Eero's perspective Two weeks have passed since it became known to every shifter in the pack that I was now bearing Claudius' first heir, and the Alpha never kept his excitement secret about our firstborn. While walking around, I found myself on the training grounds. “I can't wait to be with all the breeders that we have and fuck them every night once I officially become the pack's warrior. I'll father children from all those whores,” said by one of the trainees that I overheard accidentally. My blood boiled in anger and the first man to notice me bowed his head. “Luna Eero.” I walked past him and headed to the cocky shifter. “What the hell—” The shifter went quiet after I glared at him. “Luna, why would you suddenly take my training badge?” “Are you stupid? I took it because I no longer want you to be a trainee. I am afraid that once you become a warrior of the pack, you'd be an abuser of the weaker one instead of doing your job and protecting us from our enemy and othe

Claudius' perspective Vivid murmurs and groans from Eero who was moving too much woke me up from my sleep. “She's having a nightmare,” my wolf whispered to me. I pulled her closer to me and lightly tapped her cheeks while I was shaking her body too to wake her up. Upon seeing this, a tear made it out of her still-closed eyes. I panicked and shook her even more, but she wasn't waking up. Eero then suddenly choked while she was holding her throat as if she were stopping blood from coming out of it. “Baby, wake up… you're having a nightmare. Eero... Eero!” She gasped as she opened her eyes. Fear took over her pupil and she pushed me away from her, moving towards the corner of the bed. “Stay away from me, Claudius, please!” She pled and cried. I reached for her, but she flinched so badly. “Eero, it's me. It's just a nightmare. You were having a nightmare.” I extended my arm for her to come to me, but she froze in her spot. “Why? What happened? Why are you suddenly so scared

Eero's perspective I couldn't help but notice how Cielo kept an eye on me these few months. Whenever I thought that I got used to how she was suddenly acting towards me and with her riddle-like wordings that confused me most of the time, she'd do something new that would throw me off again. “You are giving me that look again,” I commented. I looked at the little girl in front of me that I handed a school bag filled with school supplies. The young girl then went to Cielo where she received a sandwich and a yogurt drink as her snack. “Am I scaring you, Luna?” I chuckled at her question. “No. Not really, but I am worried about you. You are looking at me as if there is something that I must know, and yet, you have no way to tell me about it.” “Very well. I'd like it if you think that way.” I looked beyond the boy in front of me. Two more and we were done with this charity work. “Let me do that for you,” I offered. I took the school bag from my hand and distributed it to the

Eero's perspective I still couldn't grasp my head around the truth behind Cielo's real identity, and I was not allowed to tell Claudius about this. “Once we are back in Regulus…you're going to let Claudius and I fend for ourselves?” I could not help but ask her. “Not so soon, but once I ensure that there would be a century of peace in the realm, then my task here is done, and I must go back to serve the Sun God,” she answered truthfully. I looked up at the full bloom. “My wolf transformed into a powerful one and up to now, I could feel that something had changed. Do you perhaps have something to do with my transformation?” “Luna, I am just a priestess, not a God. I can't give you special ability nor make you stronger within a snap of my finger.” I slowed down and looked her in the face. “But you know that my wolf was hiding some incredible strength and power.” “Your strength and power is a blessing that your lineage receives from the Sun God, himself. You might have l

Eero's perspective When a child loses their mother, in the blink of an eye, the world becomes a strange place in their eyes, but if it's a mother who loses her child, not only does it become a strange place, but for them, the world will stop completely. Cielo sighed, holding a tray in her hand, while the one that she served me for lunch remained untouched by me. I knew that she was getting déjà vu. “You were like this when you first got here. You don't talk to anyone, and you never eat your food.” Claudius walked in. It felt like seeing him for the first time after we had buried our firstborn pup. “Leave us alone, Cielo,” he said. Not only did Claudius grow cold and distant towards me. He was doing the same thing to Cielo. “Alpha Claudius…" “Do you want me to banish you from my pack, or you'll do just as I say? Have you forgotten, you were at fault too? If you didn't fall asleep. Perseus wouldn't be taken away and killed!” He hissed at Cielo. I looked at her and nodded
