This can't happen.

Grace’s POV

I would have been praising my sister’s powers if I wouldn’t have been mad at them. While Gina had the power of teleportation, Gia had the power to make anyone blind for a while if he/she looked into her eyes. I had thought that there was no way I could escape so easily from there but thanks to them, I reached Peter's house in the next few seconds after Wyatt entered the room. That’s because Gia used her power to make him blind for a while and we escaped.

“Are we ready?”, Tia asked.

“Not yet, but we can’t let it happen.”, This was Peter’s voice.

I took a step into the living room when I heard the whisper coming from them and other werewolves. From the look on their faces, anyone could tell that something serious discussion was happening.

I took a seat beside Tia who quickly gave me a warm welcoming smile.

“Are you alright, Luna? You look terrible.”, She said.

“I am fine.”, I muttered, not mentioning the fact which happened.

“So, did your sisters agree to help us?”

I nodded my head, knowing the reason behind my sister's help. If they were thinking that I would forgive them easily then they were wrong about that.

“So, what were you talking about before I came?”, I asked and saw their expression turned solemn in a second after I shot the words.

‘Okay. Whatever it is, is not good news.’, I thought but nothing good was happening, right?

I gave them a sad smile.

‘I know they’re worried about me.’

“Please...I am okay.”, I pushed and Peter sighed loudly which meant he was the one who was going to speak so I turned my gaze to him. He took a look at Tia who nodded slowly before turning his gaze back on me. I gave him a small smile to show that I was ready.

“Tonight is the Luna ceremony or the claimed day of Alpha Zayden and his mate, Sarah.”, He threw the bomb but I already knew about it from Wyatt.

Tonight.

I only have a few hours to prevent it from happening.

“What do you guys have in mind to stop it?”, I asked them bluntly and saw some of them smiled knowing that I didn’t break down and cried like a weak woman.

I won’t say that I am done crying…

But yes, I am done crying on this matter.

Now, it's time for action. It’s now or never.

I believe in Zay and our fate to be together.

He belongs to me and I am his.

“Eric informed me that he got the support from Alpha Craig. He along with his powerful werewolves will be going to war against Alpha Zayden. They will directly reach the ceremony with Eric himself.”

“Great! I have sent my elder sister to get some help from the Queen Crystal and I am sure that her answer will be positive. And, one of my younger sisters, Gina, has the power of teleportation. So, instead of fighting with the guards, we will directly enter the ceremony. And my other younger sister, Gia has the power to blind anyone for a few minutes by looking into the opponent's eyes. “, I added confidently.

Everyone looked surprised after I said it.

I knew they just thought I was an innocent and weak woman, but they didn’t know what a mate or a wife could do when things came to her husband.

“That’s great, Luna but James...James has the power to make anyone suffer by just looking at him/her.”

“If that’s the case then I will handle him because the vampire's power doesn’t work on me.”

“Really?”, Peter asked and I gave him a firm nod. “Okay then...this is the plan”, He started to explain to the other werewolf and I kept my eyes and ears locked on him when he started telling my plan to everyone. He also started explaining what would be the role of each and every werewolf.

‘Our mate will be so proud of you.’, She heard her wolf’s voice and smiled a little.

‘I know he is still inside. I have faith in him.

Wait, Zayden…

Now it’s my time to save you.’

***

At night, I walked down in my same old dress in which Zayden had seen me for the first time out the restaurant, hoping for any response from the man when he saw me.

Gina brought some of my clothes from our home and this dress was among them. She went there to check whether Wyatt left our house or not and thankfully he had.

Gina saw me approaching everyone. Though I knew her eyes were on me but I ignored her like I see her standing near Tia.

“Ready?”, Peter asked and I nodded my head.

“Wait!”, Gina said when we all started walking. She pulled out something from her bag and it looked exactly like some kind of portion. “Everyone knows that vampire’s bite is injurious for werewolves. So, this...this will help as an antidote for that. I will suggest everyone to drink it before we leave.”

“Thank you so much, Gina. No doubt you are our Luna’s sister.”, Peter said.

“Please don’t thank me. It was her idea to arrange the antidote if it was possible.”, She said to which I kept my face expressionless.

I never said anything like that to her but still, deep down I was thankful that she thought for everyone. I wanted to thank her personally but my ego was coming in between.

“Thank you, Luna.”, I gave him a small smile. One by one, Peter handover the portion’s bottle to everyone. Almost everyone drank the potion before they threw it on the ground together.

With a firm gaze toward each other, we’re all ready.

“Let the battle begin.”, Peter stated and we all nodded our heads.

“After winning the battle, you all are invited to my house to clean it.”, Tia commented out of nowhere. And by observing everyone’s expression, I could tell that they were in trouble. Gina opened the portal for us. With a pounding heartbeat, I tried to calm myself.

‘This is it…

We have planned to kidnap Zayden from the crowd to stop this claiming ceremony.

And then, we will show him my face so he can recognize me.

If it fails, a kiss usually works for waking people from spells.

At last but not least, when no one wants to happen is to reject Zayden as my mate.

I know I have to pay the cost of bringing Zayden back, with my own life.’

I closed my eyes and felt my wolf with me.

Sarah’s POV

“I know she will be here, please watch her.”, I told the witch who called my mother who just rolled her eyes but nodded nonchalantly.

‘Despite her cold attitude toward me from the morning, I know she cares for me. And that’s why she was helping me with everything.

Now, with the man I want already in my arms, I want to make sure nothing could stop us from being together.

I always know I am special.

Yes, I was sure I would be Luna when I came to know that Zayden Staunton got the blessing of Alpha wolf.

And I didn’t care what I did to make it happen.

What cost I have to pay as long as I am Luna with him.’

“Here’s the picture of Grace.”, I shoved the photo that I found in Zayden’s room to my mother.

She just took a look and flew away from there.

Damn witch!!

I checked myself in the mirror and cleared my mood from unnecessary tension because this was the day for which I was waiting for long.

‘The claiming day of making me Luna with the man I love.

Oh...What I do for this day to be happening.’

Theo escorted me from my room and I couldn’t control my own happiness so I kept my wide smile plastered on my face and it got wider when I noticed someone waiting with his eyes locked on me when I arrived at the hall, Zayden, who looked handsome in a suit.

‘God, this is it.

Finally, my time has come.

Finally, I am his.

No more Grace…

I won!’

***

‘Everything is under control.

The border is guarded by Zayden’s trusted werewolves so they will never let anyone enter who is against Zayden.

Everything is perfect.

Zayden can’t keep his eyes off of me.

We keep dancing and laughing like the true couples we are.’

“Are you happy, this is our day, Zayden!”, I said and saw him nodding with a smile. I knew this was not his true mind speaking and acting. Now, after the witch had controlled his mind as well, he could see anything that happened.

‘In the time after we will become a mate, by all means, he will have to come around and love me.

He knows that mate bonds can’t be broken.

Only death can separate us.

And with the bond, killing their mate is not easy because he also will feel the pain.

I am so smart.

What don’t I do sooner?

But I am glad this is happening now.’

I watched how everyone was unhappy with the thing happening here. I could tell that they adored Grace as their Luna but they were so faithful to their Alpha that they couldn't raise their voice against the things happening now.

BOOMMM!!!!

Alpha Craig, Allison, and along with them a lot of werewolves started appearing one by one.

Their eyes staring wildly toward me before I was surrounded by a dozen of them.

“GUARDs….!!!”, I heard Zayden shouting and a second later his werewolves also came along with their men.

I thought we had all werewolves on our side!

But I was wrong.

I should have known that Allison wouldn’t sit quietly.

My eyes widened when I saw a portal out of nowhere and a lot of werewolves and vampires coming in.

BOMMMMM…..!!!!

Again a lot of werewolves made a heroic entry. They looked unfamiliar. I would have wondered who they were until their smell hit me.

‘So, Queen Crystal agreed to help Grace and went against Zayden, who is just like a son to her.’

DAMN IT!

I gripped Zayden’s hand and pulled him back away from the werewolves.

I knew they would aim at him or would take him to stop this ceremony.

So, I lifted my left arm before summoning my mother, the witch, and chanted the spell to bring her. While I was doing so, I saw a lot of werewolves fall on the ground and then looked at the person who did this, WYATT.

“You werewolves are too weak in front of the Vampire who is converted by an ancient.”, He said proudly, and by the time even my mother appeared.

“Then why don’t you show your power to someone of your power?”, Challenged a vampire girl.

WHAT THE HELL.

“Mother, Kill everyone who will try to come close to us.”, I ordered and pulled Zayden’s hand and brought him close to me. “And you have to mark me as soon as possible. Okay?”, I asked, to which Zayden nodded.

“Not this soon, Sarah!”, I tried not to scoff at the stupidity of werewolves until I heard the familiar voice. I turned to look at him.

Eric…

I should have known that he’s behind this stupid action.

If he’s here, so I guess that woman is here too.

“Mother...Kill him.”

“AS PER THE PEACE TREATY BETWEEN WEREWOLVES AND WITCHES, NO WITCHES ARE ALLOWED TO ATTACK ON THE WEREWOLVES FIRST!!!”

Gasped, I turned my head only to see the woman I hate the most standing there staring back at me.

“Grace….”

She took a step closer to where I was standing with Zayden and I felt something happened with Zayden.

His hand was shaking…

What the...

“Zayden?”
