JAXON'S POVI brought her back to the old place where it all started. The house at the edge of the pack was where she hid when she was still in her right senses. When she still saw Magnus for the hypocrite that he is,"Why are we here?" She was even more beautiful than before."You will see.""Is my baby in here?""Do you want to see for yourself?" Why was I answering her questions with a question?I pushed the door open. "I fixed the door. You know the one Magnus threw me into?""Jaxon, I really am not interested. I don't feel sorry for you or anything. I just want to see my baby. How hard is that to comprehend?""I'm sorry, my lady." He smirked. He finds her adorable with her smart mouth. "Your baby is right up ahead."She climbed the stairs and went into his room. There was the baby. There was a maid with him."Who are you?" She jumped up."His mother, that's who. Get out.""No, Alpha Jaxon said...""I don't care what Jaxon said. Get the fuck away from my son." She yelled at him. I
FINAL CHAPTERMAGNUS POV"What are we doing then?" Mane asked."He will be waiting for an attack. We won't give him one.""So we are not attacking him?""We definitely are.""I'm confused, Alpha.""It's simple. We are still going to go with the strategy you drafted, except that I'll go in first. Distract him.""Oh. That's much better; the spy said he's getting passports done, so we know he's leaving soon, and he will be at his pack.""Exactly." I stood up, battle-ready. "Let's get a move on then. I would hate to miss him.""Yes, Alpha.""I'll go first. Lead the men and meet me there.""Yes, Alpha." I got in my car and drove off. This was the third time I was traveling this route in months, and I hope this will be the last time I'm going with fear and uncertainty in my heart.If our plan works, then this will be an easy win. I packed my car about ten meters from his house at the edge of the park and waited until the coast was clear."Alpha, come in." Mane's voice filled the earpiece I
The pack members gathered outside the square, there was tension in the air, my heart pounded in my chest matching the echoing howls that surrounded us. A knot tightened in my stomach as everyone's gaze fell on Magnus. The accused stood at the center. His black hair fell over his face, covering most of his features, his gray eyes that always glistened now looked dull by the weight of accusation.Magnus was accused of treason against the Alpha, the very leader we were bound to obey. Such crimes were unforgivable. I stood in uncertainty observing silently what judgment would be passed. My heart ached for him. I knew he was innocent, but my words held no strength as I couldn't prove his innocence. The judgment came, Alpha Lucas, a commanding figure with an aura of authority, stepped forward. I braced myself for the sentence that would seal Magnus' destiny. The Alpha, his voice a low growl, declared "Magnus Kade, accused of treason against the Alpha, by the sacred laws of our kind, you a
Three Years AgoMy father's voice jolted me awake. "Smile, darling. You look like a corpse," he whispered with a touch of irritation. I managed a forced grin, hoping to appear joyful at the Full Moon celebration. As the Beta's daughter, attendance was obligatory, but after enduring eighteen years of the same festivities, it had grown painfully monotonous.I observed the dance, music, and merriment unfold with a sense of detachment. Lucas, the current Alpha, sat beside his Luna, Lyra.He was handsome, they said, but I never found him attractive. I didn't have a particular spec. I was content to let fate decide my mate. I have seen members of our pack live in peace with their mates even without falling for them. I wanted more than that, I wanted a strong connection with my mate, I wanted to crave him as much as he would crave me.Looking up at the full moon, I silently prayed, "When will I meet him, moon goddess? Please, let him be handsome, kind and very strong." But the moon offered n
Taken aback, I stepped away, meeting the gaze of the young man lounging on a tree branch above. His intense stare sent shivers down my spine, and I realized I still didn't know his name."Do you live in the woods?" I questioned, my voice carrying a mix of curiosity and a hint of exasperation."I own a condo in the city with a breathtaking view. But I had a feeling we'd cross paths again," he responded, descending from the tree with a feline grace."I'm Magnus Kade," he introduced himself, extending his hand. "Audrey Smith," I replied, accepting his hand.Standing in front of me, his tall figure cast a shadow, evoking a mixture of emotions—fear, longing, and intense curiosity.I looked up at him with nervousness. "What brought you here the other day?""Avoiding fate," he responded, leaning against a tree and observing me. "It becomes exhausting trying to force my own happiness. And you?"I paused, trying to find the right words. "I usually come here for some quiet time," I said defen
"Why didn't you mark me?" I inquired, confusion evident in my voice."I want to do this the right way," Magnus replied, his gaze fixed on some distant point. "We'll announce our bond tomorrow and have a proper mating ceremony. How does that sound?"I nodded, a smile playing on my lips. I snuggled closer to him, relishing the warmth and safety of his arms."That's perfect," I whispered, contentment washing over me.When I woke up the next morning, Magnus' side of the bed was empty, as though he had never been there. The lingering scent of our passion filled the air, and I found myself revisiting the memories of the night before. The day had just started, and our love story was unfolding.Little did I realize that the challenges and adventures we would encounter were not yet complete. Our journey had only just begun, and I was eager to discover where it would take us.********************Present DayMagnus appeared vastly changed from the person I once knew. His mere presence demanded
Days went by, filled with the dull routine of being alone and the constant replay of my own thoughts. One morning, I walked into the gardens, hoping to find comfort among the greenery. Out of nowhere, a voice broke the silence, catching me off guard."Hey, Audrey, right?" he said, smiling at me."Yeah, that's me," I replied, turning around to see Jaxon, Magnus' ally, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack."How are you holding up?" he asked, looking concerned."It's been tough, you know? But hey, I'm surviving," I said, trying to keep things light with a small smile."Surviving is a good start. I'm Jaxon, by the way," he introduced himself in a friendly way."Nice to meet you, Jaxon," I replied, feeling a mix of curiosity and caution."Umm, where are you headed?" he asked, still looking concerned."Nowhere in particular, just taking a walk," I said, glancing around."Is it okay if I join you?" he asked politely. I shrugged, trying to seem indifferent, and said, "Sure."As we walked, Jaxon's
Another night, another nightmare. I woke up once again with a start. To be fair, I had no right to call my blissful memories with Magnus a nightmare. But it always ended with him accusing me of betraying him.Since I was up already, I decided to take a stroll in the garden and hope the scent of fresh leaves would lure out Silver. I was due for a run in the woods, but after yesterday's incident with Magnus, I didn't want to push my luck.“What's happening?“ I noticed activity in the house. I pulled aside one of the omegas in the pack house.I could tell she didn't want to talk to me, but I was still their Alpha's mistress. “Tell me.“ I commanded with a confidence I didn't feel.“Alpha Magnus wants to see everyone in the square.“ She said curtly before scurrying away.I could tell Magnus wanted me to be late for the meeting, so he could make a fool of me in public. I was once the only woman in his eyes. Tears welled up in my eyes at the unfortunate change in our relationship.I could s
