Evan's p.o.vI carefully tip-toed out of the room and walked out of the pack house happily."I can't get enough of how beautiful she is." I whispered silently to my wolf as he purred proudly.After she had asked me to wait for her to sleep, I reluctantly agreed because I wanted to spend more time with her. A lot of hours went by with me watching her resting, she looked like a freaking angel.When I noticed that it was nearly the break of dawn, I decided to go back to my tent."What the fuck." I muttered under my breath then slowed down my pace when I picked up Ryan's scent. It was obvious that he was waiting for me."Brother." I called in the form of a greeting when I reached where he was standing.He folded his arms then clicked his tongue, a habit he had whenever he was annoyed at me."Did you enjoy her?" He asked sarcastically."What?" I asked back in disbelief."Did you fuck that slut?" He asked, this time in a cold tone.I grabbed him by the collar and tightened my grip."I dare
Ryan p.o.v We all sat in the living room quietly. My eyes were on my mate and so was Evan's. She sat between Whitney and Uncle looking all comfortable. They were so over protective over her and that was pissing me off. "Whitney, you can't stand between mates, that you should understand because you too are mated." Alpha Ian said calmly then stood up and looked at Lexi. "And I believe she has a choice over all this, after all we are talking about her and her mates." He said. "Alpha, I do understand how it feels to find a mate and I do want Lexi to be happy. But understand that she's too innocent and naive. For a long time she stayed alone without anyone looking after her or telling her anything about the world. On the other hand we have these two assholes who have fucked around a lot, drunk as much as they wanted and disrespected a lot of females." She said as I sat upright with a low growl. "Yeah right. Growl as much as you want you don't intimidate me. I heard it all from your
Lexi's p.o.vI was upset over his disrespect and seeing him on his knees made me happy.An arm around my waist made me look up. Evan stood next to me with a sad expression on his face."That's enough, violence is never the answer." He whispered softly.I took in a deep breath, released it then moved my hand on top of Ryan's head.His screams stopped and his trembling body relaxed. His forehead was covered in sweat and his breathing was loud and labored.Evan turned and faced everyone."I'm so sorry for all this. I ask for your forgiveness and pardon. If I hadn't said all that, I couldn't have angered my brother. As much as I would love for us to talk about this till the end, I can't let my brother continue kneeling on the floor in that state. So if you will excuse me, I'll take him to his tent." He said then turned back to look at Ryan.He was about to lean in and grab his hand when I quickly grabbed his arm."Don't help him. He is a bad person." I whispered.He smiled then moved his
Amelia's p.o.vI was nervously standing in my bedroom waiting for Ian to come back with news from the pack clinic.After that conversation we all had about Lexi, I went to do a blood test at the pack clinic and a few days went by easily. Yesterday when the doctor asked me to come over with him to see the results I pretended to be tired. Ian being the understanding mate that he is let me be. I would have done the same today but Ian wasn't going to take it. He decided to go for the both of us and that came as a relief at the same time it scared me.I quickly turned and looked at the door when it opened and he walked with a sealed envelope in his hand.He had a calm expression on his face but also looked very tired while I was silently panicking."Keep calm." Aurora growled at me."What did she say?" I quickly asked, ignoring her."A few things about your health." He answered, then looked at the envelope with a cold expression."Also this is for you." He said seriously.I looked at it
Whitney's p.o.v"You have been too happy lately." I said to Lexi calmly who was eating next to me."Yesterday Ryan and Evan took me out for a drive." She answered and looked at me with a smile."It's usually like that with the three of you, don't you get tired of having someone drive you around?" I asked seriously."No." She answered and then continued to eat."They are still young, so they are enjoying most of the things they come across and experience." Leo whispered next to me.I was about to tell him how old he sounds with his statement when Ian and Amelia walked in."That looks delicious." Amelia said then sat down opposite us with Ian."Should I serve you two?" I asked in a respectful tone."No, I'm not here to eat." She answered.I glanced at Leo for a second then back at her."Is there a problem?" I asked in concern."No, not at all." She answered simply.I sighed in relief then relaxed in my seat."The pregnancy test I took a few days ago came back positive." She said softly.
Lexi's p.o.vI stood outside Ryan's tent debating whether to call out his name or not."Ryan, your mate is outside your tent." A man walking past me said on top of his voice."I know." Came his response.I brushed my hair backwards then hesitantly excused myself before walking in.Evan was lying on the bed facing the entrance while Ryan was half dressed buckling his belt."I'm sorry I didn't knock." I said then faced the side."I mean I'm sorry I didn't call out your name." I corrected my sentence and swallowed hard.He was shirtless and his body looked amazing. I felt very shy to look at him. I also didn't want to start thinking about how well built he was."You did excuse yourself." Evan answered."So what brings you here?" Ryan asked, then moved to where I was, standing in front.I looked him in the eyes then lowered my gaze to his hard chest."I..um..I..... Wanted to tell you something." I stammered."Brother, stop teasing her." Evan called out."Why shouldn't I when it's actuall
Ryan's p.o.vEvan stood looking at me furiously with his hands pressed on his hips."Are you insane?" He asked in a whisper.I clenched my hands in fists then took a few steps closer to stand in front of him."Do I look fucking insane to you?" I spat."You are way past insanity you stupid fuck?" He growled loudly and grabbed me by the collar."Are you saying this because of how I acted?" I asked loudly.He dropped his hand then brushed it through his hair while cursing under his breath."I was upset, okay!. I couldn't just stay still or keep calm. I didn't want to act up but I ....."I swallowed my words then weakly stumbled a bit."Ryan." He called in concern then quickly held my hand."I'm okay." I whispered softly."You know how our wolves are by now. They are different from everyone's. If you go against them, they will easily have a way to punish us." He said softly.I knew how our wolves were, but mostly how mine was. He made me weak to the point of passing out whenever he was ve
Whitney's p.o.v"Report." I ordered, immediately I had stepped out of the car with Leo and Lexi.August was calmly looking at me with a few warriors."Welcome back general." He greeted me ignoring my words."Cut the crap August. I said "report." I repeated.His gaze went to Leo then Lexi. He was showing me how uncomfortable he was to report things of our territory in front of them."Just so you know, these are my family. From today onwards me and my mate will be working hand in hand to better our territory." I said seriously."Oh." He whispered then glanced at the warriors."Go to your posts." He ordered and took a step closer to me."Everything is as you left it." He whispered softly.When the warriors turned and walked away he huffed loudly."It's Ibuk." He said softly."What has he done?" I asked calmly."Since he recovered from his injury, he has been trying to manipulate a few of the warriors. Everyday he goes around telling everyone how you are being controlled, not by an Alpha
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
Kyle's POV "Son, calm down," my dad said softly.I glared at him, then shifted my gaze to the side.How could he even ask me to calm down when my mate was struggling in the labor ward to give birth?"Dad, you don't get how I feel right now, so don't tell me to calm down," I answered seriously."You really think I don't understand? I felt that way twice when you and your sister were being born," he said, then moved his hand to my shoulder.I looked at him sadly and rubbed my forehead with my fingers."Wasn't I supposed to be in there?" I asked while looking at the labor ward."Yes, but your mother is right there by her side," he answered.I had been so focused on the pack documents the past few weeks that I paid less attention to Yuki.When the news of her going into labor reached me, I panicked and dropped everything I was doing.And right now, I was feeling so guilty that I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most.I had been standing outside for what felt like forever, and eac
Mariana's POV I sat looking at Roxanne's little pup as I clenched my hands into fists.He was so innocent, yet I knew he would grow up to be the very thing I despised the most because of the blood flowing through his veins.His mother was an Alpha Queen, while his father was a very powerful hybrid. The chances of him becoming any of his father's breed were high, but his chances of becoming an Alpha King were even higher.Would killing him in secret be a bad thing?I quickly averted my eyes when the pup smiled at me.He sat playing with a sword toy, and a powerful witch stood close to the door's entrance, watching his every movement."Excuse me, Miss Alpha Queen. Why do you look at the young master like that?" she asked seriously.Damn it, was it so obvious that I was thinking badly of him?I didn't want anyone to know or find out what my exact thoughts were, at least not now. If I was going to kill the little pup, I had to do it discreetly."You must not have heard the news from Rox
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
