Sera’s POV

Still Moon Pack

“What did you just say?” I questioned in shock.

The others’ faces mirrored my expression. Millie was pale, and Bryan’s eyes went wide in shock. The twins glanced around in confusion. Their world was about to shatter, and they had no clue. My heart ached desperately for them.

A battle meant bloodshed, and that meant the death of our loved ones. This pack couldn’t afford to lose any more members. We were barely holding on now.

“Beta Ralf is back? I thought he had died off somewhere!” Millie’s disbelief was reflected in her voice.

Dad had beaten Ralf badly when he challenged him, but his fight with Amary had left him barely alive, and then his men had carried him away. Everyone had assumed his death.

However, I’d always known he would return, but not this soon. The pack was unprepared for battle.

I needed a rapid, strategic response.

I turned to Miles. “How many shifters are with

    Sera’s POVI stood and watched as Bryan left with the twins.“Seriously? His first mission as an enforcer?” Mille rolled her eyes at me.“I had to get him moving.” I shrugged as I glanced at her. The boy needed a push in the right direction. “Besides, he would have kept badgering us to join the battle.”“He can be so persistent.” Millie sighed. “What should we do about Ralf?”All my amusement died at her words. We had only defeated him with Amary’s help a year ago. Now, Amary couldn’t help us.“I have a plan, but only the moon goddess could help us now. The enormous difference between our warriors and Ralf’s concerns me.”Millie sighed, “We can only pray she protects us for the sake of the pups.”“Let’s head to the meeting room.”Millie and I headed out and towards the meeting room. We could hear murmurs of voices floating out of the room. It appeared news of the impending attack had spread throughout t

    Sera’s POVMillie and Milles moved towards me as the enforcers exited the room.“The plan seems acceptable. With proper execution, we could attain victory,” Millie said. She reached for my hand and held it in assurance.I looked towards Miles, who stared back at me. “What do you think?”“I agree with Millie. It isn’t perfect, but a starting point considering the pack’s situation. It would have a higher chance of succeeding with Amary, though.”I agreed with Miles. My wolf would have been the much-needed icing on the cake. Amary snorted in my mind. She was still nonchalant about the entire situation, and it was getting on my nerves. A little care would have been sufficient!My anger cooled and left me with my situation and the realization that I would have to confront it without escape.“Alpha, the team is ready!”An enforcer called out to me, interrupting my desolate thoughts. The five minutes was up. It was tim

    Sera’s POVBorders of the Still Moon PackThe chirping birds flew away, and rabbits raced into hiding. A sudden noise of breaking branches alerted us to the enemy’s approach. The rhythmic sounds of wolves’ paws hitting the ground drifted into my ears. A glance at the edge of the pack borders revealed Ralf’s fifty-man army. My pulse quickened at the impending battle.Miles signaled to the others to get into position. The enemy was a few minutes from the first trap we’d laid. I recognized Ralf’s medium-sized light brown wolf at the head of the team. Besides him was a menacing, thin black wolf riddled with scars. He had narrow, opaque eyes, which gave him a cunning look.The rest were medium-sized, average-looking-looking, hungry wolves. They looked like they’d not had a full belly for days. The fugitive life involved hiding and living a genuinely pathetic existence. Such wolves were greedy and malicious because of their life experiences.Ra

    Sera’s POVRalf continued his endless rants. His rage mounted as the seconds ticked, and he became reckless. I guess having your enemy in the light and you in the dark gave you the upper hand!“I guess you were never ready to take a position as Alpha. Look how the pack has become under your leadership. Come out and battle with me like a true alpha. This is a taint to Aidin’s legacy. Hmph! Your father would be so ashamed of who you’ve become.”I knew Ralf was taunting me, but it was getting to me. The mention of Dad had been the last straw. I clenched my fist with force, and my nails dug into my palm. Blood rushed to my head, and my heart beat in my chest. I couldn’t hear anything over the loud beating of my chest.I extended my claws, and my eyes glowed; my wolf awakened. I wanted so much to rip off his head as smoothly as I did his son’s. Relax, Amary, relax. We couldn’t afford to play his game. He had the advantage in numbers, and we had the adv

    Sera’s POVI hissed in pain, then looked down at my arm to discover a long, thin scratch mark. The battle dragged on. I gasped, and sweat trickled down my face. Watching the wolf, I calculated my next move.My strength had depleted, and this could spell disaster.The wolf was getting impatient, and I knew that was my cue to act. He lunged at me, and I remained motionless, watching as he raised a paw with sharp claws and went for my face.I slipped under him and plunged my claws deep into his belly. The wolf dropped dead with a grunt before me as I panted.My strength left me as I collapsed; I’d gained the upper hand by an inch. I felt a sharp pain in my neck and raised my hand to it. It appeared I didn’t escape unscathed after all.I moved behind a large tree to rest and regain my strength.Fighting continued behind me. I glanced around at the gory sight of bloods

    Draco’s POVThe earth rumbled, and a loud growl filled the air as we approached the borders of the Still Moon Pack. Silence, unusual for the Werewoods, hung over the rabbit- and birdless path. The tree branches shook as if startled by a significant force. Chaotic sounds of battle filled the woods as we got closer.“Alpha, it looks like there’s a battle going on up ahead,” Sebastian conveyed through the mind link. My team journeyed toward the Still Moon Pack, fulfilling a council directive.But that wasn’t my only goal. I would meet my mate, the Alpha of the Still Moon Pack, Sera Nerva.We raced forward in wolf form, and dirt flew up in our wake.

He landed at a distance, sending dirt flying all over.The rogue had a deep gash on his face. His left eye had only escaped by an inch. He stood in a hurry and scurried away in fear.My blood boiled as I watched him run off. I’d been so close to tearing him to pieces. My rage had yet to subside, and my heart pounded. I turned to my mate, only to find her watching me guardedly.A glance at her hitched my breath in my throat. She was stunningly beautiful.Locks of chestnut-brown hair curtained her oval face. She had a svelte figure. Her flawless skin shone under the sunlight with an ochreous hue. She possessed silky lashes over her hazelnut-shaped eyes. She glan

    Draco’s POV“That’s Sebastian, my Beta, and these are my team of enforcers,” I said with a wave towards Sebastian and the team, ignoring their weird looks.It surprised them to see me so chatty, considering I’d ignored the other alphas who’d tried to get friendly in the other pack we’d visited. But I wasn’t concerned about that. They’d understand in time.“I am Millie, the Beta of the Still Moon Pack. Thanks for lending a hand.”The petite female from before came forward, as my mate had no intention of continuing to entertain me. She was feisty, and I enjoyed it.“This is Miles, the pack’s delta and top enforcer.”I nodded at Miles. A thoughtful expression lingered on his face. He seemed lost in deep contemplation.“You must be tired from your trip. Let’s get you guys settled in the pack

    Draco’s POVI moved even closer to Aria as she watched me with that familiar, harmless, disarming smile on her face.But that smile couldn't disarm this Alpha as I was no fool. I watched her with a sharp look and a grim smile.“Which pack did you say you came from? Remind me.”My voice filled with murderous intent.“Alpha, I have lost…”I was waiting to hear her cooked-up stories when Sebastian’s voice came once again through the mind link.I put up a finger, signaling to Aria to hold on as my eyes glazed over, signaling that a connection had been established through the mind link.“Alpha, we have a situation here. We are having difficulty getting through the line of enforcer here.”“Enforcers?”“Yeah. A couple of enforcers are insisting we leave and have refused to let us in.”I let out a sigh as I ran my fingers through my hair, eyes still on the female shifter before me.This interrogation was going to wait.“I’m on my way now.

    Draco’s POV“Alright. Just approach the enforcers while I inform Sera,” I responded through the mind link.I took a glance at my reflection in the mirror, making sure there was no issue before exiting the room.Once I arrived at the Still Moon Pack with Sera from the Crescent Hills, and the pack knew my identity and purpose, they put me in the guest room at the far end of the west wing.It was a large and comfortable room which was just next to that of Miles and Max, but it was far off the east wing, which had Sera’s room at the extreme end of the wing.Since each wing had about 5-6 rooms, that placed about 8-10 rooms between my room and Sera’s room.As far away as possible.I’d caught Millie’s sly grin as she assigned me to the room, so I knew what she’d been up to.But I hadn’t minded.Because I had plans of my own.Plans to move from room 12 to room 1 in the uppermost wings of the pack house.I glanced at Max’s and Miles’ doors as I walked past, headed straight to my mate’s room.B

    Draco’s POV“Alpha, we are almost at the Still Moon Pack’s border.”Sebastian’s unmistakable voice came into my sea of consciousness as I slept, and my eyes immediately snapped open.I was in the large, Queen sized bed in the guest room of the Still Moon Pack’s pack house.“When will you be arriving?” I asked as I sat up on the bed, still grouchy from sleep.“We should be there by mid-morning. The team seems wary, but it’s more important to complete the trip ASAP. So, it’s nothing we can not handle,” Seb concluded.“Okay. Inform me when you arrive at the borders,” I said.“Yes, Alpha,” Seb replied and cut off the connection.I sighed as I fell back on the bed, my arms crossed behind my head, staring up at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the room.It was a beautiful piece with an intricate design and complex curves, but my mind was far away from it.I glanced around the guest room and sighed in satisfaction.The room’s sparse furnishings included mismatched furniture and a s

    Sera’s POV“Alpha, we have a problem!”I was in the pack’s dining area having breakfast with Draco, Miles, and Max, and finalizing the details for Draco’s pack when the doors burst open and Grace, Max’s sister, came in through the doors and exclaimed with a pale face.I glanced up at her, a frown creasing my brows as I asked, “Grace, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”She came forward panting.Max sent her a glass of water, which she gulped down without pause as we watched.“Some pack members who are against the merger of the two packs are kicking up a ruckus in protest!”I let out a sigh, all my appetite for the dish of cold roast chicken and a glass of strawberry juice before me long forgotten.After the incident with Ruby in the nursery, everything had passed in a blur, as preparations for the merger had occupied our time.After the meeting with the leadership of the pack, the news spread like wildfire in the pack. The pack members had mixed reactions to the news.The logical ones amo

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   The Twin Acceptance

    Sera’s POVWe all fell silent at Ruby’s words and even the pups around strained their ears, waiting to hear Draco’s reply.I turned to Draco, whom Ruby had put on the spot, as if I were watching a spectacle. We were all waiting to see how he’d handle her.As we all watched, Draco crunched down before Ruby, looking her in the eye. He let out his all too familiar wide grin and finally gave a reply.“Yes, I am Sera’s mate. My name is Draco, the Alpha of the Silva Moon Pack. I am the father of your niece or nephew, which is going to come out any time from now.”I gasped at his words.Ruby’s eyes took on a vicious glint, which I’d never seen, and she reached out to hit Draco before anyone could stop her.“Bad Alpha. You are the bad wolf that got Sera pregnant and left her all alone,” Ruby said, her hands crossed over her chest in defiance.My eyes widened, and I watched, amazed at how my sister had defended me. My eyes brimmed with tears and my vision blurred, but my heart surged with so m

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Ruby’s Antics

    Sera’s POV“You mean Alpha Draco of the Silva Moon Pack? The strongest shifter in all the Werewoods?” Max couldn’t keep his mouth closed as he stared at my mate, looking amazed.I fought hard to hold in my laughter, and the looks on Miles’ and Millie’s faces betrayed their amusement.Max had always been a fan of strong shifters and always raved about them. It was no wonder that he was also a fan of Draco, an Alpha who’d accomplished so much while we were all still playing around in the pack, merely pups.He’d become the young Alpha in his teenage years and built the strongest team of enforcers the Werewood has ever seen.That team was now going to move into this pack and become a part of us.I could already see Max’s reaction when he found out.Draco had a smug look at Max’s reaction to his identity. I hit him on his arm discreetly, while no one else was looking. He was having fun at my friend’s expense and I could have that.“Yes, in flesh and blood.” Draco responded with a slight

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Catch Up

    Sera’s POV“What?!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my ears.Max had delayed his return to the pack for so long that when we’d received a letter stating that he was close to the pack just before I got summoned by the Council, I’d brushed it off like it was another one of his reassurances.The harsh sound of screeching chair legs against the floor came from the side of the meeting room as Grace exclaimed with excitement, “My brother is back!”Like a whirlwind, she ran past the panting enforcer towards the exit, all thoughts of the ongoing meeting long forgotten.Miles and I exchanged glances.Max was back just in time before we begun big changes to the pack.I couldn’t help but be curious about the outcome of his investigation into the backgrounds and origin of the new pack members we had.It was just as well that we cleared out the spies before setting up the new pack.“Thank you, Joseph. You may take your leave,” I said to the messenger enforcer with a small smile.“Yes, Alpha.” He t

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Max is Back!

    Sera’s POV“What? A union of both packs? Mates? This is absurd!” Elder Philips exclaimed while the rest of my pack remained silent.“How is that possible? They can’t just command two shifters to get mated on a whim, right?” Max’s sheltered little sister, Grace, looked downright confused as she glanced around the room.We all knew that the Council could do whatever it pleased as it reigned supreme in the Werewoods, but no one was going to upset the she-wolf by telling her that.“The idea of uniting two packs is ridiculous. I mean, no one has ever tested it in the Werewoods,” Steve said, shaking his head slightly.“Which is why the Council has placed the union on a three-month probation. If either of the packs feels that strongly that things are not working out, they can secure a reversal by putting forth a convincing argument to the Council,” I said, hoping to reassure them.There was an inaudible sigh of relief that filled the room.Everyone looked relieved at my words, and the frown

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Breaking the News

    Sera’s POV“Just in time,” Cindy said, as she watched us walk into the dining area. Her face showed her disapproval as she stood arm akimbo in the large dinning.The Omegas assigned to the kitchen, Lydia and Aria, were clearing the dishes used by pack members during their breakfast and cleaning up the tables.We didn’t make it in time for breakfast with the pack.“Had you been a minute late, you would have had to microwave your meal yourself,” she said without a hint of a smile.The pack’s meal time was sacred to Cindy, and we always tried to ensure we made it in time every day. As the pack’s cook and the one in charge of our everyday meals, she hated food wastage even more.“Hello to you too, Cindy. I had to urge them to come down earlier. If not, they wouldn’t be out until noon,” Draco said as he moved forward to take a seat.I glared at him in mock outrage while Millie just looked from one person to another, confused by Draco’s statement.I ignored the snitching wolf and turned to
