#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
#Chapter123"How many warriors do we have?" Dom questioned, looking up from the pile of paperwork in front of him. I glanced at him, "20 give or take, I'll speak to Cory." I answered. "So, we'll leave in 2 days." He mentioned. My eyes went wide and I frowned. "2 days?" I glared. "No, we to leave... like now." I insisted. He sighed and shook his head. "You know the protocol for what the council is asking for." He stressed. The council come to this pack for help because of Amaris and Alex. They use the Dark Wolves as a threat because no one can beat them. Over the years, I've realised they only call when something is bad, something they are struggling to contain. So, whatever happened at my old pack is serious. "Yeah." I huffed, "Train for a full day and set off the next to the location." I grumbled. He nodded before standing up and coming towards the sofa. He sat next to me and grabbed my hand, I sucked in a breath and my eyes darted between ours and his face. "Listen, this is per
