Alpha Astor's POV "Are you truly sure that you love me?" Rei inquired of Alpha Astor."That is, if you will not betray me. I'm uncertain about the friend who brought you to my side, but one thing I know is that if you remain loyal and don't betray me, I will love you endlessly. There's a void in my heart that you've filled. Even though we've just met, I want to believe in you. I used to love a woman intensely, and I couldn't get her out of my thoughts. But now, with you in the picture, I feel like I can let her go," I responded to her warmly as I felt myself giving in to her captivating presence. "Make me your Luna," Rei declared, leaving me in shock."Do you think I'd do that so quickly? I mean, we've only just met. Why don't we take the time to get to know each other better, so you can fully understand what you're getting into with me?" I scoffed, gently pulling away from her grip."Make me your Luna, and I'll be yours," Rei replied boldly. Aside from Alicia, who had the audacity t
Alice's POV"Who served this food?" Ramirez inquired, scanning the area for any maids."It's not about who serves the food; I believe it's the babies. Please, assist me up," I shouted at Ramirez, who promptly apologized and helped me to my feet."Summon the werewolf doctor!" I heard Ramirez exclaim to the werewolf soldiers who were present."Yes, Alpha," they replied in unison and hurried out of the palace. "Assist me, will you? Don't just stand there like a fool!" Ramirez shouted at the other werewolf god who stood beside me."I'm so sorry, Your Highness," the werewolf guards apologized as they supported me from behind, and together we made our way to our chamber."Babe, when is the werewolf doctor going to arrive?" I asked, trying to endure the pain caused by the babies nestled in my stomach."Just stay with me, babe. The werewolf doctors should be here any moment now. I just sent some of the guys to fetch him," Ramirez reassured me as he glanced back at the well we were still stand
Alicia's POV"The thing is..." The werewolf doctor locked eyes with me and then with Ramirez, whose hand remained intertwined with mine as we anxiously awaited his revelation."What is it?" I asked, my impatience evident. After all, I'm the one carrying the baby, so I deserve to know."The babies might arrive sooner than expected," the werewolf doctor finally delivered the news. This revelation only intensified my fear. I wasn't prepared for such drama this soon."Do you realize these babies are only three months old?" I inquired, seeking confirmation from the werewolf doctor, who bowed his head and nodded in agreement."Yes, Your Highness. The pain you're experiencing is because their genetics are much more potent than you might think. Even though they are only three months old, their development is unlike any babies I've ever examined. They are well-formed to a certain extent," the werewolf doctor concluded, sending a shiver down my spine.I would soon face my greatest fear, I though
Alpha Alex’s POV"What the heck happened?" I shouted as I looked at the werewolf soldier, whose intestines were already protruding."Your highness, I... need to warn you..." the werewolf soldier stuttered in pain."You know what, stop talking. Get him to safety," I ordered, trying to leave but got stopped by his hand."There's no... time for that... I can't be saved. You have to listen to me," the werewolf soldier replied, vomiting blood, some of which spilled on my body."I was... attacked by the moon... I think the goddess must..." he coughed up more blood. "The goddess has cursed us all... No one should go out at night," the werewolf soldier warned as his eyes dimmed."What do you mean by asking us not to go out at night? I'm the Alpha, and nothing can hurt me, not even my pack. And the moon will obey us," I retorted, finding his words confusing."Under the full moon last night, a battle started, causing... the moon to become red, and the rogue wolves turned against each other. I wa
Alpha Astor’s POVOver the weeks, I had found solace in the arms of Rei, and this had made me forget about Alicia completely. It was as if the goddess had heard my prayer and decided to bless me with Rei. Honestly, I had found peace in her embrace, and I always felt relieved. So, one day I thought to myself that it was time to make it official. I believed it was time to make her my Luna. I called the entire palace, including her, for a meeting. As usual, they all thought I was going to address state affairs and other matters. I wasn't smiling either. When I was sure everyone was present, I began my speech."We have all gathered here today because I requested an audience with you. We know that we face a common enemy, and we must live each day with caution, as we do not know when the witch-werewolf will reveal herself again. But amidst all this, I can confidently say that not all of you here are young. Some of you are married, some are in relationships, and others have families of their
Alicia's POV"We've been attacked!" a battle cry rang out from behind, and suddenly, my face widened. I knew I was right."Save the Luna!" Ramirez's voice echoed. I wasn't afraid of death in any way. Yes, I loved my mate, no doubt. He encouraged me, but sometimes I still found myself pondering over what the werewolf goddess had said. These babies had always been causing me discomfort, but I dared not say it to Ramirez as I didn't want him to worry. Even on our way to the burial, I could feel like pushing the babies out, but they restricted themselves again. Hearing this battle cry from behind was like hearing my death sentence.Astor ran towards my carriage and ordered the werewolf soldiers to let me down, which they did immediately."Listen to me, babe, take the horse and save yourself. The future of the pack is in your hands," Ramirez spoke as he kissed me hard when he realized I was going to stop him."Babe... I can't... leave you... this is not fair!" I shouted as tears rolled down
Alpha Alex’s POV.Over the next few weeks, the palace buzzed with preparations for the wedding. I had extended invitations to Alicia and her pack, as well as Alpha Astor. Since neither of us was pursuing Alicia any longer, and considering that we faced a common enemy, it seemed best for us all to come together and unite."Where's the Luna?" I inquired of the maid who was serving drinks."She is getting dressed, your highness. Please be patient," she replied with a respectful bow.I couldn't say that I didn't trust Lily, but there had been a noticeable change in her behavior since I had announced her as the next Luna.What could be troubling her? Was this the reason she initially rejected my offer to be my Luna? Was someone threatening her? These thoughts swirled in my mind. The wedding had already been announced, and it would make no sense for the Alpha to cancel his first wedding party ever.Many times, I had pretended to be asleep, only to see Lily awake and sneaking out of the bedro
Alpha Alex’s POV."Call the werewolf doctor!" I shouted, watching Ramirez reach out to one of the werewolf soldiers, who promptly bowed their heads and hurried away."Lily, I'm sorry. I was just being paranoid. Please, don't die on me," I begged, regardless of whether Alicia and Ramirez were there or not."I'm sorry, Lily, please," I pleaded, tears streaming down my face."Hey, man, she will be fine. Give me a bit of space; let me check her out," Ramirez reassured me. I looked at him and carefully placed Lily on the floor."Thanks, man," I replied, waiting to see what he would do. Ramirez bent down and pressed his ear against her chest, then raised his head to look at me."What's wrong?" I asked curiously."I can barely feel her heartbeat," Ramirez replied with a somber expression."Hope it's not what I'm thinking?" I inquired, with a concerned look at Ramirez, who glanced at Alicia and back to me."I... wait a minute!" Ramirez said, picking up Lily's hand and feeling her pulse."She's
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
