ALPHA MICHAELIt has been two months since I last heard any news about Ruth's soul.Claire is still on the mend, but she has regained the ability to move freely around our home and engage in uninterrupted conversations. The dark circles under her eyes have vanished, and the visibility of the veins around her eyes has diminished. However, her frail physique remains a concern, as she is gradually adjusting to eating again.“Darling, what are your plans for today?” I inquire with utmost tenderness in my voice.She responds with a warm smile.Oh, how I have longed for her presence.“Well, today Italia and I will be planning our ceremony.” she replies, her voice radiating warmth.“Have you settled on a date yet?” I continue.“If it were up to me, I would choose today.” she states with a sparkle in her eye.I chuckle softly. “Oh, my baby, can’t wait to be my Luna?”Her smile widens. “Yes, sir! It has been far too long without you, my love.” She reaches out to touch my cheeks and plants a g
BETSA NADIAAs I was getting ready for Claire's ceremony, my phone buzzed with an incoming message. To my dismay, it was a photo of me preparing for the event, taken unbeknownst to me.I felt a wave of panic wash over me, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Who could possibly be spying on me? I rushed to the window, peering out to see if anyone was watching, but to my relief, it was just my pack members bustling about, preoccupied with the ceremony preparations.Suddenly, I received a mind link from my mate, Jayden, who sensed my distress. "Hey love, I can feel something's off through our bond. What’s wrong?"“It’s nothing serious, baby.” I replied, even though I wasn’t entirely convinced he believed me.Just then, the door swung open, revealing Jayden in a sharp black tuxedo, his face impeccably groomed. I felt a rush of affection as he approached and wrapped his warm arms around me from behind. We gazed at each other through the mirror, a moment of solace amidst my turmoil.“What
BETA JAYDENThe tragic loss of my parents and twin sister marked a pivotal moment in my life. It was the Black Moon Pack that provided me refuge and helped me reclaim my sense of self. Without the support of Michael's parents, who took me in during that tumultuous time, I fear I would have followed my family into the abyss.Before I crossed paths with Nadia, my existence was rather ordinary. My days were filled with attending meetings, training the young pups, or sharing a beer with Alpha Michael. However, Nadia's arrival transformed my life; she breathed new meaning into my days, rekindling my hope for a brighter future.I first encountered Nadia at a club where I was attending a meeting with the beta of another pack. The aroma of coffee wafting through the air caught my attention, and when I turned to see her, it felt as though my life was finally regaining significance.Nadia appeared frail, her thin frame a clear indication that she was not receiving adequate nourishment. Dark cir
BETA JAYDENThe ceremony unfolded beautifully, with everyone enjoying themselves, dancing, eating, and engaging in lively conversations—everyone except Nadia. She sat beside me, appearing dull and uninterested. Italia approached her multiple times, inquiring about her well-being, but Nadia merely recited her fabricated story about pregnancy, which felt insincere.I was puzzled by her reluctance to confide in me; it was tearing me apart. I needed some time to collect my thoughts, so I excused myself and decided to lie down for a moment to reflect on Nadia’s situation.By the time I glanced at the clock, it was already late. I took a shower, bathed, changed into my pajamas, and fell asleep.The following morning, my alarm rang at five o'clock, signaling it was time for the gym. As I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed that the space where Nadia had slept was empty.I went to the bathroom, assuming she might be there, but found no one. I checked the guest rooms, and in one corner room, I ca
CLAIREAfter everything Ruth inflicted upon me, I believed the worst was over, yet I soon realized it was merely the beginning of my torment. Nightmares plagued my sleep, filled with haunting images of Ruth and the atrocities she committed against me and my pack members.Michael suggested I seek therapy, but I initially hesitated, convinced I could handle my struggles alone. However, I soon acknowledged my denial as the nightmares intensified, tormenting me both day and night.Once I began attending therapy, discussing the devastation Ruth caused—specifically the murder of my parents, Beta David, and other pack members—I started to feel a glimmer of hope. Though the war seemed to have ended, Ruth's spirit lingered, reminding me that the threat could resurface at any moment. Thankfully, I had made significant strides in my healing journey.Annabelle became my lifeline. After my experience at Ruth’s coven, I decided to forge a close friendship with her and Italia. The twins played an in
BETA JAYDENMy patience wore thin when Ares mentioned he was acquainted with that Paul guy. My immediate desire was to confront him—how could he torment my mate and then take her away? However, Alpha Michael's words resonated with me: I still lacked complete information about Paul. It was wise, as a beta, to gather all pertinent details before making any rash decisions. I realized I needed to sit down and jot down any small fragments of information I could gather to understand the motives behind Paul's actions.From my perspective, Paul appeared to be a decent young man, anxiously awaiting his mate's eighteenth birthday. To shield his mate from his wolf's instincts, he sought the help of a witch to suppress his wolf until that milestone. This raised questions in my mind—why would he mute his wolf? Was it a matter of safety? Was his wolf feral, or was there another underlying issue?Gradually, I began to empathize with him; perhaps something traumatic had occurred that caused his wolf
BETA NADIAI found myself thinking frantically, desperate to catch my breath when, all of a sudden, darkness enveloped me, accompanied by the sound of an explosive blast. Blinding light filled the space, causing me to clamp my eyes shut, sensing a presence entering my basement room.Who could blame him? He had done everything in his power to create a comfortable sanctuary for me, thoughtfully preparing a space for my unborn pup, equipped with all the essentials. Yet, in return, I had only sought to escape at every opportunity.Initially, he offered warnings, but after multiple attempts to dissuade me, he concluded that the only way to prevent my escape was to keep me locked away in the basement.The door clicked shut behind me, and my heart raced uncontrollably; I felt an overwhelming urge to cry out.A low, husky voice broke through the silence, calling my name. "Nadia." Suddenly, I was drawn against a large, rock-like figure that was his body. My fear surged, and I managed to speak
BETA NADIAHe firmly clasped my hand as we descended the stairs. Lacking the strength to resist or argue, we moved quietly downwards.As we walked, I noticed three men lounging on the couch, engaged in conversation until their chatter halted, their eyes locking onto us just as I was about to speak.With a ferocious growl, Jayden’s presence rattled the glasses on the coffee table. "Let go of her bloody hand!" he shouted, his voice a mixture of fury and desperation. Before I could process his threat, Alpha Michael swiftly stepped in front of him, and Ares leaned in to whisper something to the two, prompting a nod from Jayden. His eyes burned with resentment as they fixated on me. In contrast, Paul remained calm and composed, his grip on my hand unyielding.Tears streamed down my face, and I struggled to comprehend why my mate would regard me with such animosity. Didn’t he realize that my actions were for our mutual benefit? For the safety of our packs after everything that had transpire
ALPHA MICHAEL "May I have the pleasure of dancing with you, my dear?" I asked gently."Oh, absolutely." she replied, taking my hand and rising to her feet."I have a strong desire to devour every inch of you today, both tenderly and passionately." I whispered in her ear, then placed a soft kiss on the mark on her neck.As we embraced and twirled together, we found ourselves lost in the rhythm of a sweet melody that accompanied our every movement."My love, I can hardly wait for the ceremony to conclude. I yearn for you to be with me before my belly begins to swell. Indulge in me as you wish because in just two months, I’ll look like fat and ugly" she joked, laughing at her own playful comparison."Oh, my dear, I will love you just the same, even in that elephantine form, and I will cherish you in every way." I replied, chuckling at my own quip.She playfully tapped my shoulder and pouted. "Alpha Michael, you better not call me 'elephant body' if you wish to enjoy this body of mine to
CLAIREThree months had passed.Claire sat comfortably in a long chair within the dressing room while Italia diligently styled her hair. Both Claire and Italia had made a pact to ensure their hair and makeup were perfect for their wedding day.As they were focused on their preparations, Jayden entered the room. Italia was just finishing the final touches on Claire’s hair, delicately placing a flower beside her ear.“Come on, ladies! All the guests and your soon-to-be husbands have been waiting for quite a while.” Jayden said, glancing at his watch as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back.“Hey, Dad! I’m doing my best to make Claire look stunning. Don’t forget, she’s the Luna, and she must look even more beautiful.” Italia joked, causing Claire to chuckle at her friend’s playful banter.Jayden sighed, slightly exasperated, but opted to take a seat nearby instead of leaving.“Daughter, please hurry up.” he pleaded with Italia.Claire smiled warmly at both of them, though she s
CLAIREMy concentration wavered as I noticed Uncle Jayden being attacked by the wolf, its powerful paws poised above his heart. Memories flooded back, reminding me of the time I was powerless when Ruth ruthlessly killed Uncle David. I couldn’t let history repeat itself—losing someone so dear was not an option.Determined, I began to chant a spell designed to obliterate everything within, shattering bones and internal organs. Ruth, witnessing the wolf writhing in agony, was oblivious to the source of its suffering until her gaze fell upon me.Before I could evade Ruth’s swift strike, it hit me hard, sending me crashing to the ground with a painful thud. Blood trickled from my mouth, and I felt several bones crack under the force. Struggling to regain my composure, I lay in the rain-soaked grass, the pain coursing through me like wildfire.Before I could muster the strength to rise, Ruth unleashed another blast of her dark aura, which struck the devil squarely in the back. His face slam
ALPHA MICHAELI felt an immense sense of pride for my pack members; they rallied together and fought valiantly alongside us. The determination etched on their faces conveyed a powerful message: "We are committed, and we will fight until our last breath."A smile graced my lips as I absorbed the sight of their bravery, and my only wish was for this battle to spare us from further loss."Please, Moon Goddess, be with us during this fight." I whispered in a brief prayer, hoping for her guidance.As I turned my gaze to Ruth, I struggled to comprehend what had happened to her. Instead of finding humor in her current state, one would feel sympathy for the woman who was once so beautiful. She had carried my mate for five months and had been a significant part of my life for years. Yet, she had sacrificed everything for the sake of power.In her ruthless pursuit, she murdered her own parents, her mate, and anyone who dared to oppose her. Tragically, she even sought to reshape her own daughter
CLAIREI could hardly believe my eyes; Jayden was standing next to someone who looked just like him. What truly astonished me, however, was the sight of Ares, Nadia, Jayden, and his twin laughing heartily at my bewildered expression.“Love, what’s happening here? Please don’t laugh at me.” I implored, gazing pleadingly at my mate, as the others continued to chuckle at the pallor of my face.Michael turned me to face him, saying. “Baby girl, this is Paul Reed, the last member of the trio alongside Jayden and Italia. At the hospital, a woman who worked there took Paul, claiming to Jayden’s parents that the other trio couldn’t make it.”“What? Why would someone do something so cruel to another parent of a pup?” I questioned, my mind racing.“So you’re telling me that Uncle Jayden didn't know?” I asked, glancing at Jayden and Nadia, who both nodded in confirmation. “Yes, Jayden was unaware, and Paul is also my mate.” Nadia revealed, dropping yet another bombshell. I was left momentarily
CLAIREHave you ever found yourself in a moment of pure relaxation, completely detached from the outside world, only to find your thoughts consumed by a single prayer for Nadia's return? That’s precisely where I am.Months of relentless training alongside the twins have fortified me. Now, even if Ruth were to reappear, I would have the urge to confront her directly for the pain she has caused me.Despite the challenges we faced, many pack members who had fled or gone into hiding have returned. While it may not seem significant, having even 500 of them back is a welcome relief compared to the dire situation at the safe house, which housed 900 wolves and 450 pups. This gives us hope for the future growth of our pack.Our core group—my mate ,Ares, Jayden, the twins, the Underground Devil, and Alpha James, Annabelle's mate—have all dedicated ourselves to intense training. We knew that since my mate and the pack members were unprepared to combat the witch, we needed to be ready for any oth
