Third Party …

The atmosphere in the packhouse felt utterly unsettled following Joanna's departure.

Even though she didn't interact much with the pack members, to us high-ranking and close staff, she was like our cherished ward who required extra protection and care. We were more than willing to offer it, safeguarding her from the world's harshness and ensuring no harm would befall her.

Now she's gone for good, Clyde is determined never to lose her again.

The intensity in his eyes reveals everything, his love for her surpasses even the value of his own life. However, the void left in the packhouse is unmistakable, everyone can sense it deeply. The Luna seat where she usually sat is now vacant once more, and Emma, our cook, still inadvertently sets an extra place next to mine every day.

Just like it is today.

"Emma, you can take the plate away," I reminded her for what felt like the hundredth time. This has become a daily occurrence, and I'm not sure if she's doing it on

    "At last, my own mate!" I whispered, my voice quivering with emotion.However, as it becomes clear to me that she is not just an ordinary werewolf but belongs to a superior race, I momentarily keep my distance. The revelation strikes me like a tidal wave, and I gaze at her with questioning eyes."You're a Lycan," I pointed out the obvious.For a moment, uncertainty flashes in her eyes, that wasn't my intention. I was simply stating a fact. "Is that an obstacle for you?" she asked, her eyes probing mine for any sign of regret.I shook my head as a smile spread across my face."Not at all. If being mated with an Alpha doesn't trouble you, it's perfectly fine by me.

    Meanwhile, back at the venue, Cleo couldn't take his eyes off Janice.His heart ached to go to her, to speak with her, yet something restrained him. He remained rooted in place, observing her from afar. In his eyes, she was the most exquisite creation the Moon Goddess had ever crafted. However, she was not his destined mate and his unwavering beliefs prohibited him from choosing anyone but his fated. Although he knew that she adored him deeply, he couldn’t allow himself to surrender to their emotions.Janice, on the other hand, was visibly disappointed in the Beta.She gazed up at him with a spark of adoration in her eyes, but when he did not move, she sighed. His silence felt like a dagger to her heart. Taking Joanna's hand, she turned toward the door."Let's go, Joanna," she murmured, attempting to conceal the pain in her voice. "I need some fresh air."Joanna nodded, recognizing her friend’s pain. Having observed the exchange between her and the Beta, she felt sympathy for her frie

    Clyde attempted to follow her, but Jace's steady hand on his chest halted him."Jace calmly suggested to Clyde, give her some space and let her cool off.'"The Crown Prince reluctantly paused in his tracks, his eyes fixated on the closed door as if willing it to open. His chest rose and fell heavily under the burden of guilt and regret."Goddess, I regret not heeding your advice to tell her about her past," he admitted with a sense of self-reproach.

Clyde, who had vigilantly guarded her door like a sentinel, sprang to his feet the moment she appeared. Days had bled into an agonizing eternity, each filled with the silent desperation of his unrequited pleas."Joanna," he breathed, relieved. He moved towards her and gently embraced her. "I've missed you. I know it was all overwhelming, sudden, unexpected. But I'm here now. We'll face this together, whatever it takes. I promise."Joanna looked up at him, her gaze still clouded with confusion."You could have prepared me for this, Clyde," she whispered, her voice hoarse. "Told me about… about everything. You spoke of our life together, of our future, but you never mentioned… you never mentioned knowing me before."Clyde gently cupped her face, his thum

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.

    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

    At the sound of Sybille's voice, a feral rage consumed Alpha Abel.His eyes blazed, shifting into the predatory orbs of his wolf, and with a speed that defied human perception, he lunged at the she-wolf. His hand, a clawed weapon of raw power, closed around Sybille's throat, almost cutting off her desperate gasp."You tricked me!" he snarled, his voice a guttural growl that vibrated with unbridled fury. "You knew I would never choose you, what we had was a fleeting illusion, a ghost of the past. You came to my pack with the intention of keeping me away from Joanna, weaving a web of deceit. You were a pawn in a conspiracy, a viper in my den. But I will not surrender to you, I will reclaim my mate!"His grip tightened, the pressure crushing Sybille's windpipe, her eyes bulging as her face turning a grotesque shade of purple. A strangled gurgle escaped her lips, a desperate plea for air.Then suddenly, a figure, in a whirlwind of motion, slammed into Abel, sending him crashing to the gro
