Lily's POV:I stood on the balcony, inhaling the crisp Parisian air, basking in the bliss of our honeymoon. The Eiffel Tower stretched majestically before us, its iron lattice illuminated against the night sky. This was supposed to be our time, just Alpha Blake and I, relishing the joy of our marriage bliss. Little did I know that within moments of our fun, our world would come crashing down after a simple phone call from Ryan.Blake took out his buzzing phone from his pocket and frowned when he saw who was calling him. "Ryan is calling," he looked at me and I shrugged not knowing why he was calling when we strictly told him not to call unless the pack was literally on fire."Answer it," I told him to go ahead and Blake answered his call with a hint of irritation in his voice, "This better be important Ryan," he paused to listen to his caller for a few seconds. "Alpha, alpha, the twins are missing, " I heard Ryan say frantically. My heart literally stopped beating while my eyes wid
Blake's POV:Taking my mate on a well-deserved honeymoon to Paris only for it to be ruined by a 20-second phone call that my pups were missing from the pack made me feel all kinds of emotions but I had to keep it together for the sake of Lily who was literally breaking down because of the news Ryan conveyed.Fuck!How did it even happen under the watchful eye of my warriors and mother? My stomach twisted violently while my mind racked up ideas of what happened…Maybe it's the same human sniper who visited my pack not so long ago, who got away with it? My mind kept reeling back at who could have done such a horrid act while comforting Lily until we got home... At first, I wanted to kill Ryan with my bare hands for not taking his job seriously, but I held back because finding my pups was more important than disciplining a Beta for a job that could have been carefully plotted hence eluding him like the rest of the pack mates.I made it a priority to ignore Ryan all the way home as the f
Lily's POV:Arriving in midnight territory and coming face to face with other wolves other than my packmates, it was very intimidating and scary at first but the will to see my children safe and sound in my arms once again made me brave myself and want to attack them first but Blake stopped me as he had other plans on sorting out our enemy.Blake stepped forward and challenged the other Alpha calling himself Jackson in what I believed was an ancient method of sorting out disputes so as to avoid more bloodshed on both packs… The warriors of both packs watched on in awe to who who would come out victorious amongst the two confident Alphas.The fight began and Sasha held our breath while we watched in dread because I didn't know how strong this Jackson feller was.Oh, moon Goddess please protect my man.The eerie cheers of the on-looking warriors made my heart race faster than it had ever before. The ferocious battle raged before my eyes. The clash of claws, the primal roars, each strik
Lily's POV:"But the Alpha is not dead, he is right there," I said pointing to Blake. Ryan glanced at him with a sad faraway look on his face and sighed."Yes my Luna, the alpha is not dead but his enemies within the pack are spreading false information to the pack mates to gain their support and loyalty so that they remove him as alpha," Ryan explained and my heart clenched with rage….So this Alphaship title was like a presidential title only within power-hungry werewolves that were willing to kill just because their Alpha was sick for a few days… so typical of human nature! I rolled my eyes at Ryan's statement."No Ryan, I'm not going anywhere," I said firmly because for once in my life I was tired of not addressing the issues that affected my life directly or indirectly. He gasped with wide eyes."But Luna, the pack is not safe for you, the pups, or the Alpha, especially in his state," he tried to reason with me but I stood my ground and rejected his offer."Take him and the twins
Blake's POV:Staying unconscious for days without waking up in the real world felt like I was trapped in an internal abyss with no end that kept dragging me further and further away from my mate and twins.I despised the feeling as I could scent their sweet scents always lingering around me and yet I couldn't wake up and be present with them… I beat myself mentally for staying that way until one day the moon goddess's spirit appeared to me in my unconscious state and told me it was time to return to my loved ones because they missed me dearly and it wasn't my time to join her just yet."Are you sure goddess?" I asked her beautiful spiritual goddess-like face.She smiled," Yes Blake, your family is still in great danger, and tearing you apart from them right now would mean you lose your gifted pups to the villain of your life story," she explained with great wisdom and calm in her voice. I immediately woke up, fully healed yet my body was still weak and sore, I was immediately reunite
Mrs Smith's POV:How dare Blake turn his back on me when he had promised me that he would always back me up in any decision I made because I helped him get the woman of his dreams? I stormed out of their bedroom after an altercation with my son and his stupid Luna...Blake just had a near-death experience a few days ago saving his two gifted pups I so dearly wanted to raise as my own but due to Lily's persistence to smother the twins, I lost a battle that I hadn't even tried to win. Fucking weak human!!! I stomped the heel of my shoes as I made my way to my study to cook up a perfect plan I could use to win back the favor of my grand pups... Lily won't know what hit her...I got to my study, locked the door behind me, and poured myself a glass of whisky to calm my raging nerves... I gulped it down the throat burning whisky while fanning my face with one hand even though the air-conditioning was working fine. Why did Blake even take her side over mine when we had an agreement from t
Lily's POV:Waking up the next morning after Blake recuperated from his unconscious state, I quietly slipped out of bed leaving him to get his much-needed rest. I got dressed and then went to gather my four-year-old twins, Mason and Madison to help them get ready for school as that had become my new daily routine since enrolling them back into public preschool."Good morning Mommy, what kept you so long? We are ready for school," the twins cheerfully said in unison as usual while they ran into my arms eagerly wanting to go to school. I smiled while carrying both in my arms. "Good morning my loves," I gave each one of them a peak on their chubby pink cheek. They giggled lightly."Mommy, how is Daddy feeling today?" Madison asked while maintaining eye contact with me. I sighed softly."He is fine, but the doctor told him to get a lot of rest so we won't go wake him up to say goodbye before we leave for school." I pursed my lips and they pouted."But we wanted to say good morning befor
Lily's POV:Blake looked in her direction, and then shrugged nonchalantly, maintaining his composure. "I don't know. Perhaps she has some business to attend to within the mansion."What business??? I raised my brow at him and he maintained his straight face." I don't know kitten, " he replied and I scoffed while rolling my eyes.Something felt off by her unannounced arrival.And as if on cue, Mrs. Smith, emerged from the house, elegantly strolling towards the redhead, eagerly embracing her."Khloe, it's so good to see you after a long time," my mother-in-law embraced her and my stomach knotted with rage.So she called Blake's ex?But why?A frown deepened at the sight of the two women engaging in such camaraderie...Questions and insecurities tugged at me, overshadowing the serenity of the morning. Mrs Smith and her guest strolled into the mansion. "Alpha, Luna, your breakfast," the omega servant I had sent announced with a tray of breakfast before us.... I heaved a sigh."Okay, tha
