Chapter 179: Chapter 179
Oswald’s eyes fell on Filippa, and a dazzling smile appeared on his face.
The first time he came across her, she smiled so sweetly and introduced herself to him with that sweet voice of hers; that seemed to be the turning point in his life.
Even when she has no strength to play with him, he’ll tug at her hair and do anything to get her attention. That’ll result in Filippa sulking and chiding him more and more while glaring at him, yet he prefers seeing her make a reaction than simply being indifferent to him.
And when Oswald set his eyes on her years later after she was brought into the pack by Wyatt. Seeing her pitiful gaze, Oswald knew she was sad to see Lorelei at his side.
At first, Oswald tries to push Filippa away while feigning his dislike to make Lorelei's annoyance decrease so she does not want to harm Filippa.
Back then, Oswald had wanted to send her out of the pack until the coast was clear and then bring her back after he settled things.
However, he never expected that Filippa would be stubborn until the end and she’ll vehemently try to stay in the pack.
The more Oswald saw her, the more his wolf stirred and the more he was enticed by her. He couldn’t keep his hands to himself when his mate was nearby.
However, Oswald was a lot more relieved because she was his mate and would forever be his until he discovered that Wyatt seemed to have a different touch for her. He should have known something was amiss in the beginning.
Wyatt always maintains a balance between his work and himself, how can Wyatt suddenly have an interest in a girl if she wasn’t his? It wasn’t until they had a mate bond that he realized that he let down his guard too much
During the time they were having their mate bond, it felt as if his heart was being crushed into pieces.
And when they appeared in his presence fully mated, he felt that he was going to die
Nevertheless, he made a proclamation not to ever let her go!
Due to envy, Oswald even made work unbearable for Wyatt. Thinking about it, his actions were very silly, but hasn’t that been the reason he was able to get her? He didn’t regret it!
Rex’s eyes fell on Filippa, and his coldness diffused. His little princess.
‘Stop, Rex!’ That word has become the biggest turning point of his life. A vampire kid was raised in the power axis pack all his life. Normally, that means he could only be sentenced to death because that means he was the biggest pawn that could destroy the power axis pack.
Yet Filippa stood against the elders' suggestion and vehemently objected to killing Rex. He promised to pay back her actions by submitting his loyalty but as he spent time with her, he discovered more of her uniqueness. How could he not fall in love with such a pure yet dangerous beauty at the same time?
However, he didn't expect that Henry would come up with a wicked plan that led to Rex being sent away from Filippa’s side. Nevertheless, her sweet figure has always haunted his mind and that had prompted him to work hard until a pawn like him became the vampire Lord
When he lost her to Wyatt for the second time, he gave up on life not finding anything meaningful. Even though he wanted to dislike her, he couldn’t bear the thought of hurting her. Maybe, her happiness wasn’t him.
Asher’s gaze fell on Filippa. Her eyes had always been radiating with a unique glint ever since he recalled but when she woke up after being saved by them, her radiating light seemed to have disappeared and she became far from the cheerful girl he knew.
From then on, he inwardly promised to help her regain her light. However, the more he gets closer to her, the more he is inexplicably drawn to her. Even though he tried to separate from her, he couldn’t!
When he saw her happy with Wyatt, he thought he would never have a chance but when he saw Oswald join them, he couldn’t help but think that even if she wasn’t his mate, he was ready to reject his mate for her.
Until on the battlefield, when he longed for her and realized that the mate he had been looking for had always been within his reach.
The witch elder took a step forward while holding an antique ceremonial blade that was specially made during the Alpha’s wedding ceremony; the blade's sharp edges gleamed under the moonlight. “By blood and moon, this bond shall be sealed,” he pronounced.
Oswald took a step forward and extended his hands, offering his hands to the gleaming blade. The witch elder stretched the blade toward Oswald’s hand. Immediately, Oswald’s blood spilled onto the goblet that rested on the altar.
Followed by Wyatt, Rex, and Asher, Filippa’s blood was the last to be spilled into the goblet. Their blood merged together in the goblet.
The witch elder took a step forward and raised the large goblet toward the moon. “This mating was done under the moon goddess' blessing. As your blood unites, so do your hearts, souls, and destinies. To love each other like oneself and protect each other until the very end.” Immediately, the witch elder handed the goblet to Filippa.
Filippa took a step forward and collected the goblet. She took a deep breath, raised the goblet toward her lips first, and drank deeply. The taste of their combined essence immediately filled her mouth, and she swallowed it.
Immediately, she passed it to Rex, who stood next to her, then Wyatt, Oswald, and Asher sealing the mate's bonds between them.
Immediately, Filippa felt as if a heavy weight shattered, and her body became extremely light. All the shackles caused by Lorelei had finally disappeared, and now she could openly feel the joy of having a mate bond.
Their hearts beat together, and their souls resonate. Even at a far distance, she’ll be able to know their thoughts and know their feelings. A smile immediately appeared on their face.
Once the ritual was completed, a bright silver glow began to emanate from Filippa. The glow spread to Oswald, Wyatt, Asher, and Rex and then cast a warm light over the gathered crowd.
Immediately, the clans cheered and exclaimed. At that moment, all those who were sick healed on the spot; those who were disabled also felt the same thing, etc.
The pack couldn’t help exclaiming, This is a great sign that the world is about to change for good! The bond was truly blessed by the moon goddess.
The runes on the dais glowed and pulsed with divine energy, signifying the moon goddess’s blessing.
Oswald stepped forward and wrapped his hands around her waist, engulfing her in a hug. He kissed her forehead, his mismatched eyes falling on her. “Mate.” Even though he only said a word, his voice was filled with love, fondness, and happiness that his lips couldn’t utter. Filippa, his Luna, his mate.
Wyatt’s black eyes fell on her face, and he leaned forward to place a kiss at the corner of her lips. “Filippa.” His Maia. His strength and happiness.
Rex picked her hand and kissed it gently, his red eyes filled with inexplicable pride and joy. “Little princess.” His feisty princess. His love. His savior and his eternity
Asher took her hand, and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his warm brown eyes meeting hers. He captured her lips. “Feisty.” Bunny. Sharp-witted.
Immediately, they all engulfed each other in a hug.
The werewolf packs erupted into howls, and the vampire and witch clan supported by clapping and yelling their approval.
Filippa stood in between Wyatt, Oswald, Rex, and Asher, and they all turned to face the people. Their firm voices resonated in the pack. “Together, we are stronger and leave no space for enemy conflict. Together, we have greater insight and build a future where unity and love are the greatest strength forever.”
Immediately, they all exchanged glances and held each other's hands—their symbols of loving each other until the end.

Two years later
“Filippa,” Four aggrieved mates immediately stepped into the room as soon as Filippa was done bathing; their eyes shone upon seeing her enticing figure. Ever since the quadruplets were born, their bed activities had lessened a lot.
Filippa had a towel cladded around her chest, and she stared at them in bewilderment. “What’s wrong?” She softly inquired.
“Filippa, you have been ignoring our needs.” The mature leaders were very, extremely aggrieved.
The quadruplets were very troublesome, and somehow whenever it was nighttime, they always cried, which always left Filippa ignoring them and running to care for the quadruplets.
Immediately, guilt overwhelmed Filippa’s system, and she lowered her head. “Then tonight….”
“Wahhhh. Mom!” The loud scream that resounded in the mansion immediately made Filippa’s eyes widen. “I’m sorry. Let’s. Tomorrow.” Immediately, she tried to flee out of the room.
Their expressions changed immediately, and they captured her, stopping her from reaching the door. Those troublesome quadruplets; they are purposely blocking them!
“We’re sorry, baby. But no more. I already called our parents to handle Zeirk and the quadruplet.” Immediately, they picked Filippa up and threw her onto the bed.
THE END
