Alisha:I didn’t stop him this time when he leaned in and kissed me without warning.Everything seemed so perfect and I couldn’t imagine not having this moment with him.Whatever Sebastian had been to me, it was a pathway that led me to my true mate and happiness, to Derek.I laid my head on his shoulder after the kiss, feeling lighthearted, and hummed. There was a pleasant warmth within me as I heard the calm heartbeat of his.“You must be tired,” he enthused, and I felt his hand stroke my head gently. It elicited tingles running down my spine and I relaxed even more, closing my eyes.“Just a little,” I said.“Don’t worry, you can rest for a little bit. You’re carrying our child, after all.”“Children. They are two,” I corrected him. His hands stilled on my head and I frowned, my eyes still shut.“Ah…” he sounded off but I didn’t have the presence of mind to pinpoint what he meant by that. “I see.”Then he resumed his petting of my head and I shivered at the nice feeling. It was so e

Derek:Shit.This was the worst time for Alisha to be near here right now. I turned and could see her floundering, looking caught.“Uh… well-“ she stammered.What do I do?“Alisha, dear,” i heard my mother and saw her walking up behind Alisha.Gerard noticed her as well and I could hear him shift beside me.“Melissa- i mean…” Alisha looked uncomfortable, but relaxed visibly when my mother put an arm on her shoulder.“I’m sorry for stressing you out this morning to come over quickly. I know you have to go to work,” my mother emphasized, giving me a look. And I caught on.“How did the checkup go?” I asked, and Alisha turned to look at me with bewildered eyes. “Well?” I asked her seemingly impatient. “Derek, don’t be rude,” my mother cautioned me, playing along. “She said I was getting better. So don’t be up in arms over it. I’m only grateful she could come over on such short notice to check on me this morning.”It was then I saw Alisha take the hint and she nodded awkwardly.“Right,” s

SebastianWas I dreaming or just fucking cursed?I didn’t know, but in this sea of pleasure there was only one thing that could cure me.“Sebastian,” Alisha moaned underneath me, as I drove my hips to meet hers over and over and over again.Not enough.It wasn’t enough.I growled, pinning her to the bed with one arm while I continued to pound into that warm heat, hearing cries of pain mixed with pleasure. I didn’t care. All I chased was my own completion.It wasn’t easy to reach, but I kept the vision of Alisha in my head while the girl underneath my grip suffered.“Please! Alpha, please..! Stop it!” She cried.The well of pleasure within me still wasn’t enough.I let out a snarl and dug my claws into her, hearing her wail loudly as I sank myself deeply into her, calling out Alisha’s name.Finally!I released the girl after riding out the high, breathing heavily as I stood.The sheen of sweat on my brow was wiped with a towel, and only then did I turn to look at the girl on my bed.Sh

AlishaI worked absentmindedly, waving goodbye to the last patient to leave my desk. And with a sigh, i began to note down the date of the next appointment on the patient’s folder. Even as I did, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.I had never been on a date before last night. When I had been with Sebastian… i had not even been granted the mercy of being recognized as his mate. So it was a new thing to me to be courted, or rather to go on a date and slowly build a relationship. That had been Simon’s advise to me last night, as he implored me to meet with Derek.I usually didn’t want to raise my expectations but… i couldn’t help thinking about how perfect last night was.Dining in the courtyard, under the stars… and then being able to be embraced by him.Even though I didn’t want to give in to Derek due to our past issues, it was becoming harder and harder to stay aloof.He was winning and I liked that he was.“You’ve had a smile on your face since morning, Alisha,” i looked up as I he

DerekI was just entering my home from inspecting the borders when I saw my mother storming down the steps.I gaped at her; she looked furious, more so than I had ever seen her in my life.“Mother,” i stopped her from leaving. “What happened?”“What do you think happened, Derek? It’s Gerard! Again! And his damned spies!” She looked furious. “Simon sent me a letter.” She handed it to me.I read through the letter quickly and immediately the words stood out to me.‘A maid from the Beta’s home came here asking Alisha questions. I managed to send her away but she might raise suspicions.’Alisha.I growled in response, turning right around and walking out of the house. I could hear my mother following me as we went right to the pack clinic.My urge to tear out Gerard’s throat and get him out of the way once and for all rose within me.He dared to spy on Alisha?!What nerve!We entered the pack clinic, hearing my mother call out to Doctor Simon.As soon as I spotted him leaving the office i

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

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
