Alana’s POV.“The pack is secured for now, everyone can go back to their houses.” Alpha Ethan said, his eyes still lingered on me, like he had something to say to me.The beta walked close to me, “The Alpha will like to speak to you after this.” He whispered.I nodded, my heart beating frantically as I wondered what it was, unsettled by the fact that the alpha wanted to speak to me about...With everything that just happened recently, I don’t know what it could be about.“Wait at home for me okay, I need to speak with the Alpha.” I turned to Liam who nodded and walked out with other pack members.“What is it?” I immediately asked Alpha Ethan to walk towards me.“I don’t know how to say this to you.” He paused for a few seconds, looking uncomfortable. The Alpha never looked nervous or awkward around anyone.“Say it.” I swallowed hard waiting for him to speak up.“It concerns your old pack…” He trailed off.I stilled, my heart hammering fast inside of me, “My old pack?” My throat felt d
Alana’s POV.I stared at my reflection in the mirror one more time, satisfied that I looked decent enough to attend the monthly pack meeting.I couldn’t wait to tell Nathan the good news, my heart beat a little faster with every second that ticked by.I envisioned his reaction when I finally got to tell him, his shocked look and then he would kiss me until my lips would be swollen and I would get breathless from lack of oxygen.I shook myself off from those thoughts, a blush stained and my face warmed up as I thought of our moments together.I walked as fast I could to the location the pack members gathered for the monthly pack meeting.I smiled when I noticed Nathan, as the Alpha he was surrounded by the pack’s werewolves and he talked to everyone who walked to him. It was obvious how late I was for the meeting.Walking closer to him, I tugged on his shirt, calling his attention to my presence. He turned to me with an unreadable expression on his face.He shrugged my hand off, his ex
Alana’s POV.I stared at my best friend and a sigh escaped my mouth as I realized it wasn’t a stranger who touched me earlier.“Hi Aurora.” I sniffled, not bothering to wipe the tear from my face.“I heard what happened, I walked out to get something and I came back and everyone was talking about it.” She frowned, reaching out for my hand.My body was numb, but I didn’t pull away when she took my hand in hers, instead staring at our joined hands and the way they looked like an old friendship bracelet.She pulled me up, “I’m sorry that happened,” She whispered. “Are you okay though?” I shrugged, “I mean, I feel numb, but I guess I’ll be okay. It hurts really bad though.”“You should try and talk to him later.” She suggested, a weird smile appeared on her face. A smile I had never seen before.I paused, and stared at her for a while, confused and wondering if I imagined the gleeful smile I saw , “I will do that… I guess…”She dropped me at my room and I walked in, still feeling hurt
Alana’s POV.I paused immediately as I walked into the pack’s garden, hurt and irritation made me pause at the scene in front of me, the plan to clear my head in the garden, vanished immediately as I stared at Aurora and Nathan.“I’ve missed you.” Aurora murmured, kissing Nathan.“You saw me last night.” He replied, they kissed like they needed each other to breathe.I couldn’t take it anymore, everything that happened two days ago and right now was too unbearable for me.I stared at Aurora and Nathan, and my wolf began pacing, getting more erratic with each second. The pain that came from the realization of what had happened to me started spreading through me again.I tried to ignore the feeling of suffocation, as I looked away from Aurora and Nathan.But it didn’t work, everything felt unbearable, like a million needles piercing through my heart, trying to get out of me. My breathing got deeper, but no matter how much I tried I could not calm down my wolf. The sensation grew more
Alana’s POV.“Who are you?” I asked fearfully, my heart hammering in my chest and the back of my neck prickling with apprehension at this tall stranger. He was a handsome man,his lips were curled into an unreadable frown and he held up a hand to stop any further questions from me.His aura looked like that of an alpha, there was always an air around them, and he had that same look of authority about him that was common among Alphas. “I should ask you that.” He said, his voice deep and resonant. It sent shivers running down my spine at the sound of it, making my skin prickle with goosebumps.“I’m within my pack and you seem like a trespasser.” I managed to spit out. I took in a quick breath, trying to steady myself and calm my nerves down. He looked amused. “So, what is your business here?”He let out a low chuckle, “I came for a little visit, but I’ll be going right away.”“Can I join you?” I blurted out before I could stop myself.The man cocked an eyebrow, his gaze flicking from
Alana’s POV.“I’ll be leaving the pack today, I came to say my goodbyes.” I said, the words leaving my mouth quickly.The whole hall was deadly silent, the atmosphere growing tense. They stared at me in shock, jaws dropping, eyes wide and mouths gaping open.I gulped. I didn’t know whether to feel proud of myself or terrified out of my wits. I felt like I would lose my nerve and run away if I stayed any longer. “Why should we care?” Aurora demanded angrily. Her tone was dripping with derision and scorn. I bit my lip in irritation because I knew it would do no good to start arguing with her.“I don’t know why you think making a fuss about leaving will make us care.” Aurora added with a smirk, I knew she was trying to goad my reaction.Her face fell when she realized I wasn’t going to answer her.“She thinks she’s important.” One of Aurora’s new friends said with disgust on her face.“Right.” Aurora agreed sarcastically, before turning to me again and saying, “You just don’t want to
Nathan’s POV.*****A Day Before Alana’s Rejection*****I smirked when I thought of Alana, our moments together replayed in my head as if it was yesterday. The day I decided that she’d be mine and no one else’s. My lips pressed into a soft smile as my fingers trailed gently over my shirt, the one she wore after our night together.I couldn’t wait to announce to the pack that she would be their Luna soon.A knock on the door drew my attention away from my reflection in the mirror. The knock sounded again this time more urgent and impatient. My eyebrows furrowed slightly as I quickly pulled my hands back into the front pocket of my pants. I took my time walking towards the door, “Who is it?”“Good morning Alpha Nathan.” The seer bowed respectfully. Her eyes were full of worry which made me immediately uneasy.I nodded, “What’s the matter?”She swallowed nervously, “Your… your mate is…”“My mate is what?.” I demanded , my voice becoming increasingly louder as panic set in, “Is something

Alana’s POV.***5 years later***“Mom, can I get a new ball?” Liam asked, as he ran towards me with a torn ball, his shirt covered in dirt and grass stains from playing on the yard. “You’ve ruined your new ball.” I faked a glare at him, before reaching out my hand for the ball he held. He looks and behaves exactly like his father, I sighed as I ignored the slight pang in my heart.“Won’t I get another one?” He pouted , “please please mom,” he whined and pleaded as if there was no tomorrow. I chuckled softly, shaking my head.“I just need to have another one. Please mom!” He pleaded, I raised my eyebrows as he stared at me with his puppy dog eyes, even when they were grey just like his father. He looked so cute when he did that. His dark hair was sticking out messily and it was slightly messy because he had dirt all over his face, but his eyes shone brightly. “Okay, but only this time.” I smiled back at him and ruffled his hair gently, earning a small giggle from him. He really h
