Alpha Alex's POV It's been a long time since my Luna came. She is small and really pretty, I have to admit. But honestly, I don't feel drawn to her. She actually makes me feel uncomfortable, and I don't like her attitude either. Just as they say, when you mention something, it happens. It's only a few days until her crowning ceremony, and the advisors are constantly bothering me to get close to her. "Hey there," Isabella greeted, interrupting my thoughts."Why are you here?! I told the guards to keep you inside until the coronation day!" I shouted, making the guards rush in and lower their heads in front of me."Your Highness, we couldn't stop her. She just hurt one of the guards," the soldiers said with their heads down, shaking."You hurt one of my followers? Who gave you the courage? You're not even my Luna yet, and you believe you can act freely, huh?" I asked, pointing at her angrily. My anger made me shift slightly into my wolf form."I also…" Isabella's words were interrupt
Alpha Alex's POVI wished I could see her, but I can't go to the prison since my guards are watching. I know they're waiting for me to make a mistake so they can plan against me, and I won't let that happen. Just as I was thinking this, I heard a knock on the door and my soldiers started rushing around."Your Highness, we need your attention," a guard said suddenly at my door. I hadn't even had a chance to get comfortable in bed, so I hurriedly put on my jacket and zipped it up. I opened the door almost immediately, causing the soldier's hand to hang on the door."What do you want at this time of day?" I asked, glaring at the soldier with anger. I was relieved I hadn't fallen asleep yet; otherwise, I would have been even more furious and might have attacked him before asking other soldiers for an explanation about why they interrupted my sleep."Your mistress..." he paused, glancing at my face."What happened to her?" I asked, my eyes locking onto his."She's missing? What do you mean
Alicia's POVI carefully put the iron I was holding back in its place, and a wave of regret washed over me for having raised my hand against the stranger I had only just encountered."I apologize sincerely," I said, noticing that he hadn't made any aggressive move. Despite my anger, fatigue, and weariness, I acknowledged that the bond between mates was still there. In an instant, I sensed that he felt it too."No, no, it's alright. Don't worry. I can see you've been through a tough time. We can address the issue of trust later," the stranger reassured me. I found myself gazing at him, captivated by his calm demeanor, which was unlike anyone I had ever met before."Are you usually this way?" I inquired as I sat down on the bed gently."I'm not sure I understand. What were you expecting?" he asked, catching me off guard. I stared back, amazed at how someone could remain so composed, even after I had just accidentally hit him with a candle stand."I mean... I thought you might hit me bac
Alicia's POV I knew that my life was going to change a lot when he kissed me with his wet lips. Even though I wanted him like I had thought before, I tried not to let it happen, so I could be certain I wasn't doing something wrong."Wait...please stop," I said, and right away he stopped without pressuring me."I'm really sorry... I didn't intend to... I..." he said nervously, his left hand staying on my waist, and his eyes fixed on mine. I could see his eyes were filled with heat and desire."No... It's not... I just..." I stumbled over my words and quickly moved to kiss him back. This time, it wasn't quick. I didn't notice when his tongue met mine as he kissed me.I put my hand on his chest softly and felt his heart beating slowly, while he tried to unzip my jacket. He stopped kissing my lips and instead moved to my neck, causing me to let out a short but sudden sound."Ah... Ramirez..." I let out a sound of pleasure as his touch made my legs feel a little shaky. In that moment, I f
Alicia's POV"Well, well, well, look who's here," my stepbrother jeered, his laughter filled with malice. Tears welled up in my eyes as I gazed at him. I had hoped Ramirez would be different, but he turned out just like them. I wondered why the Moon goddess would have chosen three Alphas as my mates.It was overwhelming, something I struggled to accept. Returning to my kingdom at this hour wasn't the right choice. Being here now only meant one thing – my life was in grave danger."Mother, she's arrived," my stepbrother announced, his laughter dripping with malice."Ah, welcome back, dear. I never realized you were still so easily fooled," she taunted, her laughter filled with scorn. Frustration and a sense of foolishness surged within me as I glanced at Ramirez, who couldn't meet my gaze.Deep down, I knew that if Alpha Astor and Alpha Alex received my plea for help, despite their slow pace here, one of them would reach me before any harm came my way. Ramirez had not only been decepti
Alicia's POV I wished my parents were alive to see my beautiful wedding. It was really nice. I stood next to Ramirez as he made me his Luna, and the rest of the pack showed their respect by bowing to me. Alpha Astor and Alpha Alex, who used to be my mates, resolved their problems and came to my wedding, leaving their past disagreements behind. "I'm very honored to be here," Alpha Astor said to everyone. "I hurt this beautiful lady standing here. I feel really sorry, and I know she deserves happiness." He walked up to me, took my hand, and looked into my eyes. "Alicia, can you forgive me?" He didn't want to let go of my hand. "I forgive you, Astor. They are all part of my past, and if it weren't for my stepmother's cruelty, I wouldn't be here today. It was a privilege to know you," I replied. I watched as he kissed my hand gently, then bowed before letting go and walking up to my mate, Ramirez. I could see the joy on his face. If they were looking for the happiest man on the planet
Alicia's POVRamirez hurriedly got dressed and left. Once he was gone, I felt lost, unsure of what to do.I sat on the bed feeling like everything was going wrong, watching everyone else in a rush. Then, a thought struck me. I went to the mirror and fixed my hair, which was still messy from last night. I got dressed and tied up my hair quickly.I rushed out of the room, thinking only of returning to my old kingdom, which wasn't in ruins anymore. Everyone there, including my stepmother and her son, had been killed.As I was about to leave the palace, someone spoke up, "Where are you going without the guards?" I turned and saw Ramirez. I had intended to go on my own because I knew he might not want me to return there. I've been thinking a lot about whether my stepmother really died that day. But I'm quite certain that Alpha Alex stabbed her and she bled from her stomach before she died. However, now that no one can explain the reason for all the killings, it's really concerning.I felt
Alicia's POVRamirez hurriedly got dressed and left the room in a rush. The atmosphere was very tense, and it felt like everyone was extremely worried.I'm afraid of my stepmother and the things she might do. I really don't know what her plans are this time, but I'm certain she won't stop until she gets her revenge.I can't be sure if my stepbrother is still alive, but what I do know is that there won't be any peace in this kingdom or the other kingdoms. We've angered someone powerful, and it's going to cause trouble for all of us.I got dressed in a hurry and went after Ramirez. Neither of us had a chance to bathe since morning, and now we were dealing with another unexpected problem.I had a feeling that my life after getting married wouldn't be as easy as the stories I'd read. It was turning out to be quite different."Wait, Ramirez. Can you tell me what's happening?" I asked the werewolf soldier who was coming toward me."The Alpha, Alex, wants to meet you and Ramirez," the werewo
RAMIREZ’S POV"Werewolf pack of Hamattain pack!" I shouted at the top of my voice, and they all responded with cheers, raising their fists."Tonight we stand firm!" I repeated as they chorused after me, "We stand firm!""Tonight, we can't be shaken!" they shouted, "Yes!""We are not scared of the werewolf witch," I added."Because tonight's victory is ours!" I shouted as they all echoed. We marched down to Alicia's stepmother's abode. It was time to kill the villain who had threatened us all, the one who had killed my mate. I knew that with her gone, the coming generation would know peace.It took us a day and one night to arrive at our destination. What I saw amazed me. It was as if she had been waiting for our arrival. I saw Kael, my son, standing beside her, a wicked smile on his face. I was quite sure he couldn't recognize me."Kael!" Leo shouted as he was about to approach him, but I pulled him back."He's not your brother anymore. That is the beast that will destroy the world".
RAMIREZ’S POVIt was the saddest day of my life in the Hamattain pack. Never had I wished that Alicia would die before me. If anyone were to die, it should have been me. I held her tightly to my chest as sorrowful tears rolled down my face, knowing that I would never see her again. Astor's hand rested on my shoulders, comforting me, while Lily also offered her support. After everything she had been through, she definitely didn't deserve to die. I was so torn. I carried her lifeless body as I approached the royal palace, and silence enveloped every corner of the castle. Even the pack, having heard her voice and her last wish, was in awe when she suddenly passed away.Although I and others had known beforehand that she wouldn't survive, as the werewolf doctor had told us she had only a limited time left, her passing still came as a painful shock when it happened so suddenly after she opened her eyes."Alicia, you didn't deserve this. You weren't supposed to leave this world. I hadn't e
Alicia's POV:As I gradually awoke, I noticed that everything had returned to a state of calm. The urge to get out of bed was strong, but a firm hand kept me in place.My vision was hazy, and a distant voice reached my ears."You need to stay still. Moving will open the wound again," Ramirez cautioned, and I obediently settled back into the bed.I clutched my throbbing head, my memory slowly returning. I recalled arguing with my mate, Ramirez, defending him passionately before collapsing to the floor. That was where my recollection ended. The last thing I remembered was thinking about Kael."Where are Kael and Leo?" I inquired, my tone filled with concern, while Ramirez appeared hesitant to respond to my question. His reluctance sent shivers down my spine because I remembered the warning about Kael possibly turning into the beast.The prophecy had begun to unfold, but I had prevented him from harming his father. Maybe I could truly change the prophecy, perhaps I could avert the dreadf
Alicia’s POVKael and Leo have grown up to be remarkably handsome, and to our surprise, they have turned out to be exceptionally well-behaved children.Today is their twenty-second birthday, and I couldn't be happier for my mate and myself. My stepmother has been attempting to breach the magical barrier that has kept us safe within the Hamattain pack, but she has been unsuccessful.I've always emphasized to the kids the importance of not leaving the palace without my consent, and they have adhered to this rule diligently. They are so identical that if not for the chains on their wrists, it would be very difficult to tell them apart."Mom," Kael called out, and I glanced at his wrist before responding."Did you just glance at my wrist? Are you as puzzled as others?" Kael questioned, and I quickly shook my head in denial."No, sweetheart, I was checking to see if you're feeling well and ready for the party," I fibbed. Over time, Kael had shown tendencies toward aggression, and I couldn'
Alicia's POV"Alicia, you are all we have left. Please, you need to save us," Lily implored, tears streaming down her face."You must take this, your grace," Lex handed Lily the golden chain that had been given to him by Alex. She accepted it, her eyes brimming with tears."He said you should put it on his baby's neck. Whether it's a boy or a girl, always tell them that Daddy cares," Lex replied, bowing his head."Why? Can't he come here himself? Can't he bring the entire werewolf pack?" Lily suggested, gazing at Lex, who appeared weary."I'm afraid, your grace, he can't. The entire werewolf pack has been completely wiped out, and he's left with only a few people," Lex explained, coughing severely."Is there anyone out there?" I called out, and a werewolf soldier came running, immediately bowing to me."Get him some water, a change of clothes, food, and a place to rest," I ordered the werewolf soldier, who raised his head only to bow again before assisting Lex, and they both left promp
Alicia’s POVRamirez and I gazed at Lily, who was breathing heavily and appeared exhausted. I still held my babies as the ceremony continued when she entered. I entrusted the other baby, Leo, to my mate, and hurriedly made my way over to Lily."Goddess! What happened?!" I asked, shock evident on my face, and all the onlookers watched. I assisted her in sitting down on a chair."Get me a cup of water, and don't just stand there!" I commanded one of my werewolf soldiers, who were all observing the situation."Yes, your grace," one of them bowed and promptly left. He returned with a cup of water, which I handed to Lily. We all watched as she drank it without hesitation, and then she requested more."Take her to the guest's room. We'll catch up with you, Lily, once we're finished," I instructed, observing the werewolf soldier gently guiding her toward the palace hallways. I wondered what had led Lily to this state. I had believed that Alex had changed his ways, but now I questioned what ha
Alpha Astor's POVWas it the Moon Fury again? I asked myself, struggling to grasp the situation. Could Alicia's stepmother be behind this, or was it the work of the werewolf witch who had a knack for causing chaos at will?Rei returned with a look of shock on her face, mirroring the surprise and confusion that had enveloped us all. The sudden transition from broad daylight to complete darkness forced us to light lamps to see one another."Inform all the werewolf soldiers to stand their posts. We need to be vigilant and prepared for anything," I instructed my werewolf soldier captain, who promptly bowed and hurried off to relay my orders."What in the world is happening, Rei?" I asked, hoping she might have some insight."Goddess! I thought you had worked closely with your master before her passing. Hasn't she ever unleashed something like this?" I inquired, but Rei's memory appeared hazy."I don't recall anything like this," she replied."So, you're suggesting we remain idle? This is d
Alpha Astor’s POVRei and I had been living peacefully for the past three months, and I hadn't seen anyone who resembled Alicia's stepmother. Despite my lingering suspicion that she might still be out there, we decided not to back down.It had been a challenging month, and Rei and I hadn't found much time for intimacy. The last time I saw her in the garden, she was badly wounded, and I feared I might lose her. Thankfully, I managed to summon the werewolf doctor, who treated her promptly."Hey, honey, you look tired," Rei said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and settled onto my lap."So, you're not in pain anymore?" I asked, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, especially if she wanted to be intimate."Mmmm..." She touched her stomach, her gaze shifting before meeting mine. "No, baby, I think I'm okay now. I've missed you."Since the Moon Fury incident, we hadn't heard from Alicia, and there was even talk of her attending our wedding. However, we chose not to invite many guests
Alicia's POVI woke up feeling completely healthy and refreshed. It seemed like I had drifted off to sleep while talking to Ramirez. When I glanced beside me, I realized his hand was still holding mine. I gently stroked his hair, enjoying the sight of his peaceful slumber. Observing his calm face was something I cherished. I continued this for over twenty minutes before regaining my composure. There was no denying that Ramirez was a remarkable young man, and any woman would be fortunate to have him as a mate. I considered myself lucky to have ended up with the best.I turned my gaze to the left and noticed that one of the baby's eyes was open, but he was merely amusing himself by sucking his finger. The other baby, with the golden chain, remained tranquil and fast asleep. I could see a reflection of myself in him. Amidst these thoughts, my mind drifted back to Melicia. I wished I could see her at that moment, and tears rolled down my face."What do I do now? Is my mate going to die as
