I was finally free. I could live again.Adriana and her mother who were present at my wedding came to beg for forgiveness.Since I was in a happy mood, I accepted their apology and waved them off, but they wanted to talk more.“I know who your real father is,” Adriana said as her mother explained everything to me.Apparently, my mother and Adriana’s mother had been friends so of course the woman would know.I called Zach and he was present when the woman said everything she could say to us.Zach decided to launch an investigation and he set up a team for finding my real father.While on my wedding day, I smiled from a distance while watching Willow go
Kayla’s POV“Mate,” Jackson growled when he laid eyes on me and I stiffened. The happiness that coursed through me came to an abrupt halt. I was supposed to be happy, to feel alive that I had finally met my mate. But I wasn't happy because Jackson was my stepsister's boyfriend and Alpha of the pack. Adriana is my step-sister who I’m older than by a year. She’s the child of my stepfather. Daring to look at Adriana's face, I caught anger dancing in her eyes. She would never forgive me for this. Even if she got all the good things, she always accuses me of stealing from her. I backed away from fear. I couldn't feel my wolf yet but was surprised I got a mate. I turned eighteen two months ago but there was still no sign of my wolf. Adriana looked at Jackson as she looped her hands around his. There was a pouting expression on her face like she was about to cry. “You can't accept my sister, can you? You promised me I would be your Luna,” she whined and I looked away. Even before say
Zack's POV If only I knew what would befall me if I came to this pack, I wouldn't have come here at all. All day, I couldn't get her off my head.Fuck. She was none like them. None like the older ladies I liked to be with. Then why? I asked myself multiple times as I stared at the drink in my right hand. The fucker, Jackson had been talking about the stuck-up reasons I should treat his pack with kindness. I chuckled. Kindness - that word doesn't exist in my dictionary. And if only my father could get off my neck about disappointing him time and time again maybe I wouldn't be so pissed off all the time. Well, he should go to hell for all I cared. He was never satisfied. I wonder how an old man could be so demanding. Over the years, I tried to understand him. Heaven knows I tried. But he was just like a stupid piece of the puzzle that went missing, never to be found again. I sighed, bringing my focus back to the present. Jude or Jack, whatever his name was, blabbered and fidgeted
Kayla's POVThe drive down to Alpha Stone’s pack was terrific. At one point, I thought I might pass out from fright. Some days I still think about what might happen if I wasn't chosen by him as a peace treaty. And some days, I just want to curl up and cry at my ill fate. It's like moving from the frying pan to the fire, only this time, the fire is my savior. I see how he looks at me like he couldn't figure out what I truly am. I too don't know what I am. I lost the little self-esteem I had when I found out my whole life was a lie. Those memories I tried to bury in my heart always came resurfacing whenever I saw an older woman. My mom - my former mom was everywhere in everyone. I'm so weak. I wish I could be strong like Fiona who is Alpha Stone's bed warmer. I think I hate her because she is what I can't be no matter how hard I try. I secretly envied her strength and courage. I hate her, yes. But if only I could be a little of what she is. I scrubbed the floor harder as Alpha St
Zack's POV“Holy shit, shit, shit!” I paced outside the hospital room. This was all my fault. Maybe if I didn't speak this wouldn't have happened. Why the fuck did I have to speak and scare her? Was she even going to jump? I had no fucking idea. Seeing her standing by the edge of the cliff brought fear into me. And I wasn't used to feeling fear. I thought I had gotten over that insane feeling. But hell, she brought it out even without trying. She was scared of me as it should be. But instead of the relief that it usually brought. I felt anger. Doesn't she know I would never hurt her? She has made me feel indescribable things I couldn't even explain to myself. “You're going to dig a hole in the ground with your feet,” Lucas said. He was sitting on the chair, equally waiting for the doctor to come out so we would know what was wrong. I glared hard at Lucas. We had been waiting outside for over two hours. The more I waited, the more I felt like I might storm in there and murder the
Zack’s POVI looked at the man before me, suddenly forgetting why I had appeared here. What did he want here?“Alpha Stone,” he smiled in my direction just as I slowed my walk towards him.I wagged my fingers around. “What are you doing here?”He smiled. “I came to say hi.”“In prison?”“Oh no, I heard someone crying out for help and…”“As usual you had a kind soft heart to jump in and save the day. You should know that I rescued you from being a rogue and I don’t want you being Robin hood.”“I know, but the screams…”“Are none of your concern,” I sighed. “Care for a drink?”He couldn’t refuse and to be honest I could use the extra aid in forgetting anything about my anger. I wanted to forget about the pressure being put on me as an alpha. I wanted to be free for a while.“Sure,” he smiled. “Why not?”I nodded as we left the prison and started for the bar down the street. Mateo was a minor friend in my book. He wasn’t a major character who changed my history. When his parents had di
Zack’s POVAfter listening to the beta talk nonstop about a few random things, I stood to my feet and ushered him out to think alone.“When I need you, I’ll call you,” I said, slamming the door in his face to pace around the room, thinking of my next step.I wanted to ask Kayla a few things. This was getting more and more complicated.I had been the one to kill her mother from what I could see due to my father’s orders. And I had almost been the reason for her pregnancy being removed due to her almost falling to her death.Why was it always me? Who was I going to kill this time? Was it going to be her by mistake?I needed to talk to her. The itch to have that conversation and hear what she had to say was high.I got out of the room and headed for the hospital.***It didn’t take long for me to enter the hospital and the doctor led me into the ward while he talked about a grant he needed from me to make his hospital a world renowned hospital.I ignored him and when I entered the room,
Fiona’s POVI picked up my phone once again to call Zack but there was no reply. What was he doing that he would ignore me like that? He was supposed to answer my calls but instead he was ignoring me.I sent him messages but there was no reply. Calling his beta was a lost cause as that one didn’t even like me.I paced around the room wondering about my next cause of action.I loved how before he would call me for random sex. This had made me feel attached to him. I could almost feel his dick throbbing in me once again.But this time however, it was not the same way. This time it was different. He wasn’t calling anymore. I was sure he had forgotten I even existed.It was all because of that bitch, Kayla. Who did she think she was stealing my man from me? I had so many horrible thoughts towards her that I was sure I would be able to bring her down if I was ever left alone for a long time.I could have her kidnapped or killed or thrown into the middle of the ocean.It didn’t matter, so l

Zach’s POVI looked at Mara, my heart heavy with anger and forgiveness. "Your punishment will be different," I said, my voice filled with a mix of determination and grief. "You will be sent to a faraway county, where you will serve your punishment for sixty years. It is my hope that during this time, you will reflect upon your actions and find peace. I made sure to tell the council of this, so worry not."Mara bowed her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you," she murmured. "I will spend every moment of those sixty years atoning for my mistakes."Just then, the council called Mara forward and gave her her own punishment as I smiled at her being led away.With the sentencing complete, the council turned their attention to Felix, the man who had stolen pack secrets and framed his own wife, resulting in her untimely death. His actions had caused immense pain and suffering within Kayla’s family."Felix," the council leader addressed him, his voice stern. "For your crimes of treacher
Zach’s POVOur ride home from Jackson’s pack was silent as no one had ever seen me unleash such strength before.When we reached the council's pack that night, we headed for the meeting hall to discuss.“Tomorrow is the day we meet with the council,” I said. “We have enough evidence to put Jackson in the ground.”“What about Fiona?” Father asked.“Oh he’ll comply,” I smiled. “I also saw Adriana who promised to show up at the court alongside her husband like she would support him but when she is brought up to talk, she would speak against him because he had been physically assaulting her.”They all nodded with my plans. It would be a matter of time before we would win this case but I was very sure there was nothing Jackson could do against us. We were definitely winning this case.When Mateo and Lucas had gone to bed, I stayed back with my father.In his eyes were proud eyes.“I have never seen anyone fight through wolfsbane like you did before.”I chuckled. “I can still feel the poiso
Zach’s POV "Last time, I spared your life. Perhaps this time, I shall not be so merciful,” the fire in his hands got higher and higher as I gave a deep gasp of pain, the poison still coursing through my body.My failing strength was trying to keep up but was failing.A roar erupted from deep within me, a primal challenge that echoed through the entire pack. "I have grown stronger," I declared, my voice filled with my never give up spirit. "No barriers or spells can stand against the might of my otherworldly strength. Prepare to be defeated, wolf."With lightning speed, I lunged forward, my fist aimed at his head. But the alpha wolf was no ordinary opponent. He moved his body with effortless ease, his magical barriers shimmering to life, deflecting my blows effortlessly. He retaliated with a blast of energy, sending me hurtling backward with a force that would have shattered the bones of a lesser being.But I was no ordinary being.“Be careful!” My father yelled as I nodded and prep
Zach’s POVMy wolf’s eyes glowed with a red glow, a flame of strength. He regarded me with concern, his voice speaking deep within my soul. "Do not give up," he urged, his words echoing through me. “As a werewolf, we are born warriors, fighters. We do not yield to defeat."I struggled to find the words, my voice hoarse and weak. "But I have been defeated," I whispered, the weight of my failure heavy upon my shoulders. "I am broken, beaten. He has magical strength which is unheard of and to top it off he also has magic. Only the moon goddess knows what he has hidden within his body that gives him such power. “I gave him everything I had. My punches shattered the walls and the entire training halls. That should have knocked him out unconscious but he was standing long enough to stab me with wolfsbane. How am I going to beat my own weakness and his magic when I am limited."My wolf shook his head, his fur glistening under the dim light. "Defeat is not the end," he replied, his voice st
Zach’s POVThe searing pain of the wolfsbane coursing through my veins was unbearable. I could feel its toxic strain spreading like wildfire, devouring my strength, my vitality. Every fiber of my being screamed out in agony, my wolf howling in despair. This was too much to bear and I tried to stay calm by fighting it but the werewolf body was not created to handle wolfsbane.It was called wolfsbane for a reason. It was the weakness of every wolf.I was too weak to do anything. My senses were destroyed.I could hear my father screaming warnings at Jackson who laughed and fought against my beta and general, beating them away like they were nothing.I wished I could help but I was battling with inner demons at the moment.With everything going on, I refused to succumb. I fought against the darkness, desperately clinging to consciousness, as the person who had caused my pain laughed at my suffering.His laughter filled the air, a cruel reminder of what I was going through. "Look at you
Zach’s POV“I don’t need this,” he said tossing aside his sword as he hit his fists up. “I can handle you like a wolf.”Now that was his biggest mistake. Fist fights were my thing. “You should stick to weapons,” I said. “Trust me. You’ll need them.”“Oh I’ll use weapons,” he smirked. “When I’m done destroying you with my fists.”What a child. He was in for a surprise visit.The atmosphere brimmed with electricity as I lunged forward with the force of a charging beast. My werewolf strength pushed me towards the other alpha, who stood ready in the center of the ring to receive me. This was a battle of dominance, a fight that would determine the fate of our packs.I was confident in my strength and speed and I was ready no matter what to win.I would not let this alpha who had almost destroyed my pack multiple times win.I was fighting for my family, I was fighting for my pack. My honor, my friends who had been affected. I was fighting for them all and I was ready to have my revenge a
Zach’s POV I wanted so badly to tear him apart after that little stunt he played, but with my father trying to keep me away from the fight, and Lucas as well as Mateo holding me back, I could only obey their wishes.“You should be careful what you do next alpha,” Jackson said with a laugh. “This pack is mine and you could be killed for anything.”“Are you threatening me?” My wolf was beginning to push forward through the glow in my eyes.“If I am then you probably deserve it. Otherwise, shut up and get out. I don’t need a child to tell me what to do or whatnot. Alphas who don’t honor other alphas duel are children who should not be allowed to the throne. Even your father knows that. “And that is why he’s keeping you in check so you won’t lose face in front of your people. Oh don’t worry. I’ll make sure to take it easy on the next person I duel with. However now that we are done with our problems, you can get off from my pack and scurry off to the council’s pack to cry. I don’t deal
Jackson’s POVI really wanted him to fight with me and I ached for it for a very good reason.Prior to him showing up to the pack, I had planned everything I would do to the alpha.I remembered everything I had done before the alpha showed up and I lived in it for the moment.***Of course when I had told Fiona my plans she had been skeptical about it.“What do you mean you’ll get the alpha to spar with you?” She asked in anger. “How are you even going to do that? He’s a very trained fighter. He’ll kill you. He isn’t here for jokes. I didn’t run away from his pack and come all this way to be found out. Please review your thoughts and focus on making me live.”“I need him to fear me. He doesn’t fear anyone.”“And for good reason,” she sighed. “When you’re that strong you don’t need to. Look, how about we focus on keeping me away from his eyes and you win that court case by not going there. The council might force him to come get you in the beginning but when you show up to the council'
