Luna Rose's POVAs I hit the bottom step heading towards the kitchen, Alpha Braddock carrying Abigail and Charlie right behind him stormed out, "Is everything alright?" Alpha Braddock looked at me, his jaw was closed tightly, Abigail's head lifted from his neck, "Nonna Rose we go home, I don't want to be here," her little chin quivered as tears welled in her eyes. My heart broke, my only grandchild has went through hell already and now doesn't feel safe in my home. I looked at Charlie, her eyes swirling with anger, "Charlie, I understand," I bowed my head.Charlie's voice was soft, not matching her expression, "Momma, Abigail needs time to heal and," she looked at Braddock and Abigail, "we all need time to process this, it's just too soon to be able to understand each other's feeling on the matter." She shook her head, "I can't be sad that Braddock removed this threat for good, while other's in the house mourn his absence." I nodded, "let me go with you to your room, so I can ha
Charlie's POVWe've been driving for 2 hours and my stomach growls, Braddock looks at me and chuckles, "hungry?"I side eye him, "you think?"He looks ahead and sighs, "the only place between here and home is the Diner."I squirm in my seat, the memories flash in my mind of my past, but the only good thing that was in my life then was the Diner and the older couple that owned it, "that's fine, hopefully Margie is still alive and kicking in the old place."He glances at me with concern, "are you sure, I don't want any bad memories haunting you, you have enough going on right now."I smile at him, his profile is still as gorgeous as the first time I looked at him seated next to him in a car, similar to this one, but then he was a kind stranger, "I have a wonderful memory of that place too you know, it may have been one of my worst days, but you managed to make it the turning point of my life." I watched his dimple appear in his cheek and knew he had a huge smile on his face, his voice w
Sitting in my office, I rubbed my forehead and leaned back in my chair, I got through the pyre ceremony for my grandfather with difficulty, my inner turmoil of right and wrong wreaking havoc in my mind. My grandfather told me long ago about the power inside the DeLuca females, but kept hidden the power of the males. He told me we possess the power of mind minipulation, to alter the truth so that we never will be held accountable for our wrong doings, unless caught red handed. He covered his track well with Charlene, so well in fact he dragged me into it. I was so young and indifferent, I hadn't known Charlene so when he told me about what he had done and how he had fooled everyone, I was awestruck. No one talked about Charlene to me, but every time Momma Rose talked about her, she would cry uncontrolably and it saddened me to think she was still hurting over her. I took it as a female weakness, to continue to mourn the loss of someone you held dear at one time. My grandfather t
Charlie's POVAbigail fell asleep after eating at the Diner, I looked over at Braddock with concern, "Momma and I went to the root cellar on our walk." His eyes stayed focused on the road, his jaw tightened, "and." I took a deep breath, "she found journals, one is from when I was abducted and the other is about Abi," my eyes automatically went to the back seat, her little body curled up with a soft blanket over her. I turned back to Braddock, his knuckles white gripping the steering wheel, his jaw ticked as a low growl escaped his chest, "where are the journals?" I looked out the window at the forest, trees now blurry as he drives faster, "I have Abi's and Momma kept mine." I turned to look at him, "I haven't been able to read it yet, I thought it could help with her recovery if we knew exactly what he had done." He nodded, I unbuckled my seatbelt and slid over to him, putting my head on his shoulder, "Braddock, calm down please, your driving too fast on this road," I placed my
Luna Rose's POVReading this journal is more traumatic than I could have imagined, reading what my own father was capable of is disgusting, he kept my baby girl at 2 years old in a dark, damp hole in the ground for 3 years, cold, alone and hungry, constantly reinforcing that I didn't want her, I didn't love her, I knew she was there and didn't care. The amount of times I could feel my heart shatter into pieces is countless at this point and I'm only 5 years into this journal. The nightmares of Charlene's captivity began day one and most likely will continue well after my death. His torture of her was for my benefit, his words not mine, for my power to be unleashed. The guilt I feel now is of his doing, I surpressed my powers the entire time she was gone, they grew daily within me, pulsing threw my viens screaming to be released, but I wouldn't do it. I learned to control my rage inwardly, until I found the people who had taken her, then I would release my power on them and only t
Nonna's POVMy heart feels so heavy in my chest, which amazes me at this point, it has been shattered too many time during my life for it to even exsist, how does it keep beating and becoming whole again, just to shatter once more. I sigh as I stir the pot of minstrone soup, Antonia's favorite, my dear sweet granddaughter returns today, she seems to be the only one not touched by all this tragedy. My thoughts wonder to Abigail, my sweet baby who is terrified of Michael and swears that he knew about her whereabouts during her abduction by my mate. I shake my head, my mate, my heart, my lifes breath, I slam my fists on the counter, "how could you be so cold, indifferent, cruel to our children and grandchildren," tears fill my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. "I will not shed a tear for you, you hateful man-wolf, you were true evil and laid next to me nightly, whispering tenderly to me with your false words of affection, I curse your soul to burn for eternity and beyond." My tho
Braddock's POVWatching Abi wave to us from the rearview mirror is heartbreaking, we won't bring her back to Midnight under any circumstances and we have to go back. Charlie wipes her tears from her cheeks as she turns in the seat facing forward after waving to our little girl until she can no longer see her. I take her hand in mine and place a kiss on the back of it, "she's fine, she will have a nice sleep over with Ava and the guards will not let her out of their sight," I assure her. Charlie gives me a smirk, "I know, she's so excited about her first big girl sleep over," she giggles nerveously. She moves close to my side and leans into me, "we need to help him, Momma sounded so lost on the phone, do you think we'll be able to figure out how to combine our powers to help him?" I can't help but feel at a loss right now, not to mention I'm torn between wanting to rip his throat out first and then try to remove his mind manipulation, I know it's not his fault after learning ev
Alpha Michael's POVMy head is pounding as I try and open my eyes, I hear people's voices surrounding me, my body is warmer than usual, a voice I know squels, "it's working, I feel it." Charlie?, is that Charlie?, yes, now I remember she's here and so is Braddock. My head pounds again harder this time, it feels as though a sledge hammer is crushing my skull. I'm so tired, but the pain in my head is keeping me from sleep and whatever she's thinks is working is creating this pain, she needs to stop. I hear Braddock's voice, let try another, perhaps it's what truly triggered his anger. I hear the door open and a soft gasp, the sweetest scent hits my nose and the pain vanishes from my head, freshly baked bread and honey scents drift around me and then the word "MATE," softly said in my ear. Her voice is as sweet as her scent and then the sledgehammer hits my head harder this time and I feel my entire body jolt, I want to cry out in pain, but then sparks ignite on my hand and warmth e
I sit in my car outside the pack house, my knuckles white as I grip the steering wheel, I should go to her pack, talk to her, see what is going on in that beautiful head of hers. A knock on my window brings me back to reality, I look out and see Beta Charles. I sigh heavily and open the door and get out, “what’s going on?”He chuckles, “just wondering how long you planned on sitting in your car Alpha Christov, you’ve been here 30 minutes already?”I furrow my brows at him and slam the door, brush by him and head for my office, he follows in silence. I drop in my chair and glare at him, “what?”He shuts the door and sits opposite me, “Alpha Christov, what’s going on with you, ever since yesterday, you’ve been acting,” he rubs the back of his neck, “different.”I threw my head back and shut my eyes, her face appears every time I do and now it’s irritating me, she should want me as bad as I want her, and the feeling is only growing stronger the further apart we are. I tilt my head do
Momma wraps her arms around me as I get out of the car and walks with me to the garden, we sit on the blanket she has already splayed out on the ground and a basket sits on top of it. We sit and she looks at me, “what happened Abigail?”I blink back the tears that are stinging the backs of my eyes, “it snapped into place right before I was getting into the car.”She bites her bottom lip, her eyes soften and she speaks calmly, “I know you didn’t want it to happen before we knew for sure if he is the one that it behind the pup abduction ring, but now it has happened what do you want to do?”The shock of her questions, dries any tears that were threatening me a second ago, “what do you mean, he is one of the people we think could be the head of all this, you think that I would jeapordize myself to be with him and then find out he is the one.”She nods, “okay and if he’s not the one and totally innocent of this entire disgusting mess, then what, you said he has a chosen Luna already.”I
I get in the car and slam my fist into the dashboard, “AepbMo,” (shit) I look in the backseat and frown, I had it planned out, I reach over the seat and grab the bouquet of red long stem roses, open the window and throw them out it. I shake my head; I don’t know what I was thinking. Boris laughs, “you were thinking she would be alone, and you would be able to get some alone time,” he snickers. I shake my head, she’s too fucking beautiful, I throw my head back and close my eyes. The entire morning replays in my mind, from the time she jumped out of that SUV, my heart was racing. I watched her every stride, her long legs, in those tight jeans, her jacket hugging her hips and her breasts bouncing with every step, a few of her long black curls bouncing around her face. I shake my head, those pink lips curling into a beautiful smile as she spoke. Then fucking Sebastian has to flirt with her and fuck me if she didn’t flirt right back, like a dagger to my chest, I couldn’t help but gro
I stand behind my Alpha as she goes over everything with the supervisor and the engineer while Alpha Christov is nearly drooling over her. She's quick to ensure that these men do not take her lightly and stands her ground as she goes over each detail that she wants changed her way. I bite my lower lip so I don't laugh as she schools the older men in their chosen fields, she may be young but your the fool if you underestimate her. I walk behind her as we exit the small site trailer, and she removes her jacket, I snicker as I see Alpha Christov adjust his apparent hardon and a few of the construction workers eye her up and down and he notices. She sighs, “fucking buns don’t stay up,” she hands me her jacket and now I walk at her side as she pulls her hair back up to put it back in a bun and that’s when I hear a growl. She spins and I shout, “Fuck! Alpha NO.” I watch as she freezes in her spot, their eyes are locked to each other’s and I hear her groan, “ah fuck.”His thick Russian
I wake up feeling refreshed, jump in the shower and throw on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a camo tank top and a jean jacket over it with my tan hiking boots. I pull my hair up in a messy bun, knowing it won’t stay long, these curls have a mind of their own. I skip makeup because hey that’s just who I am, I’m not a fashionista or a cover girl, I’m an Alpha and was raised to be confident in my own skin.I walk into the chaos that is my family kitchen every morning and grab a cup of coffee and a pastry. My Aunt Cynthia smiles at me, “you do have good habits,” she eyes the pastry, and I grin at her as I shove it into my mouth and wiggle my brows at her.Nonna laughs, “she buys them every day for you, just as an excuse to get her own,” she looks at Cynthia, “you taught her bad things, she should be eating healthier in the mornings.”Cynthia scoffs, “Nonna Rose, it didn’t kill me yet, she’ll survive,” she laughs as she walks over and grabs the other pastry out of the box and shoves it i
Chapter 3I was sent over to the United States to my cousin’s pack to take it over since he is incompetent and a shifty fucker. I didn’t want to leave my country, I was happy there, but I had no choice, I’m 2nd born of twins, my brother Ivan is the Alpha of our home pack and sent me here. My cousin is now in the counsel’s prison for treating his pack members as slaves and extorting all the funds to live a lavish lifestyle while his pack suffered from hunger. I’ve been here 2 years, worked hard to right all the wrongs my cousin has done and have the pack now moving forward and thriving. When I got this call for a venture in the nightclub business I almost didn’t take it, though in my home country they thrive in the human world, I was unsure of the other Alpha’s, I’m not from here so I don’t know if they are good for my pack or not, but when I heard her voice on a conference call my wolf stirred and it peeked my curiosity.I almost sent my Beta to this meeting this morning and now
Chapter 2All three Alpha’s put their pens down and stand, “I guess all that’s left is us having a drink to seal this deal properly,” Alpha Sebastian states with a huge smile on his face.I chuckle, “Of course, it just seems right if we are opening a nightclub a drink would be the best choice.”Beta Josh is quick with the shots and hands them out, I raise my glass to them, “may the goddess bless this venture and make it fruitful for all of us,” I put the glass to my lips and tilt my head back downing the clear liquor and slamming the shot glass upside down on the table.”The others follow and look at me, Alpha Terrance speaks, “Alpha Abigail, I have to admit I had my doubts about going into a business like this with a,” he looks at me and I think he is now rethinking his statement but then continues, “ person of your age, but you seem to be wiser than your years,” he smiles at me.I nod at him, “thank you Alpha Terrance, I have a wonderful mentor and have been trained since birth to b

"I wish I didn't have to go to this opening," knowing he'll be there with his fiance' pisses me off. He was so smug after our inital meeting, he told me without any thought or consideration that he would not be letting her go, she's his choice of a Luna for his pack, I'll just have to get use to the idea of sharing. I know what the fated mate bond is like, I've witnessed it first hand, watching my parents, seeing the love, admiration and affection my entire life. How could I tell them that my fated wants me to share him with another woman, that's how much he thinks of me. Ava giggles at me, "oh come on, it'll be fun, you are a partner in one to the hottest night clubs in the human city that caters to our kind," she walks out of my closet and shoves clothes at me, "get out of that bathrobe and get dressed."I arch a brow at her and then throw the clothes on the bed, "fine," I remove the robe and she whistles, "hmm, lacey undies Alpha if I didn't know better I'd swear you really want
