Thank you for reading. I won't be writing separate books for Reece and Zane's story. I'll add them to this book at the end since they are just short stories. Rex and Gianna's story is coming to an end soon.
Rex. I was busy conversing with the Alpha of the Western pack when a scent suddenly appealed to me. It wasn't as mouth-watering as Gianna's floral scent that reminds me of spring but it did intrigue me. I turned to find the source of the scent and froze when I saw someone who looks like Gianna standing a few meters in front of me. Our eyes locked and I felt a pull as a mate bond clicked into place, albeit faint. I’m so shocked that for a moment, I forget Titan’s desire for a mate. Before I can stop myself, the dreadful word leaves me and I hate myself for it. “Mate?” It wasn’t a growl of claim or anything of that sort. I just wanted to know if this was really happening or if someone was playing games with me. A gasp breaks the spell that was almost digging its claws into me and my stomach churns when I see a flash of silver disappear at the entrance of the hall. Panic fills me when I realise Gianna had witnessed this scene. But just as I make to run after her, Dad blocks
Unknown pov. I’ve always been more powerful than other Alphas. I didn’t know why until I found out who my mother really is. She’s a Lycan and the former Alpha Queen. She gave her title up to stay with my father who turned out to be her fated mate. A foolish move if you would ask me. I didn’t get why she would give up her position because of love. Being at the top... having immense power. There's nothing that can compare to that. She was the rightful Queen so if she decided to be with her fated mate, no one would blame her. The only reason she handed over the title to that imposter is because of Rex. She may have produced me out of love, but she still loved that fucker. So to secure his place on the throne, she left her pack and came here to become a mere Luna for a small, pathetic pack. Her other son will become the Alpha King but the title should have been mine in the first place. If my mother chased that man out and brought her mate in, it would have been me in Rex’s place.
Gianna. “I’m helping Valentina since I didn’t have anything to do,” I reply, revelling in the feel of his arms wrapped around me. The way his chest covers my small frame makes me feel safe... “What if I tell you I have other plans for us? Would you be interested?” He leans forward and begins to place soft kisses in the crook of my neck. Electric currents sizzle through me, making me shudder. “I’m always up for a special treat from you, my love,” my words come out in a breathless whisper. He bites and tugs at my earlobe and I blush when a low moan escapes my lips. He takes my hands out of the bowl where I was washing some tomatoes at the sink. Grabbing a hand towel, he helps to dry my hands and holds my left hand before entwining our fingers. “Valentina, I’m getting my mate back. You don’t have to include us for today’s lunch,” Rex says and Valentina chuckles. “Have fun, Alpha.” She was busy cutting the steak on the counter and marinating it before she begins to cook.
Gianna. I know Rex is mine now. But I can’t stop the jealousy that ripples through me when another woman throws herself into his arms. I feel like someone is stabbing my heart so I make to run away like I always do but I stop myself. No. I shouldn’t be the one running. I’m the Luna of the Central pack. The future Alpha Queen. No woman should intimidate me just because she’s drop-dead gorgeous. “Quinn, what the fuck do you think you’re doing?!” My stomach knots when I hear Rex say those words but I let out a relieved sigh seeing that he pushed her away like she’s a disease. I can’t believe she’s back. Is she trying to get him back? My heart sinks to the pits of my stomach at the thought and fierce anger surges within me. Rex is mine. Lily, Alpha King Charles and Grandma Ruby are seated in the sitting area. It seems like they were talking to Quinn earlier. “R-Rex, please hear me out. I know I left but I wasn’t happy. My mate abused me,” Quinn tries to explain and to my ho
Gianna. “Talk to him, my dear,” Grandma Ruby says while holding my hand. “If there’s anyone who can get through to him, it’s you.” She was referring to Rex. His mother has been calling for the past week and Rex has been refusing to speak to her. This was when I saw how stubborn Rex can be. I sigh, squeezing Grandma Ruby’s hand. “I have tried to talk to him but he refused. He even got angry.” My heart clenches when I remember how he got pissed off when I told him to speak to his mother. I knew our love wouldn’t always be rosy but I still felt bad when he got angry. He later apologised with a box of chocolate and asked me not to talk about his mother again. She was dead to him. His words, not mine. “Gia, if he’s still being stubborn then you haven’t tried hard enough. He’s your man. Put him in line. His mother was wrong but she wants to speak to him and apologise.” I chuckle awkwardly. “Honestly, I don’t know how I can get through to him if even his father failed. And he loves
Rex. “I invited Mom over, Dad. Do you mind?” I ask him while he sips on his bourbon. He then glances at me and smiles. “I’m actually looking forward to seeing her, son. I missed her.” There’s a sad look in his eyes that I’ve always noticed and tried my best to ignore for many years. But it still tugs at something in my chest. “Why did you never find someone else or look for your mate? Is it because of me?” I can't help but ask. Dad had always been a good King and father. But he was lonely. He never forgot about Mom and sometimes, he often stayed up late just looking out the window and staring at the moon as if that would have brought her back. He shakes his dead, inhales sharply and looks around as if he’s admiring the place. "It's not because of you, Son. No one could compare to your mother..." He trails, raising his head and looking up at the dark sky. Tonight is the night he will finally hand over the Alpha King title to me. We didn’t want to do something big since w
Rex. "Gianna!" I felt like my heart had been dipped in molten lava as Gianna clutched her bleeding neck, choking on her blood as it trickled down her dainty hand. The world stopped spinning as fear like no other engulfed my soul. Everything happened so fast. I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. Fuck! I had let my guard down. Thinking she was safe as long as she was with me. I thought I could protect her. But I had underestimated the enemy. My heart drops to my feet as Gianna leans over, about to fall and I move swiftly, catching her before she hits the ground. The knots in my stomach twist violently, my heartbeat accelerating a million times a second. I can feel the pain she's feeling but that's all that we can share through our bond. I wish I can get the wound on her neck and place it on mine. I wish it was my throat that was slit... not hers. Goddess, please... save her. Her body jerks and she coughs up blood, causing the knot in my stomach to tighten. Why is she not h
Gianna. I felt like I was having a nightmare. One minute I was looking into my Alpha’s eyes, waiting for him to claim me all over again and the next minute, I felt a sharp pain on my throat. That’s how all hell broke loose. I realised why I had always been wary of Hunter. There was this dark vibe around him that I wasn't comfortable with. My gut told me there was something up with him and he proved me right. If only I had told Rex about my suspicions. This wouldn't have happened and we would have been more careful. But I couldn't accuse him of anything without proof so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I seem to be getting weaker as everything around me starts to fade. Rex’s voice becomes distant as I’m slowly plunged into darkness. I’m drawn into a dark abyss and I free fall for what feels like an eternity but is only a few seconds before I find myself in a large clearing in a forest. There are trees everywhere save for the area where I'm standing. My eyebrows knit as I l
