تسجيل الدخول15 At the palace hall, the beta's son paced about the Princess's door. He didn't want to cause a feud like the last time and just wanted to see Calantha secretly, like they always did, even when his father had warned him to stay off her back. When the sun rose, he had prepared himself to come ask his lady how her first shifting went and if her wolf perhaps yearned for him. He also promised to fulfil the kiss that got interrupted the night before. His knuckles reached for the door and he softly hit the wooden frame, numerous times. It echoed through the walls of the palace. "Calantha" he leaned to the doorside where a tiny gap was and called her name softly. She never woke up late, being the firstborn of the Thunder family, she supervised quite a few things, so he expected a response. Practically, he expected the palace to be very busy as it was the morning of Calantha's birthday. "It's Stefon." He whispered again. "Good morning, Princess" A smile crept on his lips as he tou
14. While infidelity was very rampant amongst wolves, Ragnar had never been in a circumstance where he had to point his fingers at Philipa for adultery and he had always been thankful to the goddess for granting him such a good woman who exuded loyalty. Not anymore. All he had were profanities in his mouth for the deception that had just been unveiled. Who was the man Philipa desired so much that she even bore his child? What did the human have that he, King of the wolves didn't have? How come he couldn't uncover the truth earlier than this? So many questions with no one to answer, Ragnar was more furious than he was on the battle day eighteen years ago! This only meant a human had been lying with his wife under his roof! How could he not perceive it? What exactly went wrong? As he paced around his throne room trying to solve puzzles upon puzzles, he heard the cricket walk of shame - Philipa. "Alpha…" her voice breathed confidence and it irked Ragnar so much. How could she not
13. Philipa was lost for words after her husband left. Memories engulfed her, and clung to the surface of her eyes, each event replaying in the slowest form. She had imagined several scenarios on how this day would play out, but she didn't think it would unfold like this. She had hoped Calantha would have taken over Ragnar as the LUNA of Raven Pack before the truth surfaced or Calantha would have magically gotten some wolf strengths somehow before Ragnar could notice. But how selfish of her to think a father would not know his child. How could she hide such a secret for so long from her husband, her mate, the only person she spoke the truth to? Maybe she shouldn't have taken the child that day. Maybe she shouldn't have helped that woman. As the tears settling in her eyes were about to roll off, her daughter dragged her feet into the room with her under eyes swollen from too many tears. For someone who barely cried in the castle, it was not a pleasant sight to see.
12. Calantha ran out of her parents' room with trembling legs. "What's going on?" Her body hit her brother's torso in the hallway, then he gripped her by the arm. She let herself sink into his broad chest as her little tears began to drop. He was a year younger than her, but a lot bigger and it just made sense to her why it was so. Werewolves had an insane body build; although she was tall and slender, but still a mouse compared to her younger brother and sisters. She had lived her life as a wolf, and she had hated the humans with them too. How could … she be an enemy? "I… didn't shift" Her voice cracked as she explained. "I didn't shift into my wolf, Cumac" Cumac held her closely and rubbed her back to soothe her pain. "It isn't the end of the world" "Oh, it is." "I shall speak to father on your behalf" "No. No. No" Calantha held him back when he proceeded to go. "You don't want to upset him at this hour." She sniffed back her tears and her eyes went to her two little siste
11. Ragnar with his back turned on her, closed his eyes, hoping to hear some cracking of bones and growls, but nothing came. "Calantha" he called. "It's coming, father. Wait, please" she told him. He hoped. He believed. One glance at the full moon and he prayed to the goddess again. His daughter must… "It's taking too long, Calantha," Ragnar said, getting impatient. "I do not remember it taking so much time." "Father. I am a late bloomer, just a little longer, I feel it coming from my inside father." She responded, but truly all she felt was an uneven heartbeat and trembling hands. "Please work, please" she muttered under her breath. Calantha saw no change, none of what her siblings or boyfriend described to her as shifting. No frenzy feeling, just fear of her father turning to see that she had no wolf. She looked at the moon. "I'll give you all you want goddess, please make this happen" she whispered, her eyes dimmed with tears. "I'm turning back now," her father sai
10. EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER ___°°°___ CALANTHA THUNDER. Calantha hid in the storage room with the boy she liked - the Beta's son. They had promised to meet at twilight before her birthday. Now they were here, in the dark as she stared at his glowy eyes. "You'll be eighteen in an hour," his voice reverberated in the room, he had reached puberty stage earlier than her. He touched her shoulders. "This would mean everything to us, Calantha" She nodded and her lips spread into a smile. "When I shift to my wolf, we would announce our relationship to my father." "And get married months after," they both chuckled. "It feels surreal" she exhaled and held his hands, looking deeply into his eyes. For a long time, Ste had waited for moments like this with him. Her boyfriend moved a step closer to her and then his fingers slowly brushed her nipples. Calantha was startled, as she moved away from him. "What are you doing?" "You promised me." He said, seeming disappointed. "I onl
7. Alpha Ragnar watched in terror as his wolves battled with humans. The humans were gaining a victory and the bodies of his wolves lay on the ground. The humans' plan to take the wolves down must have been perfectly orchestrated for this to happen. "Raid their town!" He heard the human guards s
6. Luna Philipa cuddled her male child to herself. She had been groaning in pain after her twelve-year-old, Razor, ran off. She didn't know what to feel, pain for letting Razor go, or pain from her abdomen. She eventually went into labor and birthed her male pup, all on her own. She sat with her
5. The wolves had taken their stands outside the palace, shooting arrows all over the place. Belena took off with her child out of the storage room. When she burst into the palace building, everyone had begun to run helter-skelter after being alerted about the danger. Belena ran across the pala
4. All the wolves who were of age to fight gathered in front of Ragnar's palace after he had summoned them. "The humans have betrayed us. They have killed some of us. They want a war and we would give them that. Spare no one, we are barraging the palace first." "Yes, Alpha!" The wolves chorused
