Whisper's POVIt’s been 6 months since my return to the Rising Moon pack and having my own little cottage has made me feel whole again. Finding Sadie’s journal was a real eye opener, if they had just looked inside the tiny home and found it they would have known Sybil was the one who tried to kill me. The things I wrote about my life here were horrible, no wonder I was so scared to become Luna of this pack and to be Alpha Michael’s fated mate. They had found a witch in the woods and had tortured her, which makes no sense to me, so now I believe she wasn’t a real witch, just an old woman who was living her life. There is no way for a true witch to be tortured, I can get out of any situation, with minimal damage to myself. Only a stronger witch can place bindings on me, to allow my powers to not move forth and save me, so a werewolf tying me up with anything isn’t stopping me from getting free. Not to mention the havoc I can cause prior to them even getting close to me. The day I
Alpha Drake's POVAs I soar over my home and look into the garden my heart skipped a beat as a soft purple haze drifts through it. I landed quickly in hopes it was her spirit that she had returned, but as my feet landed and I looked around she wasn’t there. My mind playing cruel jokes or is it just the hope that I keep in my heart that she will return to me, or to this garden that she seemed to adore and give all her attention and love too. I conjured sweat pants and pulled them on, the doors to the garden opened and my mother appeared, her eye glistening with tears as she ran towards me, “where were you, you had me so scared.” She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly, I welcomed her embrace and hugged her back, “I’m sorry, I needed to let my beast out, he needed to feel close to her and we found something that gives us both hope, I didn’t mean to worry you.”She pulled from me, “did you see her?”I shook my head, “no, but she left me a message,” I smile as I remember
Alpha Michael's POVAfter her little outburst in my office threatening me with the contract I've given her space, allowed her to move back to her little cottage and now, I’ve waited too long, and she still isn’t giving me any type of signal of our relationship moving forward, not even a kiss. I've tried to be patient for her to come to me, I've sent notes of affection with trinkets that I'm told a witch would appreciate, but yet she still stays away, as if I'm not here at all. Maybe she has feelings for this other Alpha, I’m not stupid or naïve, she didn’t spend 12 months with him and not at least kiss him, so why is she not at least trying to have some type of intimacy with me? I’ve been more than accommodating with her, I'll surprise her tonight, take her out, sweep her off her feet and she will show me her gratitude and at least give me a kiss, she is my fated she should want to please me.I bought her flowers and will take her to a nice dinner and then a walk around the garden,
Whisper's POVI created a portal to the other side of the stream at the border of the Rising Moon pack and entered the forest. I sat against a tree in the area I had shifted for the first and only time in the past 18 months. I’ve been through a great deal in my brief life after reading that detailed account of the life I had forgotten, I’ve been through more than I thought. I look up into the sky and the moon is almost full, the stars dance in the darkness twinkling at me and it’s one of the most beautiful sights my eyes can behold. I smile as I think of what I now can do, my contract is voided with Alpha Michael and no one else knows but the two of us, I have 6 months before I am required to come back to this exact spot and allow my wolf to chose where my own fate lies. I speak inside my head, “choose wisely little wolf,” and to my surprise I hear a purring in response. I stand and walk towards the unknown and for the first time in my life I feel free, and the feeling makes me g
Alpha Drake's POVMy eyes darted to the tree line, “Marie what is it, what’s wrong?”Her eyes go wide as she looks out at the forest, “leave Alpha Drake, leave now, you’re not safe here.I sit up looking at her, “I’m fine, there’s nothing out there that can harm me,” I smirk and sit back.She narrows her eyes, “you don't feel it do you, you need to leave and fast, please go, please I beg you, black magic is coming for you, and it will stop at nothing to get you.” She stands and shouts at me, “GO, Leave now before,” her head snaps to the trees, and I feel her protection barrier burst.She falls back into her seat as her eyes widen as she stares out at the tree line, I follow her line of sight, and I turn facing my worst fear.Martin stands there, his hand tightly wrapped around Whispers throat as she scratches at him trying to gain air, her eyes are shut tightly as tears flow down her rosy cheeks, as she struggles.I stand and Marie speaks, “leave, I will deal with this, do not go off
Marie's POVI felt his anger as he stared at a man holding Whisper, my heart clenched at the sight, her eyes tightly shut as she clawed at his hand. I watched in horror as Alpha Drake jumped over the railing and headed right for her, that can’t be Whisper no one could hold her in place like that, her power is too strong. I yelled out to him, but it was too late as Whisper vanished and another woman stood in her place. I watched as the darkness surrounded Alpha Drake, his body shook, his head tilted to the sky and a howl of anguish left his lips as darkness invaded his body, heart and soul. He didn’t move as the young girl threw her hands around his neck and pushed her body into his. Then his arms moved around her as his wings began to show and unfurrow out, he shifted within a second and his magnificent beast stood tall and proud as he ripped her head from her shoulders casting it to his side. I heard the man laugh as a portal opened directly in front of Alpha Drake and he lunged
Whisper's POVI’ve been here 2 weeks now and Young Winn is amazing and very wise, not only do I know my co-designers names, but I have actual friends, these wonderful humans are each different, unique in their styles and flares, but we all share one thing the love of fashion. Our visions may all differ, but we truly appreciate each other’s talent. I stand back and give my design one last good look over and hear Tony’s squeal from behind me, “Girl, that is totally hot, I’d give it a triple snap,” he rounds the mannequin eyeing the dress up and down.I can’t help but smile at him, he is my favorite new friend, he is so bubbly and full of spirit, he doesn’t say a bad word against anyone, and his eyes are so blue and bright. He calls over Zen, to look as she cuts a piece of fabric, “give me a minute,” she grumbles, and I can’t help but chuckle at her. She is always quiet, but not shy at all, she does a goth look and it fits her personality, she’s broody but lovable and I’ve gotten her
Luna Dela Sandra's POVThe darkness in the house suddenly came to life and I knew he was inside, I ran to his office and stood behind Riley. My son was again overtaken by the ruins that we still hadn’t found and there sat Martin on the couch with a smug smile on his face, enjoying this entire scene. I mind link Rafael, “my love he’s back and Martin is here also, we need to do this now or lose him forever.”My mate replies, “get him to the garden’s entrance, we will end this today.”I push past Riley, hoping with all I have that I can convince Drake to go with me, I plead, and he is reluctant, but I pull the Momma card and thank the goddess it works.As we walked out of the pack house, I notice ruins on the steps, these weren't here before, I shake the thoughts and continue with Drake around to the back entrance of the garden. As we approached, I told him I found something he must see inside the garden. He digs his heels in and refuses to step one inch further and tells me his plans
Beta Riley’s POVIt’s been hours since Alpha Drake left for Whisper’s decision, part of me fears she rejected him and he now doesn’t feel like this huge party he arranged but when a portal opened in front of the pack house doors and 3 people stepped out, my eyes widened. I approached with caution, especially the werebear, when one of the woman spoke, “I’m Solanda, Whisper’s grandmother,” she says quickly her hand goes to her companions, “this is Marie and Joe, friends of Whisper’s, she opened the portal for us to come and wait for her,” she shrugs, “in case she decides to come here, that is.” She looked around and her eyes fell on the fountain that Drake had created of Whisper, and she smiled, “he captured her true form, her love for life, the earth, the sun and the moon.”I couldn’t help but hold on to the hope that she would return with Alpha Drake, she is perfect for him, and he already adores her more than she knows. I mind link my mother to come over and meet them, while we wa
Alpha Drake’s POVI heard a twig snap in the distance and then the bow released and knew what was happening again, I lunged for Whisper and covered her on the ground as an arrow stuck in the tree right next to Alpha Michael’s head. I stood immediately offering her my hand, I pulled her to my chest and covered her with my wings. I turned to see who was growling and seen the werebear, Joe pulling a screaming she-wolf out of the tree line. Then Alpha Michael shifted, his wolf growling and snarling heading right towards us. I flapped my wings and took Whisper with me as we hovered above watching what he would do. My only thought was to keep her safe, I couldn’t control my body, or my beast from the want and need of her being this close. My cock hardened and my beast clawed at my insides to be released, I pushed him back and held her, becoming intoxicated by her sweet scent of peaches and cream. Her arms tightened around my neck, her voice was so sweet, I knew she wasn’t talking to
Grandma’s POV (Solanda)I watched as she walked up and began speaking to Alpha Drake and Alpha Michael, both have faults, and both want my granddaughter as their mate. When Whisper told them that she wanted both of them, I nearly fainted, thank the goddess Marie was standing close to me and kept me upright. I shook my head, but was pleasantly surprised when Alpha Drake agreed and I watched him, his eyes shown with so much love for Whisper it was heartwarming, to see an Alpha concede to his mate, to only want her happiness above his own was tremendous, especially someone who had not long ago only saw her as a means to an end. When Alpha Michael dismissed the idea so quickly it was a red flag, he was not as vested as he led me or even Whisper to believe. His feelings were not genuine, and his eyes shown with a blatant distrust as she lost control of her power, her body levitated up and her voice boomed about Sybil still being alive, I could see the hurt she felt as she glared at Alp
Whisper’s POVI looked at Joe as we watched my grandmother and Marie walk through a portal heading to my mates, I smiled at him, “thank you for yesterday and today, being here with me.”He nodded, “sure thing, are you ready? Have you made your decision?”I shake my head, “not really, but I have to face them both at the same time and also deal with the pull of the bond for the 2nd time,” I inhale a deep breath, “let’s go.” I take his hand and create a portal, further from the spot where the others are so I can walk up on them and gather the strength I need for the decision I will ultimately make.We step out and I release Joe and smile at him as I walk away, I know he is right behind me following and I feel a tingle in my heart, and believe that the once bound bond is now freed. My wolf stirs in my head and howls MATE and my eyes sting with tears. I stop and speak to her, “calm yourself, we have two mates, and we need to chose wisely for our own good.” She whimpers in my head and
Joe’s POVI watch as Whisper and Solanda appear through a portal in front of our house, Marie jumps out of her chair and runs to hug Whisper, “sweet girl, how have you been, it’s been so long.”Whisper smiles sweetly at her, “I’m sorry if you worried, I was enjoying life in the human world and was very successful at it,” she arches a brow, “without using my powers.”I couldn’t help but smile at that, Marie and I have done the same thing and enjoy it, I won’t say that she doesn’t use her powers to clean the coffee shop, but she bakes from scratch because she loves doing it. They all come on the porch, Marie sits back in her chair as Whisper and Solanda sit on the swing. Whisper begins speaking, “I visited both Alpha’s and have found many differences in them, some aren’t as appealing as others.”Both woman arch brows to one another, but stay quiet as Whisper continues, “Alpha Michael,” she sighs, “he is treating Sybil almost as if she is his mate.” Both woman gasp and stare at Whispe
Whisper’s POVMy spirit enters the garden and I can’t believe what I’m seeing, the gardens are breathtaking and people are all over it, not tending to it, but setting up for a feast or a party maybe. I watch some of the omega’s that I remember scurry around covering tables with lavender color table cloths, gold linen napkins in the shapes of leaves and a smile curls on my face. They speak to each other and are so happy and full of life as the garden becomes a venue for a night to remember. I look around and see a fountain and smile at the wolf howling as water flows. Joy fills me and then laughter breaks out as Beta Riley walks out pushing a rack of chairs, his mother Luna Dela Sandra is right behind him, “hurry Riley we have so much to do before tomorrow.”He chuckles, “yes, Luna I know and where is Alpha Drake, isn’t he supposed to be helping?”She laughs, “he was out here all morning tending to it just like every morning before he goes to training and then breakfast, you know h
Whisper’s POVI step out of the portal and still have a day left before we will all meet here for my wolf’s decision, but I’ve learned that I have a say in this as well. My wolf usually doesn’t speak to me, but I feel her anxiety over all this and the poor thing is torn up inside, she wants both, but knows that is not what will happen, 2 Alpha’s, 2 territories and one mate, how can that even work.I told her we would mediate, allow our spirit to go and see what our Alpha’s have been up to and then we will have a better understanding of which one really wants us the most, have they changed what needs to be changed or if they haven’t done anything for us to want them.I decided to go to Alpha Michael’s first, he’s the easier of the two, he won’t detect me at all, I’ve learned a great deal with my magic, but Alpha Drake always senses me somehow, maybe it’s because he has similar powers. I allow my spirit to drift and find Alpha Michael at a pack meeting and listen and watch as many thi
Sybil’s POVLiving back in the pack house next to my son is a dream come true, I might still be guarded and looked upon poorly by some, but I don’t care. Am I sorry for what I did, some of it, would I do it again? I sit watching my pup sleep in my arms as I rock next to the window looking down upon the garden. Thinking of what I would do differently, I wouldn’t have tried to kill Sadie, I would have made sure I did it and all this could have been avoided. I shake my head, it would have been easier to just slit her throat, let her bleed out in that cave and leave her there to rot away. I stand and put Shawn in his crib and go to my adjoining room and dress to impress. Now that she is gone, I have time to win my Alpha’s heart and with Shawn cuddled next to me at all times now I have the perfect ammunition. I can win Alpha Michael’s affection by being a doting mother, show him how our son cannot possibly live without me and neither can he. I watched Sadie, how damsel in distress
Alpha Michael’s POVI sit in the spot that will decide my fate with Whisper, I’m sure she will choose the other Alpha, she lasted 12 months with him, me only 6 so I really don’t know why I even showed up. I think of all that has happened since Whisper left that night and what has happened in the past 6 months.I went to Sybil with Sadie’s journal that Whisper left for me, Sybil said that everything was all in Sadie’s head, that none of it was true, she explained away all of it as Sadie’s overactive imagination. She frowned at me and placed her hand on top of mine, “she’s gone, isn’t she?” I sighed, “yes, she’s gone, she will make a decision on her birthday.”She blinked at me, “a decision on what?”I frown, “me or the other Alpha who claims to be her destined.”She nods with a knowing smirk on her face, she pats my shoulder, “you did your best I’m sure Alpha Michael,” she walks towards the door heading out of the nursery, “perhaps if she does chose him, the goddess with bless you w
