Jace’s POV Her hair was the color of fire, running all the way past her plump breasts, and her eyes were as blue as the sea, capturing my soul with just one look from her. We both stood there, frozen in time, gazing at one another, as the muffled sound of Alpha Issac’s voice echoed in the room, but I couldn’t make out what he was saying, as all my senses were tuned into one thing, and that was her. A soft smile slowly formed onto her face, and I couldn’t help but to reciprocate by smiling back at her. I had searched high and low for my fated mate, but had always come up empty, that was until now. It was as if the Moon Goddess was finally shining her blessing upon me, making me realize that everything that I had done and sacrificed, didn’t go unnoticed. Lost in the haze, I somehow got to my feet, and closed the distance between us, as it felt like those few feet were like being miles apart. Staring down at her, her chest began to rise hea
Dom’s POV “Alpha Domonic. Alpha Domonic…” My eyes slowly opened to my name being called, awakening me after I must have fallen asleep at Kit’s father’s desk, in his study, early in the morning hours. After the conversation I had had with Kit last night, I found myself unable to leave here, wanting to make sure that she remained safe throughout the night. As I raised my head from the stack of papers piled on the desk, my eyes focused on the doorway, to see Ms. Caroline standing there, patiently waiting for me to respond to her. “Good morning, Ms. Caroline. Is everything okay?” I asked her as I ran my hands through my hair, trying to put it back in place, but I knew I had to look a mess, after everything that had happened last night, and by my scent I was taking in, I honestly needed a hot shower. “Alpha, everything is okay, you need not to worry. I came to tell you that breakfast will be ready soon, and that I had the master’s suite prepa
Kit’s POV The pain killers that the pack doctor had given me thankfully allowed me to sleep through most of the night, allowing my body to heal, but it was clear that my ribs were going to take a while to heal verses the rest of my wounds. With the help of Ms. Caroline, I was able to take a bath, washing away the evidence of yesterday’s assault externally. But internally, it was going to take some time to heal, and I didn’t just mean my ribs. Last night while I slept, the assault haunted my dreams, and I knew even though I did what I had to do, I still took a life, and that wasn’t something one just got over. I feared that my soul would forever be tainted by it, even though I knew if I hadn’t taken his life, he would have taken my own and maybe even my sister’s. With some help, I was able to make it to the dining room for breakfast, but I was shocked when I entered the room. Dom sat at the head of the table, the same seat that my father
Kit’s POV A smile formed on my face when my eyes met with hers, as I was happy not for just Alpha Jace, but for her too, because I knew how it felt to find your fated mate. The smile that was beaming on her face, along with the body language between them, told me that they were very much happy together, and it made me wish that things between Dom and I could have been this easy like it obviously was for them. But unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy, and we still had a bumpy road ahead of us, and I honestly wasn’t sure what our future held.As I took in all of this, it was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, knowing that without Damian and I in his life, Alpha Jace wouldn’t be alone. It was as if the Moon Goddess blessed him, after everything that he had done for us, and my heart felt full knowing that he would finally be happy.Alpha Jace was a good man, with a big heart, and if anyone deserved happiness, it was him, and by the looks of things right now, he
Dom’s POV Relief washed not just through me hearing that we have the men that we needed, but I could see it also wash through Kit, as I could sense an immediate change in her, with Alpha Jace’s news. This was the news that we had both needed to hear today, especially after everything that Kit had gone through yesterday.Not only was Kit an emotional wreck, but it was apparent that she was in a grave amount of pain, but didn’t want to be alone in her room, and I honestly couldn’t blame her. Right now, she needed to be surrounded by those that she trusted, so that she could seek comfort, until I brought our son back home.Kit at that moment squeezed my hand, as she turned to look at me, and I could see the tears in her eyes threatening to spill from them, but at this moment I didn’t know if they were tears of happiness that I would be heading into battle to get our son back, or if they were tears of sadness and pain. “We have to get him back.” Kit says finally to me, and
Kit’s POVWhen breakfast was over, Alpha Jace and Dom quickly disappeared to my father’s study to discuss strategies, leaving Lizzy and I alone, giving me the opportunity to get to know her. Needing some fresh air, I asked her if she would like to join me out back on the patio, for a morning cup of tea. When I went to stand from my seat, Lizzy quickly rushed to my side to help me, and it was clear that her heart was pure, because with Alpha Jace’s absence, she was just as caring. It gave me hope that maybe I could find more with her than just an ally, since I was lacking in the friend’s department my whole life. As she helped me to sit down, I kindly thanked her, before she took her own seat, and Ms. Caroline brought us both a warm cup of tea, and a plate of fresh baked cookies. Lizzy smiled up at Ms. Caroline, before she said to her, “Thank you. They smell so good. My mother used to bake me cookies like these when I was a child.” As she took one from
Kit’s POV Honestly, I had just met Lizzy, and I wasn’t quite sure if I could trust her, but something was telling me that I could, the same something that I had trusted all those years ago when I had gone to Alpha Jace for help. Maybe it was because she was his mate, or maybe it was because I so desperately wanted my son back, but either way, I had to take the chance. Popping the lid off the jar of pills, I instantly smelt the herbs of healing, telling me she wasn’t lying to me. Taking one from the jar, I popped it into my mouth, washing it down with the warm cup of tea, as I stared over at her acrost the table from me. Placing the lid back on the pill jar, I shoved the bottle of remaining pills into my pocket, not wanting Dom to see them, because of what happened the last time I had dabbled in them. With my eyes still on Lizzy, I finally ask her the question that had been stuck in my head since the word, “we” came from her lips, “What a
Kit’s POVDom immediately took my hand into his, before he says to me, “I must leave for a little while. I need to gather my men and prepare them for battle. I assure you that I have my best men here on watch, and that no one will get through that gate to harm you.” “I have some of my best men stationed outside too.” Alpha Jace says, making me look acrost the table at him, and it was clear that the both of them were concerned about my safety, but I was done being the girl that everyone had to protect. I wanted to chuckle at them both, because their protection did nothing last night to save me. As my eyes moved from Alpha Jace to Lizzy, I realized at that moment that I wanted to no longer be someone that needed protection. I wanted to be as confident as she was, and I wanted to save my son. For hell’s sake last night, I had taken on a grown ass man on my own and survived. If I was capable of doing that, then I was more than capable of getting my son bac
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
