Alexis's POV
I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. When I heard Elara’s wolf yelled ‘mate’, I was shocked. I knew this was bad and it definitely wasn't going to end well.
“Excuse me, Alpha Kane,” Alaric's voice interrupted my thoughts.
“I will come see you after you're done with breakfast.” He said before taking his leave. He didn't even wait for Alpha Kane's respond.
Elara’s reaction to Alaric wasn’t just shock, it was extreme sadness and I understood why. Being rejected by a mate was one thing, but being mated to the man who was part of the people that killed your family felt like the Moon goddess was cruel to her. My chest tightened as I wa
Alexis's POVI kept looking at Alpha Kane, trying hard not to talk. My mind was still going over his last words, the fact that I had been wearing his dead wife’s clothes this entire time. It was disturbing on so many levels, but I forced myself to push the thought aside. There was nothing I could do about it and what could I say to him exactly.At least now he is planning on taking me shopping. Telling him I wasn't interested in going with him was going to fall on his deaf ears.I took a deep breath and asked, “Where are we going for the shopping?”Alpha Kane took a sip of his drink, he was really into the meal unlike me, I was only picking at the food.
Alexis's POVThe drive to the pack mall was suffocating. I sat in the passenger seat, my body rigid and tense. Alpha Kane was seated beside me. Alpha Kane's chauffeur was taking us to the mall. I could feel Alpha Kane's eyes flicker toward me every so often, and it made my skin crawl. I kept my gaze out of the window, watching the trees blur by, trying to mentally escape the confined space. This was the first time I'm seeing outside of Alpha Kane's pack.Elara rode with two of Alpha Kane’s personal guards in a separate car which was right behind us. I could only imagine how she felt, sitting with them in such close quarters too. I tried to take her mind off yesterday with little stuffs here and there and it worked.The silence in our car was thick, an
Alexis's POVThe boutique was luxurious, filled with racks of different elegant clothing and displays of expensive accessories. I felt out of place among the racks of designer clothes. I didn’t want to be here, especially not with Alpha Kane, but I knew I had to play along.As I browsed through the racks, trying to focus on picking something, Alpha Kane’s words echoed in my head about meeting the Elder Council. The idea of being introduced as his Luna made me sick to my stomach.Elara moved quietly beside me, her eyes scanning the clothes without much interest as well. I could tell she wasn't much into the shopping like I was too and she might still be thinking about the mate thing. The rejection, words, the pain. It was all too much for a
Alex's POVBy the time I finished my training I was exhausted. Sweat dripped down my back. My fists ache from pounding into the training dummy. I wasn’t just working out, I was fighting my frustration, and the gnawing questions that had been running through me since I met Bergan.It had been days since our meeting, and there had been no word from him. No message. No update. Nothing. The silence was deafening, and it left a pit in my stomach. I couldn’t help but wonder if Bergan had sold me out. I had trusted Anton, but Bergan? He wasn’t my friend, and recently just met him, he could have gone straight to Alpha Kane and told him everything.I was running out of time, and I didn’t know if I should still put my faith in Bergan. The thought of Berga
Alexis’s POVThe council meeting room in the Night Wolf Pack was more beautiful I had expected. The elders sat around a table with Alpha Kane at the edge chair. I was seated beside him. A chair I'm sure was meant for his Luna. As I sat next to Alpha Kane, I clasped my hands together to keep them from trembling, I fought the urge to shrink under the weight of the gazes that were on me.Alpha Kane had brought me to the council meeting so I could be introduced to the Elders of the Night Wolf Pack as his mate and future Luna. I felt so uneasy as their eyes kept falling back at me when they spoke. I was lost in thought as I tried to keep myself from fidgeting.“... Alexis Reinhardt…” I heard Alpha Kane's voice mentioning my name brought me out
Alpha Kane’s POVThroughout the meeting Alexis was so uncomfortable, she knew bringing her to the council meeting was the first step to making her my Luna. After the Elders acceptance, she undergoes Luna’s training and then the Luna’s ceremony will be done where we will both make each other. The Elders accepted her with no objection, second thought or someone raising any doubts. I was expecting Elder Owen to speak but he was mute throughout the meeting and deep down he must be boiling in anger. I wasn't too concerned about it, I knew how to put him in his place. After Alexis left the council room, I remained seated, listening to the Elders as they spoke between themselves, their voices was filled with the satisfaction of seeing their Alpha finally bring forth a Luna. They have been asking me for years now, urging me to make a decision, to choose a mate for the Night Wolf Pack. Today, they finally got what they wanted.Most of them seemed pleased, especially Elder Marcus, the oldest
Alexis's POV “A friend wants to know how you're doing.”That was all it said. Just a few words, but they hit me like a lightning bolt.I stared at the note, my mind spinning. Who was this from? Could I trust it? Was this really a message of hope, or was it some sort of trap?I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the words over and over again. I tucked the note carefully into the folds of my dress.What does the note mean?Who was the friend?After I had left the council room, my mind was buzzing with everything that had happened. Alpha Kane had introduced me to the Elders, and I was no longer just another prisoner in his pack. I was now his soon-to-be Luna. The weight of that realization hit me as I walked and the thought of being tied to him in such a way made my stomach twist.The memory of that stranger’s greeting flashed back into my mind. The man who called himself Bergan, Alpha Kane's Zeta, who had approached me outside the council room, someone I’d never seen before, had h
Alexis POVThe Luna training started the next day after the council meeting. I was getting impatient and it was as if my life had taken on a new rhythm, one that I couldn’t escape from, no matter how hard I tried. Every morning, I was led to a large study room inside the Nightwolf pack’s main house, where a woman named Ingrid, an older wolf with a no-nonsense attitude, would spend hours drilling me on the history of the Nightwolf pack, its customs, and what was expected of a Luna. It was so boring and I wasn't one bit interested. I hated every second of it.Today was no different. Ingrid sat at the head of the table, her eyes scanning an old, leather-bound book that detailed the pack's ancient traditions, while I sat opposite her, struggling to focus on the words that spilled from her mouth and trying hard not to doze off.“The Nightwolf pack was founded over three centuries ago by the first Alpha, Thorne Nightshadow,” she said. “He was a fierce warrior, undefeated in battle, and the
Alex's POVA month laterI was relaxing at home after training when Alpha Mark sent for me. I sat on the porch of the cabin I shared with Alexis, sipping a cup of coffee.Alexis was back from work. She had been trained on how to teach young pups basic things since she had always loved to have kids around her. She was reading a novel beside me on the porch. We had been through a lot and thought we had found a life here. A new beginning, we called it. Away from our parent's tainting.The sound of footsteps approaching us made us alert and turned to the direction. I looked up to see Killian, a pack member of Greenwolf walking towards the cabin. Killian was a newfound friend that we both got to be a lover of the game.“Good afternoon,” he greeted with a smile.“Hello Alexis, looking beautiful as always,” he teased Alexis as he always did.“You've come to get your ass whooped as usual,” I joked. We both played soccer around this time of the day. “Don't get over your head, I might just co
Alexis's POV He groaned, his tongue slipping into my mouth again. His hand glided over my shirt and he pushed back, kneeling in-between my legs as he unbuttoned his shirt, while I pulled my top over my head. I felt Alex's hand grip the waistband of my pants. I lifted my butt so he could remove them and he dropped them off by the side of the bed before staring down at me.Tyson kissed me gently, his lips moving against mine and he sucked my lower lip in his mouth. Sparks rush over my skin when grinded his hips against mine. His erection pressing against me and I gasp at the feel of the sparks rushing over my skin straight to my pussy.His lips devouring mine as he tastes every inch of my mouth, his tongue demanding as it fights mine for dominance which I let him have. His hand moved down my side and he growled against my lips when he cupped my breast. I rolled my hips against him, my hand moving down his chest and abs to pants. I pushed it down a little, his dick now free as he took o
Chapter 130Alexis's POVTwo Weeks LaterLiving here in the Greenwolf pack these past weeks has been incredible and one of the best things that’s ever happened to me since Alpha Kane kidnapped me to the Nightwolf pack months back. It's been peaceful. The shadows of Julia and Richard lurking in the shadows no longer loomed over us. Their punishment was out of our hands now, with the council in charge. All that mattered to me was that Alex and I could finally move forward without looking over our shoulders. Alpha Kane was dead too and the new Alpha was in no way interested in us. I leaned against Alex’s shoulder as we sat curled up in the living room of the house we’d been given, watching a movie. I had never imagined that after everything, we would find peace in such a simple way. I glanced up at him, taking in the relaxed smile on his face. He pulled me closer in between his laps, placed my head gently on his chest and I felt my heart skip a beat. “Do you like the movie?” I asked s
Alex's POVThe Next DayAs I stood in front of the Shadow Pack’s central gathering hall. I had an important task at hand. Exposing my parents' horrible deeds.The thought twisted my stomach. It wasn't an easy task but I knew it was something I had to do. It was time everyone else knew what they've been up to eventually and I would never want to be caught as an accomplice covering up their evil acts. Alexis stood beside me, her hand gripping mine tightly. Her presence was a reminder of what was important, of why I had to do this. We had both been victims of my parents' twisted ambitions. She had been kidnapped, just like me, raised in lies and manipulated for power.After the fight settled, I had called Beta Conor to inform the elders and pack members that I would love to address everyone before the coronation day. Beta Conor didn't question me since I was going to be the new Alpha. He knew he had to do whatever I wanted so he didn't get on my bad side. The elders were inside, along
Alex’s POVThe Moonlight was meant to make the atmosphere peaceful on a normal circumstances but today its gives an unsettling feeling to the turmoil within me. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of it pressing down on me. My heart pounded in my chest at the thought of what we were about to do and the danger it holds.Battleground isn’t on my favorite places to be and have been doing more of it this past few months. As I crouched behind the tree line, I glanced over at the fighters from the Greenwolf pack who had come to help me. I looked into their face and the realization that I was bring some of them to their graves dawned on me. Yet, they knew what was at stake. My eyes scanned the area ahead, and I could see the goons guarding the place where Alexis was being held. Alpha Kane was here, his car with the his pack's crest was packed outside and so were his warriors. I gritted my teeth. A big coincidence to be here say night he's here as well. Thank the Mo
Alpha Kane’s POVSitting in my office, I stared out the window at the night sky. My thoughts raced, circling back to the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about, Alexis. It been weeks since she left. The Elders are now growing impatient, constantly asking where Alexis was and when the Luna ceremony would finally take place. I had tried my best to come up different excuses like telling them she was visiting her parents, but I knew that lie wouldn’t hold up much longer.Richard told me she was back to the pack but he didn't wants to bring her back right away so he can put Alex under control but now he had called.Alexis was being held at the outskirts of the Shadow Pack. He said I could come and get her.That smug bastard. Richard had been playing me from the beginning. He had promised me Alexis as a term for our alliance and I had no choice but to take her as my Luna, despite knowing she wasn’t my mate. Richard had later revealed while we were searching for they that Alexis and Alex
Alexis’s POVIt had been a few hours since Alex left the house. He went to see Anton in town. After much thought about what to do, we felt the right thing is to bring in someone more powerful and influential. I wasn’t sure what was making me feel so uneasy, but the nagging sense that something wasn’t right refused to leave me. Maybe it was because of what happened the last time he left me alone in the house or it was just the after-effects of everything I had been through in the past few months. Whatever it was, I couldn't shake it.I tried to distract myself by checking through reels online. But none of it helped. Then, I heard the front door open. I went outside, expecting to see Alex but instead, standing in the doorway were Julia and Richard. “Lexis, how are you doing sweet?” Julia asked, with a sweet smile as she walked towards me.“I'm okay,” I said, turning my back to leave.“What of Alex?” Richard asked, scanning around with his eyes.“Out to get things,” I responded quickly
Alexi's POV A few days later, I was summoned to the Council meeting. They told me they've consulted the pack shaman and a date will be picked soon for the Alpha's coronation. I might not be able to undergo the necessary training. They want to hasten the whole process. I sat in the room and I couldn't help but wonder how the Elders would react when they found out my parents had been orchestrating and manipulating lots of things going on in this pack. Richard expected to make a move during the meeting but I said nothing and after the meeting, I slipped out to avoid unnecessary talks. I knew after I left, there would be other talks between the elders so I made my way home quickly. Julia was busy. She was in charge of getting the whole thing needed for the coronation.On getting home, without wasting any more time, I grabbed my things and made my way back to the Greenwolf Pack. The drive felt like it took forever. I kept imagining Alexis in some cold, dark place, held prisoner because o
Alex's POV “Fuck,” I banged the steering wheel. All hopes were dashed when my instincts told me I was being followed. Meeting Alpha Mark was meant to be a secret but unfortunately they knew I was up to something now. We've been portraying the good children since we went back to Shadow Pack and tried to uncover things in secret. We've looked for clues at home when our parents weren't around. Checked out their study room and the documents but nothing. After Ophelia said every lead she gets has been a long list of dead people, I knew this was out of my hands and my parents were too influenced, the more reason I had to involve Alpha Mark. Now I'm being followed which says a lot. Whoever was following me must be working for my parents or Alpha Kane, yet Alpha Kane will still have to report back to Richard. I stepped on the accelerator and drove faster, turning in different directions, to confirm the black sedan car was trailing after me and I was right, it took every turn I took as wel
