Adira’s POV The kisses that Alpha Liam was showering me with on my mating spot gave me the feeling of being loved for the first time in my life. Time after time this man has proven to me that he was a gift to me from the Moon Goddess. My heart never felt as full as it is now as he holds me in his arms and projects his love to me through our bond. I never would have imagined that in my pathetic life that I would be the one blessed to have a mate as amazing as Alpha Liam. I could feel the bond between the two of us thriving with every moment we spend together. I pray that our blessing and Alpha Zane and Lyra’s blessing by the Moon Goddess is the start to a new era, as long as we can deal with the elders and take their control away from them. We had a lot of work ahead of us but I know as long as the four of us stick together to fight this battle we will prevail. But first, we need to bring Lyra back to us and there was a witch here that could do that. Not wanting to move from his
Adira’s POV Alpha Liam now stepped out of the ring and I turned my full attention to Racheal who was now standing in front of me. I thought that this fight was to prove to her that I was the better warrior and to punish her for what she had done being a traitor to the pack but now I know it is so much more than just that. One thing I knew was after this was over and I survived I was going to have to do my research on the formalities of being a Luna. Either way, I told myself, I would never have backed down to this match regardless of if it was to the death or submission. The one thing that bothered me the most is that it was to be the Luna of the pack and that meant that my mate bond with Alpha Liam was at stake and I would fight to the death because of that. My wolf was now clawing at my insides and I knew she was ready to go to battle for our mate. Looking across the ring at Racheal, I watched as she removed her shirt only leaving her sports bra, and I decided to do the same giv
Liam’s POV Adira was bleeding too much from the small wound that she had taken by Racheal. Something wasn’t right about the wound as I watched her double over from the pain and I quickly picked her up in my arms and yelled at the pack doctor to leave Racheal where she lay and to follow me. Racing into the packhouse I moved towards the infirmary knowing something was definitely wrong as the blood now completely soaked through my shirt she had on and was now coating my skin as I carried her. Adira’s eyes looked up at me and I could see her fading away in my arms from the loss of blood. “Stay with me love.” I said to her as I entered the infirmary and laid her down on a bed. Stella and Alpha Zane were right on my heels with the doctor in tow and Stella moved quickly to Adira’s side. I could tell she was assessing her as she lifts up the shirt to look at the wound that was clearly not healing and looked to be blackening around the edges. The pack doctor now moved to Adira’s other si
Adira’s POV I must have passed out from the pain because when I opened my eyes, I was in the infirmary and Stella was looking down at me. “There you are. That was a close one.” Stella said to me with a smile now on her face and I had to wonder what the heck had happened. The wound that Racheal had given me didn’t seem so bad but all I remember was the amount of blood I was losing from it. “What happened?” I asked Stella as she remained standing over me. “That traitor Racheal poisoned you with wolfbane. My guess is she had it in that god awful black fingernail polish she was wearing.” Stella told me and anger filled me that she cheated during our match. I couldn’t believe that I was worried about her blood being on my hands when she planned to kill me this whole time. I was now beginning to realize that it was becoming a kill or be killed reoccurring situation for me. Trying to pull myself up to a sitting position, I could feel the pain now in my abdomen but fought through it s
Liam’s POV I didn’t trust Ali a bit but my sister’s life was on the line. Thankfully, Stella was here to watch over Ali as she made the elixir for Lyra. It took a lot of convincing, but I got Adira to lay down and rest her wound, but thankfully Ali and Stella were both on my side for that one. Alpha Zane and I both stood by the door as we watched the two halflings make the elixir for Lyra. “Do you really think that Ali was fooled by her father for the elixir that poisoned Lyra?” Alpha Zane asked me in just above a whisper. “Adira seems to think that she is telling the truth, I on the other hand am not so sure.” I tell him as I continue to watch Ali’s every move. “Adira has a big heart and that is her only downfall. After everything she had been through back at Crimson, she is still able to see the good in people.” Alpha Zane tells me and I look over at him away from Ali and ask him, “Why did you let the abuse from the others go on? Why didn’t you stop it?” Alpha Zane lowered
Adira’s POV When I awoke from my nap, I felt rested and the pain in my abdomen had subsided. Instantly, I thought about Lyra, and I quickly got out of the bed, and headed towards her room, but stopped when I heard a growl come from downstairs. Quickly, I moved to the staircase and began to take the steps as fast as I could when I heard Alpha Liam’s voice. As soon as I got to the last step, I could see an argument happening in the living room area as Alpha Liam was trying to break up a fight, happening between two of his warriors. In the corner of the room, I could see a frightened she wolf, and I moved to see if she was alright. “Are you okay?” I asked her when I got to her. “Yes, Luna, but I don’t know what is happening to me.” She now says and I look at her confused and ask, “What are you talking about?” Her tears begin to fall down her cheeks and I could see her hands were shaking when she says to me, “I have these feelings and thoughts for Jacob.” At first, I had no cl
Adira’s POV Lyra had finally woke up that night but we only got word that she was awake and healthy. I knew what was going on behind her bedroom door and I didn’t blame the two of them wanting to seal their mate bond. Alpha Liam called a meeting with the pack so that we could explain to them that the Moon Goddess’s blessings of the mate bond had returned. A majority of the pack was happy to hear this but there was a small group that I could tell wasn’t thrilled about this, but it was mostly because they were dating someone that obviously wasn’t their true mate. I knew that this was going to be hard on some of them but I just hope that they eventually come around. Blaze and Ali also must have retreated to his room to seal their mate bond too, because neither of them joined us for dinner that night. The table felt empty and Alpha Liam and I sat there having dinner together. Thankfully, Stella entered the dining room and joined us at our table. I hadn’t gotten the chance to speak w
Liam’s POV I knew that Adira was in pain because I could see it in her eyes and feel it through the mate bond. This wasn’t like the pain before that she was experiencing and I knew that stopping it and then bringing it back on must have thrown her heat into a frenzy. Slowly, Adira’s body temperature started to descend but I knew only bringing her temperature down was part of what needed to be done to take away the pain from within her. As I held her in my arms in the tub, the cold water didn’t take long to warm up from the heat Adira was throwing off from her body. ` Adira had been giving out soft moans and I knew they were moans of pain, but as her temperature finally dropped to where she was no longer burning up, her moans began to change and I let my hand begin to move across her flesh, replacing her pain with pleasure. Adira’s moan now turned to ones of pleasure and I let my fingers move under the water and to her pussy, which was still on fire, and I knew there was only one wa
