Zander's POVI fear the Lycan King will not accept me as his daughter's mate. He has had bad experiences with having a magical wolf as a mate. Dean and Hannah's story did not end well. Helena and I have been seeing each other since Gabriella and Dean's ceremony. Both of us are afraid of how her father will react. We have been seeing each other in town. Sometimes, we will meet in a location where we know nobody can see us. I am waiting for her at a cafe. I know the Lycan King and my father are great friends. They have mutual respect. However, I do not see how they would feel when we tell them we are in love. Helena can choose her mat; she is a Lycan, and I am happy she felt the same about me as I thought. I have no choice. The wrong goddess picks my mate for me. I knew from the start Helena was my mate. I was glad when I told you not to choose my mate and that my wolf cannot live without her, and she told me she had fallen in love with me from the first moment she saw me. I see her wa
Bonita's POVVictor and I sit on our seaside house's deck. We are watching the ocean and our grandchildren at the same time. Life has come full circle, although we don't look like round parents. We love our grandchildren. We have a lot of them. It feels like we are running a tiny school where they all visit us during the school holidays. All my children are happily married to their mates. Not all our children had six or more children, but over the last ten years, they had plenty of children who always wanted to come and visit Grandma and Grandpa. I think they want to come and visit us to play in the ocean.The cousins, brothers, and sisters together drive us crazy sometimes, but we love having them here. It is like we are rerunning a pack. We are still linked to our old pack, and our grandchildren got their wolves when they were born. Like their mothers and fathers, they can be impossible sometimes. I have what we enjoy in our lives here. We bought a big piece of land near the ocean.
Bonita's POVThe night is my anniversary. I'm preparing everything for my first year with my mate. I still cannot believe that I am the mate of the Alpha of the Black Raven Pack. I am different from other werewolves. Shadow, my wolf, is magical. People don't understand us and are afraid of my wolf's magical aspects. The pack is not very proud to have me as their Luna. They think Oscar could have done better. This is making me very sad. It hurts me. If not for me being Oscar's mate, they would have never accepted me as their Luna. Even Oscar's family does not accept me as his mate. "We cannot let this get us down. Tonight is a joyous night that I will only share with Oscar. I am not invited whenever Oscar goes to his parents' house. Arabella, his sister, hates me. She thinks his brother could have done much better. Sharp pain goes through my stomach, hitting my heart like a knife. I don't know why I'm getting these pains and why my wolf keeps crying out. This is not supposed to happen
Bonita's POVI wake up inside of a cell. I know that my mate put me there. I know he wants to impress Camilla, my sister. I do not understand why he even chose me as a mate. I am hurting. My wounds are not healing because I am tied up in silver cuffs. The silver knife is also still stuck in my shoulder. Although my body is going through a lot of pain, it is my heart that paints the most because I have been betrayed by the one person I trusted with my life. I should have known that life was not supposed to be this good for me. I swear the Moon Goddess has cursed me. Why would you put me in this position? Why would she lead my mate to betray me? And why would she give me a magical wolf? I love Shadow, and I will not choose another wolf. We have to get out of here. But how am I locked in a cell with silver bars? Even if I can get out of these cuffs and remove the silver knife from my shoulder, I will not be able to escape this cell without help. "Luna, are you awake?" I hear Morris whis
Victor's POVI'm sitting in my office when I feel a stranger entering my grounds. It does not seem like my men have noticed anything happening, as they are all just standing around like there is nobody on our grounds. I will have to give them better training. I have enough going to worry about it now, as it is only one wolf I can feel. The wolf is on the Southern border of our grounds. My beta Antonio looks at me as I run past him."Alpha, where are you going? Must I come with you?" Antonio asks."No need. I'm just going for a run. Stay here and protect the pack while I'm gone. Get those wolves to training. They are slagging off," I say. I am thirty-eight years old. I never had a mate, and I'm not interested in finding one. I have a bunch of she-wolves that entertain me at night. My pack wants me to find a Luna, but I made a deal with Sandy, my primary lover. If I don't find my mate by forty, I will take her as my Luna. I do not know if that will happen, as she can be a bit bossy thes
Bonita's POVI do not know what is wrong with this guy. It looks like he is going crazy under the full moon. Perhaps the full moon affects his brain. Maybe I should run away. I know I cannot run any farther as the silver they injected into me is affecting me, and my wounds are not healing. I know I cannot run any further, but I also feel the bond between Victor Smith and me. The Moon Goddess has gone crazy. I have to agree with him. And I know he's shouting at her because he can be my dad. But I don't mind the age difference. However, I feel too weak to worry about having a second-chance mate. I need to seek help. I can not sit here watching him shout at the Moon Goddess while I am bleeding out. Everything seems so wrong. Today has been overwhelming for me. My head hurts. I can feel everything go black in front of me. I have to stay conscious. I cannot faint now."After you are done talking to whoever you are talking to, can you please help me? I agree that the Moon Goddess has gone c
Victor's POVMy pack will be very excited that I finally got my Luna. Nobody wanted Sandy to become the Luna. Antonio told me that in so many words. I can't wait to see my brother Christopher and his wife, Andrea, suffer when their precious little boy realizes he has lost his mate to another wolf. I can't wait for them to discover I am her mate. Ohh, what joy that will give me. I look at my mate sitting under the full moon, and her wounds heal fast. At first, I thought she was weak. Now I see it was because she was in pain that she looked weak. She's not weak. She is a strong she-wolf. She surprised me. I hear my nephew and his pack approaching. I know he won't dare to come close to my pack grounds. He's too much of a coward unless he is hard up to find his mate. Perhaps he thinks that I am my warriors are not near her. I mind-link my warriors to come to the border. I want to ensure he does not have the upper hand in numbers, although my magic is strong. I cannot hold all of them bac
Oscar's POVDid I make the right choice to leave my mate for her sister? I don't know if I made the correct mistake. Looking at her, standing next to Victor, makes me furious. We have hardly broken our bond, and she already has another mate. How can this be the Moon Goddess will never allow it? How can she be the mate of my uncle and me simultaneously? I do not believe a word that my uncle is saying. We might have broken our bonds, but she is still my only mate. Camilla is my lover but not my mate. I know that. I am only having an affair with Camilla to keep my pack and my parents happy. They all want me to have a normal she-wolf as a Luna. I always knew my mate was Bonita, the only one I genuinely loved. I thought if I killed her, my feelings for her would disappear. While making love to Camilla, I realized that my feelings for Bonita can never go away, not even in death, and her death might make me lose control of my wolf. My wolf is already angry because he did not want a magical w
