Jax’s POVAlida and Gunner had been traveling around the world. To say they were gone a lot would be an understatement. Tora and I have been trying to keep up with the alphas here and requests they had for Alida for when she returned. Thank the Goddess Tora was more organized than I was. I didn’t know how to do any of this shit. We have been building the house back up little by little in our spare time. Chelsea was about to pop at any moment. Things just seemed to be going great. Apart from the everyday stress, there wasn’t much I could complain about. Life was going great with my mate by my side. Meanwhile, we were still checking into Tyler’s mate, Stephanie to see if bringing him in as a beta would be the smart choice considering who her father was. So far there were no red flags. I would say that it would be safe to bring her into the pack, but that decision was up to Alpha Nik. Emma did her time in the pack jail and faced her trial in her own pack as well. They only added 6 mor
Eight years ago Sarah Connor woke up in the middle of the night. She lifted her head off the pillow, reaching for her mate who was suppose to be sleeping next her. There was no one and the sheets were cold. Groggily, she lifted herself up looking around."Legolas?" She asked looking around the room.No answer.Sarah shrugged and lay down again. He was probably just working late. But she could have sworn they went to sleep in each other's arms.The next day while Sarah was wandering around the mansion looking for her mate, she had yelling and whimpering from the office."What's that?" She wondered, walking towards the office. There was something exciting that Sarah wanted to share with her mate but since she hadn't seen him for a while, she hadn't had the chance yet.When she got to the door, she raised her hand to knock. Her fist paused before knocking.Something was different. Sarah lowered her fist and strained her ears to listen. She knew from the many times that Legolas and she sp
Present day"Where is she?" Legolas demanded, swiping his desk clear of everything from maps, notebooks and papers to his laptop, paper clips and pens. It had been eight years since he had last seen his mate, and the memories weren't pleasant. For weeks he had beaten her black and blue for bewitching him into becoming his queen of the moon. It had been the other way around. The witch had tricked him into becoming the moon queen and harming his true mate. He hadn't let himself live those events down. Each day he has punished himself for betraying his mate and not believing in her."We've looked everywhere," Carlton replied. The alpha wasn't the only one feeling guilty. Everyone in the pack had believed Yuna was the Alpha's mate and Sarah was the witch. No one had stopped to think about how Sarah grew up In the pack and had never shown any sign of being a witch. They all had called her rude names, spread vile rumors and punished her when they got the chance."Not everywhere, because sh
"I know something that could cheer you up," Albus continued talking. Legolas rolled his eyes. "Carton got a call this morning from the demon pack," Albus said. Legolas wolf perked up. Could it be? "Something about a pack member seeing a woman with the same features of ...her." Albus didn't dare speak her name in case the alpha lashed out. "Where?" Came the one word from Legolas. "Demon pack on the outskirts of the northern city." "What?" "Yeah, but Carlton dismissed it because it certainly couldn't be." Albus smiled, teasing him. Of course, Carlton hasn't dismissed the call in case it actually was her. Legolas threw the covers off and charged at Albus. His hand found Albus' neck and his back found the wall. "Geez, chill man," Albi's wheezed out. "Carlton set up a flight that leaves in an hour and he talked with the alpha there who is expecting the visit." The alpha, Carlton, Albus and a few members of the pack got off the plane in what felt like the middle of the night. I
"What else?" He asked."A free pass to get out of babysitting Aleena.""Deal.""Yes!" Sarah jumped off the throne and ran to hug Jackson. "You're the best."Jackson laughed. "You know I could have done it for nothing." He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. This was what she needed at this moment since it was her ex coming to visit.Sarah chuckled and replied. "I know but you deserve a break." She patted Jackson on the back just to remind him he was friend-zone. Sarah was glad that she had met Jackson and he was a great second in command and friend. Obviously she had let him know this. She has also told him that if something were to happen to her then he should take over as alpha."Go spend some time with Aleena." Jackson watched her skip away to spend the rest of her day with her daughter.Sarah followed the carved stone hallway to find the city. When she had first arrived it had taken her weeks to figure out the caves. The pack was located in a mountain. In the middl
ff to work so I'll help the wolves find out what they are looking for.""That will be great. I'm royal beta Carlton and this is my mate, Albums." Carlton pulled his mate close to him and kissed the top of his head.5"It's a pleasure to meet you," Jackson smiled, getting off his throne and walking down to the group of wolves. He extended his arm and shook Carlton and Albus' hands. "Welcome to the demon pack.""Alpha king Legolas," Legolas gripped Jackson's in a tight handshake. For some reason the wolf before Legolas set him off. He wanted to rip him apart because the wonderful scent was wrapped around him. Was this the guy his mate could have moved on to? Was the scent even hers?"What can I do for you, your Majesty?" Jackson avoided any eye contact with the alpha as a sign of respect. He kept his eyes either on the alpha's chest or on the ground. He also avoided glancing in Carlton and Albus direction in case one of them got possessive. His packs didn't need the royal pack to be he
"It's okay. I did them myself ." A proud smile stretched Aleena's face as she twirled around showing off her work. "They look beautiful," Sarah chuckled before placing a kiss on her head. She slowly and cautiously moves her hands towards her daughter's hair in an attempt to make it a little neater. Aleena suddenly dropped to the floor and crawled away. "What are you doing?" She yelled. "You're ruining it!" "Sweetie, it looks like you spun around in the laundry dryer." "But I like it!" "If you really like it like that then you can keep it." Sarah turned and started to walk away before adding: "if you want to meet the guest, they are in the cave." Sarah made it out into the hallway with a smile on her face. She paused and waited for Aleena to come running out to ask her to redo the braids. She turned to face the door counting down when something tapped her shoulder. "Sarah?" A very familiar voice asked. "Sarah." She turned around with her teeth bared. "Legolas," she growled. As
Sarah slowly walked towards the room, lost in her thoughts. She didn't register that there were already voices in the room until she got to the door. Quickly she backed away until her back pressed against the wall beside the door in the conversation."Come on, alpha," a man's voice said. "It can't have been that hard.""It was mortifying," Legolas groaned."Your ex-mate punched you, knocked you unconscious and brought you to the hospital," another familiar voice said. Sarah peaked into the room. Legolas was sitting on a hospital bed with his shirt off. Man, did he have abs, beside the bed was a familiar face in which Sarah could not place a name. But she knew she had seen him around the roya pack. The other make was her brother Carlton."My bet is that she still has feelings for you," the unknown man laughed, shuffling closer to her brother."The only feelings she harbored for me is nager," Legolas muttered. "But I am not going to give her up. She's mine! And no one is going to take h

Aleena's POVI didn’t get shit for sleep last night. Gunner was on patrols and my mind with wondering with all the different impossible outcomes for my sister’s trails today. In one outcome, I ended up on death row and they were both standing there laughing at me. Ridiculous, I know. Gunner would randomly check in on me, feeling the stress and anxiety through the mate bond. I rolled my tiny ass out of bed with a moan and made my way to the bathroom. A good relaxing shower was much needed right now. My whole body was tensed from all the stress. I didn’t even bother grabbing clothes to take with me. Nobody ever came into our room anyways. Well, not without knocking first anyways.I took Gunner’s shirt off and just tossed it on the floor along with my panties and shorts. I turned on the shower to let it warm up while I brushed my hair out. Once I finished, I stepped in the shower and just stood under the shower head. I let hell’s fire water just rain down on my face and roll down my bod
Aleena's POVWaking up the next morning, I wiped the sleep from my eyes and stretched my whole body out. I looked over to see that Gunner was still asleep when an idea popped in my head. I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote him a note like he did to me. Only instead of a yellow rose I placed a heresy’s kiss candy on top of it.I quietly made my way out of the bedroom and closed the door softly behind me. Once I knew I was in the clear, I made my way down to the kitchen for some breakfast. It was still early and barely anyone was up. Mostly just the warriors going out for their own personal training or patrols switching shifts.I was in the middle of eating my butterscotch chip pancakes when my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number. Normally I would just hit ignore but something was telling me to answer it. So I slid my thumb over the green circle on the screen.“Hello?” I asked.“Is this Alida Romanov?” A male’s voice on the other
Aleena's POVI stood there in utter shock for a moment until one of the guys behind me leaned down towards my ear and whispered.“Do you know them?” Jax asked.I let out a warning growl and took a defensive position causing both of them to do the same.“I got this sweetie.” Sarah laughed. I felt this wave of energy come out of me and felt my eyes change colors. “On your knees NOW!” Sarah growled.The two intruders tried to fight but ended up on their knees with their necks bared in submission. It wasn’t until I heard a whimper behind me that I realized that my command had affected even the alpha. I quickly released and apologized to the guys whom all reassured me that it was perfectly fine. “So you gunna tell us who these two are?” Alpha Nik asked now standing beside me and pointing between the two.“Alpha Nik, Beta Derek, Jax, these intruders would be two of my older sisters.” I walked around them so I was standing behind them. I took a quick look Gunner still sleeping on the bed be
Aleena's POVI’ve been back home for a week now, and so far everything seems to be going good. The lycans have been adjusting to life outside the mountain, and the wolves have been very welcoming to them. Some have even found their mates already. In those cases, the lycan’s went to live with their mates in their respective packs. I promised Jax that we would find a solution and it was a rather easy one to come by. Legolas and Chelsea have been locked in their room since we returned home for the most part. I’ve been joking about being an auntie in 9 weeks and how excited I was. Legolas was actually the one that would blush before Chelsea did. Chelsea had also learned a few tricks from her Grandma on witchcraft that she couldn’t wait to show me. She had taken some of the vases full of flowers from the living room in the pack house and I followed her outside. Next thing I knew, all the flowers were floating around us in the air. After the initial shock wore off, it was actually quite b
Aleena's POVI was back home at a family cookout. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. Temperature was just perfect with just a slight random breeze, just enough to make the wildflowers in the distance dance amongst themselves. The smell of the hog roast over the firepit filling the air. Kids were running around carefree playing with each other. Everything was simply perfect!Next thing I knew I was ripped from my paradise but someone grabbing my ankle and yanking me out of bed. Sarah and I both immediately woke up in defense mode and started fighting back. When I broke free and put some distance between myself and the attacker, I realized it was Koda.“What in the actual fuck do you think you’re doing?” I shouted.“Following orders!” He snapped back with a slight warning growl.“Did he just growl at us?” Sarah popped up in my head.“I think so.” I smirked knowing very damn well what she was about to do. I felt Sarah coming forward but not enough to force the shift. “Boy, y
Aleena's POVI stood there in the shadows of the caves waiting for Jax to meet up with me. I was lost in my thoughts staring out into the horizon over the ocean, wondering where they were, when I heard a rock skid across the ground and it snapped me back to reality. “We are just 2 wolves out for a run if anybody asks.” I said quietly looking him dead in the eye.“Ok but what are we really doing?” He asked.“Clearing the beach. They are still going to send trackers out but only a mile off the beach before they let the others off the ships.” I said already slipping my shoes off. Jax nodded and followed my lead. I headed behind a tree to shift while Jax remained in the cave and shifted. We just nodded to each other and then took off running down the beach. We covered about 3 or 4 miles of shoreline and into the woods before Jax got my attention and pointed towards the sun. No words were spoken as we didn’t want anyone to overhear our conversations.On our way out of the woods Jax start
Aleena's POV“Have you talked to Alex?” Jax asked the King.“No, I haven’t had a chance. You guys are the first. I just heard of it this morning. Harold told me he hasn’t talked to them in a couple of weeks. I sent him out with Sadie, Jessica, Gerreth, and Alfred to gather info on the vampires.” The King told us. “I can ask around here sir, but Alex would be your best bet with her abilities to go places unseen. She’s a sneaky little shit. She could be in this room right now and we probably don’t even know it.” Jax and the King chuckled.“You’re right. Alida, you haven’t heard any talk from maid or such about lycan’s vanishing have you?” The King now looking at me.“Not of that rank, no.” I said honestly. I wasn’t lying, I don’t know every single soul that got on those ships, and I thought it was mainly the lower ranked lycans that fled.“Not of that rank? Explain.” He ordered.“I overheard some of the maids talking that some of lower ranks had made a run for it.” I answered.“That’s
