These last few days have been hell for me. I was sure that Kosta would have at least tried to talk to me and try to work things out between us. This is the first time we have slept apart since we mated. It doesn’t seem to phase him at all. On the other hand, I cried myself to sleep that first night.
“Don’t say that Zell. It is all the bitch’s fault. Emil told me that Khalis has been whispering in Kosta’s ears for over a month. She has been slowly wearing him down,” Sapphi said.“The fault is not all Khalis’. Kosta had to be open to it for her words to work on him. How many mated men would even
I need to start getting this pack set up to run without me or my influence. I also need to get with Gamma Tima and give him a heads-up that I am leaving tomorrow. I hate it, but I’m going to have to Luna Command him not to say anything until I am gone. As much as I know him and Beta James loves me,
Gamma Tima was completely shocked. No one knew how bad it really was or how dirty Kosta tried to do me after everything I did for him and this pack. “Do you have any proof for any of this?” Tima asked.“Of course I do. Don’t be like Kosta and Khalis and forget who I am. To start, I recorded my conv
Looking at the screen, I see that there are a couple of new videos that have recently been recorded. I left the cameras in my office on a motion detector so I can see if anyone tried to access anything in my office. They don’t know that I kept all my files on my secured laptop.“Oh, someone has been
“Do you mean to tell me that Luna Zelayah is moon blessed as well as a pureblooded alpha and this fool is about to throw her away? He is dumber than I thought. Did either of you pay attention to the werewolf history class? Of course not, because if you did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. H
Sapphire and I are fuming mad. Tima looks like he is ready to murder someone. This bitch is trying to set me up to be raped. She will die a slow and painful death. I will let her stew for a while. She will never see it coming. I’m going to let her think she escaped, but I am coming for her after I h
“Mate loves us, Zell.” Sapphire cries. “Emil loves us Sapphi. I’m not so sure that Kosta does or ever did. Sapphi, I believe Khalis is going to win. Kosta is going to sleep with her. We have to protect our pup.” I answered. “We and our pup will be ok no matter what. Remember we are stronger than
The tension from the confrontation with Anya still lingered as I stepped into the pack house, my senses buzzing with the heightened emotions of my pack. My mind replayed the scene outside—the way Anya had dared to challenge not just Terrance, but the very order of my pack itself. Sapphire growled so
"Zel, your mate will love you and your pup," Uncle Carlton reassures me. "If I were a second-chance mate, I’d love the pup as my own."Aunt Alice adds, "If Sapphire’s reaction is any indication, your mate is likely in our pack, which rules out him being an alpha from elsewhere."I nod. "Life’s about
As we continue our journey, we’re all in quiet contemplation. Remnants of our conversation linger in my mind, and there is a lot to process. Being part of a prophecy is kind of a big deal, and it comes with massive responsibility. Try as I might, I can’t figure out why so much pain has to come with
“So, Mom, what does the prophecy say, and how does it impact my children and future grandchildren?” I ask.“Let me just tell you the prophecy, and we’ll go from there. The prophecy says:When the Alpha Luna rises, betrayed by destiny, Her howl shall shatter the chains of tradition. Two heirs wil
Right now, our family has two dynasty packs. Mooncrest became a dynasty pack when my great-grandmother Lyria was mated to King Zasher. Well, that’s enough of a history lesson. I’m just so excited about returning to my pack, reconnecting with everyone, and being there full-time. There are some new tr
“Trust the process, Zel,” Sapphire says again, her voice like a steady anchor. “Regardless of anything else, I will support you and be there with you through it all.”I nod, taking a deep breath. I know she’s right. I have to trust the process. I have to let go of the past and move forward, even if
Bright and early the next morning, we all gather for breakfast. The air is crisp and fresh, the sun just beginning to peek over the horizon. There's an energy in the air that feels both new and comforting, like the start of something big. Timmon and Tara are preparing for their trip, getting ready t
As they meet under the arch, the pack elder steps forward to begin the blessing. His voice is deep, carrying a weight that settles over us like a comforting blanket. He speaks of the moon goddess, of loyalty, and of the bond that runs deeper than any ordinary love. He tells of the strength it takes
Aunt Alice carefully unzips the garment bag, and as she lifts the gown, it shimmers in the soft light, capturing everyone’s gaze. The dress is a warm, solid gold lace, intricate and delicate, each pattern sewn with the kind of care and skill that has kept it intact through six generations. The lace
