Alex's POV The drive to Stowe felt like an eternity and at one point it felt like it was the longest journey I had ever taken. I wish I could teleport. I made my way to the meeting spot where Bergan and I had first met. My heart raced. Bergan had news about Alexis. Alexis, it had been too long since I last saw her, and each day that passed felt like I was losing her further to Alpha Kane. The fear of not getting to her in time gnawed at my insides. When Bergan contacted me earlier, I couldn’t hide my relief. I had been waiting for words from him, any update, and finally, he had reached out. He told me to meet him at the same small bar in Stowe where we’d had our first discussion. It wasn’t the most discreet place, but it worked. My mind was already racing with possibilities. I approached the bar and I pushed open the door. Bergan was already seated in the same corner booth, sipping a drink as he stared into the distance. When he saw me, he raised a hand in greeting.Sliding into t
Elder Owen’s POV Alpha Kane didn't fulfill his promise. My gut was right, he wasn't ready to make my daughter the Luna. After everything she had done just to satisfy his needs. Just thinking about how he spoke during the meeting and held Alexis pissed me off. I paced across the room, my hands behind my back as Lila sat across from me, her eyes filled with anger as well. She was close to tears. She had always loved him and wanted to be by his side.“How could he do this?” she asked.“He promised me, Father. He said I would be his Luna. And now, he’s making that filthy whore, Alexis, his Luna instead?” she blurted out.I could feel my rage building up as well. Alpha Kane had indeed betrayed us, gone back on his word. I had supported his rise to power when the former Alpha died and helped him get the important details needed to make his post as the Alpha of the Nightwolf pack easy because I was the closest to the former Alpha and I did it to secure Lila’s future. She was meant to sit a
Richard’s POVSome days back, I and Julia had decided to come back home after reaching out to the elders and none gave us the desired response we wanted. The few that had supported Alex before were having a change of mind. Julia had suggested we wanted back at the Alpha’s mansion because of the documents we were trying to find in the Alpha’s private office but we needed to go back home and strategize.The documents were important and more reason Alex must become the Alpha to help destroy them. They were evidence the Alpha had collated against me before he died, some missing funds I had used and illegal business deals I had taken. I sat in my study room, my hands resting on the desk as Julia paced back and forth in front of me. I could see the tension in her every step of hers. We were both restless and trying to think wide. “We can’t afford to let the Elders spoil things for us,” Julia said. “If they vote for Lan to be the Alpha, everything we’ve worked for would be in vain and we m
Alex’s POVEver since Julia and Richard came back home, I have been avoiding interacting with them. We hardly say much to each other and just exchange greetings. I wasn't comfortable staying together with them under one roof but I didn't have a choice. Julia had tried making conversations with me but I had successfully avoided them with ease. I made sure I avoided close range and I never sit in the living room or went to the kitchen whenever I knew Julia was there.I was in the basement training when I had the urge to go confront them. I wanted to have a heart to heart talk and tell them they would still be my parents no matter what because they raised me even if they weren't my biological parents. I wanted to let them know I had plans on getting Alexis out and to leave the Shadow Pack with her. I had checked them in their room and the living room but they weren't there so I went to the study room. I hadn’t planned to overhear anything, but as soon as I approached, I heard their voic
Alex's POV I was to meet Bergan today at our usual spot, Lost Hour Bar, since I was closer I decided to drive there and wait for him. I sat and waited for him in a corner sipping a drink. After a while, I checked my watch. Bergan was already running late. Something wasn’t right. Bergan was the type that kept to time.I heard a loud chime from my phone notification so I pulled out my phone to check and a message notification popped up on my screen. “Sorry, I can't make it today. I’ll call when I’m free.”I frowned, rereading the message. Bergan never cancelled our meetings, not without a good reason. My mind immediately jumped to worst-case scenarios. Has something happened to him? Was he in danger? Or worse, had he been caught by Alpha Kane? I stared at the screen, my heart racing as anxiety clawed at my insides. I wanted to call him back, to demand answers, but I couldn't. Bergan wouldn’t cancel unless it was serious.After a while, I took the last sip and went to my car. I tossed
Alexis's POV The Lunar Eclipse Festival was grand. The hall was decorated and it screams luxury. From the flowers to the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the lightnings. The room was filled with guests, pack members, visiting Alphas, Betas, and other high-ranking wolves, all dressed in their finest clothes. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. It was a joyous occasion, but for me, it was suffocating.I stood by Alpha Kane’s side, my hand loosely resting in the crook of his arm with a smile on his face. He had sent a dress to my room earlier, a red gown that fit perfectly, hugging my curves and trailing behind me. The fabric was luxurious, and soft against my skin, but it felt like a cage because of my situation.I looked around the hall as I saw different faces in hopes of seeing any familiar person. Since Bergan approached me during one of my training sessions with Ingrid and told me about Alex he hasn't contacted me again. Alpha Kane had a smug look on his face as h
Alexi's POV The moment Alexis stepped out of the car my heart felt like it might burst. I have been waiting anxiously, pacing up and down where we agreed to meet. When a car came into view and flashed its light twice I knew Bergan’s man was here. The sight of her stepping out of the car, alive, and safe, was like a weight lifting off my shoulders. I walked forward out of the shadows, into the light illuminated by the car headlight, Alexis ran towards me and I pulled her into my arms. “Alex!” she whispered as she burst into tears. I held her tight. “I’ve got you,” I murmured. “You’re safe now, Alexis. You’re safe.” I pulled back, looking up at her face, lean and tired. I could see the toll of everything on her. I noticed another lady beside her but this wasn't time to ask questions so I quickly went to the driver who brought them. I walked to the driver's side who never got down from the car, a man Bergan had arranged. “Thank you for bringing her here safely.” He just nodd
Alpha Kane's POVThe echoes of music and laughter from the Lunar Eclipse Festival filled the grand hall, I could say I was vibing to the mood. I saw Lila at the corner staring at me but immediately she saw me, she looked away, I could tell at that moment it was a signal to follow her but u couldn't. I was trying to keep a watchful eye on Alexis myself. Alaric was on a business trip and won't be back till tomorrow, I had just my bodyguards with me. They were the only ones I trusted and I wouldn't want to involve the other guards for fear of raising suspicions. When Bergan called me about someone requesting to see, I was reluctant to leave but it could be a good business deal. On leaving the hall, I asked Bergan to bring him to my office.When the door to my office opened I expected an Alpha but the Alpha of Moonbay’s son, Ethan came in. I was a little disappointed but I couldn't cut him off and I only asked him what he had for me. He talked about his fathe
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
