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
Alpha Astor's POV I woke up this morning and immediately noticed that everything was far from normal. Beside me, Rei still lay fast asleep. To avoid disturbing her, I carefully dressed and put on my boots before quietly leaving the room.Upon entering the corridor, I couldn't help but notice the eerie silence. It was highly unusual for my werewolf soldiers to leave the palace unguarded. "Hello? Is anybody there?" I called out, but all that greeted me was the echo of my voice. As the Alpha that I am, I could sense that danger was lurking nearby.I rushed back to the room to check on Rei, finding her still sound asleep. I couldn't leave her alone, knowing that the palace was in peril. I urgently tapped her."Rei, we are in danger. Babe, I need you to wake up!" I urgently exclaimed. Rei quickly sprang to her feet, rubbing her eyes gently, her face filled with concern as she looked at me, my troubled expression evident."What's going on?" Rei inquired, her concern growing as she gently s
Alicia’s POVAfter a series of intense fights, I managed to wound my stepmother's side, causing her to escape. I couldn't continue fighting due to the physical strain of carrying two powerful werewolf babies inside me. Exhaustion was taking its toll, and I let out a loud growl, causing the building to collapse. The werewolf goddess, who had been the source of my newfound strength, detached from me. Suddenly, everything fell into silence, including the battle cries that had echoed around.I collapsed onto the floor, but the werewolf goddess provided me with support using her spiritual presence, preventing me from falling."She's gone," the werewolf goddess declared with a smile. I was the only one who had grown tired; she was not a physical being but a spirit, unable to be drained like me."Thank you, Melica. I won't forget your assistance," I replied, appreciating her help."As I've always said, I'm your guardian, and my role is to protect you from failure. Remember, if you fail, I won
Alicia’s POVIt has been three months since the incident with the werewolf witch who revealed herself in the palace and attempted to attack me. The memory of that event still haunts me, and I can't forget what transpired. My baby displayed incredible powers, just as the werewolf goddess had always foretold."I can't believe how strong our babies must be," Ramirez remarked as he gently rested his hand on my now much larger and extended stomach. It felt as though I were nine months pregnant, even though I was only six months along."I'm feeling immense pressure, babe," I said, gripping Ramirez's clothes tightly. Initially, he chuckled, thinking I was joking, as I often did. But this time, I was deadly serious."Alright, no more jokes," he replied, attempting to kiss me, but I urgently motioned towards my lower abdomen, indicating the amniotic fluid that had begun to flow."Oh my Goddess! Ramirez, get the werewolf doctor, now!" I exclaimed, panic welling up as he swiftly helped me to my f
