Xander's eyes widened, disbelief etched across his face. The concept of not being able to find his true mate, his destined companion, was a cruel twist of fate. The bond between mates was sacred among our kind, and this curse threatened to sever it.But the knowledge that he won’t be able to scent her gave me relief. I didn’t want to be a selfish person, but I didn’t want to lose him.I couldn’t lose him.This feeling was something different. Something wild that I had never heard before.One day at a time, Lana whispered to calm my mind.And I took a deep breath.The room came back to normalcy, and Daisy came back to her form, her eyes still held the signs of her powers. Her breaths were ragged, and she was still reeling from the effect of her power.“Can it be broken?” I asked in a small voice.“Huh?” Daisy asked absentmindedly.“The curse. Can it be broken?” I asked again, afraid of the words that might leave Daisy’s mouth.“Every curse can be broken, Grace. Some require little to n

The door swung open and revealed a very breathless Mason.His restless eyes moved back and forth between me and Xander and they widened when landed at our mating marks.“Oh, goddess,” he growled, before leaving us startled in our room.We both followed him out, afraid of the new problems that may arise.“I was so worried about both of you.” he groaned and slumped back on the sofa.It was a little surprising for me at first, watching Xander’s beta acting like an old friend. But things in the Silver Moon Pack were different from the Blood Moon Pack. Here packmates were free to choose their identity and were not bound to one.“What were you so worried about?” Xander asked, unaware of my inner prologue.“Dude,” Mason started, but Xander raised a brow at him.“Yeah, yeah. Alpha. I heard what happened between the Elders and you. And also about the ultimatum they issued against you and The Luna. I was trying to reach you but all in vain. I searched for you everywhere. But you were here all a

If Wilson was mad, this woman in front of me was furious. She attacked me again with the plate, making some servant gasp in horror.Xander on the other hand punched Wilson, making him spit out blood, but Wilson laughed in return.“Show everyone that this b*tch isn’t our Pack Luna. They aren’t mated, expose their charade. Then along with this Hawthorne whore this lying Alpha will also pay.” his words were not cautioned, and he directed them toward that woman.This got Xander’s attention, but Wilson tackled him.The woman straddled me and she wore a sinister smile, my head was still buzzing because of the attack.“How does it feel to be under someone lower than you? You might be thinking that you are some queen sitting with our Alpha. But remember your fu*king place. You are nothing but the shameless girl who spread her legs for more power. You sold yourself to the highest bidder.” she spitted out.My eyes flashed yellow, Lana was capable of shredding this lowly b*tch into pieces, but i

Sensing my uneasiness and sadness, Xander cupped my face in both of his hands, I felt a shiver run down my spine, I didn’t dare meet his eyes, because if I did I might confess my darkest secrets to him.With great effort, I moved away from his touch and turned toward the bathroom. The sound of the running water from the shower was a welcome distraction. I needed to regain my composure before I headed back to the room.But Xander wasn't satisfied with my attempt to conceal my emotions. He followed me into the bathroom, his presence unwavering. Leaning against the doorframe, he crossed his arms over his broad chest, his eyes never leaving mine.I sighed, frustration bubbling up within me. "Xander, please. I just need some time alone. I also have to go to the office tomorrow. And I really need the rest, after what I have suffered in the dining hall."He shook his head slowly, his expression a mix of determination. "No, Gracie," he said, his voice low and raw. "I can't just stand by and w

“We can’t just exile them Xan. The pack needs them and their expertise. And also, they are part of the pack, as their Alpha, it’s your duty to teach them how to change with time.” I said and looked at Xander.“What are you trying to say, Grace. Please spell it for me, because you saw what they did right. Of course you did, they attacked you. They are stubborn about every new change, for them, modern times never came.” Xander huffed, with frustration.“Maybe exiling them would not be so bad,” Mason said.I paused, letting the weight of my words settle in the room. "What if," I continued, "we don't exile the elders but revoke their privileges? Make them fend for themselves for a while. They'd have to rely on omegas for their needs. It could serve as a lesson, make them realize the importance of omegas."Mason’s eyes light up with my suggestion.Xander considered my suggestion, his eyes reflecting a mix of approval and pride. It was evident that he found merit in the idea. "Grace is righ
