Alaric's POV.The night of the supermoon is one night where all our werewolf powers become heightened. Occasionally it is very hard to control ourselves, and we tend to go berserk, destroying and clearing out everything in our way. As kids, Ajax, Aiden, and I had fun with it. We were all mischievous in our own little way. We had free rein to do whatever we wanted to do. Father had said it was because we were still literally pups, and so we still had the innocence of youth within us. The most harm or damage we could cause was property damage.In recent memories, from two supermoons ago, everyone's powers had risen exponentially, we had become more aware of our environment, the kind of damage we could cause, and how the consequences and repercussions affected us and everything we did. So we learned to control our powers and learn to use them only when necessary.The cold night air brushed on my skin as if soothing the fire of emotions washing throughout my body.I resolved to get a chai

Alaric's POV.“We?” Zelda asked, obviously surprised I had mentioned talking in front of her.“Yes, all of us. This concerns all of us, unfortunately, and thus, my reason for being here” I replied.Zelda looked disappointed after I had responded to her question. She looked like she was expecting me to say something different. Deep down, I knew what she wanted to hear, but I wasn't about to give her the satisfaction of pulling one over me. At least, not this time. I am only here with them in the same room with a serious matter in my mind. Aiden, misreading the room, made a snide remark which was quite insensitive if you ask me.“Look Alaric, about what you saw, I was just playing around, it's not as if you wouldn't have done the same thing in my shoes,” He said, smirking as he spoke.Aiden was dense, really dense. He has always had this uncanny way of getting on your nerves without you realizing it. He was a master of the art of manipulation and gaslighting. I was beginning to get fu

AJAX'S POVI sat on my bed, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. The room was dark, and the air outside was chilly. It seemed to reach the deepest part of my body and soul as it seemed to tally and resonate with my thoughts. I tried to reach out to the light switch in my room, and then I began to notice and feel a wetness on my palm. I scrambled to turn on the light, and I eventually did. I slowly looked around, trying to take in things. To my absolute horror, there was blood everywhere. And for the life of me, I couldn't remember what had happened that led to this.I'm still surveying the room, a splitting headache settling in, I turned around to find a bloodied woman right beside me on my bed. I was startled and I jumped out of bed in fear. So many scenarios were running through my head and none of them were making sense.“Who is this? How did she get here?” I thought, trying hard to come up with answers as soon as possible.I tried to go over to the other side of the bed to che

Aiden's POV.Walking into Zelda's room and seeing her mood made me feel sad. I knew she was feeling sad, and I could tell that Alaric was in the middle of it all. I could never bring myself to understand what she sees in Alaric and Ajax that I don't have. She has always been more connected to him, quite literally and figuratively. There are times when we have moments, Zelda and I, though infinitesimal, but it was always worth the wait. She makes me feel things that I normally would not, and that made me want her for myself all the more.But I could not force myself on her without risking everything we have built so far turning sour. The moment we just had, I wished it had lasted for some hours, days even, but we can only do so much with so little time and so little a moment. Besides, our relationship is not really defined. We just know that we are mates, and that is a chain that links all of us together.On leaving her room, to my surprise, I almost collided with Alaric. He seemed gen

Zelda’s POV I was embarrassed as I looked at Alaric's resolved expression, I had hoped he was teasing me when he said we should stop. I wanted him to have me even if he didn’t want to, for some seconds I was grateful to the supermoon, but as he picked up his shirt and walked away I realized how pathetic I had become. Aiden will definitely jump at this chance, he would’ve done a lot more than just caress my body, if only he could make me feel things that Alaric makes me feel. Only my body reacts to Aiden’s touch, but with Alaric, I could feel my soul melting with joy any time his hands touched my body. I couldn’t help but remain attracted to his self-restraint, I sniffed the air around the room and I could still feel his strong scent around me. I slightly touched my body and closed my eyes as I replayed how Alaric moaned. I stood to open the window, I could feel the night breeze on my face, I was beginning to come to my senses as it felt as if I was intoxicated by Alaric’s presence
