Alpha Kane’s POV Alaric came in with a list of packs with low security and easily accessible packs to raid. I was going through the documents and strategy plans of how to move, the pack's layout was obtained from insiders, willing to sell their pack for peanut shares. The thought of my situation kept kicking in and was distracting me from working. I leaned back in my chair, taking a moment to rub my temples. It had been a long day, we had lots of paperwork and endless discussions about the upcoming preparations for the pack. The workload was a constant reminder of the responsibilities I carried on my shoulders. As the alpha with a lot of things on checklist, there was never a moment to fully relax, not when I had a lot of things to accomplish. Alaric, my beta, sat in the chair opposite mine at the other side of the large oak desk, reviewing a few documents too. His tall, broad frame loomed over the paperwork as he flipped through the pages with seriousness. We had been discussi
Alpha Kane's POV "That was years ago, Kane. No one remembers the details, and those who do are too afraid to speak about it openly. This time, we control the whole thing. We can frame one of the maids, say she poisoned Alexis. The pack will believe it if we plant the right story." Alaric clarified. My mind raced. Alexis had been so confident she will end up getting out of here. She was stubborn, and completely unwilling to fall in line but there was something about her—a fire that made me want to break her, control her, and keep her under my thumb. Killing her felt too final, too... messy. I can't deny I lust for her body too."Why poison her at all?" I asked, leaning back in my chair. "I could just keep her as a prisoner, locked away where she can’t do any harm. She’s of no use to me dead." I said.Alaric shook his head. "Richard will eventually want to see results might have spies around as we speak. He’ll expect you to make Alexis y
Alpha Kane's POV After Alaric left I sat in my office in silence, staring, sipping wine to help me focus. My mind drifted back to how all of this started, to the moment Richard approached me with his proposal. Richard was ambitious and so was I. He knew that. We have had a series of businesses in the past.Two years back I had been reaching out to other packs for months, trying to secure new business deals and partnerships, especially with the Shadow Pack but Alpha Kent, before he died. He had turned me down flat when I approached him, saying that he didn't trust me and he had heard different rumours about me.Some months back when we met to discuss business. We met in a town, a place far enough away from our packs where we could talk without drawing too much attention. Werewolves have sensitive ears so the best way to discuss in secrets is to go meet where only humans reside. I had been sitting in the back of a lounge, sipping a drink, when Richard walked in. "Alpha Kane," he greet
Alexis's POV The first day I worked my ass off without eating, I fell and passed out after taking a shower and wrapped my hair with a towel. Elara brought me dinner then saw me on the ground and called for help. The pack doctor came to check on me in my room. He told me I was having a Pack Bond Strain due to leaving my pack and my body was trying to connect to this pack which was causing mental and physical exhaustion. He said I would be fine and it was nothing serious. I wasn’t sure anyone told Alpha Kane about it and I hope they didn't. I didn't want his pity or want him to feel like he was achieving what he wanted. I don't want my body to connect to this pack. Since it wasn't something serious I started working the next day.I was scrubbing the floor when one of the guards appeared."Alpha Kane wants to see you," he said.My heart sank immediately after I told me. Being summoned by Alpha Kane was never a good sign. My hands still ached from the relentless cleaning, my body weak
Elara’s POV I turned eighteen today.I dreamt about my wolf. Her name is Lupa. Her fur was a shining silver coat like moonlight. When I finally woke up from my dream, I heard her voice in my head so I knew at once that my wolf had appeared in my dream.I got up and did my usual routine. I was told by a maid that Alpha Kane had requested Miss Alexis's presence for breakfast at the dining room so I made my way to her room to get her. Today was my birthday but the realisation of my slavery weighed heavily on me as I walked slowly to Alexis's room. I was in no mood to be in a hurry today. My footsteps echoed softly against the stone floor as I walked. Ten years. It had been ten long years since everything had been ripped away from me, leaving me trapped here almost forgetting who I was.My eighteenth birthday should have been a day of celebration. It should have been spent with my family, with the pack I was born in. I remembered my last birthday with my family, she gave me the family h
Elara’s POVAlexis and I made our way toward the dining room where Alpha Kane awaited Alexis. We were both silent and only the heels of Alexis making sound was what kept echoing. I was lost in thought and I tried to focus on my breathing, on keeping calm, but it was hard. The sensation of my wolf lingered. Her power was there, trying to push itself beneath the surface because I hadn’t shifted yet."Elara, are you okay?" Alexis asked which brought me back from my thought.I forced a smile, though I wasn’t sure I could hide my troubled mind not being visible on my face. "I’m fine."Alexis’s gaze softened, and she squeezed my arm lightly. "You don't need to lie to me."
Elara’s POVI stood frozen, my heart hammering in my chest, as the word mate kept echoing in my head. The world seemed to spin around me as Alaric’s wolf screamed the same thing, his eyes locked on mine. I never expected to find my mate in this pack. I hate this pack. I never mingled with the other servants.How could this be happening? How could he be my mate?I had spent years imagining what it would be like to find my mate and how I would find him. I never thought it would be Alpha Kane’s Beta, Alaric, of all people and yet, the pull between us was undeniable. My wolf was howling, desperate to close the distance between us but resentment was so deeply buried in my heart. This wasn’t right.
Alexis's POVI 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
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
