Winter's POV

"Happy Birthday, little angel."

A soft, melodic voice pulls me from sleep, and I blink my eyes open to see my mother standing at the foot of my bed, a warm smile on her face. In her hands, she holds a cake, the soft glow of eighteen flickering candles illuminating the early morning dimness of my room.

Behind her, my dad stands with his arms crossed over his chest, looking half-asleep, his hair disheveled as if he was dragged out of bed against his will.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was.

"Happy Birthday, little angel. Make a wish," my mother coos, stepping closer with the cake.

I let out a sigh, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "You two do realize I’m eighteen now, right? Too old for this?" I deadpan, giving them a look.

My mom pouts dramatically. "But you’re still our little girl."

I groan and turn to my dad for help. "Dad? Please tell her to stop. Aria and Asher are only fifteen. I’m an adult now."

Dad smirks, shaking his head. "Yeah, but it feels like just yesterday you

    I woke up with a splitting headache. What the heck happened?"Oh Serene, I am so glad you’re awake. You gave us a scare," Mom says, rushing to my side.She places a cup of water down and sits beside my bed."What happened?" I ask groggily."I don't know, Alpha Zander brought you unconscious. He said he found you in the bush unresponsive. The doctor said it might be a rogue attack. I am just glad you are okay," she hugs me.Attacked?My bedroom door opens again, my eyes meet hers, and that is when everything starts coming back.Crystal and Alpha Zander.They were kissing.Him choosing her over me.The rejection.Averia's pain.'Ria,' I called out to her.'Yeah,' her weak voice responds.'What is wrong? Are you okay?' I ask worriedly.'I am trying to be strong for us. I am dying by any minute. I need mate,' she whimpers weakly.'He rejected us, Ria,' I almost yelled at her. She whimpers in pain and retreats to the back of my head."Oh Serene, I am so glad you are okay," Crystal says and

    The next morning, I catch up to talk to him before he leaves for their honeymoon."Alpha. I am not here to beg anymore. I just need one favor for my wolf. I need to talk to Atlas," I say, and he nods without a thought.Seconds later, his eyes start glowing bright yellow, almost golden.'To what do I owe the pleasure?' he says, his voice deep and thunderous.'I want to know if you are aware of his rejection,' I say.'Yes, little mate. I am already bonded to Sansa, and I love her. I am sorry this had to happen. Tell Averia I am really sorry,' he says, and something in me dies.'Okay. Can I speak to Zander now?' I say, and he nods. A few seconds later, Zander comes back."Do you have your answer now?" he says softly."Yes," I let out a breath and look him straight in the eyes."I, Serene Gun, accept your rejection," I say, and he stumbles back a little.He looks at me in shock and surprise, as if he didn't expect me to accept it.I turn and walk away from him and everything that has to d

    Ten Years LaterI walk into my kitchen—well, not just my kitchen. I share it with my roommate, Marcus. We live in a penthouse in the heart of London.He is also my best friend. He reminds me so much of Tasha. I really miss her,but I couldn't keep in touch with her.I wonder how she is now. How many children does she have? Did she become the real estate agent she always wanted to be?So many thoughts, but I shut them off. Thinking about the past brings nothing but pain.It is my past, and that is where it will remain."Good morning, Princess," Marcus’s deep voice says from behind me."Good morning, Prince Charming. I am about to make breakfast. Pancakes?" I ask."Sure." He smiles and walks over to the coffee machine,but kisses me on the cheek before.For a British man, he does love coffee more than tea."Are you ready for your biggest breakthrough?" he asks."More than ready, but a little nervous," I tell him."That’s normal. I need to leave very early today to check out the venue bef

    I woke up extra early today because there was a lot to do at work,hiring and signing new models, photoshoots for Vogue magazine, which came in yesterday, and taking calls from new clients overseas. Not to mention the grand openings of my new shops in France and Italy.I am so glad we Kiara,she is one of the biggest influencers and she has been helping with our social media promotions.Marcus was right—this was our biggest breakthrough, and we needed to work hard to keep it going.Collen had just started shooting a new blockbuster movie, and thank God my designs were ready to be used.I took a shower and dressed in a green summer dress and flats.We were in the middle of spring, and the weather was a little chilly.I looked out through the glass walls. The clouds were dark and foggy, signaling that it might rain at any moment.I stepped into the kitchen to see Marcus already up, sorting through some files and papers."Good morning, Prince Charming," I said, kissing his cheek and picking

    Ever since my brother left my penthouse, I’ve had an uneasy feeling inside me.It’s as if I’m being followed.For instance, when I was on the red carpet with Marcus at the launch of our new lingerie designs, one of the photographers looked oddly familiar.I could have sworn I’d met him somewhere before....but maybe it was just paranoia.There’s also always someone....an unknown figure....lurking on our security cameras.Marcus says I’m overthinking things, but I’m just being careful.My life is finally starting to take shape, to have real meaning, and I won’t let anything.....or anyone....take that away from me.I can’t afford to lose myself again.Today is one of the days I take a walk around the block.It also marks the 10th anniversary of losing my baby boy.People might call me awful or a bad mother, but a part of me is glad he left this world.I wouldn’t have hated him....I would have loved him so much. Even though he wasn’t conceived the right way, he was still my son, a part of

    The moment we crossed the pack borders, every severed connection from ten years ago began to reestablish itself."Wow, this isn’t what I was expecting. This place is absolutely civil—it looks like a mini town," Marcus says, staring at the buildings in awe."What were you expecting?" I ask, confused."Well… trees and treehouses. Bushes. I don’t know, maybe caves," he shrugs.I roll my eyes. "Marcus, you do realize we’re humans with supernatural abilities, right? We have civilization. We live like humans...we just have the ability to transform into wolves."He nods but continues scanning the city with fascination.I don’t know how Mama will react. I just hope she is not angry with me.In my letter, I never gave them the full details of what happened between Zander, Crystal, and me. They don’t know the real reason I left. I can only pray they forgive me.Zack is still driving, not bothering to look back.Wait… something isn’t adding up.If he’s the Beta of this pack, then what happened to

    The grand hall of the packhouse was alive with warmth and celebration. Today marked fifteen years since Ruine and I had joined our lives together, and there was no better way to celebrate than with the people we loved most—our family. The space was beautifully decorated with golden and silver lights, symbolizing the strength and endurance of our bond.At the center of it all stood Ruine, his sharp golden eyes softened by joy as he laughed with Cole and Nikolai, both of whom had grown into strong, confident men. My heart swelled as I looked around the room. Our triplets—now nineteen—were standing together, sharing a quiet moment of laughter. They were no longer the mischievous children who used to run through the halls causing chaos but were on the cusp of full adulthood, strong and independent.Lilac, Ruine’s daughter from his first marriage, was beside me, holding a glass of wine as she watched her five children chase after my grandkids. She had married Ruine’s Beta and best friend, a

    The summer sun kissed the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux as we arrived at our private villa in France. The air smelled of lavender and fresh bread, a scent that instantly made me feel at home. It had been years since our last big family vacation, and now that the kids were teenagers, this trip was bound to be different. Gone were the days of carrying them around on our hips; now, we were dealing with independent, opinionated young adults who still had that mischievous spark in their eyes."This place is sick!" Cole exclaimed, dropping his bag the second we stepped inside. He was already looking around for the best room, and I had no doubt he and Nikolai would argue over it.Kiara, on the other hand, was more composed. "It's beautiful," she murmured, running her fingers over the intricate wood carvings on the staircase. "I can't wait to see the gardens."Ruine chuckled behind me. "You two get your pick of rooms—just not the master. That’s ours."Cole groaned while Nikolai smirked. "First

    The sun dipped below the horizon, casting an amber glow over the modernized expanse of Gold Sun Pack. The pack’s main hall buzzed with energy, wolves of all ranks moving through the grand space as they discussed recent events. Tonight was special—not just because the pack had grown stronger, but because it marked two pivotal moments in the lives of Casma and Ruine’s sons, Cole and Nikolai.Cole had always been the dreamer among the triplets, the one who found beauty in everything. But tonight, something shifted within him. It had started the moment he locked eyes with the mysterious stranger standing near the training grounds. She was unlike any wolf he had ever seen—because she wasn’t one at all. The unmistakable scent of magic clung to her, mixing with the crisp night air, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.A witch.The realization should have made him step back, should have triggered the instincts every werewolf was born with. But instead, he stood rooted to the s

    It was supposed to be a normal day. The morning had started with the usual chaos of raising three teenagers. Nikolai and Cole were arguing over who had taken the last protein bar, and Kiara had been in her room, unusually quiet. I’d noticed she skipped breakfast, which was unlike her. Usually, she was the one dragging her brothers to the table, making sure they ate something before training with Ruine.The moment I heard a timid knock on my office door, I knew something was wrong. When I opened it, Kiara stood there, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other. Her usually confident expression was hesitant, and her hazel eyes darted everywhere except at me."Mom… can we talk?" she asked in a voice that was barely above a whisper.I immediately stepped aside, pulling her into the room and closing the door behind her. "Of course, sweetheart. What’s wrong?"She hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and looking up at me. "I think something’s wrong with me."Panic shot through

    The day had finally arrived.Fourteen years ago, I had endured the most painful yet rewarding experience of my life—bringing Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole into this world. Now, as I stood outside in the open training grounds of the Gold Sun Pack, watching my children prepare for their first shift, I felt a strange mixture of pride, excitement, and unease. This was a monumental moment, a rite of passage for every werewolf, and yet I couldn’t shake the maternal instinct that wanted to shield them from the inevitable pain.The sky was painted in deep hues of orange and pink as the sun dipped below the horizon. Ruine stood beside me, his Alpha presence as commanding as ever, though his features softened when he looked at our children. He had spent the last year preparing them for this moment—ensuring they were mentally and physically ready to shift. Shifting for the first time wasn’t just a transformation; it was a rebirth.“You’re ready,” Ruine said firmly, his deep voice resonating across the

    The morning started like any other—chaotic yet filled with love. The triplets, now eleven years old, were in the middle of their werewolf changes, which meant heightened senses, mood swings, and an insatiable hunger that rivaled a full-grown wolf. Living in the Gold Sun Pack had its advantages—modern facilities, excellent schools, and a strong support system—but nothing quite prepared me for raising three preteens going through their transformation simultaneously.I sighed as I entered the kitchen, already knowing what awaited me. Nikolai and Cole were engaged in a playful scuffle near the breakfast bar, while Kiara sat at the table, scowling at the milk in her cereal as if it had personally offended her.“Boys, do not break anything,” I warned, walking past them to pour myself a much-needed cup of coffee.“They started it!” Kiara huffed, pushing her bowl away. “I can hear them chewing, and it’s disgusting.”I took a deep breath. Enhanced hearing was one of the earliest signs of their

    The air was thick with anticipation as we arrived at the Blood Moon Pack’s grand estate, the towering castle-like structure bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. It had been years since I had stepped foot here, and despite the changes, the essence of the pack remained the same—strong, proud, and unyielding. But tonight was different. Tonight, we weren’t just visitors; we were here to witness my son, Tyral Dores, ascend as the new Alpha.The moment we stepped out of the sleek black SUV, a hush fell over the gathered pack members. They watched with reverence as Ruine and I made our way toward the ceremonial grounds, our five-year-old triplets—Nikolai, Kiara, and Cole—tugging excitedly at our hands. It wasn’t every day they got to visit their older brother’s pack, and they were eager to be part of such a grand occasion.Lilac walked beside us, her presence a silent strength. My stepdaughter had been a pillar in our family, and though she had suffered her share of loss, tonight, sh

    The grand hall of the Blood Moon Pack was alive with excitement. The towering stone walls, adorned with the banners of past Alphas, stood as a testament to the strength and legacy of this pack. Tonight, the pack gathered to witness the coronation of its next Alpha—Tyral McLean, my firstborn son.It felt like just yesterday when I had held him in my arms as a newborn, vowing to protect him from all harm. Now, at twenty-four, he stood tall and proud, the embodiment of strength, wisdom, and leadership. By his side was his mate, Billy, the love of his life since childhood, and the mother of his four children. Their eldest, Kai, was already beginning to show signs of being a great warrior, his keen instincts mirroring his father’s at the same age.I stood beside Ruine, who held my hand as we watched our son prepare for the ceremony. Our triplets—Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole—stood nearby, their five-year-old faces filled with excitement and curiosity. Rhynara, now a young woman, watched with adm
