“You don’t know what you are talking about.” I said and then blocked Emil. I really don’t want to deal with his craziness today. I know everyone thinks that I was wrong, and no one gives me the credit for the things I contributed to the pack. I was the one working with the warriors, keeping our pac
I get up and go do what my dad says. He is right; it is about time that I start looking and acting like the alpha I was born to be. I know that many of my pack members lost respect at the way I handled things with Zell. The mated ones really have an issue with me having sex with another she-wolf and
“Well Alpha, that was interesting.” My beta said as he walked into the office and closed the door. “Now that everyone who needs to be here is present, we can get started.” My dad said. “Well, son, we have a real clusterfuck here. What the hell were you thinking?” “Son, did you forget what you prom
"Are you serious right now?” My father asked, wiping his eyes. “Della, I’m serious. This idiot really is your son. Either he is that stupid or what the beta said was true and he was looking for a reason to get rid of Zell we could have saved him all this trouble if he had just told us that he was no
“So, son,” my mom said, “Now you understand why none of us believe your story. There was nothing for Zell to gain from any of this, but you on the other hand gained a lot from Zell and yes, it does look like you were just trying to find a reason to get rid of her after she saved our pack from financ
“Up Up buttercup.” Tara yelled, “Since you felt the need to do nothing but wallow for the last few weeks, how about we run until I say stop? You need to get the kinks out.’ I sigh and look at my family to rescue me. “No need to look at them. No one can save you. You are mine for the next couple of
The more I ran, the more I realized that I made it easy for Khalis to manipulate me and Kosta to use me. I was so socially immature and lived with my head in the clouds and books. I was a prodigy and considered a genius. I did not know how to relate to others when I was a pup, but like other wolves,
I’m not sure how long we have been running, but it gave me time and space to put some things in perspective. Khalis has a lot to answer for and me mopping around is not getting me any closer to making her pay for the years of betrayal. I can either keep beating myself up out being blind or I can get
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
