Gabriella’s Pov

“I didn’t think I’d see you out so early.”

I raised my head to see a lady standing in front of me. Her flowing hair reminded me of someone I had seen before, but I couldn’t remember the exact place with only the smell of incense and fog clouding my mind.

“How are Daemon and Damian doing?” She asked as she moved closer to the stroller, peering inside to look at my boys with a smile on her face.

I was sitting in front of the Alpha’s house, which meant that few people had access to the place, but the lady in front of me was giving me a chill with a feeling of mystery wrapped around her like a cloak.

“Do not be alarmed. You might not remember me because I made it so,” she said as she flashed me a smile, sitting in the seat next to me. “But I remember you. The scared girl they brought to me to find out if she was a spy.”

The thought came to me almost immediately as I turned to look at her. She faced me with a smile as

she tucked a part of her hair behind her ears.

    Alfredo’s Pov It turned slowly into a thing of routine. Meeting after meeting that gave me respite to a timeout. Conan had come back with less and less information that only hinted at one thing: Melissa was dead.“Do I need to get your head out of the cloud?”I turned to see Mother standing by my side with a look on her face that told me she was worried about me.“I’m fine,” I said as I managed a nervous chuckle to pull her away from my thoughts.“What were you thinking of? It’s not like you have responsibility designated to you at the moment.” She said as she passed her arm through mine, linking us together while we walked away from the flurry of noise washing over us.It’s been more than five years and I have kept my secret between Conan and me. Was I ready to pass this information to her? I sighed as the question ran across my mind in that split second.“We haven’t given you a grandchild,” I said, to push her mind to a specific thought. She smiled as she laid her head on my shoul

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov “I really want to wrap my hands around your neck and squeeze the life out of you,” I said as I struck my hands towards him, pushing menacingly like I sought to do the exact words I had said.“But we know you wouldn’t do it,” Aiden answered with a smile on his face. Evidence it was payback on his side.I sighed as I turned away from him, placing my hands in my pocket. “What do you think she would discuss with Gabriella? I don’t think there is enough reason for her to leave her place and move here because of Gabriella. I mean, look at it; she never asked me about her for once during the time Gabriella stayed here.”“She might have her reason that she’s keeping because of something important that links to it,” Aiden answered, folding his hands across his chest before placing one under his chin.“Whatever she wants to do. It’s not like I care about it anyway,” I said as I waved my hand like I chased flies. I could tell Aiden looked at me from the side of his eyes.We

    Claire’s PovShe had stayed in the pack for less than a year, yet Alpha Farrell made it a point of his to be around her at all times. I wondered what a stranger would mean to our Alpha suddenly.I shook my head to push the thoughts from my head just as I noticed someone who looked like Elsa walking out of the Alpha’s house. She flashed me a smile, with her silky hair dancing in the wind.“Seems everyone is crazy,” I said as I stared ahead at the house. My brother, Aiden, stood at the front with the Alpha. Both looked engaged in whatever discussion that boiled between them.“You smell funny.”I looked up to see it was Elsa, the pack’s seer, without her makeup for the first time. I had never seen her outside her place before, and it was more like a shocker for me. It felt fuzzy that I could recognize her even without her makeup.“What do you mean?” I asked as I moved forward until I was shoulder-to-shoulder with her.“You just have to be careful about the decisions you make or else they

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov I stood on the balcony behind the house, watching Daemon and Damian play in the field, running around their mother.“It’s been six years already,” Ora said from inside me, watching the children through my eyes. Daemon had his mother’s blonde hair while Damian had thick dark hair that bounced along as he chased his brother.“Six years with nothing happening,” I said, leaning on the railing to continue watching.“Looks like your gamble paid off,” Ora mentioned, reminding me of the union that occurred between Silver Rose's pack and Lockhart’s pack.“Aren’t you glad it paid off? No wars, just the normal spies, trying to gain information about us. That much, we could handle to a full extent without wasting much of our manpower,” I said to mock Ora's bet.“Every year you remind me about it,” Ora answered with a growl. “But it was something dangerous to count on.”He was right concerning it being dangerous; I thought as I straightened my back, tired of bending forward as

    Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I stood on the grassy plain with both boys running around me. Happiness was now a constant in my life and the time I spent in Nightshade pack. Never had a thought to regret my stay as the boys ran, giggling with each other and tumbling to the ground. Six years had gone past without a hitch and not one sign of Alfredo. I was basically living the best of my years here, and I wanted it that way. Lyra was my constant friend during the period as Alpha Farrell had made me his assistant, boosting my ranking from an omega to a gamma. It was something. At least I wasn’t the lowest in the pack as I was in Silver Rose’s pack.I shook my head to shake the thoughts, taking my gaze back to the boys that played around me. I raised my head towards the balcony at the back of the house when I heard the voices of people, seeing a blonde hair leaving that place.“Who was there?” I asked no one in particular as I stood from the place I sat. The noise and giggles of the boys fil

    Alfredo’s Pov “Hey, Alfie.”I woke up to Sheila’s caresses on my face. She lay with her eyes closed as she called my name. I turned around to look at the time, wondering the reason she would call me by this time of the morning. “I think someone has been calling for your attention,” she said as she turned the other way, humming her way to another round of sleep. I sighed as I threw the sheets off my body, dropping both legs onto the floor. It was barely dawn with the rays of the sun having a hard time to pierce the night sky. “I’m coming,” I said as another round of knocks graced my door. I knew the only person who would dare to disturb me at the hour. A deep breath after and I was on my feet, trudging through the cold floor until I was at my door.It clicked open to my beta’s face, disgruntled from having to wake up early and also waiting for me.“You are naked,” she said with the scowl on her face deepening."“Like you’ve never seen them before.” I clicked my tongue at her. “Why

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov I sat with her until the sun lay low on the horizon. Darkness chasing away and overtaking the sky. She did not look like she wanted to leave, holding her hands over her knees, probably daydreaming. I turned my head, moving from the grassy floor where I was sitting.“It’s almost two years now, and it’s still this way?” Ora asked as I moved away from her, walking some distance away from her.“I don’t know,” I answered as I stood, watching the pink and orange blend into the dark blue of the night. It wasn’t just a feeling, but I did not see her reciprocating it and I kept it to myself. If there was anything I could do, it was to put myself in a state of ridicule. “We’ll just keep on waiting for anything,” I said as I raised my eyes to look at the stars. The moon stood on one side, holding itself against the backdrop of darkness as it embodied the reflection of the sun, while I watched it, lost in the most random of thoughts. “This regional meeting.

    Alfredo’s POV It took Mom two days before she held the meeting. A waste of time, it was in my opinion as I walked to the meeting room with my beta, Sarah, in tow.“Is alpha Brian present?” I asked as we took our time to the meeting room. Sarah had made it her duty to make sure I was never late for another meeting after my first. I was sure my mother had something to do with it.“He came a few minutes ago,” she answered as her hands scoured the phone in her hands, multitasking with the piece of paper in her hand.I knew the purpose of this meeting wasn’t just because of a regional meeting. It had all the scent of anticipation for one person: the alpha of Nightshade pack. Sarah held the door for me to walk in. A few elders sat in their positions, waiting for the rest of the elders to move in. Alpha Brian sat at the end of the table with a smile on his face as he looked towards me.“Can we get this meeting going?” I whispered to my mother, who sat in her position like she was some life

    Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment

    Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c

    Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s

    Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out

    Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this

    Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q

    Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
