Jasmine’s POV

After my judgment on the mother and daughter who had lied against Amy, I noticed that members of my pack began to treat me differently.

And not in a bad way.

If they had treated me with anything close to respect, due to the fact that I was their Alpha’s mate, they now treated me with respect and admiration.

Lena had ensured that my sentences on the mother and daughter were carried out.

More than anyone, she had been proud of how I had handled the case and took great joy in narrating the occurrence in great detail to Nana and Mari, who had been disappointed that they had not been present to witness the even for themselves.

Amy and Emry’s mother, who worked closely alongside Nana at the healing house was full of thanks, even going as far as shedding a few tears, to express her gratitude for how I had come to her daughter’s rescue.

Like her daughter, she was a quiet she-wolf who had lost her husband years ago and worked at the healing house to provide for her two children.

Nana preferred her among the other she-wolves who worked at, or assisted at the healing house.

I also knew for a fact that Nana trusted her as well. And Nana did not trust many people.

That spoke a lot about her character and earned her my respect.

She also thanked me for tending to her child’s bruises and comforting her.

Personally, I saw no need for that.

It was no secret that I preferred Amy and her company to the other young girls that helped out around the pack.

I adored her quiet nature and calmness.

I also remembered the time she had come to my rescue. And how she had not said a word about it since then.

I would have doubted that she even remembered if I did not already know that she was a bright girl with a sharp mind that never forgot anything.

It was why she was so helpful.

I had grown very fond of her.

After the incident, she had begun to come around me more often. She was almost always at my side, dutifully following me everywhere I went as I performed my daily chores and duties.

I truly did not mind it.

In fact, I loved her company. And since Lena was just as fond of her as I was, she became a constant company.

It suddenly felt like I had gotten a little sister, and I doted on her to the extent that it became obvious to the entire pack.

Members of our pack began to treat her differently.

While they had almost always treated both her and her mother with quite little respect due to their low rank and lack of a male wolf protector, Emry’s joining of the warriors and Regan’s obvious affection for him had indicated the presence of a male wolf protector in their family of three.

That, combined with my obvious affection for Amy, was enough to elevate their status in the eyes of the members of our pack, even without any official announcement or change of rank.

Despite the new found respect and admiration from my pack, as well as the company that kept me occupied, I could not help but still miss my mate.

His journey was taking longer than originally planned and I was worried for their safe return until we received word of the reason behind it.

Grateful for their well being but still missing him terribly, I had written a letter and had given it to Nana who sent it through the means of a spell.

I received a letter a few days later in answer to my enquiries made in my letter as well as telling me how much he missed me.

His letter brought me a whole deal of relief.

Until a day later when all my relief and evaporated at a request sent by the Alpha of Blackmoon pack, requesting permission to enter into our pack and have an audience with me, it’s leader at the moment.

As soon as the letter was brought to me and I read through it, I immediately rejected it.

But Carson would not give up.

He sent request after request, all which I denied, before a letter from him was brought to me bearing a different seal.

Our Gamma, who once again brought the letter to where I was seated behind Regan’s desk in his study at the pack house, spoke as soon as he handed he letter to me.

“I am afraid we would have no choice but to give him audience”, he said as I opened the letter.

Lena, who was seated across from me on the other side of the desk leaned forward to take a closer look at the letter in my hands.

It was different from the others who held the crest of the Blackmoon pack.

This letter had a completely different crest.

On finally catching a glimpse of the crest on the new letter, Lena gasped.

“That sly creature!” She gasped in outrage.

I looked in surprise from her outraged face to that of the Gamma who stood with a straight face.

“What is this crest?” I asked. “And what does it mean?” I asked, this time turning to our Gamma for an explanation.

Lena looked too angry to explain.

He answered almost immediately.

“It is not good news, Luna”, he said. “At least not for us”, he added before continuing. “That crest is the crest of the council of Elders”, he told me. “It seems that the Alpha of Blackmoon pack requested a pardon letter that cannot be rejected by any of the packs tho be sent to us”, he explained.

“But why would they even permit him to do such a thing?” Lena asked. “Are they unaware of the history between our pack and Blackmoon?” She asked angrily. “What lies could he have told them to make them issue a pardon letter?” She asked.

From their conversation, I began to understand what they were talking about.

It seemed Carson had requested a letter issued by the Council of Elders that made it impossible to refuse.

Like Lena had said, he was a sly creature indeed.

“He had probably lied about wishing to make amends with our pack”, our Gamma said.

Lena scoffed. “How the Elders can be gullible enough to believe such an obvious lie would forever be a mystery of the decade”, she said.

“It is no surprise since they are after peace”, our Gamma said. “The werewolf realm is divided enough as it is”, he added.

With his words, I could understand why the Council of Elders would grant such a privilege to a member of Blackmoon pack.

But it still presented the problem that I was left with no choice but to allow Carson into our pack.

But I would take precautions.

Carson was a snake, that I knew.

So I could never be too careful.

“Alert our warriors”, I said to our Gamma. “Keep a tight lock on all our borders. No one comes in or goes out until the Alpha of Blackmoon pack leaves”, I ordered. “Send for Alpha Gaius, Gaia and Nana. I would need their presenc”, I said and he nodded. “Also”, I added before he could leave. “The Alpha of Blackmoon pack is allowed to come in with only one person”, I said. “Every other werewolf of their party would remain in wait, outside our borders. Send some warriors there to keep watch and ensure they know to not hesitate if the wolves of Blackmoon pack act suspicious”, I told him firmly.

“Yes, Luna”, he said with a firm nod.

“That is all for now”, I told him. “Bring him here”.

At my final orders, he bowed in respect before taking his leave.

“I do not like this, Dearest”, Lena said as soon as our Gamma left the study.

“Neither do I”, I told her in return. “But it seems we have no choice in the matter”, I said, leaning back into my mate’s chair that still had his scent.

It brought me warmth and gave me strength, and reminded me of who I am.

So, when Nana, Gaia and Alpha Gaius walked into the study a moment later, I straightened my spine and assumed the position of strength I wanted our enemy to see.

Nana’s lips curved on seeing me, pride in her smile as she walked in and took a seat on one of the available chairs.

Gaia took the one beside her.

Alpha Gaius came to stand behind the chair his mate was seated, allowing a hand to rest on her shoulder while Lena remained seated exactly where she was, opposite the last free seat in the room which our enemy would occupy.

I could feel my heart beat fast the minute our Gamma mind linked to tell me that they were approaching the pack house.

Everyone else must had heard it because Nana suddenly called out my name softly.

I looked towards her on hearing it and she gave a comforting smile.

“Calm yourself, My dear”, she said to me. “You are no longer the helpless she-wolf he once knew”, she said. “Now, you are the Luna of the Midnight Wolves pack and last descendant of the Royal Bloodline. Do not forget that”, she said.

I smiled my gratitude, grateful for her words as I took in a deep breath of my mate’s scent, allowing it calm me down and even out my heart beat, before I heard footsteps approaching from outside the study.

I mind linked our Gamma to enter once he knocked, and the door came open to reveal our guests.

My eyes immediately locked on Tyler Carson as he made his way into the room, an arrogant smirk on his lips as he walked in.

On seeing me seated behind the desk, he came to a sudden halt, his eyes widening in surprise and disbelief as he stared at me.

I slow smile of satisfaction curved my lips.

It was certainly worth it to see that expression on his face.

“Alpha Carson”, I said, addressing him formally, my tone cool and calm. “I am sure you did not come all the way to my pack simply to stare at me”, I said, when he remained speechless.

“Jasmine?” He called out in disbelief, as if still not believing it.

“That is Luna Jasmine to you”, Lena snapped from where she was seated, drawing his attention from me, and he finally recovered from his shock.

He turned back to me.

“I thought you were…” he trailed off, unwilling to complete his sentence.

“Dead?” I asked, helping his finish his sentence.

He did not respond, simply allowed his eyes roam all over my face, a sudden look coming onto his face that I did not like.

“You look different”, he said, taking gradual steps forward, that look still in his eyes. “I do not remember you being so beautiful”, he said.

I heard Lena’s hiss as I clenched my jaw in anger.

Knowing it would not help to allow him get a rise out of me, I simply took in a breath before leaning back into my seat and pointing at the only free chair in the room.

“Why don’t you seat?” I said, looking him down turning to my Gamma.

Getting the message, our Gamma came forward and took the last available seat in the room, leaving our guests standing.

Though a childish move on my part, it gave me a small sense of satisfaction.

He did not deserve to be seated in my presence.

At my move, he only smiled, before the smile slowly disappeared as he realized something.

“So, you are Cross’s new mate?” He asked, his eyes hardening and jaw clenching.

I smiled.

“I am”, I told him, only then noticing his only companion.

As I took in the sight of him, memories of the maltreatment I received from him flitted through my mind but I did not allow it take hold of me.

Bianca’s cousin, Tyler’s Beta, stood with his head bowed before me, and I suddenly thought how funny fate could be.

I turned back to Tyler.

“What was the reason you went to such lengths to get an audience with my mate?” I asked, aware that he had been hoping to see Regan.

“I wished to confirm a rumor I had heard”, he said reluctantly.

“And what rumor would that be?” I asked.

“That his mate was a descendant of the Royal Bloodline”, he said, pushing the words out through clenched teeth.

A slow smile split my lips.

“The rumor is true”, I said to him, all but beaming at the look on his face. “And I am that mate”.

    Regan’s POV It did not take us long to arrive at Redclaw pack once my request to be accepted into the pack was granted. A part of me had thought it would have been rejected and was quite satisfied with that since it meant Luke would be spared the emotional torture the meeting might turn out to be for him. All the same, he rode beside me with a straight face, obviously deep in his thoughts that I did not dare intrude upon. A part of me suddenly wished we had not come with horses. It meant our quest would have been faster in a sense. We could have run in our wolf forms to arrive at the packs we had to visit. However, three concerns had made me decide otherwise. The first was that we had planned to visit several packs, which meant we had to come with a lot of gifts for each pack we visited, hence why we had to bring along two carts. Running in our wolf form meant we would have had to carry all those tributes and gifts and would have left us exhausted very quickly, especi

    Jasmine’s POV Since I had no choice in the matter, I took amusement from wherever I could. At the moment, the amusement I derived from the expression of disbelief on the face of my former mate was one that brought me immense satisfaction indeed. He remained standing in the same spot since he had seen me, with his Beta beside him. “So it is true then?” He asked again, the disbelief suddenly giving way to an emotion I did not quickly realize. “She has already said that it is”, Lena replied hotly from where she way seated. He finally broke his gaze away from mine to shoot her a heated glare. “And who might you be?” He asked with a threatening growl. Before I could open my mouth to warn him to not speak that way to her, her mate, whose hand remained possessively on her shoulder, spoke. “She is my mate”, Alpha Gaius said, the warning clear in his tone and the brief flickering of his eyes that warned that his wolf was not so far from the surface, ready to attack any threat

    Regan’s POV By the time a member of Redclaw pack came to escort us to their dining room, Luke had come to terms with the fact that he would have to face his mate, whether he liked it or not. I knew he was eager for answers to finally uncover the mystery behind his brother’s death. And so was I. But unlike Luke, I had a greater desire than that of getting answers. That desire was to see Luke finally happy, with his mate. I had always been able to read people easily, or at least feel their aura. From just our one meeting, I could tell that Luke’s mate, Zara, was not an evil person. Simply a protective and suspicious one. As we arrived at the dining room, we were ushered to our seats. Seated at the head chair of the dining table was who I knew was the Alpha of the pack, simply because of the aura I perceived from him. He looked frail and I could easily tell that he would not last too much longer. His daughter was seated to his right, and other ranked members of his p

    Jasmine’s POV I had just returned from my usual morning runs with Lena. She still could not get used to the fact that I had a wolf and her dreams of going on runs with me were being fulfilled. She also could not get over how beautiful she said Snow was. Snow had instantly taking a liking to Lena’s wolf, as I never doubted she would. And although I knew Snow was much faster, she always kept a pace that she knew Lena’s wolf could keep up with whenever we ran. We had just returned from washing up at the stream after our run when Amy ran up to join us. “Luna!” She called, panting for breath from her run. She still refused to call me by my name no matter how many times I had urged her to do so. “There’s a letter”, she said, still panting for breath. “From the Alpha”, she finally managed to get out. On hearing this, I grabbed her hand excitedly and began to pull her into another run. As she opened her mouth to protest, probably to say she could not run any longer, Lena s

    Regan’s POV Needless to say, once we had received the pledge from the Alpha of Redclaw pack, there was no reason to remain there much longer. I agreed to stay an additional two nights at their pack for Luke’s sake. I could tell that he wanted more time with his mate. However, the tables had slowly turned. While it had been Luke’s mate who seemed besotted before, Luke’s eyes now followed her everywhere like a love sick puppy. It was amusing to say the least since I had never seen him that way. Our warriors had even started to secretly tease him among themselves about how he was completely besotted with his mate. She, on the other hand, seemed to be avoiding him, even though her eyes searched for him whenever she walked into a room, only to look away when she saw him already watching her. I had written to my mate about Luke finding his mate, so that she could share the good news with Lena and Nana. However, seeing Luke and his mate simply made me miss mine so much

    Jasmine’s POV I woke up that morning feeling that something was different. Not different in a bad sense but different anyway. I sat up on my bed and looked at the empty space beside me. Not a day went by where I did not miss my mate. And though we sent letters to each other, it did nothing to ease the ache of his absence. Lena had decided to wait until their return before setting a date for her mating ceremony. Although she was very excited and looked forward to it, she insisted that it would not be complete without both her brothers. There was nothing I could say to argue with that. I cleaned up and changed to join Lena at the sanctuary, where we were to meet to go for our morning run. As soon as I stepped into the sanctuary where she was seated on the fallen trunk, waiting for me, she immediately froze, a frown on her face. “What is it?” I asked, stepping closer to her in concern. “We are not alone”, she said in almost a whisper, looking attentive as though

    Regan’s POV After the night I had actually conversed with Luke’s mate, I decided that she was too much like Lena to not get along famously with both Lena and my mate. She had grown noticeably closer to Luke after that night as well. She did not avoid him as she normally did and Luke looked the happiest I had seen him in years. It was almost heart breaking to tear them apart. But the day of our departure finally came. As much as I hated to, we were obligated to leave for our last destination before we could finally make our way back home. Emry, who was separated from his mother and sister for the very first time, had started to become home sick. And despite how hard he tried to hide it, it was easy for me to notice. Perhaps because I was feeling the same way as well. I could honestly not wait to return home to my mate and unborn pup, as well as Nana and Lena. I had missed them all considerably.

I knew she looked familiar, but no matter how hard I tried, I still could not place or remember why she was familiar to me. However, her saying that we were family was the last thing I had expected to hear. “I am sure I heard you wrong”, I said to her. “You did not”, she said almost immediately, that smile still in place. “You heard me right”, she said. “We are family”. The fact that she said it again left me baffled. After recovering from my speechlessness, I asked her. “How are we family?” I asked, knowing everyone else in the room was curious about the same thing. That smile on her face never wavered. “Our mothers were sisters”, she said without hesitation. “I suppose that would make us cousins”, I told her. Though I was surprised at her news, I tried my best to keep my facial expression from revealing just how surprised I rea

    Jasmine’s POV It was a surprise to everyone at breakfast the next morning to see Luke seated to Regan’s left, and the two thoroughly engaged in conversation. I am sure Luke’s mate was surprised as well because we shared a glance of astonishment before turning back to watch our mates interact. It was as though Luke had never left. The only difference was, when before it would be very obvious that they were both mind linking the other, it had now become that they would openly speak to each other. I secretly believed they did that so that Lena could see. If she saw and was affected by it, she hid it well, keeping a blank and almoubored expression on her face and only interacting with the ladies and her mate throughout the meal. It was the bored expression that let me know that she was indeed affected. Lena was never bored. If she was, she created something to entertain herself and others. On the other had, the two friends who had obviously resolved whatever issues the

Lady Zara was getting along famously with the ladies, who went out of their way to include her in every activity they performed. They had even taken her to their favorite place at the stream and it was clear to see that Lady Zara was thoroughly enjoying her stay in our pack. For my part, I was mostly confused. I did not know whether to have Luke perform duties around the pack, just as I normally would. But it was not the same. I did not even know if o could still refer to him as my Beta. We had not had a single meaningful conversation since his return.

I had known that Lena’s feelings had been hurt by Luke’s refusal to respond to the several letters she had sent him while he had been away. However, I had assumed that all would be forgiven once he returned home. I had assumed wrong. She had avoided seeing him all day and had remained in the privacy of her room until it was time for Supper. Then, she had emerged in all her cold beauty and proceeded to sit as far away from Luke at the dinner table in the pack house. Despite her avoidance of Luke and her ignoring of his existence, her cold treatment was never given to Luke’s mate, who she had pulled into a hug and gushed over how beautiful she was the moment Nana had introduced her.

Alpha Regan kept me informed on his progress with the Council of Elders while his Luna wrote to ask about my well being as well as that of my mate and our unborn pup. She also wrote to inform me that she had written to her distant nephew, the Alpha of Moonrock pack, and encouraged me to write to him, assuring me of his acceptance to hear of my request. After receiving that particular letter, I wasted no time in writing to the Alpha of Moonrock pack, convincing Alpha Gaiu to do the same on our behalf. He readily agreed, if for nothing else but for his mate sake, I suspected. However, despite writing and receiving letters, I had yet to receive a letter from the one person I had not realized I had wished to hear from the most. Luke. I had written and destroyed several letters I had meant to send

    Jasmine’s POV Regan’s return brought a new light to my days. Once they had been welcomed and fed, each warrior returned to their respective homes. With his arm around my waist, my mate led us back to our home after our evening meal with the rest of the pack to welcome our warriors back. Mira had done an absolutely marvelous job at cooking up the most sumptuous meal for our supper. Everyone had eaten their feel and the mood was very merry. However, throughout the meal, Isla remained quiet as usual, only lightly conversing with Lena or other wise quietly watching and smiling to some antics the warriors did. Most of them were somewhat drunk and were obnoxiously loud. One thing that was clear to anyone with eyes was how much and how often most of the warriors who had returned -most of which were unmated - tried to gain Isla’s attention. At first, they had simply stared at her or passed her admiring glances. But once they started to drink, they grew bolder with trying to g

I waved away her thanks, taking her hand and bowing over it before bidding her farewell. Then I turned to Luke. Our goodbye was a very casual affair as we both knew each other well enough to know that we did not want to get affectionate or create a scene. So we limited our goodbye to a nod and a brief handshake and patting of shoulders. As I turned around and began to walk away to join our warriors who were already gathered and waiting with our horses and supplies for our return home, I caught sight of Emry break away from the group and run past me to Luke.

The ladies and I were seated in Lena’s room, taking a much needed break from our daily activities when I received the letter. As I tore it open and began to read, I could feel the curious silence that took over the space. Disappointment settled in my stomach when I heard that their journey home had been delayed once more. But when I heard the reason, the feeling of disappointment instantly changed to that of concern and worry. As I finished reading the letter, I lifted my head to face the three pair of eyes already on me, no that eager to hear the news. “Their journey has been further delayed”, I announced. Both Lena and Amy sighed in disappearing but Isla did not look the least upset or even affected about the news. I could not blame her, it was impossible to miss people you had never even met. She did rest a sympathetic hand o

After all, it was still on our path home and would cost us no major discomfort or set back. That had been the right choice to make, for as we approached the entrance into the pack, a white cloth was spread across the entrance. Seeing that could only mean one thing. That Alpha Zolan of the Redclaw pack had passed into the world beyond. Upon seeing this, Luke pushed his horse to go faster, disregarding the normal protocol and I did not have it in me to stop him. I understood how he felt. He had thought only of his mate. I followed closely behind him, and once their pack warriors saw that the intruders were us, they did not make any further move to stop us. I watched as Lady Zara come out of the pack house alongside other pack members. Upon seeing Luke hastily dismounting from his horse, she ran towards him and straigh

Well, as close as one could be as a friend to someone who was used to being alone and valued her alone time over all else. Isla and Lena could not be more different if they were light and day. With Isla’s cool beauty and reserved demeanor, and Lena’s bright attitude and attractive features, they were very different. But somehow, thanks to efforts from mostly Lena who was determined to find something in common with my cousin, they had become good friends.
