AlishaI was trembling in his presence - in my would be mate’s presence who never acknowledged me for anything, except when he needed a toy.Why had I come to the common room again, I wondered as he stood towering over me. All my words had failed me and I was left floundering.Despite that, I was glad to have his eyes on me and not on any other girl. Somewhere in my heart I still loved him, even when he hurt me so much. Why couldn’t he love me the same in return?“What do you want?” He sneered at me and I tried to stop my eyes from welling up with tears but it was inevitable.“Please,” I begged him. “If you could make an announcement… or anything-“ my voice broke at the last word. I couldn’t say anything more without having the tears spill down my face.All I heard from Sebastian was said with a tone of absolute disdain.“You’re nothing to me,” he all but spat at me and I flinched.If it was possible to break my heart into pieces a second time I was sure that he would.His dark eyes b

DerekI got up before the sun rose, unable to rest well with my companion snoring by my side.Without much thought I rolled my eyes at her. She was just as loud in her sleep as she was when I had kept her pinned under my body and pounded into her.Entering my bathroom swiftly, I traipsed down the large path to my shower.I really needed a hot shower, I thought with a groan.Once I turned the water setting to hot and felt the nearly scalding water drip down my head and soak my head, I felt a measure of relief.Several minutes after I got my shower out of the way and made my way out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my waist.My companion for the night - what was her name again, Beatrice or something? - must have begun to stir, and I didn’t want her leaving just yet.I opened the door and stepped back into my room. On the table right next to my bathroom door was the the bowl I had ordered prepared the previous night.True to my thoughts, I noticed she wasn’t on the bed an

AlishaHis touch burned on my skin and I ached badly for more of it. Only when we were like this did the burden in my heart cease.“Sebastian,” I cried out his name and his gaze on me turned dangerous. Before I knew it he had taken several steps from me and I was left devoid of his touch - a regretful outcome.I whined from where I was pinned on the bed only seconds ago, my body wanting him and only him - my mate.“Sebastian please,” my voice became a whisper.“Get the fuck out,” was all I heard. It was like a bucket of cold water being splashed onto my face and I shivered, tears prickling my eyes. His eyes bore into me as I opened my mouth and tried to speak.But he didn’t wait for that. Instead he grabbed his jacket and stormed out of his own bedroom, slamming the door so loudly that it shook.I had broken one of his rules again.…That core memory still replayed over and over in my head as the head maid handed us tasks to do.Despite being the mate of the Alpha, I was practically s

AlishaI needed to leave.I picked myself up from the bed slowly. Luckily the sun hadn’t even come close to rising yet and the man still hadn’t been roused from sleep.Quietly I got dressed and tiptoed to the door, my heart pounding.I entered a large hallway that I had never seen before. It was comparable to Sebastian’s home that I gaped.Woah.Who was this man that could live in such a massive house? I walked towards the end of one of the hallways which seemed to stretch on forever. It was then that I heard a soft voice cal out to me.“Why hello..? I’ve never seen you before. You’re new.”I turned to find an elderly looking woman with silver hair dressed in gold.Though the woman’s voice was kind, my hackles had risen. I was hoping to leave before anyone would see me and now that plan was a bust. Crap.The woman’s eyes surveyed me.“You’re a quiet one, aren’t you?” She noted, curiosity coloring her voice.“I’m, um… I’m sorry.” My stammers were not the assured tone I wanted to carry,

DerekI groaned as the sunlight hit my eyes.“Fuck,” I cursed to the empty air, before slowly sitting up. I had been more drunk than I had wanted to last night.After a while of trying to recall exactly how reality hit me.Had I not come home with that girl?Alisha, I recalled her name.She had been a good companion for the night, more than most other girls I had been with.Realizing I was alone brought to mind that she had somehow gone while I was sleeping.I rushed to stand, angry with myself.I had met my guard down. And she had left while I was asleep.I had to find her, I thought and suddenly my hand flew to my chest.What was this?There was this pain deep within me, a longing for something I couldn’t name.My wolf side itched to come out and I growled out.“What is it?” I asked out loud. “What are you looking for?”The word came in a flash, echoing within me.Mate.Then it was over, or maybe it was just the beginning. Either way, the awareness of the presence of something that

Alisha:I stirred from my restless slumber to the sounds of birds. The forest was quiet at the early hours of the evening and I could see the dawn peeking through the morning sky. I was in a clearing, resting on one of the larger roots of the redwood trees around me. I had walked so long before I had come upon it that afternoon. And I had stopped to rest. My tears had long run dry but I was still shaken from everything.That was when I heard it; unmistakable sounds of footsteps, crunching leaves in their path.Following it was the sound of humming which made me tense and look around me. The voice was closer than I expected. I saw him before he saw me; a man coming up from my left.But it was too late for me to hide a I knew that as soon as he stopped humming, his face turned in my direction.I looked down as the footsteps grew close and closer.Now I was in trouble.“Now who are you?” I heard him ask, as if he was talking to himself.You’re dead. You can’t even survive a day without

DerekI frowned to myself.This was such an annoying thing.It had been days and since I had heard no word of this girl.Benjamin was walking beside me from the warrior’s cabin where I had an impromptu inspection on my way to see him from the training grounds. He didn’t speak; I bet it had to be because he knew of how badly my mood was affected.Why was this darned girl so elusive?Alisha…All I knew of her was her name and face.It was more than a little frustrating.“Relax, man,” I heard Benjamin say and I let out a frustrated sigh. “I have to say I’ve never seen you like this before.”I didn’t respond but I took my best friend’s words to heart. He was right - I had barely batted an eye for a girl before. But this was different. This girl was my supposed mate - something I didn’t even want nor need.I had to find her fast and-And…And reject her.I knew that was my intention from the beginning, but of course I doubted Benjamin would know much about it. All he knew was that this gir

Alisha:“Wrap the bandages tightly like this,” the soothing voice of Simon guided me as I redid the bandages for the third time. My hands were steadier than before and I didn’t feel afraid of being reprimanded despite having messed up.I had no idea why but old man Simon made me feel more comfortable than anyone else ever had…More than Sebastian ever had.I finished the knot on the child’s arm a lot firmer than I had before, and I smiled as I heard no word of caution or reprimand.“Alright,” Simon breathed out and inspected my work briefly before gently placing the child’s hand back into the sling. He was speaking to the mother now. “Make sure you keep him from using this hand, even when he tries to play with his brother.” The mother nodded. “Okay, see you next week.”I smiled and waved at the child as he waved toothily at me with his unbroken hand.As soon as the door was shut I began to clear up the equipments used. It was already 4pm, which meant that the regular clinic hours were

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
