Ian's p.o.vI was woken up by Blade calling me through our mind link."Alpha." I blinked a few times then looked at Amelia who was still asleep next to me. Her head was resting against my chest and my arm was around her waist, she looked at peace and calm with her eyes closed."I could never get used to seeing this angel sleeping next to me." I said silently."As cheesy as your words sound., I agree." Axel answered.I smiled widely then leaned in and kissed her head."Are you mocking me?" I asked him calmly."Not really. It's just surprising how you would be saying something cheesy when you hated cheesy lines." He answered with a huff.So he really was teasing me."People can change." I answered then slowly pulled my hand from under her, carefully making sure she was still asleep."Alpha." Blade called again."I'm up." I answered through our mind link then moved to the edge of the bed."My love." Amelia whispered in a cracked voice as I halted my movements."
Amelia's p.o.vI stood seriously on the training grounds with Ian in front of me. His expression was rather cold and his stance intimidating.He wore blue jeans and a white vest. His hair was brushed backward and it made him look very attractive.As for me, I was in a brown short and a baggy blue shirt, not that I wanted to but because Ian had asked me to put them on. A few days ago we were happily chatting and spending time together. When I joked about being weak, he comforted me and pointed out how I was the strongest in our pack. I was happy to hear that but I also felt sad because that was all Aurora. He noticed how I felt and asked me what the problem was. I honestly explained to him how Aurora was the strong one. If I was strong, then I was strong in receiving hits and taking in all the bullying.He was pissed off and asked me to join him on the training grounds whenever he would call me. I agreed easily because I didn't take his words seriously. Now I regret not really asking
Axel's p.o.v"Again." I instructed Amelia loudly.She was trying hard and that was good, but we didn't have much time to slack off. I needed her to train everyday until she was at her best. Ian was concerned over how I was pushing her that very first day but I was purely concerned about her."She is tired." Ian whispered silently.She was about to move when I quickly moved and grabbed her hand.She was breathing heavily and her chest was rising and falling, her forehead was covered with sweat."Did I do it wrong again?" She asked in a cracked voice. She truly was tired but trying so hard to pull through."No, you did well today." I answered, then moved her hand to my lips and kissed it."You actually did great." I whispered.She blushed then smiled widely."Thank goodness. I was worried." She whispered back."What you need right now is rest. We have been here for hours and it's already evening." I pointed out.She looked around and sighed softly."I didn't notice it was this late." Sh
Felix's p.o.v"So will you manage to hold the barrier that can detain about fifteen people?" I asked Lee seriously.He was sitting next to me on the couch and standing in front of us was Chase. We all needed to talk and discuss everything. We had to be prepared for the coming war."With the help of Chase, yes I can." He answered calmly."I thought so as well that's why I told Alpha Ian we would easily hold it up. The problem would be keeping it stable, we need three or four warriors who could stand their ground on protecting us, if one of us was to lose focus the barrier could fall and that would end badly for us if that alpha king comes with his army." Chase said."I'm sure Ian will take care of that, he has a lot of warriors who are capable of standing their ground. My main worry is you guys." I answered honestly while I gazed into Chase's eyes.I really felt uneasy having him fight beside me, if he was to die in front of my eyes It would break me, that I knew despite acting like I
Ian's p.o.v What was with this awkwardness around us?. The last two days that Axel had taken over were a blur to me, I couldn't remember much of what had been said or what was done, all I knew was that he loved every second of it because I felt his emotions. Waking up in control felt amazing, but why the hell was Aurora sitting next to me naked on the bed with a cold expression on her face?. I slowly sat upright and moved to the edge of the bed. I had nothing to say to her at all. If I remember correctly, last time she took over around me, she threatened me and wanted me to call her by title not name. We were not on good terms at all, and having her around wasn't making me feel any better. "Why the hell are you in control?" I asked coldly. She looked at me then shrugged. "Ask Amelia." She answered and stood up from the bed then walked to the bathroom. Her body was covered in bite marks and hickeys. But she seemed not to mind. "Axel, why the fuck did you go hard on her?" I a
Ian's p.o.v"You looked so cute here." Aurora whispered softly then leaned against my chest.I was sitting on the couch with her between my parted legs looking at my old pictures that Nana had given us.I still had no idea that Nana had a few pictures kept for herself. The past few days I took it upon myself to spend quality time with my mate and that's exactly what I did. We first went for a run in the forest, enjoying the wind blowing through our fur and the sound of birds chirping. The scent of the raising dust felt nice and we both felt so free. After that I took her out to eat something nice. At first she was uncomfortable at the place we were, but then suddenly relaxed after having a few drinks. When we got home, we continued drinking and spent the night laughing and chatting in my bedroom.By the time we wanted to sleep, it was already morning. I decided to let her rest as I handled a few documents of the pack. Once she was awake she took a bath and joined Nana in baking sna
Aurora's p.o.vI sat with my hand linked to Ian's own as he drove with his other hand. The whole way he was silent and said nothing.I was surprised when he came into the living room telling me to get up and change into something comfortable."I'm eating?" I pointed out seriously.He walked to where I was and lifted the tray with a serious expression on his face."Aurora now." He ordered.I didn't want to go against him so I found myself doing exactly as he had ordered. I rushed into the bathroom and put on comfortable clothes. When he came back, he immediately walked to the wardrobe pulling out two packed suitcases. There and then I clearly understood what was going on, we were going to another territory because the alpha king was finally tracking me down.I helped out with carrying everything to the car after we said our goodbyes to Nana and a few warriors. While driving, Ian was looking in the rearview mirror and I could feel how worried he was over everything."Ian." I called soft
Ian's p.o.v"Was that necessary?. The way you treated my woman coldly?" I asked Felix seriously.She glared at me then shrugged."You are in love so you can't see how much of a threat she is." She answered, pissing me off."What the fuck Samantha, has she ever done something that put your life in danger?" I yelled on top of my voice.She widened her eyes in shock.I rarely yelled at her, I only did it whenever I was very pissed."Are you yelling at me because of an Alpha queen?" She asked loudly as I felt Axel pull through.She quickly cleared her throat then looked away."Axel." She greeted me in a low voice."Show some respect to our mate and woman as we do to your wizard friend and fairy." He spat then pulled back.She looked back at us but this time with a soft expression."I'm sorry Ian, I guess I went a little too far with my horrible words." She whispered softly."It's fine, I understand." I answered honestly."She freaks me out even if she has done nothing to me." She said as
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
