As we pulled away from the embrace, I felt the weight of our previous argument still hanging in the air. I could see that a cautious acceptance was slowly replacing my mother's worry, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something more sinister was lurking beyond our immediate concerns.

We gathered the rest of the pack for an emergency meeting, each member looking apprehensive. The day's events had spread like wildfire, and now everyone was on edge. I stood before them, clearing my throat to capture their attention.

“I know today was a close call,” I began, my voice steady despite the adrenaline rush still coursing through me. “But we are stronger than we realise. The rogues won’t just back off easily. They will come again, and when they do, we need to be prepared.”

Ryder stepped forward, his eyes flashing with intensity. “I suggest we step up patrols immediately. We’ve already started gathering everyone for a watch rotation. We can’t let them have the upper hand.”

The pack murmured

    Luke pov As the shadows slowly began to release their grip on me, an instinctive anger ignited within, burning hotter than the darkest depths of the void that had threatened to swallow me whole. All around, I could sense my pack gathering strength—Carrie’s fierce determination, Ryder’s unyielding loyalty, and Rachel's frightened yet resolute presence in the corner of my mind. Our shared bond pulsed like a heartbeat, commanding me to fight back.“You think you can break free?” the black wolf taunted, his voice echoing through the night like thunder. “This realm belongs to the darkness now!”Ignoring his bravado, I focused on the shared energy radiating from my packmates. Each heartbeat was a reminder of what we stood to lose. We were more than just a collection of wolves—we were a family woven together by our struggles, victories, and unbreakable bonds. “Together!” I shouted, pulling every ounce of strength from my soul and feeling the power surge to the surface. “We won’t give in!”

    Luke pov The black wolf snarled, his eyes narrowing with fury as he calculated his next move. We were no longer just a pack of wolves; we were a force of nature, an unquenchable flame ignited by our collective resilience and unity. With every heartbeat, the anticipation surged through us, amplifying each flicker of power as we stood against him, determined to banish the darkness that had haunted the edges of our lives. “Enough!” he roared, charging at me, the darkness pooling around him in a furious torrent. I could feel the malevolence radiating off him like heat from a fire, trying to instil fear within our hearts. Yet, as he bore down on me, I could see the uncertainty behind that ferocity. He was no longer the predator; he was desperate. “Together!” I shouted again, urging my pack to rally. Carrie and Ryder poured their strength into the barrier of light that Rachel had conjured, reinforcing it as we prepared for his assault. As the black wolf lunged toward me, time seeme

    "I, Alpha Miller, hereby reject you, Isla Higgins, as my mate and Luna of the Pembroke pack," he said with a smirk as his beta pinned me against the wall. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and I felt a physical ache in my body as pain penetrated through me. “There is no competition here.” Mora piped up as she wrapped herself around me, fated mate. That hurt. A lot. It hurt me, even more, when he pulled Mora Evans into his chest and kissed her with such passion and lust. How could he do this to me? I was supposed to be his fated mate. Not that nasty girl that everyone seemed to love and adore. I glared at her in frustration. I wanted to punch the life out of her fake image. This was the girl who had taken everything from me, and she had made my life hell from as far back as I could remember. “You do not deserve such good things in your pathetic life. Even your own sister despises you and your brother is not even here.” Alpha Miller added with a chuckle. “C

    "Tell me the truth, and you owe me that at least," I shouted at my big brother as he mopped himself up with tissues. " OK, look, it is not such a big deal, but I got involved with a girl. She had a mate, and he found out. Now he wants my guts for garters. She is also pregnant, and her father says if it is mine, then he is expecting me to mark and be mated to her." "Isla, there is nothing to be frightened of; we will be fine, so will you just please stop stressing out at me." He sighed and gave me a look. "Are you serious right now?" I threw my hands up in the air, feeling so fed up. My brother was such a douchebag. How could he be so damn stupid? Throwing the discarded tissues onto the back of the car, he turned to me with eyes blazing and said, "Well, if you had never run away, then we would not be here right now." Five whole years of being away from my family, and now I am being blamed for stuff that is not even my fault. "I think you forgot the part where this

    We stopped outside our mother's bedroom, and Cora stood in the way of the door. “I need you to be prepared for this. She is not herself at all. It was all so strange. She went out for a run and came back like she was not all there. She has been going downhill ever since. Dad had to order her not to shift because of what she was doing to herself.” Cora explained in a hushed whisper as if afraid someone would hear her. “Daniel never mentioned this much detail.” I shook my head, trying to make sense of it all. Cora took my hand and pushed the door open, and we went. Nothing could prepare me for my mother lying in bed, and she was asleep when we arrived in her bedroom. Cora gripped my arm, and I took a deep breath. “Isla, he does not like to talk about it. He only called you back to Pembroke because it was what Mother wanted.” I raised an eyebrow and glanced at my sleeping mother. She was so beautiful, but she looked so different to how I remembered. “She looks so

    “Oh my goddess! Isla. Is that you?” I grinned up at the girl standing a few feet in front of me. Aly. She wiped her forehead with her hand and gasped at seeing me. “Yeah, it is me.” She looked so happy to see me, and it warmed my heart to see my old friend. She manoeuvred around the half-stacked chairs to hug me. As she got closer to me, I could not help but see the mark on her neck. She had found her mate. Wow. Me and I certainly had a lot of catching up to do. Maybe she could fill me in on what was going on around here. “Did you miss me that much that you came back after what, five nearly six years?” Aly gushed. She was so surprised yet happy to see me here. “Oh Aly, I am so happy to see you, but I returned because Daniel said my mother was unwell. She needed to see me.” I sighed and instantly noticed how Isla clammed up. “Would you like to have something to eat?” She suddenly seemed intent on distracting me from this conversation. “Aly?

    “Do you think this is acceptable?” Mora growled at Alpha Miller when he did not immediately defend her. She did not like how he was acting and the way he could not keep his eyes off me. Mora was jealous! A small part of me felt good about the tables being turned, she would know how I had been made to feel since the day I found out he was my mate. He had rejected me and made me feel like a worthless piece of shit. I cried for days after that, felt lower than a limbo stick on its lowest setting. They had destroyed my dreams of having my happy ending. They were the reason that I had left my life here, my family and everything I had ever known. When I had arrived at my uncles pack, I had been a right mess. But meeting Zara she had become my rock. We hit it off and became the best of friends. She was the one to make me realise that I deserved better than him anyway. The moon goddess has made a huge mistake when pairing me with him. He was selfish an

    Alpha Miller’s POV Seeing her again after all this time has made me realise what I did that day was wrong. Mora may be my chosen mate and carrying my pup but the way I feel when I see Isla is a different story. She is literally out of this world. I should have never rejected my true Luna. She is gorgeous, stunning and just beautiful. I do not know what I was thinking that day, when she left Pembroke, I felt as if a huge part of me was missing. She had never accepted the rejection, just packed her things and left without any warning. If I had known then I would have stopped her and made her stay but how could I? I had already rejected her, chosen Mora as my mate and Luna. Mora was a beautiful she wolf that all the unmated wolves wanted back then. I saw how they would drool over her. Everyone loved and respected Mora, that was why I felt she was Luna material. Isla was the complete opposite, teased and ignored by many. She was treated like an omega alth

    Luke’s POV As we stood there, the rogues slowly backing away, Carrie's voice echoed through the cave. I could sense her power building, knowing she was getting angry. Her eyes were blazing with fierce determination, and I could see the wolves within her starting to stir."You're not taking anyone else from my pack," she growled, her voice low and menacing.Ryder, still in his wolf form, let out a snarl, and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. The two remaining rogues took another step back, their eyes darting between us.I took a step forward, my power growing in response to Carrie's. "You're not going to hurt anyone else," I said, my voice firm.The rogues hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran. We let them go, knowing that they wouldn't be able to escape for long. We had won this battle, but we knew that there would be more to come.I glanced over at Ryder, who was still in his wolf form. He was panting heavily, his eyes still burning with anger. I coul

    Luke’s pov We returned to the pack, exhausted but determined. Our parents were already there, discussing the situation with the other pack members. "I think we should split our pack into smaller groups and patrol the surrounding areas," my father suggested. "We need to catch these rogues off guard and take them down before they can do any more harm." I nodded in agreement. "I think that's a good idea, father. But we also need to come up with a plan to protect Carrie. She's the key to this whole thing." Carrie looked up at me, her eyes still flashing with anger. "I don't need protection," she growled. "I can take care of myself." But I knew that wasn't true. The rogues were too strong, too cunning. She needed our help to stay safe. Even if she was powerful and able to beat anyone down. We still needed to protect her as she got used to her powers and understood them better. Ryder suddenly stepped forward. "I'll stay with her," he said. "We'll keep her safe, no matter wha

    Luke’s POV “Rachel, go fetch my parents,” I yelled as she ran to alert my pack. Carrie and Ryder remained with me. I wouldn't let anything happen to her, and as the future alpha, I had to stand my ground. “What do you want from this pack? Why don't you leave and never return? You're not welcome here.” I growled as the prominent rogue leader finally stood before us. He eyed me curiously before a cunning smirk formed on his face. “You came to the city. Your sister came after you. She was nice enough to leave her portal open so we could return here. What we want is behind you.” he answered gruffly. I glanced to my side and realised that he was referring to Carrie. He wanted Carrie. All this was about my sister. “We have been searching for her for many years now. You see, she isn't like any of you. She isn't one of you.” he explained, and I felt my sister tremble with confusion behind me. “You're not taking her anywhere. She's my mate.” Ryder snarled, and I held him

    Luke pov Luke pov I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the retreating figures of Carrie and her new mate. My mind was racing with questions and concerns. Who was this guy? What pack was he from? What was his story? And what did he have to do with my sister?My mother's words echoed in my mind - "stop her". But I knew it was too late. Carrie was determined to follow her heart, regardless of anyone else's thoughts. And as much as I wanted to protect her, I knew that trying to stop her would only push her further away.I turned back to my parents, who stared at me with worry and despair. My father's expression was etched with concern, while my mother's face was wet with tears."Luke, please," she said, her voice shaking. "You have to talk to her. Make her see reason."I shook my head, feeling a pang of guilt. I wanted to believe there was still a way to turn back the clock, to make Carrie see that this guy wasn't good enough for her. But deep down, I knew it was too late."She's made up he

    Carrie’s POV I could feel the weight of my parents' disapproval bearing down on me as we walked away from them. I knew they would never understand me, never accept Ryder as my mate. But I didn't care. I was done being controlled, done being told what to do and who to be with. Ryder squeezed my hand, his grip tight and reassuring. "We'll figure it out," he said, his voice low and steady. "We'll find a way to stop the rogue wolves and ensure you're safe." I nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. We would do it, no matter what my parents said or did. We would find a way to make this work. As we walked, the trees seemed to grow taller and darker around us, casting long shadows across the forest floor. I could feel the moon rising above us, its light casting an otherworldly glow over everything. "Where are we going?" Ryder asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "I don't know," I admitted. "I just know I can't go back there. Not now." Ryd

    Carrie’s POV “Please give me a moment with my daughter.” my mother said, dragging me away from Ryder and prying eyes.“You cannot accept him as your mate, Carrie.” she insisted, and I felt my blood boil through my veins. Was she being serious? The moon goddess had paired me with Ryder for a reason! How could she expect me to ignore that? I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, but my mind was racing with thoughts of Ryder and the danger he was in. I knew my parents were trying to protect me, but I couldn't shake the feeling that they didn't understand.“Carrie, your mother is correct. We don't know him at all. He could be anyone.” my father agreed with my mother. Not that I could expect anything different since they never disagreed over anything. "MOTHER, FATHER! Please," I said, trying to reason with them. "Ryder is trying to help us. He's willing to put his life on the line to protect us. He knows what he is talking about. Why won't you give him a chance?
