DerekFuck, was a word that couldn’t even describe how I was feeling.I entered my home and ignored the guards bowing down at me. With long quick strides I made my way to my study, trying to keep a semblance of calm against the raging inferno I felt.She was here.Alisha had been in this pack all this while…The first thing that I did as soon as I entered the study and shut the door behind me was to go over to the bar, grab the whiskey bottle and take a big gulp straight from it. The alcohol burned going down but it paled still in comparison to the burning feeling in my chest.The mate bond that had been sleeping since I woke up that morning after the Silver Wolf Pack party, was alive and active.There were so many questions I wish I could have asked her in that clinic, but I had no reason to rush. Thinking about our encounter gave me the feeling that she was skittish, but for what reason?I don’t know how long that I had spent sitting there and taking swigs from the bottle of whiskey

AlishaI wasn’t in the mood to style my hair today so I put it up into a ponytail, sighing tiredly. My throat was raw from all the retching up spot in the morning and by the time I came down to eat breakfast, I felt the inside of it itch. The first thing that I did once ingot to the table was to drink the enticing glass of water that was at the table.“Good morning,” I heard Simon greet me with amusement. “You must be thirsty.”I nodded, clearing my throat before bashfully replying with, “Good morning Simon.”“How are you feeling?” There was concern as he gestured to the chair and had me sit down, before he sat across me. He looked more ready to work than I did, dressed as usual in his button down dress shirt and black slacks.“I’m okay, Simon… thank you.”We started to eat and I picked slowly at the food in front of me. There was a gorgeous spread of porridge oats, fruits and sausage and eggs. I ate my fill and enjoyed every bite.As the breakfast winded down I heard him say to me, “

DerekDays after my encounter with Alisha at the pack clinic, I was seated in my study looking over the report that one of the guards had sent in from the border when there was a knock on the door. Before I even knew what was happening, the door opened and a sweaty guard rushed in. He was panting heavily and I regarded him with curiosity.“Alpha, there’s been an issue at our borders,” the guard breathlessly reported.I stood, report promptly forgotten.“What happened?” The guard looked hesitant and my concern only grew. It had to be something serious if he was looking this bewildered. “Report,” I growled.The guard bowed and began to speak. I listened intently.“Alpha, there was a distress signal at the border. The last patrol team at the western border were under attack.”“Rogues?”The man shook his head.“Not sure, Alpha. But they were clearly targeted for some reason.”I had an idea who it was that was behind the attack.“The Silver Moon Pack…” I snarled, clenching my hands into f

Alisha It was a madhouse, for the first time since I had come here.“Bring more bandages and sterilize the other equipment. I need the sutures ready,” Simon was instructing me and I moved as quickly as I could, weaving through be a occupied by warriors in various states of injury.It was only an hour ago that I was contemplating going inside for a quick nap before dinner and then, all at once, we heard screams of ‘Doctor!’ and ‘We need help!’ among other things. I had been shocked to find the men and women who claimed to be from the patrol team injured.This was the first big test as Simon’s apprentice that I had ever faced and I was so far, doing okay at it.As I was tending to a warrior, applying ointment on the already sterile dressing, I heard footsteps coming from the front of e clinic.I turned my head slightly, a little curious as to who it was.It was the voice of the same guard who had been screaming for help that now spoke to Simon.“Is everything alright, Doctor?”The guard

AlishaI took in a deep breath. Was I really about to do this? Was I really about to tell Simon about my connections with Derek? I had no choice in the matter though. I couldn’t figure out what to do by myself.I opened my mouth, trying to find the right words as I stuttered out, “It’s something I should have told you a long time ago. About the father of my child…” He displayed no emotion as he listened to me. “I know it’s kind of hard to believe but the father of my chld… It… it’s Derek.”“What?” he sounded so shocked, that he stod up from his chair. “You cannot simply be serious… Alpha Derek? You are sure?”I nodded, feeling tears prick my eyes. Quickly I raised my hand up to rub at my eyes, I did not want those tears to fall. I was done crying about my pitiful situation.Simon let out a large breath and i heard him tutting repeatedly “I should have known. I suspected something was up when he came in the other day…”“I didn’t even know he was the Alpha then… I was scared when I saw

DerekI nearly reached for the bottle of whiskey once I entered my study but managed to hold myself back. I couldn’t be like him.I had to face the facts, I thought with a heavy sigh. I sat down at my couch and began to think, clasping my hands in front of me.Seeing her again was like having myself exposed for the world to see. Benjamin must have noticed it and didn’t press anymore than I expected him to. I was certain that even the pack doctor, Doctor Simon, would have noticed it. He was an old man but surely couldn’t be blind to their sort of connection I had with Alisha.She had been skittish and afraid. Just the mere touch of my hand as I tried to help her had made her act like she had an electric shock pass through her. How was I going to be able to reject her when she couldn’t even face me?“Oh goddess, what kind of situation have you put me into?” I murmured, raising my hand to massage my temples. A headache had begun to bloom out of nowhere.I heard the door open.“What’s th

AlishaI woke up earlier this time than usual and began the task of organizing myself for the day. Bringing out a nice blue dress that matched my eyes, I entered the bathroom to shower quickly. The warm water did something nice to calm my body and soothe my muscles. For some reason it became extremely difficult for me to maintain a sleeping position. Maybe I could ask Simon what to do about it?My hand brushed my stomach a couple of times as I washed myself, and I was still as stunned to feel the strangely hard lump on my belly. It was like a small plum shaped thing, growing.I smiled as I finished dressing up and dried my hair with the soft towel. My baby was growing inside of me, and I couldn’t be happier to feel it.Oh goddess, I prayed every morning as I usually did. Let my day be blessed. And protect my unborn child.My task of seeing to the warriors awaited, and I greeted Simon with a smile. He responded my patting me on the back and ruffling my hair. A giggle left my lips as I

AlishaCome on mind! Work fast!“I… I’m under a lot of stress recently,” I breathed out, giving Simon a pleading, wide-eyed look.I couldn’t trust the woman just yet. She may be Derek’s mother but that didn’t mean I could tell her about my pregnancy yet…To my relief, he understood and nodded minutely. Although he didn’t look too happy about it…“Alright then,” Melissa breathed. “I can understand that. Simon mentioned you have being a great help to him for the last month.”I nodded, feeling warmth bloom as the woman gave me a gentle smile. She looked just as caring as Simon…“But I was hoping to get some time to know you. And Derek, you know… he is a busy man but I’m sure he can take some time out to talk with you as well. He is your mate, after all,” she stated.I doubted Derek felt the same way, I wanted to say, but instead kept my mouth shut and nodded. I had to find a way to end this conversation.But she wasn’t finished.“So, I was hoping dear, that you would come to our home. Ma

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
