••• Aleena’s POV ••• “Phew.” I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand. Why would Kyson have such a huge bed? It’s so big and heavy. It took nearly all my strength just to change the sheet. I quickly tidied everything up, checked the room, and once I was sure everything was cleaned, I left the room and went back to my bedroom to take a bath. Taking off all my clothes, I stepped into the shower, letting the cold water cool down my body. I had been feeling a little hot since I woke up, but not due to a fever. Maybe the weather is a little extra hot today.. After finishing the shower, I reached out to take my towel, but my hand touched an empty space. Oh no, I forgot to bring my towel, even my change of clothes! Oh well, I could just dry my body and wear my clothes in my room. It’s not like anyone would enter my room. I just took two steps from the bathroom door to my bed, where I had put my towel and change of clothes, when I heard the door of my room being opened.
••• Kyson’s POV ••• I watched as Night fingered her. I wanted to be the one who helped her, but I had promised Night that he would be the one helping her this time. And damn Night to be the first one to feel her mouth wrapped around our cock! I kept watching her moaning, and I groaned as I imagined the feeling of her pussy clenched around my fingers last time. Her moans grew louder, and I knew that she was close. Night was rough, yet she loved it. Fuck, I’ll still be in a rut when she cum and calms down. Maybe I really need to fuck another she-wolf. She moaned louder as Night made her cum. “Night.. I’m.. I need more.. I’m still burning. Please.. I need more..” I heard Aleena beg as her body started to wriggle like a worm. She’s still in heat? “I’m going to help you, Luv. Don't you worry,” Night said before he ripped my shirt and some of the buttons clattered to the floor. He pulled Aleena’s upper body to him, and her tied hands touched our cock. I groaned again, thinking of tho
••• Aleena’s POV •••My eyes flew open, and I woke up with a gasp. My whole body was sore and covered in sweat. Sitting up on the bed, I massaged the temples of my head. There was something about my dream.. Something that I couldn't remember. It made me feel uneasy. I tried recollecting it again, but my mind went blank, and a headache hit me instead. Taking a deep breath, I let go of all my thoughts about my dream and the uneasiness that came with it.I reached out toward my phone on my bedside table and checked the time. 6 am? A whole day had passed? I’ve been sleeping for a whole day yesterday and also the whole night?! Wow!Thinking of what had happened yesterday, I felt my cheeks heat up. Kyson and Night had.. I’m not a virgin anymore.. And they marked me! Oh, Goddess, I couldn't believe it! I have a mate! Witch Rose was wrong! A silly smile appeared on my face. Somehow I felt like a giddy schoolgirl whose crush had just told her that he was in love with her too!I kept giggling u
••• Kyson’s POV •••Finishing my shower, I looked at the clock and saw it was nearly 7 am. I quickly donned my clothes and walked toward Aleena’s room.“Do you think she’s awake?” Night asked.“She should be. If not, we’ll have to ask Witch Lily to check her up,” I told him. Aleena had been sleeping for a whole day yesterday, and she was still sleeping when we checked on her at 1 am this dawn.I opened the door to her bedroom slowly, not wanting to wake her up if she was still asleep, and I heaved out a sigh of relief when I saw her empty bed.“She should be okay,” I told Night and closed the door.“Maybe we still need to ask Witch Lily to check her. Isn't it strange for her to sleep that long?” Night asked with worried.“Or maybe we fucked her too hard yesterday,” I told him. After all, she was human-like, and maybe we tired her out.“Let's just see her first,” Night said, and I agreed silently with him.I entered the elevator and pressed the ground-floor button, intending to go to t
••• Aleena’s POV •••“It was nice for Alpha Kyson to let you shop,” Beta Christine said as she accompanied me to the town center.“Yes,” I smiled broadly as we walked into another boutique. The town center was bigger and better than I’d imagined it to be. There were many selections of shops, from bakeries down to formal clothing. There was even an art gallery and exhibition hall.“I know this is not my place to ask, but.. how are things with Alpha Kyson?” Beta Christine asked in a soft voice.Beta Christine was a lovely woman. She was very gentle, and it was easy to talk to her. She made me feel like I had an older sister.“Well.. I want him to love me, but it looks like he doesn't want to.” I said with a sad smile.“Just give him time. It wasn't easy for him to be an only Lycan, and he always harbored hatred toward Andre. It’ll be a little hard for him to accept that his mate was the enemy’s daughter,” she said gently.“But I’m not Andre’s daughter. At least I don't think so. He woul
••• Kyson’s POV •••“She really is your destined mate?” Colton asked with wide eyes.“Isn't that what you wanted?” I asked him.“Of course! But have you talked to her about this mission?” he asked and leaned back in his seat.“She knows I’m going to kill Andre, but I haven't asked her what she thinks about it. She seems fine with it, but..” I didn't really know how to tell her while ensuring that she would be okay with it.“But you are afraid she wouldn't have the heart to kill the people she’d been living with,” Colton said.“Yeah..” That was the problem.“Well, you need to discuss it with her sooner or later,” Colton pointed out, and I kept silent.“You said she changed?” Colton asked with interest.“Yeah. You will see how she changed the next time you meet her,” I told him.“Let's go now!” he said with excitement.Checking my watch, I supposed Aleena had finished her shopping. We went to my car and floored the accelerator.“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!” Colton screamed in fear.I laughed at him
••• Aleena’s POV •••“You okay Aleena?” Kyson asked as we reached my room.“Yes I’m okay, Alpha Kyson,” I assured him.He stepped back and looked at my whole body, no doubt to check if I had any injuries, which I had none.“You did good just now. We are impressed with your speed,” he praised and I beamed at him.“We still need to see your strength, but we’ll do it another day. Rest first. See you at dinner.” He pecked my lips and turned around to leave.“Wait!” I quickly went inside my room and took the shopping bags with the stuff I had bought for him.“Here. I bought some things for you.” I offered him the shopping bags.He looked startled. “You bought things for me?”I nodded a few times. “I hope you like them.”A rare gentle smile appeared on his face, and I caught my breath looking at it. He looked so different than his usual arrogant self.“Thank you.” He took the shopping bags and pecked my lips.“See you at dinner,” I said with a shy smile.“See you.” He pecked my lips again a
••• Kyson’s POV •••“Do any of you have any objections to Aleena being my mate and your Luna?” I asked the Betas and Gammas in front of me. We were currently in my study after I dropped Aleena in her room.“We don't, Alpha. But..” Liam hesitated to continue.“But?” I raised an eyebrow at him.“But it might jeopardize your mission,” he finished his sentence as he looked at me in a serious manner.I let out a heavy sigh. I knew everyone was thinking the same way as I did. If she betrayed me, I wouldn't have the heart to kill her, and in the end, she would lead to my demise.“I’ll reject her if it happens,” I told them even though the thought didn't sit well with me.“Fuck you, Kyson!” Night yelled. Always the protective wolf toward our mate..“But she’s your destined mate, Alpha,” Beta Christine reminded me softly.“You should talk to her about this,” Gamma Lisa added.I nodded in agreement and dismissed all of them.“Time to talk to our mate,” Night said.I walked toward my bedroom and
••• Colton’s POV •••“Fuck,” I panted and slummed back to the bed from the doggy-style position. After so many years together, Lucas could still fuck me into oblivion.“Good?” he smirked as he perched himself on one elbow and looked at me wickedly.His question and smirk made me blush. Damn him for always being able to make me feel shy.“Mommy, Daddy!” We heard the voices of little girls and constant knocking on the door.“Open it,” I told him as I stretched my body lazily on the bed and covered myself with a blanket.He put on his shorts and opened the door. When the door opened, two cute little girls barrage in, jumped to the bed, and bounced around.“Mommy, did Daddy bully you again?” my baby girl, Summer, asked.“No,” I shook my head, sat up, and pulled Summer into my arms.“But we heard Mommy screaming. Daddy must be bullying Momy again!” my other little princess, Winter, said with a serious expression.They heard me? Goddess, how loud was I when being fucked by my mate?My cheeks
••• Lucas’ POV •••When we reached the Night Shade Pack, I raced toward the infirmary with my pale, still-unconscious mate in my arms.“Doctor!” I yelled and saw doctors and nurses already stationed outside the infirmary with a stretcher. Aleena or Witch Lily must have mindlinked them to receive us. I quickly placed Colton’s body on the stretcher and followed the doctors and nurses as they wheeled him inside.“I’m sorry, Alpha Lucas, but you are not allowed to go in from here on,” a nurse stopped me from entering the operating room.No matter how much I wanted to be on my mate’s side right now, I still complied with their rules.“Please save him,” I begged the nurse.“We’ll do our best, Alpha Lucas,” the nurse said professionally and joined the rest of her colleagues in the operating room.I clenched my fists tightly as I watched the red lamp above the operating room blink, indicating they were operating on my mate.My wolf was as restless as me as he kept prancing around in my mind
••• Colton’s POV •••It had been a while since they went down to the dungeon. They should’ve found the rouges, shouldn't they?“Lucas, have you found them?” I asked my mate through our mindlink.“Yes,” he replied.“How are they?” I asked him nervously.“They are fine. Chained, but only with minor injuries. We’ll free them now,” I heard him say.I breathed out in relief to hear that the rogues were fine with only minor injuries.“Shit,” suddenly I heard my mate curse.My heart thumped wildly. Did something happen? “Lucas? What happened?”I waited for his answer, but there was none. “Lucas?” I asked, and still, there was no response from him, and I became alarmed.“Lucas! Lucas, what happened?” I asked frantically. Why didn't he answer me? Did they get caught?I couldn't sit still anymore and went to take my car key.“Luna, where are you going?” Beta Nick stepped in front of me.“Move,” I glared at him.“I’m sorry, Luna, but Alpha has told us not to let you go anywhere,” he said polite
••• Lucas’ POV •••“Lucas, please be careful,” my mate told me as I opened my car door to go to the Night Shade Pack.I released my hold on the car door and turned around to take my mate into my arms. “Don't worry, I will, my love.”He blushed when he heard me calling him my love. I seldom used that kind of words, but today I felt like doing so to make him feel at ease.I kissed his forehead, lips, and finally, his huge, bulging pregnant belly.“I’ll be back in no time. The Beta and Gamma couples will stay with you. If you feel uncomfortable, just let them know, alright?” I traced his cheek and jawline with my finger.I was actually nervous to leave him alone with just the Gamma couples. Even though there were still two weeks until his due date, I was afraid something would happen, and he would deliver our pups without me by his side.But no matter how nervous and reluctant I was to leave him, I had to do it. This matter was important to my mate, and I had to save those enslaved rogue
••• Colton’s POV •••Another day had passed, and there was still no news from our spies. Even though my mate didn't tell me anything, I knew he was withholding information from me.“Lucas, where did you go last night? I asked him with an accusatory tone.“What do you mean? I was sleeping next to you,” he lied smoothly, which hurt me.“I know you purposely had sex with me to make me fall asleep,” I straightaway called out his trick. “You went to the Night Shade Pack, didn't you?”“Colton, I don't know what you mean. I was asleep next to you the whole night,” he acted as though he was confused by my words.“Lucas!” I yelled at him. I couldn't take it anymore.“I’m your mate! Do you think it’s nice to be lied to by my mate?” my voice rose up a notch, and I felt hurt that he was still pretending and lying to me.“I’m your mate!” I screamed again. “You should never lie to me and include me in everything you do!” My emotions got the better of me as my body trembled, and tears started to spi
••• Lucas’ POV •••It had been three days since our spies tried to gather information on the Reckless Banes Pack. So far, they hadn't seen anything strange yet. The Alpha, Beta, Gamma, warriors, and guards didn't do anything out of line. Our spies didn't see any of them capturing any rogues or bringing back anyone suspicious.“Why isn't there any news yet?” Colton asked as he paced around our bedroom.“Calm down, Colton,” I told him helplessly. I didn't know how many times I had told him those two words since we heard what Ada had said.“But it’s strange. If what Ada told us was true, our spies must have noticed something,” he said as his brows furrowed.I nearly blurted out that Ada might have misremembered, but seeing how much he trusted Ada, I kept my mouth shut in case he lashed out at me.A pregnant mate was somewhat terrifying. I wouldn't dare to cross him, or he would throw me out of our bedroom and ask me to sleep on the couch.Suddenly I heard a ping on my phone. I reached
••• Lucas’ POV •••I felt my mate’s emotions going hay wired. He was furious as he looked at the condition of the rogue she-wolf.Even I felt angry with whoever treated this she-wolf until she looked like a stick.Everyone present knew how much he cared for rogues, but this was not the time for him to get angry. He was pregnant, for Goddess’ sake! He needed to keep his emotions under control!I kept my hold on my mate’s hand and kept mind linking him to calm down. I reminded him that he was pregnant and fluctuation of emotions could harm himself and the babies in his belly.My warning seemed to fall on deaf ears as his body trembled from his rage. I quickly changed my tactic and told him that his anger would frighten the rogue she-wolf, and those words worked in calming him down.The rogue she-wolf, Ada, seemed to have gone through terrible things. She got frightened easily. And from her words, she was fed stale food or simply starved other than being raped and abused. It wasn't a won
••• Colton’s POV •••“Lucas, Lucas. She’s awake,” I grabbed my mate’s shoulders and shook them to wake him up.I hadn't been able to sleep peacefully since the rogue she-wolf was sent to the infirmary. I had just woken up and mindlinked the guard I had placed outside her ward, and he said she was awake.My mate groaned and turned his body to the other side.“Lucas!” I smacked his shoulder with all my might.“Colton,” he groaned again. “It’s still too early to wake up.”I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and saw that it was only 5 am. He was right. It was still too early to wake up, but I couldn't wait to see the rogue she-wolf and hear what happened to her.Lucas’ hand shot up and grabbed mine, tugging it suddenly, so I fell back into bed.“Lucas!” I yelled at him.His eyes flew open, and he sat up abruptly. He looked at me with worry and started to touch my belly.“I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?” he asked apologetically.I glared at him. If I didn't roll to my side when I fe
••• Colton’s POV •••I became anxious the moment I heard there was a rouge in Solaris. And when Aleena said she was in the infirmary, my blood started to boil.I had a soft spot for rogues. After all, I spent a few years being a rogue myself, and at that time, I saved many of them and gave them a pack where they belonged so they wouldn’t be targeted by other packs and became their slaves.We went to the infirmary hurriedly, with Lucas supporting me.“Where is she?” I asked a doctor once we reached the infirmary.The doctor looked confused.“The rogue,” I said impatiently.“She’s in the emergency unit,” the doctor said.Hearing the words ‘emergency unit’, I couldn’t stand still anymore. I wanted to run to see the rogue she-wolf, but everyone stopped me because I was pregnant.“Don't run, Colton,” Lucas said as he took my hand, and we walked slower than Aleena and Kyson.“Brother, walk slowly. Don't be rash. I’ll go there and check her with Kyson first,” Aleena said, and I nodded.Lucas
