As I stepped out of my car, I let out a deep breath, not exactly sure how I had survived that car drive with Meghan without grabbing hold of her hand just like my wolf wanted.My wolf Silas seem to be pretty reel up just sitting so close to her while inhaling her scent deep into our lungs.I tried to distract myself as soon as I got out of the car, I shrugged off some tensed muscles, the warm sun shinning down on me, casting a bright glow over the hills and prairies that lay before me. In front of me was a landscape of lush greenery, teeming with wildlife, and punctuated with craggy rock formations. Somewhere in the woods surrounding us was the border between my pack, Trinity, and Zuma, one of the largest wolf packs in the region and the subject of the upcoming court case that I was preparing for. The details of the case were complex, but essentially it boiled down to a dispute between my pack and the neighboring Zuma pack – no, not a dispute, rather, escalating hostilities. After t

Lin’s POVIt was at what had to be the worst moment - or certainly close enough - that we spotted him – the alpha of the Zuma pack, Zack Evans was prowling around in our territory. He was pacing back and forth, making it clear that he wasn't there for a friendly visit. My hackles rose as I watched him, and I could feel the anger starting to build up inside me.I approached him, ready to confront him and make it clear that he and his pack members was not welcome here, not in my land or whatever reasons that seem interesting to them. But Zack wasn't one to back down easily. He turned to face me, a sly smile on his lips."Well, well, well," he drawled. "If it isn't alpha Lin. What brings you out here on this fine day?"I knew exactly what he was up to. He was trying to provoke me, to get me all riled up enough to make a mistake. But I refused to give him the satisfaction."I am here to ensure our borders are secure, and keep scum like you out," I said, keeping my tone even. "Now, What a

Meghan POV.Lin narrowed his eyes at me, and I braced myself for the worst. But instead of lashing out, he seemed to deflate. "Fine, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it then.""Thank you," I said, and then feeling like that wasn't enough, added; "if it makes you feel any better, Zack and I absolutely hate each other as much as you do so I am looking forward to taking him down a notch in court."Lin smiled. A beautiful thing that reached his eyes and made them sparkle and causing my heart to skip a beat."The enemy of my enemy is a friend, I guess," he said."Yeah, you can take it like that. Oh, by the way, we need to have a talk when we get back to the pack.""More legal stuff?""Court related, yes. Also to get some signed witness accounts from your pack members."Lin nodded, and with that, we resumed our drive back to the pack, both lost in our own thoughts. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen next. Would Zack come after us again, now that we'd made our presence

As we drove, Leon kept up a polite conversation, asking me about my business and how my stay in the city had been so far.I ended up telling him that I had lived in Hundsville before, in the past, but moved out later. When he asked why, I just gave him a vague family reason and threw off his curiosity.He glanced at me briefly, then turned his attention back to the road. We continued driving in silence for a few more minutes, the question he had asked drudging up memories of Zack, and making me realize that I should probably just shut up about anything tangentially related to that since I knew that Alpha Lin was already suspicious of my relationship with the man, and no one wanted to have their enemy's old flame handle their court case.It took a whole hour's drive before we reached the hotel where I was lodged, Leon having taken a more direct, but just as much more lonely path. The beta slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road and I thanked him for the ride and got out.Le

There was probably no one following me, and I had heard wrong, I tried to reason yet I continued to run. Because getting back to the hotel was paramount, I reasoned. It was probably pretty late already so I had to get some shut eye soon. Although the streets were giving me the creeps, there was nothing to be afraid of. I was just running... to make sure. As you can guess, the self delusion did not last long.The hairs on the back of my neck stood on edge, and I could not shake the feeling that I was being watched, by multiple people too. I glanced over my shoulder, peering into the shadows cast by the flickering streetlights. There was no one there. I shrugged it off, chiding myself for letting my imagination run wild. I took a sharp turn and my forehead slammed into a thick, boney arm. My momentum suddenly interrupted, my feet left the floor and I ended up falling onto my rear. A slight whimper escaped my lips and I looked up to see a dark figure – a man, judging from his figur

Of course. Of – oh, by the goddess, of course he made his way to the cafe we used to visit when we were together. And just for the record, the last three words of that horrid sentence made me cringe internally, something fierce, considering it was Zack I was referring to. Goddess above, I can not believe we used to be a thing back in the day considering how arrogant and vile he turned out to be. That said, it was a good thing the cafe had not been open at the time. Of course, I would have demanded we change venue if it was, but it was good things did not get to that. What we had was an unstable dynamic where Zack was willing to accord me a certain level of... let us say indulgence so that I would listen to him prattle.If I pushed too much, he would push back – with force – and I did not want to challenge him, the group of stray wolves he had with him, and the ones who thought they were being sneaky about following us. Stupid amateurs. Eventually, we settled for some other place

A week after Zack's threats, I was at the exact hearing he had warned me not to attend.The courtroom hummed with anticipation as I, and my legal team made our final preparations for the crucial court case Alpha Lin has against him. The weeks leading up to this moment had been filled with tireless effort, sleepless nights, and unyielding determination. The outcome of this trial would shape not only my career but also my reputation as a formidable lawyer in the firm.I immersed myself in the preparations, meticulously gathering evidence, constructing arguments, and envisioning the potential scenarios that could unfold in court. Every detail mattered, and I left no stone unturned. The weight of the case was heavy on my shoulders, Lin was counting on me and I embraced it, knowing that my dedication and unwavering resolve would be the keys to success.The courtroom itself exuded a sense of grandeur, with its polished wooden paneling, high ceilings, and a gallery filled with eager specta

I held my breath, my heart still threatening to jump out of my chest as my phone continued to ring away and finally I heard their Nanny voice, “How is my kids, please tell me they are okay”“Yes, yes, everything is fine. I didn’t want to worry you but Emily has been running some temperature and I just thought you should know”Oh my babies. I have been so engrossed with Alpha Lin case that I totally negligence the most important people in my life. The sole reason I keep pushing. Tears stink my eyes as I thought about my baby girl being sick and I’m not there to care for her myself.I sniff back my tears, “Can you put her on the phone please? Let me talk to her”“Emily is sleeping right now but Ethan is right here”“Give him the phone”I held my phone as I heard her shuffle around for a bit before I heard the most soothing voice filter into my ear, “Mommy?”“Yes baby, mommy is right here sweetie and I miss you so much”“I miss you too mommy, Emily is missing you”I smiled sadly, “I miss

Epilogue Six months later. “Emily, go get your Dad and Ethan to get ready or we are going to be late for the ceremony” “Okay, mom” Emily nodded and turned to leave while I continued to busy myself with Jaxon. His birth came at a time when we were going through the most difficult moment of our lives and I can’t help but cherish the bond I have with him. Jaxon looked like Ethan when he was a month old. A resemblance that was uncanny to their father. Our little family went from four to five and ever since my hands have been more than full. Having to care for my kids as well as carrying out my duty as Luna around the pack hasn’t been easy but thanks to Lin, I was given a year leave from my work as a lawyer even though I have a feeling I won’t be returning after that. Lin had already hinted that he was working on helping me start my own law firm where I can recruit and train other lawyers in neighboring packs so they can defend their territories the right way without wedging war on ea

Meghan’s POV."What's happening to him?" I demanded, desperate for answers but mother simply looked at him as though nothing was wrong even though Lin looked like he was undergoing something more life threatening at the moment.“The cursed blood is getting fused with his beast making the transformation twice as painful for a normal wolf”My eyes widen, “How do we stop it?”"It can’t be stopped, child. Lin has to learn to control the powers that plagues him," mother said, sounding unbothered. "Often times, great powers comes with great responsibility"Lin let out a strangled cry, curling into himself and I pulled him closer, wrapping around his frame even though my arms barely fit across his board shoulders."Mother..look at him, this is a freaking curse…there has to be a way to help him." I pleaded, looking up at her."I’m sorry, Meghan but not all curse are a curse! Some are actually blessings if and only if he learns how to control it. If he doesn’t then he will die”My heart sank a

Lin's POV I could feel the life force within me waning, the pain in my chest intensifying with every breath. But I refused to give in to defeat. Desperation surged within me, and I summoned every ounce of my strength but it was of no use against him.Vincent's claws dug deeper, pressed down against my chest, his grip tightening around my heart, and for a fleeting moment, terror coursed through me. The pain was excruciating, the sensation of my life being forcibly extracted unbearable.But in that moment, I felt a presence, a force surrounding me. From my peripheral I saw Meghan and her mother not far from the chaos. Her mother’s hand outstretched and enchanting some strange words.A surge of energy surged through me, a surge that matched the desperation in my heart. It was as if I had tapped into an ancient wellspring of power, a wellspring fueled by the love and determination of the two incredible women who held my heart in their hands, figuratively and literally.With newfound str

With the short bloody dagger still in my grip, I readied myself for the worst as the two rogue wolves closed in on me, their snarling faces contorted with hunger and aggression. I braced myself for the impending attack. My grip on the dagger tightened, the maternal instinct within me more than ready to protect the child cradled at the corner, not very far from me. The weight of responsibility bore down on me, and I was ready to face whatever threat came our way.The first one lunged at me, it’s claws slicing close to my cheek in a deadly swipe and causing me to stumble a few step back. Without hesitation, I swung the blade at its snapping jaw, only missing it by a few inches.My stand against them only made them angrier. I knew I stood no chance against them in my human form as my movement was too sloppy and still weak from childbirth. My wolf was of no use either, she was in no position to fight either. An hour or two could bring us more recovery but that seem to be the last thing

Meghan's POV.The atmosphere inside the safe house had grown thick with tension. My wolf paced restlessly within me, its agitated energy radiating throughout my being. It was as if an invisible thread connected me to Lin, and that thread was tugging me relentlessly toward the door.No matter how much I try to shake it off, it still lingered, getting heated right under my skin and making me even more restless.Gently, I laid our sleeping baby on the bed, swaddled in the softest blankets. My gaze lingered on his innocent face, and for a moment, I brushed a gentle finger against his cheek. He was a precious reminder of our love, and my heart ached to hold him close.Turning to Ethan, my seven-year-old son, I knelt before him, my hands on his small shoulders. "Ethan," I began, my voice gentle but firm, "Mommy needs to go out for a little while. I need you to be a big, brave boy and watch over your baby brother and Emily until I come back, okay?"Ethan nodded, his wide eyes filled with det

Lin POV.Chaos reigned, the eerie glow of the moon casting shadows over the relentless clash between our forces and Vincent's rogue wolves. The rogues kept multiplying in numbers since our initial encounter, and their determination was palpable, as if they were been driven by an unquenchable thirst for power.Leon, his eyes reflecting both exhaustion and unwavering determination, has been at the forefront of the defense. When it seem like our efforts were going to waste, his voice filtered through my mind, strained but resolute. "Lin, I don’t think we can hold them off much longer, it's like they're being fueled by some unseen force. They just keep coming."Zack, his wolf form mirroring my own determination, chimed in, "Leon's right. It's possible the gem is their power source. We need to find it and neutralize it if we want to break their momentum."My gaze swept over our burning village that was swimming with rogues, searching for any signs of the gem's presence.

Lin’s POV.Apologies flowed naturally from my lips as I navigated then dark path towards the safe house, Meghan and our children nestled securely behind me, Rachel and Zack not very far behind. My heart was still heavy with Meghan’s demand for me to leave.I know this night was far from being over with an uncertain outcome but one thing I do know was in the fact that, I was going to keep Meghan and the kids safe.I couldn't help but turn to Zack, who presence was now beside me. "I'm truly sorry about the gem," I said, my voice sincere. "It falling into the wrong hands was my fault. I should have known this was going to end in one of her betrayal."Zack's response was reassuring, his voice steady. "Lin, it's alright," he replied. "In the heat of the moment, we all make choices we later regret. What's important is that we're focused on protecting the people that matter”I nodded in agreement, appreciating his understanding. We were united in our determination to safeguard our packs and

Lin's POVAs I knelt beside Meghan and the kids, the weight of my actions pressed upon me like a leaden shroud. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a painful reminder of the recklessness that had nearly cost us everything. Tears welled in my eyes, a mixture of relief at seeing my family unharmed and the overwhelming guilt for what I had put them through. I was a fool to trust that woman. I should have listened to Meghan when she wanted her out of our lives but I thought she could lead us to the solution to our problem.Sniffing back my tears, I leaned away, my gaze barely meeting hers. “I’m sorry, so sorry!”Meghan looked confused as her gaze bore into mine, her eyes a complex tapestry of emotions. “Lin, none of this is your fault.. If there is anyone to be blamed then it’s that vile woman”I shook my head, “No, you don’t understand.. I’m to blame too, I didn’t push her away when she offered. I let my emotions get the best of me and I gave him to temptation and we…we”“…Stop!, d

Meghan’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I clutched Emily and Ethan close, their small bodies fitting into my arms perfectly. The room had descended into utter chaos, the snarls of the intruding wolves piercing the air like a dreadful symphony.Panic threatened to claw its way into my heart, but I couldn't afford to succumb—not with the safety of my children hanging in the balance."Remember all we've practiced," I implored, my voice a steady anchor amidst the turmoil. I wished I could help - oh, how I wished so - but I was pretty much tucked out at the moment. It was a bother to even keep my eyes open! I had to fight just to stay awake. Over these few months, Lin had diligently drilled them on the basics of self-defense, honing their instincts and abilities. Now, in this moment of peril, that training was going to become their greatest ally.Ethan, standing steadfast by my side, made a promise that sent both pride and trepidation coursing through me.
