After Nathan left, the entire room became silent. All the Alpha's stood around the ruined oak table, looking at Carter expectantly. Carter took deep breaths to control his anger. He never expected his uncle would compare him with David. Carter proved he is not like his father time and again. But Nathan spoke without thinking, which made him furious. But as an Alpha, he cannot lose his temper like that. He wanted to punch someone, namely his uncle, but he reined in his emotions and presented a blank face in front of the Alphas. "I invited all of you here to inform you about something important" he began. All the Alpha's looked at Carter with curiosity and respect. After the way he scared David off the Blue moon pack, Carter earned all of their respect. Despite being young, he is rightfully the powerful Alpha of a powerful pack. "Very well, what do you want to tell us?" One of the Alpha's asked. Carter looked at everyone intently. He knows who can be trusted and who cannot be. He c
David on the other hand is on his hands and knees in the middle of the forest, which is a little farther away from the Blue Moon pack. He thought Carter would come after him and he planned to kill his son with the help of his allies because he understood it's not easy to defeat his son alone. But his plan failed and Carter never bothered to come after him. What is more shocking is that now David turned into a rogue. He could feel the emptiness in his mind as all of his pack members began to disconnect from him and get connected to Carter. As wolves are pack beings, they like to live in packs and need an Alpha for guidance. David cannot feel anyone. The thought that his son turned him into a rogue is a sour pill to swallow. "It cannot be. He cannot turn me into a rogue. Me, the might David Black can never turn into a homeless pathetic rogue wolf" he growled.He never gave much credit to Carter. After defeating him a decade ago, David thought his son is a mouse just like his mother.
Carter closed his door on his Beta's face when Ajax told him how many men wanted to court Riley. He is jealous and he is angry. He doesn't want to share Riley, but at the same time, he doesn't want to accept her either. He knows he should let her go. That is what is best for both of them. But just the thought of sending her away is making him feel empty inside.'You don't want our God-gifted mate. But you are not willing to let her live her own life either. What do you want? We are destined to suffer alone for as long as we live. But why are you making her suffer along with us?' Carter's wolf demanded.Carter rubbed his temples tiredly.'I don't know. It must be the mating bond which is making me feel possessive. But I am trying to push her away. If I bully her regularly and make her hate me, then she would push me away and find someone else to love. Then I don't have to let her go, she will leave herself. She will never look behind again. She will be happy to get rid of him. I am wor
The next morning when Riley woke up, the place beside her on the bed is empty. She perked her ears to hear if the man who slept beside her last night is still in his quarters. When nothing but silence greeted her, she understood that he left for the day.'Damn it, I thought of talking to him about my living arrangements. But I overslept' she thought with a disappointed frown.The sun is shining brightly, indicating that she should hurry up. She looked at the time and jumped out of her bed to rush to the training area. She has been instructed by the pack gamma that she should come and train every day, which is a must for the pack warriors. "Damn it, it's five past seven and I am supposed to be there by seven" she thought with a frown and hastily cleaned up and got dressed in the first pair of training clothes she could find. Her training gear is simple black shorts and a black tank top. She hurried to the training area and by the time she reached it, it was already seven-fifteen. Ever
"Justin" Carter snapped at his Gamma for ignoring his duties and flirting with women. He is furious that Justin is flirting with nonother than Riley. If it is anyone other than Riley, he might not have lost his cool like this. But the image of Riley underneath another man is something that is making him unsettled and angry. Justin moved away from Riley and stood up to his feet and Riley followed suit. Justin is worried that he might have offended his Alpha by joking around with Riley. Even though he doesn't hold any ill intentions for her, the position they were seen by their Alpha is compromising, especially with Riley who belongs to Carter. "Greetings Alpha" he greeted Carter and bowed his head with submission. Riley on the other hand didn't bother to greet Carter. Instead, she faced him head-on with her confident gaze clashed with his furious one. She did nothing wrong and she doesn't have to be scared of anyone. Upon the arrival of their Alpha, all the warriors who have been t
Riley is angry that Carter keeps poking his nose in her business. She was just training and having a little fun with the pack gamma. She did nothing that needed to be explained to the pack Alpha. She saw the other warriors having a little fun while training. But Carter didn't find anything wrong with them. But he made it his mission to provoke and irritate her."Listen, you marked me and made me your pack member. I will respect you as the Alpha of this pack within limits. But what you did today is not something I appreciate" she snapped. But she only received silence from his end, which is making her angry. He wanted her to explain her actions, but he is refusing to explain his caveman tendencies. He is ignoring her and typing something on his laptop. Riley is so angry that she wanted to strangle Carter. In her anger, she forgot to block him from reading her mind. So when she imagined him hanging in the air with a noose around his neck, he could help but laugh at the image. Riley i
Every member in a pack has their designated duties. Warriors are expected to train and defend the pack. While omegas work as maids, cooks etc, for which they will get paid, just like the warriors would be paid for their services. Every pack will be having a designated sum of capital which is invested in companies or shares to increase the base capital in the form of profits. The investment decisions will be taken by an Alpha, who will pay his warriors and the omegas for their services. The capital is the sum which is invested by the Alpha's families. More capital equals to a larger and a wealthy pack. The blue moon pack is one of the biggest and the richest packs in the world. It is also the strongest pack with powerful warriors. Sophie was waiting for her friend Riley from the moment she was called in by the Alpha during the morning training sessions. Sophie is an omega. Like in any other pack, the Blue moon pack also have some people who would look down upon omegas as nothing but
Carter has a meeting which is scheduled by his beta in another half an hour. After making sure that the contract is foolproof, he made a couple of copies of the contract which they are going to sign with a big company today. The CEO of the company is a human. Just like all the humans, even this one is a little wary and sceptical about the shifters. So far the humans and the shifters have lived peacefully. They usually keep to themselves and will not interfere in other people's business. Humans never venture into the shifter territory. The shifters who live among the humans mostly keep their identity a secret and live there abiding by the human rules. The human companies do business with the shifter packs because the shifters are stronger and faster than the humans and the shifters can achieve tasks which are impossible for humans."This company which we are going to sign a contract with today is into dealing with radioactive materials. We are not as affected by radioactive substances
After one week, Riley is nervously sitting near her vanity. She is wearing a beautiful off-shoulder white dress, which reaches her ankles. The dress has stone detailing near the bodies. It is a pretty fishtail dress, which hugs her curves to her thighs before flowing down. Her ears have studded blue diamond earrings. Sophie styled her hair into a fancy bun, which is sitting on the nape of her neck. Her makeup is minimal and to the point. Today is the day when she will be formally announced as the Blue moon packs Luna and as Carter Black's mate. Today is the day when she is going to exchange vows with Carter. Her mind wandered back to the day when she was brought here as a captive. So much has happened since that day. David troubled them to the point where everyone celebrated after he died. David couldn't survive more than a day with the wolf's bane darts embedded inside his body. He experienced every pain he inflicted upon others. No one actually felt bad for him. "You ready
By the time Carter and Daniel reached the cave, they found it empty. But Riley's scent is still strong, indicating that she was here until a few minutes ago. "Where is she?" Carter asked anxiously. Her strong scent is like a salve to his aching bruised heart. It is making him relaxed and now he is sure that she is safe. Daniel is feeling guilty for causing so much grief for his daughter and her mate. "I am sorry. This is all my fault. I assumed you would as bad as your Father. So I gave her an ultimatum to choose between us. I think she must have gone back to the Blue moon pack. Looks like she chose you" he confessed. Carter looked at his father-in-law with a sad smile. He cannot fault him for assuming the worst about him. He lost his wife, all thanks to David. "It doesn't matter. I know you are trying to look out for Riley. I am happy that she got you back. She missed you a lot when she thought you are no more. I promise to cherish your daughter for as long as I live" he promis
'She would lose her life alone in the forest 'David's taunting words made Carter depressed and angry at everyone. He doesn't know where Riley is and based on what David said, he injured her deeply to the point that she lost a lot of blood. He witnessed her blood in the forest. He know she must be feeling weak even though she could heal. But David is making it look like that Riley is at the edge of losing her life. Carter is depressed and slipped into the back of his mind, willingly giving up his control to his wolf. He doesn't want to face the reality. He doesn't want to live in a world where there is no Riley. He is buried under the burden of his regrets.'If only I could have protected more carefully. If only I could have killed David soon, then I could have had a chance to play with my pups and live happily with my Riley' he thought with anguish and guilt.Ajax saw Carter losing control over his beast. "Alpha, don't listen to him. Don't forget that we can still feel our Luna. Sh
Carter followed after David's scent and reached the Crescent moon pack. Ajax could sense David's presence near the Crescent moon pack. David's scent is still strong, making them believe that he is still inside the pack.'Warriors, we found David in the Crescent moon pack. Come here and surround the pack ' Ajax called his warriors through the pack link. Carter and his wolf on the other hand have only one thing on their mind.'Find Riley. David knows where they are, so if we confront him, we can locate our mate ' His mind kept repeating the same thing, and his wolf agrees with the man. As one, they are now dead set to hunt David to save their mate. David walked out of the pack house wearing nothing. He cranked his neck and flexed his throbbing fists. But froze when he came face to face with his son.Carter's wolf growled with anger when he caught sight of David. His wolf did not waste any time or gave him any opportunities to David so that he could escape. He lunged at David and claw
Carter sniffed the air around the area where Ronan was killed. He let his senses direct him. Just like he expected, he caught a faint scent of David. "I know it. He is waiting and watching us. He must have come to see how miserable I am without my mate. He shouldn't have touched her. Now he has to face the consequences" Carter sneered angrily. Ajax is closely observing his Alpha. He is worried about how feral and unhinged Carter is turning into. His beast is taking over, pushing the man behind. If his wolf takes over completely, he will lose all sense of logic and would turn into a rogue. 'Oh, dear goddess, Carter seems to love Riley too much. Their mating bond will already pull them closer but looks like their love is stronger than their mating bond. If we could not locate Riley soon, we will lose him to his wolf. I might never be able to come out of my grief if my bond with my gifted mate is this strong ' he thought. Carter followed after David's scent, which is still fresh and
In the Blue moon pack, Carter and his warriors along with the warriors from James' pack and Christian's pack were ready to hunt David. "All of you divide into four groups and go in four different directions. First, begin your search for the Blue moon pack perimeters. I am sure you can find some useful leads to move forward in the right direction. Don't stop until you find him or unless I tell you to. Now go and find your Luna" Carter addressed sharply.He did not wait for anyone. He shifted into his wolf form and ran in the direction of the pack perimeter, specifically toward the area where David killed Ronan. He knows David must have left some clues which be useful to find David.Ajax, James, Christian, and Justin looked at Carter worriedly."Justin, you lead a section of our warriors. I will go with the Alpha. We should not leave him alone when he is like this" Ajax instructed Justin and raced after Carter. A few of their warriors joined Ajax to help their Alpha.In the Cave, slowl
In the Blue moon pack, Carter is in a very bad mood and he is enraged. He couldn't trace his mate and failed to connect with her through the pack link and she is not even responding to their mating bond. But he can sense that she is still alive."I think David has done something to make her lose her conscience. That's the only reason I could think of why our Luna stopped responding to us. If we find David, then I am sure we can find her as well" Ajax shared his opinion.Carter is fuming. His worry for his mate and their unborn child is adding fuel to his anger, which is scaring everyone in the pack. Alpha James and Alpha Christine heard about what happened. They too volunteered to help Carter to find his mate. Even though both of them are the Alpha of their respective packs, Carter's anger is scaring them as well.An Alpha who is powerful is someone they should respect and with whom they should tread carefully. But if the same Alpha is enraged, then everyone will be scared. That is wh
David pulled the Wolfsbane dart out of his body. As Daniel is beyond weak, he couldn't pierce the dart deeper inside Davids's body. But just a shallow scratch from the dart froze David for more than ten minutes. After he removed the dart, he howled with anger. Daniel and Riley who are trying to run away from David froze with shock. "Dad, it's David. Looks like he is angry. He is going to come after us. We have to run faster" Riley urged her dad. But Daniel is weak and he knows that he cannot outrun David, even though they had a ten minutes head start. "Riley, I cannot run. I will slow you down as well. You run and save your life. I will try to stop him" he negotiated, feeling tired. Riley looked at the forest around them feeling helpless. "No dad, I cannot leave you here. I thought I lost you too. But the goddess has given me another chance. Leaving you here is impossible. I cannot lose you when I just got you back. Let's run. We might find some help" she urged him. Daniel and
Riley followed the location pin she received from Ronan's mobile. She frowned when she realized that she is closer to the Crescent moon pack, but still far away from the pack territory."This place is not used by anyone. Why did Ronan come here in the first place?" she began to suspect.As she moved farther into the woods, her suspicion began to grow stronger. She stopped half a mile away from the place where the pin is located on the maps."What am i doing? Coming like this without telling anyone is not safe. Especially now that i am carrying our pup. I cannot risk the life of the baby like this" she thought and decided to turn back. But she couldn't abandon her father."What if my father is truly alive? What if something happens to him if i don't go there now?" she became conflicted. The life she is carrying inside her womb and the man who raised her are like two corners that are pulling her in two different directions."What should i do now?" she thought with confusion.She looked
