ALTHEA. “She’s dead… No. She’s dead…” I kept mumbling as I held on to Blade’s desk for support. My knees were buckling, and I felt I would throw up at any moment. All the insecurity I felt about Soledad came crashing in and shattering, which was what left of my hope that Blade was all mine. I knew Dalton wasn’t lying because he didn’t know who Soledad was at all. In this pack, only Blade and I knew about her. “What do you mean she’s dead?” Thalia asked as her hands held my arms, supporting me so I wouldn’t stumble. “I am Blade’s second chance mate. Soledad was the first. She died in a rogue attack almost six years ago. Her death was the reason Blade abandoned your pack. He couldn’t accept that he was not able to save her.” “And nobody told us about this?” “Fabian knew, and so did Alpha Stone.” My eyes were blurry with tears, but I saw the way the Beta couple glanced at each other. I couldn’t see their eyes, so I had no idea if they pitied me or if they thought I had gone cra

ALTHEA. I took the glass of water that Thalia handed to me, drinking all of it once before we went out of the packhouse. We could have waited inside, but I didn’t want Soledad to step inside the packhouse. I knew if I opened my mind that if Soledad was alive and she was Blade’s mate, then she was just brought into this just as I was. But with the Beta couple claiming I would never bear this mark if she was also his mate. Someone was lying, and I didn’t want to believe it was Blade. Or was I being blinded by my love for him? All I knew was that this pack could only have one Luna, and if he insisted on letting her in, I would leave. I had no idea if I would be able to, but I would not share a roof with her. My heart thundered as the sound of an approaching vehicle roared in the air. Thalia was standing beside me, and as if she knew what I exactly needed, her hand took mine and clasped it with her hand, giving me the strength to face them. “I only have one Luna.” She said softly,

BETA DALTON.I kept quiet while the Alpha was driving toward the area where we had houses that we had reserved for special guests. We haven’t had any guests recently, but they were always kept warm and tidy, ready for occupancy any time of the day. The car was quiet. No one was speaking, but I could tell the female sitting beside the Alpha seemed agitated, probably because of my presence.Luna Althea’s revelation surprised me. Everything started to make sense — why Alpha Blade left us all of a sudden when he dreamed and took pride in being an Alpha. But nothing was more shocking than finding out the reason he left was back and alive. Something wasn’t adding up. Someone was lying, and I knew it was not my Alpha. My eyes darted to the front seat when I saw the female reach for the Alpha’s hand and entwine it with hers. I wanted to growl. I wanted to be possessive on behalf of my Luna, but I didn’t. Instead, I mindlink him. ‘I will tell the Luna everything I see.”I saw him swallow,

BETA DALTON. “Are you saying Soledad might be lying? But between the two of them, Althea is the witch.” Alpha Blade said. “Don’t put those thoughts in my head, Alpha. We both know Althea is not lying!” I snapped at him. He didn’t say anything, so I hit the brakes before I turned to face him. I was losing my patience already. “That girl was trying to move on without you! I was there when I picked her up on her first heat, and you appeared out of nowhere and marked her! And then what happened next? You took her home after she turned 19, and the next thing I knew, you were offering her a contract to be your Luna! You lured her to acknowledge this bond, only for you to turn around and tell her your first mate is alive! But where was she in the last six years? How did she endure the pain while you were intimate with the Luna because I am sure you did not just touch Althea once?” My voice was higher as I was fucking furious and frustrated at him. Blade had always been smart and could thi

BETA DALTON. I knew then that the hell I was talking about earlier had already risen on earth. ‘Alpha, tell him to stop!’ I mindlinked the Alpha because he was still slumped on the ground. ‘Let him.’ He replied. What the fuck was that answer? I growled before I sent him another message. ‘That demon will kill you!’ But he fucking ignored me. “Is Althea with you?” Alpha Blade asked him in a loud, booming voice. Instead of answering him, an airball hit the Alpha, and his body was pushed and dragged to the other side of the grounds. “No!” I yelled, trying to go around the fire, but there was no fucking way I would be able to go near it. I’d seen fire. I’d felt it, but this one in front of me was different. I could feel my skin melting even if I was still too far from it that I couldn’t take any steps closer. “Just tell me she’s safe, and you could do whatever the fuck you want with me.” He told King Lucius, and his voice sounded as if he were ready to give up and just fucking die.

ALTHEA. I heard a sound of footsteps following me, and I was hoping it was Gamma Aldrin. “One more fucking move and I will cut your throat!” Blade bellowed, and because of that, I was sure the man behind me was definitely the Gamma. I rolled my eyes when I heard no more footsteps following me. I turned around and placed my hands on my hips as I stared at my mate. Despite the anger in his voice, Blade looked lost. I wanted to clean the blood off his body and cuddle him to pacify him, but he needed a taste of his own medicine. I looked at Aldrin and motioned with my thumb. “Go to the parking lot and prepare a car. I’ll be there soon.” I didn’t wait for his reply and walked toward Blade. I was doing my best not to show weakness in front of him. I didn’t want to shout as well, as I didn’t want anyone to hear what I wanted to say. But coming closer might make me want to throw my arms around him, so I kept reminding myself not to give in. “Althea… Don’t leave me.” He said. “I ca

ALTHEA. I reached the floor where our room was, and the corridor was too silent. My heart began thudding loudly as I neared his suite. His door was left ajar. I wondered if I should go to his or mine. But if he broke the door between us, then it was of no use. But even before I could decide where to head, he was already by his door, looking at me. He looked better. There was no more blood on him, but he had some bruises and a patch on his head. I guess Rage couldn’t heal him too soon. Maybe because it was a demon that inflicted his wounds. “Where have you been?” He asked. “I will tell you later. I want to shower.” He opened his door wide and moved to the side, giving me space to come in. “Come here. I’ll prepare a bath for you.” I didn’t say anything and just walked past him to go inside his suite and walk to the main bedroom right away. He followed me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the tap and adjust the temperature. Blade would usually shower with just medi

ALTHEA. “And that love is the only reason I’m still here,” I added. Blade didn’t say anything, but his mouth crashed into mine. My arms around his neck tightened as my hands crawled to the back of his head, holding him tightly as I pressed him more into me. I kissed him fiercely, putting all my love and anger into our kisses. I felt my body swivel before we fell down on the mattress with me below him. I felt Blade’s full weight on me before he adjusted his position so he wouldn’t crush me. He was heavy, and yet it didn’t hurt me. I kept kissing him, taking what was rightfully mine. I didn’t want to think anymore about what his goddess was playing at by giving him two mates. She was not my goddess, but if it were my spirits that were telling me Blade was mine, then I believed them. If I needed Soledad out of the way to get Blade for myself, then I would do it. Besides, she was supposed to be dead already. So I wouldn’t feel guilty about it. “You’re mine, Althea!” Blade gro

EPILOGUE 2 BLAIR.I showed Alonso my dagger—a gift from Mama Patrea and Dada Lucius. It was made in the underworld. Mommy taught me a spell where I could summon it even from a great distance, in case I needed it in a time of danger. But I didn’t tell Alonso I was not supposed to use it for simple duels like this. In no time, we were dueling, and I could tell he was going easy on me. Easy, but not really easy. “Oh, shoot!” His dagger slashed into my arm as he was backing away. It was painful, but it was just a small cut. Nothing that wouldn’t heal. He was about to approach me, but I held my hand to stop him. “Moved back. You’ll pay for cutting me.” I said, giggling, and before I realized what I was doing, I threw the dagger at him. Like I’d done twice today, and I didn’t throw hard. I knew he could dodge it.But for some reason, my surroundings felt too warm, like I was placed in a sauna. After that, everything happened in a flash.I saw the dagger flying at full speed toward him.

FIVE YEARS AFTER EPILOGUE 1 Blair 11 years old Alonso 16 years old Luther 12 years old Blast 7 years old Lukas 6 years old Lily 6 years oldALTHEA. I sliced another portion of the cake and placed it on Blast’s plate. He, Lily, and Lukas had been eating non-stop, and if I was not aware of who their fathers were, I would definitely ask them to stop. But I knew they could all handle the sweets and food. They had an appetite bigger than the whole Kalmerus. “And you were saying?” I inquired as I made my way toward the sink. I had to wash the cake knife directly and place it back inside the drawer afterward, as it’d be a big risk to leave it on top of the counter where Lukas could see it. Lukas had a fascination with knives, and at six years old, he had no control over his reflexes. Everything he throws would end up exploding. “Sorry, I spaced out,” I added.“I said Blair is doing great in the Alpha camp. It didn’t matter that she was the only female there. She could make all th

6 YEARS AFTER BLAIR’S BIRTH.‘Luna Althea…’ The Omega’s voice reached my head, and my heart dropped. She was panicking, and I could tell she was running.‘Where are you?’ I asked as I opened the door from where I was.I saw Meredith running toward us with Blair in her arms. I grabbed my daughter from her and checked for any injuries or something strange, but there was nothing. “What happened?” Blade asked as he stood behind me. He was holding Blast, our two-year-old son, in his arms. We were celebrating Blair’s sixth birthday, and we had a small celebration in the packhouse. I was in one of the receiving rooms with our guests when Meredith mindlinked me. She was Blair’s Omega, and she had been with her since she was a baby. When I was not with our child, she was the one responsible for her. So, the worry in her voice made me panic, too.“I turned my back to her for a few seconds, and when I looked back, she was already outside the door. I didn’t hear her open the sliding door. I kne

ALTHEA.“It is no longer in our control, Althea. But I’m keeping my hope that one day, Elliot will realize we are not the enemy.”Althea didn’t reply and just let the silence rule us. The last car passed by, and we acknowledged the nod of respect they gave us. Once they were out of our sight, Althea turned her body around and wrapped her arms around my waist, resting her cheek against my chest. “Shall we call it a night, Alpha?”“Hmmm… The night is young. Would you like to go somewhere with me?”“You know I will go anywhere you lead. What do you have in mind?”My eyes dilated before a smile graced my face. I licked my upper lip before I leaned down, my mouth brushing against her ear. “Rage wanted to take control tonight. If you let him…”She pulled away from hugging me, and I always laughed out loud at the way her eyes squinted and her lips pouted. “Rage or you? You’re always using his name…”“My Luna knows me so well,” I chuckled before pressing my forehead against her. She was so sho

BLADE.“You need to be careful with your words, Blade. He’s too young to be traumatized.” Althea said. “I’ll try my best…” I let out a breath and tried to calm myself. Althea was traumatized as a child, and she made it her advocacy to look after children’s welfare. She had built a women’s center in our territory, which was run by females and served as a safe haven for women and children. As much as I tried to have a peaceful territory, domestic abuse was still present, but no one was complaining about it. So Althea wanted the women’s center to reach out to every school and hold symposiums and meetings to build awareness that there was a place they could always go to. Her vision and effort were rewarded, as lately we were able to save two females and their children. It was not a big number, but it was still celebrated on our end. While one of the perpetrators managed to escape and has yet to be found, another has already received a whipping and is currently serving his sentence in

ALTHEA.Six months had gone by since Blair was born, and so far, everything had been quiet. We had not heard of Alastor. I was not even sure if he was aware that I had given birth already, as there were no strange occurrences within the territory.Blade had beefed up the security, investing in the same equipment that Adan had used before to detect a demon’s presence around his territory. He used Lucius’ body temperature as he was the closest to what Alastor was—a full royal demon. But we have not detected anything up until today. Either it didn’t work for Alastor, or he was really nowhere around us. We tried to live normally. Blair hadn’t stepped out of the packhouse grounds, but she was given an Alpha welcome in one of the hotels in this territory. We took a big risk that day because we wanted our people to see her. They deserved to meet their future Alpha, and I was grateful that everything went smoothly. There were also no signs of Alastor or even his aura. Four royal demons su

ALTHEA.After spending a few more minutes together, Blade helped me change into more comfortable clothes, and we finally let our family and friends see Blair.Patrea, Lucius, Lucy, and Adan came in together. My Beta Female Thalia and Gamma Female Sheena also came with the Beta and the Gamma. Lucy was holding her son, Luther, while Thalia had Declan in her arms. Declan was just five weeks old, and I had already fallen in love with him. I was lucky that my girl would have him. Based on how protective his parents were toward me and Blade, I knew the future Alpha would be in good company.With me and Thalia having pups, we had been teasing Sheena that it was her turn this year, so our pups’ ages wouldn’t be too far away.We had no idea if our teasing did it or simply because our Gammas couldn’t get their hands off each other. Sheena was already in her third month of pregnancy, and in less than seven months, our Gamma baby would be born. Sheena had already relocated to our pack and was

ALTHEA“Blade!” I screamed before I gave one last push, and I felt a large mass just swim out of my vagina as my whole body melted. I had been tired from doing rituals and spells and sex marathons with my mate, but I was never this tired. I felt like all of my limbs and even my internal organs needed a whole year to get their energy back.I was still lost in oblivion when a loud cry pierced the air, and Blade’s hold on my body tightened as he hugged me again. I was sure he had been whispering words to me, but I kept spacing out.“We have a girl…” He mumbled excitedly when I finally met his eyes.I couldn’t stop the smile from curling on my lips. I was actually smiling wide because Blade’s enthusiasm was contagious.What was funnier was that we knew all along that we had a girl. Guinevere confirmed it, and the ultrasounds said it as well. But the excitement on his face and his voice told me like this was the first time he found out we were having a girl.“Can you believe we have a girl

ALTHEA.A soft moan escaped my throat before I bit my bottom lip, suppressing any further sound from coming out as I arched my body. I woke up with a tingling sensation coursing through my core, and I was right — Blade was worshiping my pussy, feasting on it as if he were never fed. I just let myself get lost in the sensation, and it took a while before my surroundings sank in.We were in my cottage. In my old childhood bedroom. He probably didn’t feel right fucking me in my mother’s bedroom, so instead, he cramped us in my little bed. The last time I remember, we were inside the cave behind the waterfall. I couldn’t remember coming here. I must have passed out. My pregnancy was making me sleepy all the time, so falling asleep anytime, anywhere, was nothing new. And the way my body felt secure around Blade was most likely the reason I didn’t wake up while he walked us home.Then the memory of my conversation with Guinevere came flashing in my head. But was it real? Or was it all a d
