For the first time in his life, he could feel his human side, he felt normal, he felt free. He is hungry, he is tired, he needs food, he needs help.

Lervian had no idea of where he’s heading to but he’s walking and he kept on walking. Five years ago, he had a life but now, he doesn’t. There’s a joint house around where he is and he’s been there quite a number of times.

 Do i remember Gab's joint house

“This is relaxation baby” Mateo says as he jumped into the pool

“good for you” she sits by the pool and placed her drink beside her

“for the first time, I’m super relaxed” she says

“That’s because you’ve been living your mother’s life, you about to live yours”

She finished her drink

“I’ll go get another drink”

“Don’t leave me here”

“I will”

“Get laid instead”

“I’ll put that in mind”

“You serious”

“No”

He groaned

“Spoil sport” he says

“A bottle of tequila”

“You ok nigga, tequila’s bottle”

“One please”

“You fine”

Vian breathes in and out before raising his head and opening the scarf

“Oh my…”

“A bottle, please”

“Yeah, sure”

“Wait”

“And…”

“Tell a soul and you done for”

“I won’t”

“Is there a room I can crash in”

“So many”

“I want just one, I need to rest”

“sure, I’ll get gab”

“Please do, Vicent”

He placed his head back on the counter

She placed the empty glass on the tray and took another one

“no, no” the waiter said

“Why”

“Take this one, you’ll love it”

“Why, is there anything special about it”

“We made this drink and we want people to tell us how good it is”

“Oh ok”

She takes the glass without returning the initial one she took and tasted it

“Hmmm, strawberry”

“You’re the first person that will identify the fruit”

“Really”

He nods

“I love it”

She returned her drink

“I’ll sip on this Instead”

“Great”

The waiter left and she walked away with her glass of strawberry wine

“this is good”

Gab took him to a room

“You abandoned me, Gabriel”

“Vian, we were all scared”

“You were my best friend”

“I’m sorry”

Vian goes to lie down on the bed

Azra was thrown back by an invisible force field

“What is that” she asked herself but she couldn’t go further, couldn’t move further to search for him

“I’ll get you food and water, you look starved and tired”

“I’ve eaten my own people’s flesh and I don’t feel guilty. My mother is dead and I don’t feel the guilt”

“stay still Vian, I will get you something to eat” gab left

“There’s something powerful that has held me back” Azra says

“Why, you the most powerful witch and the only survivor of your clan”

“Yes Sven but there’s something out there that is trying to overpower me”

“Destroy it”

“Magic doesn’t work that way all the time. Sometimes, you stop, watch and learn”

“He is out there”

“He is out of control, he’ll kill” Azra says

But they were wrong, he was in full control for once in five years. He acted normal and even read a novel. Gabriel was scared of him at first but later relaxed, after all, Vian has been his friend since their teenage hood.

The room door opened and the scent of strawberry filled his nose as the figure entered. Vicenzo went crazy cause their mate was there. He was super jumpy and excited.

Lervian stood up and walked up to her

“Other half, you’re here”

She touched his face

“nothing can separate us”

He kissed her

Slowly at first then hungrily, taking in the lips like it’s his obsession that had been taken from him for years. He trailed kisses all the way from her neck down to her shoulder, savouring and tasting each, level by level.

Hindrances, he tore off her blouse and unhooked the bra, setting free the sisters in bondage.

 Have mercy on their soul, moon goddess

He went back to kissing her as he fondled her left breast. She moaned as he took a nipple in his mouth

“vian” she moaned

 Gosh, he was driving her crazy

He bent and removed the slacks she was wearing

“I want to make love to you Rani, please give me that permission to own you” he whispered into her ear

“You have it”

“Thank you”

He kissed her and tore away the last thing on her body.

“Oh my…”

“Don’t complain”

“I’m not”

He bent and gave the “p” a lick, she moaned.

He stands up and carried her to the bed

“your scent is driving me crazy, mate”

“Its my pleasure”

“Strawberry is my favorite fruit”

“I guess I will be using that more often” she says as she watched him strip then he joined her on the bed.

He grabbed her legs and separated them, making her wide opened to him

“you’re beautiful”

“Just get on to it, your stare is torturing me”

“It’s part of my plan”

He had this cocky smile that made her heart warm

 What a dream

She stirred and chuckled to herself opening her eyes. The lights blinded her and she closed her eyes

“Why did you come here last night”

 Come here, Mateo

She sits up and then realized something, she was opened. Her eyes shut open and she looked at herself, then up just in time to see the individual looking at her. The face sank in and emotions ran out of her face

 Lervian

“Ler – Lervian”

“Are you shocked?”

“what are you doing here?”

“I should be asking you that, Elrani”

“You know my name”

She looked at herself

“What happened?”

“You seduced me”

“what!, no. Why would I do that”

“I was under a spell, your spell”

“I don’t know how I got here either”

“I know that he sent you to harm me Elrani, I know your mission but let me tell me, if you don’t back away, I’ll snap your head off and throw you to the dogs. Stay away from me”

He grabbed the scarf and walked to the door

“Listen up Lervian, I am not going to back off cause I’ve been marked the Luna of Crescent. Whether you grow horns or not, I’m less concerned, you’ll be seeing more of me”

He remembered seeing the L mark on her thighs before walking away. She groaned and fell back

 Of all ways to share your first sex with your mate, spell. They were under a spell.

She slapped herself and placed her face in her hands

“This is bad”

“Rani”

She looked up to see Mateo

“What happened here”

“I slept with Lervian” she said standing up

“are you hurt”

“A little” she says

“Wait, was it good?”

“MATEO”

She shouted as she headed to the washroom. He chuckled

“Great start Mami”

Alpha mother, sat on her rocking chair as her smile widened

She stood up and walked up to the window. The sky was not the same, it is happening and she can feel it. She was satisfied, she was glad.

He was free, he was himself, he could control his own head without being tortured. She stretched her hand out and a rain drop fell on her hand and formed a Q. She smiled and goes to her bed

 Welcome home Luna

Crescent will need a new alpha mother soon and Vian’s mother who is supposed to take that role is dead. The only person fit is the Luna’s mother if she’s a royal blood but if she’s not, they will have to choose from the next blood line but she doesn’t want that. The role of the alpha mother will not fall into the hands of a person that doesn’t worth it, she won’t allow it.

Alpha mother is a great role, she comes before the Alpha king. A fool cannot take that role, her family’s role. If not for her, Vian would have been dead. She couldn’t sit and watch her grandson die after loosing his father and uncle to a useless battle, a worthless one.

The guards were shocked when they saw Vian at the gate. They quickly let him in and he went straight to the castle.

“vian” Adarna says as she met him at the entrance

“How did you leave the cage, where were you?”

No response

He walked in and went to Alpha mother’s room

“I knew you would come”

“I’m confused grandma”

He goes to sit

“I was fine Alpha mother. I didn’t deform or kill a soul. I read a book Grandma and I slept peacefully. Can you believe that?”

“I told you, you were normal”

“Oh Alpha mother, you know that’s not true”

“Because you believe it”

“I saw her again”

“Who”

“my other half, her name is Elrani”

“like your mother’s”

“I unintentionally slept with her Grandma and I can’t deny that I didn’t like it, I want it to happen again”

“Look for her and make her your queen”

“Grandma, it’s dangerous. She’s my real mate, my – real – mate”

“I know, then you will protect her”

“I have enemies. Azra is out there and I don’t know where”

“you cannot run for long”

“I want them dead”

“Blood doesn’t solve it all”

“it does for me”

He was silent for a while

“she seduced me”

“are you sure”

“Yes”

The old lady chuckled

“She’s your mate, I can’t see anything wrong in that”

“Alpha mother!”

She nods

“grandma, aren’t you getting my point”

“Nope”

He sighs

“I’ll go to bed”

He left for his room

“Someone looks worried” Sven says and Adarna turned

“Do you care”

“No”

“Go away”

“Well, I would be worried if I were in your shoes too. I know how it feels to be rejected and you know nothing”

“Sure”

“Get out”

“it would have been better if it was only a little wedding embarrassment not your Alpha breaking free and going to sleep with his real mate”

“What are you saying?”

“Didn’t you observe the clouds last night?. Oh, you’re not a Crescent, you can’t understand. My bad”

“You’re being malicious”

“I can see jealousy lacing your soul, ma’am”

“You’re sick”

“Let me help you”

He moved closer

“The lady you ordered to be whipped”

“Elrani”

“Is Crescent's Luna. She’s his mate and you had her beaten”

“You’re lying”

“Go ask him yourself”

She walked away and Sven smiled

“she’s coming”

Azra whispered in his ear

“Are you sure you want to do this” Mateo asked

“Yes, it is my destiny”

“To be alive not dead. To be a Luna and not to look after a mad wolf”

“The mad wolf is the Alpha of this Luna. So keep it in” she says and he sighs

“I don’t know what I’ll do if Arla dies”

“You’ll survive Mateo, for her”

“We were planning to tell everyone that we have finally planned to settle down and prepare for our baby”

“Baby, yeah sure”

Then it rang a bell

“BABY” she exclaimed

“Is she pregnant”

“we found out the night we went to the castle”

She stopped dead on the track

“When did you two become that tangled and I didn’t know”

“well, we also didn’t expect it”

“Were you under a spell also”

“No”

“So don’t crap me, Mateo”

He chuckled and they walked on

“where were you” Adarna asked

“where did you go”

“Out”

“How did you leave that cage?, Who released you?”

He gave her a sharp look and she moved back

“Why do you want to know?, Why do you care?.”

“I am your wife, Vian, I am your mate”

He goes to sit

“I went to Gab’s joint and had sex with my other half”

He looked at her

“satisfied”

“you cheated on me, I am Crescent's Luna”

“she has the L mark and you don’t”

“Are you rejecting me”

“Adarna, you’re my child hood friend, be reasonable”

He rose up and walked up to the mirror

“You’re heartless, you’re a monster”

No response

“Sven was right about you, you have no heart, you’re no human”

He looked at her

“But you know what, I have been training for this all my life cause I’m the one true queen of Crescent and my mother is the next alpha mother. I will not sit and allow a low life to take my place”

She stormed out
