AliceWhat a day... We have been trying to find those two for the past few hours, and it looked like they had been missing since last night. Faced with this situation, I found myself a little afraid, but I suppose that was how they wanted me to feel.I worried about what plan my ex and his mate had conjured up this time. It is not like it is the first time they pulled a big stunt like this. I sighed in frustration, and I had a very bad feeling about this...Where would they even go? It’s not like they had another pack that would be willing to take them in, right? Well, I guess there were rogue groups that would be willing to add another two members, so they could grow in numbers.I heard there was this leader among the rogues, and I heard that he was planning an attack on all the pack, but no one has ever seen this guy, and no one knows who he is, but for all we knew, he could just be another rumour that the rogues had conjured up to scare us.I sighed as I walked to Zayn’s office, wo
ZaynI stood up, and my nerves seemed to have gotten the better of me, because I was shaking like a leaf, but there was no turning back now, not after coming all this way. It was now or never, and I definitely did not want it to be never.“Alice Kent, would you do me the honour, of taking my hand in marriage tomorrow?” I asked, dropping the question that I had been waiting to ask her ever since the day I had first laid my eyes upon her stunning beauty.“You do not have to say yes! I…” I wanted to finish as I saw the panicked expression she gave me, but she stopped me.“Calm down... Zayn... I would love to.” She stated, as she leaned in closer, and captured my lips in hers, but we both knew who would end up dominating the kiss. The kiss was filled with passion and love, as the cascading waters of the river sounded in the background, filling our ears like an endless melody.The kiss was romantic in every sense, and I needed to show her just how much I really loved her. She had been thro
AliceWalking back to the pack house took a little while, but we eventually found our way back, and just in time too. It was getting dark outside and as we neared the pack house, I felt my curiosity growing. What exactly did he mean by surprise?“Thank you for today. I really needed it.” Zayn spoke up, seeming tired from all the work he had to do for the pack.“Of course, and I should be thanking you! You even turned going for a walk, into going on a date.” A sexy grin spread across his face at my words, and I was sure that he enjoyed the praise.“Well, it is only fair for the most breathtaking and special woman in my life to be spoiled by her mate, do you not agree?” His question made me blush, causing his grin to only grow wider.“I... I agree.” My answer hung in the air, and the silence that accompanied it was deafening.He smirked as we headed toward our room inside the pack house, and I could see a faint light coming from inside. He opened the door, and ushered me inside, telling
Zayn“So, you finally got the girl, huh? I am so happy for you man!” Bryce congratulated me as we stood in the dressing room, getting ready for the wedding. I smirked at his words, and I was beyond excited to finally be with the mate who I loved.“Thanks man, I really appreciate it!” I replied, smirking at the thought of having Alice to myself for the rest of our lives. She really brought out the best in me, and I loved her so much for each, and everything that she did.With that being said, I was already dressed, and ready to head to the chapel for the big wedding taking place today... Our wedding. Yeah, that sounds better. Our wedding was going to be amazing!I smiled at the thought, before making my way to the front entrance of the chapel, as Bryce walked with me, and we took our positions at the altar, waiting for the bride, and future Luna of this pack, to make her appearance.AliceIt took a while for us to finish, but once we were done, everything fell into place, as Haley drov
KaitlynWe arrived back at the camp shortly after the wedding that I begged Cole to go to, and everything looked like it was in place. I was happy and content when I suddenly heard the voice that I really did not want to hear, because every time he talked, he reminded me of what we did to my sister.She was the only family that I had left, and I cannot believe that I had treated her the way that I did, only for me to become a st*pid Luna. I should have known that the Moon goddess had a plan for everyone, including me. I did not want to become one of those wolves that tried to go against their goddess, because those wolves usually ended up either not being alive anymore, or they got completely cut off from the rest of the werewolf community.“Where did you run off to baby?” Tristan smirked as he stepped closer to me. Cole looked at me with disappointment, and walked away to probably go attend to some of the camp matters. I knew why he looked at me like that, and I felt bad.“I just wen
AliceHis mother? Was she still alive after all these years? I figured she would just end up somewhere deceased, because she chose substances over her own son. I felt sorry for Zayn, because we all know why she came back, but I hoped Zane realized that he could not give in this time around.“What is she doing here? Did I not expressly tell you that she was to never walk on this pack’s territory ever again, or did you forget?!” He seemed to be really peeved, and I was not about to interrupt them, so I decided to head to the kitchen to go make myself some coffee whilst Zayn sorted out the mess that was beginning to unfold.“You know you do not have to talk to her if you don’t want to.” I stated, as Wayne followed me to the kitchen. He sat down at the kitchen island, and he looked somewhat defeated, like he had no idea what to do. I felt sorry for him, because I knew what his mother had done to him, leaving him for dr*gs, and sleeping around with other members of the pack.The grief even
ZaynHer gaze drifted from me to Alice, and a sickening smirk spread across her face as she spoke up.“Another wh*re of yours?” I wanted to answer her, but she cut me off right before I did.“Of course not... You do not do that anymore, do you?” She smirked, as her eyes drooped, and I could tell she was on some kind of substance again. Right...“What is the purpose of your visit? You must be here for something, right? Tell me what it is, so I can give it to you, and you can leave.” I stated, not really wanting to give her anything, but if I did not give anything, then I would have to deal with the embarrassment of her making a scene.“I just came here to see my babyyyy.” She replied, causing me to roll my eyes, before shoving the stack of cash into her hands. It was roughly four thousand dollars, and her eyes instantly widened. She stood there dumbfounded for a moment, when her smirk widened.“Thank you my son. Mommy is so proud of how far you have come” She stated, causing my heart t
AliceI was at a loss for words... I even forgave him for all his mistakes. Why could he not do the same for me? Is this how he treats the women he loved? I tried reconnecting him with his mother, because she always used to be nice, but I guess he was not too happy with that either, because here I was packing my things.“You know what Zayn. I gave everything to be the perfect mate for you. I forgave you for everything that you and your disgusting son have done to me, and this is how I’m treated? I will leave, and I will not be coming back. You can take your wedding ring back...” I stated as I removed the expensive ring, and placed it on the glass table.“Wait...! Alice, please do not do this... I love you, okay? I am so sorry... I was just in shock, and reacted poorly.” I sighed deeply, and rolled my eyes at his words.I wanted to forgive him, but after everything that I had gone through... I did not think it would be a good idea, he put me through so much, and manipulated me into sta
ZaynHours ticked by as we played the games and slowly got more intoxicated. Not much has changed in the last couple of years that have passed...I wish I could say that I had started to cope with the death of my mate, but I still missed her every day, and nothing was going to change that. With that being said, I found myself feeling a lot better than I had a couple of years ago, and Delilah has grown quite a bit.“Dadda! Look! Look!” She came running towards us with something enclosed in her hands, and I was nervous to discover what she was hiding.Children did not always come across the best of things, and once something catches their attention, they rarely let it go. She held out her little hands, and slowly opened them to reveal a white lunar moth. It sat still in her hands, and I was amazed by the intricate designs on its wings.It was truly a sight to behold, and she had grown up to look just like her mother did when we were all a little younger.“It looks very pretty sweetheart
Haley Everything does not always go according to plan, it seems, because here I was, taking care of the kids. Zayn had come in after spending the day with his little ray of sunshine, and he left her with me. All the guys went out to go and get a couple of stuff from the stores, whilst the rest of us stayed to babysit.It honestly sounded fair, and I could not exactly complain about the current circumstances, although I would have liked to spend just one evening relaxing. The kids have been keeping us up all night every night, and little Delilah keeps screaming for her bottle every ten minutes, so, I made sure that all of them tired themselves out, and were rushed to bed.Thankfully, they did not resist as I ushered them upstairs to their room. We walked in, and they immediately headed towards their beds, which I was even more thankful for. After tucking them in, I made my way to Delilah’s room, and placed her in the crib.“Good night little one.” I smiled as I whispered good night, a
HaleyPulling out weeds and trimming vines was tasking to say the least. I was dirty and sweaty, and I now knew why she spent so much time in here...With that being said, I finally finished after a couple of hours, and the garden looked almost barren in contrast to its original overgrown state. I found that poetic. I got up with a soft grunt, and made my way to the backdoor of the pack house. I looked back towards the garden to admire my work, and I knew that Alice would have been proud.I took off all the dirty gardening gear that I had on, and put it aside for now, whilst I made my way to the shower. I just could not stand feeling that dirty. I know, ironic, isn’t it? A werewolf that does not like to be dirty. What a joke.I got into the shower, and made sure to wash any and all pieces of dirt that had accumulated on my body throughout the day. After a few minutes of scrubbing, I finally turned off the water, and as soon as I stepped out of the shower, I instantly felt like a new p
ZaynI woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and I was met with a face full of sunlight blinding me through my closed eyelids. I think I drank too much last night, because all I can remember was how I started, and as things stood now, I did not even know where I was currently lying down, but I had to get up. So, I guess we were about to find out.I turned around, so the sunlight did not hit my face, and I slowly opened my eyes. I rubbed the sleep out of them, trying to recall last night’s events, because I had a massive headache pounding away at my skull, which probably meant that I was hungover. I forced myself to get up, and realized that I had passed out on the couch.Well... I suppose there are worse places that I could have woken up in, like the bathroom, or somewhere on the floor. I stretched, and the headache worsened, much to my dismay. I suppose I should go get coffee and start my morning. The walk to the kitchen was rather short, and I soon found myself facing the coffee m
ZaynI am not going to lie, this was a massive surprise, and I did not expect them to remember, or to even care about my birthday. It looks like they proved me wrong, because I did not even remember my own birthday, so to say I was surprised would be an understatement.With that being said, the place was beautifully decorated, and the appetizers were delicious. You can tell that they put a lot of work into all of this, and I was really grateful for everything that they had done for me so far. They were really great friends, and I appreciated every little thing that they did for me.We chatted, and enjoyed each other’s company for the rest of the night, and eventually the time came for us to open the presents. I smiled as Haley and Bryce handed me theirs, and I was very curious to see what they had gotten me. As I unwrapped the package, I could see that they had gotten me an album filled with photos of what I assumed were sentimental memories, as well as a new phone, and a couple of sw
HaleyKaitlyn and I were busy setting up the decorations while Cole was busy arranging the snacks, and Bryce was keeping Zayn busy. It was all starting to come together, and I was actually impressed by how everything had turned out so far.“I think it looks good, what about you?” Kaitlyn finished putting up some of the lights, as she hopped off of the ladder, and walked closer to where I was standing. She turned to face the lights, and inspect them as she slowly nodded to show her approval.“Yeah! I think it looks great. Let’s go see what Cole is up to, and how far he has come with the food preparations.” I nodded in response to her suggestion, and we made our way to the kitchen where we found Cole helping out with the plating of the food.He looked like he enjoyed it, and we decided to leave him to it whilst we made our way back to the living room. I suppose we have to check in with Bryce as well, seeing as we need to know how much time we have left. We were almost done anyway.“Hey
Bryce“Do you really think that he forgot about what today is?” I asked Haley, knowing that she would most likely be able to confirm our suspicions.“I believe so, I mean usually he would be excited, and he would force everyone to tell him happy birthday, but he seemed out of it today.” Haley explained, and just as I was about to answer her, Kaitlyn made her way into the kitchen.“What are we talking about so secretly?” She smiled softly. She looks a lot different than she had before the death of Alice. It could be that she has finally matured mentally. She could also be trying her best to stay afloat, and not get dragged down into the deep, dark hole known as depression.Whatever the case, her whole demeanour changed, and she acts like a completely new person because of it.“We were just discussing the fact that it is a certain someone’s birthday, and he seems that he has forgotten. Either that, or he willfully chose not to celebrate his birthday this year.” Kaitlyn nodded, before si
ZaynWe arrived at the pack, and I could not wait to get this over with. I was not looking forward to discussing a peace treaty, and I definitely was not in the mood to negotiate certain terms. These people couldn't care less about the fact that I had lost my Luna, and the funny thing is, that I know, once it happens to them, they will be seeking comfort in those they had no compassion for.With that being said, we were greeted by the guards of the pack, and we were escorted to meet with Jace, the Alpha of the Crimson Fangs. We were told to wait in what looked to be a dining room, and there were various foods prepared to eat, not that I was particularly interested in eating right now.“Welcome! I had no idea you guys were going to come this quickly. How have things been lately?” Jace knew exactly how I was doing, and I wanted to punch him in the face, but I refrained from doing so, seeing as that would not be a wise thing to do. We were in his territory after all.“Things have been go
ZaynAfter the funeral, everyone in the pack’s moods seemed to have dulled, and who could blame them? I mean... there’s not much you can do except mourn the person that has departed from your life. No longer having Alice here really did make that much of a difference, and the people missed her greatly.I wish there was more we could do, but it seems that we have done all that we can for now. Everyone went back to their respective homes and businesses, whilst I sat in front of her grave.I do not know how long I had spent trying to make sense of it all, and I do not know how long I sat at her grave, but it must have been a while, because nightfall was quickly approaching, and I was still sitting here. Motionless, empty, and for once in my life, I was at a loss for words.I sighed, and with a hole in my chest, I made my way back to the pack house, and made my way to bed. Today was tiring and emotionally draining, and I did not have the energy to fight with anyone. I also did not have th
