Alpha Joe's POV:

I was astounded. Did he really say it was because of a woman? Did I hear correctly? I needed to ask again to be sure.

"You said it's all because of a woman?" I quizzed.

"You heard right, Joe. This is all a woman's doing," he said through gritted teeth, clearly angry at this woman, whoever she was.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked, "What exactly happened, Nicholas?"

He took a deep breath and exhaled, "It all started a few weeks ago when a sorceress was apprehended in the midst of our pack." He looked at his father and continued, "It's an abiding law in our land that sorcerers are not welcome here, and if found, they will be burnt at the stake."

I nodded, urging him to continue. The law in their land wasn't news to me; my father had once told me about it. However, in our lands, sorcerers were welcomed as long as they didn't cause any trouble. I also learned that it was a sorceress who had revealed my mother's dubious act to my father, which prevented him from

    Alpha Joe's POVI returned to Starfalls and headed straight to the courtroom to convey the message to my father. However, he wasn't present there, so I proceeded to his chambers."Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here," his guard announced."Allow him in," my father replied. I entered, finding him on the bed, attempting to rise and sit."Welcome, my son," he greeted. I responded and moved to assist him in getting off the bed."I'm growing old," he playfully teased, placing his hand on my shoulder. I guided him to the sofa, where he settled down.Sitting across from him, I recounted everything that transpired at Silver Moon pack. After concluding, I sighed, deep in thought."You do have a way of making bold claims, my son," he eventually remarked.Arching an eyebrow, he inquired, "You actually informed them that we could assist them?""Yes, Father. I believe we can provide assistance," I responded matter-of-factly."Hmm, you're truly living up to your title already," he praised, stand

    Lilith's POV:Adrian's eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Wait, what? What did you just say?""I said he is my mate," I replied. What followed next took me by surprise. Adrian erupted into hearty laughter."I apologize," he chuckled, "there's only so far a joke can go." He teased, his eyes meeting mine again before he tried to control his laughter by placing a hand over his mouth.He didn't believe me. I believed I'd been caught. I assumed he'd readily believe my words given my previous actions and his reactions to them. Just after he'd mentioned my strange behavior and implied I was concealing something, I confessed the truth, and yet he dismissed it with laughter, tagging it as a joke?Deciding to play along, I thought luck must be on my side today. I sighed, "You got me." I raised my gaze to meet his, "Can't blame a girl for indulging in a little daydream.""Yeah, unless that daydream involves wanting to be mated to the crown prince who, I must remind you, is already mated to another,"

    Alpha Joe's POVShe let out a sigh and said, "I had a vision of Katrina by a stream. It seems that's where she disappeared to after she cursed the land." She glanced at us to ensure we were following her."She performed certain incantations and poisoned the water, so anyone who drank it would be afflicted by the plague," she added, looking down. "No one can survive without water. What better way to decimate a whole pack than by poisoning their water source?"Nicholas' eyes widened, leaving him speechless. He searched for something to lean on, as his legs could no longer support him. Eventually, he chose the floor. I observed him with pity, sitting on the ground, unsure of what to do."Why do some people get affected while others do not?" I inquired."The difference lies in their bodies' resistance. Eventually, the poison weakens the body and transforms them into the state you see in these infected individuals," she explained, gesturing towards the afflicted."Those individuals possess

    Alpha Joe's POV I trembled in fear, glancing at Nicholas who seemed even more frightened than I was. The sorceress had gone so far as to take her own life just to sow chaos among an entire kingdom of werewolves? The revelation left me utterly stunned. It's astonishing how far some people are willing to go to achieve their desires. With Luna Miriam too weak to walk, I carried her on my back while Nicholas dragged the wolf. We emerged from the water, making our way to where the carriage was waiting. Surprisingly, the weather outside was clear, devoid of rain. It had only rained around the stream where we were. This made me realize that the rainfall was no ordinary occurrence; it was brought about by Luna Miriam's incantations. "What a day it has been," I mused. I settled her into the carriage we had arrived in, while Nicholas instructed one of his guards to return the wolf to the palace. It wouldn't be riding in his carriage. Upon reaching the palace, we encountered the Alpha King.

    Lilith's POVI wanted to lie, but I couldn't bring myself to open my mouth and utter a word. Tension hung in the air. I needed to say something, but I didn't know what to say."She did this, didn't she?" Adrian, who had been staring into space, asked coldly as he turned his gaze towards me."No, she did not. I... I... fell..." I stammered."Fell into the ditch and managed to get yourself strangled by the water and your face gnawed by its invisible claws," Adrian finished sarcastically, cutting my words short.I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say. I couldn't lie; they already knew the truth. I would only be complicating matters if I decided to lie any further."When did she do this?" Joseph asked.I sighed. "It was early this morning, around 4 a.m.," I replied."What exactly was her reason for doing something as despicable as this to her own daughter?" Adrian growled. He had been struggling so hard to suppress his anger, but he couldn't hold back any longer, leading to the outburs

    Lilith's POVJoseph was in shock. Meanwhile, I was already familiar with everything happening between my mother and the man, so I greeted him casually. I thought about making introductions, but it seemed unnecessary since they already knew each other.Alpha Andrew broke the silence first, exchanging surprised glances with Joseph.He extended his hand and said, "Joseph, what brings you here?" Joseph shook his hand. "I am here on a matter of urgency. This is my son Adrian," he placed his hand on Adrian's back, guiding him a few steps forward to greet the man in front of them."Adrian, this is my old friend, Alpha Andrew," Adrian greeted the man, who responded warmly. His gaze quickly shifted back to Joseph."Where is my mother?" I questioned, staring at Andrew. He looked at me, carefully observing."Oh, she stepped out to get something, but she'll be back in a few minutes." He glanced down the road, searching for any signs of her, then looked back at me and asked curiously, "What happen

    Lilith's POVI was shocked and scared simultaneously. The idea of running to meet Joseph and Adrian crossed my mind, to tell them my mother was angry at me, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. She was giving me an intense glare."Andrew, please come back, stay close by," I silently hoped, not wanting to be alone. I stepped backward as she approached, her expression filled with anger. "I asked, what have you done?""I didn't do anything, mother," I blurted out. Her question was vague, and I was still trying to understand what she meant. She was probably referring to me bringing Joseph and Adrian to the house.But that wasn't solely my decision; Joseph had suggested it when I pleaded with him not to go to the palace. Shouldn't she be relieved that I prevented them from heading to the palace and causing chaos for her?"Mother, it wasn't my doing at all," I said frantically, my eyes fixed on her. "I went to the bar, and they saw me and interrogated me. I even lied, telling them it was

I noticed she could feel it too because she faltered in her steps."Get me another bottle of this wine," I said as she approached, causing her to turn around and head toward the counter. A few seconds later, she returned with the bottle I had requested and placed it on my table."I'm afraid we will be closing soon for the day," she said softly, with her head bowed. I nodded and dismissed her. The pull I felt towards her intensified the closer she got.Why did she smell just like Lilian? Could it be that one bottle has intoxicated me so much that I can no longer think straight, and I'm imagining things? Maybe I miss Lilian so much. I gulped down the drink, cup by cup, until I was wasted.Lilith's POVThat is definitely the crown prince! What is he doing at a place like this, trying to drown himself in alcohol?

    Lilith's POV Prince Leo came to inform me that the king had summoned us. I was in the middle of breastfeeding little Sam at the time, so he kindly told me to continue and join them in the courtroom once I was finished. Leo planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and then bent down to kiss little Sam, who was busily suckling on my right breast, before he left. He was an incredibly kind and caring man. Sometimes, I couldn't help but wonder what I had done to be blessed by the moon goddess with such a wonderful partner. I felt entirely at peace with my decision to marry him. After feeding little Sam, who was the last to be nursed since my other babies had already been breastfed, I carefully dressed and made my way to the courtroom. Leo had emphasized that the matter was of utmost urgency, leaving me curious about what it could be. As I reached the door to the courtroom, I felt an inexplicable pull, a strong force drawing me in. It compelled me to step inside. A few steps in, I turned tow

    Alpha Joe's POV As I pondered my next words, doubt and uncertainty swirled within me. Should I disclose Lilith's identity and risk potential complications with the Frostwood pack? Or should I come up with an alternative reason for our visit, giving me time to secretly reunite with Lilith? It was a difficult decision to make. In the end, I chose the latter approach. I decided to act as if I had come for a different purpose, allowing me the opportunity to spend some time in the palace and secretly plan Lilith's return with the members of my pack who had accompanied me on this journey. After much contemplation, I realized that concealing the truth could lead to a potentially devastating conflict between Starfalls pack and Frostwood pack, something I couldn't afford. The risk of war was too great. So, I made the difficult choice to speak the truth, hoping that we could resolve the situation peacefully. Inwardly, I considered the possibility that Lilith might be working within the palac

    Alpha Joe's POV I turned to him and took a deep breath. "This morning, the Stargazers visited the courtroom to deliver news to my father and me," I began. His brows furrowed, showing his heightened interest. "Lilith is no longer within the boundaries of Starfalls pack," I revealed. His mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened in shock. "Wait, I'm a bit confused. How did the Stargazers come to know this? Did they go searching for her?" he asked, his curiosity evident. His questions were understandable, and anyone would wonder the same. After all, the Stargazers were known for studying stars, so their news typically had a celestial connection. "They are Stargazers, Adrian," I replied calmly. "Their duty is to observe the stars and report significant findings to the Alpha King," I explained. "As they conducted their observations, they noticed the sudden disappearance of four stars that symbolized protection over our pack. These four stars represented Lilith's four young children."

    Alpha Joe's POV Their eyes darted between one another and then focused on me. Austria, their leader, cleared his throat before speaking, "My Prince, we have an urgent matter to discuss. While studying the stars, we observed the disappearance of four crucial stars from the sky." He exchanged glances with his colleagues before continuing, "These four stars hold immense significance for the Starfalls pack. Their absence foretells impending danger, and if they are not returned to their rightful place here within our pack, the doom of Starfalls Pack is inevitable." Austria's words left me perplexed. He had spoken in riddles, expecting me to decipher their meaning. What did these four stars symbolize? I needed a clear explanation to understand the gravity of the situation. "I apologize, Austria, but your words seem rather cryptic," I remarked, fixing my gaze on him. Austria turned to my father, who nodded in agreement. "My Prince, I believe you are aware of the situation. The woman you

    Lilith's POV I watched as an incredibly beautiful woman walked in. She stood about 5'9" tall, with silver hair and captivating ocean-blue eyes. She looked stunning, like a goddess. Is this the woman Prince Leo is married to? I was completely astonished. A quick glance at the people I had come with showed that they were equally awestruck. I composed myself as she approached Prince Leo, hugged him, and planted a kiss on his cheek. She respectfully bowed to the King and Queen before turning her attention towards me with a warm smile. I swallowed hard as she drew nearer. Her eyes remained fixed on my face, and her smile never wavered. She took my hands in hers, and the entire room's attention shifted to us, eagerly watching to see what would unfold. "I've heard so much about you from the prince, Lilith. You look absolutely stunning, far more beautiful than I could have imagined. It's truly wonderful to finally meet my co-wife," she exclaimed, pulling me into a tight embrace. My eyes wi

    Lilith's POV I glanced at everyone, and they all appeared as apprehensive as I felt, except for Prince Leo. His calm demeanor didn't surprise me; this was his home, after all, and he was about to see his father, the king, again. He probably saw him before leaving the house in the morning, so he had become accustomed to it. "Usher them in," a deep male voice resonated from within the courtroom, sending shivers down my spine. Prince Leo held my hand with his free one and whispered, "Don't be scared, my father doesn't bite," he chuckled. I took a deep breath and walked beside Prince Leo, with Sam, Robert, and Clara following closely behind us. As I gazed at the throne, I saw the king seated majestically. He commanded a substantial presence without the need to stand up. He appeared astute and imposing, in stark contrast to Leo. Yet, there was something remarkable about him, a shared trait with Leo: his kind green eyes. I surmised that Leo probably took after his mother in terms of loo

    Lilith's POV The next day arrived, and I had barely slept a wink the previous night due to my anxiety. Today, I was scheduled to meet the members of the royal family. I couldn't help but wonder about their perception of me. Would they accept me with open hearts? Or would they merely pretend to like me? I remembered the Prince mentioning yesterday that they were looking forward to meeting me. Personally, I suspected he might have played a significant role in their expectations. He probably convinced them of his fondness for me, leaving them with no choice but to go along with it and feign affection for an omega wolf they had never met before. I couldn't quite understand why, but being in the lowest rank among the werewolves always carried a certain stigma for me. This feeling was compounded by the fact that I had grown up in a home and pack where I longed for love from the people who mattered most. Life had been undeniably challenging until I met Joseph and Adrian in Starfalls Pack

    Lilith's POV He gently brushed his fingers across my face, tucking a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "You are breathtakingly beautiful, unquestionably the most radiant young lady I've ever had the pleasure of seeing," he said, a sensuous smile gracing his lips. His smile made him even more handsome, and I felt my cheeks flush at his compliment. "Let's go and share our decision with Sam and Robert," he suggested, taking my hand and leading me back toward the house. When we arrived, Sam was outside, hard at work cutting firewood. He looked sweaty and exhausted in the sunlight. Spotting us, he wiped his brow with a nearby cloth and came over. "My Prince, you're both back," Sam greeted with a playful nudge to the prince's shoulder. The prince smiled and replied, "Yes, we're back, and I have something important I need to discuss with you and your father." Sam's expression shifted to one of surprise as he briefly glanced at me, and then he looked away. I avoided making eye contact wi

    Lilith's POV The prince and I were scheduled to have a meeting later today. He had mentioned that there was something important he needed to discuss with me. He emphasized that the outcome of our conversation would decide whether he'd meet with Robert and Sam for a follow-up discussion. I had no idea what he wanted to talk about, and honestly, I didn't care. I was willing to do anything to spend some precious moments alone with him. As the time for our meeting approached, he arrived and led me to the garden, our customary meeting spot. "Lilith, there's something important I need to share with you." I listened intently, my eyes fixed on his handsome face, trying to read his somewhat solemn expression. "We've been spending time together for a while now, and I'd be dishonest if I told you the only reason was to be friends," he said, shifting his gaze to meet mine. "It's more than that, Lilith. I want us to be more than friends; I'm deeply drawn to you." My eyes widened in astonishmen
