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'
Ian's p.o.vAfter having lunch with Amelia, I went to my office and sat down to think through everything.My hands were tied when it came to the Alpha king and she looked so worried about everything.I had said those words to calm her down and I did mean it when I said I would die for her because I was ready to lay down my life. What I feared was the fact that the bastard who was coming after her was of royal blood, which meant he had a lot of experience, skills, and an army. If Aurora would easily overpower my whole pack by just standing her ground as an alpha queen, then the bastard was a way stronger threat to my people. He would wipe us out completely. That alone made me anxious. I needed to find a way to defeat the bastard or kill him."How about seeking advice from Felix and her family?" Axel asked seriously."What!" I exclaimed."You heard me. Seek advice from her." He answered in nearly a loud growl."You don't mean advice, you mean help, don't you?" I asked."I don't care w
Felix's p.o.v"What's up with you?" Jeannie asked seriously.I glared at her then walked past her angrily. She quickly rushed to where I was and grabbed my hand."Felix, I am talking to you!" She exclaimed loudly."What!" I spat when I turned and faced her."What the hell is wrong with you? Since yesterday you have been acting up. Are you fighting with Chase?" She asked as I glared at her."What the hell, does everything revolve around him?" I asked back seriously. "Not really, it doesn't. But you do show him care that you show no one." She answered as I sighed in defeat.She wasn't wrong with that, but that didn't mean he and I were all lovey-dovey. Since that talk we had at Ian's pack I thought everything would change between us but it didn't. I would feed from him as usual then ask him to leave hoping he would put up a fight, but the asshole just smiled and excused himself. I was already fucking pissed and agitated by the damn situation. As if that bullshit wasn't enough, I had t
Amelia's p.o.vI glanced at Toni a few times while eating, then at Nana who was smiling at me. Ian was quietly eating and he looked very calm sitting next to Neo who was drinking whiskey without touching his food.The atmosphere in the room wasn't bad, but for some reason, it wasn't good either."Should I talk to them?" I asked Aurora silently."Don't bother." Ian answered through our mind link.I quickly looked at him with a frown.I still wasn't used to him hearing everything I was thinking about openly, that's why he easily found out about the alpha king."Why?. It feels awkward eating in silence." I said through our mind link.He looked at me then carefully put his fork beside his plate."Brother." He called softly then turned and looked at Neo who raised his head and looked back at him."Have you decided what we should do with your rejected mate Sherry?" He asked seriously as Neo's expression turned cold for a second before he looked at Toni with a pleading ex
Neo's p.o.vI stood staring at my mate again in silence. I didn't know what to say or how to act around her. She wasn't the first mate I had ever been blessed with by the moon goddess yet it all felt new.I was upset with Ian a few minutes ago because of how he wanted to make her uncomfortable. If I was to stay and entertain his crap he would have targeted her even more. But then he was who I ought to thank, because of him I couldn't just let my mate see me as some guy who couldn't defend or try to comfort her."I'm so sorry," I said softly then cleared my throat and sat down on the table grabbing my fork."Ian may be cold at times and very rude, but that doesn't mean he is a bad person." I said without looking at her.I was about to eat when I heard her sniff.She was in tears even before I had walked back into the room, I could smell it yet I had to pretend that I knew nothing.I was happy to have a second chance mate, to be honest. But as joyous as I was, I was very afraid of givin
Amelia's p.o.v"Are you okay?'" Nana asked as we walked in the pack corridor."Yes, I'm just a little nervous." I answered honestly.I woke up to an empty bed and ate breakfast without Ian. I didn't want to ask where he was or go around searching for him, because he was a busy man. As the alpha of the pack, he was obviously taking care of important things, that's why I decided to take a bath, dress, and visit Toni. But Nana showed up once I was done dressing up and then asked me to join her outside the pack. When I asked if something was going on, she told me it was Ian's orders.I didn't know why he would ask for me and that only made me feel even more nervous the closer we moved to the entrance."You don't have to be, Ian is your mate. I'm sure he just misses you." She answered softly when we came out of the pack house."Aurora what do you think?" I asked silently."Trust him." She answered then kept quiet.We went to the training field where loud noises were coming from. Immediatel
Ian's p.o.v"How are you holding up?" Neo asked in my office.I put the file I was going through on the table and looked at him."I'm alright brother, I'm more concerned about you." I answered honestly."Why me?" He asked."Because I have decided to kill your ex-mate's wolf." I answered.He moved and pulled out a chair which was opposite me then sat down."It's better than brutally killing her. I won't lie, I didn't expect you to show mercy on her, you really have changed Ian." He said then smirked."Women do play a major role in one's life." He muttered as I rolled my eyes."Quit being funny." I pointed out then relaxed in my seat."We will make sure the pack members adjust and adapt to the new rules, so don't worry and leave everything to us." He answered.I brushed my fingers through my hair then sat upright."I hope it turns out well, you know." I whispered."It will, but... was it a good idea to keep everyone in the dark?" He asked."You mean I should have told them about the Alp
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
