~Xyana~

The constant low beeping of the monitor is the first thing I hear when I open my eyes. I jerk up, finding a familiar figure holding his hand out to me.

“Xyana," he offers a bright smile. "It's great to have you join us. You remember me, don't you?"

I nod. I do remember him. He's the same Doctor who took care of me when I first arrived in the pack.

I clear my throat, my voice sounding raspy when I speak. “What happened to me, where am I?”

“You are in the hospital. Your mate brought you in because we thought it best to have you here in case you needed more intensive care." He explains with a smile. "Apparently, you had a wrist injury, and your Wolf wasn’t having such a good day either. So... we've done a few checks. If it's okay, I would call in the Alpha.”

I nod, "please, do."

He goes to open the door that is hidden by a wall curtain. Once Alpha Gaston steps in, I'm instantly overwhelmed by his scent. This is something I've never experienced before.

    ~Xyana~He steps out of the room and returns with Dion and Declan. Dion was quick to sit beside me, squeezing my arms gently and bathing me with forehead kisses.Declan knelt beside me, letting out a deep sigh of relief. My gaze goes to the door as I wait to see Clifton. After a few seconds of waiting, he finally shows his face. He looks tired and dejected."She can now feel her bond," Gaston announced. "For all her mates." His last sentence brought a sort of relief to Declan and Dion but not to Clifton who remained standing at the door."Is this true, Xy-Sunshine?" Dion asks, and I nod. "But my wolf, I don't think she's there yet. I..." My voice broke off when I turned to Clifton. I told him a little about Juno and me, and it's only a matter of time until he'll want to know more."I'm glad you're fine. You should get some rest." Clifton says and turns to leave the room."Xyana will be moving to one of the rooms on my floor once she gets back home. She needs lots of rest and healthy

    ~Clifton~"You must be really mad at Gass to talk shitty to him," Callum says to me, with a disapproving head-shake.I sigh and shut my eyes briefly. Everybody seems to be against me. The Moon-Goddess, my mate, my brothers, and now the fucking witch, Rhen. She is supposed to be the reliable one among all of them.I've dreamt about my mate for the longest time. Her soft voice and her love always surrounded me. I may have become so obsessed with my thoughts of her that the first time I got a vision about who and what she looked like, I went over to Rhen immediately to have our souls bound together.If my brothers know this, maybe they will all come together to stab me to death. But in my defense, I had no idea the Moon Goddess was planning such a surprise for us. What happened to giving me my own mate and maybe pairing Dion and Declan together if she desperately wants to? Declan is the good-looking leader of the pack Warriors who is known for being calm and precise even in chaos. Dio

    ~Clifton~ Once Callum leaves for his pack, I relax into my seat and shut my eyes, trying to understand at what point any of this went wrong. The Moon Goddess... she made it all wrong. Yes, it's all her fault. I haven't done anything wrong if I chose to look at it from a mate's point of view. Xyana is my mate. A Blood-bite isn't a prohibited practice. Of course, I should have sought her consent before imposing it on her, but the truth remains that she's my mate! That alone cancels all wrongs, right? I hear the loud sound of a door going off somewhere within the pack house. The sound is followed by loud barking of orders. That must be Gaston. 'I wonder what found its way into his ass to get him pissed off this much.' I'm convinced he knows I'm around, my scent should have given me away by now. I don't get to wait for long when the door to the living room gets pulled out. Gaston steps into the room, scanning it carefully before walking up to me. As he's approaching, I fe

    ~Xyana~As I'm carried through the living room by Dion, I grab the opportunity to look into the other rooms that I've never paid attention to before now. “I think you're spoiling me too much Dion. I only had a minor wrist injury. I didn't lose a body part." I chuckle as he carries me to my new room, which has already been set up, and cuddles me into the blankets of my bed.“If I have my way, I won't let you lift a thing, Sunshine." He kisses me. "You need all the rest, Xy, plenty of it. Doctor's prescription and I'm only following his instructions." He says sweetly, as he rearranges my pillows.He plants a kiss on my forehead and I thank him with a smile and a kiss on his right cheek. He smiles, touching his cheeks.Declan had been summoned hurriedly by Alpha Gaston once we stepped into the pack and Dion told them he'll join them later. So, I know he has somewhere to be.“Can I get you something else?” He asks, and I shake my head. "I could get you water, some juice, chocolate bars,

    ~Alpha Kedar~--•BLACK-HAW PACK•--I've only managed to go through three pages of the latest financial report of the pack when I overhear a little commotion outside my office.A lot has happened over the past few days. The pack's food supply isn't as great as it used to be. The internet is shitty, and Adolf, the engineer, has no idea how to sort it out aside from opting for an upgrade which he said was last done by Xyana Hamilton with the funds she generates from growing and selling various hybrid plants at the clan market.'Xyana Hamilton, the fat-shapless girl?' Who would have guessed she could be more useful to the pack aside from scrubbing floors? Ignoring the noise outside my office, I stare at the sheets in front of me. Everything is falling apart. With the raging war, we shouldn't be battling with any sort of food insecurity. I push the palms of my hands against my eyes and try to stem the pounding in my head. "Shit," I mumble. I haven

    ~Alpha Kedar~Still, the little voice in my head keeps saying;  'Even if you didn't like her, you shouldn't have humiliated her the way you did.'The girl is nothing like my type of woman; she's not just shapeless and ugly, she's one of the pack's charity cases. Also, I'm not one to stay faithful and caged by one woman.If anything, I did her a favor. She won't get to spend the rest of her life with a mate that detests her very existence. Still, if there's some truth in what Grandpa Salzar is saying about my pack members, then I'm in a lot of shit. My late father once shared the idea of building a shelter for orphaned she-wolves, telling me how much respect and trust an Alpha will gain from his pack if he does something that honorable.So I built a shelter when he passed and it worked. Just as he predicted, I gained the trust, respect, and loyalty of the entire pack. Even the pack members who weren't in support of me becoming the Alpha finally accepted me.

    ~Xyana~When I wake up the next morning, I feel well-rested. I found myself tucked in under a thick velvet blanket, and the window blinds closed even though I could see from the sides that it was morning already.Yawning lazily, I tap my fingers on my blanket and wonder if the fact that I feel well-rested has anything to do with the tea Adina gave me last night.What time is it anyway? I really need to sit up henceforth. If I'm going to lead my mates on, until I get an escape opportunity, then I need them to think that I've accepted them as much as they've accepted me and I'm willing to work very hard to be deserving of my position as the Beta, Gamma and Warrior female of the pack.I smile to myself as I think back to Gaston's words to me back at the hospital; 'nothing is more important than you.' And now, I'm even more determined to prove my worth to his pack so that I can feel truly deserving of his words. Even if it'll only be temporary.I want his pack members to see that I’m tryi

    ~Xyana~My body leans closer to his touch like I can't get enough. I stare at him, stunned and maybe charmed by the unusual closeness and reverence. I path my lips to speak, but he stops me. "Shh," He whispers in my ear. I inhale his scent, gulping it down like it was the most beautiful thing I've ever known. He teases a smile... A very beautiful smile. His fingers find my fat thighs under the blanket and I swallow thick saliva, spreading my legs open for him on impulse."Fuck," he cusses once his fingers move up my thigh. With his second finger, he pushes the blanket aside, and first, his gaze scores down my bare flesh.I push my arms over my half-exposed body, regretting that I allowed him to see me this way. He'll see my overlapping-jiggly skin, my big stomach, my oversized breasts and thighs. I waited for the insults, but they never came. Instead, he shocks me with his next choice of words."Goddess, you're a dream. You're my dream and everything I've ever wanted." He gently tug

    ~Gaston~ I spent the entire night asking myself if I am insane. What have I done? It's a fact that I'm lusting after my brothers' mate but what I did last night is pure madness from my end. I had watched her leave the pack yesterday in the company of Claret and I was still up when she got back. I can't go to sleep, not without being sure of her safety. I had to text Claret at some point, and she confirmed they were fine and were heading back home. I shouldn't be as bothered as I was yesterday. Claret can take care of Xyana in all aspects. She's a strong she-wolf who I trust so much that I put Xyana in her care. It isn't just about the sports center. The Ardbrys have proven themselves over and over again to my family. Her brother Gideon is my step-in Beta on days Clifton isn't around to help. And he personally trained Claret in combat. Yet I stayed up all day until Xyana came home. When I caught sight of her through my office wi

    ~Xyana~ "Are you alright, Xyana?" Gaston repeats his question; his voice laced with worry and strangeness. "Mhmm," I nod, wishing he would just go away so that I can peacefully continue to my room. "You don't look okay." He insists, taking a step towards me. "Gaston, I'm... I'm... fi...ne." I tell him, my voice a bit unsteady and my words, not so coherent. Gaston is now close to me and he's staring at me, his gaze darkening as if he's mad at me or someone. When he stares a little longer and our gaze finally meets, his expression morphs, losing its worried traits. "Xyana," he calls again, my name rolling off his tongue like it's a euphoric drug. "Did he hurt you?" He didn't have to mention a name; we both knew who he was talking about. "No," I manage to let out. "Did you guys fight?" "Not really," I replied, clearing my throat so as to sound less husky. Then I bite my bottom

    ~Xyana~ Tranquility is not enough word to describe what I'm feeling streaming through me as Clifton moves his hands up to hold my face while he returns my kiss. I moan against his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck, and he moves his hands to the back of my head and down my body. He lifts me up and slams me against the wall of his room, beating out the little air I had still left in my lungs, his hands resting on my ass. His muscular abs presses against my body, making it impossible for me to think straight. I let him devour me, enjoying every second of it. He breaks the kiss to move his lips along my jawline and further down to my neck. I claw down onto his shoulders, throwing my head back against the wall, my heart beating so fast, risking suffocation. Suddenly, a warm sensation of surrender streams through me and I knew instantly that it's all coming from Clifton. I can feel his emotions and he's already surrende

    ~Xyana~ Overwhelmed by Clifton's sudden closeness, I jump out of my seat and take a step back. Still, he takes a step closer to me. Looking back up at him defiantly, I take another step back. I almost break into a panic, but he smiles and shakes his head. "You don't have to be scared, Baby. I won't hurt you physically." "But your wolf will." I voice out before I can stop myself. "He would never hurt you." He says tenderly, closing the gap between us. He wants you more than anything. I'm afraid he wants you too much that if I stay around as much as I want to, he might damn the consequences and mark you, even though he shouldn't just yet." He finally eases away from me and goes back to take his seat with a sigh. In his absence, I regain my equilibrium and slowly walk back to my seat. "Tell me what you want, Baby." He says, focusing his gaze on me. "Why is everyone worried about your Wolf, Clifton?" That is at least the t

    ~Xyana~ When we were done shopping, the trunk of our car wasn't enough to contain the shopping bags, so we had to move the ones I got for Mona to the back seat of the car. Once we get down from the car and the guards around the garage see the contents of the trunk, a couple of them get into action by helping out with moving them upstairs to my room. Mona is in a hurry to get back home after receiving a phone call from her brother. So I told one of the guards to take her home, and he did! 'Trying out my power as the Beta female.’ Oh wow! It is so late. We were even the last people to leave the 'Cleave Boutique' in the town center. I had no doubt they stayed open way past their closing time. But they had lots of fine stuff that it was so hard to actually choose. I made Mona get lots of nice stuff for herself, and she was super excited and appreciative. We bought a couple of outfits that we plan on twinning together wh

    ~Xyana~ Our car stops at a nice restaurant a moment later. "Wow!" I let out a breath when I see the beautiful building the restaurant is housed in. Gurreo-Valley is such a beautiful place and maybe the Alpha has a rule in place that prevents store owners from erecting shabby shop buildings because that might be the only reason I haven't seen the type of shops we have back at Black-haw pack. "Aren't there smaller-looking shops here in Gurreo-Valley?" I ask Mona. "Of course there are." She points to very beautiful shops in front. But that's not what I mean by small. "I mean, shops opened in old-looking buildings?" She shakes her head. "The Alpha makes sure the buildings are up to the architectural plan of the pack and he renovates them every five years. Might be lesser at times. Even smaller roadside stalls are regulated to pass certain set rules." "I've noticed," I reply, nodding my understanding.

    ~Xyana~ Mona comes to pick me up just as she promised. Today is my day off and I'm practically in the mood for all the mischief she has planned out for us. We head over to the garage that houses Dion's car and we take one of his cars, with Mona behind the wheels since I can't drive. I didn't go down for breakfast in the morning because I wasn't sure I had to strength to face Clifton or any of the Howling brothers at that. Oona would have made the atmosphere less awkward. But since she started her term paper, she left for school much earlier. So she eats before any of us. And with her schedule after school well planned by her nanny, I wasn't sure it was a good thing to disrupt any of that. At least until her papers are over. Since I have my own worries to take care of anyway. While Mona is driving us to the town center, I spot Declan walking down to the pack house, his body glistering under the scorching sun. "I need to

    ~Xyana~ I did have the feeling that something was off about Clifton early enough. Especially from the day he overheard Juno in my head. It had been obvious but I just didn't want to think about it. Maybe that was stupid of me. After my heart-to-heart moment with Dion, my understanding of what I might be up against in respect to Clifton's Wolf became a bit clearer. Dion spent more time soothing me and reassuring me that he was never going to leave me. Maybe Juno said the truth, I'm just a bloody attention-seeker. I've been starved of attention that I'm willing to clutch to these men so hard. Goddess! If they reject me, I'll be alone with absolutely no one in my corner. When Dion got a mind-link from someone, I didn't need to be told that it was time to go back out there and face my reality. He held me in a hug for a very long time and kissed me over and over again before he finally let me go. My heart is so heavy when

    ~Xyana~"D, please." I plead in a whisper and watch Dion cave in."It's Amon, Clif 's wolf." He replies. "We are all worried about him. You see, Amon is special. He's powerful, a protector, a lover of family, and now you are his family. The truth is we're worried about the fact that you have three of us as your Mates. Amon is possessive. So, he might not be able to handle the multiple-mate situation very well. We saw it the other day in Declan's room. Worst still, Clifton's character doesn't help the situation at all." He takes a deep breath before he goes on. "We think Clif has to speak to you first and explain to you how special Amon is, and maybe if you accept him and he does the same, the rest of us can join in. So we're just waiting for Clif to get it going for all of us."I swallow hard as everything he says doesn't really make sense to me. "What do you mean when you said Clifton's Wolf is 'special'?" I ask, feeling more and more worried. "What is going on, Dion?".He shakes hi
