I lay on the ground, the searing pain coursing through my body was almost unbearable. Each breath felt like a struggle, as if my very life force was slipping away, leaving me on the precipice of death.Logan’s large, and visibly angry wolf’s throw had sent me hurtling through the air, crashing into the unforgiving floor with a bone-jarring impact. My heart stubbornly beat, a reminder that the will to survive still burned within me, even as everything else seemed to be spiraling out of control.My blurry eyes caught onto Logan who was now fully naked in all his glory which I am thankful for: I’m not seeing his large wolf around anymore. His eyes seemed to have tuned down from angry mode, back into its Teal colors. He ran towards me with a teary-eyed and regretful expression, I could barely find the strength to respond. The pain was all-consuming, drowning out the sound of the world around me. “Morana . . . Morana, it’s me. Wake up!” Unlike earlier, I had no more strength to even simp
The mirror emitted smoke from its sides, reaching out for my nostrils which soon aired a cough out of me. My eyes stung and I wave my hand to the air, trying to whip it off in front of my face.“What . . .” I eye one last whiff of that fog moving away before my gaze lowered to what its absence revealed. Behind all that smoke was a large moving image of Dark Moon Pack, just seconds as I was passing away. It’s as if I’m seeing it from another person’s point of view, as though I’m standing from the crowd witnessing my own self dying afar.“Watch, Morana.” The divinity uttered from behind me.I felt a lump forming inside my throat, not believing an ounce of what I was seeing right now. “Is this—” I turn to the Moon Goddess only to be met with her absence. I look around the massive place but she was nowhere to be seen.Slowly and in tremor, I whip my head back to the scenery in front of me. The Dark Moon Pack, the pack house, and the familiar feeling of fear crawling back to me as I succu
“Are you sure you’re okay?” I felt a hand touch me from behind and a shriek instaneously came out of my mouth out of the frustration that’s been clawing inside of me ever since I realized the situation I’m in.Oh shit, I did not just sound like that.It sounded like a hoarse male groan in high pitch.Silence reigned in the room after that. Not one of the guests dared to speak. Everyone was frozen solid on their spot as they look at me with questioning eyes. “Ahem, I-I mean—” I cleared my throat, glowering at everyone like how I imagined a man would react if he ever finds himself annoyed with too many people. The most fortunate thing about this is the fact that I’ve grown surrounded with so many guys to know how they behave all too well to fuck this up. Or so I hope.“What I mean is step back.” I growl at the woman who touched me from behind. She looked worried earlier, yet a tinge of coyness tainted her touch, making it even more gross than it is. I step away from the crowd, across
Life is like a game show hosted by the deities, where the rules change every round. You don’t know where you’ll find yourself the next day, or if you’re even alive to witness it. All I thought was I was going to die on the hands of the man I love like a dramatic play you’d often see on highschool musicals.Who would have thought I’d be looking at my own body, maneuvered by the man I loathed, so much I wished for him to experience the pain I’ve gone through.I stare at the same pair of Auburn eyes, long black hair, and a body that could demean those women in the world beauty pageants — that’s what I was partially known for: my beauty.That’s myself, walking towards me, but it’s not me. The situation was failing to wrap around my head. I couldn’t help but pinch my arm to wake me up. Of course, anyone seeing themselves walking towards them would think it’s all just one fucked up dream. However, as if humoring me even more, strong muscular arms met my fingers just as I was about to pin
Being cast aside by the entire pack and my husband after dedicating my life to this pack wasn’t in any of my plans. All just because of the real mate’s arrival. She took everything I worked hard for in the palm of her hands. My reputation, the entire pack, and my husband. Now, I’ve planned to sever everything, yet how did it come to this? “I want you to suffer as I did, to feel the pain as if they were your own; every agonizing second of it.” I smirk as my throat stings, coughing up more blood. Tears streamed down my husband’s bloodshot eyes, a satisfaction I never expected I’d feel at my dying moments. “N-no! I’m sorry, please . . . Please I’ll be good, okay? I’ll chabge.” he held me close to his trembling chest, his sobs reverberating through the air — the last I breathed in before I gave in to death’s arms. Or so I thought. “Do you really want him to feel the same pain you endured?” The blinding light asked. It was no doubt, The Goddess. “Yes.” I answered before I felt my
Shivering, I still tried to cover my swelling cheeks. Everyone looked at the Alpha and his now supposed-to-be mate on the floor as he tended to her in front of the entire pack. I sucked in a breath before turning towards everyone, their eyes were all over them. A lump formed in my throat which I tried to swallow down, together with the tears that were threatening to fall.No, it can’t just be like this. Why is he with her? He’s mine! I’m the one he loves!My breath was getting ragged as I turned towards the pack warriors. “What are you guys doing? Pull the Alpha away from her!” I growled at nobody but everyone in the room. Everyone looked at me hesitantly before turning their eyes back to Alpha Logan and his mate, and yet no one dared to move.They were too afraid to mess with the Alpha’s current state. He looks like he’s ready to rip everyone to shred once they get close enough.“Can’t you see? He’s bewitched! This-this woman has done something to him!” I shouted once more, pointing
I raised my gaze towards Logan, his eyes brimming solemnly. He was thinking. I always knew that the look on his face means that he’s deep in thought. “What do we do?” Beta Vincent asked. His gaze shifted between the two of us. Logan stood up from the bed and turned towards his Beta. “Who is she, really?” He muttered unknowingly.Goosebumps rose in my skin at the power I didn’t know she had. She was an Alpha’s daughter, afterall.It seems to me that the Goddess is doing her best to pair the two of them together. I instantly shake the thought out of my head. “But—” we both turned to Beta Vincent, a contemplating look on his face. “We’re going to fight back, right?” His eyes searched mine, looking for certainty. I looked away.“Everyone—all the warriors in Dark Moon Pack are willing to fight for us! We can’t just let them trample everyone down with this simple threat.” Vincent added, justifying his words. I stared at him, patriotism in his eyes. “Vincent . . .” I mumble, my heart warm
“Logan! Let her go!” Vincent’s voice was starting to get blurry. I hold onto Logan’s large hand wrapped onto my neck. I was starting to lose my breath and black dots were starting to appear in my vision.“Whoever dares to lay a hand on her deserves nothing but death!” He growled loudly. I close my eyes as another tear fell. This time, it wasn’t due to the fact that I’m being strangled to death, but to the words that pierced my heart more than anything that could hurt right now.He’s really going to kill me.Is this the fate I was destined to? Nothing special but death? I once found solace in the belief that love comes in different forms, and perhaps my purpose lies elsewhere, away from the constraint of a love that wasn’t mine to begin with.But seeing this now, I guess there was no actual hope of me being really happy. I shut my eyes tight, as a lone tear fell, the final breath leaving my lungs. Everything feels heavy despite myself being away from the restraint of the ground.Vin
