ShannonI sped up because I knew the first guard would return at any minute, but I wasn't really familiar with the building. I wished I had looked around more when they brought me here. But I remembered I was brought from the cell, it was situated below the ground, so if I go down, I should be able to reach Vernon. But what would I do once I got there? It was not like I could just walk in and get him out.But then again, I didn't know where I could go either. This was not my familiar place. And I should, I think I should at least let him know that I was safe. With the way I was dragged out of the cell, he must have been worried for me. Right?He did ask me to bring it back up, but who was I going to find now? I didn't think I could get out of here without being caught. I wished I put more thought and planning into this, but I just seized the opportunity when I saw it.I headed down the stairs, my footsteps were silent, but my heart was thumping so loud. But I guessed it was a good thi
ShannonI thought the Siren was for me, or for Vernon, no. They were for Mabel. Why did I know? Because the guards were clearly chasing her once they saw us!"We need to split up."What? This was not a horror movie, we didn't need to split up! But when I looked at Vernon, I could see that he didn't mean to split up like this, he was trying to lose Mabel. I thought about that day Terry chose to take Kaia and just left me there. I hated to admit it, but I was helpless. Plus, regardless of where she got the key, she still saved him. We couldn't justI shook my head to Vernon. He sighed and finally relented.We left the premises they kept us and soon found ourselves in the forest."They were keeping us on the border, we can run back to Pack House, but I think they might have already taken the place by now.""Then where can we go?""There was a safe house I have on the other side of the border, it was secretive, we could go there and join the others later."The guards were still chasing us
Shannon"Did you tell him the truth?"I thought about what I told him before I was dragged away."Yes, but he didn't take it well. He ran off after hearing what I told him."The image of someone who looked so much like Vernon and as tall as he did, running away in tears made me laugh out a little. Vernon gave me a weird look after hearing my laugh."I was just... Thinking about that's how you would look like when you run off."He laughed a little as well. The air wasn't so tense anymore."So, what do we do now? Do you know where everyone else is?""Adonis was with me when I was knocked out, but he wasn't in the same cell with us, he must be held somewhere else. I need to find him first."I nodded, I knew how important his Beta was to him."It's good that both Terry and Jayde are gone now, we only have to deal with Melvin for now.""Gone? Where did they go?"Vernon frowned at the stupidity of them both leaving during the middle of the war."I think they have gone to the treasure land,
Shannon"You said that they starve their maids?"We were treading through the woods when I heard Vernon say, he was walking in front of me to lead the way."I don't really know, but I guess she must be really hungry to steal food from me. They were just ordinary food, nothing fancy."He frowned upon hearing this, I didn't know it was for the cruelty or whatever."Do you know how they treat their captives or Pack members?""I don't know how Jayde treats his Pack members or captives. But Terry used to be nice to his Pack members, and he never abused any of his servants before. But that was a long time ago. I didn't really know what he did with his Pack after they left. And now that Kaia is his new Luna, I'm not sure if anything might have changed..."I didn't want to throw shade on Kaia, but for the love of the moon goddess, she was obviously unfit for a Luna. And Terry even refused to make her take responsibility as a Luna. I could only guess how she was doing as a Luna now."Huh. Do y
ShannonThree minutes…Just three minutes away from I got cheated on.***"Luna Shannon, Happy Anniversary. I hope you enjoy your stay here." The receptionist said as she handed the Key Card to the presidential suite."Thank you." I smiled back at her and took the Key Card from her.This was my fifth anniversary with Terry. We have been together for seven years, and married for five.Terry Steuber, my husband of five years was the Alpha of the Crescent Manes Pack, and I was his Luna. We were not fated mates but he chose me to be his chosen mate five years ago.He was this 6-foot-tall, hot, and handsome Alpha with piercing dark eyes and chiseled features. And I couldn't say I matched him that well. I was just an ordinary orphan, I didn't even know my bloodline, but I was certainly not of Alpha blood. I was a mere warrior. Yet he chose me to be his Luna, to help him run the Pack beside him. And we worked great together.He didn't treat me differently because I wasn't his fated mate, he l
Shannon"Don't force me, Shannon."Force him? He said he would reject his fated mate for me if he ever met her! I hesitated when he asked me to marry him because I knew I wasn't his fated mate, and I knew he might meet his fated mate later, however small the chance was, I didn't want to risk it. So he promised me he would reject his fated mate. But now, from the looks of it, he didn't want to."Do I need to remind you what you promised me when you asked me to marry you? You said you would reject your fated mate for me on any given day. Why are you backing out now?"I paused to look at his expression, and it seemed like he did remember what he promised me before. I decided to give him a final push."Well you can't have both, it's me or her. Take your pick now."Still, he refused to choose between me and Kaia. Did he really think that he could have both? I looked at him intensely, his face was solemn, and his frown was deep. His fist was clenched tight, his nostril flared from his heavy
ShannonAfter what I said about only one Luna, the air became tense. I couldn't take it anymore. And it seemed like they weren't going to discuss what they were going to do when the Moonhunter arrived.So I left when everyone was busy congratulating Alpha Rafael. As I started to make my way to my shared home with Terry.Before we got married, we both lived in the Packhouse. As our wedding day near, he made me close my eyes and led me to a brand new house he bought."Do you like it? It looks empty now, but you can decorate it however you want. I want this to be your home, our home." He held both of my hands in his. The way he looked at me, it was like I was the only woman in this world."Of course I like it! I love it! Thank you, Terry, thank you for giving me a home."I couldn't help but lean in to give him a kiss, he held the back of my head, deepening the kiss."So, lady of the house, do you want to decorate the house so we could move in faster?" He said, a little breathless from th
ShannonKaia immediately ran towards Terry, she dug her perfectly manicured nails into Terry's arm, shaking him frantically to make him snap out of his trance."What are we going to do?" She asked, her voice laced with panic.Instead of reacting to the situation we had on our hands, Terry got up and started to comfort Kaia, he told her everything was going to be alright. But I really doubt that.Anyway, I had to do something."Go call all the warriors." I quickly told the maid, and she nodded and then headed out of the room.I got up and was about to rush to the Pack House, Terry and Kaia followed suit.When we almost reached the door of the House, I saw Darryl was heading our way as well."Alpha Terry, Luna Shannon, I was about to..."I raised my hand to stop him."We already know, we need to gather the Warriors now," I instructed.and Darryl nodded to follow my order, but before he could mind-link the Warriors, Terry spoke."Darryl, take Kaia to somewhere safe." He ordered while wra
