**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
**Alana's POV**“I'm sorry, but it is my duty to protect my Luna. There's no way I'm letting you near her.”“How dare you obstruct me?!” Caden raised his fist to hit James, but I screamed out to stop him. “Don't you dare hurt him, Caden!”Caden turned his gaze towards me. From his expression, I could almost tell that he hates me.“How could you be so cruel, Alana? Why can't you see that what you're doing will only make us hate your beta!”“Things wouldn't have gotten to this point if only you're willing to listen to me. You have refused to understand me or what I'm saying. How can we ever agree?”“We are your mates and hence we have a right to talk to you about what you shouldn't do!” Aiden yelled.“And this is the reason we can never be together!” I screamed out at him.“You never listen to me, how do you expect me to listen to you, then?!”If only they could understand the reason I was saying this, but they rather stared at me as if I were the bad guy. Why do they always do this to
***Aiden's POV**My brothers and I mourned the departure of our mate and wondered why she couldn't be with us. Why does it seem like she's fallen for James?She listens to him more than me and my brothers.Just as we were about to disperse, one of the pack soldiers charged into the hall to meet us.“Alpha, there's trouble outside the pack. We are being attacked again.” He said, panting.“What?” My brothers and I exclaimed at once.I dashed over to the soldier, “Who is attacking?”“The monsters, and it turns out that Luna and her men are being attacked as well.”The moment I heard this, I looked in the direction of my brothers, who went wide in shock.Without time-wasting, Jayden stormed out of the pack house. Caden and I followed behind quickly.“Why did she have to insist on leaving, knowing the enemies could attack again?” Caden complained as he marched to the battleground.“I swear I'll kill them if anything happens to my mate!” Jayden said in a rage. There's no need to talk about
***Caden's POV**I rushed over to Aiden to see what he was trying to show us. “Did you see the burnt bodies? It appeared there was a fire during the battle.”“You're right, Aiden. From what you've observed, what wolf do you think has the power to burn monsters with their growls?”“The…moon wolves!” Aiden said at once.“What? If that's the case, isn't it obvious that the person who might have done this is our mate?” Jayden asked. I nodded my head and so did Aiden.“Indeed, it was our mate who was responsible for this.”“She's indeed the moon wolf.” Aiden muttered.“I had never for once, doubted what she said though, brother. Did you actually doubt her back then?” Jayden asked.Aiden shook my head.“Not doubting her. Just that I didn't pay that much attention to what she said. The only thing I knew back then was that I wanted her to stay in the pack. I didn't want her to be far away from us.”“Well, that's understandable.” Just as we were talking about this, I suddenly caught a sweet sc
**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
