***Alana's POV***I woke up, only to see my mates at my side. I saw Aiden rubbing my feet, with so much tenderness, while Caden placed some flowers in a vase.Jayden on the other hand is peeling apples in a tray.I still can't believe that these were my bullies who only wanted to hurt me. To see them act this way is truly perplexing. It's as though their changes happen daily. Now I can't tell what's the real side to them.One moment they are like wild beasts, on other occasions, they seem to be like meek lambs. Their change of attitude is beginning to make me wonder how all this came to be.I had said that I wanted to leave the pack for good with my mom, but seeing how nice they are to me, I wouldn't deny the fact that I was having second thoughts about the whole situation. But to be honest, there's no way I'm choosing them over my peace and revenge.I'm only this way for the moment.*“Argh!”The loud scream I heard immediately made me jolt awake from bed. I opened my eyes. I realize
**Alana's POV ***As soon as I said the words, the wolf which had been hiding immediately jumped out of the woods.I moved backwards and stood on high alert, ready for battle.But strangely, this wolf didn't attack me as any enemy wolf would do. Rather, he walked around me. I could tell that he was cautious, but at the same time, it doesn't look like he was going to attack me.This made me even more curious. I don't remember seeing such a wolf before. I walked around as well, looking at it.Though he's in his wolf form, I wasn't scared of it."Well aren't you going to attack me? I remember that's what others would have done. Just then, he paused and slowly moved back.What was he trying to do now? I watched him suspiciously, and suddenly, I noticed it was shifting back into its human form. I stood dead on my tracks, watching it transform until he fully became human.He turned around to face me as I was terribly desperate to see who it was.To my greatest shock, it was none other than
***Alana's POV**It's been two weeks since I've had direct communication with Stephan. He tells me whatever plans there is, and I'm so grateful that he doesn't keep me out of the plans.Tomorrow, the Blood Rose Pack will be attacked, and it still baffles me that the almighty Alpha Wade does not know about this. I mean, was he supposed to know? The only thing he's been focused upon on these while was my mom. All he ever did was torture the life out of her. I truly hate him to pieces.Knowing Alpha Wade had left the pack, I decided to go to my mom's room the moment the maid opened the doors. Alpha Wade seemed to be quite busy these few days for reasons I can't tell, but I think this is a good opportunity for me and I can't miss the opportunity which is being presented.I walked slightly into my mom's room, just so I wouldn't alert anyone and then I walked in.“Alana, it's you!” My mom said in excitement. Looking at her now, she looks even more terrible than I had last seen her and this
**Alana's POV **“I'm so sorry Alana, but I can't do that. You can ask me for anything except this.“Aiden, please don't say no. I've not seen my mom for a while now. You have no idea just how bad I feel about not seeing her.”“I'm sorry things had to happen this way. But you know I don't have a right over her room except my dad. He alone has access to her room. If he finds out that I let you in, you won't be spared and neither will I. Worst of it all, he could stop us from ever getting close to you.”There's no way I'm letting this go. This was the only opportunity I've got to take my mom out of here.“Aiden…” I pleaded with puppy eyes while walking closer to him.“No one will know if you let me in. I just want to see her, that's all. And asides that, if you do this for me, I will reward you whichever way you want,” I said the words while leaning into his ears.He grabbed a hold of my waist and pulled me closer to himself.“Alana, why are you doing this to me? You know for a fact tha
**Caden's POV**“Mom, don't you want to leave here? I can make a way out for us. All I ask is that you agree to come with me.”I froze when I heard what Alana had said.“Alana you should know by now that Alpha Wade will never let us off, regardless of what we do. Please do not make the situation even more complicated than it already is.“Mom! You're letting your fears get the best of you. Why don't you believe me when I say that it's best if we leave here.”I couldn't just stay put and eavesdrop on this conversation anymore, and so I pushed the door open and barged in. When they saw me, I could see fear in their eyes.“Alana, did I just hear you right? Do you truly want to leave? Why? What exactly is the reason you want to leave? Tell me!” I demanded.“Don't ask me these questions, Caden. You of all people should know why I want to leave!”I can't believe this. Seeing Alana's expression, I could tell that she never changed her mind about us. And here I thought she was beginning to see
**Stephan's POV **“Stephan, must you go?”I looked at Taylor and nodded my head."I have to. This is my official duty, and I also need to save someone. I know she is probably waiting for me to come to her rescue. I know she must need me to be there and for that reason, I can't abandon her.“You are not abandoning her, but then you make me feel like you care so much about her.”“Let's not go over this anymore, please. I'll be back."“Of course. It's just that I do not wish to lose you to anyone, that's all.”“You won't Taylor, I'm here for you.”With that said, I marched into the woods with some soldiers.We are headed to the territory of the Blood Rose Pack to see what we can find about our enemy.Just as I approached the border, I noticed there was unrest in the woods, and that was accompanied by the sound of growls. Immediately I turned around and signaled my men to be on their tracks. I wonder if the chaos has something to do with Alana's escape.After staying in hiding for a few
**Stephan's POV **“My father had always believed that I was weak, and so he never liked me. He preferred my sister to me, but in reality, she's far worse than I am. But let's not talk about that. The thing is, the whole essence of sending me to the Blood Rose Pack was to test If I was strong enough to lead his pack.”“So, this means you were never loved by your dad.”“You're right. You see, after his mate died, he decided to be promiscuous and ended up getting an omega pregnant. We all know how weak an omega is, don't we?”“So then, he must have thought you were weak since you have an omega blood?”“You're right. It's not just him who thinks this way, the entire pack elders feel the same way. Moreover, my sister believes I'm in a competition with her, and so she doesn't hesitate to paint me bad just so the Alpha would think she's the best candidate. But then, the goddess was on my side, and so she sent a witch to my side.”“Wow…now I understand what happened that day. So, it was the
**Alana's POV **“Miss Alana, your mother's illness is caused due to her separation from her mate. She had been bonded with him, and you must know that bonded mates cannot be separated. To worsen it, her mate seemed to be suffering from a particular disease and he must be having an episode as we speak. And this is the reason your mother is this way.”“That bastard!” I yelled in anger.Even though we had left his pack for good, he still doesn't want to let us have peace.How could he mark my mom when she's already marked by my dad? I will never forgive this!Immediately, I turned towards the doctor desperately and held him by the hand.“Tell me, doctor, is there no way to stop this illness on the side of my mom? I mean she can't be like this.”“I would have been able to help you if only she hadn't been marked, but she has been marked and the only way to stop this was if there's a rejection from both parties.”“If that's the case, let's make do with that," Stephan stated.“You don't und
**Alana's POV***As soon as I went to the visitor's hall, I was shocked to see my mom, pacing worriedly. I could tell she's this way because she wanted to see me.“Mom!” I called out, and she looked in my direction.When she saw me, she instantly went wide in shock and rushed over to meet me with arms wide open.“Oh, my dear! I'm so glad to see you.”“Mom, thank goodness!” I said with eyes closed as I pulled her into a deep, warm hug with eyes closed.Just then, she moved away and pulled away from the hug at once. At first, I was confused why she acted that way. I noticed as she looked down at my stomach and let out a loud gasp.“Oh, my goodness! You're pregnant, Alana.” She exclaimed, wide-eyed.“Yes, mom.” I said with tears in my eyes. She instantly bursts into tears while looking at me. “This is the best thing I've seen so far. My dear, I'm so proud of you,” she muttered, with tears trickling down her eyes.“I'm pleased you are, mom. You do not know just how much I've wanted to sho
***Alana's POV***What? I stood up all at once. I can't believe what I just heard.“What are you talking about, Marcus?”“Like I earlier mentioned, I would rather not bring this matter to you, knowing it's a delicate matter.”“What do you mean, sensitive matter? You ought to have brought this to my notice before now!” I said, getting up from my chair.“My pack is being attacked, and I'm the last to know?”I was on the verge of going mad.“Luna, please calm down. We are letting you know because like I earlier said, the Alphas are on an important mission.”“So, what are you suggesting?”The elders all stared at one another.“Since it has come to this, we can as well choose the strongest in our pack to protect them.”“Hell no, that would never happen. You don't expect me to just sit here and wait. I'm worried about death.”“What are you talking about, Luna?” Marcus asked and the other elders all looked at me with a surprised expression.I came in front of them, my hands on my hips and my
***James POV***“W…what? You can't be serious about what you just said, Alpha.”“Don't be like that, James. I'm very much serious about what I just said. I see no one else leading the pack besides you.”“But this is too much. Are you abandoning your pack?”“What do you mean? I'll never abandon my pack. It's just that I have to be with my mates, and I guess I don't need to explain why. Now that you have a mate, I'm sure you know how it is.”James shut his eyes and took a deep breath.I understand you, Alpha Alana. But if you give up on the pack now, it'll appear you're trying to give up on your father's hard work.”“Oh please don't talk like that. You know I'll never give up. Okay, let's put things this way. Let's say I'm putting you in charge of the pack for the meantime, that I'll not be there. What do you say about that?”At this moment, I noticed his worried expression slowly relaxed.“If you put things this way, then I'll gladly watch over the pack for you.”I smiled, now that he
***Alana's POV**My mom's mind was set to go back to the Rising Moon Pack, and there's nothing I can do to change her mind. To be honest, I wouldn't deny the fact that she's going back to where she belongs.The only thing that makes me feel sad is the fact that it was only after I've chosen to stay in the Blood Rose Pack, she wanted to go back home.In no later time, I was informed that James and Michelle are here.“Mom, the beta is here. I guess we should go see them.”My mom agreed, and we all set out to welcome them.Just as I was about to embrace Michelle, I noticed a bump that made me look downwards, and to my greatest shock, it was her tummy.Instantly, I lifted my gaze up at Michelle.”“Oh, my goodness! Is this what I think it is?” I asked, wide-eyed.She nodded her head shyly while rubbing her stomach.“My goodness! I'm so proud of you.” I pulled Michelle into a warm hug. While we were hugging, James suddenly came over.“James!” I called out the moment he showed up. I slowly p
**Alana's POV**After the coming together of all werewolf packs, I decided to go over to my mate only to see them having a silent conversation which made him raise a brow. I couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about so seriously and I slowly approached them.I should have known that no matter how careful I was, it wouldn't stop them from sensing me. They all turned around towards my direction at once.“My goodness! What were you all discussing that you all seemed to me in deep thoughts?”“Uhm, Alana,” Jayden was about to say when Caden and Aiden immediately grabbed him and covered his lips immediately.This was confusing.“What's going on? Why are you suddenly trying to stop him from speaking?” I asked.“It's nothing, Alana. Do not mind whatever that may come out from the lips of Jayden.”Aiden stated.Now, I'm more than curious to find out exactly what they are hiding from me. They seemed to be acting suspiciously so I couldn't help but wonder what all this was about.“Ho
**Alana's POV*“Alana!” My mates screamed and immediately rushed towards me. Caden pulled me up in his chest, but I was weak. I could hardly lift myself up and blood was dripping out of my mouth. It is no joke that I was dying.If I could sustain this much impact, I wonder how my wolf was. “Darling!” I heard my mom's voice as she rushed over to meet me. At this point, my mates let her carry me in her embrace.“Darling, why did you have to sacrifice yourself for them? If I had known this is what you had planned, I never would have given my powers to you!” She said and cried bitterly."Please don't cry mom, I'm okay.”“No you're not! You're not okay at all, you're dying.” My mom bursts into more tears. My mates let out painful growls. I wanted to tell them that it was okay, but I couldn't even speak anymore. To be honest, I could feel my powers slowly depleting. It wouldn't be long before all of my powers will be exhausted. By then I seriously don't know what I'll do.“Luna Hanna, what
***Alana's POV**The fight became bloodier because my mates didn't hesitate to kill the monsters but I feel sorry for them. They shouldn't die this way because it's not their fault that they became monsters. Rather it was the fault of Ralph.Even as my mates were fighting Ralph and injured him on his neck, he didn't stop laughing hysterically. "No matter what you do to me, my greatest happiness is the fact that I've taken revenge for my mate!" He said with blood gushing out of his mouth."You don't deserve to be kept alive. What makes you think getting rid of the entire werewolf race is what your mate want. You think she never had anyone she cared for while in the pack? She had a brother, bastard!"Aiden yelled at him angrily. Ralph looked somewhat shocked to hear this."What do you mean? You're lying to me. My mate does not have anyone.""Don't you think you're ridiculous? How dare you take revenge on an entire race when you don't even know your mate well enough?"Now that Aiden said
***Alana's POV***We just watched Ralph struggle with himself because as much as the chains burned his skin, it made him weak as well. This was exactly what we wanted. Something to make him weak, this way we'll be able to get the upper hand over things.While watching him, we noticed his growl was beginning to get lesser and lesser. This shows to a great extent that our plans are working out fine. Thanks to the goddess."You think you can kill me? I'm afraid to tell you that's impossible. You know why? Because I have armies everywhere. You all say I'm being cruel, have you any idea what they did to me?""What more could they have done to you to make you behave this way?" Jayden asked. Ralph suddenly began laughing like a maniac. "Have you ever spared the time to ask yourselves why I'm able to turn the Werewolves to what they are now? You think I would have been able to do that with just my vampire powers?"He was making sense."So, how why you like this? How come you can make werewolve
***Alana's POV***As soon as we appeared in the cave, I was shocked to see Ralph' inside, standing in front of us with his hands folded behind him. The growls we heard was coming from monsters which I just realized was chained in cages.They seemed to be screaming to be released. The place smells awful and I realise this was as a result of Blood. Just what the fuck had this vampire turned into."The nerve you have to stay calm after seeing us.". Aiden said with boiling anger bit never approached Ralph. This was because during our meeting we advised ourselves never to fight Ralph head on no matter how annoying he possess to be."I should welcome you all to my grand cave. What do you think about these creatures I created? They are magnificent, aren't they?"Looking at what he calls magnificent made me indeed realized that he had truly gone nuts. I mean, no sane person would do that which he had done to Werewolves."Ralph, last time we talked, I tried persuading you to stop what you're d
