~Alina Pov ~ I looked at Marcus as he performed shamelessly with confidence which amazed me. I communicated with Kennedy, calming him down and promising him I could handle this and he didn't need to do anything. I looked around the hall and saw everyone's gaze focused on the trouble going on here and somehow I felt irritated because this was not how I had planned it. I wanted to make Kennedy proud, I wanted to be able to stand beside him and make them know Ken had chosen the right woman but who knew Marcus would cause a scene? Though Kennedy had warned me that I might meet my ex-pack members and even my ex-mate, I felt even if Marcus was heartless, he would at least know some shame and wouldn't make a scene in a place like this, but I was so wrong! Thinking about all this just made the anger in me rise but I knew to deal with a shameless person, you have to be calm-headed. But as I was about to end this and put Marcus in his place, I heard the voice that terrified me before, but
~Kennedy Pov~ I felt Alina's chaotic feelings immediately after Alpha Richard said those words. I know how scared she is to lose her parents. I had guessed there was something fishy going on when Alina told me she hadn't seen Veronica when she was in the Silvercrest pack. Though I acted calm with her I had started investigating things and the reason I had Veronica detained was not only because of Adana but because I knew she was involved with something. She had come up with a lie that was so convincing but it seems she didn't know me. I made sure my men tortured her mentally and drained her spirit and I got what I wanted even if I wasn't satisfied. She would rather die than expose her people but one thing I gained from there is Alpha Richard is not someone he claims to be. This man is ambitious and with the way he is confident enough to show it now, it means there is something he relies on which is what I would love to find out. My eyes became calmer as I raised an eyebrow
~Alina pov~“What are you talking about?!” I glared at him and then said through the mind link. Frustration filled my heart at his words. “Why would he think of me like that? Did I show any sign of fear or is it because I am not strong enough?” I suddenly felt down thinking about it. Then I also realize, maybe I am not doing much or I am not trying my best. I looked at Kennedy who seemed to realize he had said something wrong, he looked at me with guilt, “Hey! I-I don't mean it that way.” I know he didn't mean it but I felt weird, it was like he had no trust in me, and that alone felt like I was being punched in the gut. I looked at Kennedy, then nodded my head, and without saying a word I pulled off my dress and walked to the bathroom to take a bath. I didn't want to think much about him and the mood suddenly changed. If I stay with him for more minutes, I know I will lose my temper and things will escalate. We are both too tired for this. I took my bath and came out in a silk n
~Kennedy Pov~I woke up in a daze then I felt something heavy on my chest and when I managed to look down, I saw a fluffy hair that hit my chin. I couldn't help my smile knowing it was Alina.She slept soundly with her body pressed on top of me and her face pressed on my chest. I raised my hand gently to remove the hair covering her face and when I did I was wowed by the sleeping beauty.,She looks so cute and gentle with her mouth opened slightly. I stared at her for a while before Turning around and that was when I noticed it was still dark. I furrowed my brows as I remembered what had happened yesterday. Though I knew the meeting wouldn't go well this time around, I never expected it to be quite so intense. I dig my hand into my hair as I let out a small groan of irritation. I couldn't sleep anymore so I adjusted Alina gently hoping I wouldn't wake her up but it seemed I was being too careful as she only stirred and then went back to sleep. How tired she must have been. I stood
~Kennedy pov~ Thinking about Alina brought peace to me, my eyes which had turned cold earlier calmed down and regained the softness it had before. I frowned without hearing any voice from them, then when I raised my head and looked around, I was surprised to see the confused face of my men. I chuckled gently as I remembered they hadn't met Alina and they didn't even know I had found my mate. “Tsk Tsk… So we have a Luna now? So bad we aren't even aware. Alpha, you are treating us unfairly! You showed Luna to those softies outside first before informing us. Am I not your most valuable subordinate anymore?” My head furrowed in disgust looking at the pouting Killy who looked strange doing this with his huge body. “Scam!” I yelled out, trying to control myself from rubbing my arms with disgust. I gulped, then frowned frustratedly looking at the shining eyes of the rest. “It's not my fault you guys don't like coming out of this place. You guys act like the people in the pack aren't eve
~Kennedy Pov~She flinched on hearing my voice and I immediately regretted shouting at her. But I hardened my heart as I knew if I didn't, she still wouldn't say anything.“Tell! What is wrong with you?” I questioned again, this time with a cold voice that pressed her for an answer. She looked at me with a pout and then bowed her head without saying a word. I couldn't even see her face and I find all this annoying. Why is she keeping quiet if there is something wrong? My chest heaved and I tried to contain my anger but thinking of how she didn't even trust me, her mate, just annoyed me the most. I covered the space between us in two strides and she immediately moved back which made me mad.I didn't bother being soft on her as I held her wrist tight but made sure it wouldn't leave a bruise on her. I dragged her to the bed and made her sit on it, then I raised her head and made sure her eyes were fixed on me.My eyes trembled seeing her wet eyes and I almost went soft but I was able t
~Alina Pov~ I laid down on the bed but I couldn't sleep, I couldn't even close my eyes as all I kept seeing were my parents looking all bloody with their eyes closed or them being dragged on the floor. I knew Kennedy was angry, but I can't say anything, he already has a lot on his plate which was half caused by me, so I can't. I felt suffocated and more than that, I felt the banging pain in my head. I feel so confused, I don't know what to do. I sighed softly then suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my chest. It was dull at first which I ignored but then it came hard, my head felt like it was about to split, and my eyes turned red as I hit my chest. Then what I wasn't expecting happened— “Growl!!!” My eyes widened as I heard the painful groan. My Wolf! My wolf is awake! And that painful groan, my eyes widened as I felt my heart shiver. “Mate…Mate…Save Mate!” My eyes grew confused at the words she tried telling me. I pieced them together and when I made sense of what she was trying
~Alpha Richard Pov~I sat with my palm supporting my head as I tilted my head with my gaze focused on the man standing in front of me with his lips pulsing arrogantly. It makes me wonder what was giving him the confidence…I had saved the idiot and he still acts so arrogantly in front of me. My nose wrinkled in distaste but my voice was calm and more than that was my smiling face which had managed to convince a lot of people. I looked at the young man with gentleness, “You have done well. I didn't expect you to do this, but you surprised me and made me understand that you can be trusted.” I said calmly with a hint of indifference but the gentleness in my voice could be heard clearly.The man looked coldly at me and his lips curled up in a sneer, “He is still alive! Just enough time for you to take what you said belongs to you and I will have mine! Stop with the flattering.” He said coldly then looked at me with disdain but it didn't make me angry, but amused. I looked at him and the
~Alina Pov ~ A YEAR AND HALF LATER… I sat in front of the mirror with Omegas running about in my room, I stared tiredly at my bare face in the mirror. I am so tired! I hadn’t rested the night before as Klaus had been a disturbance and even if Kennedy had taken care of him last night, I still felt tired. That little guy is a little devil, he wouldn’t sleep at night and always wanted to play when everyone was sleeping. I gritted my teeth thinking of how Kennedy and his son just wouldn’t shut up and kept mumbling and laughing at night when I was asleep and now this —It’s my wedding and I have to be dressed but if I am to choose, I will go bare face in a simple dress. “Luna! Do you want this head jewel or that?!” An omega asked happily. I looked at the two pieces in front of me and sighed, “This!” I said loudly choosing the Blue one. Yes, I restored my voice two months ago, but it was a hard process. Kennedy became weaker after that and it’s said he would only go back to his peak
~Kennedy Pov~ Days had passed since the battle. I had killed and destroyed the Silvercrest pack and as for the aftermath, it’s something I have been handling for days. My men had found out about the packs that had collided with Richard and I had them go ahead to annihilate them but I kept those people. I planned to rebuild the Northern pack and make it wider so it could contain more members.I stood up after the meeting and then hurried towards home. I still haven’t been able to hug or meet with Alina since the battle and I don’t know how she is as she hasn’t come to look for me which is strange. I walked towards our home but when I got home, I was told she wasn’t indoors which made me frown. I closed my eyes and tried to reach her and my eyes lit up with happiness after being able to link with her. “Alina!” I called out excitedly. “Where are you?!” I asked anxiously. I wanted to see her right now and hug her to sleep as I hadn’t rested for a long time. “Kennedy…Can you come to th
~Kennedy Pov~ I looked at the cocky Alpha Richard with a look of disdain on my face, I turned and looked around and saw the Northern Warriors had been surrounded by the warriors of Silvercrest who had suddenly appeared, I laughed softly because I had expected it.I looked at my warriors who looked ready to risk it and none looked afraid to lose their life on this battlefield and it filled me with pride. I nodded then turned to look at the idiot in front of me.“Surrender?” I asked then shook in my head I regret, “I have never been the one to surrender especially to weak people. You should have heard about me right?” I asked then watched his cocky face become angry then he calmed down and returned to his usual fake smile but with the blood all over him, he looked anything but gentle. My eyes were cold and Ruthless as I waited for him to utter his rubbish.“Alpha Kennedy, the truth is I have always been wowed by your level of strength and I had always wanted to compete with you and to
~Alina Pov~ I watched as Kennedy led the Wolves Warriors to battle. I watched him with a hot gaze, even if I had faith in my man I still couldn't help but be worried. I don't want him to be injured again. He had just recovered and I wouldn't want him to go unconscious again as that would drive me crazy. I bit my lips as I watched the gate close but I didn't move from the gate and guided it with the other soldiers. I know I couldn't do much but I know the sight of me will calm the non fighters down. My parents had disagreed with me coming out but I had been stubborn. My child is a strong one and he should know the kind of family he came from but I wouldn't put him in danger. I wouldn't fight but I can also use my brain.I pulsed my lips and looked towards the battleground but I could only see the backs of a few of them. After waiting till late at night and the sounds of growls could still be heard, my father walked towards me and then handed me a loaf of bread and water. I looked at
~Kennedy Pov~ “BOOM!!” The sound of something blowing up sounded in my pack which woke up the warriors from the daze. It was just early morning and the warriors had been resting as they had just finished training. My eyes narrowed as I stood on top of the pack in the highest place where we fought battles when intruders attacked. I shifted into my wolf form and stood there vigilantly with eyes as dark as the night watching the thousands of wolves match my territory like it was nothing to them and they were bound to win. I let out a loud growl that shook the whole pack, waking everyone up and letting the ordinary wolves be prepared. Even if they were just members of the pack and wouldn’t be fighting I had to make them aware that the yoke had come and they must prepare themselves. I looked back and saw Alina standing far away in black armor and sharp eyes that looked so fierce. She stood protectively in front of the gate guiding the whole pack. I smiled gently at her then I let out
~Kennedy POV~Days passed peacefully but tense. The pack was filled with soldiers training for the unexpected. I walked into the huge meeting room and sat down coldly. I looked around with my cold eyes and saw all the important generals and commanders in the room with others with important positions, I nodded in satisfaction then I saw Jerry sitting in the middle. “How is Derek?!” I asked coldly which froze the already frozen air. They gulped and looked at one another then Dean stood up and bowed respectfully, “Alpha! He has been silently staying in the prison and doing fine but he wouldn’t say a word no matter how we asked.” he said and I narrowed my eyes and tapped my finger on the chair in deep thought. I pulsed my lips then nodded, “Oh..” I said then looked around with piercing eyes, “How is it going?!” I asked sharply.Dave stood up and walked to the front, “Alpha! We found out something very important and interesting! And this will be the turnover!” He said with excitement wr
~Alina POV~ I looked at him in surprise, then furrowed my brows, but nodded as I could remember that day and what he had said clearly but I don’t know why he was repeating his words now. I smiled calmly at him and asked him to continue. He smiled gently and then snickered which made me glare at him.He raised his two hands in surrender, “Okay! Okay! I will say it. Just stop glaring at me.” He said then I rolled my eyes speechlessly.His face turned serious, “I told you then that method will put Ken in trouble and will endanger him. That’s because it will endanger him truly and he might die then but not now!” He said then without waiting for us to ask him to explain, he continued. “If he had forced his power to awaken then, he might blow up and bleed to death, but since it’s come naturally now, then you can surely be saved!” He said and I looked at him with shock.I can’t count how many shocks I have received today. And I don’t want to receive more of it. I looked at him with my mo
~Alina Pov~ We walked fast-paced towards the entrance, and when we got there, I ignored the look the man who had opened the door when I came in was giving me. All I want is to take my parents to meet Adana and solve all these problems. After leaving the hidden pack, I led the way and walked forward, my parents were still weak so they couldn’t change into their wolf form so I had to lead them this way. Though slow we later got to where I was going—Jerry’s place! I took my parents’ hands and walked towards his private pack healing house and knocked on the door, I kept knocking but I didn’t hear a response until I heard the door open with a loud noise. I came face to face with Jerry’s irritable face.I forced a smile but seeing the glare he sent my way, I became speechless then I saw two frames stand in front of me making me feel warm. My mum glared at Jerry so much that he flinched and scratched his head, “Baby, is this the way they treat you? And you are still nice to them?!” My mu
~Alina Pov~I stirred awake, I looked around in a daze then turned to look outside the window, and seeing it was already dark, I wasn't bothered and turned to look at Kennedy who was deep into his dreams.I leaned closer to him and kissed his forehead, then caressed the eye bag under his eyes. I know he is tired as he hasn't been resting but this was good too, he needs to rest. I sighed quietly then climbed down from the bed and picked up my clothes to wear. I did everything quietly and even I was shocked that Kennedy who had always been alert hadn't woken up, but I smiled gently as I knew he was only like this because he loves me. I tied my hair up, then looked at him deeply and walked out of the door. Immediately I locked the door, busted out, and ran downstairs then into the forest. While running I shifted into my wolf who feels better and energetic. My wolf ran towards the place where had come from this morning and I was glad I had put the setting and Lane in my heart so it was
