Alpha Chase's PovThe issue with Royal quickly died down and the day went on fast.I stood alongside Feina in the midst of a gathering consisting of our friends, families, pack member, and other well-wishers surrounding us under the moonlight for our wedding.It was the night I dreamed of, the night we were getting married, the night my title as Alpha solidifies.As I gazed into Feina's eyes, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. She looked breathtakingly beautiful in her flowing white gown, her beautiful hair cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled with love as she smiled warmly at me.The sound of music filled the air, gently playing in the background as Feina and I exchanged vows, promising to love and support each other through all the ups and downs of life. Just as the moon reached its zenith, a wave of dizziness washed over me, and I clutched my head trying to stabilize myself. "Are you okay, Chase?" she asked and I nodded thinking it was a mild headache.All of a su
Royal's POVI froze, my eyes widening in disbelief. "Luna?" I repeated my voice barely a whisper."Yes, Royal. You are our Luna." the woman replied with excitement. "Your white wolf signifies that you are destined to be the Luna of our pack."I took in their words one by one, my mind swirling with confusion and uncertainty. "I... I can't be your Luna," I stammered. "I think there must be some mistake."The women exchanged puzzled glances and one of them stepped forward. "Royal, our pack has been waiting for you. We've seen signs and received prophecies that our Luna would come to us in the form of a white wolf. With your arrival and the connection you share with our pack, it's all too powerful to ignore."I shook my head, my emotions in turmoil. "I appreciate your belief in me, but I'm just an ordinary woman from a seemingly powerful background. I think you're mistaken about me being your Luna."The woman reached out and gently touched my arm, her touch comforting yet persistent. "Som
Royal's POV I turned around then my eyes fell on the lady who walked in and I was stunned. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes a shade of deep amber that seemed to hold an extraordinary glow.She exuded an aura of power and authority, and her presence immediately commanded attention. Although I've heard of her, I never met her till now."Who are you?" Clara hissed, her eyes narrowing at the newcomer. "What are you doing here?"The lady's expression remained calm, but there was a flash in her eyes. "I'm here to protect what's mine," she replied, her voice carrying a form of warning to Clara."What do you mean protect what's yours? And who the fuck are you? What are you doing here?" Clara retorted, facing her."The question you asked should be directed towards you Clara. What are you doing here in Royal's room? And don't tell me you're here to congratulate her because that wasn't what you were doing when I walked in.”Clara's eyes darted between me and Devi and she raised her h
Royal's POV"Don't worry, Royal. Devi didn't leave. She had to take a phone call. Something urgent came up, but she'll be back soon. She asked me to stay and be with you until she returns.""Oh, I see," I replied, a bit disappointed that their conversation was interrupted, but also understanding that emergencies can happen at any time.Rico pulled up a chair and sat down next to me. "I hope you're doing okay. I can only imagine how overwhelming everything must be for you, especially with everything that's been going on lately. We couldn't finish our conversations earlier either…""It has been a lot," I admitted, glancing down at Aiden who was peacefully sleeping in his crib. "But I'm hanging in there. Aiden, my fire, keeps me strong. And now, with Devi's presence, I feel a little more supported too."Rico nodded, smiling, as his mind drifted to his mate. "Devi is a good person. She's always been protective of those she cares about, and I can see she genuinely cares for you and Aiden."
Alpha Chase's Pov"Speak Simon. I'm waiting!”Simon took a deep breath before continuing, "We have reason to believe that the leak did not come from the halfling. After conducting a thorough investigation and reevaluating the evidence, we've discovered some inconsistencies that indicate Royal might have been framed.""What?” I yelled, turning to face him. "Are you serious?" I asked and he nodded.My heart sank at the revelation. If what Simon was saying was true, it meant we had banished an innocent member, and possibly my own mate, and carried my unborn child, without just cause. For the first time, guilt and regret clawed at my chest, and I felt angry and sorrowful at the same time."How could we have been so blind?" I murmured, my voice heavy with regret. "She told us. She begged us, but we didn't listen.""It's not entirely your fault, Alpha," Simon replied, attempting to console me. "The evidence against her was convincing, and we were all under immense pressure to address the s
Alpha Chase's POVThe words slipped out of my lips, heavy with sorrow and hurt. Everyone gasped and tears began to fall from their cheeks. "Mother!” A young woman cried, leaning on others as she broke down.The news of the woman quickly spread, and soon everyone in the gathering was mourning the loss of the old woman who was a wise and cherished member of the community. The wolves howled mournfully into the night, revealing our loss.As the night wore on, I couldn't help but feel haunted as the woman didn't finish her sentence. Was this the old witch playing pranks on me?The idea of breaking the curse that had haunted me for so long filled me with hope, but I didn't know where to start and now that the moon was up, it was time to cry in agony. "Prepare everything and everyone for the burial!" I ordered and left for a secluded place to spend the painful night.With the first light of dawn, I wore my black clothes while the rest of the pack gathered soberly outside the old woman's c
Silver Lining Pack."Alpha Rico, Luna Devi, good morning," the guard greeted with his head low. Alpha Rico and Luna Devi acknowledged the guard's greeting with a nod and a warm smile."Good morning, Jacob," Alpha Rico replied. "Is there something you need to report?"Jacob straightened his posture and looked a little hesitant. "Yes, Alpha. There's an urgent matter I must bring to your attention. Two individuals just entered our pack lands. They claim to be from Crescent Moon Pack, and their names are Alpha Chase and Beta Simon."Luna Devi raised an eyebrow, curious, "Crescent Moon Pack? That's quite a distance away. What brings them here?""I'm not entirely sure, Luna Devi," Jacob said. "They mentioned that they seek an audience with you and Alpha Rico. They said it's a matter of utmost importance."Alpha Rico exchanged a quick glance with his mate and then nodded. "Very well, Jacob. Bring them here."With a bow, Jacob left and soon walked in with two men behind him. With another bow
Alpha Chase's POVThe sun shone brightly up in the sky, casting a glow upon the winding road as I drove my car back to my pack. I gripped the steering wheel tightly as my mind was heavy with disappointment and worry. For weeks now, I have been going through various packs, seeking any information on my mate, Royal, but every lead turned up empty. It's either they didn't see her or they saw her a while ago and chased her out.It felt like I was chasing a ghost, and I couldn't shake the feeling that time was slipping through my fingers like grains of sand.As I drove, memories of the last time I saw her flashed in my mind like a heart-wrenching movie reel. Royal, with her radiant smile that could light up the darkest night. She had been a captivating presence from the moment I set my eyes on her during the selection. Who knew she was my mate? But someone just had to frame her!The road stretched out before me, bordered by dense forests. My pack, the Crescent Moon Pack, was still a few
