*JORDYN’S POV* I walked into the bar with Josh and was immediately dismayed by the familiar faces I saw sitting there.“If I had told you, would you have agreed to come?” Josh said, shrugging sheepishly.He had invited other friends…people I didn’t want to see.I glared at him, my side eye deadly. “I hate those guys,” I hissed.Josh downplayed my concerns. “How bad can it be to just sit there and ignore them,” He said. “I only wanted to liven up the place.”I sighed, not buying whatever liveliness those guys had to offer. Josh waved at the unwanted guests, announcing our arrival.As we approached the table, one of the guys, Ivan, greeted us with a cheerful smile.“Oh, what’s up dudes?” He asked, exchanging a friendly handshake with Josh.“can’t believe our almighty Alpha Jordyn stepped out for a drink” Another guy, Edward chimed in.I glared at him, my eyes warning him to tread carefully.“Come on Edward, don’t talk like that,” Josh rebuked him playfully. “You know how hard it is to
*BRIANNE’S POV*I slid into the passenger seat, my eyes widening in surprise. “How did you know where I live?” I asked.Janette flashed a playful grin. “I have my ways,” She teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “But how did you…”Janette interrupted me, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. “My brother is your personal GPS, apparently,” She said with a chuckle.My eyes narrowed, intrigued. “Your brother?” I repeated.“He asked me to swing by and pick you up, take you back to the pack house” She nodded.“What!” I exclaimed, my voice echoing in the car. Alpha Jordyn could be so unbelievable, why would he even bother to do that?Janette’s expression remained serene, her eyes fixed on the road. The silence that followed was oppressive, punctuated only by the soft hum of the engine.Then, without warning, Janette spoke up, her voice gentle but probing. “Brianne” She called out, her eyes flickered towards me.I turned to her, urging her to continue.“What i
*BRIANNE’S POV*The girls chatter filled the air as we made our way through the woods, their excitement for the party or gathering was palpable.As we walked further into the woods, the trees grew taller and the shadows deepened. My unease began to creep back in, but the girls kept chatting and laughing, distracting me from my worries and putting my mind at ease…a little bit.Suddenly, they stopped at a clearing—an empty space. I expected to see a crowd of people, music, and lights, but no one was there.Where was everybody?I turned to the girls, my confusion and concern evident. “where is everybody?” I asked, my voice croaked with a hint of unease.“Surprise!” Sophia exclaimed as she ran childishly to the middle of the open space.I watched her with confusion etched on my face. What surprise? They brought me all the way for this?“I thought you said everybody was going to be here,” I said again, trying to get answers from them. My instincts were starting to scream warning but I didn
*BRIANNE’S POV*I shut my eyes tight, bracing myself for the pain, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly, peeking to see what was stopping Sophia’s attack.And that’s when I saw him, Alpha Jordyn, standing right there. How did he find us?His eyes were fixed intently on Sophia, exuding a mix of anger and authority.The hands that held my arms suddenly released them, and the girls moved away from me, fear evident in their eyes. Sophia’s claws retracted, and she took a step back.“Al…Alpha Jordyn… what are you doing here?” Sophia asked in a trembling voice.I stood there, wondering how he knew I was here or how he even found us in these deep woods.‘My brother is your personal GPS’ Janette’s words echoed in my head.“Alpha Jordyn…we were just showing Brianne around,” Sophia said again, smiling awkwardly.His look gave the impression that he wasn’t buying whatever Sophia was saying.He stood in the trees, his gaze resting on me, he didn’t pay any attention to the three girls sta
*BRIANNE’S POV*I sniffed, “yes, it’s all fake,” I said, my voice trembling. “Please just let me go,” I pleaded, tears streaming down my cheeks.His face darkened, and his jaw clenched in frustration. He suddenly moved towards me, his strides elegant but urgent.As he closed the distance between us, he hissed and punched the wall behind me, making me jump. I felt a surge of fear and confusion. His eyes were wide, but not just with anger. They seemed to be burning with raw primal emotion that I couldn’t quite understand.“Brianne!” He growled, his voice low and intense.My mind raced as I stared at him. Why is he getting worked up? I didn’t understand what was happening.“Alpha Jordyn, please…” I started to say, but he cut me short.“You think I want to do this?” He asked with a low growl, his voice dripping with frustration.“You think I always want to go to the rescue of a random girl I met two weeks ago?” He continued,He took a step closer, his veins bulging in his forehead. “You
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Are you okay?” I asked in a low voice, trying to calm him down.But my words seemed to have the opposite effect because his gaze suddenly snapped to me.“Mine!” He growled. “You’re mine!” His hair was damp with sweat and his body was tensed.He needed to calm down, or else, he’d end up hurting himself or even hurting me.I knew I had to act fast, probably pour a bowl of cold water on him.I searched the room frantically, my eyes scanning for anything to help him calm down, but there was no water. Nothing helpful was in sight. The sound of his ragged breathing grew louder and his muscles tensed even more.That’s when I remembered something. If my theory is correct, and I turn out to be his mate, I had to do something to him that would help him calm down. Probably a soft touch, a hug, or…a kiss.No, no. I can’t do that. But a soft touch would probably not do anything from the look of things. I wasn’t thinking straight, I didn’t want him to pass out, because he was alre
*JORDYN'S POV*(Earlier)I sat with Josh in my office, staring blankly at the paper in my hand. My mind was a million miles away, consumed by thoughts that had been plaguing me for days.Josh’s sudden question snapped back to reality.“Are you okay?” He asked, his brows furrowed with concern.I looked up at him, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. I wanted to confide in him, something that had been burning inside me. But I hesitated, unsure if I was ready to reveal something so personal.“Josh…,” I began, my voice barely above a whisper.Josh’s eyes locked onto mine, his gaze was patient and encouraging. He knew me too well, and I could sense his curiosity piqued.“I think I found my mate…” I said finally, the words tumbling out in a rush.Josh’s expression changed from curiosity to shock. His eyes widened and His mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to say something But couldn't quite form the words. I watched him intently, anxious about his reaction.But to my surprise, his
*JORDYN’S POV*The girls, on the other hand, seemed friendly and enthusiastic, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.As they led her out of the arena, I decided to follow them. I couldn’t trust anyone in the arena, and I knew that if they discovered she was wolfless, they’d pounce on her like vultures. I kept a safe distance, using my ability to mask my presence so they wouldn’t smell me.***As we ventured deeper into the woods, the atmosphere grew thick with tension. The girls’ laughter and chatter turned into sinister whispers, and their eyes gleamed with a vicious light. Brianne seemed oblivious to the danger, but I could sense her unease growing.Suddenly, the girls stopped at a clearing, and their expressions transformed into snarls.One of them lunged forward, while the other two grabbed Brianne’s arms.My instinct screamed at me to intervene, but I remained still, watching and waiting.The girl who lunged forward now had a cruel grin on her face.I stood
The story of Jordyn and Brianne has finally come to an end. to all my readers, I want to say the biggest thank you for your support throughout my first book. your kindness and support has been my biggest drive force and motivation. thank you and God bless!
*MARY'S POV*We stood there for a moment, wrapped up in the quiet understanding between us, the noise of the celebration around us fading into the background. It was just the two of us, finally on the same page, finally admitting what we had known all along.Josh pulled me into his arms then, holding me tightly, and for a moment, it felt like the world outside of us didn’t exist. There was just this feeling of completeness, of knowing that we had found something rare, something worth holding on to.“Mary,” Josh murmured against my hair. “I don’t care what happens or how crazy life gets. As long as we’re together, nothing else matters.”I nodded against his chest, my heart full. “Together,” I repeated, the word feeling like a promise, like something unbreakable.We stood there, holding each other, the world going on around us, but for a brief, perfect moment, it felt like time had stopped. And when I pulled back to look at him, his eyes were filled with something deeper than just affect
*BRIANNE'S POV*We moved closer to the altar, where a silver chalice sat filled with sacred water blessed by the elders. Elder Marla raised the chalice, her voice steady as she began the invocation.“Moon Goddess, protector of the packs, guardian of our bonds, we call upon you to witness this union. Bless this Alpha and his Luna, guide them with your wisdom, and strengthen their bond so that it may never be broken. May their love bring prosperity to this pack and honor to your name.”As she spoke, the energy in the clearing seemed to shift. The air grew still, heavy with an almost tangible presence. My heart thudded in anticipation as Jordyn turned to me, his eyes filled with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine.“This will only hurt for a moment,” he murmured, his voice gentle yet firm.I nodded, tilting my head to expose the curve of my neck where his mating mark already rested—a mark that had bound us in the past but would now be renewed in front of the pack and the Moon G
*BRIANNE'S POV*The day dawned brighter than any I’d ever seen, as if the sun itself knew this was no ordinary morning. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the reflection of the woman I barely recognized—dressed in a gown that shimmered like moonlight, hair pinned into soft waves, and eyes lined with the faintest hint of gold. It was me, and yet it wasn’t.The house was alive with a flurry of excitement. Women rushed around, pinning flowers into my hair, adjusting the folds of my dress, and murmuring compliments that barely reached my ears. My heart was pounding too loudly to process anything fully.“Brianne,” my mother said softly from the doorway, drawing my attention. She stepped inside, her eyes misty but filled with pride. “You look radiant.”I turned to her, feeling a lump form in my throat. For all the ups and downs we’d been through, having her here today meant the world to me.“Thank you,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper.She came closer, reaching out to adj
*BRIANNE'S POV*The council chamber was a room of immense power, its high ceilings and stone walls almost intimidating. I stood just outside the heavy oak doors, my palms slightly damp with nerves. Jordyn’s reassuring hand rested on the small of my back, steadying me, but it did little to quiet the storm of thoughts in my head.Why was I even here? The council had never been my ally. Their opposition to Jordyn choosing me as his mate was no secret. They thought I wasn’t good enough to be Luna. I wasn’t born into privilege or power, and their disdain had been a constant shadow since our relationship began.Jordyn leaned closer, his warm breath brushing my ear. “You don’t need to worry about what they think, Brianne. If they say anything disrespectful, I’ll shut it down.”I smiled weakly, appreciating his confidence. “Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”The doors swung open, revealing the circular council table where the elders were already seated. Each of them turned their heads towar
*JORDYN'S POV*The moment Brianne said yes, my world shifted. It wasn’t just the joy of hearing her acceptance; it was the realization that everything I’d worked for, everything I’d fought to protect, finally had a deeper purpose. She wasn’t just my mate—she was my future, and I wanted the entire world to see it.The day after the proposal, I summoned Mary, Janette, and Josh to discuss the wedding. It wasn’t going to be just any wedding—it would be a mating ceremony, too. A powerful display of unity for both Brianne and me, and for the pack as a whole.“Do you think she’ll be okay with it being both?” Mary asked, leaning back in her chair.“Brianne doesn’t do things halfway,” I replied confidently. “And neither do I. This is our moment, and I want it to reflect everything we are—mates, partners, and leaders.”Janette smirked. “You’re really pulling out all the stops, huh?”“Absolutely,” I said, my tone firm. “This isn’t just for us. It’s for the pack, too. After everything we’ve been
*BRIANNE'S POV*When I arrived at the location Mary had texted me, I was taken aback. It wasn’t the cozy café or lively bar I’d expected. Instead, I found myself standing outside a beautifully decorated venue. Soft fairy lights adorned the entrance, and a path lined with rose petals led the way inside.“What on earth…?” I murmured, stepping cautiously forward.The interior was even more breathtaking. The space was bathed in warm, golden light, with elegant floral arrangements and candles scattered throughout. It felt intimate, magical, and entirely unlike anything I’d anticipated.“Mary?” I called out, glancing around.But she was nowhere to be seen.My heart started to race, a mixture of confusion and anticipation swirling within me. And then, as if drawn by an invisible force, my eyes found him.Jordyn.He stood not too far away, dressed in a sharp black tuxedo that made him look like he’d stepped out of a dream. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his piercing eyes locked onto min
*BRIANNE'S POV*The days after the war felt like a blur of activity and grief. The land bore scars of the battle—scorched earth, shattered buildings, and a heaviness in the air that was difficult to shake. But the pack was resilient, even in their pain.Jordyn wasted no time organizing efforts to rebuild. Under his leadership, everyone pitched in—repairing homes, clearing rubble, and tending to the wounded. It was a collective effort, and though the mood was somber, there was an undercurrent of determination.Jordyn had barely stopped to rest, throwing himself into the work with a single-minded focus. I stayed by his side as much as I could, offering support wherever it was needed.A week after the battle, the pack gathered in the main square. The sun shone brightly overhead, as if trying to wash away the darkness of the past few days. Jordyn stood on a makeshift stage, his posture straight and commanding, but I could see the weight he carried in the set of his shoulders.Josh stood n
*BRIANNE'S POV*The next morning, I found my father in the study, his back to me as he stared out the window.“Do you need something?” he asked without turning around.I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. “We need to talk.”He sighed, finally facing me. “About what?”“About why you can’t seem to support me,” I said, my voice steady but firm.“I support you,” he said, though his tone was dismissive. “I just don’t think throwing yourself into danger is wise.”“I’m not a child anymore, Father. I can make my own decisions.”“And what happens when those decisions get you killed?” he demanded, his voice rising.“That’s enough!” my mother’s voice cut through the tension as she entered the room. She placed herself between us, her gaze stern. “Both of you, stop this. You’re family, not enemies.”My father muttered something under his breath and left the room, leaving me and my mother alone.She turned to me, her expression softening. “He loves you, Brianne. He just… doesn’t know how t
