AEON. It was already seven in the morning and I was still in my office. I couldn’t even blink to sleep. Too many things were running through my mind: about the pack, about my father, and about Alexa. Karson told me last night that Alexa was bought by Alpha Aurelius for ten million dollars. Plus some land in the north. I was hoping the title of the land was not yet given to my father, so I didn’t have to be hassled with it. But the ten million dollar check was written and was probably in my father’s bank account already. And I was sure he would never give it back to me. So I had to find ways to pay back the ten million on my own. I didn’t want to face Alpha Aurelius and asked for Alexa’s hand without paying back the money he gave to my father. And this is what kept me awake until now. My pack has money, but I don’t want to use it to buy back my Luna. The money belonged to my pack, and with so many changes we needed to consider, we might need the budget for it. In terms of my perso
AEON.I would have wanted to call Alexa directly, but aside from Alexa not having her own phone, Riley told me that, according to Sebastian, his mother and Alpha Aurelius, didn’t like me at all for Alexa.I couldn’t blame them. I wouldn’t like me for her either if I based it on the suffering she had to go through under my watch. I knew I could have done better, but my fear and respect for my father stopped me from protecting her. And I couldn’t do anything about it now.But I am willing to do everything I can to win her back, even if this means I have to win their approval first.So here I was, calling across the country to a pack I had never encountered before. The call was connected to Alpha Adan, the current Alpha of their pack, and, as I found out, was Alexa’s cousin. He might have heard about me, but he was fair enough to be civil with me when I requested to speak with his grandfather. He explained that his grandfather lived in a different estate within his territory and gave hi
After Two Weeks. ALEXA. I woke up with a heavy heart. It has been two weeks since I came here and I still haven’t got the chance to talk with Aeon. I had begged my grandfather to let me call him, but he insisted that we needed to wait for Aeon to call me. And it felt like I was waiting in vain because no calls came for me. I couldn’t understand why Pops was torturing me and wouldn’t allow me to call him instead. I’ve tried numerous times to sneak to the phone line, but I’m always caught, either by Momma or Uncle Audrus. My only consolation was, that Uncle Audrus told me secretly that Aeon had been calling every day to check on me, but Pop had instructed everyone not to let me know. But of course, my uncle was a different case. He was not scared of Pops, so he told me. Although it made me hopeful, I was already losing energy because of missing him. There were days I felt like I wanted to hate Pops, but I kept reminding myself that maybe he was just testing how long Aeon would run a
AEON. If it was just me, I would have flown off to the North immediately after I became an Alpha, but I knew Alexa would understand why I didn’t. I couldn’t just leave my pack without any direction. It took more than a week for me to reach out to everyone and discuss future plans and visions. And within two weeks, the pack found its rhythm. And although I didn’t go after her, I made it a point to call Adan and Audrus to ask about her. Until one time, it was her grandfather that answered the phone, and although he was still cold toward me, he answered things about Alexa. And he began asking about my pack. I just realized he was giving me advice and commending me for things I was doing, and I just found myself telling him all the plans I have for my pack. Until it became my daily routine. I ended my day by calling Alpha Aurelius, and he would tell me what Alexa had been doing, and in return, I would tell him about my pack. In the absence of my father, Alpha Aurelius stepped up. Even
ALEXA. My arms were snaked around Aeon’s body the whole time he was driving us to the packhouse after our little tryst in the middle of the forest. It was only after we had done the deed that I realized how awkward it would be if someone saw us, but despite that, I didn’t have any regrets. I really wanted him so badly. Along the way, he told me what he’d been doing for the last two weeks and how the pack members wanted me back so they could make up for the treatment they had given me. And I wanted nothing more than to come home with him, and start to get to know the pack that one day would be mine too. "Uriel, that man who kicked and hurt you, apologized for the way he treated you and said he was blinded and was just following my father’s order. He asked for another chance." Aeon said in a calm tone. "And what did you do?" I asked, biting my bottom lip. I had no idea how I would move on from that one. "I can’t. I could punish him, make him suffer, but I know that no matter what I
AEON. Tonight is a full moon. This would be my first full moon run with Alexa. But this was also her first full-moon run with her family. In fact, this would be her first run with other wolves, except for Thunder, so I knew why she was so agitated the whole day leading up to tonight. "Relax..." I rubbed my hands against the skin of her arms as I stood behind her. We were already inside the forest grounds and were just waiting for Adan to give his instructions before we could shift. Despite the cold weather, everyone was just in their shirts and shorts, ready to strip off at any time now. Only Jenny had a coat on her because Sebastian didn’t want their baby to be affected by the cold. This was Jenny’s first time in extremely cold weather, and Sebastian was being overly protective. Alexa was also cold, but I told her to let Serenity warm her up, and in no time, she was getting comfortable with the temperature. She’s a winter wolf - she could adapt well in this weather. "So…" Adan cl
AEON. The early morning, crisp, cold air was filling my lungs in a good way as I sat on the bleacher railings. My gaze was locked on Alexa. She was doing her morning sparring with a group of female warriors in the outdoor training grounds. Despite her wearing a light thermal training jacket and thighs that covered her whole body, she was still breathtaking to look at. She was like a pop of color in this cold place. Aside from her physical beauty, she was indeed a sight to see while in combat. Her skills had improved tremendously. She was moving around gracefully, and yet she was fast and flexible — something that must have run in her genes. And the attention given to her to perfect her skills was overwhelming. In no time, I was sure she would be better in combat than her Beta Female. I watched her wink at me before she positioned herself and made a 360-degree kick in the air as she started a new set of drills. She was beautiful in every sense, and the more I looked at her, the mo
ALEXA. The moment we entered the territory, my heart started thudding loudly, and I blamed it on the fact that I was nervous about meeting this pack again. I knew they didn’t have a choice but to accept me because their Alpha wanted them to. I just hoped they would not give me cold shoulders where Aeon could see it. I didn’t want Aeon to worry that his pack didn’t like me. He has many things to think about, and I didn’t want my presence to be an added problem for him. "Where are we heading?" I asked, my brows furrowing as my gaze trailed down the path we were driving down. I have never been in and out of the territory a lot, but on the occasions that I did, I always came in and came out at the same border exit. I already memorized the road leading to the pack house. Because at one point, I was planning to run away, so I knew what I was looking at now was not the same path I knew. "To the packhouse. Our home." Aeon winked at me as he squeezed my hand. "No. This is not the way to th

So when the opportunity was presented, I took advantage and grabbed it.Heading the Council was something I never saw in my future, but after my experience with Clair and what happened with my sweet Catherine, I couldn't turn a blind eye anymore.

Author’s Name - Females’ will be addressed by the Goddess using their maiden names (just because she wanted to) :D SELENE’S POV (The Moon Goddess). My Females. My lovely Females. I couldn’t control my wolves once they were on earth and allowed to use their free will to rule their own species. And most of the time, they would always end up hurting me. But nothing hurt me more than when my females were used as a bargaining chips. Whether they are Alpha Females or Omegas, whatever their ranks, they are my females and I expect nothing less for them. They deserved to be respected for their own choices. But my wolves kept failing me from time to time. The Claiming was something I never dreamed of for my Alpha Females, but I couldn’t do anything except do my part and find a good mate strong enough to fight for their females. And some of these men didn’t fail me. But a lot did. But I hoped that one day, my wolves would wake up and give these females the respect they deserved. I wa
Ten Years after the Alpha and Luna Ceremony.ALEXA.My hands smoothed over Amara’s hair as I carefully fixed her long blonde hair into a high ponytail. I was sitting on a vanity chair with my eight-year-old princess on my lap and my four-year-old little boy playing on the floor just beside where my feet were.We had a few guests coming over to discuss the business plans that we were about to embark on at the Black Shadow Pack territory. This has been Clair’s dream, and with the help of our Alphas, it would soon become a reality.Clair had always wanted to build a school for werewolves within their territory so that the pups of their pack would never have to travel far just to get a formal education. When Caspian, Riley, and Aeon heard of the plans, they immediately wanted to go for it.The reason: their daughters.They desired a safe environment for their daughters to attend school, as well as the freedom to develop their full potential without having to hide their identities.So the
ALEXA. "Hammond, come to Auntie Alexa… I got some broccoli for you!" I wiggled the little bowl I was holding with broccoli cut into thin slices inside. Hammond, Holly and Krane’s son, was almost one-and-a-half years old and had a really big appetite for vegetables that I was having fun feeding him from time to time. Little Hammond clapped his hands as he beamed and trudged his way to me with a smiling Holly following behind him. I extended my hands and lifted him up before placing him on my lap, and he immediately started munching on the broccoli his hand was able to grab. Today is my baby shower and a gender reveal. Although all signs were pointing to a female, we still wanted to be sure since I didn’t want to buy a neutral color for her clothes. Not that I am against neutral colors, but a part of me wishes I could be a mother to a female the way my mother could have been to me if she had been given the chance and the luxury to do so. Hammond started to fidget on my lap and his mo
Two Years After the Alpha and Luna CeremonySIERRA. I just turned eighteen yesterday, and Kallan was preparing to head off to the Blood Moon territory for the baby shower for Luna Alexa. I’ve been wanting to tag along but I didn’t know if Kallan would be okay with it, so I waited until this morning to ask him, but like always, I get tongue-tied whenever it comes to asking if I could go with him to Alpha Aeon’s territory because I dreaded the next question - Why?Because I had no idea what to answer if he asked again.I couldn’t tell him that my eyes were delighted to see the Gamma in that pack. Edward never spoke to me again for the next two years after being cocky towards me on the first day we met.I would see him glancing my way and nodding his head in acknowledgment, but he never made an effort to speak with me. I, on the other hand, did try, but he would always go and turn around, remembering things he needed to do.But I saw how his eyes lit up at the sight of me. Or the smile
AEON. I leaned my body against the pillars of the doorway in front of the packhouse, watching as Holly and some of the Omega females fixed everything we needed to take inside the car. I already smelled Alexa, and I knew soon she would be here asking questions. I had already been up since six o’clock in the morning, and since Alexa didn’t have anything scheduled for this morning, she decided to sleep more, which was convenient for me for the things I had in mind for today. "What’s going on? Why is there no one in the dining room?" She asked at the same time I heard little footsteps approaching. I didn’t turn around and instead slipped a hand inside my shorts pocket. "What are they doing?" She stopped beside me, her eyes gazing at Holly by the car in the pack house grounds. "Good morning, love." I greeted her instead of answering her questions before I moved from leaning against the wall and pecked her temples. "Where is Holly going? Have you eaten breakfast?" "We had an early bre
ALEXA. My legs swayed back and forth as I sat on the balcony railings on the third floor, facing the wide packhouse grounds below and the view far ahead. The wind blew against my skin, its cold air enveloping my whole body as the moon lit me wonderfully, cascading its glorious light on me. I felt like a goddess, a queen, sitting on her throne, which was this beautiful railing that has been my favorite spot for the last few days now. Aeon was still in a night meeting at his office with the Alpha Circle. They wanted to keep saying they were having meetings, but the Lunas knew they were just spending time teasing and annoying each other at least once a week. Not that I was complaining. In fact, I was happy he was able to reconnect with them. It made the loss of Argon easier for him with his friends around him. As for me, it has been months since my father died at the hands of my mate. Did I have any regrets? No. Although his death wouldn’t change anything in the past, with him gone
