Alpha Dwane's POVEight months have passed since the battle and now Beta Aren was escorting me to take over leadership of the Crescent pack.As we made our way to the pack's territory, my mind was racing with plans and strategies for the future.Despite my excitement, I knew that taking over leadership of the Crescent pack would not be an easy task. I needed to be prepared for any challenges that may come my way.Beta Aren walked beside me, his steady presence a calming influence on my nerves."Alpha Dwane," Beta Aren said, breaking the silence between us. "I know you've been preparing for this moment for a long time. But remember, leading a pack is not just about strength and power. It's also about compassion and understanding."I nodded, grateful for his words of wisdom. "I understand, Beta Aren. I plan to lead with both my head and my heart."We continued walking in silence for a while longer before Beta Aren spoke again. "You know, the Crescent pack is a proud and stubborn group.
MELINA’S POVTo say that I was elated was an understatement. If there is anything to describe how I feel now that is more giving than being excited, I'd use it. With everything that I've gone through in my life, the suffering, maltreatment from my former mate and being spoken down to, I never expected that I would be this loved and accepted. After giving birth to our baby boy, Talon, everything has been going so smooth. Too smooth if I may add. He had always been overprotective over me even when I was not pregnant. Now that we have a child together, it has gotten to another level entirely. He hardly leaves my side. He only does when he has pack duties to attend to or probably meetings. It's been a few days after Talon ce into this world, but my body still felt weak and sore. Though, I could feel my wolf trying as much as possible to heal me internally and I was mostly healed already. My magic powers already increased immensely even though I hardly used them. It was like the power
DWANE’S POVI looked at my wife as she snored gently, trying to pull the covers away from her body but I returned it. I had already layed Talon to sleep in his crib, now my sole attention is focused on Melanie. Pushing away the hair that covered her face, I entered into the duvet and craddled her in my arms. As if she sensed me, she wrapped herself around me, throwing her legs on mine. This made me chuckle to myself. I kissed the top of her forehead and rested my head on it. I knew she was going through a lot recently. After the birth of our child, she's been stressed. Though she didn't show it in anyway, probably she did not want Mr to feel stressed about it. But I think sje forgot that we were mates and I could feel her emotions.She was always overthinking. I could not pin point what it was about, but I knew it was either about the baby or about herself.I've caught her looking at her body in the mirror countless times with a deep look on her face, like she does not like what sh
MELANIE’S POVEverything was going well until I was told by someone that there was going to be a feast for me and my child. Not that I didn't want it, but I didn't know how to feel about it. With the insecurity I felt about my body, I don't think I'll be able to handle been in a room full of people bustling with joy and energy and not spoil the atmosphere. Dwane was doing this for me and I knew it. It was just that, I was not sure I could cope with the way and state my body is in. He has never at any point made me feel insecure or anything. It was all in my head and I knew it. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, without his knowledge and him knowing of course, I sometimes felt like crying. But looking in the bright side, was Talon, my child. As I looked at him now in the carrier that he was inside, I smiled. He was already looking at me. He smiled back, rubbing his small, cute palms together. Everyone that met me on the way has been compleme
UNKNOWN’S POVI screamed in agony as I felt the twig of a tree enter my leg. I walked off hurriedly as soon as I removed the twig. Seeing the way that the woman was happy with her child made my blood boil. I hated it so much. She didn't deserve to live such a happy life, after she ruined mine. All of them in that pack, deserve to burn. To burn in my wrath. I looked down at my wound and it was bleeding profusely. I tried to heal it with my power but it seemed like it wasn't possible to do. I growled out loudly. I continued walking gently trying to get to the reason I am doing this. The reason I have to take revenge on all of them. I didn't look at where I was going and I slipped down the rocks there again. As I went down the hill, I swore to take revenge.As soon as I hit the ground, I was bleeding visibly, in all of my body. A normal human would have died from the fall, but I wasn't normal in any way. I laughed evily, very loudly, and didn't care if there was anyone around to h
MELANIE’S POVEverything was going fine and well. Dwane had actually introduced me to most people in the room of higher status. I was literally on his arm through out. He didn't allow me to leave, kissing the side of my head from time to time. I know I would have a permanent blush on my face through out the party. The only time he left me alone was the time I said I wanted to check on Talon. He seemed to be having the time of his life with Ana. Enjoying the attention of the people that surrounded him. Some of them were actually people I don't know that seemed to be around my age. The feast was in full swing now. After the dance that Dwane and I had opened, we all went in to the other side of the ballroom that was a very large dining table.I didn't know a table could be that long. It literally accommodated everyone in the party. Different and assorted foods where there. Mainly meat. Maybe because of the alphas that were around.I had noticed that in Dwane too. He won't eat a meal i
DWANE’S POVI felt calm. More than I have felt in days. Or probably maybe weeks. I felt all the emotions around us simmer down. Her in my arms right now, felt so right, like she was not meant to leave there at all. These past few days had been really horrible for me. Not been able to talk to her about how she felt. I thought maybe if I had spoken to her, asking her to tell me how she felt, she might have withdrawn entirely from me. The feeling of her withdrawing away from me wasn't one of the best ones I have had. I hated how much I had to deal with that. I thought that throwing this feast for her would have actually rectified it and at least made her happy. She was actually happy, or so I thought, until an annoying creature from my past decided to show up. And knowing Amber for who she was, she might have actually spun up some annoying words to make her angry.I felt the immediate change in her emotions as soon as Amber walked up to her. Aren had never liked her and had always to
MELANIE’S POVI was stressed. Mentally and emotionally, I was exhausted. Not that I will have it any other way. But, who knew training and taking care of a child would be this exhausting. These days or maybe this past few months has been the best of my life. The fear I had when I just gave birth to my baby just blew away as soon as they came. Things worked well for me. Dwane and I talked about a lot of things after that party night that he gifted me a car. He pestered me and me tell him everything that was on my mind. Which I did. He had first laughed which made me angry, but then he later explained to me that he loved me that way. He even said that he like the exta pounds of flesh that I added on. I had not believed him then, but his actions worked it out. He made me feel beautiful in every sense of the word. I didn't feel pressured to wanting to change how I was. Even though I later reduced with some exercises that I strictly kept my self to and a few training sessions with him
