Erica Point Of View

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Cole took my hand and led me to his striking blue-black Porsche.

He is truly a gentleman, he opened the door for me and buckled my seatbelt. In the car, he took my hand again while skillfully navigating us through busy streets with his other hand. I love how much attention he gave me, making me feel like I'm incredibly important to him. It reminded me of Johnston, who also treasures me deeply.

As Cole drove, he described how the houses were arranged based on the ranks of their owners; those with higher rankings were located nearer to the packhouse. Windcrest features a well-equipped sports complex and playground, educational institutions up to the college level, and various civil service agencies. Everything appears to be constructed in an orderly fashion.

"Do you like it?" Cole asked, glancing at me briefly before refocusing on the road.

"Quite a lot," I replied, genuinely impressed. "You've really maximized t

    Alpha Cole’s Point Of ViewI've never encountered anyone as beautiful as Erica. Her innocence is incredibly alluring, and I can't help but want her to be mine. However, she's deeply invested in that rubbish of a mate bond. My first step has to be getting that out of her head and then continuing with my plans for her. Watching her effortlessly mingle with my friends, laughing and chatting, has already stirred a strong reaction in me. It’s almost painful how intense my member is right now, but I know I need to take things slowly. She is the daughter of an Alpha, with her father watching over her strictly from a distance. From afar, I could sense his vigilant eyes on us, a constant reminder of the limits I must respect. That witch in her company was clearly sent as a guardian, she had no trust in me whatsoever. Thankfully, my Beta's interest in her kept her engaged and away from us, giving me the opportunity to be with Erica without interr

    Erica’s Point Of View I froze at once!!Cole's words echo in my mind. "I think I am going to keep you."As if it were a fact, I have no control over this, my fate is sealed. Slowly, I open my eyes as the warmth of intimacy ebbs away from me. My gaze becomes fixed on a silhouette through the glass of a closed window in front of me, a woman observing us. Her blonde hair and lackluster hazel eyes stand out amidst her almost resigned expression. She meets my stare with an air of desperation, like someone who has abandoned all hope in life. Yet at this moment, there are other matters demanding my attention. "Who gave you the right to keep me here? Are you my mate? I don't believe so, mister!" I exclaimed in my Alpha tone, turning to face him with confidence. The situation was escalating rapidly.Cole needed to understand that I am neither his subordinate nor a part of his pack, so he has no authority over me. His words were infuriating, especially the possessive tone

  • Absolutely Fated to You   Chapter 21- A Voice

    Erica took down the mind wall, allowing a voice to come through. 'Erica, relax. There's no need to panic. Just follow the Alpha's instructions, we've got everything under control.' 'Who is this? Johnston?' the woman asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.'You'll find out soon enough. Trust me, everything will be fine. Just do what he says and you'll be safe by tomorrow," the man assured her. Erica is bewildered, if this person can communicate through the mind link with her, he must belong to her pack. However, the only person she had seen around was Johnston, and this voice definitely did not belong to him. With no other options available, she chooses to comply with this person. 'Please, there are fifteen other women here who need saving too,' Erica pleaded. 'We'll see what we can do for them. Ultimately, though, it's their personal choice to be there,' the voice concludes. 'Don't be fooled by them, th

  • Absolutely Fated to You   Chapter 22- Cole Is Dead!

    Erica’s Point Of ViewWe arrived at an impressive, ornately decorated hall. As I stepped out of the car, Cole took my hand and tucked it inside his arm. Together, we appeared like a loving couple attending a grand event. Inside, everyone greeted us with deep bows, a gesture that felt strange to me, given that in Crescent Moon, my father emphasized respect for all ranks rather than servility. We approached a lower stage where Beta Zen awaited. Cole ascended the platform, leaving me in front. And then suddenly, everything unfolded in a flash. Beta Zen seized Cole's shirt and tore it apart. Within moments, I witnessed Johnston wielding a silver knife, planting it forcefully into Cole's heart as the Alpha stood utterly shocked. Blood sprayed across the stage. “This is what you get when you kidnap the one I love," Johnston roared at Cole's bloodied face. “You messed up with the wrong woman. She warned you that you'd end up dead." With those words, Johnston

  • Absolutely Fated to You   Chapter 23- The Plot

    We are currently seated in a spacious conference room. In front of us, the Head of the Council and my father sit behind a massive table, with Beta Zen on their right and Johnston to their left. Two other Betas and Gammas from Windcrest are there as well, including Cole's two brothers. Lyle and Justin stand dejectedly, their shoulders slumped in defeat. The loss of their Alpha brother has hit them hard and as it stands now, none of them will succeed him. The disapproval of the President of the Council hangs in the air and discourages anyone from taking the risk of a repeat by appointing one of them. The news of Cole's death has already spread throughout the pack and beyond but aside from a few sluts who were close to him, there is little mourning. "We extend our condolences to the family of the Alpha who has passed away," Elder Egmond formally commenced the meeting. "The Council received an urgent call from Crescent Moon

  • Absolutely Fated to You   Chapter 24- The Interrogations

    The conference room is now free of onlookers, and the Council remains seated at the table, ready to hear testimony from the women in Cole’s harem. Warriors have gone to fetch them from the mansion, giving me some time to reflect on recent events since Windcrest Alpha's downfall. Now I understand that the voice in my mind, which Era had permitted me to hear, belonged to Beta Zen. Observing how he collaborated with Johnston during Cole's liquidation made it clear they were coordinating efforts to rescue me from my predicament. There was never a doubt in my mind about Johnston coming through for me. Against a full-blooded Alpha like Cole, even with martial arts expertise like me, I knew I wouldn’t stand a chance on my own. But Johnston is and always will be my hero. But as I think about it, how could it be possible for Cole to have lost to a Gamma's son? And in human form, no less! Something doesn't add up. I glance over at Johnston, he's j

    Still Erica’s Point of View The Beta triumphs over his wolf and slowly rises from his chair. His eyes were fixed on his mate, now kneeling dejectedly with her head bowed. He gradually stepped forward until he stood before the woman, initially gazing down at her before addressing the older men seated at the table. "Yes, Natasha is my mate," he affirmed. "When Cole brought her here, we recognized the mate bond. He allowed her the choice to be with me and was ready to acknowledge her as his Beta female, but she declined. She harbored the unattainable dream of becoming the Luna of Windcrest as he had promised." A collective gasp of disbelief spreads among those present. The seemingly innocent woman was now starting to reveal different facets. My intuition about her wasn't off, there is more to Natasha than meets the eye. "I pleaded for her to accept me because there are so few destined couples in Windcrest, the Beta spoke

  • Absolutely Fated to You   Chapter 26- Missing Divine Approval

    With a guilty conscience, I glanced in Johnston's direction. A painful lump formed in my throat. Could the Beta's story be a hidden message meant for me, the script written in reverse?I have also essentially rejected Johnston for my destined mate who has yet to take shape. Interestingly, Johnston embodies everything I desire in a mate and more. He is perfect, he possesses an unmatched loyalty, affection, and even appearance. Yet I have rejected him every time he has held on to our love, even saving me from the clutches of a cruel Alpha a few hours ago.As though he could read my thoughts, he deliberately made his way toward me, fixing his gaze intently on mine. My heart races as he closes the distance between us. Once in front of me, he wrapped an arm around my waist and softly guided me to a secluded area behind the building for some privacy. We settled on a bench near a fountain, its gentle water sounds offering a calming ambiance.The soothing sou

    Erica’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I felt a little dizzy.My vision was blurred, and I had to blink a few times to see my surroundings properly. In a corner, I saw Luna Sarai sitting on a mud chair, supported by the wall. She was unconscious, her face pale. I stumbled over and shook her shoulders.“Luna, wake up. Something has happened to us,” I whispered urgently. I blew on her face a few times. A few seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at me.“Luna, wake up. We have been kidnapped. We have to find a way out,” I explained to her. She just stared at me, her body stiffened but she was still unresponsive.At that moment, I heard a noise coming our way. Someone appeared in the doorway, and I kind of remembered him as the man who came to meet us at the clearing. Behind him was Xena.“Xena, what's going on? Where's Johnston?” I asked her urgently. "Why are we here?"“Erica, my Master here will explain everything to us. I don't know everything that's going o

    Johnston followed suit, his movements precise and controlled. "Erica," he murmured gently. As he applied the liquid to his face, his eyes briefly closed as though searching for an inner connection. I grabbed the last bottle and mirrored their actions.I pretended to perform a ritual by closing my eyes for an extra moment and taking a deep breath, as though I were absorbing power from the bottle. The air around us seemed charged with unusual energy, and I could feel their eyes on me, observing my every action with suspicion.All three of them gazed at me intently until I opened my eyes and smiled, exuding a sense of calmness and reassurance."This will enable you to maintain your connection with them," I assured, my voice steady. "Please, be assured they are safe. They'll be back with you before you know it."The Alpha and Johnston shared a wary glance, but the ritual appeared to have pacified them for now. The delicate spark of trust I had kindled was fragile, and I understood that c

    "My mate! Where is she? You bastard!" the Alpha roared, half-shifted into his huge black wolf.His fur bristled with rage, and his eyes glowed with a feral intensity. He was ready to behead me but remembered at the last moment that he needed me to get his mate back. His growl reverberated through the air, I was sure it could be heard miles from here."Erica!!" Johnston bellowed now with desperation and fury.He, too, was almost shifted, his claws out and his sharp fangs exposed. His eyes were pitch dark, filled with a savage determination. These powerful werewolves were deeply infatuated with their mates and were not to be underestimated. They were willing to go to great lengths to get their women back. I have to tread carefully now."Relax," I signed with my hands, trying to project calmly. "Everything will be fine. I know how to get them back. This is just temporary.""What do you mean by that?! Why did she suddenly disappear? Where is she?" the Alpha demanded, his voice dripping wi

With this, a sense of urgency and dread was added to this mission. I exchanged a worried glance with the witch, who nodded grimly.I’m Master Brent. Xena considers me a warlock, but in fact, I am one of the remaining Endarkened Shadow hunters. For centuries, I have been looking for a way to use the divine Seraph Knife, a special weapon to make supernatural beings like me more powerful. With this weapon, I could become the master of the universe and make both demons and humans bow to me.To activate the powers of the Seraph Knife, I must mate with an angel or a supernatural being of high rank. At the peak of our mating, I have to call out the name of an angel loudly and stab the woman in the heart.

    “There is a clearing on the border of Crimson Moon and neutral land. Let's take our conversation there,” suggested Master Brent.‘Johnston, there is a clearing at the Crimson Moon border. Just try to get everyone there. Three more hours,’ I texted Johnston.Master Brent went on to visit some specific ancient places in our area, each location steeped in history and mystery. It was as if he was asking for permission from the elders to call for the graves. The rituals he performed were intricate, involving ancient symbols and incantations that reverberated through the air.I know this is going to be drastic. The great thing is that I will learn a lot from this experience, it is the first time that I am going to witness this. I'm excited but still scared of what might come out of this.

    Still Johnston’s POVAfter our conversation on the beach with Alpha Rudi, which didn't provide any clarity, Erica and I decided to set aside all concerns until Xena returned. During this time, we enjoyed ourselves immensely at the Crimson Moon. It felt as though we were the only ones living in this pack, entirely captivated by one another. We held hands and explored every corner together, stealing hugs and kisses whenever it pleased us. Each moment brimmed with laughter and affection, causing the days to drift by in a joyful blur. At present, I was seated on the private balcony of the room Erica shared with Xena while she took her evening nap. I was enjoying the soft glow of the setting sun enveloping everything in a warm, golden light. A few pack members were busy with cleaning tasks beneath the balcony, and I happened to overhear a conversation between two of them. As I sat on the balcony while Erica napped, I overheard a conversation

    We gave Xena a ride to the main road and bid her farewell. Xander awaited her arrival in his brand-new Bentley, the car’s sleek lines gleaming under the morning sun. Watching them reunite was such a pleasant sight, their passionate greeting made it clear that this long-distance relationship wasn’t easy for them. Their reunion overflowed with tender touches and whispered words, every gesture exuding their deep affection for one another. Earlier we informed the Alpha about Xena's unexpected departure, explaining that she had to urgently return to her coven for work that could not be postponed but would be back in two days. The Alpha listened attentively and nodded understandingly. Given Luna Sarai’s unforeseen request for us to extend our stay by a few more days, this statement was acceptable to the couple. I had hoped to stealthily sneak Xena out and back without anyone noticing, but Erica was determined to inform the Alpha. She's such a

    Still Johnston’s POV At least he had the decency to avert his gaze while I looked at him. "Her true mate was at the party last night, but he doesn't belong to your pack, Alpha Rudi," I hissed. My words carried a warning as my patience began to wear thin. Luna Sarai's laughter erupted, instantly dissolving the tension in the room. "That's deep, sweetheart. You really took it too far," she said with a hiccup, amusement twinkling in her eyes, shattering the Alpha's confidence. He glanced around uneasily, clearly out of his depth. He struggled for words in an attempt to recover from the predicament. “I, um, I didn’t mean to offend, Johnston. I’m just concerned about the well-being of my pack and our alliances." "Alpha, it’s best you keep your concerns in check. Erica's journey is her own, and your intrusive questions are out of place. If there was anything you needed to know, you'd have found

    The following morning, I woke up early. Erica lay beside me, sleeping peacefully like an angel, providing the perfect opportunity to watch her. The early morning sun bathed her tranquil face in a gentle glow. These were the moments I treasured most, those simple, intimate times that reminded me how deeply I loved her. I drew her closer, embraced by the warmth of her body against mine. She instinctively nestled deeper into my chest, savoring the heat I provided. It was as if my arms were crafted just for her, she fit perfectly within them. All I desire now is to have meaningful time with Erica, cherishing this quiet moment with her and creating memories that might sustain us if things become difficult. Seeing how serene she looked while sleeping filled me with love and a sense of protectiveness. I softly brushed a strand of hair from her face, amazed by how beautiful she was in such an unguarded state. After that brief period of sentimen
