ZephyrI stayed up all night, unease clawing at my chest as the clocked ticked my body drenched in cold sweat, I walked back and forth every now and then. I had to protect my mate, had to get to my brothers. Since she vanished into the flower I sensed something was off with my brothers, the connection with them had intensified then dulled and I was worried. As the tension continued to increase,a rumbling ache usurped the depth of my tummy. My heart continued beating, spreading malaise though my veins, I didn't know whether I wanted to sit down or remain standing! In this unyielding fit of distress, I tried to imagine how he would be faring on they would be faring on their own, but my muddled mind could only conjure up gruesome images, mortifying me the more.After a couple more minutes of frantic waiting, I walked to the stone hill in the forest.

Reign Power left me but I didn't feel as weak as usual.Kudos to Seth, everyone knew I was pregnant, everyone sat beside me on the bed with Alexia and Nailah being the most dramatic."You need to lie down so Dr. Alberto can check you next, we don't want to ruin things for our little Alpha," Alexia teased."Or little Reign," I shot back."I think I'll take sides with Alexia this once. I really want you to have a boy" Nailah stabbed me straight in the heart taking sides with Alexia in my very before."Really Nailah," I feigned a heart break holding my chest and everyone was laughing including Hermione.She was awake and recuperating."The entire pack sure does want an Alpha, you can't exactly blame Nailah you know." Zephyr said proudly and the atmosphere was light.Everyone was happy, the bad energies had been dispelled but Axle's soul remained corrupt.Something no one could explain.The elders had told them that after the ritual of the joining gates and the soul offering, everything
Reign"Definitely we are not alone, there's a little man in there as well," Zephyr joked but I knew what I was sensing was different."What is it?" Seth asked studying me for a while."It's, it's gone. I just felt it for a moment but now it's gone" I waved it off as quickly as it had come and we walked back talking and laughing yet I kept looking back anticipating someone.I often related with Axle and Dante but I was the only one who could curb Axle, we had met the elders and they insisted that one of the rituals had been incomplete for such an anomaly to occur.The day we were going to announce I was having a baby came and my delivery date was just a few days away. In the meantime I worked with Hermoine as Beta and she was surprisingly not as dumb as I had envisaged.Nirson also worked hard and became more productive assisting Hermoine with most of the responsibilities.Everything was going smoothly save for Axle and Dante's growing conditions.

ReignI knew something was wrong, I knew danger was close and if I didn't come out, I felt as though the person was going to bring down the entire building with fire to get to me because of the strict security so I decided to meet whoever myself.I had not intended to drag Zephyr along but he had insisted on coming out with me now I feared the danger he may be exposed to at Chester's hands."Chester let go of me!" I tried to protest and rescue myself from his grip but his hands were firm.He and Zephyr bore holes in each other shooting deadly glares.'come quickly, Chester is he---' I didn't finish my sentence when a blow hit me hard forcing me to move back several meters and land on my butt.This was why Axle and Dante had not recovered. The ritual was not over because no soul Sacrifice was offered."You will have no one's child but mine." Chester roared and I struggled to get on my feet."Reign!"

"You will lose even more than you know it, the longer you stay here, the more time evades you. You mating pair is stronger than nations and will attract the wrath of more. Follow the voice within you for you are the light in the path you seek a bulb."This time their meaning was clear and I wasn't going to go down so easily without a fight.Then all of a sudden something else took over me and I stood up. I looked Chester straight in the eyes and said the words that came to my head."Oh goddess accept the soul I bring to you, my heart is sore and my spirit weak but this rogue has defiled your laws. Die!!!" I shouted and like an expired glass he exploded and shattered into several pieces.I felt weak as I rushed to Zephyr who was still bleeding out profusely.We already had company as everyone had found their way to my room at the sound."He can't die, let me save him." I pleaded with my mates who won't listen to me."Reign you've done enough, don't risk the future of the pack for my sa
ReignIn all the stories told in Silver Crescent, the name Zephyr never went extinct.He had survived, he had lived through the pain and troubles and he had lived on the the tablets of our hearts."Zephyr! Stop running around," I scolded my little son.It had been three beautiful years and he really did substitute for my lost mate."Good thing you still have four mates to share your attention. How would you have managed with five?" Dante asked leaning on the door post.The bright sunlight illuminated his features."Hi," I said admiring him."When I look at him, he does grow up answering his name." Dante said and his voice caught Zephyr's attention."Dada!" He called out to Dante and ran towards him."Big boy!" Dante easily lifted Zephyr off the ground. "How's your day going?" He ruffled his hair."No! Hair! No!" Zephyr struggled in his grip and I laughed at the interaction between the two."Stop taunting my son," Axle joined us on Zephyr's room.I had initially thought naming him Zeph
"Mother, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have let her go all by herself." I could hear my husband, blaming himself for what he knew nothing about. "No Chester, you're not!" Luna Avrilla, his mother said, trying to comfort him as he pace back and forth in the hallway, his footsteps echoing with the weight of fear. The hallway seemed to stretch endlessly, filled with an air of uncertainty. Luna Avrilla, and Chester's siblings stood by, their faces etched with the same fear that seemed to consume us all. All we waited for was the doctor - to come with a piece of good news. Indrane, Chester's fated mate, had been involved in a fatal accident. She was fighting for her life, but the doctors are struggling to save both her and her unborn child, because it was Chester's order. Yea, you read that right. Indrane is my husband's mate, not me. When Indrane ran away on their wedding day, I was forced to step in as a substitute bride because of my Lycan blood, which is not
I entered the ward room, my heart pounding in my chest. Indrane lay there, lifeless, her once vibrant spirit extinguished. A pang of sorrow gripped my soul as I looked over my shoulder to find Alpha Chester, his arms crossed over his chest, a stoic expression etched upon his face. It was as if his presence alone weighed down the room. I approached Alpha Chester, my voice trembling. "I don't know what's going to happen to me after this, but I hope I can save the baby and her mother," I whispered, my voice barely audible. I desperately sought reassurance from the man who held my fate in his hands. Alpha Chester nodded solemnly and spoke with a gravelly voice. "Move on, Reign. Be quick," he ordered, his words cutting through the air like a sharpened blade. His tone held an authority that made time stand still. He showed no sign of pity. Taking a deep breath, I walked towards the bed where Indrane lay. Tears welled up in my eyes, flowing down my cheeks in a torrent of raw emotion. L

ReignJust as we got dressed to continue our search, I felt something call out to me. I looked around and Zephyr noticed my discomfort and commented."You seem to be looking for something,""Didn't we come out here to look for something in the first place?" I asked in a very cocky manner and he laughed realizing how stupid his question was."Right," he said and followed behind me as I followed the call on my soul and essence. I was so much more at ease so I could very easily pick the scent and follow my instincts to what I sought after. "There it is," I said when we got to the top of the hill we climbed.It was a yellow flower, beautiful, elegant and unique. The last time I had found it, it was purple but this color seemed to fit it very perfectly. The shape was different as well but I knew that was it."Really? That is what stressed us all along?" Zephyr saidIt looked like an ordinary flower so it had to call your attention before you could find it. Sometimes it was an actual plant
ReignWe had explored most of the forest but I was still yet to grasp a sight of the flower. I knew how the plant looked because I often used it back in Chester's pack to save the soldiers and wounded ones.There was a limit to the amount of energy I could push into a person to restore them without losing my own life so I had sought out other means to save more people."We've been going about forever, what exactly are you looking for?" Zephyr asked me, he was definitely not the type to go flower picking with a lady or treasure hunting so the unending search already greatly wearied him."Relax, it's a life plant so it doesn't have a definite form, shape or color" I said to him."You have got to be kidding me," he covered his face with both his hands and threw his head back. I watched his Adam's apple bob up and down like a simple pendulum as he spoke in that position unaware of the things he was doing to me."So how are we supposed to find it?" He asked before taking his hands off his
ReignIt was all a very dramatic and chaotic scene and what hurt me the most was that what I suspected and anticipated the most yet denied, turned out to be my very reality.I had trusted the enemy the most all along, I had taken all my secrets and findings to him Everytime.I had always let him in on my plans time and time again. Uncle Astor was the only one I had said goodbye to when I ran away. He had tried to convince me and claimed he was going to come get me back to the pack before I shut my link then.Little wonder Chester was already waiting for me out there. I regretted a lot of things, especially not listening to Dante every time he warned me against Uncle Astor."Come with me," Zephyr grabbed me wrist on the heated hospital ward and we headed for the door while Uncle Astor displayed.I shook my head, not refusing but I was weak, I could feel the energy sap right out of me. I did not even have the strength to speak.Before I could give a response, Zephyr scooped me off the f
