Alisha“No.” I replied without thinking.My refusal immediately brought a wave of upset voices as I expected. Simon and Melissa both gave me disapproving looks and the loudest of the protesters was my own mate.“What are you saying, Alisha?” Derek clasped my hand with his, sounding extremely tense. “You can’t stay here anymore.”“And it’s safer with us,” Melissa argued, although her voice was calmer. I could see the lines between her brows and how tense edge and Simon were.I couldn’t help but feel touched at their concern for me, which was clear as day. However I couldn’t bring myself to accept their offer.Finding out about Gerard and his daughter Lila, who was obsessed apparently with Derek… it was too much to bear and it just made me feel like…“What if that makes things worse?” I asked softly. “I have to put my babies first, no matter what. Right now, all they did was send some maid to spy on me. The Beta may have suspicions but he likely has no evidence. He can’t come to any con

DerekI couldn’t miss it - the presence behind those bushes. They had to be waiting for me, because I could feel their gaze on me like a brand.Of course there had to be another spy.How could I have let my guard down?!While Alisha walked back home with my mother, I grit my teeth as I silently gestured to the guard who had been standing alert at the door of the clinic.He immediately came to me in a flash, and I ordered, “Theres someone over there by the bushes. Bring them to me.” Pause. “If you’re unable to do so, then kill them.”The guard bowed and said, “Yes Alpha.”I turned away, hearing more than one set of footsteps as I walked back to the house. I was deep in thought.Gerard had to have heard that my mother and I ran over to the pack clinic to see Alisha. There was no other way to explain how he would have the presence of mind to put another spy in wait for me.Damn it.I clenched and unclenched my hands, trying to stay calm even though thee was a lot at stake.How had I let

AlishaI opened my eyes to the sound of birds chirping at my window.This time, instead of the anxiousness I felt at staying in Derek’s home like last time, there was nothing but leave and feeling protected from the ills of the outside.I closed my eyes again, relishing in the soft sheets and the sunlight streaming into the room through the window.This was going to be a beautiful day. It was a new start for me, and for Derek. And I felt blessed to have come this far.Fully awake now, I sat up slowly, suddenly aware of an aroma in the air. I sniffed, turning my head only to meet the eyes of Derek who was seated in an armchair.“Good morning,” i softly said.Then I noticed the tray of food beside him. That had to be where the aroma was coming from, i deduced, standing up slowly. The weight of my pregnant belly had changed my center of gravity ever so slightly that getting out of bed was getting difficult.Regardless the food was calling out to me with its aroma, and I was salivating at

Alisha:I had never been more nervous for anything in my life.The maid that Derek had assigned to bathe and dress me was a young girl, who chattered endlessly about her family, especially her brother who was a low-ranking warrior in the Pack.I listened, using her excited words as a way to distract myself from the anxiousness building up within me that my stomach felt heavy with unease.Melissa was there in the bedroom looking through various clothes when I stepped out of the bathroom wearing a fluffy white robe. She looked just as tense, is not more, than I felt.“Alisha, dear,” she smiled at me. “I brought over some really nice clothes. Why don’t you try them on and see which you prefer?”I looked at the expensive silks and satins in her arms. They were a lot more than I had ever expected to wear.“I don’t know if I’ll be able to pull of off,” i nervously stated, in an attempt to calm the air. “They look so… luxurious.”“They’re yours, dear. Don’t be silly,” Melissa chided me. “I h

Alisha:His barrage of questions and statements caused an uproar around us. I spotted Gerard’s reddened face as I looked around me. He was definitely furious, positively seething.“Alpha Derek,” another Elder’s voice rang clear like the crack of a whip, and silenced the others. He sounded angry. “I will implore you to not disparage the reputation of the Beta. He is not only a respected member of the pack, but a man with close ties to your late father. He would never act in such a way if he wasn’t duly concerned.”I gaped at the Elders that murmured in agreement to the statement.Did they not see it? Gerard’s malicious intent practically oozed from every pore of his!I pursed my lips and looked to the ground. I could hardly contain the anger that I felt.Was this all that Derek had to go through? The Elders clearly had more respect for Gerard than Derek. That was simply not done!I longed to come to hoss étende, to expose Gerard in front of everyone, but I knew that I myself would only

Lila:“That’s none of your business,” i shot back at Derek’s friend. I had hoped no one would come in time to see me confront this bitch. But my plans were foiled once again.I felt like screaming when Benjamin scoffed loudly at me, giving me a scornful look that seemed to say ‘You’re not even worth my time’.“Whether or not your words are none of my business remains to be said. But while I’m at it, for your sake and your father’s sake,” the flash of anger in his eyes was intimidating. “Don’t ever come near Alisha again. She’s the future Luna of this Pack, whether you like it or not.”I let out a growl and stepped forward, only to find a guard quickly move to my side, placing his hand around my arm.“Make sure she gets home safely,” Benjamin ordered the guard, who nodded and began to pull me away.I tried to struggle, whipping around to inflict an injury in the guard, and make him somehow loosen his grip. But he only held on tighter and more firmly.“Let me go!” I screamed at him, cas

Derek:After Alisha left, Gerard bowed shortly after and took his leave. Clearly he was upset, and I relished in his anger. It wasn’t everyday that I got one over the damned man.Regardless I kept a stoic face that didn’t betray my emotions and the meeting continued, with one of the Elders asking me, “What news have you heard of the Silver Moon Pack? There are rumors of their Alpha ordering them to attack our warriors.”I nodded grimly. The reports I had received from various warriors and patrol guards said similar things. Sebastian was acting odd. And his warriors were too as well.“I have not been able to pinpoint what could be causing this erratic behavior from the Silver Moon Pack,” I explained to the Elders.“Could it be that there’s an attack on our pack being planned?” Another of the Elders asked, causing a round of murmuring between the rest of the Elders. I kept my cool, knowing that the Elders were all worrying about another war.“I dont think it’s yet time to worry about th

Alisha:I was stunned to hear all those words from both Derek and Benjamin. Shivers wracked my body; I had not known I was in so much danger from that girl before, and now it was just dawning on me how lucky I had been that Benjamin arrived when he did.After Benjamin exchanged some more words and left, I was still silent. Only when Derek squeezed my hand did I look up at him. He had concern on his features, written plainly for me to see.“Alisha, what are you thinking of?” He asked me gently. “I hope our talk before didn’t scare you so much.”I smiled wanly at him, feeling my head swim with thoughts.“Not really,” I whispered to him. “I suppose I’m just a little bit thankful. If your friend hadn’t come then…”“Don’t think about such things, love,” he chastised me. “You shouldn’t stress yourself out. Leave everything to me. And never leave the house without your guards. Not even for a moment. Until I can take care of Gerard and Lila for good. Not just them too, they also have supporte

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
