EloraI must have fallen asleep on the plane sometime during the flight. I was running through a forest. It was dark... really dark. Much darker than usual, even my natural werewolf abilities to see at night were diminished."Mom.... Help me!" I could hear her crying out for me, making me want to run faster and faster. But the harder I tried, the harder it got for my legs to move. They felt heavy, almost as if trying to run underwater. "Abbie! I'm coming," I yelled from the top of my lungs, but it was as if I had become mute. I tried telling again, but my voice came out low... almost in a whisper. "Abbie, I'm coming. Where are you?" "Aaaaahhhh... Help me. Matisa is here. She's here, Mom," my daughter's voice was pained. I could hear the agony in her voice, making me break into tears as I fought through my incompetence to move faster."ABBIE!" I yelled once more, right before my foot slipped and made me fall, but I was able to put my hands forward, making me land on my knees.Then
Armand"I don't like this, Armand. Can't you talk to Hunter first? Maybe he can help us. This has to do with his mate. He has the right to know. Plus, confronting Taylor on your own doesn't sound like the best idea." Jen says as I sit with her at the dinner table, sipping a warm coffee. I had to wait until our daughter Chloe was sound asleep to sneak out and talk to Taylor. I didn't want my little girl to worry about me. She can sense when something is wrong, and lately, she is very uneasy."Sweetheart, we talked about this. Please... I need to know where Matisa is. We might not have that much time. You and I know what she is capable of. We can't let her go after Abbie. Abbie is not trained. She won't know what to do when she's against her while using her magic powers. I already hurt Abigail far too much. I need to do what's right and find where Matisa is hiding. If someone needs to finish her off, it has to be me." But I can't help but wonder if Jen is right. Hunter is powerful. H
Hunter's POVI sat in the middle of a private room inside the King's castle. My eyes bulged as I looked into space. I was dazed. My mind could not wrap around everything that had just been discussed here. How... how am I going to break all this information to Abbie? If she finds out I know the truth about her and didn't tell her... she's going to kill me."Nothing about what we talked about today can leave this room. Are we understood?" the king warns us, making me raise a brow, still feeling dumbfounded. My baby... my Abbie... my cardigan girl... the daughter of the notorious Alpha, Elora. So, done smack me or pinch me, I think I'm dreaming. Holy shits man... my girl is actually more powerful than I thought. I mean, don't get me wrong, my sassy diva is one strong woman. I never doubted that, but she's actually a hybrid.... A fucking hybrid! No wonder she was able to make Titus submit to her even before we marked her. I sighed... blinking to make myself come back from my trance, a
Abbie's POVThe moment I walked away from Armand, I knew it was just a matter of time before discovering the absolute truth. I hid while ensuring Anthony was cared for somewhere else to keep him safe, and I followed Armand without anyone knowing. I saw how he argued with Jen and Tara. I hid while hearing how he stormed toward Taylor's room. But my biggest disappointment was when I peaked a little and saw the way he argued with a so-called friend of mine. I can't tell you how turmoiled I felt at the moment. I wanted to rip her apart but couldn't blow my cover. It was enough trouble trying to get in there unnoticed and hiding my scent. But if it weren't for me, Merida would have forced herself out and done it on my behalf. I knew better, though; we cannot be too hasty. Armand is a piece of work, but I get why he did it now. He had the hots for this chick. I mean, I don't know how old she is, but she looks young. Which I don't get, so I'm still confused. If she could do magic, it sim

I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear as I saw the new L-shaped sofa in our living room space. It was so cool. Hunter had a bright smile on his face, looking so proud. I couldn't help but admire my big, crazy lug! He's such a nut-case, but I love him. I freaking love him. Once we had the place set up, Hunter helped me clean up quickly. We sat up the cookies and brought out more snacks and drinks. Hunter ordered pizza and Chinese takeout, and of course, nachos with slovthe works for him, meaning me, because I love stealing his food,
HunterI woke up somewhere around four in the morning with a beautiful sleeping Abbie next to me. Her body was still naked, making me sigh as I admired the view. Fuck, I am so in love with this woman.As feisty and stubborn as she is, she rocks my world, making me want to become a better man. But a pang in my heart is turmoiled. If this... Matisa woman tries to hurt Abbie... I don't know what I'm going to do. I've never fought against any witch. I do know that they are tricksters and will do anything to play shady when at war. We can only use our abilities to shift onto our wolf and use our strength and training, but they can use their magic, spells, and whatever shift they have been bestowed upon. From what I have learned, most have chosen to shift onto a bird-like creature, but some have decided to shift onto a different animal, like a wolf, which is far smaller than our wolves but relatively strong. Some can turn into Lycans, which, again, are fairly smaller and less strong, but
Abbie's POVI must have woken up somewhere around 6 am. Hunter was long gone, making me grunt as I found myself alone, still naked, and still wanting him. I know it's terrible, right? But damn, did I wake up wanting to have that man between my legs deep inside, if you know what I mean.But- I wasn't about to play with myself. So, I decided to get up and shower. After my shower, I dressed in jeans, a white button-up, and white sneakers. I dried my hair and placed light makeup on it. I went downstairs to wake Anthony but was surprised to see him already up. He was sitting on the new sofa, watching cartoons and eating cereal. "Hi, buddy. You're up earlier. What's up? You know it's Friday? There's no school today; I figured you were still sleeping." I said, not surprised that he was up early. He's an early bird, just like Hunter. Our school had a student-free day today because today was officially King Arturo's birthday. So all of our schools were closed. Tomorrow, the ones invited wil
Matisa's POVI threw a vase at the wall, making it shatter into pieces and causing Santiago to groan. He closed his eyes as he lifted his boxers, covering his member. Fuck, if I'm being honest, there's never been a man who could satisfy me as much as him. Taylor is a good fuck, but he can't compare to Santiago. No one ever has. He's a savage. He's rough, just how I like it.Taylor gasped as he saw his mother's vase shatter into pieces. "Mati? That was my mother's!" "Who gives a shit! It's worthless... Whoever sold it to her, saying it was from the Jin Dynasty, lied to her. It's nothing but a damn fake. As a damn alpha, you should at least have a basic knowledge of history. You're a fucking disgrace for not noticing it." I grunted, grabbing yet another vase and making him gasp as I lifted it over my head and tried to slam it on the floor. "No. Not that one!" he says, taking it from my hands. I was covered in nothing but a silk robe, my body exposed. I have always been comfortable wal
Abbie's POV (five years later)I walked with Hunter by my side, slowly making my way toward the stairs. Hunter held our son Mateo's hand. Anthony walked next to Mateo, holding his other hand as they smiled from ear to ear. Today was my baby girl Autumn's first birthday, and as the heir to Elena's throne after me, our pack, Elora, and Elena's kingdom would give her a grand party. We had an enormous celebration the year Mateo was born, as he was next in line for Elora's pack as the first male alpha. As for Anthony- we officially adopted him the same year Mateo was born. Though many were against the idea, being he's not blood-related to Hunter, he is still related to me, and going against the next queen was futile, so, after a small debate, all the elders in our pack decided on allowing him to take over as the next alpha of the Blood Moon Pack of the North. He has three more years to go before he takes over, so Hunter has been training him daily. Sadly, he's not the tiny boy we once
Abbie's POV It's been two months since we defeated Matisa—two months too long since we've been looking for the real Analise. Today, we finally found her.It wasn't easy finding her and bringing her home would certainly not be easy. Where we found her, she had made a whole new life. She was married and had two kids, one born and one growing inside her. We stood at the top of the hill, looking down at a strawberry field. Analise strolled through the field looking beautifully, with long blonde hair and a beautiful yellow sundress, the fabric tinted with tiny white daisies on the fabric, giving it that sweet spring feel. She happily picked strawberries and placed them into a basket, playing with a little girl who picked up a strawberry and bit it, making Analise chuckle. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. But my heart also ached for the elderly lady standing beside me. Hunter stood on my other side, his hand wrapped around Anthony's shoulders, who was happy we found his aunt."How di
(One month later)Abbie's POVAs the days went by, things began to return to normal slowly. I finished my classes and received my certificate credentials to become a certified teacher. There was also a great debate between Elena, my mom, Elora, and me over taking over the kingdom. Elora wanted me to take over her pack, Elens wanted me to take over the crown, and I- wanted to stay in my pack. So, we came up with a plan. Elora needed a replacement. So, if I ever had a daughter, we would train her to become the next alpha. But if I gave birth to a boy, she'd have to give him the pack when he's ready to take over as alpha. Which- she agreed. As for the throne, Elena has been the queen for hundreds of years, and a few more years won't hurt. So, she agreed that when Anthony is old enough to take over as Alpha of Hinter's pack, I will take the crown and serve my kingdom along Hunter's side. For now, I will stay here- in my pack, where I belong. The Blood Moon Pack of the North has alway
Abbie's POV "Sweetheart... it's okay. It's okay. You did really good today, Abbie. I know this is hard, but this is the way things had to end. There was no other way. She would have continued to kill innocent girls if we hadn't ended things this way. I'm so proud of you," Elora says as she kneels beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. I sniffled, shutting my eyes, and leaned into Hunter's chest. My hot tears continued to roll down uncontrollably. I felt Hunter's warm thumbs gently wipe my tears. He kissed my head and rested his chin where he had left his kiss. Despite the sorrowful agony inside, his embrace made me feel a little comfort as our spark ignited inside me. "I know. I just... I can't help but feel so guilty. I know Matisa was a sadistic, evil witch. She deserved what was coming to her. But I truly wished none of these witches had followed her blindly. So many of them died for her sake. And then there's Analise. I wish she were alive. We could have been good friends
Hunter's POVThe battle was getting out of hand. Time and time again, we were being attacked by warlocks who would shapeshift into different creatures. They were stronger than I had anticipated, but I managed to tell the difference between Warlock and Santiago. Just as I thought we were done for, Santiago shifted back to a minotaur again, charging toward me. "Hunter, watch out!" Alarick yells, holding his hand out. "Not today, asshole!" I hear Axel suddenly come into view. He charges behind the minotaur, jumping into the air, grabbing the monster by the horns, and pulling him down. I shift onto Titus and launch toward them, snapping my snout; I grip the minotaur's neck and bite down hard. I could feel the canines pierce its skin, giving it a guttering growl. Axel finishes him off, hitting him on the back of his neck, making me snap the whole head off of him. The head falls to the ground, making it roll away. "That's what you get for laying your filthy hands on my son, asshole!" I
Abbie's POVMatisa looked my way menacingly and fisted her hands. "You just don't know when to give up, do you? Don't say I didn't warn you to stay away, you stupid bitch. I'll make you pay for coming here and trying to sabotage my plans. That throne should have been mine. Our grandmother was stupid to have married that mutt. But rest assured, the throne will be mine, and not you or anyone will stand in my way!" Matisa says as she looks at me with rage. The aura exuding from her hands intensifies, and she smirks at me as if she had already triumphed over me. I can hear something slowly crawl behind me and see the vines creeping up behind me. She was using her herbal spell, making a vine creep up behind me in an attempt to strangle me, but unfortunately for her. I had a counterspell to get rid of her vine. She yells, and the vine quickly dashes toward me, but I move, lifting my hand toward one of her top witches. Using telekinesis, I pull the witch toward me, causing the vine to pi
Abbie's POV"We're close. I see it. They're right ahead!" Kaiden yells through our mind link as we continue to run. I looked up, and I could see the war unfolding. But my eyes widen as I hear Elora yelling, and a giant bird-like creature flies high up, holding Anthony in his claws, making my eyes widen in horror. "Hunter!" I yell, making him look up. I shift onto Merida, and Titus comes out, running at full speed. "Hurry, when I strike, you need to catch him, ok?" Titus says as my nerves go wild. Merida nods and runs at full speed. I see Matisa. She's strangled Elora with one hand using her magic, and she's holding Elena in the other hand. Elena's aura is weak; I can see it, which means she was probably poisoned. But my main concern is Anthony right now. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Auntie. "Don't worry, you go get Anthony. I will take care of this bitch." Emily says as she shifts onto her white wolf. My eyes widen as I see her. "She... she looks just like me. I thought... I was
Elora's POVWe ran through the dense forest until we finally reached where Matisa and her clan hid. I have gathered that Matisa came to a neighboring Pack near Hunter's pack just a few months after Abbie disappeared.She disguised herself as the Luna of their pack after she killed the real Luna. That's when all the kidnappings began to rise in numbers again. She didn't find an end to her insatiable desire to eat souls. And given her hatred toward our kind, she relished the thought of eating their souls. It was like killing two birds with one stone. She was filling her darkness and killing our kind as well. Santiago played a great part in all this. She had made a pact with different alphas for years, promising them power and sleeping with them. They fell deeply into her trap, and she ensured they were cast under her love spell. Whatever she commanded of them- they did. And that included kidnapping girls from all over. But when most of the alphas were taken down, thanks to Hunter an
AbbieI know we were on a tight, very tight schedule here. But I had to stop and tell Hunter the truth. The real plan that Elora, Elena, and I had worked out. He was pretty mad at first. We had acted so well that he and everyone believed it, too. But now that he knew, it all made sense to him. “If you ever keep me from something like this, I’ll make sure to punish you for it, Abigail. Which means after this, you’ll be punished, you understand? Punished!” he says as we walk out of the storage, all geared up with weapons and armed to the brink. “I know. Again, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to keep you out; it was Elora’s idea for us to sell it,” I said, making him angrier. He throws his belt filled with extra bullets in the back of the SUV with a loud thud, making me look at him with regret. “Elora? Elora? I'm your husband, Abbie! I mean… I will be… am… whatever! Just…don't keep things like this from me, ok? I love you, Abbie. I don't want to see you and my family hurt.” he says, wrapping
