Dominic's POVI turned and looked at Snow when he walked in with one of the Deltas who worked for us."Leave us," I commanded."Yes, sir," the Delta responded and then gave a bow and walked out."Take a seat, Snow," I said while I pointed at a chair which was in front of my desk.He nodded and then pulled it back and sat down.I too pulled my chair back as well and sat down.When Ridge called, I was very surprised because I knew how much he hated me and Glen. But then he spoke about his banished Gamma and threatened me in the process.Ignoring his words was easy, but then again, he could kick our asses because he was stronger than us. He would also find a way to ruin Glen's reputation, which I wanted to avoid at all costs. As it was, our life was perfect, and having flaws in it wasn't an option.All I needed to do was to send Snow away without him being involved with Glen, that's why I took over. Glen usually did things for the spotlight, and I understood that.If it were up to him, he
Sol's POVI stepped out of the bathroom and quickly moved to the wardrobe to dress up.My mate's scent was stuck on my clothes, and I didn't want my wife to find out."Sir, she is settled in," Joan mind-linked me."Good. Is the Omega already there?" I asked."Yes, sir, she is there and by now she must be wrapping up," he answered."I will be there soon, but first I have to have a word with my wife," I said, then walked out of the room once I was done.I went into the living room where I found her reading a story to our pups."You are back," she whispered when she looked at me."Yes, my heart," I answered and then moved closer and leaned in, kissing her head."My heart, can you take a walk with me?" I asked seriously."I would love to, but I can't just leave the pups all alone," she answered."I'll mind-link Joan to look after them," I said.She kept quiet for a second with a concerned expression on her face then nodded."Get over here, right now," I commanded Joan through our mind-lin
Leah's POV"Damn it!" I screamed, then flipped the table over with a loud growl.Who the hell did she think she was? Just because she had his pups, he now thought less of mates! I was the one who was supposed to be by his side."Should we kill her?" Lucia asked seriously, then purred.She was having fun with everything that was going on because she knew how easy it would be for us to dominate her and make her grovel to us. After all, she was just a mere Omega."No, if we kill her now, Sol won't help us," I answered and then frowned deeply."What is shocking is how his wolf made his presence known only to protect her. I thought you guys were more connected and bonded than us. What werewolves feel should be deeper than what their humans feel, isn't it?" I asked as she laughed."You are correct, but just because we are mates, it doesn't mean we have no choice but to fight the pull or reject the other party and suffer the ties," she answered."So what you are telling me right now is that
Snow's POVWas I making a dumb decision going back to my pack when I was given the money to sustain me for a month and get me a decent job in human territory?I was back in the forest after taking two taxis and tipping the men for their services. I didn't want to shift because the coat was the only thing I had on me that could hold the band of money I was given. But then it was getting hard to travel on foot.A few days had gone by, and I was avoiding rogues, other supernatural beings, and territories occupied by other Alphas."Shit," I whispered to myself because I was very close to another Alpha's territory.It only made me feel uneasy because if they saw me, they would kill me on the spot if not torturing me."What will I say to Jace to have his forgiveness?" I asked myself silently.Going back was only going to make me a prisoner because he couldn't bring himself to kill me, that I knew."Paul, should we just take our own life?" I asked softly, even when I knew he couldn't hear a
Edith's POVI sat grumpily in an office full of men yet again. Why was I the only one being called among all the women?"You look angry," Harvey whispered softly as I shook my head and smiled at him.Of course, I was upset! Like how was it even possible that after our heart-to-heart talk we didn't see each other much?I get that he was busy with the pack. From handling the warriors to looking at the files on behalf of the Alpha. But why was he acting as if Jace was already dead!I understood that the Alpha preferred to spend more time with his mate than look at the pack files or train the warriors. I also got that his right hand was there for a reason, but then why the hell was Las useless? He rarely talked or did things!My so-called supposed blossoming love life was now dead. By now, we were supposed to be touching each other more and having sex!"No, don't think like that," I whispered silently to myself. Things were going slow and smooth between us; I was supposed to be happy lik
Edith's POVI walked out of the office and left the pack house with Harvey following closely behind.He was silent and kept a little distance between us."Tomorrow, will you let Talic take over?" I asked in a low tone.When I heard his footsteps stop, I too halted and turned to face him."What's wrong this time? Did I do something to offend you, or are you just tired of my presence?" He asked seriously."No, that's not it. I was wondering because I have never seen you both in a war mood, and it would be good to witness that," I answered as his expression softened."If that Alpha dares to start a fight, you will get to witness both me and Ridge in action," he said as I smiled.As he moved his hand to my cheek, my smile faded."I am sorry," he whispered softly as I swallowed hard.Why was he apologizing? Did he by chance realize how lonely I was all this time?"Why are you sorry?" I asked huskily."I was very busy and I neglected you for quite some time. I really wanted to see you, but
Amara's POV"Why are the pups already asleep?" Sol asked in a whiny voice, making me chuckle."Did you want us to dine together with them?" I asked as we walked into the passage going to the dining room."Of course, it has been a few days since I shared a table with them. I miss them dearly," he answered and then grabbed my hand, linking it to his."I apologize for everything that has been happening. I know how angry and hurt you must feel over me giving my mate a place to stay. To be honest, I want to kick her out but sadly I can't. I feel bad when she's upset and I get hurt whenever she's crying," he said as I wanted to rub my thumb against my ring but stopped.I was trying my best not to get angry or yell at him; after all, I understood how he was feeling. Not only did I run away from my pack because of my mate, I kept it all a secret."It's alright," I answered softly."My heart," he called in what sounded like a plea."It's really alright, I understand, mi amor," I whispered soft
Amara's POV"Joan, come to the dining room right now," Pride mind-linked him through our pack's mind-link, while looking at me as if I was a stranger.In just a few minutes, Joan walked in and bowed low in respect."Take that woman to a healer; she's losing a lot of blood," he instructed as he went around the table and widened his eyes in shock.He looked at me and then at Pride as if to question what had happened."I lost control and ended up hurting her when she was being disrespectful to my wife," he said as I raised a brow, stunned over how he was lying to his close friend just to protect me."I see, I'll take her to a healer right away," Joan answered and then leaned forward and lifted her in his arms.Although she was still alive, she was unconscious.As he walked out, I kept on wishing she could just die before a healer could heal her."Let's eat now, ílie mou," I said and then picked up a fork and a knife.When a few seconds went by without him sitting down, I cleared my throa
Jace's POV The cheers that went on for minutes filled my heart with joy, and I was very happy to finally witness Glen become the Alpha of this pack and Harley the Luna.Yesterday, things were a little messy because we all couldn't decide who should take over the ceremony.Alpha Ian wanted Edith and Lexi to do it, but Glen and Light suggested the warlock Lee. For an hour, we all couldn't come to an agreement.Only when Sonya suggested having all three do it did we finally reach a consensus.Watching those three take over the ceremony was history itself and very iconic.They complemented each other so well when they needed to and made sure each had a turn to work things out. Edith was like a leader who looked so proud to have Lee and Lexi by her side."That's some iconic shit, don't you think?" Light asked, standing next to me."Why do you say that?" I asked, despite knowing what he meant."Edith is the most respected ancient witch that we know of, and Lexi is known and respected so mu
Jace's POV "Will Sky and Glen be upset with me?" I asked Lilian seriously as I drove past their pack's border. "I doubt it," she answered softly.Instead of using a portal, we decided to drive, and it took us two days. Alpha Ian was already there, along with Harley's mother, aunt, and her kind. I felt very nervous, and I was preparing myself mentally for any outcome that would arise."Jace, they are your brothers; they will understand," Lillian whispered softly when the pack house came into view."I doubt it," I answered in a low tone and then frowned when I saw a lot of men who looked like warriors.The closer I got, the clearer it became that those men weren't human; they were dragon warriors, and the way they were looking at me wasn't all that friendly."I guess he was right; the dragon warriors were a little more than I would imagine," I said when I parked my car close to the pack house entrance, remembering Sky's words from our previous phone conversation."When you feel tired
Sky's POV"Alpha Ian and his family have arrived," Riff announced through the pack's mind-link."Okay," I answered from my office, still using the mind-link, and then slowly stood up.When I felt their presence at the pack's border, I quickly sent Riff to welcome them and show them to the pack. Then, I went on to inform Glen about their arrival.I also felt that Jace needed to know they were here, which is why I rushed to my office to make a call."Alpha, they are in the living room," Riff mind-linked me."I'm coming," I answered and then quickly walked out.When I entered the living room, I found everyone seated except for Alpha Ian and Glen, who were both looking at Sonya."Alpha Ian, welcome," I said nervously.He looked at me with a raised brow, then at Glen."He looks exactly like you; it sucks," he muttered."That's because he is my identical twin brother," Glen answered simply."Gosh, I couldn't want even my worst enemy to share his exact face with another, be it blood or not,"
Glen's POV I looked at Sky, who was typing something on his laptop in the pack's office, then folded my arms with a low sigh."What is it?" he asked without looking at me."Don't you think you are rushing things? Just because the Queen of Dragons said that to you, it doesn't make you obliged to go through with it. Harley and I can wait until the right time to have the ceremony, brother," I answered seriously."That's the thing: no one can force me to do what I feel or think is wrong. What Harley's mother said was right, and I want to do it while she's still in our pack," he said calmly and then looked at me."Our mate acted cold towards her mother, but we all could see it in her words how she still longed for her. Her being made Luna with part of her family witnessing it would make her and us happy, wouldn't it?" he asked as I dropped my hands and nodded.When she asked her mother if she was leaving, her voice indeed held longing, and it surprised me. But at the same time, I understo
Sonya's POV"Come on, just this once," I pleaded softly.Harley looked at me coldly and then sighed heavily."Can't you call me 'mother' just this once, please?" I said loudly and then looked at her mates, who were both staring at me in silence.I could tell what they were thinking without them saying a word.The first thing I saw in their expressions was the question: how dare you invite yourself into our pack house and living room? The second question was: how could you ask that of her when you clearly abandoned her?And the last question was: how the hell are you able to keep such a funny demeanor when things are far worse and serious? How could you leave your warriors outside the pack house and freely joke with our mate?"I know you want to say something to me; please do, because I promise I won't be upset," I said seriously to them.The twins looked at each other and then looked back at me."Ma'am, are you going to take Harley away from us?" one Alpha asked."Before I answer, may
Sky's POV "You have to eat something," I whispered in concern as I rubbed Harley's back gently.She was lying down on her bed in silence while I sat next to her. Glen stood next to us with a sad expression on his face. Ever since Corinne left our pack, two days had gone by, but Harley refused to eat or talk much to any of us.I was very concerned that I had to put the pack's work on hold."Perhaps we should call Berta—I mean Mom and Dad—and inform them about everything," Glen insisted seriously.I quickly got up and cursed loudly."What now?" he asked at the top of his voice."We have an intruder," I answered coldly."Riff, we have an intruder," I said loudly as I walked out of the pack house.I sighed heavily when I looked at Corinne, who was standing with her hand pressed on her hip."You again," I said softly, then glanced at Riff and Sophie, who were rushing towards me."Tell the warriors to stand by," I mind-linked Riff and then focused on Corinne."Did you seriously think I wa
Corinne's POV "Why aren't you asking me more questions?" I asked Harley seriously.A few minutes had gone by, and she was looking at me with hate and anger."Let's go inside," she said coldly, then turned and went into a huge mansion I assumed was the pack house."You heard her," I whispered, then followed her inside.I paid no mind to the wall interior because my eyes were fixed on how she walked. Even her movements were exactly like my sister's. If my sister were any younger, she could have passed as her identical twin.I made a turn and walked into the living room, where she pointed at a sofa."Thanks," I said simply, then took a seat.We both glanced at the door when the two Alphas and Betas walked in."Now that everyone is here, I won't hold back on what I'm about to say and ask," Harley announced seriously."Of course," I whispered.Ever since we received the call about Harley being alive and possibly well, my sister wasted no time in sending me to meet her. Before I traveled,
Harley's POV I knew my mates were acting differently but I ignored them. At least I tried to because I thought they were doing that to spite me due to how I had kept my feelings to myself.It was wrong of me but I felt like they were doing a little revenge of their own, which I choose to really not pay much attention to until from nowhere Sophie and Glen barged into my room.It was very startling but they gave a few excuses of how they had thought they had heard a sudden noise from my room.At first I didn't think much about the situation and told them they just had been mistaken. But some minutes went by with them talking a lot, as if they were trying to keep me in the dark over something.That's why I asked Sophie if something was going on, but she brushed it off and told me to ignore any noise because the warriors were training in front of the pack house. Her excuse made no sense that's why I turned to Glen and asked him if he was keeping something from me.He hesitated but gave i
Sky's POV "Do you think we are acting weird?" I asked Riff, who stood in my office with his arms crossed."Is that why you rushed me to your office?" he asked lazily."Are you still upset with me?" I asked back seriously from behind my desk.He shook his head and then dropped his hands."I came running because of the tone of your voice. I thought something bad had happened to you. I was so worried about you, not upset," he answered simply."Well, Harley has been looking at me and Glen coldly these past few days. We... I mean Glen and I decided to keep the news of her parents coming to our pack a secret, just in case they come looking for blood or end up not being her real parents," I said seriously."Well, what do you expect me to say, Alpha? She is a sharp lady who can easily tell if something is going on. Perhaps you should come clean and tell her the truth. After all, you look uncomfortable not telling her, so it might do you good to come clean," he advised.I stood up and brushed
