Alpha Axel;My cell phone popped up with a notification and I was mortified when I saw the contents of the message.As Maddox had claimed, it was a photo of my little boy, Mario, in a van. He had been taken. How that was possible, I still couldn't fathom. His security was always so tight. I fucking made sure of it.I adjusted Ophelia in my arms as I noticed the people sitting close to Mario in the van, and my fists clenched.That lady. I could recognize her anywhere. She looked at the camera like she knew she had won at something. A message came in and I immediately opened it, my frantic fingers swiping at my screen in a frenzy.My wolf was getting pissed and agitated already, and the text on the screen made my blood boil.'Apologies, Alpha King. Blame your cheating homewrecker of a Luna for this. For your information, I have no desire to release this child, no matter what it takes. And I absolutely do not mind what your brother, Maddox, or whoever he is, tells you. This is my battl
Ophelia;My happiest day came too soon. The day I thought, was the beginning of a blissful love life with my mate, Alpha Enzo. But rather, It was the day everything came tumbling over for me. We had thought all hope was lost on ever having a child, but the moon goddess had other plans for us. I was beyond ecstatic, as I made my way to my husband's office.A strong hand held my waist immediately, and I flinched, turning in surprise to see Ethan, my husband's half brother, smiling at me.I pulled his hand off me, but he only held on tighter, "Ethan, stop this. What are you doing?" I snapped at him."You can't deny that you don't feel this too, Ophelia. I..."I snatched his hands away, "What is wrong with you? I am your brother's mate! Are you insane?"I couldn't understand why he was suddenly acting this way. "Half, brothers." He corrected, and I rolled my eyes, walking past him. In my hand, held the doctor's report. The news we both, have been waiting for years now. No doubt this w
Ophelia;"Murderer? Why would they think....?"I didn't have the time to process my thoughts as the Alpha quickly came forward, almost out of breath. He froze, upon setting his eyes on her, "Mother," he whispered. I could hear the brokenness in his voice as he took small steps toward us. He fell on his knees in front of her, his trembling hands reaching out to her. Seeing him that way made my heart break for him."Oh, Enzo..." My heart couldn't take the scene in front of me. As much as he had hurt me, I never wanted to see him this way. I never wanted to see him look as broken as he does now. The night was suddenly quiet. The only sound was from the rustling of leaves by the wind and the faint howl of wolves nearby, probably those going for night runs.But just as suddenly, Enzo's eyes flashed to mine dangerously, "How could you, Ophelia? Is this how you take your revenge? Is this what you could resort to, after all?""What?...." I was confused, "Enzo...you do not possibly think...
Alpha Enzo;My hands tugged at my hair as I paced in my office. It's been ten fucking hours, and the warriors still haven't found her yet. "She might be dead for all we know. This is all your fault!" My wolf, Atlas growled in my head.Atlas had been whining nonstop since last night, and I haven't had a wink of sleep either. The door suddenly opened, and I quickly stood up from the chair. It was my Beta, Logan, looking tired and worried. "What is it? Any news yet?" I asked frantically.He shook his head, sighing deeply, "We couldn't find her. The warriors were at it all night. Not even a glimpse."My fists clenched in my hands at his words, and I punched at the wall angrily. "Fuck!!!"Running a hand over my face, I paced in the office.Logan was quiet for a while, and then he said, "I still can't believe Ophelia would do something like that. That she would actually...."He shook his head like he couldn't dare to say the word."Well, I couldn't believe it as well, Logan. But she f
Ophelia;A few Months LaterMy eyes flew open as a gasp escaped my lips. Pain in my lower belly erupted, making me scream out loud.Discovering I was in a bed, I made to sit up, but I only fell back down. My breathing came out in gasps, as I clutched on my belly. Glancing down, I was surprised to see that my baby bump had increased quite a bit."What is going on? Ava? Where are we?" I asked, reaching out to my wolf.But there was no response."Ava!!" I couldn't reach her. There was a brick wall separating us, which meant, she must have retreated deep into my mind.This isn't happening!"No! Ava! You can't leave me now. No, please!"My eyes scanned the room I was in, the decor and feel of it so strange, I was sure I wasn't in my Pack.The last thing I recalled was falling down the cliff, with Enzo's stoic face before me. My head throbbed badly, and the pain in my lower belly intensified."Ahhhhh!!" I cried out, "Help!!" My voice broke out in a whisper, as the pain shot up my spine, l
Alpha Axel;A low growl escaped my lips as I stepped out the doorStomping my feet angrily, I made my way to my office, where I was immediately met by my Beta, Jeffery. "What's wrong?" He asked as he stood up quickly from a chair, eyeing me warily.My hands swung forward, and I sent the table tumbling over, the files flying all over the place."Fuck!!" I tugged at my hair, "She doesn't recognize me, Jeff. She doesn't feel the mate bond." Jeff's eyes widened, and he asked, "Are you sure about that? That's almost impossible."" Well, it's fucking not, Jeff. She doesn't. I didn't come all this way for my mate to not FEEL the mate bond."I had never been so scared and delighted at the same time, when I found her, washed up at the side of the river, three months back.I never knew I would find my mate so soon. Especially now, that the council of royal elders is on my neck for a Royal heir. The moon Goddess was on my side that very day. But, my fears increased, when her body refused to r
Alpha Enzo;My fingers clenched in my fists, as I stared at the lanky omega, on his knees before me."We need to rip his fucking head off!!" My wolf, Atlas, roared in my head, as he tried to emerge."I am sorry, Alpha. Pardon me, please. I didn't say anything because I....thought I might be mistaken. But as time went by, I was more sure that what I had seen, was indeed what happened. "My fists hit the table with a loud bang, sending some papers flying around, "And what gave you the guts to think that you could come here, and lay baseless claims?"He flinched, his shoulders trembling, as he bowed his head repeatedly.Logan gave me a look, from where he stood, opposite me, "You have to be calm, Alpha. We need to know the facts first before we act." He said in the mind link.I was hardly stable at the moment and was on the verge of losing my senses. If what he was saying was the truth, then..."Fuck!" I stood up abruptly, hitting the chair back, as I paced around.Logan walked over to t
Ophelia;Two Years Later;My hands shook, and I clenched them, as I sat on the soft plush chair, in my chambers. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, as the maids worked on my curls.This was the day. The day I had been patiently waiting for... and I could not help but feel a mix of emotions in me.A slight knock sounded, and the door creaked open. My breath hitched as I caught the reflection of Axel, from the mirror.He was already dressed, in his kingly regalia, looking all dashing and handsome, I couldn't take my eyes away.I gave him a small smile, just as the maids all dropped what they were working with, and scurried out of the room. Bowing and muttering their respects to him, as they passed by.It was the Annual Alpha's conference, which would be held here, in the Dark Mist Wolves Pack. The previous year's wasn't held, due to some issues that were encountered, which made this, the First, after two years.Alphas of different Packs are expected to be around...most of them alre

Alpha Axel;"What the fuck have you done?" I bellowed, wanting to believe he was bluffing, but the look on his face told otherwise. He smiled. The mother fucker actually smiled, like I was some kind of a joke. No one else in my pack riles me up, as much as he does. No one.My chest was fuming, and as much as I would hate to admit, I suddenly feared for Ophelia's condition."You will tell me what it is you are talking about, Maddox," I seethed, with gritted teeth, my emotions going haywire.Zane was growling and howling in my head, urging me to give him control, so he could deal with him once and for all. But I couldn't risk it.He had always wanted to kill Maddox...for a long time now. But I always stopped him. Goddess knew I wanted it as badly as possible, but I needed to be rational.I could very well get away with it, but I do not soil my hands with blood unnecessarily, unless for a good cause...a strong cause.Moreover, I was barely hanging on the single thread of family here.
Alpha Axel;My eyes never left hers, as we stood in the dimly lit room. Every cell in me threatened to grab her and never let her go. Every cell in me threatened to do to her, what I so pleased... What I so desired. But I just couldn't...for now.It had taken everything in me, to relent to this point. And at that moment, I wished she was bluffing. But just as soon as she had spoken, her eyes rolled in her head, and she swayed slightly. Before I could make sense of the situation, she was falling fast to the ground.My eyes followed her movement, and in a moment of panic and confusion, I reached forward in a swift move, grabbing, and pulling her to me, just before she fell to the ground."Goodness, Ophelia, what the hell?" I remarked as I held her back, trying to steady her. She didn't respond, and as I pulled slightly to look at her, my eyes widened."Blood," Zane, my wolf said, as he sniffed the air. It didn't take me long, and I smelt it too.Stronger, even.I felt my heart pulsate,
Ophelia;I felt Enzo's hand rub my arms, and in that fleeting moment, I felt a little bit of nostalgia. I shouldn't..but there was only so little I could do, to see the expression on Olivia's face. Was it worth it? Absolutely. But I simply couldn't tell if I had made a wrong choice, by letting Enzo kiss me. I pulled away immediately, putting as much distance between us as possible, but it seemed like he predicted my move and his arms pulled me back to him, his lips kissing mine with so much fervor.Memories of our time together flashed through my head. Memories of him kissing me the way he was.. loving me. Memories of the time we simply lived together, without any worry in the world, just two mates who were deeply in love with each other. But, those memories were like an illusion at the moment. As much as I tried to live in the moment, our last moment together was at the forefront of my mind. With all my might, I pushed him away from me. "How dare you!?" I seethed, as I struck
Olivia;I was still, my eyes wide open and I felt my heart rate quicken. He stood at the door, his eyes wide, as he stared.What is he doing here? "Ophelia...." He breathed out, his gaze faltering, as they settled on... her, "I've been looking for you. I need to talk to you."I wanted to pretend that I wasn't in this room, as Enzo barged in. I wanted to pretend that I just didn't notice the way his eyes dwelt on her. His pupils dilated, as he stared at her, with a concerned look in his eyes. This was the first, for over a month now that I was able to see Enzo show a bit of emotion.Nothing I could do, these few months were enough to bring him out of the shell, he had so desperately retreated to."I really, really need to talk to you, Ophelia...please," He pleaded, his voice almost in a whisper."Enzo!?" I was flabbergasted that he would want to talk to her, completely disregarding me in the room.This shouldn't be happening. They shouldn't have met again. But my husband simply igno
Olivia;I have always looked forward to this event. The Annual Alpha's conference. I'd looked forward to Enzo finally taking me here as his Luna. It was a shame it wasn't held last year when I was made Luna, but it was a good thing it was held this year. Or not. Right now, I stand in the chambers. The Luna chambers were unable to breathe or ascertain what the hell was going on. I thought I was hallucinating at first. I thought it was just a coincidence that she had the same voice as my sister, Ophelia, who was supposed to be dead and out of my life forever. I wouldn't have imagined she was the same person behind the veil. No, this couldn't be. This couldn't be Ophelia. No way she could transition into this....the Luna Queen? How is this possible? I thought, which was the only thing, aside from gawking at her, I could do at the moment.My head was spiraling into different thoughts ..wondering how she was back in my life yet again.How the hell was she able to...Rage and anger fi
Ophelia My heart thumped in my chest, as the look in Enzo's eyes flashed in my mind, once again.It has been a few years, but the pain of what he had put me through, was still fresh in my mind.Enzo. My mate and lover. The only man I had ever loved with everything I had. Wholeheartedly and unconditionally.Seeing him again did things to me I never expected. He still looked the same, except for the increase in his stubbles. His chest was much broader than I imagined, and as he gazed at me, for that fleeting moment, I could see the same man I had loved all these years.Nothing much had changed, except that he wasn't the same man I had harbored a crush on, way before I even found out we were mates. The fact that he could do that to me, was something I had always wondered. How did he suddenly transform into a stranger, who would rather believe the words of others, over his mate?It had only just begun, as I hadn't healed from the trauma--a trauma risking my child in the process.Thinkin
Enzo;"You call my mate your Luna, Alpha Enzo. But, you have her twin sister, as your Luna currently. So tell me, who the fuck was Karen, then?"My fingers clenched in my fists at the mention of the name. I didn't think he would recall her. Karen."This isn't about Karen," I gritted out, "We are talking about Olivia here. Something happened in the past, which of course was a very big misunderstanding, and...""A misunderstanding that caused you to push your mate off a cliff?"I was beyond pissed and riled up by his choice of words, "I didn't fucking push her...""Oh, I know about all that. You do not have to deny everything. It's just us two. "It was no surprise that he knew so much. But I find myself wondering just how much he knew. What Ophelia had told him. Does she think I had intended to kill her?"It was all a misunderstanding, Alpha. I told...""A misunderstanding that caused you to "accuse" your beloved mate of murdering your mother?" He chuckled, shaking his head, as he rega
Alpha Enzo;Atlas was howling and whining in my head, eager to be let out. Which was a damn surprise, since he was practically MIA for a long period.I wasn't sure, at first. I wasn't certain that she was the one on the stage. I was sure I was mistaken, but the moment she took off the veil, I was stunned, and I felt my body go rigid with shock.How is she the one behind the veil? I wondered. That was supposed to be the Alpha King's mate. That was the Alpha King's Luna!"Ophelia?" I called, once again, my voice breaking slightly, as I stood in front of them. How the hell was she still alive? Was this a fucking dream?She disengaged from the Alpha King and fixed her gaze on me. Her brown eyes rested on mine, and she took a step towards me.My heart raced in my ribcage, as our eyes locked. At that moment, nothing else made sense. I just wanted to hold her close to me and thank the moon goddess for bringing her back alive.She looked so beautiful. So beautiful than she ever did, years b
