Elizabeth POV After a fitful night of rest, I woke early wrapped in Carter’s arms. When Carter told me about Fred’s death, I felt sadness. While I had been betrayed by the man, he had also been my father during my formative years. I did have some good memories of that time. For whatever reason they were good to me before they turned me over to Alpha Matt and Beta Carl. Carter was advised Mary was screaming in anguish over what had happened. She had been demanding Carter and I come to her, but we did not. I had nothing more to say to the woman. It was sad that her mate had died, but there was nothing I could do to help her. Carter indicated he would see her today while I was preparing for the ceremony tonight. That also had me on edge. Would anyone ruin it for us? Would I truly become Luna to this Pack? I could not believe it was happening, but it feels like it has been a long time coming. A small part of me still worried that it would be
Alpha Carter POV Stan and I had gone over the security for the day and evening. I wanted nothing to stand in the way of Elizabeth becoming my Luna. “I think we have everything covered, Stan,” I say. He nods, “We are more than ready for tonight,” he responds. “Do you want to go visit the dungeons with me?” I ask with a smirk. “Well, do I want to no, but will I, yes,” he says as we stand and leave my office. “I do not understand why he killed himself after everything they have done,” I say trying to make sense of the behaviour. “Unfortunately, I doubt you will get the answers you hope to find. Speaking with his mate may give some insight, I suppose,” Stan replies. We walk in silence considering what we are about to learn from Mary. We walk through and the guard’s nod. I take a key from the wall and walk towards the cell which contains Mary. Opening the door, I am shocked to see her lying on her bed with tears in her eyes. She glances to the
Alpha Carter POV As we walk down the hall and take the stairs down to the main lobby, we see Stan and Kinsley waiting for us. “You look beautiful, Elizabeth,” Kinsley says. Stan nods, “Stunning,” he adds. “As do you both of you,” I reply hold Elizabeth’s hand tightly. “Let’s get started,” I say to everyone. Stan and Kinsley walk through the open doors ahead of us. We wait a moment for them to get to the head of the aisle. I then look down at Elizabeth, “Ready to become my Luna?” I ask her. “I am more than ready,” she replies as she looks up at me. The love I feel for this woman is overwhelming. I kiss her lips gently before standing and opening the doors to the ceremony. We walk through the crowd of people. Everyone was excited to see their Alpha with his Luna. The Pack had high hopes for us and were excited to be part of the ceremony. As we walk through, I nod to Pack members as Elizabeth does to the ones on her side. Everyone feels spe
Elizabeth POV I was standing helplessly watching as Carter approached Tamara. As she was being escorted out of the ceremony hall, I caught the glint of something. I looked up and saw Alpha Matt standing there with his sights on Carter’s back. “Carter, look out!” I scream but it is too late. I see his body ricochet as the bullet hits him. He is trying to say something to me, but I cannot hear. I jump from the stage and race to his side catching him before he can fall. Instead, he falls into my lap. I see blood trickling out of his mouth. I put pressure on the wound on his back, screaming for a doctor. All the doctors are standing around me doing nothing. “What the hell is wrong with you all?!?” I scream as Alpha Matt moves forward. He is aiming his gun at everyone standing ready to help. “They are too afraid Luna,” he sneers at me. I nod to Stan to come and put pressure on the wound. He does so immediately. I stand and take a
Elizabeth POV I quickly drop the Alpha to the ground as Ashley bounds out of the hall and jumps into the mix of destroying rogues. I can see many running away, but those within our range are being destroyed as we encounter them. Most are in awe that they are seeing a silver wolf, much less that they are being killed at her hands. I see a couple rogues attacking one of my warriors. Ashley races over and rips one off her, ripping their head completely off. She then continues her attack helping warriors who have become injured during their fights. “We will focus on more training,” she murmurs in my mind as she continues to fight and help the warriors within the Pack to win the battle. As the rogue bodies accumulate, I look around for any injured wolves. I see one female down and I run over to check her injuries. I roll her body over and gasp. “Kinsley!” I scream as Stan comes running over. He picks her up and races to the Pack hospit
Elizabeth POV It had been a long night. Carter had slept fitfully. They kept administering pain medication, along with medication to counter the effects of the silver in his blood system. I was focused on being positive, talking to him, assuring him everything would be alright. The Pack doctor had been in multiple times to update me on the arrival of Dr. Thomas White. I wanted to know more about him but my lack of a phone and inability to really research left me at a loss. Most people would have already googled him. I did learn he works on both humans and wolves. Wolves is his specialty as he is also a wolf. It is rare to see a wolf working in the human world successfully, but he obviously makes it work. Hearing a flurry of activity, the door to Carter’s room swings open. I turn slowly, and I am surprised at the good looking, younger man standing in the doorway. He looks in the room, “I know. Many people expect me to be much older,” he sa
Elizabeth POV Once Thomas finished his assessment, he went to bring in the Pack doctor so we could discuss the next steps. “What we have is a significant chance of paralysis, given the time the silver has been lodged in his spine. My goal is to remove the bullet, and hopefully with some luck bestowed upon us by the Moon Goddess, it will not be as bad as I anticipate,” he offers to us. My heart sinks. I know Carter will be devastated if he is paralyzed. I do not know what that will even mean for him. It will be hard for him to remain an Alpha of the Pack if he is paralyzed. I cannot believe it. I will not accept that for him. “What about what I can do to help?” I ask wanting to do whatever I could to help my mate. “I need to read the book a bit more, but it seems to me the legend says a silver wolf being present can counter the effects of the silver bullet. Or silver poisoning if that is what had happened,” he says. “I have never heard of th
Doctor Thomas POV These Pack hospitals frustrated me. They had not advanced themselves as doctors to know current trends or opportunities in managing silver or wolfsbane poisoning. As such I was facing a critical challenge with the Alpha and his current silver exposure. And this was a bigger Pack. With smaller Pack hospitals it would be an even more dire situation. Because the Luna is a silver wolf right now is largely what I am banking on to help save her mate. I walk out of the office I had been using and see a couple nurses standing at the counter. They give me their best smiles and come fuck me looks. I smirk at them. It was not the first time I had been hit on and I knew it would not be the last. I had enjoyed my share of women but right now I was focused on saving this Alpha. I walk into the Alpha’s room and not surprisingly I see the Luna sitting with him. She is holding his hand and I can hear her whispering words of encouragemen

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
