“I-I’m telling you, Jane has crossed the line this time! And don’t use that tone on me, Logan!” I demanded before excessively pulling onto his hand, trying to yank it away from my collar.He pushed me even more onto the wall and I instantly gasped in air when I felt the knuckles of his fist digging deep into my chest. This is no difference to strangling me!“Lo-logan, she’s hurting. Please stop it. I-I’m okay . . .” Jane caressed her mate’s arms, clinging onto him with tears glistening in her eyes.I caught Jane’s look and with a small smirk on her lips, she met my gaze before it quickly turned pitiful, as though she’s sympathetic to the situation I’m in.“I-I have evidence, Logan! She really told everyone that—” My rambles were instantly halted when Logan spoke with a dangerous tone, “What the hell happened to your lips?” I dropped onto the ground, clutching the fabric of my crumpled collar as I looked up at my husband whose eyes were on another.He held Jane’s face in both of his pa
“Stress is like a revolving door. Just when you think you’ve escaped, another wave comes crashing in.” I haven’t found that statement of my dad so agreeable until now. For three days after the racking episode of “how to kill Morana Everette through an invisible three degree burn”; I was cooped up in my bed, basically surviving and regenerating the wilted strength the fire has left me with.Much to my expectations, Neither Logan nor any sight of Jane knocked on my door for the last seventy-two hours to bother visiting and give me at least an apology bouquet that would make up for the shit they’ve put me through.Not that it would have earned them my forgiveness.I don’t think I’d ever feel something other than disappointment for the two of them anymore. The only resentment left in me is channelized towards the Moon Goddess for this sick love triangle she’s put me through.If it wasn’t meant to be in the first place, why would she even let Logan and I have it for three years straight?
Omegas and pack officials squandered around carrying all kinds of stuff that would be needed in an office renovation as though redoing the entire place off any visible remnants that I ever once ruled this place. Books, new shelves — they even added a brand spanking fresh table coated in vibrant pink paint. I’m sure Jane ordered that.My brows furrowed and I could feel my entire face creasing at the sight of everyone hustling around to attend to the most useless orders. What the hell is Jane doing?I avoided going into this wing for a few weeks now, thinking they’d probably do a good job introducing what needs to be done towards Jane. They looked determined, kicking me out of my place, completely devoting themselves to the thought that Jane would take over soon and this was the most beneficial decision to be made for the pack.I stopped one of the Omegas who was about to walk past me. Despite myself being the only one who was standing still, they were still too busy to notice who the
One second can be a catalyst for a paradigm shift, where the veil of certainty is lifted and we come face to face with the harsh reality that we were mistaken all along.One second was all it took for me to crumble down when Logan’s words took an intensive U-Turn. “What the fuck is this?!” The papers in his hand were recklessly torn in half and I felt the calloused edges of the documents on my skin as Logan threw everything to my chest like it was all my fault.Seeing the fury of her mate not actually directed towards her, Jane rushed towards Logan once again, latching back her arms to his own. The gag rose up in my throat faster than light by how desperate she looks.Logan’s uproar had me glancing back at him. “You were given the position to do your job properly, Morana. What do all these documents mean?! Are you still rebelling because of the Luna Game?” He rubbed the bridge of his nose as stress slowly ate his reasoning. I can’t believe this shit.“Don’t you understand? Your mat
We often deceive ourselves into thinking we’re over something until life throws a curveball, reminding us that wounds can still be very tender.“I feel like I’m not ready to take on the responsibility of being a father just yet.” “I’m just concerned about the impact a baby would have on our relationship, it’s tedious.” “We should focus on the pack for now, having a newborn would shift our focus from what’s more important right now.” I could still hear Logan’s voice clearly in my head as though he just said those excuses yesterday.“I-I have a baby inside me, that was why I couldn’t take care of the pack properly.” She stammered, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.Once again, I felt the depth of the floor eating me up, the literal meaning of rock bottom was happening to me right now. Gagging and panting at my own breath, I look up at Logan, staring at the reaction I so longed to see from him if he ever heard the news of a baby coming.Our baby.I shook at the thought and focus
“What is this meeting about?” I asked one of the pack members who just stepped out of her room to attend the meeting. Everyone else was stepping out of their doors, lining down the stairs towards the lounge.“I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s related to Miss Jane’s pregnancy, she’s afterall, stirring up the entire pack because of the news—” unaware who she was talking to, she slowly turns, the enthusiastic look on her face after tattling instantly falls down into shock before fear as he sees the group of pack warriors behind me.“I-I . . . I’m sorry, Luna!” She bowed down, her hands trembling. I smiled, the authority I feel with the title I’m called slowly fleeting. I place a hand on her shoulder and she raises her head.“It’s fine.” I mutter before turning away from her to the lounge. It didn’t take long though before her mouth had to run after I marched off for a couple of meters.I sometimes think people around here forget that we’re wolves, blessed with high senses that would hear t
They say the greatest power is often simple patience. I wish I could empathize with that, because right now, I have none. I want nothing more than to get out of this place, to these eyes that’s staring me down so much, I could feel myself being buried on the ground from their heavy gazes — a sentiment I currently share. If the floor opens up for me, I’ll gladly jump in.“R-really?” Jane murmured, genuinely confused at my sudden proposal. She was the first to break the silence, and this was the first I’ll be thankful to her for. I flash a constricted smile which must have looked like something you’ll see from someone having troubles in the toilet. “Yes, I . . .” I glance up at Andy and Logan as I figure out a reason plausible enough that they wouldn’t think I’m planning something sabotaging. The two were fortunately too shocked at me to even continue over with their fight. Now, it’s only me who’s in deep shit, I guess.I look back at Jane, scratching the back of my head ever so subt
There is certain magic when the missing puzzle piece appears, filling you with the sense of hope that everything will be alright. That’s how the arrival of Beta Vincent feels like right now. An addition to the only family I have left which I’m certain would back me up at every step I take.He was with me when I climbed to the position of Luna, when I became the Luna, and now that I’m no longer Luna — sort of.Vincent was second to the Alpha for a reason, and with a sense of duty within him, he led me up the circle, leveling with him. He always wore a serious facade, his sharp mind a hidden gem that effortlessly taught me the secrets to maneuvering complex paperwork. How to lead a pack with an ironclad determination, and to win against all oppositions.My success was largely owed much to his teachings when I was still on my way to the Luna position against everyone else.George, Logan, and I stood on the side, meters away from the large helipad.The helicopter slowly landed down carr
