Rowan kissed the top of her head, still glaring in Ruby’s direction.‘Don’t ever turn your back on your opponent again,’ Alpine warned Alicia as they watched the redhead she-wolf dragged away by the pack’s Gamma. Alicia nodded to her wolf’s wise words.“I’m sorry I didn’t intervene sooner. I didn’t expect Ruby to use a blade. I shouldn’t have accepted this in the first place.” Alicia watched as Rowan continued to beat himself up about what had already transpired.“Rowan.” Alicia’s arms slid around his neck and she pressed further into his solid body. “Neither of us knew. Don’t worry about me anyway. I got to prove myself and to be honest… compared to my sneaky sister, Ruby isn’t nothing new. I kind of prefer her antagonism its more direct and refreshing.“She’s easy to handle.”Rowan shook his head and sighed, though a smile slipped past his lips. “I believe you’re capable of dealing with anything, especially with such a family. I’m your mate, though.” He leaned closer to Alicia’s fac
Rowan had to see Alpha Mav’s pack—it was an order by the King. He had to oversee it. The King probably thought this was burdensome for Rowan, but he’d built and reset the fringe packs into the Bloody Claw pack today. This wasn’t any different from what he’d done previously.While Rowan and Voss were already beginning to walk down the halls of the pack house and assessing the pack, Alicia passed the Blue Crescent pack line in the town car Garnet drove. The car stopped suddenly a few houses down from the Beta house. Alicia almost slammed into the back of the car seat but steadied herself.“What-”“Alicia, get out.”Alicia’s mouth dropped open, realising that this crazy son of a b*tch had walked in front of the car. She shared a look with Garnet.“I wouldn’t recommend… F*ck!” Garnet ripped open the car, following his future Luna.Alicia crossed her arms against her chest as she stared Tom down. They were in the middle of the road, but nobody cared; the Alpha heir and the Silver wolf were
Alpine slammed into Darci, her head hitting the ground as the silver wolf snarled in her face, paws pressing against her chest. Everyone watched wide-eyed.‘Let her go,’ Alicia ordered her wolf. ‘We cannot kill her.’‘Are you sure?’ Alpine tilted her head to the side. ‘She’s caused you much grief, child.’‘You’ve made your point, Alpine. I’m sure they will not mess with us again.’While Alpine and Alicia were discussing Darci’s outcome, Garnet returned with extra clothes from the car. It was clear he wouldn’t get involved, and their parents were too shocked to do much.After some more convincing, Alicia transformed into her human form, stepping back and quickly putting on the shorts and baggy top Garnet offered her. They were actually hers, which surprised her. Did Rowan know she might shift?Or perhaps he knew Alpine might not put up with as much sh*t as Alicia had been from everyone.“Thanks,” Alicia muttered to her Gamma. “Didn’t fancy pulling me off?”Garnet smirked. “Wasn’t order
Woman who birthed me: We will return your ring once Darci and Tom’s wedding is a success.Alicia stared at her phone and scoffed at Emma’s statement. She threw it across the leather seat of the town car dismissively. Garnet’s attention flicked to her in the rearview mirror from the driver's seat but didn’t comment. The poor Gamma had turned into her little chauffeur until she was reunited with Rowan.Currently, they are driving away from Blue Crescent. There had been a few other odd jobs she needed to complete before leaving, but now she was ready to officially put Blue Crescent behind her. Of course, Alicia knew she would come across them, but nothing was left for her there now.Not that there ever had been anything for her here anyway. The pack never made her feel comfortable; they never wanted her, and the only person who did now, she wanted nothing to do with him.As they passed the boundary line, Alicia closed her eyes. She no longer wished to be a part of the Blue Crescent pack.
One month had passed since Alicia joined Rowan at the Shadowmoon pack and had a little celebration in the woods. The pair were becoming inseparable, unable to stay away from each other for too long. It wasn’t only the need to be close by because of the bond, but they also worked well together to make the Shadowmoon pack better.Alpha Mav’s dark, gloomy shadow left it in rubble, and Alicia and Rowan picked up the pieces to ensure the pack would have a better life. Not only was Alpha Mav a pervert who wanted Alicia as his personal breeder, but he also turned barely legal daughters into his mistresses in a large harem. The unfortunate she-wolves barely got their wolf, shifted for the first time and were ripped from their families and taken to Alpha Mav before they could find their mates.The pack had been ruled cruelly by the previous Alpha. Under Alpha Rowan’s and Alicia’s rule, the pack was grateful and eternally grateful to Alicia, who brought the werewolf’s wicked ways to light in fr
Alicia had been searching for Rowan a while, following the strange scent that led her further and further away from the pack house and nearing the Shadowmoon borders. The vivid blood red of the moon cast everything in a strange light; the woods Alicia was now jogging through provided enough light so that she wouldn’t trip from her raised roots.Spindly branches reached towards Alicia, and roots slowed her pace the closer she drew towards the smell that grew stronger. It was almost like the trees were trying to prevent her from chasing after her mate. It only made her heart clench, and her hands balled into fists as she fought her way through.In the entire time Alicia had spent in the Shadowmoon pack, the forest had never seemed so dense and caused such a barrier between her and Rowan. She knew her mate was near, and these trees, the branches and the roots seemed to almost have a mind of their own, as some even wrapped around her ankles.Alpine’s power surged forward, Alicia’s eyes gl
~ BEFORE ~Rowan may have been ordered by the Alpha King to take Shadowmoon pack under his wing like the others, and thrown Alpha Mav into prison but there were other reasons Rowan eagerly took on the pack. He could have helped build the pack up within as little as one to two weeks.They stayed for an entire month because he had leads about the witch.The witch that was causing havoc among the packs, and using humans as her marionettes, easy to manipulate and use.Alpha Mav had been ruling Shadowmoon pack like a rotting infestation. He’d been getting away with his nefarious ways. It wasn’t only Rowan but his Beta, Voss, that determined the witch was probably working with him.Although there were leads indicating this witch had indeed been to Shadowmoon pack, to which nobody had been aware of, Rowan came up empty. He’d follow a clue and then it would lead to nothing like a scent that dissipates into the air like it had never been there in the first place.Rowan sighed, squeezing his ma
Floating on a weightless cloud, Alicia was enveloped in warmth as a comfortable darkness prevailed on her mind while her muscles were relaxed and her body feeling rejuvenated. It was the piercing light behind her eyes that dragged Alicia from her long slumber and she groggily fluttered her eyelids open.She squinted to the light, and once her eyes adjusted, she realised the room spun, or perhaps she felt a little dizzy.“Easy,” Rowan’s smooth voice called to her and she turned her head in his direction, eyes focusing only on him like a camera lens zooming in on him and only him.Alicia could tell others were in the room, but seeing her mate alive and well comforted her beyond measure. She released a sigh and began sitting up. Rowan rushed forward and helped her to lean back against the headboard of the bed, adjusting her pillows.As he did so, Alicia’s eyes strayed to the others in the room, and she was shocked to discover the core pack members of Shadowmoon in their bedroom. They wat
