Laura and I abandoned the tour of the impossibly huge castle and settled on having tea and snacks in the greenhouse. It afforded us privacy as there was nothing but plants here and we could see when anyone was coming in.

"I can't tell you everything because it is not my place," Laura started, "but I want to see Cahir happy. He has been sad for too long. You're the only chance he has at happiness, Sia." She took my hand and squeezed.

This was the first time I ever felt anything close to motherly affection and it warmed my heart. I couldn't say a woman who just met me loved me but I didn't feel any negative energy from Laura. She was an open and kind person who made it easy for people to relax around her.

"You know we were taken from our pack when Cahir was just ten years old. Alpha Boston raided our small pack, slaughtering most of the adult men and women. He took the rest of us captive and brought us to Alpha Blood to work as his slaves but Cahir –" She paused with a shake of her h

At least he has a sense of humour. That's quick for the Luna ceremony but I hope he talk to her and let's her know he does care.

    *CAHIR*"Man, I am almost jealous of you." Aristo flopped into a seat after walking into my office without knocking. "Congratulations, my man!" There was something going on with Aristo – Something I could not place a finger on. "You don't barge into my office, Aristo." My tone was level when I spoke but that blatant disrespect irked my wolf. "The next time you do that, you may end up crippled." "Oh –" His cheeks reddened. "I am sorry, Alpha." He bared his neck and my wolf was placated. "What's the update on Silver Moon?" I fingered the collar of my shirt as I spoke. "They haven't said anything. It may be too early for them to make the connection," my Beta replied, going into business mode. "The Alpha put up fliers and they are seriously searching for her but he doesn't know she is here yet." "He will know soon." I leaned back into my seat, calculating the fastest moves that would deliver Silver Moon into my hands. "You want them to know?" Aristo sounded surprised. "We just star

    "... and done." I looked at myself in the full-length mirror in front of me. The makeup artist waited for my reaction but all I could manage was a blank expression as I stared at her work in the mirror. My Luna Ceremony had come. Cahir didn't even give me the time to settle in or to wrap my head around all the many things happening in my life at this point. He just sprung the news on me and I couldn't refuse. I sighed out loud and it may have spooked the makeup artist. "Do you – Do you not like it?" The lady asked. I caught a fleeting look of nervousness on her apprentice's face in the mirror. The younger girl stood behind me with her teeth worrying her bottom lip. "It's alright," I answered the makeup artist. The truth was that I could not focus on the person looking back at me in the mirror. Though my eyes were on the mirror before me, my mind was in a faraway place. "If you don't like it, we can modify it to your taste." I could tell she was nervous as she twiddled one of her

    With the speed at which they rushed towards us, I thought they might run into us but they stopped a foot away and shoved microphones toward our direction."Alpha Calhir, after twenty-seven years, how did you find your mate?" One woman shouted in our faces. "Miss Sihana, who are you?" Another asked. "Alpha Cahir, Miss Sihana, where did you meet? What is your story!?" The bombardment of questions made me stick closer to Cahir because I feared I may be overwhelmed to the point of fainting which was not something I needed to happen to me on such an important day. Why were there reporters here? Luna Ceremonies were common and not as prestigious as Alpha Ceremonies which were planned for months on end. Very few Alphas had reporters covering their succession and most of the time, the reporters were from local news houses so why were there international reporters at a Luna Ceremony. I spotted a reporter from The Wolves Channel and Werewolves Broadcasting Network, which were two of the big

    *KADE**THE DAY SIA LEAVES SILVER MOON*Guilt weighed on me as I returned from the hospital where the doctor told me there was nothing wrong with Sia. As a healer, her body could repair itself once she rested after doing so much work in the pack hospital today.I hadn't wanted to force her to work at the hospital but I knew this was a sure way for people to appreciate her in the pack. She'd been trying to win everyone's approval before but with time, I saw her give up. It was not a secret that she wanted to be loved, with how readily she did whatever was asked of her, no matter how degrading, but over the last year, she had started to withdraw from the pack. It was how I knew she had given up on Silver Moon.My phone rang then and I picked it up from the nightstand."Alpha! There are vandals destroying things in the pack!" One of my warriors shouted into the phone once I picked up."Goddamit!" I grabbed my keys from the desk beside my bed and dashed out of my room. These vandals must

    “What the hell is this?” My eyes jerked up as I heard that familiar voice.“Alpha Kade, you did not tell us you would be attending!” Aristo was still with the microphone so he shouted into it. He had his back to me so I couldn’t see his expression but I heard the amusement in his tone.“Were you expecting him?” I asked Cahir in a whisper as Kade glared at us.Kade stood at the door with people staring at me but he did not notice them. His eyes were fixated on Cahir and I with pupils that glowed red.“No,” Cahir answered me, humour in his tone also. Then in a loud voice, he asked, “What are you doing on my land, Kade Warren?”“What am I doing on your land?” Kade shouted back. “What are you doing with my mate?!” Heads whipped from Cahir to Kade as he walked into the room. Someone in the crowd gasped and another pointed a hand at Kade.“Careful, I can slit your throat right here and now,” Cahir sounded cheerful. I too looked between him and Kade as the air around us charged with tension.

    We were tearing off our clothes in record time. I tried to take off my gown by raising it above my head but the bodice was too tight and would not budge. Asena growled some curses as she tried to make me force the cloth off.“Calm down.” Cahir held my hand to stop me from ripping off my dress.“I can’t,” I groaned in frustration, energized as if I wasn’t about to black out less than an hour ago. “I want you,” Asena growled at me, urging me to rip off the dress but Cahir flipped me on my back before I started to struggle again.I felt the heat of his body as he straddled my thighs, dragging my zipper down. The cool air on my back made me crave the warmth of his skin again. He kissed the side of my neck with a growl vibrating from his chest as he pressed against me from behind.“Look at that creamy skin.” He left wet kisses down my back while pulling my zipper. “Relax.” The command in his voice made me still. I hadn’t known I was arching off the bed in a desperate attempt to be closer t

    *Cahir*I should join her in the bath – help her wash her back and maybe her front. Holy hell, she was going to have me in a constant horny mess. How could a body be so perfect? Why did the goddess favour her so with a body that had me panting for a fourth round in two hours?“Self-control, Cahir!” I snapped at myself. It took all my willpower to stop myself from hopping out of bed and joining her in the shower. The sound of the shower running called my name and I almost answered.Just picturing her naked under that stream of water had me panting then I saw red for a second, imagining the water sliding down her skin while I fought myself to retain control.I’d heard the first few weeks of mating could be intense with the need to mate at every hour and the possessive urge to hide one’s mate, but I didn’t think it would be true to this extent. I never wanted to get out of this bed ever again. All I wanted was to burrow into her forever. That thought had me swallowing – hard.While a mat

    *KADE*I paced the cell the warriors threw me into without respect for my dignity. The people here did not know who I was and it showed. If they knew – If they knew – I deflated. The people in Alpha Blood pack were untouchable. They could not be wronged without their Alpha going berserk. Still, I needed to do something about these people. Especially their Alpha.How could he – No, how dare he undermine me like this?“He has to pay!” Flint was snarling but I shoved my wolf’s anger to the back of my mind. I didn’t need his anger to fuel mine and make me act without thought.Cahir Armani could not be underestimated and the way he flung a challenge at my face, I would be stupid to fall for his trap. He wanted me angry, he even encouraged it.Take your pound of flesh from me.He spoke with a sort of confidence and a gleam in his eyes that made me wary.Cahir Armani, you bastard!I needed to do something about the smug bastard but common sense told me to tread with caution.“What caution?”

    “You smell fantastic,” Cahir burrowed his nose into my side. “I love this smell.”“You’re saying that because I smell like you.” And I did. He’d thoroughly covered me with his scent and he’d enjoyed every minute of it – I had too, there was no denying it but at this point, I was too tired to speak. My eyes drooped as he kissed my skin, his body heat telling me he wanted to go for a third round. My stamina could never match up with Cahir’s but now, I was heavily pregnant so I didn’t even try. In my second trimester, I’d become a horny wreck but these days, I found myself wanting to do nothing but sleep and sleep and then sleep some more. “I’m so tired,” I mumbled in a sleepy voice. “And my back aches.” “Do you want a massage?” His innocent words were tinged with heat that added an extra layer of meaning to his offer. “No, thank you.” I pushed up in bed. “Uggh, being pregnant is the worst,” I grumbled but then the baby kicked and I winced. “She heard that,” Cahir said with a chuck

    We stayed at the hotel for a week while the Alpha Castle was renovated. That week, Cahir did not let me step out of the room. My temperature was high most of the time and we ended up pleading with the priestess to send the holy necklace to us rather than going to pick it up.It took a lot to convince the high priestess to entrust something so valuable to someone other than I, the recipient, but she finally relented and gave it to Laura accompanied by Sebastian. “Just touching this makes me feel so much better.” I sighed, rubbing a hand on the necklace. The other one I used to wear was sent back to the high priestess. “I’m glad,” Cahir said in a tired voice. There was a lot that needed to be done now that the battle was over. The number of casualties on our side was high. Corpses littered the streets, parents crying and mass funerals having to be held. There was also the matter of the sanction for the Greyson family. Their head had sponsored war on the pack so it wasn’t unfair to ha

    Melanie led us out of the hideout after the shootout and my fire incident. We’d been discovered so we had to find another shelter. “The Alpha is unreachable. The only hideout similar to this which I know is east so we are going east.” Melanie informed us. “Here,” she threw clothes at me. I gulped when she mentioned Cahir being unreachable even though I didn’t want to think the worst. I changed as fast as possible into the black clothes Melanie handed to me and donned the baseball cap. “What’s the situation?” I asked when we got into the car. “Aristo is still on the loose. Five of the twelve packs under Alpha Blood have betrayed Alpha Cahir but the others have mobilized into action. Two borders have fallen but the Alpha has sent back up and they’ll be strengthened soon,” Melanie spoke in a businesslike tone. “Are you comfortable?” She glanced at my stomach. “Y – Yeah.” My heart pounded nonstop so I knew my blood pressure had risen. Catching on fire left my skin dry but the baby wa

    *CAHIR*I was leaving my mate behind for the second time since this ordeal started. Unease pricked my skin and my wolf paced restlessly, more concerned for the safety of our mate than the safety of the millions of wolves in Alpha Blood. 'Are you sure she'll be fine?' Perseus asked, continuing to pace. 'Aristo, that bastard, you're sure he doesn't know that particular hideout?' 'I'm about sixty percent sure,' I responded truthfully, aggravating my wolf. 'He is the beta of this pack and he grew up roaming these grounds so there's every possibility that he knows the grounds better than me.' There was no shame in admitting that my beta was more familiar with my lands than I was – it was his duty to survey the pack and report to me, after all. 'Will Sihana be safe?' Perseus wanted reassurance but it was something I couldn't give him because I too had my doubts. It did not show on my face but I was terrified of leaving Sihana and the baby for a second, knowing my beta could find them and

    “What’s happening?” I asked, twiddling my thumbs as I heard the stampede getting louder and louder. “Alpha, the dungeons have been opened!” Someone opened a mind link and forgot to channel it to only the Alpha so the whole pack heard it. “We’re going into lockdown,” Cahir said. His eyes unfocused for a minute as he mind linked the heads of various brigades. “Let’s go, Sia.” He outstretched his hand to me and I took it with a puzzled expression.“Where are we going?” I asked. “You’re going to join them in the hideout closest to us. I’m sending you with a couple of warriors so don’t be scared.”“Oh.” I swallowed. Unlike him, I was already scared, terrified out of my mind. “You’re crushing my hand,” he muttered and I got back to my senses. “Sorry,” I muttered with a blush. “I’m just a bit nervous.” As if my body wanted to show just how nervous, flames rose on my hand and then flickered out. “This happens when I’m nervous.” I giggled in a high-pitched tone. “Don’t be nervous.” Cahir

    “What the –“ I gasped as the place went up in flames. “He’s quite meticulous,” Cahir said with a laugh, starting up his car. He had a carefree expression on his face, not like someone who just heard his best friend betrayed him and his pack would soon be under siege from more traitors. “You’re taking this rather well,” I commented. “It’s a bit funny. I never thought Aristo would betray me so I’m pleasantly surprised.” He chuckled. “And Alpha Blood which will go to shit without me yet they want to go against me,” he snorted. “It’s a funny scenario.” No, it wasn’t but I didn’t say anything. I fell asleep sometime during the long ride back to the pack and woke up once to drink water, my throat parched and aching. When we got to the Alpha Castle, Cahir was bundling me into his arms when I woke up. “Sleep. I’ve got you.” I snuggled up into his chest and went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up till late afternoon the next day and it was Cahir that woke me up, “We have to find a time to t

    “Cahir.” I touched his arm when he got closer, my lips trembling. He wouldn’t hurt me – I tried to convince myself of that but it didn’t stop my heart from shaking when he got closer with a weird look in his golden eyes. I wanted to look away but I forced myself to maintain eye contact. Beneath this wolf coated with blood and with feral eyes was my mate, the love of my life and the father of my child. “Cahir – do you –“ I wanted to ask if he recognized me but I couldn’t. What was I doing talking to a wolf that was stalking me? What was I doing reaching out to a feral wolf? But that feral wolf was my mate and I couldn’t let him go. Never. How many people had he killed for his fur to be coated in so much blood? What had he done before he entered this room? Could I still get my mate back from the abyss of bloodlust that seemed to have wrapped vice-like grips around him? The wolf got to me and buried its cold snot into my neck. I went as stiff as a board. There was no single scent of

    *CAHIR*“I don’t feel good about this,” Perseus mumbled after we bid our mate goodbye. Not only did I not feel good about sending my mate away when I wanted to have her in my sight every second of every day, I actually felt terrible. …I hate you! Those words she screamed at me haunted me till now. I knew she didn’t mean them, that she had uttered them in the heat of the moment, feeling hurt and betrayed that I went behind her back to plan this after I promised to never hide things from her. I knew all this but the words still stung. ‘Cahir, are you sure this is the best choice?’ Perseus asked, a gloomy cloud hanging around him as our mate went away. ‘It would be unwise to keep her shackled to our side at this point.’ I mumbled. ‘Greyson will attack in a few days and it's best she isn’t caught in the crossfire because I selfishly held on to her.’ It would be good to get things done and over with as soon as possible so I could have a peaceful life with my mate and baby.

    “You’re not going to get away with this,” I added to my vow.“That’s a bit cliché, don’t you think?” Aristo chuckled. “You don’t love me yet but you like me so I can make you love me.” He sounded so confident, so assured that I would come to love a person like him. I went over our past conversations to see if I had somehow led him on, if I’d ever behaved as if I saw him as more than a friend and my mate’s best friend. I knew I’d never flirted with him so I didn’t need to think hard. Then why was he so delusional? “I’ll dress her. Leave.” He barked at Sebastian. The other man looked at me for a brief second before he nodded and left the room. “So many disgusting men coveting what’s mine,” he hissed, shaking his head. It was easy to reconcile the present Aristo with the Aristo I knew. I thought it was difficult, felt it was difficult at first, but it actually wasn’t. He behaved the same but what I had chalked off as overt friendliness and disrespect that stemmed from his overfamiliar
