Nina returned to the garden the next day. The place had a calming effect on her. Despite the trauma.Luke walked up to Nina who was lost in the serenity of the pack palace garden.“Enjoying yourself?” He playfully asked with a broad smile on his gentle face. Nina sends him a small smile back.“It’s just so…” Nina starts, she looks around at the garden with a peaceful expression on, “It is beautiful. Compared to the woods. It gives me peace.”“I can relate. The garden is well tended to. I understand why you would want to be here.” Luke says. Nina hums in response. Silence follows. But it’s a comfortable silence.They both had a nice moment walking in the garden together, but suddenly a loud noise shatters Nina and Luke’s peaceful moment, igniting fear and curiosity. For Nina, it was fear. She flinched when the sound came out. Just the day before, she had been attacked in this very garden. She was still a bit sensitive when it came to loud noises. Luke was not affected by it, he simply
Rogan could only sigh when Nina walked out on him. He was stumped. He had no idea how Nina seemed to have created such a persona for him. He understood when people believed he was a cruel Alpha. Indeed he was. But even he couldn’t be heavy-handed with his own mate. He wanted to treat her well and shower her with gifts. He thought it would be easy, just like how every other girl in the pack would throw themselves at him. But Nina changed his perspective on things. She wanted nothing to do with him. Rogan was helpless when it came to her. Especially with the rogue incident in the garden. Rogan remembered Nina’s words and he couldn’t help but frown.“You set this up, didn’t you? With the rogues? Did you intentionally lead them here to scare me? Remind me of my place and make me succumb to you just because you saved me?” Nina had said with venom laced in her tongue. Rogan honestly wondered who poisoned her mind with such thoughts, and how her mind had gotten so twisted. He had even punish
Luke seemed to have been enjoying the results of the seeds of hatred he had planted in Nina, as everything seemed to be going his way. He would speak to Nina, commending her for her attitude towards Rogan.He liked how he would just stay in the background and watch as Rogan suffered. Yes, just in the background, completely unnoticed.But Luke miss calculated. He never considered what would happen if Rogan caught sight of him. Especially not in that kind of situation.The moment Rogan had walked into his room and grabbed him, Luke feared for his life. He saw his life flash before his eyes. His hazel eyes almost lost their light. When Rogan finally let go of him, his eyes saw white. For a moment, he wondered if he had actually seen the Moon Goddess.It was too close. He had really almost died. Part of his neck was broken.A strangled cough came out of him. He was too busy trying to breathe to pay attention to Rogan and Nina.Rogan was like a volcano that was about to erupt but suddenly
Bang!The sound of a body crashing into a table echoed through Alpha Rogan’s office.It’s said that ‘Alpha Rogan had gotten soft.’ And ‘Alpha Rogan is sad’; These two things have been spread around as rumors in the pack. They were both false but true statements. False because Rogan hadn’t gone soft because he was only soft to his mate, Nina, but everyone else, they had better not test him. The second statement was also false because Rogan wasn’t exactly sad, he was just a bit sensitive. Most of this sensitivity wasn’t channelled towards emotions like sadness, no, it was wrath. Rogan was more irritated lately but no one in the pack could notice because he had been trying to pace himself and control himself, but now? That was impossible.Nayla was able to successfully kiss Rogan, her confidence soured when he didn’t immediately push her away. She suddenly thought she had a chance but the next moment, her confidence was crushed, literally.Right before Rogan moved, Nayla thought she coul
“I will not let you go. Regardless of if you can reject me or not!” Rogan loses his temper.“Oh really? Then I’ll just say it then!” Nina screamed back.“What?” Rogan threatened.“I reject you as my mate!”Nina felt her heart break the moment she said this. It was a heavy and solid feeling that she couldn’t even stop her reaction. Her face scrunched up because of the unexpected pain. Her usually quiet wolf wailed. She never knew that their casual words would make her heart hurt so much. It was meant to hurt Rogan not her but it backfired.Rogan’s mind went blank the moment Nina rejected him. He suddenly felt very helpless. But that was only at first. His mood went from helpless to sad to resignation to anger and then finally…Rogan burst out laughing. It was a sequence. His gruff laughter was quite attractive. Nina could only stare at him in a trance. She wasn’t sure why he was laughing but he didn’t seem amused, more like he was frustrated.“You….have you finally lost it? Why are you
“Your eyes are beautiful.”Rogan’s words of concern got stuck in his mouth the moment he heard Nina say that. His eyes widened. Then, it slid back and he stared at her dotingly. Her words gave him a tingling feeling. Oh! How badly he was whipped. Nina, at that moment, seemed to have let down her guard. Like as if the tall walls she had built up were slowly breaking…Rogan suddenly saw a chance and he would not be an Alpha if he missed it.“Is that really the first thing you should say right now?” Rogan teases her.“Ah no that’s…” Nina fumbled with her words. She internally facepalmed at her slow reaction. She felt embarrassed. ‘Why did I have to foolishly blurt out something like this?’ Nina thought as her face slowly turned red. Rogan’s eyes brightened at her reaction. Although, he was not expecting her to be so docile, he enjoyed it a lot. He wanted to continue teasing her but he wasn't sure if Nina would suddenly switch up with him. He had grown sensitive to her reactions.“Come on
Luke was shell-shocked when he saw Nina and Rogan kissing so intimately. It seemed different from the last kiss he had seen, this time, it was passionate. Completely consensual. It was obvious that they both wanted this. They looked like they both yearned for it. It looked like an intimate kiss between lovers and not a forced by a captive by her captor.Luke felt his brain go blank and his world slowly crash. His legs went weak. He didn’t know why but he felt that his plan would it be able to work anymore, he just did.A soft moan slipped out of Nina’s mouth during the kiss. This sound was what woke Luke up from his trance. He glanced at their entangled figure and quickly regained his footing.‘It will be fine. It will be…fine. I’m sure this is not any different from the last time. Even if it is, Rogan can not have any deep emotions for Nina. He is not capable of such sentiment. I am sure if I get to meet Nina later it will all return to the way it used to. Yes. It is only a matter of
At the council meeting, Rogan declared his intention to make Nina his Luna leaving the attendants of the meeting gaping.There was a deafening silence after that. It was like everyone’s heads had all gone blank at the same time. The seconds slowly went past as time slowly ticked away. One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six…“ALPHA ROGAN, YOU CAN’T!!” Various voices chorused in protest. Their voices were in sync. It was as if all their brains had come online at the same time.“Alpha Rogan, she is too weak to be your Luna and our leader. Didn’t you see how she had responded to all the rogue attacks? She can not even shift, talk less of joining you in battle. She is better off a breeder.” Mallory, the beta, who was right beside Alpha Rogan commented.“Yes, I second that. Alpha Rogan, you can not make such a weak female your Luna. That is too unreasonable. What would other packs think when they find out we have such a weak person as our Luna?” Darren, the gamma, spoke immediately after Mallor
FIVE YEARS LATEROld Sage Hati believed she had seen it all. From the dark to the bright side of the world. She was a wandering sage who went from place to place, never remaining in one place for too long. She had gone almost everywhere in the Lycan and Werewolf realm.What was she? A Werewolf or a Lycan? Old Sage Hati did not care for such. She believed that they were all descendants of the Moon Goddess, what was the reason for their dumb labels?Old Sage Hati had basically seen it all. There was not much she expected from this shrewd world. Not much could shock her.Or so she thought.A few years ago, news spread far and wide about the peace pact that would be made between the Werewolf realm and the Lycan realm. She was shocked. She thought that these two factions would be at peace, but it seems that wasn’t the case?Months after the news, she heard of the unity between the two realms. Years later, the two realms had basically reunited. With Lycans mating with Werewolves and vice ve
The battle was over and it was time for them to regroup and go back.But just because the battle was over didn’t mean that everything was sorted.“Nina…they….?” Rogan asked trembling slightly as he stared at the triplets in front of him. He felt like his world had just made a backflip.Nina smiled softly at him.He looked back at her with shock then looked back at the triplets in front of him. The triplets were also staring back at him weirdly.Rogan glanced at the birthmarks on their chests and then he looked down at his own chest. His heartbeat sped up.The birthmarks were identical.Even without seeing the birthmarks, Rogan could see his younger self in the triplets. He immediately understood what had happened and yet, at the same time, he could not comprehend it.Nina could understand how he felt at that moment. Finding out you have three fully grown children all of a sudden would definitely be overwhelming.Rogan looked at her, he seemed to have so many questions to ask but didn’
Nina felt lightheaded as she woke up. She felt a strange elevating feelings. Her body felt light as she suddenly experienced a sudden surge in strength. She sighed blissfully at the feeling. A whole new load of information flooded into her head at the same time. Nina was enlightened.As she regained consciousness. She heard the various gasps and voices around her.“M-mom?”“W-what’s happening?”“This light…?”“Step back a bit and give her some space, she seems to be waking up.”Nina could recognize the last voice as Luke’s.Soon, she opened her eyes to reality.Rex, Jax, Axel, Luke, and Coby—who seemed to have joined the group at some point—were around her. They were all staring at her in shock. She sat up on her own, completely rejuvenated and healed.The triplets Involuntarily teared up as they watched her sit up. At first, they wanted to rush up to her and hug her but they restrained themselves. They stared cautiously at the place where she had previously been stabbed. It was clean
Nina was tense as she walked through the all-white space with a frown on her face. She didn’t know where she was not how she had gotten there but for some reason, she kept on moving forward, eventually, she encountered a door. She hesitated slightly before opening it. The door seemed to have a vortex-like suction as it soon sucked her in.Nina was now standing in a warm and cosy room. It was layered with multiple animal skins. There was a bed in the middle that looked soft. There was a small sitting set beside the bed. The set had a table covered in wool, surrounded by two chairs that were adorned with soft rabbit fur. The atmosphere of the room was so warm that soon, Nina’s tense muscles relaxed. She looked around the room and found a small baby cot at the side. She curiosity walked up to it and Inside the baby cot was empty. But for some reason, she felt the warmth from it. There was a very familiar scent lingering in the air as well.‘Where is the baby?’ Nina thought as she looked
In the dungeons,Nina’s triplets and Agnes were ready for the arrival of the guards.They had no idea about what was happening on the surface, all they focused on in that moment was escaping.Soon, the guards burst into the dungeon.“Let us hurry up and kill these bastards! We need to bring up their bodies to destroy those bastards’ morale.” The lead of the men ordered as they got the key to the cell.“What about the woman?” Someone asked.“We kill her too. There is no use for her.” The lead said.His words successfully shocked the inmates of the dungeon.Killing them? They were going to die now?“What the hell are you guys going on about!” Rex screamed with rage. The guards had not opened the cell yet but they were about to.This was a different outcome than they had expected.‘Rex, do not aggravate them! Something must have happened on the surface. We have to change up the plan a bit. The outcome is still the same, we have to escape either way.’ Axel’s mind linked his brother and tr
Nina exhaled after the deed was done.Ariel, the sorceress was gone. The villain who had turned so many innocent people into rogues was finally gone.“One down,” Nina muttered. She looked back at Rogan and Thorin. They were still fighting hard. She looked away from them and averted her gaze to a person who was looking in her direction.It was Coby.She faltered for a second. To say he was looking at her was a bit of a misunderstanding. He was looking at his dead grandmother. He was staring at her corpse with complex emotions.Nina was not sure how he currently felt. Previously, she had gone up to meet him and told him about her plan. So if he could not handle it, he was free to go back. Regardless, she would still get justice for all the people his grandmother, Ariel the sorceress, had killed. Coby had looked her in the eye at that time and nodded in understanding. He said that he would go with them and he would definitely help with saving the triplets. He was determined to help out.
Nina had arrived at the cabin. She immediately stormed in the moment Coby successfully led them there. Her blood was boiling with anger. She looked at everyone with a piercing gaze. She had a strong grip on her iron bat in one hand and her second hand hovered over her knives.There was an amulet shining on her chest. Rogan had given it to her when she woke up. Apparently, it was a family heirloom. Nina wanted to reject it but Rogan insisted. She gave in.The first person she saw when she got there was Ariel, who was haughtily ordering people around. She was setting up a ritual. Nina immediately identified her as Coby’s grandmother. She didn’t waste a moment. She grabbed a small throwing knife and immediately threw it towards Ariel. She did it so fast that no one had time to react. Even Rogan and the others who had come with her did not expect her actions. She was fast and aggressive. She did not even consider the fact that Coby was watching. It did not matter to her.The knife quickly
Nights in the Void Area were basically moonless. The sky would be pitch black without stars or the constellations. It was as if the work area had been abandoned by all the celestial bodies. The Moon Goddess did not monitor the happening in the Void Area. It was just an area for chaotic activities to take place without supervision.“There is no God in the Void Area.”A passing sage had once said this before. He claimed that the void area was an area completely filled with demonic beast. All more vicious than the other. But in such a lawless territory, there would definitely be the leader of all these beasts. The strongest of them. The apex predator.“It is called The Colondra. It is a strange monster that rests in the middle of the Void Area. It is always in a deep state of sleep. It might be that it was sealed by a powerful being in the past or that it is just leisurely resting. But one thing is sure, every night of the Blood Moon. It wakes. If it is not disturbed, it will not bother
“You…What are you talking about?” Agnes cautiously asked him.“Oh, are you talking about that thing you sensed when we got here?” Rex casually asked. This made Agnes even more confused. They had noticed something when they got here? Did that strange pressure also affect them? But what is this about a beast?“Yeah,” Jax replied.“You said it was really big. How big is it?” Axel asked him.Jax hummed for a minute. “Bigger than this dungeon but I’d say it’s as big as the upper structure of the entire building. It feels dangerous as well. Very. It keeps releasing a lot of pressure. It obviously seemed dissatisfied with the existence of people above it. I don’t know what kind of beast it is but it’s not a good idea to be so close to it. It’s right underneath us…”“Wait a minute! Do you mean to say that there is some kind of beast under us? Then why hasn’t it moved?” Agnes asked in a panic. If what Jax had said was true, then they could be killed at any moment. The beast was strong enough t
