Adira’s POV “There you are sleeping beauty.” I heard a man’s voice say as I slowly opened my eyes to see Alpha Xavier sitting on the bed next to me. “What happened?” I asked as I moved to sit up and my head once again began to hurt. “Here, let me help you.” He said as he reached for a pillow to put behind me. “You bumped your head while you were sparring. The pack doctor said it is nothing major thankfully.” I reached for my head at that moment to feel for a bandage or a bump but there was nothing. “I don’t remember anything.” I tell him as I begin to feel a bit confused on how I had hit my head. “I’m sure it will come back to you later. Right now, we just need to make sure that you heal.” Alpha Xavier said to me as he ran his hand up and down my arm like he was trying to soothe me. “Did I make a fool of myself?” I now asked him, hoping that I didn’t, in front of the whole pack. “No Dear, you were amazing and I think you should continue to train. I have never seen a she
Liam’s POV It was about damn time that Alpha Zane woke from whatever spell they had put on him at Blood Moon. Now my sister’s life was now on the lines and we had to find the witch at Blood Moon that had poisoned her. When I mentioned Adira to him something came alive within him at that moment and I knew that their friendship had to mean a lot to him. “She’s not here at Crimson. Alpha Xavier must have kept her there with him.” Alpha Zane says and I let out a growl thinking about Adira being there at Blood Moon with him. I should have known he kept her there especially with the way he looked at her after he seen what her wolf was capable of. He didn’t want her per say, he wanted her wolf to rule alongside him. Alpha Xavier was ruthless and this showed how ruthless he truly was. Adira was a mated wolf in the eyes of the Moon Goddess and if he tried to break that bond between us, Goddess knew what would happen. “What is the last thing you remember at Blood Moon?” Alpha Zane asks
Adira’s POV Shutting the door to the bathroom and locking it, I moved to the shower and turned on the water as cold as I could get it, as I stepped under it to try to calm my flesh that now felt like it was on fire. I knew there was only one thing that could be causing this and that was I was in heat, but I wasn’t ready yet to give myself to Alpha Xavier. I had to cool my body temperature down before the scent of my heat woke him. I had seen what a she wolf in heat could do to the male wolves of a pack, and I couldn’t imagine what it would do to an Alpha and what lengths he would go to get to his mate. Pressing my forehead to the cool tile of the shower, I found my hands roaming south as the heat within me began to build and I needed to find some sort of release from the burning desire between my legs. Closing my eyes, images of the Alpha from my dreams began to play in my head, of the two of us sexually together. My fingers began to move against the slickness of my interfolds a
Liam’s POV It took all night to come up with a plan and I got very little sleep as we made camp on the outside boarder of Blood Moon territory. My warriors were ready to fight to bring back their Luna and I was ready to take down Alpha Xavier for taking her from me. Alpha Zane was on his own mission and that was to find the witch that had poisoned my sister, his true mate. That morning when we made our way into Blood Moon territory, something came over me and I felt the need to get to Adira. It was as if the mate bond between the two of us was telling me that she was in need of me. Pushing my warriors to move faster we made it to the lands that surround the packhouse in minimal time and with the sounds of the warning howl echoing through the air, I knew that we had been spotted and that the battle between Blood Moon and Nightshade was a go. Leaving out my own howl to my men, I began to charge towards the Blood Moon packhouse as I let my wolf take control, knowing he was out for
Adira’s POV “Liam!” My wolf continues to scream in my head to me as Beta Micheal tries to pull me from where I stand frozen to the ground. Another howl now fills the air around us and it is of another Alpha but not the one that I heard before, but sounds all too familiar too. “Shit! Luna, we need to get you out of here.” Beta Micheal now says to me, as his eyes move to the front door like he is waiting for someone to enter. His hand now wraps around my arm, and he begins to try and pull me towards the back of the house, but my wolf leaves out a growl in protest as I pull my arm free from his grasp. Something didn’t feel right at this moment and my wolf was trying to tell me something and I felt the need to listen to her. Closing my eyes, I gave myself over to her, knowing that whatever was going on here right now, she knew the truth to it. As I let myself go, memories of my past came flooding back to me, good mixed with the bad, but they were all my memories that were somehow ta
Liam’s POV For a brief moment I thought that Alpha Xavier had erased me from Adira’s memory and that she was going to attack me. There was no way that I was going to fight her, I couldn’t live knowing that I had laid a hand on her. So instead I braced for the impact and for whatever followed, all while I told her that I loved her, through a link I was sure was severed. But to my surprise the impact never came, and the words “I love you” came to me through our link. Opening my eyes Adira had Alpha Xavier by the neck, thrusting her head back and forth and I joined her in the kill. As Alpha Xavier went still, Adira continued and I had to stop her before she got lost to her wolf again. Adira’s wolf slowly let go after I told her to and she took a step back, shifting into her human form before she closed her eyes, I’m sure after seeing the carnage. Quickly, I shifted back myself, to my human form and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into me. Instantly her body heated within my
Adira’s POV The feeling of actually being wanted and cared for was not something I was used to. All my life I had been put aside as my sister was the chosen one by my parents, but right now in the arms of my mate, I knew I was wanted. His love for me radiated through our bond and my heart felt whole for the first time in my life. My body felt sated and my heat temporarily subsided as Alpha Liam now laid us on the bed together and pulled me into his arms. His lips moved to my forehead and he placed a gentle kiss on it, before he said, “I honestly thought out in the clearing you were going to attack me. I thought that Alpha Xavier had you under his spell too, like Alpha Zane.” Instantly, I tilted my head up to look into his eyes, wondering what happened to him the last couple of days while I was here at Blood Moon. “I was under his influence, but my wolf kept fighting to release us and she kept repeating your name to me.” Shifting my weight to my one side, so that I could see him
Liam’s POV Alpha Zane’s howls now fill the tunnel in front of us and I was half tempted to send Adira right back up the stairs while I took care of this matter on my own but she began to move forward before I could stop her and I knew there was no way in hell that she would agree to letting me do this on my own. Grabbing her hand, I stopped her from moving forward and pulled her behind me as I took the lead. I knew that I was going to have a strong she wolf as a mate but I never imagined having one as strong willed as Adira. Slowly, we made our way down the tunnel to a half-shut door that light beamed out from, and I could hear a woman’s voice within it talking, “You thought you could just walk into my lair and take me to another pack. I’m done doing you wolves’ bidding. If Alpha Xavier is dead, then my debt to him is considered paid.” “Please, I beg you. My mate will die if you don’t help her.” I then heard Alpha Zane say to her and I could hear the plea in his voice for my sis
