From Alessia's POVA silence fell over us after Daunte said he had killed Alpha Markus. I couldn't believe it. I knew I had heard his voice in my vision, which I was certain of.I had so many questions. Some I thought I already had the answers to, others had risen in light of the events that had started to unfold.After Daunte was given the OK to leave the hospital, Logan drove us back to the packhouse. We exited the car as soon as he parked, and I made a beeline for my bedroom. I needed time to think and process everything that Daunte had told us. But mainly, I needed time to get in contact with Briseis. I wanted to ask her about my vision. Maybe she could help clarify some things.Upon entering the bedroom, I noticed the window was open, which was odd because I had never opened the window before. I cautiously approached the window and looked out. I saw a small note taped to the window. I opened the note, and a chill ran down my spine when I read the contents."You can't hide forever

From Daunte's POVI had no idea what she had seen, but I knew she wasn't lying. Her look and how she held onto me tightly told me she was telling the truth. She had a look of fear in her eyes, and I could feel her trembling. I knew that whatever she had seen was frightening, and I knew I had to protect her by any means necessary.Walking back to my office, I knew I had to finish telling her the truth about her parents. My one fear was that this would push her away even more. I knew that I had to take the risk and tell her in spite of the fact that this might mean losing both her and Romo. As we entered my office, I led her to the chair across from my desk and gestured for her to sit. I took a deep breath and started to explain the situation."I wanted to tell you earlier, but I wasn't sure it was the right time with everything that happened at the hospital. Alessia, your mother had the ability to see the past, present, and future. I think perhaps this is why you are having these visio

From Jared's POVLife has a funny way of making you pay for things. I always knew Alessia was my mate from the day she arrived at Crestview Pack. The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew. I also knew there was something special about her, as did everyone else.The day Alpha Markus found out we were mated, he had pulled me into his office. I remembered it as if it was yesterday. Little did I know that my life would have changed then and there.(Flashback)"Jared, my boy, come in, come in," Alpha Markus said."You want to see me?" I asked as I walked in and took a seat in the chair across from him." Since gossip can contain plenty of lies, I wanted to ask you personally. You see, I heard you were mated to Alessia. Is there truth to this?" Alpha Markus asked.I gulped and remained silent for a moment. I felt my heart sink as Alpha Markus stared at me, clearly expecting an answer. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Yes, it's true. I'm mated to Alessia.""Well, I need you to do something

From Alessia's POVI had to hand it to Daunte for not wanting to give up on me. But as much as he wanted me, I knew I was not ready and wasn't sure if and when I would be. As we drove, I stared out the window at the trees passing by, and my mind wandered. I was stuck in limbo between everything I knew and everything I thought I knew. I was so lost in thought that I did not notice the car stop until I felt tingles run up my arm from Daunte placing his hand on top of mine."Forgive me," he said, removing his hand from mine. He gestured to a diner, saying, "We're here." I followed his gaze and saw that the small cafe was brightly lit and inviting. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, feeling a sense of anticipation.There was nothing special about the diner; you could call it a hole in the wall, but it was warm and inviting all the same. The ambiance was that of a 1950's era. The diner was decorated with vintage furniture and old-fashioned signs. The tables were covered in re

From Daunte's POVLeaving the hospital was probably the worst idea I ever had. I felt like shit, but what would have happened to Alessia if I hadn't? It was risky for her to be alone every day, so I decided to leave, but I also knew that I couldn't protect her adequately at the moment. All I knew was that I needed to protect her the best way I knew how, and that was to be by her side. I had to ensure Alessia was safe, even if that meant risking my own life. Beyond that, nothing else mattered to me.Following my conversation with Hector, I decided to give her some space. My greatest fear was losing her, but if Maliyla and Hector could survive everything they went through, then so could Alessia and I. I only needed to be her friend before anything else, and everything would work out fine.Taking the time to talk to her was vital, which was my main reason for bringing her to eat. It gave us the time we needed to be alone. The conversation was a bit awkward, but in the end, I saw a small

From Daunte's P.O.V.Walking out of my office, I headed outside. I needed to see my mate. I needed to make sure she was safe. I had no idea how all this would play out. I had so many questions, yet no answers. I didn't understand how everything could be turned upside down in the blink of an eye. But ask me if I cared, and I would say: FUCK NO!Alessia was worth the pain and suffering. I would die for her as long as she was safe; I only cared about her safety.Stepping outside, my eyes immediately drifted to the car. I hesitated for a moment until I saw Logan step out of the vehicle. I watched as he walked over to the passenger side and opened the door. The moment I saw Alessia step out, I sighed in relief.I rushed over to her and pulled her into my arms. I felt a rush of tingles shoot through me, and I closed my eyes as I rested my head on top of her head. I smiled at her shortness. She stood at five feet two inches; in contrast to me, she was a little midget standing next to my six-

From Daunte's POVBlood was everywhere! You think of a murder scene, and this was it. From what I could see, nobody was in the room, just blood. I had seen a lot of blood on the battlefield, but this was different.This was my home, my mates' room, this was my pack!The only thing running through my mind was getting Alessia out of there. Turning and looking at her, I saw panic in her eyes immediately; I knew I had fucked up."How the fuck did we not catch this?" I thought to myself."Not sure!" I heard Romo's voice echo in the folds of my mind."You are slipping; how can you not smell all this blood?" I asked him."There is nothing to smell, fleshing," he retorted."What the fuck does that mean?" I replied, surprised by his response.How could he not smell this? As wolves, we had an impeccable sense of hearing and smell. With that in mind, it became apparent that I had not heard anything; no one did! I cleared my throat before taking Alessia's hand and pulling her out of the room."Fo

From Alessia's POVWaking up the following day, I felt relaxed and at ease. As if something weighing me down had been lifted from me. That was until I realized I was not in my room. Sitting up in bed, I noticed my surroundings were much more luxurious.The walls of the bedroom were painted a lovely creamy beige. The bed was large and covered in a white down comforter. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, and a vast window overlooked the backyard. For a moment, I was in bliss until my eyes landed on the lounge by the balcony window, and I noticed Daunte lying down fast asleep.After pushing off the comforter, I slipped off the bed and slowly made my way toward the couch. As I stood there, I watched him for a moment. I studied his face very carefully, every feature from the lines on his forehead to his well-defined jawline. His eyes were closed, and he was snoring softly. His chest rose and fell with each breath, and I could feel my heart racing as I watched his peaceful face. I stood th

Bonus chapter***Alessia's Promise is Fulfilled***There was only one sound I could hear: the sound of the monitor. Nothing else mattered, not the people in the room nor the sound of my heart beating in my chest. There was only one thing I cared to listen to: the monitor that indicated that Daunte was still with me. As far as I was concerned, losing him was not something that I could cope with at this moment in time. As a result of the fact that he attempted to sacrifice himself for me, I was further convinced of the extent to which he cared for me.As I sat in the chair next to his bed, I recalled the last minutes of our battle as I remembered how we had come so close to losing each other. Watching Jared sacrifice himself in order to save Daunte was one of the most heartbreaking memories I would carry with me. A few seconds before the silver nitrate bullets were fired, Jared had shoved him out of the way. Although one of the bullets still managed to hit Daunte in the shoulder, the ot

***Five Years Later***"Mommy, Mommy, Uncle Hector said a bad word after he hit Daddy," Mikaylea yelled as she ran into the kitchen. There was a great deal of worry and concern in her light blue eyes."Awww, sweetie, I am sure that Daddy and Uncle Hector were only playing," I said to her as I approached her and scooped her into my arms, brushing her strawberry blonde hair from her face.In spite of the fact that Mikaylea was only five years old, nothing flew past her. After placing her in a regular preschool, we were surprised to discover that she was already exceeding every child her age. The sound of laughter reverberated throughout the hallway as Daunte and Hector walked into the kitchen, and I placed Mikaylea in her high chair."You know that I won," Daunte laughed as he approached me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me."Uncle Hector, you hit Daddy," Mikaylea exclaimed, pointing her little finger at Hector."Yes, I did, but only because he fucken deserved it," Hecto

From Alessia's POVIt was never in my head that I was lucky or blessed, not after all the things I have experienced. Many nights, I literally cried myself to sleep, asking the moon goddess to take me away from this life that had been given to me, one which was so disappointing to me. Other times, I would wonder why I was left alone to survive while my parents were gone.All of that changed when Daunte walked into my life and changed everything for me. He changed my life, and I was exposed to new possibilities. To say that I am blessed to have him in my life is an understatement. Having said that, there aren't even a few words that can do justice to my emotions and how he makes me feel. It has been Daunte who has been my rock, the source of my salvation, the source of my reassurance, and a beacon of light in the dark, and I can only wish that others are as fortunate to find someone like this in their lives.I had come full circle in my life, having gone from an orphan to an omega withou

From Daunte's POVAs far as I knew, Alessia had never been outside the city, let alone out of the country. Hence, when Hector mentioned taking Alessia somewhere she'd never been, I asked Maliyla to investigate on my behalf. Imagine my surprise when Alessia confided in Maliyla that she had never seen snow before. After hearing that, it only made sense to take her to Breckenridge since the weather there was perfect for skiing, especially during the winter when the snow was falling, the most beautiful time of the year.I had made sure to leave everything in Dominic's hands, with Hector serving as a backup in case he wasn't available. However, after Luke mentioned that his mate was in my pack, it became evident that he should stay at the Onyx Fang pack to resolve things with her. In order to accommodate Alessia and me comfortably, I had asked Hector to reserve one of the private cottages. I had planned for our honeymoon to only last for two weeks. Due to her carrying pups, I needed to make

From Daunte's POVWatching her walk down the aisle was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life. I will never forget the look she had in her eyes, and I will never forget how she looked at me. Alessia came into my life and changed every aspect of it. I had heard her say many times that she was the luckiest woman, but in reality, I was the lucky one. Every day with her was even more magical than the last. Alessia was the reason I believed in love and the answer to my prayers."Thank you," I said to Hector as I took Alessia's hand and guided her up the remaining stairs to where my father stood. I had asked him the night before to perform the ceremony. I knew that my grandfather had performed his, and I wanted to keep the tradition going."We are gathering here today to witness the union of not one Alpha but two. The goddess had chosen these two amazing people to come together in a union unlike any other," he said, pausing momentarily and smiling at Alessia and me."There are many

From Alessia's POV***Three days later***There was something inexplicable about waking up the morning of the ceremony. At that moment, I felt as if I was the king of the world, well, queen in my case. In the past, if you had asked me if I had ever seen myself mated with an Alpha male and being this happy, I would have laughed at the idea. Daunte was a blessing in so many ways. The kindness with which he treated me was beyond anything I had ever experienced before. During the course of our relationship, he demonstrated his love to me in ways I could never have imagined was possible.Opening my eyes, I turned to find his side of the bed empty. Extending my arm, I touched his side of the bed. The warmth he left behind filled me with a wave of warm chills. Pulling his pillow towards me, I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent. I lingered for a moment, savoring the feeling of his warmth. I felt a surge of emotion wash over me, and I whispered a silent prayer of gratitude for his presence i

From Daunte's POVSeeing Alessia in such a happy state was the best feeling of my life. It was as if she was glowing; her smile alone would brighten your day, and the love she held in her eyes was more meaningful and magical than anything I had ever witnessed.As long as I can remember, I have prayed to the Goddess to give me a mate, and after having watched so many of my closest friends go through hell and back with their mates, I figured that if it made me happy, I would want to go through the same struggles and pains that they did. For me, Alessia's pain, anger, and love meant more to me than anything else in life, and I would happily relive them again and again if I had to do so.In all honesty, finding out that she was pregnant was one of the best pieces of news I ever received; it was one of the most rewarding feelings in my life to have pups in my life. As soon as Hector and Maliyla gave birth to Pethasillla, the feeling began to develop in me; as I spent more and more time wit

From Alessia's POVWhoever said that planning a wedding was easy was a liar. At least, in my eyes, they were. Having to go through all the dress fittings, the cake tasting, food, and floral arrangements turned out to be a nightmare. Kira was a huge help, and so was Jackie. I had asked Daunte to excuse Jackie from work to assist me. I missed talking to her and needed her advice on many things, especially my pregnancy. Although Jackie herself didn't have pups, I needed advice on what to tell Daunte. I wasn't sure if he was ready to have any. As Alpha, I knew that pups were a big deal, as it was through our children that the bloodlines and legacy continued, but was he ready? And most importantly, was I?Briseis had been silent for the last few weeks. Talking to her had become almost nonexistent. It was almost as if she had disappeared.Everything seemed to happen so quickly that I didn't believe it at first. However, it all started making sense when Margaret increased my food intake and

From Alessia's POV Two days had passed since we returned from the Mystic Shadow pack. It was a bittersweet experience. A total of two hundred pack members came back with us to the Onyx Fang Pack. I was happy to have my aunt Millie come with me and Exodus, who we later learned was her mate. However, I was heartbroken to see so many people left behind. Even though we left food and other supplies and promised to return to help them rebuild their homes on the Mystic Shadow pack grounds, I still felt a sense of emptiness but also a sense of hope for the future. I was looking forward to helping rebuild my old pack and making it even stronger than before. Back at the Onyx Fang Pack, Jackie had fitted in quite nicely and had already begun working for Daunte and Hector. I was happy to have my best friend with me, even if I didn't see her as often as I thought I would. Margaret was back to her usual self, and in true Margaret fashion, she ensured that Daunte had his coffee as he liked. There w
