Cassandra MThank you for waiting. We only have 4–7 chapters left (depending on how long each scene would be when I put them into words) before we close this part of the series. I know we still have open questions, but we have more books coming that will have the answers that you are looking for. Thank you for waiting, lovelies. If I don't update tomorrow, then it means I don't want to cut the chapter/s but don't have time to write all of them in one day. Please be patient (as you've been throughout this book), as ending a story is also as hard as reaching a climax or a difficult scene. And I always take pride in my endings and epilogues, so I always want to give you a good one. 💜

CATHERINE. The males went out to the forest for a game of hunting, as it was the start of autumn and the hunting season in the human world had just begun. I, on the other hand, was in Amara’s office. We just ended a video call with Lexi as we notified her of the furniture that arrived these past few days for the big nursery that we renovated. It was the same nursery that Jace, Tyler, and Austin used when they were babies and the same one I had, but I was there alone during my time. There were three rooms and a big receiving room that served as the play area. Each room was painted according to the parents’ preferences. David and Lexi would be arriving in a few days, and we wanted it to be ready, so David and Colton could use them together. While Amara and Lexi’s pups get to stay with them most of the nights, the idea of a nursery was still very welcome for the much-needed alone time between couples, although Lexi said she didn’t need that. But aside from that, it would also be a

TYLER. Catherine and Amara discussed their conversation with Alpha Lucas over dinner, and everyone got emotional. Although Dad Jake wanted to personally file his candidacy for Council head, Dad and Uncle Aaron warned him that they would tackle him down if he attempted to leave the territory. They knew Dad would do as he pleased, but Uncle Lucas was right — it was better to keep him safe from Alpha Grant’s wrath than regret things later on, especially since it was already out in the open that Alpha Grant never played fair with everything. In the end, he agreed to stay home, as Mom Clair said, if he chose to go, she’d be coming with him, and if they faced danger, then at least they would suffer or die together. It was the wake-up call he needed to hear to finally agree to stay within the territory until Alpha Grant was in custody. Catherine also explained that the other Alphas would file on his behalf, so he didn’t need to worry about it. Usually, if the current head stepped down,

Seven Months after the Beta Union. CATHERINE. My body stirred awake at the sound of an approaching car. I had no idea that I had fallen asleep because I’d been waiting for Tyler and my brother to come home. I was glad I left the window open so I could hear them. My lashes fluttered before I was finally able to open my eyes and stare blankly at the dark ceiling while my heart continuously thudded loudly. My mind was still in a daze, but by impulse, I shoved my blanket off my body and rose to my feet. I made my way to the window, wanting to be sure if it was them that came home. I drew the curtains to peer down at the packhouse ground and saw Jace’s car and another one behind him. They were back. I closed my eyes because this moment felt like something I had experienced. Did I have deja vu? My heart thundered as I swallowed hard, trying to remember a particular memory from my head, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was. No, it can’t be. What was happening? The second car

“To the Moon and the stars that aligned in our favor.” TYLER. “Tyler!” One scream and my whole world turned upside down. It was time. I came home late from accompanying my Alpha to meet Alpha Nicolo - his and Catherine’s second cousin from Aunt Clair’s side and the current Alpha of the Night Howlers Pack. Our pack and theirs had never had a good relationship, starting from the time when Alpha Thelon, Uncle Jake’s grandfather, took in Camilla and David as his pack members. From then on, many more challenges happened between the two packs, which just fired up the animosity between the Alphas. But Nicolo, after he took over as Alpha of their pack, extended a hand and offered a truce with Jace. Nothing was finalized, and we were letting our guard down. Like Jace said, in time, everything would be revealed if the old wounds could still be sewed and mended. After the meeting, we headed home right away, as we knew Catherine could be giving birth anytime. She was already having co

THE BETA AND I Chapter 129 - The Betas Day Out
Two years after the birth of the Salvatore Twins. TYLER. I slammed down my cards with a loud thud on the poker table as I laughed heartily. I won this round like I’d been winning almost the whole time today. The Betas around me grunted as Garett giggled on my lap. He was sitting comfortably beside my daughter, Summer. Both of them were holding soft bread that Catherine and Zoey had baked and that they would feed me from time to time. Garrett, at three, already knew what to do whenever I won. He was my chip collector. He shoved the small piece of bread into his mouth before his little arms stretched on the top of the table to gather the chips I won while my daughter watched in awe, her red lips forming an “o” as her gaze followed her playmate’s movement. My heart warmed as I ruffled both pups’ hair before my gaze shifted to Andrew, sitting at the other side of the table with my son, Enzo, on his lap. My son seemed to enjoy playing with all the different kinds of bracelets that

12 YEARS AFTER THE CLAIMING (11 years after the birth of the twins) CATHERINE. The wind blew against my hair, and the sound of the birds chirping set my mood for this early morning walk at the start of spring. I closed my eyes and took in the morning breeze, filling my lungs with fresh air and the minty scent produced by Tyler. Me and my mate were walking hand in hand, threading the path that would lead us to the clearing where our families and friends awaited us. Today was one of the days where we let our pups rule our activities. A day like this, which Summer would say was the best day of her young life. It has been twelve years since the Claiming that turned my life for the better. Twelve years since Tyler and I began building our dreams together, including building a family. The Goddess had blessed us with three beautiful pups: Enzo and Summer, our twins, and our youngest, Autumn Celine. Summer was named after the season in which she was born, and so was Autumn.

CATHERINE. I stood at the side of the makeshift baseball field in the middle of this wide clearing with Tyler behind me, with his arms secured around me. Our pups, together with some of the pups from our families and our friends, were here to play baseball. The players, headed by Colton, decided on a tournament. Home versus Guests. Jace, Cyrus, and Alonso coached the Home team, while Zach, Kairo, and Lawrence coached the Guest team. And I could tell, despite this being a friendly game, that the coaches were more invested and competitive than the players. But for some reason, Summer decided she would be playing with the guest team. And your guess was just as good as mine. She wanted to be on the same team as Garett. Garett was Zoey and Andrew’s firstborn son. He was not mine, but he was the son after my own heart. Growing up, he would spend summer vacations here with us, or I would let Enzo spend the summer with them. Although Colton, David, and Enzo were inseparable, Gar

My mother was an ordinary she-wolf mated to a human, making me a half-breed. After my father's untimely death when I was fourteen, my mother and I left the human territory and sought shelter in a new pack. But with both of them gone, I struggled to fit into a world full of shifters without a wolf. I already knew from the very beginning that I was more human than a werewolf. So the moment I turned eighteen, I packed my bags, thanked the couple that took me in, and moved out of the Black Shadow Pack to start my own adventure somewhere else. And just when I found my peace and purpose in human territory, the world of shifters came knocking on my door, ready to create havoc in the guise of my hot "so-called stepbrother," Austin.
THE BETA AND I UM - Epilogue 2
THREE YEARS FROM THE CLAIMING (continuation of The Betas’ Day Out, Chapter 129 of this book). ALICE. “You are fashionably late!” Catherine said, giggling. She kissed my cheek before she took my almost two-year-old daughter, Ayesha, from my arms and cuddled her, whispering sweet nothings to her as I hugged the rest of the Beta females and Lawrence’s Luna. While my mate went directly to the males huddled on the other side of the room. We were invited to the Dark Crows Pack for Garrett’s third birthday, but we passed by Roan’s territory so we could convoy with them going in here. But he had an urgent thing that needed attention, so Joshua helped him first before driving here. But we notified them ahead of time, so Catherine was just teasing us when we arrived. After Joshua and I got mated, Catherine and Tyler introduced us to the other Betas that were on the same ground as us on the Claiming, which changed all our fates. We met Beta Brandon and Vicky of the Red River Pack, Beta
THE BETA AND I UM - Epilogue
A YEAR AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER. JOSHUA. I stood beside Gamma Julius as we discussed the final security instructions for Alice’s baby shower tomorrow. We didn’t have many guests, mostly Alphas and their Lunas, so we had to be strict. I didn’t want this event to be the reason for us to be shunned if anything happened to any of the Lunas while they were in our territory. Alice was already in her seventh month of pregnancy, and Nikka insisted on throwing a baby shower for her. It would just be a formal lunch and a small get-together after that. The people she wanted to be here were all invited. Who would have thought that Amara and Jace would be entering our territory tomorrow? It took a while before Amara and Alice became comfortable with each other, but it finally happened. And I could only look back at all the stupid things I did and said to Amara, but I was glad that she and Jace both gave me and Alice a chance to be better and to make up for the way we acted toward them.

JOSHUA. “We did it. We did it, Luna Alice….” I mumbled back at my mate while pecking her forehead. The day we had been waiting for finally came. Dad decided to give me the pack even before my 20th birthday. I guessed my refusal to back down about Eugene, and my ignoring Mom’s tactics opened his eyes to the fact that I was ready to leave this pack anytime. And with no one to pass the title on, it terrified him, especially when he realized the people were more comfortable doing business with me than him. Or simply because he was already tired. The arrogance in his eyes had been long gone. And I seldom hear him raise his voice. Eugene leaving the territory started the spreading of news that he was the Luna’s son but not the Alpha’s. Even in modern society, this is still frowned upon. The Alphas could have many pups, but the Lunas were supposed to be perfect. And if I were not who I was at this point, I would probably be on the side of the people mocking my own father for this. Th

FIVE MONTHS LATER. JOSHUA. The days turned into weeks. And then into months. But we never got the answer we were looking for. River was still nowhere to be found. The CCTV footage of her in the train station showed she went inside a train heading for Atlanta. On the same day, some of my men went to that city. My father didn’t want to spend any dime looking for River, and since I had no jurisdiction to give orders to our trackers, I was not able to seek assistance from them. Cyrus, however, extended his help again and sent his own trackers to do the job. And so did Roan and Kairo since their packs were nearest to Atlanta. But even with them and their friends helping us and using their own resources, we couldn’t find her. Like she just vanished into thin air. Alice had gone to her room the day after she left and checked if she left any clues, but there was nothing telling us where she had gone. She saw Cyrus’ calling cards in the trash bins, and she told him about it. And I

LADY RIVER. I didn’t know I had fallen asleep on the train ride to Bernice City. I was grateful the female from whom I bought the ticket woke me up and told me we were approaching the station where I needed to get off. After making sure everything I had in my bag was still intact, I took my aunt’s address out and asked her if it was a long way from the station. She told me I needed to take a bus to get there. I was left with no choice but to tell her I couldn’t read and that I might end up somewhere far from this place. Her eyes softened as she grabbed a pen from her pocket and ripped a piece of paper from her notepad. She began to draw something out of it before she handed it to me. “When you get out of here, you will see a red building. Cross that street to get there. And in the direction where a colorful rainbow arch is, head in that direction. Follow that sidewalk. Just continue forward. You will pass three corners. On the fourth corner, turn left. Here.” She pointed at the

ALICE. I couldn’t believe it was possible for a pack to hate a future Beta as much as this pack hated Eugene. Joshua put him in the middle of the quadrangle and ordered two whips on his back before he asked his warrior to tie him up on the post. He told him he would remain there all night until he denounced the pack. I knew Joshua could force his father to banish him, but I also knew Joshua wanted to put him there for the whole pack to see. Before we departed, Joshua commanded his men to guard him and inform him once he denounced the pack. But he allowed everyone to throw a punch or two if they wanted. In the beginning, no one was coming near Eugene. Until we were informed by one of the warriors that there were two females, clad in a big hoodie and long black skirt, who came and threw a punch at him. Those females didn’t want to be identified but surely wanted to do that. Joshua told them to just let them and to never block anyone from approaching him. So, aside from these t

ALICE. My coiled fist connected with his jaw. I had punched several men in my lifetime, but I was sure I had never hit anyone as hard as I hit Eugene. After Kenneth told us in what state he found Eugene and River, I knew that there would never come a time when I would forgive him. Ever. Of all the females to assault, he chose River — someone who was too good for anybody. Rage was ruling my whole body, and I acted without thinking. As soon as my fist hit him, a loud growl erupted from his throat, and even though he staggered back, he was able to gather his footing right away. And before I knew it, he was launching at me. “You, mother fucker!” He roared, his arm stretching back with his hand balled into a tight fist. He was planning to hit me back. My eyes widened, and even if I wanted to scream, no sound left my lips. But I saw a figure pass me, and the next thing I saw was Joshua lunging at Eugene. His hand snaked around his neck before he slammed his body to the ground. A lo

RIVER. “Again, who told you that you get to decide?” He growled lowly before I heard him unstrap his belt, and fear coursed through my whole body. He was starting to unzip his pants when I finally had the courage to move myself. My hands pushed his stomach away as my feet kicked his knees. He staggered backward, and I took the opportunity to run, but he was fast. He caught my hair and slammed my body against the hood of his car. In no time, he was hovering over me. His eyes were dilating, and if looks could kill, I would be dead already. “Please let me go!” I shrieked. My hands were on his chest, trying to stop him from leaning closer. “After you fucking flirt with me, you will leave me hanging? Can’t you feel how hard my cock is already? You need to finish what you fucking started, whore!” I tried to push him, but I couldn’t move as my feet were caged in between his thighs, and I could feel his erection against mine, but before he could dip his face into mine, I saw a hand gra
