LUNITA•••Everything began in the very same place: my home. My loss, my pain and my suffering. The same home that provided me and my family shelter against the world that despised our kind, the home that made everything feel better no matter what it was we went through outside of it. Finding myself back there brought in an influx of memories, add the the sudden reappearance of a boy you thought was dead years ago and what you get is tears, uncontrollable ones that keep falling no matter how hard you tried to stop it. I’d lived all those years, my pain not reducing for a second, under the same roof as a man I detested, with the conviction that my brother was gone and that would be my life till the day I died: a life of constant misery and struggle with a man who sees me as breeding machine for his disgusting seeds.But as always, he showed up like the tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Mason. Only this time, he wasn’t just the light, he brought the entire sun to me to illuminat

LUNITA•••I never for once forgot what having a child with an Alpha meant. It was always at the back of my mind, haunting me and reminding me everyday of a fate neither I nor my innocent son could escape. “This wasn’t part of the plan, Luna.” Mason had said once when we met again. He was my brother and I loved him just as much as I loved my son but I kept Rex away from him. Call it motherly instincts but I just knew Mason wouldn’t like the sight of my son—a hybrid and one who shared the blood of our oppressors. I kept Rex away from him for both our peace but I could tell that each time I mentioned him during our meetings, it irked him until he finally spoke up that very day. “You’re forgetting everything we’re doing this for. Forgetting how far we have come, all for that child.” He’d went on to say and once again we’d argued and exchanged words and the fall out with Mason became more constant with Rex being the center of it all. His complaint ranged from me being inattentive in me

EUDORA It hit me even before he spun me around, pinned my back against the nearest wall, and reclaimed my lips in a feral manner: Alpha Rex was the one I kissed that day he regained consciousness. It was like my brain produced censors that immediately recognized the manner with which he’d claimed my lips back then and related it to the way with which he’s doing now, soaking all of me in and holding me like his life depends on it. It was as if he knew what was going through my head too because he leaned back, breathing harsh and rough on my face, eyes gleaming with mischief and a hint of something else, something dark and dangerous that made me shiver, and then he grinned knowingly. I opened my mouth to speak but his lips were covering mine again before I could say another word. I closed my eyes, my brain turning to mush and the words I wanted to say, fizzing out along with what’s left of my brain. The kiss had started off sensual, deliberate and slow when I initiated it and he’d

ALPHA REX ♠️A FEW EARLIER♠️The closer I got to that dreaded place, the tighter my heart felt. The underground dungeon was miles away from my pack and takes four hours by car which also meant that I could return home on the same day and as much as I wanted to get it over with and go back to home to my girl, I had a feeling this all can’t be over in a few hours. Questions and pains of over a decade couldn’t all disappear under a few hours so I was ready for anything. As I drove, I tried to not to think about the events that led up to my escape from that hell. Tried not to have flashes of me getting injected, drugged, hypnotized and violated in practically every painful way but it was hard not to go down memory lane. I mean, I was literally going down the lane of my pain and suffering, it would be impossible not to remember things that I have locked up in the darkest parts of my mind. Somehow, I had to find the key I’d tossed away in the dark. Eudora was the light that helped me find

ZENA*A FEW HOURS EARLIER*( In the same Timeline as Alpha Rex’s encounter with the rogue) “You’ve got to stop doing that.” Logan said, no doubt referring to me shifting and ruining my clothes in the process. I had just walked out of the corner where I’d been changing into the new set of clothing Logan managed to get after I ruined the last ones by shifting and jumping to attack our stalker who is now waiting at my behest, after saying the words that had me stunned for more than a few minutes until Logan lifted me off the man. Logan didn’t seem pleased about a lot of things but him having to run around to get me new clothes seemed to top his annoyance chart. I sidestepped him, more concerned about the man who claimed to know my mother than I was about my situationship with Logan at the present moment. He didn’t argue, he just fell into step beside me.“Where is he?” I asked, now fully dressed and heading back to the alley where I had attacked the man. We were already at the entran
