*Zander*The tension crackled in the air as Damon's accusing words pierced through the atmosphere. "See, you made our mate run!" he accused me, his voice laced with anger and frustration."She is not your mate," I snapped back, my own emotions boiling beneath the surface. "And you made her upset and run, you asshole."Damon's eyes flared with fury, and he took a menacing step forward. "Don't dare to disrespect me in my kingdom and my palace and think you can get away alive," he threatened, his voice low and dangerous. But I didn't flinch at his words. I damn care about his threat. "You think you can threaten the Alpha king?!" I challenged, my voice rising with authority. "Your territory or mine, it doesn't matter because I only need my two bare hands to rip your head apart from your body, and you'll be dead," I declared boldly, Lyon surfacing and trying to take over me to show him who the true alpha was. “You want to see who is the king!” Damon roared, baring his teeth and picking u
*Zander*“My alpha, this seems to be just an altar and nothing special about it. Are you sure we could get some links about it from the past and that it’s worth our time?” Maddox asked.I understood his curiosity and confusion because what I could feel was beyond what he could see. I knew I felt a connection with this altar as if every stone on its wall wanted to tell me something.“Yes, Maddox, I am very sure. I need to know what other secrets it’s hiding,” I admitted, affirming my resolve.“Okay, my alpha, let’s leave this place. I will send a sample and information about it to our research team. I’m certain they will uncover everything about it,” Maddox assured.“No, I won’t leave without Selena, Maddox. My instincts are telling me that something is about to happen and she isn’t safe here,” I declared, the restlessness still lingering in my chest.“But she is the true descendant of the moon goddess, and no one can harm her,” Maddox said, looking at me as if I had lost my mind. “She
*Zander*As I was talking to Seer, my eyes suddenly fell on the altar. The top stone abruptly changed its color, emitting a beam of red light that shot straight into the distance. My eyes followed the path and I saw the light fall on dense bushes.I handed the phone back to Maddox without finishing our conversation, as this event had me strangely intrigued, and I walked towards the bushes."Alpha, where are you going?" Maddox was hot on my heels."Look at this, Maddox," I said, pointing to the beam of light falling on the bushes. "There's something there, and I need to find out what it is." Maddox didn't argue.As we reached the bushes, the light suddenly faded, making the corner darken abruptly.“What the fuck just happened?” Maddox groaned. "This place is full of puzzles and I still think we should find Luna and leave immediately," he mumbled as advice."Maddox, you wait here and let me see what is behind these bushes," I said as I stepped forward."Wait, Alpha, I can't let you go a
*Zander*As the figure emerged from the shadows, the whole picture became clear. The golden trident in his hand was proof that his intentions were far from good.“So, this was a trap for me,” I challenged, raising my head with pride.“I don’t have a problem with you, Alpha. But you were the one who tried to take my mate and started this. Your curiosity has led you to your grave,” Damon mocked, snorting and gesturing around with his arms.“And you call yourself a king?” I taunted. “Attacking from the shadows like a coward.”“Zander, I am nothing like you, and your provocations won’t work on me,” Damon scowled smugly.“That’s right, you are nothing like me. I have Alpha blood and am a real man, not a coward who lacks moral values,” I snarled, baring my teeth.“Moral values?!” he laughed mockingly. “Are you fucking serious, Alpha Zander? What will I get from moral values? They won’t even bring me victory,” he added arrogantly.“A victory is not a victory until it is earned through true s
*Selena*"Why would I marry your daughter?" I heard a deep, sexy voice emanating from my father's office."If you meet her, you will like her. She is pretty and has been training to be a good and perfect Luna. She would be a perfect wife and mate. She is a very calm and obedient girl," my father's voice pleaded, and I couldn't help but wince at his words.Which daughter was he talking about? My younger sister, Anne, was only fifteen – he couldn't possibly be considering marrying her off already, right? The acceptable minimum age for werewolf marriages was sixteen. So, it dawned on me that they must be talking about me, as I had turned eighteen just last month."Still, Alpha Albert, I don't buy your words. Why would I marry a wolfless girl just to make this filthy alliance with your pack?" The same deep, husky voice responded with arrogance.Alliance?!Curiosity gnawed at me as I tried to decipher the situation. Who was this man who seemed so dismissive of my father's offer, yet held su
*Selena*He took me on a romantic candlelight dinner date. He had the entire restaurant exclusively booked for us. He gently held my hand, his lips pressing softly against the back of my palm, sending shivers down my spine. My body ignited with a new, electrifying sensation, leaving me breathless and longing for more. With a courteous gesture, he guided me to our table and pulled out a chair, displaying chivalry and grace. We sat in silence as the waiters served our meal."Why do you want to marry me?" I asked timidly, observing him eat his meal with an effortless grace as if doing a favor on food. "Because you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he replied, his tone cool and matter-of-fact as if discussing such matters was a mundane routine for him.I nodded subtly."Umm... What about your wolf? Will he accept me?" I shot another question."Lyon has already accepted you. You don't need to worry," he assured me, his focus still on his meal, as though the subject didn't wa
*Selena***One year later.**"Congratulations, Luna! You're pregnant!" The doctor's words kept ringing in my mind, filling me with joy as I made my way to my mate, the Alpha King's office, to tell him the good news.After many tries, I was finally going to have my Alpha's pup. Zander and I had wanted a baby for so long since we had mated. But every time I got pregnant, it ended sadly with heartbreaking miscarriages, losing my precious pups.This time, when I realized I had missed my periods, I decided to keep it to myself. I didn't want Zander to go through the pain and disappointment of another loss.I kept my pregnancy hidden from everyone, waiting for the right time. It wasn't until three months had passed that I went for a check-up, hoping for good news. When the doctor confirmed that the baby was growing healthy and strong, tears of happiness flowed from my eyes. I couldn't contain my joy, rushing to share this incredible news with my mate.I was going to knock on the door, but my
*Selena*A grand conference had descended upon the Moonglow pack, nestled in the heart of the North. Known far and wide as the largest and most prestigious pack, it stood under the rule of none other than the Alpha King himself, Zander Blake. Alphas from every corner of the world converged upon this sacred ground, drawn by the significance of the gathering. And at the helm of it all, leading the congregation, was the formidable figure of Alpha King Zander Blake.I wiped away my tears, summoning the strength to compose myself. Taking a deep breath, I hurried towards the conference hall. The pain of betrayal made it challenging to drag my weary body forward. Tears persisted, blurring my vision and momentarily blinding me. Nonetheless, I fought against them, pushing them back."Luna Queen, I'm sorry, but you can't enter. The conference has already begun, and I've been instructed not to let anyone in," the guard pleaded, attempting to prevent me from entering. However, as the Luna Queen,
