Trinity POV

Music fills the air, along with the cheers of the room full of guests.  The aroma of delicious food swirls around us, while the gold and black decorations sparkle under the lights, celebrating my wedding and symbolizing our names. 

I sit at the head table with my family and some of the wedding party as I scan the area.  I can’t hold back the wide smile and my laughter as I watch my silly but dashing husband dance.  His black tuxedo gives him that little extra flair to make him look like a model, and his shiny black hair shimmers under the strobe lights. 

Warmth fills my chest.  I’m the luckiest woman alive. 

But it doesn’t stop the nagging feeling I’ve had all day long.  I can’t put my finger on it.  Something just feels off. 

I’m probably just being paranoid after all the recent rogue attacks and scuffles we’ve had with other packs and the Lycans. 

I push the annoying feeling to the back of my mind. 

A young, cheery server walks up to the table in front of me.  With a bright smile, she hands me a drink.  “A glass of champagne for the bride.”

My smile falters a bit as I tilt my head and stare at the glass in her hand.  “Doesn’t the entire wedding party and family get a glass too?  I’m assuming this is for the upcoming toasts we are doing.”

Still smiling, she shakes her head.  “No.  I was instructed to only provide one glass to the bride and the other one to the groom.”

Only two glasses.  That is weird. 

She places the glass on the table in front of me and adds, “There will be another glass of a different champagne for the toasts.”

What?  That doesn’t make any sense. 

I tilt my head back in the other direction and look up at her.  “Why will you give me another glass?  One should be good enough.”

Her smile widens, and she shakes her head.  Her blonde ponytail sways from side to side.  “No.  I’ve been told the bride and groom must drink this glass first, before the champagne for the toast.”  She leans in and whispers, “I’ve been told this is for good luck.”

Good luck. 

Who in their right mind would put their judgement and future on some luck and, likely, a superstition?

I go to protest, but she turns and dashes away before I can say anything. 

The uneasy feeling I had earlier comes back.  My gaze goes back to the bubbly drink in front of me. 

My eyebrows furrow together as I contemplate whether to drink it. 

“Trinity!” 

My head whips up, and my gaze meets my husband’s dark eyes, which sparkle as he lifts his champagne glass in the air and motions for me to do the same.  The corner of his mouth curves upward, almost in a smirk.

Again, I push the uneasy feeling away.  This is my wedding.  What could possibly happen? 

A smile slides across my face, and I pick up the glass, leaning my head towards him.  His friend nudges his arm, and he spins around towards him.  He downs his glass in one go while continuing to dance and party. 

My hand slowly lowers back down to the table. 

My brother, beside me, nudges my arm.  “Aren’t you going to drink it?  The lady said it is to bring you good luck with your marriage.”

I glance to my side at him and pause for a moment.  Don’t tell me he believes in this, too.

“My dear sister, you better drink it if you want this position?  You have already agreed with father’s order to marry a man you don’t know and who isn’t your fated mate.  All for gaining the Alpha title.  Now see who is the greedy one.” 

He slowly looks me up and down.  A look of disgust fills his gaze.  “You are even using your body to please Drake, and in turn, you are using him to secure your title.”

What the heck?  I’m not using Drake to secure my position, nor am I using my body.  Even without the marriage, I would get the alpha title.  He knows that. 

I shake my head.  “Trent, father is doing what he thinks is the best for the pack and following our traditions.  He has ruled our pack for over thirty years, and he is still our Alpha.  I can’t help it if I was born first.”

I spin in my seat to face him.  His victorious look fuels my growing frustrations.  “If this marriage strengthens our alliance with Dark Moon pack, I will do whatever I can to improve our pack, as an Alpha heir.”  I pour all my growing irritation into my last two words, drilling home that I’m the heir.

I hate to be this petty, but he is pushing me to it.  Plus, he wouldn’t go to these extremes to make sure the pack grows and prospers.

His eyes narrow, and our eyes lock.  “You really believe that this farce of a marriage will improve our pack?  Ha.  Neither Drake nor his stupid pack would help us defend our land and people against the Lycan.  Lycans are beasts.  If they want to be in power, they can do it any time they want.  We need to gather our warriors and attack them immediately.  This is a waste of time playing around with some stupid wedding drama.”  

He will never learn.  You can’t go charging in on someone else’s land and attack them because you don’t like how they handle things, or you think they are a threat.  Now, if they do something to warrant a preemptive strike, that is a different story, but the Lycans haven’t done anything to us. 

He is basing his whole dislike for them on rumors.  As alphas, we can’t do anything because of a rumor.  We must have solid evidence first.

He knows this.

His eyes darken as he leans in towards me and hisses, “You know what Drake will do after marrying you, the alpha heir?” 

I meet his glare and return one of my own.  “I’m sure you will tell me.”

His upper lip twitches as he growls, “Sacrifice our pack for his!”

He grabs his short tumbler glass half full of a dark liquid and downs it in one gulp.  The smell of whiskey drifts in between us.  He tightens his grip around the tumbler and almost slams it back down on the table while we continue our silent staring war.   

With a grunt, he bolts up and storms out of the hall. 

I watch him disappear through the far doors, hoping it will ease my frustrations, but it doesn’t. 

Why does he have to be like this? 

I know he was hoping father would ignore our tradition of the firstborn being the heir and select him instead, but father didn’t.  He upheld our customs and announce me as the alpha heir. 

This is also the first time in our pack’s history an alpha has had a girl as his firstborn.  For generations, the alphas have only had boy pups.  The pack was so surprised when my father announced I was a girl.  The elders immediately began combing through the ancient texts and journals, looking for another incident of this happening before, but they couldn’t find one.    

Throughout my childhood, an uncertainty has hung over me.  Will I actually become the next alpha?

I know my existence deprives Trent of his alpha future.  But as a leader, Trent is too young and warlike.  Father knows my brother would lead our warriors to challenge the Lycans once he was in power, but our pack doesn’t have enough soldiers to win a battle on that magnitude.  The Lycans would outnumber us 10 to 1.  Plus, they are stronger and better fighters than us.

We would lose everything.   

I scoot my chair back and glance around the table at the others.  “I think I need some air.  If anyone needs me, I’ll be outside on the patio.”

My eyes drop to the champagne glass.  Should I take it? 

Well, Drake has already drank his. 

The young lady’s words dance in my head.  It is for good luck. 

I sigh. 

There is nothing to lose. 

Without thinking about it again, I take the glass and walk away. 

Maybe someday, Trent will mature enough to understand you must think about the pack first, instead of yourself and your own needs, even on your wedding day. 

As soon as I step out the door and onto the patio, I take a deep breath, letting the cool night air fill my lungs.  A soft breeze whips around me, making the satin white fabric of my wedding dress flutter, while the cool air tickles my bare arms and shoulders. 

I empty my mind and enjoy the calmness as I walk across the small patio to the metal railing.  With the champagne glass still in my grasp, I stop and look up at the clear night sky.  A quarter of the moon shines bright, almost twinkling. 

Am I doing the right thing? 

I hope the moon goddess agrees with my decision. 

I glance back over my shoulder and look into the ballroom through the glass panes in the door.  Everyone is still having fun and enjoying themselves.  No one even knows I’m outside. 

The door suddenly opens, and my best friend Bethany walks outside in her beautiful flowing royal blue maid of honor dress with a large bag slung over her shoulder.  “I thought I would find out here.  I’ve brought the bag you asked for.  Why do you need a change of clothes at your wedding?  It doesn’t make any sense.”

I snort and shake my head.  “Just to be on the safe side.  Thanks.  I greatly appreciate it.  Plus, this big wedding dress is starting to get uncomfortable.  A pair of jeans sounds so much better right now.”

She shakes her head.  “Can you not be in alpha mode for once?  This is your wedding, and you should be enjoying it.”

I shrug my shoulders and take the bag from her.  “I can’t help it.  It won’t be long, and I’ll be the Alpha.”

She spins around and leans up against the railing.  “It feels so weird having a female alpha.  I keep wanting to call you luna instead of alpha.  I’m sure I’m not alone either.”

I nod.  “I’m sure you aren’t, but I’m the firstborn and it is tradition.  The moon goddess has a reason for this, but we won’t know right now.  In time, it will become clear.”

A faint, distant howl rings out. 

I stiffen and stand tall, perking my ears and straining to hear it again. 

A few seconds later, another faint howl rings out. 

My heart slams hard against my chest.  I whip my head around and stare at Bethany’s wide eyes. 

Nothing is coming through the pack link, but I know what I’m hearing.  That is our call when there is an intruder or someone has been attacked. 

I guzzle down the champagne and set the glass on the railing before I dart to the side of the building behind some tall shrubs.  Within seconds, I’m out of the dress and have shifted into my wolf.  I stop for only a moment and give Bethany a look before I bolt off into the forest with the bag slung around my neck.   

I dart around the trees and over boulders as fast as I can.  Every few minutes, the faint howl rings out again. 

The hotel and the city disappear behind me. 

I knew this was going to happen.  Why didn’t I pay attention to that annoying uneasy feeling I’ve had all day? 

Keeping my focus on the forest in front of me, I dodge around a low-lying branch and jump over a fallen tree.

The distinct howl rings out again, but this time it is behind me. 

My paws dig into the soil, and I come to an abrupt halt. 

Wait.  I know I haven’t run past it yet.  I’m fast, but not that fast.  I haven’t been running for that long. 

I spin around and catapult forward, but I only take a few steps before a group of werewolves jump out of the brush and block my path. 

What the heck? 

They are my own pack members. 

Before I have time to figure out what is happening, they lunge forward and attack me.

Obviously, whatever was in that glass cut her off from her entire pack & husband! She should've trusted her 1st instinct! W/the argument, I believe her "brother" set her & her husband up! Why did she trust him, when she knew exactly what he wanted & knew your death would be the only way 2 get it?!

    Trinity POV My body aches, and my muscles burns, but I can’t give up yet. The sound of paws pounding against the forest floor and chasing behind me propels me to keep pushing forward. My mind is in a total chaos, trying to figure out what is going on and how things have gotten to this point, but I can’t think about it right now. The only thing I need to think about right now is how to get out of this mess, and fast. My heart hammers against my chest, while the adrenaline pulses through my veins and keeps me moving forward. With the sound of my attackers behind me and echoing in my ears, I dart over the top of a hill. A small sense of relief washes over me when a city comes into view. The distant lights twinkle as if they are signaling to me I’ll be safe there. For the last countless hours, I’ve been so focused on trying to get away from these crazy people that I don’t even know which town this is, but that isn’t important. The city means there is more of a chance to hid

Along the way, I tell my friends through the mind-link that I have to go without providing them any details. I then block the link and speed back home and to the hospital.This is the first time in years that I’m going back home on my own, and I’m not being forced to go back by my father for something ‘important’. After I turned 18, I left and seldom came back. As I dart in and out of traffic, I let the doctor know I’m coming. When I round the corner and the hospital comes into view, the doctors and nurses are already waiting outside. I come to a screeching halt right in front of the staff. But before I can open my door, the staff rushes to the passenger’s side and gently pulls the injured wolf out. I bolt out of the vehicle. A surge of anxiety rushes th

I tilt my head and stomp my foot. My confusion continues when my foot hits something hard, but I can’t see whatever it is. I take a deep breath as questions swirls through my head. Wait. There is absolutely no scent or smell at all in the air either or a breeze. What is going on?Reluctantly, I take a small step forward, testing to make sure I won’t suddenly fall through the darkness. I breathe a small sigh of relief when again, my foot settles on something hard. But what is it? A flicker of light pulls my attention up and to the image in front of me. It is me in my wedding dress. The long flowing white satin fabric glistens under the lights at the church, while the soft fabric hugs my body and shows off my curves. I remember this. It has happened only a few hours earlier. That is if this is right after

    Lance POV I stand in front of my father’s office door, but no matter how I try, I can’t bring myself to knock. Dread creeps over me, and I’m frozen on the spot. What does he want? I don’t fear anything but my father. He is the only person who has the power to defeat me, but his disappointing looks are what hurts me the most. I know he has wanted me to take over for him, but he has agreed to allow me to spend some time exploring the world on my own before I take the crown. A part of me hopes he will skip me and put my younger brother on the throne instead, but I wouldn’t be so lucky. An image of the injured blonde wolf flashes through my mind. I take a deep breath and raise my hand. Knock. Knock. My father’s curt voice bellows, “Come in. You have been waiting out there long enough.” Gulp. I can do this. Before I lose my courage, I walk into his office. “You called for me.” My father looks up from his desk and the various piles of papers scattered across it. H

    Trinity POV A slight ache pulses down the middle of my head, but it isn’t anywhere close to the agonizing pain I was feeling earlier. I keep my eyes shut, hoping it will go away. To my frustrations, the slight ache continues. Tentatively, I open my eyes. I’m still in the same place as before. Where exactly is it? Why am I here? Am I stuck in some kind of limbo? Do I need to do something before I can go somewhere else? Questions continue to roll through my mind. My breath hitches. Where is my wolf? She hasn’t said anything or moved around. Where is she? I couldn’t have been injured so badly that my wolf retreated into the shadows. An alpha should always hear their wolf, no matter how injured you are. Fear washes over me. No. I can’t lose my wolf. That would be the end of me. A bright light flashes in front of me. I quickly squint and hold my hand out in front of my face, shielding myself. The light dims and another image, like before, appears in front of

    Lance POV My heart races as the doctor pauses for a moment. “Maybe we should go into her room.” I nod and turn towards the end of the hall. My feet move a little faster than normal, but I fight against it and keep a steady pace alongside the doctor. Once inside the room, the doctor shuts the door. As soon as he turns towards me, I practically pounce on him. “What is it, doc? Did something bad happen, or is she not going to recover?” He shakes his head. “It isn’t anything like that. I think we’ve gotten her identity figured out. There were several posts online about a wedding happening over in New Moon pack with their first ever female alpha heir to a guy from Dark Moon pack. I can do some more digging, but since there are very few female alphas with this strong of alpha blood, I can assume this injured wolf is her.” I glance across the room at the hospital bed and the unconscious blonde wolf. “I would agree with you. Did you hear about anything or what happened?” “Sor

    Lance POV Like I’ve been doing for the last few days, I march into the hospital and towards the private room. People scurry out of my way as my heavy footsteps echo through the halls. Just like every other time, the closer I get to Trinity’s room my frustrations and anger slowly melt away. I still can’t explain what is happening to me, but I know for sure I’m not liking it. My cold exterior is what I use to put fear into others. If I don’t have that, how can I rule as the king. A king should be feared by all. My father is. As I approach the nurse’s station, a young nurse dashes towards me. “Prince! Something has happened!” I immediately stop and whip my focus around towards her and bark, “What?” Fear flashes across her face, and she stumbles to a stop. Quickly, she lowers her head and soft mumbles, “She has shifted.” I shake my head. “What? Who has shifted?” My lip twitches up in irritation. Her hand trembles as she raises it up and points down the hall. “Trin…”

    Lance POV This can’t be possible. I blink, but it doesn’t change. I run my bloody finger along the deep gouge on Trinity’s cheek and my chest tightens. My father steps closer to the bed and grunts, “What is it? Did something go wrong?” My eyes widen and drift over to him. The words to explain it run through my head, but when I open my mouth nothing comes out. They are stuck on the lump in my throat. I move my mouth, but still nothing comes out. Confusion flashes across my father’s face. His patience runs thin as he barks, “Tell me what is going on.” His command has me instinctively responding as I mumble, “It is gone.” His face scrunches up as he stares at me. “What is gone? I don’t understand.” He turns his attention back to Trinity and slaps my hand away from her, before sliding his thumb over the area where the deep cut had been. He instantly realizes what I’m referring to and snaps his eyes back up to me and gasps, “The cut. It is gone.” In a daze, I nod.

    Trinity POV *** Two years later *** “You look amazing.” A smile erupts from me as I turn and face my parents and brother while they walk into the bedroom. Bright smiles adorn my parents’ faces and my brother cracks a small grin, which I’m still not used to seeing. Through the years growing up, he usually would carry a look of frustration and irritation when dealing with me. But now, he has slowly won the pack over, and they have accepted him as the pack’s alpha. It wasn’t a small thing, either. A few of the pack members held out for what felt like forever. In the end, his heroic actions in various battles, including saving a group of small children, won them over. They couldn’t deny it any longer. My brother deserves the alpha title. His continued effort to improve his alpha skills and knowledge has also helped show everyone he is the right person for the job. I carefully step forward, making sure not to step on the floor length ornate robe. “You made it. I’m so hap

    Lance POVMy heart pounds as fear consumes me. It isn’t time yet. The baby shouldn’t be coming now. Something is wrong. I know it. With Trinity in my arms, I run through the mansion towards the front door. The doctors had been preparing a special delivery room in the mansion, so she wouldn’t have to leave. But it isn’t ready yet. They thought they had more time. “UGH!!!!” Her body tightens in my arms while her hands cradle her stomach. Pain, like I’ve never felt before, shoots through our bond and my body. My knees almost buckle as her scream echoes down the hall. I’ve been in plenty of battles and have been wounded many times, but this almost stops me in my tracks. I’ve already told the medical staff we are coming. My gaze stays focused ahead as a couple of staff walk into the hall. I shout, “Open the door!”Bethany and her parents run beside me. Bethany caresses the top of Trinity’s head. “Everything will be alright. They know what they are doing. You are in the b

    Trinity POV “How are you doing? You are smiling. Does it mean things are going well?” I ease down in the dining room chair across the table from Bethany. My hand caresses the side of my large baby bump. I almost thought there were two in there, but the doctor has proved to me there is only one, really large pup. A shiver runs through my body. Hopefully, there won’t be any complications when the time comes. Bethany glances up from her plate of breakfast food and nods. “Luckily, things are going better. I’m still not able to eat with everyone in the dining hall, but the doctor thinks I can ease myself into it soon. One good sign is seeing the male staff doesn’t cause me to flinch anymore. I’m so thankful for the King allowing his friend to come and help me. When the doctor first arrived, I was too afraid of him, and all men. But I’m so much better now.” She has come a long way but has so much farther to go. Her scars are deep. “Good. Regardless of where you are at, I wi

Muffled screams of agony seep out from under the solid metal door, while the determination in her gaze never wavers and stays strong. Our heavy footsteps echo through the corridor, signaling the end is coming soon. In a hushed tone, I huff, “I’ll handle the interrogation. There is no need for you to put yourself in danger. You have…”Her lip twitches as she steps ahead of me and grabs the door handle. With steam rolling off her, she growls, “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.”She yanks the door open and lets it slam against the wall before she storms inside.If I have thought the stench was bad in the hallway, it is nothing compared to the overwhelming foul smell in the dingy room.

    Trinity POVPeople. Everywhere. My feet slowly drag along the cement floor as I make my way through the bunker. Every spot has been converted into a hospital area. The medical staff have packed beds in any place where one will fit. Each patient has the same symptoms as the next. As soon as the white mist got near them, they collapsed.Luckily, all the medical staff had gotten to the bunker in time before any explosions happened or any chemicals were released into the air. I still have heard nothing from my father regarding his pack, but I’m going to assume the same thing has happened there. I silently pray to the moon goddess he got all the medical staff safely in the bunker before the chemical attack started. My stomach churns, and a sense of dread gnaws at me. If the goal was to break Alpha Derrick out of his cell, his brother has gone through all this and has come up short. The lycans had prepared for this and were waiting. Anyone stepping close to the dungeon or the al

Seconds later, a howl reverberates through the training grounds, and my head whips around in its direction. Luckily, after healing me with my sister’s blood, I feel like a kid again. My energy is off the charts, and I seem to have a spring to my step, even when I’m angrily stomping around. I turn back to the field full of warriors. “This is it. We have known this is coming. Use your training and don’t let them get to the pack house. They must be stopped at all costs.” My alpha voice confidently roars out with my last sentence. It doesn’t hold the force and authority it will once I officially take my title and go through the ceremony, but it is still a command they must follow. The large group nods before turning towards the warning cries. Through the pack link, my father barks orders and the group scatters in all dir

This isn’t over yet.Everyone in the two packs was getting restless and wanted out of the bunkers, so my father and the King had no choice but to allow it. Neither of them wanted to agree. The two could have stood their ground, but they didn’t have a solid reason to deny the people’s demands. Plus, everyone was lashing out at each other. Being locked up for a few weeks, even though both bunkers are fairly large, was getting on everyone’s nerves. If they had to stay down there much longer, there would have been a fight within packs. Something tells me they will regret their requests. Lance tightens his arm around my bare back and pulls me closer to his broad chest. “Babe, what is wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with the baby?” The corner of my mouth curls downward as I shake my head and s

The Queen looks up from her table full of medical supplies and shakes her head. Confusion fills her eyes. “No. Nothing is wrong. I’m wanting to see if I can isolate and reproduce the qualities in your blood which provide the healing powers to my son, your brother, and Bethany. If I can isolate what makes your blood different from others, I can generate enough for whatever may come our way.”My eyebrows knot together as I tilt my head and stare at her. “I don’t understand. Yes, my blood heals people faster, both lycans and werewolves. But what does that have to do with trying to isolate the reason for it?”She gives me a faint smile and a soft chuckle. “Is your pregnancy having this much effect on your thinking?”I scrunch my eyebrows closer

The slight smirk and spark in his eyes dare me to answer incorrectly. Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly shake my head. “I don’t know. I’ve been coming home late and leaving early to avoid her as much as possible. She has said nothing.”He raises an eyebrow. “Has she even been awake to say anything?”I shift nervously in the chair as he stares at me. His gaze is like a spotlight I don’t want to be under. After a few seconds, I slowly shake my head. “I think she has been asleep.”He snorts and rests his arms on the desk. “I don’t think ‘think’ will work. If she is anything like your mother, she has been awake and waiting to see what you will do. She has probably called her parents and has gotten all the information she wants about the attack and her brother already. There is nothing to hide or sneak away from.
