Jace's POV"Alpha, you called?" Talic asked seriously."Yes, allow Harvey to take over," I ordered.He frowned for a second while he looked at Light, Paul, and Edith who were already in the room, then closed his eyes. When he opened them, I smiled."Good, so Paul, Harvey, and Light, I have a favor to ask of you," I said as they all looked at me seriously."I want you to make me the most irresistible Alpha who's ever lived," I said as they looked at me coldly.I did expect them to act in some type of way, but what was with the cold aura around them?"What the fuck?" Harvey whispered in disbelief."I'm sorry, Jace, but by chance did you just say we should make you the most irresistible Alpha in the world? Is that why you called us urgently?" Paul asked."Yes, because it is urgent!" I exclaimed."Fine, but does that explain why you asked my woman to join us? Not to mention in your bedroom!" Harvey exclaimed.I looked at Edith and noticed how she was looking at him with flushed cheeks. Wh
Lillian's POV"He said he would return in the evening," I said softly while I looked at myself in the mirror again."So?" Maila asked."What do you mean? We have to look good," I answered seriously while I brushed a strand of hair from my forehead.I was putting on a night robe which looked nothing like something you can sleep in. It was silky yet had some beautiful diamonds on the side of my neckline, it also had red rose flowers and little stars on it. I was very happy that it had stripes that showed off my shoulders and the white hair covering my back made the dress look even more appealing. I wasn't fully confident in my body but it looked much nicer than it would have back then. My face was natural and I wanted it that way."Stop it already," she said, making me roll my eyes in annoyance."If he is going to dress up for us, the least we could do is try and do the same," I answered."What makes you think he would even do his best to look good for us? He might just put on clean, ir
Jace's POVI moved hand in hand with Lillian approaching the pack's border in silence. After that embrace, I gathered my courage and asked her for a walk, which she reluctantly agreed to. As we walked, we both chose to enjoy our quiet time together.I looked at her with a smile and then stopped moving as she did the same. I didn't think much about it because I really wanted to spend some time with her, but outside, it was beginning to get cold."Excuse me," I said and then let go of her hand and took off my jacket.She frowned deeply but kept quiet."Here," I said in a low tone while I put it around her shoulders."It is very late and it is getting chilly," I whispered."Thank you," she whispered back.I folded my long sleeves and then linked my hand to hers with a smile."I heard that you like it whenever I'm dressed in dark red or blue, how true is that?" I asked when we began to walk."Um...back then, whenever you wore such a color, you looked even more handsome than you already we
Lillian's POVI was stunned, at the same time happy, as I stood looking at him in a daze. In just a second, the kiss that felt like it would go on forever ended just like that. I wanted to feel more because it was mind-blowing, yet I didn't know where to begin or how to ask.Was it weird that our tongues touched? Was that why he immediately pulled back?"Did you pull back because our tongues touched?" I asked in a low tone, then got startled when he laughed loudly.That's when it clicked that I was standing in the presence of Alpha Ridge."You are funny and naive in a cute way," he said as he linked his hand with mine.My heart was beating rapidly as I swallowed hard."Alpha Ridge, it's...,""Cut the formalities. Call me Ridge," he ordered and then moved my hand to his lips and kissed it.I shyly smiled and looked to the side to avoid his intense gaze. He looked as if he would eat me up."Shall we go back?" He asked.Go back? So soon?"What?" He asked when a minute went by in silence.
Edith's POVWhy couldn't I bring myself to go back to where I had come from? Was it because I felt something for Talic? I admit I missed how I felt to be loved and wanted, but was that the only reason stopping me?"Edith, what's wrong?" he asked, getting my attention.I slowly walked to where he was and sat next to him on the bed."I want to go back. I know I have said this more than once, but I really do miss home," I answered honestly.He smiled warmly and then grabbed my hand, linking it to his."When would you like to go back?" he asked seriously."I... I don't know," I answered, feeling confused.After he had ordered me to see Lillian, I decided to just go into the room and rest. I wanted to refuse Harvey because he was not the boss of me, but then Talic pulled through, and I was left with no choice but to obey. After a few hours went by, he came into my room to check up on me, and he decided to stay and chat.I was relieved that it wasn't Harvey in control because I wanted to fee
Harvey's POV"Why are you acting like this towards our mate?" Talic asked furiously while I dressed up."You know why," I answered in a cracked voice and then turned to look at the closed bathroom door."I feel guilty," I whispered sadly.The bad words I had said to her out of anger were now slowly haunting me. She even looked sad.Was she now ready to take my life?"Just apologize you piece of shit. The more you act distant towards our mate, the more you will end up hurting her. You already know that she wants to stand by our side, so don't dare ruin this for us," he warned angrily as I took a deep breath and released it.He was right, what was wrong with me? I was acting like a toddler who was throwing a tantrum over not getting her full attention.I walked back to the bathroom and entered without knocking.She was standing in the shower with her back towards me. My heart ached when I inhaled the scent of her tears. Was she crying because of me?Or was she crying out of regret that s
Leah's POV"How dare she!" I screamed at the top of my voice and then looked at a few she-wolves who stood in my room silently with their gazes fixed to the ground."Why are you all acting like this? Don't you have anything to say to me, Your true luna?" I asked seriously.One of them looked at me and then smiled."I don't understand why you are acting like this, Luna, when you know very well what you are capable of doing to that low life. You are of Delta blood; everyone knows that, while she is of Omega blood," she answered as I glared at her."Are you stupid or dumb?" I asked loudly."No, Luna," she answered in a whisper."She may be of Omega blood, but you can tell that she is stronger than any of you trash combined," I spat."She may be stronger, but you are still of Delta blood and the Alpha still favors you; that's why he can't kill you. If you can't seduce him with your body, you should find another way to get rid of that stupid runt," she answered as I smiled.Of course, he c
Jace's POV"Did you have to say such harsh words to her?" I asked calmly once I had taken over."What was I supposed to do? Entertain that whore?" Ridge asked."Well, no but ...""But nothing, we have a mate who we never want to hurt. Are you going to be nice to that slut and make our mate suffer?" He asked as I sighed heavily."No," I answered.Why would I hurt our mate again? I chose her over Leah a billion times, and now that she was comfortable around us, I wanted to slowly approach her. But that didn't mean I was going to easily forget how Leah's parents raised us."But remember how Leah's parents were there for us in the past?" I asked seriously."I do, and I believe we have already paid that debt. Not only did we dress their child in the finest jewelry and clothes, we made everyone who looked down on her show respect," he answered."I get it, but still, they gave us a happy life that was taken away from us in the past," I said silently."Stop talking about them!" He growled in
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
