**Alana's POV***“Alana, haven't we apologized for our shortcomings? Why do you still hold such a grudge against us?”“Because you all kept repeating the same thing!”“Okay, let's say we understand why you had to leave. Tell us, how did you survive these years without our help? How did you end up with the rogues?” Aiden asked.Still the same senseless questions I do not want to find answers to, but then, I realize that they only wanted to know how I was faring."What do you think? I don't think you understand I was originally a rogue from the Rising Moon Pack. It is only right for me to build back the pack your father destroyed. And please keep in mind, your father murdered mine. I still haven't settled on that score!”“Alana, when will you let this go? We understand that it's painful to know that the father of your mates murdered your dad. Just give us a chance, and we will pay for his crimes by doing the things you want us to do.” Aiden said in a slow tone.It's rare to see him this
**Alana's POV**Their expressions seemed to me like they weren't going to agree to my demands, but I'll make them, anyway.“The Rising Moon pack was never a pack that fought for dominance. My father wanted a haven for those who do not fit into packs. He never for once, attacked any pack. Rather, he helped banished pack members who had turned rogues and give them shelter.”They still didn't say a word to my explanation.“If you think I'm lying about what I just said, you can as well ask your father what the rogue pack did to him to deserve the massacre.”“Alana, please don't get mad. We didn't actually say a word to your explanations because we are worried that standing on your own will attract many enemies your way.”“You don't need to tell me about it. I know, and I'm not scared.”“Does this mean you already have a plan concerning this?”“Of course I do. If I don't make plans, don't you think I'll be heading for doom?”“Then let us hear what plans you have.” Aiden demanded, looking g
**Alana's POV***“Alright. If that's what you want, you're free to do so.” Aiden stated happily. I swiftly turned around and walked away from them.When I came out to the pack's hall, I couldn't find my pack soldiers. Where could they have gone?I instantly mind linked James, who told me they were in the fields. I speedily headed over there and saw them looking at the pack soldiers training in the fields. A smile spread on my face seeing them so invested.I walked down to where James was standing. “I guess coming to the Blood Rose Pack wasn't that bad after all,” I uttered. James turned around to face me and his face lit up. “Alpha, you're back.”“Yes. Take a walk with me,” I said and led the way, walking slowly.“So, what happened? You were gone for long, and it took all the self-control in me not to barge into your meeting place and whisk you away.”I couldn't help but chuckle at James' words.“Good thing you didn't do that.”“Of course I'm not that stupid. I know any minor mistake
**Jayden's POV**I took him to his room, and looked him in the eye, "if you know what's good for you, then I'll suggest you stay put and not cause any more problems,” I warned.“Aren't you the same as your brothers? I gave you free advice, but it seems you are hell-bent on choosing the rough part. Well, be my guest!” James said angrily before retiring to his room. I folded my hands in a tight fist. If not for Alana, I definitely would have hit him in the stomach. How brazen he was for what he did.Just then, I thought about my mate. I wonder what Aiden and Caden are up to with our mate. Shit! I need to stop them as soon as possible, before they make a mistake they'll end up regretting. I'm sure their wolf has taken over by now.Aiden and Caden are so unaware of what our mate wants. Therefore James will always be better than us in her eyes. I've got to stop them.With that in mind, I marched all the way to the room and, to my greatest shock, they lay Alana on the bed. Her hands and fee
**Alana's POV***My mom narrated everything that happened to her after I had left. Honestly, what she told me wasn't what I had expected to hear. I thought she'd tell me how badly she was being treated in the Blood Rose pack.“Mom, you mean you weren't treated for the years I was gone?”“I wasn't my love. Isn't it strange? When you left, I was so ready for whatever treatment I might have to face, but was shocked when none of that happened to me.”This baffled me greatly. So, Caden was right when he said my mom had been living in comfort. I didn't believe what he said back then because I thought he was saying all that just to get me to go back to the pack. What excites me most was when my mom told me Alpha Wade still hasn't woken up from coma. Finally, the goddess is on our side."Alana, tell me, didn't you notice something different about your mates? I was hard on them, but I didn't fail to notice just how much they've changed over the years.“Mom, to be honest, I saw these changes ev
**Alana's POV***I shut my eyes and summoned Amalia, who answered immediately, and the next thing I knew I was on all fours. My wolf glowed as usual, and it attracted both the enemies and soldiers of the Blood Rose pack. I strolled towards the enemies, who all stared at me with great fear.I growled loudly and the monsters all fell to their knees and roared out in pain. Those who could escape ran for their dear lives.“Shut your ears if you do not wish to perish with the enemies!” James screamed out from behind me. Everyone shut their ears, but my mates did not. They all shifted into their wolf forms and gathered around me as I growled.They seemed to form a protective cover around me until the enemies surrendered, with some dead and others injured.When I was done, we all turned back into our human forms, and I must say that my mates looked at me differently. I can imagine just how shocked they must feel.“Take the survivors to the dungeons for questioning!” Aiden ordered his soldier
**Jayden's POV***As I walked back to my room, I couldn't help but reprimand myself for being so foolish. How did I not realize that I was about to do the same thing I had advised my brothers not to do?Alana wanted us to treat her nicely and not like a slave. I understand all that, but then, I was still the one who broke the promise and did that which I'm not supposed to do. How could I have been so stupid?Getting to my room, I laid on my bed, contemplating what I had done earlier. I wouldn't deny the fact that when I kissed her, my wolf wanted more. I was sex starving, and I wanted sex with no one but her.I can't tell how long I've been rolling in bed for, but when I looked up at the wall clock, it was 1: am. Shit! I can't believe I've been awake until midnight.Suddenly, I heard Aiden and Caden's door. I knew it was them because my room was in between theirs. I can tell when their room doors openvir closes.Where could they be heading to at this time of the night? To race their w
**Alana's POV***“We've been awake since your conversation with Jayden.”They all smiled, looking at me with so much happiness. I wouldn't deny that seeing them all happy made me calm. It appeared I could trust them, even though I knew that would be a risk on my part."Alana, you seem to have been stressed these days. Why don't you take a few days to rest?” Aiden asked.I looked at the others, and judging from their expressions, I could tell that they share the same view as Aiden."So, you want me to stay behind so you can have your dubious ways with me, huh?”“What? Of course not. Didn't we all fall asleep together, Alana?” Caden asked.“Yes, we did,” I replied with a raised brow.“If we could all sleep together without touching you, doesn't this prove that you are safe with us?”Aiden asked with a grin.“You want me to believe that I'm safe with you?”“Not that. You're our mate, and it's only right for us to treat you with care.”From Aiden's expression, I could tell that he meant e
