From Daunte's POV I sat quietly and listened intently to her every word. I felt my heart sink as she spoke. "I thought you had never met him?" Evangeline's voice pulled me from my thoughts. My gaze shifted to Alessia as she replied, "I have met him once before," she said, her voice low and timid. "When?" Evangeline asked. "The night before the accident, I saw him at the house. I remember telling my mom that someone was next to the car, but she laughed and said it was probably a cat or something." Alessia replied. "You're sure it was him?" I asked with confusion in my voice. Alessia had no memory of them brother, so hearing that she knew he had been there the night before her parents died was shocking. She nodded as she stood. "My uncle didn't realize his power, but he possessed telekinesis and telepathic abilities. He could make objects float, move things with his mind, and even influence people's thoughts. Moreover, he could manipulate time, energy, and even the weather. Despi
From Alessia's POVIt's natural for most people to flee when they sense danger, but I was different. I didn't hesitate to charge straight into it. Why? Because my mate was in trouble and I had to do everything in my power to protect him. Even though I had never been in a situation like this before and had no idea how to defend myself, I couldn't ignore the overwhelming urge to come to Daunte's aid. Every part of me was focused on getting to him and keeping him safe.While sprinting towards Daunte, I told Bririseis, "We must protect them all." As I advanced, my eyes caught sight of Hector, Dominic, and Jonathan, gracefully maneuvering through the air as they raced toward their destination. Trailing closely behind them, a formidable group of warriors, Maliyla and Katia, joined the pursuit. A wave of despair washed over me as I contemplated the sacrifices these brave individuals were making, leaving their innocent children behind to confront the battle that I had inadvertently brought to
From Alessia's POVDaunte's request for me to be Alpha took me by surprise. Who was I to take over and make decisions about a pack I had just arrived at and knew nothing about? I hesitated, not knowing what to say, but Evangeline assured me that everything would work out.Briseis had not spoken to me since Daunte ended up in the hospital. I could feel her stirring inside me, but she was silent. It was bittersweet that she wasn't talking to me, but I knew one of the reasons was due to Daunte being in the hospital. I wanted to ask her if she was okay, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was scared to break the silence; after all, I had told her to do something. I pushed her to shift and jump into a fight that we clearly were not ready for.As I sat in the hospital room, I glanced at Daunte. For two weeks, he lay there unmoving. The wounds had healed, and there was no trace of a bullet. The doctors couldn't figure out why he was not waking up; every day was torture. I had opted to sta
From Daunte's POVAfter being disconnected from my physical form for two weeks straight, my mind was consumed with thoughts of Alessia. My entire world revolved around her; nothing else mattered. As we made our way back to the Onyx Fang Pack, memories flooded my mind of the first time I laid eyes on her descending that hill. The emotions that flickered in her gaze that night were etched into my memory forever. Even in death, the fear and sorrow that I saw in her eyes continued to haunt me. My only wish was that I had managed to alter her perspective on life and prove to her that I was different from the rest.Alessia whispered, "You have." Looking at her, I saw tears in her eyes."I did what?" I asked, cupping her face and wiping away her tears."I learned what love is from you and that not everyone is the same," she whispered."I didn't say anything, so how do you know what I was thinking?" I mumbled, confused."I heard you through your thoughts," Alessia whispered, a slight smile on
From Alessia's POVAs I lay there, lost in the depths of sleep, a gentle murmur reached my ears. The sound was delicate and comforting, instantly stirring a sense of familiarity within me. My heart quickened its pace, anticipation coursing through my veins. Gradually, I allowed my eyes to flutter open, hoping to be greeted by the visage of a loved one. However, instead of a familiar face, I found myself bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon's radiant complexion. A shiver cascaded down my spine. A mix of awe and trepidation enveloped me. Suddenly, the voice resounded once more, this time with greater clarity and proximity. "Alessia," it beckoned, leaving no room for doubt or disbelief. At that moment, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was no mere figment of my imagination but a tangible reality calling out to me.I inquired, my voice trembling, "Who's there?" Suddenly, a gentle giggle resonated from the shadows. I swiftly pivoted, only to be captivated by the presence of a
From Daunte's POVFor a moment, we remained in silence. I was afraid that Alessia might misunderstand my intentions and think that I didn't support her decision to search for her pack members. However, I was always there for her, no matter what. Alessia meant everything to me, and I would do anything to keep her safe. Nevertheless, the idea of allowing rogues to join the pack was not something that could be taken lightly. I sat up and faced her, taking a deep breath. "I have a proposal that could benefit everyone. Please take it into consideration," I said.As she sat up, Alessia pulled up the sheet over her breasts. A smirk spread across my face as I cocked my brow at her. "I have made love to you many times now, and you have never covered yourself. Why suddenly now?" I laughed."Alessia replied, flushed, "This is a serious discussion. I would much rather have your attention focused on me than on my breasts."I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as I leaned in to plant a gentle
From Daunte's POV"Margaret," I called out to her. It pained me to see her in this dark forsaken place. This was no place for a person who, for many years, was a beacon of hope, love, and inspiration. Both Hector and my parents retired at the same time, and they had all decided to travel abroad and live out the rest of their lives away from the pack. Margaret had been by my side for a long time before then; she was like a mother to me. I often vented to her about not feeling adequate enough to be Alpha, but she always smiled and held my hand through everything. When it came to having Alessia as my mate, she was the one who advised me to be patient and let Alessia come into her own. It was her kind words that helped us get to where we were.As I stared at her, my heart dropped when her gaze finally met mine. How could I have allowed this to happen? I thought to myself as she rose to her feet and walked toward me. As she approached, she dropped to her knees; tears fell from her face as s
From Alessia’s POVOne week had passed since Daunte, and I spoke to the High Council to obtain their approval to integrate the packs. As a result, the entire werewolf community heard, and the backlash started seeping in. Many packs had already begun spreading rumors about me, saying I was a rouge manipulating Daunte and Hector. Some called me a fake, a liar, a cheat. Their attention was not focused on understanding the entire story. In the middle of all the nonsense that was being said, the most hurtful rumor I heard was that I had killed my parents. The stupidity of people and the closed-mindedness of the world amazed me.Yet, regardless of what everyone said about me, both packs stood by my side; even Maliyla spoke up for me. She knew how evil people could be since she had been through something similar. Maliyla understood how I felt and knew that I didn't do anything to warrant the treatment I was getting. I was glad to have someone like her standing beside me; her fight gave me th
