Nathan’s POV With the plan agreed upon, the meeting quickly wrapped up. The elders nodded in unison “We’ll proceed as discussed,” Elder Lucas declared. “Everyone knows their roles. Dismissed.” As the council members began to disperse, I approached Isaac, who was deep in conversation with Derek. “Isaac, make sure the defenses are in place. We can’t afford any mistakes.” Isaac nodded firmly. “Consider it done.” I turned to Charlotte, who was looking pale and anxious. “Charlotte, are you alright?” Before she could respond, she clutched her stomach and gasped. “Derek… I think the baby is coming.” My heart skipped a beat. Derek rushed over to her, “Now? Are you sure?” She nodded, wincing in pain. “Yes, now.” “Alright, let’s get you to the infirmary.” I helped her to her feet and turned to Austin, “Get the healers. Now.” Derek immediately supported Charlotte as I led the way to the pack’s infirmary which was a spacious and big building near the edge of our territory, and we made
The setting sun cast a warm glow over the pack's territory as I made my way to the infirmary. The familiar building felt smaller than usual, the silence became heavier.Standing in front of Charlotte's room, I heard soft murmurs emanating from the roomAs i opened the door, I found Derek sitting beside Charlotte’s bed, holding their newborn son. I couldn't help but stare at Charlotte, even though she looked exhausted, Charlotte wore a radiant weak smile as she gazed at her baby. Derek's face was filled with happiness and joy.“May I come in?” I asked quietly from the doorway.Derek looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes. “Of course, Nathan, come in!"I entered, standing beside her bedside, with my hands in my pocket, "Congratulations both of you!" i said, trying to feign a little bit of happiness, even though i didn't mean what i said"Thank you!" They both said"How are you feeling, Charlotte?” I asked gently as I took my seat.“Happy,” she replied, her smile widening. “Meet Tiny
As the sun set, casting a warm glow over the pack's territory, Nathan and Austin made their way to the dining hall where the celebration for Aiden's arrival was in full swing. Inside, Derek, Charlotte, and Vincent were already seated, enjoying the festive atmosphere."King Nathan, join us," Vincent called out respectfully.Nathan took a seat beside Charlotte. "Thank you for the gifts, Nathan," she said warmly. "They were very thoughtful.""Anything for the little one," Nathan replied, glancing at Aiden nestled in Charlotte's arms. Derek watched Nathan closely.While everyone seemed to be enjoying the occasion, Nathan didn’t appear to be having a good time. He kept gulping down his wine. His beta, Austin, sitting next to him, couldn't help but stare with a look of hurt and frustration. It was obvious that Nathan wanted to get drunk, but a wolf getting drunk would require at least two thousand of the strongest wines.Derek noticed Nathan's unease but pretended not to as they all kept la
The celebration for Aiden's arrival last night had turned into a nightmare.Nathan paced the floor of the meeting room with his mind racing. His usual calm demeanor had been replaced by anger and fierce determination. "We need to move quickly," he said. "Every moment we waste is a moment Jessica gets further away with Aiden."Charlotte stood beside Derek, her eyes red from crying. "We can't let her get away with this," she said, "Aiden needs us."Derek nodded. "We'll find him, Charlotte. We will!"Nathan turned to his beta, Austin, who had just entered the room. "Austin, have you assembled the team?"Austin nodded. "Yes, King Nathan. They're ready and waiting for your command.""Good," Nathan replied. "We leave immediately."---Nathan, Austin, Derek, and Charlotte moved along with a few guards. Charlotte had insisted on going, even though they had advised her to stay put.Nathan led the way with keen intensity, Derek and Charlotte following closely, filled with fear and hope.As they
Charlotte couldn't believe her ears. “What is going on?” she said, her voice filled with disbelief.Jessica smirked. “You heard that correctly.”“No, I know he is heartless, but he would never do such a thing. He would never kill a soul!” Charlotte's voice broke. "Jessica, you're lying! My father wouldn't—"Jessica interrupted, her voice dripping with malice. "Believe what you want, Charlotte, but the truth remains. Your precious father was a murderer,” she turned to Derek, “he killed your brother."Nathan, still struggling against the chains, growled, "Jessica, this vendetta of yours ends now. Let Aiden go, or I swear—""You swear what, Nathan?" Jessica taunted, stepping closer to Aiden, “You have no power here. Not anymore."In a flash, Derek lunged at Jessica, but she was quicker, pulling Aiden back just in time. The room filled with tension as Derek stopped, his eyes burning with desperation."Please, Jessica," Charlotte pleaded, tears flowing freely. "He's just a baby. Don't puni
Bella’s POV"What is wrong with her?" Derek’s voice, filled with worry, lamented. I tried to speak, but my tongue felt jammed and glued to the roof of my mouth.I couldn't speak, but I could hear everything loud and clear.I looked down at my chest, thinking the loud thumping was from my heart, but it wasn't. There were numerous heartbeats and murmurs. Everyone spoke at once, and I could hear it all.What I found strange was how loudly I could hear their heartbeats. What is going on with me?My body moved on its own, twisting and turning in strange directions.Jessica gasped, shaking her head vigorously in disbelief, repeating “No!”Nathan and Derek stood there, looking at me with utter surprise, Derek’s jaw dropping, “What is happening?”I screamed as my body suddenly twisted, making me bend. I looked at my hand and gasped as my nails were extremely long and strange-looking."Help her!" Derek screamed.Nathan summoned all his strength and broke the chains. You could tell he was in de
'What the hell,' Derek muttered in panic as he stepped back in fear.I opened my eyes, wondering what he saw to sound so amazed, but I was stunned by what I saw.I looked around for my figure. I was lost.I couldn't find myself anymore. In my place was a tall, big white wolf.I gasped as I saw the figure, Is this me?I tried to speak, but it came out as a whimper.Anger surged through me as I locked eyes with Jessica, who was trying to escape with Aiden. The audacity!Before I knew it, I was moving, my body was driven by rage, and I launched myself at Jessica. She barely had time to react, stumbling backward as I slashed at her.Jessica's eyes were wide with terror as I immediately launched at her in annoyance. Nathan, within the blink of an eye, grabbed Aiden away from Jessica.I growled at her with my green amber eyes shining dangerously, and as I looked at a corner, standing there was Derek.Derek remained in shock, unable to move. His eyes were glued to my transformation, but I co
"Hello, Charlotte, how are you feeling?" Nathan's deep voice interrupted as he walked into the room with his expression serious "How are you feeling?"Charlotte looked at Nathan, then back at Derek, her mind still spinning with confusion and of the recent events. "Nathan, what happened to me? Derek said I transformed... but I don’t understand how or why."Nathan sighed, sitting down beside her bed. "Charlotte, your transformation was unexpected. It seems the Silver Moon Pack holds more secrets than we realized."Charlotte tried to process his words, a mix of fear and surprise, washing over her. "But why now? Why didn’t this happen before?""Sometimes, the first transformation is triggered when your loved one is in danger," Nathan explained gently. "It’s rare, considering the fact that you were born from the great and powerful Sophie Jenner!" He explained, standing and folding his arms, looking more agile."How could that be?"Derek was confused, trying to process whatever Nathan said.
“Mom?” she managed to utter in disbelief with a trembling voice. “Is that really you, Mom?” Charlotte’s mind was clouded. That was definitely Sophie, her mom whom she thought had died years ago, standing right here in front of her. How could that be? What happened? She was so confused. This can't be real. Immediately, Sophie transformed into a human and looked at Charlotte. Charlotte gasped in shock. This wasn’t happening. Her mom was standing right in front of her, her precious mom. “No!” she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. "But how… How are you here?" she muttered with trembling lips. Charlotte’s legs wobbled at the confirmation of the sight in front of her. She fell to her knees and felt like collapsing due to shock. Sophie’s softened gaze turned to her daughter. “Hello, Charlotte. It’s been so long!” Nathan stood in bewilderment. It was just unbelievable for him too. He thought she was dead. He mourned her death, and she... Is he being delusional? “How?” Charlotte i
"I will kill Derek for you!" she declared. Nathan's heart pounded. He clenched his fists, trying to maintain his composure. "You think I'd trust you?" Jessica coughed weakly, she grinned evily and mischievously, "You don't have to trust me. Just think about it. With Derek out of the way, nothing stands between you and Charlotte. This is similar to what happened years ago with James, and there were no consequences then." Nathan's mind raced. The thought of finally being with Charlotte, free from any obstacles, was tempting. But making a deal with Jessica? It's like dancing with the devil. "Why would you want to help?" "I need your blood to heal, Nathan," Jessica continued. "You help me, and I help you. Simple as that." Isaac stepped forward and whispered just loud enough for Jessica to hear, "Nathan, do you seriously want to trust her? She's manipulative; she isn’t someone who can be trusted!" Nathan glanced at his brother, knowing he was right. But the prospect of eliminating D
Nathan sat alone in his dimly lit office. He stared blankly at his desk. Slowly, he rose and walked to a drawer, opened it with a creak. Inside lay a small, ornate box. He moved to the window, and opened the box, lifting out a necklace. He held the necklace, and remembered, how his mum's words to him. He remembered his mother’s frail hands placing the necklace in his hands, "This has been in our family for generations. Keep it safe.” she whispered, with a mixture of sorrow and pride. The necklace is a family heirloom that had been passed down through the women in his mother’s family. He had promised to keep it safe until he met his one and only mate, Charlotte, whom his heart had always longed for ever since he met her years ago.when he met his other mate, whom died, It was unbelievable He had gone to the coronation of a wolf who was to be crowned Alpha, when he heard his wolf Ragner growled wolf, it unbelievable, because a king as never had two mates before and meeting he
