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
Alpha Chase's POVThe guards, under Simon's lead, swiftly moved in to apprehend Feina and her mother. Feina was struggling, shouting curses and insults at everyone around her, while her mother had tears streaming down her face, pleading for mercy. "Alpha Chase, have mercy," she begged but I turned a deaf ear to her pleas.The atmosphere in the pack house had turned tense, and the members were divided between shock, anger, and disappointment.Although I had my fair share of betrayals, I never thought Feina would do something like this. As Feina and her mother were dragged away to the dungeons, I turned to face the pack members who had gathered after witnessing the shocking revelation. "Today, we have uncovered the truth behind the malicious acts that have been plaguing our pack," I addressed them. "It is with a heavy heart that I must admit that I was also deceived by Feina's treachery."Gasps filled the room, and some pack members murmured in disbelief. Feina had been a part of the
Royal's POVThe sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the sprawling fields that stretched as far as the eye could see. I adjusted the rearview mirror to get a better look at my two-year-old son, Aiden, who was strapped securely in his car seat. His tiny hands held onto his favorite stuffed toy, a worn-out teddy bear named Mr. Cuddles, as he stared curiously out the window, enjoying the view and excited to see his uncle and aunty."We're almost there, Aiden," I said, a smile playing on my lips. "Can you see the moon rising?""Moon!" Aiden squealed in delight, pointing at the pale sliver of silver beginning to appear in the sky. "My favorite thing in nature!""That's right, baby. The moon is saying hello to us," I replied, my heart swelling with love for this little boy who had brought so much joy into my life.He stares at the moon, waving at it like he did ever since he was born. We were on our way back to the Silver Lining pack, a community of werewolves living ha
Royal's POV Rico's question hung in the air, unanswered. No one knew who could have done such a terrible thing to the two men. Devi, wiping away the tears from her eyes, took a deep breath to compose herself. "I-I don't know, Alpha Rico," one of the guards stammered, her voice shaking with emotion. "We found them like this, at the borders, as if they were caught by surprise. And they aren't our pack members?" "They aren't?" I asked, in confusion looking at Rico and Devi and then back at the guards. "Then why were their bodies found at our pack borders? Were they killed there? Or did someone dump it there on purpose?" "But how could this happen?" another pack member asked, his voice filled with fear and anger. "Dumping their bodies there is accusing us! And that is almost the same as attacking us. Who would dare do this?" "I don't know," Rico said, my mind racing to find answers. "But we must remain vigilant and united. We cannot let fear or anger divide us. We need to investigate
Royal's POV"I don't know Royal," Rico answered with throbbing veins on his head. "This is not just about us. Someone is doing this to all the packs, but why?" I asked. "Why are you killing rogues and dumping them at the border of each pack? Is it a warning?"As I spoke, Rico leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the ceiling as if searching for answers among the swirling patterns of the office's ornate decor. "I wish I had the answers, Royal. But it seems like every pack is facing the same gruesome fate. It's as if this is a coordinated effort to send a chilling message to all of us. But what message?"He sighed heavily, rubbing his temples again. "I've been trying to figure out who could be behind this, but so far, I'm hitting dead ends. We need to be cautious and vigilant. This isn't just an attack on one pack. It's a declaration of war against all of us."I clenched my fists, "Are the neighborhood packs here on bad terms with someone?""No. None that I know of. But there's o
Royal's POV"But the witches have been eradicated ever since the battle with that bloodthirsty Alpha. The Alpha Chase of the Crescent Moon Pack! Could they have survived?" Another asked, mirroring my thoughts.Rico shot me a grave look. "Looks like it's not all of them that died. Some might have survived, or there could be new ones hiding among us. We can't rule anything out at this point. We all need to be vigilant!"I nodded, realizing the severity of the situation. If witches were indeed involved, it meant dealing with a force beyond our understanding. It was a threat to me and others alike.The story of the war with Chase flooded my mind. It was known to be brutal, and the losses were immeasurable. The thought of facing witches again made me happy and scared. Happy to see my kind and scared for what they were doing as it seemed like revenge for almost eradicating us. The same revenge, Lillian wanted."We need to gather more information about these witches," Someone interrupted me
ALPHA CHASE'S POV "I can't say, but you have a chance to take her back…" he said and I admired his honesty. After eating, we headed back to the hospital room pending the time Simon prepared a room for him in the pack house since he planned on staying. As Rico and I sat in Royal's hospital room, waiting anxiously for any news about her condition, we heard a knock at the door and we saw two women, with a baby. "Mother? Devi? Asher?" Rico called out in surprise and together with Aiden, they ran out with smiles on their faces. "Grandmother, Auntie!” Aiden beamed as he stretched to carry the little one. Curious, I walked outside too. "Alpha Chase," both women greeted in unison. "How is she?" the older lady inquired, her voice trembling with worry. "We're expecting good news," I answered, still waiting for an introduction, which Alpha Rico did. "Lady Loretta, Luna Devi, thank you for coming. The doctors are running tests to determine what's causing her condition." They asked me if
ALPHA CHASE'S POV"Really?" I chuckled. "So nice of them to do me a favor by coming to me directly! Prepare the men!" I ordered and with a nod, he left. Making sure not to disturb my mate and son, I took out a few clothes for battle and then headed out. As I stepped out of the elevator, I cracked my knuckles, a wicked smile playing on my lips. Been so long since the bloodthirsty Alpha went to battle.As I led my pack members out to confront the rogue wolves who dared to breach our territory and threaten us, I felt confident even though it was unplanned.To avoid anyone getting hurt, my warriors and I had no choice but to confront these intruders head-on before they got to the bustling area of the pack.We finally met them and as I looked at the intruders, I couldn't help but notice a familiar face among them. Feina, my ex-girlfriend, stood there, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. I banished her from our pack when I discovered the dark deeds she had committed, and it was clea
ROYAL'S POV:"If you love yourself and your son, come alone!" The second message read.Without another word, I left the room, my steps echoing through the empty hallways as I made my way to the warehouse on the abandoned Omega Road. My every heartbeat was a drumming reminder of my desperation, pushing me to reach Aiden as quickly as possible.When I reached the abandoned building, my heart pounded in my chest. The darkness and silence that surrounded it sent a shiver down my spine. But I couldn't afford to hesitate. I took a deep breath and pushed open the creaking door, my senses alert for any sign of danger.Inside, the dimly lit interior revealed a horrifying sight. There, in the middle of the warehouse, I saw my son, Aiden, bound and gagged, tears streaming down his little face. My heart clenched at the sight, and I rushed to his side, my own tears mingling with his as I untied him. "My baby,” I whispered."Mommy!" Aiden cried out, throwing his tiny arms around my neck.I held hi
ROYAL'S POVIn my frantic state, I clung to Alpha Chase, tears streaming down my face as I struggled to catch my breath. My heart was a storm of fear and anguish, and all I could think of was our precious Aiden, taken away from us by cruel and unknown hands.Alpha Chase's eyes were wide with shock and concern as he held me close. "How did this happen, Royal? Tell me everything," he pleaded, his voice filled with urgency.Taking a shaky breath, I recounted the horrifying events. "We were on our way to the Silver Lining pack. Aiden was asleep in my lap in the backseat. Suddenly, a group of masked men ambushed us. They were armed, and there was nothing we could do. They forced me out of the car and... hit me then they took Aiden with them," I choked on my words, reliving the traumatic moment.Alpha Chase's jaw clenched in anger as he processed the information. "We will find them," he vowed, his voice filled with determination to save his son "Simon, we need to act fast. Gather our best t
Alpha Chase's POVShe left. The one woman who gave me peace. The one woman who broke my curse, the mother of my child left!Watching the vehicle which carried Royal and our son Aiden away, brought immense pain to my heart.As the sound of Royal's car faded into the distance, I couldn't help but feel empty. The days I spent with Royal and Aiden were more than magical. Now, with her gone, I was left with a void that seemed impossible to fill. "I told you to tell her, didn't I?" my angry wolf scolded. "If I did, she'd have packed her things and left that instant. I didn't know last night would happen and I would be so trapped that I would spill it all…" I answered.I sighed heavily and went back to my home. To the grand doors of the six-story pack house. I clenched my jaw and pushed the heavy wooden doors open, stepping into the familiar scent of my home. My footsteps echoed through the corridor as I made my way to my office. The pack had been in turmoil since I'd been away for treatm
Royal's POVWith those words, Chase came into my room, horny and ready to devour me whole. I, on the other hand, was prepared for him no matter how much I lied to myself. I wanted him, and only him.Just like old times, his hand touched me in all the sweet and weak spots and the feeling was heavenly. He kissed me with so much desire, that I could feel myself submitting to him when he had not even started anything yet."Just fuck me already," I screamed in my subconscious but didn't dare to say it out. Why rush what I'd enjoy throughout the night? A few minutes into foreplay, I regretted my decision as I tried so hard to push him away while he ate me out. His tongue, his lips, his fingers, everything! I was so lost in the pleasure, that my moans disappeared, replaced by gasps and shudders. One command from him and more juice dripped from my insides and I lay there like a goddess being worshiped.Once he satisfied himself and turned my legs to jelly, he spread my legs, positioning his
Royal's POV As our lips locked once again, my mind raced with conflicting emotions. This was Chase, the Alpha who sent me away. He didn't believe me when I was all alone. But now, something changed between us, and I couldn't ignore the intensity of the feelings rushing through me.As we kissed, my heart battled with my rational mind. I pulled away gently, breaking the kiss, and a heavy silence hung in the air. My heart pounded in my chest, and I could see the confusion mirrored in Chase's eyes."Silver," he whispered, his voice soft and uncertain. "I... I don't know what just happened, but I can't ignore how I feel about you."My breath hitched, and I took a step back, creating some distance between us. "Chase, I can't deny that there's something between us, but we can't act on it. We've been through so much together, and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship."He sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "But Royal, what if we're meant to be more than just friends?
Royal's Pov Taking a deep breath, I knelt down to be at eye level with Aiden. Before I could answer, Alpha Chase blurted out, "Yes I am your father!"The words hung in the air, and for a moment, me and Aiden both stared at Alpha Chase in utter surprise. The crackling of the fire seemed to echo the shock that just enveloped us."Chase," I said softly, her voice a mix of disbelief and confusion.Chase winked at me then turned to Aiden with eyes filled with determination, "I know I should have told you both sooner, but I wanted to make sure it was the right time. Aiden, you are my son, and I've always been watching over you from afar."Aiden's eyes widened, a whirlwind of emotions washing over him. "You're my father? But... why didn't you tell me before?"Chase knelt down next to me and placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "I wanted to keep you and your mother safe. There were dangerous forces that threatened us, and I thought it was best to stay away until we could ensure your safety."
Third person povThose words struck Royal like a thunderbolt. She didn't prepared herself for the possibility that Alpha Chase might not remember himself or their past together. Her heart sank, but she pushed her emotions aside and put on a reassuring smile."That's okay," she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady. "You've been through a lot. It's normal to feel disoriented. Just focus on resting and recovering."Alpha Chase nodded weakly, seemingly accepting her words without further question. He struggled to sit up, and Royal quickly moved to assist him.Since he was the only one who needed treatment, Royal decided to stay back and watch him.Although Rico and Devi were not happy with the decision to stay with Chase after everything, they understood what she wanted.As the first rays of the morning sun cascaded through the windows, Royal stepped into the cozy living room of her humble abode to meet Chase. "Good morning, Chase," she greeted with a warm smile, setting a tray o
