Alex I took Samantha straight to my room and sent for one of the pack doctors to come and tend to her wounds. I couldn't understand why she refused to tell me who did this to her. "Why won't you tell me?" I asked her, not knowing made me frustrated. I needed to see my father, but I was afraid of leaving her alone. When the doctor came, I was finally comfortable to go see my father. "Don't worry, she's in good hands," Doctor Martins assured me. He knew she was my mate, that was the only reason he agreed to attend to her. He was very happy for me. When I got to my father's office, I found him pacing. He was so deep in thoughts that he did not notice me come in. "Father," I said, to call his attention. Once he heard my voice, he snapped out of his deep thoughts. "Alex," he said, letting me know I had his attention. "Have you figured out what to do yet?" I asked him. "I don't have a choice, son. I know this will hurt you, but I have to say it. Mating and marking your mother was t
Alex Since it was now known to everyone that Sam was my mate, there was no need to hide anymore. I stopped her from working as a servant, and my father gave her a room in the Alpha quarters. Anytime I had to leave the settlement, Robert would help me watch over her. Although my father had warned the pack, especially my mother, I knew how stubborn she could be. I couldn't take any chances. Mason was still reluctant to accept Sam as my mate. He tried to talk me into rejecting her like he had rejected his mate, but every time he brought it up, I shut him down. It was obvious he wasn't whole anymore. His emptiness, though he denied it, became more obvious when Alisa died. He was angry at my family for the way the girl was treated, b
Alex "Here's your room.." I said, showing Sam the room I prepared for her. I knew we couldn't stay in the same room. I needed her to relax. This was an attempt to get to know her better. I was willing to take it slow. "You could freshen up and change into pyjamas. I did some shopping for you earlier. There are some clothes in the wardrobe for you to use. I will be at the fireplace in case you need me. " I explained, and she nodded. I hoped I could get her talking. I wouldn't achieve much if she remained like this. I excused her and went to sit by the fireplace. Samantha I knew my behaviour towards Alex was awkward, but I couldn't help it. He had scarred me beyond imagination. I could see the effort he was making, but I just couldn't let myself believe his intentions were pure. I admired the way he stood up to his mother on my behalf, but that also bothered me. I didn't want to be the reason for their problems. I knew the moon goddess had chosen him for me, and sooner or later, I wo
*warning Mature content* Samantha I woke up the next morning feeling light. There was a warmth in my heart that I had never felt before. I wondered where it came from. "That is what acceptance feels like," Helena said to me, and I giggled. I showered and got dressed for the day. I found a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt among the clothes Alex bought. The clothes were a lot decent than the nightclothes. It was as if two different people had picked them out. I went out and found Alex making breakfast. He was trying to make breakfast. The kitchen was a mess. "Morning," I said, and he looked up and smiled. "Morning...This isn't what it was supposed to look like," he explained, trying to explain the mess. "Really, What was it supposed to look like?" I ask curiously. I walked to him and grabbed an apron. "Apple pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and freshly squeezed orange juice," he explained. I giggled a bit and began to put things together for breakfast. Alex helped but stayed aw
Alex. I couldn't sleep after what Robert had told me. I knew the Blood moon pack wouldn't be easily appeased. I was also sure that my father knew that it would be hard for them to accept his offer. I remembered the way the Alpha wolf stared at me when they attacked. If it weren't for my mate, I would have been dead. This was indeed a serious matter. If word got out about what my mother had done, other packs that were allies of the blood moon could attack us. The blood moon pack was a very friendly and accommodating pack that wasn't far from us. They were kind to wolves and easily took people in. If other packs should find out, we were doomed. I wondered what my mother was thinking when she did what she did. How did she believe she would get away with it. My mother was still yet to understand the ranking system. The size of a pack did not count in the ranking system as most wolves thought. It was the strength of the pack that mattered. I was angry with my mother. I didn't want to
Alex While at the meeting, I felt uneasy. Damien was restless, and I could swear I heard Sam calling. I couldn't excuse myself, and I couldn't send Robert until after the meeting. Whatever it was, I hoped Sam could wait. "I don't know what to do," my father confessed. "let's try and dialogue with them again and see if we can agree," Robert's father, Beta Carter, said. " It won't work," I said, " They are out for blood, and they were specific about whose blood they want." "We can't just hand over our Luna without a fight, it would indicate we are weak." Mason's dad, Delta Ashton Whitespear, pointed out, and his son agreed. My generation started attending the pack council meeting ever sin
Alex Sam remained unconscious for a week. The doctors said the silver had impeded her healing capacity and process, it was as if she was human. I refused to leave her room, so my father sent warrior wolves that were loyal to him to stand guard. I couldn't function at all. Why would my pack members do this to me? They knew she was my mate. Even though I hadn't mated with her or claimed her yet, she was still important to me. I saw this as an act of mutiny. An attack on the future luna was an attack on the future Alpha. I swore that even if Sam woke and refused to tell me who hurt her, I would still investigate and enact my revenge. "Your father wants to have a word with you," Robe
Samantha I couldn't believe my luck when I woke up and saw Alex. I was still alive! I thought I had let my mother down and died. Thank goddess, my teeth had grown out. I played the incident in my head over and over again. Alex had been excited since I woke up. He stayed by my side all through. It was time to leave the pack hospital and go back to the alpha quarters. I dreaded the thought of it. I wish I had somewhere else to go to, but I didn't. When we got to the quarters, Alex didn't take me to my room, instead, he took me to his apartment. I was still uneasy about being there, but I didn't let it show. I saw the effort Alex was making to make me feel at home. Letting my fear show, would break his heart. One thing I was certain of was that I couldn't remain in the pack anymore. I di
Samantha We returned to the pack with Glover as our prisoner. The red wolf had secured the head of defence, Mr Reynolds. I had special plans for him. We lost two apex wolves, and eight wolves were injured. Judging by our odds, I knew we were lucky. Just as Alex once told me that suffering casualties were part of our job description. We couldn't always have it all. I braced myself and ordered an honourable burial for the deceased. We knew reporting Mr Reynolds would be useless because the government was in on it. So I decided to take the laws into my hands. He was going to witness what he made my mother witness ten years ago, because of his greed and lack of humanity. I never said I was a saint. So I sent him home with two delta spirit wolves. I had them slaughter his family in his presence and bring him back to the settlement. He would work as a slave until he no longer had use anymore, then he would be killed. We made sure he wouldn't dream of escaping by framing him for the dea
Samantha. It was time to finally move in on Glover. We intended to sneak up on him. I and Sylvester were going to scout the area first then send a signal. Alex had protested, but eventually, he had to agree. He was new to the terrain, wereas Sylvester knew the area better than me. Together, we were less likely to accidentally alert the enemy of our presence. Alex held me all morning. We made love more than three times. I began to fear he was up to something because this was exactly how he behaved when he rejected and dumped me in the human town in a bid to 'save my life.' " I hope this is not you saying goodbye?" I asked, lying in his arms, and he laughed. " You wish babe. You are stuck with me till the end." He said and began to tickle me. I laughed so hard I had to control myself to breathe. " I am just getting pumped up for the fight," he confessed and winked. He tried to make it seem as if he was simply drawing on our mate bond for energy. He did not need to do that for the s
Samantha Discussing the mutation with Alex was easy. Having faced hunters several times, he believed the mutation would be an advantage. He didn't hesitate to elaborate on how fighting against the hunters with only our jaws and paws would be a bad decision on our part. Hunters used specialised weapons and talismans in battle. We wouldn't stand a chance if we are unable to dodge them and attack them like humans. The fact that everyone would be in their right senses after transformation was good news too because he believed that was what deterred most of them in the first place. The marking wearing off after three days was a plus. Although it was easy to explain to Alex and convince him, I doubted it would be that easy with the elders. W
Samantha I sat alone in the alpha's office contemplating when we could start searching our cabins in the woods. Alex's idea was excellent. It was normal that he would think in that direction. He had fought and defended his pack even before his father went missing. He had all the experience and training that I did not have. I sat there wondering where we would start the search. If we would spread out and search different cabins or if all of us would just go to the one I spent the night in with Sylvester. We needed to be careful how we moved so we wouldn't tip them off. Someone knocked on my door, and I asked the person to enter. It was my mother. I smiled immediately I saw her. I had never imagined that I would see her again after that night that we parted in the woods. The memory came back to me in a rush. My mother had allowed me to ride on her wolf's back to escape the massacre. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be alive. We had run for almost twenty-four hours before we got to th
Samantha. The journey to the Luna Eclipse pack was a bit longer than expected. It would have been shorter if we went through the forest, but because we were going with the twins, we couldn't do that, so we opted to drive there. leaving with the twins was a tough decision, but we knew that Glover would attack the Yellow moon pack if we left them there. It was best we took everyone that was connected to us along with us. Alex's parents had insisted to join in the fight. We tried to persuade them not to come. Eventually, we allowed his father to come along and insisted his mother remained. Someone needed to remain to run the pack. She was to work hand in hand with Robert Carter and Delta Ashton Whitespear. Abel Wey was too excited about the fight that he made me a bit worried. The fact that he could not die was a plus on our side, but the fact that he had no motivation was a problem. What if he decided to switch sides last minute? He had no allegiances to anyone, nor did he have any af
Alex. A week passed in peace. We weren't relaxed, but we were relieved. We had time to rest and gather our thoughts. We sat and planned how we will bring peace by putting an end to Glover. With most of our disputes resolved, planning on how to end Glover's reign of terror was all we focused on. Luna Tamar had kept her promise and placed Raphael as the new Alpha of Rosehip's pack. The Blue moon pack members had tried to revolt, but unfortunately for them, Spirit wolves hated being challenged and disrespected. Luna Tamar had killed off their Beta, Gamma and Delta. The rest of the pack did not need much convincing to fall in line. As expected, the Blue moon pack became the Blood moon pack. Raphael tried to make peace with us, but we weren't there yet. A lot had happened because of his grudge. He had let Rosehip mislead him and ruin lives. He was lucky he wasn't involved in the people trading business, he would have died along with his mentor. Although he claimed he wanted justice, he h
Alex After a week of agony and pain, Luna Tamar finally arrived with a blue-eyed woman. She looked ethereal and beautiful. There was no doubt she was a goddess. I wondered why she was on the physical plane, but I kept my questions to myself. We had moved Sam to one of the rooms on the ground floor of the Alpha quarters. The room was kept cool at all times. I would often fill the tub with ice and place her in it to cool her system. Sam could not eat, therefore, I fed her mainly liquid. I wished I could share her agony and pain, and the fact that it was impossible gave me more heartache. The weird-looking woman examined Sam and smiled. " An Alpha," She smiled and looked at a man that stood next to her. " What do you say Abel, darling. A direct descendant of Selene." She said and smiled, then looked at me. " I don't do freebies." She stated, and I saw a pink human butterfly stand on her shoulder. " Meet, Hill, " she introduced the thing, and I didn't know how to respond. " Hello A
Alex. I was just helping Sam's mother to settle in when Zeta Ashley came to call me. I knew something bad must have happened because we hardly spoke. The moment I got the news of what happened to Sam, I ran out. I rushed to the infirmary when I was told Sam was injured and had been taken there by Sylvester. Elisabeth had come to call me, but Zeta Ashley had beaten her to it. Sam's mother had followed me to the infirmary. It was sad that this was the first time she would see her daughter since she was fifteen and Sam was badly injured. The twins were sent to my parents. Upon getting to the infirmary. I saw Sam stripped bare with her chest down and her back exposed. There were blackish veins around the claw wound on her back. "What the hell is this?" I screamed, " How did this happen?" I asked, and no one responded. The fact that she wasn't moving scared me. "No, No, Sam," I began to plead, " Please don't do this to me. You promised you would be alright. You have to fight this." I
Alex "What is going on here?" I asked, approaching my parents. " Alex Stand down!" My father commanded. It was clear that he had forgotten that he was no longer my Alpha and couldn't command me. " No, father, this is also my fight," I replied and stood next to him to face the woman and Raphael. I saw Raphael whisper something to the woman, and she set her eyes on me. " So you are the werewolf that fights with magic?" She condescendingly asked me. " What do you want ?" I asked her ignoring her question. " I do not want anything from the likes of you," she stated, " You have nothing to give
