••• Aleena’s POV •••The moment I set foot on the Black Heart Pack ground, my nervousness threatened to consume me whole.Is this the right thing to do? I have never been trained to be an Alpha or a Luna before. Will I really be able to be an excellent Alpha?My confidence from before was slowly extinguished as we walked nearer to the meeting ground. Doubts filled my mind with each step I took when suddenly I felt a strong arm circling my shoulder and pulling me close to the most important person in my life at the moment.“Don't be nervous,” Kyson said. “You can do this.”I looked at him and smiled sweetly to express my gratitude. “I’m thankful you are my mate.”“I’ll support you no matter what you wanna do,” he continued.I didn't know if this complete mate bond was good or not. We would be able to feel every emotion the other was feeling, which could be embarrassing, but at this point in time, I was grateful for it.Before I could say anything else, I realized we had reached the meet
••• Kyson’s POV •••“As you have pledged your loyalty to my pack and me, you’ll be under the protection of Kyson and me. We might not merge with the Crimson Blood Pact, but you will have the same Alpha and Luna. And it’s our responsibility to be responsible for you,” Aleena said to her new pack members.She was so confident in delivering her speech, just as an Alpha should.They all fell to their knees as a sign of respect and said, “Alpha Aleena, Alpha Kyson.”“Luna,” she told them, and everyone looked confused. I was about to tell her that since she was their Alpha now, she should start to familiarize herself by being called ‘Alpha’, but suddenly Aleena’a voice sounded again.“Luna Kyson,” she said. “You will address him as Luna Kyson when we discuss anything about the Silver Shadow Pack, but you will still address him as Alpha Kyson if it’s related to the Crimson Blood Pack,” she added.My jaw dropped as the crowd fell into silence. To hell with her being confident!!!“Ppfftttt,” su
••• Aleena’s POV •••It was a busy morning and afternoon for us. Tonight we were going to board the plane to go to Solaris, and thus, Kyson and I had to take care of the pack’s matters before we left.Kyson was busy dealing with paperwork with Liam, as always, while I was busy packing for him and myself.I had felt uncomfortable since yesterday, but I didn't know the cause until I saw Gamma Hector and Gamma Lisa during breakfast. I went to the study and asked Kyson, “Kyson, where is Gia? Did she move to another pack?” I hadn't seen her since the last time Andre and Rose had captured me.“She’s been punished,” Kyson replied without looking at me.“Punished?” Was she banished? “Did she go to Colton’s pack?” Once someone was banished, they became a rogue, and naturally, Colton would take them in.“No.” Kyson stopped looking at the paperwork before him and looked at me. His gaze was unreadable. “She’s been sentenced to death.”I froze hearing his words. I knew Gia’s fault was unforgivabl
••• Aleena’s POV •••We all watched as Colton opened the door. The moment it was opened, we could see a set of staircases. This must be a secret passageway.. But did no one really notice it? Even the driver seemed to know the existence of this so-called secret passageway. He was the one who drove us here, for Goddess’ sake!Before I could voice out my thought, Colton had descended the staircases, followed by Lucas and Witch Lily. I had no choice but to follow them too, and Kyson followed me.Colton used the light from his phone to light up the way. The tunnel was narrow, and it was only big enough to accommodate one person at a time.He moved swiftly forward, even when the path branched out. He seemed overly familiar with this passageway, not even pausing or hesitating in choosing the right path.We walked behind him for Goddess knew how long until we reached another wooden door. He pushed it open, and a creaking sound was heard. This door hadn't been opened in a long time, that was f
••• Kyson’s POV •••Son, huh?! Who would have thought that this playful Adonis Alpha of the Rogue is actually the son of the Alpha King? He has no air of authority or charisma of a leader whatsoever, except maybe to his pack members. Even then, he was not the domineering type. His pack members respect him, but they do not fear him. They treat him like a friend.To be precise, he is kinda like a spoilt child. Now I know the reason behind his characteristics and behaviors. He must had been spoilt to death as the only heir of the Alpha King. But what about Aleena? How did Alpha Zane know her? Or to be exact, why would he want to use her to kill me? I was mulling over my thoughts but suddenly Alpha Zane spoke.“Colton, you brought your mate and friends here. I should be more graceful in welcoming them,” he said before turning around to look at us.The moment I saw him, I knew where Colton has that baby-blue eyes of his from. Alpha Zane has the exact same eyes as Colton and he actually di
••• Aleena’s POV •••“But alas, Andre’s underlings caught news of it, and they hunted us down. I was near death, but fortunately, the Moon Goddess saved me and brought me back to Solaris,” my dad explained. If the Moon Goddess saved him, maybe..“But what about Mom?” I asked him. “Is she still alive too?” I hoped the Moon Goddess had saved her too and that she was somewhere in this mansion and would appear anytime soon.Dad was about to answer my question but was interrupted by the knocking on the door. Without waiting for his command to come in, the door was already opened, and I saw a beautiful lady whom I recognized instantly. I was shocked that she would appear in the human realm.Dad and I stood up to greet her.“I see all the main characters are her,” the Moon Goddess’ enchanting voice sounded.“Moon Goddess, you are here,” Dad greeted her with respect.“Moon Goddess,” I greeted her too.She looked at Dad and me and nodded in acknowledgment.“Now that you are all here, I want t
••• Aleena’s POV •••“This is all quite difficult to swallow, isn't it? Andre and Rose had changed everything, yet in the end, everything still went according to my plan,” she suddenly let out a soft laugh.It is indeed difficult to swallow. There is just too much information to think about.“Now, let’s talk about you and Kyson, Aleena. Let’s talk about both of your destinies, which are greater than anything else. Both of you are fated to save the werewolves and the world,” she said.My heart skipped a beat. Kyson and I.. We are supposed to save the world?! That’s a very heavy responsibility!“But before that, I have to tell you about the two of you,” she said. “You are indeed fated to be mates. If Andre and Rose didn't plan to use Aleena to kill Kyson, your story would be wonderful.”I felt my heart bloom with joy and love hearing the Moon Goddess’ words that I couldn't help turning to my right where Kyson was sitting, threw my arms around his shoulders, and buried my face in the croo
••• Kyson’s POV •••I couldn't take my eyes off the Moon Goddess as she twirled and disappeared in front of everyone.“Hey, keep your eyes to yourself!” Night suddenly yelled in my mind.I rolled my eyes at him. “Why can't I watch the Moon Goddess?”“We have a mate! I’ll poke your eyes out if she gets jealous!” he retorted angrily.What the heck? Is there something wrong with his brain?! The Moon Goddess is our Mother, for fuck sake!“I can hear your thought. I’m not crazy! You are the crazy one! The Moon Goddess is still a woman, and you couldn't take your eyes off her! I should ask the Moon Goddess to separate me from you, then I’ll poke your eyes out,” he snorted smugly.“You are going to go to the Moon Goddess so you can poke my eyes out? I wonder how Aleena will feel about your idea - asking another woman just so you can poke her mate’s eyes out. Would she feel jealous because you go to another woman? Would she feel angry because then I won't be able to see her? Maybe she’ll be h
••• 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
