Noah Today is the day of the delivery. And they still failed. I sigh as I sit in the bustling waiting room, watching my Beta, Daniel, pace back and forth as he chews on his nails. It’s a habit he has used to do since childhood when he is nervous. I usually would tell him that he has to stop that because it undermines his authority, but tonight, he can do whatever the fuck he wants. We grew up together in the Black Amethyst Pack and there was no doubt, since the beginning, that I would have named him my Beta after becoming Alpha of the pack. As he met his mate and she got pregnant, I was so incredibly happy for him. It was the best thing ever to see him become a Dad and he was so elated by the fact. Unfortunately, his mate, Samantha got very sick and risked losing the pup on several occasions. Even though the doctors of my pack managed to save the pup and keep her healthy enough to continue the pregnancy, the entire situation was taking a great toll on her. She got weaker and
April I face the two huge men as they glare down at me with my hands clenched at my sides. I fail to keep them from shaking as I gulp, preparing to talk, even if I don’t even know how I should start. “Hi, I am April. Can I talk to you in private real quick?” The Alpha and the doctor lifts their brows practically simultaneously as Daniel looks down at me with a saddened expression which breaks my heart. Clearing my throat, I put a bit more confidence in my voice as I wouldn’t trust myself as well in such a situation. “Please, I know that it might sound strange, but I need you to trust me.” This is incredibly stupid of me, but I have to take the risk as I know that I will feel guilty all my life if I don’t try to save these two lives. Their eyes glaze over as they must be sharing their thoughts of me through their mind link while the doctor looks between us confused. Poor human, he must think of this situation as being incredibly insane. As the Alpha clicks his tongue, I nearly
AprilThe air gets knocked out of my lungs as the she-wolf runs into me, hugging me happily.She lets go with a smooch on my cheek and a giggle while I stare at her dumbfounded.“Hello to you too.”She giggles again, squeezing my arms as she greets me with a melodic voice. “Hi, I’m Daisy. It’s so nice to meet you.”“Hi, I’ m April,” I say, dumbfounded and turn around to look at the Alpha. He chuckles, shaking his head. “That’s Daniel’s sister. Don’t mind her, she is just very extroverted.” Daisy blows her cheek, pouting cutely. “Well, sorry for being extra. But I just wanted to be kind to the savior of my sister-in-law’s and nephew’s life.” “Still too much, Daisy. People might feel uncomfortable because of your extra.” They start bickering while I think about how fast good news spreads. I guess that her brother must have mind linked her and as I continue along my string of thoughts, I suddenly jerk up, gasping. “Oh, no!” Alpha Noah and Daisy look at me with a confused expression.
April“How do you like it?” Alpha Noah asks me as soon as he has closed the door behind him. I just sit down in a large armchair in what seems to be Daniel’s office, my hands pressed together between my knees. “It’s very beautiful here, thank you again for bringing us here and accepting us as new pack members. We really wouldn’t have known where to go next.” My stutter doesn’t actually help my case as I watch him take leisure steps to sit down in the armchair standing in front of mine. He flashes me a smile, my heartbeat accelerating as fear expands in my chest. “I’m glad.” My wolf paces up and down in my mind, admonishing me to stay calm and not say anything that could bring us in trouble as he shifts in his seat, making me flinch. “Your mother said your last name was Angel. Is that correct?”“Yes,” I answer lowly, my throat turning dry. He nods, letting his eyes roam along the pictures hanging on the walls. “We have a nice school here, and I guess your mother will find a good
April “Ms. Angel, my name is Doctor Koppler. I’m the head physician of the pack hospital. I will be leading the testing because of your amazing skill at curing even the complicated disease of the Beta Female if you are okay with it.”I cringe as I’m still not used to being the false surname we gave them.“Please, call me April, and yes, I’m okay with that,” I say with a smile as the doctor sits down on a round chair with wheels.He pushes himself off the table, rolling towards me as I sit on the bed watching him.As he has just started taking my vitals and listening to my breathing and my heartbeat as Alpha Noah comes in.Doctor Koppler rolls to a sideboard to take his appliances to take a sample of my blood while the Alpha just stands there, watching us with crossed arms.He wears a frown as he observes every one of Doctor Koppler starts filling small vials with my blood.I try to keep calm, ignoring his intense gaze, fighting the urge to squirm in my seat.Doctor Koppler pushes him
ScottFive Years LaterMy eyes scan the training camps as I watch my higher-ranked warriors training with the newly shifted wolves.Their shouting rebooms in the valley-like camps, the coldness of the air blowing against my skin and leaving a piercing pain on it.Otherwise, it is really silent, and I like this.The concentration, the devotement, the raw power they are trying to set free.“Alpha Scott?” A feeble voice disrupt my train of thought, making me look down at the petite she-wolf who appeared at my side.I redirect my gaze onto the training warriors with my arms still crossed as I grunt, “Can I help you, Ana?”“Erm…” she says shyly, making me roll my eyes. “Doctor Simmeons asked me to monitor the training and how the injured wolves, who are already able to participate in the training again, are recovering.Whatever, I think to myself and nod without taking my gaze from the training wolves. “That’s alright, Ana. Thank you.”She giggles stupidly, caressing a strand of hair behin
ScottAs the training is over, I start walking back to my office, taking fast and long steps.Luckily, I get to avoid another interaction with Ana, who is already charging towards me to chat with me casually as the training ends.She shouldn’t feel so comfortable around me anyway.It gives me the ick.But as she is the assistant of the pack doctor, there isn’t much I can do about this. I have to work with her on a daily basis, so I try to keep it friendly.And not to make it more awkward as it already is.Nearly reaching my office, I find my Scarlett in the hallway that leads to it. My sister is hanging a photo of my father with puffy eyes, and I halt in my tracks to help her.She sighs as she lets go of the heavy frame, allowing me to find the hooks that were applied to the wall to hold the picture.I hang the picture with a heavy feeling in my heart, pushing out a deep breath as I wrap my arm around her shoulders, looking up at the picture.“It’s a nice picture of him. Don’t you thi
ScottI have my head buried in my hands as I sit in the hallway of the pack hospital, waiting for some good news.The doctors and nurses scurry around us while the rooms and even the hallways are filled with injured warriors.Even though we won, I couldn’t feel any joy about it, not even for a second.The destruction the attacking rogues and pack members of the White Opal Pack had left behind was much higher than we could have ever could have had predicted.It sadly looks like we underestimated them and they came to make us pay for that, taking advantage of our perception that we were more powerful than anyone.And we are surely the strongest, but they had the better plan.That’s for sure.I inhale a deep breath, straightening my spine to sit upright and stare down the hallway.My chest squeezes as I see the desperation on the faces of the hospital staff, who usually is known to remain calm and collected. They treat their patients with everything they can, but even I can see that most
Scott “Hey, how are you feeling?” I put my hands into my pocket as I stand at the foot end of the hospital bed where Kane is lying. “How is your wound doing? Still hurting much?” Kane clears his throat, his voice coming out raspy as his mouth must be dried out. “It’s okay.” “Wait, let me fetch you some water.” I move to his bedside table, filling up a glass of water. “You don’t need to—” he starts, his voice failing and he takes a deep breath. “Thank you, Alpha.” I know that I’m the last person he wants next to his bed or handing him water. He never forgave me for not believing April and banning her and her mother from the pack. He told me over and over again that I was making a big mistake, something that infuriated me so much that I even had him tried for treason. And I would have punished him for it if my father wouldn’t have stopped me. Since then, every respect he had for me was gone, and after my father's death, it just got worse. He only talks to me if he has to d
April “Are you two fucking?” I turn around, my eyes widening as I watch Scott enter the room and close the door behind him. Oh, sorry, Alpha Scott. “That’s none of your concern, Alpha Scott. Now, open the door and let me return back to my friends.” I roll back my shoulders but don’t move as I am paralyzed with fear. His eyes change color shortly before he scrunches up his face in disgust. “Answer my question, April.” “Ha,” I snort, fighting to keep my poker face upright. “You might call yourself an Alpha, but it has been a long time since you were MY Alpha.” He regains his frown, glaring at me as I finally feel able to move and step closer. “Let me leave, Alpha Scott. Or I swear that you will regret it.” “How, April?” he sneers, laughing mockingly, his cold demeanor causing a shiver to ripple through me. He leans closer, and I keep myself from retreating, my heart picking up its pace. “Are you going to call for your beloved Alpha Noah? Do you think he could take me dow
April The moment I step into the entrance of Beta Daniel’s house, I regret the fact that I didn’t follow my mom’s advice and didn’t cancel. I swallow a groan as I am welcomed by omegas opening the door and serving us champagne off of sparkling treys. “Thank you,” I flash them a smile, and laugh as they compliment my mother’s dress, making her spin around to show them just how beautiful it is. They lead us to the backside of the house, and while I feel an uncomfortable pressure on my chest, my mother gasps. “Oh, how pretty. Sammy really outdid herself.” She is right, though, as the fairy lights and the lovingly affixed decoration really match the summer-night vibe perfectly. Taking a deep breath, I must recognize that the Beta and the Beta Female must have transformed our private dinner into a banquet and have invited the pack members of the Blue Amber Pack. I spot Alpha Noah in the crowd who waves at me enthusiastically, flashing me his pearly whites, and I swallow my sig
April I clench my jaw as I walk up the stairs leading to my mother’s bedroom. “Mom,” I sigh, opening the door slowly. She looks up at me and flashes me a bright smile as she puts her book down. “Yes, my love.” “Could we talk?” I ask, and she turns on the window sill she is sitting on. Tucking her hands beneath her thighs, her expression turns into worry. “Sure. Did something happen?” “Kind of,” I say, sitting down on the side of the bed. “There is something I want to tell you because I don’t want you to get surprised by the rumors or a weird encounter.” She squirms, sitting up straight. “Goddess, is it that bad?” “Yeah.” I nod, pushing out a deep sigh. “It’s Scott. He and his pack member came here, looking for medical assistance. As it seems his pack was attacked pretty badly.” Gasping, she throws her hand in front of her face. “Someone we know?” I nod again, lowering my head. “They are injured pretty badly. But you don’t have to worry. They will be fine. I’ll do m
April By the time that I stomp past Samantha, I’m fuming. Not even a little bit sad anymore. Samantha’s voice blends into the background as I open the door and ignore her. She lifts her eyebrows as I enter the Beta’s house and hurry up the stairs. I swing the door to Daisy’s room open, making the door bang into the wall, and she jumps. Sitting up in the love seat she was sitting, she puts down her book and watches me walk in with a sulk. I slump down to sit on her bed and sigh deeply. “Babes, what happened?” she asks me and I straighten my spine back up. Looking at her, I purse my lips, and just tell her straight out, “I just got rejected.”She bursts out in laughter but at seeing me lift a brow at her, she stops laughing immediately, her jaw hitting the floor. “Aren’t you fucking with me right now?” I purse my lips, shaking my head and she gasps. “Who?” With a sigh, I lift my eyes to the ceiling, “Scott.” Her expression falls as I clear my throat, sneering, “Sorry! I meant

Thank you so much for your patience
Scott I can’t believe this. After everything that happened and after all the pain we had to go through, I reach the one person who could save us, and find April. I still can’t believe that she is the miracle doctor! My blood is boiling as I think of how long I had been looking for her, afraid that she would have been hurt or even worse. In the meantime, she was here. Living the best life as her doctor teacher’s favorite pet. What an idiot I had been! My wolf has retreated to the back of my mind and keeps growling as he tries to get over the pain. He seems to be angry at me for having rejected her right away. And as I think of it, I must admit that even if he was incredibly angry at her for hurting our mate, and still frustrated at my behavior as I kept looking for April, he fell quiet as soon as he recognized April as his mate. He might be angry at me for the rejection, but I couldn’t care less. April is responsible for Hailey’s death, and I don’t think that I could ever for
April “I, Scott Walker, Alpha of the Blue Amber Pack, reject you, April Foster, Daughter of Jax Foster, former Beta of the Blue Amber Pack, as my mate and future Luna.” His words pierce my heart like daggers, enhancing the pain of the rejection washing over me. I feel myself shaking as my wolf trembles at the stabbing pain, trying her best to cope with the painful rejection. After so many years, he hurts me deeply again. Holding my head high, I look him straight into his eyes, my body still yearning for him to inch even closer and press his lips on mine. The damn attraction of the mate bond. But it will soon disappear. “I, April Foster, cast out of the Blue Amber Pack and doctor of the Black Amethyst Pack, accept your rejection,” I say firmly, changing my attributes to underline my distance to the pack. I won’t take any disrespect anymore, so much has changed since I came here and was able to start a new life with people who loved me. So, if he wants to reject me then he glad
April “Tell me that they are lying.” Noah’s pleading words pierce through the fog in my mind, making me gulp as I look at him with glassy eyes. “I didn’t kill anyone,” I say, sadly not seeming that convincing as I gulp. “I didn’t kill their Luna. I was framed.” My old pack members scoff, as I keep my eyes on Noah, looking at him pleadingly. “You have to believe me that I’m innocent. Their Luna disappeared, but I had nothing to do with it, whatsoever.” “You are just the same deceiving, lying bitch that you always were,” Liam pushes out a dry laugh, making me turn to face them properly for the first time. My wolf roars in my head and lets her anger but also sadness stream through me as she suffers because of these accusations but also has to cope with the rage rolling off her newfound mate. And my childhood crush. “I know that you won’t believe me! You never did! Even if I was your friend, you just trusted everyone’s word around me instead of mine. I was tortured and cast out b
