Rylan’s POV A white wolf. She was beautiful, and I felt like I knew her from somewhere but could not put my finger on it. Who was she? The moon goddess had paired us together for a reason. I was blown away by surprise. A white wolf was rare, and she must have held some power wherever she came from. Daniella whining in my ear was irritating the life out of me. I couldn't believe my brothers convinced me to take her as our mate. Rio was more into her than any of us, so ever since we were small, our parents had believed that the moon goddess would pair us with Daniella due to her being the daughter of the better. It was assumed she would be our Luna. We needed a strong and capable female to work alongside us to lead our pack successfully. My parents had done a grand job of running Creek for all of these years, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps Although Daniella was a beautiful, stunning she-Wolf, I could never pretend she was the one for me.
Eliza’s pov “Mate will be looking for us,” Jasmine told me, but I wasn't going to go back there. Not now. They would kill me if they ever found out that it was me who had harmed Daniella. I never knew that I could be capable of anything like that. Jasmine lay down at the edge of a beautiful stream and took a long-needed drink from it. All the running had exhausted poor Jasmine. There was a small entrance at the edge of the stream that would shelter us for the night. I decided it best to shift back to human to allow my Wolf to rest up for a few hours. I could swim in the stream, and luckily, it was the warmer weather, so that I wouldn't freeze. I waded into the stream, the cool water soothing my weary body. “Hey, what are you doing trespassing on our sacred land?” an angry voice boomed from behind us, causing me to be startled. I turned around slowly, my heart racing with fear and guilt. Standing before us was a large, imposing figure - a member of another pack,
Rylan’s POV “You must have fallen off the idiot tree. I can't believe this rubbish.” Rio shook his head at me as we returned to Creek, still holding Daniella in his arms. She clung to him tightly, burying her face into his neck. His affection for her baffled me, and I couldn't help but think she was pathetic for relying so heavily on him. “It's true. Daniella knows it, too.” I growled, but my brother did not believe me. “Rylan, let's go back and say Daniella is our chosen mate. We know she will be a great Luna. Her beta blood with our alpha blood together will create some strong and wonderful heirs for our pack.” Rio started to say, and I thought he was crazy to think up such nonsense. As I prepared to respond to Rio with a disapproving gaze, our mother's shriek interrupted us. Luna Lara, our magnificent pack luna, appeared at the entrance of the outhouse, her presence commanding. Her eyes scanned each of us, landing on me with a disapproving look that made it clear she w
Rylan’s POV The following day, as the first light of dawn cast a golden glow over Creek, I awoke determined to prove the existence of the White Wolf, my destined mate. My mind raced with thoughts of the mysterious creature and the significance of our connection. My brothers would be sorry for not believing me. Daniella was not worthy to be Luna. She was weak, crying and wrapping herself around Rio like a snake. I would never accept her as anything more than the daughter of my father's beta. Once showered and dressed, I went to the pack's central meeting hall, where the pack's leaders gathered to discuss important matters and make decisions that would shape our future. As I entered the hall, I could feel the weight of their scepticism and judgment hanging in the air, but I stood tall, ready to defend my beliefs.Nobody would succeed in changing my mind. I was sure of that. My father was already there, and he cleared his throat and gazed across at the crowd of members waiting for his
Eliza’s POV "Thank you, Gerald," I replied, trying to keep any nervousness out of my voice. "I am grateful for your hospitality and protection. I have no intention of causing any trouble for your pack." Gerald's expression softened at my words, and he nodded in understanding. "You need not worry, dear Queen. We welcome all wolves needing sanctuary here, regardless of their past affiliations. You are safe here and protected.” With relief, I followed Gerald into the packhouse, Jasmine close behind. The interior was just as magnificent as the exterior, with intricate silver designs adorning the walls and furniture. The air was filled with pine and lavender, creating a calming atmosphere. Gerald led us to a comfortable room with a large, plush bed and a roaring fire. He gestured for us to make ourselves at home and promised to bring us some warm drinks and food soon. As I settled onto the bed, exhaustion washing over me, I couldn't help but wonder what was happening b
Daniella’s POV I couldn’t believe Rylan would even think about denying me, so what if I wasn’t their fated mate? I deserved to be the Luna of Creek. I was the daughter of the Beta. Not only did I have strength, I was a damn good fighter, and everyone here at this pack adored me. Well, all except stupid Eliza. Nobody liked her, but Luna Lara and Alpha Morgan were panicking that they couldn’t find the dumb hoe. She wasn’t important anyway. Yesterday was my birthday, and instead of being swept off my feet by my new mates, I was being attacked by some filthy white wolf that Rylan was now obsessed over. I had to find out who she was and get rid of her before she took my mates and my place as Luna away from me. I was not going to let anyone get in the way of me being the Luna of Creek. I had dreamt of being Luna since I was tiny; nothing meant more than having that title. As I left the woods and headed back home, I decided I would find Rio and get him to have a word
Rylan pov As I watched Daniella's desperate attempt to assert her claim as Luna, a wave of anger and frustration washed over me. How could she be so blind to the true mate bond that connected me to the white wolf? I couldn't stand by and let her manipulate and deceive those around her, especially Rio, who deserved so much more than her false promises and schemes. "Enough, Daniella," I growled, my voice laced with barely contained rage. "You will not manipulate or control those around you to fulfil your selfish desires. The white wolf is my mate, and I will not let you or anyone else come between us." Turning back to Daniella, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for her misguided attempts to claim a title that was never meant to be hers. "You may be the daughter of the Beta, but that does not entitle you to the title of Luna. True strength and leadership come from within, from the heart and soul of a true mate. And that is something you will never understand." Ignoring
Eliza’s POV I followed Gerald down the winding corridors of the packhouse. Despite the grandeur of our surroundings, with intricately carved wooden beams and stained glass windows dappling the floors with kaleidoscopic patterns, I couldn't shake my nervousness. Meeting the Alpha was a pivotal moment that could determine my fate.“Please, don't be worried. He's a highly respected alpha.” Gerald whispered kindly to me, and I responded with a smile. We entered a great hall, the ceiling soaring high above us. At the far end, seated on an ornately carved wooden throne, was the Alpha. He was an imposing figure, broad-shouldered with a thick silver mane and piercing amber eyes. His expression was unreadable as Jasmine and I approached. "Alpha Theron, may I present Eliza and her Wolf companion Jasmine," Gerald announced with a respectful bow. "They have sought sanctuary with our pack."Alpha Theron regarded us for a long moment before rising to his feet. "Ah, the White Wolf girl. Welcome t
### EpilogueThe morning sun filtered through the trees, casting a golden hue across the clearing where the final confrontation had taken place. The air was crisp, fresh, as if nature itself rejoiced at the shift in energy. Eliza sat at the base of a large oak tree, surrounded by her mates—Rylan, Rio, Enzo, and Ed. Together, they had forged an unbreakable bond, not just as lovers but as champions of their people, defenders of their realm.“Can you believe it?” Lila said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “We actually did it. Yelda is gone!” She looked around at the remaining members of their pack who had joined them in the wake of Yelda’s defeat. Though weary, every face radiated relief and courage, a collective spirit united by hope.“Yeah, it feels surreal,” Enzo replied, grinning as he affectionately nudged Lila. “Guess we turned the tide after all.”“Thanks to Eliza,” Rylan said, his gaze lingering on her with admiration. “You showed everyone what true strength looks like.”Eliz
Eliza's POV "Kill us?" I sneered. "You have no power to do such a thing. I know my mates are here. I can feel them." I wagged a finger at Yelda and saw the flicker of uncertainty cross her withered face. She looked at me and threw her head back, laughing loudly, causing her stupid followers to step back in confusion. I saw the way that they exchanged looks and hesitated. "I am the white wolf; I am the royal Princess. You have no say over me. My father is the king." I continued to spout, finding my confidence flush over me. "That is right. She is the Princess, the white wolf, and our mate. We are hers." Four familiar voices shouted in unison, and I smiled, knowing my mates were with me. I did not need to look behind me to see that I was fully backed up. I felt Jasmine howl in the back of my mind. I held my hands and closed my eyes tightly as my mates stood beside me and joined hands. We formed a circle of strength, an unbreakable bond tethered by love and loyalty. My heart
Ed’s POV My heart hurt, and I felt a tight ache in my chest as I fought to pry my eyes open. The world was shrouded in a dim haze, but as I blinked against the dimness, a familiar figure came into focus. Eliza’s beautiful face floated before me, radiant even in this murky world. “Eliza,” I called out, a hoarse whisper barely piercing the quiet. But as the clarity settled in, I realised she wasn’t there. My heart sank, disappointment crashing over me like icy waves. This was just a figment of my mind, a desperate dream conjured from the depths of my longing.Confusion tangled with grief, leaving me disoriented and unsettled. Where was I? What had happened? I tried to push myself up but found my limbs heavy as if weighed down by invisible chains. Panic surged through me, fluttering in my chest like a frantic bird desperate to escape its cage.I scanned my surroundings, the muted light casting long shadows. The walls around me appeared rough, crumbling concrete that groaned under the w
Rylan’s POV I felt my heart nearly stop as recognition washed over me, a cold sweat breaking out on my skin. The voice was unmistakable; it was deep and authoritative, sending chills down my spine. It belonged to someone I had once considered a friend, trained alongside during those grueling days of alpha training. “Rylan,” Lila whispered, her breath hot against my ear. “What’s happening? Who was that?” “It's him,” I said, barely able to keep my voice steady. “Marcus. He was—he was with us during training. He went dark...said he’d do anything for power.” “Who?” Lila pressed, her eyes wide with fear. “He was one of the strongest prospects,” I explained, recalling his fiercely competitive nature and the way he had pushed everyone to their limits. “But something changed. He wanted power, and I thought he’d fallen off the radar. Now… he’s here, leading the very intrusion that could destroy everything we’ve fought for.” “Then we can’t get caught,” Daniella whispered urgently. “
Rylan’s POV I felt the weight of his words crash over me like a wave. Grayson and Lila—a bond forged in the fires of loyalty and love. It made sense, but we now didn't have time to unpack that realisation. Not when danger lurked beyond the door, and chaos threatened to engulf us. “Grayson, please!” I urged desperation creeping into my voice. “We can’t just leave you to fight alone!” Enzo stepped forward, determination etched across his face. “You’re outnumbered, Grayson! We’re stronger together. We can figure this out!” The door shuddered again, and approaching footsteps pounded against my ears. Grayson’s eyes locked onto mine, fierce and resolute. “There’s no time! Get Lila out of here. I’ll buy you some time—go!” I hesitated, torn between my instincts to protect my pack and the agonising urgency of Lila’s situation. “Grayson, I—” “Stop! We don’t have the luxury of debate,” he snapped, his voice cutting through my tumultuous thoughts. “You have to trust me. The moment those c
Rylan's POV I stepped further into the room, senses hyper-alert, scanning for any sign of danger. The figure lay still, and for a heartbeat, I feared someone might need our help—or worse, succumbed to whatever wrath had brought us here. "Stay behind me," I instructed softly, keeping my voice steady even as adrenaline surged through my veins. As I edged closer to the figure, I could finally make out the familiar features of my brother, Enzo. His face was pale, and his usually vibrant blue eyes were closed, but there was no mistaking him. Relief and dread mixed in my gut like a heavy poison. "Enzo!" I called, my voice stronger now. My brother stirred slightly, a groan escaping his lips as he slowly opened his eyes, squinting against the dim light. "Rylan?" he croaked, confusion flickering across his expression. "What's going on? Where are we? Where is Rio and Ed? I rushed to his side, dropping to my knees next to him. "I don't know, but I'm glad you're here. We need to get
Rylan’s POV “What the heck happened?” I rubbed my head and blinked a few times. I was surrounded by darkness. “Rylan?” Daniella called out and I could sense her fear and relief from her tone. “What’s is going on? Where are we?” She started to get hysterical. “Daniella, I have no idea.” I shouted back. My voice was loud and echoey. I guessed that we were in a big room but I couldn’t work out where. My mind was blank. Where was my brothers and my pack? Daniella was here but still remained the question of how and why? “Where is everyone?” I said out loud. “Rylan something bad is happening, isn’t it?” Daniella started to whine and I couldn’t be bothered to deal with her right now. I needed to find a way out out of this place. “Daniella, focus!” I snapped, trying to shake off the fog that clouded my mind. “We need to keep calm. We can’t let panic take over.” But even as I said it, I felt the knot of worry tightening in my stomach. “Right, okay, calm,” she murmured,
Eliza’s POV My blood boiled at the sight, infusing me with a raw, uncontained rage that eclipsed everything else. “THERON!” I howled, my voice filled with desperation and fury. It shattered the air around us, reverberating with primal energy. As if my scream had triggered something, I charged forward, a blur of fur and fangs, desperation propelling me. The world narrowed to that intense moment, each heartbeat a drum calling me to action. I could feel Jasmine stirring again, the need to protect a power surging through us, binding us in our shared purpose. In an instant, I leapt, agile and relentless, my claws outstretched. The black wolf turned its attention to me, its glowing eyes narrowing. But it was too late—I collided with it, knocking it off Theron. The force of my assault sent the beast sprawling back into the shattered glass, sparks of fury igniting from my body as I fought to assert my dominance. “Get up!” I shouted at Theron, my voice fiercely determined. Momentarily
Eliza’s POV “Yelda?” I gasped, unable to believe she was standing in front of me. What had she done? The smirk on her face said it all. “What have you done to my alpha mates? You bitch.”I could feel my anger boiling over as Yelda's smirk grew wider. Jasmine, my wolf, was stirring, sensing my distress and ready to take control. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but it was useless. The sight of Yelda, her eyes gleaming with malice, was enough to push me over the edge."Tell me what you've done with my mates," I growled, my voice low and menacing. Theron's hand on my shoulder was a cautionary reminder to keep my emotions in check, but I was beyond reason.Yelda chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "Oh, Eliza, you're so predictable. Do you think you can waltz in here and demand answers? I've been waiting for you, and now that you're here, you'll play by my rules."I snarled, baring my teeth. Jasmine was rising to the surface, and I could feel my body beginn
