Alpha Gorgio's POV still I watch as the Xanna steps out of the Jet. With her shoulders straight and confident, she looks around as if she expects her subjects to be at her feet. I grin in amusement, this is the signature of a member of the Alpha King's pack. She is dressed in jeans and a shirt, her black hair cut as you would expect from a witch. Long, sleek and cut in a point on her forehead. And when she comes down the stairs, she does so with high style, as if she had just arrived in Hollywood. Well, I like her, despite her sassy nature, she exudes positivity. So she is a white witch, evil is not her nature. This woman must be highly respected in the Alpha King's house. Her attitude and her arrival in the private jet attest to that. Behind me, I hear Alvin whistling softly in admiration. "Man, I'd like to be locked up in one of the upstairs rooms with her for a whole frigging day. There's so much I could do with those lovely hips and I'm sure those full lips would make me very
Clarita's POVI look in the mirror in surprise.I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the bump. According to my calculations, I should be five weeks pregnant now, but I look three months. Just a little while and I will no longer be able to hide my pregnancy and have to wear maternity clothes. How did the baby grow so fast? Is it because Zane is a werewolf and my baby will be a werewolf like his father? I look down at my bulging belly and wish Ariel was here to explain this to me. I miss her so much, Gorgio must be in a hurry to bring her back now.For two whole days I searched Human Town for Zane. In vain.No one at the yacht club could remember his boat, with so many expensive ones docking at the pier every day. All the owners are loaded, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But I don't want to give up. What will I tell my child when he asks for his father? I don't want him to be like me, alone in the world, without a family. Although Ariel and Giorgio insis
Still Clarita's POVA nerve tugs at Serene's face, she's deadly nervous.I wonder what has brought her to this state, did I say something wrong? The seconds tick by and she still hasn't answered my question. She stares ahead, frozen like a zombie. "Serene, do you know Zane? Why are you so nervous, did I say something wrong?" I ask urgently. I started to get nervous too. Is there something wrong with Zane, is he hurt or a serial killer I should have avoided? I don't want to seriously consider any of those options. Zane was the perfect gentleman when I was with him on the boat. He could have taken advantage of me when I was lying dead drunk next to him, and again the next morning when I had a terrible hangover from my excessive drinking. But I was the one who initiated the sex, I was already in love with him.What followed was beyond my wildest expectations. If I thought Matt had taught me everything I needed to know about sex, I was wrong. Zane was amazing
Luna Ariel's POVAfter blinking several times, I am finally able to open my eyes fully.I look ahead, all I see is a blank white wall and in the background I hear the faint beeping of machines. Gradually the memories began to come back to me. My flight from Midnight Moon while Gorgio, my mate, waited for me at the border. The kidnapping of Zane just as I was about to shift, the choke around my neck and the needle in my arm. Three days later, I regained consciousness in a bunker, where I met Fiona, who helped me escape, but to the wrong side of pack land. We were supposed to go to the western border but ended up on the highway to Human Town. And then the crash. A speeding car cut us off.Fiona! I try to sit up, but a splitting headache sends me back into the pillows. I hold my head and breathe deeply until the pain is bearable. Then I slide out of bed, grab the drip stand and roll it out of the room. In the corridor, I see nurses walking up and down, all human.
Luna Ariel's POV again When I open my eyes again, Fiona is sitting on a chair next to my bed. She had her eyes closed, probably sat there for a while and finally fell asleep. "Fiona, how are you? Has your wolf cured you completely?" I whisper to her. She slowly lifts her head and rubs her sleepy eyes with a smile. "Yes, completely healed. Now we have to figure out how to patch you up. We need a werewolf doctor. The humans might cause a stir if they examine the baby. These werewolf pups are bigger, and with your royal genes, the doctors will think you're an alien". We laugh at her remark. "Are my injuries serious? I have a terrible headache, but it is subsiding. And my shoulders seem to be dislocated," I answer. Looking at my hand, I noticed that the IV drip was already removed. A nurse must have examined me while I was asleep. "A severe concussion. And some minor injuries that your wolf may have helped you with. But they're worried about the cub. And so is the Kin
Still Luna Ariel's POV "A woman?" My mouth falls open in shock. I can't believe Zane would agree to an arrangement when he already has a girlfriend waiting for him somewhere. At least it doesn't sound like he was suffering from breaking up with me, even if it was Alexis who was in his pack in my place. If he was already holding another woman, it meant he had resigned himself to the fact that we were no longer mates. Gorgio told me that he and Alexis had rejected each other before she left Midnight Moon. Is Zane deliberately making life impossible for Gorgio and me? Or is he getting back at Gorgio for refusing to share me with him? He also knows how much we care for each other. So his complaints to the Council made no sense if he was able to move on with his life and court other girls. A wave of unprecedented anger sweeps over me. "Tell me everything, Erena. I can't believe Zane let me join his pack after he'd already moved on. He is robbing Gorgio and
Alpha Gorgio's POVI've had enough of this!Alpha Zane needs to be shown his place. Putting a choker around my mate's throat is more than I can take. With this act he has officially declared war on me, nothing can save the man. I will burn his whole pathetic pack to the ground and nail his head to the highest pole.When I'm done with Midnight Moon, every other pack will think ten times before messing with me. I'm Alpha Gorgio, nobody can treat my mate like that with impunity. And when I look at the faces of my Beta and Head Warrior, I see belligerence and hatred. "We await your orders, Alpha. I am ready. Just give the signal". Alvin's earlier flirtatious attitude is gone, his face is now all business. He had disagreed with the agreement with the Council before, and now that he seems to be right that it was a bad deal, he is ready to correct it. "The pack is ready for anything as long as Luna comes back, Alpha. They are ready to give their lives for her
In Blue Blood, the seat of the Alpha King... He failed to turn up for my birthday and missed my first shift.My white wolf with blue shadings is a beauty in her own right, and the pack could not hide their admiration when they saw her. After Ariel's white and gold wolf, mine is also unique. My father was so proud of me, his eyes shining with satisfaction. He had expected me to have a special wolf, and for the pack to go crazy at the sight of the beast in their Alpha Princess. So he organized a big party, with a huge buffet and everything. Congratulations came from all over, even from wolves outside our pack. Some unmated Alphas had come too. Obviously to try their luck and see if I would be their mate. A mate in my father's family is a privilege and brings great honor to the Alpha and his pack. I smiled secretly, knowing their journey was in vain. As tempting as it is to be an Alpha's mate, being cherished by a Beta is what
Alpha Female Adlin Rain's POV Yay!Seeing my twin brother so happy was the greatest experience of my life. David Gorgio returned to Eclipse Howl a week ago and proudly presented Esmée Clarita as his mate and Luna to the pack. The mark on their necks was clearly visible, it's official. It was a grand celebration, the pack went wild at the sight of the happy, tanned couple who were clearly very much in love.And with that, the criticism of Princess Michaela's rejection was silenced. After my brother's departure on the night of our anniversary, many voiced their displeasure. The fact that the future Alpha had rejected a Lycan in favor of a half-human was unthinkable. For many, it was a missed opportunity to provide the next Alpha line with a strong bloodline; an Alpha King mix with Lycan traits would be formidable. Humans are supposed to be weak, so Esmée Clarita was opposed out of hand.But after seeing the couple together, the naysayers disappeared.To see
Still Future Alpha David Gorgio's POV At high speed, I fly over the smooth water towards the yacht that keeps sailing.Goddess, let me find her right there, I need her so much in my life. I can't imagine her not bothering me with questions while I'm at work, not feeling the need to show me everything new she's bought. No, the princess could not fill my life. What possessed Selene to saddle me with an elitist mate? It's not my style at all, I don't like that kind of display. Rather an annoyance, never stylish. As I get closer to the yacht, I slow down.I am surprised that she has not heard the watercraft approaching and has come to take a look. Suddenly I am gripped by fear. No, it is not possible that she has hurt herself. That's not my girl. If she could endure years of rejection, she could endure anything. I reach the boat floating, jump onto the low platform and tie up the scooter.Then I climb the short
Future Alpha David Gorgio's POV My head spins, my vision blurred as the impact of Adlin Rain's words hits me. Esmée Clarita is gone, gone, out of my reach. She will no longer swarm around me seeking my attention. I was so used to seeing her, it was natural for me to keep running into her and getting annoyed with her. And then complain to my mother to send her away for good, but of course, she would never do that. And now she's gone, really gone, and I don't know if she's ever coming back. This is hard, the sting of pain in my heart at this realization is unbearable. Never again her husky voice and vanilla scent, her hand on my arm when I refuse to offer her the attention she craves. "What do you mean she's gone? Why would she leave? She was waiting for Albert Zane and me to come down," I ask firmly. Threateningly, I walk towards my little sister, I am in no mood for nonsense right now. "Hey brothe
Still Alpha Female Adlin Rain's POV Albert Zane and David Gorgio finally come down the stairs. Albert Zane's eyes are fixed on me and I smile back at him. All eyes are on us now, everyone knows his desire to be my mate. When he takes the last step, he walks towards me, his eyes softening. He pulls me in his arms, buries his face in my neck and breathes in my scent. Nothing. Nothing happens. The intoxicating scent that should be driving me mad, the sparks that should be ravaging my body and the attraction that should be urging me to mark him instantly, are missing.Reality rears its ugly head: we are not fated mates. I feel Albert Zane stiffen as the signs fail him too. But his arms around me do not slacken; on the contrary, he tightens them like a vice. "No! It can't be! You are mine!" he cries in pain.He sniffed my neck and shoulders again, but nothing changed. The result remains
Alpha Female Adlin Rain's POVWhen I arrive at the high, wide staircase of the packhouse, my parents are already there waiting for me. My mother, Luna Ariel, sports a big smile on her face, while my father is watching me warily with slitted eyes. He is clearly uncomfortable, today may be the day he has to let his firstborn daughter go. No father takes this occasion lightly. I am the apple of his eye, and along with my twin brother, he has protected me from harm and discomfort all my life. Albert Zane too, of course, whenever he got the chance to be near me. So, I grew up very sheltered but today all that could change. The three men will have to let me go, or I might end up being Albert Zane's mate. Albert Zane.He is my best male friend, always concerned about what I am doing, my great advisor in the business I have set up with Esmée Clarita. He is madly in love with me, and if I had agreed, we would have been mated by now. But I don't se
Girlish giggles emanate from the room of Adlin Rain, daughter of Alpha Gorgio and Luna Ariel of Eclipse Howl. As Adlin Rain is the eldest of the daughters of the Alphas of Midnight Moon and Eclipse Howl, it was decided that she and Esmée Clarita's eighteenth birthday party would be held in Eclipse Howl. Esmée Clarita had a small celebration in her pack after she left for Eclipse Howl. Tonight will also be their first shift and possible mating. Naturally, unmated Alphas have come from far and wide, each dreaming of having one of the daughters of these prominent packs as a mate. The girls are immensely popular in the werewolf community, and their exploits have received much media attention in recent years. Everyone loves them, and their mischief in the clubs is dismissed as youthful impetuosity. Their clothes and make-up are imitated by many she-wolves and they have even designed their own perfume and clothing line. Their busi
Luna Ariel's POV again I am lying next to my mate in a hammock on the back terrace, enjoying the peace.The pups are with the nannies, this is the time we set aside for each other, without them around. We really need it. All day long we are each busy with our own things and in the evening, we fall into bed next to each other dead tired. Now that we have two pups, I cannot spend as much time in Gorgio's office as I used to. I am a hands-on mum who likes to take care of them myself. The nannies are there to help as the two are very active. So Gorgio and I have agreed to set aside one day a week for us to be alone. On that day, I bathe the twins in the morning and hand them over to the nannies while Gorgio takes care of some urgent business that cannot take more than two hours. Then we are together. Sometimes we stay in the packhouse and relax but more often we go on picnics and swim in my favorite lake. A few times we go shopping at the mall
Luna Ariel's POV again Two more laps and I feel the first cramps coming on.Gorgio sits at the edge of the pool watching me reach the stairs. When I get there, I grab hold of the step and take a deep breath. But then I felt another one and I was sure the contractions had started. My eyes fly to my mate, who is now watching me closely."Why did you stop? You're so red, darling". He slowly gets up and comes over to me, still watching me closely. "It looks like the contractions have started, Gorgio. I feel cramps in my lower abdomen". He ran over to me, sank into the water and helped me up the steps. When he was out of the pool, he held me tightly as we walked to the deckchair. He took the thick bath towel and wrapped me in it. I embrace the warmth that now surrounds me.My mate helps me to lie down and holds my hand. His face is still relaxed. And then I felt the next one and I knew we were ready for the hospital room he had pr
Luna Ariel's POV again "Who do you love?" "You, my Luna”. "And who can't live without you?" "It's you, my love". "And who do you belong to?""To you, my mate".."And who do you drive crazy with your sweet body?""You, my Luna. You and you alone."Here I lie in bed with my only mate, our bodies entwined. It's like before, after a marvelous lovemaking, we renew our vows to each other. Only now there's a big belly between us, we can't get any closer than our twins allow us to. Having pups comes with a lot of adjustments. We've had to cut down on our sex drive, I run out of breath more quickly now."Have I proved my love for you well enough, my love? I have challenged the mating bond with another male just to be faithful to our love. Would you do the same for me?" I know my question is daring, but lately, I have been wondering if Gorgio could end up in the same situation as me.A fully mated and
