It was obviously Luna Hailey's plan to make the two Lunas fight and they fell right into it or Luna Hailey fell right into it. She really was very evil and that meant that I needed to be extra wary of her. Even though I haven't been around mich wolves apart from family and friends, I knew one that spelt trouble once I see her."So you're saying that you don't trust your mate?! Huh, how believable since you're such a grade A b*tch!" Luna Kat spat, Looking very angry and drawing my attention away from Luna Ashley and back to the two."Lunas, please calm down! There's no need to fight here. We're all here to bond, get to know each other and have fun!" Luna Kasey interjected as she stepped between the two couches, blocking their views of each other while they glared at each other."Exactly as Luna Kasey said. How can my dear Luna mate be fighting with another Luna when I am brothers with the other Alphas?" Alpha Sloan's voice drifted to us, making us all turn around to see him, Alpha Wyat
Alpha Clause's words sent delightful shivers through my body and my body heated up at what he meant. My cheeks heated up too in a blush and I suddenly felt shy as I mumbled, "Okay."The dinner soon finished and we all went home, that was after exchanging numbers with all Lunas. As we entered the pack house, we saw something very surprising. Beta Connor was making his way to the door with his suitcase in his hand while Brittany rushed after him. Alpha Clause looked shocked and so did I as he asked him, "Where are you going, Beta Connor?""I'm sorry, Alpha, but I have to leave because I can't stand being around my mate when she rejected me for you. It hurts too much for me to continue staying here." Beta Connor answered him as his face looked pained."How can you leave after all that we've been through together as a pack?" Alpha Clause asked as a small frown fell on his brows."I'm sorry, Alpha. I hope that you can understand where I'm coming from and accept my decision." Beta Connor re
Alpha Clause looked at me and I gave him a reassuring smile, knowing that no man or hewolf could make me leave him. Beta Connor nodded, looking relieved at our words and smiled, "I'm glad that you both understand, I'll be going now.""Wait, I need to pack my things." Brittany muttered as she smiled at him which was something we barely see. Before she could leave the scene, Rachel walked into the living room dragging a large, pink suit case."No need, I already did when I saw Beta Connor packing. I knew that you two have to be mates with how Beta Connor has been looking at you since last year's Mating Ceremony." Rachel said with a smile as she handed Brittany's suitcase to her.Brittany frowned as she took her suitcase from her and replied in a snarky voice, "I really hate it when people touch my stuff!""Brittany, calm down. Rachel did a good thing by helping you pack, now, we can go without wasting any more time." Beta Connor explained to her as he placed a hand on her arm.She looke
Whispers carried around the dining table as most of our pack members looked shocked while only a few looked like they expected it. Alpha Clause glanced around again as he continued, "And that leaves me no choice, but to choose another Beta and I have already decided yesterday. Bailey, you will be our new Beta with the guidance of Rachel."Several gasps erupted from the crowd as they seemed shocked and I knew that it must have been because she was a shewolf. However, Riley and Ron seemed excited, especially Riley as she whispered, "Whoa! A female Beta. I want to be just like her and Luna!"One of the male wolves that have fought for our entertainment on the day of our personal Mating Ceremony stood up from the dining table.A frown fell on his brows as he protested, "But Alpha, Bailey is a shewolf! How could she be a Beta? There are so many male wolves in the pack house and in the whole south that are part of your pack, why give the title to a shewolf?"Alpha Clause's face darkened as
I realized that the growl came from my Alpha mate as he saw Alpha Ross attack me. Alpha Clause ran towards me in Lycan form and jumped in front of me just as Alpha Ross also assumed his Lycan form."Just surrender the East to me and all of the land because I am fit to rule all and be the one absolute Alpha! Our land is not meant to be ruled by Five Lycans!" Alpha Ross growled while in his Lycan form, his voice sounding hoarse like he has been smoking cigarettes or marijuana for a long time."That would never happen and you know it! You're committing the forbidden sin and deserve to die for all those that you have killed to suit your appetite!" Alpha Clause growled back at him as his sharp Lycan teeth with two protruding fangs clenched in anger.Before Alpha Ross could say anything more, Alpha Clause swiped his half turned arm that had sharp claws pointing from his fingertips in place of nails against his cheek. It hit Alpha Ross and made him growl out in pain. He threw both of his arm
"Carter, you will be staying here and taking care of the pack with Rachel before we come back from hunting down Alpha Ross." He ordered Carter as he turned to him."Yes, Alpha!" He answered him with firm determination as well. It seemed that he has become a lot more serious about following Alpha Clause's orders and taking care of the pack.Alpha Clause nodded at him before looking around at everyone as he started mentioning names, "Dylan, Cyrus, Ashton, Drake, Trina, Ingrid, Hunter and Tommy, you are coming with us to find Alpha Ross's cottage. Get ready for another fight because they might be expecting us once they realize that two of their rogues are missing.""Yes, Alpha!" The chorused in unison."I want to go with you too." I said to him as I placed my hand on his arm, drawing his attention to me.Alpha Clause looked like he wanted to protest before he finally nodded as he replied, "Fine even though I don't want you getting hurt, but I know that you will persist on going."My lips
My lips stretched into a smile as my heart warmed at his praise, "I hope it does because Alpha Ross might be trying to bring down all of our packs.""That's what I think the message means too, but we will find out for sure once we get back home." Alpha Clause replied to me as his lips tugged up into a smile at seeing me smile."Yeah." I replied as he started towards the door and I walked with him.The others that came with us have already walked out, so they were waiting for us when we walked out of the cottage. We all made our way back home silently, everyone lost in his thoughts. As soon as we reached the front door of Alpha Sloan's mansion, he pushed the door open and walked in with me, still holding my hand. There was only Rachel, Carter and the other rogue wolf in the living room as they sat on the couch on either side of him while waiting for us to return.The three looked our way as soon as they heard our footsteps. Carter stppd up instantly as he said, "You're back! Don't tell
"Sometimes, some come to you when you seek their vision and others don't." Rachel answered me as her smile widened, looking pleased with my reaction.I felt excited as I exclaimed, "But you can still see the future! That's amazing!""Not just the future, she can see the past and present too." Bailey replied to me as she made her way to sit down beside me on the couch that I was sitting on while the brown haired rogue went to sit on the arm chairs along with two of the others that came with us while rest made their way down a hallway talking amongst themselves."That's even more amazing!" I exclaimed again as I grinned.I heard Alpha Clause's velvety and sexy deep voice chuckle, pulling my attention to the staircase to see him making his way down. He looked amused as he made his way to me, "Yes, it is amazing indeed, and this means that we can find out where Alpha Ross is easily.""Yeah, I don't know why we didn't think of that in the first place, but it's a good thing that we did go t
Kaden looked a bit surprised while Carter smiled as he took the container from me, "Thank you, Luna.""Yeah, thanks, Luna Fay." Kaden added as he got over his shock."No problem." I replied to them and grabbed the third transparent plastic container filled with snacks out of the four that we brought. I was glad that Kaden was getting comfortable in the pack and genuinely trying to help us. I hoped that he wouldn't betray us, I also hoped the same for his friend back at the pack house.I stood up and made my way to the Lunas, noticing that Luna Ashley still hasn't returned and it was getting darker. As I sat down beside Luna Kasey, the two stopped talking and faced me with smiles on their faces. I grinned at them as I opened the container, grabbed a hot dog and passed it over, "Here, for dinner.""Thanks so much, Luna Fay. We didn't even think of bringing any food." Luna Kasey said with a smile on her face as she took the container from me and grabbed a samosa."Yeah, thank you, Luna F
I drew in a breath and let it out as the two came to sit beside me on the fallen tree branch, "Yeah, I understand what you mean.""I just feel bad for Luna Hailey that she passed away without finding out Luna Ashley's true colors." I added as I looked over at her limp body still in Alpha Sloan's arms. He looked torn and I wasn't sure if he could even go on without her."It's how fate wants it to be, so let's hope that it's for the best." Luna Kat replied to me as she wrapped her arms around herself."Yeah, let's hope so." Luna Kasey added just as a pigeon cawed as it flew towards us.It landed on Alpha Clause's shoulder which made him realize that there was a note strapped on its leg. Bailey and Rachel must have tried calling our phones and found out that there was no signal then decided to send a letter through a pigeon. My thought was proven right when Alpha Clause made his way to me to tell me what the letter was about. As he reached me, I noticed a concerned look on his face."Thi
"I have a lighter." Alpha Nathan answered me as he started pulling the lighter from his pants pocket. I wondered why he had one, did he smoke? Wow, appearances could really fool people because he didn't look like someone that smoked."Wait, what if we draw more witches or danger if we make a fire?" Luna Kasey asked, looking concerned.Alpha Clause shook his head as he answered her, "We have already wounded the witches badly and scared them away, so I don't think that they will be coming back anytime soon. And as Fay has pointed out earlier, there are no animals in this forest.""That's right, besides, we need the light to see and to warm us for the night." Alpha Mason added as he nodded."Alright then, I guess this is for the best." Luna Kasey muttered as she let out a sigh."Yes, it is, babe." Alpha Nathan replied to her as he took her hand in his and gave her a comforting squeeze.Alpha Clause glanced at me as he took his arm from around me and stood up from the fallen tree branch,
"This way, I see a path." Carter said as he gestured towards a path that led into the forest."Okay." Alpha Clause muttered while the rest noddedI glanced at Carter and then Alpha Clause, "Alright, I hope it leads to the Lake of Eversea."Me too." He added with a worried nodWe started making our way towards it while looking around and being cautious as we tried to notice any traps or anything like that. I frowned as I realized something as we continued walking deeper into the forest, "It's too quiet, I've never seen a forest as quiet as this one before."Me neither, but what could possibly be the reason?" Alpha Clause asked as he looked around, looking like he was thinking more on it"There must be no animals because the witch from earlier said that if she can't eat us, she would have to eat fruits." I answered his question as I glanced at him"How is that even possible?" Luna Kasey asked in wonder as she looked around the forest along with all of us"I think-" Alpha Mason started,
The witch let out a sigh as she raised her hand, muttering, "Now, I have no food to eat. If only more of you came here every so often, I wouldn't be stuck eating fruit all the time."She moved her fingers and the small black snakes slittered off of their shoulders and to the ground then glided over to her. They all glided into her black dress and blended into it. I was amazed, yet horrified at such magic, but I was also curious about what she said, so I asked her, "Why won't you leave this forest then if there's no food here?She looked at me, feeling surprised that I heard her mutterings, probably, not aware of my werewolf hearing. However, she tightened her lips and answered me, "I am bound to this forest forever, that is how it is, I don't remember anything besides being in this forest and eating any living thing that comes in here and gets trapped in my illusion."Then I wish that you will be able to leave someday and be free." I said to her, sincerely as I saw Alpha Clause and th
"Yes, we will protect each other." I murmured to him, making him glance back at me and our eyes clashed. My lips stretched into a wide smile, feeling glad for his care as my cheeks flushed in a blush at his intense stare. However, our attention was pulled away before we got too lost in each other's eyes."Yeah, that's right. We will protect them no matter what." Alpha Nathan added as he took his hand off of Luna Kasey's shoulder to hold her hand in his own.She smiled back at him as she replied, "I know you will!""And so don't be scared, we won't let anything harm you in there." Alpha Sloan said in a promise as he looked at Luna Hailey with a reassuring smile.She smiled back at him as she nodded, "I know you won't."Kaden and Carter stayed so quiet as they only observed us that I almost forgot that they were there. It made me wonder what was going through their heads as they stood silently in our midst of couples."Now, let's get going before the afternoon passes." Alpha Wyatt said
"Sounds like a plan." Alpha Nathan answered him with a smile on his lips."Yes, it sounds like a good idea." Alpha Mason replied next as Luna Kat nodded in response."Yeah, let's go." Luna Kasey added with a smile too while Alpha Wyatt, Alpha Sloan and Luna Hailey only nodded their heads in response. Luna Ashley just forced a smile on her face as she started walking with us. I didn't trust her coming with us, but I couldn't protest since she was Alpha Wyatt's mate.Alpha Clause stepped closer to me as he took my hand in his, interlacing our fingers as we made our way towards the Forbidden Forest which we could see from a distance. I glanced at his face to see him smiling at me as he stared at me and I blushed at the intensity of his gaze, but smiled back at him.Our moment was broken by Luna Ashley as she said, "Luna Fay, I think that the red headed vampire likes you a lot since he even calls you mon amour."I knew that she wanted to start drama, so I just smiled at her as I replied,
As soon as we did, I realized that there were more vampires than I thought and two were rushing towards me in a blur as they used their vampire speed to run. I was quick enough to dodge them as I moved to the side swiftly. They stopped running and turned around as they both growled at me. Both were male and looked just like the vampire that stood in front of our car a few minutes ago except one was blond and the other was a red head. They were also very attractive as you would expect vampires to be.The blonde one raised his hand with his claws out, trying to swipe at my face, but I jerked back, missing his claws just as the other one threw a kick towards my abdomen. I grabbed his foot and threw it back at him, making him lose his footing as he fell down on the ground. The other one rushed at me again, swiftly throwing a punch at my legs. Since I didn't see it coming, my legs buckled and fell down on the ground, sprawled on my back.The vampire pounced on me, but I was quick enough to
"Yeah, that's true, but I still think that he's a douchebag for making it so hard. Let's just hope that going through that dangerous forest is worth it." She muttered as she placed her arm on her thigh which was beside his arm, so her arm was now brushing his. But as soon as he saw this, he pulled his arm away while throwing a stern loom her way.Luna Ashley looked at him through her lashes as she batted her eyelashes and crossed her leg, making her dress ride up to expose her thighs. I clenched my teeth in anger and jealousy at seeing her throw hints at my Alpha mate and trying to seduce him. She lowered her voice as she added, "But it doesn't matter anyway since you will be there to protect us, Alpha Clause."How dare that bitch try to seduce my mate and right in front of me AND Alpha Wyatt who was in the middle seat? My wolf growled in my head, also feeling as angry as I was feeling. But before I could say what was on my mind, Alpha Clause said to her in a cold voice, "I'm sure tha
