I woke up early this morning. I was too anxious to sleep. Khalis and I got an early start. We are heading to see Alpha Richard. The drive takes about two hours. Our wolves could have made it in 45 minutes, but Khalis insisted on taking the car. Whatever, I just want to get there, get the information
“I almost forgot about that. Zell was always so innocent back then. She was clueless in many ways.” I said. “And you have almost ruined all the innocent love she had for us. Please, Kosta, I am begging you. Don’t make us do this. Turn the car around and let’s go back and make this up to our mate,”
“Before we get to Alpha Richard’s pack, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, Alpha Kosta, I will stand by your side. I believe in you. I think you are the most outstanding alpha in the kingdom. You should have chosen me as your mate and luna. I would have always respected you. You wo
We make it to Alpha Richard’s pack and are immediately let through. I pull the car into the designated parking space. Khalis gets out of the car first and leads us to the front of the pack house. One thing is certain, Khalis is definitely familiar with the pack. As we approach the front door, it is
“This is my story, Alpha Kosta. You reached out to me, so I’m telling it my way. If you don’t want to hear what I have to say, you can always leave.” Alpha Richard said.“If you keep dragging this out, I just might.” I huffed. I know he wants me to hear whatever he wants to tell me.“Like I was sayi
“Khalis, what are you doing? Let’s get back on the road. I want to get back to the pack as soon as possible.” Khalis didn’t say anything at first. She unfastened her seatbelt and leaned over me. “Alpha, I know you are hurt and angry. Let me take some of the pain away,” Khalis said. Before I knew
I decided to get up and eat breakfast with the pack today. It will be my last time with them. Even though some have turned against me, most are still like family. Soon after I get to my seat with my food, I observe Kosta and Khalis walking together. Khalis grabs Kosta by the arm as they walk out. I
“Zell, let me link Kosta and warn him. I can’t sit back and watch my alpha and friend throw everything away.” Beta James said. I watched in horror as Beta James’ eyes clouded over. “Zach!” I yelled. “James, I lead alpha heir. I order you not to disclose any of the information you have just receiv
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
