Alpha Farrell’s Pov

I walked outside with the kids in tow, wondering what could have caused the change in attitude. She was awfully quiet during the ride even when Frin made jokes about how he wanted to take the guard that blocked us.

“Did I do something wrong?” I asked as I led the children to the back of the house and towards the lawn for them to have fun. They ran off, chasing butterflies that danced in the sky.

The sky shone orange with the setting sun as we had returned late. A warm bath had set my body in motion as I returned inside, seeing the children run to meet me. Claire had a smile on her face with her little curt bow, but that wasn’t the matter.

“Do you think she feels angered that you called her your mate in the presence of those alphas when in reality you both aren’t even in that position?” Ora growled from inside as I took a seat, crossing my legs over to let my mind think properly.

“I don’t know,” I said to myself, tapping the side of the table like an OCD patient.

    Alpha Alfredo’s PovOpening my eyes, I squinted against the brightness of the light, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Panic surged through me as I realized I was tied to a chair, and all my attempts to set myself free didn't work."You're finally awake," I heard a familiar voice I hadn't heard in a long time, accompanied by eerie calmness. "Well, you didn't miss the fun part. We're just getting started.""Melissa?" I called out in surprise, looking in the direction the voice came from."Hey boo," she said, the eeriness in her voice sending a shiver down my spine."What's going on here?".....the stench of blood wafted into my nose, invading my senses, and I immediately knew something was terribly wrong. "Mel–" I stopped mid sentence as Melissa stepped out in the open. She was putting on a white gown which was now stained crimson with blood. On her right hand she held a knife which was dripping in blood, and what she held on her left hand made my blood run cold.The head of my m

    Alpha Alfredo’s Pov.A knock got me from my bed, sending me running to the door at that very second. I could not get hold of Alpha Farrell with a mobile line and had to do it the old-fashioned way by sending a messenger to his pack.Dex had said my message wouldn’t reach him as literally few people knew the entrance to Nightshade pack, and if caught roaming aimlessly around the Pack, it was an immediate death sentence.I was not a fervent believer of the goddess, but I prayed like never before to her and to any other god out there to make the messenger I sent over to Nightshade's Pack to come back in one piece. I had lost hope as days had passed without hearing from him when I heard a knock on the door, followed by Sarah's voice."Alpha Alfredo," she called from the other end.“Yes, Sarah, What is it?” I asked, as I opened the door. She stood with the messenger I sent, and my lips stretched into a smile, because it meant one thing; my message was delivered. “Leave us alone,” I said

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov “Mom, Dad. I do not know if I’m about to make the worst mistake I could ever make,” I said as I stood next to their tombstone. My clothes dance in the wind. I closed my eyes to listen to the wind singing in my ears as it blew along.The voices of the boys giggling and playing in the garden could be heard from a distance. Claire and Aiden were with them, helping in any way they could, and also stopping them from doing anything that could cause damage.I opened my eyes to stare at the blue sky. Dotted with fluffy clouds that floated along the sky with the laziness of a slot.“Just give me a sign and I will stop this thing I’m doing immediately,” I prayed silently to the goddess, watching through the sky for the tiniest bit of clue.“We are done up here and will go have our breakfast," I turned to see Claire standing next to me. Lost in thought I hadn’t realized when she put her arms through mine until she spoke.“You guys should go on ahead. I still have some though

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov “We've arrived,” My phone buzzed with a message from Kirk. I let out a deep breath as I stood from my table, walking to meet him outside. Now that he was here, there was something familiar about his face, but I wiped it off my mind as I offered him a handshake.“I thought you never trusted people enough to shake their hands,” he said as he took my hand in his, shaking it.I let out a little chuckle. “Did not think you would remember an incident from so long ago.”“But I did,” he said as he widened his hand.“I don't shake people when I'm outside my territory," I pointed out. "In here, I'm sure no one would dare try something funny," I said, giving him a fake smile.“I see," he said tersely, and I led the way into the house.“Looks like you want this meeting to be as private as private could be,” he said as he looked around when he noticed I led him into my study. “Which means the lady you brought to the meeting would not be here. Your Luna I mean.”“Both my beta

    Alfredo’s Pov “Who is Melissa?” He asked me.“She is the one behind you. The one you are throwing away our alliance because you felt she doesn’t like it?” I asked as I pointed at Melissa, who they now refer to as Gabriella.“It doesn’t concern you who I base my decision on.” He said as he twirled the pen in his hand. It was obvious she had told him something as she came into the room. Either Lyra, her wolf had said something disgusting about me and his wolf had told him not to sign. There was no way that something had not happened for him not to agree.“She never told you about her past?” I asked as I stood.“Her past doesn’t matter any less than my pack matters to me. She is a member of my pack and anything I find offensive to her is offensive to the pack as a whole, and that includes your alliance,” he said as he dropped the pen, leaning on his hand.The sound of children running in the room sounds through the door.“No, not here,” Alpha Farrell said as he made to go to the door.

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov I sat still in silence intensely watching the conversation between the both of them. One thing I've come to conclusion with is the fact that Gabriella, Melissa whoever she is, knows Alpha Alfredo. “Aiden. Get me Kirk to escort this man out of my Pack the same way he escorted him in," I said tersely. “You can’t do this to me, Alpha Farell,” he growled, banging his hand on my table. “You are no longer in Silver Rose pack, Alpha Alfredo," I informed him with creased brows, Incase he's thinking his words hold any weight in my Pack. "The reason for your coming to my Pack, ends now."“Are you just going to deny the truth before you?" He asked, pointing at Gabriella and glancing over at the kids. "You heard her yourself, she's–"Ignoring Alpha Alfredo, I turned in Gabriella's direction, unsure of what to call her. For seven years I’ve known her as Gabriella, but with the truth unfolding. I was no longer sure of what to call her.She stood there, wrapping her arms prot

    Gabriella POVEverything was over as soon as it began. The room was silent, but I could feel the eyes of Aiden and Kirk as they waited for some sort of explanation.How could I have not known? How did I not see this coming? I pondered on my stupidity. Alfredo saw me during the last meeting, and even though I denied being Melissa, he saw through my act. He knew me so damn well to know when I wasn't telling the truth. So, there was no way in hell he wouldn't come looking for me by any means necessary.“Mummy. Who was that man?” Daemon asked, staring at me with puppy eyes that would make you not want to deny him of anything he would ask.What do I tell him? Do I tell him that this man was not only his biological father but also, through his actions I almost lost my life?“It’s nothing for you to worry about baby,” I assured him with a smile as I squatted down, and ran my fingers through his hair, gently massaging his scalp. I pulled them both closer, wrapping my hands protectively out of

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov“Ughhh!!" I yelled out in frustration immediately Alpha Alfredo drove out, I smashed my hand into the steering wheel repeatedly.You’ll have to calm down,” Ora advised. "Let's just go home and hear what she has to say.""Home? It no longer felt like a home after what just happened,' I pointed out. "Gab…no Melissa," I corrected myself. Running my hands through my hair, I sighed deeply. Calling her Melissa felt like I was referring to a stranger. This whole situation is neither black nor white only gray in between, and the shades were never consistent.“What do you have me to do, Ora?” I asked, massaging my temples slowly as I was beginning to feel a slight headache.Ora sighed. I know this was harder on him than it ever was on me. He's always had a soft spot for Gabriella, and it somehow rubbed off on me.“The answer to your question is back home."“I already did, Ora," I said, frustration building up in my voice. "There was not a single day I didn't ask Gabriella

    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

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
