Chapter: Chapter 90-Christmas MorningThe early morning sun peaks over the surrounding mountains, spreading its warmth over our territory, but I don’t feel it. My breath is ragged as I run hard through the forest. Low-lying branches smack my face as I go past them, but I feel nothing. My only focus is to get to the lake. The lake will calm me before this rage swallows me whole.I finally see it in the distance, the lake that Enyo and I used to soak in after practice. Back when everything was right in the world. Before Daddy was murdered. Before I knew anything about the chosen.I don’t slow as I get closer. Instead, I brace for impact as I dive towards the ice covering the body of water. Enyo’s large, heavy body breaks through, and the iced water takes my breath away as I slowly sink to the bottom. I let the freezing water cool my heated body; the rage releasing from my body and my mind slowly clearing.I can hear shouts from above the water, but I ignore them. As the rage fuelled fogginess leaves my mind, I’m hit with a

Chapter: Chapter 89-An Enemy at the Cabin“Alpha! Alpha, can you hear me?”I groggily open my eyes and see Leah hovering over me.“Alpha, thank the Goddess,” Leah says with a heavy sigh. “Don’t move, Doc Apollo is on his way.”I grab the back of my head, and I feel that my hair is wet. I look at my hand, and it’s covered in blood.“What happened?” I ask, lifting my head slightly and looking around.“You fell down the cliff side after the rogue charged you,” she explains.I look to my left and up the cliff side. “I’ve been saying for years there needs to be a railing put up there,” I say with a groan and try to sit up.“Please don’t move, Alpha. You fell a long way.”“I see that. But I’ll be okay,” I tell her, sitting up. Then I remember the reason I was in the forest. “Where’s Catherine?” I ask, panicked.“Gamma Michael and Gamma Cole have her in custody,” she explains.“And the other rogue?”She says nothing but looks behind me. I turn and see a young boy, his neck clearly broken from the fall. “Shit,” I grumble. “How did you

Chapter: Chapter 88-Christmas Eve Feast & Pack Run“Everything looks wonderful, Melanie,” I compliment her as I look over all the decorated tables outside of the pack hall.“Thank you, Alpha,” she says happily. “I hope you like everything inside, as well.”“I know I will,” I tell her with a big smile.She smiles back and bows before heading off to attend to her duties. Andreas comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, nestling his nose into the crook of my neck. “I can’t believe we pulled this off.”“The pack has worked hard. I’m so proud of everyone.”I see Rich and Noah in the distance, with the Cresent Warriors, and Michael and Beta Castor behind them. I take Andreas’s hand and walk over to them, wanting to keep the conversation away from others. “Still nothing?” I ask, disappointed.“I lost their scent on the other side of the mountain,” Beta Castor says with a frown.“Leah stayed at the Cabin in case she’s stupid enough to go back there,” Tony says.I nod. “We’ll pick up the search again in the morning,” I tell them.

Chapter: Chapter 87-Christmas Eve“How is the feast coming along?” I ask Melanie, the pack’s head cook.“Everything is coming along nicely, Alpha. I’ve ensured there’s plenty of food for both packs, with extras.” She says with a proud smile.“You’ve done amazingly, Melanie. If there’s anything you need help with, please speak with Gino,” I tell her.“The Omegas are all taking care of everything, Alpha. They’ve been very helpful, as always.”“I’m proud of all of you,” I tell the rest of the Omegas and they all smile and bow their heads.“Alpha, I need a word with you,” Leah says from the kitchen door.“Of course,” I tell Leah. “Please excuse me, Melanie,” I smile at her.She bows her head and returns to her work, and I follow Leah into the dining room, where I find Rich and Noah waiting.“What can I do for our Epsilons today?” I ask with a smile.“We have a report from our border patrol, Alpha,” Rich says.“There’s been a sighting of a couple of rogues hanging around our borders,” Noah explains.I stiffen. “From the pa

Chapter: Chapter 86-A New GammaThree hours laterWe watch as fight after fight ends, and the defeated warriors fill the sidelines of the training field, joining the rest of the pack in cheering and enjoying the spectacle.We watch Michael closely as he defeats opponent after opponent.“He hasn’t lost any of his strength,” Cassia says, and I think I see something flash in her eyes, but whatever she was feeling quickly disappears when she notices me staring at her.“Or his viciousness,” Ryna adds.“Nothing wrong with some viscousness in your Gamma, Beta,” Harry says.“As long as it’s towards our enemies...” Gino mumbles.I focus back on Michael as he defeats another warrior, trying to ignore the guilt I feel from Gino’s comment.“Maybe you should have just named him Gamma, Alpha,” Tony says. “He has the advantage of being a born Beta. I don’t think anyone will beat him.”“It is looking that way. But maybe that will earn him back some of the respect he lost.”“Doubtful. But we’ll see,” Ryna says.“Cole could give him

Chapter: Chapter 85-Best FriendsAs I walk towards Ryna’s house with Andreas, I can’t help the pounding of my heart as I think of my best friend never forgiving me.I feel Andreas squeeze my hand tightly, and I give him a small smile as we climb the steps of Ryna’s small cottage. I take a breath as we approach the door and knock.Gino answers the door a few moments later, and I’m engulfed with the anger he feels as it radiates from his body.“He needs time, Alpha.” He says shortly.“I understand, Gino. But there are pack matters that need to be attended to,” Andreas says when I don’t say anything.“I will make sure that all pack matters are dealt with,” Gino responds, his glaring eyes never leaving mine.I swallow the lump in my throat and finally find the words I want to say. “I’m not here about pack business,” I say, my voice coming out as a squeak. “I came to apologize for everything that happened yesterday.”“It’s going to take more than apologies, Alpha,” Gino says angrily.“I know, but I can only start there.”

Chapter: Chapter Four–Fire FestivalElisha P.O.V“What exactly am I supposed to wear to a fire festival?” I ask Uku, who is lounging on my bed, watching me go through my clothes.“Just wear something light and casual. With all the fires around, it gets hot,” he says as he gets up off the bed, walks over, and gently nudges me out of the way. “Here, put this on,” he says, handing me a red strapless maxi dress and some thongs.“Is Keoni really a fire dancer?” I ask him as I slip the dress on.“Yeah, he really is! He’s amazing. His family has been fire dancers for five generations.”“Wow… That’s really cool. I can’t wait to see him in action then,” I say as I pull my hair back into a loose ponytail.“You have to let me do your hair and makeup one night,” Uku says, fluffing up my ponytail.“I don’t usually wear much makeup, just mascara and lip-gloss,” I tell him as we grab our things and leave my house.“There’s a sexy goddess in there, and I’m going to find her,” he says as he opens the car door for me.“Ha! Good luck!” I

Chapter: Chapter Three – SanctuaryJordan P.O.V‘What the fuck just happened?’ I think to myself as I watch Elisha walk out of the bar with Uku instead of me. Everything was fine until I got up to piss.I look at Ailani and Keoni, and Ailani just shrugs her shoulders. “I guess we should probably head off too. It was nice getting to know you better, Jordan,” she says with a smile, and they get up and leave.I sit there dumbfounded, trying to figure out what could have happened between the time I left the table and when I got back. When I look over to see Eva cleaning the tables, I realise there are only a couple of people left in the pub.Eva saunters over to me and stands behind me, massaging my shoulders. “I’m off in thirty minutes. Your place or mine?” She whispers seductively in my ear. I rub my hands over my face in frustration before I answer. “Yours. You know the rules,” I say as I stand up and walk over to the bar.#Elisha P.O.VI toss and turn, trying to get Jordan out of my head. But that kiss... His hand on

Chapter: Chapter Two – A Chance MeetingJordon P.O.VI glance at the clock on the wall; it’s 9 p.m. “Fuck it,” I mumble out loud. I’m done for the day. I can’t look at these codes any longer. Switching my computer screen off, I stand up and stretch before going over to my bar and pouring myself a scotch. I step out onto my deck and breathe in the night air, and an instant sense of calm washes over me. I can see the lights from the central part of the island, and there’s rhythmic music carrying on the breeze. They must have a few at the pub tonight.I never thought that I would live in a place like this. I moved from Brightview because I was sick of city life. The constant stress of the daily grind was becoming too much for me, and after sleeping through half the city, I was bored with seeing the same faces that frequented my bed. Being a software engineer, I can work anywhere in the world, so I quit my job and started my own business in Lai’eloa to be closer to my cousin, Mitch. Now I can just work from home with the client

Chapter: Chapter One – I’ve Arrived!Elisha P.O.VMy mouth is agape as I stare out the taxi window at the passing scenery of Lai’eloa; the tropical plants and dense rainforest are simply… breathtaking. I’ve been hearing about the island’s rich history and deep-rooted culture since the driver picked me up from the small airport, and I still can’t believe I’m here.We finally arrive outside my new home, a raised one-story beach shack right on the water’s edge, after what seemed like an eternity because of my excitement. Quickly paying the driver, I open the taxi door with a big smile and take a deep breath; the smell of the ocean filling my senses as I step out into the warm tropical breeze of spring. I take my bags from the taxi’s boot, then walk along the stone path and up the few steps to the small front porch.With giddy excitement, I unlock the front door and walk inside, leaving my bags at the door to look around. The photos did not do this place justice. Despite its small size, it is fully furnished with everything
