I wasn’t surprised it was him—Elder Finn. That piece of trash has always been a thorn in the flower. Now, he’s proven himself to be against me and this pack. I’ll show him how a traitor is punished when they dare to betray me. “Greg, I need every piece of information on Zach now! His whereabouts and what he’s been doing in the last 24 hours. Be quick we have no time to waste,” I ordered my Beta. He nodded and left without a word. “Derick, what’s the latest news from Miles about the locations we marked?” I asked. “There’s been progress so far. We’ve found three spots outside the city that match Ripley’s description. We sent our men and stationed them there. Nothing suspicious has happened, except about an hour ago, one of our men saw two trucks delivering food supplies to the mountains behind Alveria.” I nodded at his words. That was progress. No one messes with me and gets away with it. It was only a matter of time before I caught that madman, Henry. “So, you chose A
We arrived at the location in no time. Derick and Greg rode in the same car with me. My men filled two trucks, and we split up to make it easier to surround the place.We parked two miles away from the camp, careful not to alert them to our presence. Through a telescope, I observed their camp. Just as my brother had confirmed, it was filled with Rogues wandering around, some of them armed with guns.Typical Henry, always looking for the upper hand in any fight. "Guns," I muttered with a scoff.I picked up my phone and dialed a number.“What is your position?”“We’ve reached the location you marked and are awaiting your orders,” a voice replied.“Good. Stay on standby until I give the signal.”“Okay, Alpha.”We waited patiently for the right time to strike. My men and I managed to get a proper look at the abandoned warehouse. The field in front of it was huge, covered with tents where they seemed to sleep. Oddly, they appeared to be living in peace.I glanced at my watch. It was pas
We all fought in our human forms, but Henry knew he was no match for me. I hadn’t fully shifted, but my wolf partially emerged, with only my hands changing to wolf form.The fight didn’t last long. Henry quickly realized I was gaining the upper hand, especially after I flung him to the ground for the fifth time. My wolf’s anger burned through my glowing eyes as I stalked toward him, rage urging me to sink my fangs into his neck until he couldn’t move anymore.“Stop! Stop! Don’t come any closer!” he shouted, his voice trembling with fear as he scurried backward. His hands were raised, as if they could somehow stop me. “If you do, you’ll never see your mate again!”“You dare threaten me?” I growled, fury lacing every word.“Your mate is still in my hands, Liam. If you want her alive, you’ll let me live,” he stammered, his tone desperate.How dare this lunatic threaten me? Without hesitation, I grabbed him by the neck, my grip tightening around his throat. “No. I decide who lives or d
My heart hammered in my chest as I froze in my tracks. My brother's words rang in my head: explode!What kind of sick game is this madman playing? My wolf howled loudly in my mind for its mate. Her muffled sobs barely escaped through the gag tied over her mouth. Only her tears could be seen, streaming down her cheeks. My gaze locked on the bandage on the side of her head, and my blood boiled with rage. How dare Henry hurt my mate.My heart shattered a million times seeing her like this. She was innocent and didn’t deserve this pain, it was all because of me. Henry wanted revenge for what happened a year ago, and now my mate had to suffer for it.“Henry!” I roared, standing tall with fists clenched.“Stop yelling, Liam. This isn’t your pack grounds,” Henry said, stepping out from a hidden door in the office. That must have been where he kept her.“Let her go! She has nothing to do with the mess you created yourself. You want me, don’t you? I’m here now leave her out of this!” I dema
Liam's povMy brother fought against all three of them, keeping them away from my mate. Henry was growing weaker in our fight.I noticed he couldn’t fight like before. His face was badly bruised from all my blows.I pushed him to the ground, but he dragged me down with him. We crashed into a table, shattering it to pieces.Derick was still battling the three rogues when they suddenly began shifting into their wolf forms right in front of Macy. The room filled with the loud growls of wolves. I knew I had to help my brother. He was strong, but he couldn’t take on all three while also protecting my human mate.I threw Henry off me, grabbed him, and hurled him against the hard wall. His body hit the wall with a loud thud. When I turned, I saw the rogues in their wolf forms stalking Derick, their growls and fangs bared menacingly.Without hesitation, I ran toward them, leaping into the air and shifting into my large black wolf mid-jump. I growled threateningly, baring my fangs as I joine
Macy's POVAll through the night, I couldn’t sleep. I waited patiently for the morning to come. I was scared and didn’t want to die like this. I had so many dreams to fulfill. I wanted to get married and have kids of my own, live in a small house with a garden out back, and a husband who loved me without doubt.I stared out the little window of the tiny room just above the bed. There was no moon or stars in the sky. I sighed. Maybe even the moon and stars couldn’t bear to watch my plight. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to my grandma and Lori. My mind wandered to them. They must be so worried about me.I decided to sing my favorite song, the one my mom taught me when I was younger. That was before she died. It became my favorite after she passed. My mother loved music, too. She taught me how to play the guitar and piano when I turned six. Those moments were the happiest of my life.My family was complete then, me, Mom, Dad, and Grandma. We used to have so much fun. There wasn’t a
Liam's POVWe arrived at Waterfall in no time, and I saw my father and mother standing in front of the pack house with one of the pack's doctors waiting. I had mind-linked Dad earlier to inform him of my arrival and to arrange for a doctor to examine Macy. I quickly got out of the car, carried my unconscious mate in my arms, and walked into the pack house. I went straight upstairs to my room and gently placed her on the bed.She looked so peaceful in this state, though her face was very pale. I sat next to her on the bed, holding her hands in mine as I watched her. The pack's doctor walked in with both my parents behind him."Alpha, if you don't mind me checking on her," the doctor said, his voice tinged with fear.Reluctantly, I let go of her hands. With an annoyed, jealous wolf, I had to leave her side so the doctor could do his job and check on her. Rage didn't want to take any chances leaving her side, even for a minute. The fear of almost losing her, even before we had her,
I woke up two hours later, and Macy was still unconscious, just like before. I leaned closer to her on the bed, so close I could feel her breath on my face. My hands moved to her face, gently pushing back some strands of hair that had fallen and covered part of her face.She looked so beautiful. Mom had cleaned her up earlier, after the doctor left, and helped change her clothes into my T-shirt and some sweatpants so she could sleep comfortably.I reluctantly left the bed and the room after taking a quick shower and changing my clothes. I walked downstairs to the living room. Both my brother and Beta were back, sitting on different cushions with worried looks on their faces.“How did the cleanup go?”“Everything is done, we cleared the place, Alpha,” Greg answered.The tone in which he responded didn’t give much away. Something wasn’t right. I shifted my gaze to my brother, and his expression was no different from that of my Beta.“Go on, spill it. What’s the matter?” I asked, curious
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the pack grounds, as the time for the marking ceremony approached. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation. In the heart of the pack house, the sounds of laughter and chatter filled the air as family and friends gathered to celebrate a momentous occasion. **Mara's Room**In a cozy corner of the pack house, Mara sat cross-legged on her bed, her sparkling blue eyes alight with curiosity. Beside her, Aria sat nervously, twisting her fingers in her lap. “Mara, please! It was just… it was so intense,” Aria replied, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. “Oh come on! You can’t leave me hanging like that!” Mara insisted, her voice a mixture of excitement and teasing. “You lost your virginity to not one, but two alphas! I need every detail!”Aria giggled, the sound infectious. “Fine, but only if you promise not to tell anyone else. It’s still so surreal.”Mara leaned in closer, her eyes wide with anticipation. “I swear! Cross
The warm morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of Mara’s room, casting a soft glow over the two women sitting together on the bed.Aria, her cheeks flushed with lingering embarrassment, hugged her knees to her chest, her lips curved into a shy smile.Mara, sat beside her, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“So,” Mara began, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, “you have to tell me everything. And don’t leave out a single detail!” She nudged Aria playfully, her voice dripping with anticipation.“I want to hear *all* about last night.”Aria’s cheeks burned even redder as she bit her lip, a nervous giggle escaping her.“Mara…” she mumbled, trying to hide her face behind her hands. But Mara wasn’t letting her off the hook that easily.“Come on, Aria!” Mara teased, her laughter infectious. “You lost your virginity to my brothers! That’s something we can’t just *not* talk about.”Aria couldn’t help but laugh, too, though her face still showed the embarrassment of the nigh
The sun was dipping low in the sky, casting an orange glow across the lake. The soft breeze carried the sweet scent of flowers as it brushed over our skin, but all I could focus on was Aria, our mate.She stood between us, her cheeks flushed, her breathing uneven as the tension thickened around us.Leo and I exchanged a glance, a silent agreement passing between us. Tonight, we would claim her fully, body and soul. And here, on the soft grass beside the lake, under the twilight sky, we would make her ours.“Lie down, baby,” I whispered to her, guiding her down gently. She looked up at me with wide eyes, filled with desire and a hint of nerves. Leo knelt beside her, stroking her cheek softly.“We’re here with you, Aria. We’ll take good care of you,” Leo said, his voice deep and soothing.She nodded, her trust in us evident, and my heart swelled with possessive pride. She was ours.Leo and I wasted no time. As she lay back on the soft grass, her body glistening with anticipation, I lo
My palm itched with a burning need for blood. What just happened was enough to drive anyone insane, how dare those lowlifes come here and threaten us?I could kill that fucker again if I had the chance, and Leo and I? We fear no one, especially not the pathetic Star Crust pack.Our father, being part of the Alpha's council, will undoubtedly handle the situation. But what baffled me was Aria’s sudden outburst, claiming it was her fault and offering to take the punishment.Why would she do that? It didn’t make sense, and that only added to the fury burning within me.Jagao, my lycan, had been restless ever since. The only way to calm him was to let him out. Leo felt the same.Without a second thought, we headed toward the woods, a mutual understanding between us. We didn’t need words to communicate.The second we stepped into the clearing, we both shifted. Our massive wolves hit the ground, their paws sinking into the earth as we took off running at full speed, the tension slowly ebbin
“The fact that everyone knew about this except us still shocks me. It makes me feel so stupid for not noticing the signs.” Mara and I were settled on her bed, thankfully having moved past her tears.“I always thought they hated me, especially Daryl.” A sigh escaped Mara's lips as she took my hands in hers, locking her gaze onto me. “How do you feel about being mated to my hot-headed brothers? Does it scare you at all?” “Not at all. I mean, I was nervous at first, but it turns out they actually like me as their mate,” I replied honestly.She nodded, and for the first time that day, a smile broke across her face before she pulled me into a warm embrace. “Part of me is genuinely happy that you’re mated to my brothers. It means you’ll be living in Waterfall for the rest of your life, and I get to watch you become Luna someday.” Tears brimmed in my eyes at her words, but the last part sent a shiver down my spine. Poor Aria would have to face the reality of becoming Luna one day.“I f
Eventually, I decided to wear a red crop shirt, pairing it with a yellow skirt to avoid unnecessary arguments with my mates. Both men stared at me in admiration after successfully helping me get ready.Daryl fixed my hair while Leo helped me put on my sandals. The feeling of being cared for by them was exceptional; I loved it.My cheeks had remained heated ever since the kisses we shared, and my lips were plump from the kiss, but I relished the sensation.“You look breathtaking, as always.”I smiled at his words, and we stood in front of a full-length mirror, admiring my look. Daryl wrapped his arms around my waist, his face buried between my head and shoulder. He was literally obsessed.Finally, we left the room. When we arrived downstairs, the entire family was present, except for Mara. My heart skipped a beat, knowing she must have learned the truth about the boys and me.I imagined her reaction to this new knowledge; she must be freaking out. Yet she was nowhere to be found as
Aria POV I still remember the first day I met the children of the Alpha; it was the day my mom finally got a job at the waterfall pack house.Mara and I synced shortly after we met; we fell in love quickly, declaring ourselves besties. We both needed one another since we never had friends. Moving from one shelter to another worsened it to keep any friends. We were so glad when Waterfall opened their borders and offered us a home.Daryl and Leo have always been inseparable, ever since my arrival. The boys were not so fond of me, or so I thought since they always found ways to pick on me.Daryl turned nastier, picking on me all the time, ever since the night of my seventeenth birthday party that Luna Macy threw for me. After I foolishly told the truth about being a virgin during our never-have-I-ever game.My nickname came to be ‘Aria the virgin.’ sigh.Growing up with these fine young men messed up with a reserved girl like me, both Daryl and Leo always made me feel some type of way.
Liam's POVFor a minute, I pause in the conversations with a few Alphas that surrounded me, when I notice my son Leo glancing around for something or someone. He seemed worried, so I quickly excused the group. “Son, Searching for someone?” Leo explained everything that happened and the reason they were searching for her. I understood Daryl, his lycan has always been possessive over Aria since they found out she was theirs. “Is something wrong?” Macy asks the second she approaches us. Before we could say a thing, Leo growls as his eyes turn to that of his Wolf.“Fuck! Aria is in trouble…” He yells before Instantly running away. Macy and I follow suit as he shifts into his large Wolf sprinting towards the woods behind the pack house. Gerald and Elaine must have noticed us because, in a few seconds, they arrived at the scene as well.Of course, Jagao killed the young Alpha, and if we did not arrive in time the other might be dead too.We heard of the stories of the first lycan king,
“Let go of me!” Mara screams before pulling away, “What is wrong with you both?”We manage to drag them back Into the pack house, at this point, my beast was getting pissed with them.“Why are you still friends with that loser?” Leo questions, “He is not our friend,” Mara hissed.“Then explain to me why you were seen together.” “It's none of your business, Leo, it is a party and of course, we'll meet people.” “So that's the reason you both are dressed like this?” I asked this time. My gaze was on Aria the entire time.“Nothing's wrong with our dress, Aunt Serai got it for us.” “The Witch!” Leo and I exclaim, the nerves of that old woman, how dare she expose our mate's body!“Everything is wrong with this dress. Especially yours Aria, you look like a slut in it.” I yell angrily. Silence follows afterward, our gaze meet and those puppy eyes stare back in shock. “What the fuck Daryl?” I hear Mara scream, yet our focus is still on one another. Tears dropped down her cheek that mome
