Gifted With Two Wolves Fated To Two Rival Kingdoms

Luna Odessa

"Push luna! Yes, the baby is coming"

Reika, my trusted omega and midwife's voice barely reached me through the haze of pain as I travailed to bring my babies into the world that forbids them.

Yes, twins were forbidden in the Blackthorn pack, and as Luna and their mother, I had to secretly birth them.

The second child was small and quiet.

My heart pounded as the prophecy I had received months ago echoed in my mind:
