Alisha:Melissa sounded so concerned as she said, “I heard you were sick darling. I wanted to check on you but Simon advised me not to. Are you better now?”I nodded and smiled inwardly, feeling grateful to have Simon by my side. If not for him I might not have gotten some space.& was glad he could read my horrible mood and acted accordingly. Perhaps I’d cook something nice for him tomorrow evening?“I’m alright now. I feel a lot better,” I assured the older woman, as she gently patted my cheeks.My gaze turned to Mischa, who was holding a bag that had caught my curiosity.“What’s going on? What’s in the bag?” I asked them both and Mischa huffed.“We came to dress you up. It’s a full moon festival,” Mischa explained, to which Melissa nodded.“I hope you don’t mind dear. It was my idea,” Melissa added. “You haven’t been in the pack for too long and you haven’t enjoyed a festival in years. Mischa told me about it. So I thought to make this one a little special.”I couldn’t refuse, and s

Alisha:I continued, “It’s a bad idea in all aspects. I don’t want to make things complicated between Derek and I again. Because this time it’s not only going to affect us but also affect our children. And I don’t want the twins to think something’s wrong between their mother and father. There’s also other matters that pose an obstacle, too, as you very well know.”“You mean with the Silver Moon Pack and Sebastian,” my best friend understood.“And Gerard as well, who’s still the Beta whether we like it or not,” I pointed out to her clear dislike. “And that means he will involve himself in our business if he ever found out I had returned. He wants his daughter to marry Derek, and that alone is enough motivation for him to not want to see us succeed.”Those thoughts were really not the best ones to have because it made me not have a favorable idea of what would happen. Even though I still had hope Derek and I could possibly work out, I had to be realistic.“I understand everything you’r

Alisha:By the time the sun began to set, Mischa and I had eaten wh oute a lot. With full stomachs and hearty chuckles we made our way to the clearing where most of the party was being held. The music was beautiful, and I enjoyed watching everyone dancing among themselves. A couple had shifted into their wolf forms and ran around, playing with each other.This was a time of celebration and love and to enjoy the blessings of the moon goddess.Mischa had already left to find Benjamin, and I, alone, went over to a corner and watched the dancing by myself. Pulling back the veil, i enjoyed the sights.As I did I was nearly startled by the sound of a twig snapping. Tugging the veil over my face at once, I whipped around to see Derek, who raised his hands up to show he meant well.“Mischa told me where to find you,” he explained, even though he couldn’t see my questioning look through the veil.I was speechless as he brought out a cask of mead from behind him, with two metalGoblets.“Would

DerekI could tell that Alisha was confused and did not know what to say exactly so I jumped in.“Not yet,” I told the twins, who gazed from me to their mother, their eyes shining with confusion.Alisha turned to me, looking surprised.“But,” I added, smiling as I bent down to pick them both in my arms. They were slowly getting heavier, at least from what I could tell. “I am courting your mother,” I finished.“Courting?” Ares sounded confused, his brows furrowed as he clutched the teddy to his chest.“Daddy, what’s courting?” Aria asked me.I still couldn’t help but marvel at the way the twins seemed to have a shared set of thoughts. When one spoke the other would finish their sentences and it never ceased to amaze me.Alisha coughed uncomfortably upon Aria’s blunt question. Her expression communicated to me that she didn’t want the twins to know much about that yer. I nodded at her before saying to Aria and Ares, “I’ll tell you more about it when you’re older.”“How much older daddy?

Alisha:Oh goddess, i thought as the fifth patient commented on the flowers Derek had sent me.This was so embarrassing. I thanked my lucky that I was wearing a mask to hide my blush.I was glad that Simon had only given me a raised brow and a ‘Huh’, and didn’t even see the note that came with it. THAT had been too much.Was this how he courted me? If so then it wouldn’t be long before everyone in the pack knew we were together.I decided to open a note to Derek after yet ANOTHER comment on the beautiful and rare flowers, and how they must be from someone special.I sent a guard to Derek’s with the note.‘How nice, Derek. Why send flowers? It grabs everyone’s attention,’ I wrote in the note.An hour later, he sent a guard to hand me a note , which I took with furrowed brows.‘I tried to do something romantic. Don’t you like it, love? By the way, are you free tonight? Kaiden just sent a missive, and he needs to meet with us,’ the note said.I read the note twice and couldn’t help but s

DerekIt was midnight.I waited near the back entrance of the clinic, leaning on a tree and listening to the sounds of the forest around me.Alisha’s scent was what made me aware of her presence and I turned around to see her dressed in a practical, stealthy outfit.“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long,” she said by way of greeting and I shook my head as she came up to me.“Of course not, darling,” I grinned at her. Her scent was pleasant and I couldn’t help but lean in and inhale.I could hear her heartbeat speed up.“What are you doing?” She demanded to know as though she didn’t already.“You smell nice,” i told her. “And I liked it very much.”She huffed loudly.“There’s a damn time and place for all of this, Derek,” she argued, and I felt her hand on my chest which pushed me back. I let her, and watched her fold her arms across her chest. “I’m going to need you to focus for a bit, Derek. The sooner we get there the sooner we can leave.”I agreed with her. I had planned a lo

Derek“So you think that Gerard’s suspecting something,” I stated after I listened patiently to my mate recounting her encounter with the maid this afternoon.“Not really,” she replied with.I waited for her to finish sipping at the wine I had packed along. The atmosphere between us was peaceful and quiet. I liked the fact that we could spend time like this. If Benny and Mischa hadn’t agreed to help take care of Ares and Aria tonight I may not have been able to get this figured out.Alisha then continued, “I think that he’s getting desperate if anything. He clearly has no other way to get information.”I gazed at her as she picked at the fruit she was eating. The maids had truly prepared a scrumptious meal. I only hated the fact that even now, that bastard lived rent free in our heads and we could hardly enjoy an evening together without mentioning him.“I’m working on removing him from his post. But I will need some more time,” I assured Alisha. However my words didn’t please her and

Gerard’s POV“What the hell is going on?” I barked at my servants who shrank back at the sound of my voice. I had just been woken up from my sleep this early in the morning after a long night working on my plans.“I’m sorry, sir,” the maid in charge bowed deeply to me, clearly cowering. “Miss Lila had been a little upset today. She threw bath water at the maids, that’s all.”I growled upon hearing that news. My daughter once again was causing me trouble.I spotted a few of the maids that were wet, clearly drenched from top to bottom and sniffling. Luckily it wasn’t hot water like the previous maids, I thought. Those ones had to be confined and silenced, and I ha to make sure no one knew about .Why my dear daughter was acting out this way, most wouldn’t understand but I did. All her pleadings to be let out of the house for little more than a supervised walk had not been listened to. If I did let her leave this house I knew that she would only cause more trouble for me than she was wor

EPILOGUE IIIALISHATWENTY YEARS LATER“Mmm,” I grunted as I sat up, my back hurting after using Derek’s body as a pillow.He had woken up early and left the bed, I remembered, after giving me a kiss as usual.I shouldn’t have drank so much.We were all getting on in years now, and though I had clocked forty-one last night, I still had a long life ahead of me.I smiled to myself as I remembered the way Misch, Benjamin, Hilda, mark and Derek had coerced me to take not one, not two, but THREE whiskey shots.Damn them all for being able to hold their liquor while I, barely used to drinking even at my age, had NOT.“So damn unfair,” I muttered under my breath, and thought briefly about postponing the training session I had with Mischa, Markson and Erika.The two children had grown up so fast, and were already 19 and 20 respectively, already becoming accomplished warriors at their age.Erika was much like her mother, a consummate warrior. I smirked as I remembered the way that Mischa and I

EPILOGUE IIHilda:I opened the windows of the kitchen to let in the fresh air, and enjoyed the beautiful scents of spring. My nose in the air, I sniffed, and ended up my twitching a little.I had grown sensitive to the scent of pollen around the air ever since I had given birth to Alis, my lovely daughter.She was five now, and a delightful little one to have. I began with the task of preparing lunch, as breakfast had long passed. The children would be coming over today and I also needed to go out to get some herbs and meats for dinner and breakfast tomorrow.Somehow, my role in the Red Wolf pack had settled into becoming a part-time assistant for Doctor Simon, who was soon retiring, and handling the children. Meaning, Alisha’s and the Alpha’s four children, Mischa’s and the Beta’s daughter, and mine.That was often a lot to handle, but I many ways I enjoyed it. I loved having children around me and hearing the sounds of their laughter. It reminded me of my own voice which had been s

EPILOGUE IDerek:“…And they all lived happily ever after,” Alisha finished, smiling at the dozing faces of our twins.Finally, I thought with a light chuckle. Some peace and quiet.The head of my son killed on my chest and I gently carried him out of his sister’s bed, and took him over to his own bed.Meanwhile Alisha strengthened, and I heard her take a deep breath.Her abdomen had rounded delightfully, growing our baby in her.Her due date was soon, according to Simon the last time he checked over her. And each day I prayed I wouldn’t have anything that would take me out of the pack long term, because I didn’t under any circumstances, want to be out of the pack when she gave birth. I had missed the birth of my older two children due to my own foolish mistakes, I didn’t want to miss this next one at all.“What are you thinking about?” Alisha asked me, as though she could read my mind.I smiled at her, knowing the best way to rile her up.“Our bet,” I replied with, and felt y grasped

Alisha:I opened my eyes to the sound of birds chirping. The sheets were warm underneath my body and I felt peace within me.There was finally a conclusion, I thought, to the pain and suffering, the hiding and secrecy that had been occurring for ages now.Now I could calmly walk down the streets of our pack with my twins in hand and not fear that Gerard would show up. I could embrace my relationship with Derek fully without needing to second guess myself.Sebastian was Gone.And Gerard, was Gone.Everything was well.“Hello, love,” i felt an arm I knew to be Derek’s worm its way around my waist and I smiled at the contact.It had been several days since I moved back into his home- now OUR home, and I had never felt more complete in my life.“Good morning,” I murmured to my mate, feeling his lips on the back of my neck. I turned my head and met his lips with mine, and I close my eyes as my body felt alive, wrapped up in his.“What are you thinking of?” He asked me as our lips parted an

Benjamin:“Oh goddess,” Mischa’s sigh made me smile. “That was some workout.”We lay side by side facing each other in the dark, sweat sheen over our naked bodies.“I’m glad you feel that way,” I chuckled at my mate’s words, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her closer.The scent of her hair drove me crazy, and I wondered like so many times before what kind of oil she used on it. She was always taking care of her curls with expert ease.Only the bathroom light was on in the entire house, leaving a trail of light towards our bedroom, and I enjoyed the sounds of silence, thinking about how the day had gone so quickly with all the happenings. I was glad that finally, Gerard was condemned for execution, and Sebastian, the thorn in our sides that had troubles us so much, had eventually been taken out.“Things are going to go smoothly from here on out,” Misch murmured and I marveled silently at how we always seemed to think the same thing. Almost like we knew each other since we were

Derek:I turned to glance at the Silver Moon Pack warriors who watched me and Sebastian as their Alpha lay curses on them.In their eyes I saw defiance and weariness, and I smirked inwardly.“Do you think they would come to your aid now that you’ve finally been taken off their hands?” I sniggered at Sebastian, who flared up at me. It wasn’t very much effective as he probably hoped it would be, for his eyes were swollen form the best down I had given him.“YOU ARE ALL TRAITORS!” Sebastian was livid, baring his teeth maniacally at his men. “I will KILL YOU ALL!”“Not if I have anything to say about it.”Kaiden’s voice reached me and I smiled. So the Beta did arrive.Sebastian’s face upon hearing Kaiden’s voice was nothing compared to his expression when his Beta entered the scene with the rest of their pack’s men.“You!” Sebastian spat in Kaiden’s direction, and the Beta only regarded Sebastian with indifference. “What the duck are you doing here? Disobeying my orders?!”“Your orders me

Alisha:Sebastian’s declaration made me want to retch hi whatever was left in my stomach since last night’s dinner.Well, he hasn’t changed one bit I thought. He was every bit as reprehensible as I remembered. The sense of entitlement he still had over me made me furious as well.However I was content to let Derek fight this battle for the both of us. Talking with him would only give me a headache.“Is that so?” Derek said, a calm look on his handsome features. “I had no idea you can still lay claims on someone who has absolutely nothing to do with you. And your threats, Sebastian, are nothing more than words to me. You know you will never win against me.”That served to drive Sebastian more into unbridled rage and frustration.“Alisha is mine!” He growled.Derek took a step forward, and I saw the tension in his jawline and neck as he all but spat out, “She was NEVER yours! She is MY mate, and mine alone! You made that very clear with the way you treated her when you had the chance! A

Derek:The trial had filled me with pain and guilt from the get go. Knowing that my mother had to reveal her past with my father brought me no measure of relief.But thanks to her and Alisha,The door suddenly opened and a guard rushed inside, panting as though he had run a full mile.“What is this?!” The Elders were incensed upon the trial’s interruption.“Silver Moon Pack warriors are out our gates!” The guard blurted out in such a loud voice.Immediately I went rigid. Alarm filled my body and I looked to Alisha who met my eyes at the same time.Sebastian was at our door. And that news brought a chaos that shattered the peace of the meeting hall.I could see the Pack Elders themselves had begun to lose their heads and it made me grit my teeth in frustration.“Everyone please be calm,” Alisha’s voice was like a steady lighthouse in the storm. “Now isn’t the time to panic. We can’t let this distract us. I believe we have to move against Sebastian at once. But Gerard must be put behind

Alisha:I looked to the Elders, all of whom were shocked into silence at Melissa’s confession.“Things got so bad, that I had been unable to have another child. Or rather, I couldn’t carry the pregnancies to term. That was because, due to many of Marcus’ actions, I would end up having a miscarriage before long. There were several times…” she swallowed heavily. “That I had to deal with those losses without any support.“Hearing that shocked me to my core; she had never told me this before! Turning to glance at Derek, I saw pain on his face, and knew he hadn’t heard of this either.How badly he must feel, I thought, to see his mother this way.Every part of me longed to comfort them, but I knew I couldn’t put a stop to this trial just yet.Melissa took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before continuing. “That night Marcus died, was another of his worse nights. Derek stopped him, and Marcus tried to attack him. No… he tried to KILL his own son. And Derek had no choice but to defend himse
