LilaUgh!I stomped back to my home, feeling anger and frustration.Why was he behaving this way towards me?! Me, who loved him like no one else ever could?!I walked on, ignoring all the foolish people that stared as me as I moved past them. They meant nothing to me.Only Derek, the Ampha, could soothe my pains!But he-“…I would never want someone like you…” he had said so coldly to me only a few minutes ago.Damn him!My mind replayed all the numerous ways I had tried to get closer to him. We used to be so close. I had known that I wanted him a long time ago, since we had been young children. But he had always pushed me away every time I mentioned marriage. So I pretended to be a friend to him.And when I had my chance… that summer night of my 16th birthday…We spent our first night together then.Since then things began to go smoothly. Our relationship progressed. Even if Derek always said that it was just sex I had faith that my 18th birthday would reveal to him that I wasn’t jus

Alisha:It was already afternoon and I couldn’t help but let out a yawn. Immediately afterwards I reached for the pitcher of water - that Simon had kept on my desk for when I was thirsty. I was really getting spoiled by him. Maybe this had to do with the fact that he didn’t have a child of his own, but it was from him I felt the support and love of a father.“Hey Alisha,” I looked up as I saw Eric, one of the warriors who had become a regular in the pack clinic by now, walk in. A smile came to my face unwittingly. He was limping, again.“What have you done this time?“ I asked him while immediately turning on the swivel chair to search for his files through the cabinets. Eric had definitely not been taking it easy for someone who was meant to be recuperating. It had only been a few weeks since he landed in the pack clinic among the other warriors who had been attacked by the Silver Claw Pack.Immediately I spoke, he hung his head, looking abashed.“I’m sorry…” he trailed off, before a

DerekShe was thinking about the kiss, I just knew it.It was the look in those eyes of hers, like she was faraway.I wanted to kiss her again, simply for how she looked.But I held myself back, trying to calm down with the thought that this time she may really stay angry at me.“Uh… y-yeah,” she let out in a breathless sigh. “It’s fine… the flowers, I mean.”My lips quirked you into a smirk.“Of course, Alisha. What else did you think I was talking about?“ i asked her knowing she would blush and stammer.And just like I expected, she did so, looking like she wanted to run and hide from sheer embarrassment.The warm feeling in my chest only grew.Was this what love was like, i wondered idly.I had never felt this way before concerning anyone - the need to protect and keep her. Even seeing her laugh with another, no matter how platonic of a relationship she shared with him, was enough to simply drive me insane.There were a lot of changes that had occurred within me now that I had fina

AlishaThough I had my doubt, I had been convinced by Simon to go for the date. In fact he had all but strong armed me into it, guilting me by asking, “What would Derek think when he waits for you and you don’t show?”He had given me that grave look of disappointment when I tried and failed to explain that Derek might not have really cared if I didn’t go for the date. It was hard to say no to Simon, just like it was hard to say not to Melissa and Derek.So here I was, stood in front of him at the forger of the large mansion called his home, dressed as nicely as I could manage with this big belly of mine. And trying so hard to not give in to the bone deep tiredness i felt.“You look amazing, darling,” he said to me and made heat rush to my face, just like always. I was still very unused to receiving compliments from people, much less him.“It’s nothing,” i managed to mumble before clearing my throat. “You look good too.”As he always did, i reckoned. With his dark shirt and jeans that

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

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
