SpenserI didn’t want Alison to give up everything she had worked so hard for. Everything she fought so hard for. I didn’t want her to give up so easily, but it seemed she was determined to make the changes and to proclaim me king. I didn’t leave my pack behind, so I could one day be called king. I did it so that I could be there to support her.I gave up everything, and she was willing to risk it all when she took the life of the old king. We were both fighting for what we believed in. We were both willing to give up our lives to give our people better lives. We were both willing to give it all. That was what made her such an incredible queen and, according to Alison, what would make me an incredible king.I was sad though. I didn’t want two of the castles to just be abandoned. Thankfully, Alison had an amazing idea for that as well. She wanted us to spend time in each of them. We would spend a couple of months in each and that way our children got to grow up in a wondrous magical wo
AlisonThe tournament had been a huge success and as Spenser and I announced the winners, I could proudly say that we had the best of the best to protect the pack. I was worried about how some might feel after losing, but the decision to let them keep their ranks was the right one. I could see morale lifting with each passing day and wondered if it would be possible to not have omegas anymore.Life was a constant circle and people didn’t live forever. I was beginning to feel as if everything would work out after seeing the newly ranked warriors in their shiny new uniforms. Maybe it won’t be as bad as I imagined. We still had omegas, but maybe if we no longer had omegas, it wouldn’t be that bad.People still did the jobs they did before the tournament. That didn’t change that much. Only a select few won and were promoted to a new position in the castle. Seeing our plan in action and working was exactly what I needed. All my previous fears were washed away and we could move forward. We
AlisonOur daughter was born six months later on a beautiful sunny day. I would never admit it out loud, but I was relieved that Spenser was now the king and that he had taken over all the heavy lifting in our kingdom. His coronation was a huge success. The pack members who wanted to move were putting in their transfer requests and all around our kingdom there was a low rumble as people started to find their new futures.Some wanted to move from the city to the quieter packs in the small villages, while some of the villagers were using this chance to try their luck in the city. Since everyone was not just a part of our pack, but also part of the smaller packs all over the country, it was a huge deal to move.Spenser and I had to make sure that each little village had an alpha and beta to take care of their needs. We agreed, and I was relieved when my father believed it to be a great idea to name Ralph alpha of the old rogue kingdom. To say that Ralph was shocked was an understatement,
LiamKing of the new world. King of all I surveyed. To say that it was overwhelming was an understatement! I couldn’t show my parents how incredibly scared I was. They had so much faith in me, all I could do was hope that I didn’t disappoint them and that their faith was enough to carry me through. It was a little disappointing not to have recognized my mate on the night of my birthday.My mother made sure all the single females in our entire kingdom were invited. When I didn’t find her, I wondered what it meant, but then uncle Ralph informed me that some of the girls couldn’t make it to the party. That was a huge relief because it meant she might still be out there. I knew that most males didn’t always find their mates the night they turned eighteen.Most of the time, we had to wait a year or two since the females were generally a little younger, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. I spent my entire life fighting to make my parents proud of me. I spent my entire life trying to
LouisaI met the king once a long time ago before either of us could tell that we were mates. When our eyes met, and he walked over, I was so flabbergasted that I didn’t even know what to say! I never imagined I could be the king’s mate. People were always talking about the fact that he hadn’t found his mate yet, and I always felt really sad for him, but I never ever imagined I was that special person.I had turned eighteen only a week before the princess. I wasn’t planning on coming to the princess’s birthday at all, but my mother insisted. We didn’t attend many of the royal events, and only joined in with their weekly thing once a month. My parents were omegas, and they never tried out for more. My father believed that he did his best in the old days when the pack was forced to take part in ranked trials and both he and my mother had made peace with their positions in life.My mother always said that she wanted better for me, and I knew she secretly hoped I would be mated to a high-
Helena“Bennie! What are you doing?” I pulled out of his arms, feeling incredibly uncomfortable. I could tell he was my mate. Not because he shouted it for all to hear, but I could feel the bond. What I couldn’t understand was why. Why wait all night until everyone was leaving before showing your face and why the hell did the moon goddess choose one of my closest friends as my destined mate?!“I’m sorry, Helena. Someone misplaced our invitation.” He shrugged, and I rolled my eyes, not believing a word of what he said. I knew him too well. He was probably off hunting and wanted to finish his hunt first. He was one of my closest friends, but he wasn’t very good at keeping time! I had already given up on finding my mate tonight.My hair was hanging loose around my shoulders after I took out the pin that was keeping it all together far too tightly. My shoes were in my left hand since they were really uncomfortable, and I believed the night was over, and I would already have changed into o
Louisa“Okay, so now that my sister has found her mate, I can focus all of my attention on you.” Liam smiled as we made our way into the castle, followed fairly closely by my parents. We were omegas, but my parents still believed in the old ways and until the day the king had officially declared me his mate and marked me, my parents would be chaperoning us everywhere we went.“Tell me what you like to do in your free time.” He smiled, and I felt the burn of the bright blush creeping over my cheeks.“I’m afraid I’m pretty boring.” I shrugged. “I’m nothing like your mother. I wish I was, but if that is what the pack was hoping for, they are going to be disappointed.” He tensed up beside me, but I continued when he kept quiet. “I love to read. Nothing major. Just normal romance novels.”“You do realize that those novels just give you ladies high hopes about real romance.” He frowned, making me laugh.“I know, but a girl can dream, can’t she? Besides, just look at your parents and how the
HelenaI couldn’t even begin to imagine Bennie as a prince, but I also couldn’t imagine living with him away from the palace. Yes, I would have loved to have my little home away from it all with a normal life, but I wasn’t destined to be a normal wolf. Things changed when I turned eighteen. I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts. Who was I trying to kid?Everything changed when I found out that one of my closest friends was in fact my destined mate. That was when things changed. Deep down, I realized, without realizing, I realized it already, that we could actually bring about some of those changes we were discussing while we were at school. We could change the course of so many lives.“I can see the steam coming out of your ears. I’ve told you a million times, you shouldn’t think so hard.” Goosebumps broke out all over my skin as Bennie’s hot breath blew down the side of my neck. We were this close so many times over the years and I never reacted this way. I never felt any of this while
