Slade's POVI shifted uneasily, knowing I shouldn't be in this form. I couldn't help it, though. I didn't want to be the defenceless alpha who always relied on his Luna for help. Even though I had always fought my battles, I felt like most people saw me as weak, barely capable of doing anything.I locked eyes with Damien, and we exchanged growls. But deep down, I almost regretted it. My heart pounded, wildly beating against my rib cage. Being in wolf form made everything even more challenging for me.I turned my gaze towards Winter. Despite being held by Gloria, it seemed like she could free herself from the situation. She looked furious, and I knew most of that anger was directed at me, while the rest was aimed at her ex and his mother."You need to shift back," Winter snarled, her frustration evident. "She said you'll die!"Gloria only laughed in response. I wished I could wipe the grin off her face and make her pay for everything. Pay for killing Britney, especially, and taking my
WINTER'S POVJoy erupted inside me as I glanced at Slade and Damien-who were now lifeless. For a brief moment, I had thought Slade would be the one in Damien's shoes. I had felt Damien would overpower Slade, considering his immense power, but I was glad it had turned out differently.Gloria screeched, "I'll never forgive you for taking my son from me!""You brought this upon yourself," I said. "You should surrender now that it seems you can't win!""No!" Gloria screamed, almost bursting my eardrums. "I'll never surrender. His death needs to be avenged!" Dark energy enveloped her, emanating an aura of animosity.Gloria's voice thundered through the forest, carrying a raw fury fueled by the essence of darkness. An ominous aura consumed her body; the air crackled with nervous energy.I watched in both awe and apprehension as Gloria underwent a grotesque transformation. Her eyes turned pitch black, and her once-elegant features contorted into a twisted visage of rage. Shadows danced aroun
COPPERBORROW TOWNGOLDEN STARLIGHT PLAZAWINTER POV"Have a tight grip on that," my employer warned me.I nodded and forced a smile, clutching the heavy grocery bag tightly. With each step towards the loading van, the weight threatened to pull me down. Finally, as I reached the van, I released the bag and let it drop from my hands, thankful that I didn't lose my balance. I could be clumsy at times, and I definitely didn't want the groceries to fall on me while my face met the unforgiving pavement.Not only would it potentially leave me scarred, but it would also become the talk of the town during my stay in Golden Starlight Plaza. Rumours never died down here; they would persist until I forced myself to leave, and that was the last thing I wanted."Winter!" my employer called out, striding towards me.I wiped my stained palms on my work shirt and turned to face him, mustering a bright smile.As he had mentioned, my name was Winter Watson, given to me by my birth parents. It was the onl
WINTER'S POVI didn't know how long I had been staring at the gorgeous woman, but I was snapped out of my daze as I sensed my parents behind me."What's taking you so long, Winter? Who's at the door..." My mother trailed off, and I felt her stiffen as she stood behind me."Someone is here," I mumbled, unable to tear my eyes away from her face. It had suddenly turned pale. Even my father's expression mirrored the same shock.I didn't know what was happening, but it didn't seem like a good sign. They both looked as though they had seen a ghost, their mouths opening and closing like fish gasping for air."Luna Ashley?" My mother stuttered, breaking the silence.Frowning, I stared at her, and it dawned on me that the woman before me was Luna Ashley, the Luna of the Royal Moon Pack.I hadn't recognised her at first, but now it was clear. So, why was the Luna of the Royal Moon Pack standing at our doorstep? What could she possibly want?I couldn't tell, and I certainly hoped it had nothing t
WINTER'S POVI didn't know how long I had been staring at Luna Ashley. My mouth opened and closed before I finally shook my head."How? I mean, how did I become your daughter when my parents are apparently the omega of Silvermoon Pack?""You were switched at birth, darling," Luna Ashley said, stepping closer to me. She pushed down the collar of the dress I was wearing."What are you doing?!" I moved to swat her hand away but stopped when she did the same to her dress.She pointed to her neck, where a crescent-shaped mark was visible, and said, "Not only are you my replica, but you also have the birthmark that is only noticeable in the females of our clan, the Hugh."I recognised the mark she was talking about. At one point, I had considered covering it up as people had started calling me a freak. However, I eventually embraced it and realised how unique it made me look compared to others. I had always assumed it was just a birthmark and never attributed it to anything until now.Still,
WINTER POVI should have known her cheeriness towards me was for show. I knew she never liked me when I saw her yesterday, as she was discretely shooting me a death glare. But I never knew it was like this."I won't pretend to you, and I hope everyone acts the same way I do. No one likes you. It's best you went back wherever you came from, dog poop girl."I ignored her words and wanted to go back to meet Luna. But Summer thwarted all the movement I made.She gripped me tightly, and I nudged her while raising my hands to stop her from grabbing me again.Summer fell to the ground, and I gasped."Bitch!" She sobbed, gripping her leg.I didn't touch her! I knew that, but I didn't know what she was trying to do.Kendall, my twin, rushed over, shooting me a glare. I guess he was watching this exchange all along and was waiting for the time to come out to attack. "What the hell is wrong with you? You just arrived and started damaging things!"But I didn't touch her, I murmured to myself, star
Oh, my moon goddess!He was fucking hot. The hottest werewolf I had ever seen and come across!My eyes raked the strong muscle on his stomach, and my hand itched to caress them and see if it was as complicated as it seemed.I swallowed the hard lump that formed in my throat and glanced away briefly as I felt him staring at me."Hey, you are awake." He murmured."So are you," I muttered, walking by him. As soon as I got to the refrigerator, my grip tightened on the metal handle.I couldn't open it to get what I wanted due to his presence.Slade was beside me, and I could feel his skin's temperature engulfing me.He must have taken a hot bath. It was frigid here, unlike my previous home, where it was often warm.I wanted to steal a glance at him. To see what he was doing as he leaned over the counter. But I couldn't!I shouldn't!I hastily poured myself a glass of water and walked to my room while reminding myself he was my brother. And, of course, I shouldn't have such thoughts about hi
WINTER POV"Hi!" The voice repeated, and it was clear this time."Who are you?!" I stuttered, confused as to the reason I was hearing another voice in my head.I furrowed my brows, awaiting its response.After a while, it said again."It is I, your wolf." She said excitedly. "And nice meeting you, Winter. I am Flora."I had a wolf?!Shit!I couldn't believe it. I had thought I was wolfless and would be that way forever, seeing as I was getting past the age my wolf should appear.Heck, many people my age already had their Wolf a long time ago. And having no wolf was one of the reasons I got bullied in my former school.They called me all kinds of names ranging but not limited to weirdo, wolfless, and cursed.I had even started to agree I was cursed. I guess I just needed to give it time.Now she was here, and I couldn't be happier. I was even more excited to meet her than to be the Alpha's daughter.And oh boy, was she freakishly strong. I felt a surge of energy rushes through me, from
