#Chapter148I stood in front of the pack with Dom by my side. Mason and Ruby were on the other side of Dom and I felt content. The pack meeting was the first thing on the agenda today, he's got a whole fucking day planned. I don't think he realises we actually need to do some work for the pack, not just do each other.Everything was finally coming together, no more questions that needed answers. I was happy for once and loved, I was loved by so many people, at times it was overwhelming. Sometimes I think this is all a dream and any minute now I'm about to wake up. But it's not a dream, everything is real. My life is good."Thank you all for attending this pack meeting," Dom spoke clearly, getting the attention of all the pack. "As you all know, Caleb is our Beta but because he's my mate, he deserves a higher position." He started. The pack nodded and hummed in agreement. My chest swelled with pride, looking around at the crowd. I could see Henry stood in the back with a serious
#Chapter1494 years later.I pulled on the blazer and straightened it out, looking in the mirror. I don't understand why I have to wear a suit, it's not like I can fight in a suit. It's been 2 years since I took the Alpha position with Dom. Everything has been quiet, there have been no rogue attacks in about a year and a half. We have settled into a nice routine together. "You look fucking amazing." Dom groaned. I grinned at him through the mirror, he was stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. "Why do I have to wear this though?" I grumbled. He chuckled and walked towards me. I spun around and held my hand up, "Oh, no, get back." I warned. His eyes darkened and he chuckled. "I was just going to straighten your tie out." He shrugged. I shook my head, "You have that look in your eye that makes me want to drop my trousers, we can't be late for this." I rolled my eyes as he threw his head back laughing. "You shouldn't look so good in that outfit." He breathed, scanning his eye
#Chapter1505 years later.I groaned, pacing back and forth. "If you don't hurry up, I'm going to leave without you!" I yelled. "Come on, Addi will be at the hospital soon." I groaned. "I'm here, chill ou- why the fuck are you naked?" He growled. I turned and chuckled. "We're shifting, I'm not getting dressed just to shift and shred my clothes." I rolled my eyes. "We live in the middle of nowhere, away from the pack, no one will see." I grinned. He rolled his eyes and moved towards the door. We both shifted. I glanced over at him and rubbed my fur against his before we darted off through the forest. We reached the packhouse quicker than I expected. I shifted back and pulled on some clothes that had been left for me. I turned to see Dom staring at me, "What?" I shrugged. "Do you remember this tree?" His voice was thick with lust and I could smell his arousal. "No, Dom. Not know." I groaned. He chuckled and nodded his head. "If Addi wasn't about to give birth, I'd take you back o
#Chapter1518 years later.I groaned and rested my head against the desk. "Have you spoken to Mason and Leon yet?" Dom asked. I mumbled a reply, one he obviously couldn't hear with my face pressed against the desk. "I'm not even sure that was English." He chuckled. I lifted my head and playfully glared at him, "You've known me twenty years, you should understand my mumbling." I chuckled. "Twenty years... How have I coped?" He groaned then smirked at me. Twenty years have passed and I'm still besotted with him. I'm obsessed with him as much as I was when I was younger, nothing has changed. "So your reply... In English please." He scoffed. I chuckled and leaned back in the chair. "I... Haven't... Spoken... To... Them..." I relayed slowly. "Ok, smartass." He rolled his eyes. "You love my ass." I retorted. "Yes, I do." He remarked. I chuckled and opened the drawer and pulled out the first file. "Ok, before you jump on me... I'll link Mase and get him to bring Leon down." I mentioned,
#Chapter1522 years later - Leon's POV."The Dark Wolf Pack... Your new Alpha and Luna." Caleb resounded to the pack. Everyone clapped and cheered. I peered down at my Luna and beamed. I held my hand out and she placed hers in mine. Everyone bowed, showing they accepted me as their Alpha. I bowed in response. "Well, we'll be going... You've got this Alpha." Dominic smirked. "You're not staying for the party?" I questioned. "Nope, I have a hot date." He grinned. "Oh, let me know how it goes," Caleb smirked. "All I'll say is... don't expect me home." He winked at his mate as they strolled off together. "They're so happy together," Amelia breathed as she watched them shove each other before shifting into their wolves. "Yeah, so are we." I chuckled. She smiled up at me before resting her head on my shoulder. "We are." She sighed happily. "Alpha," Wade bowed at me then smirked. I shook my head and grinned, "Beta," I greeted with the same greeting. "I can't believe this. I mean, di
#Chapter153I shove my clothes in my suitcase, not bothering to pack them neatly. I need to get out of here quick before he realises what I'm doing. I stop and wipe my face which is meaningless because the tears keep coming.6How did my life turn out like this? I was so excited about finding my mate, granted the thought terrified me but I was overall excited.The one wolf that is supposed to be yours, is made for you and will love you through anything... It sounds too good to be true and before, I would have said it wasn't but now, it is.Just because they are supposed to love you, doesn't mean they won't destroy you.I had everything planned, I was going to continue with the pup handling and work my way up to becoming a pack midwife. I was going to meet my mate, fall in love and have everything my parents have.But he had to ruin that...He broke my heart and then broke my soul.One week ago.I yawned, leaning over and switched my alarm off. I snuggled back into my blanket fo
#Chapter154"I'll see you tonight," I called out as I pulled my coat on.I opened the door, stepping out of the house and pulled the door closed behind me.I always leave a little early for work, I like the bustle of the pack first thing in the morning. Everyone starting their morning, whether it's going for a morning run or taking their pups to school. There's always someone around.I hummed to myself as I strolled along the sidewalk."Good morning, Ayla," Mavis, an elderly wolf, waved from across the street."You caught me this morning," I chuckled as I waved back.She stands in her garden every morning, waiting to wave to me. She's done it ever since I was a pup when my mom used to walk me to school."Have a lovely day at work, Ayla," she smiled before she went back inside.My phone rang in my pocket, I pulled it out and grinned at the caller id. "Why don't you mind link me? Why do you insist on ringing me just to ask where I am?" I chuckled as I answered the phone."Becau
#Chapter155I whimpered as my dad laid me on my bed. My mom came rushing in and shooed my dad out. "Baby, how are you feeling?" She asked as she sat beside me."It hurts..." I whimpered. I pointed to my abdomen and scratched at myself. "Stop, you'll hurt yourself," She pried my hands away and sighed.My body itched, it felt like thousands of insects were crawling on me. My heart was beating so fast, I thought I was gonna die."What else hurts?" She asked.I dragged in a breath and screwed my eyes shut. "My chest... It hurts to breathe," I wheezed, "there's something wrong with my heart... it's... beating so fast... it feels-" I choked and sobbed."It's just your heat, baby." She comforted."Mom, it's never... Never like this," I choked.She gazed at me before shaking her head. "What? Do you know... what's happening?" I cried.She looked deep in thought, occasionally shaking her head. If she knew what was causing me this pain why wouldn't she say?"It's not possible... Unless
#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
