GINA’S POVThe woman who knelt in front of me was my mother. After feeling like I had lost her, I was happy to find her again. Her beauty was accentuated by a radiant white light as she gently cradled her pregnant stomach.Determination coursed through me as I reached out to touch her with outstretched hands. To my surprise, I was able to place my hand on her shoulders.But something wasn't right. Touching her should have given a sense of solace but what I got was the opposite. Her touch seared my skin with an intense heat. Desperation welled up as I cried out, trying to pull back as a burning agony streamed through me, but my hand couldn't come off. It felt like it was glued to her skin.The White light that surrounded her began to wane, succumbing to an ominous darkness that enveloped us both. I could still see perfectly in the darkness as she raised her head, revealing eyes that glowed an unsettling crimson color. A feral snarl escaped from her lips as she revealed razor sharp tee
I wasn’t too gloomy the next day, but my mind was still clouded with concerns and constant worrying. Wilona had suggested I scrap training today to get some rest, but I declined. She was surprised at my determination to work.I even surprised myself. I hadn’t seen Devyn since the meeting and I could he hadn't been in the house too because I would’ve felt his presence—as crazy as that sounded. I figured it was because he had marked me that I was able to feel this way. I didn't like it though, but It’s not like I could make the feeling go away.Liam was glad to see me in training today. He had been worried about me but I assured him I was doing fine. He apologized too for the kidnap, but I assured him that it wasn't his fault. He had tried to stick by my side through out the meeting that day but I didn't let him. I was only taken away because of my carelessness.Training was less difficult than it was because this time, I actually put my whole mind and body into it. Liam had tried to
I woke up to my muscles aching even more than I thought they could and rising from the bed proved challenging, but my hunger fueled my determination. After I was all freshened, I stepped out of my room, greeted by the enticing scent of chicken wafting through the air. Having Lucia around was truly an underrated blessing.I breathed it in the scent like it was fresh air and my stomach grumbled loudly. Devyn was somwhere in the house — I could feel his presence, and I felt my heart flutter at the thought of him.I hadn’t seen him since I was kidnapped, and as absurd as it sounded, I missed his presence.Pushing back the thoughts of him at the back my mind, I set forth on my mission to get some food in my stomach. As I made my way downstairs, the familiar voices of Wilona and Liam could be heard as they were discussing. Their conversation sounded heated, piquing my curiosity and I suddenly got the urge to eavesdrop. I tiptoed down the stairs, their voices getting clearer the closer I
Since my encounter with Devyn, I hadn’t left my room or even tried to eat anything. Lucia had repeatedly knocked on door, pleading with me to eat, but I ignored her. I had expected Devyn to show up at some point, but he never did. I was relieved, although I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment each time Lucia’s knock didn’t turn out to be his. Wilona and Liam hadn't come to visit either, and that was for the best because I was still mad at them and wouldn’t be able to control my words.I felt defenseless and the reality that I couldn't do anything weighed heavy on me. Running away would be pointless, as I’d still get caught, or worse, kidnapped or killed by potential enemies.I was starting to think the lather was the better option.I hadn't had any dreams or visions of any sort, leaving me alone with nothing but my thoughts and an overwhelming sense of loneliness and emptiness. As morning arrived, the sun’s rays began to seep into the room. Annoyed, I left my bed and
DEVYN’S POVThe wedding was planned to take place tonight, set against the moonlit Park beneath the full moon. Members of the pack who were deemed to attend were free to, and those who didn't were allowed to make a choice. It wasn't just a wedding, it was also a ceremony to appoint Gina as the Luna of the park. It wasn't something a lot of people would agree on due to her being part-human, but she was also the sacred wolf, and that was enough reason.Since the day she barged unexpectedly into my room, our paths hadn't crossed again. She had seen my scars that day, a reminder of my painful past. The scars were a permanent testament to my actions. It was a burden I would carry with me for the rest of my life, a reminder of my sins.She had seen my vulnerable side, the side of me that made me human, and I hated that she did. The concern etched on her face when she saw the scars had triggered an unexpected response from my wolf, urging it to cower and hide. The last thing I wanted anyon
GINA’S POVI focused on steadying my breath as I stood in front of the mirror, surrounded by unfamiliar women. I wore a long, tight-bodiced white dress that flowed gracefully to the ground. It didn't quite look like a wedding dress, but it served the part.A young woman adorned my hair with a crown of white flowers, as my hair flowed down to my waist. As I looked in the mirror, the reflection of the bride stared back at me. Her amber eyes held an unspoken sadness, yet the woman in front of me exuded undeniable strength. I braced myself for what was to come, then maybe after all this, my life would be back to normal.The elderly woman recited the vows I was going to say. I echoed her words, careful not to falter. It wasn’t just a wedding, it was a ceremony to make me the Luna of the werewolf pack. Praya had explained that to me. Everything about this was strange and hard to comprehend.The door creaked open, and relief washed over me at the sight of Praya. We have become closer ever
Gina lay on my king sized bed, her petite frame barely filling half of the space. Her dishelved hair covered her face, her lips parted, and eyelids fluttering. I had carefully helped her out of her dress, leaving only her thong. Her chest rose as she breathed lightly, looking like an angel as she slept.I had tried covering her naked body with the duvet, but she kept shifting in her sleep, unintentionally exposing her body. She looked so fragile that I almost felt bad for her. Guilt lingered within me as I remembered biting her to hard, drawing blood in the process. I couldnt forget the betrayed look in her eyes; realizing that she would never trust me.I didn’t need her to anyways.The necklace Diana had given me rested in my hand. I had successfully infused her blood in it, all that was left was to place the necklace around her neck. Moving quietly to avoid waking her, I neared her, savoring the gentle warmth of her breath on my face. I got distracted as I admired her. Her features
GINA’S POV I was stronger. I could feel it in my blood, pumping through me with every passing heartbeat. And to think this happened after the marriage. I couldn't help but wonder if the new strength came from Devyn’s bite. Mates share emotions, strengths, and even weaknesses. Ironically, As our bond grew stronger, tolerating him became increasingly difficult. I recalled the punch I gave him the other night and a smirk began to creep on my face.He deserved it. And so much more. “You seem happy this morning,” Praya interrupted, snapping me out of my thoughts. “I actually feel happier; I don’t know why.” She settled beside me on the bench, “Well, you’re our Luna now, the mother of our pack. Our happiness pars with yours.” I gaped at her, a shocked expression on her face, “That sounds fascinating and terrifying at the same time, being considered as the mother of werewolves,” a chill ran through me, making me shudder. “You’ll get to used to it, don’t worry.” Liam appeared, his t
