"Time sure flies."
I smiled looking at the decorated ballroom. It's been seven years since Noah and I became a couple. And today is the day of our imprinting anniversary."Alpha Noah Ragnar entering the ballroom."Guard announced and my eyes eagerly waited for the handsome man of my life. Dressed in black suit and a pair of zipped leather shoes Noah walked inside."Happy anniversary my beloved mate," he bowed and kissed my hand. My happiness couldn't be more than this moment. Everyone's eyes were stuck on us as he took my hands and placed them on his shoulder. Pulling me close to his chest he leans into a passionate kiss."Happy anniversary to our alpha and Luna. May the glory of the moon goddess showers on both."Pack members recited prayers one by one thanking us . I separated from Noah and was about to ask maid to present my surprise gift for Noah but suddenly there was knock on the manor's door."HELP .""Help me please Alpha," a barely audible voice of a female called out for help. And before anyone could take action I saw Noah rushing out in haste. He ordered the guards to open the door and the warriors to stay on alert.I followed him behind and saw a petite blonde girl covered in bruises and wounds. Her golden eyes were mesmerizing enough to bewitch anyone regardless of gender.Noah stiffened witnessing Omega's tragic situation. He sat down beside the girl and with trembling hands touched her face. I noticed a strange yet familiar caring gaze in his ocean blue eyes. That gaze was once for me and only me."Immediately prepare for the treatment," he ordered and scooped the girl in his arms and headed to the nursing hall.The girl's wounds were treated by top doctors of the empire. But I felt something off ; Noah was so immersed in the girl's health care that he forgot our anniversary and spent his whole night taking care of newly arrived omega.Next day"Luna, the girl has gained her consciousness."One guard informed me and I rushed to the nursing hall barefoot. And to my surprise Noah was sitting next to her and holding her hand in his."What is your name?" I asked, ignoring Noah's affectionate behaviour."SCARLETT ."The girl pulls her hand from Noah and climbs down the bed."Oh what are you doing? Your wounds are still not cured..."Noah's tense remark for that girl was giving me unpleasantness. She bows down in front of him and pledges her life to Noah."Thank you for saving my life Alpha. I swore to serve you and the pack for the rest of my life."Noah smiled and immediately helped her to get on the bed. He continued his affectionate behaviour with her , asking how Scarlett got injured and what happened. He completely forgot I was standing there. But I somehow consoled myself that he was just doing what an alpha should do to save anyone's life.I would have done the same maybe."Your majesty, important court affairs are yet to be looked into ," one official whispered near my ear. I nodded and left the nursing hall.I arrived in my room and maids helped me dress up. The red cloak was put on my shoulder with a royal emblem pinned on the right side of my gown.My long black hair were tied up in bun and diamond embedded gold crown was placed on my head. I looked at myself in mirror and corners of my lips lifted into forced smile.'I don't know why Noah is ignoring me after that blonde Omega has arrived. Is he perhaps smitten by her beauty?' My insecurities alerted me .I still remember when Noah confessed his love for me and imprinted me as his official mate . We both got married and I became the empress of the Bliaviroth empire.The empire was ruled by Crescent pack and Shadowed pack. We both vowed to make the werewolf race the most dominant and powerful from vampires and other races.Although I believe he will never cheat on me as for our seven years of relationship. I know him better than anyone. He will send that girl back after she's fully recovered. Assuring myself, I marched into the royal court."Greet her majesty Luna Martina Ragnar."The court roared with greetings. I accepted the honour and asked all the officials to take their seats and start with cases.In the absence of Noah I looked into all the recent cases of empire. Most shocking one was the sudden attack of vampires on the Red moon pack."When did this attack of vampires happen?""Yesterday in the evening, your majesty." One of the official answers which made me sure .“Scarlett must be the only one who managed to escape from this attack,'' I thought and decided to send a search team on this incident. Something seems fishy because vampires never crossed the border of the Bliaviroth empire."VICTOR STEELE .""Yes, your majesty." A tall muscular man in his thirties bowed in front of me. He was a beta of the Crescent pack and a ruthless general of Bliaviroth . And my only family."Brother I want you to Lead the warriors to the north and find out the cause of this vampire attack," I ordered."Order will be carried out , your majesty."He unsheathed his sword and kneeled down. I got up from my throne and stepped to kneeling Victor. Taking out my dagger I made a small cut in my thumb and let the blood drop on his sharp blade. The ritual was carried out by the Crescent pack before the departure of warriors for war.Victor kissed his sword and marched out , the rest of the warriors followed him. The court was adjourned here. I walked out , heading to my room when I noticed a group of maids gossiping about Noah.I paused and focused on their talkings."Did you see how Alpha was taking care of that Omega?" One of the maids questioned."I'm still in shock. How can he forget about Luna and sleep with someone who just arrived?" Others commented.Hearing all this from back I indeed felt uneasiness. Anyone will doubt Noah's loyalty for me."What's going on here?""What's going on here?" I saw Noah approaching there, he had an annoyed look on his face. The maids immediately apologized and left. I forced a smile on my face and walked to him. "Are you free now?" "Yes, Scarlett is now resting. She is injured badly...," He was again with the pitiful looks and showing concern about Scarlett. "Oh , I have sent the search team to the north . Yesterday vampires attacked the Red moon pack and if I am guessing right Scarlett must be from the Red moon pack," I explained. But Noah wasn't pleased. He instead twisted his head sideways and with an unsatisfied tone replied," Scarlett has lost her family, friends and pack. Let her stay here in my Shadowed pack." I was stunned , silence by his remark.'How can he say that? What if she's an assassin sent by a vampire lord?' I decided to keep this to myself until Victor returns back with proof. And pretended to go along with what Noah had said."I will get going Martina."I stepped close to Noah and held his
"Everything is over." I strangely felt everything cold and calm around myself. I slowly opened my eyes only to find myself in dark space as my body drifted in vacuum. "Why am I floating? Is this afterlife?" I tried to move my hands but it seemed like my body was petrified. Confused by whatever was happening with me , I closed my eyes and sighed in agony. Everything I did, my love, my sacrifices for Noah. All in the end was nothing, he betrayed me and my pack. His Shadowed pack was nothing in front of my Crescent Pack. I provided him with my strength and made him the emperor of Bliaviroth and this is how he repaid me! "I'm dead now ! What a waste of my life," I cursed sarcastically, knowing very well that my body will soon be reduced into nothingness. "If there's a god who is watching me crumble into pieces, I hope you could give me a chance. A chance to correct my mistakes." "Let me save my pack from demise. Let me take revenge on my rivals." "Is there anyone who could even lis
"Are you alright?" Loren asked. Strange enough as it sounds and quite unreasonable. He was a man who seemed like always holding a grudge against me and that's why I had my distance from him. Not getting involved with him I just shook my head and headed into the woods.'I perfectly know Loren was just doing formality by asking. His regards were not sincere and never will be ,' I gritted my teeth in annoyance feeling dejected. Darkness was hovering as I continued running in the woods. Making my way through the thorny bushes and trees. "I can't change my fate both in my first and second life. I f**king hates this feeling of failure," I roared angrily, lashing out in the air. 'Don't forget who you were Martina before you met Noah. You led your Crescent Pack bravery during battles too!' My wolf scolded me and I realised what mistake I was actually doing. How can I let a man be my decision maker when he's the one who couldn't keep his promise of loyalty? Why should I be his mistress wh
"It was not a raven, I'm sure of it, because the shadow was large enough for a werewolf." I continued looking in the far dark forest completely forgetting about Loren."Ouch!" Someone hit my head from behind, I touched and felt warm sticky liquid oozing out of my wound. ' Blood?' I turned back and saw Loren standing there with a wooden stick in his hand. I shifted into my true form before passing out. After an hour later when I gained my conscious I found myself kneeling in front of narcissistic Noah . I struggle to get up but was grounded by Loren who had dragged me by hair all the way to imperial castle. "Where were you?" Noah shouted at me , his eyes blazing with anger. I glared at him in disgust and spat on the ground showing disrespect for Alpha. Enraged by this loyal dog Loren tightened his grip on my arm causing my skin to burn in pain. I would not make a mistake in guessing ; this is all according to Noah's liking. Seeing me in pain must be easing his impatient heart. "L
Galloping through the disintegrated rocky path in the pitch dark night, sorrow started eating up my courage.Although I've rejected Noah as my mate, my seven years of unrequited love can't let my heart rest at ease. Thoughts of hatred, jealousy, pain hovered over me. 'All because of Scarlett. She ruined my happy married life.' My wolf roared in rage and wanted to tear off Scarlett into pieces. Helpless because Noah has taken a liking to that lowly Omega and planning to make Luna of his pack. 'I don't fancy titles or honour . For me love and loyalty is supreme.' I was talking to myself while rummaging in the dead night. Cold breeze continued to hit me. Ominous sensation reached down my spines when the lightning struck on nearby followed with thunderstorm. 'Sudden change in weather, strange.' I pulled myself together kicking off all that hindering thoughts. Now love and loyalty holds no importance in my life. I shouldn't forget that I was killed and this is my second chance to cor
'Look up child,' that voice talked again. I somehow managed to look up. My eyes widened upon seeing that mesmerising creature. 'My name is Drystan.' He said, elegantly brushing off his hair behind his ears.I was left in awe . It was a creature which had been extinct thousands of years ago. A fallon? In the dark night he was flying in the air. His flaming blue wings spread wide flapping. His long blue hair majestically dazzling over his waist and those ice cold jewelled blue eyes sparked a death fear in my heart. I lowered my face and noticed others were not paying attention to the sudden appearance of fallon. ' Are you all kidding me?' "They can't hear or see me .' 'Why ?' I talked through mindlink. I don't know how I was able to make a mental connection with him. 'Because of that Ruby pendant.' He pointed at my chest. ' That pendant you give me and I'll vow to serve you for the rest of my life.' He came down, whispering near me . Him revolving around me was making me shiver i
About two hours of staying in the air , we finally entered the northern territory. The territory of Crescent Pack's werewolves and my hometown. "Where should I land?" Drystan asked through mindlink. "On the castle of Crescent. It's white marble castle embedded with statues of wolves including other creatures carved in gold.'' I looked forward to the magic tower. One of its kind especially was used for casting magic spells and making potions. As we crossed the magic tower the atmosphere started getting foggy. The smell of burning corpses and houses sneaked inside my nostrils. "It looks like enemies have attacked." "We need to get down , Drystan. I'm worried about my brother Victor." "But it's too dangerous..." He hesitated."You're forgetting something. Do you want me to remind you ?" I smirked. He sighed and increased his speed. I could see the castle of Crescent in the distance. My eyes overwhelmed with emotions as the past memories swapped in. This place is special to me. Ev
Whilst I was spacing myself in my vengeance . Victor held my hand and smiled coldly. " Sister don't you think we need to talk?" I completely forgot that I've to explain everything to Victor. Why I suddenly came here with some unknown Fallon creature and had Loren chained in prison. I lifted myself up , trying to sit . " Don't move." Drystan steps close to my bed. Putting the pillow behind my back and slowly holding my shoulders, Drystan allowed me to lean on the pillow. Victor was giving a suspicious glare at us . I'm absolutely sure what's going on in my brother's mind. "Let me heal you before you start talking." Drystan sits beside me , his right hand touching my face. His long blue eyelashes fluttered as he gazed at my bandaged ankles and hands. I would be lying if I said I'm not feeling anything. "It will be a little cold but you'll be cured." I closed my eyes and felt the coldness creeping inside me. Drystan's hands were shimmering icy flames on my injured parts. It was ch
