《Claiming His Tempting Mate》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Sh''s POV I gathered the flowers in my arm and walked towards the pack. Today is a special day, for my mate and also for me. Alpha wanted to organize the Throne ceremony a month ago but the master priest didn''t find a good day toplete so it''s dyed for so many days. But a week ago the master priest said today is the best day, today there will be a pink moon night which is a fortunate one. Smiling brightly I walk towards the door. Everyone in the pack is busy decorating to celebrate the ceremony. Starting from man to woman even including the kids. I couldn''t express how happy I am today. After my mate gets the alpha title officially he will choose his Luna to rule the pack by his side and as his mate I have to prepare myself for it. It has been two years that I found my mate but still not everyone in the pack knows about it. Why? Because my mate wanted it to be kept a secret so he could give a surprise to everyone on the throne ceremony day. It''s sad that I can''t tell anyone about it. I have to watch him silently from a distance before everyone but all my waiting wille to an end today. Because today he will tell this whole world that we are mates. A roar ofughter reached my ear and I turned to look at the group of girls standing by the stairs. One of them was the most skilled woman in the pack who loves to taunt me in every way possible. "Sh? Where are youing from? Oh....so you again went to grab those bells?" Sheughed. There was a mockery shing in her eyes as she smiled brightly. "Come on Tina, don''t you know she wants to impress the young alpha with that?" Another girl who was standing at the side said. "Yeah, yeah" Tina smiled "but you should know young Alpha is not someone who will be impressed by those tiny little bells. You should think of bigger n if you are nning to jump into his bed" Again there was another series ofughter. It''s not umon for me because they are always like this. Mocking me to death leaving no chance to slip. "Come on Tina, don''t trouble the poor girl. You know even if she ns to seduce young alpha she couldn''t. She has already passed her shifting age and couldn''t even awaken her wolf, such a poor little girl, how can our Alpha desire her?" My fingers around the flowers clenched tightly. So what if I couldn''t shift? Don''t I have heart? Don''t I have good looks? Just because I couldn''t awaken my wolf inside me doesn''t mean I am worse. I still belong to the wolf family. But I never had the courage to retort it. What I could do was curse inside but my voice never went out to stop them to defend myself. Theyughed like there''s some joke they are cracking. They were about to say again when another voice stopped them "what are you all doing there?" I looked up to see Ben, the young beta of the pack, stepped in "go and perform your job instead of fooling around" his cold voice stopped all those mouths before they retreated. "Are you okay?" He asked as he came towards me. I smiled "I am good, don''t worry. It''s nothing unusual anyway" He frowned "you should haveined about it to alpha or young alpha so that they can stop abusing you like this. This is going too much" he shook his head. Ben knows the truth so he always appears to help me. I always find his behaviour so warm and protective. Besides my mate''s parents and my family Ben also knows that Avan, the young alpha is my mate. "Don''t worry, after the ceremony no one will be able to mock me again. He said he will tell everyone about us tonight" I replied. "He did?" Ben looked surprised. I nodded "yeah, oh, I have to decorate these flowers for tonight so I need to leave" I suddenly remembered my flowers. He looked at the flowers then smiled "you went to the valley to pluck these bells again?" Iughed "it''s his favourite one" I rubbed the flowers gently. The bells they refer to are the Lily-of-the- valley flowers which grow beautifully at the river side of our Bright Shine Pack. It''s also the symbol of our pack. When people saw these flowers they knew it''s our pack. "Fine then see you tonight." He nodded and jogged away. I looked up and found the sun was about to set. So I ran inside the pack house. The ceremony will be starting shortly. And before that I needed to clean myself then get ready. I can''t help my smile like an idiot. After tonight I will be able to call him my mate before everyone without any hesitation. I was passing through the rooms when I suddenly heard someone moaning. It''s quite loud which made me stop on my track. I frowned and looked around. At the corner side there was a room where the door was opened a bit. And the sound wasing from there. Tightening my fingers around the flowers I walk towards it. The sounds started to be louder and wilder. Then I can hear the sounds of skin pping which made my face turn redpletely. I should not be doing this. But I don''t know why my heart is urging me to go and see. Calming down myself I slowly reached towards the door and tilting my head I peeked inside. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The bed inside the room was violently shaking as two people entangled with each other totally naked. The man above pushed so hard that the girl moaned even loudly. Shaking my head I turned my head to leave. Why did Ie here to see this? I wanted to p myself for this. Gosh, cursing I was about to leave when I heard the girl shouted a familiar name. "Ah ..oh god Avan I aming...ah.." My heartbeat stopped for a second and I stood there rooted on the ground. Avan? How..... "Yes baby cum for me...cum for your Alpha" then the man''s voice echoed in my ear. No....how can this be? Why..... I couldn''t help but barge inside the room, stopping the couple in their movement. They turned around and their eyes widened with shock. "Sh..?" Avan got up and immediately wrapped a towel around his waist. "Why are you here?" He asked. But my eyes were not on him but on the woman who was pulling the sheet on her body. "Why?" This was the only thing I could utter. Looking at the two people before me my eyes brimmed with tears... Why is it like this? One is my mate and the other one is my sister? "Look, this is not what it looks like" Avan tried to exin. It''s not what it looks like? If not then what is it? "Sh please don''t misunderstand it''s just .." Reese, who was on bed, pulled a shirt and quickly wore it and I believe it was Avan''s shirt she was wearing. "What happened?" The door behind me flung open suddenly and I didn''t need to look back to see who they were. "Avan you..." I heard Alpha Deven''s voice behind me. "Dad, please listen to me first. Please close the door" Avan replied calmly. Everyone is calm in this room except me who is burning with pain and betrayal. "What''s happening here?" Alpha asked again. "Avan you slept with Reese?" I heard Luna gasping. "Mom please hear me out first, I can exin" Avan walk towards me "Sh I am sorry, I was distracted and couldn''t think clearly into the seduction but there''s nothing to be worried about it" I looked at him closely, my heart is burning yet he is saying there''s nothing to be worried about? He said it so casually that he was talking about a normal matter like he didn''t feel any guilt of cheating behind my back. "Sh, I am sorry but please don''t be mad at Avan. We were a little distracted at that time but we are not guilty because we love each other" Reese''s voice rang in my ear but it only added oil in the fire burning inside me. "Love?" I looked at her pitiful teary face then to Avan who was still looking so calm "you love her?" Avan looked at her, who was crying silently, then said to me "Sh please try to understand the situation, it''s true that I love her. And whatever happened was our own willingness but you-" "So you were keeping me in secret because you are with her?" My voice broke "but she is not your mate" I almost screamed. He looked sad "I know that. I also know that you are my destined mate and of course I will take care of you like a mate do" Take care? Should I feel happy after hearing that? Take care? Is he joking with me? "Avan are you even in sense? What are you talking about?" Alpha asked his son "you are the next alpha of our pack even if you mingle with other women you couldn''t neglect your mate. You should know that only your real mate can give you strength and power" Is he scolding his son or reminding him about me? For him a mate is just a source of strength and power and she means nothing else? Just like that. "Sh..." I turned to mom who was looking worried. "Why is she having an affair with my mate even after knowing the truth, mom? As my sister she should be the one supporting me but look how she is cheating behind with someone else''s mate" I pointed towards Resse who was weeping. "Sh calm down dear. After all she is your sister. Be a little open minded" mom said then looked at Reese. My mouth wide opened as I looked at her. Is she my real mother? Be open minded? Does being open minded mean I need to ept my mate having sex with another woman and specially if that woman is my sister? "Mom I am also your daughter, how could you be so partial towards me? I have obeyed everything you said all these years but still she is the only one you can see?" I couldn''t believe it. What''s happening around me?I feel like they are not even my family. They feel like strangers to me now. "Sh, how could you talk like that to your mother?" Dad walked forward angrily "for raising you all these years you are giving us such an attitude?" Suddenly a hard pnded on my cheek and I fell to the ground. I held my cheek and looked at him tearfully "dad...." "Don''t call me that. We have been raising you all these years, giving you everything you need but you are still not satisfied?" Dad rebuked angrily. "Was I wrong dad? I was just asking for justice for myself. Reese had-" "Shut up. What qualifications do you have to use Reese? If we had not picked you up and brought you back here you would have died long ago" dad shouted at me. His eyes are dark showing how angry he is. "Honey stop, what are you talking about?" Mom held his arm. Picked me up? I...am not their daughter? I was adopted? So finally I can understand why they are so partial even if I was true, they are siding their own daughter and who I am? An adopted one? "Sh dear, don''t take your dad''s word seriously. He is just angry and concerned about your sister" mom said immediately. Oh no, my adoptive mom in truth. Am I just an orphan? Then what right do I have to middle in? They are showing me my value and my right here. "Dad please don''t scold her" Reese stepped forward and squatted down before me "she is my sister after all" then she leaned towards me "do you think a man like him will ever take a woman like you as his mate? You should know your ce and don''t fool yourself more. Besides let me tell you the real truth....you never had his heart, not as a woman...nor as a mate" she whispered in my ear then moved away. "Dad please don''t be angry we are at fault today. She is just a victim here" Reese stood up and wept again. "This matter is serious but Avan even if you love Reese, Sh is your mate" Alpha said again. Mate? I wanted tough so loudly until my stomach hurts. I am just a mate that he needed to fulfill his bond. I turned to look at my mate. "You knew that I was adopted?" I asked him. "Sh, I am sorry but you also know as an alpha I need a mate who can rule beside me. To take responsibility for the whole pack. But you already passed the shifting age and you couldn''t help me in future. But even though you are weak you are still my mate and we have a special bond between us which can not be broken. So I hope you understand my problem too and cooperate with me. I promise I will give you everything that you need in your life and make you happy. But I can''t give you the title of Luna. Reese will help me in ruling and since both of you are sisters I believe you can get along with each other" Avan said. He did not reply to my question but avoided using other words. So he knew all along. Isn''t it? What did he say to get along? Does he think I want to live my whole life in the shadows while watching them have a good life? Can he give me anything I need? Instead he already took everything from me. "Sh dear, I know you are hurt. Take time and think about it. After tonight Reese will be dered as Luna but only for name because you are Avan''s real mate. So I think it will be good too besides we all can agree to this point. It will make everyone''s life easier" I heard Alpha making a decision. Am I a tool for them so that they can decide everything about my life? I am weak because I couldn''t shift. I should be broad minded because my half sister and my mate love each other? I should help him because I am his mate and it''s my responsibility? Suddenly my chest started to burn like something was rising inside me but I don''t know what? "Avan we should not have done that" Reese walked towards Avan and grabbed his arm. "Don''t worry, Sh is matured. She will understand the situation and help us" Avan patted her shoulder gently. Mate should make you feel warm and protected but I couldn''t feel anything more than EMPTY inside me. Staring at the person in front of me holding another woman who identally happened to be my half sister? If this is being called as mate bond then I refuse to ept such mate bond. I would rather die without a mate than being a shadow in the dark. I get up from the floor cing my hand over my chest. They don''t have any feelings or concern for me but just wanted to use me as a tool for their benefits. But I am also a living being who wants to be free. "Is that what you want me to do?" I asked Avan. He looked at me then smiled. "I know you will understand me clearly. No one knows me better than you. Sh I know you love me and I am so happy. I promise I will do everything for you" To live as a substitute for my mate? This is not what I expected nor did I ever imagine. He wanted me to give him a mate bond while he enjoys the warmth of another woman in his arms. Is this what we call a mate? If yes, then I refuse to have such a mate. "I never agreed with you," I replied with nk face. The smile on Avan''s face froze "what are you saying Sh? If you don''t agree then what will you do? Who will take care of you? Think about it again. I promised you, I will give you everything you need. Even after Reese be my Luna, you will not lose anything, you will also enjoy a life of luna in the backyard that''s it" I looked at Reese "have you ever thought what would happen when you find your real mate someday?" Reese looked startled. "Sh, what are you talking about? Say yes to the young Alpha" I heard my adoptive father say. But I am careless now. I don''t even care about what he thinks or says. I am not rted to him but all these years of helping me I wanted to be grateful but with the p he gave me I have returned all the kindness to them. "You are my mate but you are never satisfied with me yet you hooked up with my half sister because she can shift? And adding to that you want me to ept your proposal and be a shadow of your strength?" I asked. "Sh it''s not like that, you-" Avan started. "I don''t need that. Save it for yourself" "Sh, it''s not like that. Reese is your sister after all. You can get along and we will make peace for our pack" Mom smiled. I threw a look at her then looked at Avan "I am not qualified enough to be your mate. It will be better if you find the qualified one for yourself" I wanted him to be mine, he is my mate by all means but he never wanted me to be his mate just because I couldn''t transform myself. Is it my fault? "Look Sh even though I love her but I will never abandon you. You are my mate and of course you have all right with me. I will take your responsibility and you don''t have to worry about it" Avan smiled, still trying to show how reasonable his point is. Responsibility? If I didn''t know him better I would have believed his words. I shook my head. I lost everything today. Everythinges to light now. I am an outsider who doesn''t have any right, who is weak and pathetic. But if I have to choose between my mate and myself then I will choose me. Even if I am weak I won''t let them ruin my life and decide my fate. "I wanted your love but you never had any feelings for me. And now I don''t want anything from you, not even the bond" I gritted my teeth. He cheated behind my back but he is not guilty at all. "Sh what are you-" Since you don''t want me, I won''t bother you anymore. I looked at him closely and my heart only felt pain. There''s no love anymore except coldness. "I refuse to live under the same roof of a cheating couple. And this is why I Sh rke reject you Avan Lowe as my mate forever. Our bond is over from now on" I heard gasps from behind. Reese''s eyes widened with shock. "Sh what did you-" I didn''t hear what they said as I gathered my will and ran away from there. I want to go so far away from this ce. I did not look back as I ran. I could hear their voices calling my name. But now I really don''t care about anything. Not anymore. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Sh''s POV Is this what we get having mates? Pain, hurt, loneliness, heartbreak, coldness and Emptiness? I never knew who made this mate bonding. I want to question him or her, why? why? my fate is sealed like this? Why do I have to go through such a painful moment when the real adulterers are happy behind my back? Mate is your other half. This is what I have been listening to since I was a kid but now what? Do those words have any proof? Does someone who is your other half abandon you because you can''t shift in your wolf form? Is this what a mate does? Suddenly I felt pain in my chest. I clutched it as I ran. I don''t want to be here anymore. I never want to something. I stepped back immediately. "Sh? What happened to you?" I heard a familiar voice "why do you look so...." I looked up. His eyes widened as he stared at my face. An expression of shock crossed over his face "Sh you..." "Step back" I almost growled. I don''t know where I got such a strong voice but today my voice has be somewhat rough. Ben moved back as he still stared at me. "Go and ask your young alpha who is there fucking my so called half sister. If you go now then maybe you can see their beautiful moments or maybe even enjoy it" I spat angrily. On normal days I never curse. Not even bad words form in my mouth but today, I really don''t know what''s happening to myself. "Sh you ..your .. you''re..." "Shut up" I shouted "don''t fucking take my name. This kind of dirty ce should not exist" The pain in my chest started to increase, as it slowly spread throughout my whole body. I felt like I was burning inside. Is it because of the rejection? I can''t figure out anything. Not thinking much I turned around and started to run towards the pack entrance gate. "Sh stop, where are you going?" I heard Ben shout behind me. My head snapped back as I red at him "I dare you to follow me" that was all I said before I finally exited the Bright Shine Pack. The pack area is located near a valley and on the left side there is deep forest. It says no one of the pack went there. From the starting point of the forest falls in another area, which may belong to a Powerful pack and Bright Shine never dares to cross the boundary and offend them even though they never officially met. If I want to escape from the pack territory, I need to go to the forest. The moment I step in the forest I will be a rogue, no home, no family and no rted pack. I closed my eyes, shaking my head. I have lived in Bright Shine Pack for many years but there was not a day where I was able to get some respect from the pack members, other than Ben there was not a single soul who respected me. My existence in the pack was like an invisible one. Why is that? Because in the pack I am the only one who couldn''t shift in wolf form? Most werewolves shift at their 16 but it didn''t happen in my case. So they just got a big reason to mock. And I tolerated everything, I swallowed my pride thinking once I be Luna, then maybe they will ept me but today I got to know, I was just daydreaming for myself. Why? Because reality is far more different from the imagination. And in a blink of eyes all my hope, my dream, my love shattered; like a piece of ss that just slipped from my grasp. The pain in my body started to increase more. My body started to feel numb. Painfully I dragged my body towards the forest. Once I step in, everything will be done. I will no longer be recognized as a member of Bright Shine Pack. And now that''s what I really want. To cut all ties, actually I really don''t have any real ties with them, since they are not rted to me by blood. After all these years of humiliation,I gave them enough face and now I have paid everything. I can see the dark forest. There was not a sound, it feels like I am stepping into a deadly silent world where no one will be able to find me no matter how much they try. And I know, they will definitely try to find me, search for me everywhere. For them, I am still useful so they won''t let me slip so easily. If the situation was not shocking enough they wouldn''t let me run away like this. And I don''t want to see their faces. Not now, nor ever. The sun was already setting and it started to be dark. As I stepped in the forest darkness surrounded me. There was some faint light falling from the tree branches. My breath started to quicken, as I can hardly drag my body now. My bones felt like they were breaking and I couldn''t stand properly. I heaved a sigh as I leaned on the tree. This kind of feeling is something I have never felt before. Why is this happening so suddenly? "Ah...." I almost screamed when I felt a sharp pain in my body. I felt my body slip from the support and I rolled on the ground with pain but there''s no one who can hear it. Why am I feeling so much pain? Am I going to die? Just like this? My body felt numb and my mind started to stop working. I closed my eyes with tiredness. I can''t think of anything right now. The bones in my body be numb because of the severe pain. If I die here like this then it''s not worth it. I don''t want to die here. My senses started to drift in darkness. Then There''s some paint sounds. Though I want to look, I don''t have the strength to open my eyes. The sound of footsteps stepping on dry leaves on the ground faintly reached my ear. I can smell some unfamiliar scent. I don''t know when my smelling strength improved so that I can identify it with familiar to unfamiliar. "Oh...is...she...." "Shush" There seems to be more than one person. They are talking to each other and of course they can see me. "Not from our territory" one of them said. It was a rough voice whispering slowly. "Maybe a rogue passing by," another one replied. "But in such a position? I can hardly believe that" the first one said again. "This is somehow strange. Is it her first time?" What the hell are they talking about? What is my first time and what''s my position right now? Though I desperately want to know, I have no choice other than lying on the ground. I can''t move my body no matter how much I try. And now slowly, I felt my senses slip into darkness. "We can''t leave her here" "Let''s take her with us. Maybe Alpha can help" They whispered and then I felt myself being lifted. I don''t know where they are carrying me but since I took the chance to gamble with my own life; I will see where my fate leads me this time. A monthter.... In Bright Shine Pack Avan''s POV "Where is she?" I red at the members as they stood before me with their heads down. "It has been a month since she left and you can''t even find a little girl who doesn''t have any wolf power? Such worthless members" I growled and pped the table so hard that it cracked. "Young Alpha, we tried but she is nowhere to be found in the territory. Besides, no one saw her leaving the border'''' one of them replied. I closed my eyes "go away, I don''t want to see your face until you find her and bring her back" It has been a month since Sh left the pack. At first I thought she is angry and will cry her heart out. Then when she calms down I will coax her again. But I didn''t expected her to directly leave the pack like that. I knew my rtionship with Reese with affect her but to this extent, it was not something I am hoping for. Though our rtionship was not too intimate, we shared the bond of a mate bond and for a wolf, especially the one who is about to ascend the Alpha title; losing the mate will give a huge blow. Reese is sexy and attractive and was able to capture my heart but she is not my mate in reality where Sh was my destined and her presence always gave the support and strength. That night after she rejected me, I felt pain in my chest and it almost burnt me if dad did not give me the healing pill at the right time. I never thought Sh would refuse the offer and even reject me as her mate. After all those matters, I never wanted to lose my mate. Without your real mate you can''t get the Alpha title. But why did she leave? Didn''t I tell her to be responsible for her? I wanted to give her every right that Luna has except the title of Luna. But she refused it. "Is there still no news about her?" I turned around to see Reese standing on the doorstep with a worried face. I shook my head. She gave a small smile before walking towards me. "If it was not for me, she would still be here. I think I really overthink of our rtionship" I frowned. "You don''t need to say that. She is just angry so maybe that''s why she is hiding" "But she rejected you" I closed my eyes tightly. This is something I don''t want to hear. "You should leave now. I have work to do" I told her. Her face turned pale "Avan I know you are worried about Sh. She has been missing for a month now and I am also worried about her too. After all she is my sister. Though we are not rted by blood but all these years we grow up together and that is something we can''t change. Whatever happened we all has part in it" I looked at her. Her beautiful face is now pale and white. As tears run through her cheeks it makes pitiful. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me. "Don''t worry about her. Apart from us she doesn''t know anyone. So no matter what she can''t hide for long. She has to return back in here" I tried to confront her but I am not even sure for myself. Though I imed her as my mate but still I was not so close to her as I am with Resse. I just know she was my mate and I have some responsibility towards her and other than that I never get closer to her nor ever be intimate with her. So nowforting Reese I also don''t know how true my own words are. Reese raised her head from his chest "really?" I nodded trying to assure her. We both knew this day woulde and we even discussed it. We will work together to sort the situation and make Sh understand the situation but what I never expected was that Sh will be this hard to handle. I was about to say more when someone knocked on the door. "Alpha is calling you in the Astrology room" it was Ben who gave a poker face. Since Sh left he hasn''t talked to me. I nodded "I will go right away" He turned and left without any words. "Why is Alpha suddenly calling in the Astrology room?" Reese asked. "Maybe because of Priest Trivan. He was said to arrive in a few days. Dad was anxious so he invited him. I guess he has arrived so dad is asking to see the results of the stars" I replied. "Will there be anyplications?" "I don''t know. We can only find out after going there. Let''s go" I pulled her towards the Astrology room. When we arrived, there was already dad, mom, Reese''s parents waiting for us. Priest Trivan is a well known Astrologer, and his direction was never wrong. But he doesn''t stay in one ce and roams around the world. Dad has worked hard to invite him. "Come in Avan we have been waiting for you" dad said nodding before looking at Priest Trivan. I have met Priest Trivan a few times before this so I know his appearance very well. We settled in nearby couches where Priest Trivan sat in the center. "The pack is not going well these days. I don''t know what''s the main reason behind it. One after another problems arrive continuously. Please help us to give some direction" dad requested. Priest Trivan closed his eyes and threw some cowrie shells on the green cloth ced on the table. He chanted a few words which were whispered only to be hearable to him. Once he was done, he opened his eyes and eyed the cowrie shells which were spread in angles on the table. "There is something amiss in this pack" the Priest Trivan said, but before anyone could ask anything he continued "who has Scorpius as birth star constetion in this pack?" We looked at each other. When a child is born, the first thing we do is to identify his or her birth Star. There are many stars that could bring goodness and badness. So it''s an important matter to identify it. But having a Scorpius Star is kind of rare. "We don''t have anyone with this birth Star priest" dad replied. Priest Trivan shook his head "no, there is. The cmity in this pack is already predestined but because of the lucky star, it was suppressed so you all are living peacefully for years but...." He frowned as he looked at the cowrie shells again "this....the lucky is gone" "What is the lucky star Priest Trivan?" I could not help but ask. His head snapped towards me, still frowning, "your star Pegasi is too weak but you are fortunate to bond with a lucky star which has the ability to turn misfortune into fortune but why you lost that lucky star?" His sudden question puzzled me. What is he trying to say? Lucky star? I could not understand it. "What does that mean Priest Trivan" dad asked him. Priest Trivan looked at him "It was heaven who united the lucky star with this pack but suddenly the heaven''s wish twisted and the newly formed bond broke. And now there''s no chance for it to mend. The lucky star of your pack is gone to its destined ce" "That means...." Dad started. Priest Trivan looked calm "it means the fortune heaven bestowed this pack is left leading the cmity to take ce. This ce was fortunate enough to have the lucky star but s! That star is now destined to somewhere else" "What''s the solution to that?" Dad asked again. His expression shows he is really anxious. "There''s no solution other than facing the cmity. Alpha your pack, choose it yourself, now no one can stop it. My deviation ends here, I have said much and now couldn''t say more" then Priest Trivan got up and slowly walked out of the room leaving us behind. I walk towards dad "dad what does Priest Trivan meant? I can''t understand" Dad looked at me. His eyes are red. I thought he was angry but beforehand I knew a hard pnded on my face. The force was hard enough to turn my head to the other side. Mom gasped beside him. Reese called out my name. "You don''t know, are you that naive? You couldn''t understand this simple deviation? How could you be such a fool? You could not understand who was the lucky star that priest Trivan was referring to? Rack your mind and try to find who left the pack" he shouted then turned around and left abruptly. Mom looked at me before following dad. I held my cheek as my mind pondered over this matter. "Avan are you okay?" Reese was immediately on my side. Rack your mind and try to find who left the pack? Dad''s voice rings in my mind. Who left the pack? The more I think..... Suddenly something came up. The only one who left the pack is Sh.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. So it means She was the lucky star of Bright Shine, because her the cmity is being avoided but now that she left everything is falling apart. My eyes widened with shock. I don''t care about Reese''s concerned tone. My mind is filled with shock and realisation. The lucky start of the pack, Sh the lucky star of Bright Shine, but..... Unfortunately I already lost her, and now.... The cmity has already started. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Sh''s POV Pain.... Everything is painful.... I wanted to groan but I couldn''t open my mouth. My body feels sore and stiff. I tried to move my body but couldn''t, it felt like something my body had suddenly be too heavy to lift. I can''t even open my eyes but I can still hear some voices in the background which are certainly unfamiliar to me. "Has she woken up?" "No, I am watching her already" "Mom is anxious. She is praying so hard for it" "I am quite excited too. I never thought this day wille" "Nor did I but I am happy too" Who are these people? And what are they saying? I clearly remembered that I left the pack house at night. Did they find me and bring me back again? Just thinking about that made my heart clench. I don''t want to see their faces in this life. All my miseries are because of them and I will never forget it even after my death. "Oh look she is opening her eyes" I heard the voice again. I fought hard to open my eyelids. I can''t stay here for long and I have to see who are these people who brought me here. When I was finally able to open my eyes fully the first that greeted me was a white ceiling with golden pattern style. The colour itself looks luxurious let alone the golden pattern designed on the ceiling. Even the Alpha''s room of my ex pack was not this unique. I turned my head to the side and saw a beautiful face of a woman. She was all smiling. Her natural beauty is enough to amaze anyone. "Are you fine? Do you feel pain anywhere?" She asked with her sweet melodious voice. "I... " I tried to reply but my voice stuck inside my throat. I rubbed it slowly trying to soothe it. "Oh, your throat must be dry. Let me get you some water, it will help you rx" she said before getting up. After a few seconds she returned back and handed me a ss of water. "Here, have this first and rx yourself. We can talk slowly" I grabbed the ss and drank the water.. After the water drenched my sore throat I suddenly felt good. God, I don''t know how long it has been dry that I could not even speak a word properly. "Do you want more?" I shook my head. She took the ss from my hand and ced it on the side table. "You have been sleeping for a good time so your body must be stiff and sore. Since you woke up, you need to eat and nourish it to get healthy" I looked at her "how...long ..I -" "Oh, you have been sleeping for a month now" My eyes almost popped out. One month? I was unconscious for a whole month? Howe I ended up like this? Was I too hurt that I was unconscious for a month? "How did you...found me?" I asked. The woman smiled "our two pack guards saw you lying on the ground in the forest. They were patrolling the area so we can just put it in a way that it was a lucky coincidence from each side" So the voice I heardst time was from those guards. She is right. I was quite lucky that the ex member didn''t find me. Or I don''t know what I would have done after waking up. "Thank you for saving me" She smiled "you don''t have to. It was lucky that you were found and we are lucky that we have found you. After All the searching of all these years has been finally worthy" I frowned at her words. What is she saying? Years of searching? Searching what actually? Before I could ask her and get any answers the door opened and few people rushed in. Among them was a elderly female at the same age as my ex adoptive mother. But she is more elegant and beautiful. If you don''t look at her closely it''s impossible to predict if she is really old. She had tears in her eyes as she looked at me. Behind her was two men standing and looking at me. One of them was an elderly man and the other one was young and promising but both men looked strong and immovable. But what was more surprising was their eyes. It''s the most beautiful and rare type of orbs that I have ever seen in my life. How beautiful! They are purple. I have once heard that in the wolf tribes there are some who ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . have purple eyes but none of them actually saw one so the rumours just stayed in the story. But now seeing it with my own eyes I really wanted to scream that I have actually witnessed it with my naked eyes. "How are you darling?" The sweet voice of the elderly woman broke my trance. "I ..I am fine" I replied. Her voice filled my heart with warmth and her gaze was so gentle like a mother staring at her daughter. I have seen such a gaze when my ex mother used to look at Reese, but she never looked at me that way. I always used to wonder until that night when everything was disclosed before me. "I am so grateful that you are fine" she suddenly sobbed. The elderly man walk forward and ced his arm on her shoulder. "Why are you crying now? She is here already but you''re still crying?" The woman nodded her head and wiped her tears before gazing at me again. She smiled before slowly moving and sitting on the bed beside me. A feeling of warm breeze waved towards me suddenly. She held my hand gently. "I am so sorry for everything my dear. Because of ourck of attention you suffered a lot. I still curse myself for that" I frowned at her words "what are you saying aunt?" Her smile froze on her face for a few seconds then she shook her head "no my dear, it''s not aunt. Our rtion is much more stronger and closer than that" I couldn''t understand what she meant. I tried to calcte every possible way but still couldn''t find any answers. These people, what are they saying? I looked at the person before me. I have never seen her. She is not familiar to me but still she doesn''t feel like a stranger too.This is something I couldn''t understand why? "What does that mean?" I couldn''t help but ask. "Do you know who you are?" She asked instead. "I... My name is Sh and I used to live in Bright Shine Pack" I replied. But she just smiled warmly and said "sweetheart Sh is not your real name" My eyes widened with shock. What does she mean by that? Is Sh not my real name? But how does she know that? My identity was a fake one that I have been living for so many years already? How bright and it''s clearly stating what she is saying is true. And that''s when I started to understand that everything will be changing in my life along with my identity. "If....I am not Sh then who am I?" I asked her. Since my fake parents already faked everything and made me a joke in this world then I need to know who I actually am. "You..." The woman smiled again "are my daughter and your name is Savannah" My heart skipped a beat hearing the confession. Her daughter? How? Howe I suddenly be her daughter? "How could that be possible? I used to live in Bright Shine Pack. But none of you have ever visited me before. How could I believe in these words?" I asked her. "What a joke!" The young man eximed "you were never rted to them in the first ce, nor you could ever be one of them. What they told you is a lie, a biggest lie about your origin" My heart started to ache. What''s all these? In a second my name changed and now even my identity is changed. I was an orphan but in reality I am not? "We never visited you because we didn''t know you were living in that small pack" the elderly man replied "if we knew I would have taken you from there. You don''t deserve to live in such small ce with so much barriers" What''s happening here? I really can''t understand anything. "I....I don''t know. I can understand anything" I shook my head. After waking up, how much shock am I going to get? "Sweetheart don''t stress" the elderly woman said with concern "years ago when you were six years old there was a sudden fire in our pack. In that tragic night many of our pack members lost their life in that fire and also that is the night when you went missing. Your father and me and your brother, we are busy rescuing the people and though we kept you far from the fire under protection but when we returned you are already gone. We tried to search for you everywhere but failed to locate you. I know we are at fault but we never thought someone would take advantage of the situation and will steal you away from us. After that we kept searching for you all these years but still couldn''t find any traces for you until one month ago when our patrolling guards found you in the forest" "We didn''t know that it was you. But we are d our guards did bring you back. We are all happy and nervous too. But we trusted our prediction but still we needed to wait until you woke up. And as expected we were right" The elderly man said. "But after all these years how can you be so sure that it was me?" I asked them. It''s not like they could take any girl as their daughter without any reason. The woman smiled "our n is different from others and we also have something that keep us being different from others" "How?" I asked again. "The reason you were unconscious is because you broke through your average level and awakened your wolf," she replied. My heart jumped. My wolf? I also have my wolf? Back in the pack all of them already transformed except me. That''s why they never respected me because I was weak. "Wolf? But I never transformed before when I reach my age" "Other average wolves transform when they reach 16 but our n is different. We don''t transform until we reach 18. It is our blood connection and transforming at 18 gives us more energy and makes us stronger than normal wolves" the elderly man exined. Transformed at 18 and awakened wolf? Is this the reason that I couldn''t transform back in there? "But there are also two things that are rare and only happen after our first transformation. Our Moon pack has a mark that makes us special. First thing is after transformation we will get a mark pattern on our back and the second thing is purple eyes. In the entire wolf tribe only our blood people has the purple eyes" Purple eyes? I noticed that both men have purple orbs. That is simr but when did I get one? "Here" the young woman handed me a mirror. Hesitated, I grabbed the mirror. When I gazed in the mirror I almost fainted seeing myself. When did it happen? My eyes....it''s purple? Shock ran down like blood in my veins. My eyes are purple. Does that mean what they said is true? I really found my real identity and my own family? I looked up and gazed at them. They smiled at me warmly. A kind of feeling that I never felt. My decision of leaving that pack is the best thing I could ever do and ever did in my life. "I am your mother and my name is Astrea" the elderly woman referred herself "and he is your father Micah and your elder brother Devak and she is your sister inw and your brother''s mate Tanea" I looked at them one by one. Though it has been a few minutes since I got to know about them, my heart does not feel ufortable at all. Instead it was filled with a warmness that I never felt before. Is this the feeling that people feel when they spend time with their family? I don''t know what to call this but I am d and my heart is peaceful. They all said unison "Wee to Snow Moon Pack dear Savannah" And this time I felt weed from the deepest part of my heart. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Savannah''s POV Two dayster.... "Have this, our special healing soup," mom said, cing the bowl on the table , then smiling. Her smile is so warm and gentle that it chokes me everytime she is with me. I never felt what mother''s love would feel like but now that I am currently experiencing it, I couldn''t help but feel so grateful for my choice to leave. "Savannah what happened? Why are you crying my dear?" mom stroked my head lovingly. She has a concerned expression on her face. I shook my head "nothing, I was just d I decided to leave from the previous pack. If it was not for that I would still be stuck in there" Mom smiled as she grabbed my hand and held it tightly. "You know even if you stayed there you wouldn''t be the same as before. Before you shift, your body will be simr to those of an ordinary human but once you shift your body gradually takes the change. It will increase your hearing, make your eyes sharper, and your bones will be stronger. And the mark on your back will enhance you and your wolf 2 times in each eclipse" I was stunned. Do things like that really happen? I have never heard of such things before. Though there is some myth saying in books, who will believe those written words without any evidence? But now that mom ced these words, I couldn''t help myself but truly believe. "Enhance 2 times more?" Mom nodded "I know it''s hard to believe. You will understand these things once you experience it personally. The mark on your back still blur so in next eclipse it will bloom and we will know what kind of mark you got" "Mom, what kind of mark does dad and bro have?" Momughed "your dad has a Snake mark on his back and about your brother..." She sighed "I don''t know how that child got Eagle?" Seriously Eagle? I really wanted to see those beautiful wings spread wide with a piercing stare. Isn''t it amazing? "Mom, are you joking behind my back?" Mom and I turned to look at the annoyed face of my brother. He was holding a bouquet in his hand and slowly strolled inside still looking annoyed. Mom threw a boring look at him "who got free time to talk about you? Do you think I don''t have other things to do?" I pressed my lips in a thin line trying not tough loudly. Mom is really a tease while knowing Devak is annoyed. My brother did not bother to continue arguing as he turned to me and shed a heart warming smile. "Here, I have got all the fresh flowers in our garden. It will definitely make your day" he handed me the bouquet. I can smell the freshness of the flowers. After the shift I can even smell things which are far away. "Thank you" I grabbed the flower and smelt it again. My whole body rxed instantly. "We have a garden too?" I asked. Devak nodded "of course we do. Once you feel better Tanea will take you for a tour so that you see the pack. Besides dad also nned to dere to the pack about your arrival" My arrival? Yes, I was lost years ago and came back like a stranger to everyone. If I was not taken from my family that night, my life would be better and I wouldn''t have faced those insults again and again. Back then I thought there''s no one who will stand by my side and raise my voice for me. Besides Ben no one respected me at all, not even my so-called mate who always pretended like he didn''t know me in public. Just thinking about it I can''t help myself but feel burning inside. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. "Savannah, are you okay? " I heard mom ask. I nodded "I am fine, just remembered some past moments" "You should try not to think of that" Devak said "if you feel annoyed then just let me know, I will invade their territory and make everyone pay for it" His voice sounds like joking but gazing at his face I could say that no, he is not joking at all. His purple eyes flowing like ready to kill anyone. And instead of being scared I only feel warmth in my heart. This is how a brother should be isn''t it? Protective towards his sister. "Devak don''t scare your sister like that" mom scolded. Devak rolled his eyes "mom, we, the Snow Moon Pack are not cowards. Even the five years old kids in our pack can fight with tigers in the forest. Let Sav''s mark grow fully then everyone will see how powerful she is" Mom shook her head and turned to me "don''t listen to your brother. This man only knows how to kill and torture people. I always wonder how Tanea manage to handle him" "I have ways to make her listen to me, '''' Devak replied shamelessly. Mom''s head snapped towards him again "you brat, you dared to say such things in front of your sister. You have be too bold Devak do you want me to put you in your ce personally? You want to ruin my daughter" My brother pursed his lips but didn''t reply. So he really fears mom. I giggled. "Mom, it''s not like she is a kid anymore. Besides, she will find her mate soon" Devak retorted. Hearing that the smile on my face suddenly faded. It said that a werewolf only finds their mate once in their lifetime. And I have already rejected the bonding. May moon goddess be angry for rejecting me but I could not live with such a cheater in this life. But the pain of rejection will always hurt me no matter how much I try. "I don''t think so," I said slowly. "What?" Devak frowned. I looked up " I already got mate when I was living in the previous pack but at the end I rejected him" "What?" Devak looked shocked. "Savannah" mom gasped "you have already found mate?" I nodded. "Why did you reject him?" Devak asked. "I rejected him the day I left the pack. That night was supposed to be a great one because it was the throne ceremony. But unfortunately I found out my mate was cheating with my so-called sister. They asked me topromise and live in the shadows. I didn''t agree so I rejected him and left" I exined. "That bastard" Devak clenched his fist "how dare he betray you like this. Is he asking for a death? A small wolf like him is not a match for me. I can even strangle his neck without shifting at all" "Devak calm down. Don''t rush things. Those low lives, first they stole my daughter and now they wanted her to be a substitute. They dared to do such a thing, your father and I will discuss it thoroughly but before that you are not allowed to take any action. Do you understand?" Mom asked. "Fine" Devak nodded. "Mom it''s fine, you don''t have to do anything. I don''t even want to hear their names. Whatever they had done, I want to do it personally" I held her hand and found it slightly warm. "Are you sure?" Mom asked with her gentle voice. I nodded "yes" "Since you have decided then I won''te in your way. But your dad still need to know about this matter" mom replied. I nodded again "okay" "You need to rest well and heal your bodypletely. Since you have awakened your wolf it will take a month for her to finally get consciousness for sleeping so long. And in next eclipse you will get your full power" "When will be this next eclipse?" I asked. Mom smiled "2 yearster. Till then you need to take good care of your body so that you can prepare yourself to handle the change" I nodded "okay" I never thought the process would be this long but it''s worth the wait because this time the waiting wouldn''t hurt me and I can find ways to learn everything in the meantime. "Rest well, I will go and prepare lunch" mom said and got up. "I will send Tanea" Devak smiled then followed mom out of the room. I leaned back on the headboard of the bed and closed my eyes. My life finally changed after all those struggles. 2 yearster.... "Are you ready?" Tanea peeked inside the room. I brushed my dress over my thighs then sighed. 2 days ago dad told me about a Pack Union Party which is held every 3 years. Where all the Pack will join. It is a kind of arrangement to meet people from other packs and also to find your mate. I am not worried about finding a mate because thest betrayal was enough to teach me a good lesson. So whether I have a mate or not doesn''t matter anymore. Besides I have found my family which treats me like a treasure and a pack which showed me what respect is. 2 years ago when dad announced about me before the pack members I almost had the idea of being rejected. But to my surprise all the members cheered saying my name and weed me so warmly that I almost cried. Then after a month as mom said I also found my wolf. She has been sleeping for so long that I could hear her yawningzily. When I heard her mind linking me I was overjoyed. I always thought I am someone without an inner world but reality is far different from the imagination we predict in mind. Because you won''t know when nature takes its action and changes every prospect. And now staring at myself in the mirror I feltplete. "I think so," I replied, still looking in the mirror. "I told you this dress suits you. But unfortunately you didn''t believe me" Tanea, my brother''s mate and also my sweet sister inw shed a smile as she walked in. Tanea almost dragged me to shop from one store to another. And finally after a good torture of dressing she pointed towards the dress I am currently wearing. The purple gold design dress is too beautiful to resist. It is off shoulder and has split cut from thigh to the end of the dress . What is more attractive is the golden design on the silk dress. My purple eyes matched the dress so well and it fitted on me like a second skin showing my perfectly curved body. After the shift my body structure also transformed and there was no sign of past me reflected on current me. "Hmm...I love the dress though" I nodded. Taneaughed "of course you do. I knew it already. Your eyes glittered when you saw this" "Your observation is too good" "Am I not good? That''s why that arrogant brother of yours is head over heels for me" Tanea chuckled. I rolled my eyes "uh..Na..na....no lovey-dovey now" "Why are you jealous?" She smirked. "What if I say yes?" I raised my eyebrows. Truly speaking I am jealous of her and my brother. They are sobin love that for a single person like me would like to burn myself alive for living. Inside my heart I wanted to be such a mate too but it''s not like everyone is dated to have a happy end like those stories in novels. "Oh... You-" Tanea could notplete as the door opened again and mom showed up. "You girls are still talking here. Your dad and brother are waiting outside and oh my ... My dear girl you look so beautiful" I smiled "thanks mom" "And Tanea you better watch your mate. Don''t let him get jealous at the party. You knowst time ..." Mom warned. Tanea grinned "don''t worry mom. I got it" "Let''s go then. Those men are too impatient to wait for another minute" mom said and weughed. It didn''t take too long to reach the venue. It is two km away from our pack house. The venue was located in the huge mansion which was built during our forefathers'' time. The mansion is decorated in old style but it still looks ssy and beautiful. This is my first time in 2 years to attend a party. Even in my previous time, though I have heard about it but was never able to see it personally. When we walked inside the hall, it was crowded. Many alphas and their families joined the party. It says that in another wolf family there are only three packs which have acquired the top three positions and managed to stay stable. The number one Pack is the mysterious Dark Forest Pack. Second one is our Snow Moon Pack and the third one is the Bright Shine Pack which is also my ex pack. "This is crowded" Taneamented looking around. "You better stay by my side, woman" I heard Devak warn her. I rolled my eyes. Where will she go leaving him anyway? This man seems arrogant but he is too possessive about her. "Come on Dev, it''s not like I am running away or something" Tanea almost chuckled. "I will tie you to bed if you even dare to think like that," Devak whispered. But I heard. Hell with my sharp hearing power. I really don''t want to hear their dirty talk and spoil my mood. I moved closer to mom and held her arms. The announcer suddenly announced our arrival. "Herees the Snow Moon Pack" I followed my mom''s lead and entered the main hall. Everyone''s head snapped towards us but I didn''t feel shy or awkward. I have already changed from my previous temperament. I put on a small smile and looked at everyone confidently. But while switching my gaze from one face to another my gaze met with a certain someone which immediately boiled my blood to its highest peak. The familiar face of my ex. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Avan''s POV "You have to attend the event tonight. Even if there was not a stable formation we couldn''t miss this opportunity either" dad said with his serious tone. "I don''t know what ungrateful things we have done that we are facing in such a situation" I heard mom say. She couldn''t hide thement in her tone "my son has lost his actual mate after the rejection and now even if he already taken the throne, the position is not stable " Dad shook his head "there''s nothing that could be done. The only thing that we arrange to avoid misfortune is to get along with other packs and build a solid rtionship. We have been facing numerous attacks over the past years and it has weakened our power and now it''s affecting our position in the list. We can''t keep up with the position then it will only mean that our n will be facing demise soon" Mom gasped "alpha, how could you say like that. There''s also many packs who never got positions, are there? But they are still living. Then howe our n will face such cmity?" "Mom, what dad said is right," I said to her. "We have been holding our position in a powerful list of packs and in this way we have gotten many enemies who want to eliminate us and take our position. So if unfortunately we lose the position then they won''t leave a chance to attack us" "But....but..." Mom couldn''t utter words as she looked so shocked. In these two years the pack matter has be more difficult to handle. After having the Alpha title I did everything I could to make it stable but my own power is notplete to take the full charge of everything. This kind of tragic thing has never happened before. And all of this has started after Sh left the pack. Thinking about her I couldn''t help but feel my heart sour. She used to be the sweet and kind girl, who would do anything I ask without any hesitation. She is my mate though our bond is broken after the rejection. But only if I can find her, there''s still a chance to make everything good between us and to rebuild our bond. But the matter is even after two years we still couldn''t find a little trace of her. I can still remember the way she looked at me two years ago. Those teary eyes with so much usation. It always hunted me every night I went to bed. I simply couldn''t forget it no matter how much I tried. I thought I could tell her about Reese slowly and make her understand the situation. And I believe she would have agreed if she didn''t find us having sex that evening. I really wanted to find her and bring her back in the pack and exin to her about the situation but before I could step forward she ran away. Two years have already passed two years. "I will go and make arrangements" I informed before leaving my parents and walking towards my room. There will be many packs tonight that will be joining the event. Because of the pack work it''s not likely possible to meet the Alphas of other packs frequently. But tonight I have all the chances to mingle with them. Even the Dark Forest Pack and Snow Moon Pack will be there. These two packs are the most mysterious one among the werewolf world. Hopefully I can get a chance to have some conversations with them. I stood before the mirror and got myself ready for the event. I was wearing my zer when my room door opened. I looked through the mirror and saw Reese standing there with her glittered ck dress. "You are ready?" I asked. She gave a sweet smile before walking forward seductively "Luna said it''s a great event and I should take much time to get ready and make you wait. So I chose my simple dress. How do I look?" "Good," I nodded. She pouted "you are not romantic anymore" she ced her hand on my chest and smiled sweetly "Avan why are you distancing from me so much? We were so good before then what happened to us suddenly?" I removed her hand "Reese it''s not time for that. We need to attend the event and represent our pack in the event and it won''t be good to bete there" "Fine, for the reputation of our pack I will listen to you" I nodded and grabbed my car keys before heading out. As the event is major, few members of the pack attend to show the power and union. It didn''t take longer to reach the venue. The Luxurious mansion looks extraordinary and it is also decorated only for tonight. "Wow, this ce is so beautiful. This is my first time attending such an exclusive event" Tina eximed looking around. "Let''s head inside" I said before walking in with Reese. And the rest of the members followed behind us. In these two years of being The Alpha, I have met a few other leaders and got along with them. So in the crowd there are few familiar faces I can spot. After getting along with my other friends the announcer announced the arrival of the Snow Moon Pack. "Is not it the second best Pack" Reese said looking towards the entrance. My gaze followed her. I was also looking forward to the meet. But all my excitement dropped down when a very familiar face came into view. A face that was hunting me all these years. When she suddenly looked up and our gaze collided, my breathing stopped for a moment. Her eyes, those purple orbs looking straight into my soul and I could feel my heartbeat stopped instantly. Her facial, her skin, her dressing and even her aura has changed. It felt like I was looking at a stranger and a kind of new person. "Isn''t it Sh?" Reese gasped "how.....she entered the Snow Moon Pack?" The members of Snow Moon Pack went forward and mingled with others. Sh averted her gaze then didn''t nced back. Like she didn''t know us at all. "Howe her eye colour changed? I never knew any trick like that?" Tina said. "Tina, don''t talk too much," Ben hissed at her. "I never thought Sh would run away and get involved with the Snow Moon Pack. If she does anything wrong won''t the other pack me us?" Reese said with a worried expression. That''s what is hunting me now. A sweet nerdy girl, howe she got involved with the Snow Moon Pack? "I think I should talk to her. After all, mom and dad are worried about her" Reese said again. I nodded. She and Tina walk towards Sh who was standing with another woman. I didn''t go forward but I still can hear them. When Reese was near her she called out. "Sh? Is that really you? Oh my god, I am so happy to see you sister" Reese eximed. Sh''s eyes snapped towards her. Her beautiful purple orbs look damn seductive. "Who''s your sister?" Her voice is harsh and there''s no trace of her sweet voice. "Sh, why are you behaving like that?" Reese asked with a choked tone "we have been trying to find you all these years. Don''t you remember us anymore" "How could I forget such eventful memories you all have given to me Reese rke. You couldn''t wait anymore to give me a reminder, can you?" Sh said with her hard voice. My hand curled into fist. Even her personality has changed now and there''s no sign of that sweet charming girl anymore. How has she changed so much in these two years? What kind of thing did I miss? "Sh, I know you are still angry at me. But pleasee back to us. We are looking for you everywhere all these years. Mom and dad also worried about your safety. Don''t you think it''s time to go back home?" Neesha asked. Sh let out a chuckle "home? Is that ce my real home? Even after this year you and your graceful acting has not changed a bit. I should congratte you for that. You have already achieved your goal. Now tell me, are you satisfied?" "Sh, what are you talking about?" Reese sobbed. Few people turned to look at them. This is getting more serious than normal talk. "Drop your act. I am not interested in entertaining myself with it" Sh said seriously. "Sh, how could you be so heartless to humiliate your own sister like this? What was her fault that she is worried about you? You are such a trash for not knowing it. It was you who cowardly ran away from pack and shamed the whole-" before Tina could finish as sound of p echoed inside the hall. It happened so fast that I couldn''t even see it clearly other than the sound that was still buzzing in my ear. Tina fell on the floor with a loud thud. Her cheeks are swollen with redness. My eyes fell on Sh who''s hand was still hanging in the air after pping. I couldn''t help myself but feel shocked. Sh never shifted in her wolf form and her power is limited as an ordinary human being. But this kind of pping is not something an ordinary human could do to a werewolf? Howe she became so strong? Savannah''s POV I looked at the woman on the floor. She had a stunned expression as she held her cheeks. Not only her but Reese too locked shocked. "You better learn first how to use your words and when to use it before opening your pretty mouth. Otherwise I can''t guarantee if it will only end up with a p" I hissed before looking at my so-called sister. "And you, stop forming any kind of rtionship with me when we both know the truth. It will be more better if you just refrain yourself from poking your nose in my matter" Reese looked at me with a shocked face. Suddenly another person joined her side. "Sh what happened to you? Why have you be so wild? You are not like before" I smiled looking at Avan "It''s quite funny to hear such thing from you Mr. Avan" He opened his mouth to say more but suddenly another voice interrupted in the middle "what''s happening here?" I heard Devak''s heard voice from behind. He was instantly on my side and threw a re at Avan. "Mr Lowe I would like to know what kind of thing you have with my sister that your pack members are insulting her?" Avan was shocked butposed himself instantly "I didn''t know Sh is your sister Mr.." "You don''t need to know me Mr. Lowe. And it will be better if you just keep your distance from my sister. And also don''t call her any fake names" "But it''s not her fake name she is Sh and she is the member of our pack" Avan insisted. "Since when Bright Shine is qualified enough to im my sister as your pack member?" Devak mocked. Avan''s expression changed instantly. His eyes colour changed but it didn''t affect Devak a bit. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "Don''t forget it''s a major event Mr. Lowe. If you want to have a good fight then invite me anytime. You should know the right ce before deciding" Devak said before grabbing my hand "let''s go, dad is looking for you to introduce you some friends" I nodded and nced towards Avan who was still raging. I smirked before leaving with Devak and Tanea. I never thought leaving mom''s side would bring me to meet those people. If I had known it then I would have gone with her and listened to theirdy gossip. At least it will be better than arguing with them. Later dad made me meet many of his friends. I never knew he had such a huge circle of connection in the werewolf society. Even the friends of mom were so huge in number and it almost gave me a headache. After sometime I excused myself from the crowd and went towards the bar to have some drinks. I wanted to invite Tanea but that possessiveness of a brother of mine didn''t let her leave his side. I rolled my eyes at them then shook my head. Just when I took a few sips of my drink the announcer announced again about the arrival of a new Pack. I looked up only to find some people walking in wearing ck clothes. They have fur coats and look quite different from others. I didn''t hear clearly about the pack name but the members seem quite mysterious. I shrugged my shoulders and continued to enjoy my drink. I turned around to look at my family again. Dad and mom are busy talking to their friends. Devak was also talking to his friends but I can see him holding Tanea close to him. In these two years I have witnessed so many moments of them that somehow it made me feel so envious. I sighed and was about to order another ss when I suddenly felt a burning in my chest. I never felt it before in these two years other than when I first shifted. Then.... Mom''s wordse to mind. My birthmark. Didn''t she say it will happen during the eclipse. But is there any eclipse today? The burning sensation increased as I started to gasp for breath. I wanted to call my brother or mom or dad but I could not utter a sound. Controlling myself I slowly walked away from the crowd. Once I was outside I felt my breath a little better but the burning was still there. I rubbed my chest trying to calm it down but couldn''t. My body swayed as I walked and after a few seconds I felt my body fall. I have no control over my actions. I almost thought my body would crush on the cold tiled floor. But before it happened my body was hanging in the mid air. An arm sneaked around my waist. And my front collided with a hard chest. A scent of hard masculine hit my nostrils. I opened my eyes only to see a dark silhouette. "Hmm..... Purple girl" the person uttered with his dark rough voice. I wanted to say something but my voice seemed to be stuck in my throat. I saw with my blurred vision, he leaned down and whispered. "You can''t wait to fall in my arms...." My vision blurred and my head fell back. Before I lost all my conscience I heard him whisper again. "Mine" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Savannah''s POV I look around only to see darkness. Where am I? In the middle of silence I can only hear hissing sounds. I craned my neck to see the source but the darkness consumed my sight and apart from the sound I couldn''t hear anything. "Mom....dad.....Devak...." I shouted their name but the silence was the only thing that hit me back. Where are they? Was not I with them in the party then howe I ended up in this darkness. Where exactly am I? I forced my body to move but it seems like a barrier that is forcing me down. What kind of force is this? So strong that I never sensed before. My mind became a mess and I felt a headache forming on my forehead. Where am I? I questioned myself. But this darkness is not letting me see anything. Even if my eyes are wide open, all I see is ck. It feels like I have fallen in the hell of darkness and there''s no way for me to get up. I need to find them, I need to find my family. "Mom...." I shouted again. I never want to lose them. I have suffered almost all my grown up years but now just thinking of parting made me shivers. "Dad.....where are you? Devak, Tanea can you hear me? Where are you all? Please help me" My voice suddenly choked as it faded through the darkness. The hissing sound increased but I don''t know what it is. If I was able to find some source of light I would find a way to get out of this ce. Yes, light, that''s what I needed. I need light. My head started to warm up and then the warmness spread over my whole body. What''s happening? It felt like I was glowing... Then... suddenly the p sound rings in my ear. A ray of light fell before me then it started to spread widely at lightning speed. My eyes focused on the light then my eyes roamed above. My heart stopped beating and a shiver ran down my back. Is that.... Therge red orange wings spread widely in the air as it''s majestic body shone with light. I really can''t believe my eyes. Is it real? I was about to get up when its wings pped and the light around its body blinded my eyes. "Savannah" "Savannah wake up sweetheart" I opened my eyes and in blurry vision I saw my mother''s familiar face looking at me. "Mom" I called out anxiously. "I am here sweetheart" she caressed my head. "Are you fine?" I nodded my head. I can feel sweat on my forehead. So all of it was a dream? But that bird looks so real. "Where am I?" I asked. "In your room. We were so worried when we couldn''t find you inside the party room. When we found you in the end you were sleeping outside in the garden area" I frowned "when you are back? I mean is the party finished?" Mom chucked "party? Dear it already two days passed of that matter" What? Two days passed? That means.... I looked at her with wide eyes. She chuckled again and about to say when the room door opened and Tanea''s figure showed up. "Hey, you woke up" she shed a warming smile. She was holding a food tray and ced it on my side table "it''s good that you finally decided to wake up or that overreacting brother of yours would have beat the pack doctors for sure" saying this sheughed. I couldn''t help but smile. Devak was always serious and possessive about me and Tanea. I rolled my eyes. When he is able to change his over possessive acts? "That man!" Mom sighed "let him be. It''s looks like he couldn''t digest his meal if he don''t beat anyone per day" We allughed again. Even in small matters Devak always caused huge fuss. No matter how we try to console he wouldn''t listen until he is satisfied with his inquiry. "Look, I brought breakfast here. Sav, you have been sleeping for two days and now that you have woken up, are you not hungry?" I nodded. I don''t even know when I atest time. 2 days ago? I shook my head. Now that Tanea has brought up the topic of food I can''t control myself as my stomach grumbled suddenly. Tanea and mom "Come on, I made chicken soup and mushroom pasta. And I have pancakes too. Let''s enjoy this then '''' Tanea served the food on a te then handed it to us before grabbing for her own. Just as I looked at the food my mouth watered and I immediately digged in. The soup tasted so good that I moaned delightfully. Tanea is a great cook and Devak always eats whatever she makes. He even praised her to death and I couldn''t deny that. Just eating this makes me feel like heaven. Avan''s POV "This is such an unexpected turn. Have you investigated this clearly?" Dad asked me. "I tried but the territory of Snow Moon Pack is hard to invade. They reside in the middle of forest and the forest is also itself a maze one. Those who don''t know the correct direction couldn''t pass through the jungle." Dad shook his head "this won''t do. I never expected that the naive looking girl would be rted to Snow Moon Pack. Have you examined her properly?" I nodded again "I have seen her dad and she is not that naive one in the past. She has changed a lot. Her personality and even her strength. Can you believe she pped Tina so hard that Tina''s face is still swollen. The doctor said she need 2 months time to full healed" Dad gave a serious look "the Snow Moon Pack is the second best in the whole werewolf world. Do you think it''s easy to maintain such a position year after year? Besides, the members of the packs are stronger than ours. Their one member can take down our three strong people. They are blessed one as they got the legendary sign" I frowned "legendary sign? What does that mean dad?" "Have you not observed it? The Alpha bloods are all purple eyed?" Then it hit me, yes. I saw the Alpha and the young alpha had dark purple eyes. Even Sh has the same purple eyes. I looked at dad "that means Sh is not involved with them but she is the real daughter of Alpha?" Dad nodded. The princess of Snow Moon Pack. She was my mate before our bond broke. I closed my eyes and shook my head. I should not have waited to give the mate position. I should not have cheated on her. If that incident never happened then Sh would still be living here with me. A wave of regret hit my heart. "You have been fortunate enough but now everything is lost. Even the Priest Trivan indicated to her" dad sighed. "Dad, this won''t do. Can''t we just try to mend the ties?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "I mean Sh is my mate. Even if the bond is broken it can''t be changed that we are destined. What we need to do now is to make Sh understand that I am her mate and she really could not break the ties with me. Once she agreed her family will gradually agree to the agreement due to their daughter''s Content held by N?velDrama.Org. happiness" Dad frowned "are you sure? She has already broken the bond with you two years ago. Besides even if you both get together because of the ties, there won''t be much connection like before" "It does not matter if it means she will be here with me as my Luna. Reese may be a strong female but in reality we are not bound by any ties or bond. It''s just a kind of sexual attracting that attracted me to her. But Sh is different. Besides now that she has a strong background and ability the pack members will not raise any voice about it. We have to talk to the Alpha of Snow Moon Pack. He is an Alpha himself and will surely understand this matter better" I smiled. "What about Sh? Do you think she will be willing to be with you after what you have done to her?" Dad asked. I smiled at him "even if she has changed, she is still a woman who loved me dearly two years ago. Even if she is showing a strong appearance I believe that in her heart she still couldn''t forget me. Once we convince the Alpha and Luna, I will woo her and will do everything she has ever dreamt. I just needed to instigate her past self a little and then she will ept me wholeheartedly. Though at present she might be angry but I can make her love me again" I assured him. "It''s hard. Though I have never interfered with your matters in the past, I wasn''t blind either. But since you are so confident then fine let''s try this in your way" dad replied. I smiled at him "thanks dad. This time I won''t let you down" I never thought that after two years she would be this beautiful. Those purple eyes are so seductive that I almost be so hard down there. Just thinking about my body bes hard, really hard. I need to release myself. I left my dad''s study room and walked towards my room. Just as I was about to open the door I heard Reese''s voice. I smiled. Before she could say I grabbed her and pushed her in my room. Closing the door I kissed her hard and shredded her clothes. Then without any warning I pushed myself inside of her. I closed my eyes feeling the warmth. Fuck, Sh''s face shed in my mind. Soon I will have you in my bed Sh. Like now, I can''t wait to feel myself inside you. Very soon. Savannah''s POV After the good meal mom and Tanea apanied me. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. I looked at mom and asked her "mom why I suddenly fell unconscious? It first happened when I shifted but it happened again. Mom smiled "have you forgot what I told you about your birthmark?" I nodded. "You have finally acquired your powers my love" My eyes widened. It somehow excited me to death. I have got my birth mark? I do remember when mom told me about it. But it was too long so I almost forgot the date. But what kind of mark have I gotten? My eyes fell on mom again " what kind of mark do I have?" Mom smiled before she caressed my cheek "you are so blessed honey. So rare..." Her eyes are watery. Oh she is bing emotional. "Mom .." "I am fine" she chuckled "I am just too happy for you sweetheart" she shook her head. I smiled looking at her. "You and Devak are kind of simr when ites to birth marks. He has eagle and you my dear you got Huma" Huma? What is that? "Huma?" I frowned. "Sav, you don''t know about it?" Tanea looked surprised. I shook my head. I have no idea about Huma. "Huma is a bird simr to the Phoenix. They are like fire" Tanea exined. "Really?" My eyes widened. Mom patted my hand "it''s said that though one one has seen this kind of rare bird and is only mentioned in legend. But it also said that having this bird means fortune" I still couldn''t believe my ears. Huma really? Just hearing it made me feel so excited. Then... Something shed in my mind. That dream... I saw a huge bird pping its wings and shining so brightly. Is that Huma? It showed up in the dream? If it was real then I have seen it with my own eyes. That was so beautiful beyond words. Finally after waiting for so long I have finally acquired my strength and power. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Savannah''s POV The following days went in peace. Other than practicing with pack members in the training field and enjoying a good meal I really don''t have things to do. Sometimes I enjoyed reading books in the library, which was founded by my grandfather in his time. The library has a good collection of books and I can find many varieties starting from biography to fine novels. I really do wonder how my grandfather managed to collect these huge collections. But I must appreciate his efforts and also his ways of thinking. The pack children can practice their study in the library and there are also some people who manage the library and also teach the kids book lessons to improve their skills. This kind of life is something anyone would wish for. I have suffered in the previous years, holding myself back and letting them bully me as they please. I thought even if others don''t see me as a human but atleast I have a family, and a mate. But in the end, it turned out they are the real reason for my suffering. A family that stole me from my own real parents and a mate who never considered me as one. It made me feel disgusted just thinking about mating. If I never saw them fucking behind my back and never caught them right handed, I would still be living in there. "Miss Savannah you are early today" I heard a familiar voice as I stepped inside the library. I smiled at the elderly woman who was sitting behind the ss desk. She has curly brown hair with a pair of blue eyes. She is the manager of this library. I walked forward and put the freshly plucked lilies on the table. "Good morning Martha, I was bored in the room. So I thought I could spend some time here. Do you have something special today?" Martha shed a warming smile "you have already read almost all of those books. But I think raw 7 will still have something that will keep you interested" then gave me a slight node. "Ah...raw 7 it is," I nodded happily. Reading books is fun. And grandfather''s collection of those romantic super novels are a line which is never going to be finished. "See you then Martha" I waved then walked inside the room where the bookshelves are kept. Grandfather had really thought greatly before proceeding his work on this library. It has 20 shelves and those are filled with ancient, modern, war, poetry, romance, biographies, medicine and many more that I even forget counting. Shaking my head I headed towards the 7th row. This shelf is an ancient collection. I frowned as I pushed my lips. Martha said this raw will keep me interested but all these are ancient history books. Roaming my eyes through the books something caught me. ''The History Behind The Wolves'' The title of the book is interesting. I smiled and took the book from the shelf. The hard cover has a wolf drawing on it in a dark silhouette. And the ink used to write the letters are bold and dark and the title was written in italic font style. Is this why Martha said this raw will keep me interested. And now holding the book, I am quite interested in it. I walk towards the table and sit down. Curiously I opened the cover of the book. The same title was written on the first page too. But there was a drawing of a river on it. I turned the page again. The first chapter was the description of the evolution of the wolves'' culture. Not getting any interest I turned a few pages then suddenly a ck wolf drawing came into view. My eyes stuck on the ink drawing on the page. It was beautiful. The fur and the silver-ck colour makes it so eye-catching that for a second I couldn''t take my eyes off. I dragged my eyes lower and read the word written below the drawing. Onyx Onyx? Is that a kind of wolf species? ~Wow so cool~ my wolf purred suddenly. "Shut up" I rolled my eyes. ~I am admiring things, what does it got to do with you?~ She barked in my head. Seriously? I chose not to pay attention to her as I looked at the page again. Indeed it''s beautiful. ~Finally you admitted it~ Red said again. "Stop it" I replied as I shook my head. I wanted to read about this Onyx wolf. As I prepared to turn the page a voice stopped me in the middle. I looked up to find Ginia standing there near the door. I frowned. "What happened? " Ginia was a 13 years old girl and also my cute student. I have been teaching fighting techniques and she is a curious little girl who always tries her best to learn every move. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. "Sister Annah, Luna asked me to call you in the mansion" she said as she breath heavily. "Mom?" I said with confusion. Mom never calls me like that. I looked at Ginia seriously. "Why is that?" I closed the book and gave her a look. "I don''t know, I swear, on the way I heard some talking that there are visitors and they are currently in the mansion" I was about to enjoy my free time but it has to be at this time? Feeling frustrated I put the book back on the shelf before heading towards the door. Who could it be? Visitors? But even if there''s one mom won''t call me like this. Why do I feel like there''s something strange in this matter? Forget it, I will know it once I reach there. Besides since mom called me, there must be something. "You don''t have toe with me. Go and y with others" I said to Ginia who nodded happily before running away. I walk towards the pack mansion. When I reach the entrance door I can hear noises from inside. Frowning, I stepped inside. "Savannah" mom''s voice rings in my ear. I looked up and about to say when I heard another female voice. "Sh?" My head snapped towards the side where I saw familiar faces. Instantly my body started to shake with anger. These people what the fucking hell they want now? They really have the guts to visit here. I walked towards mom''s side and looked at them nkly. "Sh my dear, so it''s really you" Salina sobbed. "When Reese told about you I didn''t believed first but now seeing you I finally realised it''s not a dream but reality" What an act! Why have I never found such truth before? I always thought those tears were real but today I can clearly see how fake they are. Farid patted on her shoulder before looking at me. "I am d we found you atst. You left so suddenly that it made us scared. We have been trying to find you all these years but never expected you to be here. But now that you are here, we are happy to see you" How shameless~ Red growled inside, ~seeing their face just increase my desire to drink blood~ "It''s not the time" I mumbled inside my head not giving any expression outside. "Sh I know you are disappointed with us but as your mother I will never want you to leave like that" Salina sobbed again. "Adoptive" I voiced out making her look surprised "I think you missed that part adoptive mother" "Sh what kind of tone are you using to your mother?" Suddenly Farid raised his voice loudly. "And who gave you the right to raise your voice on my sister?" Devak jumped in looking furious. If it was not for Tanea holding him back I fear he would have jumped on Farid and start fighting with him. "Mr. Farid, you better know where you stand before doing anything that will make you regretter. Besides, you also should know whom you are talking to. There are many things that happened in the past and for the sake of themunity and peace we are not voicing it out. But if you keep forgetting it then in the end we are not the one to be med" Dad''s cold voice rang in the living room. Farid looked taken aback by this as he sit there quietly. How can I ever think of him as my father? Who can''t even stand on his point let alone protecting his daughter. "Sh, we know you are angry but don''t behave like you don''t know us at all. We have raised you all these years and treated you like our own daughter. Why are you now insulting us like this? Don''t you have any feeling inside you?" Salina used. "Insulting?" Iughed out loud. "Seriously? Howe I didn''t know that you were treating me like your own daughter? Really I think in these 2 years you have forgotten how you treated me like your own daughter¡­.. since that is the case let me remind you then ...." "You treated me like your own daughter that''s why you scolded me everytime Reese use me for something I never did" "You treated me like your own daughter that''s why you always wanted me to stay back and don''t argue with others including my so called best sister when theyugh at me targeting my self respect" "You treated me like your own daughter that''s why you wanted Reese to rece me as Avan''s mate" "You treated me like your own daughter that''s why you wanted me topromise with Reese while she was sleeping with Avan behind my back" "You treated me as your own daughter that''s why you beat me for not agreeing with your disgusting n" "You treated me as your own daughter that''s why you look at me like I am a ve that you bought for your own use" With every line my voice raised. My anger rose and Red started to growl inside. Though she was sleeping while I suffered, she still has a clear conscience about that matter. And not a single thing stayed unnoticed from her. I felt mom linking her hand around my arm. "Sh...you .." "That''s enough¡­" mom suddenly snapped, stopping Salina. "I have heard enough of it. It''s better if this matter ends here" "But Sh is ou¡­." Salina seemed not to notice the situation as she insisted. "I dare you utter that word" mom challenged "she is mine, you are not the one who suffered the pain to bring her into this world. You are not the one who cried her heart out when she was stolen that night. You are not the one who suffered the immense heartache thinking about her all these years. All of this would not happen if you guys had not stolen my daughter that night. She suffered because of you and now you still have the guts to show your face in our territory and even dared to scold my daughter. Who do you think you are?" Mom suddenly growled. I was also surprised because in these 2 years she never showed such a ferocious attitude even when someone made mistakes in the pack. But now looking at her my eyes suddenly brimmed with tears. She was holding my hands tightly like protecting me from some evil creatures. Dad immediately rose from his seat and in a second he was standing beside mom. "Don''t anger yourself because of them darling, it''s not good for your health" he said softly to her. Mom threw a hard re at Salina and Farid who were wearing a stunned expression before turning her head towards me. "This ce is not for you to stand" then she turned to dad "Honey, please make sure to change all the furniture of this roomter then ask Priest to chant house cleaning Mantra to clear the air" Dad firmly nodded his head. "Let''s go darling, we should leave" mom tugged my arms pulling me with her. But before we leave she turned her head and look back at the couple again "you better don''t show yourself before me after today or that will be thest day of your existence" Then we left the room without throwing a second look. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Avan''s POV We all sat in the meeting room facing each other. The situation inside the room was dark and filled with silence. We originally nned to take Sh back in the pack. For that reason we worked hard to find the exact location of the Snow Moon Pack and sent Farid and Salina to persuade the Alpha and ce our point. But we didn''t expect that Farid and Salina would mess up everything. "It was already hard enough to trace their location in that forest maze. That was our chance to make everything right and all you had to do was soften your tongue and persuade them to let She back. But what did you two do? You can''t even perform a single task?" Dad red at Salina and Farid. "Alpha we have tried, but the Alpha of Snow Moon Pack doesn''t want to listen to any of our words. It''s Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. hard to make them understand the situation. And Luna became suddenly angry when Salina tried to persuade Sh" Farid replied. "What have you said to Luna?" Dad roared "do you have any idea how their pack works? And who has the most importance there?" Dad groaned loudly " Snow Moon Pack is not something that belongs to ordinary. It said that their pack has been existing for such a long period of time that it has almost be legendary. And the most important person in the pack is not the Alpha but the Luna whom you offended already. The Alpha of Snow Moon Pack has given equal rights to his Luna so going against her means you are going against the whole pack. It''s better that the discussion luckily happened to be inside otherwise I think you would not be able to return back safely" Salina gasped loudly. Even mom''s eyes widened. I was also surprised when I heard that before. The history of Snow Moon Pack is something unique. It''s not like our pack or other pack that exists in this werewolf world. They have different kinds of traditions which arepletely opposite to us. "Are they that dangerous?" Mom asked. Dad looked at her "how do you think they are still staying in the second best position over centuries? Do you think it''s an easy task to maintain?" "Alpha, even though the Alpha and Luna of Snow Moon Pack are aggressive, Sh has been with us for so many years. That girl even changed so much that I didn''t recognise her" Salina said after some time. Hearing her say that, a certain purple orbs shed in my mind. I could not forget that beauty no matter what I do. "I have investigated that matter" dad replied "we all regarded Sh as a human when she was staying here but it was not actually true. The Snow Moon blood does not transform until they reach 18 years of age. Before 18 their body and personality stays like an ordinary human being but once they awaken their work and shift themselves they change. Not only with their body shape yet with their personality. It''s like a growth in them to be stronger and sharper" "But she is still our adoptive daughter even if it was in name though" Salina insisted. I frowned looking at her. Howe she be so dumb like this? Even Sh was not this dumb when she was still in her ordinary form. "You still got the point to argue?" Dad narrowed his eyes "Snow Moon Pack already knows what you did years ago. You stole the baby from them and if it was an ordinary one then I don''t think there will be much fuss in this matter but currently it is not. Even if you stole and raised her, once she shifted she will discover it herself even without you telling her the truth. Besides you can''t im Sh as your adoptive one because Sh has already reached her prime age and she already proved that she is one of them isn''t it?" Salina didn''t reply but bit her lips. "Alpha, how did she prove that?" Reese asked suddenly. Dad looked at her. And from his expression I can tell he is not pleased with her. The situation has changed and it''s not like it was 2 years ago. I sighed inwardly. "Snow Moon Pack gens have a unique personality and the proof of it is the purple eyes. In the whole werewolf tribe it was only them who got the purple orbs" I exined. Reese looked at me then nodded. Her face was pale and there was not a glow like before. Now looking at her, she somehow looks ordinary in my eyes. "Alpha what are we going to do now?" Farid asked. Dad red at him "what''s there to do anything? Did you two leave any other option for us to advance ourselves?" Farid lowered his head and didn''t speak after that. Salina narrowed her eyes and said suddenly. "Alpha, Sh does not belong to our pack anyway then why should we pursue her like this? Besides, Reese is the strongest one in our pack and Alpha Avan has already promised her lifetime, why don''t we just bless them?" This woman! I shook my head. I thought she was intelligent but I was wrong. Wrong, thinking of this idiot as a smart one and even choosing her¡­.. "Farid, you really did a great job with your mate. It''s really appreciative" dad said looking at him but what we can hear is the mocking tone behind the sentence. Farid turned and red at Salina while Reese grabbed her arm "mom, stop staying that" "You all leave except Avan. I want to talk to him privately" dad said using his dismissing tone. Then everyone left the room leaving us alone. "Dad .." "Avan do you know where your mistake is?" He asked before I could say anything. "Yes dad" I said nodding. "It''s not only your fault but also ours. We failed to see the truth behind the curtain and caused this damage to our own pack. And the fact Sh-" "Dad, her name is not Sh, she is Savannah," I reminded him. "Yes whatever is that, she already rejected you with extreme anger but it''s good that you both are destined mate and you two mean to be together forever" "But dad she doesn''t want to meet me. How can wee closer? Besides now that her identity is changed, it will be more difficult" Dad frowned "since when did you be this coward? I didn''t raise you to be like that. Our first n of persuasion failed but there is still a chance. Since the n with her parents won''t work then we need to work on Shy- I mean Savannah" My heart jolted with excitement "how?" "After a month, there will be a hunting event. It happens every 5 years and now this will be your chance to win her heart again. All the young generation will be there, even those who have mates. And definitely she will be there too. So take this chance and don''t disappoint me and your pack" I nodded my head excitedly "yes, dad don''t worry. This time I will truly take care of her" A smile lingered in my face. Soon Savannah, you will be mine again. Savannah''s POV "You don''t have to think about them. After what happened they won''t dare to bother us anymore" Tanea said, cing the newly made coffee on the table. "I never expected they will be this extent of shameless being" I shook my head "back then when I used to live in there they never cared actually but I always encouraged myself that was nothing and they loves me from heart. It was already toote when I started to realise the truth" Tanea patted the back of my hand "don''t think about those losers, if they don''t exist then how will smart people like us live?" Sheughed out loud. I could not help but chuckle. She is really something, always knows how to crack a joke at the right time and maybe that''s why my brother loves her so much. Not only she is his mate yet she is such a sweetheart that everyone loves. We couldn''t continue chatting as my brother''s voice suddenly called her name. Tanea looked at his direction and smiled "looks like that Eagle will not rest without me" I rolled my eyes "go before hees here. I really don''t want to hear his lectures and ruin my peace" Taneaughed loudly before nodding "see youter" then she ran off. I watched them hugging each other and being so lovey-dovey. My chest tightened with the sight and I shifted my gaze towards the open field where the pack members are training. I am currently sitting under the shade resting myself in the training field. "Sister Annah" a sweet childish voice called my name. I turned to look at Ginia who was blinking at me. "What happened to you?" I asked catching her arm lightly. "Sister Annah, you are sitting alone here so I thought I should apany you. And it won''t bore you anymore" she replied. I raised my eyebrows thenughed at her act. She is so cute. I could not help but pinch her chubby cheeks. She yelped in surprise. "Sister Annah don''t do that" she pouted. "Why?" I chucked. She leaned forward "because mommy said I am a big girl now" Iughed again. What a kid she is! I was about to say when there was a sudden roar. My head snapped towards the field. Some of the pack members were looking towards the forest. I turned to Ginia who was also looking at the field. I patted her shoulder, attracting her attention towards me. "Your training is done for today. Go home" I ordered. She looked at me then toward the field before nodding. She ran off towards the pack house. I shifted my gaze from her back towards the field and ran there "what happened?" I asked. "Miss, there was a sudden roaring from the forest. Looks like some wild beasts are hanging around" one of them informed. "If they are near the pack then they might attack us and it won''t be safe" another one said. "We need to distract them but not hurt them in any way except if it was an emergency, understand?" I ordered. "But young alpha has just left," a man with curly ck hair said. I shook my head "for such a trivial matter, there''s no need for him to disturb. Gather some men, we will go into the forest" "Miss, you can''t take the lead," they shook their heads. I frowned, "Why not? You think I am not capable enough to lead a team?" "Of course not. Please don''t misunderstand us. It''s just Alpha and young Alpha will be displeased if you personally do this. Let us go and check this matter" they replied in unison. I rolled my eyes. Seriously? I am not weak and I can fight with two wolves at the same time. But they are still refusing? I threw an annoying look. "Who''s the leader here? You are defying my words? Besides, it''s not a major thing to fear. Just some wild beast. Now, stop wasting my time and finish our work" I shook my head and walked towards the forest. Their faces are like, they are about to cry but still follow behind my lead.

I walk towards the North, there are some flower nts besides those huge trees. Though I have memorised the map of this forest but still dad said there are some parts which are forbidden to enter. I don''t know why but dad said it was outside of our territory. Maybe that part belongs to some other pack. But the most important thing is that, I forgot to ask which part of the forest is forbidden. I shake my head. How could I be this idiot? Seriously? I forgot it. I looked forward and the nts and trees started to be shallow. I frowned, I just walked for a few minutes. Howe these ces are shallow? I looked around the area. I can see the sun rays falling on ground lighting the whole area and its shimmering. It looks enchanting and then¡­ my eyes fell on something and my eyes widened immediately. It''s¡­.it''s¡­.. Blue Tiger? Heavens, I have seen the picture in the library but never expected to see it personally. It''s so beautiful. It was resting under the shade of small flower nts but suddenly it''s eyes opened and looked at me directly. So captivating¡­. My heart stopped for a moment. I wanted to take a closer look, and as I was about to step I felt a cold hand cover my mouth and another hand sneaked around my waist and without any efforts lifted my body up from the ground. I smelled a weird scent and my vision became blurry. The
