Jacobs POVI went over to prepare our army for the war that we were about going to. As I stood in the war room with our general, I couldn't help but think of Nixie and what happened between us. I was still saddened and my heart still ached. I was busy in the weapons room when I heard the door slowly creaked open. I had thought that it was Alpha Titan who had come to check up on me and I was shocked to see that it was not him but Clara. The spear that I was holding in my hands clattered to the floor as a certain feeling came over my body. It was the same feeling that I felt when I met with Charlotte. A certain realization suddenly came over me. Was Clara also my mate?"Um, Jacob," Clara said as she walked towards me. "I, um, heard what happened between you and Charlotte. Is it true that you're mates?" I could see the pain that was in her eyes. I knew that she was saddened that her sister was my mate."It's true, Clara," I said as I ran my fingers through my hair. "I and Charlotte are
Titans POV"Yes," Alpha Herald replied with a sigh. "As you know, we are the only alphas that responded to Alphas Grayson's call. The rest have been squaddled up in their pack compound, seeking protection.""We don't need much armies," Alpha Damien said in his deep bass voice that sent shudders down my spine. "The witches and alpha Lucian will go down,I assure you that. The four of us, with help from the moon goddess, will bring them to their death.""True," I said as I arranged the helmet on my head and adjusted my heavy armor. I looked back and saw Jacob on his horse. He had his helmet on but I didn't need to see his face to know how he was feeling. I just prayed that he was emotionally strong enough to go through with the war."Now that we are all here, I suggest that we be on our way," Alpha Grayson said as he brought down his visor and covered his face. "We don't have much time. Queen Zelda and Lucian are already on their way to the valley of death and we have to get there before
Alana's POV"You're doing what?" I asked with a frown. I just couldn't believe what Nixie was saying."I want to go back to the human world," Nixie said again, confirming what I had heard her say before. She sniffed before she continued, "I have to go back to my place. That is where I belong."Why was she deciding all of a sudden to leave the pack and move back to the human world? And why did she call their her place? Was she feeling uncomfortable here? Was anyone making her feel out of place?"Why are you thinking of going back?" I asked her. "Why do you want to leave? Is anyone making you feel uncomfortable? Is it because of your fathers death?""No," she said as she looked up at me, about tearing up again. "You haven't heard?""Heard what?" I asked. "Is there something that's been happening that I do not know about?""No, not at all," Nixie replied with a light painful chuckled. "Just that Jacob just got mated by the moon goddess today." "He got mated?" I hadn't heard anything abo
Alana's POV"What do you think you're doing, Caleb?" I asked as I helped him onto a small stool. "Why are you dressed up in this armor? Don't you know you're bleeding?""I-I need... I need to g-get to T-titan," Caleb said as he tried to get up from the stool, failing with each try."Get to Titan?" I asked confused. "What for? Why do you need to get to him?""I need.... I n-need to get t-to the war," Caleb stuttered as he launched himself to his feet, almost falling over if not for my help. He pushed away my hand from his side and stumbled to where the belt laid. He then picked it up and began putting it around his armor again, groaning anytime it went around his belly."Stop!" I screamed as I grabbed the belt from him. "Don't you know you're hurting yourself? You aren't fully recovered yet.""I am s-strong enough to f-fight, Alana," Caleb said with clenched teeth as he snatched the belt back from me. "Strong enough to fight?" I half screamed. "What do you mean by that? Is that why yo
Caleb's POVI watched as Titan left Alana to the gate to meet with his warriors. I then proceeded to sneak into the weapons room as Alana's back was still turned against me.I slowly walked out from behind the weapons room, where I hid, and proceeded to the door. I had dropped the crutches behind so the pain that I was feeling before multiplied. Everywhere began spinning again and my head began to pound real hard. I held my aching head as I paused by the stairs to catch my breadth. The bandage around my belly was now soaked with sweat and I could feel a stinging pain as the salty sweat came in contact with my wound. I turned around to see if Alana had seen me but she was still staring at the gate. Slowly and carefully, I began to climb up the stairs, trying my very best to ignore the pain that was radiating through my body.I reached the top after much struggle and decided to rest for some seconds. Suddenly, from the corner of my eyes, I saw Alana turning from the gate, towards where

Titans POVI stared at the open field in front of me. Vultures screeched above me and some poured down to the field to devour the deer carcass that laid there.Kargo and Jacob stood by my right side, staring at me and speaking in whispers. I did not mind. They could say whatever they wanted. My mind was pretty occupied at the moment.We had moved from the valley of death to the open field a little bit far off north from our pack compound. Jacob and Kargo had pleaded for me to go to the pack compound with them but I refused it. I decided it best to sit here in the pouring rain and think everything that was happening through.What the shaman had said to us still stuck in my head, unable to leave. No matter how hard I had tried to wipe it off my mind, it still stayed. I wanted so much to not believe what he had said but I didn't find a reason not to no matter how hard I tried.I had wanted to ask him who the wolf prints that we had seen belonged to but he disappeared just as fast as he h
Lucian's POVWe marched into the pack compound, waving at the people who had gathered at the gate. The elders too had gathered and they bowed down as I passed by, having the knowing look in their eyes. I knew they were mad at me for my behavior recently. Now that I didn't have any reason to go after Alana again, I made a mental note to speak with the elders later and apologize to them for my behavior. But first, I had to meet with Diana."Where's Diana?" I asked one of the guards that was standing beside my horse. I immediately recognized who I was talking to and rephrased my question. "Where is your Luna?""I do not know, Alpha, Lucian," the guard responded as he bowed down slightly. I tapped his shoulders and gave him the reins of my horse before walking away to look for Diana. I walked over to the infirmary to search for her, thinking that's where she would be since Flora was taking care of her and the baby but I didn't find her there. The whole place was empty. It was then that I
Diana's POVI sat on my bed as hot tears poured from my eyes. Lucian's actions now we're beginning to hurt more than before. I didn't know why he couldn't acknowledge the fact that my daughter and I were more than enough for him. Whenever I asked him why he could not do that, he would always denied it and tell me that he did know that I and his daughter were enough for him. But then if I asked him why he was still going after Alana, he would keep mute.His behavior was beginning to sicken and annoy but it was also beginning to worry me. I didn't know what would happen if he wins Titan in the fight and brings Alana home. If she does get pregnant, Lucian would begin to prioritize her over I and his daughter. She might even give birth to a son which would make matters worse."Arrrrgh," I mumbled as I pulled at my hair. Thinking about everything was draining my energy but I still had not come to any conclusion that would be of help to me. I knew if Alana came back to the pack, she would d
Lucians POV"We went after her but we didn't see her," Titan replied me. "All that we saw were wolf paw prints where she had landed.""I do not fucking believe you, Titan," I said with a growl. I could not believe Titans word. There was no way he did not have Alana with him."I give you my word, Lucian, I am notlyinge," Titan said with a frown. "I am most definitely not with Alana." As Titan said those words, I felt a cold rush over my body. If Alana was not with Titan, where then was she? Had she gone missing? Was she killed? And the wolves paw prints that Titan had seen where she had landed, did that mean that a rival pack had taken her? Or had she been killed by wild wolves? There was no way she could have been killed by wolves as she was a Luna and was powerful enough to bring any wolf to their knees. And if she had been captured by other packs, either I or Titan would have been alerted. If she was not killed and was not taken hostage by other packs, where then was she? As if r
Titans POVI walked into the weapons room and wents straight to the inner room. I picked my battle armor that I had hung on the wall and put it on. I then took Alana's cloth piece and tied it around my sword handle. With a loud sigh, I sheathed my sword and marched outside.Jacob and the twenty warriors were already on their horses and standing by the compound gate, waiting for me. As I walked towards them, I turned to my side and saw Clara and Charlotte standing and watching me as I walked by. I could see the pain in their eyes as they put their gaze on me."What conclusion did you come to after meeting them?" I asked Jacob as I walked up to him."Meeting who?" he asked, handing the reins of my horse to me."Clara and Charlotte," I replied, grabbing the reins. I put my legs on the saddle and pulled myself until the horse with a groan."They blamed themselves for what Nixie did," he said with a croak. "I told them not to. Nixie is a smart grown woman so she knows and understands the c
Alana's POVI stepped out of Johnson's car with my son in my arms and stared at the huge mansion in front of me. The building was so huge and I was confused as to why a man would live in it alone.As if reading my thoughts, Johnson said, "I, my wife, my daughter and my two sons used to live here until they died in an accident.""I'm so sorry," I said as I noticed his sad face.He shrugged and said, "that was four years ago so I'm over it. Still hurts but it's best one takes their mind off somethings because continuously thinking about it can cause more damage than the first pain." As he spoke, I could hear the pain in his voice. He immediately suppressed it and wore a huge smile on his face. "They asked for me to sell the house after they died but I could not," he continued as he closed his car door and locked it with his key. "Couldn't let go of it so I refused to. Now I live in a house with five rooms all alone. Well, at least today will be different," Johnson said, giving me a wa
Lucian's POVI had no trust in Titan and I knew that he would be coming with his army. That was why I decided to come with mine.I walked into my weapons room and began to select my weapons that I would use for the war. I picked up a sword and spear before heading into the armor room.I picked up my armor and stared at the scratches that were on it. I remembered the battle of yesterday and how close I had missed a spear that had been thrown to me. The spear had just missed my side by a hairs breadth but had scratched my armor, giving it a mean mark.I ran my hand over the engraved mark and sighed. I was going to battle again in just under twelve hours. I sighed and placed the worn out armor back on the wall.I then walked over to another that laid on the table and picked it up. It had my packs insignia engraved on it's chest plate and had claw marking by the side.I wore the armor, fully dressed and grabbed my weapons from the table where I had kept them. I then walked over to my helm
Titans POVI sighed as I watched the crow fly away, my letter tied to its feet. I have heard Kargos advice to me but I took the other. He had explained to me why I should let Alana go but I knew not to do that. There was no way I could let Lucian have her after all the evil that he had done to her. There just was no way.His other idea of proposing an Alpha to Alpha battle was good and I decided to go with it. If I was to win, I would have Alana to myself and Lucian would not have any reason to interfere in either I or her affair again. I sighed and stood in front of my room door. The cold wind blew against my face and from the dark clouds that were beginning to gather, I knew that a heavy storm was coming. I looked up at the sky, waiting for Lucian's reply. I knew that there was no way Lucian would deny my request as his pride was too high for that."Has he replied your request?" Jacob asked as he walked up to me. I looked to my side and saw him walking towards me with a small dagg
Alana's POVI woke up to the sound of a beeping monitor. I opened my eyes slowly and looked to my side. I saw a long tube running from a bag hung up on, just like before, a pole was passing the liquid from the bag down into my wrist. I tried to remove it again but my bandaged hand could not do anything.Suddenly, I heard a slight noise.I turned to my side and saw a small stroller standing beside my bed. The stroller shook and a small crying was coming from within. I raised my head slowly and looked inside. A small baby laid within, tossing and turning as it cried.The baby suddenly stopped crying, as if noticing my presence and began to coo happily. I stared at the baby and I didn't know why I felt so inclined towards the baby. I raised my injured hand and touched the side of the baby cheeks. Feeling their skin against mine gave me some kind of peace that I had never felt."You look so beautiful," I said with a smile as I rubbed the baby's cheeks. The baby cooed happily and gave me
