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
Alpha Astor’s POV"Babe, calm down. You should know by now that things like that don't scare me anymore. And I know you won't touch me," Rei replied. It was as if she could read my thoughts like an open book.Even though I was seething with anger, I couldn't bring myself to touch her. My feelings for her ran too deep. I was about to speak when I heard a knock on the door."Your Highness, is everything fine?" My werewolf soldiers were all gathered at the entrance of my door, their energy palpable."Yes, we are fine. You can go back to your post," Rei replied on my behalf.I could still sense their reluctance to leave, as they hadn't expected me to become attached to Rei so quickly. When I had announced her as the Luna yesterday, it had come as a shock to them, as they hadn't anticipated that she would hold such a significant role. Even though I knew she hadn't expected it either, and she had assumed my feelings toward her were just flings."You can leave now, I'm fine," I told them, and
Alicia's POVReturning from Alpha Astor's wedding party, which was a bit exhausting, I felt body aches all over. The entire event had left me feeling weak and tired."Honey, can you rub my back?" I pleaded with Ramirez, who was still sleeping. I tapped him gently, and he slowly opened his eyes. He always looked adorable when he did that. Despite being the Alpha outside, he was nothing but my baby when we were together."Sorry, babe, what did you ask me to do?" he inquired, now fully awake. His cuteness compelled me to kiss him."That's for being cute," I replied as he returned the favor with a gentle peck."So, what does my queen want?" he asked with a smile. I guided his hand to my back, and he started rubbing it."Here," I answered, blushing as he chuckled."Okay, you are much cuter than I am. I wish I could be the one carrying the babies," he admitted as he continued to massage my back."For real?" I asked, not expecting such a heartfelt response."For real. But I will always be her
Alpha Alex’s POV"I don't seem to understand what you're trying to tell me, Lily," I said as I gently pushed her away. I was at a loss for words, turning my broad chest away from her. I couldn't bring myself to look at her face in that moment."Wait, Alex, please listen. Let me explain... myself," Lily pleaded, attempting to get out of bed but struggling."Do you really want to explain yourself now, Lily? I thought you loved me?" I asked, feeling as though my heart had been pierced by an arrow."Yes, I loved you, and I still do. Please, just hear me out, okay?" Lily begged, trying to rise from the bed, but her recent surgery made it difficult."Just lie still," I told her as I walked up to her, gently cautioning her. It was hard to believe I still had feelings for her after all she had done."Before you took an interest in me, before the first time we had sex," she began, and I struggled to follow her story."Okay, go on," I stammered as I adjusted myself on the bed."I had a fiancé wi
