Paul's POV I was pissed off, very pissed off with her.How could she say that to me? And on top of that, she was engaged! Was this my punishment for disappointing my friends? "You made your point, Moon Goddess. I am so sorry for being messed up and stupid," I said loudly and then stood still."Just please let me have Molly. I promise to treat her right and love her with my whole heart. I don't want to lose my given mate, so show mercy, Moon Goddess," I said in a low tone.I was feeling very sad, and now that I was thinking things through, it wasn't her fault that she was engaged to someone. She had no idea about me, and even if she did, she wouldn't have wanted someone who was stuck on another she-wolf."Are you talking to yourself right now?" Riff's voice came from behind.I rubbed my forehead and then turned to look at him."Yes, I am," I answered seriously."Mm, you are an honest, crazy fellow, aren't you?" he asked when he stood in front of me."Not really, I just did that beca
Paul's POV I sat next to Molly, facing the window for hours as the car moved. A few days had gone by, and we took a rest in different hotels to eat and take baths. Now that we were close to my territory, I felt uneasy.Although Harley chose to sit next to Molly throughout the journey to keep her company, her eyes were mostly on Alpha Sky while Riff drove.I didn't want to talk or look at my mate because Snow was still upset over my words, and I was doing my best to ignore him and keep him in check."You can't ignore me forever," he growled."I can't; that I know. But I also don't think it's right to claim her when she has her own life and lover," I answered silently."Are you insane? She is our mate, ours! And look at how she is looking at us; she wants us," he said.I took a deep breath and released it."I said, look at her!" he commanded me as I did.She instantly smiled at me, and my heart fluttered.I frowned and then shifted my gaze back to the window."It looks like we are pre
Molly's POV "Hey, say something," Paul said softly.I was too shocked to say anything and angry as well. I was also a little confused about everything."Molly," he called in a whisper.When I couldn't respond, he moved closer and leaned in, kissing my lips lightly, then pulled back with a concerned expression on his face.Instantly, a low sigh escaped me as I blinked a few times."I... um....," I frowned deeply and then kept quiet.I couldn't figure out what I wanted to understand or say at first. Was it the fact that he was in love with another woman whom he was willing to die for?Was it the fact that he was kissing me and staying by my side, as well as looking at me as if I were his everything because of what we were to each other? Was I really okay knowing how he was third in command?Perhaps what was so confusing was how he had a wolf that had a different personality, character, and emotions."Please, talk to me," he said seriously, then grabbed my hands while squeezing them li
Jace's POV I sat down next to Lillian, facing Sky, who was still looking around with a grin on his face."Are you going to look around for hours?" I asked simply."You looked around my living room too," he answered."I didn't look around," I pointed out."Then that's your problem, not mine," he replied.What was he, five? Also, was he picking a fight with me?"Riff, how have you been?" I asked, ignoring Sky."I have been fine, Alpha. Thank you for asking," he answered and then looked at Lillian."I apologize for coming here on short notice, Luna. I just wanted a little help," he said as Sky looked at him."Do you want us to take you to Glen's house or company?" Lillian asked."I want you to show me where my mother stays," Sky answered."Is that all?" I asked."No, that's not all. Besides what the Alpha said, I really want to meet my mate once more," he replied as I smiled.Sky looked so shocked while Harley had a puzzled expression on her face."What mate are you talking about?" he a
Glen's POV "Mother, where should I put your roses?" I asked softly in the living room as soon as we walked in."Oh, those? Put them in the vase that is on the dining counter," she answered simply."Okay," I said, and then walked to the dining room.Since our heart-to-heart talk, I decided to stay with her for a few days. It wasn't only for our bonding but also for my self-healing and hopefully hers as well.She was so kind and very attentive to me that I felt very happy. I wished to stay with her for a few more years if she would let me; sadly, I had a lot of work to do at the company, and her place was further away from it than my own."Do I look like a mess?" she asked with a warm smile after I had done what she had asked me to and returned to the living room."No, not at all," I lied.Her gardening clothes were a mess, and her hair was a little scruffy."Son, you are a terrible liar," she said, then laughed softly while she took off her gardening gloves.I, too, was in gardening c
Jace's POV We all moved closer after Sky had calmed down. This time around, he showed surrender rather than resistance, even when she took his hand and began walking to the entrance of the house.Glen walked in first, looking very upset. As for us, we had no idea what to do. We all looked at each other and then decided to just follow them inside.When we stepped in, I noticed how the place wasn't only well-kept but also had amazing decorations.She was obviously richer than in the past; that's why her companies were among the best of the best."Please sit, all of you," she said softly when we walked into the living room.Glen sat on her left side when she sat down, but Sky remained standing. When she tagged his hand, he sighed heavily and then sat down.We all sat down and looked at them in silence.We didn't want to intervene or disturb their reunion; that's why we decided to stay back when Sky approached the place.We were so shocked at how Sky took down the gate and almost beat
Sky's POV"Why did you and Berta abandon me?" I asked seriously.She looked at me in silence and then frowned."I wrecked my brain thinking about whether you loved me or not. Maybe you were forced to submit by Dad," I said sadly."Alpha Clyde and his wolf were always amazing leaders and mates to us," she answered, surprising me.“Really?” I asked seriously."When Berta and I found out that the Alpha we had always liked was our mate, we were over the moon and couldn't wait to stand by his side because, to us, it was like a miracle given by the moon goddess. Status meant nothing to us because even if he wasn't an Alpha, we would still have chosen to stand by his side," she said and then smiled."He truly was an excellent mate who showered us with praise and respected us. The only flaw he had was that he wanted perfection, be it in how he acted or carried himself. So imagine the shock he had when we gave birth to twins and one of them turned out to be a very weak pup," she said as looked
Glen's POV I walked to where my car was parked and got in, tears running down my cheeks. I shut the door and covered my face with my hands, crying.I realized he didn't like me much by the way he talked to me, but I had no idea he wanted me dead. What was worse was how I perceived Lorin. I thought she hated me, and I even showed her that I didn't want her in control at times, when she loved me as much as Berta did.She chose me over her wonderful life and suffered on my behalf.My heart was aching badly, and I felt like I would jump off a damn bridge and die."Us dying would only hurt our family members," Dominic whispered.He was hurting terribly too, and he had no idea how to comfort us.When I picked up Harley's scent, I dropped my hands.A knock on the car window made me turn and look at her."I won't take it anymore if you say anything terrible to me, so please leave me alone. My mind and stability are hanging by a thread," I said loudly.When she knocked again, I slowly opened
Edith's POV"Sir, I will do everything in my power to help you, so please do tell me what is wrong," I said seriously.When he called me back to the pack, I was busy celebrating with the rest of my family over Lillian's pregnancy.I wanted to tell him how busy I was, but then it clicked that my Alpha really liked Alpha Sky a lot. Helping him out would only strengthen the bond between the two packs; that's why I agreed to meet him."There was a witch who did a favor for me in the past. She used to reside in this broken castle we are seeing. I wanted her to help out again, but as you can see, it seems she has moved," he said as I looked at the castle.It was so obvious that the owner of the castle was dead. I could feel it because of the powers I had."I'm sorry, but I'm certain the owner of this castle is dead. I don't know if she died or was killed, but I can't seem to sense her soul," I said seriously as his expression turned cold."Damn it," he whispered softly."Sir, you know I can
Marshall's POVI looked furiously at the abandoned castle that stood in front of me while brushing my hand through my hair.I knew a lot of years had gone by, but a part of me hoped the witch could still be around."Shit," I whispered coldly and then pulled my cell phone from my pocket."What do we do?" I asked my wolf."Tracking down that witch would take a lot of weeks or months, if not years. Also, what if she is dead?" I asked my wolf bitterly."Then how about we look for another witch who is very good at dark magic?" he asked as I kept quiet, thinking back to whether I knew of any witch.When it clicked, I smirked proudly.News of an ancient witch related to Berta's son was everywhere in the news. Not only was she ancient, but she was also diverse in dark magic.If there was one thing I came to understand, it was that those who practiced dark magic were very selfish and greedy.They never said no when asked for something, and in exchange, they got something of value for themselve
Marshall's POV"What to do, what to fucking do?" I asked myself furiously.This time, I couldn't see a way out, and that pissed me off badly."What do we do?" I asked my wolf silently as he huffed."We have to revisit that place," he answered seriously as I sighed heavily.A lot of years had gone by; obviously, things had changed on that side. Moreover, what if we found no one there? What were we supposed to do?But then again, I was feeling very desperate."It's worth a try, I guess," I whispered and then looked at the pack house.I could tell how that damn moron was happy to see Berta from his facial expression, and it was so obvious that he was still in love with her by how possessive he was towards her.He dared to even growl at me!"Fuck him, I feel like ripping his throat out," I whispered in a low voice and then marched to the pack house.I needed to see Berta for just a few minutes to calm myself down because I felt so damn furious."Careful," my wolf warned.We both knew the
Glen's POV I stood at the door with a smile, looking at my mother talking to Harley in her bedroom.Harley looked very happy, and I could feel it just by looking at her face."What is it?" Sky asked beside me."I never thought I could ever see our mate this happy," I whispered softly."Well, brother, we made that possible," he answered and then walked to them, sitting on the bed and wrapping his arms around her waist.She quickly looked at him with a shocked expression and then back at our mother, who laughed softly."You don’t need to feel shy, Harley. Our kind tends to be possessive and occasionally handsy," my mother said, causing her to blush."Anyway, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep; I just wanted to greet you," she said as she stood up."You don't have to apologize, Mother. I feel so happy to see you here. Actually, I am the one who should apologize for not welcoming you when you arrived," Harley answered as she quickly moved from the bed and stood up.She couldn't hide the
Paul's POV Instantly, we parked the car and found the whole family waiting for us outside."Well, what a good welcome," I said when I stepped out of the car."You guys sure missed me, didn't you?" I asked as I walked to the other side to open the door for Molly.She stepped out with a smile and grabbed my hand, which I had extended to her."We did!" Edith answered loudly.I chuckled softly and then approached them.When I stood in front of Jace, he moved his hand to my shoulder with a smile, then looked at Edith, who quickly moved and hugged Molly."You are late," he said playfully, making me chuckle again."I am sorry," I answered simply.I let go of Molly's hand and hugged Lillian lightly, who stood next to him."Congratulations, Luna, on your pregnancy," I said as I pulled back."Thank you, Paul," she answered and then moved to give Molly a hug after Edith had pulled back.I looked at Harvey and then at Light, who were looking back at me coldly."I'm here now, so stop looking at m
Sophie's POV"You really are something else, aren't you?" I asked Riff seriously."Yes, I am your mate," he answered simply, making me laugh softly."I didn't mean that; I meant how stubborn you are," I pointed out.No matter what I said or how I reacted, he was right there by my side, acting like he wasn't phased. He even went as far as to lend me a hand with the office files whenever I was tired or in a bad mood.The most shocking part was when he helped me with the clients who were very hard to please. He stepped in and talked to them in a way that made them happy. I was supposed to hate him for interfering with my work, but my wolf and I were so happy, and we began to always look forward to having him by our side.He walked to my seat behind the desk and grabbed the chair, trapping me between his arms."Do you hate it?" he asked when he looked me in the eyes.I was about to shift my gaze down when he let out a low growl that made me stay still."Do you?" he asked huskily as my
Berta's POV As I walked out of the pack house, I could hear Glen and Sky's voices clearly. I stopped walking to listen to their conversation."You can honestly tell me, brother; you don't have to hide anything from me. I will protect you no matter what," Sky said."I am telling you the truth, Sky. He did nothing wrong. He actually said the words I wanted to hear," he answered as I sighed in relief and approached them."Hey, you two," I said playfully.They both turned and looked at me with angry expressions on their faces."Mother, were you crying?" Glen asked seriously."No," I quickly denied."You were crying; that's an obvious thing," Sky growled."Honestly, no, I wasn't," I said loudly.He looked at Glen, then back at me."You both are terrible at lying," he whispered, then walked past me."Son, he didn't do anything bad!" I exclaimed loudly, then turned and faced Glen."Stop him; your father did nothing wrong. He just said the words I would have liked to hear back then before I
Berta's POV "Mother, things have changed a bit, haven't they?" Sky asked as I laughed softly."No, everything is still the same," I answered with a smile, then laughed loudly when he frowned with a low sigh.Did he want me to praise him or lie?"It wouldn't hurt," Lorin whispered to me silently."To be honest, although most of the things are the same here, I must admit that there are a few impressive things that are different," I said as he smiled with an expression that was asking me to point out the impressive things."You know, like the training field. Who could have guessed there would be a big building next to it, with very clean bathrooms, toilets, and gym equipment?" I said as he smiled widely."I was the one who came up with that idea. You see, our warriors usually want to take a bath after training, and some want to train more but with gym equipment. That's why I had to come up with a plan," he answered while we walked into the pack house."I'm so happy to see how you have h
Glen's POV "I'm the worst, aren't I?" I asked Dominic seriously as I walked outside the pack house.He kept quiet, refusing to answer because he knew how I felt.When our father asked me to play along and make our mother comfortable, I felt terrible and angry with him!Why couldn't he just be genuine and love us for who we are?I was supposed to hate him completely, yet I couldn't.A huge part of me was so happy to have him talk to me without criticism or sarcasm."Dominic," I called softly.He wasn't saying a thing, but I could feel his emotions. He really wanted to be acknowledged by our father's wolf as well."Shouldn't we take this moment and use it to our advantage? He could end up liking us for real, you know," I said loudly and then turned to look back."Talk to me," I whispered silently.His silence was making me feel worse than I already felt."He will never be proud of us," he answered in a low tone.I could feel the hurt and anger from his tone in just those few words.I c
