**Alana's POV***My mouth fell ajar the moment I heard this. This must be a joke or even a dream. I shut my eyes briefly and opened them again.“Wait, can you repeat what you just said?”James moved close and leaned in as if I would be able to recognize him this way, but the truth is I still do not recognise him at all.“I know this would be hard for you. My real name is Henry Connor. Do you remember me now?”“Henry Connor….” I trailed off, trying to recall. Then I realized there was truly someone named Henry Connor in my former Pack. But the Henry I know was ever shy and never associated himself with his colleagues and always lived like an outcast even though they accepted him with open arms.“So, you're shy Henry, who always grew his hair covering his eyes?”James chuckled heartily. “That's a great way to describe me.”I couldn't help but chuckle as well. I would be honest that seeing someone I know from the Rising Moon Pack after what took place was comforting.“Tell me, Alana, wha
***Aiden's POV***“Have you checked the other packs I told you about?”“I did just as you asked, Alpha, but there's still no sign of Miss Alana,” my beta reported."That would be all. You can leave now.”As soon as he left my office, which originally used to be my dad's, I stood up from my chair and began pacing from one end to the next. I was confused and didn't know what to do with my present self.My dad has been in a coma for almost a year now. And Luna Hana had always kept herself locked in her room ever since she woke up even though she wasn't indeed locked and key.“Alpha Aiden, the council meeting is about to start, and you are needed there.”My beta announced. I snapped away from my deep thoughts and followed my beta to the hall.My other brothers should work by my side as Alphas, but they had refused to do so, reasons being that they are focused on trying to find our mate. Though that didn't make them useless.Getting to the hall, the elders who all sat down murmuring immedi
***Aiden's POV**Caden and Jayden took another glance at one another, then directed their gaze towards me.“You understand what we mean, don't you?”I heaved a deep sigh.“You think she went back into being rogue since she's originally a rogue to begin with?”“You can't be too sure or dismiss the matter. This report is coming for the third time. We dismissed the two others before, but a third complaint is alarming.”“If that's the case, I guess we all know what her aim is, don't we?”“I don't know. If she wanted her mom, she could have come to us directly. She didn't have to wage a war to request for what she can easily get,” Caden uttered.“Be honest with me, Caden. If she had come ordinarily to ask for her mother, would you have let her go?”Caden looked at me but couldn't reply to my question.“Aiden, you seem to be different whenever we talk about our mate these days. What could be the problem?”“Well, if you both had explained things to me properly, I surely wouldn't have been th
**Alana's POV*James sat across from the mess we were eating lunch, but that's not the situation at hand. It was the fact that all eyes were on us.I took my gaze to James, who didn't seem to be bothered with what was happening.“James, did you realize the atmosphere is getting too cold?” I asked, with my gaze fixated on the girls who were staring at us without blinking an eye.“I don't think I understand what you mean,” James replied, munching on his sandwich. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, seeing this.“Don't tell me you're so clueless that you don't know what I'm talking about.”“I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.”I folded my hands into a tight fist at the response James gave. How can he act this foolish? I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about."“Why? You seemed quite pissed.”“Why won't I be when you're acting so dumb, for goodness’ sake!”Just then James stood up, “hold on, I should get some water, I'm quite thirsty.” He said and dashed away.It didn'
***Fancy's POV**“Oh, I'm sorry I didn't make an introduction. Actually, I saved her and her brother years ago when they were banished from their pack. Ever since then, they've become great members of our small community. You know, our rules, we don't take in beasts or unrepentant sinners.”Listening to James' words made me feel fly. It's so wonderful, knowing that someone actually stood in place of my dad to do the things he used to do, which to me is satisfying.Just then, I noticed the girl looked in James' direction before walking away. Without being told, I could tell that there was something wrong, though I do not know what that might be.“Uhm Alana, please excuse me. I promise that'll be back soon,” he said. I nodded my head and let him go. What surprised me more was that he was actually going in the direction the girl went.Now I'm more than convinced that there's something going on which they don't want others to know or what others didn't feel the need to know.With that in
**Alana's POV***“Well, just like I said, you can't stop a little girl from dreaming about the man that she wants. Now if you'll look ahead of you, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean,” I said in a whisper, not sparing a glance at Candice.James must have noticed her too, considering how he arched his brow.“Well do you believe me now?” I asked.“I don't actually see anything here to make me believe you or not. She's just being who she has always been.”I rolled my eyes to the back of my head when James said this. I wonder what I'll have to do for him to believe me at the rate at which things are going.“Alright, since you don't believe me, I guess there's no way out of this.”With that, I placed my palm on his shoulders and leaned in. This was expected to be all a pretense just to rile Candice up, but James, on the other hand, must be thinking something different, considering how he pulled my waist towards him.“If this is what you want, why not make it real?”“What the hell is wr
**Alana's POV***“James, you don't understand -”“Understand? How many times have I told you not to trouble Alana that she's not the enemy.”“I'm sorry, I know I was wrong,” Candice said with a sad expression which made me feel sad.“How can you be sorry when I talked to you about it.”Immediately I rushed towards James, “it's okay. Actually she's not here to reprimand me, matter of fact, Candice and I have become friends.”“What?” James muttered with a confused expression. I hurried over to where Candice stood and held her hands. “See, I'm not lying about what I'm saying,” I looked in Candice's direction who was smiling as well.James gave us a skeptical look, which made me realize he was trying to see if any of us were faking it or not.Just as we were doing this, I heard screams coming from the rogues. Immediately, James and I took quick glances at one another before rushing to the rogues to find out what was happening.Getting there, it shocked me to see a group of rogues, looking
**Alana's POV***“Ouch!” the rogue blurted out, seeing that I had defeated him hands down. "You can come as long as you think you can defeat me,” I said to the others, who watched in disbelief.Just as I had said, some new rogues tested their skills by attacking me first.They all tried to bring me down, but I threw them off despite how many they were. By the time I was done with them, they all laid on the floor, wincing and writhing on the ground in pain.“Is there anyone among you that still wishes to defeat me?” I asked as I narrowed my gaze at the crowd. They took a quick glance at one another, and some group of rogue werewolves came out, “we'll all defeat you at once!” They said and didn't give me the chance to prepare before attacking me.But then, what they didn't realize was the fact that I was used to fighting a group of soldiers. I learned this from the wolf pack. By the time I was done, they all fell to the ground, breathing heavily.I heard cheers and murmurs among the rog
**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
