Lux It was a three-hour drive before we finally arrived at the Bloodlust pack. I hear my mom and brother murmur about how many people seem to wait for our arrival. The number of scents that I can smell is overwhelming until I smell the one scent that seems to overpower every one of them. The leather mixed with dark cherries causes Kodi to give a purring sound, and it makes my stomach erupt with butterflies at the thought of being near Apollo. It’s been a few days without him and now that I’m close to him, it’s like my whole body is on fire at the thought of being near him again. The car stops and the door is opened, and my mom is the one who exits the car first. The crowd goes mad just from seeing the majestic Luna Queen. I hear a voice that I recognize as the Beta, Michael as he says, “Everyone welcome our Luna Queen Rieka!” People scream again and then out slides Kai and Michael announces, “Our future Alpha King Kai!”I notice specifically a lot of girls cheering for him. I’m su
Silas David mind linked me after Charlotte told him why I wasn’t coming with. He absolutely chewed me out on not doing enough for her. He told me how she’s crying and heartbroken because I don’t want a relationship with her and I’m not willing to fight for her. I could hear his wolf coming out through our mind link and I know that David and his wolf were both furious with me for upsetting Charlotte. I let him get his frustrations out and then we both blocked each other, and I lied down on my bed and wondered how I ended up here. I really wanted to try with Charlotte. She seemed nice, and the mate bond drove me to want to be near her. But she prioritizes David over me. I don’t necessarily blame her, though; he is outgoing and does huge acts of love, so she knows how happy he is with her. I swear, I’ve seen a new bouquet of flowers in her room every couple of days. I see how he whispers sweet nothings in her ear and makes her blush. They will look at each other as if they are the onl
Lux We’ve been at the Bloodlust pack for three days so far. I haven’t seen Apollo as much as I would’ve thought… I guess we’re using this as a trial run for how life will be like whenever I officially live here. Nadia has been around me a lot and I appreciate her companionship, but I feel like she is just avoiding the Beta, Michael. Apparently, the two of them are mates and did not get off to the best start. I’m not entirely sure what happened between them, but all I know is that he’s trying the best he can to get near me in an effort to be around her, but she hasn’t budged on her grudge against him. I’ve tried to ask her about it, but she brushes me off. We’re sitting in my room quietly and I wonder what I should do today. Apollo mentioned nothing, so I don’t know if that means he is busy with Alpha duties or if he plans to be busy with me. When I hear a knock on the door, I can’t help the anxiousness in my chest, wondering if it’s him. But I take a deep breath and immediately rec
Silas When I arrived at the Dark Moon Pack, Alpha Zane and Luna Lilly immediately greeted me along with two of their kids, Amber and Christopher. Their other kid, Iris, is back in the Royal Pack with Calvin, her mate. Amber and Christopher are a few years older than me and, from what I’ve heard, they haven’t even tried to find their mates. They haven’t ever said why, and I’ve never been close with them to ask. Maybe this trip could change that. Alpha Zane is the one who brings me to my room, and he asks, “So, do you want to explain your impromptu trip, Silas?” He looks at me with one eyebrow cocked up as he silently questions my presence. I sigh, “I suppose you could say I’m having some troubles with my mate. I thought maybe you could help me with my decision since you’ve rejected a mate before.” His lips roll into his mouth and it’s obvious it’s something he would prefer for not to discuss. I say, “You’re the only one that I know has rejected a mate before. I need to make sure I
Nadia What were the chances that I would be mated with the Beta of the Bloodlust pack? Why couldn’t I have been mated to the Alpha like Princess Lux is? At least the Alpha seems like a caring man towards his mate, even though she has a big disability. No, I end up with the man who thinks he’s heaven on Earth because he’s a high ranked wolf in a deadly pack. And apparently, he thinks all omegas should feel honored that he chose them to be ‘intimate’ with. That’s the way we met. I was making my way around the pack house as I was learning where things were because if I’m moving here permanently with the princess, then I need to know my way around. I could hear his grunts and growls and in between them, I heard the sound of skin slapping against each other as he proceeded to screw whatever woman he was with. I guess he was being too rough with her because she asked him to slow down and he snapped at her and said and I quote this verbatim, “Don’t tell me what to do. You’re just a low
Apollo Tomorrow, Lux is supposed to go back to the Royal Pack. I’m going to follow her in a couple of days and do what I can to maintain a good relationship with her and take care of my pack. Today, I should be completely focused on her… but my dumbass Beta, Michael, called an emergency meeting in my office. I watch him as he paces back and forth in my office and he looks at me and says, “You have to help me get her to stay!”I huff exasperatedly, “Who?”“My mate! Nadia!”My eyebrows raise, so Lux’s best friend Nadia is mated to my Beta… what a small world. I ask, “She doesn’t want to stay?” He huffs, “Look, I didn’t tell you about it whenever I found out because I was embarrassed.”Intriguing… I ask, “Why would you be embarrassed?”He pulls on his hair as he admits, “She almost rejected me.”I scoff, “What? You’re joking.”He shakes his head no and takes a deep breath as he says, “She overheard me doing… well, you know.”“No, no, I don’t. I think you need to elaborate.” I say and
Silas The last meal I have at the Dark Moon pack seems bittersweet. But it’s like I told Amber and Christopher if the King and their dad allow it, then I hope to come back and come sometime soon. This visit went by way too fast. I’ve never connected with Amber and Christopher, and I realize now that the reason why is that I was so comfortable in the circle of friends that I had grown accustomed to. Being a twin, my brother and I were always close, even if we had some minor competition between the two of us. He seemed to connect more with Kai while I connected with Lux and, over time; I fell deeply in love with her. Calvin seemed to get along with every one of us, but I’m not sure who he would’ve considered himself closest to. The five of us together, though, seemed like the perfect group. Even Lux never seemed to go outside of our circle to meet other people. I know she got close with Nadia during her later teen years, but the only reason that happened is because Nadia was assigned
LuxWith every mile that we ride further away from the Bloodlust Pack, it causes my heart to hurt a little more.Leaving Apollo hurts more than I would’ve expected it to.I try not to let my hurt show on my face, but I must be failing at that because my mom pats my leg and says, “It’ll be okay, Lux. Apollo plans to come back to the Royal Pack in the next couple of days until you’re ready to make the move.”I mumble, “Yeah.”Kai mind links me, “Do you still think you’re ready?”I take a deep breath before responding to him, “It physically hurts me to be away from him. I don’t know how long I will be able to do this for, Kai.”“I support you, Lux.”It takes a couple of hours before we are back at the Royal Pack and my dad is the one who opens the door, and I can hear him and my mom saying sweet nothings about how much they missed one
