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
Richard's POV The sun was setting as I drove through the narrow streets of Dorset. Ever since Alpha Kane called me about Alexis's disappearance I have been searching for both her and Alex. Everything pointed to Alex and there was no denying the fact that Alex orchestrated the whole thing. A guard from Alpha Kane's pack who was seen knocking his personal guards out was later taken but he didn't give names about who sent him.I’d been searching for Alex for days, following every lead provided by Alpha Kane's agent. Now, finally, I had him. The agent had confirmed he was in a small, run-down hotel on the outskirts of the town. Dorset was far enough from the Shadow Pack’s reach that he probably thought he was safe but Alex should have known better than to think he could hide from me.I parked my car in a quiet alley near the hotel and took a moment to gather myself. My anger was boiling but I couldn’t let it boil over. Not yet. I needed to reason with Alex. If that failed, well… then I w
Alex's POVWe agreed to move to Stowe since Dorset was compromised. Stowe that had always been where I met Anton. After the encounter with my father, Richard, something felt off. He had found us too easily in Dorset, and I wasn’t about to take any chances. How did he know where we were? It wasn’t like I’d left a trail, and I was careful with every move I made. But if he knew once, he could know again, and that meant Alexis wasn’t safe. I couldn’t risk her being taken back to Alpha Kane.At least in Stowe, I knew the terrain better, had more control over the situation, and could ensure we stayed hidden. It was also closer to reaching Anton. Nobody would expect me to be there because it was just a two-hour drive to our pack. The moment we packed our things and arrived at the new hotel in Stowe, I felt a small sense of relief, even though it wasn't for long. Something still didn’t sit right. I felt like I had eyes on me.Days passed with an uneasy calm. Alexis, Elara and I stuck to ourse
Alex’s POVAfter we had taken Anton from that hospital, I knew things had to change. We couldn’t stay in Stowe anymore. Richard and Alpha Kane had far too many resources, and far too many eyes watching for us. If I didn’t find a solution, it was only a matter of time before they found us again and we might not be lucky next time. I had switched with Alexis and took over the wheel, Anton stirred in the back seat as we drove, still weak. He was healing but not so fast as he was meant to.“How far are we to Greenwolf?” He asked. “Less than an hour,” I replied. I glanced at him through the rearview mirror as I checked on him. He coughed slightly. “You’ll be safe there in Greenwolf. At least for a while.”The Greenwolf pack was neutral territory, strong enough to fend off any potential threats, and not aligned with Kane or my father. It was probably the safest option we had at the moment, and it would give us time to regroup and figure out our next steps. It was where I had gone to yea
Alexis's POV Ever since I clocked eighteen my life has been turned upside down with a series of unfortunate events. Every day became a struggle and fear of what might happen to be the next day. I stared through the window of our room, watching some young pups playing around. The Greenwolf pack territory was beautiful and peaceful but even with it all, I couldn’t shake the heaviness in my heart. My mind kept replaying everything Alex had told me, the truth about our parents and the traumas I went through at Nightwolf Pack. My parents were evil. Truly evil. They had poisoned the elders, they had killed Alpha Kent, and they had manipulated and lied their way through everything and now, they were causing even more death.I gripped the edge of the chair I sat on, feeling my nails dig into the wood. How could they have done this? How could they have fooled us for so long? I had grown up believing that they were good people, and that they loved me but now, all I could see were the lies an
Richard's POVEverything was going perfectly as I planned. I leaned back in my chair, a satisfied smirk spread on my face. The meeting with the Elders had gone better than I could have imagined. They had finally made the decision I had been waiting for. Alex had been chosen as the next Alpha of the Shadow Pack, just as I had planned all along. Julia would be thrilled when I told her the news. She wasn't home. After all, this had always been our dream, to have our son rise to the position of Alpha, securing our legacy within the pack for generations to come. But there was still one problem: Alex. With everything that has happened so far, I knew Alex wouldn’t come back willingly especially after finding out the things Julia and I had gone to in order to secure our power. But that was something I could deal with. After all, I had always known how to handle Alex. He was stubborn, but he wasn’t a fool. I had something to pull him back and he will come running back.I just had to set thin
Alex's POVI was sitting in the corner of the training yard, wiping the sweat from my brow as I watched Alexis finish her last round of drills as well. She has been pushing herself above her limit ever since we got to the Greenwolf Pack, training harder than I had ever seen her before. It was almost like she was trying to punch the memories of our parents out of her system and preparing for war. I couldn’t blame her. These past few months have been quite eventful. She had gone through a lot at Kane's pack and also learned a lot of things about our parents. I leaned my head back against the stone wall, trying to let my mind go blank for just a few minutes. I needed to shut it all out. Everything wasn't working well at the moment. Even I and Alexis has been sort of distant. She has pushed herself away from me and I doubt she still wants to be my mate not even when we have no solid findings about our biological parents. I couldn't push things with her and I just see how it plays out.
Alexi's POV The drive back to the Shadow Pack felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. Alexis sat beside me, quiet, her hands folded tightly in her lap. She was nervous, and so was I. We were walking right into the heart of the storm, right back into some serious shit. She had once asked us to go back but deep down I knew she didn't mean it. It felt like it was the right thing to do at that moment after receiving news about the elders dying.When we finally arrived at the packhouse and the messenger told me we could end home till the Elders sent for me and on driving home, the sight of our houses made my stomach twist. The last time I walked out of here, I vowed never to return, but now here I was, being dragged back by threats.I stopped the car in the driveway and I saw them, Julia and Richard, coming out of the house to welcome us as if we were happy being there. My blood boiled at the sight of their calm, smiling faces. How could they act like everything was fine?“Welcome
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
