CALEB’s POVI was going along that day, unhappy that I was being delayed from seeing Alana and checking in on her before I left because I had so many things to do.It would be best if I saw her as quickly as I could and then moved on to continue doing other things I had to do with my life.Not only had that day been a bad day for me already, I just wanted to relax and be taken care of, spill my mind out to someone who cares, but I also wanted to know if she was doing just fine.Her stomach had started to protrude and it was making me feel special like I was the one who owned the baby.She had told me the last time when I came that I needed someone who I could fall in love with properly and start a family with, maybe she also meant that I needed to find my mate as soon as possible.But maybe that was not really the problem, the problem would be that I could not get anyone in my pack who I could fall in love with or who would even let me be with them because of my past.They all knew ho
CALEB’s POVIt was not like I was afraid, but there were certain things I did not want to hear and it became obvious he also had things he did not want me to say again as well.Somehow I wished for something better for us to discuss but it was like there was nothing obviously and he went ahead to spill his mind to me.“I would love you to stop or never even talk about Lana’s past here, ever again. Please, could you do that for me?” He said in what seemed like a command and a plea at the same time that I hardly knew how I should react.At that point, I could only say thank you and almost forget how to react when I get a message that I did not like, I just went mute and did not know what else to do or say.He had been close to me and had helped out with so many things so many times when I came over and I did not think it was going to be best if I disrespected him or did not do what he asked of me to do.But this was somehow too much for me to bear with, it was like he was giving me an i
ALANA’s POVI sat down properly and asked the pack elder to go over how he was able to know that Nixie was a wolf and he started with how he first met her and how he got a different kind of sign.And I remembered as well how I met her and got a whole new vibe from her, one that I actually liked because she was nice and full of life.What am I even saying? I did not know her that well at first so I could not say exactly that I saw something that made me love hee, we just synced at first sight and I could not explain it.Ever since then I saw her like a sister and seeing her as a sister in law now would not be something so difficult to do, even though it was still like a shock to me.It was amazing and satisfying a little to know that the reason why he kept hating on her was because she did not know who she was yet.At some point, it started to look to me like they looked alike and they were truly one family and I could not explain why.He had been talking for over an hour and I somehow
LUCIAN’s POVI got to the secret meeting I had with some members of the pack where I saw that Caleb was absent again or maybe he was still coming.Even if he was still going to be available for that meeting, he was very late and I could only wonder why he would be this late because Caleb is never late.At times when he came late, it means that he would have already taken a permission not to come to the meeting but then he could still make it and that was why he made it late.And recently he has been full of breaks and excuses that could affect the pack house if care was not taken, but he did not seem to mind and I decided not to bother as well.Most of the times, when he came to tell me that he was making excuses to have time to himself since he was not feeling so well or in the right state of mind, I could not help but pity him or feel pity for him.I had taken from him the one and only friend he truly admired and gave almost his all to, and I had left him alone with no one to talk t
CALEB’s POVIt was more stressful for me to stay in my pack than for me to stay with Lucian and he was doing almost everything possible for us to meet again.I noticed that he was going after me in all ways that he could to make sure we sat down together to say things that did not need to be said and I was doing all I could to avoid that as well.Maybe he just was not getting the message or he got the message and at the same time did not want to since he needed to get something from me.The fact that he was being so quite even with all of my excuses made me feel uncomfortable but at the same time gave me reasons to take more steps.It felt sweeter anytime we did not have to talk or argue on things that made no sense to me and I did not know how long we would continue like this.This morning after having a long rest from the stress I had gone through all of this week, I woke up to hearing a knock on my door.If not for those people who are under me, my guards and those who are my famil
NIXIE’s POVThe past few days have had an upturn in my life that I wanted to last for a very long time even though I feared that it might not always be that way.I knew that I would be full of life, love and gratitude for the pack elder soon for exposing the secret I did not know that I had, but I did not know it would be this early.Now, I felt like coming over to his place to greet him everyday and every time and I did not know what to do to make him happy and more proud of me than he already was.I knew he was proud of me and I knew that he was going to be more proud if I did not fight with Titan but lived with him in peace, helping him in the best way I could to guide and lead the pack and all the pack members.Now people loved me so much more now that my position had changed but I ensured that they did not love me much more than they did love my beloved sister and best friend, Alana.Alana had done so much in helping me and making me happy, keeping me in check and helping me to c
NIXIE’s POVCiara, is the most intelligent woman in the entire pack that I could not help or resist giving my all in all to her, because she just deserves everything that she needs from me.I loved that she was more than eager to help myself and Jacob out whenever we needed their help and she also paid attention to every detail, no matter how little or unnecessary that it felt or sounded like.Not only that, but even though she did not know much yet, she was solely committed to blood and giving her attention to everything that had to do with the blood and health of other people, unlike me.It was very easy for me to look into the health of others, test them, and discern what was up and wrong with them but it was not so easy to do a lot that had to do with blood.Most times before I discovered how much of a wolf that I was, I ran away from anything that had to do with pains whether blood gushing out or anyways, and it was funny to me and so embarrassing that I had to keep it from every
NIXIE’s POVAlana could not stop going over how there was danger in our going for war or that something bad was going to happen that will make us cry and feel unhappy.It was getting so much lately that I did not know how to respond to it, there was only little that I could do to feel okay about it and also make her feel okay as well and that was all I had tried to do.To me, this stopped her from complaining about every other thing but it was still not so nice or good enough that she had something more important to talk about and that was one topic I did not want to hear or even talk about at all.She was hell bent on asking me to tell Titan on her behalf since we were all aware that he would pay little or no attention to what she was saying or even though he was concerned, he would not try to show it.Showing it could mean a type of fear or laziness that he would not like to exhibit at all as the pack Alpha and the one everyone expected to be strong enough or even stronger than the
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
