Do you like how this all played out? Did you trust Finley to do the right thing? If you want to read the story from Elias or Finley's perspective you can read my other story. and if you are looking at something completely different I have another story out called Alpha Osiris. thank you for reading my story
Amber’s pov We waited in Beatrix’s house, trusting Elias was doing his best to stop a fight from happening between us. Zoey and Matt were getting restless and Axel was getting his strength back and sitting up right. I felt guilty for assuming Finley was betraying me so easily. It didn’t take long for me to go back to mistrusting her, even after she had saved me from Alpha Ivar. It had been too hard for me to think about forgiving Finley for hurting Elias. “But hasn’t she done enough to prove she has changed? Finley saved you and now she saved Axel, without any regards for her own life. Do you really want to stand in the way of Elias being with his mate?” Ripley asked me. “You are thinking about Finley and Elias aren’t you?” Axel mindlinked me. “How could the Moon Goddess choose someone who had hurt him so deeply?” I replied. Axel told me what had happened in the house, how angry and hurt Finley was by her grandmother. “You don’t understand Amber, I don’t think she had much of a c
Axel’s pov I woke up and checked the time, crap the trial had already started! I must have been tired from being injured, plus this morning didn’t help. Although I wouldn’t take it back for the world. Being with Amber was always worth it. I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth. Luckily the courthouse was next to the hotel we were staying at. I mindlinked Amber while I was getting ready, “did I miss everything?” She summarized the morning for me, “Alpha Ivar blamed Finley for everything, saying he was under her spell. People were gasping when they heard she was a witch. He even knew about her trying to kill Elias. Then I testified and told them everything that happened that day. And that I had forgiven Finley after she had saved yours and my live.” I interrupted,“you forgive her?” Amber laughed, “is that so hard to believe? I am not forgetting what happened, but I need to forgive her for Finley and Elias to be able to move forward. I want to be a part of their lives, if Finley
Amber’s pov The End It’s has been five years now, since Axel was kidnapped by Beatrix. There have been some minor setbacks, but we’ve mostly been able to come to an agreement with the witches. Some of the witches of Willa’s coven have even helped us throughout the years, by protecting our borders and offering healing salve for our member’s who aren’t eighteen yet. I love how Axel has kept his principles through all this, even though he was met with so much resistance from the werewolves in the beginning. It’s hard changing people’s mind, when they are so used to their prejudices. But Axel had done it before, by changing his pack to be more inclusive. Hunter is almost six years now and he is such a fun kid. Very outgoing and loves to be outside. He loves to play with his sister and baby brother. Yeah, you can say Axel and I have been busy. Our four year old Charlotte is really smart and loves to chase her brother around the room. Our baby is just three months old now, we named him De
Amber’s point of viewHe looks so much like his dad, I thought to herself while watching Elias play. People often stared at her son, because he didn’t resemble her boyfriend Brian. When they moved to the Crimson Moon pack, only a handful of people knew who Elias' real dad was. Alpha Drake was a fair Alpha, one of a few words but he always made the right choices. His pack respected him more than they feared him. Alpha Drake was the one who told me to keep the identity of Elias’s father to ourselves. I still noticed some pack members wonder about how Elias got his looks. How could they not, Elias had my curls and caramel skin. But his eyes were bright blue and his hair wasn’t raven like mine, but almost gold. Brian was short and very average build, with brown eyes and a mousy grayish hair color. While Elias was already the tallest in class at 5 years old. Our life was okay, we had a house and I worked as an omega at the Alpha’s mansion. Elias was in school and so happy learning and t
Amber's pov Working for Alpha Drake wasn’t that bad, he allowed me to start late so I could have breakfast with Elias and leave early so we could have dinner together. I only stayed longer when he had guests. I had most weekends off and I could take leftovers home. Saturday mornings I trained with some other working moms, Elias often joined me and sparred with some of their kids. He was strong and could fend off kids twice his age, but I’d rather he stay a kid a bit longer. Brian was usually sleeping off a bender in the mornings, but would join us for lunch most of the time. He wasn’t a great father, he was often gone for days at a time or he would smell of women and alcohol. But when he was sober and had a good day he would play ball with Elias or help me in the garden. I knew he tried and I saw how much Elias loved him. Every so often I would see Brian stare at his own reflection and look at the mark Susan has left. It was one of the only things he had left of her, the mark and t
Flashback: Axel and I have had the best summer and I knew I shouldn’t, but I started to think about a future together. I knew his family would never accept me as his Luna so we had been secretly meeting all summer. After school we would meet at the lake and picnic on a field overlooking wildflowers. We would talk for hours, well we wouldn’t just talk. But who could blame me, have you seen Axel, he looks like a model. He’s build like a statue, with bright blue eyes and when the sun hits his hair it looks like every strand is made of gold. We would kiss until it was time to go home, but after a while that was not enough and he would sneak into my bedroom window at night. My parents didn’t notice, they hardly paid attention to me anyway. My bedroom was all the way at the back of the house near the forest, so it was easy to sneak in undetected. Being with Axel was lovely, even though we knew it couldn’t last. Mates were chosen by the Moon Goddess and they would complement each other. I
Amber's pov "Did you hear me Amber? Alpha Axel Wensworth is the one who will be visiting us this weekend." I had heard Alpha Drake, but his words hit me like ton of bricks. Axel, someone I thought I would never see again, was visiting my pack. I was trying to push back the memories and the feelings of heartbreak that followed. I tried to contact Axel after I had found out about my pregnancy. We had been careful, using condoms every time. But during our last time, there was a tear in the condom. I was planning on getting the morning after pill, but the pack's gossip was in line behind me in the pharmacy. The next day Axel started to ignore me. I was so heartbroken that I didn’t even think of the condom until I started feeling nauseas. Abortion isn’t uncommon in the werewolf community, but in Alpha’s Alistair’s pack women didn’t have much choice and abortion was forbidden. I don’t know if it would have mattered if I had the choice, I knew what it felt like to be unwanted and Elias w
Amber's pov I felt numb the rest of the day, until I saw Elias playing in the garden with Thomas, Casandra's mate. The first time I met him I wasn’t sure how I felt about him, he was scary looking and build like a linebacker. But once I saw him with Cassandra and the kids I knew it was all bark and no bite. He was one of the kindest souls I ever met and would go to any length to keep his loved ones safe. I was so lucky he counted Elias as one of his bonus grandkids. Looking at my boy with a loving father figure nearly broke me, I tried to keep the dam from breaking before anyone would see. Unfortunately Casandra had already noticed something was off and quickly took me inside. "Tell me what’s going on, you can’t go to Elias looking like this. You need to calm down, tell me please so I can help you," Cassandra said. It wouldn’t hurt to tell her now, I thought to myself. It might come out anyway if I’m not careful. The more help I can get to hide Elias away the better. I told Casand

Axel’s pov I woke up tied up next to Omar in a small house. An older woman was standing in front of us. She wasn’t looking at us, but at someone else who had entered the house. I couldn’t turn my head enough to look at her, my whole body felt weak. But I recognized the voice from somewhere. “Jade you came back” the old lady said. “My name is Finley and I am not here for you grandma. I am here to get Alpha Axel and his gamma back.” That’s why I recognized the voice, it was Finley so that meant the old woman was Beatrix. I tried to talk, but my body was to weak. Beatrix walked to Omar and grabbed the iron chains around his arms. She pulled him by the chains to the middle of the room. She was strong for an old woman. I tried to turn my head again, this time slowly and I could see Beatrix and Finley standing over Omar. Finley wasn’t dressed and had probably just shifted back. “What are you doing Grandma? Just let them go, we can talk about this.” Beatrix started to laugh, “talk about
Amber’s pov I had just arrived at the location of the courthouse and was greeted by Elias, Zoey and Finley. Finley and Elias both looked tense and like they needed a good night’s sleep. Preferably not together, because I still didn’t fully trust Finley. Her hair had grown over the last few months and she had put on some weight, but her face still showed how much she had gone through. “Hi mama, are you ready for the trial?” Elias asked me as he gave me a hug. I had mindlinked Axel on the way over and he had told me about the fires, which still had me worried. “Actually I’ve been busy stressing over your father on the drive over. He’s taking too much on. There was a fire in the forest and now he is tracking the source in the woods with Omar. He has people who can handle that, but he always wants to be hands on” I told Elias. Elias laughed, “just like you mama. It’s not like you ever sat back and let other people handle anything.” I frowned and playfully hit Elias on the arm. He was
Axel’s pov’ Amber was right, we did need to prepare for the worst. So I contacted every ally and let them know to up their security. I told them there was a group of witches that had plans to potentially hurt werewolves, but that not all of the witches were bad. That last part was tough for most Alpha’s to except. Witches had always been our enemies and even when I explained about dark and white magic, they still didn’t trust any of them. “The only witch I trust is a dead witch,” was one Alpha’s remark. I understood where they were coming from. Our ancestors had fought against witches for years, but I truly believed you couldn’t just assume every witch was evil by default. There are bad witches, bad werewolves and bad humans. But that means there must also be good witches. I believed Willa when we talked and she had done nothing to help me. I would much rather have a friend than an enemy, but I was pretty mild tempered for an Alpha. I think that’s what Amber liked about me, but it
Amber’s pov I love having Hunter around, but every time I see that little face of his I am reminded of Charlotte and I wish I could have stopped Alpha Ivar. I have killed men for less, but I understand what Elias wants to do with his court system. It’s important for him to have people be accountable and that every werewolf can see that. Since I was in the dungeon with Alpha Ivar, I can’t help Elias in the trial like we planned, I can only testify. So now I am focused on raising Hunter and Briana and being the best Luna I can be. I go to training every evening so that can get Ridley some exercise and I can practice my fighting skills. I want to be able to defend myself against anything, even though Kenzo said I already am at the top of the class. Things with Axel have been good, but I can sense and see that he is stressed out about the whole witch thing. I think he tries to do it all himself, because he doesn’t want to bother me. But last night I finally got him to share what has been
Axel’s pov Luckily both Elias and Finley accepted my proposal, Elias took Finley with him on his travels after she had fully healed. Now that I learned more about Finley’s grandmother I really needed to find that prophecy somewhere. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be in any of the books we had, but if I could find this Willa perhaps she could help me. I reached out to all my allies, letting them know if they could help me track her. I mentioned to them that she wasn’t to be harmed, they should only let Willa know if she could contact me as soon as possible. I then mindlinked Amber and asked her how Hunter was doing. He had been with us for a couple weeks now, but I couldn’t imagine life without him. What I could imagine is sleeping ten full hours with Amber by my side or even better feeling Amber on me. But sadly there was no chance of that right now, Hunter has been so clingy even at night. I think he might have gotten very little attention at the orphanage and was scared we wouldn’t
Axel’s pov I came looking for Amber and Charlotte and I ended up having a son. That’s not something you just get used to. But I think Amber and I both forgot how much work a baby is, so we barely had the time to adjust. Hunter seemed to favor me. Which was fine, but I still had my responsibilities as Alpha. Logan offered to step in for a while, but his son was the same age as Hunter. In the end we found a solution, baby-carrying seemed to work like a charm. Amber carried Hunter most of the day, while I took care of some work. I had another lead on the witches, the girl Jade, that Elias brought home, much to Amber’s dismay. Jade now wanted to be called Finley, her real name. I guess she wanted a fresh start and live truthfully, but neither Amber or I trusted her. But I needed Finley’s help, I knew nothing of witches. If she could provide me some insight, I could finally decide if the group that lived nearby was friend or foe. And once I was finished with my research, Finley could go o
