Madison's POVKnowing my mother and my father, I am not sure if they are not going to send somebody to watch out for me. I hope they don't because I am no longer a child and can look after myself. It would be uncomfortable if my parents sent somebody to look after me while I'm on my first date with Markus. I want to give him a chance to prove himself to me. I hope everything goes well. I also don't want my mother to send my brother and Kylie with us. I want to get to know Markus. I am willing to give him a second chance but want to know what it is all about. I want to ensure that it will not hurt me like Oscar hurt my mother. I do not believe Markus is like them, but I want to ensure he is not. I don't want to accept him until I know him better. Markus is a strong guy. He has made so many changes to his pack. The alphas in the community have told my father that Markus was the one to convince him to accept us for who we are. He is the one who sang our praises. He is the one who convin
Markus' POVI cannot take my eyes off Madison as she walks down the stage in the most beautiful blue dress I have ever seen. Her blue eyes fit with the dress, making them sparkle even more. She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I don't care who can see I love her and wonder as my mate and Luna. I don't care if her mother is glaring at me because she does not trust me. I've all never hurt Madison again. Madison is fantastic and beautiful. I know she has a kind heart, as I can see it in her eyes. I never want to see hurt in her eyes again, not because of me or anybody else. Her mother has walked down the stairs and joined me at the bottom. "My daughter is beautiful. At first, I did not trust you because of my history with the Black Raven Pack. However, I know you are the one who convinces the rest of the werewolves to stop being so harsh on us because we are different. However, there is one thing that you will have to understand once Madison becomes your mate. You are al
Madison's POVI never thought Markus could be this romantic. He opened the car door for me, and we walked into this old building that looked like a seventeenth-century tavern. I do not know how he knew I loved old things. Perhaps we have the same interests. Or maybe he asks some of my friends and family members. I thought I would be overdressed in a place like this. However, most of the girls are dressed like princesses. The main dressed like Markus in old costumes, and this looks like a fun place to eat. They bring us some beers, but I don't know if they are authentic beer. I don't care because I know we do not get drunk. Our metabolism is too fast, and alcohol does not affect us. "You are the most beautiful princess in this place. All the men envy me because I am here with you. I want to apologize to you for the way I have behaved. I believed our elders and thought Oscar and Morris were heroes," Markus says. "Do not worry. I have already forgiven you for that. I know that not ever
Markus' POVAfter I dropped Maddie home, Steven, driving the car, kept looking at me in the rearview mirror. He must have seen the kiss I gave her in front of the house. It was a long, lingering kiss. I could not hide my feelings from her. I could not hide anything from her because she was so beautiful. I know I am in love. I know the Moon Goddess gave me the perfect mate. I cannot live without Maddie. I look back at Steven, and he quickly looks away. "What do you want to ask Steven? If you want to know if everything went well, it did. Suppose you want to see if I am in love. Yes, I am. Will Madison become your Luna? I will fight for her. I don't know how she feels about me, but I know one thing. I know that I will make her fall in love with me. She is playing hard to get, but I cannot blame her because I made a mistake by rejecting her. However, I am not about to give up. I will never give up on Madison. She is the one and only woman I want. I will fight for her until my last breat
Markus' POVI cannot believe my parents want me to choose between them and Madison. What would they have done? Would I have left their mate for their parents? I do not believe so. I cannot expect me to leave Madison for awful people like them. They are nothing to me. I might as well write them off. Parents who do not have your interests at heart do not love you. I am furious at them. I do not want anything to do with them anymore. That is how I feel. They should know that your mates always come first. They should also know you have no choice regarding the moon goddess picking your mate. I hope it was not all for nothing. I hope Madison accepts me as a mate. But even if she does not, I know where my parents stand, and they will not set their foot back into my pack. They do not respect my love for my mate. What if I get another mate and I also do not like her? However, I don't think I want another mate. All I want is to be happy in my life. And the only person that can make me happy is
Madison's POVI cannot believe Markus chose me. He did not even care about his family. He told him that they could go to hell. I know his parents would never accept me, but I feel sorry for him having to choose me or his parents. Perhaps I should go away. Maybe I am not meant to be his mate. If I leave him, he will have no one left. I don't want to leave him. Markus needs me now more than ever. His family and most elders had already left him and went to another pack. "Honey, Markus has sacrificed everything for you. It shows that he loves you. You should go to him if you love and want to be with him. He needs to know more than ever," My mother says. Steven slipped away from the Black Raven Pack to tell us what happened. My mother had doubts, but I think she just realized how much Markus loves me."Don't you think I will harm the Black Raven Pack more? Mom, if all their elders leave, what will they do? Do I have the right to make him choose between his pack and me? I feel so guilty be
Markus' POVI couldn't believe it when Madison showed up, and I couldn't believe she was there for me. I'm glad Madison did not worry about my parents. She told me what happened on the way, and I'm so happy she drove past them. I would have wanted her to drive over some of them. I know my parents have been made up by some of the other werewolves of the Black Raven pack. I knew my parents and dear friends were up to no good. I knew they wanted to stop me from getting closer to Madison. I am also thrilled that her parents are supporting us."Do you want to go home to get ready for tonight? Or do you want to get prepared here?" I ask. I am reluctant to let Madison go because I am afraid she might change her mind. However, I have already marked her. I know she is mine now, but she can still change her mind and reject me. The mark will disappear, and I will be in more pain than when I rejected her. I know it will not happen. I know Madison has assured me that she loves me. However, I do no
Ashley's POVI don't know how long I have been running. I had to get away. My father is furious with me. He has been drinking again, and he has been hitting me all night. I am so glad I don't have any other siblings and that my mother died when she did. I'm glad she did not see what he was doing to me. I have just been running through the bushes. The branches have been scratching me, but I have to get away. I know we will come and look for me. I see bright lights not far from me. I have to avoid other humans. If they see my bruises, they will take me to the authorities. That will only make my father more furious as he is a policeman. I do not want to return home. I have turned eighteen today. I graduated last year, but my father did not want to let me go. He makes me work like a slave in his house. I know I have to run away from the lights. It sounds like a party or a feast is going on. I do not want to run into a cult that is busy celebrating something. I changed direction and starte
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.
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
Dean's POVI know this will not be a long fight as we enter the ring. My brother is not prepared to fight me. He was never a warrior. He was always my mother's little boy, and my mother never wanted my father to train him. She always told my father that he was too sick to train, although my brother was never sick or weak. He was lazy. He was always a mama's boy who never wanted to do anything for himself. My mother would do everything for him, even his homework, when he got home from school and was too tired and sick to do homework. My mother always believed him, but I don't. I look at him as he is starting to dance around me. I know that he has no clue how to fight. I think of all his mates and how they must have felt when he took a new mate every time. I don't know if he has broken his previous bonds. However, he never had a child. I know I also do not have a child yet. However, it's not because I couldn't get any children. It is because my mate died, and I became a rogue. My mother
Dean's POVI am ready to fight my brother, Sean, but I know he is a coward and will not want to fight me alone. However, he has no choice now, as even the pack's warriors and elders have turned against him. Having Alpha Victor with me is also a plus. Alpha Victor and Luna Bonita are heroes among the magical wolves after they beat the vampires and drove most of them and the dark witches out of our area. I can see my brother is hesitant, but he has no choice. Sean goes to the packhouse to get ready. But I know he will also call his friends the Lycans.I don't need to prepare, as I am prepared to fight for my pack. I know they have gone through a lot, and I do not want them to go through anymore. The Lycans know very well that when I challenge Sean for the Alpha position of my pack, they are not allowed to intervene. I do not think they will intervene, and I do not believe they will help Sean. However, I do know that they will show up. I know the Lycan King hates me. He did not want me t
Dean's POVWe spent the night at Gabriella's parents' Pack and will return to our Pack in the morning. It will be tough to return to them as I do not know how the Dark Moon Pack feels about me. Perhaps they are still angry with me and do not want me to help them or become their Alpha again. It is a chance that I would take. I do believe that they don't want my brother as their Alpha anymore because I have been suffering under him for years. It is time to take on the Lycans. I do not understand why my Pack must pay for my sins. They did nothing wrong. Victor, Bonita, Gabriella, warriors, and I get ready to go to my Pack, and then we will see the Lycans. I do not know how my back will accept me, but I do hope they are glad to see me. Many of them did not want my brother to become the Alpha. However, the elders and the warriors were behind my brother, and now their daughters and sons are working for the lycans as servants. It is breaking my heart. I do not want to see my back like this.
Dean's POVI cannot believe that I have accepted Gabriella Black as my mate. I thought I would never take another mate. However, my heart and my wolf feel much better. I feel like a heavy burden has been lifted from me. I know I have to go back to my back, but first, I have to go and talk to Gabriella's parents. I cannot just take their daughter without telling them where we are going. The Dark Moon pack is on the other side of the National Park. The Lycans live near the city. I know they have been torturing my pack because of me. Hannah's father has not forgiven me. I cannot blame him. I know that he is angry with me for getting his daughter killed. I also know it's not only my fault if he had accepted us as a couple. None of this would have happened, and I would have lived happily with Hannah. I know he is not going to be impressed with me having a new mate. I do not care. We will fight our battles as they come. I have to go and save my pack. It's my fault that they are in the condi
Gabriella Jr.'s POVI ran after the man I did not know. I know he is my mate. I know he also knows it, but why is he running away from me? I don't understand what is happening here but must find him. I follow his scent. Although he's trying to hide it from me, my magical powers are so strong that I could still smell him. His magic is nothing against mine. I use my vampire speed, and I quickly catch up with him. He stops and looks at me with hostility in his eyes. "Go away. I do not want anything to do with you. Don't you get it? I do not want another mate. Hannah was the love of my life. Besides, I can not protect you if somebody wants to kill you. I am useless. Get away from me if you do not want to get hurt. I am cursed. I do not believe the moon goddess loves me. She must hate me. I have blood on my hands. I killed an innocent woman, and I killed the man who killed Hannah. I killed his wife to make him feel like I felt when I lost my mate. The only difference was he did not care l
Victor Jr's POVThe rogue falls to his knees after killing Liam Moore. I can't say that he is not that young anymore. I feel sorry for him. He hasn't lost his mate, and it is not easy for a werewolf to lose his mate. He must have gone through tough times. Losing your might to somebody is almost like when a human loses their wife. Except for a werewolf, it is much worse. We are like wolves in nature. We mate for life. Sometimes, the Moon Goddess is merciful and will give us a second chance. Some of us are not lucky, and we stay alone for our love. That is why some rogues give control to their wolves. Their human side is too weak, and they want to die with their mate. The wolf takes over, and he becomes a lone wolf. A lone wolf is a very dangerous wolf. He will kill for the pleasure of it. But this rogue seems that he was only of the revenge. And now that he has gotten his revenge, he has nothing left. "What is your name?" Ashley asks. "My human name is Dean Winters. My name is Ranger
Third person's POVLiam Moore is sure that the dogman, werewolf, or whatever creature killed his wife is after him. He is not coming back to these woods ever again. The creature already has his wife and daughter, and he cannot live like this in fear for his life all the time. He goes back to Salem and asks for a transfer to New York. He is sure that he will be much safer there and that the beast cannot follow him to New York. He saw his daughter's cell phone. Her last picture was very blurry, but it looked like a half-human and half-wolf creature. He's sure that she is dead. He closes the file and takes the evident box with him to New York. He does not want everybody to know that his daughter was killed by a beast that does not exist, according to most people. He feels ashamed of what he has done to his daughter. He feels guilty because he feels that he is later down and that he tortured her. He tortured her so badly that she ran into this beast in the woods. Liam is sure the beast wi
