“Do you like him?”Tania threw back and Lydia sighed, this Luna, was really hard to communicate with, she was so defensive against her and didn’t seem to like her at all or maybe it was their pack she didn’t like. But with her determination and strong will, if she could be won over by the Alpha, she would be his strongest support in the pack. Don’t go around thinking Wild Willows was some peaceful pack with peace-loving people. The whole pack was split into two factions, those who were loyal to Justin to the bones and those who now saw Cod as their new Alpha believing Justin’s era was gone.In the first three years, Justin’s faction was so strong that they made sure he still sat on the seat of Alpha despite his lack of interest but after so long, with Justin, who was ignorant of all the underground activities of the pack, unknowingly allocating more power to Cod, Cod had won over more than half of the those still loyal to Justin. The reason why Cod had not been crowned Alpha was bec
“Henry!”“Henry!!”"Henry!!!"Tania’s angry shriek echoed through the corridors of the mansion as she hurried along it, her face twisted in anger and her plump red lips pursed in a thin fine line. Her upturned buttock and thin waist twisted violently as she walked. One look at her behind, and one would wonder if she were a model on a runway.She threw open the door to the Alpha’s office almost scaring the man who had been lost in thoughts out of his seat, he didn’t hear her shout at all.“Tania?" He was shocked to see her, his eyes involuntarily sized her up, from the denim button-down shirt she wore while leaving two of the buttons open, giving one a peek of her white sexy cleavage, to the high waist black shorts which barely made it to half of her thigh accentuating her long straight legs that were enhanced by the seven-inch heels on her feet. He swallowed. This woman.... Why was she coming into his office dressed like this, he wondered as he checked her out, but the moment he me
One look at Kaila, and one would doubt she was a she-wolf, she looked more like a cute puppy than a wolf, that look of hers that evoked one's pity was just the type that Tianna disdained the most. She was just eighteen years old this month and had found that she was the Alpha’s true mate on her birthday, which shocked everyone in the pack, after all, her sister had just rejected the same Alpha the previous month.A lot of people couldn’t dare to think of the mess that would have become of the pack if Tania had agreed and then found out that her little sister was the true Luna.“Don’t pass aggression on Kaila, Tania.” Tania looked up at the sound of the familiar voice and stared at the woman who held a sixty percent resemblance to her but was way older.“Mom.” Kaila called with a smile, “When did you return?”Gina smiled at her lovingly and patted her back as she walked in, “I rushed home with your father as soon as I heard the news about your sister.”“News sure does travel fast.” T
“What?”“I said no! I will not let you become a rogue again. I will not!”Tania snorted, folded her hand around her chest, and looked at her mother condescendingly, “So what do you plan to do then, Mom? Tie me up and deliver me to the new pack yourself?”“If I have to,” Gina replied with determination and Tania couldn’t help but burst into laughter.“You’re kidding right?”“I am not!” Gina sighed, trying to calm her temper, “Tania please, listen to me for once, I know you hate me, I wouldn’t stop you from hating me…”“You can’t stop me from feeling however I wish to feel, neither can you stop me from going wherever I want to go, Mom. The Alpha gave me two choices, one was to be an alliance mate or become a Rogue. I chose the latter. Do you want to go against your precious pack for me?”Gina opened her mouth to speak but Tania immediately interrupted her, “No need to reply to that. Even if you want to, I will not appreciate it. The days when I needed you or your approval are long gone,
Miles away from the Dark Moon pack where Tania had created a mess, was a rather peaceful pack. The dark starless night had everyone turn in for the night early, making the pack so dark and silent, that one would have mistaken it was an abandoned town if not for the lights that shined from the windows of the small cozy homes that belonged to each family.By the dark windows of a mansion there, a pale-looking man stood and stared at the cloudy sky, Lightning raged in the distance, issuing the threat of a downpour. The occasional lightning illuminated his astonishing facial features making him look like the vampire lord of a castle.Alpha Justin, however, was no vampire nor was he a descendant of one. He is none other than the Alpha of the renowned Wild Willows pack, a pack known for its military prowess, orderliness, and oneness. The one who made all that happen was none other than this pale-looking Alpha, a man too sick to see or bask in the sun for long. The Wild willows’ secret which
Tania, who was unaware of the fact that her pack had declared her wanted or that the pack she was approaching had a shocking secret waiting for her, traveled all night through the heavy rain so she could get to her destination as soon as possible, but despite her speed, she only arrived at the Wild Willows pack the next afternoon.By the time she arrived at the border, she had been driving for more than twenty hours, was exhausted from all the driving, and had a temper and it didn’t take long for the patrols to know that. However, they still kept calm knowing she was a pack wolf, not a rogue.“Ma’am, you have to calm down and identify yourself and the purpose of your visit. No matter how mad you are, we can’t allow you into the pack if you do not do that.” “Didn’t I just do that? I said I am the Alpha’s mate. Didn’t you hear me the first time?” Tania asked with irritation while the patrol guard took a good look at her. She had pink hair, or was it a wig? He wasn’t even sure, her na
The Wild Willows was a very superstitious pack with many traditions, just as only he who had the Alpha’s blood could be Alpha, the Gamma was sworn to protect the Alpha’s true mate with his life. From the moment he is sworn in as the gamma, his wolf is enabled to detect the Alpha’s true mate and he shows utmost loyalty and submits to her, no matter who she is. Other than the pack leaders, very few people knew of this but this sign has also been a second proof that shows that a woman was the Alpha’s true mate. But now, he was not just the Alpha’s Gamma but also his best friend. He grew up with Justin and fought alongside him since he was a child, if Justin had not been feeling guilty towards his brother, he would have been his beta, now he had to bow to this woman.This was hard for him, but his body obeyed like he was a robot and his mouth spoke to her respectfully as if he was her right-hand man. This action of his, also successfully surprised the maids who were supposed to be movin
“Yes, Miss Tania.”Connor replied with humility which surprised everyone except Justin, who already knew why, and Tania, who didn’t really mind.Justin finally understood why Connor had no comment about Tania, after all, who was he to judge or give an opinion concerning his true Luna? He looked at the woman who had her eyes on Cod now, thoroughly scrutinizing him, and sighed. He could guess what she was thinking, she probably thought Cod was the Alpha and that was why she ignored him, even though that made him unhappy, he couldn’t help but wonder how she would take it when she knew it was him.As for the other three, they were busy wondering when Connor became so obedient, especially Aubrey who had never been liked by Connor. Since she wanted to win Justin’s heart, she had done all she could to walk into his life, including getting the favor of his best buddy Connor but failed miserably, now, Connor was being respectful to a lowly alliance mate who was dressed like a clown. Why? Sh

Cod stared at Justin, unhappiness etching his brow, could it be that Justin had fallen for that woman?“But you know this is dangerous, yeah? She is like a ticking time bomb,” At least for him, that woman was, “…I don’t think she would stay in the pack for long. Now that you are depending on her for your health, what would you do when she suddenly leaves?” Cod words sounded like concern but somehow his tone sounded like he was mocking Justin.“Like I said, before, if she wants to leave, I would let her. After all, I have become used to being ill… I just hope she gives me a chance to get to know her.” Justin murmured the last part, but Cod heard anyway and he was surprised.“You like her already? You just met yesterday and if I remember correctly, you didn’t seem to like her very much.”Justin laughed a little not wanting to say he had fallen in with her sleeping face and wanted to see it every day, “I guess the mate bond is fickle like that.”“Really? When I saw your actions yesterday
Tania ate her breakfast with great satisfaction while ignoring Justin who stared at her through the breakfast but hadn’t said a single word. He didn’t know what to make of this woman, he didn’t understand her at all.The best thing was to stay away from people as unpredictable as her and yet here he was, sitting and not leaving, well he knew there was nowhere to go, as he could not climb up the stairs without the help of a wheelchair or the strain would be too much on his heart.But he could not ask Aubrey for help either, seeing the way Tania treated her and he didn’t fight for her, nor could he ask the maids, because... well, it was just so embarrassing. He still had some pride to protect after all.Tania’s indifference to him however was unsettling, just some minute ago she had given him attention, not a good one but it was attention nonetheless, now, she acted as if he was invisible. What was her deal?At this time, Tania dropped her cutlery, wiped her lips, and stood up, “Where ar
Justin declared his sovereignty over Tania as her mate for the first time and damn, it felt good, but a part of him was confused, he didn’t understand what this woman’s deal was. Yesterday, he saw the anger in Connor’s eyes when she bit his lips and threatened him to agree to her staying here. He had to admit, he felt angry and threatened.He was even sure everyone now labeled her the number one person they had to protect him from, but seeing that this woman didn’t even want to stay with him anymore made him feel a sense of crisis. Why?He couldn’t possibly like her, right?“Don’t flatter yourself Alpha,” Tania's voice resounded in his ears as if in response to his question, “…a weak man like you also thinks he has the right to claim possession of a mate? Didn’t you hear that your heart is weak?” Tania smiled wickedly, “Or shall I remind you?”Justin felt happy and eager almost immediately, when he noticed his eagerness, he was stunned. What was wrong with him, was he masochistic? He
“Justin?” She was shocked and the man who had a head full of bed hair was equally embarrassed when he saw her, he had also woken up early to ensure he took his bath and got dressed before Tania woke up.“I mean, sorry, Alpha. Why are you coming from that room?” Aubrey asked wide eyes, hoping it was what she thought.“Oh, I spent the night here,” Justin said casually before hurrying back to his room, leaving Aubrey stunned. He did what…? He slept there? He didn’t sleep with Tania? He didn’t… A smile broke up on her face. Of course, how could the man she had been chasing for more than five years and couldn’t win, suddenly fall at the feet of some rude woman because she claimed she was his mate. She should have known, she should have trusted her precious Justin.She giggled then paused, come to think of it, he immediately told her why he was there, was it to explain to her that he didn’t sleep with Tania? Was it to make it so she wouldn’t misunderstand?She felt like screaming for jo
Tania spent over thirty minutes in the bathroom, and by the time she was out, Justin was nowhere in sight. She looked around the gloomy room and sighed, the haughty look on her face disappearing. She walked to the bed and sat on it after ensuring the door was locked. What was she supposed to do here? She wondered.Then her eyes fell on the door to the walk-in closet which was left slightly ajar, she stood up and went in only to see that Justin’s clothes on the right side had been vacated and squeezed on the left side while the space now contained her clothes, obviously the maids had been here while she was still in the shower.Seeing this, she chose simple cargo pants with a crop top and had her makeup done exquisitely before heading downstairs for lunch. Lunch was a simple ham sausage bean soup and a large jug of orange juice for beverage. There was also a maid there who was ready to attend to her every need and all the other house members were nowhere in sight, which pleased her v
“Aubrey? What’s wrong with you?” Cod asked the moment Aubrey walked into the Alpha’s office with tears running down her eyes.“What is wrong? How can you ask me that Cod? Was this what you’ve always wanted? Was this how you wanted things to be? Did you hate me so much? I thought you were on my side. I thought you wanted Justin to be with me!”“Of course I do! You know that I want that more than anyone else.” The confused Cod told her.“That’s not true! Because if it were true that bitch wouldn’t be upstairs right now! I did everything you asked, so tell me, explain to me why you would treat me like this!”Cod stood to his feet and approached, “Aubrey, you need to calm down, I don’t understand what you are talking about, why you are mad, or who made you cry, but I promise you, that woman means nothing to Justin and this pack. She’s just a figurehead, Justin is yours and you are the rightful Luna of this pack.” He coaxed her as he rested his arms on her shoulders intimately. But Aubrey
“What?! You can’t do that!” Aubrey was the one who spoke this time.“Why not? I don’t like climbing so high, it’s too much stress, I want to live on the first floor and since we are mated…,” Tania allowed her fingers to trail along Justin’s shoulders as she spoke, “…Justin will naturally stay with me. Right, Justin?” She turned to Justin, who frowned but didn’t reply.“Tania, the Alpha can’t stay on the first floor. He has to be kept in the safest and most protected room in the mansion” Aubrey told her in anger, throwing away honorifics at this point.Tania scoffed at her words, “Why do you make him seem like some rare treasure? He is the Alpha, who would be taking care of the pack if he’s hidden here? Who even made this rule? There isn’t a single guard stationed in the mansion, so what makes the 'fourth floor' so safe? The stairs?!” She looked from Aubrey to Connor who also had a disagreeable frown on his face, but neither answered the question.“Never mind, don’t answer that, I don’
“Miss Tania, why are you here?” Justin asked with a frown when he saw Tania barge into his room, but she ignored him and instead looked around the room with interest.“Miss Tania, you shouldn’t be here, the Alpha is tired and needs to rest,” Aubrey spoke up angrily. She didn’t understand what this woman was here to do, shouldn’t she be fuming with anger somewhere?“Since when were you his mouthpiece?” Tania asked, glancing at her before resuming her inspection around the room, touching things and looking around as if the place was hers.“I am the Alpha’s nurse and I understand the needs of my patient more than anything. Please Miss Tania, you need to leave.”“I don’t think you have a right to tell me that,” Tania said again as she stood in the middle of the room staring at Aubrey as if she was a jumping clown, her every word angering Aubrey who was trying to maintain the persona of a calm person.The only problem was no one could remain calm around Tania unless she decided not to prov
