”From what we have I believe Graig plans to sell Glow Star off,”“But how is that even possible…. You own everything now.” Belle and I sat together in my room discussing, that evening, we finally received the recording from Zach's Beta. He was lucky enough to fix the phone tracker and record it into his Alpha’s phone, enabling us to track down and also listen to every conversation being held in the room.Yes, I forced the Campbells to sign off the pack and everything under its name, without their knowledge, I am legally the pack's owner now.“Elle, that doesn't stop the scheme to attack Glow Star, the pack might belong to Dominic in a few days if they succeed in their plot, innocent souls would get hurt, and I would never put our men under such circumstances where they fight for a course they know nothing about,” “But Abi, we can not sit and watch them invade the pack, we have to do something and fast.”My manager was right, I had to act quickly in other to save lives. This was not
Author's POV***Both men followed closely behind until the van came to a stop in front of an abandoned bungalow just outside of town.They watch Elle and the little boy being dragged out and forced into the building.Xander noticed a silver collar attached around her neck; which was an item used to prevent Werewolves from shifting into their animal side.This could only mean one thing, these unknown men were Werewolves.“Look Beta, if we are to save your mate and the child you have to listen to me carefully and follow my plan,” Xander explains to a trembling Shawn, who merely nods at his Alpha's words.“We have no idea who these people are or what they want, so we need to move carefully. They are a total of six men, you go round back while I use the front door.”***Meanwhile inside“Who are you people? What do you want from us? Let us go!” Belle kept screaming at her abductors.“Shut the fuck up bitch or I'll slit that tongue.” one of them hissed back,Luckily they were not bound or
Abigail's POVMy plan of calling off the deal with the Campbells was only to seize their in-flow of cash, everybody was well aware the pack was in serious debt and was merely hanging on a thread.Signing the deal with them was the only way to get inside and uncover hidden truths.Now, my strategy might be the reason my best friend and my son have been abducted.Scott and Jax arrived at the house after I texted them about the situation on hand.Chase and his men were already tracking their whereabouts using the street CCTVs.“We've got something, boss,” Chase speaks up. “We just received a text from Zach's Beta, he has them both. He sent us an address.”“What are we waiting for, let's go!” I yell before running out of the house.Jax and Scott rode together, while I went in another car.The entire ride my heart raced, and anxiety crammed my body as thoughts of them hurting my child filled my mind.The relief I felt was out of this world when I realized we arrived on time to save them, S
Alexander's POVThe evening's weight hung heavy, like a physical presence, as Shawn and I stepped into the pack house. The familiar scent of leather and cedar enveloped us, but the tension from our encounter lingered, seeping through the walls like shadows."Did you see the boy?" Shawn's voice broke the silence, his words tinged with disbelief and bitterness.I remained silent, lost in my tumultuous thoughts. Memories of Abigail flooded my mind—her laughter, her gentle touch, the sparkle in her eyes. Those memories were now tainted by the painful truth.Shawn continued, oblivious to my internal struggle, "I cant believe all these years they've been together, even Jax!"His words cut deep, echoing the guilt I felt. Abigail had changed; the sweet girl I once knew had been replaced by someone hardened, distant. Her eyes, once filled with love, now held a flicker of resentment."What happened to her?" I wondered. "What stole her light?"And then there was Belle, Shawn's mate, who had c
Abigail's POVAs we arrived home, the soft glow of the nightlight in the hallway welcomed us back, casting a gentle aura that momentarily soothed my frayed nerves. I carefully tucked Xavier into bed, my heart heavy with the events of the day. The little boy had seen more than any child should have to endure, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that clung to me like a shadow.“Mommy, who are those people? They tried to hurt Aunt Belle and me,” he asked, his innocent eyes wide with confusion and fear.I knelt beside him, brushing a lock of hair from his forehead. “It’s alright, sweetie. Those were bad men, but you don’t need to worry now. Mommy took care of it.”“How about my heroes, Mommy?” His voice was small, and the weight of his words struck me like a physical blow. “What heroes?” I asked, even though I knew exactly what he meant. My heart swelled with pride and sorrow as I watched him. At just five years old, he had grown too big for his age. He understood so much more
The morning sun poured through the large windows of the dining room, casting a warm glow that contrasted sharply with the tension hanging in the air. Everyone was seated around the table, but the plates remained mostly untouched, a stark reminder of the emotional turmoil weighing on us. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and cooked bacon filled the space, yet it did little to stir our appetites. Audrey and Jax exchanged worried glances, their concern evident. They watched as I picked at my food, the bite of toast cold and uninviting on my plate. It felt like a cruel joke that breakfast, a symbol of new beginnings, was marred by the heavy shadows of the past.“Abi, my child, take it easy on yourself. Everything will be fine,” Audrey said softly, her voice wrapping around me like a comforting blanket. I stared up at the woman who had saved my life and guided me through the darkness, her kind eyes filled with warmth and empathy.“Thank you, Rey,” I murmured, my heart swelling with
As Shawn stepped into the room, flanked by Scott, a familiar shadow clung behind them. My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a drum as he came into the light. Just as I imagined Alexander Reed was also here—inside my office. The man I once loved and had been forced to forget stood just a few feet away.Our eyes met, and for a moment, time stood still. My breath hitched, and I felt a rush of emotions flooding over me. Anger, sadness, regret—the memories of our past swirled around us like ghosts. My gaze darted to Scott, who looked pleadingly at me. “I know I should have asked before bringing them here, but with the rising issues at hand, we need them,” he explained, desperation lacing his voice. Belle and Shawn were already lost in each other’s gazes, a bond crackling between them that was palpable in the air. It reminded me of the connection Alex and I once shared, a bond now shattered by betrayal and distrust. My attention shifted back to Alex, who was staring at me with a
Abigail… I know I have no right to be here or stand in front of you, but here I am,” Alexander said, his voice steady yet heavy with emotion. Every word he spoke seemed to thrum in the silence of the room, tension thickening the air like a storm about to break. All eyes were on him, and I felt their weight as if they were all waiting for my reaction.“Scott told us everything concerning the Campbells and this enemy, Dominic. Please, let me help you,” he continued, his expression earnest.“What makes you believe that I should accept this offer?” I shot back, anger flaring within me. “It seems you forget too easily how you tossed me out without a second thought, and now you want to help in my retribution?” My words cut through the tension like a knife, and I could see the impact they had on him. His shoulders sagged slightly as if my accusations were heavy burdens he had to carry.“I understand you’re angry, but—” he began, but I interrupted him.“Angry? Did you say you understand?
Back at the pack house, Lia frantically stuffed clothes into her suitcase, her eyes darting nervously to the door. Anxiety gripped her like a vice. If Andy had been caught, it was only a matter of time before her own secrets unraveled. She could almost feel the blade hovering over her neck. Running—fleeing from New Age and the country—was the only way to protect herself and her daughter.Little Anne sat on the bed, watching her mother with wide, innocent eyes.“Mommy, are we going somewhere?” the child asked softly.Lia forced a smile, trying to hide the fear in her voice.“Yes, baby. Mommy’s taking us somewhere safe.”Anne tilted her head curiously. “Will Daddy come with us?”Lia’s smile faltered. A bitter laugh escaped her lips as her heart twisted painfully. She had loved Alexander all her life, but he had never truly seen her. To him, she was nothing more than a fleeting distraction. He had chosen Abigail, and now that Abigail had given him a son, Lia’s hopes were crumbling.“N
The room fell into a stunned silence as Jax, Audrey, and Xavier stepped inside. Even the music ceased, its absence amplifying the charged atmosphere. All eyes turned to Rey, who beamed gracefully, her hand intertwined with Jax’s as they walked in unison.Little Xavier, dressed identically to his father in a sharp tuxedo, sprinted toward the couple’s table.“Mommy, Daddy! I missed you!” he shouted gleefully as Xander scooped him up in his arms.“I missed you too, son,” Xander responded, his voice warm as he peppered kisses on Xavier’s chubby cheeks.Abi joined them, pressing a tender kiss to Xavier’s head. “We missed you even more, baby,” she said softly.By then, Audrey and Jax had reached the couple. Xander turned to address the crowd, his voice strong and clear.“Everyone, may I present my beloved birth mother, Audrey.” His tone was filled with pride as he gestured toward her.Audrey stepped forward, her expression calm yet dignified. “Congratulations on your special day, children.
Hurry! Hang the curtains! Don’t forget the flowers for the decorations!” Josy screamed at the servants.The morning sun was already high in the sky as the New Age Pack house buzzed with preparations for the event later.I stood by the railing of the staircase, observing the flurry of activity below. With a coffee in one hand, I let out a deep breath. Anxiety began to creep in as the reality of what was about to happen sank in.Every girl dreams of her wedding day—the special day when she professes her love in front of family and friends. For me, today was that day. Although things with Alex were still on edge, I knew we loved each other. Nobody’s perfect, and we all stumble, but the ability to acknowledge mistakes and strive to do better says a lot about a person.Alex hadn’t always been the best mate to me, but deep down, I knew he would be a great husband and father to our son.“Today is going to be perfect. Everything. I promise,” a voice said behind me. I turned to see Xander s
The water cascaded down our bodies as Alexander’s strong hands pulled me closer, roaming over every inch of my skin. His touch was commanding, yet tender, and I surrendered completely, letting him lead.A soft moan escaped my lips as his fingers teased my most sensitive areas, sending waves of pleasure through me. Moments later, we were lost in each other, exploring and savoring the sweetness of our passion.Soon, my back pressed against the shower wall, my legs wrapped tightly around him as he entered me with a slow, deliberate rhythm. Our lips collided in a heated kiss, tongues tangling as the intensity of the moment consumed us. The pleasure was overwhelming, a bliss I never wanted to end.Then his pace quickened. His thrusts grew harder and faster, pushing me to the edge. I clung to him, lost in the intoxicating mix of pain and pleasure until we both reached the pinnacle together.“I bet the entire house heard us,” I gasped breathlessly, trying to steady myself.“I don’t fuck
Babe, do you think I packed enough clothes? Or maybe I need to pack more shoes?” Belle asked Shawn for the fifth time that morning. I could sense the tension in her, and of course, anyone would feel that way—especially when your mate decides to bring you back to his pack and family.I’ve been there before, so I totally understand the anxiety.“It doesn’t matter, babe. I’ll get you whatever you need. Besides, you won’t need many clothes anyway,” he replied with a grin. Belle immediately flushed red with embarrassment.I observed their little exchange from the corner without interrupting. Belle reminded me of my younger self when I first met Alexander. The thrill and excitement that made me tremble—it was a feeling and time I would never forget.“She seems nervous…” a voice said, breaking my thoughts. I turned and met his green eyes staring back at me. He looked incredibly handsome in that white T-shirt.“Who wouldn’t be?” I retorted with a snort, rolling my eyes at him while trying
Xander? How?" I asked, tears welling in my eyes."I asked Zach for help," he replied simply.Suddenly, I rushed into his arms, unable to hold back the sobs that escaped me. His familiar scent and the solid strength of his embrace felt like home. "Thank you for doing this for me. It means so much," I murmured into his chest, my words muffled against his warmth."It's alright now. Look—flowers," he said gently.I pulled back and turned to see a bouquet of red roses placed delicately by the corner. My breath hitched. "How did you know? These were my mom's favorite flowers.""I just know," he said softly, his gaze steady, filled with understanding.We sat down together in comfortable silence, the presence of my parents' graves offering a strange solace. After a moment, I broke the quiet. "Hi, Mom and Dad," I began, my voice trembling. Alexander glanced up at me but said nothing, letting me continue."It’s been so long, and I’m so happy to finally see you laid to rest. Meet Alexander Re
Abigail's POVIt's been two days since the fight. Thankfully, Alex was doing much better. His wounds were gradually healing, even though Dominic shot him with a silver bullet, which slowed down his Wolf's healing ability.As for Dominic, he was arrested by the Werewolf Board Association and taken away to pay for his hideous crimes."It's still shocking that he sacrificed thousands of innocent children for his evil gain," Belle said.We were settled in the living room, discussing over tea. Shawn, Scott, and I sat together."And humans too," Shawn added. The duo was cozied up together in each other's arms. It was obvious they were inseparable."I feel sorry for every family who had to endure the torture of losing their children. However, I'm thankful it's finally over," I said.Just then, I noticed a figure coming down the stairs. We must have been so engrossed in our discussion that we failed to notice him. He was almost at the bottom when our gazes locked."Having a party without me
Outside the WarehouseThe battle raged on as two groups clashed ferociously under the moonlight. Jax, Shawn, and Scott led their teams with unmatched ferocity, some now in their wolf forms, their snarls cutting through the chaos. From the van, Belle coordinated with precision, her voice crackling over the comms.Dominic’s forces were substantial, but the sudden attack had left him unprepared. Only half of his men were stationed at the warehouse, and the tide of the fight leaned heavily in Abigail's favor."The bastard escaped!" Abigail shouted, her voice raw with frustration. Blood streaked her skin, blending with the grime of battle. She and her team had successfully fought off the men in the lab."We’ll get him. Come on!" Alexander urged, gripping her arm firmly and pulling her forward.Outside, the air roared with the cacophony of combat—cries of men, the sickening crunch of bones, and the feral snarls of wolves."I see them! They're moving south. Hurry, Abi," Belle’s voice cut
It was settled. Tonight, we decided to attack Dominic's warehouse, where his absurd experiments were taking place.It was no secret that he used babies and innocent humans for his cruel works.Our team prepared for the invasion, alongside Xander's trusted friend from the Crescent Moon Pack.Xander also had Shawn prepare his loyal fighters from the New Age Pack. We needed as many men as possible for this mission.As preparations went on, Xander pulled me upstairs to my room.I giggled at his actions. "Why are we here, Xander?""Because you need to rest," he said.My brow furrowed at his words. Rest?"Xander, you do know we have a war coming up, and we need to be downstairs preparing.""I'm well aware," he replied, "but we have trusted people like Jax, Scott, and Shawn. Let them handle things, please."I couldn't help but smile at his gesture. This new Xander was full of surprises."If you want me to rest, then why are you here with me?" I teased."Because you need me to help you rest,"
