SLADEShe hates me. I see it in her eyes when she looks at me. That spark was gone, and in its place is a sadness that made my heart bleed. I’d not left her side except when I needed to shower or eat, but even in her subconscious, she’d recoiled from my touch whenever I tried any physical contact. I closed my eyes as I remembered the condition I’d seen her in when I got to the underground apartment they’d been keeping her. Sapphire crossed the line this time. It had been a secret house where I hid some of my men during the days of my invasion. Only a few men knew of its existence and it had been the last place I’d thought to look. My brilliant mate had given me the clue as to where I’d find her. When I decided to stop invading packs after Lakewood, I’d asked Lennox to destroy the place, but apparently, he hadn’t done that. He’d had a different plan up his sleeves. I’d thought sapphire to be a smart ass, but she clearly isn’t as smart as I remember. It took me a few seconds to reco

ARIATwo days later, the doctor discharged me and confirmed my child is perfectly okay. An ultrasound also revealed that we are expecting a boy and Slade gave me an I-told-you-so look. Things were still strained between us but in all the days I was at the hospital, not once did he leave my bedside except when he wanted a shower, and in each case, he made sure someone was there with me and returned with utmost speed.Our ride back to the penthouse was mostly quiet. My eyes were trained on the road while Slade was constantly glancing at me with a worried expression that I pretended not to notice. He didn’t try to make any form of conversation though and I was grateful for it. He helped me out of the vehicle when we finally stopped in front of the penthouse, but I pulled my hands away from his as soon as I could and didn’t say a word. I took a shower first, slipped into my night clothes, and headed straight to bed.It was a few minutes later that he joined me in bed. He’d gone to do

My hands froze mid-air, my eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. Slade’s eyes returned to their original color, his gaze darting to my hands and back to my face, surprise clearly written in them. I’d never raised my hands on anybody apart from my bullies in the past, and I never thought a day will come when I’ll raise it against my mate, and an alpha for that matter. I swallowed, withdrawing my hands and shoving it behind me. I didn’t know what to do or say at that point, but I know I’ll not apologize for attempting to hit him. Sorry is not a word you’ll find in Slade’s dictionary, and I guess I had to erase it from mine whenever he was involved.“Are you trying to hit me, mate?” he quirked a brow and stressed on the word ‘mate’. I’d expected him to be angry, but he had an amused expression on his face and a smirk on his lips. I swallowed and snapped my mouth shut, shaking my head vigorously.“I-I-“ I stuttered, fixing my eyes to his chest instead of his face. I closed my eyes and

My gaze remained fixed to the door several minutes after he closed it behind him. Xaria wanted me to stop him from leaving, but I could not bring myself to do so considering I’d been the one to ask him to leave in the first place. I was learning things about my mate I didn’t know of, the kind of things I only thought were possible in books and movies, and I wasn’t sure how to react to it. I have spent many months in this bed with Slade, but hearing him tell me about his past made me feel like we were total strangers. ‘You wanted him to open up to us, and that is what he is trying to do, yet you push him away,’ Xaria murmured. I sighed, trying to put a wall between us. Xaria could never stay mad at her mate, no matter the situation. She’d felt betrayed after we learnt of his curse, she’d been angry with him, but she got over it really fast, throwing caution to the wind and admonishing me to go to him. Truthfully, Xaria had been more worried about losing her mate than acknowledging his

“Do we really need all these?” I grumbled when Luna Evelyn added another handful of baby items into the cart.“Of course we do,” she beamed, rubbing her palms together and scanning the mall for more things to buy. “Aha,” she raised one finger in the air, pointing at something else. Before I could turn fully to see what it was she had seen, she dashed in the direction she’d pointed. I rolled my eyes and wheeled the cart to the check out point. There were about six people before me, but they stepped out of the way for me to go ahead of them with warm smiles on their faces. I thanked them and when the cashier looked up and saw me, she all but got out frantically from her seat, signaling another of her colleague to come help her out to hasten the calculations so I could leave. I’d gotten a phone amongst other things, but I wasn’t freaked about it. I guess I’d gotten used to not having one.“Luna Aria,” her colleague summoned the courage to speak directly to me, and I saw the other gir

I tapped on the door once, and without waiting for a reply, I barged into his office. Slade had a man by his collar, lifted mid-air, his legs thrashing in the air. He released the man as soon as he saw me, straightening to his full height while the man scurried to escape from the alpha. “I-I didn’t know you were coming,” he rolled his sleeves down slowly, buttoning one after another carefully. I’d not visited his office in a long time, and I noticed nothing had changed since I was last here. My desk still remained the way I’d left it at the far end of his office. The only difference was the untidy state of his own desk. It wasn’t unusual for his desk to be scattered with a lot of paper work, but there were more files on his desk than usual. I wonder how he can deal with all of this and still find time to look into Sapphire and Lennox’s whereabouts.I’d noticed more freedom now than before. He passed a strict warning to every member of Dark Wolf that I wasn’t allowed out of the pack

I went to see Allegra the next day. She was beside her table, as usual, mixing some potions, and the stench hung in the air. Her eyes darted up to meet mine as soon as I entered and she smiled warmly at me.“Luna Aria,” she says smiling “I was expecting you,”“Allegra,” I greeted casually, leaning against the door as soon as I shut it close. Slade had not opposed to me coming to see Allegra this time as was the case in the past. He even had Marcel drive me here because he was tied up with pack matters. They were preparing for war. After our conversation yesterday, he’d assembled the warriors and had a talk with them. Lennox used to be the head warrior and now that he had betrayed them, Marcel and another guy whose name I still haven’t gotten a hold of were to lead the training. He’d warned against traitors, and promised death to whoever is caught. After what happened, I know his trust level even for members of his pack dwindled, but Slade had everything under control. He does it

I rolled on my side and opened my eyes slowly, feeling the bed to find Slade’s side empty. He was still sleeping in the other room, but I had a feeling he’d not come to the penthouse the night before. He must have been engrossed in all the trainings and all the work he’d pushed over while he was with me at the hospital.I groaned, pulling myself up with one hand on my stomach. When my eyes met the clock, I gasped. It was almost midday. I hurried to take a bath, determined to go to the training field to watch the warriors train, but Gwyn came bearing my food first. “Good Morning Aria. I came earlier but you were still fast asleep,” she smiled at me. I thanked her and we made little talks about what has been happening in the pack. I resolved to join the others in the kitchen to prepare the meals for those in training, but Gwyn told me the alpha wanted to see me first. I dressed up casually and went to his office. His workers were busy but they stopped to greet me and acknowledge my

I opened my eyes slowly to find Slade watching me and a small blush crept up my cheeks. “Why are you awake?” I asked him with a sleepy voice.“Just wondering what I did to get so lucky,” He smiled at me. “And you can go back to sleep, your mom is attending to Zion already,”I have gotten used to waking up at this time to feed my baby, but I had the night off today. It’s been three days after the mating ceremony and I have had to deal with a lot after that. We were also moving into a bigger house. Slade thought the penthouse wasn’t big enough to start a family which is just off considering how large it is. He wants Zion to have the best.Now that we share a mate bond, communication was easier between us. When I was overwhelmed, he’d feel it too, and did everything he could to make me feel better. He was a great dad to his son, and many packs were sending in gifts every day since the birth of Zion, wanting a form of friendship with Dark Wolf.Sapphire was sentenced to death, but only a

ARIA“You look so adorable,” my mom wiped her eyes with the back of her hands as she stared at me “Reminds me of when I married your dad. We didn’t have an elaborate wedding, but it was the best day of my life. Everyone thought I was crazy for marrying him, but it’s the one thing I know I did right and I’d walk down the aisle with him again if I had to,” she finished.“Mom,” I fought back the tears that threatened to fall to my cheeks. Luna Evelyn specifically warned me not to ruin my makeup, and I didn’t want to have to listen to her complain if I did the exact thing she warned me not to do.Today is the mating ceremony. The day I become Luna of Dark Wolf pack, and the day I have dreamed of since I set eye on my mate. It’s funny how much things have changed, almost unbelievable.I didn’t have any expectations coming to dark wolf, but I started to have expectations as the days passed. Expectations that I didn’t expect to come through. I’d hoped my mate will come to love me, but I’d al

SLADE“What happens to Sapphire?” My beta asked me. Since she was pregnant, I knew the council will not put her to death until the baby comes, but she’d lost her right eye completely and could not clearly see with her left. I don’t deny that I want her dead though, and by my hands. After all she did to my mate and my pack, she does not deserve to live. We’d lost several warriors and it saddened me. In all my years as Alpha, I’d not witnessed so much loss in my pack, even during the days of my invasion. My heart was heavy, but the thought of my son brought me joy. People were beginning to ask questions since many of them expected me to die. I did not just survive a curse, but also a silver bullet. I sighed, my right hands reaching up to clutch my chest while I drove with my other free hand. I needed to make a stop at the dungeon where Sapphire was being held and then to Allegra’s hut. I also know I need to address the members of Dark Wolf tonight. I had meetings with the council as w

ARIAI tore my eyes from my baby and turned to my mate. He was smiling down at me while our child slept peacefully. I’d gone into labour at thirty-two weeks, earlier than the doctor had predicted but my baby was surprisingly healthy. A full-breed werewolf would carry a child for six months, but as an hybrid, I was expected to carry my pregnancy for nine months, but my little boy had come out at thirty-two weeks. It’s been almost twenty four hours since I put to bed and I was not to be discharged until tomorrow. Slade has been beside me, only leaving my side to take his own medications. He was healing, the doctor had said, but he still had a bandage around his chest. It wasn’t hard to see that he was obsessed with this child. In the last twenty-four hours, Slade barely allowed anyone near him, not even those who’d come bearing gifts.There was still a lot going on in the pack after the fight. Dark Wolf had won but with many casualties. Audrey helped in taking care of the sick as I was

MARCEL“The hunters have fled the pack,” Alpha Hance informed me through mind link “They are outnumbered, but they still pose a threat,” he says.“We need the prisoners back in the dungeons. Every one of them that survived,” I tell him back.“Many of them have gone into hiding. Where the fuck are you and where the fuck is Slade. Alive I hope?” He asked with a concerned voice. I didn’t respond but cut off the mind link instead. How can I explain the situation to him? Someone needs to keep things going out there. Daryl was dead and Sapphire had been apprehended. From the way Aria disfigured her eyes, it’s unlikely that she will be able to see again. She’d still face judgment by the council, but her recruits were not backing off. It seems like some of the packs that agreed to work with her had ideas of their own. While many have surrendered and others fled, some of the packs were still going on with the war even though they were clearly outnumbered. Our warriors were not backing down,

ARIA“Slade!! No!” I screamed, wrenching my arms away from the man that still had his gun trained on me.“I swear I’ll shoot-“ I didn’t hear the rest of what he was saying as I rushed towards Slade, but Sapphire threw herself in my way, blocking me from reaching him. I heard gunshots behind me, then Marcel’s voice. When I turned, the man who had his gun trained at me was laying lifeless on the floor, and Marcel had Daryl by the neck, the two of them battling each other. Sapphire gripped my hair, pulling it hard, but I didn’t feel the pain from her hold. The only pain I felt was seeing Slade lay lifeless on the floor. I hit her jaw with my elbow and dodged a blow she aimed at me. I haven’t done a lot of training but I have watched the warriors train countless times. I’d watched Sapphire train and I was able to predict her next move. I saw her lunge for the gun on the floor, and I moved fast, kicking it out of the way. She rolled on top of me, punching me hard on the face before going

SLADEI clawed at the wolf in front of me while trying to shake off the one on my back. He fell to the floor and using my hind legs, I pinned him to the ground, making sure to finish off the first wolf before returning to him. Four others approached me with speed. My wolf was covered in blood, but I wasn’t tired. I took them down, one after the other but sustained an injury on my right side. I knew I had a lot of enemies, but Sapphire had gone overboard to bring them together. Even the warriors of Cross Shadow were involved, the pack I’d refused to join Dark Wolf. I wasn’t surprised, because I knew Sapphire was preparing herself and taking her time. What surprised me was that she’d sold us to the werewolf hunters.I felt a mind link coming through and I connected to Marcel while fighting off the last wolf.“We have another problem, Slade,” My beta tells me through mind link. I could hear him panting, his hard breath indicating he was fighting off an enemy.“What is it?” I asked him,

Of all the things Sapphire said, I knew she was right about one. Slade will not kill her if what she says is true, but then she isn’t going to walk out of Dark Wolf a free woman either. That much is certain. I stared at the phone in my hands many minutes after the call ended, pacing the living room and trying to calm my seething beast. There’s no way Slade expects me to sit here and not know what is going on out there, especially after the call I just received. The penthouse was full of members of the pack, young and old, and several warriors stationed inside and outside, and I know these guards will not let me out since Slade instructed it. I was getting frustrated as the sounds of gunshots continued outside. I was scared. I cursed when I felt a vibration again only to realize it was Slade’s phone this time. I picked up without hesitation, listening to hear the voice on the other end before speaking.“Alpha Slade, are you there?” A deep husky voice asked.“This is his mate. What’s

The crowd dispersed in chaos, everyone running to shelter. Silver bullets, the type that’ll kill a werewolf in seconds. My wolf recognized the scent as it filled the air. The screams of women and children, men trying to protect their wives filled everywhere. “Sapphire,” I muttered under my breath. It could only be her. She chose the right time. “Take them inside and keep them safe, Marcel,” Slade turned to his beta, handing me and Audrey over to him. “No,” I and Audrey chorused at the same time. Many guards had surrounded us, protecting their alpha and his heir. “Aria, Listen to me. I don’t have time to argue with you. You are carrying my baby. You have to be safe,” “So you expect me to just sit inside and do nothing?” I asked. “I’m not pregnant, I can fight,” Audrey said stubbornly. Slade groaned. He glanced at the men around us, and next thing I know, I’m being lifted off my feet. Myself and Audrey were taken into the house, along with many orders. Slade was gone in seconds as
