Kit’s POV

                Stepping out of the car, I wondered to myself, what the hell was I thinking as I made my way up the grand staircase into the ballroom. Last night this sounded like a great idea, but now as I make my way through all the people gathered here, as they part and their eyes are on me, I wonder how grave of a mistake I have made.

                My sister had pulled through for me with the most lavishing dress I have ever set eyes on. It was the most stunning shade of light blue, that sparkled in the moonlight, with a million tiny crystals embroidered delicately among the sheer fabric. It hung on my body, accenting my curves in all the right spots, and I looked like the Moon Goddess herself as my light blonde hair cascaded down my right shoulder in soft curls.

                It had been over five years since I had seen a soul around here, and not a face in sight looked familiar to me, but I guess none of that really mattered because I was on a mission and that mission was Alpha Jace. The only issue was, I had no clue who Alpha Jace was or what he looked like.

                Unfortunately, there was one face in the crowd that I did know, and as I walked down the grand staircase his eyes met with mine. Quickly, I tried to look away at anything but him, but for some reason, my eyes drew right back to him, as if they were drawn to him like magnets. Of course, he was surrounded by a group of she wolves, which I wouldn’t expect anything less from him, as they hung onto his every word that came from his lips.

                At that moment, I noticed movement to my right, and I turned my attention away from Dom to see a large group of she wolves moving towards a male. I couldn’t see his face as his back was turned to me, but something told me it had to be Alpha Jace, my reasoning for being here in the first place.

                My eyes moved back to Dom for one last glance, and his eyes were now intensely staring at me. He was no longer engaging in conversation with the she wolves around him as he took a step away from them, and towards me.

                Closing my eyes for just a second, I took a deep breath, and told myself I could do this. When I opened my eyes, I looked away from Dom, and took a step but in the opposite direction of him and towards the mystery man that was drawing all the she wolves’ attention. I didn’t turn to see the look on Dom’s face, because I could feel his eyes on me, as he watched me walk away from him, and that was satisfaction enough at this moment.

                As I stepped closer to the mystery man, the she wolves in front of me parted, as if they knew that I out ranked them, and I hated that my status beamed still from me, but it was something that I was born with, and it was something that I would never be able to hide even with the pills that I take. Hiding my wolf was one thing, but hiding the blood that flows through my veins is another story.

                The mystery man in front of me was engaged in conversation with a she wolf when I went to approach, and I stopped not wanting to interrupt their conversation, but as soon as his eyes landed on my own, he froze like time stood still, as he gazed at me.

                The young she wolf from the party was right when she said that he was dreamy, as his blue eyes pierced into my own, taking my breath away. I had heard music softly playing in the background when I had walked over here but now, all I heard was silence and the sound of my heart beating in my chest as he took a step toward me.

                His hand at that moment extended taking mine into his as he pulled it to his lips, placing the gentlest of a kiss on the back of my hand, before he says, “I am Alpha Jace, my lady, and you are?”

                My heart fluttered at his touch, but it felt so different from the way it felt when Dom had touched me. I needed to pull it together, and I needed to make this happen. “Katrina, and it is a pleasure to meet you.”

                “The pleasure is all mine.” Alpha Jace said to me with a huge smile on his face as he remained holding onto my hand, and I knew that I had his undivided attention.

                My beauty was enough to grasp his attention, but I knew if I wanted to keep that attention solely on me, I was going to have to lay on the charm, something that I was not accustomed to doing, since for the last five years I have kept myself at a distance from everyone except my immediate family, but I was not a fool. I knew how the game was played, and I had watched my sister for years play her game to win her rich mate.

                Batting my eyelashes at Alpha Jace, I say to him, “No Alpha Jace, the pleasure is all mine.” As I let out a breath, pulling my fan out that my sister had given me, and began to fan myself softly, letting my scent, fan slowly towards him, intoxicating him, with the aroma of my Beta’s blood.

                Alpha Jace licked his lips at that moment, and I knew that my sister’s little party trick worked, as his hand moved to the collar of his shirt, loosening it, just enough to allow him to breathe a bit easier, from my pheromones that were becoming intoxicating to him.

“Would you give me the honor of your first dance?” He now asks, and I lower my head just enough to accept his offer as I turn with him towards the dance floor.

                With my hand in his, a path before us opened, while all eyes now fell on us as we made our way towards the dance floor. Whispers now broke out throughout the crowd around us, but I paid no attention to them, as I knew I was giving the best performance of my life, to snag the most eligible mate of the season. A devious smile was now on my face because I knew by doing this, I was also repaying Dom for the way he made me feel all those years ago.

                At that moment, I wished that I could see his face and the pain in his eyes seeing me with another, but I realized quickly it was one thing that I should not have wished for, as he stepped in front of us blocking our path to the dance floor.

    Kit’s POV A growl radiated from Dom, before, “Kit” slipped from his lips, and I knew by the way he said my name, he wasn’t in the least bit liking the fact that I was on Alpha Jace’s arm, and that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted him to feel the pain of seeing me with another, the same pain that he had caused me all those years ago, and I wanted him to know that he would never have what he so desired. Alpha Jace turns to me at that moment and says, “I thought you said your name was Katrina.” A nervous giggle slipped from my lips, before I say to him, “It is, but Domonic and I grew up together, and he has always called me Kit.” I began at that moment to fan myself once again as I turned to look at Dom still standing in our way and then add, “Please don’t mind him, he is a bit overprotective of me, like an older brother, and he doesn’t know when enough is enough.” As my eyes remained on Dom’s hoping he was taking in all the words I was

    Dom’s POV When my eyes met with Kit’s tonight, I sensed something different about her, and to be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Last night at her sister’s dinner party I wanted her more than I thought I ever had before, but tonight that need grew even more, especially when she showed up to the ball looking so enticing. But when her affection wasn’t for me but for Alpha Jace, I found myself unable to control my inner wolf, but thankfully I got ahold of myself before my wolf challenged him. It wasn’t until Kit stepped past me, did I smell her irresistible scent, and I turned to watch her take the dance floor in his arms. Taking another inhale of her intoxicating aroma, my wolf now came alive within me, making me realize why she was smelling so enticing, but it made no sense since Kit was without wolf, or was she? Making my way around the outskirts of the dance floor, I watched the two of them dance, as they took the dance floor o

    Dom’s POV We had finally made it to the cabin, but Kit’s heat was almost in full bloom, and I was having a hard time restraining myself from taking her, especially since I could smell her innocence mixed with the sweet aroma of her heat. Picking her body up from the back seat of the SUV, to carry her into the cabin, heat poured from her skin, almost unbearable to touch, as she no longer screamed but moaned out in pain.I knew that I had to get her body temperature cooled down, or she was going to burn up. There were only two ways of taking the pain away, and one way I knew I couldn’t do it, at least not with her permission, even though I wanted her more than anything in this world, I wasn’t like my father, and I wouldn’t just take what I wanted.So, there was only one other option, but I knew that it was only a temporary fix, but I hoped that it was enough, that Kit could come back to her senses enough to allow me to take her pain away.

    Kit’s POV My eyes slowly fluttered open, as the burning fire within me simmered, but my core throbbed for release, a release that I knew only a mate could give. Strong arms tightened around me, pulling me closer to the chest they belonged to, and my body instantly formed against it, betraying me, as our naked flesh touched as one. I knew whose arms I was in, just by the touch, but I didn’t know how I allowed this to happen, because I had made a vow to myself that I would never allow him to touch my flesh. Even if I was having my first heat, I should have had my senses telling me to withstand it on my own, and of all the males at the ball, of course it had to be him that sensed it. I should have known better than to go to the ball, especially knowing that my wolf was gaining strength within me. With it being a full moon, and a room full of males, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Once again, I had caused dishonor for my family, and I w

    Kit’s POV My hands moved from my sides as they reached up wrapping around his neck pulling him to me, as my lips crashed against his. Dom’s hands moved from where they were previously on my body to my back side, lifting me off the ground, and my legs instantly wrapped around his torso, as he carried me back towards the bed. My mind was telling me this wasn’t a good idea, but my body was yearning for his touch, and what was wrong with getting one night of relief from the pain. Dom owed me this, after what he had done to me, and I was going to make him pay up. Lowering my body onto the bed, Dom pulled from the kiss, as his hands moved to his shirt that I had put on, and as he gripped the two sides of it, buttons went flying as he pulled it open, exposing my naked body, while I let out a yelp of surprise. My eyes looked up into Dom’s and they were now as black as night, filled with lust for me. I wondered at that moment if once he had me, t

    Kit’s POV My dream of one day finding my fated mate, and him sweeping me away from all of this was gone, with the realization that Dom of all people, was my mate. The elders had called it right when they said that we were destined to be together, but I prayed that they were wrong. But now as I stare into his eyes, I now know why all these years I was drawn to him, even when I wanted to hate him. All those feelings that came rushing back to me when I saw him, now made sense, but I had to wonder if he knew, and if so, how long he knew. By the look in his eyes now, told me that he knew, and a part of me wanted to strangle him now on the spot, but at that very moment he began to gently move his hips, and all thoughts of strangling him washed away as my body once again betrayed me.Why did this have to feel so good and so right? And why with every gentle thrust, did I want to pull him closer to me? There was no doubt that it was the mate bond doing its thing, but why, why

    Kit’s POV In a matter of seconds, Dom pulled from within me, and removed himself from on top of me, as he got to his feet, stepping away from the bed. Grabbing the sheet, I pulled it to cover my naked body, as my eyes stared at him, wondering what was going on in his head. He was getting what he wanted, so why had he stopped? “I can’t do this. Not like this.” he said as he ran his hands through his tussled hair. His actions right now were confusing me, and I had to know why he was acting this way, because the last time I checked he was only doing this because I was in heat, and because he was fulfilling his wants to take me. “Like what?” I asked him, as I wiped away the tears that had fallen down my cheeks. His hand moved to point at me, as he said, “Like that.” Pointing out the tears that I had just wiped away. “What does it matter to you how you are getting it from me? Isn’t this what you wanted?” I ask

    Dom’s POV I couldn’t believe that she would think that I would betray her, because the love that I once had for her and still do, was more than I could even famine. Kit was my mate, and even though she thought the worst of me five years ago, I had to find it in my heart to forgive her. Maybe the guilt was on me, maybe I didn’t show her enough love and compassion back then, but now I could. “I’m so sorry.” Came from her lips once again, and I knew by the look in her eyes that she was hurting just as badly as I was, or even worse. Now that her reasoning for pushing me away from her was brought to light, I hoped that now she would let me into that heart of hers and allow me to finally love her. “Shh.” I say to her, as I run my hands back through her hair. “What is done is done, but we can still be.” I then said to her, letting her know that I forgive her, and I still want to be with her. Through her sobs, Kit says to me, “Wh

We have to leave now, if we are going to make it.” I yelled out the backdoor, as I was now in a panic that we were going to miss the ceremony. Dom was making sure that all our luggage made it to the SUV, as I rounded up our children to head to Mystic Shadow. Ms. Caroline at that moment moved from the kitchen with a basket in her arms, and I knew from the smell coming from it, she had baked a fresh batch of her famous cookies for the road trip there. It didn’t take much convincing on my behalf to get Ms. Caroline to come and live with us at our new estate. She was treated more as family then she was as hired help, and she had a cottage on our estate to call home, when she needed her own space. “You heard your mother, lets get a move on it.” She yelled out the backdoor, reinforcing what I had already said, and I gave her a smile knowing

    Kit’s POVFor a moment, I wanted to believe that I was seeing what my mind wanted me to see, but I knew it couldn’t be him, because we had buried his body, the day after the war was won against Red Moon. But there standing at the bottom of the grand stairs stood a man, with the same eyes that Dom had, staring back at me. It was as if I was witnessing a frozen moment in time from the night of the ball, and everything around me now wasn’t real. My sister’s hand that I was once holding for support, slowly evaporated from my own grasp, like it was never there in the first place. My head at that moment began to spin, as if time was rewinding, and everything that had happened had all been a dream. If this was true, I knew if I looked to my right, Alpha Jace would be surrounded by a group of starving women trying to get his attention. Closing my eyes, I turned my head to the right, half scared to open them, because in my heart, I wanted this to so badly to be

    Kit’s POV Red Moon thankfully fell that day, but so much was lost in taking them down, and my heart ached at the pain it has brought to all of us. But by taking down Red Moon, an alliance among those packs that fought together, had been formed, and Alpha Jace was deemed as head of a council that was created, so that not one pack was solely in control of the region. Dom had made the ultimate sacrifice that day, and my world and Damian’s, will be forever changed because of it. I no longer had to worry about Damian’s safety, as Alpha Orion was dead, and Luna Rebeca was also gone, at the hands of Lizzy, who I will forever be in her debt for. My father’s estate was now my home, and for the first time it actually felt like a home to me, especially since I had Ms. Caroline in my life again. It all felt so surreal being here, since it was the place that I had feared coming back to, for so long, but now I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.Even t

    Dom’s POV I had loaded all the Alphas’ heirs in the van, like Alpha Jace had told me to, but as I began to drive down the lane with them, I found myself bringing the van to a complete stop, when I heard one of the Alpha boys say, “Domonic what is going on?” Looking into my rearview mirror, I realized quickly that he was talking to another little Alpha boy in the backseat, instead of me, and my eyes set on the little Alpha boy that was called Domonic. There was nothing about the Alpha boy that remotely looked like me, and it made me wonder if my intuition of Rebeca, not actually having my child was true. As I stared at him, I quickly realized who he resembled, and I knew now who Rebeca’s fated mate was. Damian at that moment whispers back to the other Alpha boy, “Don’t worry, you know our father will come for us.” As his eyes move to mine, looking at him in the rearview mirror.I didn’t have to think much on who he meant by their father,

    Jace’s POV Not even bothering to wait for a response from Alpha Domonic, I race towards the house, knowing that my mate could very well be inside, especially since Luna Rebeca disappeared inside moments ago. As soon as I stepped inside the house, I could smell Elizabeth’s sweet scent filling my senses, and I knew that she had to be recently here in the foyer. Following her scent, I moved towards my right, down a hallway that look to be leading to Alpha Orion’s office. Voices now filled the air, as I could hear Luna Rebeca arguing with someone, and by the sounds of it, that someone was her mate, as she was scolding him for going to leave her. Pausing in the hallway, I heard her say to him, “Everything I have ever done has been for you. You promised me that we could finally be together soon, with our son.” A growl rippled from the room and down the hallway, letting me know that the male in the room was no other than Alpha O

    Jace’s POV Alpha Domonic lets out a growl as he holds Luna Rebeca’s body by her throat, and I knew that I had to stop him from killing her at this moment, because it was now clear that we had our own bargaining chip to get Elizabeth back. Luna Rebeca obviously had a fated mate here at Red Moon, and I knew that her mate would do whatever it took to keep her safe. Even though I wanted Luna Rebeca dead for Kit and Damian’s safety, right now wasn’t the time to take her life, as we needed her to ensure my own mate’s safety. Shifting back into my human form, I move to Alpha Domonic, and say to him, “Don’t kill her yet. We need her to get Elizabeth back.” Alpha Domonic’s eyes move from Luna Rebeca to me, and I could see the anger in them for everything she had done to him, but right now he needed to focus on the task at hand and that was getting my mate back and saving the Alphas’ heirs. Releasing his grip, Luna Rebeca fell to the ground, gaspi

    Dom’s POV Seeing Rebeca’s wolf now standing before me, fueled a fire inside of me, as I began to see red at the sight of her, and I had no doubt she was a major player in what was happening here. She had accompanied these wolves here for a reason, and something told me that reason was to see my end come to me, but by the look in her eyes, it was clear that she wasn’t expecting to see Alpha Jace with me. Alpha Jace at that moment began to move to his right, and I knew that he was trying to block her from being able to escape to warn Alpha Orion of our arrival, as I remained having eye contact with her, to try and distract her from what he was doing. But Rebeca wasn’t stupid, as she took a step to her left, and I quickly mimicked her, not allowing her to get past me. But her foolishness to think that she could get past me, cost her ground, as Alpha Jace closed in on her. Rebeca was now trapped between the two of us, and she had no means of

    Jace’s POV It was clear that Dom was struggling with leaving Katrina like this, but he had his pack’s future to deal with. Plus, my Luna was still there, I am sure in danger at the hands of Alpha Orion, and I was going to make him pay for whatever he had done to her. It infuriated me that it had been her plan to go into Red Moon territory, deceiving me, but like Katrina had said, she was a female Alpha and a true Luna, and she thought she was doing this for the sake of all our packs. With that, I had to swallow my anger, and not take it to heart, because I knew if the shoe was on the other foot, I would have done the same thing. As we had been waiting to hear the outcome of Katrina’s surgery, the other packs had been getting into position, completely surrounding Red Moon pack’s borders. The plan that I had put in place after Alpha Domonic had left was a sure thing, at least it looked that way on paper. With having twelve packs backing us

    Dom’s POV We moved our conversation into the house, as Ms. Caroline brought us a cup of coffee, and Damian a cup of hot coco, while we waited for Kit’s surgery to be completed. We only had a few hours before the attack on Red Moon was to take place, but we knew that Damian held valuable information to help us save the Alphas’ heirs since he had been held with them. Turns out that the heirs were being held at Alpha Orion’s estate, and there were twelve boys in total there, each of them with the same names given to them of their fathers. There was no doubt in my mind that this was how Kit had put it all together what was happening there, because she had helped me the night before, making all the calls to the Alphas of the region and saw the complete list of all their names. Now that Alpha Jace and I had this information, Alpha Jace changed the subject and asked Damian, “Did you see another lady with mommy there?” Letting me know that he mu
