Amelia's p.o.v "How are you holding up?" Felix asked calmly behind me. I put the watering can on the ground and stood upright. "I'm holding up well." I answered then turned and faced her with a forced smile. "Really I'm glad, for a second I thought you were holding out badly. But seeing that beautiful forced smile on your face, I'm pretty sure you are doing alright." She said then turned and walked back into the house before I could respond. So she could tell that I wasn't happy here. I turned back and grabbed the can from the ground. As I watered the flowers I blinked back the forming tears. Was this place bad for me?. No, it was actually the best place I had ever been to. It was a quiet place and peaceful too, I was observing everything and In just a few days I learnt a few things about everyone I was living with. Lee was usually serious and very possessive over Jeannie. For a warlock that came as a surprise but I paid no attention to it. At night he left for work, it turns
Ian's p.o.v I was losing my mind and couldn't stop thinking about her. For a week I had looked everywhere!. Her former, burnt-down pack!. And even the forest as well as my whole pack but nothing. I had no idea where she could be and now I was fearing for the worst. She was just a slave girl with no clothes, money, or any skills of survival, was she by any chance killed?. That thought made my knees weak. I slowly moved to the couch and sat down. Only two days remained until the full moon and I still felt uneasy. "Axel, please tell me where she is." I whispered softly. "I too don't know." Came his reply. I furiously stood up and growled loudly. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" I screamed on top of my voice. When he kept quiet I furiously moved to the desk and flipped it in anger. The door burst open and Neo rushed in, behind him was Sherry who was keeping her distance. She knew me well and she wasn't dumb. Whenever I was upset she kept to herself until I was calm. Whenever
Ian's p.o.vI was in the office trashing the documents and going through papers.There was supposed to be something in there that would lead me to her whereabouts.Axel was many things but never dumb. There was no way he was going to send her away without a place to stay or some money. He knew exactly where she was and who she was with. Having him tell me was impossible so I was going to find out all by myself one way or another.I glanced at the window for a second and noticed the sun set.Today was the night of the full moon. I was afraid and I couldn't calm down. I sat down on the chair and scrolled through the files.When the door opened and Neo walked in I paid no attention."Alpha, the basement cell is all done and set." He announced.I furiously shoved the laptop from the desk and stood up. My chest was rising and falling."I don't want to look at you right now." I said huskily."I understand alpha, but today will be the night of the full moon. We both know h
Neo's p.o.vI walked into Sherry's bedroom with a smile after making sure Blade was outside the door of the basement guarding it.She quickly stood up and walked to me happily. I put the empty whiskey bottle on the ground proudly and looked at her from head to toe"Finally you are here." She whispered then wrapped her arms around my neck."What, were you waiting for me?" I asked playfully.She dropped her hands and took a step back."Of course I was. No man has ever made me feel the way that you do." She said softly then pulled her blouse over her head.I smirked and approached her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her closer to me."Are you being serious right now or just boosting my ego?" I asked seriously.The smile on her face instantly vanished."I am being serious Neo." She answered."You really know how to win my favour, that I acknowledge but going this far is insane." I whispered softly.She moved her hand and touched my cheek gently."Why d
Amelia's p.o.vI couldn't stop moving back and forth in the living room. My whole body was trembling and tears from my eyes couldn't stop falling."Amelia, please calm down. Felix is on her way." Chase said softly in an assuring voice."I can't calm down damn it!" My wolf made me growl out furiously startling him when the place slightly shook.He quickly took a step back with a labored breath and widened eyes."You......" Was all he could whisper."Stay back." I whispered under my breath, I could feel my wolf was at the blink of snapping at anyone who would approach us.No one was home at the moment, only me and him were in the house. He was human and incapable of sustaining our attacks if we were to jump on him in fury.Everything happened so fast and I was feeling confused as well. A while ago I was in my room happily reading a book on the bed when I felt a sad overwhelming feeling invade my heart.At first, I took it as nothing and I tried to ignore it, but it onl
Aurora's p.o.v I jumped over a huge log landing on fours and continued to approach Ian's pack border. Although it was beginning to get dark, my movements were fast and my other senses were at full height, I could inhale Ian's scent from afar. It was unpleasant because it was covered in blood, whiskey, and Otis. My guess was that he was poisoned either by his own hand or by someone else. Either way the fool didn't deserve to die by anyone's hand, only mine. Felix stopped running ahead and turned with a shocked expression as I approached her and jumped over her. "Amelia." She called in more of a question. I picked up my pace and crossed the pack's border. As I ran into the woods I could inhale the fear of many werewolves and hear their loud screams. As the pack came into view I could see a few warriors gathered around while some were running back and forth yelling and warning the pack members to stay hidden. Neo rushed outside and right behind him was Sherry. Blade, Logan, and the
Felix's p.o.vI dialed Lee's line with a trembling hand.I glanced at Aurora before stepping out of the room."Felix." Lee's voice answered.I moved the phone to my ear then sighed softly."You need to make ....""A portal to where you are right?. Chase called me a few minutes ago and Informed me about everything going on, give me a few hours to locate you. I also need to brew a herb that will make the poison stay dormant for as long as it can, my spells are amazing but they won't be of much help without the herb I have to brew." He answered."Look Lee, we don't have hours but an hour as of now." I said seriously."I'm sorry Felix, I can't make it in an hour. If you had said two hours It would have been possible. The herb I have to brew needs time." He answered as I furiously crushed the cell phone in my hand.What the fuck was I to tell the alpha Queen In there. "Sorry Aurora, my friend couldn't help you?"No, she would sink her venomous teeth in me.This was a h
Felix's p.o.v"Let me get this straight Chase. You are a fairy, who's older than you look?" I asked."Yes, to be specific I'm....way above thirty years." He answered as I laughed."You kidding me right?. Have you taken a fucking good look at yourself in the mirror?. You look like a fucking twenty-year-old." I spat."Right back at you Samantha, you look like a twenty-year-old when you are way older than that." He answered, making me cringe."Don't call me that." I warned, seriously. The damn name only reminded me of my parents who were freaks stuck on perfecting me and making use of what I was."Sorry." He muttered under his breath."It's fine, let's continue. You also said that me drinking your blood had its own effect, what did you mean by that." I asked seriously.He rubbed his forehead then dropped his hand."All fairy's blood to a vampire is like a sweet and nice addiction. It's not because I'm a virgin but because I'm a fairy that you enjoy sucking my blood.
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
Diaz's POVWe sat in the living room as if we were animals in a zoo. They were all looking at us like we were crazy.Some decided to sit, while others chose to stand.We told our true story, yet they still had their doubts. Was it because we weren't telling them everything?"I don't like this," Mariana mind-linked me."Same, sister, but just hang in there. Our first plan was successful, and as we predicted, they had an ancient witch who could read minds, so we are safe," I mind-linked her back."Brother, is this truly worth the trouble?" she asked, still using our mind-link.I coldly glanced at her and then smiled. She quickly shifted her gaze from me and smiled back."I still feel like they are hiding something," Ian said loudly, getting everyone's attention.He was standing behind Amelia, who sat on the couch looking at us seriously.We knew Ian through stories we had heard, and when we finally met him, we recognized him just by the way he was overprotective towards our cousin. He a
Ian's POV Garren raised his hand but stopped when the Alpha Queen said some words in what sounded like Greek.We all looked at her like she was crazy.She continued to say words and then smiled innocently at us.I wanted to rip off her damn head because I felt something was wrong.I was surprised when Garren shifted back to his human form, clothes instantly appearing on his body. "Couldn't you have said that sooner?" he asked loudly, then turned and looked at Lexi."Thank you for the clothes," he said loudly, and then looked at us."Is he fucking insane? Giving his back to the enemies?" I asked through our pack's mind-link."Dad, Garren is never this careless. He knows what he is doing," Roxanne answered.I hated her judgment, but she was my little girl, and I chose to believe in her."You guys have to hear them out," he said as everyone looked at each other in disbelief."Garren, it seems you have grown soft over the years. Step aside; I'll take care of them," I said as I began to
THREE YEARS LATER Kyle's POV I stood next to my pregnant mate, smiling at Lui, who was waving on stage happily next to his Beta.After a few years, he was finally the Alpha. The ritual was successful, and his parents behind him looked so happy, just like his mate."I'm so proud of him," Tamara said cheerfully through our pack's mind-link.I looked behind and smiled when my eyes met my father's, who smiled back and gave a nod.He was standing next to my mother, and right behind him were Whitney's pack members, who were part of my family, along with Felix and her whole household.August, Tanya, his father-in-law, and a few friends of my father, whom he had met at the party in human territory—Alpha Glen, Sky, Sol, and Jace with their mates—stood further away.Having my whole family and a few pack warriors represent us and our respectable alliance that was going to soon take place filled my heart with peace.The past few years, Lui did his best, and his Beta was finally well-known in ot
