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
Adira’s POV Alpha Liam was adamant that the two of us ride alone in his SUV back to Crimson and I was beginning to understand why as my heat began to hit once again and I tried to cross my legs to reduce the heat building within my core. His scent of elderberry and pine began to fill all my senses as I closed my eyes trying to stop myself from wanting to mount him while he drove. “Adira.” Alpha Liam said, making me open my eyes to look at him. The pupils of his eyes were taken over, darkening his blues, as desire filled them for me. Biting my lower lip trying to keep a moan from slipping out, the vehicle veered off the road and into an opening within the woods. Within seconds, Alpha Liam turned the car off and unbuckled his seat belt as he turned and pulled me to him. Our lips met in a frenzy and his hands began to roam my body, like he was searching for a treasure as my skin heated instantly from his touch. As he pulled his lips from mine, he says, “Your scent is driving me m
Adira’s POV My parents’ house finally came into view and my heart began to race in anticipation of being inside it for the first time since I took off that morning not so long ago. Alpha Liam brought the vehicle to a stop a little down the road from it giving all his men room to park. The thought of facing them all after Alpha Liam and I’s quicky in the car, brought back the heat within my cheeks as I began to blush thinking about it. We waited in the car thankfully for a few minutes until Alpha Zane and his men pulled into the driveway. Taking that as our cue, we both opened our doors and stepped out of the vehicle and began to make our way towards the house as Nightshade’s warriors began to surround the outer perimeter of the house. If my father was inside there was no way that he would be able to get through the Nightshade warriors to escape. Alpha Liam and I moved behind Alpha Zane’s SUV as we waited for someone to answer the door for Alpha Zane and the two men that he now h
Adira’s POV It was only a short drive before I spotted my father’s car parked in front of elder James’ home. My stomach began to turn into knots knowing that in a few minutes I would be face to face with him. I know that the mission was to get the witch that poisoned Lyra but after the witch was found, I had plans on confronting my father for all the wrong he had done to me and make him pay for it. Alpha Liam brought the vehicle to a stop and I stared out the window at elder James’ house. “You can stay in the car if you want to and let Alpha Zane and I take care of this.” Alpha Liam said to me and I knew he was offering me this out because he knew how hard it was for me to face my father who had betrayed not only the pack but myself. I also knew that Alpha Liam had his own reasonings for wanting me to stay in the car too. Turning to look at him I gave him a half smile before I said, “No, I have to face him. If I stay in the car, I will never get closure to what he has done to me
