Last night passed by quickly, and I wasn't ready for the day to start again. In fact, I loved spending time with my friends so much that I was always willing to stay up late if it meant being together.The night ended when Paul decided to leave. Damon had to take his mate, Katalina, home since she still lived with her parents, and Lilith was sleepy because of the pregnancy. After we got back home and put the kids to bed, Jaden and I still had a few rounds of sex before we fell asleep exhausted.It was definitely the best way to start the year. We had been together for four years and it was like a lucky ritual. We had been leading a quiet and peaceful life in the past few years, and that's what we liked.Our beginning was a bit turbulent, too tumultuous. Now, we cherished every moment of peace, not knowing when something difficult could happen again.To be realistic, we were always on alert, waiting for something very difficult to happen. After everything we went through, it was strange
"Well, maybe it's also a little bit my fault. It's been a long time since I talked to her, I was so absorbed in my own problems and pack issues that I may have forgotten to pay attention to her. I just asked if she wanted to run, and when she refused, I said it was okay.""Try talking to her a bit. I'll give you some privacy and go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a few minutes. Actually, I think I'll take a shower. Are you sure you don't want to join me?" He gave me a half smile."No, Jaden, I'm not going to the bathroom with you." I laughed. "Actually, I think I will talk to Fawn after all." I sighed."Do that, talk to her and try to get something out of that little wolf. If nothing works, call me and Mark and we'll come to save you."after he leaves and leaves me alone with my own thoughts, I finally gather the courage and call her."Fawn?" I called, hesitant."Hi, Malia, it's you,""Yes, it's me. What's with you?" I asked."It's nothing. Why would there be a problem with me?" She a
That's why sometimes we left all the work aside to take care of our babies and spend time with them. After all, family is all we have.I loved so much being with him, with our children, living a life as if we were normal people, of course, with our wolves always close by.Mark loved watching the children; whenever we went out, he was there, watching everything all the time. He seemed very proud of the family we had already built, but I don't remember him admitting to that.I chuckled at my own thought. Mark is so proud! So different from Jaden, I mean, I didn't expect Jaden and his wolf to be so different. People always said how Jaden could be more sensible, but even being sensible at the right times, he could still be tough in the toughest moments.Very different from Jaden, who was such a good man, so affectionate, always willing to say he loved us, that he was in love and very grateful for the family he had built. Of course, he was the heart of the two, while Mark was the brain."Go
The truth is that Lilith was more than right when she said we needed a bit of beach time, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, the smell of the sea breeze, the salt and sand getting between my toes, the cool breeze hitting my face, the scorching sun touching my head, all of it seemed perfect at that moment.It's been so long since I've been here to enjoy it, and the truth is that maybe I've never really come here to truly enjoy it. Usually, we bring the kids to play, or we leave that task to the babysitters. We never really stopped to sit and observe the wonder of the Moon goddess.But one thing was clear: truly being by the sea, in the grandeur of the Earth, was wonderful. I mean, how could the beach be so perfect?I take a bite of mango from my fruit salad that I asked Ômega to prepare for us to bring.Besides us, the beach was empty and, to be honest, at first I didn't understand why it was so empty - at least, not until Jaden reminded me that it was the castle's priva
I wished so much they were safe, that they were protected, that I didn't stop to think that we still have many enemies and they can cause harm for no reason, to be honest.I don't know how far human wickedness can go, I don't know what people are capable of doing. How many cases of children have been torn from their parents' arms in packs out of pure greed or vengeance? I remember vividly the case of the twins, where one of them was taken from their mother's lap. It was an immense pain for her, and in the end, she never found the second child. She doesn't know if he is alive, dead, well-fed, happy, or has a loving family that took him in, even being a kidnapped baby. I don't want this to happen to me. I don't want my children to be left alone, I don't want them to be taken from me. I want them to be safe, and perhaps the only way to ensure that is for us to finally become alpha and Luna supreme. Maybe this is the little push we need. Even though our pack is safe and we have trustwort
I was dying of worry and simply couldn't stop pacing back and forth in desperation.No one had prohibited anyone from entering or leaving the pack. The pack castle doors had been closed, all the staff were located in the entrance hall, and we already knew many of the employees, we wanted to know if anyone was missing.The children, at least the ones remaining, were placed in their room, locked with security at the entrance door and some scattered throughout the house. We could be sure that no more children would disappear.Now, Fawn was very close, watching everything all the time, suspicious. She had spoken very little to me, was very attentive to every movement of each person.The pure love of our own pups was natural. They were born from us and the love for Dandara had been built. She came into our arms as a baby and we created such a beautiful bond over the years. She was with me at all times, it was as if I was her inspiration. She always tried to imitate me, used the same colors,
My head can't understand what's happening. I just wish it was easier, that she hadn't been kidnapped and that our day at the beach was the best possible."Where do we start?" I ask Jaden."I don't know, we have to find our little girl," I sigh."I know, we do have to," I feel my eyes fill with tears."Oh, my love," he hugs me. "We'll find her, we'll bring her back home," Jaden comforts me.I take a deep breath, trying to stay calm amid the chaos that has taken over our lives. We need to act fast, we need to find Dandara before it's too late."Call the warriors, spread the word to the newspapers and packs, let's spread the news and search for her in every possible place," I declare determinedly.Jaden agrees and together we begin to outline a plan of action. We can't waste time, we can't allow ourselves to give up. Dandara is part of us, she is our girl and we will do everything to have her back safely.I want everyone to know it was him, I want his picture plastered on every newspaper
THIRD PERSON POV | FOUR YEARS AGOPaul felt his heart ache, as if it were being ripped apart from the inside out, when he met a woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. He felt complete, fulfilled, as if his life had finally gained some purpose. However, that was not the truth. It did not take long for Catherine to show her true colors. He never imagined she would be as ambitious as she turned out to be.At first, it seemed like she took this passion seriously, like she took the relationship and the love they could build together as a gift from the goddess herself. He couldn't exactly remember when, but he knew at some point a switch flipped in his head and she was no longer the woman she used to be. He was broken, destroyed, and mistreated by the woman he fell in love with. But after all, wasn't that love? His wolf never thought of the possibility of rejecting his own mate. In fact, he considered it a crime for any wolf to do so, believing that the goddess had a pur
