~Kira~I frowned as the words left his lips. He seemed not to have understood what he said because he was still admiring me.“What did you say?” I asked, wanting him to repeat whatever it was that he said.He looked at me with a paused smile on his face, “You’re gorgeous in the dress”“No” I shook my head, “I mean, what you said before that”When he continued staring at me like he didn’t understand what I was saying, I reminded him what he had said. “You said that I looked so much like someone in this dress. Who were you talking about? Who is the she?”He paused for some seconds as if realizing what had just happened. Then he laughed and drew me to him, hugging me from behind. He placed a kiss on my neck, and then nibbled on it, making me shiver a little.“That? You look like her. Like my Luna. Because that’s what you’ll be in the upcoming full moon. And I can’t wait to put my mark on you. Right here” he licked the sweet spot on my neck.I felt K

~Kira~“She’s your mate?” Jay asked surprisingly.“His name is Jayden?” I asked, almost at the same time.Xavier turned to look at me, and then back at Jay. We both had that shocked look on our faces, but Jay recovered quicker than me. In a matter of seconds, his face was back to a neutral one.“You two know each other?” Xavier asked.“We were…” “No. we just bumped into each other on a few occasions.” Jay intercepted before I could speak. “We don’t really know each other that much. I thought she was one of the omegas that you decided to set free. Never thought that she was…you know…your mate”The both of us exchanged awkward looks. I felt even more ashamed of myself that I allowed myself to be swayed by his compliments. And of all things, he had to be Xavier’s beta. He probably might see me as a pick-me girl now, especially now that he knows that I already had a mate even while he had been trying to woo me. Kind of.“Well, I guess you now see why I call her my bit of sanity in this

~Kira~ Today is the D-day. The day that I get married to Xavier. The day that I’ll finally become the Luna of the Halfmoon Pack. For some reason, I had mixed emotions about this day. I was excited, and I was also nervous about everything. Excited because I would finally get all that I’d ever wanted in this life- power, love, and acceptance. Nervous because I know the stigmatization that comes with an omega becoming Luna. It takes members a hard time to accept that someone of a low status will be the one to start calling the shots. Alianna had given me the last of the aphrodisiac to drink this morning, plus a whole lot of other rituals that I passed through in the hands of their oracle. The old woman didn’t seem to like me much because with the way she glared at me after reading my palm, I felt like she would have broken my neck if given the chance. Perhaps another disadvantage of being an omega on her way to becoming the Luna of a Pack. Or maybe she noticed that there was anot

~Xavier~ Something tore at my heartstrings as Kira walked down the aisle to me. She was a vision of ethereal beauty. The white dress that she wore made her look so breathtaking, its flowing fabric adorned with delicate lace detailing. She radiated beauty, joy, and confidence, making me become so nervous. I took in a deep breath, trying to steady my shaky hands. I couldn’t understand why it had to be like that tonight of all nights. Was it trying to make me look like a weakling in front of my people? I quickly put my hands in the pockets of my trousers, not wanting anyone to see how shaky they were. My eyes were trained on Kira the whole time. You could call her a reincarnation of the moon goddess right now and I’d agree, because of the royal aura that emanated from her. I was going to have her as Luna, and she’ll be the one beside me forever till death do us part. A small smile played on my face as she drew closer to me, the tiny bouquet in her hand dangling with every step that s

~Xavier~I paced around in my room, trying to control myself. After that old woman had given a whack reason why she could not bond Kira and me, I hadn’t been able to control myself from giving her a slash across her stomach with my claws, which was an act of mercy from me, anyway. She’s a werewolf and an even stronger one. So she’ll heal before anyone thinks that she’s starting to lose blood.Kira sat on the bed, her head bowed.This wasn’t how this night was supposed to be. We were supposed to be tangling in the sheets by now and shaking the whole Packhouse with moans. That white dress was supposed to have been torn and strewn across the room while I showed her what a pleasurable night looks like; not looking grub like people who were about to face a war. “Are you okay?” I asked, seeing that she had been too quiet ever since we left the Pack Square.She slowly lifted her head, and I could see how drained she looked. The events of tonight were enough to drain anyone, and the fact tha
