TINAI thought we were going to argue, and my father would go home to my mother, and I would spend many years hating him for what he did. I didn’t know there was going to be a battle and I didn’t know it was going to end with him dying.I watched in horror as my father’s most trusted warriors attacked when they saw their alpha on the ground. When the whole thing started it looked like they had the upper hand until Jake showed up out of nowhere with so many warriors and they pounced on my father’s warriors.They took them down quickly killing them and ripping them to shreds. I had never seen so much blood before in my life and I had never seen a battle. It was gruesome and I feared for my life. I had so much fear that it rendered me paralyzed as I stood there watching.When the Blood Moon warriors were done with my father’s warriors they stood there watching as Aiden tore my father apart. “Should we stop him?” Jake asked his alpha Zion and I hoped he would say yes for my sake, but he s
AIDENI almost missed my chance of killing Harold because of my damn wolf. When our mate yelled for us to stop, Midnight froze and wouldn’t go through with killing him in front of our mate. He didn’t want our mate hating us and he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. He felt her pain making me feel it too. But I wasn’t about to pass on a chance to rid our kind of a monster like Harold.So, while he was distracted and being all soft, I took back control and shifted into my human form. I looked at that woman, I wanted her to see what I was going to do to her father. I wanted her to feel what I felt when I saw my parents slaughtered like that by her father. I wanted her to not only understand my pain but to feel it too the same way I did ten years ago.I saw hope in her eyes, and I knew it was time. I extracted my claws and before Midnight new it, I had his throat in my hand. “You fool!” Midnight screamed at me and
TINAI couldn’t believe what I was hearing, why would he give me a headless body when he only ripped his throat out. “Don’t think about it Tina.” My wolf said but I couldn’t stop myself. What did he do to his head? “You must be wondering what I did to his head, well, you will see when you take his body home.” I didn’t understand, what did he mean by that?“Are you going to take it home or should i? I would like to see your mother again too. I don’t think she liked me very much when we met. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. Maybe I should take it myself and see if things would be different between us this time.” What was he implying? My eyes widened when I figured it out.He wanted to kill her too. “What was it your father said before killing my father? Mmm…I think he said something like, I am sending you to your mate in the afterlife, it would be a great reunion. Gr
TINAI stood there not knowing whether I should go find Jake and ask for a car then go home. Or if I should wait till morning then go. But I knew my mother already felt that something was wrong with her mate, and I did not want to make her suffer all through the night.I slowly walked to the garage feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Harold was a monster to many people, and I didn’t know it. But he was the best father I could have ever asked for. To me, he was no monster, he was my hero. He hid his dark side well and made sure I never found out and that I was protected from it all.I was angry with him, but I never wanted him dead. He ruined my life, yes, but I still wanted him there to one day be able to hold my pups. But that was never going to happen now, my mate killed him. I hoped now that my father was dead, Aiden was going to change and give me a chance.“Why are you standing there looking lost for?” I jumped in fright, I didn’t know that I had stopped walking, my mind w
ZIONAiden thought his mate was acting naïve, but she wasn’t. The woman knew nothing of her father’s evil deeds and even disowned him when she found out. I wasn’t sure how she found out, but she did, and she completely changed her tune. She tried to show my brother that she was with him and that she believed him.But my brother didn’t see that, all he saw was the daughter of the man who killed his parents. She was his mate, but I felt like she didn’t deserve the mistreatment. Especially now that he killed her father and gotten his revenge. But knowing Aiden, he was never going to see her as anything other than the daughter of a murderer.I drove her home with her father’s body, I warned her not to look at the gate, but she didn’t listen. She saw her father’s head on that spoke, and I think something in her broke. Her cries hurt me. she would not stop crying to a point that I could not take it anymore and went to comfort her. When I was wiping her tears, I saw how beautiful her eyes lo
ZIONTina shook her head taking her hands in hers giving them a little squeeze. “Mom, mom please, if you look for him then it won’t end. He might end up killing you too and I cannot lose both my parents. I need you mom.” Her mother cried even more. She looked like she could not breathe the way she was crying and choking at the same time.The gentleman in me could not just stand there and watch. The woman was falling out of her daughter’s arms and losing strength. She was trying with everything in her to help but she was too heavy for her. The warriors just stood there watching as well.I think they were in shock, as they were not too far and have definitely heard the news of their alpha’s death. I went and helped Tina carry her mother into the house. They sat together on the couch crying in each other’s arms. I did not like the sight of it. Watching her cry like that broke my heart.I went and stood by the window looking out. “What am I going to do without your father, what will this
AIDENI slept like a baby last night to a point that I even woke up at noon. I even dreamt of my parents, for the first time since they were killed. But in the dream I was still ten years old, and they looked happy. I was glad because to me, it meant they could finally rest in peace and that they were happy and proud of what I had done.I felt at peace when I woke up, like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It felt good, I have never felt like that in my adult life. But there was still work to be done. I showered and just as I sat down for breakfast, I was told the old man from the crescent moon pack was at the gate.I told the warriors to let him in and I walked out to receive him. His car stopped on the driveway in front of the packhouse. The old man did not wait for his warriors to open the door for him. He got out and when he saw me. a big smile broke from his lips.He came and gave me a hug patting me on the back like a proud father would do to his son. I must admit,
ZIONTina’s mother fought with me after hearing what happened. He came out and cursed me to hell. Telling me that how much of a coward my brother was and that her daughter was not going to go back with me. of course, I ignored her. She was angry and needed someone to blame. Unfortunately for me, I was there, and Aiden was not.I slept in the car and this morning. I took care of the pack and addressed it’s members and told them that my brother the beta was going to come around and put things in order. I put their beta in charge so long and warned them not to try anything as they were practically rogues and could only be saved by us.When I was done, I went looking for Tina. I wanted to be sure she wanted to stay behind. Because after I spoke to the pack members, I released them to go and bury their alpha. The funeral was quick, and I went to ask if Tina was staying. I didn’t want to leave her behind. I was selfish and wanted her to come back with me.Knowing very well that Aiden was st
ZIONWe stood there glaring at each other then she turned and walked away. I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “You are letting her go, just like that? wow!” I didn’t know when Brook got there or how much she heard. But when I turned to look at her and explain. She was already closing the door to her car.I got into mine then sped to the gate and blocked her way. I couldn’t let her go without explaining myself. I have already disappointed her enough and I couldn’t afford to disappoint her again. She hasn’t even officially told me about her pregnancy yet and I didn’t want to miss the chance to be there for her.She got out of the car looking pissed, I regretted making her angry, but I was not about to let her go without explaining to her what happened. I needed her to hear me out and understand. I didn’t want her to have the wrong idea about that woman and I. If I let her leave right now, then that was exactly what was going to happened.“Move out of my way Zion.” She was
ZIONI have been working like a dog the past week. I asked to be released from the hospital because I couldn’t do some of the things while laying on the hospital bed. I needed to go to the Blood Moon pack so the builders could come and assess the situation before sending be quotes for everything.When I got to the Blood Moon pack, or shall I say, what used to be my home. My heart broke. The damage was greater than I anticipated. I thought only a few houses, the packhouse and hospital burnt. But I was wrong, the fire had no mercy, it destroyed almost everything. My home was now nothing, but ruins and I did that.Sitting there waiting for those people I tried to think of a reason why I was so blinded and stupid. Aiden was never blind when it came to her, he saw her for who she really was and kept his distance. I, on the other hand, thought he was being cruel, and I felt sorry for her.I don’t know when I started developing feelings for her and wanting to protect her. I got injured and a
ZIONIt broke my heart that my brother didn’t even come into my ward to see me. I know I have wronged him, in so many ways and I regretted everything I did to him. I wanted to apologize to him, I wanted to tell him that I was wrong. But I guess he was so angry that he didn’t even want to talk to me. it hurt.Not more than my mate cringing and standing at a distant from me as if I was a monster. I wanted to talk to her too. To tell her that I heard what she said, I wanted to confirm that she was pregnant, but she too didn’t come into my ward after the doctor removed the tubes.My heart broke, I have been a fool who thought he was in love and look where that got me. I almost died protecting her and where was she now? Thinking about it made me angry, not at anyone but myself. I let this happen to me all in the name of love.The door opened and I opened my eyes thinking it was Brook. Only to find the doctor. “I am sorry to wake you alpha, I am only here to check on you.” I just nodded and
BROOKI have been by his side for over a week now. Talking to him and telling him about my pregnancy and how I didn’t want him to die. I was losing hope of him ever waking up and it hurt to think about my child not meeting him. He has done so many hurtful things to me, but my child deserved to know him.He is a good man who followed his heart. How can I blame him for that? it hurt, yes, but how can I fault him when he was doing what I would have done myself if I was in his shoes? I understood that but it didn’t mean I was not hurt.I was and deeply. He is my mate, and he was supposed to love me and only me. forsaking all others and focusing on me alone. That is the point of having a mate, but mine didn’t. he fell in love with his brother’s mate. What was that? it brought shame to me and made me feel like I am not enough.That thought alone scared me. I was talking to him about going to my father’s pack for a while, that I needed a break when his eyelashes flattered, and he opened his
AIDENHe looked at me with so much hatred, if he had his way, I would be dead by now. But he knew that he didn’t stand a chance, not alone at least. He glared at me intensely and I looked at him with a smirk on my face. He was nothing to me and I am going to show him and his buddies not to mess with this alpha.He saw I was not budging, and my warriors were about to disappear. “Wait! Call them back, I will call everyone and tell them to come here like you want.” I smiled, good boy. “You can call them, but I will not stop them from bringing your sister. Let’s just say she is my insurance policy in case you decide to double cross me.”The hatred in his eyes was too much, I am sure he was wishing I was dead. “Don’t lay a finger on her, even after you kill me. Promise me that.” I laughed. The boy still thinks he has a say on what I do and don’t do. He doesn’t tell me what to do in my own pack.“You are in no position to ask me for anything. But, if you behave, I will think about it. She i
AIDENThere is nothing I hate more than being looked down upon. I am not weak like my father was and people looking down on me and underestimating me just drives me insane. That woman had the audacity to send someone into my pack because she thought I was not going to be here.Why does it matter if I am here or not? My pack should not be a place where anyone can just come into. The mention of Moon pack should strike fear into people’s hearts. They should think twice about coming here for any reason. But she dared send someone here and he agreed because of the amount of money he was paid?That is a joke, I am a joke. No amount of money should influence anyone to dare try anything in this pack, but it did with that man, that means they don’t fear me enough. “Where is that man?” I sent a mind link to my warriors now feeling more pissed than before. Thinking about it now, it made me angry.“He is still here, alpha. But we are sending him out now.”“Don’t send him out, bring him to me.” he
AIDENA week has passed since the incident. Brook looked like the shadow of herself. She literally lived in the hospital, showing and eating there. She didn’t want to leave Zion’s side. My search for that vile, evil woman continues. My warriors promised that they have left word on the streets about her mother, but she still had not shown.I was busy running the biggest pack in the region and I didn’t have time for anything else. I last saw Zion three days ago. I didn’t have time; I was too busy trying to rebuild the Blood Moon pack and run the Moon Pack at the same time. It was too much. I woke up in the early hours of the morning and slept late at night.“Alpha, we caught someone at the border, we are bringing him there.” A mind link came through from one of my warriors. “Take him to the dungeons and tell me when you get there.” I wondered who could that person be and what the hell was he doing trespassing in Moon Pack lands.My mind went to that woman, could she have heard what I di
AIDENShe lifted her head high and looked me in the eyes. I squinted my eyes hoping to the goddess she has the sense not to repeat what she said. But I was fooling myself because she opened her mouth and spoke. “They have done it to us, they made fools of us and had an affair right under our noses. Why can’t we do the same? But unlike them, we don’t have to hide it.”I looked at the woman trying to see if I could ever do something like that, but nothing happened. I was not attracted to her in anyway. Maybe because I was not Zion, and I didn’t want what was not mine.“Listen here and listen well. Just because my brother could open his zipper for my mate, doesn’t mean I should do the same. We are not the same and I could never do something like that with you. so, don’t you ever mention something like this to me again.” I was harsh and my words cold.I didn’t want for her to respond
AIDENI watched as the doctors wheeled my brother away and I could not help but feel helpless. I blamed myself as well for what happened to him. If I had just given him my blessing to be with that woman. Maybe none of this would have happened. He would have been safe and happy. But I had to be stubborn about everything.“Why didn’t you stop it?” asked Brook who was walking beside me, making sure that I was going to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t know why she wanted to do that when she knew that I would be healed by now. Even though I would be left with nasty scars from the fire.“What are you talking about?” I felt sorry for her, it must feel really bad being mated to a man whose heart belonged to another. Let alone being pregnant for him and finding out that he was grieving the loss of his first child.I admired her strength and courage. If I was the one going through what she was going through, I don’t think I would have been able to help. I would have gone crazy and watc
