Clyde's POV I couldn't believe that I was running the damn pack alone.When Sky left, I went to ask for help from my Beta, yet he clearly refused and went on to tell me how I was free to kill him if I wanted to.I was speechless, and I didn't know how to respond to that; that's why I let him be.I could still feel his intense hatred towards me even after many years had gone by.I understood him, but I also hated him for that."Alpha, are you okay?" one of the lead warriors asked through the pack's mind-link."My damn Beta wants nothing to do with me. My son and his Beta left this pack without a care, and now news of me having a weak bastard for a son is going around the pack, so no, I'm not fine!" I yelled, then quickly got to my feet when I heard loud cheers coming from outside the pack house.I quickly rushed out of my office and went out of the pack house.I smiled when my eyes met Sky's. He stood in front of an open portal, looking just fine.He was finally back home! I was worri
Sky's POV"Was that really okay?" Glen asked with concern.“What?” I replied simply.“The way you talked to our father,” he answered."For someone who tried to kill you, what I showed him was mercy," I said seriously."But he is our father," he whispered."And that doesn't make him any less of a murderer," I replied, then moved my hand to his shoulder."Brother, are you seriously feeling sorry for him?" I asked softly.He remained quiet and shifted his gaze to the side.He was truly kind as an Alpha. Did he not know that most Alphas didn't reason or show mercy to those who backstabbed them?"Brother, if I were in your position, would you do nothing about it after finding out the truth?" I asked seriously."I definitely would," he answered quickly as he looked at me."That's exactly what I did: protect you from him hurting you in any way. Now, what's left to do is for you to get stronger," I said, then dropped my hand."How will I get stronger?" he asked."You need training," I answere
Lillian's POV I picked up a glass of juice and took a sip from it with a smile, then put it down on the table. When I looked at Jace, who sat next to me, and then at Edith, who was next to Harvey, I frowned."What?" I asked seriously."Um... nothing," Harvey answered quickly."What do you mean 'nothing' when you can see how clearly the table is packed?" Jace said."What do you mean by that?" I asked, then picked up a piece of cake and ate it happily."Sunshine, I don't mean to disrespect you in any way, but just look at the empty plates," he said softly.I looked at them and then sighed heavily.I had clearly been eating a lot these past weeks, and I had cravings I couldn't avoid. But that wasn't something to openly point out because it was embarrassing."I really enjoy eating a few dishes; I'm sorry," I answered in a low tone.He grabbed my free hand and smiled."I am not upset with you in any way; I just don't want you to have a stomach ache or anything," he answered softly.I was
Paul's POV "Hey," Molly greeted after she opened the door.For the past few weeks, I had been by her side, doing my best to make her happy.We went on a few dates, took walks, and even kissed a few times.Was she ready to leave everything behind and be with me? No, she wasn't."Paul, what's wrong?" she asked.I didn't know how to tell her that I was planning to go back to my pack."It's just that....""Paul! Is that you, son?" Mr. William asked loudly."Yes, sir, it's me," I answered and then walked in when Molly stepped aside."How many times have I told you to call me Dad?" he asked seriously when I walked into the living room.I looked at Mrs. William, who smiled softly at me. "Um... well, Dad and Mom, sorry I came by unannounced," I answered."Nonsense, you are more than welcome here. Isn't that right, dear?" she asked Molly after she walked in."He knows that, Mother, even without me telling him so," she answered simply."Won't you take a seat, son?" Mr. William asked."I will
Glen's POV"Why? I thought you were in Jace's pack!" my mother yelled on the phone."I'm sorry, Mother, but I want to be with my mate," I answered honestly as I walked to my bedroom balcony."Your father...""I know, Mother. I won't let my guard down, so don't worry," I answered, cutting her off.The line went quiet for a few seconds.When she sighed heavily, I chuckled softly."Mother, if I feel any evil or bad intentions from him, I will talk to Sky and leave this pack," I said."You promise?" she asked softly.I hated lying to her, and whenever I made a promise, I made sure to see it through."Mother, you need to rest. I'm sure you are tired from your gardening," I said, changing the topic."Glen," she whispered.I knew how concerned she was and how it was all my fault for not telling her sooner that I was going to stay with Sky. But then there was no way she could have let me if she had known beforehand."Mother, I don't want to lie to you or break my promise in any way. I want to
Harley's POV I stood still, not knowing what to say to him exactly.I had never expected to be in such a situation or to see him looking like this."Jade, help me out because I really don't know what to do right now," I said to her seriously."This time, Harley, you are on your own. Your decision is what matters to me the most," she answered.I bit my lower lip and then took a step back, extending my hand to him.He looked at it and then at my face with a surprised expression."Come on, you don't have to kneel for my forgiveness because I forgave you a long time ago," I said.He smiled and then grabbed my hand and stood up."But as for us being together, I am seriously not sure," I said as his smile faded."I understand," he said in a low tone and then walked to a desk where a bottle of whiskey was.He grabbed the bottle and took off the lid, drinking from it."It's not like I don't love you... I just..."I was startled when he dropped the whiskey bottle on the floor, my eyes widenin
Harley's POV How did things turn out like this?We were in the living room, sitting on a beautiful, white, fluffy mat, playing cards that I had never seen before.The rules were explained to me, yet it was still hard for me to understand.A few minutes ago, we all had agreed to only have a glass each and call it a day, but then Sky was so eager to play a game and asked us to join.I wanted to refuse, but then again, doing something that he enjoyed made me excited; that's why I accepted.I thought the game was supposed to be simple until they both began taking off pieces of clothing! They even talked me into doing it too because they claimed I had lost!"You look a little pissed off, yet it only makes you look hotter," Sky said with a smirk.I quickly moved my hands to my chest to cover myself when Glen grabbed them."Nope, that will be cheating," he said seriously."Why is it that I'm the only one in my underwear while you two still have your trousers on?" I asked in a whiny tone."
Sky's POVI wasn't going to take it far or do things rashly; that was what I had told myself. Yet, I found myself doing the very opposite.My hand was on her breast while the other was behind her neck, pulling her closer than she already was, while my tongue collided with hers.Her moans were soft, and her response was very arousing. When I pulled back, I smirked, seeing how she was looking back at me in a daze.I looked at Glen, who was looking back at me, and then nodded.He instantly unhooked her bra as I grabbed the loops from her shoulders, taking it off. She gasped and covered her breast with her hands, a surprised expression on her face."Sky, I..." I moved my thumb to her lips to silence her.I wanted to feel her; fuck, I even wanted to fuck her right in the living room."Don't speak," I whispered softly as I slowly moved my thumb to her lower lip.When I leaned in and kissed her cheek, I heard a soft sigh escape her lips, which was soon followed by her warm arms going around
Harvey's POVThe pack was still happily celebrating the news of our Luna being pregnant.But I noticed one thing I wanted to pretend not to notice, and that was how Edith looked.My mate appeared bothered and unhappy. As much as she smiled and laughed, I knew it was all a front she was putting on.I didn't want to ask or force her to tell me what was bothering her. I wanted her to open up to me on her own. I wanted her to completely rely on me as her partner and mate."What can be a perfect gift to give Lillian?" she asked in our bedroom.She was looking at a few pieces of jewelry on the bed that she had bought yesterday."Is jewelry lame? Should I give her an expensive car or mansion?" she asked softly.I moved closer, standing behind her. Before she could turn to look at me, I wrapped my arms around her waist."Lillian isn't one who is drawn to jewelry and expensive things. Just you wishing her well and giving her a simple gift would be enough," I answered honestly.She sighed heavi
Marshall's POV Sickening. What was happening in front of me was very sickening.After that talk with that stupid witch, I had to stay home for a few days, thinking about my next move.I couldn't believe how she had walked out on me and said such terrible words to me!Who exactly did she think I was? I was the best Beta there was in all werewolf territories! Not only that, I loved Berta with all my heart, yet she made it sound like I was obsessed with her when I wasn't.I loved her more than life itself!I looked at Berta, then at Clyde, who was talking further ahead with a low sigh.They were both smiling, and that, to me, was a very bad scene to witness. Not only that, it made my stomach churn."I feel very upset," I whispered silently to my wolf."We can't let the witch or Clyde get to us," he growled."You are right; they shouldn't get to us. No, they can't get to us. Just because she has refused to help us doesn't mean we should give up, and just because Clyde is smiling at her
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
