Victor's POV
I'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 these days. She has been threatening all my other lovers. She also acts like she is already the Luna of the pack. I do not like that because I have not made her my Luna yet, and only my Luna will get to order everybody around in this pack beside me. I am furious that she thinks she can order everybody without even being my mate. I do not know if I will find a mate in the next two years, but who cares? It does not mean I have to take her as my mate just because we have an agreement.
I must remember to tell her to back off when I get back. I have been getting tired of her anyway. I can always kill her if she does not want to listen because I am about to get angry. Sandy thinks she can't do whatever she wants because we agree. She's making the biggest mistake of her life. She is not getting any younger. Perhaps our agreement is stopping her from finding her real mate. I think it's time to set her free. I'm going to cancel our agreement. However, as I run to the southern border, I have other things to consider.
As I get to the southern border, I run exactly to where I know the intruder is. I come around the corner, and there she sits. I can see she's badly wounded. Why is she not healing herself? I can smell her wolf, so I know she is a werewolf. I walk closer and look at the young girl staring up at me. She cannot be older than nineteen or twenty. I look at her in surprise. My wolf is going crazy in my head. What the hell is wrong with my wolf? I cannot have a mate this young, for crying out loud! I know I will need to help her. I don't know who did this to her, but she must have either wolfbane or silver in her blood so she can not heal herself. I shouted at my wolf to shut the hell up. He is over-excited as he has never had a mate before. What the hell is wrong with us? I am not a cradle robber! This young girl cannot be my mate. I cannot think about it right now. I need to help her. The blood is streaming from her wounds. She looks up at me. Her blonde hair falls over her face. Her eyes are big and blue. She looks confused at me.
"Who are you, and what are you doing on my grounds?" I growl. I know I sound more scary than I meant to sound. She looks like she is going to run away.
"My name is Bonita Clarkson. I used to be Luna of the Black Raven Pack. As you can see, I have been kicked out of the pack," She answers. Bonita, what a beautiful name for a beautiful creature like her. Even though she's full of blood and her clothes are torn, she is still a beauty. Oh, great. Now my wolf has me thinking like this. I cannot think of this child as my mate. Am I crazy?
"So you were Oscar's mate. That boy never had any sense in him. Why would he let go of somebody looking like you? Anyway, let me look at your wounds. What did he do to you? And why did he reject you? What have you done?" I ask.
"He screwed my sister and thought I was not worthy of being his mate because I have a magical wolf like you. You were also kicked out of the pack because you were different, wasn't it?" She asks. I look at her, knowing she can feel our bond. That is why she looks so confused. She must probably not want an old wolf like me for a mate. I hardly hear what she says as I look into the air. I look at the moon. It is hanging full in the air.
"Are you crazy? Why are you doing this to me? Wasn't it enough that I had to be different than others and kicked out of my father's pack? Now you have given me a mate who can be my daughter! Haven't I gone through enough? I am going to war with my own family because of a stupid nephew. What do you want from me? Tell me, Moon goddess! Am I a joke to you? I have been waiting for a mate my whole life, now you send me a child that does not look as if she is strong enough to be out here on her own and you make my wolf go crazy! You must have lost all your marble," I speak to the Moon Goddess. I only realized that I sounded like a drunk man when I looked at my mate's face. She looks shocked. She looks like she is going to run away. I guess I do sound a little bit crazy talking to the Moon Goddess.
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
Bonita's POVI have never acted this brave in my life. I had the guts to confront my ex-mate. Usually, I would have ignored him and never talked back to him. Perhaps it was because I was in love with him. I do not know. Now that our bond is gone, I see how about a coward Oscar is. I always thought he was brave and fierce, and he would take on his uncle if he had the chance. He was even too afraid to attack me at my full power. He is supposed to be an Alpha. Before I became his Luna, I was only an omega in the pack. I do not understand why he is afraid of me. Am I stronger than him? Is he fearful of my unique wolf?They never wanted me to fight or train because they knew I would become stronger than the Alpha if I trained my wolf. I know now for a fact that the Alpha and the members of the Black Raven Pack are afraid of me. I smile as I look at them run away. The Black Raven Pack's warriors are cowards, except for my only friend, Morris. Your pack is only as strong as its Alpha. "I wi
Bonita's POV I walk over to the bed and touch the beautiful dress. I have never had a gorgeous dress like this before and will always cherish this moment. I cannot stop thinking about what happened to me tonight. I thought I was going to die. And here I am, becoming a Luna of another pack. Everything happened so fast. One moment, my mate rejected and almost killed me, and the next moment, I was a Luna again. The Moon Goddess is busy playing tricks on me. I do not understand what I have done to deserve all this myth in my life right now. However, I am not going to worry about it. I can understand why Victor talked to the Moon Goddess earlier. She's playing tricks on us. I know he feels that he is too old to be my mate. However, I do not think so. He looks better than his nephew. Victor seems young for his age. If I was not afraid to get hurt again, and Victor wanted a young mate like me, I would have fallen in love with him. I cannot think about love right now because Victor does not w
Victor's POVWell, that takes care of Sandy. I am tired of her. She is such a crybaby. How can I even think about having Sandy as my mate when I have a young, beautiful mate like Bonita? His golden blonde hair and blue eyes beg to be loved. However, I do not believe in love, and I will never believe in love. I think that two wolves are attracted to each other because of the stupid Moon Goddess. I know I should not call her silly and that she's a goddess. But seriously, she has been messing with me my whole life. First, she didn't give me a mate. And now she gave me a child for a mate. She must think she is hilarious. Not that I am complaining about my mate. She is beautiful, and I think she will be very entertaining in bed. However, I hope that she is mature enough to be my Luna. I am already dressed for the ceremony, and we are all waiting for my Luna. I have seen my men help Sandy back and out of our grounds. Sandy screams as she walks past me, escorted by my men. I know she is des
Oscar's POVCamilla and I are so busy in my room when the pain hits me like never before. I have never felt anything like this before. I do not know what is wrong with me. I push Camilla off me. She is not my mate. My mate is with another. She is in bed with my uncle. I'm going to kill Victor. The pain is unbearable. I have to shift, and I have to run. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you pushing me away again? I thought that we had agreed to stay mates. We are doing it for the Black Raven Pack," Camilla asks as she falls off the bed and lands hard on the floor. We have agreed to become mates, and I will make her my Luna, but she is not my fated mate, and I am feeling the pain of my mate's betrayal. "We can become mates, but we are not fated mates. I have abandoned my mate. Now she's in bed with someone else, with my uncle. I cannot stand this pain! It is unbearable. Never in my life have I felt pain like this. That bitch and her new Alpha will pay! I can hardly breathe. Ge
Sandy's POV I look at the young wolf walking my way. Oh, great. I am on a pack's grounds, and now they will rip me apart because I am a rogue. As the young wolf comes closer, I smell the scent of sandalwood in my nose. Oh no, this cannot be. I may be the lover of an alpha who only used me for sex, but I am no cradle robber. "You smell like roses and lilies. What the fuck? How old are you? I swear the moon goddess has gone crazy for giving me a grandma as a second-change mate! Nope, this is ridiculous. What are you doing on my grounds, grandma? I swear I will rip you to pieces," The young wolf says, and as soon as he opens his mouth, I know he is Victor's cousin, Oscar. We have never met because although I was Victor's lover, I was always treated as an Omega in the Pack and was not allowed to attend meetings. He goes behind the bushes and shifts into his human form. He even looks younger than his wolf. "Shut up, baby face. Do you think I want to be the mate of a baby? I am no cradl
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
