Alpha Ramsey’s POVIt’s been few days after the incident in the court and no one dared to say a word about it, the beta knew better than to bring the issues up. I couldn’t believe one of my council members can do such a thing. We are suppose to build the pack but due to some selfish interests some people decides it’s better to betray the pack. I sigh and dropped the book I was holding when I heard a knock on my door, I wasn’t expecting anyone to come over. I opened the door and I was shocked to see beta Richard standing before me. I furrowed my brows while he bow. “I’m sorry for disturbing you alpha, we have something to talk about”he said and I gave him a skeptical look, I don’t think we have anything to talk about. I cleared my throat and made more room for him to enter inside my chamber. “What do you want to talk about?”I asked when he stepped inside my chamber, I saw his eyes dart around before it settled on me. “It’s about the pack alpha Ramsey”he said and I arched my brows a
Vera’s POV Words traveled around the pack, the maids and guards were whispering how Alpha Ramsey and Astra were busy talking and strolling around the pack. My heart fumed with anger and I couldn’t believe Alpha Ramsey still fantasized about her. After everything that happened, I thought Luna Eleanor said Astra will have no choice but to leave the pack but it seems she’s not ready to go anywhere and she is gradually winning the heart of alpha Ramsey which I can’t sit by and let happen. I suddenly heard a knock on my door and I stepped over to get the door immediately, I noticed Luna Eleanor standing before me “Luna Eleanor” I said and bow my head immediately “I wasn’t expecting you in my chambers” I said and she curtly nodded“I heard whispers around the walls, Alpha Ramsey is with Astra and I definitely don’t want to see them bond,” she said and I furrowed my brows immediately, anger coursing through me. “I will get to the bottom of this don’t worry,” I said and Luna Eleanor nodde
Astra’s POV The cloud was moody today and it felt like the rain was about to fall, I sighed for the hundredth time and moved away from my window slumping on the bed, my heart was as cloudy as the sky because several thoughts were running through my heart at once, I don’t know what to do and I don’t know how I will go about it. Sometimes I feel like acknowledging the mate bond between me and alpha Ramsey but whenever I think about that, I also remember the betrayal I went through with alpha Noah. Never in my heart did I ever think that he will betray me but he did. Alpha Noah was the sweetest man I know when I was with him, I thought he was never going to betray me but it seems I was ahead of myself, probably thinking everything revolves around me. I groan and look at my ceiling, my heart in despair of what to do. I know Alpha Ramsey and Alpha Noah are two different people but I couldn’t help and think Alpha Ramsey will betray me like Alpha Noah did, not when his mother is strongly
Alpha Noah’s POV“That’s all for the implantation project,” I said handing over the file I have sighed to one of the gammas in the pack, he bow his head collecting the file from me and walked out of my office. I relaxed on my seat when he was out and I squeeze my eyes shut, I don’t know what is wrong with me lately and it feels like I am empty deep inside of me. Life hasn’t been so colorful as it used to be and I am tired and scared of the dreams I have lately. I dreamt of Astra and her beautiful smile. It felt like my brain was reminding me of the things I have missed for a while now. The thought alone left my heart aching and as much as I try to ignore the aching of my heart it only gets worst, it felt like the mate bond wasn’t completely broken and it had left me to suffer. I thought about that day I had rejected her and thought about how things could have gone in a different way, we would have been together now and probably in my office distracting me from doing my duties. I s
Kylie's POV I was restless, I don't know what to do after everything that maid told me, Alpha Noah can't slip out of my hand after everything I have done to have him. He means the whole world to me, he is my lover and I am not ready to share him with anybody. I don't even want him to think about anyone. I have had restless nights about this and a dark circle have started forming around my eyes, the doctor had said it's bad for my pregnancy but I don't mind, I don't care about that, all I want is alpha Noah. I stood up from my bed, my body aching after spending almost the whole day in my room, I walked towards the window and saw the sun cascading down its horizon, leaving a hue of orange and red glow across the earth, my mind was foggy and I feel empty. Alpha Noah hasn't checked up on me for those days too, neither did he ask about the pregnancy, I gulp down the growing lumps in my throat and I know I wouldn't be able to get him if I stay in my room forever. I quickly dash to my wa
Astra’s POVThe moonlight cast a soft glow in my bedroom, lighting up the walls with an ethereal light. The shadows on the walls danced in the breeze, like ghosts of memories past. The sound of the crickets outside my window filled the room, a constant and soothing background noise. I could smell the night air, heavy with the scent of blooming flowers and fresh dew. I felt the softness of my bed under me, a comforting and familiar sensation.As I played with the lamp switch, flicking it on and off, I pondered my next move. I had just moved to a new town, starting a new life. Everything was different, and I felt like I was in a state of limbo. I wondered what my next steps should be, and how I could make this new place feel more like home. I was restless, unable to find peace.The idea of being with Alpha Ramsey was both alluring and daunting. On the one hand, he was charming and witty, with a smile that could light up a room. On the other hand, he was mysterious and unpredictable, a m
Astra’s POVThe pack was buzzing with people from the pack and nearby packs, it was finally the day for the ball Alpha Ramsey had been spending so much of his time setting up. I stood in from of the mirror in my room looking at the ball gown I have designed for myself. Zoe was standing next to me and her eyes were lit up as she look at the beautiful gown that endowed my beauty. “This looks so exceptional on you, you have a great taste I must say lady Astra,” Zoe said and I chuckled tilting my head to look at her “You are forgetting that you choose this design Zoe, the compliment is meant for you not for me” I replied and she chuckled “Well you sew the dress and add more touch of glamour to it, the compliment can’t be mine alone, sit down and let me help you with your makeup,” she said and I nodded sitting down on the chair close to my dressing table. Zoe pull out the makeup box she has stressed herself to get for me, she pull out different things and started applying them on my fa
Alpha Ramsey’s POV I clenched my hands angrily as I look at the dead body laying on the floor before me, who could have done this and this could lead to provocation of war between the two packs? I tilted my head and look at everyone in the ball, they all look scared and I wasn’t sure who could have done this, “I said who did this!”I roar again and most people whimpered. There were murmurs between the people and I am sure they weren’t expecting this too. “What happened?”I heard my mother ask and I tilted my head to look at her, she gasped when she saw the dead body on the floor, her eyes darted around before it fell on me. I had invited everyone across the pack to come for the party and Alpha Noah send one of his trusted men to the pack which was good because I didn’t want him to meet Astra also I can’t extend my invitation to everyone in the other packs without inviting him“Excuse me alpha,” a guard said and I tilted my head to look at the guard “What is it?”I asked, my eyes bur
Ramsey's POVSix months later...."Ramsey, the contractions are getting harder!"My head shot up at the sound of Astra's voice. I turned back to see her sprawled on the bed: legs wide, face full of fear, and my own heart jumped in fright.I turned back to Colin. "Find the pack's physician, stat!" I ordered. "Tell him the Luna's contractions have started.""On it." Colin replied, then gave me a short bow and turned to leave the room.I turned and crossed the room to my luna in two quick strides. I slipped to my knees, crouching before the bed and gripping her hand tight."You'll be fine," I whispered in reassurance. "Remember our breathing lessons....""Oh, Ramsey!" Astra wailed as tears slipped down her cheeks. Her fingers gripped mine, as I pushed all my strength and resilience into her.I stayed with Astra until Colin burst into the room again, followed by the pack's physician and a few frantic wolf nurses. "Step aside, Alpha!" The physician called out, pushing past me to crouch be
At that point, I had absolutely no doubt that this woman absolutely hated me.I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of unease as she walked towards the stand meant for the accused, her head regal and her eyes full of a sense of pride.She paused halfway to the stand, and her eyes fell on her son. "You are an absolute disgrace to me, the royal family and this entire pack!" She spat."Move on, mother!" Ramsey snapped, and she continued walking.Ramsey remained standing at the head of the courtroom, his gaze locked onto his mother with a mix of anger, disappointment, and sorrow. The air in the room felt heavy with the weight of the accusation, and I couldn't imagine the turmoil he must be feeling, torn between his loyalty to his pack and his blood ties to his mother."Let the trial begin!" Ramsey declared, his voice firm, as his eyes roamed around the room.The Council of Wolves, along with the gathered pack members, watched with bated breath as the trial commenced. Lady Eleanor stoo
Astra's POVThe dining hall seemed to close in around us as Ramsey jumped into action, his protective instincts in full force. I watched as the maid promptly went to her knees, pure fear on every inch of her pale face.My heart beat with fear and disgust at the maid's behaviour. Fear about the fact that someone, somewhere wanted me dead, and disgust at the homicidal behaviour of the young maid. I could not imagine that someone who had served me a plate of food could actually attempt to have me killed.I stared down at the plate of food before me—the lamb chops of death. A sudden wave of anger came over me as I glanced up at the maid again, and I swore right there and then to end whoever had tried to have me killed.The maid was practically trembling now, drop after drop of tears falling from her eyes. "Please...." She whispered. "Alpha, please show mercy!""You do not deserve mercy!" Noah snarled, the bridge of his nose crinkling with barely-concealed anger. I watched, my heart still
Astra's POVI was alone in my room, the moonlight streaming in through the windows, casting a soft glow on the walls. My hands gently cradled my swollen belly, the life within me kicking and squirming as if in response to the turmoil that had enveloped me.The silence of the night was broken only by the soft rustling of leaves outside, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to drift into the memories of happier times, when the weight of secrets and betrayal had not yet burdened our hearts.For some reason, my thoughts drifted to Noah. I sighed as I stared out of the window of my room, my eyes darting across the moonlit courtyard. Noah had been absent from my thoughts for a long time: I wondered why I would suddenly think about him now. My heart had healed since he banished me from the pack, and Ramsey had mended the pieces, filling my life with love and happiness. Ramsey was the one who truly mattered now.So why was I still thinking about Noah?I shook my head, relentlessly trying
Noah's POVMy actions were purely driven by anger and hurt, and it had led to a brutal end. I had taken a life, and there was no turning back.But slowly, I felt all my guilt ebb out of me. All I was left with was sadness and a brutal, heavy emptiness.The garden lay in ruins around me, a reflection of the turmoil within my heart. I knew I had to confront Kylie, to face the woman who had hidden such a devastating secret from me. My steps were heavy as I turned to the carriage drive that was waiting for me at the end of the garden. "Alpha...." He stuttered as I walked towards him. I could see concern and a glaring fear in his eyes. Whether he was scared of me or scared of something else, I had absolutely no idea.When I didn't say anything in response, he continued. "What should I do about the.....the body?"I waved a dismissive hand. "Do away with it, somehow.....""Alright." He nodded, then turned and walked ti the carriage. He opened the door and held it open for me.In silence, I
Noah's POVMy world seemed to shatter around my ears at Kenneth's revelation. The words hung in the air like a death sentence, a heavy weight that crushed my chest, stealing the breath from my lungs. I released my grip on Kenneth, stumbling back in shock, my heart pounding in my ears."What... what did you just say?" I stammered, my voice trembling with disbelief.Kenneth straightened his clothing, a smug satisfaction still dancing in his eyes. "You heard me right, Alpha. That child is mine.""Liar!" I screamed, shaking my head in denial. "You are a crazy, pathetic liar!"Kenneth grinned again, as though he was relishing my anguish. "You want it to be a lie. Deep down, you want to paint me as this crazy lunatic who lies his way through every tight situation. But think about it, Alpha. Think."I cast my mind back, trying to think about the circumstances of Kylie's pregnancy. Kenneth continued. "Has that pregnancy ever felt like yours for even one second? Have you ever felt any real con
Noah's POVAs I watched Kylie leave the room, a growing sense of unease settled over me like a heavy cloud. When she got to the door, she turned as though she was about to say something else. But I knew, deep down, that whatever she said would be far from allaying the fears inside of me.Her words had been convincing, but something in her eyes had hinted at a deeper truth, something she was keeping from me. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.The scars from my previous heartbreak still lingered, and I couldn't bear the thought of being hurt by a loved one once again. My soul and my mental health had barely healed from the scars left from the whole issue with Astra.I wanted peace, but it seemed as though the harder I tried, the farther it was from me.A small part of me wanted to dig deeper, to uncover the truth behind that strange man, but another part of me dreaded what I might find. What if his name wasn't really Julian? What if Kyl
.Kylie's POVOh, Goddess!The silence that fell at that moment felt so strong, almost tangible. I could feel it pressing against me, could feel the shock and curiosity moving from Noah in palpable waves.Noah's eyes moved to Kenneth, then back to me, then to Kenneth again. "Who is this man, Kylie?" He asked, his eyes never leaving Kenneth's face.My heart pounded in my chest as I turned to face him, my mind racing for an explanation. Noah's eyes darted between Kenneth and me, suspicion etched across his features. I had to tread carefully, to ensure that the carefully constructed facade I had built didn't crumble before my eyes. The consequences of this encounter could be disastrous, not just for me but for the entire pack.Any little wrong word, and I could as well be placing my own head on the chopping block myself.Kenneth chose that moment to strut forward, his shoulders raised. There was a mocking smirk on his face as he bowed low. "Alpha Noah," he greeted, his voice laced with
Kylie's POVWhen Noah was done, I felt him pull away, a sigh slipping from his lips. I lay against the cold, hard surface of the table for long seconds, as the memories of our steamy sex lingered in my mind."Are you ever going to stand from that desk?" Noah spoke up finally, breaking the silence. "Or have I completely immobilized you with our...ah, act?"I smiled, betraying the raging emotions I felt within me. "No, Noah. I am fine. I'm just taking a moment here."I felt, rather than heard him pause. "Alright...."The room seemed to hold its breath as I listened to the soft rustle of fabric, knowing that Noah was dressing behind me. Every passing second only intensified the strange mixture of emotions swirling within me.This was happiness, I thought. This was what it felt like to own Noah, to finally have him to myself.After what felt like an eternity, I finally stood up. I turned to face Noah, who was now fully dressed. There was a poignant silence between us, a moment when words
