#Chapter115I sighed and opened my eyes. The meetings with the Moon Goddess get more confusing each time. She speaks in riddles and expects me to understand what she means. I yawned and snuggled back into the bed. But sleep just wouldn't happen, my mind wouldn't stop replaying what happened with Dom. I could still feel his lips lingering against mine. I groaned and dragged myself out of bed. I went over to the window and the sun was beginning to rise. I could see a few pack members training already. I should get back into my training, my ribs should be ok enough for me to do some training. I'll just have to take it easy. I quickly got a shower then pulled on some shorts and a tank top. Rhydian had stocked my wardrobe and drawers with everything I'll possibly need. I made my way downstairs, greeting a few pack members that were awake and beginning their day. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge before making my way over to the training ground. I didn
#Chapter116Everyone was quiet, I was biting my lip, staring at the ground. Rhydian was stood, facing away from us. He turned and his face lit up, "Well, it seems the Moon Goddess was right... We do need you." He chuckled. I let out a breath and relief washed over me. Cory came and stood beside me, "Caleb, you're awesome. Seriously, you can do this now... Imagine what you could be like with further training." He gushed. "You'd be unstoppable." He chuckled. I smiled awkwardly at him. "That was awesome, Cal." Addi squealed running towards me, she flung her arms around me and chuckled. I hugged her back. She unwrapped herself from me, "Seriously, you can move. It was like super fast, One minute you were there and then there." She burst, flailing her hands about. Behind her, I could see Dom staring at me, he looked proud and gave off a look of... lust maybe. I pulled my eyes from him and stared back at Addi who was still ranting about what just happened. 2"Caleb, can we talk?" Amaris
#Chapter117What does she mean, I'm something? No, I can't be her mate. Yes, I feel a connection to her but I don't like her that way."Place your hand on his arm, is that ok with you?" Amaris asked glancing between us both. I gulped and nodded. Don't come across as disappointed, I chanted in my head as she put her hand on my arm... Nothing! I looked down and her hand was locked on my arm and I felt nothing, no sparks, no tingles. Goddess, Caleb doesn't breathe out in relief.3"Addi, do you feel anything?" Rhydian asked. She shook her head and glanced at me then at her parents. "Why did my wolf recognise him, didn't say what he was... She said he's of great importance to us." She shrugged. Amaris' eyes went wide, "He's your anchor." She blurted. "I'm a what?" I glanced at her, open-mouthed. "Addi, you're going to become a Dark Wolf." Amaris gushed."So, I'm not?" Dom's voice was broken. "I thought twins that we're Dark Wolves shared a connection with the same wolf." He shrugged. "L
#Chapter118A light tap on the door woke me up. "One minute." I groaned. I pushed the covers from me and sat up. "Caleb, it's me," Addi called out. "Doors unlocked, you can come in," I shouted. The door open and Addi popped her head around. "Are you ok?" She asked, raising her brow at me. "Yeah, why?" I questioned, I patted the bed next to me and she came over."It's lunchtime." She mentioned as she sat on the bed, facing me. "Wow, I meant to get up earlier." I groaned. She chuckled and shook her head, "Don't worry, my mum sent me to check on you. She said she'll be ready when you are." She explained, raising her brow at me. I nodded and sighed."Can I..." She hesitated, "Can I ask you something?" She nervously asked. I nodded and gave her a small smile. "Were you relieved when I wasn't your mate?" She muttered. I held my breath. "You can tell me, I can take it." She added in a whisper. I took a deep breath and sighed: "Yes." Her face paled and she took a harsh breath. "Oh Goddess,
#Chapter119"Are you ok?" Amaris asked as we left the building. "What's going to happen to him?" I questioned. She took a deep breath, stopped and turned to me. "He'll be going to the wolf council to be sentenced." She muttered. I nodded and smiled at her, "Is that ok with you?" She questioned. I raised my brow at her, "Of course it is, I don't know everything that happened to you but he deserves it." I declared.She smiled at me and draped her arm across my shoulder as she pulled me towards the packhouse, "You're a rare soul, Caleb." She muttered. "Would you want to know what happened to me?" She asked. I shook my head, "I don't need details, I got the gist of it when Alex said what he did." I sighed.We reached the packhouse and she turned to me. "If you want to go back to your pack, I won't stop you. But I would love it if you would stay here, with us." She expressed. "I want to stay." I decided. Callum made it clear what will happen if I go back. There was a loud squeal behind m
#Chapter1203 years later. 2"That isn't what we agreed, Stevens," Dom growled through the phone. I lifted my brow as I sat on the sofa in his office. He mouthed: "Fucking Alpha Jayden." I rolled my eyes and stood up. I held my hand out for his phone and he shoved it into my hand. "Alpha Jayden, it's Beta Caleb. Yeah, yeah, cut the shit." I snapped, "A deal is a deal" I added. "Exactly." I ended the call and handed him his phone back. "Damn, Cal. It doesn't cost anything to use manners." He snickered. Not for the likes of Alpha Jayden, he's a creep. He's not a bad Alpha, he just needs to get his priorities straight, like not going after mated she-wolves. "He winds me up," I groaned, falling back down on the sofa. His dad, Alpha Jacob was a close friend of Amaris's and Rhydian's. They frequently helped The Moon Lake Pack, so we have to continue the tradition.A year ago, Dom took over from Rhydian and I took over from Lucas. Lucas, his mate and daughter have moved into the little
#Chapter121"Dom, Cal!" Addi yelled as she poked her head out of the car window. We were stood waiting at the pack gate for her. Well, Dom was waiting and I was hiding behind him. "Will you stop being a pup and come out?" He growled through the link. "Nope." I deadpanned. He snaked his hand around his back and jabbed my side. "Fuck sake, Dom." I gritted out. I huffed and stood next to him. He glanced at me and smirked. The car slowed to a stop and Addi jumped out. She ran towards us and wrapped her arms around us both. "Goddess, I missed you both so much." She muttered. "We did too," Dom answered. She pulled back and glanced between us both. "Any progress?" She linked me. I raised my brow, confused. She rolled her eyes and chuckled, "I hope you've been keeping each other out of trouble." She playfully scolded, pointing her finger at us. "You're kidding, right? Trouble's his middle name." Dom groaned. I winked at her and laughed. "No, I've been a good boy, I promise." I held my han
#Chapter122Thomas sent Lindsey home late last night. She's not allowed back in this pack unless she leaves me alone. I haven't seen any of them yet, I've been hiding in my bedroom, wallowing in self-pity. I'll be fine in a few hours, this is how it goes: he gets mentioned, I spiral down, I lock myself away for a day or so then I'm fine. I just want this Chapter of my life to be over, I want the day to come, when someone mentions him and it doesn't hit me like a truck. I sighed and rolled out of bed. I went over to the window and stared out at the sun rising. "Are you ok? Are you coming out today?" Dom asked through the link. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "I don't know," I replied. He didn't reply but I knew he didn't have to. If I needed any of them in the pack, they'd be straight here. I headed back to my bed and crawled in. I pulled the cover-up and snuggled against the pillow, sighing. I'll get a few more hours sleep and then I'm getting up and sorting myself out.I
#Chapter303WHEREVER YOU GO, I GO“So, we’re going to live in the palace forever?” Callie asked.Brody glanced at me with his brow raised. We haven’t discussed what’s going to happen. I still want to be part of the royal guard, but now I have someone else to think about.What does Brody want to do with his life? Would he be happy staying in the palace? There are all these little things we’re going to have to deal with.Until the threat to my life, well all our lives are dealt with, the best place for us is the palace. But after that, I need to think about Brody and Callie, not just myself.“I don’t know about the future, but yes, for now, we’re staying at the palace.” I answered. “Is that okay with you both?”“I like the palace. I like my bedroom. I like your family. I want to stay.” Callie answered.I smiled at her and nodded. “I’m glad you like it here.”I glanced to Brody, he seemed deep in thought. He smiled sweetly at me and took hold of my hand and Callie’s.“Wherev
#Chapter302LITTLE DETAILSI have no idea how I’m feeling right now, there are so many thoughts running through my mind.I’m confused why I’ve got a mate and a beloved. I know we have a family history of having two... Nanna Ayla had two mates, but they think that was because of the prophecy, and Grandad Leon was always supposed to be her true mate, but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected me to have a mate and a beloved.I’m happy, elated, absolutely over the moon at the fact Brody is my beloved. He’s everything I wanted in a beloved. He’s thoughtful, caring, and a decent being. I’m certainly lucky to have been blessed to spend my life with him.But I’m also worried. No, I’m absolutely petrified. When Luca finds out I’m also destined for someone else, I don’t even want to think about what he’d do. He’s going to be angry and jealous, and that’s a dangerous combination. Jealousy can make even the nicest people do wrong things. Luca is deranged and definitely wo
#Chapter301HIS SCENT“So, you and Brody?” Olivia smirked as she placed some pieces of fruit in five bowls.“I know that face, Liv. There is nothing going on.” I groaned, “we’re just friends.”“Friends definitely don’t look at each other the way you two do.” She snickered.Olivia placed the knife onto the kitchen island and looked at me with a serious expression. She leaned against the kitchen island, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.“In all seriousness, how are you doing now you’re back?” She asked.I took a deep breath, then smiled at Olivia.“I’m glad to be back.” I sighed, “really glad to be back”.”“We’re glad to have you back,” she smiled sweetly. “Are you going with Brody when he gets his scent back?”I nodded and pushed away from the kitchen island. “He’s nervous about it, so I want to be there for him.”"You just want to know what he smells like." Allie quipped.She’s not wrong. I am intrigued to know what his scent is like. When I
#Chapter300WISHFUL THINKINGI halted in the doorway and frowned. My eyes darted around my dad’s office. My dad was sitting behind his desk with his arms crossed over his chest, with Mum perched on a chair beside him holding his arm. Coby and Ryder were standing by Uncle Elias and Uncle Levi in deep conversation. Grandad Leon and Nanna Ayla were behind Mum and each had their hands on her shoulder."No matter what they have to tell us, I’m here, we go through this together." Allie promised. ”We’re stronger than the rogues."They all looked to me with hints of anger and worry all over their faces.“So, what’s wrong?” I questioned as I moved further into the office, and Brody closed the door behind us.“You might want to sit down, sweetheart.” Dad instructed, pointing to the sofas on the other side of the room.I led Brody towards the sofas and made sure he was sat next to me. I’m going to need him close if I’m going to get through this. Mum and Dad joined us, sitting
#Chapter299THE PLACE IS A MAZE“Lila, sweetheart, wake up.”My eyes shot open, and I stared blankly ahead at Brody’s chest; we must have fallen asleep. It took me a few seconds to register, it was my mum’s voice. I peered over my shoulder. My mum was standing beside my bed, awkwardly shuffling side to side on her feet.I sat slowly to try and not wake Brody, and turned completely to Mum.“Everything okay?” I asked.“I’m sorry, Lo.” She sighed, “I didn’t want to enter your room without your permission, but it’s important, baby.”“Sure. What’s wrong?” I asked.She shook her head and took a deep breath.“Dad is waiting for us in his office.”I raised my brow, then nodded.“Okay, give me a minute,” I sighed.I leaned forward and grabbed the comforter from the bottom of the bed and pulled it over Brody.“Brody should probably hear this as well.” She mumbled.“Meet you at Dad’s office then?” I suggested.Mum nodded her head and took a deep breath
#Chapter298A LITTLE NEEDYCallie was over the moon with her bedroom, the smile never left her face. When I showed Brody his room, she didn’t want to come, she wanted to stay in her bedroom and play with her new toys. I didn’t blame her though, she had plenty to choose from, my parents definitely spoiled her.I left Brody to settle in his room, get a shower or whatever he wanted to do. I showed him which room mine was, and that if he or Callie needed me, they could come to my room.I stood in the middle of my room and dragged in a shaky breath. The last time I was in here, I was with Olivia when we were getting ready for my birthday party. I was starting to feel overwhelmed and anxious. Being alone in the room gave me a weird feeling. I need to not think about before and anything that happened. If I think too much, I may just be heading for a mental breakdown."Can we talk?" Brody’s voice filled my mind, and the little anxiety I was beginning to feel about being alone sl
#Chapter297STUPID SOUNDPROOF ROOMSI introduced Callie to the boys after getting the sweetest hello from them. They definitely missed me as much as I missed them. All four of them clung to me for ages. But the meeting between Callie and the boys was cute and warmed my heart. They were certainly excited to meet her. They got on really well, and I knew they would do.We spent time playing in the playroom while Brody was with my dad. I was glad I was with them, because it took my mind off my dad and Brody; it kept me occupied enough that my mind wasn’t constantly thinking about what is being said. I know Brody won’t tell them anything about what happened to me, but part of me wishes he did, because then I wouldn’t have to. Although Brody doesn’t know everything, I mean, he gets the gist of it, but he wasn’t always there."I’ll be there when you tell them. I’ve got your back." Allie cooed."I’m so lucky to have you."When Brody came to the playroom, I heard him and Corbo
#Chapter296FIERY SPIRITBrody’s POV.His eyes went wide, then he cleared his throat and straightened himself out. “You know about our history?” He questioned, raising his brow and leaning forward.I nodded. “Yeah, my mother um, told me after I met Alora.”“And you still saved my daughter?” He questioned.“I’m not my mother. Alora is special, nothing like what they said hybrids were. I had to get her out of there.” I answered.A broad smile appeared on King Alarix’s face as he nodded and sat back with his arms folded.“The guy that pulled her away, who is he?” Corbon asked.I furrowed my brows. “I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened, but I assume you’re talking about Luca.” I replied.“And who is this Luca?" Corbon growled.“He’s a wolf, but I don’t know much about him. I can’t tell you anything else though, it’s not my place to say.” I sighed.“The hell you can’t.” Corbon growled. “Tell me about him.”“That’s enough, Corbon.” King Alarix
#Chapter295WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUBrody’s POV.I followed King Alarix through the palace. It was huge, I don’t think I have ever seen something so grand. When I think of palaces, I imagine old fashion colour schemes, but this isn’t anything like it. The palace is modern and open planned, lots of space.“Just around this corner.” King Alarix mentioned over his shoulder.I nodded and smiled at him. My mind kept going back to the reunion between Alora and her family. Everything we went through getting out of that place, seeing them all together, was so worth it. I don’t think I have ever seen a mum and dad fawn so much over their children. It was heartwarming to witness.My dad died when I was young, so I don’t remember anything about him. Callie’s dad tried, but my mother wasn’t very maternal, so she complained whenever he showed Callie an ounce of love and affection.Our children need to grow up to be leaders, do not make them weak.Showing love and affection does
