little uncomfortable." I took the glass, feeling a little stunned. This was the part I hated the most in pledging. The alpha gets your blood into his system and completes the p
Willa's POV When I woke up it was already late at night. I was in a cozy bedroom. Granny was sitting on the chair by the bed. "Granny!" I jerked up in bed, only to have darkness consuming the world again. Head rush... "I asked him if we could live in the forest, but he refused." Granny came and sat on the bed, taking me into her arms as my head spun fast. Turned out the Alpha gave us an old two-story house downtown. Close to everything, furthest to the border. Granny wasn't happy because we always lived by the edge of the pack. It was easier to escape when cases like with Liam happens. Meaning if I let my secret out, we'd have the least chance to make out of the huge pack before they kill us. "The alpha gave you the first week off, to settle down." Granny stroked my hair and took away the glass. "From training? I can train, it's fine." I shrugged. I didn't want to get special treatment, because it only meant attention.
Willa's POV "No! Your wolf WILL wake up! That's not what I meant, silly!" Granny took me into her arms and patted me on the back, "I promise!" I stared long into granny's eyes before I relaxed. It was my deepest fear. "You scared me! Why are you asking me all these weird questions all of a sudden!" I wiped my tears as I protested, "You told me to stay away from alphas!" "I'm sorry I scared you, Willa...Everything will be fine, I promise." Granny stroked my back, tightening her hug as she put my head in her neck. Her hug gave me security. I lost count of how many times I had escaped death by hiding in her arms. Granny NEVER talked about mate with me before Liam. And all of a sudden it was all she could think of?! Granny never discipline me on any horrible decisions I made, but there was ONE thing that she insist on. No boys, no sex. As if anyone would even like me if I WAS open to relationships-- I was th
Taran's POV I was the cursed wolf, the one that moon goddess couldn't pair with a mate. I had accepted my fate a long time ago. I found my mate today. Sometimes we hunt under the snow mountain where few people went to. All of a sudden Cerberus picked up a scent and started running crazy. Cerberus was my wolf. He finally stopped after dashing into a meadow, and I saw the cutest girl I had ever laid my eyes on. She was in a red cloak. [Mine!] Cerberus growled impatiently. It was the first time I lost control over him in years. But I understood why. He had been waiting for his mate even when I had lost all hope. But the horrified look on her face froze my blood. She was afraid of me. Of course she was afraid of rogues, and that included me. Cerberus felt hurt when she charged at us and I barely managed to pull him away. I fled the pack, not sure what to make of it. I wasn't supposed to have a mate.
Willa's POV "I'm really sorry!" The man blurted, turning around with his back turned to me. For real?! I had a knife in my hand and he just turned around? I could have hurt him! I wrapped my cloak around myself, but it only reached half my thigh. I hugged the cloak tight with one hand, so I had to take my knife in the wounded one. "Who are you?!" I blushed as I called to him. He turned around cautiously, eyes darted to my knife. Was he a rogue?! That was my first thought. I sniffed the air slightly, but unlike rogues, he smelt clean and fresh, like autumn aspens after a thunderstorm. The moon cast a soft shine on him as if he was the center of the world. His dirty blonde hair was messy on top with an undercut, and the long fringe curled a little by his eyes. He was in a white shirt, but he didn't bother to button up to the highest one. I didn't allow my eyes to stop on his bare chest for too long, but I did see
