Lexi's p.o.vI stood looking at the twins, Leomord, August, alpha Ian and a few warriors playing soccer.I still couldn't understand how everything escalated so fast. The twins were talking about how they were so good at football and Leomord pointed out how he was obviously way better than them because football was one of his best games. In a second it all blew up.The next thing I knew, they were already set on the training field for a challenge. August joined the twins while alpha Ian went to Leomord's side. A few warriors joined in too and the game began.So far two hours had passed and yet no one could score."Are they still at it?" Whitney asked while she approached me."Yes, they all don't want to quit or step back ." I answered."Leo!" She called loudly.He looked at her and waved for a second before going back to what he was doing."He won't listen." I said honestly."They won't listen to her, but they will listen to me." Amelia answered behind us.I smirked knowing fully well
Ian's p.o.vWe drove back to the pack, chatting here and there.Amelia sat in front of the car with me while the twins sat behind with Lexi.I moved my hand and pressed it on her thigh gently.She sniffed and moved her hand on top of mine.She became so emotional while saying her goodbye to Whitney and Leomord, since then she couldn't cheer up."We are crossing the pack's border." I announced and made a turn."How did you convince Whitney to let Lexi come with us?" She asked the twins in a low tone."We earned her trust some time back." Ryan answered."That's good." She answered softly.I smiled when the pack house came into view. As we got closer, I could see Neo standing next to Toni with his hand linked to her's. On his left was my mother and his right stood Logan and Blade."Home sweet home." I whispered when I parked the car a few meters away from them.Amelia wasted no time in getting out and rushing to hug My mother.I smiled widely then stepped out of the car as well going to
Kylie's p.o.vI reached the door to Blade's house and took in a deep breath then released it.Although he had asked me to stay with him and usually pointed out that it was now our home, I felt uncomfortable.I touched the door knob and turned it with a forced smile on my face."I'm home." I said when I moved in."I'm in the living room." His voice came through."Coming." I answered then pressed on the side of the wheelchair as it moved.I frowned when I picked up two strong different scents.Immediately I moved into the living room, the two men who were sitting stood up.My wolf instantly acknowledged them and I tried to move to show my respect when Blade ran to my side screaming "No!"He knelt down in front of me trying to stop me."Please step aside, I have to greet the Alpha and Beta." I pleaded.He moved his hands to my cheeks and made me look at him."Calm down okay." He whispered softly as I slowly did.My wolf wasn't okay with us not paying our respect and I too felt the same.
Amelia's p.o.vWe all sat in the living room waiting for Blade and his mate to come in."Everyone remember what I told you?" Ian asked."Make her feel comfortable as much as possible. Don't show your dominance or bring up Blade's past." Neo said.When I inhaled Blade's scent, I quickly stood up with a smile.He walked in with her and stood at the entrance as everyone stood up.I quickly rushed in front of her and stood facing her."Luna." She greeted me and then wanted to bow when I leaned in and embraced her happily."Welcome to the family." I whispered softly then pulled back.She looked stunned for a second then smiled with blurry eyes."Thank you." She whispered.Ian moved and wrapped his arm around my waist."Alpha Ian." She greeted with a low bow."It's a pleasure to meet you." He said."Likewise." She answered."I should say, I'm amazed and very impressed over how you help our pack. We were all excited to have you join our family." He said as she moved her hands wiping off her
SIDE STORY & BONUS CHAPTERS Felix's p.o.v"Any news from Ian?" Lee asked in the living room.I kept quiet ignoring him as I looked at my phone seriously."Felix!" He exclaimed loudly.I looked at him for a second then went back to looking at my phone again."What's the matter with you?. For the past week you have been acting strange." He said.I stood up and walked out of the room without a word, going into my bedroom.Last week I received a text on my phone from an unknown number.To a normal human being and some other supernatural beings, it would look like an irrelevant text with jumbled words and letters when it was a serious message directed to me in vampire code.It read. "Next week saturday. Alley. 9 pm. Samantha Vyklin." Whoever it was made sure to let me know that they knew me so damn well.I couldn't stop thinking about who it could be.My parents wouldn't be the ones who had sent the text, because they had no idea where I was or what my phone number
Felix's p.o.vWe sat opposite looking at each other in the hotel room.She shifted uncomfortably in her seat pulling her mini skirt down with a fake smile plastered on her face."You brought me here because you have a lot of questions to ask me right?. Please feel free to go ahead." She said then rubbed her hand on her thigh."Am I making you uncomfortable?" I asked seriously."No, not at all." She answered then sighed heavily."Yes, a lot." She answered and lowered her gaze."Why is that?" I asked seriously."Because you are very good looking and attractive." She answered, annoying me.I leaned against my chair looking at her from head to toe for the second time."Did I not tell you back in the alley?. I'm not a man, I'm a....""Woman, I get it." She answered loudly then faced me "Being attractive has nothing to do with gender." She answered strongly.I huffed then sat upright."I'm going to ask you a few questions which I need honest answers to. If you lie to me I'll know and I'll
Felix's p.o.vI stood outside the house waiting for Ian to pick up the call."Felix." He answered calmly."I need your help." I said without hesitation.Ever since going through so much hardship and memories together, Ian was now my best friend. Although I had pride in most cases, he was the closest person I could talk to."What's wrong?" He asked in concern."My parents, they are dead." I answered sadly.The line went quiet for a few seconds."My condolences." He whispered."Yeah thanks." I said as I moved away from the house."I want to look into the eyes of the one that killed them. So I'm leaving town tomorrow." I said then continued talking."If you would like to come along I would really appreciate it, because your help will be highly needed.""Mmm, Felix you know how much I hate your kind right?" He asked."Yes." I answered in a low tone."So count me in, I would like to break a bone or two in them." He said.I thought he wouldn't want to go because of that very reason!."I'll
Felix's p.o.vI stood at the door entrance looking at Ian who stood between Neo and Blade."Aren't you going to let us in?" He asked seriously."What the fuck Ian." I said in a whisper."What?" He asked loudly."Did I ask you to bring the whole fucking pack at my doorstep?" I asked on top of my voice."Don't be dramatic Samantha, these are my buddies not my pack. If I wanted to bring my whole pack here, I would have come with Amelia, Logan, Toni....""I get it!" I exclaimed then looked at Neo who had a damn smirk on his face."Good to see you Felix." He said with a wave.I ignored him and looked at Blade seriously."Did Ian force you to come along?" I asked him."Me, no way, I came because I wanted to. We were all having a drink when you called. We all heard your conversation and decided to join in wherever you are going." He answered."Did you put me on fucking loud speaker!" I asked Ian on top of my voice."Ah, fuck off." He spat then pushed me from the door as I stumbled a bit.He
Kyle's POV It felt so unreal when my father called Larson and me into his office to tell us how we had to prepare ourselves because tomorrow the ceremony was going to take place.All we could do was look at each other and then at him in excitement. We were also nervous about everything."How are you feeling?" Larson asked me seriously.We were in the training field exercising."A little of everything. You know, scared, nervous, excited, and happy," I answered simply."What about you? How do you feel?" I asked."I feel so nervous and scared, but also excited because I have always looked forward to standing by your side when you take over as Alpha," he answered."I'm glad," I said honestly."Larson and Kyle, go to the border right now," my father's command came through the pack's mind link."Gosh, what now?" I whispered and then began to walk to the border with Larson right by my side."Maybe we are receiving other visitors," he said."Like who? Every member of our family is right in t
Ian's POV"Are you sure they aren't close by?" I asked Neo."I am positive, Ian. Tamara, Lexi, and Yuki went to give Tanya a tour of our pack. As for Blade, Larson and Kyle, they went to help Nana and Sharon with something," he answered."Okay," I whispered, then cleared my throat and looked at everyone seriously."I'm glad to have you all here today, and I'm also kind of proud of you, August, for choosing your mate instead of some women who took you out of your misery," I said, then laughed softly when he rolled his eyes."The main reason I asked most of you to come over wasn't only because of August, but because of my son and nephew," I said, and then moved forward."I have wanted to take a step away from everything and finally step back from being an active Alpha for a few years now. Unfortunately, Amelia was against it because she knew Kyle wasn't ready. That's why we sent him to the training camp," I said seriously."But now Amelia and I truly believe he is ready. We have also se
August's POV "Are you okay?" Tanya asked seriously.I wasn't okay in any way, but I wasn't going to tell her that.I was already nervous while driving, but now that we were here, I felt like I had made a wrong decision.I could see the twins laughing and mocking Tanya, and us fighting because of that. I could also see Felix making a lame comment about how I went for the daughter after the mother failed to make me stay."I am fine," I answered and then frowned when I looked at the entrance.Something was definitely wrong.Not only did we cross Ian's pack, but we were parked close to the pack house, yet no one was there to welcome us. Not even the warriors, when it was so obvious that Ian knew I had crossed his border."Shall we go and knock?" she asked."Yes," I answered and then got out and went to open the door for her."Thank you," she said softly when she stepped out."Don't mention it," I answered and then shut the door."Do I look okay?" she asked in a low tone.I looked at her
Felix's POV"Remind me again, why didn't we use the portal?" I asked Chase, who was driving the car."I told you already, Sammy. Lee and Jeannie will be running a little late," he answered and then gave me a warm smile."They just had to go and visit them; how annoying," I muttered."Family is never annoying," he said in a low tone, then focused on the road.He was right; family was everything, but I was still annoyed that Lee chose to go and visit his family with Jeannie right after Ian had told us about his plans for Kyle and Larson's succession.“Screw him,” I whispered softly."Hey, sweetheart, we have reached," he informed me simply.I looked at the pack house that was visible from afar after we had crossed the border, then sighed.I was really looking forward to seeing my baby girl more than anyone. Besides that, I missed Ian and Amelia a lot, but I wasn't going to openly admit it until they said it first."Remember what we talked about? No more showing disgust towards Larson. W
Kyle's POV "You sound grumpy," Lui said to me on the phone."Maybe it's because your sister hasn't picked up any of my calls. I miss her a lot, and I think you understand how I feel. Or maybe it's because Larson can't stop rubbing it in my face how happy he is," I answered seriously.Yesterday, when he went back with Tamara, I did want them to have a good time together.But when they came back laughing and walking hand in hand, I envied them. I wished Yuki could be here with me. I felt so lonely, and so did Lionel."I told you how she was busy helping Mom out with something. When she is free, I will tell her to call you," he answered."Well, we can't all feel the same way, can we?" I muttered."Dude, she does love you a lot; she is just very busy. Also, is that how a soon-to-be Alpha acts and reacts? Have more dignity and faith in everything and everyone," he said loudly."Says the guy who can't take his mate to that magical place we were," I answered in a mocking tone."How did you
Larson's POV "Do you like the smell?" Tamara asked with a smile.I inhaled deeply and then nodded."I like it," I answered simply.We were in a store looking at perfumes and trying to see which one suited me the most. Although she looked serious whenever she didn't like a scent, she seemed to have a lot of fun.My plan was to go out to eat, but when she saw the store, she asked me to pull over, and I couldn't say no."Although I love this a lot, let me check out that purple one at the far end of the shelf," she said and then went to grab it.I turned and looked at the jewelry display that was close to the entrance. Since we walked in, my eyes had been set on a beautiful blue diamond necklace and how amazing it would look if she wore it."She would love it," my wolf said, making me chuckle."I don't think so. Since we walked in, she didn't even spare a glance at the jewelry," I answered."Maybe she is being considerate of us," he said seriously."Please, we’ve been getting a monthly
Dusk's POV "Maybe a little rest will do," my father said with concern."I don't need rest right now, Father. I want to be stronger and better," I answered seriously."You will with time, but all I am asking you to do right now is rest," he said.I looked at him coldly and then nodded."Fine, I will rest," I answered and then went to sit on a beach that was under a huge tree.The training field was wide and a large area that most warriors used. But there was a certain side that was considered a resting place. Only a few warriors came there to rest, and we figured it would be a good place to use for my training.I hated being watched, and my father knew that. That's why I was relieved when he chose this place."You stay here; I'll be right back. Oh, and I'll ask your sister to bring you some cold water," he said and then walked away.Micah was my cousin, but because my father took her as a daughter, she became my sister.I paid no mind to that because I loved having her as a sister. I
Tamara's POV"Making a speech like that is a little too much," I said seriously in Larson's room.When he called my phone and asked me to come over, I didn't know what to expect, so I put on my best outfit and applied light makeup to my face.As soon as I reached his door, he opened it, grabbed my hand, pulled me in, and shut the door behind us.He was so excited that he couldn't wait for me to sit down when he told me how he and Kyle were soon going to be the acting Beta and Alpha.I was sincerely happy and proud; that's why I hugged him tightly and told him exactly how I was feeling.When I pulled back and sat down, he began sharing a few speeches that he would say on the actual day and asking for my opinion.I told him the truth, and he went on to make a few adjustments to those I liked."Maybe I shouldn't do any of them, seeing how I have never heard anyone ever doing it before," he said in a dejected tone."What? No, you should. Just because no one has ever done it, it doesn't me
August's POV "Am I not doing anything wrong, am I?" I asked Ried as I looked at the tray of breakfast that I had prepared."You are actually being awfully considerate," he answered, making me smile."That's the least I can do for being a jerk to our mate," I replied, then grabbed the tray and nervously walked to the bedroom with it.I wanted what happened between us to happen so badly; that's why I was happy when Ried took the initiative.Now that we had been making love and just being in each other's embrace for the past few days, I was thinking of myself as a selfish bastard who wouldn't let her rest, yet I couldn't stop myself.When Ried decided to be the first one to embrace her, I immediately accepted and took a step back because he was what I was supposed to be to her, and that was an amazing mate. He deserved to mark her before I could even do it.He was so respectful, even when I took over and decided to spend my time with her in bed.I really was lucky to have him as a part
