Alpha Rick's POVI stood alone in the middle of my study room with my mind consumed by anger and betrayal. My hands were clenched into fists and my nails dug deep into my palms as I tried to control the rage boiling within me. It had been days since Eric had betrayed my trust in him, days since he had failed to tell me that Alpha Dwane had chosen Melina as his mate. And yet, the anger burned just as hot now as it had then.I had confronted Eric, demanded an apology, and yet the words he had offered had fallen far short of what I required. His apology was unacceptable, and I had warned him to stay out of my sight until he found a way to bring Melina back to me. It was the only way to make things right, to set my world back to its rightful order.I closed my eyes, breathing in deeply as I struggled to maintain control. My expression was one of pure frustration and my jaw was tightly set as I clenched my teeth. I needed to find a way to move past this, but the thought of Melina with Alph
Melina's POVI woke up that morning with a smile on my face and my heart was beating with excitement. The day had finally arrived, the day of my mating ceremony with Alpha Dwane. I had waited for this moment for so long, and now it was finally here. I was finally going to be with someone who loves me. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow through the window, and the birds outside were chirping happily. It was a beautiful morning, one that was perfect for the occasion. My mating ceremony!!!Despite my joy, a nagging feeling gnawed at the back of my mind. It whispered to me that something bad was going to happen. I tried to push the thought away, to focus on the positive, and not let the negativity consume me. After all, this was the day I had been dreaming of, the day when I would be mated to the man of my dreams.Alpha Dwane was everything I had ever wanted in a mate. He accepted me for who I was, flaws and all. He treated me like a princess, not a slave, and he loved me f
Alpha Dwane's POV"Damn she is beautiful," I whispered to myself as I watched Melina walk down the aisle toward me.I woke up before the first rays of sunlight even touched the horizon. It was the day I had been waiting for, the day of my mating ceremony with Melina. I didn't want to disturb her peaceful slumber, so I quietly slipped out of our room and made my way toward the ceremony hall. I walked down the hallway and I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through my veins. I had spent days planning every detail of this event, and now, finally, the day had arrived. The decorations had to be perfect, the food and wine had to be abundant, and the servants and workers had to be on their best behavior today.I arrived at the hall and immediately started barking orders at the workers, making sure that they understood what needed to be done. "The flowers need to be arranged properly, the chairs need to be straightened, and the tables need to be set up!" I yelled, my expre
Melina's POVAs I stood there with Alpha Dwane, hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy. Phase one of the mating ceremony had just ended, and I was officially his mate now. Vows have been said and blood has been shed, it's official!! It was a beautiful moment, and I could see the happiness radiating from every pack member's face.The pack elders approached us, congratulating us on our union, and I could feel their excitement and pride. "Congratulations, my dear," one of them said, "we couldn't be happier for you both."I smiled back at them, feeling grateful for their love and support. As the guests began to approach us with their gifts, I could feel my heart racing with anticipation. Each gift was unique and heartfelt, and I made sure to thank each guest personally.But it was Alpha Dwane's smile that truly stole the show. As he stood there, his eyes gleaming with happiness, I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat. His broad shoulders and chiseled jaw were a
Alpha Dwane's POVI sat at the head of the ceremony hall, surrounded by my esteemed guests, discussing politics and other serious matters. My attention was divided, however, my eyes kept wandering to Melina.She had a natural grace that could not be ignored, and her dress clung to her curves in a way that made my heart skip a beat each time I stared at her.As I spoke with my guests, I couldn't help but steal a glance in Melina's direction every now and then. Her beauty was like a magnet, pulling my gaze toward her again and again.But just as I was about to lose myself in her charm once more, she walked towards me, leaned in, and whispered in my ear."Excuse me, Dwane, I'm going to slip away for a moment and change into something more comfortable. These heels are killing me." She said, her voice barely audible over the din of the crowd.I nodded, trying to hide my disappointment at the thought of her leaving my sight even for a moment. But then she walked out of the hall, her hips sw
Alpha Rick's POVI sat in the back seat of the car, gazing upon the unconscious Melina. We had captured her successfully and now we were taking her back to our territory with us.A sense of overwhelming joy and satisfaction swept over me, knowing that our plan to kidnap her on the day of the mating ceremony had worked out perfectly, without a single hitch. Barbara was indeed smart. She told us everything that we needed to know.I was proud of my pack warriors too. We had all worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went according to plan, and I was elated that we had succeeded. I couldn't help but smile as I looked at Melina who was sitting beside me in the car.The sight of Melina truly filled me with happiness. She looked really beautiful in her dress and it made me wonder why I had rejected her as my mate in the first place.Oh wait, I know why I rejected her – she was nothing but a slave and everyone in my pack knew that. There was no way I could allow myself to get mated to a
Melina's POVI woke up disoriented, my head pounding and my body aching all over. I tried to open my eyes but the blinding sunlight streaming into the space I was in made me wince. I quickly raised my hands to block the light and slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings.Fear immediately gripped me as I recalled what had happened to me. I had been kidnapped – I recalled trying to open the door to my room when I was being attacked from behind.I looked around and realized that I was in a cell – but not just any cell, I recognized it immediately as Alpha Rick's cell. I had been locked up here so many times before so I knew it like the back of my hand.The walls were made of concrete, rough and unforgiving to the touch. The floor was made of cold, hard stone, and the only light in the room came from a small window high up on the wall.I couldn't help but feel confused and scared. How had I ended up here again? What did Alpha Rick want from me? The questions swirled around in my h
Alpha Dwane's POVAs the Alpha of the pack, I called for an emergency meeting with my pack, ending the mating ceremony abruptly.Something had gone terribly wrong and I couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness that was creeping up on me.My heart raced as I addressed the pack and my voice trembled with urgency."Pack members, we have an emergency. Melina is missing! She's gone and I can't find her anywhere."Silence descended upon the pack as everyone looked around in shock.I could see the fear and worry etched on everyone's faces, and my own expression must have mirrored theirs.Without saying too much, every available pack member volunteered to help me search for Melina around the pack territory.We began our search immediately, fanning out across the pack environment.We combed through every corner, calling out her name, but there was no response.I could feel my frustration mounting and my wolf instincts were screaming at me that something was terribly wrong."Melina! Melina, whe
As Emma was escorted away in custody, her threats echoed back at Dwayne and Melina as stood together.Emma screamed in defiance "You'll pay for this! Both of you!"The officer that was escorting her away replied her sternly "Save your threats for the wolf court council"Melina, holding the baby close "She won't harm us anymore"As Emma was escorted away a sense of relief washed over them, knowing that a major part of their problem had been solved. The authorities assured them that justice would be served.As Melina and Dwayne apprached the mansion Anna came running towards them closely followed by ArenAnna with deep concern all over her face " Melina, you can't just disappear like that. We were all worried about you and the baby."" I'm sorry, Anna. It all happened so fast, and the safety of my child was at stake"Aren chipped "They're back home now Anna, and everyone is safe.i think that's what's important"She took the baby from Anna and with a very inquisitive tone asked "who was
Emma's bitterness spilled forth as she recounted the path that had led her to that vengeful moment."I was meant to be the Luna, destined to stand by Dwayne's side. I devised a plan to frame you for betraying him, but even then, he forgave you. It was infuriating. My rightful place was snatched away by your mere presence.""All this time, you've been plotting against me for something as trivial as being with Dwayne?"Emma's eyes glinted with resentment. "Trivial? It was everything to me! I couldn't let a blind girl be preferred over me, the rightful Luna. I thought blinding you would make you insignificant, but you still found a way to worm your way into his heart."Melina's mind raced, "And now you're using my son to get back at me? What do you gain from all this cruelty?"Emma leaned forward, a venomous smile on her lips. "I gain satisfaction, revenge, and the position I rightfully deserve""Dwayne married me, and nothing you do will change that. You can't erase the bond we share, n
After the banquet Melina and Dwayne bade some of the guests goodnight and soon they were on their way home.Dwayne took a look at her and found her fully staring at him with those sexy eyes " You know if you keep staring at me that way I doubt if I would be able to concentrate on driving" he said with sincerity" Alright then " muttered Melina before leaning her head backwards to the headrest.They got home and Pulling up in front of the house they noticed it looked a bit too quiet Dwayne turned almost whispering to Melina "did you tell the servants to leave a window open or something?Melina replied anxiously "No, everything was locked up when we left. What could have happened?""Let's check on the baby first."She nodded softly "Something's not right."He slowly opened the door, revealing a room that should have been filled with the warmth of their child. Instead, they were met with a scene that shattered their peace – the nanny lifeless on the floor, and the baby's crib empty.Me
Dwayne held open the car door for Melina as she entered the car before going to the other side of the car and getting in himself , the driver turned on the ignition and soon they were their way to the banquet hall.Dwayne held out his arm to Melina as they stepped out of the car in front of the banquet hall, Melina leisurely placed her arm in his giving him a look that screamed the words " I trust you " and with that both of them walked towards the gigantic doors of the hall , by the door were a couple of guards who bowed to them as they walked through the doors.Melina turned to Dwayne almost whispering "I still feel uneasy about the idea of being bowed to"Dwayne replied her in the same manner "You'd better start getting used to it as you'll be getting a lot of bows from now"Both of them couldn't help giggling at their childishness but the lovely moment was soon interrupted by a masculine voice that erupted behind them."Who else if not the latest couple in town " said Aren with a
It was almost time for the banquet so Melina took a dip in the tub which was full of herbs that helped rejuvenate the skin , after taking her bath she could feel her skin was smoother and a lot softer , she went to her dressing table and applied some essential oils and scented oils all over her body, by the time she was done the sweet scents filled the room.She proceeded to wear the dress she had picked , thinking the event was going to be a simple one like the wedding ceremony Melina picked out a knee length blue halter neck dress . Just as she was about to slip into the dress she heard a knock on her door The voice said from behind the door "My lady , may I come in?"Melina quickly put her robe back on before answering "come in"The door opened and Nina who was a servant in the mansion came in holding a rather big box."Alpha Dwayne asked me to bring this to you my lady " she said while placing the box down on the bed."Thank you , where is he ?" Asked Melina Nina answered court
Dwayne and Melina got married almost immediately after the official announcement. it was a simple wedding ceremony with just a few representative of each clan in attendance . The sacred ceremony was held at the temple of the moon goddess and officiated by the shaman.The duo knelt before the statute of the moon goddess while the shaman performed the rites , he handed them two cups with drinks in it " you may now say your vows " he said motioning to Dwayne to take his vows first " I Dwayne Alpha of the dark Moon pack hereby take Melina as my Luna and vow to protect her with my life , holding her hands through thick and thin , never to be apart from her in life and in death " said Dwayne as he smiled at Melina."I Melina of the crescent pack hereby take Alpha Dwayne as my husband and vow to stay by his side through thick and thin protecting him with my life, never to be apart from him in Life and in death " said Melina with a huge smile on her face.

As they all walked out of the hospital after Melina got discharged Dwayne said gently "Melina, I insist you stay at my place for a while. I've a nurse to take care of you and the baby. It's important to me that you both have the best care possible"Melina smiled broadly "Dwayne, you've already done so much for me. Are you sure about this?"Dwayne nodded "Absolutely sure. It's not just about what I've done; it's about what we can do together for your well-being and the baby's. I want to make sure everything is perfect."Melina felt touched"That means a lot to me, Dwayne. Thank you."Anna chipped "Melina, I'll help you pack your things. We'll make sure you have everything you need at Dwayne's place."Melina gave her a warm smile "Anna, you're a lifesaver. I wouldn't know where to start without your help""It's the least I can do.

Anna got to the vending machine and saw a boy of about ten years kneeling on his hands and knees franctically trying to reach something under the bench that was right beside the machine, he heard her footsteps and he gave me a rather big smile as she approached the machine." Good day miss " he said he said looked up at me while still on his hands and knees." Good day to you ..." She said stuttering a bit , the boy looked rather unkept but his outstanding feature was his bright smile." Jay, my name is Jay" he said" Ooohk Jay that's a lovely name " she said then I noticed a candy bar on the bench He said pleadingly ."Can you please help me get my coin , it fell under the bench and I can't reach it " Anna crouched to the ground trying to figure where the coin was but it was so far she had to get down on all fours to be able to reach it, she pulled out the coin and handed it to him ."Thank you miss, now I can buy a candy for Browny too " said Jay happily as he inserted the coin int
The room fell silent for a moment with the weight of what the doctor said fully sinking in. Dwayne turned to the doctor "What's her blood type?""It's O negative, a rare type indeed"Anna, her voice tinged with concern, looked at Dwayne "Do you know anyone with that blood type?"Dwayne nodded."I'm O negative as well"The doctor swiftly suggested the compatibility test, and the tension in the room became heightened as they awaited the results.After a while the doctor returned with the results "Dwayne, your blood type matches Melina's. You can donate"Dwayne sighed with a bit of relief "Let's do it doctor"Anna glanced at Dwayne, silently grateful for what he had just done"After what felt like eternity the heavy doors of the ER swung open again and the doctor came out smiling "The surgery went well. We successfully delivered a healthy baby boy"Dwayne's eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of relief and overwhelming joy as he couldn't believe his ears "A boy? Is Melina okay?"The doc
