Alpha Kayden's POVI sat down by the fire, the warmth from it was entering my body through my boots. It was cold, the coldest we have ever had. I sighed and turned around, only to see members of the pack happy and excited, a small party was going on to celebrate our hunt, it was a good kill. I turned to Julius and he was seated like I was, but he wasn't alone, he was with the blond girl, Susan. She was his wife now. Months had passed and a lot had happened. Julius was a better man, but I couldn't say the same for myself. A man is always better with the woman he loves. “Alpha.” He said as he turned to me with a cup in his hand. I smiled and nodded back, lifting my cup also, before gulping down what remained in it. “Ughhh.” I groaned and shrugged and the strength of the drink got to me. I stood up and walked to the edge of the wood, and walked through it until I got to a small clearing that looked like a sloppy hill. I could see the lights of other packs from a very distance, h
Alpha Kayden's POV“Who's there?.” I said calmly, my voice echoing through the darkness, there was no sound at all. I looked deep Into the woods with intensity to see if maybe I would spot something, or someone, but there was nothing. I sighed and turned around, the cool wind passed again and I felt the chill in my bones. “Maybe I'm going crazy.” I whispered under my breath, my voice barely above a whisper. I turned around and fixed my eyes on the mountains again. The thoughts of Amelia consumed me. I had imagined countless scenarios of Amelia returning to me, perhaps I was just overthinking, clinging to the hope that she was alive and still out there. Just then I heard the snap of another branch. My heart skipped a beat and instinctively, I turned around and my eyes began to glow, and without a conscious thought, my claws extended, Sharp and deadly from my fingers. “Show yourself.” I screamed, my voice echoing with power and authority, cutting through the silence of the woods.
Alpha Kayden's POVAs Julius delivered the news about Amelia, my heart skipped a beat, and a surge of hope and fear coursed through my veins. I turned to Ramona, who had heard Julius's words as well, and her eyes filled with tears while her expression turned sad, it was as if she knew exactly what was going to happen. I stopped and sighed, turned around and took a step towards Ramona. She in turn, rushed towards me, her hands gripping mine tightly. “I knew it.” She said with a slight tremor in her voice, her eyes digging deeply into mine. “I knew you were going to ask me to help your mate… and my answer is yes..yes Alpha Kayden I'll be your mate.” she said finally. I sighed and turned to Julius who had a surprised look on his face. I froze in place, stunned by her words. How could she have known? I rolled my eyes, as I tried to figure out how she came to that conclusion, even though it was true. “How…how did you know?.” I asked with a slight stutter. “I didn't say anything abou
Alpha Waylen's POVI sat outside, on the balcony of the palace. My eyes scanning through the pack. It had almost been three years since I sent my Beta Luke, to check if anyone, especially Alpha Kayden, was looking for Amelia. So far there had been no sign of them. I sighed and leaned back in my chair, Inhaling the fresh air. In the most unexpected way, Amelia and her children had become the most important part of my life, except for her son of course. If there was anything I could do not to show that I hated him, I would. I felt uneasy, to think of the fact that Amelia might find out about how I truly feel about her son, who was a replica of his father. Just then, the gates of the pack opened, causing a small stir among everyone. I squinted my eyes to get a better look, and then I spotted him. “Alpha chad.” I muttered under my breath with delight. I could see he was surrounded by a group of imposing escorts. Alpha chad was from the silver moon pack, a neighborhood ally. I wat
Alpha Waylen's POVI sighed and fixed my shirt, adjusting my collar to cover up the bruise which had left a scar. As I approached the hall where the meeting was supposed to take place, I could already hear the sound of chattering, and with each step I took, it grew louder. The low hum of voices echoed through the wall, mingling with the clinking of glasses and the occasional burst if laughter. I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath. “Fuck this.” I said quietly and then I pushed open the heavy doors and stepped into the room. Instantly the chatter stopped and all eyes turned towards me, I scanned the room for a moment to find the familiar faces. My eyes fell in Luke, who stood near my chair he smiled nervously and nodded with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Then my attention shifted to Alpha Chad, who was seated comfortably in the middle of the room, his posture confident and his eyes fixed on me, his piercing green eyes held a hint of amusement, as if he knew somet
Alpha Waylen's POVI watched as Alpha Chad's eyes remained intensely in Amelia, a hint of fascination and curiosity burning through his gaze. My instincts told me that his interest in her went beyond mere curiosity, and it made me uncomfortable. "What are you looking at?" I asked Alpha Chad, my voice echoing with a mixture of caution and curiosity. His smile widened, and he turned his attention back to me."Alpha Waylen, my dear friend, you just told me that you're not married, and these beautiful children aren't yours," he replied, his voice echoing with sarcasm and mocking intelligence. "So, my best guess is that this lovely damsel doesn't belong to anyone. And I must say, she has caught my attention."I felt a jolt of frustration boil through me and I turned my attention to Amelia who was now holding her children, her eyes remained on her kids as though the rest of us didn't matter. “What's your name angel?.” Alpha Chad asked her directly, his eyes digging deep into her. Ameli
Alpha Waylen's POV“You can't be serious.” Alpha Chad said under his breath. I could see that he was slightly getting offended, just like I was, but he kept his calm. The room fell into an eerie silence as Alpha Chad's words hung in the air. My mind raced, processing the audacity of his proposition. How could he suggest such a thing? Amelia was not just anyone that could be traded for the sake of an alliance. My protective instincts flared up again, and I became even more annoyed. I stood up abruptly, my fists clenched and my voice echoing with intent. "I will not repeat myself," I said loudly, my tone cutting through the silence. "Amelia and her children are under my protection, and I will not entertain any suggestion that suggests differently or reduces her to a bargaining chip. Alpha Chad's smile faded, and he looked at me with a mix of surprise and annoyance. "What's gotten into you, Alpha Waylen? I merely made a suggestion," he said calmly, his voice echoing with frustrati
Alpha Waylen's POVI leaned closer to Luke, my voice barely above a whisper. I looked around the room to make sure that no one else could overhear our conversation. “What do you need, Alpha?” He asked, his voice low just like mine. "I want you to keep a close eye on Alpha Chad and his men," I instructed. "I don't trust his motives, and I have a feeling he's up to something. I need you to watch their every move, their interactions, and report back to me any suspicious activities."Luke's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't hesitate. "Understood, Alpha. I'll make sure to keep a close watch on them and report back to you immediately if I notice anything out of the ordinary.""Good," I said underneath my voice. It was great to have someone that I could trust"I want you to be discreet about it. Don't let them know they're being observed. We don't want to give them any reason to be on their guard.""Absolutely," Luke assured me. "I'll be like a shadow, watching their every move withou
Kayden's POVI and Amelia and our kids are so happy with ourselves.I recall when Amelia and I first met before she became my mate. Now depending on each other has been what helped us strive.The gods definitely had our lives well thought of as they just gave me a partner that substitutes my flaws and does not let my bad side be a point of judging me.In my own way I have tried to balance loving my Amelia and my kids the same way, not letting one party feel less loved than the other.“Honey do you know why I love you so much?” I asked my Amelia.“No,” Amelia replied.“It is because of how well you have proven to love me, and returning to me full heartedly after 3 years it means a lot to me,” I said.“You know I will always do,” Amelia added.When I found out i have kids, I did not really know how to react or behave as a Dad.Being an Alpha has made me think all relationships I have with others should be formal. I faced same issue in my early days in marriage but since I was comfortab
Amelia's POV The night before I was supposed to be taken to the Baroque pack, an unexpected knock came at the back door of the palace. Kayden and I exchanged a short look, our nerves on edge from the events of the past days. Kayden moved to answer it, gesturing for me to stay back. He opened the door slowly, and there stood Alpha Waylen. "Waylen," Kayden growled, stepping protectively in front of me. “How are you here?” He asked sharply. Waylen sighed and rubbed his hands together. "What do you want?" Kayden asked again before Waylen got the opportunity to answer. Waylen raised his hands in a gesture of peace. "I mean no harm. I came bearing a gift."Behind Waylen, the children walked out from behind him, looking unharmed but confused. “Ohhh.” I exclaimed with pleasure. And I pushed past Kayden, rushing to scoop them up in my arms."Mommy!" they cried, their tiny voices screaming as they held me tightly. I hugged them tightly, tears streaming down my face. "You're safe. Th
Amelia's POVKayden had planned a special evening for us. After everything that had happened, he wanted to spend some time alone, away from the pack's responsibilities and the threats. We decided to have dinner at the edge of the pack around the courtyard, a serene spot where we could watch the sunset. The air was crisp, and the sound of rustling leaves added a sweet sound to our quiet conversation.“It's actually quite beautiful how this place is now,” I said looking around. “It seems like I'm seeing everything from a whole new perspective, everything feels so different now.” Kayden smiled, reaching out to hold my hand. “I'm glad things are different now, we need moments like these especially with everything going on.” I nodded, feeling a warmth move through me as I looked into his eyes. “You're right, it's been a tough few days.” We sat there, enjoying the peace and comfort of staying with each other. The sun began to set and the sky turned to shades of orange and pink, I fel
Alpha Kayden's POVI stood in front of the entire pack, I had called for an important meeting. I could feel a sense of responsibility as they stared at me with expectation and curiosity. The morning was still early, a heavy silence Hung in the air, broken only by the rustle of leaves. I walked up and stood on the podium. Beside me was Ramona, standing with her hands cuffed and a smug look on her face. I took a deep breath, feeling that this was coming. "Everyone, look to the podium," I began, my voice echoing across the courtyard. "Before you stand Ramona, a traitor to the Paxon pack."There was a murmur of shock and anger among the crowd. Ramona's eyes spinned around, taking in the hostile stare directed at her. She tried to maintain her composure, but I could see the flicker of fear in her eyes."Ramona planned to leak important secrets to the Bluemoon pack," I continued, my voice steady. "Because she couldn't get her way, she resorted to treachery. She deceived some of our own
Alpha Waylen's POV “Are you okay Alpha?” Luke's voice echoed through the room, interrupting my thoughts. I turned around and he was standing by the doorway, his hands folded and he had a pitiful look on his face. “What?.” I asked sarcastically. “Do you think I'm losing my mind.. going crazy?” I stood up and began to walk towards him.“I..I would never think that Alpha.” He said with a stutter. He began to move backwards, as though I was a monster. I didn't blame him, it was normal. I had killed almost a dozen of my men who were on patrol the night Amelia snuck out to see Alpha Kayden. That was what they deserved for not doing their Jobs properly.“The plan didn't go as you wanted it Alpha.” He whispered under his breath. I was now in front of him. I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. “Don't you think I know that Luke?” I said with a chuckle. “Three werewolves I sent after them and two survived. I knew that was going to happen, it was just a message. They should kno
Alpha Kayden's POV"What's wrong, Julius? What's this about Ramona?" I asked calmly. Anything that had to do with Ramona, meant trouble and I knew that quite well. Julius took a deep breath, his expression serious "It's not something I can explain, Alpha. But I think you need to see this for yourself." He gestured for me to follow him.I hesitated for a moment, glancing back at the window where Amelia slept peacefully. But my sense of duty to my pack was more my personal desires, there were guards protecting Amelia and the kids after all. I turned and followed Julius, my footsteps quick and purposeful.The night was quiet and the only sound one could hear was our footsteps as we walked. We reached a huge door and I knew what usually went in there, it was our torture room. A place that I haven't used in a while. Julius took a deep breath and pulled the door open, he walked in and I followed behind. As I stepped through the threshold, the sight that greeted me sent a chill down my sp
Alpha Kayden's POV“What do we do next?” Amelia asked me quietly as we laid together on the bed. I pushed a stray lock from her face and sighed. “What do you want to do?” I replied. She sighed and pulled away but I held her and dragged her closer to myself. I could smell her, she smelt like heaven. “Don't pull away Amelia.” I pleaded with a smile on my face. “I wouldn't do that.” She whispered softly, trying to hide her happiness. I nodded, pulling Amelia close to me once more. "You're right, we've been apart for far too long. I can't stand the thought of being separated from you any longer." I said, losing myself in her eyes. Amelia blushed, her cheeks flushing with pink. "Kayden, I feel the same way. These past months have been so difficult without you." She reached up, tracing the line of my jaw with her fingertips. I couldn't resist any longer. I leaned in, pressing my lips to hers in a slow, tender kiss. She melted into me, her arms wrapping around my neck. The world fell
Amelia's POVThe moon was now out, its light guiding us through the woods. I took a quick glance at Kayden's body and saw marks all over. I sighed and swallowed hard.I couldn't connect the dots as to why we were attacked. It didn't make sense for Alpha Waylen to attack us when he knew, or was deceived to think that he was outnumbered, and still that wasn't his way, he had honor at least, so there was no way it was him. Kayden pulled me closer to himself, holding me tightly more than usual. I could smell the strong scent of his cologne mixed with the smell of sweat. He looked down on me and smiled, kissing me on my forehead. “We're here.” Alpha Kayden said to me smiling, as he fixed his attention on the crowd of buildings in front of us. The Paxon pack had changed so much, and I could tell by just standing at the gate. I hesitated, slowing down as I did. “Are you okay?” He asked me as he noticed how uncomfortable I looked. I smiled at him, trying not to make everything about m
Amelia's POVI knew I had hurt him, and part of me wished I could go back and make things right. But I had made my choice, and now I had to live with the consequences.Kayden and I walked in silence for a while, trekking through the woods, the only sound was the crunching of leaves beneath our feet. The air was slightly filled with tension and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. After what felt like an eternity, Kayden finally broke the silence."Amelia," he said, his voice soft and gentle. "Are you okay?"I let out a deep sigh, my shoulders slumping slightly, I had been waiting for him to ask. "I- I don't know, Kayden. I'm happy, the happiest person right now, but I also feel so guilty. Waylen kept Freya hostage, and I had the chance to defend her, but I didn't. What if he hurts her?"Kayden reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Amelia, Freya is safe with Waylen for now.” He said confidently. I pulled away from his touch sligh
