Seraphina POVI spent the week preparing for the unification ball for the Shadow Pack and the Night Walker Pack that would be held in a little less than two weeks. . By day I planned but by night I tossed and turned, being plagued with nightmares about the night of my mother’s murder and Allister’s death. Tonight was no different. The air felt charged by the moon as I walked to find my mother. A feeling of foreboding overcame my senses. Something wasn’t right. As I made my way outside I heard a scream that came from the gardens. The sounds of growls, pants, cries, and pleas filled the air making me want to cower away. But something told me I needed to help. I needed to do something.“No! Please no! I heard a familiar female voice cry. I grabbed the closest heavy item that I could find to use as a weapon. My weapon of choice, a large smooth rock. The sounds of fighting grew louder as I approached the center of the back gardens. When I approached the area that the fighting was comin
Seraphina POV TWO WEEKS LATERIt had been over two weeks since we heard anything from Lyla. In that time our men had not been able to find any leads as to where Callan’s mother and sister were. Although we were unable to continue to feel optimistic, we still were needed for tonight’s ball. I had spent the last five minutes hurling up my breakfast for the fourth day in a row. “Have you taken a test yet?” Maeve asked while tying her bathrobe. Her and I were enjoying having a spa day before the ball this evening. Currently we were in the ladies room of the spa so I could throw up my eggs and toast from this morning’s breakfast. I splashed some cold water from the sink on my face. “There’s no reason to take a test,” I retorted.Maeve gave me a look that said “don’t be stupid.” I rolled my eyes. “Fine,” I groaned. “I’ll take a stupid test.” The last thing I wanted was to take a test. I knew in my gut what it would say. After spending several hours at the spa Maeve had gone to the co
Seraphina POVCallan and I stood in front of both our packs in awe of how big our pack looked united as one. Accompanying us on stage was one of Callan’s advisors. An elderly man, named Clark. Instead of his usual pilisophical garb, he was instead in a dark navy suit with his wirey hair combed to the side. “Good evening everyone,” Callan addressed everyone. “We are blessed by the Moon Goddess to have such wonderful packmembers. We know that the past couple of months have been filled with disturbing events. Our goal tonight it to unite two of the most powerful packs in the region and become one.” Some murmurs echoed in the crowd. “We know that there is some bad blood between the two packs for obvious reasons.” I chimed in before pausing. “However, in order to get away from the past, we need to pave the way to our future.”“In order to perform the unification ceremony, we will draw a vote. Majority will win. We are in a unique situation because the alphas of our packs are indeed fated
Callan POVI felt my legs lose their balance as Drake mentioned the condition of my sister. What was meant to be a beautiful night was now soiled by the death of my sister. Seraphina held me up as I regained my composure. Without thinking Sera and I followed Drake to the wooded area that led to Night Walker side of the territory. ‘Shift with me, we will get there quicker,’ I said through the mindlink to Drake and Sera. Drake didn’t waste anytime and shifted into his tri-colored wolf, leaving shredded fabric in his wake. I shortly followed and when I didn’t hear anymore fabric tearing, I looked back to see Sera standing at the treeline. ‘I’ll meet you there, we need to make sure that our guests don’t think anything is wrong. I’ll have Maeve help me end the night.’ I nodded in my wolf form and ran passed my Beta and away from my mate. ‘Sir, Ambulance is here for her. She’s alive.’ Rodney said over the mindlink as I was halfway to the hospital. The paramedics were wheeling in my si
Sera POVCallan looked at me as if I had three heads. I knew this wasn’t the right time to say anything to him. However, he left me no choice. After a few moments I began to squirm under his shocked stare. After a few agonizing moments, Callan finally snapped out of his shock and cupped my face. I placed my hands over his and looked down. Unable to to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry I only just found out this morn—” Callan cut me off by pressing a passionate kiss to my lips. The lips that I had grown so infatuated with. His tongue tangled with mine, dancing a dance that only they knew how to do with one another. When he released me from the kiss, he looked at me with adoration. A broad smile spread on his face as he looked down at my stomach and back up to meet my eyes. “You’re pregnant,” he stated.I nodded with an infectious smile. “Yes.”He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed before peppering me with kisses. I giggled as he continued to kiss everywhere on my face. It was one of t
UNKNOWN POVI rushed up the hidden dirt driveway to the meeting spot that I knew all too well. I had been coming here for months giving insider information to the dark-eyed man. I owed it to my family who had lost their lives and jobs due to Alpha Callan. I owed it to myself to wipe his bitch of a Luna off the face of the Earth as well. She couldn’t have him. He was mine. Mine to trick, mine to manipulate, and mine to do whatever else I pleased with him. Seraphina was getting in the way of those plans. Before she had moved to the pack house Alpha Callan had spoken of taking a chosen mate. If it weren’t for finding his fated mate in Seraphina, I and the rest of the eligible girls in the pack would have gotten the opportunity to become Luna. Look how she treated her own pack. Giving it to another Alpha without so much as a blink of an eye. It was pathetic. My thoughts were interrupted when the dark eyed man started walking towards me. A light rain began to fall, coating my lashes. “W
LYLA POVReaper came storming into the living room of our cabin with lethal energy rolling off of him. I looked up from my book and raised an eyebrow. He was drenched from the rain that was now pouring buckets outside. “What is it?” I let out in an annoyed tone. “Oh, don’t you dare use that tone with me Lyla,” Reaper scolded. I rolled my eyes. “Or what?” In inhumane speed, Reaper threw out his hand and wrapped it around my throat before picking my up off the chair by my throat. “Use that fucking tone with me again Lyla and I swear to the fucking Moon Goddess herself that I will bring you to the play room and punish you until you can’t walk straight,” He growled in my face. My mind went back to the first time I was in the play room making shivers run down my spine. I had spent more time in that room when he wasn’t using and abusing Mia. For the longest of times, our time in the play room had been the only means of negotiating I had. When Reaper had found out that Allister was my
Callan POVStephanie spent four hours in surgery before they were able to stop the bleeding and make her stable. By the time she was out of the OR, I could have sworn that the soles of my shoes had dented the floor boards that I had been pacing on. She was currently still in stable condition and doctor desmond was optimistic that she would pull through. After being at the hospital for seventeen hours and being up for almost 40 hours, Seraphina pretty much begged me to go home. The entire time we were at the hospital, Sera’s words echoed in my mind. “I’m pregnant,” and ”I need to know what happened to my mother.” I knew the latter statement was coming. As her words kept replaying in my mind, I knew that with knowing the truth there would be more questions. Questions that I couldn’t answer. But I knew that my mate deserved to know what I did know. It was the least I could do. I hadn’t had a chance for the information of my mate’s pregancy to sink in until now as we arrived at the p
Suddenly my heart began to race not just from the crowd cheering, but from the pull I felt towards her. I didn’t realize I had taken a step toward her until I was only a few feet away. She was in a simple yellow sungress with her blond hair in a loose fitting knot. She was the epitome of perfection. The beauty before me had the greenest eyes I had ever seen and seemed to captivate me in a way that was indescribable. She visibly gulped as stood in front of her before she slightly bowed. “Congratulations, Alpha. It’s an honor to meet you.” she stammered. ‘Mate,’ my wolf Narif yelled in my head. I gave her a warm smile. I loved how her pale cheeks reddened as she spoke. “Thank you, it’s nice to meet you. I didn’t catch your name,” I said, my voice low as I tried to hide the breathlessness I felt at being so close to her.“Sophie,” she replied softly, her eyes sparkling with an unspoken understanding. “But everyone calls me Soph.”“Soph,” I repeated, savoring the sound as it rolled o
LIAM POV I slammed into the red head, who was on all fours before me. I had forgotten her name already. I had met her earlier in the day at my best friend Trevor’s house while we were all lounging around the pool. She was cute and had no problem with coming home with me in the middle of the day, before the alpha ceremony. Today my chosen father would pass the pack to me, making me the new Alpha. I had too many feelings about it, leading to what I did best. Pushing my feelings aside and got lost into something else or someone else. I heard a light knock before I heard my mother’s curse.Damnit mom! “Mom, get out!” I yelled while continuing to pump into the red head. She attempted to stop but I let out a threatening growl, letting her know that I was no where finished with her. I heard my mom bump her head on the door frame, making me roll my eyes. She reminded me of Jess from New Girl, with how clumsy she was. ‘Mom just walked in on me having a girl over.’ I sent a mind link to my
Seraphina POV Callan and I had decided to make the house near the waterfall our getaway home when we needed it. We arrived at our home for the next couple of days. It was a modernized one floor flat that looked over a gorgeous waterfall. “Tell me again why we can’t use this place as the pack house?” I asked the umteenth time to Callan as I looked at the waterfall through the floor to ceiling length windows. Everytime I came to this place it made me feel like I was in another world with its modern and exotic architecture. I looked at the floor to ceiling length windows and watched as the water cascaded down the smooth rocks. Everytime we came here I always asked Callan the same question. He put our bags down and walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Because we need to be closer to everyone, you know this.” He nipped at my mark, making me giggle. My mind went back to the first time I had come to this place. When a scream had left my lips as I made contact with
Seraphina POV Maeve rounded the corner and whacked Callan on the back of the head. “Hush, let the girl bring what she wants,” she scolded. It was so nice seeing her back to her almost normal self again. My brows knitted together when I noticed the visible sweat on her brow. “You okay Maeve?” She waved a hand in front of her face. “Yeah, jeeze, who turned up the heat in here,” I looked at the thermostat that hung on the wall and read sistythree degrees. I would hardly call that hot. I sniffed the air and noticed that her scent seemed stronger today as well. Callan’s nostrils flared before I saw drake running down the staircase and swooping his bride up. She cackled as he booked it up the stairs. “Sorry guys! Baby making time!” Drake called from the top of the stairs. I looked at Callan with a smile. “Guess we know what they will be doing while we are gone.” Callan chuckled before wrapping an arm around my shoulders. “Let’s get out of here before we have to put ear plugs in.”Mae
I watched the boys with a deadpan expression as they tried to figure out how to take off a dirty diaper and put a new one on. “Don’t worry mum, we got it.” Liam had told me. “Just sit back and relax.”How they expected me to do so when they looked like they were attempting some sort of science experiment on my daughter was beyond me. I went to push up from the rocking chair where I was seated when Callan spoke. “We got this babe, don’t stress.” I took in a breath. ‘They can do this, they can do this.’ I said to myself. ‘You sure about that?’ Alya my wolf chided back. It wasn’t until I heard the sound of a splat and a gasp from Liam did I finally decide I was done watching this shit show. Literally. There was shit filled diaper on top of Callan’s foot. Liam looked at Callan in horror and then disgust. A smile spread on our girl’s face at my boy incompetence to change a diaper. I stood up and marched over to a stunned looking Callan and Liam. Liam moved out of the way. “You k
You keep looking at my dick like that, we won’t be able to take a relaxing bath together,” he teased. I stuck out my tongue at him like a child, earning me a laugh from Callan. He climbed in behind me, the water sloshing over the edge at the movement. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed a kiss on my shoulder. I sank into his embrace, loving the rare intimate moment we were now sharing. It felt like so much had happened in such a short amount of time, that we had missed out on opportunities such as this. We sat in silence, simply enjoying the moment with one another. However I couldn’t help but think about Liam’s situation and about his family. For the first time since I had lost the baby, my heart and head were on the same page. I snuggled up to Callan and rested my head on his shoulder. Tingles ignited where we touched, further soothing my racing thoughts. “What’s on your mind, Princess?” Callan asked as he pressed a kiss on the top of my head. “What will happen to Liam?”
Seraphina POV 6 Years Later….“Ugh harder!” I heard a female voice cry out. Whoever she was, she was getting the pounding of her life by the sounds coming from down the hall. A blush crept over my cheeks and chest as I thought about what must be happening in the room. As I continued to walk down the hallway to find Liam for the Alpha Ceremony. I quickened my pace in an attempt to give the couple more privacy. However, as I got closer to Liam’s room, I noticed the woman’s voice get louder.As I approached my door, a thumping sound accompanied by the soft moans of a female was emanating from his bedroom! Dejavu slammed into me as I remembered the day that I caught Allister in my room with Lyla. My hand shook as I grabbed the vintage gold knob. I knocked on the door while opening the door and instantly regretted it. Slowly I opened the door and gasped at the sight before me. It took a few moments for me to register what was going on. Before me was Liam pounding into a beautiful red h
Seraphina POV5 Months later….I walked next to Maeve in the department store as we looked over the racks of baby clothes. After finally receiving permission from Doctor Desmond that some walking could help induce labor. Our babygirl was finally cooked. It was time for us to meet her. Only now that it was time, she was taking her sweet time and enjoying the comfort and protection that my body provided. I couldn’t blame her after everything that we had gone through together. Our girl was a trooper through it all. I felt a tinge of pain in my lower back and some pressure in my lower abdomen. The pain stopping me in my tracks for a moment. Maeve looked at me with concern. “You alright babe?”I held on top of the rack and continued to take deep breaths. “Ugh, yeah. Just Braxton Hicks,” I grumbled. After a moment we continued to look through the racks of clothes. Maeve and Drake were having a baby boy, and I couldn’t help but be envious of how much Maeve was glowing. I looked like a g
Mia POVI circled the chair that bound the man who haunted all of my dreams and almost every waking moment. The only time I didn’t think about what this man had put me through, was when I was with my son, my grandson, and daught-in-law. They seemed to drown out the voices and images in my head that wanted me to relive the horrible days during my captivity. “Please Mia, I love you.” Kevin pleaded with me. Tears, snot, and blood all congeled together on his handsome face. His blood red eyes were now constantly out as his wolf tried to heal the wounds that I kept inflicting. We were on day three of me torturing him and using toys on him that he had used on me. I refused to be the victim any longer. My daughter attempted to punish him, but didn’t have the stomach for it. I just prayed that she too would find some peace knowing that this pieace of shit would no longer be around to hurt us. She had come back down today for some reason. Maybe for closure? I couldn’t be certain. “You don’t
