Alpha Syrill's POVThe next few days are filled with tense preparations as we continue to plan and strategize. We gather as much information as we can about the old woman and her abilities, hoping to find a weakness we can exploit.Beta Kryl returns from his trip, bringing with him new reinforcements from neighboring packs. We are stronger now, but still, the thought of Ansin out there, in the hands of the old woman, weighs heavily on us all.One night, as I sit alone in my office, pouring over maps and notes, I feel a sudden presence behind me. I turn to see Angela standing there, her eyes red from crying."What's wrong?" I ask, standing up and walking over to her."I can't help but feel like this is my fault," she says, her voice shaking. "If I hadn't gone into labor early, if we had just stayed at home, none of this would have happened.""It's not your fault," I assure her, taking her hand. "We can't control everything that happens in life. But what we can do is work together to ma
Angela's POVAs I sleep soundly next to Alpha Syrill, a loud and heavy sound wakes me up. It sounds like something is breaking the ground open, and I can feel the vibrations even from the bed. I sit up quickly, my heart racing with fear."What was that?" I ask Alpha Syrill, who has also woken up already."I'm not sure," he says, his voice serious. "But I'm going to find out."He hops out of bed and heads outside, his wolf senses fully alert now. I follow him, grabbing a robe to cover myself up. As we step outside, I can see that other members of the pack have also been awoken by the noise and are coming out of their room."What's happening?" I ask, looking around in confusion."That's what we need to find out now." Alpha Syrill says, scanning the area for any signs of danger.I feel a sense of unease as we walk towards the source of the noise. I can see that Alpha Syrill is tense and alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threat.As we approach the edge of the gat
Angela's POV"Angela…"At first, it was like a cool breeze blowing across my skin, circulating the entire place to its peak. That feeling is what I get sometimes- most of the times rather, but-"Angela!" That blasting tone of my step mother came shattering on my head, resting in my brain a piercing pain that left my eyes squeezing shut. Sitting beside my small reading table, I jerk up, shifting my chair aside. My heart beat increases drastically as I stand beside my door now; beads of sweat rolling down the sides of my face. And before I could blink like once, or twice, the door burst open, slamming me against the wall. The smell of gore floods my nose immediately."You idiot of a step daughter! What the fucking hell are you still doing here knowing that you're supposed to be downstairs, cleaning the compound at this time?!" She empties a bucket of chilled water on me, and then throws the bucket beside her, shattering it into a million pieces.Her fists roll into two hefty balls, rea
Syrill's POVSitting all alone in my bedroom, by the window, too many thoughts flood my head at the same time, letting me not even a second to myself as they come. The pack house is as quiet as a graveyard this morning, as I stare at my drawing board with a portrait of my mate lying helplessly on a piece of drawing sheet, not minding if I was right with my drawings."This loneliness is killing me slowly now than ever before. I feel the need of having my mate very close to me now than I've ever wanted." I apply some pressure on my lower lip, biting it gently as I suck the desire into my mouth, running my index finger along the paintings. "I truly need to find her as quickly as possible." I muttered under my breath.All of a sudden, a quick plaster of a hand come upon me and I slowly turn to see who it is. "Hey man! Have you forgotten you're now the new alpha of this our great pack?" That question pierce me, leaving me wanting to ask some questions. But what would be the need to do so
Angela's POVWhy would I want to have anything to do with such a ruthless man as my mate? I can't accept such! He's a monster who doesn't seem to have any form of compassion for anyone. Who doesn't know Alpha Syrill, one of the most brutal and ruthless alphas of the most dreaded pack around..? Hell no! And how the hell did he get to notice me? Lillo gave me a new face to cover up my badly injured face with. Oh, now I know… it's the mate bond.. He perceived my scent.. now I understand better…Reminiscing on my experience, standing right behind a tree in the woods, a voice calls out to me and I gasp."Mom..?"The sound of that name is something I wouldn't want to ever hear in my head, but what can I do? I still love mom, but this attitude of hers always straining the life out of me, always gives me goosebumps all over. I pick up the polythene bag I placed on top of the dead leaves on the ground, and then become so busy twisting it around my fingers as I hurriedly return back home. We
Angela's POVRunning into my room, I slam the door shut behind me, panting so heavily as I feel a little or no life left in me anymore. Slumping to the ground in-between my bed and my study table, I rest my back on my wardrobe, staring at my messy room. Obviously, mom was here again. I furrow my brows, biting my lip, as I remember how she usually does whenever I'm not home. And after a long hours of cleaning my room and the entire house before leaving for my usual hustle, I'll still return back to a messy environment. I feel so exhausted and disoriented as I am now. The streams of tears flowing down my cheeks, interpret the anguish in my heart. I throw my eyes to the ground, wondering when all these would end. The face of Alpha Syrill came flooding my head, reminding me of the glances I took at him, flashing at different points. I honestly can't deny the fact that he is a handsome guy, and every woman, I guess, would die to have him right in-between her thighs, sucking her like I
Alpha Syrill's povThe smell of her hair as she came closer to me, felt like the dew from the fresh morning weather, which leaves you hunting for more. And the rate of her heart beat as it sounded in my head, left me with no other option but to feel the heavy weight of a burden she's carrying. And for how long now? Is what I'd like to know, so I can help my mate out with the best kind of life she could ever get. I just can't let her suffer when she's got me, Syrill, the new Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, as her mate. Never!I planned on asking to know her name, and probably find out more about her, so we could get to know each other better, and get along well.. but she wouldn't let me. Could it be that she's just being stubborn, or is she just trying to protect herself? But from what exactly? I don't bite, you know…Taking a quick glance at Rowan as I turned, the blazing fire shooting from his eyes was nothing short of destruction. 'You don't have to let Rowan's issues distract you,
Angela's POVStanding at the gate of Lillo's compound, everything about her father rush into my head. "Should I go in, or should I just go back home instead?" Confusion washed me down as I glance around the compound filled with lots of trees springing out their fruits, with that lovely bungalow sitting in the middle of the compound. I don't like coming to this compound, for it reminds me of so many things that I wouldn't want to remember, but for my friend, Lillo, I just can not restrain myself from coming here just like that. Lillo has been an exceptional and accommodating confidant to me since our childhood days, and she has been of great benefit to me since then. And even that very day my dad was hospitalized, Lillo came around, and stood by me all through those trying moments, abandoning most classes of her studies, just to keep me warm and assured that all would be okay again. Going to school was the last thing I could ever think of at that time. The heart-wrenching death of

Angela's POVI sit in my room, looking at my three children as they play on the floor. They are so innocent and carefree, and I can't help but feel a wave of fear wash over me. What if something decided to happen to them? What if they were hurt or taken away from me?I know that as a mother, I will always worry about their safety. But with the recent events in our pack, my fears have only intensified to a greater level of concern now. The thought of losing any one of them is just so unbearable to my heart.I let out a deep sigh and run my fingers through my hair. "Please, let them be safe," I whisper to myself."Mommy, what's wrong?" my son, Adren asks, looking up at me with big, curious eyes.I put on a smile, not wanting to disturb him with my mood. "Nothing, sweetie. Mommy's just thinking about something very important."My son crawls over to me and pulls on my pants leg. "Can we play with you, Mommy?"I smile down at him, feeling grateful for their presence. "Of course, my love. L
Syrill's POVBeta Kryl and Lillo arrive at our pack house, and I can tell from their expressions that they have something important to discuss. I invite them into my office, and after some pleasantries, Beta Kryl begins to speak."Alpha Syrill, we want to let you know that Lillo and I will be going on a trip together for the next two weeks," he says, looking at me with a serious expression."A trip? Is everything alright?" I ask, concerned."Yes, everything is fine. We just want to take some time away to rekindle our love for each other and focus on our relationship," Lillo chimes in.I nod, understanding. "Of course, take all the time you need. Do you have someone to take care of your duties while you're away, Beta Kryl?""Yes, Alpha. We've made arrangements for everything," he assures me.Angela walks into the room, having heard the conversation. "Oh, I'm going to miss you both so much," she says, giving them both a hug."We'll miss you too, my Luna," Lillo says, smiling at her.Bet
Angela's POVLife has never been busier since the birth of our twins. Syrill has been so consumed with pack affairs that he hasn't been able to help much with the babies.I understand that this is supposed to be the job of our maids, but I also love to make sure my family is watched under my care. Maids can be somehow careless sometimes, especially when the whole chores in the house are left under their attendance. They can attend to those chores, while I attend to my babies. Though they help whenever I call for their assistance."Syrill, please I need your help," I plead with him as he walks into the room, after a long day of pack meetings."I'm sorry, Angela. The pack needs me," he says, with a tinge of frustration in his voice."I know the pack needs you, but I need you too. Our children need you.." I reply, my voice tinged with exhaustion."I'm doing everything I can," he says, his tone becoming more defensive."It doesn't feel like enough," I say, tears starting to prick at my ey
Syrill's POVI sit on the couch, watching my beautiful mate and our son, Adren, cuddle up together while they watch the cool breeze blowing outside the window. It is a moment like these that reminds me of how blessed I am to have them in my life. They are my greatest gift from the moon goddess.All of a suddenly, Angela's peaceful expression turns to a grimace of pain, and her screams fill the room. I jump up, alarmed, and rush to her side."Angela, what's wrong?" I ask urgently, placing my hand on her belly."My water just broke, Alpha." she gasps out between breaths. "It's time."I feel a sense of panic and excitement mix together in my chest. This is it, the moment we've been waiting for. I scoop her up in my arms and quickly make my way to the car. Looking back at me, I see little Adren running after us as I take quick steps out of the room.Getting to the car, we drive to the hospital, I can feel Angela's grip on my hand tightening with every contraction. I try to keep her calm a
Angela's POVI pick up my phone, seeing Nikki's name flashing on the screen. "Hey, Nikki. What's going on?" I ask, wondering why she's calling me.But as soon as she starts talking, I can hear the tears in her voice. "Angela, I need to talk to you. I need to apologize for everything I've done to you in the past. I know I hurt you so badly, and I'm so sorry."I'm taken aback by her words, not sure how to respond. "Nikki, it's okay. I've forgiven you already," I say, trying to comfort her.But Nikki continues to cry, her words coming out in between sobs. "No, it's not okay. I was so jealous of you, and I took it out on you. I can't believe how blind I was. And now Marcus has betrayed me, and I have no one to turn to.""Wait, what do you mean?" I say to her, interrupting her from continuing."He's been having an affair.. with his secretary." She says, her voice barely above a whisper.My heart sinks at her words. I never would have thought that Marcus, who always seemed so devoted to Nik
Syrill's POVAs I walked down the hallway towards my bedroom, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that Beta Kryl and Lillo had gone back to their home. Their tension was palpable, and I hoped they could work through whatever issues they were facing.As I neared my room, I saw the young human girl I had promised to help standing in front of my door, holding her baby in her arms."Alpha Syrill," she said, looking up at me with wide eyes. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I didn't know who else to turn to."I approached her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, what's wrong?"She looked down at her baby, tears brimming in her eyes. "I...I don't know how to take care of him. I don't have any money or resources. I'm afraid I'm not a good mother."My heart broke for her and the baby. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out. Come with me."I led her to a nearby guest room, where we could talk more privately. "First of all, you are a good mother. You're doing the best you can for
Lillo's POVI hear the knock on the door and feel a surge of reluctance, but I still get up to answer it. Kryl and Rowan were here! I open the door with a wide grin on my face."Hey, guys! Come on in," I greet them cheerfully, stepping back to let them into my home.As they walk in, I notice Kryl's expression change. His eyes narrow as he looks past me to the living room. My heart sinks as his eyes meet his."Lillo, who is he?" Kryl asks, his voice tight.I hesitate, not sure how to answer. "Uh, just a friend," I say, hoping to diffuse the situation.But Kryl doesn't look convinced. "A friend?" he repeats, his tone becoming more aggressive.Rowan steps in, trying to ease the tension. "Hey, man, let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe we should sit down and talk about this."Kryl nods, but I can tell he's still upset. I lead them to the living room, trying to think of what to say next.As we all sit down, Kryl turns to me. "Lillo, we've been mates for a while now. Why would you do this to
