ALPHA RYDER'S POVAs the elder declared the meeting adjourned, I felt an inexplicable pull towards April. My instincts screamed at me to protect her, to keep her safe from harm. I moved closer, my eyes locking onto hers as she sat up, her vision stabilizing. For a brief, electrifying moment, our gazes met, and I was transported to a dreamlike state.Memories flashed like fireflies in the background of her eyes, my wolf, Onyx, and a strange, familiar landscape. It was as if I'd seen it all before, yet I knew I hadn't. The vision vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving me with more questions than answers, but one thing I'm nearly sure I is that she felt what I felt too.My rational mind struggled to make sense of it, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of déjà vu. It was as if our souls were reuniting, yet I knew we'd never met before. I felt a deep connection, a sense of belonging, and I knew I had to keep her close.I took advantage of the chaos and lifted April onto my shoulder,
April's POVThe heat of passion consumed me, and I was utterly lost in its flames. I couldn't explain, couldn't rationalize, how I ended up entwined with Alpha Ryder. One moment, I was seeking comfort in his embrace, the next, our eyes locked, and a long-suppressed mutual desire burst free.It was as if our connection was beyond my control, beyond explanation. A primal force that neither of us could resist. His hold tightened, and I felt his hardness pressing against my almost bare thighs, sending shivers down my spine. As I raised my head to meet his gaze, he captured my jaw with his large hands, his fingers digging into my skin with a possessiveness that made my heart race.And then, his lips claimed mine in a kiss that was both fierce and tender, devouring me with a hunger that left me breathless. My lips seemed to have a mind of their own, responding to his passion with equal fervor, as if our mouths were made to fit together like two pieces of a puzzle.His fingers traced the cur
Alpha Ryder's POVI couldn't help but wonder if this was all real, how did we end up here? But my thoughts were cut short as she tightened her grip on my thrusting dick sending waves of pleasure through me. I felt myself surrendering to the moment, my body responding with an intense release that left me breathless. The sensation lasted longer than I expected, leaving me drained yet somehow I felt more alive than I had felt in ages. My past exploits as an alpha seemed to fade into insignificance beside this moment and trust me, that says a lotThe blush spreading across my face seemed to say, 'I'm yours, completely and utterly yours.' And in that moment, I knew I was given to her without reservation or regret.As I dressed, I noticed April's gaze avoiding mine, her face flushed with embarrassment. My wolf senses picked up on her discomfort, and I drew closer, concern etched on my face. 'What's wrong, my Luna?' I asked, gently turning her to face me. 'You're safe with me, your Alpha. No
Alpha Kayson's povAlpha Ronan stunned us all, his sudden transformation into a gold-colored wolf catching us off guard. I was still speaking, my voice raised in anger, when he launched himself at Alpha Ryder. The two Alphas clashed, and tore at each other. The sound of their growls and snarls filled the air, their battle intense and ferocious.For a moment, I considered intervening, to stop the fight before it spiraled out of control. But then I hesitated, realizing that this confrontation had been a long time coming. Alpha Ryder and Alpha Ronan had been at odds for far too long, their rivalry simmering just below the surface and just maybe this might be in my favor.So I made a split-second decision, my eyes fixed on April's limp form. I transformed into my half-wolf form. In one swift motion, I scooped up April, cradling her in my arms as I turned to flee the scene. I didn't look back from the chaos, April's safety was my only concern.Alpha Ronan's PovI was consumed by rage and b
Alpha Kayson's POV As I traveled back to our landside, I was consumed by anger and frustration. I couldn't wait to be alone with Rage, my wolf, and try to make sense of everything. I trusted Rage's instincts, but I couldn't understand why he was so adamant that we claim this Omega. She seemed to have no reservations about who she was with, and it infuriated me that we had to wait in line for Ryder's leftovers.If it weren't for the oaths treaty that bound us, I would have ripped Ryder to shreds right then and there. I was seething with rage, but I kept my cool, knowing that losing control would only make things worse.The girl, April, was quiet with embarrassment, and I didn't say a word to her until we got home. I couldn't bear to look at her, let alone speak to her. My beta, who had never dared to meet my eyes for nearly twenty years, was now plotting against me. All because of this girl. I couldn't help but wonder what I had gained from this whole ordeal. Nothing but humiliation a
Alpha Ronan's Pov I spent two nights pondering my next move, weighing the risks and benefits of each plan. This one, I decided, was the best course of action, the one that would minimize casualties and maximize gain. I'm sure even Lupa would understand my reasoning.They thought I was being gentle, but little did they know, I was just biding my time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Two can play at this game, and three can play even better. I had been sitting on a cliff overlooking our lands, brooding and scheming, my mind racing with possibilities.As the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the landscape, I spotted two grey wolves in the distance. The Grey Twins, our eastern spies, known for their sharp vision and nicknamed "the ghost and the darkness." Their presence meant only one thing, an update.With tensions high and uncertainty in the air, I knew ambushes and attacks from rogue packs were imminent. That's why we'd doubled our security since returning from t
April's POV I sobbed late into the night, my heart heavy with the accumulation of catastrophes that had followed me everywhere, beyond my control. The tears stung my eyes, and I couldn't hold them back. But as I cried, I began to hum a tune, and before I realized it, I was singing. It was a song I hadn't sung in a long time, one that told the story of a lost pup found by driads and wood nymphs in the mountains.The pup grew up, but its fate was a tragic one it devoured the children of the very creatures that had taken it in. The song was a lament, a sad tale of a mother past her fertile years, mourning the loss of her only child to a stray pup they had shown kindness to. My voice tore through the darkness, echoing off the walls of the cave room.I sang on, the melody pouring out of me like a river, carrying with it all my sorrow, pain, and longing. The song became a cry for help, a plea to the universe to end my suffering, to take away the pain that had become my constant companion.
Alpha Ronan's Pov I looked at my team, and I could see the determination in their eyes. They were ready to do this, ready to help me take April from Kayson's grasp. I nodded at them, and we began to move stealthily towards the Landside pack's territory. The Danish peppers we had applied to our skin to mask our scent were burning, but we gritted our teeth and pushed on.As we approached the lair, my heart began to race with anticipation. This was it, our chance to take April and show Kayson and Ryder who the greater alpha is. I signaled to my team, and we fanned out, surrounding the lair. I crept forward, my ears perked up, listening for any sign of movement or danger. The wind carried the faint sound of April's voice, singing a haunting melody that sent shivers down my spine. My eyes locked onto the lair, my mind fixed on the prize. We were so close.Then, just as we were about to move in, I heard a faint rustling in the underbrush. I froze, my hackles raised. What was that? I turned
