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 POV As the car pulled up to my father’s house, I realized that it wasn’t the only car returning to my father’s estate at this moment. Alpha Jace and Dom were also returning at the same time, and honestly, a huge part of me wished in my heart that I was wrong about Luna Rebeca, and that Damian would be emerging from the car with them. But as the doors open to their car, I hold my breath, standing outside my own car, watching and waiting in anticipation to see if he is with them. Unfortunately, all my hopes at that moment our crushed when Alpha Jace and Dom emerge from the car, shutting their doors behind them, letting me know that they had come up empty handed in finding Damian. My sister at that moment stepped to my side, taking my hand into hers, giving it a squeeze to try and comfort me, knowing that Damian was still missing. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath, knowing that I had to convince one of these two Alphas that Luna Rebeca indeed had
Dom’s POV My eyes followed Kit as she stormed into the house, making me wonder if my thoughts of Damian being mine could be true. When she disappeared from my sight, I turned to look at Alpha Jace, who I thought was standing beside me, but to my surprise he stormed off himself, leaving me wondering, what the hell had just happened. “Alpha Domonic.” I heard my name being called from behind me, making me turn to see Kit’s sister Sophia, not realizing that she was probably standing there this whole time. “If I may make a suggestion.” She then said, getting my full attention, thinking that she may be able to shed some light on what just happened. “I think you and Kit really need to sit down and talk, before it’s too late.” Is all she said to me, before she stepped around me, heading into the house herself, telling me that she knew something but wasn’t inclined to tell me. Sophia was right, it was time that Kit and I had a little conversatio
Kit’s POV A weight felt like it had been lifted off my chest finally, telling him the truth about what happened that day at the cabin, and that Damian was his son, but even getting this finally off my chest, it didn’t change things between us. Now that the cat was out of the bag, I expected him to go off on me from keeping this from him, but instead he just stared at me as if he wasn’t in shock but like he was processing this. “You’re right, it’s not safe here for him, and I am not upset at you for doing what you thought was best to keep him safe. But, if I had only known that you were pregnant with our child that day at the cabin, I would have left with you, and given up everything to be with you and our son.” Dom finally says to me, as he once again tries to reach for me, but I know if I let him hold me in his arms, I was likely to cave, and I couldn’t do that, because right now I had to focus on getting my son back, and getting him somewhere safe, w
Kit’s POV It now was a full day since Damian had gone missing. A full twenty-four hours since I had last seen his beautiful little smiling face, and it felt like someone had ripped my heart from my chest. My head felt like it was in a fog when I woke up, and I knew that all the crying I had done the previous day, didn’t help with this, but I couldn’t stop the tears even if I wanted to, because the pain I was feeling not knowing exactly where my son was and if he was okay, was a pain that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. A part of me blamed myself for this, because the look on Luna Rebeca’s face yesterday when she had seen him, and watched him disappear into the house, alerted me that she suspected something, but I sat there in that seat on the patio and left her walk into the house without getting up to follow her. If I had only just followed her into the house and watched her with my own two eyes leave my father’s estate, none of this would have happ
Kit’s POV The cast iron pan crashed against his head with a loud thump, and his hand instantly released from around my sister’s neck, dropping her body to the floor, as she gasped for air, holding her throat. Unfortunately, the blow he took from the pan only stunned him enough to let go of her, but not enough to take him down, as he turns to me with his eyes narrowed at me. “You.” He says to me through gritted teeth, as he held his hand to his head, where the pan had met his skull. “You caused all of this, you little bitch.” Before he went to reach for me and I quickly reacted by swinging the pan at him once again, but he caught the pan in mid swing, making my eyes widen, as I realized I no longer had my weapon to defend myself. Jerking my arm back, trying to pull the pan free from his grasp, I realized that there was no way in hell I was going to be able to get it back from his hold on it. Releasing my hand from the pan, I took a step b
Kit’s POV His eyes widened as he stared directly into my eyes, before they moved down to the knife now hanging out of his chest, as I let go of the handle of the knife, taking a step or two back from him, in fear this wasn’t over. But blood began to gush from the wound, telling me that it had hit its mark, and as I listened to the sound of his heart beating, I could hear it begin to slow. His hands moved to the handle of the knife, instantly being coated in his blood flowing freely from the wound, and he did something I never thought he would do. With what little strength I knew he had left in him, he pulled on the handle of the knife, ripping it from his chest, but as it was freed, his blood began to flow even faster from within him, and I could see the color of his flesh disappearing fast. Looking down at the knife now in his hand, coated in his blood, dripping to the floor beneath him, his hand tightened around the knife before he rai
Dom’s POV “How the hell did he even get through the gates on your watch?” I asked Roger, the man I had left in charge of Kit’s wellbeing, thinking that I had chosen wisely, but I am rethinking it now, as I looked down at the dead body of Sophia’s mate, lying on the kitchen floor, dead by not the hands of my men, but by the hands of my fated mate. “Alpha, I can assure you, he didn’t come through the front gate. Someone had to have left him in at some other point of entry. We have found his car parked at the South end of the estate, and our man stationed there is missing.” Roger says to me, as he pleads for me to take mercy on him, but he has no clue that he almost let his true Luna die on his watch. “Missing or deserted his post, because his loyalties lay elsewhere?” Alpha Jace says as he stands up from assessing the body, and then adds, “It’s obviously not safe here for Katrina, even with your sworn protection.” “Your me
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
