Jason quickly clarified, "I apologize, I was concerned about the possibility of the pack being invaded by that black wolf."Tobias grunted, his arrogance evident as he replied, "I have no interest in invading your pack. Moreover, your bullets loaded with wolfsbane won't harm me."Alicia cleared her throat awkwardly and suggested, "I recall you left your shirt and suit jacket in your car. Go ahead and get dressed. I'll accompany my father back home. Oh, and don't forget to grab your gift." With that, Alicia retrieved her car key from her pocket and handed it to Tobias. With her father and other pack members present, it was impossible for her to continue the conversation with Damian regarding the rejection."Tobias, can we talk?" Jason inquired, passing the gun to his Beta.Alicia bit her lip, sensing that her father might be about to ask Tobias for a loan. However, Damian wasn't truly Tobias, and she was about to intervene to prevent her father from speaking to him when Tobias responde
Alicia's brow furrowed, and she questioned, "Aunt Jenny, what are you talking about?"Jenny let out an exasperated sigh and vented, "Your husband went ballistic, blaming me and Mary for causing you to harm when you passed out. He was on the verge of shifting, I swear. And he threatened to kill all of us if anything happened to you! You're just pregnant—does he really need to be so on edge that he's ready to murder us?"Alicia hadn't anticipated Damian's level of concern for her well-being. He had definitely overreacted, but deep down, it warmed her heart and filled her with a fluttering joy. This peculiar joy was distinct from the comfort she felt when her father or Eric cared for her; it stemmed from the attention and love bestowed upon her by her mate, her lover.Jenny caught a glimpse of the secret smirk curling up on Alicia's lips and assumed Alicia was intentionally flaunting her satisfaction, taunting them for feeling intimidated by her affluent husband.She glanced at her dimwi
"Honey, what do you want to do? Don't tell me you want to kick Jenny out too. She's my only sister." Mary was in disbelief hearing her husband's words. She couldn't fathom that her good-tempered and obedient husband could act this way."Mary, I understand your bias towards your sister. But she doesn't deserve it. You have no idea what she's been doing behind your back." Jason glanced at Mary and then approached Jenny."No, Jason, I know I was wrong. Please, don't kick me out. Don't make me a rogue. I promise I'll never come to your pack house again."Eric grunted and muttered, "Your promises are worthless."Jason frowned and spoke sternly, "Jenny, I tolerated your spreading rumors and gossip among my pack members for years. I overlooked the inappropriate words and seductive gestures you directed at me. I even allowed Mary to use my pack's funds to indulge both of you. I endured you abetting Mary in bullying my Allie. But today, you slandered my two children, and that is something I ca
10 hours? Was Tobias really asking her to flee North America within 10 hours without even getting a moment of rest?Jennifer noticed the complex expression on Alicia's face as she sat beside Tobias as if she had something she wanted to say to him."Allie," Jennifer sensed that Alicia was her last chance. She was going to make one final attempt to secure a chance for herself to stay."Allie, I'm sorry. I know I've said so many hurtful things to you. Please forgive me. Can you please put in a good word for me with your husband and father? Please! I want to remain with the Scarlett Pack. I'll accept being an Omega. If I can't be an Omega, then I'm willing to be a rogue. Just don't add my name to the blacklists of the Moon Halo Pack and Golden Moon Pack." Jennifer grasped Alicia's hand, seeking her forgiveness and hoping for her assistance.Eric, who had remained silent until now, observed that Alicia seemed to be softening and grumbled, advising her, "Don't be foolish! After you got marr
A soft smile graced Alicia's face, reminiscent of the gentle glow of moonlight on a full moon. Her voice carried a softness as she shared her past and the story of her mother's passing. In stark contrast, after the death of his parents, he and Ellis refrained from discussing them with anyone. They even forbade any mention of their parents within the pack house. With time, he found himself no longer actively recalling the events preceding their parents' demise. He felt he had come to know Alicia on a deeper level. At one point, he perceived his mate as somewhat timid, sometimes too kind to those who tormented her, and at times courageous enough to reject him. But now, in Tobias' eyes, Alicia embodied a resilience and strength that surpassed anything he and Ellis had ever possessed. "You are strong. When I faced a situation similar to yours, I chose to bury and hide the memories associated with my parents," Tobias couldn't help but whisper his thoughts. Alicia halted and turned her h
"Are you kidding me?" Eric's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, giving him a foolish appearance."I don't recall ever joking with you when I was at home. You know I'm not the humorous type who enjoys making jokes," Alicia replied.Eric's legs went weak, and he grabbed the edge of his workbench to steady himself. He then asked, "So, when he called you his Luna, it meant that Tobias was actually Alpha Damian Howard?""You've guessed wrong," Alicia sighed. "The real Tobias has been a long-term resident at the medical center for... various reasons. I asked Damian to pretend to be Tobias because Dad seemed to be eagerly anticipating Tobias' arrival. I didn't want Dad to worry about my life at the Wilton Family.""How have things been for you at the Wilton Family? Good or Bad?" Eric inquired."Not bad. Alpha Ellis, Alpha Martin, and Tobias have been very kind to me," Alicia replied, a hint of guilt flashing across her face as she thought of her husband lying in the medical center for t
"My goodness, what is happening?" Mary shrieked, her eyes fixed on the imposing black wolf just a few dozen feet away from the pack house."Allie, run!" Jason repeated his warning before swiftly shifting into his wolf form. In an instant, the gray and white Alpha lunged at the massive black wolf, despite merely being less than half its size. Jason aimed for the black wolf's neck, but the agile creature easily evaded the attack.Undeterred, Jason pounced on the black wolf once more, this time leaping onto its back. However, the black wolf's powerful tail coiled around Jason, forcefully slamming him to the ground."How dare you harm my husband?!" Mary hissed angrily, her fear cast aside. She propelled herself out of the window, transforming into a wolf with brown fur and striking green eyes in mid-air, joining the fray."Dad!" Alicia screamed, her heart pounding as she witnessed Damian pinning her father to the ground, her hand instinctively covering her mouth.Her outcry caught the att
"Don't be foolish! Didn't you hear Dad telling us to run? Hide in the forest," Eric urged, tightly gripping Alicia's hand."No! I need to find out what's happening to him," Alicia insisted, attempting to break free from Eric's grasp. However, their movements were interrupted as a brown wolf leaped from the roof, landing before them."Run, Allie!" Eric exclaimed, positioning himself protectively in front of Alicia. Though his legs quivered with instinctual fear, he summoned his courage, recognizing that he was now her only shield against the towering brown wolf. Despite his vulnerability, he had to muster the strength to safeguard his elder sister.To Alicia's surprise, the brown wolf expelled a plastic bag from its mouth and swiftly transformed back into Lyon, a familiar face she recognized.Lyon hastily opened the bag and retrieved its contents, speaking rapidly, "Listen, Alicia, you have to get away from here. Alpha Damian is losing control. Here are your car keys and a newly develo
