I sat in my office thinking about my meeting with Alpha Dominique earlier on. I bet he's a smart man, and he wouldn't dare lay a finger on my mate, as I had warned him not to. I'm still yet to figure out what to do with my stubborn mate. But then, I think she's cool when being stubborn. She's not as weak as I had earlier thought and, for some reason, I'm glad she could defend herself. Not like I'd watch her defend herself in front of me, but I won't be around her every time and, for that reason, I am delighted she can do so much for herself. Just then, I heard a sharp knock on my door. I took my gaze to the door, but quickly darted away. I already knew who it was, and honestly, I wasn't in the mood to entertain anyone. But then, she's not just anyone, she's a member of my pack and the pack's witch as well. I can't write her off, most especially when she knows that I'm in the office. The door to my office flew open, and she came into view. “Alpha Xander, I can't tell that you're no
“My lady, you have no idea what happened in the pack today.” “Freya, when will you stop the gossip? I'm too tired to listen to anything at now.”“But my lady, I'm sure you want to hear about this story, trust me.”I had just arrived from the pack from a long shoot which dragged on for more than a week. Just when I thought I'd be able to take a rest, Freya came up with a gossip I might not be interested in. But then, I can't stop her now. Though she's a gossip, most times her words tend to become something I want to hear. “Go on then, and make it short, please.”“Alpha Xander declared Laura as his mate in front of everyone today.” I froze and instantly took my hands up the front of my dress where the zipper was located.“You said what?!”“I know you'll be shocked. I'm as shocked as you are. Not just us, but the whole of the pack as well. I'm sure everyone thought Laura was saved by Xander from the hands of rogues, but no one knew she was actually his mate.”At that very moment, I was
“Alpha, Xander, what are you truly playing at? At first, I thought you were doing all of this because you didn't like her, and now you are telling everyone she's your mate?”I took a quick glance at Chris, suspiciously. Without being told, I knew something was definitely wrong with Chris.“How dare you call her by her name! Give me an honest answer, Chris, are you perhaps in love with my mate?” Chris walked up to me boldly, I could see the seriousness in his gaze and I could already guess what his answer might be.“Now that you've. Asked, I don't think I should hide it anymore. Yes, I'm in love with her!” My wolf instantly let out a growl, and without a second wait, I attacked Chris, and we both fell to the ground.“How dare you admit that to my face!” I thundered in a loud growl. My eyes had turned dark blue, which was the color of my wolf's eyes. Chris's wolf had equally surfaced.“You never liked Laura. Would you blame me if I fell head over heels in love with her?”“You're not
I still could not deal with the fact that Xander not only rejected me, but also made it known to the whole pack that he was mated to Laura. I thought that so long as Xander didn't let the entire pack know about Laura being his mate, I would still have a chance with him. But now that I had discovered that he didn't care a shit about me, and I had lost my chance of being with him. I decided to make do with the only option I had, and that was to extract all of Laura's powers and have her killed. That way, Xander would have no choice but to pay more attention to me. “My lady, I'm back,” I quickly turned around to Amanda, who sneaked into my room quietly in the middle of the night. “Did you find out about what I asked you?”“Of course, my lady, she awaits you as we speak.”I got up in excitement. Now I can tell that the moon goddess is on my side. If things go as planned, Xander will be mine soon. I quickly dressed up. I put on a black cloak with my hair covered. I must go searching f
I heard a steady knock on my door, which immediately made me jolt to a sitting position. Who the hell was that? The scent was unfamiliar and to top it all, it was in the middle of the night. While I was still thinking about who it was, the knock never stopped even for a second. Just then, I heard the voice of someone. “Luna, please open up,” the person said. It was the voice of a man. I took a deep breath and slowly stood up from my bed. Whoever it was, it was better to meet him, rather than lie back to sleep. I slowly opened the door while readying my wolf for an attack. Just then, I recognized the person to be Allen. “Allen, what are you doing here?”I asked, wide-eyed. “Luna, I'm here per the order of beta Chris. He asked me to escort you outside the pack, where he was waiting for you.”“What?” I didn't understand why Chris would want me out there in the middle of the night. I took a good look at Allen, but I didn't find anything suspicious about him. “Hold on, I'll be right
*********I slowly opened my eyes, and a dim colored light flashed through my eyes. I had no idea where I was, but the pungent smell of incense almost made me sneeze. I opened my eyes fully only to find myself in a dark room. The only thing that emanated light was a poorly lit candle. This can't be right. If it was Alpha Xander who sent his men after me, I wouldn't have been in a dark room. Judging from what I know about him, he should have had me in chains and tied to his bed by now, and not in a dark room. Just then, I heard a faint voice coming from my right-hand corner. “I think she's awake now.” The voice didn't sound familiar and because I was too weak, I could hardly tilt my head to the direction where I heard the voice from. Suddenly, a figure showed up in front of me. Someone peered down at me with a black mask on. My heart sunk instantly. I had never seen such a person in my entire existence before. *******After all that had happened, I decided to pay a visit to my m
I followed the scent of my mate, and it led me into an old cave. I paused immediately and signaled my men to stop as well. Though I perceived her scent so strongly around the place, still I just cannot take a reckless step. I quietly eye scanned the area even though it was dark. What I perceived was dangerous. Whoever took her must be powerful due to the powers I perceive around the place. This cannot be the work of Alpha, Dominique. He doesn't have that much power and most of all, he had no business taking my mate to a cave. From the stories I've heard about ancient caves, only the strongest of witches dwell in such caves. If I wasn't mistaken, a witch must have caught Laura, but what for? There's only one way to find out about that. I turned around to my men, who were all standing behind me and scanning the cave on high alert. “Everyone, follow me,” I dashed into the cave with my men behind me. **********I cannot describe how happy I was that Laura was finally in my trap, all
“Arrrgh…" The witch screamed as the silver whip was used on her, taking her fresh with it. I asked them to stop the floggings, so I could question her again.“Tell me, who sent you? Who are you working for, and why do you have my mate in your cave?!” I asked desperately.“No one sent me. How many times will I say this to you? I did this on my accord because I noticed that she was a white wolf!” The witch said. This was supposed to be the only logical explanation as to why she would have Laura in her cave, but for some reason, I still do not believe what she was saying. I felt like there was something she wasn't telling me.“That's a filthy lie. There's no way you could have known about her, not unless you've been keeping watch over my pack. This is the last chance I'm giving you to confess.”“Hit me all you want, but I won't stop telling you the same thing. She's the white wolf, and I only wanted her powers extracted from her!”I signaled my men to continue with the torture. They
****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
