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
Lexis's p.o.v"So your name is Lexi?" The man called August asked.I sat on the bed and glared at him.Why was he still in my bedroom?. Yes Whitney had told him to guard me but she didn't ask him to stay in the same room. He could have stayed outside and away from my sight."You are pretty." He said softly then smiled and gazed to the floor, his foot moving from left to right.I couldn't understand his actions so I quietly kept watching him.When a few minutes went by, he looked up and met my eyes."You know, you look different from the first time I saw you." He said then frowned when a loud cry came from outside.He quickly rushed out of the room without a word as I sighed in relief.I was uncomfortable around men. The only exceptions were Leomord and the twins.I threw myself on the bed and raised my hand looking at my fingers sadly.I really missed them a lot and I kind of felt lonely. I didn't want to cry so I was going to stay strong.It was them that didn't come to see me off.
Ryan's p.o.vA few minutes went by with us calming her down. The guy who was with her was quietly watching us carefully and with caution."Do you now feel better?" Evan asked softly after she had pulled back."Yes." She answered in a cracked voice."That's good." He whispered then wiped off her tears.I looked at the guy coldly then patted her shoulder lightly."Who is he?" I asked coldly.I saw how the fucker was looking at her all this time. He even tried risking his life by protecting her. I couldn't forget how he pushed her behind him and called out her name."He is August, Whitney's friend." She answered.I smirked then grabbed her hand."We should formally introduce ourselves brother, don't you think?" I asked Evan knowing fully well how he must have noticed his eyes on her as well."Of course." He answered.I glanced at Lexi then smiled softly."Come along mate." I whispered then walked to where the guy was.He stood in a fighting stance and his expression was cold and deadly.
Evan's p.o.vThe whispers and glares we were receiving while walking into the pack house were noticeable. We were intruders to them after all, even though we knew Whitney. "Where is your room?" Ryan asked Lexi softly."Over here." She answered then picked up her pace as we followed behind."Here." She pointed at a large door happily then touched the handle to pull it open when it opened on its own and August stepped out."What the fuck!" Ryan growled and moved in a split second grabbing his neck.I too was pissed off at how disrespectful he was acting. It was our mate's room yet he came out of it as if it was his own."Do you have a fucking death wish." He asked loudly."Ryan." Lexi called softly."Stay out of it." I warned her."He is hurting him." She said in concern."No he isn't, that grip on him is weak. If he wanted to hurt him badly, he would have used his full strength." I answered seriously."Do you know what rank I am?" August asked in a labored breath."Oh I see, just beca
Ryan's p.o.v"So we are taking down the warriors wing and rebuilding it again?" I asked Uncle then yawned.I was exhausted from not getting enough sleep."Are you okay?" He asked in concern."Of course I am." I lied.I wasn't okay at all!. How did mates survive sharing a room without mating!. It was fucking insane and surely impossible right?.After making out with our mate for a few minutes, we decided to chat a bit and catch up on how this territory worked.Everything that followed after was okay, until we all decided to share the same bed for the night.Lexi slept peacefully while Evan and I stayed up counting numbers, naming letters and singing a few nursery rhymes.We were very much aroused yet so afraid to fuck our young mate. She was still a kid and it would be pure rape taking her against her will.Fuck that, it would be child abuse and we didn't fuck kids!. Never did we in our entire lives."Ryan, you don't look too well, honestly speaking." He said simply.Fuck!. Why wasn't
Evan's p.o.vAlmost everything was a pain to us. A few weeks had gone by and we were always busy and tired. At first I thought we were supposed to focus on rebuilding the warriors wing but man was I wrong, Uncle wanted us to build more houses around and a large training field. We also had to put a fountain right after the pack's entrance and a parking garage behind the pack house.I was usually grumpy because I mostly went to bed very late at night and we couldn't talk or chat to our mate because she was usually fast asleep.Early in the morning we went back to work again. The only time we saw her was when we were having breakfast or supper but we spoke less.My wolf was frustrated and I understood him."You look pissed." Ryan said in a low tone."No shit." I spat sarcastically."Who offended you, is it August?" He asked playfully."August can't even look our way, he's keeping his distance." I answered then pressed my hand on my hip."Then who crossed your path?" He asked seriously.
Lexi's p.o.vI was moaning loudly and trying to push his finger's out of my wetness as he continued to finger me."Enough, please." I begged then threw my head on the pillow and shifted my hips forward.It was slightly painful to have his two fingers thrusting roughly in and out of me, but it also made my body want more.His other hand was groping my breast while his thumb brushed against my nipple over and over.How the hell were we doing this when a second ago we were just kissing.My forehead was sweaty and my breath was badly labored. No matter how much I was begging him to stop, he was ignoring me and doing whatever he wanted. A part of me was afraid, but the other part was very happy and excited."Evan." I called in a low voice that came out as a moan.He stopped his movements and looked at me seriously. His eyes were switching from his usual color to a different one.When I had called him a few minutes ago and told him how it was beginning to hurt, he stopped for a second but
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
