POV Azalea​

As I pulled up to the hotel I checked my reflection, the scent of humans in the air and the way the sun felt on my skin, and I knew I was in the right place. I had been here before, hiding out, waiting for the heat to die down, but I had always been able to feel the eyes of the pack on me. This time was different. This time, I was truly alone. I grabbed the suitcases out of the trunk and made my way inside, hoping that no one would recognize me.

"Well, aint you the prettiest little thing." I heard a woman say as she smiled at me."Thanks, I think." I smiled back. I knew she meant no harm, but the words still felt wrong. I had been in the pack for so long that I had forgotten what it felt like to be seen as just another human.

As I was checking in I felt the floods start to pour. Not now. I cursed myself. To my astonishment she grabbed my hand and squeezed it then passed me back my money for the room and handed me a key.

"I-I'm sorry."

    POV AzaleaIt had been two weeks since I left and I had finally stopped looking over my shoulder worrying that world would find me. Glenda and Luke were so helpful and I felt guilty not telling them about my past, although they never even asked. Luke got me a job working at his diner as a waitress and Glenda let me stay in the hotel without charge except that I help her out with cleaning once in a while which I am happy to do, she's become like a mom figure.I tried to get my credentials by calling my college direct but after being placed on hold for so long I became paranoid and hung. I don't want to go back...not yet. I know eventually I will need to but I'll cross that bridge when it happens. For now, I'm content with my life. Working at the diner is actually fun and I love being around Luke and Glenda. They are both so nice and genuine. They make me feel like I can trust them and that's something I haven't felt in a long time.I was at work when Luke came to me, he looked at me an

    POV Amaya​​I hadn't seen her since they took her away, my younger sister Azalea. after her husband left I decided it had been long enough dealing with their abuse. I bandaged up my ribs that our parents used as their punching bag, pulled a dark hoodie over my head, and opened up my window. I shimmied down the rooftop and even though it hurt like a bitch, jumped into the tree across the street and climbed down. I ran as fast as I could, not daring to look back until I was a block away.Azalea was in trouble and I needed to find her. I had been searching for her for days, following every lead, every whispered name in the shadows. The farther I got from home, the more I realized how little I truly knew about my own sister. Her trail led me to a small town nestled in the foothills, a place I had never been before. The streets were quiet, the air smelled of pine and freshly baked bread. It was almost too perfect, too peaceful to be the hiding place of someone like her."Amaya?" She said.

    POV Azalea Having my sister around has been just what I needed. She and Luke have been inseparable and through their interactions I have been able to see what a real mate relationship could be. Luke had taken her hunting and fishing, he had taught her what werewolves need to know about tracking, and they had spent many nights telling stories by the fire. They had also taken me with them on some of their excursions, and I found that I was a natural when it came to using a weapon. It made me feel strong and confident, and for the first time in my life, I didn't feel like an outsider.My sister and I had grown closer as well. She had taught me about makeup and clothes, and I had showed her about herbs and nature. We spent hours practicing our fighting skills together, honing our abilities until we were both deadly warriors. Even the other pack members had started to accept me, recognizing the bond between my sister and I. They had even begun to include me in their games and

    POV ThorneAs I pulled up to another pack house I was starting to feel like I would never find her. I had been to around six already and every time it was the same thing. Sorry Alpha, we haven't seen your Luna but if we do we'll get in touch. Where could she have gone? She was upset, I get that but leave the pack? No werewolf left the pack, not my pack. Azalea was being stubborn. She wouldn't even give me a chance to explain, wouldn't even look at me. My wolf doesn't remember anything and if my wolf had sex I would know wouldn't I?"Alpha Lamont, so nice to finally meet you." The man said as he reached out to shake my hand.I studied him. How did he know who I was before I introduced myself? Just then I saw Amaya come up behind him and my eyes went wide. "A-Are you here for Azalea?" She asked and I felt a sigh of relief wash over me. "Is Azalea here with you?" I asked peering inside the house. Amaya shook her head and the man came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist."Az

    Finally, I reached the cabin. It was small and quaint, nestled at the base of a hill. The front door was open, a invitation to come inside. With a deep breath, I stepped inside. The air smelled of pine and wood smoke, and there was a cozy fire crackling in the fireplace. I called out her name, my voice soft and uncertain. There was no answer, then an older woman appeared from the back, she was watching me, her hazel eyes held mine."You won't find your Azalea here, child. She went back to your pack." She said softly then went into the kitchen and began setting the table for two. "Who are you?" I asked her as I watched her busy herself in the kitchen."I'm Glenda, child. I'm a hybrid werewolf who owns the local Inn where your Azalea was staying up until recently. Oh that girl, she's one tough cookie, that one." She said as she spoke of Azalea."How do you know who I am?" I asked and she looked at me, wrapping her long finger nails around a blue talisman. "Oh, I have my wa

    POV Azalea Days went by since my return and after my fall-out with Axel over where I was and what I was doing I started to slowly settle back into the world around me. I didn't, however, take on any duties as the Luna. That was a title I wanted nothing to do with currently, that title reminded me of Thorne and his infidelity. I had heard he went to look for me while Axel stayed behind but I wasn't about to get caught up in emotions again. He probably just went to look for me because he felt guilty for causing my decision to leave in the first place, whatever the reason I could not allow it to influence me in any way, I promised myself I would not, could not fall into that trap again. Sure it would be hard but I had to try.As I was sitting on my front porch I saw a familiar car driving down the road. Thorne had returned. "Hello?" I called out to him as he walked up to the porch."Hello, my love," he said, looking a bit worn out. "I'm sorry for not returning sooner, I had to take

    POV Azalea Glenda looked at Thorne again before leaning in closer to me. "I know you're hurting, Azalea. And I know that Thorne can be...difficult at times. But I also know that he loves you and he's willing to do anything to make things right." She paused, searching my eyes. "Give him a chance to prove it to you."I felt my heart lurch at her words. I wanted to believe her, wanted to believe that Thorne really did love me and that he would change. But at the same time, I was so hurt and angry. I didn't know what to do."I-I don't know," I stammered. "I just need some time."Glenda nodded understandingly. "Of course you do. But don't shut him out completely. He's your mate, Azalea. You belong together..."I furrowed my brows, "How do you know that?" I asked."I beg your pardon, Dear?" She asked me, her eyes searching mine."How do you know we are even meant to be together. The Moon Goddess can be mistaken, she can't always be right, can she?" Glenda's eyes grew wide wi

    POV Azalea As I listened to Glenda, I sighed heavily, leaning against the doorframe. Glenda put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "I know it's hard, but take all the time you need," she said softly. "You don't have to rush into anything." I nodded, feeling a bit of relief wash over me. I wasn't sure if I could ever forgive Thorne for what he'd done, but I also didn't want to lose him completely. I needed time to sort out my feelings, to figure out if there was any way for us to move forward. It didn't help matters that Vanessa seemed to be lurking around every corner either, it really felt as if all the cards were stacked against us and no matter what we did they could fall at any given moment. I didn't want to be constantly looking over my shoulder, constantly worrying about what she might say or do next. I needed to focus on myself, on finding my own happiness and peace. I started up my classes again for business and kept my distance from any duties as Luna of the pack.

    POV Thorne The next morning, I woke up to find Azalea curled up in my arms, her head on my chest. She stirred, stretching lazily as she opened her eyes, and smiled up at me. It was the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen. I ran my fingers through her hair, marveling at how good it felt to have her here with me. "Good morning, Luna," I whispered, kissing her forehead. She ran her hand over my chest, "Good morning, Alpha," she murmured back. "What do you want to do today? You have two options. Option one, stay in bed all day making love or option two, make love in every area of the house?" I asked her with a grin. She giggled, "Well, since we have the whole day...""My plan is to get you pregnant with my pups, baby." I growled, kissing her deeply. "I want our pack to be strong, and I want them to have you as their mother." She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, and I knew what she was thinking. "I love you, Thorne. I will always love you. And I will always be your Luna, no

    POV Azalea I nestled deeper into the warm embrace of my mate's strong arms, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my back. His skin was so smooth, and his muscles so defined. It was as if he were sculpted from marble, and I was his masterpiece. The warm water lapped gently at my skin, easing away the tension that had built up over the past few days. I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling of being so close to him, wanting to stay like this forever."Make love to me, Thorne." I whispered, feeling the need for him to take me, claim me, mark me as his. I arched my back, pressing my body further into his. His hands skimmed down my sides, cupping my hips before sliding lower, and I let out a moan as he found my core. His fingers traced circles around my entrance, teasing and taunting me. I felt the familiar ache begin to build deep within, a longing so intense it threatened to consume me."Is that what my Luna wants from her Alpha?" Thorne whispered, his voice rough with d

    POV ThorneI went to the door and took a deep breath as I opened the door to see her. When I saw her dressed in her favorite sweater and jeans, I felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me. She looked as beautiful as ever. "Hey," I said softly, not knowing what else to say. As she walked in I checked out her ass in the jeans she was wearing. I felt my wolf stirring inside me, wanting to claim her right there. "Stop it." I told him as she took a seat on the sofa, her sweater hanging low enough to give me a glimpse of her perfect valleys beneath. My wolf whined in response. I understood his response. Azalea's body was amazing"So what did you want to talk about?" She asked, glancing around the room before meeting my eyes again. Her gaze was guarded, as if she was waiting for me to spring some sort of trap. I had her he

    POV Thorne The ceremony for the Alpha and Luna of The Gray Ridge Pack had finally arrived and I waited for Azalea to join me. When she arrived wearing a beautiful sapphire blue gown that hugged her curves perfectly, my breath caught in my throat. She looked so stunning it was hard to believe it was her. She approached me and I offered her my arm, leading her to the front of the hall where the rest of the pack was gathering.It was just the two of us and I was happy that Axel didn't accompany her this time and Vanessa wasn't able to attend either. We met the Alpha and Luna from the Gray Ridge Pack and made our rounds, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. I could see the way the other pack members looked at Azalea, their eyes full of admiration and respect. She was truly beautiful, not just on the outside, but inside as well. She was kind, caring, and selfless, always putting others before herself. A true Luna if I ever saw one."Shall we?" I asked and led her to the dance fl

    POV AxelAfter I left Azalea's home I headed to see the only person who I could confide in, the only person who would understand; Vanessa. As I walked into her room she was in the middle of fucking Thorne's brother Victor. She was twisted, I'll give her that. Sleeping with Thorne's brother while stringing along Thorne on a string. After a while I grew tired of their constant moaning and pulled the blankets off, grabbing their attention. "Get the fuck out, Pretty Boy! " I told him, shoving him roughly away from Vanessa. "And you, you little slut, you're lucky I don't kill you right now. " I growled at her, my anger bubbling just beneath the surface. "What the hell do you think you're doing? You know you're mine, you know you're meant for me!" Vanessa looked at me and smiled, licking her lips seductively. "Oh, Axel, you're so dramatic. You know you can't live without me. And I need you just as much. We're perfect together." She crawled across the bed towards me, her fingers trailing
