Xander’s POV“I think that’s all for today. I hope everything will go according to the plan and if we encounter any problem along the way, I will be just a call away. This is a serious concern and we need to focus on this matter alone. Nothing is more important than this. Am I clear?” I asked everyone present in the packhouse. My voice resounded firm and strong as it should be.Everyone agreed and one by one dispersed, leaving me mostly alone.I had just wrapped up a tense meeting with the Alphas, where we had agreed to unite against the rogues who'd been causing havoc in our city. It was a beneficial arrangement for the smaller packs, but it also meant expanding my already vast alliance. The weight of my responsibilities as Alpha had always been heavy, but this new coalition only added to the burden. I had just relayed that meeting’s message to my pack members.As I was deep in thought, contemplating the upcoming challenges, Daisy, burst into my Pack House. Her face was filled with u
Emma’s POVAs I hung up the phone, the weight of my actions and their consequences bore down on me. The dungeon was a cold and dim place, a fitting setting for the dark deeds that transpired within its walls. Lizzie and I had been confined here for what felt like an eternity, while Daniel, my father, stayed locked away in his room, a distant and shadowy presence in our lives.I begged him for forgiveness, but to no avail. I was desperate to prove myself and all this brought me to this stage.My gaze was drawn to the door of the room where Grace was imprisoned. I imagined the terror and helplessness she must be feeling, subjected to the horrors Lizzie and the dark witches had prepared for her. It was a cruel fate, but one I couldn't change. I had to stay loyal to Lizzie, my mother, no matter how dark and twisted her plans became.For years, I had watched Grace enjoying the benefits of being the Alpha's first daughter, while I had been the subject of mockery from everyone, including my
Grace’s POVI blinked my heavy eyelids and regretted it immediately. My head was pounding relentlessly, I groaned and tried to move and felt a cold surface. My hands and feet were bound and they were numb. I tried to open my eyes, my surroundings seemed blurry, but after gaining momentum, I was able to *ssess the situation I was in.As soon as I opened my eyes, I closed them again. Firstly, it was a chore to keep looking, and secondly, because I was a foolish person. I opened my eyes in a dingy cell only because I was not able to understand the trap and fell directly into it.I remembered that stranger who I tried to help but in turn it was a trap, because of which I was here.I had a certain idea of who could be behind this, I don’t even have to guess. It was Lizzie.I tried calling out to Lana, but I met with silence, her presence was silenced by the lingering effects of the sedatives. Panic welled up within me as I strained to hear any signs of life beyond these grim, stone walls.
I was sitting anxiously in the same position in which Logan left me. But that didn’t mean I was sitting ideally. I was trying to break free, but if only it was that easy.I heard a sound coming from outside and I halted whatever I was doing. I wanted to come as helpless and not some fierce wolf.Lizzie returned, and I watched with a mixture of confusion and dread as she set up a table and a TV in front of me. My heart raced as I wondered what torment she had in store for me now. She turned to me with a sinister smile and said, "Werewolves have committed many sins over the centuries, Grace, and now it's time for atonement."I stared at her, a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, as the TV screen came to life, and Xander's familiar face appeared. My heart ached at the sight of him, and I felt a pang of despair when I saw Emma, sitting in his lap, trying to seduce him. My voice quivered as I whispered, "No, Xander..."Lizzie's mocking laughter echoed in my ears as she taunted, "You
The person was none other than Logan.A wave of relief washed over me as I watched him coming toward my cell. But I was a little shocked to see him here, especially after the poison Lizzie had injected into him. Also when she told me that Logan was as good as dead, I thought she was able to subdue him.But that might not be the case, because Logan was standing in front of me, looking at my busted head he came toward me, his desperation and determination evident in his eyes. He attempted to break the chains restraining me, but the metal held firm. Frustration marred his face.“Y..Yo..You can’t do this with your bare hands. The poison that Lizzie gave you was potent and had made your wolf a little weak. We have to do this the old-fashioned way. Go find some tools.” I said, my voice still raw, but I managed to form some sentences.He looked at me, hesitating to leave me alone but then nodded, thinking that this was the only viable option for us, if we wanted to get out of this miserable
Daisy’s POVLizzie stirred, groggily awakening from her stupor, and I couldn't help but smirk at her feeble attempt to regain control. I strode over to her, my voice dripping with mockery as I taunted, "Well, Lizzie, it seems your dark magic isn't as impressive as you thought. It was actually very weak. I see kids with better tricks than you."Lizzie's hateful glare met my gaze,“Don’t be so overconfident. Just because you were able to defeat me doesn’t mean sh*t to me. My master won’t let somebody like you disrupt our plans. We are meant for greatness and you are nothing but a stain on the witch's name.” She spat out her threats.I raised an eyebrow in response, unimpressed by her empty bravado. I was never one to tolerate witches who used their powers for sinister purposes.“Yeah, because you are just glorifying our name right? You tried to kill your own daughter. What kind of mother are you?” I hissed at her.I saw she tried to give poison to Xander which could have harmed Emma and
Grace’s POVI was looking at Xander in complete shock, Lana howled inside me and I could see flashes of Lucas’s desperation in Xander’s eyes. If Xander had not been holding me, I would have fallen down on the floor.In that electrifying moment, Xander shook off all restraints, his hands cupping my face with a fierce tenderness. His voice boomed through the room as he powerfully roared, "Mate!" to me, the word resonating with a force that left me breathless.I gazed into his eyes, my heart swelling with a love I never thought possible. A tear of joy and relief slipped from my eye, and I smiled at him, my voice quivering as I whispered, "Xander."With a soul piercing howl, I leaped into his arms hugging him tightly, I wanted to mold his body into mine if it was possible. I wanted him to be with me, and the word “mate” from his mouth for me, was my undoing.I couldn’t believe that just a few moments ago I was reeling from his betrayal, was ready to go to any length to make him miserable
While we were talking about the next step, the doors swung open, revealing a disheveled and bewildered Daniel.He took one look at crying Emma, and his expression changed from confused to horrified. He slowly took in the scene unfolding in front of him, and myriads of expressions came on his face, from confusion to rage to shock. Each one is better than the last.“What is going on over here?” he asked in bewilderment.“This is what we should be asking you?” Daisy confronted him.“Excuse me? You are standing in my house and under my roof, and you are questioning me?” Daniel roared, forgetting for a minute that there were many senior officials present there.“It’s good that you know and accept the fact that it’s your roof and your house. So let me rephrase my question. Were you aware what Lizzie and Emma were doing in YOUR house?” Daisy taunted him, mockery clear in his voice.“What?” Daniel was confused but his voice wavered a little as if he was not completely unaware about it.This m
The room was filled with crying kids and the crying did not feel like a curse, it was indeed a blessing, a symphony to my ears.The nurse gave the kids to Xander and he took the bundle of joy with so much love and adoration, I couldn’t help but smile at him.All curses left my mind when I looked at him handling our kids with so much love, this man was my family. I love him.“Grace, look these are our kids,” he showed the faces of my babies to me and a laugh bubbled up my throat.I nodded. Xander leaned down and kissed me on my forehead.“You have given me the best gift, Grace, I am going to worship the land you are going to walk on. You are my goddess from now on.” Xanderr boasted and I laughed.And then suddenly the door opened abruptly.“How dare you all, keeping me out of the room, don’t you know who I am?” Daisy cursed like a sailor as she tried to enter the room while the guards were trying to keep her out.Xander rolled his eyes at her, clearly not ready for her drama.Daisy pun
Xander looked at me, his wolf growled but we needed to act fast. I with my she wolf troop marched toward the rogues, they were not expecting us and were startled when we attacked them, in just one move we had rogues covered from all three sides.From the west Kai was acting like a killing machine, eliminating rogues, from the north I was there and my troop with their agility easily defeated the rogues and Xander’s experience was making rogues run for their lives.But they had nowhere to go, with the help of Robert we had the area covered, anyone who dared to leave the battlefield would burn like crisp hips, so we all were sure of our victory.And after two days of continuous fight, we eliminated every rogue in the area. We were standing before the corpses of our foes and there was a calming peace in the area.A victorious wolf came from the west, my heart skipped a beat knowing that Kai won and I copied him and then waited for Xander, his howl came moments later and I leaped in the ai
Grace’s POV“I, Grace, The Alpha of Blood Moon Pack and Luna of Silver Moon Pack, stand here in front of the members of both packs, to announce that I am leaving the pack to fight alongside my mate. I am leaving not because I only care about my mate, it’s true that I do and I have full faith in him. But more than that, I believe that at this crucial moment, my forces need me. If in a time of crisis, I can’t be there on the battlefield helping my soldiers, then what kind of Alpha I would be? I want to lead my forces, supporting them so that I am there for them, so they are aware that before them the enemy has to deal with their Alpha. All my life my father looked down on me only because I am a woman, not worthy of the title of Pack’s Alpha. But time and again I have proved to him that my biology doesn’t define my worth. My power does, and my authority depends upon my skill. I have earned this title and today I will pay the price of this title. My mother, the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack
The whole day we were holed up in our room and when we went out it was already the next day.Grace and Xander were already present in the dining room.Xander took one look at his Beta and shook his head.“I don’t want to know,” he muttered under his breath, clearly not interested in what happened between us.I snorted, sat on the table, and started eating.And as the day progressed I realized that even though the dark Chapter called Morax had ended, it didn’t mean that all problems were solved. We were still in between the war.Like it was decided before, Xander was preparing to lead the troops to help Kai and Mason was already on his way to help his Alpha.We were standing at the front of the house, Grace held Xander’s hand, and I could see vulnerability in her eyes and I clutched Mason’s hand with desperation.“I am going to come back, don’t worry,” he *ssured me.“Indeed you have to. I will burn your soul if you won’t,” emotions swirled in my voice as I looked at him.He dipped his
“How are you feeling?” Mason asked me his eyes were fixated upon me, there was a fire burning in his eyes, there was a look of longing, a thirst.I had never seen him looking at me like this, except the time we met during our mission with Morax, there was the same intensity in his eyes that I am seeing right now.I always thought that Mason was this laid-back guy but now the possessiveness in his eyes was blinding, and my breath hitched when he moved toward me.“Great, just my bones are dancing with all the energy I had spent,” I smirked at me, as he prowled toward me like a hungry animal, which he was like a hungry wolf.“Why are you looking at me like this?” I questioned him.His eyes darkened as he stretched his hand and grazed my lips with his fingers, I trembled under his touch.His touch left me trembling on my bed.“How am I looking at you?” he asked me, his eyes fixated upon my lips.“Like you want to devour me, like you want to embrace me in a way where nobody could understan
I slumped down heavily on the floor as the door of my room burst open and werewolf warriors came inside.They searched the room through their eyes but found nothing, except the black mist. The residue of the confrontation between Morax and me.“We heard the noise,” The guard questioned as he looked at my slumped figure on the floor.I squeezed my eyes closed, my body feeling the weight of the fight that I had just fought.I just wanted to rest and sleep, maybe for a year.I opened my mouth to speak, to answer them, what really had transpired in the room. But apart from a hollow voice nothing came, my vision swam in front of my eyes. And the people I was seeing clearly were now just faceless figures, their images distorting.And with that without any prior warning, I just slumped down and fell asleep.I needed that rest, it was like someone just dragged into the dark abyss that was comforting and after weeks I was feeling safe, secure, and comfortable.After what felt like the most pea
Daisy’s POVMy head was pounding hard and even though I had said that I was ready to go with Xander on the field, I was lying to myself.I knew I couldn’t. Staying up on my feet was becoming a hard task and dots were dancing in front of my eyes.My mind was troubled with various questions. Mason being the most frequent thought. Whatever we were or whatever was going on between us was still a bone of contentment between us.I always knew that accepting the fact that I had two mates would be difficult for Mason. At the start, it was difficult for me because never in my wildest dream I thought of having two mates. But this came as a surprise to me.I just hope that Mason comes to terms with this because I couldn’t imagine my life without him. I needed my mates, needed my Mason and if he tried to break up with me, I would burn him into crisps.I internally snorted at the ridiculous thought, I could never do that.A chill ran down my spine when the re*ssuring voice never returned, somethin
“I want to come with you Xan. I don’t want to send you off to fight alone. You told me that we were in this together so why are you not understanding?” I pouted at him as he took me back to our room.“Do you think I want to leave you alone? And more so in your conditions. You are pregnant, Grace, I can’t take a risk about two important things in my life. One is my lovely mate and the other is my kids. So nope, you are not coming.” he said sternly and we entered the room.I whimpered with the thought that he was about to leave me.Xander sighed heavily, his eyes filled with a mixture of determination and concern as he looked at me. "Gracie, you know I would never willingly leave you alone, especially now. But the pack needs me, and I can't risk your safety or the safety of our unborn children."I crossed my arms, frustration bubbling within me. "Xan, I can fight too, I'm not helpless, and I won't let you face this danger alone. We can protect each other."He cupped my face gently, his
The conference room was dimly lit, the heavy atmosphere reflective of the urgency that gripped our pack. Maps sprawled across the large wooden table, marked with strategic points and the locations of recent skirmishes. Daisy sat to my left, her piercing gaze fixed on the maps as she tapped her fingers impatiently. On my right, Xander leaned forward, his eyes intense."We need to locate Morax before he am*sses more power. The hellhounds Robert sent are our best shot at finding the escaped witch," Xander declared, his voice resonating with authority.I nodded in agreement, my mind already racing through the possible scenarios. "We can't afford to underestimate Morax. If he's managed to gather more power, we'll be facing a formidable force. Daisy, was there anything that you found odd when Morax disappeared?Daisy shook her head.“Nothing, a portal opened up and he vanished, like he was never there. I tried to look around, but I was exhausted at that point and Lizzie’s attack made me muc
