~Liam~
Salina, along with Carson and the Delta Unit went to save the kid. They went to the left-wing and the rest of us, to the right-wing. The place was built like a castle, and surprisingly, there weren’t too many guards.
Gale guarding our backs, with my girl on the right and the couple on my left, we made our way through the halls, then up the stairs.
I was channeling Luca’s energy to sharpen my senses. I wasn’t taking any chances. My mate, my brothers, and my sister-in-law were all here.
Walking through a wide hallway, the thick wooden double doors, reinforced with iron, ahead was the “safe room”. Scanning the top of the door to the bottom, it was either a trap or what Salina claimed it to be. There were no cameras in the corners of the walls.
And yet, as if they knew we were present, the doors cracked slightly open and four young men stepped out. Each wore combat uniforms that were
~Anna~He should understand me out of everyone here! I lost everyone I loved because of the man behind those doors – it was proper that he pay for what he did. Even the Goddess would judge it to be just.The gun cool in my hand, and heavy; I positioned myself beside Nalia. Carson was beside Ethan. The rest had no other choice. Liam stood beside me, and the group divided between two sides.Nodding to Ethan, he and Nalia pushed open the doors. Quickly, they entered with their guns aimed. From where I was, I could see Ethan scanning the right side. I was about to follow when Liam squeezed my hand.“Wha-“I was interrupted by the ringing gunshots that shot through the entrance. Bullets pierced through the wooden door.Liam pulled me back into the safety of the concrete wall before I was full of holes.Ethan!I looked to where he was and saw him sprawled on the
~Flynn~I sighed. “Father, please take your meds.”He turned on his side with his back to me. After what happened in the Blue Moon Pack, I told him everything, and he hadn’t talked to me since.His wolf had weakened. He was dying, but he refused to take his medicines and he wouldn’t eat.The pack healer said he could die at any moment. It wasn’t helping that he was being stubborn. He even refused to look at me now. This must be what Anna felt like all those years. I was paying for what I did to her.“Father, if you take your meds, I’ll give the Red Claw Pack a call and ask for Anna.”I could tell he was thinking about it. The last time he spoke to a person was when Anna came to visit him. She left teary-eyed, and I didn’t dare ask her what they talked about. Hopefully, she at least forgave my father for hiding the truth from her.When they found out that Myron lied, they
~Anna~Liam squeezed my hand. I leaned into his chest and he hugged me to him. Beside me was Carson, and in the seats opposite us, Gale and Sabri. We were in the lobby, waiting for Lexy or any of her staff to inform us of the result of the operation.When I passed out, so did Rigel. The wound had closed, and he expelled the poison, but how he was still alive with a silver bullet inside him, was a mystery.In a way, my own gift scared me. If word about it spread, the pack might make more enemies than before and would suffer more attacks.Liam told me he had to keep it a secret even from the pack, so when Rigel’s wound closed, they somehow made it appear like I only expelled the wolfsbane.
~Anna~I crossed my arms and huffed. “No.”“No?” he asked, raising a brow.“No,” I repeated.I felt a slight thug then the bedroom door slammed behind me.“You have to stop doing that!” I shouted.“Doing what?” he asked, smirking, then my back was hitting the mattress.“That super-fast thingy!” I blurted.What did I say?He laid beside me then leaned forward. “You like it when I get fast… super fast…” he said, his voice husky. His voice alone was making me doubt my own words.“Liam…” I whined. “Can’t you hold back for just this once?”
~Gale~My hands gripped the steering wheel. I shouldn’t be here. When we got back to the pack, Jaymer was in the clinic, but Andrix had left.This wasn’t going to work.How do I even begin?I couldn’t just walk up to him and say, “Hi, I’m sorry for torturing you for months but I’m your mate so let’s just forget about it?”Idiot.Gil was howling in my head. He’d been missing our mate and I couldn’t get him to shut up. I tugged at my hair and let out a groan. I should go back, think about it more, and then return on a later day.On the passenger seat was a box of chocolates that made me feel more stupid. Wha
~Liam~“Calm down, bro,” said Gale. Maybe I would if he wasn’t obviously nervous in front of me. He’s been squeezing a stress ball since he got here.I paced back and forth on my office, my nerves on edge all day. Tonight, she would be formally introduced to the pack as Luna. While it was traditionally an exclusive event for the pack, we invited the Black Mist Pack. Besides, I also wanted them to be there tonight. Since we already broke tradition, we invited the allied packs.Everyone I cared about, including proven allies would be there, but it wasn’t why I felt like I was about to lose my mind.As Gale and I pondered on our own businesses, Rigel, as always, was seated casually, actually wearing formal clothes for the event. Leaning back, legs crossed, and a glass of scotch in hand.I was yet to learn how they found where I kept my alcohol – they’ve been raiding it since. I saved them for special occasions, but
~Anna~“… and I’m getting married now,” I said to mother and fathers. After discussing with Alpha Flynn, he gave permission to move their graves to my pack’s territory.I’d forgiven him, but we there was no fixing what had been done. We were on good terms, but we could never be what we used to be. We were simply Alphas, who recognized each other’s strengths and respected each other’s status.He had to accept it and move on, with his mate. They seemed to look after each other, and with the way he looked at her, I could tell she wouldn’t go through the same I did. Besides, they had already marked each other.After Alpha Fraser passed away, the New Moon Pack was formed. Now, news of their pac
~Anna~“You look so beautiful, Anna,” said Lexy, dabbing at her eyes.“Thank you, Lexy… for everything,” I said and gave her a tight hug.“Won’t you at least tell me what happens after? I heard Aunty J stressing over the menu for tonight.”I didn’t know how the ceremony would proceed, and they’d been keeping their mouths sealed.“Well… we, your loyal subjects, enjoy a night of feasting and drinking and some alone time with our mates…”I sniggered, surprised that she could be so bold when it came to Carson.“… while you and bro copulate somewhere else.”Oh, Goddess…

A shrill scream cut through the otherwise silent mansion of the Rose family. Liam awoke, startled, and in a speed that the human eye couldn’t follow, he opened Alia’s bedroom door with a bang.The light switched on, illuminating the little girl shaking in her bed. Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill. She breathed harshly, raising her arms to ask for her Daddy’s comfort.Liam’s gaze shifted momentarily to the windows, which were, much to his relief closed, the curtains exactly the way they were when he left her.The boys’ bedroom door opened as Liam stalked to Alia. He raised the girl by her waist and let her down on his lap.“Daddy,” she cried, burying her face in his chest.Liam stroked her hair and gently leaned forward and back. “It’s only a nightmare, baby. Daddy’s here.”“You can put those down,” he said to the boys. Aylan carefully put down the bag of wolfsbane powder.“No bad guys?” asked Amiry.“N
“I’m thinking of adopting,” said Gale as he ran a hand though his hair. “I haven’t talked to Andrix about it yet, but he won’t be averse at the idea, would he?”Rigel calmly drank his glass of bourbon, which was from Liam’s not-so-secret personal collection.“A human kid?” he asked.“No, you fucking dumbass. Do you want the kid to die?” Gale said, scowling.Liam muttered under his breath, something about not having a moment of quiet time for himself as he scanned and signed through a stack of documents. Gray streaks dyed his hair, and lines had begun to show on his face. He had a stubble from having forgotten to shave that morning. It was because of the children jumping up on him before daybreak.Sighing, he signed the last o
~Liam~“AAAHHH!!!” Anna’s screams filled the entire room as our babies pushed their way out. In a few more hours or minutes, we were going to be parents!“AAAHHH!!! Ughm!”I clenched my jaw as she crushed my hands in a death grip. She was sweating profusely, her breathing heavy. Lexy and Helia and nurses were constantly checking on her.I didn’t know what else to do. If I could share the pain with her, I would. The only plan my mind came up with was to talk to her like it would help.“You’re doing great, babe!” I encouraged.I can’t feel my hands.“Breathe… breathe… you’re alright… you’re doing great!”
~Liam~I’d been squeezing a stress ball since morning – Gale’s recommendation. As ridiculous as it looked, it was helping.“Did you hear back from Helia?” I asked as soon as Lexy entered my office.“She’ll be here by tomorrow morning,” she replied, dropping on the sofa like a bag of potatoes. “Are you sure you want to me to handle this, bro? We can ask the humans – they’ve more experience and frankly, I’ve only ever delivered one baby.”We owned hospitals and leaving her in the hands of an expert would maybe lower the risks, but she was a special case.Her blood, her race – if something hocus pocus happened while a human was around, the safest measure would be to kill that human. It would upset her. Then again, she didn’t have to know. Still…“I’m leaving you in charge of preparations,” I said firmly. “If something… starts happening, do whatever you have to save her.”“I want her to make it
~Liam~“Babe, I’m sorry. You told me I can have it.”I ate the last brownie on the fridge and forgot to bake more since I spent the day in the office. For the mean time, I was handling two packs because I didn’t want her to stress herself over pack matters. She was on board with the idea. It gave her more time to read books and nap – she’d been napping at almost after every hour.When she was in the mood for boring paperwork, she’d join me. I enjoyed her company – things finish faster, and her mood would lighten up at the Black Mist Pack’s reports which were usually on their progress on the numerous programs implemented to help stabilize their position.I didn’t get yelled at or pushed away for being
~Rigel~“The little fucker’s asleep.”I grinned in triumph. My carbon copy had been crying for hours, keeping everyone wide awake at twenty minutes past twelve on a Friday night! Sabri was lying in bed, her eyes closed, tired from the sleepless nights and early mornings.I wouldn’t let Mom take care of my kid while I slept. She needed to rest, too, after a long day of feeding the pack.I could train for hours, spar with every warrior willing to get bruises, but holding a kid and dancing him around for hours… every muscle in my arms screamed at me to let them down on my sides. Funny thing was that he didn’t even weigh much.A settled man. None of the guys would’ve expected that I’d be the first one. My bachelor days were over, and yet despite the added responsibilities, I was… happier?I had a beautiful queen in bed, and a little prince in my arms. What more could I ask for?Mom was ov
~Anna~“You look so beautiful, Anna,” said Lexy, dabbing at her eyes.“Thank you, Lexy… for everything,” I said and gave her a tight hug.“Won’t you at least tell me what happens after?
