Kit’s POV Trying to put my best game face on, I smiled at Luna Rebeca, before I said to her, “Luna Rebeca, it is a pleasure to see you. I would stand to welcome you, but as you can see, I am a bit unwell.” “I heard you were attacked in your own home, and I came to make sure that you are alright. I am sorry that this happened on our territory, and Dom has given me his word that he has sent his men to protect you for the rest of your duration of your stay with us.” Luna Rebeca said to me, with what sounded like sincerity in her voice, but her eyes were telling me a different story, and I realized quickly I wasn’t the only one putting a show on. “Would you like a cup of tea, Luna Rebeca?” Ms. Caroline asks her, and Luna Rebeca quickly says, “No thank you, I am just here because I would like a moment with Luna Katrina alone.”Ms. Caroline’s eyes quickly moved to mine, and I nodded my head telling her it was okay, before I turned my attention
Kit’s POV Barely having time to process the conversation that just transpired between Luna Rebeca and myself, my sister comes flying out of the house, like a tornado on a path of destruction, as she begins to yell at me, “What the hell have you done now?” Looking at her, I had no idea what the hell she was talking about, because for the last couple of days I had been healing in the comfort of my bedroom, but I knew that it had to be something to do with our father’s estate. “What is it that you are accusing me of this time?” I asked her, knowing that I should be the one questioning her about her mate’s dealings. Her eyes finally met with mine as she moved towards the table and the look of disgust on her face quickly changed when she saw how bad my face looked. “What the hell happened to you?” she now asks, with now what looks like worry plaguing her face. I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what I should tell her, since
Dom’s POV I had been in my office for days now, trying to avoid the world, and my endless thoughts of Kit, as I dug deeper into her father’s estate and her sister’s mate. Luna Rebeca kept checking on me for some unknown reason, and I think she might be onto that I was on the verge of renouncing our union since she has been unable to produce an heir for me. But right now, that was at the back of my mind, as I needed to focus on fixing the issue with Kit’s father’s estate, so that she could leave my territory for good this time, getting her out of my sight, and hopefully out of my mind.It was killing me to know that she had a child with him, and that she had kept it from me. What was killing me the most was knowing that it should have been me to father her child, because I was her fated mate by the grace of the Moon Goddess, and I felt like this was my punishment for allowing my father to dictate who I took as my mate. A part of me felt like she kept thi
Dom’s POV My men had Kit’s father’s estate now like a fortress, as I made my way up the lane to the house. There was no one getting in or out without me knowing about it, but I still didn’t feel at ease knowing that they had already tried to send a message. Ms. Caroline was at the door waiting for my arrival and ushered me to the back patio. When I stepped outside, I was shocked to see only Kit’s sister waiting on me at the table, but of course that was why Kit had called me over. “Sophia, it is good to see you. Kit said that you needed to talk to me and needed my protection.” I told her as I moved to take a seat next to her, and I could see that her face was tear stained telling me this was hard on her to go against her mate like this. Nervously, Sophia shakes her head yes, as she says to me, “If I tell you what I know, I can’t ever go back. Katrina tells me that you will protect me and my children if I talk.”
Kit’s POV Once again, Dom chose her over me and his son, making me realize that Alpha Jace was the only one that I could count on. I couldn’t believe that he thought that I would play a game with my child’s life, and for what. Did he think that I was using Damian to get him to forgive me for not telling him I had a son? Damian meant the world to me, and I would never put my child in harm’s way, not even for him.There was no doubt in my mind that Luna Rebeca had something to do with Damian’s disappearance, especially seeing the way she had looked at him. I don’t know her motive, but I am sure she either figured out that he was Dom’s son, or she did it out of jealousy. Either way, I was going to get my son back, with or without Dom’s help.The house and the grounds were searched thoroughly, with the help of Dom’s men, and everyone came up empty handed. Poor Carter, Ms. Caroline’s grandson, was in shock, and I knew it was because of the panic we were all in.“Damian went
Kit’s POV Neither of them came to check on me, before they had left chasing after the wrong person to find Damian. It wasn’t until Ms. Caroline opened the door to the bedroom I was in, did I know that they had left.“Alpha Jace and Alpha Domonic are gone and took a group of men with them.” Ms. Caroline tells me, as I move to get up off the floor, placing Damian’s teddy bear back on his bed. Wiping the tears from my eyes, I say to her, “Good, have a car prepared for me. I’m leaving within the hour.” Ms. Caroline stared at me confused for a second, before she asks, “You’re leaving the estate?” Turning, I look her straight in the eyes before I say to her, “Yes, and I am going after the real person that has my son.” Ms. Caroline moved her hand to her chest, in shock at what I was about to do, but then said to me, “A mother knows, and I want you to know that I believe you, but it is not safe to go after Luna Re
Dom’s POV I was getting my chance at taking down the corruption that was plaguing my pack, with the help of Alpha Jace, like I wanted. All the hard work that I had been doing for the last couple of days was going to pay off, and Alpha Jace’s arrival couldn’t have been more perfect.If their son was truly missing, there was no doubt in my mind that these were the people that had him. Kit’s claim that Rebeca took him was beyond imposturous, because she could be a lot of things, but she wasn’t a kidnapper.Plus, the whole situation felt off to me, and the timing of the kidnapping, seemed a little too coincidental to the argument that the two of us had about her having a son to Alpha Jace. It was making me believe this was all orchestrated by her, to get my attention back, after I had told her, I wanted her to never to return to my territory again, once her father’s estate was taken care of.Kit had played her fair share of games with me, and I couldn’t help but to believe
Dom’s POV “Where is the child?” Came from Alpha Jace’s lips, followed by a growl of authority, grabbing everyone’s attention in the VIP lounge, but the look of confusion plagues all their faces, making me realize these men had no clue what he was talking about. Charles Mason, the leader of this whole underground ring, the man that I sought to take down tonight, steps forward, like Alpha Jace’s authority had no effect on him, and asks, “What is it that you are exactly accusing myself and my guests of?” “My heir was taken today from the Hart estate, and I believe your men had paid my mate a visit just days beforehand, leaving a message with her, a message that I am here to answer.” Alpha Jace says to Charles, still in his relaxed cool tone. Charles lets out a chuckle, making Alpha Jace ball his hands up into fist, and I could see that Alpha Jace was trying to keep his composure. “First off, we have no child or this heir tha
Kit’s POVSeven years later… “Damian, grab your brother, and your sister and get in here. 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
