Ian's p.o.vWe ran in our wolf form following the tracks that Toni was leading. She was up ahead focused on the surroundings and any slight movements she could hear. Her wolf was very small compared to mine yet it looked strong-willed and very serious.When she shifted in front of Axel, he immediately stepped back and gave me control. I reluctantly shifted as well and decided to go with whatever plan she had. Going against him would mean him putting me to sleep and I hated that.As I ran beside my warriors, the ground slightly shook and the wind blowing through our fur felt like heavenly bliss. It had been long since I shifted and ran free in the woods. As much as I was worried about finding my mate, it felt amazing."We will find her," Axel whispered softly.Of course we were going to find her, who the hell did he think I was!. I never gave up on what I wanted and what was rightfully mine.I quickly stopped running when she stopped in her tracks and shifted back to her human form.I
Neo's p.o.v I came out of the pack house with a smile. I was finally letting go of Sherry and on the other hand, I was very happy to have Ian as my brother and Nana as my mother. I looked at the five parked cars in front of me then stopped walking with a low sigh. The search was going to be hard, but I was very prepared for everything. After all, I had to redeem my bad actions towards my pack and alpha. "Shall we go?" Ian asked behind me while he approached. "Yes," I answered softly then turned and looked at him. Nana was following him behind with her gaze fixed on the ground. "Nana, you look after the pack, we won't be long." He said without turning to look at her. She quickly looked up then nodded. I rolled my eyes and walked to the car which was in front grabbing the door's handle. "Son." She called loudly. I found myself turning to look at her. She was looking at Ian with concern and that made my heart ache. Never did she explain shit to me or take her time to see me, yet
Amelia's p.o.vI sat on a street bench with my arms wrapped around my body. The roads were dark and only a few people were passing by because it was late at night.I was starving, feeling cold, and very tired. When I had agreed to go through with Aurora's plan I didn't sign up to be homeless in human territory! It was the worst yet she still kept on insisting that it was for the greater good of our pack.Damn her. I thought we were going to run far away and live okay, not as beggars."Are you stupid? For us to have food, clothes, and water we need money. I can make it on my own but you can't, that's why I am thinking thoroughly about what our next move should be, for now, let's be happy beggars." She answered.I rolled my eyes and pulled the damn coat I had on tighter. Although I had arrived a few hours ago I couldn't find something to eat."So where should we get everything?" I asked sarcastically."We need to find a job tomorrow." She answered, upsetting me."Was this really your g
Amelia's p.o.vImmediately the car was parked in front of the pack house, Neo and Toni got out and walked in."Ian, listen," I whispered.He opened the door and walked out without shutting it. I quickly came out and followed him behind as he walked into the pack house."Please let me explain everything to you," I said loudly when he reached his room.He turned and faced me seriously."I don't want to hear you talk or say a damn thing. For now, what I need is to be left alone so I can think clearly." He answered then turned back and opened the door walking in.I quickly walked in too and closed the door behind me. I wasn't going to leave his side no matter what, he needed to hear me out and understand everything."I truly didn't mean to hurt you this badly. You see, it was all because of ...."I was grabbed by the hand and pushed on the bed roughly as I fell down bouncing a bit."You really love it when I lose it don't you?" He asked in a deeper voice.His eyes were red and his growl w
Ian's p.o.v"Alpha please." She whispered pleadingly as I cummed in her for the sixth time and this time knotted her. I didn't want to but I couldn't stop myself. I just couldn't help myself.After her leaving me behind for what felt like forever, I went crazy in search of her. There and then my feelings and Axel's became clear. To never go through that shit again we were going to knot her and make her bear our pup. Either she wanted it or not."I can't pull out right now because I have knotted you," I answered honestly then leaned in and kissed her lips tenderly.She looked at me in shock but sighed softly and wrapped her arms around my shoulders responding to my kiss."I guess this is all my fault plus I am willing to carry your pup. Not because I am obliged to, but because I want to." She answered through our mind link, surprising me.I touched her cheeks gently then moved my hand to her neck where I had marked her."Do you really mean it?" I asked softly.She sighed softly and chu
Amelia's p.o.vI woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested. I was about to turn when I felt a hand around my waist pull me back."Sleep a little bit more," Ian whispered behind me as beautiful tingles spread throughout my entire body that made me relax.A smile formed across my face as yesterday's memories flooded my mind. My cheeks were heating up and his arms felt warm.A kiss on my shoulder made me turn and face him."Afternoon." He whispered softly then leaned in and kissed my lips lightly then pulled back."Afternoon?" I asked in a hoarse voice."Yes, you slept through the night and morning. I guess I overdid it and wore you out, I'm sorry." He answered then sat upright.I moved my hand to my mouth and laughed softly.Was he worried about me!. Was Ian seriously worried about me that he even had to apologize!. This was the best feeling ever."Handsome." Aurora purred happily. She had been quiet since we came back and I thought she wanted to stay that way, but no
Ian's p.o.vI was exhausted and lay down on my stomach first. My back was paining from the nail scratches Axel had received from Aurora. To say their sex was aggressive was an understatement, they were unbelievable!I couldn't believe how he had her on fours with his hand pulling her hair roughly while he fucked her. I was rough too but not with my mate. He gave her no time to breathe because after cumming he forced her on top of him and had her ride me. As much as she was tired, she couldn't stop.He even took it in the shower fucking her against the wall. I had to retreat when he took it on the floor and the desk raw, watching it made me want to call on Amelia and have her in that very way, but I understand that her body was definitely beyond exhausted. Were they that horny while they acted as if they were calm? Damn them."Ian," Amelia called beside me. She had bite marks all over her body and cum covering her stomach and thighs."Yes, baby." I answered softly."I am very exhauste
Amelia's p.o.vI woke up still feeling very exhausted and sore. I sat upright and winced in pain."Damn it Aurora, did you really have to go that hard with Axel?" I asked her silently."Of course. How are we to carry their pup if we don't have them knot us as much as they can?" She asked back happily as I sighed loudly.She really was living in the moment that she was forgetting our worst fear."You have a point Aurora, but did you think things through seriously? We haven't told our mate about the alpha king who desperately wants to make us his bride, and us getting pregnant right now will only be a burden to Ian and everyone. How could we defend ourselves from that old bastard if we were heavy with a pup?" I asked sadly while I stood up."Remember why we ran away from the man we truly love with our whole heart. That old bastard is definitely stronger than us and we can't involve our mate into this, yes I want to carry his pup because it's my joy as his mate, but I'
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
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
