Pixie’s POV:You’ve got to be kidding me.I floor the gas pedal, not caring about the screeching sound that probably woke the entire pack house. My heart races, pulse beating in my ears. I glance at the rearview mirror, and my stomach twists when I see them gaining on me, their wolves charging like wild beasts.My breath catches, the mind link still open, their voices echoing in my head.“Pixie, stop the truck,” Ethan’s voice is low, commanding. The kind of voice that would make any sane person think twice before disobeying. But then again, I’m not exactly sane.“Yeah, you really don’t want us to catch you, sweetheart,” Cole’s voice follows, taunting, with that playful lilt that only makes me more determined to keep going.I grip the wheel tighter. “You think I’m scared of you two? Get lost!” I snap back, cutting the link before they can respond.I focus on the road ahead, the darkened path lit only by the headlights. My hands shake slightly, adrenaline pumping through my veins, but I
Pixie’s POV:I stare at them, my mind racing. This is what I’ve been waiting to hear, what I’ve been hoping for. But now that they’ve said it, I don’t know how to feel. I’m angry, hurt, confused, but also…relieved.“You could’ve just told me that,” I mumble, looking down at the ground.“We didn’t know how,” Ethan admits, stepping closer. “We were afraid you’d reject us.”My eyes snap up at him, my anger slowly dissipating. “Reject you? Why would I…?”“Because it’s not normal,” Cole interrupts, his tone bitter. “Because you might think it’s wrong, or too much, or…whatever.”I shake my head, trying to process everything. “I don’t care about what’s normal,” I say finally. “I just…I just want to be both of you.”Ethan and Cole exchange a look, something passing between them that I can’t quite read. Then they both move closer, standing on either side of me. Their presence is overwhelming, their warmth seeping into me making it hard to think straight.“We want that too,” Ethan murmurs, his
Pixie’s POV“So, what’s next?” The words fall from my mouth, watching as Evvie begins to walk away. I stared after her when she suddenly glances back before two masculine arms nudge me on either of my sides, and Evvie chuckles under her breath. She winked at me and mouthed the words ‘good luck’ before walking off to her mate’s room.I find myself sandwiched back between Cole and Ethan, who snaked their arms around my waist at the exact same time.What are they, twins?But that’s impossible.Cole was originally from Alpha Logan’s Pack, the Blood Shadow Pack, while Ethan had been in Evvie’s. They can’t possibly be related.Ethan grins when my eyes find him. “Why don’t we accompany you to your room?”He suggests, and I gulp.“My room is that way,” I barely managed to say that out loud before Cole grabbed my hand and with a wicked smile on his face as he leads me to the hallway, up the staircase where I remember all the rooms for visiting wolves were.Casey and I were both just visiting,
Evvie’s POV:This is it. I’m going to tell him. I nod encouragingly to myself when my own thoughts sink in.I’m going to tell him…About this… That I’m pregnant.What is he gonna say?‘Why don’t you go in and find out?’ My wolf whispers. She shares my pain. She knows more than anyone the pain I had to go through that horrible night.But she’s right. It’s now or never.I knock on Logan’s office two times. The third time, he immediately answers, and the door opens to reveal the most handsome mate one could ask for.“Baby, why didn’t you just come in? You’re the luna now,” he emphasizes that word making me cringe.“Maybe it’s too early to call me that,” I mutter, and his brows furrow.“You are a luna, Evvie. Nobody can deny that,” he says. I don’t say anything as he steps back inside and I follow after him.“Sorry, my own beta isn’t here apparently,” he grumbled and stalked towards his table.“Where the hell is Cole anyway?” He groaned, clicking his tongue as he looked around as if Cole
Casey’s POV:The cold, damp air in the cells made me shiver. I had never imagined myself in a place like this, surrounded by stone walls and iron bars. I’m a writer, and these kinds of things I see before me should only exist at the back of my mind where my imagination comes alive.Just everything about this is so… surreal. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to ward off the chill as I peered down the dimly lit corridor.Why did I come here?I ask myself that, but I knew the answer. Curiosity. The kind of curiosity that gnaws at you until you have no choice but to see for yourself. I had to see what kind of person would betray an alpha wolf, as they call him.“Who’s there?” a voice called out, rough and low, reverberating through the stone walls.I froze, and my breath hitches right in my throat.This is definitely not a good idea. Maybe I should turn around, maybe this isn’t worth a shot. Yes, I’ve seen the man and thought I’ve fallen in love with him at first sight, but for Evvi
THREE MONTHS LATERCasey’s POVThree months. It had been three long, grueling months since the war ended. Since Alpha Logan’s pack stood victorious, since the entire army of wild rogues were finally defeated. Evvie’s pack joined Logan’s troops, and they were happy to help. In these three months I was beginning to understand pack ways. I have spent hours and hours in the library studying the history of lycanthrope, their moon goddess Diana, as well as the thing about… mates.It’s also been three months since I first laid eyes on him, Carlos, apparently my so-called mate, in these very cells.I’ve tried to keep my distance, tried to ignore the strange pull I felt toward him. The mate bond, they called it. But how could I, a human, have a mate? And one who was betrayed them, locked away in the dirty cells of Alpha Logan’s prison.I wasn’t even supposed to be here, in this world of wolves and wars, where fate played cruel games with people’s lives. But here I was, standing in front of the
And that’s a wrap! Dear readers, I really hope you somehow loved the ride as much as I loved driving it to certain edges to the very end. I want to thank everyone so much for all the critiques and consistent support especially from Ava Wolf, Cheryl, and all readers who gave this book a shot. You’re all part of the reason why I continue to push through, despite the hurdles and complicated circumstances in life. Thank you…By the way, the last two bonus chapters are the beginning of another story coming up soon, which also means the same characters here would be present in the new work I will be releasing.So stay updated. I would also like you to check out my other books, such as Born to be My Luna, which is the first book I ever created. It’s very important to me, because it was my whole world that brought me out of misery during my darkest times.For the next few months, I will try switching to the YA/Contemporary romance genre next, exploring the story of one female and two males lea
Hello again dear readers! After discussing this with my editor, I have decided to resume Casey's story in this same book. However, there will still be a different project coming up after this is completed, so stay tuned! xoxo, Alora
