Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 16 - She Is My Mate
In the Mancini Family Living Room…Natali helped Clyde to the chair next to her father and sat down on a small couch beside him.In front of them stood Alira, with Jace standing at a distance. The Secretary called Prince Alessandro in the mind link to drop whatever he was doing and sign up to the living room with the utmost urgency. The man was in the study working on his laptop when he received the message.‘What's going on, Jace? I wanted to finish some work to allow Clyde could focus on the case with Joanna. Couldn't you do it without me for a while?’ he asked, his eyes still glued to the screen.‘Actually, no. This whole meeting is all about you, Alessandro. I hate to break it to you, but that lady Alira is here. She has been here for a few days now."With a jerk, the Prince's head was up and his face turned into an iron mask.He knew what his father was up to but had no intention of taking Alira as his mate. What they had was a temporary fling that he had no plans of making into

Carlo pulled away from Alira, but his hand was like a vise around her throat.His eyes were like hot coals, gone was the moment of euphoria of having finally found his mate. Instead, he now saw a potential criminal who had done serious harm to his family.Everyone in the living room jumped to their feet as Clyde and Jace surrounded the couple."Alira, you better come clean. There are two of the strongest Lycans among us, and I cannot stand alone to protect you. The best thing you can do at this moment is to confess," Jace dryly suggested to the woman. "We already know that Sybille has something to do with this. Now we want to know what your part is. And make no mistake, nobody here is in the mood for games."The woman swallowed several times and looked anxiously at her mate. But Carlo's priority was his brother, the mate bond was less important to the throne now."Yes, the closer you are to the truth, the better for you. I am your mate, but my feelings are secondary to those of the Cr

Alpha Abel’s Point Of ViewMy mate had been in my pack for three days now. Hex, my wolf, couldn't stand being close to her, the scent of another man on her made him frantic. That day, when I picked her up and carried her to the car, he went crazy. He was furious that another man had touched her. The horny beast within me had eagerly anticipated reliving that night, it was all he'd talked about for days. Darn, my Beta reacted the venue too late. I had instructed him to act before she entered the church. Now here she was with a wedding ring on her finger, making Hex even more ferocious. A few weeks ago, I just managed to prevent him from going on a rampage. When we woke up that morning, our mate had gone. It was bewildering after such an amazing and wild night together. Following an extensive search and a tip-off from Sybille, my ex, we finally located her. Now she’s back in the pack where she belongs. I witnessed her destr

Joanna's Point Of ViewThe more I listened to the Alpha, the clearer it became that he had no plans of releasing me any time soon.His resolute gaze and commanding presence made that abundantly evident. I needed a different approach, perhaps earning his trust would grant me some freedom here. Being confined to that room for days felt like torture and was ultimately futile. Meanwhile, Clyde must have been consumed by grief, I couldn't help but wonder if he already knew the truth. I held back my anger and turned the Alpha."Is my husband aware that I'm here?" His eyes flickered darkly and his face tightened. it was clear he didn't like my question."If you're referring to your human lover, not yet. However, that will soon change as we’re in the process of annulling your marriage. It’s a mistake you need to correct promptly," he growled. "Besides, you won’t see him again; your life is with me now."Frowning, I lowered my gaze to my hands. This Alpha truly believed he coul

Alpha Abel’s Point Of View Seeing Joanna doubt her human lover was the beginning of his end.Liars never won a game, and my mate was very susceptible to this kind of slip-up. She clearly came from a sheltered environment where deception was highly charged. The various emotions on her face did not bode well for the man. Good for me."Oh well, it didn't matter. Sybille was an ordinary werewolf, maybe she wasn't completely related to the man," I explained. “And there were still werewolves running around who had at least one human parent.” Of course, I knew that Sybille was a full-blooded werewolf and probably a pure one at that. But I used this opportunity to win my mate over as if I wished the man no harm.In the meantime, Eric was keeping an eye on the family, and now that he was back in contact with Sybille, we would know what steps they would take to get Joanna back. I was not worried about the police overseas, they had no jurisdiction in America. And by the time Jo

Still Alpha Abel’s Point Of ViewAs I assisted Joanna out of the vehicle, I closed the door behind her and gently pressed her against the hood. Her body felt so warm, enough to heat up the little space between us.I closed my eyes for a few seconds to savor the heavenly sensation my mate was instilling in me. Tilting her chin upwards, my thumb traced over her bottom lip. She trembled at our touch and slowly raised her gaze to meet mine, her gray eyes were truly captivating beyond compare. That unforgettable night, I had barely taken the time to study them. Yet now, with them so near, I realized my life would feel incomplete without their presence. But there was no chance of me losing out on this, they belonged to me and I intended to immerse myself in their essence for the rest of my days."You are beautiful," I murmured against her lips. "Please give us a chance, and I'll make amends for the way I brought you here and those long, lonely hours in that room. I had to keep you isolated

Still Alpha Abel’s Point Of View"Alpha, there was a board meeting tonight. The stakeholders of the Merimen Trust Fund had requested an explanation about a transfer of two million dollars to an offshore investment company outside of America. They thought it was highly suspicious."Elena, my private Secretary, bumped into me as I entered the packhouse with Joanna. Her eyes were glowing red, something serious was definitely going on here. My Secretary was usually very level-headed and confident. The few times I had seen her in this state, Woodland Investment had been on the verge of losing hundreds of millions."Calm down. Let's go into my office and talk about this. How much time do we have before the meeting?" We walked quickly to my office, I pulled Joanna along with me."About four hours. That's not much. Do you know anything about the transfer? I don't." I sat down behind my desk and settled my mate on my lap. Fortunately, she didn't protest and I could concentrate

Joanna's Point Of ViewLost in thought, I turned and walked into the apartment.The events of the last hour passed me by.The Alpha! My desperate reaction to his kiss was uncommon. I acknowledged that there was an undeniable attraction between us, but it was more of a sexual nature. It was nothing compared to what I felt for Clyde. Damn it, and I am still a married woman.And then his comments about his wolf buzzed through my head. Had I really had sex with an animal that night? According to him, he and his wolf took turns on me. Holy goodness!How hadn't I noticed any of this? This was unthinkable.Of course, at that moment I was in ecstasy, forgetting everything around me because of the infinite pleasure he was giving me. It was as if I had entered another world where only he and I existed and all that mattered was to satisfy our passion. It was sex and nothing else. Ordinary animal lust.But a few minutes ago in his office, we had a different experience. It turned out that we had o

Twenty years later... "Come on, Clyde, the boys could arrive at any moment. Why are you dawdling today?"Queen Joanna expressed her irritation at her mate's sluggishness, who seemed in no rush to welcome their sons.The Princes had spent two years in Latin America, undergoing rigorous training alongside the sons of Joyce, Alira, Alia, Elena, and Janice. The younger generation had received basic combat and strategy training, a biannual rite of passage overseen by the Council, while the older ones immersed themselves in advanced studies of logistics, business, and management. Among them was Crown Prince Joachim-Georg, his return eagerly awaited. His triplet sisters, however, remained in the Kingdom, much to their displeasure.The eldest, Princess Ciciane Taylor Mariam, had made such a fuss that Clyde had no choice but to allow her to take martial arts training under Chief Warrior Rubio. This girl was a true rebel, known in many packs as the "warrior Princess of trouble."However, she w

As if he had been waiting for this precise cue for an eternity, Xin surfaced, taking over from his human.Clyde's head took on a shape as if carved from wood, the golden fur shimmering as it manifested on his face. Possessively, he cradled Joanna’s face in his hands, lifting it toward him and kissing every inch of it, a fervent declaration of his love.Caught off guard by the strong, untamed power that enveloped her, Era stiffened, her senses reeling. She closed her eyes, savoring the intoxicating rush flowing through her, a wave of pure, unadulterated energy.“No need to panic, love,” Xin whispered to her, his voice a soothing balm against her surging anxiety. “I have never given you reason to doubt me. What is this?” Era leaned against his chest, surrendering to his silent, persuasive power, her resistance melting away like snow in the summer sun.“Joanna is insecure,” she confided in a low murmur, a confession whispered on the edge of a sigh. “She fears that a fated mate might sudd
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 165 – The Terrace Tempest
As they stood before the grand, imposing doors of the Palace, Butler Clark came before them, his presence as steady as the ancient stones of the building itself.Clark was the same age as Alpha Maceo, but unlike the Alpha, who retained a youthful vigor, the signs of aging were etched deeply into the butler's face, revealing his years of service and loyal duty. Moreover, the butler was not as athletically built, nor did he move with the same fluid grace as Maceo.“Alpha, are you here to speak with the King?” he asked the visitor icy calm, his tone devoid of any warmth. “Please, follow me, the family is on the back terrace, enjoying a moment of respite now that Queen Joanna needs her strength.”Before the Alpha could offer a reply, Clark turned on his heel, clearly expecting the pair to follow him without question.The Alpha and his granddaughter exchanged a surprised glance, before stepping into the grand foyer. They walked through a long, winding corridor, passing a bustling, fragrant

"What did you say?" Alpha Maceo of the Falcon Crest pack thundered, his voice reverberating through the sterile confines of the Royal doctor's office. "Man, run the tests again! This… this cannot be true!"His face, normally a picture of composure and quiet strength, was now flushed crimson, a mask of disbelief and rising fury. He glared at Doctor Andrew, who sat calmly across the polished mahogany desk, his expression carefully neutral. Andrew held out the thin sheets of paper with the results.He read the conclusions aloud, his voice steady, each word a hammer blow to Maceo's bewildered mind, shattering the carefully constructed facade of his reality."Alpha, these are simple English words, and I assure you, I read them correctly," Doctor Andrew sighed, his eyes reflecting a quiet understanding of the turmoil raging within the older man. "And I assure you, I have run these tests five times. I could hardly believe it myself. But your wolf knows the truth. During the collaboration to

Nervously Sybille stepped into her new mate's apartment.Even though they had spent hours together in the vehicle returning to the pack, he had barely spoken to her. Kenrick had worked on his iPad the entire trip. He checked news channels reporting on events in the Kingdom and Woodland. He was meticulous, his brow furrowed in concentration.His phone also constantly buzzed and vibrated.His colleagues worldwide wanted his personal account of the events surrounding Alpha Abel and the Royals. He answered them with clipped, precise words, his voice a low rumble.Although he always treated her respectfully, she could clearly feel his underlying power.Kenrick was definitely Alpha material. His dominance and confidence radiated from him. The intense look in his eyes demanded obedience. His strong grip on her hand, when he did touch her, revealed his inner strength.Sybille knew she should not underestimate him.She had not interacted much with him before. Her attention was constantly focus

In Woodland, a convoy of vehicles, somber and silent, rolled to a halt before the imposing, massive gates.Three vehicles peeled away from the main group, one of them a hearse carrying the body of the fallen Alpha Abel. A lone warrior approached the lead vehicle, where Kenrick sat in the back with Sybille.As the guard drew closer, he inhaled deeply, his senses sharp, and his eyes widened in shock."Alpha Kenrick," he stammered, disbelief thick in his voice. "We received no word of your arrival. We knew Alpha Abel was defeated since the pack link with him was severed, but the circumstances were shrouded in rumors."The warrior sprinted back towards the gates and pressed a button.The heavy gates began to slide open, granting the cars access to the pack lands. He sent an alert through the mind link, informing the pack of Kenrick's sudden arrival.A flurry of activity erupted within the packhouse.There was no time for formal celebrations or to prepare a grand welcome. Everyone rushed t

“Clyde,” Joanna murmured weak as she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his.The Crown Prince, his face carved in relief and overflowing with joy, kissed her all over her face as his heart is overflowing with gratitude. The past few minutes had been a terrifying ordeal for the entire family, a roller coaster of emotions that had left them breathless.“Yes, I’m here with you,” Clyde beamed emotionally. “You scared the hell out of me, my love. What would become of me without you by my side? If you ever decide to leave, don’t forget to take me with you, this life is nothing without you.”Joanna smiled, her eyes filled with a deep, unwavering love.With difficulty, she lifted her hand to stroke his face, her touch feather-light, her eyes shining with an affection that transcended words.“Will you mark me now? Make me your legal wife and my werewolf mate?”The Crown Prince laughed, a sound of pure, unadulterated relief, and pulled her tightly against him, his tears glistening in the

Crown Prince Clyde stood at the head of the large Council Board table, his posture rigid as the hall began to fill with spectators, their eyes eager and whispers buzzing with anticipation.Everyone was curious about the recent, chaotic events, and it was crucial to provide clear explanations, to dispel the confusion that hung heavily in the air. Once everyone had taken their seats and the Royals stood at some distance in front of him, Clyde addressed the attendees, his voice resonating with a solemn gravity.“As you all know, my wife, Joanna, was the fated mate of Alpha Abel,” he stated the obvious. “With his death, the bond was broken, not only with the marked mate but also with my wife. But Joanna is human, and she carries my twin pups, which adds an immense burden to her already fragile state.”He paused, letting his words sink in, as he heard gasps of shock ripple through the room.Some whispered among themselves, their voices laced with accusation, blaming him for what had happen

"Jace, I can’t bear to lose her," the Crown Prince softly growled with anguish, as he leaned heavily against the cold, sterile wall outside the ward where Joanna was being examined.His knuckles were white, his body trembling with suppressed terror."What could have caused all this? Was it the breaking of the bond with Alpha Abel?""I believe so. Sybille went through the same experience, but her Lycan helped her through it," the Secretary replied gravely. "Joanna is only half-transformed, and her wolf is still too weak. And the pups, man, this is dire."Fifteen agonizing minutes later, the doctor emerged from the examination room, his face a mask of grim concern, his shoulders slumped with a heavy weariness. Clyde and Jace rushed towards him, their hearts pounding with dread. The doctor's posture alone spoke volumes, painting a bleak picture."Doctor, my wife…" the Crown Prince stammered with fear. "Will she be okay? I beg you, do everything in your power to save her. Joanna must reco
