Uncle's p.o.v"Alpha hold your ground, you don't have to cross to the other side to protect Aurora!" I exclaimed for the second time."But she needs protection from the Alpha king." He answered loudly.I sighed softly then moved my hands to my hips."No Alpha she doesn't. If there is anyone who needs protection here it is you." I said seriously."Why is that?" Jeannie asked."Because the Alpha king won't hurt Aurora even If she aims to kill him. He needs her for himself that's why he will try to kill Alpha Ian and knock her out. Alpha you are what's standing in his way." I answered sincerely.He kept quiet then sighed softly. He had a cold expression on his face and his hands were clenched in fists."That's why I told you exactly what to do." I said then looked at Lee and Chase."Immediately you two are alerted of his approach, I want you to begin lifting the barrier." I instructed."No, that won't be possible." Chase responded."And why is that?" I asked."We need to lower the Alpha
Uncle's p.o.v"Chase and Lee begin with the barrier. Jeannie, go out right now, uncle will be behind you. Felix and Aurora, you know what to do." Alpha Ian instructed as Lee grabbed Jeannie's hand and chanted a few words in an ancient language."You now have Aurora's scent, the Alpha king won't doubt that you are her." He said, then closed the space between them and kissed her deeply.I looked away and waited for her to pull back. When she did and called my name I quickly looked at her."Let's go." She said with a serious expression on her face."Sure." I answered then followed her behind.It had been long since I was in a serious battle. Although I wasn't training everyday at the mansion, I made sure I was fit and ready for any attack that would come my way."Uncle." She called softly once she was at the edge of the barrier. "Yes." I answered calmly."Please, whatever happens, make sure Lee lives his life happily." She said softly then walked past the barrier before I could respond.
Whitney's p.o.v. I charged at my mate furiously as he took his strong stance. I was about to bite down on his shoulder when I froze from nowhere in front of him. My body and muscles couldn't move. He growled to challenge me then took a step forward. "Sia, what are you doing!" I screamed silently. I could feel my wolf fighting for control. She was doing everything in her power to stop me from attacking our mate and that came as a shock. Never in all my years has she ever intervened in my life or battles!. Sia was a quiet wolf if not mute. Ever since I became of age and became a part of me, she has never spoken a word to me. We never had each other's back or ever supported one another. At first I thought she was a shy wolf so I paid no attention to her, but as years went on it became clear she was either mute or she hated me to the bone. I could feel her emotions and know what she was thinking. That's how I knew what her name was. Besides that, I couldn't see past anything. Tha
Ian's p.o.vMy heart was beating rapidly as Jeannie rushed into the barrier, she was breathless and kept looking behind her."He's coming and he isn't alone." She said loudly when she reached us."Jeannie, no matter what you can't shift into your wolf form, he will know." I said then handed her a dagger I was given by Lee to give to her once she had returned."This dagger is from Lee, it has Otis and wolfsbane applied to it, so please be careful with it." I whispered softly. "Don't worry Alpha, I won't disappoint you." She said seriously then took it from my hand."Lee and Chase have already begun with the barrier. Once he walks in, they will begin to ..." I cut my sentence short when a tall huge man walked past the barrier with a few werewolves behind.I frowned, surprised at how the barrier was not being lifted when he had walked in."Neo, tell Lee and Chase to fucking lift it now!" I mind linked him."Right away Alpha." He answered.The man stood looking at Jeannie seriously with
Aurora's p.o.vI quickly stood up from the couch with a towel around my chest and ran into Ian's embrace immediately as he walked in."Thank goodness you are safe." I whispered softly.He grabbed my shoulders and made me step back a little.I stayed still while he carefully looked at me from head to toe."She is safe and okay as you can see." Felix mocked loudly.I quickly moved my hand to my face in embarrassment.How could I forget everyone who was in the room?. My mind was so focused only on him that I paid no attention to the others.He leaned in and kissed my head lightly then pulled back with a chuckle."You don't have to be embarrassed." He whispered softly then grabbed my hand and linked it to his.I turned and faced Felix who was now looking better than she was before.Her clothes were dirty and her hair was messy, she was resting her head on Chase's shoulder while their hands were linked to each other. "How are you feeling now Samantha?" Ian asked calmly."That blow was br
Felix's p.o.v"What's with this setting?" I asked softly while resting my back against Chase's chest. His arms were wrapped around me and where we were sitting was comfortable.Everyone sat quietly around the fire at night just gazing at it.When uncle called us all to come outside, we did that without hesitation but now I was regretting because nothing was happening."This feels nice." Aurora whispered softly then wrapped her arms around Ian's waist. She was sitting on his lap and resting her head against his chest."It sure is." Ian whispered back then embraced her."Okay fine what the fuck is going on?" I asked when I sat upright.I was about to move when Chase's arms pulled me back."Relax." He whispered in my ear sending shivers throughout my body.I instantly relaxed and cleared my throat."Who the fuck is she uncle?" I asked loudly while I pointed a finger at the she-wolf who was sitting next to him on the mat.He looked at her for a few seconds then linked his hand to hers."T
Neo's p.o.v"Home sweet home." Logan said cheerfully then quickly rushed ahead to where the Alpha and Luna where.I sighed then slowed my pace. Blade looked at me with concern then slowed his pace as well."What's wrong with you?" He asked softly."What do you mean by that question?" I asked back playing dumb."You are supposed to feel happy that we took care of that bastard and now we are back at our own pack." He pointed out.I was happy to be back at the pack, at the same time I wasn't. I had to face Sherry for the last time as well as avoid Toni."I am happy to be back." I answered."You are lying." He said seriously.I shook my head then increased my walking pace. I no longer wanted to talk to him about anything."I so want to be laid." One twin said playfully."I know right. I too want to have someone sexy suck me off. Should we charm a few she-wolves?" The other twin asked."Yeah, that's a great idea. Count me in." Blade said as we approached the pack house.Nana, Toni and a fe
Ian's p.o.vI stood in front of our pack's previous slaves, listening to their murmurs and whispers.At first when I ordered the twins to bring them to where I was, they looked stunned and full of questions, but once I growled at them in warning, they quickly did as I had said. When I met the females, they all kept quiet and feared to speak.Bringing out Amelia was a bad move and things would only get worse because she was an Alpha queen and they had once witnessed her full strength.I had to think fast and that's why I called out Toni to stand by my side. She was hesitant at first but soon became confident and encouraged everyone to speak out."Have any of my warriors been good to you?. Did anyone hit or talk down on you while I was away?" I asked in concern.A tall blond she-wolf stepped forward and shook her head."No Alpha, to be honest. Yesterday when the twins came to the demolished wings and found me carrying a heavy load, they reluctantly offered me their help." She said serio
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
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
