Elizabeth POV I slowly turn around, anxious to see who is behind me. “Elder Timothy?” I question as I look at the man who had only hours ago expressed concern that I could not become Luna for the Crescent Moon Pack. What was he doing here? “Elizabeth. I am happy to find you in good health,” he says as he takes a step towards me. I take a step backwards towards where Alpha Kyle is standing. “What are you doing here Elder Timothy?” Kyle asks as he moves to stand slightly in front of me. “Alpha Carter sent me to pick up his mate. He could not leave the Pack as something had come up, so he trusted me with this important task,” he says calmly. I look at him confused. He was adamant I was not good enough to be Carter’s mate. Why was he here wanting to help Carter bring me home? “I am not going back to the Pack,” I say to Elder Timothy quietly. “Now Elizabeth, of course you are coming home. Carter is expecting you,” he replies. I
Alpha Carter POV We raced to the Bliss Moon Pack. I wanted to get my mate back and get things cleared up between us. Her effort to reject me startled me but did not work. I did not accept her rejection, and she would not know that was necessary. My heart is in my throat uncertain what to expect. “That’s odd,” my warrior who is driving murmurs. “What?” I ask on edge. “We just passed three SUVs going in the opposite direction as us,” he says as he looks in his rear-view mirror. “Maybe something came up, that Kyle needed to tend to,” I say distracted by what was ahead of me. We arrived at the territory gates and were advised to wait a minute. I was confused and stepped out of the SUV, with Stan and the two warriors in front jumping out prepared to protect me. I sigh, “What the hell is going on? I am here at the invitation of the Alpha and the Beta,” I say angrily. “They are both on their way here,” he replies to my confusion. Had
Alpha Carter POV “There they are, Alpha,” the warrior advises me. He is barreling towards them, as I watch eager to get to my mate. Stan cautions me, “We do not know anything more than Timothy has her. We have to be smart about this.”. “I have every right to kill Timothy,” I snarl at him. “Agreed. We have to be careful that he does not kill Elizabeth, before we can rescue her,” he reminds me. He is right. It would not take much to kill her before I could get her out of the vehicle. “When you get close enough ram the vehicle off the road,” I say to the warrior. “Wait! The middle vehicle will likely have her in it,” Stan says to me. “What if she is not?” I question him concerned we will let the wrong vehicle get away. Stan is mind-linking the other drivers, “Let them go ahead of us and take the first vehicle out,” he says as one of the vehicles quickly passes us. He slams into them taking them out and swerving before righting hi
Alpha Carter POV As I backed out of the SUV carefully, I mind-linked Stan to have something to cover Elizabeth with when I exited. I was cautious not wanting to hurt her any more than she had already been. I could see her body had been beaten at some point and those were not wounds from the accident.She had not said a word since I had her in my arms. Her body was tense and full of fear. I whispered words of encouragement and promises of protection to her as we worked our way out of the vehicle. As expected, Stan was standing there with a blanket, he had retrieved from one of our SUV’s. I took it and wrapped Elizabeth in it before I stood with her held tightly in my arms. I heard the whimpering of Alpha Matt off to the side. He was curled into a ball on the ground. I slowly walked over to him and put my booted foot on his neck. He looked up shrieking in fear, “You cannot kill me,” he says as his face rolls from fear to laughter. “You cannot
Elizabeth POV I cannot believe the words Carter shared with me. He had fixed everything. He had banished Margie from the Pack. Elder Timothy was dead. Alpha Matt was going to our dungeons. Did that mean for once I was safe? That I could let my guard down and simply enjoy my life? Would Carter mark me now? I wanted to ask him, but the time was not right. Sitting with just a blanket around my naked, marked up and dirty body, I wanted to be clean. I needed a shower. And I wanted privacy with Carter to ask that question. Not that Stan was particularly listening, but it was a conversation to be had alone. I giggled as Carter nuzzled into my neck, breathing in my scent. I loved being able to be close to him. I was sorry I had left the way I did. All of this could have been avoided. Hearing a yawn, “I told you so,” I hear in my mind. “You are real?” I ask afraid to believe she was still there. “I am real, and I am back baby,” As
Elizabeth POV I sat in Carter’s arms for a while longer, before starting to rise. There had been chatter all around me about what a silver wolf could do, what it meant for the Pack, the upcoming trial in a couple days … it was all overwhelming. I just wanted to be alone to process what was happening. “Just breathe,” Ashley says in my mind. “What do you need, love?” Carter asks. “I just need to go to the washroom,” I reply as he helps me up. “Do you need any help?” he asks sincerely. Shaking my head, “No, I am fine,” I say as I move across the room to our bedroom. I move into the walk-in closet and get some clothes that I can put on after my shower. Stepping into the washroom, I turn the shower on. I drop the blanket from my shoulders and look in the mirror. I can see the bruise on the side of my head where the Alpha had kicked me. I can see the bruises covering my broken ribs. I am healing faster than I have in the past, and I know I have
Alpha Carter POV “What? No, I cannot have you there, Elizabeth,” I reply to her. I will use tactics to get the Alpha to speak. Tactics I never want her to see or believe me capable of. “I need to know what he knows,” Elizabeth responds. “He is threatening my life, my happiness; I want to hear firsthand what he has to say,” she says calmly and clearly. This is the first time I have seen her so focused on something. I suspect Ashley’s presence has something to do with it. I suspect Ashley knows more than she has shared with us. I believe anything that happened was to protect Elizabeth. I just hope it is not something that will cause the Council to pause about assigning justice to Alpha Matt. I quickly shower and follow Elizabeth into our bedroom to get dressed. She is putting on black skinny jeans, with a tank top and a leather jacket over it. I know she is using her clothes to provide a barrier against the Alpha and the dungeon. She had be
Elizabeth POV I had been trying to get answers from Ashley since Alpha Matt had threatened us that she knew what he was talking about. She went radio silent. She has not spoken to me since, nor has she spoken with Max, Carter’s wolf. I had no idea what she knew, and it terrified me. Terrified me wondering what could be awaiting us at this hearing. My hands were shaking until I felt Carter taken them into his hands. “We will get through all of this,” he promises me as he pulls me into his arms. We are back in our suite, just the two of us. “What if they take me away from you?” I ask him. He shakes his head, “Over my dead body, sweetheart,” he replies. “Do not even joke about that Carter. Whatever happens you have to promise me you will maintain your composure,” I say to him. He looks at me, “Sweetheart, you are going to tell the truth, Alpha Matt will be punished, and then you are coming home with me; that I promise you,” he says. I hope he

Good day Everyone I wanted to share a quick update. I am working on the draft for Eric's story and expect to start it the week of May 6, 2024. I hope you will be as excited as I am to write the story. His will have a couple interesting twists but suffice to say he will find his mate. The question ... will he accept her :) After that we will see where we go but I do want to write the stories for the pups after they are grown. Any feedback is always welcome. Let me know if you are excited to read the story or follow me on my socials to get updates. Ellie xo
Elizabeth’s POV The past six months had been a rush of emotions. Watching CJ grow was unbelievable. He was growing fast already walking. He was ahead of the normal schedule of children, but we have realized our boy was special beyond what we could even fathom at this point. We loved him and would keep him a child as long as we could. Stan and Kinsley had a beautiful little girl. She was two months old. CJ loved little Leslie from the moment he saw her. He always went to see her before anyone else got a chance to say hello to her. He always touched her face softly giving her little kisses. We all joked wouldn’t it be cute if they were mates when they grew up. Eric had not found his mate yet. He had just returned home from a two-month search but with no luck. He was still hopeful, but I could tell he was somewhat disappointed that his search had not yielded him success yet. I kept encouraging him as best I could even to the point of suggest
Elizabeth POV I had been in labour for a while now. I had started pushing an hour ago. I knew I was having a big baby boy, but I do not think anything prepared me for this. Ashley was throwing all her strength into me. I was getting exhausted and angry. Carter was both amazing and annoying at the same time. His words of encouragement were endearing, but I really wanted to punch him in the nuts so he would have a sense of how ridiculous his words really were. The past few months had been a whirlwind. I had survived the two weeks of bed rest. My mother had brought me a lot of things to work on during that time. And I was healthy and given the nod to go back to regular activities with normal precautions. Before I knew it the time had flown by and here, I was birthing my first pup. The rate I was going this could be my last one. “One more push, my Queen,” the doctor says encouragingly. I take a deep breath and push with all my might. With th
Carter POV I gently pick Elizabeth up in my arms. “Elizabeth,” I repeat but she does not respond. There are snarls and cries of pain as I turn to see what is happening. The two sisters are fighting. The warriors are standing by ready to jump in to assist the former Queen. But all respect her need to fight her sister for all that she stole from her. I watch helplessly as I see Elizabeth’s mother toss her sister in the air. As she comes down her mother reaches for her aunt and slams her into the ground. All you could hear was a yelp and the crushing of bones. “How dare you ever think you had a right to destroy my life! How dare you steal a child from her parents! How dare you steal so much from my mate! You deserve so much more but it is time for you to die!” the former Queen yells. Her sister is begging for her life, but the former Queen will hear nothing of it. She moves forward and places her sister’s head in her hands. She starts twist
Elizabeth POV “You!” I scream. I am staring in shock at the person in front of me. “Where did you come from?” I demand as I move to cover Carter’s body. He was defenceless and I would not sit back while someone attacked us. “Surprised to see me?” the person asks. “I am surprised you are still alive,” I say as I move into position in the event they attacked. Moving towards me, “But daughter dearest, I have missed you,” she replies. “You are not my mother,” I spit at her. “My someone is feisty,” she says with a smirk. “Who knew you had it in you?” she asks. “You knew all along,” I say to her. “What kind of sick monster does what you did?” I ask her. “I would like to know that myself,” a voice from behind me says. I turn to see my mother and a group of warriors behind me. I turn around and smirk at the woman in front of me who has managed to get closer to me. “The kind of woman who was sick of her sister getting everything she wanted,” my a
Elizabeth POV The last two weeks had been a blur. We had an amazing feast the night of our coronation, and then we were in the whirlwind of handing over responsibilities for the Kingdom. Carter and I were both sitting in my office on the couch that I had brought in. I had my feet in Carter’s lap as he rubbed them. “Mmmm that feels good,” I murmur as my eyes half close. We had just finished another gruelling day of learning and needed a few minutes to ourselves before we went to supper with those who lived in the Palace. We had started that last week. Carter missed having meals with his Pack, so we started that tradition. Those living within the Palace loved the idea and had embraced being a part of a bigger family. It did not mean everyone joined every night, but it gave people options. The cooking team loved it as well. They got to serve people more than just waiting for a special event. Carter starts to massage up my calve m
Alpha Carter POV “I am back!” I hear in my mind. “Max?” I ask tentatively through our mind-link. “It is me,” he replies excitedly. “I am so grateful to have you back,” I reply. “Me too. Wherever I was it was a very dark and lonely place,” he shares with me. I want to hear exactly what he remembers happening but the Elder in front of me clears his throat. “May we continue Alpha?” he asks. I nod telling Max I want all the details. Knowing we were in the middle of a ceremony and his mate was beside him was enough to settle him. Having completed the transfer of blood, I take Elizabeth’s hand in mine and give it a squeeze. She smiles excitedly, knowing Max was back. The third Elder comes forward. “And now we will do the transfer of the crowns signifying the future,” he says as the King and Queen move forward. Each kneel before the Elder and their crowns are removed for the last time. Both are holding hands as the removal takes place. You c
Alpha Carter POV As Elizabeth and I walked up the aisle, I could not help but become a little nostalgic. Thinking about where we had been to where we are now. Having overcome so many hurdles. So many things that seemed against us being together. But here we were … about to become Queen and King of the Kingdom. I had never aspired to become King. It had never been something I had remotely considered. Having met with the current King this week and learned more about what he did and the opportunities I would have to make a difference in the wolf community excited me. And now I felt like a fool for fighting so hard against it. I could feel Elizabeth’s small hand on my arm as we walked up the aisle following her parents. I could feel the stares and the excitement in the room for the future. For the next generation to take over. What I felt stressed about was my inability to shift tonight. The people present knew of my injury and were advised as
