JOSHUA. Two days had gone by swiftly, and all the packs I needed to visit were visited. Most of them were great encounters, while some were charged to experience. Overall, I could say that I was able to accomplish what I wanted with this task. This was the first time my father had let me meet Alphas on my own to renew alliances for the next year. I told him I wanted to add more packs to the list, and he told me to do whatever I wanted. I was sure he would be surprised if he found out what packs I visited. Eugene was supposed to come with me on this trip, and I was grateful Alice showed up, so I changed my plan. I was sure that aside from having Alice around being more pleasurable, having Eugene along would be more catastrophic than helpful. Aside from Cyrus, Alpha Dominic and the Alpha of the Green Valley Pack, Alpha Caleb, laid out the same condition. If I took Eugene as my Beta, there would be no possibility of any alliance with them. I knew they were conspiring against me
JOSHUA. ‘Dad?’ I mindlinked with my father. ‘Where are you? I heard you entered the border almost thirty minutes ago.’ ‘Heading to the old packhouse. Alice and I will stay there for tonight.’ ‘And why?’ ‘Mom doesn’t want her around.’ I answered truthfully. ‘She will come to terms with it.’ ‘Just let her for now. I don’t want her to feel Alice is a threat to her being the Luna of her own house.’ ‘She is the Luna here for a fucking twenty years. What more does she want?’ He sounded annoyed, and I was sure they had quarreled again. ‘Maybe if you made her feel like real Luna for the last twenty years, then she wouldn’t have this animosity toward Alice.’ ‘What was that supposed to mean?’ ‘You know what it means, Dad. Probably time to make your Luna feel like your Luna and not just a female you have hanging around you at the packhouse.’ There, I finally said it. I hated Mom when she acted wickedly and tried to run my life for me, but I also saw what Dad was doing to her throu
ALICE. I stood beside Joshua and listened as Kenneth gave final instructions to the three pups shifting tonight. I was supposed to be just an observer, but I felt like I was the one being observed. The three pups, as well as the warriors helping them out, were looking at me from time to time. Their gazes made me feel as though I was under observation. I used to love attention, but at this point, I was more concerned that they would see something unfavorable and immediately report it to Luna Matilda. As much as I didn’t mind the Luna’s hatred for me, for some reason, I wanted to make a good impression on the people that one day Joshua would be leading. “Are you okay?” Joshua asked as he approached where I stood. He was with Kenneth, and they talked with the last pup that had yet to shift. As soon as he reached me, his arm coiled around my body, and he pulled me for a hug. “I am,” I answered. “Stop lying. I could feel your emotions.” I scrunched up my nose and didn’t say anyt
JOSHUA. “Fuck!” I groaned loudly as Alice’s mouth played with my balls while her hand jerked my cock religiously. After a while, her head tilted up, and a wicked smile flashed on her face while I panted from the pleasure she was giving me. I let out a low growl and pulled her up roughly from the bed. Her legs automatically wrapped around my waist while I positioned my hard dick into her leaking entrance. She arched her body while my hands gripped her waist tightly as I pummeled my cock into her. I had no idea how many rounds we had already had or how many orgasms she had released. My body was about to give up, but my libido was still high. And so did Alice. Her movement, her expression, and her moans were telling me she was not tired at all. I’d always heard about heat, especially the first time after the female was marked, but I had no idea this was this intense. Or maybe this was just Alice. She was unstoppable, and everything she was doing kept setting my cock on fire. “Jo
JOSHUA. The dinner went without any problem, only because my mother did not join us. She advised that she had a bad headache and wanted to retire to bed early. I knew it was all a lie. My mother had never been sick and hadn’t missed any family dinners where she could establish that she was the Luna of the pack. So tonight was the first time, and it only went to show that my mate was still not welcome in this packhouse. But I could care less at this point. Dad was more welcoming and was conversing with both Alice and Roan. Either he was warming up to the idea that Alice would be his future daughter-in-law, or he was excited about a possible alliance with their pack. Roan casually asked him when he thought he would pass the title to me. If my father was taken aback by his question, he didn’t show it and answered him in a calm manner. A year from now — that’s what he said — a month after my twentieth birthday. I then asked Dad if it was a concrete plan or if it could still change
ALICE. I watched as the black van stopped in front of the steps. I could hear Joshua and Roan talking, but my focus was on the van. It was weird to have Alpha Kairo drive one like this unless he had many warriors with him. But why was he looking for me? The car hadn’t stopped yet when the sliding door opened, and Nikka jumped out of it. I was not even sure if she saw me because her eyes were already fixated on where Roan was standing, and she was smiling widely. “Why are you with Kairo?” Roan’s voice echoed around the grounds, which surprised me. The only time I heard Roan use this voice was when he would end up in a heated discussion with Mom or Dad because, let’s face it, my brother was the most peaceful and calm Alpha I had ever known. It was only then that his question registered in my head. He didn’t like that Nikka was here with Alpha Kairo. “What?” Nikka’s smiling face warped into a frown as her forehead creased. “I’m not here with Kairo. We are here with Kairo! There’s
ALPHA ROAN. I knew I had overreacted when I saw Nikka come out of the vehicle, knowing it belonged to Kairo. I didn’t even consider she was coming from the backseat. Since we met two weeks ago, we’ve been exchanging messages, but just friendly ones. She was only seventeen, and I was almost four years older than her. Besides, I didn’t want to set any expectations. I had no plans of breaking any females’ hearts, especially Nikka. But I couldn’t deny that I felt jealous thinking she was here with Kairo — alone. I told her I would be here at the Eclipse Pack, so it hurt a bit that she didn’t tell me she was heading here as well — like I was not important. It was too late when I realized that I was not. I was just like any other guy that she probably flirted with. But still, I couldn’t just ignore her. Roan: I’m sorry for snapping at you. I sent her a message after they left Joshua’s packhouse. I knew I should have talked to her personally, but I didn’t want to make a scene. Nikk
LADY THEA VERONIKA (NIKKA).Alpha Riley and Luna Nadia’s pup. My stomach knotted when I saw Roan enter the bar. I’d been checking the door since we got here, excitedly waiting for him after he promised he would come here. I had seen him earlier, but the effect didn’t change. My heart still palpitated at the sight of how dashing he looked, wearing simple black jeans and a shirt with its sleeves rolled up on his arms. Roan was not too tall or too bulky like Zach or Dad, but I liked it more. I was really crushing hard on the Alpha of the Moon Lake Pack, and regardless of what Zach said about him and his family, I knew I wanted him. The only problem was that I needed to make him want me, too — just me and not any other females around him. My eyes rolled when I realized he was walking toward us with a female I hadn’t seen in my whole life. Cassidy said Joshua was taking his sister with them, so I assumed it was her. So Alice and Joshua are couples, and now his sister and Alice’s b
