Mercedes kept turning in her sleep and she was sweating. She was having a very vivid nightmare. What she saw was unsettling. A vicious wolf attacking her parents and to men in black. The blood that splattered covered the walls and their pleas for mercy were deafening. The nightmare she was having felt like it was something that already happened. Mercedes woke up breathing heavily. She touched her forehead and wiped the sweat off it. Her heart was pounding wildly and she looked towards the window. It was dawn already. Her thoughts lingered on the nightmare she woke up from a little while ago. Confusion swamped her mind. How come did she have such a horrifying dream? What did it mean? While she was busy asking herself questions the dots finally connected. The day she ran away from home, she left four dead bodies uncounted for. She did not what happened nor did she have any recollection of prior events. Now that she knows that it was a wolf that attacked t
Mercedes stayed locked away in her room. Everyone was worried about her and her well-being. The only one she allowed close to her was Crystal. Even so, she didn't open up about her problem to her. She kept silent and she even blocked out her wolf. She was consumed with guilt and regret. She even thought about running away and back to the human realm to report the crime she committed. She convinced herself that it was the right thing and what she deserved. Felix was anguished by the distance she put between them. He didn't understand what to do or how to reach out to her. His wolf Roland was comforting him for the first time. He tried convincing him that it was not their fault and they should give her some space until she comes around and lets them in. That too was difficult because now that he knows that she is his mate, the pull was too strong. He soon found himself marching towards Mercedes's room. He saw Crystal coming out with a tray of food. It seemed to have bee
Yesterday went better than expected. Mercedes was fine and she was not isolating herself any longer. She woke up early in the morning in a good mood and started making breakfast for everyone. It was in a way to atone for her recent behavior and for pushing everyone away from her. Now that everything was settled she felt it was time she took up her role and took care of everyone. Breakfast was a way to start. She prepared coffee, pancakes with scrambled eggs, bacon, and other delicacies. She went all out to solidify her position as the new Luna of the White Claw Pack. Her thoughts went back to when she told Felix about what happened. She thought that it would be over between him and her after that revelation. FlashbackMercedes stared at Felix anxiously as he had not said anything to her after confession and telling him her unpleasant life story. Tension rose and her heart started to beat erratically and she began t
Felix was standing by his office window staring outside. The people were roaming around minding their own and little kids were all over the place and laughter resonated in the air. There was peace and harmony. Things were going well for a while but in the pit of his stomach, he had an unsettling feeling. He had it for some time but he chose to ignore it. He didn't want to think about anything bad and jinx the newly found happiness the moon's goodness bestowed on him. Things were different now. He didn't just have his pack to look out for but he also had the one who means the world to him. As incredulous as it sounds he knew that he loved her. He just has not admitted it to himself much less to her. Mercedes was now his weakness and it made him fearful of the future. He just knew that his love for her would cloud his judgment and he would never allow himself to lose her to anything. He would fight and burn the whole world to have her until he draws his last breath. He even
Felix was left alone with his tormenting thoughts. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the other hand, he wanted to protect Mercedes and shield her from everything bad and give her the happiness she deserves and the other was to tell her the bitter and cruel reality of their fate which has no escape. According to Alexa, if he wanted to save her, he should prepare her and make sure she knows what is to come shortly. He was wondering if the Moon Goddess bestowed such a fate on them to punish him. First, she delayed him from finding his mate, and now, when he thought he could finally be happy with the one made for him, her life and their future together are in grave danger. He thought of how Mercedes was still young and had been through a lot. This was her chance to have a fresh start with a new family and a man who will protect and love her. But it seems that her struggles were not over. A bigger obstacle was upon them and for the life they wanted, they had to e
Felix and Mercedes we're sleeping soundly on her bed. Felix woke up first and was pleased to see his mate sleeping on his bare chest. Her hot breath provides him with warmth and he made sure not to move. He did not want to disturb her sleep and lose the beautiful sight he was marveling at. her hair was repealed on his chest and some of it covered his face so he pushed it behind her so he could see her face. Looking at her his thought traveled back to last night's events. He almost had all of her but with great willpower, he pulled back and stopped himself. He wanted their first time to be special. He heard her light snores and he smiled at how cute it sounded. After some time of staying still to let her sleep, she began to awaken from her peaceful slumber. Felix quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Mercedes opened her eyes to see a hard warm chest. She was startled and tried to get up from the bed but strong arms were wrapped around her and preventing h
It has been a few days later since Felix and Mercedes spent the night together. None of them made a move toward each other since then. Mercedes had been busy dutifully tending to the people of the pack. As promised, she went with a gift for the kids at the orphanage. She asked Crystal to help her bake all different kinds of cookies for the kids to have and she bought a lot of candy for them. On the other hand, Felix was secretly working on the ceremony with both Jake and Crystal's help. Mercedes was the only one left in the dark. Felix went all out and wanted that day to be an unforgettable one for Mercedes. He was excited and couldn't wait for her to see it. But before that, he planned another surprise. He wanted his wolf Roland to spend some quality time with her wolf Reina. Since the day she shifted for the first time, she never shifted again. He planned for them to go for a run in wolf form in the words and take her to his special place. He had it all planned out and a
After they all had dinner Felix and Mercedes excused themselves to go on their run as planned. While they were in the garden, Felix had asked Mercedes to go for a run in wolf form. She was reluctant at first since she only transformed once under duress but Felux convinced her that he would show get how to do it. So she agreed and that is what they were going to do. Felix grabbed an overnight backpack with blankets and some snacks. Mercedes was confused as to what it was for and Felix told her that they would not return until morning. She was still not aware of where they would spend the night but she just went along with it since he seemed to already had everything planned out. He held her hand and led her out and they made their way to the edge of the forest. Not many people were around, just a few people loitering here and there enjoying the chilly but calm evening. They walked deeper into the forest until there was nothing in sight. They stood by a tree and Felix p
