LEXI.

“Lady Lexi, let me take David. He’s already sleeping…”

“No!” I snapped at the Omega and turned my body sideways so she couldn’t touch David, who was drinking milk from me, but he had fallen asleep already.

I was in a private room in the ballroom where the union was supposed to take place. It had been over an hour, and Austin was still nowhere. My anxiety was already over the roof, and the only reason I was not snapping yet was that I was holding David in my arms.

“It’s okay, you can go. I will call on you if we need anything. Just wait in the other room.” Mom told the Omega before she approached and sat beside me.

“Lexi, sweetheart…” She spoke warmly as her hand smoothed over my back. “You can give me David. He’s asleep already.”

“I need to hold him, Mom, or I would freak out.”

“I understand, but he can feel your emotions. He keeps waking up.”

I let out a sigh and handed him to her. I wanted to hate on Austin already, but I couldn’t because everyone around here was still

I know he didn’t get cold feet. Something definitely happened. It must be bad too if he ditched his own wedding and left Lexi at the alter after promising her he would never do that again.

    ALPHA JACE. ‘This is Tony. Bartender at the Sports Pub near the academy. Gamma Austin just walked in here.’ ‘Are you sure it’s him?’ I asked as I connected both our heads to Tyler. ‘Yes. He’s wearing a black coat ensemble.’ ‘Is he with someone?’ ‘Alone, and he just ordered a beer.’ ‘Keep him there and let me know if he moves or speaks with someone.’ ‘Yes, Alpha.’ “They found him,” I told Aunt Janna before I tapped Tyler’s back. “Let’s go…” I connected my head with Amara and told her what I knew and where we were headed before requesting that she drive Lexi back home if she wanted to. I left the car with her, and we used Tyler’s car to go to Austin. We were already in the car when another mindlink reached my head. ‘Alpha?’ ‘Yes, Mike.’ He was one of our newest warriors. He just turned eighteen six months ago. “I’m sorry, Alpha. I didn’t know you were looking for Gamma Austin. I was at the southeast border when Gamma Austin was requested there. He met someone, and they lef

    AUSTIN. “What are you doing here? You have a union to attend!” Mike asked when I jumped out of the vehicle that took me to this border. One of my men would be leaving the territory using this route, so I asked him to drop me off here on his way out. “I’m just here to pick up my gift for the lady!” I chuckled as I pointed at the car parked beside the small cabin that was my office on this border. It was a family SUV that I bought and put under Lexi’s name. She gave up her car when she moved to Orleans and didn’t buy a new one, even with the money I was giving her. She was saving most of the excess for an emergency. But I knew she was keeping it in case I ever messed up again. But that would never happen. I was all in now, and I was more motivated to be a good provider for our family. I was about to go inside the office to grab the key that I left inside my locked drawer when I heard an approaching car. This was the southeast border, and it was rarely the entrance for guests or

    AUSTIN. “Tell Alpha Jacob to withdraw his candidacy for Council Head!” Alpha Gray spoke confidently as our gazes met. “No!” I scoffed, but my heart was thundering. “No one has to know. It’s just between us. If you can convince him, we will simply leave this secret to the grave. No one will know she’s an Alpha Female, and you can be together and have more pups.” “No!” “An Alpha’s oath, Austin! If he withdraws, Alexandria is all yours!” “What’s the point of letting him back down? Your father is still not coming back as the Council Head!” “Yes, but someone else from our side will.” “Are you scared and peeing on your pants now because you know Alpha Jacob will win this? And you will all fucking rot in hell!” I couldn’t stop my mouth this time. I never hated anyone in my whole life except for Scott, but this man in front of me would soon share ranks with him. “But you can save us. It’s a win-win, Austin. Or we will take Lexi away from you.” “You can’t do that!” “I’m starting a

    ALPHA JACE. “You need to fucking explain, Gamma! Or I will make sure you will never see Lexi and your kid again!” I was so close to rolling off my Alpha command, but I was glad I didn’t have to because Austin began talking and crying at the same time. Tyler asked him to stop the car so he could drive, but he didn’t want to. He said he couldn’t just sit and wait until we reached Lexi. I didn’t even know what to think or where to begin at all. I just listened as, one by one, Austin told us what happened to him since he got to the southeast border. ‘We know where Austin is.’ Dad’s voice rang in my head while Austin was still trying to explain. ‘I got him, Dad. We’re driving home.’ ‘What do you mean? Aaron and I are picking him up at the bar outside the academy.’ ‘I got him from there. Just drive home.’ I told him. ‘Is he talking?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Okay, just calm him down. I’ll see you at the packhouse. Aaron and Aeon are with me. Gavin and our mates are all there to help out with the

    AUSTIN. “You will never regret giving me a chance to explain,” I mumbled under my breath. I was holding her face so close, our foreheads resting against each other. I could feel her breath fanning on my skin, and it was taking a lot of control for me not to kiss her. I wanted to do just that. After the agony of knowing I could never claim her and the thought of her leaving me, there was nothing in this world I wanted right now but an assurance that she still wanted me. But I had no right to ask her that. Not yet. Not until I tell her everything. “Tell me, Austin…” She took a deep breath before continuing without withdrawing from my hold. “What was more important than this union that you think it was okay to let me wait for you?” “You, Lexi. You…” I said without thinking. “You’re more important than this union.” I didn’t know how to break the news to her. I was so used to dropping bad news to Jace and to my warriors as a Gamma, but I was cowering at the moment. But it was now o

    LEXI. “I’m not an Alpha or a Beta, Lexi. I’m just a Gamma.” Austin’s voice broke, and the memory of my conversation with Grandma Jessica flooded my head. I remembered her telling me that she was glad Austin would never have to go through the Claiming for me. And before I knew it, my heart was already breaking, and soft sobs escaped my throat. I could not fully understand how the Claiming worked because it was never explained to me in detail, but I understood what he said: he was not allowed to be my chosen mate. “Lexi… baby…” Austin’s voice was still broken, so it made me cry harder. “Look at me.” He cupped my cheeks as a forced smile crossed his face. “I’m not going to let you go. Just tell me you want me to claim you, and I will do everything to have you.” “It’s impossible. Isn’t it?” “Nothing is impossible with the Black Shadow Pack, Lexi. Even if it means reaching for the stars, I will do it. For you… Just say the words that you want me, and I won’t stop until you’re mine

    AUSTIN.While we were in the shower, I told Lexi what had transpired in my conversation with Alpha Gray. I was glad that she just let me talk and explain and that whenever she had a question, she would raise her hand. So it went smoothly, except for the part when I talked about Randall. She couldn’t believe she had befriended him and that he was there to spy on her. But no matter how careful I was about the wolfsbane, she still became hysterical. She was not terrified for herself, but for David. I was, too, for both of them, but I wanted to believe that the worst that could happen was for my son to have a delay in shifting like Lexi. I didn’t want to entertain any thoughts other than that because if this resulted in something more, Randall and Lexi’s family would pay for my wrath.Jace was already at the library discussing with Uncle Jacob what Gray arrogantly threatened me with. They were waiting for me to come down and tell them everything, but I had to pacify Lexi first. She wa

    LADY DAVINA. The Omega I was with was talking too fast. She was telling me what they heard happened last night. I knew part of it, but not all. All I knew was that my brother didn’t show up for his union because someone took him and threatened him, and that “someone” was Lexi’s real family. But I didn’t know about the wolfsbane, and that was what she was telling me. I could have asked Mom to fill me in, but she was busy with David. I had learned through the years to stay away when emergency situations like this happened. I knew I was already older and could be part of it, but I guess old habits die hard. And my whole family still thinks I am still a baby. “Uncle Adan!” I heard Amara shrieking from somewhere. “What are you doing here?” I bit my bottom lip because, for some reason, I felt nervous. Alpha Adan was Amara’s uncle from the North. He was half-shifter, half-demon. So he was capable of transporting his body anywhere, and since Amara and Jace mated, Jace had given him

    ALPHA JACE.We let our wolves run around the territory, rounding the whole area, border to border. Zero should have been tired, but for some reason, he was not. Black and Atlas also did not show any signs.Maybe it was the adrenaline or the fact that our wolves knew that this would be the last moment we would rule this place, as tomorrow, we would pass on to our sons the responsibility of taking care of this territory.We had a good run. Most of the shifters out tonight who saw us asked permission to join us, and I couldn’t be more proud to share this run with them. The longer we ran, the more wolves ran with us. We all shared stories along the way. Our people recounted tales of our assistance and how we touched their lives.It was a bittersweet moment, but nevertheless, it made me proud. What more could an Alpha ask for before he retired? Having his people personally thank him for his service was an honor I didn’t know I needed. But I basked in it and let it warm my whole soul. After

    GAMMA AUSTIN.I sat at the boulder on the highest point of the forest on this side of the territory, letting my eyes look at the beauty of the land that thrived under our reign.Tomorrow night, my son David will finally claim the fate that was rightfully his. He would step up as the new Gamma of the Black Shadow Pack, alongside Colton as the Alpha and Enzo as his Beta.This was a bittersweet moment. I was proud of my son, but I couldn’t help the sadness that I would be letting go of the rank I’d spent my whole life perfecting. No, I had no regrets. And no, I had no plans of prolonging my service. I was just being me — being emotional. I almost lost this rank because of one mistake. I almost lost it for David and for the generations after him, but I was glad that I was given a chance to do better. A chance I surely didn’t take for granted. I spent my whole service proving that Alpha Jace didn’t make a mistake in still putting his full trust in me even after that grave mistake. I s

    LEXI.I held on to the kitchen counter as I listened to the family mindlink. I wanted to say many things, but my words failed me. Instead, I cried, letting out all the emotions that had shattered my heart for many months, ever since David didn’t shift on time. I felt the burden lift off my chest.All these years, I thought Austin and I did well raising our pups. Each of them had a different personality that they inherited from me and him. But all of them were disciplined, and they grew up with so much love that they knew how to give it out as well. I had everything I ever wanted. I shouldn’t be complaining.But then David didn’t shift. And I wanted to question why. I wanted to be upset because he didn’t deserve it, but I couldn’t. Because I was given a good life. I was given a good family and given a good pack. I felt questioning the Goddess about his wolf might be too much. So when he told everyone he had shifted, I didn’t know where to channel my gratitude. I kept crying on my ow

    DAVID.I had been hit with a headache in the last hour, so I told Dad I was bailing out earlier than I should. After I took a shower, I said goodbye to the people in the locker room and headed out of the building. The sun was already setting, but there were still many people in the quadrangle. Dad was also there as he debriefed the warriors that would be sent off to the next Gamma Camp two days from now. Alexis was supposed to join them, but since he declined the post, only the warriors would be sent off this time. I walked away from the area without making any noise. For some reason, I didn’t feel good today. I barely get sick. Well, shifters barely get sick, so it was strange that I was having a headache. I doubted if it had something to do with the many sleepless nights recently, but then these were not the first nights I didn’t sleep at all.I was probably hungry as I missed lunch. I also exerted too much effort in training and sparring today, so it could be the reason my calv

    LEXI.It was only six in the morning, but I had been awake for the last hour. Luna Amara, Catherine, and I went out early and threaded the forest to go to the spot where the Luna would always leave mangoes to the god of the wolves, Eros. After our pups decided that they would not break the bond between them and would still want David to become the next Gamma, I had been crying nonstop, but I tried to do it in the privacy of our room. I felt responsible. My actions almost twenty years ago resulted in my son’s pain. If I hadn’t been compulsive and too trusting, maybe I would not have let Randall get too close to me then. I know there should be no reason for regret because Randall turned out to be a wonderful person, but a part of me was dying every time I looked at my son.David, despite everything that had been going on lately, still exhibited the values Austin and I had taught him and his siblings over the years. And it made me so proud of him. He didn’t deserve this fate, but I neve

According to the plan, after Enzo shifted, we should be preparing to take over the pack.But without a wolf, David would not be deemed capable as my Gamma.

But no matter where I looked or what I thought of, nothing could change reality. I was still wolf-less. I was already nineteen. For a year, I had been waiting for my wolf.Enzo shifted last night. He was the youngest, and the plan was that as soon as he shifted, Colton, he, and I would begin to prepare for our ranked ceremonies. Colton was ready to be the next Alpha, and so was Enzo as his Beta. I was ready, too. I was ready to take over the Gamma position from my father, but without a wolf, it was impossible to take over. I closed my eyes as I recalled the conversation we had with Dad, Alpha Jace, and Beta Tyler. They would stay in position a bit longer, waiting for my wolf to come out. But they had already decided tha

    LEXI.I was standing in the middle of the quadrangle, watching as Austin went around the area to check on his men and let them know he was about to leave for the day. I was craving grilled food, so we would drive to a grill place near the academy, and I was just waiting for him to finish what he needed to do first. “Lexi…” A sweet voice rang in my ears, and a smile immediately tugged at my mouth. I was sure she and Randall had received the mail that Marshall personally dropped at their home, as they lived near the training building. I turned around, holding my big stomach, and came face-to-face with the very pregnant Marcia. Ours was our honeymoon baby made in Orleans, while theirs was weeks older than ours, conceived on the night of their marking. “Hey there, beautiful,” I greeted her, and my eyes shifted to Randall, who bowed his head toward me in respect before he moved along and went to the group of warriors that were resting in the corner. “Back at you, sexy mama!” She giggle
