Erin’s POV

“Lyla did it. She wanted to eliminate anyone who may lay a claim to the position of Alpha of the Red Stone Pack because she wanted it for herself.”

I closed my eyes, hearing Boris’s steady and calm voice confirming what I knew all along - Lyla’s greed for power has tainted her heart to a point where it has become unredeemable. Her feeling of entitlement has fed her ego until it becomes uncontrollable.

Boris recounted to the council Lyla’s past actions and her plans to eliminate everyone who blocked her way, including Boris himself.

“She took me down and made me pack less because she longer trusted me. We had a falling out. She did want me to stand in the way of her plans. As Alpha Leo's Beta and her mate, I have as much chance as anyone of rising to the position of Alpha when Alpha Leo retires or dies.”

Everyone gasped when they heard it, but no one could fault Boris. He was so sure of himself. I never saw him blink or falter in his words.

At first, the council eyed

    Erin’s POVCirala’s cries broke us apart.I looked at Alaric’s flushed face and blushed profusely. I did not intend for the kiss to become so hot, but I missed my mate, especially after what happened.I thought I had lost him forever.Never again. I promised myself that I would never let my mate down. I will fight for us, our family, and our pack.“We have to go,” Alaric said, breaking into my thoughts.Startled, I could only nod at him, and the others flocked around us. Then my gaze narrowly hit Boris. He was standing in the corner, looking in like an outsider. I wanted to thank him personally. I owed him so much.Just when I was about to step toward him, Alaric pulled me back, and I was stunned to see his deep gaze. My mate is jealous.My plan to approach and thank Boris could wait another time. Right now, my priority is Alar

    Erin’s POV“The fusion of nature’s elements.” Someone breathed from the background, distracting me from my awed trance.There was so much wonder in that voice, but the words were full of certainty. It tells that the speaker knows what she is talking about.I whipped my head around in surprise to find my mother close by. The nurse Dr. Martin sent to be her regular caregiver accompanied her.“Luna Bella,” I whispered, putting my hands away, and the cacophony of bright colors disappeared at once.I heard Cirala cry as if in protest when his source of entertainment vanished. But my son's displeasure paled in comparison to the concern that gripped me upon seeing the sadness that flitted across Luna Bella's eyes.“What’s wrong?” I asked gently when I reached her.Luna Bella bent her head.Her eyes fixated on the clasped hands on her lap.

    Erin’s POV“What do you mean?” I blanched at her words. I was only coming to grips with the fact that I am more than I think I am, and now my mother is telling me that I am the protector of our kind.It was information overload. My mother looked sad when I pierced her with a seriously confused gaze.For a while, she did not speak. I thought she would leave me hanging, but I realized she was trying to contain herself. I saw her hands shake, and her lips quiver. It must have taken her great effort to open up to me like this.I saw the struggle in her face. She was trying to hold it in.“If you can not talk about it, let‘s postpone this some other time. You are still frail. Do not stress yourself.” I told her gently, proposing to shelve our talk to a later time.“No!” She countered vehemently.Her tone startled me.

    Erin’s POVWe left for the council around noon.They were anxiously waiting for us, which surprised us a bit. I was taken aback by their enthusiastic greeting upon our arrival.“Luna Erin, Alpha Alaric.” Alpha Douglas rose from his seat to welcome us, something he would not be caught doing in the past.He and the other Alphas used to look down on my mate due to Alaric’s rogue beginnings. If Alaric does not own half of the land under the Crescent Moon State, nobody from the council will give him the time of day.How the tides have turned, I thought to myself, as I observed the change in Alpha Douglas’s attitude. The other Alphas followed his lead and greeted us courteously, as well. Alaric and I looked at each other, frowning.“What’s wrong?” The question left my lips upon seeing Alpha Douglas’s pale face. This was not just about their change in

    Erin’s POVAmidst the excitement of the people around us, Alaric snaked an arm on my waist. I sank into his body, pressing my weight on him, suddenly feeling exhausted. I felt Alaric turn his head toward me in concern, but I could barely lift my head to confirm. I sagged against him and passed out. That is my last recollection of what happened. When I came to, I was already in our bed. I sat up when I heard giggling sounds. It teased my ears like they wanted me to open my eyes, and I did, amazed to see Alaric sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at me. He had Cirala in his arms. Our little boy reaches his hand out to touch my lips. I playfully took his little finger between my lips and trapped them. His playful fingers caught suddenly, and Cirala squealed in delight. His childish laughter fills my heart with so much joy. “My son…” I muttered in my head, glad to be seeing him once again. Cirala was my energy pill. He filled up my tank so fast that I felt rejuvena

    Erin's POVOn my way to the door, something pricks my arms. In reflex, I wrapped my fingers around the culprit and found that it was a needle. I held it up for inspection. The remaining fluid gushed out of its hole to trickle down its slim metallic body. Then my eyes switched from the needle to the man who sank it into my flesh, growing wide in disbelief.I never would have thought he would resort to this.Immediately I felt my body growing faint. My knees started buckling, and my body keeled over.Alaric’s arms caught me just as I was about to drop on the floor and brought me to lie on our bed.“What did you do?” I asked before I passed out.When I came through, I found Emma sitting on the sofa at the foot of the bed.Instantly, I remembered what happened, and my mouth tightened. Alaric injected me with Wolfsbane. I was not aware that Dr. M

    Erin's POVThe mere thought of his name pissed me off. Gavyn... I hissed his name like he was some errant fly that had escaped my swatter time and again. He had been a pest that had grown out of bounds and had become uncontrollable in time. How dare he set his sight on my turf? I gnashed my teeth. My hands clenched into fists as my thoughts ran wild about how to crush Gavyn with my bare hands. He and Lyla had taunted the people and the land under Crescent Moon State enough. It is high time someone dealt them with their just retribution. I looked at the chaos around me. My heart is twisting in raging pain. I worry about how Ben and the others fared under his tyrannical control. Gavyn is a Warlock whose temperament resembles that of a savage or worse!“This madness had to stop now. Otherwise the peace our forefathers fought hard for will be for naught.” I declared, glancing to the side to face Alaric and surprised to see him watching me intently, distracting me from my though

    Erin’s POVRED STONE PACK. I did not think I would step foot in this place again. It felt surreal to be standing in its soil once more, looking at familiar places and things reminding me of the past. We came to the heart of the territory and walked past a small patch of ground with an old tree. I used to play under this tree when I was a child, and when I became old enough to understand things, this tree served as my hiding place from the rest of the world. Its sturdy trunk became my confidant. Looking around me, I saw other familiar places - the training ground -where my father forbade me to step foot on because it broke our mother’s heart seeing Lyla getting weak every day while I grew stronger in contrast. Then up ahead, I saw the silhouette of our packhouse, where I used to serve as a maid in my own household. It reminded me of the dark basement where I spend my nights alone and inside a cage for animals. My eyes misted in remembrance, and my heart ached like it was close

    Erin’s POV How do you recover from the death of a loved one? One who had been an integral part of you and who had greatly influenced what you had become? How do you cope with the loss, at the gaping hole they left in your heart? They say that for werewolves, losing a mate means eventual death. I never fully understood it until now. I scattered the ashes in the air and saw specks mingled with the wind. They danced together, intertwined like some old lovers until that far beyond. While I watched them go, I murmured in the air, hoping it would reach the ears of my loved one. “Luna, it is time to go.” I turned around and met Boris’ shadowed face. We nodded at each other before my gaze locked with my mate. We do not need any words between us. One look from him is all it takes to calm the storm within me. “I love you.” He mouthed. His words were enough to puncture the dam in my eyes and it burst. In quick strides, Alaric reached my side. He wrapped my trembling body in his arms as

    Alaric’s POVThrough the help of Fabian Gray, we unbound the spell cast on Lyla. A cloud of smoke appeared, and out came Lyla, who at first looked disoriented upon seeing herself surrounded by too many people. We were inside the courtroom. Alpha Douglas, as head of the council, was presiding over Lyla's trial. There was a general look of amazement, and everyone seemed to hold their breath when Fabian Gray started reversing his spell. Fabian's movements were precise and meticulous. It was no wonder he was the best of his kind and the undisputed Warlock chief. My gaze scanned the whole room until it landed at the back of the courtroom where Luna Bella and Erin were seated. Luna Bella insisted on witnessing the trial. Erin came in support of her mother. I guess it would be hard to tear Luna Bella at bay. Lyla is her daughter, too. After Fabian broke and retracted the spell, Lyla appeared before us in her human form. She looked around, surprised to see the Alphas surrounding her.

    Alaric’s POVI shouldn’t have walked away from her. I shouldn't have let my emotions get out of hand. It was just that the mere mention of my mother reminded me so much about Alpha Leo’s crimes against my family. Compounded by her sister’s crimes and her mother’s demands, I could not hold back my temper and snapped at her. I looked back in remorse to where I last saw her, but Erin was already gone. She has probably gone inside the house. Taking my frustrations out on her is uncalled for. Alpha Leo and Lyla's actions are their own. Erin has nothing to do with it. Having the same family name does not make one responsible for the other member's mistakes.Shedding off my human form, I started galloping into the forest. I let the speed and the wind clear my head as I put distance between me and my mate. I stopped at the lake Erin, and I frequented panting. For a while, I looked at my reflection in the water. Dark, guilty eyes stared back at me. I snarled my frustratation. I loo

    The following morning saw us atop the highest mountain lining the border of Red Stone and Black Water territory. Luna Bella chose this spot specifically. “I want to have a vantage view of our territory.” She explained when she requested that we bring her to this place. We arrived here before dawn. Now, the skies that were previously covered in darkness slowly lighten up as the first light appears. The sun is breaking. I watched Luna Bella contemplating in silence. Her shoulders hunched like she carried the weight of the world on them. “Even in death, your father cheated me.” I knew what she meant. Alpha Leo died ahead of her, thus, leaving her behind. Sometimes, I wonder, who hurts more: the one who left or the one left behind?Alaric and I stood a little distance from my mother to give a quiet moment with her thoughts. But she let her nurse, Dana, and personal slave Beth flank her small frame as she looked beyond the mountain range. The wind slapped against our faces as

    The next few days are hectic. Mother and I went back to the Red Stone Pack to meet with Gamma Alexander to discuss pack affairs and to keep tabs on what has happened since Lyla and Gavyn took the reign of the Alphaship. Upon Gavyn’s death, the remaining pack officials elected Gamma Alexander to handle its affairs temporarily.With my mother sick, Lyla missing, and me in the hospital, the position of Alpha was left vacant.“Here are the books detailing the income and the expenses these past months.” Gamma Alexander showed us an updated version of Red Stone's cash position. In addition, he gave us a rundown of everything that has happened since Alpha Leo's death. Mother had no concern over that. She was impatient to know one thing, and so did I. “Where are Alpha Leo’s ashes? I did not give him my proper respects.” Mother’s voice almost broke in the end. She was trying to hold back her tears, and I knew she had never mourned his death yet. Or maybe, that is our way of coping. Gri

    “Erin Acklen…” The sound of someone calling my name woke me up.Still cloaked in a sleepy daze, I pried open my eyes only to shut them close immediately when bright lights glared at me. “It hurts,” I complained to the voice, ignoring whoever it was calling me and letting sleep take over, only to be roused, yet again, by that same mysterious voice to wake up. Again, I ignored it, but it persisted. It kept badgering me until I was too irritated by the constant harping. Super annoyed with whoever has the gall to disturb my sleep, I opened my eyes and angrily bolted out of bed. Even with my disorganized thoughts, I was surprised to find out I was not inside our room back in Black Water Pack but somewhere else.Chin jutted forward, I scanned the area around me before my head tilted down. It was then that I realized I was in the middle of what looked like a forest, and the bed from which I rose earlier was a bed of moss-green grass. It felt ticklish under my bare feet. “Where am I?

    It took Alaric not more than fifteen minutes to process my discharge slip and pay my hospital bills. Then, Alaric returned to tell me we were ready to go. I was excited to leave. In the past weeks, I was not allowed to leave the confines of this hospital, nor was I allowed to walk outside. Alaric posted bodyguards everywhere I turned, annoying me no end. It was a refreshing change to see the bodyguards’ unmissed presence. “Let’s go?” He asked, eyes drifting to the bag beside me on the sofa. In his absence, I collected all my stuff lying around to deposit them inside a travel bag I saw on the bottom of the cabinet.I stood and took the bag, but he knocked my hand off. “Just lead the way, ma’am.” He said playfully, making me laugh so hard. We were silent inside the elevator. We did not speak, but the silence was not a strained one.“Stay here,” Alaric instructed, placing the bag beside me on the floor after submitting to a security check and exiting the lobby. I did not argu

    “Luna.” Ben struggled to get up from his hospital bed. I saw the pride and respect reflected in his eyes when he saw me. How do I know it was him? I don’t know. I just do. When I started to take in Alaric’s word and accepted the idea that I am his Luna, things began to clear in my head. My memory still eluded me, but maybe it was the acceptance that made me see things in perspective. My head turned to the side to see the other bed’s occupant. He was still asleep, but from what I gathered earlier, it was safe to presume he was Blake, the pack’s gamma. Both Ben and Blake were muscular like their Alpha, and I am quite sure they could hold their own on the battlefield, as good as Alaric. I still don’t remember anything about them, but there was a sense of rightness in seeing them. “Ben.” I drew close to his bed and reached for his hand. Ben’s eyes twinkled when our hands clasped, but later, it was fixed somewhere behind me. I do not have to make a wild guess to know he was

    Erin’s POVIt was the sweetest kiss!My eyes snapped open when I realized what I was thinking. It was like crashing back down to earth after a spine-tingling explosive kiss.“W-what did you do that for?” I stammered when Alpha Alaric released my lips, only to venture south and nuzzle my neck. He darted out his tongue, sending glorious tingles of sensation that spread out all over my body. What is happening to me? Desire shoots up to every corner of my being. Wide-eyed, I stared at him. “This can not be!” I pushed him hard, but he would not budge. He pressed his body against mine, effectively trapping me to the wall. And his stare. Gosh! Why does it make me weak? “Do you understand what I was trying to tell you?” His muffled voice carried its weight to my ears, causing me to shiver involuntarily at the promise in them. I hate it! I hate how my body melted so naturally in his arms. “Stop!” I cried before I pressed both palms to his chest and shoved him off of me. I app
