When Lucas opened his eyes, it wasn't afternoon anymore. Everywhere was already dark; he could hear people talking outside their homes, so it couldn't be that late. Ava was still asleep and was glued to his body.He kissed her head, then tried to stand up, but she held on to him."Where are you going?" she said hoarsely."You are awake; I want to get us food. You must be hungry," he said and slid out of bed."I am, but not only for food," she said, then smiled cockily.Lucas laughed, then slapped her exposed thigh. "Temptress, let's get your stomach stuffed first before you get your p*ssy stuffed too."Lucas hurried outside, meeting a woman who almost bumped into him.He looked up, and it was one of his pack members; she had a tray covered by linen, but you could see the food outline in it."Good evening, Alpha. Eli told me to send this to you if you and Luna are no longer busy." The woman said, then lowered his head.Lucas' eyes shot up. "What do you mean, busy?""Sorry, Alpha, Eli s
Lucas was lying down beside Ava in deep slumber. Ava watched for a while as he snored away his problems, and she wondered why she just couldn't sleep like him."I should get some sleep," she murmured to herself.She turned her back on Lucas and shut her eyes. She laid down, still not making a sound while urging sleep to come to her rescue, but it was far from her.She jerked off the bed, picked up a jacket, threw it over her shoulder, and quietly strolled out of their room. She knew Lucas would be worried if he didn't see her by his side, but lying awake was so frustrating.She was outside the Davie Pack House; there wasn't much to see here like in the Dawn Pack House, and obviously no garden, but she just needed to clear her head. She sat down on a stone while enjoying the cool night breeze and the buzzing sound of the crickets."This is what we needed!" Layla exclaimed. Ava thought of letting Layla out to play; it had been a while since she let her out. It sounded like a great idea,
Ava was so happy. She finally met her mom. When she looked at Sarah Maynard, he saw the resemblance. This was her mom, the woman she had longed to meet all her life."I am so happy for what you have achieved so far, and I pray that the moon goddess helps you and your partner conquer his enemies.""I pray so, so where do you stay?""We live here in Davie pack, and I used to come to Moonlight pack sometimes to see our little girl, but then Ethan took control; besides, you weren't there anymore. We still visited hoping to see you, but when Fillip took control, we never visited again because he was ruthless.""Do I have any siblings?"Sarah laughed through her tears. "No, I had complications after your birth, so I couldn't get pregnant again.""I really don't know what to say anymore; I don't even know what I would like to call you."Sarah took her hand and said, "Call me anything you like, honey; I am just so happy I can finally tell you that I am your mother."Ava smiled. "I want to go
Keisha rubbed the scent she had made out of the flowers. She rubbed it generously on her body because it won't be long before Kiron came to bed. Then she threw the covers over herself, lying stark naked on the bed.He left after they had dinner to take care of things with Beta Cian and Eli. She wanted to cherish her time with him because it won't be long before Fillip found them.Like she had done these past few days, she would take his mind off everything tonight. She remembered his promise this evening when she stole a kiss from him and tried to go further. He had stopped her and promised to "pound" her so well that she wouldn't walk the next day. She wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere; the bed was where she wanted him tomorrow.But there was still one more thing that bothered Keisha about Kiron. She wanted to talk about their relationship with him and define it. There were rumours about how he lost his mate while moving around, but she wanted him to tell her by himself tomorrow. Kiro
"May I come in?" Kiron stood from the chair where he had been sitting."Yes, come in, beautiful."He had been discussing Lucas's return with Cian and Kiara that afternoon."Seems your lover is here," Cian said, and Kiron smiled."Good afternoon, Beta Cian, Kiara." Keisha greeted, then went to Kiron's side. He placed a hand around her hip."What is wrong?" he asked, then lifted her face, at which she scowled."You promised to take me to the forest, so I can let my wolf out.""I didn't forget, but the woods are not really safe now. I would have stayed with you, but I have some things to do before Alpha returns. How about another time?"She shook her head. "No, if anything happens, I can mind-link you. Now, please, will you be taking me?""Fine, but make sure you mind-link me immediately if anything happens."Keisha pecked him on the lips and said, "Thank you.""Awwwww, to be young and in love," Kiara said, then burst out laughing.Keisha blushed immediately, then buried her face in Kiro
When Alpha Lucas entered the prison, the two remaining spies tried to pull the silver cuffs off but weren't successful."Don't waste your time; those are silver cuffs laced with wolfsbane."They turned fearfully toward Lucas, and one started pulling his cuffs more forcefully.Cian and Kiron entered too. They began to arrange the torture equipment."From your reaction, I presume that you know me, and you also know what I do to those I consider harmful to my pack, right?"None of them answered; Lucas smiled, then turned to Cian."Tell them to bring the water in and pour it all over them.""Yes, Alpha."Cian went out, and a few minutes later, two men with big basins of water followed him in."Pour it all over them."They poured it all over them until Lucas stopped them briefly."Are you interested in taking your anger out on them? They are part of the black dynasty, which is why you don't have a pack,""Yes, Alpha Lucas," they all said in unison."Good. Select as many as you like and kno
Ava stirred when she felt Lucas rising from the bed; she had managed to lure him to sleep yesterday after their encounter at the meeting place. He had carried her to bed, and then she asked him to lie with her for a moment.She used the back of her hands to rub her eyes, then used her wolf sight to spot Lucas. He was dressing up."Are you already leaving?"He turned to her and said, "Yes, we have a few things to discuss before we leave, but we won't spend much time discussing them."Ava sighed, went to where he stood and threw her hands over his neck."Come home to me, Alpha Lucas De'Clan, the Alpha of Dawn Pack, protector of realms, and the biggest predator in the supernatural world."Lucas chuckled, "Did you just make the last one up now?"Ava shrugged, "Maybe, now answer me.""I will, Ava De'Clan, the Luna of Dawn pack and the woman that rules over my heart."Ava started to sniff. "Swear it," she said, her voice cracking."I swear with our son's life, I will be home with Fillip's h
A few minutes after they arrived, Lucas rang the bell and then announced that there would be a celebration that night. So in the next few hours, there was plenty of cooking from the women. The men busied themselves with renovating the buildings and restoring damages.Lucas had left with Kiron and about a hundred soldiers to look around the market, the roads, and every possible place Fillip could hide.When they arrived at the market, Lucas found out that the soldiers who were posted there were nowhere to be found. The traders said that they weren't there when they came in the morning."Maybe Fillip took them with him," Lucas said to Kiron."Yes, Alpha, since they disappeared this morning, it seems too much of a coincidence."Lucas growled lowly, "Remove the obstructions on the roads."The soldiers walked over many roads, clearing all the obstructions. They looked for Fillip in many places, but he wasn't there. Lucas left, but not before vowing to catch Fillip and tear him apart limb b
Ava opened her eyes and looked around; Lucas was sitting beside the bed, his legs stretched out in front of him, and he was eating an apple and doing some paperwork beside the bed."What are you doing?" She asked, then moved closer to where he sat."Just checking the documents that Kiron submitted. Is anything the problem?""Well, actually, there is a problem," Ava said and pouted."What is it, precious?" He said, looking worried.Ava hid a pleased smile; she sure knows how to his attention."The problem is that this is supposed to be a vacation; you shouldn't be working on our vacation; you promised to relax here."Lucas chuckled, "You were sleeping, so I decided to get a little work done since I wasn't sleepy. Is there anything you want us to do?"She looked at him coyly, then he chuckled, "I know that look; you are a vixen, precious.""No, I am your vixen, the one you created."He dropped his book. She walked over to him, then sat on his lap, straddling him. She circled her arms ar
Kiron stepped down from his truck and then headed towards his house. It was already dark; today had been a long day; moving back and forth from Dawn pack to Moonlight pack wasn't easy.Alpha Lucas had made him an ambassador after they won the pack back from Fillip and Vulcan. He was in charge of helping Moonlight pack, now a colony of Dawn pack. Sometimes it was big work because Eli was way over his head, but he tried his best to be a fair and truthful Alpha.This job was more tasking than when he was just a Gamma to Lucas, It meant less time for him and Keisha to fool around, but she never complained.Sometimes, He only comes home for a few days or returns so late with no desire to do anything but sleep.He hardly delegated his duty when he was just a Gamma, so he found it hard to delegate now. He always likes to supervise everything himself, so he can ensure it's been run effectively.Speaking of Keisha, she was his wife now. She still helped in the nursery, but it wasn't a job; she
Keisha looked into the mirror to make sure her face mask washed off very well. She was still waiting for the makeup artist.Today was her wedding day; Kiron had talked to Lucas, and he had agreed to let them have their wedding a day before the moon festival.But then it was two weeks until the moon festival, so time wasn't on their side, but Kiron had insisted that they still do it on that day.Thanks to Luna, Ava, and Kiara, because they were like her fairy godmothers, they helped her plan everything in such a short time.She could still remember the morning she announced her engagement to Luna, Ava, and Kiara.Ava had hugged her and said, "Wow, I am so happy for you."While Kiara looked excitedly at the ring, she said, "Took him a damn long time, but he still did it before we kicked his ass."They had all laughed, then asked about the wedding plans and shared parts of them among themselves.Kiara's gown was modernized for her. Kiron had some people come take her measurements. The ne
"Where are we going?" Keisha asked Kiron again.They had been left in charge of the pack, but then Beta Cian and Kiara returned in the night, so Kiron had some free time on his hands.Since he was named Ambassador, he had mostly been so busy with his duties that he was always transporting goods to Moonlight Pack. Though Keisha was happy about his promotion, she missed him greatly whenever he was away.He had given her a beautiful gown today and then told her to dress up. She wanted to know where they were going, but he wasn't coming forward with information."It's a surprise. Now get dressed around six in the evening and meet me in the fields," he said, then left.She had washed her face and then headed to the nursery. She no longer worked in the nursery but helped there as she wasn't just ordinary Keisha anymore; she was the Gamma's partner now.When she arrived, the children ran towards her, many of them fighting to be in her arms.She led them back to class, greeting all the nurser
After a while, buffets and buffets of food were brought out.Yara served them their choices, but Kiara wasn't yet back from the bathroom."Hey, which bathroom did my mate go into?""The one at the back of the store is the building beside the hall.""Okay, thanks."Cian excused himself and left the hall.Alpha Daryl stood up and went to the podium."Thank you all for coming to make today all fun. I have the name of everyone here that has a mate in this box, including the Alphas."People began to murmur."Shhh, if I pick your name, you will come out and sing for your beautiful mate that the moon goddess gave you. Now let me shake the box."He shook the box so hard that some names wanted to fall off. He dipped his hand and then brought one out.He opened it, was shocked for a moment, and then smiled."Alpha Lucas De'Clan, the podium is yours."Everyone began to clap while Ava nudged Lucas, who sat with an emotionless look on his face.He looked at Ava's face for a while, then stood up. H
After checking on Ramsey, they saw he was fine with Nani, who fed him special meals. Ava begged Nani to watch him, then set out with Lucas.They walked to the pack's forest and then dropped everything they came with. Before leaving, they packed a blanket, dried meats, water, and fruits. Lucas carried most of the heavy stuff, while Ava just carried the fruit basket.They dropped the items beside a tall, old tree."Did you know the Dawn pack would have been built here instead of up there?""No, why would it have been here?""I wanted to do that, but Cian and the others convinced me not to cut down the trees and build more houses here."Ava nodded. "Look, there's a house over there, but it's depleted.""I know; that is where I used to live; there's plenty you don't know about me.""There's plenty you don't know, too," Ava challenged back."Of course, life is precious, yet we still live so happily. Come, let's go see Erasmus and Layla."Ava undressed, crouched on all fours, and shifted in
Lucas woke up and kissed his wife and his little boy. The previous night, Ava had tried to put Ramsey to bed in his room, but he started to cry."Mom, No!"He kept crying until Ava returned with him; he had slept with them on their bed. He keeps complaining that he sees Fillip in his dreams, and they have to find a way to make him stop seeing Fillip. Nani has already begun to work on a potion.Ava woke up, too, then slowly tiptoed over to Lucas, who was dressing up because Ramsey was still sleeping."Are you leaving already?""Nope, I will be back for breakfast. I just wanted to check on a few things for Madeline's funeral service."Ava nodded, "Then get going, so you will be back for breakfast; remember, we are waiting for you.""Okay, precious."Lucas walked towards his office and then spotted Levi Stone, the one he had temporarily put in charge of the soldiers and the one organizing Madeline's funeral.He was giving orders to two soldiers carrying the flowers to be careful. Lucas s
Under normal circumstances, Lucas De'Clan would have killed the guard and then killed Fillip too, but this time, Ramsey was involved in it. He kicked the guard's leg and then held him by the neck."Daddy, come take me," Ramsey cried out."I will, handsome; now I will be a big boy for Daddy, okay?""Okay."Lucas directed at Filip. "Let Ramsey go, or I will kill this guard."Fillip chuckled, "Does it seems like I care? Kill him if you want to. There are ten more guards here.""I can kill them all, Fillip; you, of all people, should know that.""You can, but you won't. Now let him go, or I will kill your son."Lucas pushed the soldier away and then raised his hand in surrender. "I know it's me you want; now, let Madeline and Ramsey go."Fillip smiled and said, "No, here's Madeline." He pushed her towards Fillip."Who says you would behave if you had Ramsey? You would turn to Erasmus and kill us all."Lucas caught Madeline and untied her hand, asking, "Are you okay?"She nodded, "Save Ram
"I can't believe that asshole would dare kidnap my son!" Lucas growled, slamming his hand on the table."Calm down, Alpha Lucas. Let's find a solution," Eli said."We will, but when I get my hands on Fillip, I will tear him apart limb by limb, and I will give him a prolonged and painful death. For fuck's sake, how can he kidnap a little kid because of his selfish interests.""I say we sneak in tonight as we did before, get Ramsey, then that asshole," Kiron suggested."No, we already did that once; besides, he knows that Nani may have reached the Dawn Pack by now. He would probably expect us to try to sneak in, so it's a bad idea," Cian advised, and then Kiron cursed."So what do we do then?" Eli asked."Maybe I should go alone as he suggested; that way, I will get my son.""Hell no, Alpha. Fillip won't give you Ramsey. We all know he is a corny asshole. He will only kill you, then Ramsey too," Cian said."I am not afraid of dying; I just wish I could get my son. Besides, you will be a
