Mila’s POVOh goddess please don’t let it be something that I can’t handle!I prayed heartily in my head as I waited for Ryan to tell me what else he has been hiding from me.“Don’t panic okay? I need you to…” he was speaking calmly, trying to prepare me but that just caused me to be more nervous because when someone usually starts with ‘don’t panic’ then it means that I will definitely panic!“Just say it” I demanded impatiently.“We are planning a war against the King’s pack to kill them, free the other girls, and stop this monstrosity from ruining more lives” he said in one breath.I stared at him in stunned silence for a while as my brain tried to comprehend what he just said, it didn’t take very long though before I not only panicked, but went almost hysterical as I sat up abruptly and almost shouted “Are you out of your minds! We have barely had time to be free of that place and we are still struggling to believe we are even free in the first pace, and you want to go and get you
Andrea’s POV“You look different” I said to Mila curiously as we walked through the store trying to buy clothes for both of us.We met after breakfast because Ryan and Alec both had important pack business to attend to, so I mind linked Mila to come with me to explore the pack for the first time and buy some new clothes per Alec’s suggestion.I wasn’t a shopping addict or anything but that was probably because I never had enough money to go shopping in the first place. But I found the activity quite entertaining and was a good approach to pass the time.Why did I need to pass the time you ask?Because every second I spend away from Alec makes me miss him more. He became the center of my world in just a few days of fully accepting the bond and I will be confident enough to say that he feels the same way if not more considering how every time we meet after spending some time apart, his blue eyes soften with so much love, it makes my heart stutter and my breath catch. Aside from that, th
Alec’s POVI didn’t think Adrian would go all out on his speech to Andy but man he went above and beyond for his apology which confirmed how much he truly regretted his actions against her.I turned my head to see Andy’s reaction and saw her taken aback as well, telling me she also wasn’t expecting those heartfelt words to be said to her by him.She blinked a few times and cleared her throat but her voice still came out a little thick with emotion as she said “Thank you Adrian. I know you had your reasons for what you did so… I… don’t really blame you. I hope too that… you can really see me as a sister one day and forgive me for hurting Alec”“It’s in the past. I get why you did it and I am just grateful that you managed to turn things around” he said gently.She tightened her hold on my hand and I raised it to my mouth and kissed it softly, making her turn her head towards me lovingly.I felt very relieved that I no longer need to stand up to Adrian to protect Andrea from him. Being
Alec’s POVI sat at the head of the meeting table with Andy in my arms, her arms wrapped around my neck and her face buried against the side of my neck.She was still feeling a mixture of anxiousness and insecurity both from the upcoming battle and from being jealous by Davina.I printed soft kisses on her cheek softly as we waited for the portal to appear.Adrian was sitting on my left side with Rhea sitting next to him, while Ryan and Mila were on my right side.I noticed there was one other person missing from the meeting and I turned my head towards Adrian and asked him casually “Derek won’t join us?”He shook his head, speaking firmly “I want him to stay here with the ladies and keep them company until we come back” then followed through the mind link to keep Andy from hearing the real reason “We can’t all go and leave the packs exposed without any figure of authority…. Just in case something happens”I nodded curtly without looking at him and remained quiet after that.A few min
Alec’s POVEventually Adrian’s laughter did turn into coughing following the intense glare he received from Andy after she figured out that he purposefully said what he said to mess with her.“Thank you, I’m actually only three months pregnant, so I’m still not showing” Davina said lightly, oblivious towards the real reason Andrea said what she said.Andy smiled back awkwardly while her cheeks started to blush a little.She directed another intense hard look at Adrian who was smiling back at her innocently.She relaxed more against me and I sensed her heavy mood shifting towards relief.I leaned closer to her and kissed her on the side of her neck where the source of her addicting scent comes from and where I can’t wait to leave my mark on to let the whole world know that this beautiful girl is mine.She melted and cupped my cheek tenderly in one hand.The words I love you were dying to escape from my lips but I held them in barely. I wanted to say them when we are alone, facing each
Alec’s POVShe stared at me with wide, surprised eyes, catching on to my love confession for her.Even though she should have felt my love for her all this time we spent together the last few days, but she still seemed surprised that I said it.Her eyes watered all over again while I felt like her heart was shivering as it was beating irregularly inside her ribcage.“Say it…. Say it again” she pleaded in a thick, vulnerable tone that caused a slash of pain to go through me when I realized how much she wasn’t used to hearing those words throughout her entire life. How much she longed to hear them.“I love you, Andy. I love you beyond limits, beyond words, beyond life. I love you so much I could shout it from the rooftop of this pack house just to let the whole world know that you are mine and mine alone. I love you and will continue to do so and say so for as long as we both shall live, I vow” I said tenderly.She broke into emotional, happy sobs and went down on her own knees to hug m
Alec’s POV“Say it again” I asked softly, my soul requesting to hear this sentence over and over again. I realized that I too longed for that sentence to be said to me. I wasn’t as deprived of love as she was for the past ten years, but let’s just say it’s been a rough month that had me realizing that I needed her in my life now more than ever and was thankful; despite the very horrible circumstances in which we met, that I had finally found her… My fated mate, the one chosen for me by the moon goddess. I pray she forgives me for cursing her out at first because I seriously thought she had it out for me for making this girl my mate, but now I know she was really giving me exactly who I deserve to spend the rest of my life loving and caring for.She smiled, knowing how much her admitting her feelings to me made me very delighted.“I love you so hard, Alec” she said tenderly with a bright smile, the brightest
Alec’s POV Her outburst took me a little by surprise but it kind of made me admire her more. Okay, yes I was trying to protect her from the scary truth, I didn’t want to make her imagine the worst case scenario or make her fears worsen for tomorrow, but she also had a point… kind of. She’s not eight anymore. She will become my Luna and she needs to learn to remain strong in the face of any threat or doom that might or might not come at us in the following years. If she falls apart, the rest of the pack will fall apart as well so she needs to keep her fears well hidden and stand strong despite everything. A part of me wanted to keep her protected and hide her from ever getting hurt or scared again, but a bigger part completely understood her. I said she isn’t weak before and I meant it. She is really strong, so strong because despite falling apart consistently in the past few days, she still picked herself up and handled everything that was thrown at her despite how hard it was to t
