Alpha Joe's POVHe let out a sigh, his voice heavy with worry. "My thoughts are consumed by Lilith, my prince. I can't help but wonder where she is right now and how she's managing all alone." He closed his eyes briefly and then opened them, his concern evident. "I just pray that nothing bad has befallen her.""Nothing will happen to her!" I asserted firmly, refusing to entertain fear. Fear only brought torment. As we approached the dense vegetation of the forest, I glanced at Adrian."I believe it's best if we transform into wolves," I suggested. "It will enhance our vision, especially in this dim light. It will also improve our agility and provide added protection against any potential threats out there.""That's a good idea, my prince," he replied. We ventured into the bush and, after removing our clothes, placed them in our bags before transforming. I observed Adrian's wolf form; he was strikingly beautiful, a stark white coat, much like mine. His vibrant blue eyes radiated in the
Alpha Joe's POVI examined him closely, his big blue eyes locked onto mine. The moment had come to reveal the truth. I had been the one to make a promise, and it was time to fulfill it, even though I felt a sense of apprehension, fearing the potential disastrous outcome."May I share a story with you?" I inquired.He nodded, "But how does this story relate to what you wanted to tell me?" He looked puzzled, his gaze drifting into the distance. "Or was it the story you intended to share all along?" He asked, seeking clarity."The story will indeed clarify what I wanted to convey," I said, my gaze unwavering as I continued, "I'll share the story and then express my intended message.""Okay, that works," he replied."There was a man who got drunk at a bar one night and had a one-night stand with a woman," I began, my eyes fixed on a distant point as I recounted the tale, "It turned out that this woman was a virgin, untouched by any man before."I glanced at him, noticing his rapt attentio
Alpha Joe's POVHis eyes widened in shock as he looked dumbfounded. "That was you? You were the man in that...""Yes, I was, Adrian," I interjected, cutting him short."Where is the girl now?" He paused for a moment, then realization dawned on him. "Wait! The girl you were referring to is...""She's Lilith," I confirmed, and he stood abruptly from where he sat, completely taken aback."No! No, this can't be!" He looked at me with a disdainful look. "Lilith slept with you and is now carrying your children?"I was mortified. I knew he wasn't going to react well to everything that had happened between myself and Lilith."I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, Adrian. I am deeply sorry," I pleaded."Lilith is my girlfriend. I can't let anyone take her away from me," he said, fury evident in his voice."Even if she is someone else's mate?" I raised my eyebrows.He kept silent, but it was obvious he was still fuming. He walked away, his destination unknown to me. I decided to leave him alone,
Alpha Joe's POVWe continued our search, following the direction the kind stranger had pointed us towards. It led us to another pack's territory. As we ventured further, we encountered a group of werewolves who stood guard along the path leading to their town."We come in peace; we have no intention of fighting," I spoke out, even as they braced themselves for a confrontation.They exchanged glances amongst themselves before returning their attention to us."Who are you, and what brings you to our territory? You are currently in the land of the Varidian Pack," one of them inquired. He was an imposing figure, with a rugged beard and bulging muscles, and among the five, he appeared the most formidable.I've encountered men like him before; they often rely on their words and intimidating appearance, but their actual strength rarely matches their physique. A single punch could easily bring him down. However, I couldn't judge this one too quickly, as I hadn't seen him in combat yet, and he
Alpha Joe's POVI went outside to escort Miriam in personally. I didn't want her to accidentally reveal secrets my father knew nothing about. I had deliberately kept certain details, like Lilith's pregnancy, from him because I wasn't confident he would keep such sensitive information to himself.After briefing Miriam on what to discuss and avoid, I brought her inside."Here she is, Father," I announced, and the king managed a forced smile."Your Majesty," she bowed curtly. After raising her face, she first looked at the king and then at me."I hear I am here for a very important discussion," she said calmly."Yes, Luna Miriam, forgive me for summoning you so suddenly. I requested your presence because I need your guidance on an important matter," I explained. She tilted her head slightly toward me, her gaze focused on me as I continued, "It concerns my true mate, the one you mentioned previously.""Oh, Lilith, I assume you want to know her whereabouts," she replied."Certainly. If you
Lilith's POVMy journey alongside Sam has been incredibly smooth. He took it upon himself to provide unwavering support throughout the nine months of my pregnancy, ensuring I lacked nothing. The care and affection from both Sam and his father, Richard, were unparalleled.Sam treated me like a sister, while Richard cherished me as if I were his own daughter. They became the family I had always yearned for. Even Clara, Sam's sister, started to embrace me. Love and care surrounded me at every turn."Lilith, how are you feeling today?" Richard inquired, pulling me from my reverie. I responded with a smile."I'm doing well, Richard, thank you for inquiring." When I initially met him, I used to refer to him as "Sir," but he insisted on being called Richard."Have you seen Sam this morning?" he asked, placing his hands on his hips."Yes, he mentioned he went out to hunt and won't be gone for long," I answered."That boy! I needed his assistance with something, and he didn't even inform me be
Lilith's POV "He chuckled, comprehending my intention since I'd expressed it multiple times before. "First, I'm already committed to someone you're familiar with. Second, Dad is far too mature to be your partner," he quipped with a touch of sarcasm. "Oh, come on, I don't mind. Age is merely a number, and he still appears as youthful as you," I playfully teased. "True, because wolves rarely show signs of aging, and when they do, it's like aging like a fine wine," he grimaced. Giving me a gentle nudge on the shoulder, he suggested, "Since you've got some free time, and the little ones are sound asleep, how about we take a stroll in the woods?" I instantly felt a surge of excitement at the prospect. I had spent what felt like an eternity cooped up inside this house without venturing beyond the front porch. "That's actually a great idea, although you could have just admitted you wanted some company while hunting," we both chuckled, as my hunch was spot on. "Dad?" Sam called out. I
Lilith's POV The Prince and I began spending more time together, often arranging our meetings in the woods. We even went hunting together once, which turned out to be a fantastic experience. He was becoming more open with me, sharing aspects of his life that I hadn't known before. One day, he expressed a desire to meet my children. That posed a challenge for me. I had already informed him about my four children, and by now, they were four months old. They had grown into adorable little beings, showing signs of wisdom and strength. Their bubbliness was infectious. Ultimately, I agreed to let him visit our house and finally meet them. On the day Prince Leo was to visit, Sam, his friend, went to accompany him to our house since he hadn't been there before and needed directions to find it accurately. Their friendship continued to grow stronger. At times, I couldn't help but feel like Sam and Prince Leo were scheming something together. Sam would orchestrate secret garden picnics all o
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
