“This isn’t fair, Evander! There is a rule that only from the higher rank in a pack should an Alpha choose a girl to become the Luna of his pack! A higher rank to carry a strong offspring and continue the bloodline of his clan!”“Enough Nora!” Beta Kian hissed threateningly at the old lady and Nora just galred at him with her lips curled in a snarl.I didn’t know why Alpha Evander just let Nora and his former mate stay in the hall. Then I realized that the more they tried to ruin Alpha Evander’s reputation, the more the people in the hall believed that the Yorks were really desperate to destroy Evan’s name.But then Nora was right about the rule that an Alpha should choose a high-ranking Luna for his pack.“Holly Ambrose is my fated mate, Nora. And that means she’s excluded from the rules.” Alpha Evander’s snarl rippled in his throat.Everyone was silenced.Goddess. I wanted to run away and leave! I wanted to tear my dress and just f*cking get away from all of them but Alpha Evander’s
I couldn’t look him on the face.Charles Wakeham. That was the Alpha King’s name. He looked young for a fifty five year old he-wolf. When the wedding was shortly paused by the Alpha King, thanks to Cindy and her mom ruining everything for me and Evander, the Alpha King asked my mate and some of us to have a short talk. I didn’t know what he meant about the ‘talk’ but Sheiyan whispered to me that Alpha Charlie wanted to make a private announcement to everyone of us.“Is it okay that we leave all those people in the wedding hall?” I asked Sheiyan with anxious face. She was still upset about what Cindy did and if only killing was not a huge crime, Sheiyan had already ripped Cindy and her mother’s throat.“They have to wait in Alpha King’s request, Holly. Don’t worry. Evander knows what he is doing. He already have an idea why the King wanted to talk with us privately.” She held my hand and squeezed it tight as she gave me a reassuring look, “Everything will be alright, sis.” she smiled.
“No! That can’t be true! That’s f*cking ridiculous!” Cindy York cried like a five-year-old child, with the sentinels still suppressing her from stepping closer to the gazebo. Only her mother looked back at her with a pale face, still unable to believe what was happening.I swallowed hard, lost for words, because my heart and mind were in chaos about how I would react to all of it.“And if it wasn’t for Alpha Evander’s huge help and his perseverance to find you, I would have forever succumbed to the darkness that almost destroyed this kingdom. I would have given up my faith to see you and hold you again.”Alpha Charles looked at me with fatherly eyes and longed for his child. I met his gaze and saw thousands of emotions swimming in it as he reached for his hand, asking for me to hold it. To feel that I was real. That I was alive and not just a hallucination—a dream that he thought would never come true.I looked at Evander first and he murmured to me so softly with a smile on his lips,
I couldn’t believe my father knew the truth and didn’t tell me about it. Why did he hide everything from me? To make me stay in the Ambrose manor so I will remain their slaves as long as they could? Were they trying to rebel against the Alpha King? The crown?The tips of my fingers were cold and I was numb all over. I didn't know if I should be happy that Randalf Ambrose was not my biological father but dad and I—we had wonderful days together. Before Irina was born. Before he realized that I was not the one who was really important to him, but his lovely Irina. HIs real daughter. And I… I was a mistake. A baby he thought was his until he decided to keep me from my real family to make the Alpha King suffer for years.My eyes widened a bit.I turned sharply to look at Charlie Wakeham’s face and I saw menace in them. His sharp eyes glared past my face and I knew what he was thinking. There was revenge in his hazel brown eyes. There was death in there. Death for Randalf Ambrose.“It is n
It wasn’t a dream.It was a warning.The very first transformation—my shifting into my werewolf form was excruciating beyond explanation. I felt everything. Every part and detail of it as my muscles grew and my bones increased in size and snapped into place. I kept on repeating that the pain was just all in my head and I had to endure it to save my mate. My body grew larger until I saw everyone, with all their wide eyes on me, watching me with shock. For me, it felt as if the shifting process took forever but in reality, it only took me a minute until I was finally a full-grown she-wolf lunging herself at the woman who fired a bullet at my mate.Everything was a slow motion in my eyes. I kicked Evander away so he could dodge the bullet and I went straight at Cindy, all teeth bared, as I pinned her down to the grassy ground of the garden. I saw the disbelief in her eyes as she trembled underneath me and I saw my reflection in it—a white wolf who was ready to tear her open.“NO!!!” Nora
“I can’t believe this is happening.”There was a huge smile on his face as emotions swam in his eyes. His gaze was never leaving my face—memorizing every inch of it, every detail, and every curve. I touched the side of his face so gently and he closed his eyes slowly, moving his face closer to smell the scent of my skin.“This isn't a dream, right?” I asked again, my eyes glimmering with tears and pure happiness.“No, love. This isn't a dream. This is real. Our reality. And I love how you are so perfect in my arms.” He murmured hoarsely and planted a soft kiss on my forehead, pulling me so gently towards him. “You are now my wife. And you are stuck with me forever.” He purred between my shoulder and neck and then felt his lips there, the tip of his tongue tracing circles that made my heartbeat sound like thunder inside my chest.His wife. I was finally the wife of Evander Edgerton and the Luna of the Blackwood Pack. It felt surreal the more I thought of it. My heart was filled with fe
“We met before?” I asked, smiling but frowning.There was no way I would forget if I ever met a guy so handsome and charismatic as Evander, “If we did, I would know... but I—”He smiled and it reached his wonderful green eyes. I saw that twinkling happiness in him that I seldom saw before and I loved it. He looked so young with that handsome, innocent smile. His golden hair disheveled over his raised brows.“I have a feeling Randalf had something to do with that messed-up memory of yours. You told me before that all you remember is living a life like a prisoner in that man’s household. But I doubt that Randalf could hide everything from you, especially since my father and I used to visit his home a lot. You should have remembered me, even if it was just a vague memory.”“W-What do you mean? That dad—” I swallowed, “I mean, Randalf did something to me to make me forget things?” That sounded terrifying.It’s just a theory, though.” He brushed the strands of hair from my face and tucked
[RANDALF’s Point-of-View]There was no escape for me.Charlie knew. The Alpha King knew that Holly was his daughter. The daughter that he had been looking for decades after the war. The desperation in me wanted me to go to the Alpha King and explain everything to him. That it was never my intention to hide the truth from him. That I didn’t know Holly was his daughter. But what if he finds out I was lying? That I already knew it even before I decided to keep the child to make him suffer? What will happen to me, my pack, and my poor Irina?!My eyes sharpened, adjusting themselves through the dark as I followed the sentinel while we descend the cold, wet stairs down the dungeon where the council of the Blackwood held my daughter prisoner. I had no choice. I had to make a deal with one of them and pay a huge amount of money just to get to the Blackwood territory to see my daughter again. To help her escape and smuggle her out of this place.It was Holly’s fault and her cursed husband! Tha
