I went back to my room, the discovery of the beasts and Lizzie’s power felt heavy on my shoulders. Earlier, I had thought that Lizzie wanted to achieve power in the pack, and wanted to live a life of luxury, but after the trials things changed drastically, what we all thought was a personal move turned out to be just a mere part of a broader plan, meant to harm the werewolves.And after seeing the beast and Daisy’s explanation, I felt that Lizzie wasn’t bragging. She had every means to destroy us, while we were solely dependent on our brute force.My heart raced, knowing that the dark arts of necromancy had been brought into the equation. I wasn't well-versed in such forbidden magic, but the thought that Lizzie might have used it to attack my Pack and our fellow wolves filled me with anger.I paced the room, the uncertainty making my heart restless. Necromancy was a dark and dangerous path, and it was hard to believe that someone had turned to it. I tried to search for possible clues,
Emma’s POVUnder Axel’s lead, me and Lizzie were trekking for days. Axel was my mother’s brother. Like calls the other, so as anyone could have noticed, they both were ruthless and cruel. The air around us seemed thick and it was hard to keep walking, considering I had nothing to eat.My pregnancy only burdened me further, because I couldn’t keep up with the long strides of Lizzie and Axel and they kept on cursing me and shouting at me. As if I had brought this upon us.And, maybe I did. But Lizzie wasn’t innocent in all of this.When walking became even harder, I took a pause to breathe heavily.Lizzie, with a wicked glint in her eyes, glanced back at me. "You know, Emma, you're really slowing us down," she hissed, her voice dripping with contempt. "If you keep moving like a snail, those wild beasts might just catch up to us. And I don't think they'll be particularly discerning about their prey."I squinted my eyes at her.“And you know what I would do, I will run, and not before I w
Emma’s POVAxel’s voice was different than before, earlier it was quite friendly, or at least it was friendly toward Lizzie. But now when he said that it’s time to face the judgment. Something changed.The words sent down a chill, making me tremble with nerves. Until now I didn’t realize how dangerous the situation was.I always believed that my mother, Lizzie, wanted to rule the pack and maybe somewhere in the deep part of her dark heart, she wanted me to be the ruler. Her cruelty was never hidden, she was outright mean and obsessed with power that it was hard to understand her.And I tried everything that I was capable of to give her what she wanted. Things that I wasn’t even proud of. But nothing was enough and now I was here, in this weird magical cave, and its eerie silence was making me go mad, but I needed to be on my toes because I needed to run, for me, for my child.Lizzie hesitated before moving forward, “I don’t understand. It’s her fu*king fault. I don’t have anything to
Grace’s POVBeing with Xander was the best feeling ever and his hunger was never satisfied. He always wanted me and this thing was making me fall in love with him even more.I was falling deeper into his love and it was hard to get out of bed, but let’s get practical. I was sore, my body was aching, and was full of his love bite. Last night me and Xander returned to my Blood Moon Pack’s house. We had certain requirements to fill out as well as I wanted my things out of this house. Most certainly my mother’s. Daniel moved out long before my coronation ceremony.My stomach was growling, so reluctantly I sent Xander off to work and went straight to the Pack dining hall for some food.I was hoping people would treat me like their Luna, because the last time I was here Lizzie made fun of me, telling me how clumsy I was. I could only wish, but this time I was sure that the person who would try to attack me, would not survive.The scent of the freshly baked bread and roasted chicken wafted o
After hearing what the Omegas were suffering, I was furious and that was only a word, not comparable to what I was really feeling.If I could drown those elders, I would have done that and if that water were of their own blood and tears, then it would have been much better.But this was all in mind, in reality, I knew I would never do this, at least not to my pack. They needed to learn the lesson, a lesson they would never forget.When I slammed the pack house’s door, Xander was startled, earlier he was lounging peacefully on the couch but seeing my distressed appearance. He looked around me for any sign of danger, and when he found none, he didn’t relax but frowned.Zach was trailing behind me, his eyes serious, he heard everything that Omegas told me and I was glad he didn’t like it either. Because if he had thought otherwise, I would have sent him running for his life."What’s wrong Gracie?" Xander inquired, concern etched into his features.My anger was still bubbling hot and I le
“I must say, Miss Hawthorne, I am amazed at the judgment that you have presented. I never knew any Alpha could take action against the Elders of the pack. I have always thought that they were invincible and their power was formidable. I had heard that Alpha can only inform the Elders about their mistake. But it all depends on them if they want to acknowledge that or not. And I am impressed with how you handled the situation,” A man with a burly physique spoke, his voice was warm and welcoming.But he wasn’t alone, by his side there was a beautiful woman, she was a sight to behold.“Welcome Alpha Kai, Luna Alice. I apologize that you have to witness this chaotic scene but some decisions are supposed to be made in haste.” I welcomed them with a smile on my face.Kai was the Alpha of the Sunset Guardian pack, and I invited him to discuss the ongoing rogue attacks on our borders. But I didn’t know that he would arrive at this crucial time and would hear me issuing the order against the El
To say that I was furious was nothing new. I am always furious and angry.Oh goddess, how could things be so out of control?I was pacing in my room, because apart from that I was not able to think of anything else.Daniel fu*ked up really bad. But I wasn’t mad because of it, I was angry because his recklessness has led to a bigger problem in our life. Many innocent lives were at stake and many were already lost.I couldn’t even imagine what Kai must have seen in those ghost towns, these rogues were using children to threaten us and it was infuriating.“Stop pacing, Gracie. This won’t solve anything.” Xander said.“I know. I…I don’t know actually. I am just so tired of everything. Everything in general. I really thought that once I became the Alpha of my pack, everything would turn to normal. But no, things are just getting worse and worse.” I whined.He came toward me with a soft expression and hugged me from behind.“Gracie, my little mate. Life is not a fairytale, it doesn’t end on
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was tense. The tension was so high that it could be cut down by the knife. I eyed the elders who were present in the hall, some of them openly downcast their eyes.But the infuriating thing was that some of the elders were not even present in the meeting.“Why the delay?” I asked the enforcer, who was standing by my side.His rugged profile was enough to instill fear in the people. My mother took his mother in the pack when his whole pack died during a rogue attack. He had been loyal to Daniel, but before the coronation, he told me his loyalty lay with the pack and not with the person.Because it was the pack who saved his mother.And now that I am the Alpha of the Pack, his loyalty lies with me.Before Michael could answer me, two elders lazily entered the meeting hall. Their lousy steps felt direct attack to me like they were mocking me, they were mocking my authority as an Alpha.I signaled Michael and Zach and they understood what I meant.With s
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
