“What? An evil witch? You should blame yourself for coming to the Knighters pack. You told me you wanted to leave, right? So, why didn't you leave? It was your fault all of this happened to you. And oh, you think your dad will save you. Too bad, I heard he's left with your mom.”“How the hell did you know about him and my mom?” I asked with great anger. “Oh, please don't tell me you still don't understand what's happening? You are not that naive, or are you? You think being away from the Knighters pack would limit me from getting information from the pack even when I'm gone?”At that moment, I came to understand that Ciara must have planted her spy in the pack, and if that was the case, then everyone must be in grave danger, including Xander. This isn't looking right at all. But then I wish I could mind link Xander. They had succeeded in cutting off the mind link, knowing fully well that I would surely contact Xander about this. She's indeed so cruel. “What now? Looking at your expr
The days turned into weeks, and I still have no idea where my mate was. “Alpha Xander, I think the spies have been on the move, recently.”“Listen, I want you to make sure these suspected spies are constantly tailed.”“Of course, Alpha Xander, I'll surely do as you please.”“Good, then I feel rest assured to leave protecting the pack to you,” with that, I left my delta to assist the gamma to make sure that the pack was safe for the two hours I'll be gone. Though I never tell them exactly where I'm going to. This is for their own good as well as mine. I can't tell anyone what I'm up to. Not even my delta and gamma. It is something that should be done alone.Going to my room, I picked up the necessary things I needed and headed into the woods to meet him. The moment I got into the parts leading to the Woods where we usually meet, I quickly shifted into my wolf, and we ran all the way to the meeting spot where the person I was to wait for was, pacing around while waiting for me. The
ALPHA XANDER’S POVThe witch was getting on my nerves with the confidence she used in saying those words. I could have slit her throat right away, but I was certain that she could know some things that I didn’t, so I still had to keep her there.“Watch your filthy mouth, or I will make you regret that you have a mouth.” I growled, with my fists clenched.“Alpha, someone is here to see you.” My gamma, who came over to the dungeon, whispered to me.“Do you know who it is?” I asked, without an expression on my face.“No. But he says that he has information that you would like to know about.” She replied, with her eyes lowered.I looked at the witch, spitefully, and walked out of the dungeon. It was a man who came to see me, and he looked like a messenger. Then I asked him to follow me into my house. When I sat down on the couch, I couldn’t tell him to sit because he looked too dirty to sit, and I did not know what he could have up his sleeves, although my guards had already done a checku
ALPHA XANDER’S POV Ciara angered me with the words she said, and I knew that I couldn’t take drastic measures because Ciara was dangerous at that point. “Do I have to marry you before you release my Luna?” “Of course. That has been my only dream, and I achieve whatever I set my heart to.” She said as she closed her eyes in pride. “Give me some time to think about this.” She creased her brow in a frown because of what I had said. “You need some time to think? Have you any idea that I can actually have her killed immediately? The moment I leave here without confirmation, I will order my men to slit her throat.” Ciara threatened, with a smirk. Ciara had made herself a bigger enemy and if only I could get the chance, I was going to rip her apart. “Alright, I will marry you.” I said, feeling defeated. “Good. So, we will make the wedding arrangements and when I am certain that we are married, we'll take the next step.” Ciara chuckled, feeling happy. ~ I went back to my office
ALPHA XANDER’S POVMy face turned red when I saw her walk in. Just when I thought we were all going to leave this place, without her, she had to appear just when we were about to leave.“I know that I was late for the meeting, and I sincerely apologize.” She apologized as she lowered her eyes.“This is a bad impression. How do you think we would be in favor of you? Your coming late is like a slap on our face, that is more like disrespect,” Elder Andre said, with a serious face.“I am so sorry. Please, let’s have the meeting.” Ciara begged, earnestly.I knew all that was just an act, but I hoped that the elders wouldn’t fall for it. The elders and I went back to our seats, and then she joined us as well, with her face, beaming with smiles.“We heard that you both want to get married, which we cannot accept. The white Wolf is the one destined for our Alpha. How does it sound to let go of our current Luna?” Elder Gregor asked. “We did not expect this from you, Alpha Xander. You ought to
***CIARA’S POV***I was frightened, as I wasn’t certain who it could be that was in the dungeon with me. Suddenly, the witch quickly performed a spell that would make me go unnoticed, and I felt safe, so I could stand and wait to see the person who was in the dungeon. It was Xander, it didn’t look surprising to me because he was the only one who would certainly come here, except he sent his men to help him with anything, down here.At least, I had one of his men, his beta to be precise, so, I still have him in my palms.“I just came to inform you that if you keep covering up for anyone who is bad, you won’t like the end of it when I find out.” He threatened, looked at her with spite, then left.Then I faced the old witch.“He really must be desperate and thinking you have something with me.” I said as I folded my arms and let out my breath.“Yeah. And he thinks that way because we are both witches, so he felt that you must have contacted me.” The witch said, calmly.“Hmm. Anyway, keep
*****ALPHA XANDER’S POV****“How is it that I had this dream, when you appeared in my room?” I retorted, looking sharply at her.“Oh, come on. Why would you accuse me for something like that? How would I be able to alter your dreams? I can’t do stuff like that.” She said as she stood up.“Just… give me my space. Do not come in to this room, without my permission.” I said as I slammed my hand on my face.“Even if you are dying?”“Yes!”“Well, I can’t leave you if you are dying. But if it helps, you can tell me about your dream. I might be able to help you interpret it.” Ciara offered, with a bright smile on her face.“No, thank you.”It would be dumb of me to open up to her about the dream I had. That would only make her to stay alert, especially that she was a witch, she could do anything.“Anyway, please keep in mind that we may have a meeting with the council of elders, soon.” She said, with a wink, and then left the room.If I ever knew about how bad Ciara was, I would have prayed
“So, you mean…” “We have accepted that you both get married. We are in support of your union.” Elder James said, with a smile.It felt as if they had been enchanted. How could they agree all of a sudden? It was unreasonable for them to allow me to get married to another Luna when there was still a possibility that my Laura was alive.I looked at Ciara, who was beaming with smiles. There was nothing I could do anymore, since the council of elders had approved of it.When we were done with the meeting, I dashed out of the meeting hall because I couldn’t bear to act around Ciara at that moment. I was so annoyed that I wasn’t certain that I could hide it perfectly. When I got to my room, I picked up my phone, then dialed a number.“Hello. Let’s meet in the middle of the night at the same point.” I said, feeling anger boil inside of me.~It was in the middle of the night and I walked down to the woods and met him waiting for me.“Alpha.” He greeted me when he saw me.“The elders have agr
****Laura's POV***# A Year later It hasn't been easy, being a white wolf and Luna to the great Knighter's pack. The destruction caused by my disappearance was unimaginable, but then, I'm glad the pack is yet again stable.While I was in my room, preparing for my Luna duties, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Please come in, Sarah,” I said without having to look at the door to see who it was. Sarah walked into the room, looking quite panicked. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why she was looking that way. “What's happening, Sarah?”“The Alpha requests your presence in the pack hall, as there's something you must see.”I raised an instant brow and wondered what it could be. Since the maid had already informed me, it was better to go and find out what it really was, myself. Without wasting time, I stood up from my chair and headed out of my room quickly. The moment I approached the pack hall where meetings were conducted, I couldn't help but feel something Familiar and
****Xander's POV***She stood right in front of me while peering down at me, like I was the slave and she the master. Of course, she's my master. I took my gaze downwards, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Silly me, what was I expecting? It's been years and I still don't expect her to be pregnant still, unless I'm expecting to see her carry another man's child. Alpha Dominique and the rest of the men had left, leaving just me and Laura. “Why are you here?” I heard her ask. I was so lost in her eyes that I didn't realize she was actually asking me a question. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you answer my question?”“Laura, my love. I thought you died.”“What are you doing here?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Where should I start from? I never expected that I would actually see her here. When I opened my eyes, I could see her staring at me curiously and obviously waiting for an answer. “I wanted to end it all. I thought I would never see you again, and so I
***Xander's POV***Having made up my mind to sacrifice myself for the safety of my pack I ventured to Alpha Dominique's pack with all determination. While I drove down to the pack, I made sure there were no weapons with me because I know Alpha Dominique, and that is the fact that he respects sincerity. I'm certain that when he sees my sincerity, he would surely grant me that which I seek. That is what I wish, and I hope he would actually grant me that which I truly seek from him. Just as I had expected, the moment I got to Alpha Dominique's pack, I was met by his men, but they dared not approach. I believe they thought that I had decided to come take my revenge. “Alpha Xander, you're far from your pack. Are you really here to launch an attack on us?”The man whom I recognized as Dominique's beta asked. “I'm not here for an attack, but rather, in here to see your Alpha.”They all looked at me skeptically. I could tell that they didn't believe my words. “You don't have to be scared
***Laura's POV***Since I didn't want to waste that much time, I know I should go straight to the point.“Honey, where have you been?”My mom asked, while my dad stared at me curiously. I heaved a long sigh and told them everything that had happened.“Oh no! That evil witch! I swear I'm going to have her killed for what she did to my daughter!” My mom lashed out. I was strongly baffled because this was my first time seeing my mom that mad. I've never seen her get mad at anyone before.“I knew it! This is why I would forever Blake Alpha Xander. It was all his fault. If only he hadn't involved himself with that witch, all of this wouldn't have happened.”“You're all right. Presently, there's no one who wants her dead like I do. I want her to pay for what she's done, not just to me, but for causing the packs to go to war.”My mom and dad both stared at me with a surprised expression.“What? You know what happened here?” My dad inquired, looking quite taken aback.“Well, both packs are wi
***Laura's POV***“Miss Laura, Are you sure you are ready for this“I've made up my mind, Alpha Darius. Don't you think that if I don't move, things will get even worse than now“You're right. That's why I think it's best that you really put an end to the battle. It has lingered for far too long“I know that's why I'm trying my best to put it to an end. I'm afraid that if this continues, both Alpha will end up killing one another. And I will never forgive myself if that happens“I understand you. You should take care of yourself and stay safe“I will. I'll be leaving Kaden with Mrs. Prisca,I'll come back for him the moment I have succeeded in what I'm going for“You don't have to worry. Kaden is safe with us. I have arranged some men to go with you, just in case you really need help. But still, you can inform me if you really need my help“Alpha Darius, you really didn't have to do this much for me. This is my fight, and I should be fighting it alone“You are fighting alone, that's wh
*****Alpha Xander's POV***“What do you mean, our men are all injured?”“Alpha, I don't think we can go on anymore. The soldiers are still healing from the lady battle,” my delta explained. I walked up to him with fury burning in my eyes. “What do you think would happen? If we can't protect the pack border? I'm not worried about myself, but what about the pack members? Do you think Alpha Dominique would care about the pack members? All he wants is his daughter!”“I know Alpha, why don't we come to an agreement with Alpha and try searching for Luna once more?”“You think I'm not searching for her? Alpha Dominique isn't giving me time to search for Luna.”“Fuck! This is all the faults of Miss Ciara. Why did she have to come up with such devious Plans?”“This isn't the time to think about what Ciara did. Tell me, have you heard about the men I asked you to send you to keep a track on her?”“Yes Alpha, but it seems Miss Ciara had gone into hiding.”“What? How the hell did she get away f
***Laura's POV***I instantly felt weak on my knees the moment Alpha Darius told me about the Battle between Xander and my dad. So, the fight has been because of me. I can't imagine what they must have lost during the process. This was all my fault. What should I do now? I should have told my parents I was safe earlier, and waited until Kaden was older. Just what was I thinking? How was I supposed to revolve the issue on ground? What am I going to do now? This is all my fault! Shit!“Uhm, Laura, I know how you must feel. But you have to be brave yourself. I think the best thing to do is if you do not want this war to continue, then it is time to put a stop to it. Immediately, I raised my head up and faced Darius. “Tell me, how do I bring this to a stop?”Darius stared into my eyes as if I had said something strange. “Did you really mean it when you said you want to bring a stop to this?”“Of course, I mean it. I can't let them continue on this bloodbath, or can I?”“This is good,
**Laura's POV**While at home, Mrs. Prisca and I made dinner together. Alpha Darius dropped by and since he didn't tell us beforehand, we didn't make preparations for his coming. “Darius, what's happening at the pack? You seem quite busy recently.”“I'm sorry mom, I know I should have come home at the time I promised. But yea, you're right. I've been quite busy dealing with pack matters that I could hardly even have time for myself.”“Oh, dear, they must have been really stressed. Just what exactly are you busy about? The business perhaps?”“Well, if it has anything to do with the business, that would be quite understandable. It's about the battle between two packs that is unending. So many things have been destroyed, and yet it doesn't seem like it will ever come to an end,” Darius explained. I paused at that moment, wondering why there are two packs in each other's throats for years and I couldn't help but wonder what they are truly fighting about and if it's worth fighting for an
*****Laura's POV****While I was in the clinic, trying to prepare for the day, Ms. Athena walked in. “Oh my goodness! You look so heavy, Miss Athena,” I said, looking cheerful at Athena's growing bump. “It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your discerning eye, I'm sure I would have taken my life, some months ago, thinking I was barren and wouldn't be able to have my child.”“Oh, come on, it's not because of me at all. I just did what I could.”“Exactly. All you had to do was touch my stomach and make it known to me that I was actually with child, and to this very moment, I can't even begin to tell you just how happy I am that I didn't change my mind about you. Maybe things would have taken a different turn for me. Or better yet, perhaps I would have lost my child due to my ignorance.”“And I'm still thankful that you chose to trust me, and today we'll be celebrating your safe delivery any moment from now,” I said with a smile splattered on my face.”“Oh, thank you so much!”As
