Garrett addressed the other Alphas in a similar manner, except for Alpha Anon. He held Alpha Anon's mate in custody and declared his Beta as the new Alpha, informing him that he would be given the opportunity to confront and defeat Alpha Anon when the time comes. Garrett wanted his mate to meet both Alphas before he dealt with them, as they played a significant role in her life, helping her understand the burdens of being born as an Omega.With the Alphas taken care of, Garrett made his way to the special cell where Sapphire was held. He was uncertain about what he should do with her. Upon reaching the cell, he found Elena already standing at the door, and she straightened up as he approached."Garrett," she greeted him."Elena, I would like to speak to her if you don't mind," Garrett said."Are you not going to pass judgment on her right away?" Elena asked."No," Garrett replied."Thank you. I will lift the spell that kept her mute and give you both some time to speak," Elena said
When Garrett entered the room, it was filled with his mate's comforting scent. He noticed how different his room looked now. The curtains were drawn back, allowing fresh air and sunlight to fill the space. Vases adorned the window and table, displaying beautiful flowers carefully chosen by Lois and Catherine. Lois, who had been standing by the bedside, approached Garrett and bowed before glancing back at the peacefully sleeping beauty."You'll need to feed her this every hour," Lois pointed to a covered cup, checking her wristwatch. "The next round should be in the next 25 minutes," she informed him. There was another piece of news she needed to share, but now wasn't the right time. Elena had confirmed her suspicions, and Lois couldn't believe it. She would need to conduct medical tests before informing Garrett. "I'll leave you two," she bowed her way out, closing the door behind her.Garrett took a quick shower and dressed in loose attire before returning to the room to feed his m
The next day, when Emily awoke, she found herself alone in bed. Garrett must have let her sleep in. Glancing at the bedside clock, she discovered that it was nearly 10 in the morning. Letting out a yawn, she pulled the covers over her head, intending to catch a few more winks.However, the door swung open with a bang, and a group of lively ladies barged in. Emily's eyes widened as she spotted Elena, Lois, Fanny, and Catherine entering the room. Lois held a shopping bag in her hand, and they all wore mischievous grins as they lined up at the foot of the bed. Emily lowered the covers, curious to see what was going on."Rise and shine, sleeping beauty," Fanny announced with a wide smile."Let's freshen her up," Lois suggested, setting the bag down and taking a seat on the bed. "You should have a bath.""I can manage on my own," Emily protested.Lois arched an eyebrow playfully. "Feeling shy all of a sudden?" she teased. "Oh, come on, girl." She pulled the covers down and effortlessly lif
Emily turned to look at Garrett, noticing his apparent anger. Was he jealous? She walked over to him and took his hand, smiling up at him as he looked down at her. He held her tightly, then glanced at Gabriel, who still had a smile on his face. Did the man ever stop smiling? He looked remarkably youthful for his age."Since we're all here, let's bring in Sapphire. Elena and Davies, if you would be so kind," Gabriel suggested.Davies bowed and left, followed by Elena, as they made their way to the cells to retrieve Sapphire. They would use the back door to avoid exposing her to the pack members."You're doing a splendid job here," Gabriel remarked, crossing his arms over his chest. It was surprising how well he had learned to behave like a normal human being, with all the shaking, moving, blinking, and smiling – one of his favorites."Thank you," Garrett replied curtly. Emily stepped on his foot, prompting him to look at her. She shook her head, then took a seat in Garrett's chair. Gab
A heavily pregnant Emily made her way to the hospital where her friend was working. Lois was attending to a boy who had broken his leg while playing outside with his friends. Since he was not yet at an age where he could easily heal himself, Lois had to administer a painkiller to alleviate his discomfort and put him down to rest.Emily silently followed Lois as she headed to her office. Once there, Lois washed her hands and took her seat behind the desk. Emily cleared some books from the chair to make room for herself to sit."You really shouldn't be walking around in your condition," Lois finally broke the silence, though she refused to look up at Emily. She knew why Emily had come to her office—to nag her. Davies must have put her up to it. Lois shook her head, and Emily gave her an annoyed look."If I fall sick, it'll be your fault," Emily said."Blame Davies. I'll tell Garrett to direct his fury at him, not me. I've given you my answers, and you just have to come to terms with it.
"Alvin," Emily said. Garrett had picked the name weeks ago, and she felt it suited their son perfectly. "He certainly has a strong set of lungs," Lois laughed as baby Alvin stirred in his sleep and smacked his lips, showing his hunger. Lois reached out, picked him up, and handed him to Emily. "Feed him, please." Emily grinned at her son, whose eyes were now open and gazing at her. She knew he couldn't see her clearly yet. She kissed his forehead and prepared to breastfeed him. Lois left her alone, and a few minutes later, Garrett entered the room after Emily had finished breastfeeding Alvin. The baby was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and Emily smiled at Garrett, who looked immensely proud. "How are you feeling?" he asked, sitting beside her after hugging her and kissing his son on the head. "I'm great and happy," Emily replied. "I can see that." "How do you feel? I don't think there's a word that can truly explain how I feel right now," Emily said. "Well, I feel proud," he r
The night was dark, but the moon shone bright in the sky. The members of the MoonShadow Pack were gathered around the bonfire, laughing and chatting. Emily sat beside her parents, listening to their stories of how they first met. She couldn't help but feel grateful for her loving family and the pack at large. Suddenly, the peace was shattered by a loud howl in the distance. The pack members froze, their expressions turning grim. Emily's father stood up, his hand gripping his hunting knife tightly. "It's the Blood Moon Pack," he growled, his eyes scanning the darkness. "They're here for a fight." The members of the MoonShadow Pack quickly took up their weapons, preparing to defend their home. Emily's mother grabbed her by the arm, fear etched on her face. "Emily, darling," her mother whispered urgently, "you need to hide” Emily's parents grabbed her and hurriedly led her to a small hidden alcove, tucked away in the rocks at their garden. She watched as her parents disappeared into
When Emily heard the voice of Alpha Howard, she knew that trouble was on the horizon. The Alpha had always harbored an intense dislike for her, and she was well aware that he would always find a way to punish her. Emily had never dared to look the Alpha directly in the eye, as fear always gripped her whenever he was around. "Have you been neglecting your duties?" The Alpha's voice boomed through the room. "She has, Alpha," Mrs. Wesley answered. "I see." The Alpha nodded his head, a scowl on his face. "Get her locked up in the dungeon. I don't want this mutt walking around on a day like this." At the mention of the word "dungeon," Emily's mind was immediately transported back to a few months ago when she was scrubbing the dirty floor. • • [As she was scrubbing the dirt on the floor, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the kitchen. Curiosity getting the best of her, she peeked out the door to see what was happening. She saw Alpha Howard and a few other pack members gathered aro

Garrett addressed the other Alphas in a similar manner, except for Alpha Anon. He held Alpha Anon's mate in custody and declared his Beta as the new Alpha, informing him that he would be given the opportunity to confront and defeat Alpha Anon when the time comes. Garrett wanted his mate to meet both Alphas before he dealt with them, as they played a significant role in her life, helping her understand the burdens of being born as an Omega.With the Alphas taken care of, Garrett made his way to the special cell where Sapphire was held.

Garrett reached into his pocket and extracted two witch-like syringes, hoping they would work. He muttered the command for one to open, and it did. Without hesitation, he swiftly inserted it into Alpha Anon's hand. Observing as the Alpha's hand fell limp from his body, Garrett watched him collapse to the ground. "Nice one," he thought, hoping his men remembered to use the limited supply of syringes he had given them. He spotted one of his warriors and instructed him to securely tie Alpha Anon out of sight from the others and keep a watchful eye on him. Returning to the fight, he anxiously wondered if Elena and Lois had located his mate.Drake halted in his tracks when Sapphire came to a stop before him. He cursed at her, but his attention shifted when he realized they were not alone. "Sapphire," a voice called out."Elena," Sapphire greeted her sister."Where are you going? You're not fleeing, are you?" Elena inquired."Attack her!" Drake growled, abruptly dropping Emily to the grou
Lois was taken aback by Garrett's words, her eyes widened in surprise as she tried to process what he had just said. Garrett looked at her with a lot of questions, silently asking if she was alright. Lois nodded in response, indicating that she was fine. This revelation from Garrett had left her feeling excited and eager to see how he would express his love for Emily once they were reunited. She had noticed Garrett's protective behavior towards Emily at the pack house, particularly when Drake had gotten too close to her. Surely, that meant something, didn't it?Lois informed Garrett that she was going to check on Elena, who was still recovering from her ordeal. When she returned, she found Garrett sitting by the fire, trying their best to keep their location hidden while still being able to enjoy a meal. Lois sat down next to Garrett, and he turned to her, inquiring about Elena's well-being."How is she?" he asked, passing a plate of fish to Peter before turning his attention back t
At the break of dawn, the troop set out again in search, with Elena leading the way. They walked for hours across unfamiliar lands until they reached another pack. Garrett went ahead to speak to those on patrol. The head of the Skyhigh pack patrol approached Garrett and bowed."I expected your Alpha to be here," Garrett told him."The Alpha is currently unavailable, sir," the man replied.Garrett nodded. "My troop and I are on a quest, so we will pass through your lands and take the forest path. Will there be any problem with that?" he asked.The man bowed, not wanting to offend the Alpha king. "Not at all, sir. But some of my men will have to accompany you until you are out of our land, if you don't mind," he said."I don't," Garrett informed him. He turned away and walked back to his troops. Ten warriors from the Skyhigh pack joined them to guide them out of their lands and remain on high alert in case the strangers decided to attack.Garrett wasn't overly surprised that Alpha Lang
