Chapter 99
(Author’s POV)
“We are in the middle of that discussion with the Half Shade Lunar Pack and things have been progressing better than before. My Luna, don’t worry about the pack matters, I will handle them well in your instead. You, my eternal love, just have to focus on your as well as our children’s health. Sweetheart, your due date is just around the corner,” Noah relayed this to Sara, caressing her belly affectionately and giving her a tender look.
Knowing that things were going smoothly with the Half Shade Lunar Pack, Sara sighed in relief.
Half Shade Lunar Pack and Moon Shine Pack were the two biggest packs on the entire continent of Ethenberg. While Moon Shine Pack was not a wealthy clan initially, they were graced with Lycan blood all thanks to Noah’s mother, Moana Gilbert.
On the other hand, Half Shade Lunar pack was led by a charming yet cunning werewolf, Alpha Caiten Snow.
Caiten, like many of his Alpha peers, he was handsome, dashing, attractive and dangerous. He had all these qualities and he was rich too, you could say he was every she-wolves dream Alpha. He was a highly sought after werewolf and was always praised for his genius business mind and cutthroat approach.
Caiten Snow and Sara Allen were childhood friends and often used to play together. They were always with each other. They attended to the same primary school, middle school, high school, even the same college, they were almost inseparable.
Caiten used to have romantic feelings for Sara, unsurprisingly so. But Sara, she only saw Caiten as her childhood friend and nothing more, she never gave him any wrong ideas either.
Still the Young Alpha of the Half Shade Lunar Pack was possessively obsessed with his childhood love. He wouldn’t let any wolf near Sara and if anybody would try to even look her way with a loving or suggestive glance, he would beat them to a pulp. All this was not in Sara’s knowledge; she knew nothing about this side of Caiten.
To her, Caiten was an innocent and kind wolf, who would always help the needy. After all, Caiten was so crafty and had created such a persona in front of Sara’s eyes, blinding her completely.
They were admitted to a prestigious college and both Sara and Caiten have taken business management as their major.
But Caiten was an Alpha’s son and the heir to his father’s throne. So, despite being in same major, Caiten had to attend pack meetings with his father regularly which eventually meant that he was often not attending classes or important college events. As his family was influential and prominent, he got that leeway without any fuss for attendance or anything of that sort.
But Caiten didn’t wanted to leave Sara’s side. He even tried to convince her to join him during his pack meetings, naming it as gaining experience.
But Sara had firmly refused, stating, “Look Caiten, I know you are suggesting this for my own good, but I can’t join you in your pack’s business, that is highly improper. I am not even from your pack and besides that, only the Alpha, his heir and the chosen Luna can attend such important events. Cai, you don’t have to worry about me and just focus on your work, if anything props up, I will definitely tell you, okay p>
Caiten wanted to say that she had every right to be there because in his heart, mind and soul, he has already chosen her as his forever Luna, but the words didn’t come out.
He didn’t want to confess his feelings in such a lame and dull manner. For him, everything has to be grandiose and on point. And confessing and proposing to Sara, he wanted the world to see it. So, Caiten simply complied but he made sure that his bodyguards, or you could say, his spies were always keeping a close eye on Sara’s activities.
Whatever she did during the day, the meal she ate, the people she talked to, every single thing was reported to him, systematically.
Sara Allen was indeed a gorgeous and radiant girl, paired with her youthful smile and gleaming eyes, she was a sight to behold. And when, Caiten was not around, many boys tried to approach her, some courageous ones even pursued her but it didn’t last long.
She was always friendly with everyone and was approachable, so people flocked her like flowers are hovered by bees. But very soon, mostly males, stopped approaching her and few ones even stopped coming to the college, disappearing altogether.
This kind of thing happened thrice, making Sara grow suspicious. She tried asking but nobody told her anything, simply brushing it off as them being uncomfortable after getting rejected. Sara’s suspicion didn’t vanish at their words but she didn’t investigate it publicly.
From time to time, Caiten used to visit college and people started assuming that they were a couple. Caiten even made his spies spread rumors about them being childhood sweethearts. But no one said anything to Sara about it.
Things were going smoothly for Caiten and by now, no male dared to pursue or even look Sara’s way with affection. They were too afraid of Caiten and his ways, the first guy who talked to Sara, Caiten’s men kidnapped him, took him to an abandoned sight and tore his hand apart, raw and ruthless. He was a human and couldn’t take the torture and eventually, he died of hypothermia as well as severe trauma.
Soon, one year has passed and now they were both in their sophomore year. Sara, after not being able to find anything odd for a long time, dropped the case.
Caiten was soon going to ascend his father’s throne and was busy preparing for the ritual and banquet. On his big day, he was planning to confess his feelings to Sara. So, he was often absent from the country, handling matters to clear off all things.
At the first day of new college year, all the new comers were huddled around the campus building, waiting for their seniors to instruct them about the rules.
Sara was one of the members of the council and was patiently telling them about the guidelines and rules. She prompted them to ask their queries and after a round of that, she got off of the platform.
In a far corner, she could see a figure with grey hoody and black thick framed glasses on. He looked uncomfortable and awkward, so Sara approached him with her signature friendly smile, “Are you also a first year business major p>
Sara was standing behind the guy and when he heard the euphonious voice, he was instantly spell bounded. He turned around but kept his head lowered out of shyness as well as he wasn’t very confident in his own appearance.
Sara could only see his thick frames and raven bangs which covered most of his face. Not minding it, she asked again, “Do you need any help? I am a member of the student council p>
The guy looked up hesitatingly and was struck by lightning. Like most, he too was mesmerized by Sara’s ethereal beauty. Even her kind and softly spoken words did something to the guy’s heart.
Nobody was talking to him because of his shabby clothes and lethargic appearance but Sara didn’t seem unwilling to approach him.
With stammering words, he asked, “I~, I am a first year~, medicine student and I am lost p>
Sara kindly said, “Don’t worry, Let me wrap up my duties here. Then, I will accompany you to your campus building. You just wait here, okay,” saying this, Sara ran off to tell her seniors.
The boy kept his gaze locked at the enchanting figure of Sara. When she came running towards him, a gush of wind blew past her, carrying with it, her rose scent. As the fragrance lingered around his nostrils, he instantly knew that she was a she-wolf, a high ranking one and surprise flickered in his eyes, but he hurriedly concealed it.
Sara reached him and said, “Let’s go. They must be doing orientation there. If you are late, they will cut your disciplinary points as penalty p>
The guy was busy in his own inner monologue.
Sara thought he was hesitant, so she extended her hand, holding one of his wrists and started running off to the other campus, “Don’t worry and trust me. You will not be late, I promise p>
The guy, without uttering anything followed her, his eyes looking at his wrist and then shifting to look at Sara’s back.
The Medical Department was nearly two miles away and the campus was hustling and bustling with new students, so Sara tightened her grip on the boy’s wrist.
Still, it was too packed, so the boy flicked his wrist and firmly held Sara’s hand in his and started sprinting. They both ran for a quite a while and soon they were at the entrance of medical campus building.
As soon as they reached their destination, the boy shyly back off and feigning labored breathing, his hands now on his knees.
Sara’s job was done here, so she casually said, “Here it is, now that you are already here, I will be off, bye.” Saying this, she started walking off.
The boy, seeing Sara leave, let go off his hesitation and called out, “Senior, thank you for accompanying me. May I know your name p>
Sara looked his way and introduced her with a beaming smile, extending her hands, “I am Sara Allen, sophomore year, business major p>
He paused for a second but then shook her hand, introducing back, his voice deep and manly, “My name is Noah Everests and I am a first year student of medical department p>
