*BRIANNE’S POV*I scanned the crowd, my gaze awkwardly darting from one face to another. Their waiting eyes stared back at me, gleaming with anticipation.His thunderous voice boomed again. “You, pretty girl, Come up here”The lady turned to me with a faint but encouraging smile. “Go on, show us what you’ve got”My legs stayed rooted to the spot. ‘But I’ve got nothing to show’“I..sorry I think I’ll pass,” I said shakily.The lady chuckled. “You don’t get to pass.” She said. “Be an honorable wolf and go on” She encouraged.But how…how do I tell them I don’t have my wolf? How do I tell them I’m not strong enough? I tried to move my legs but they stayed stuck to the ground, refusing to budge. I knew that once I stepped into that ring, my fate was sealed.The crowd’s cheers grew louder, but their enthusiasm wasn’t for me— It was for my opponent. A tall, slender girl in her mid-20s. She snarled, glaring at me with a fierce intensity. Her eyes seemed to dare me to step forward.My legs fi
*JORDYN’S POV*I was in a deep conversation with Josh in my office when a sudden, intense sensation washed over me, sending waves down my spine. My senses came to life all at once, It was as if my senses had been hijacked, and I was hit with a familiar sweet scent. That unmistakable scent.It was her!! The sweet smell that hasn’t left my nostrils since the very day I met her. It was Brianne.This weird feeling—I could feel my wolf on a total rampage.But wait… what is she doing in the pack house?As I struggled to regain my composure, a chill crept up my spine at the mere thought of seeing her.“You okay bro?” Josh’s voice suddenly pulled me out of my confusion.I turned to him, but my mind was blank and unable to form a coherent response.“What’s wrong?” He asked, the concern visible on his face. “You seem out of it lately, I think you need some time off” He advised.I exhaled awkwardly, “yeah… I think I need some time off” I agreed unhesitatingly.Josh nodded “So I’ll see you later,
*BRIANNE’S POV*He carried me to a room, his strides purposeful and swift. He carefully laid me on the bed, his touch gentler than I expected.I didn’t know what to say to him, my mind raced with uncertainty. Should I apologize? Explain? Remain silent? I didn’t even know if I should say anything at all. His eyes flashed with anger and his jaw clenched.As he towered over me, his gaze pierced through me as if searching for answers to the questions that filled his mind. I felt a shiver run through my spine under his intense scrutiny.He walked to the telephone without saying anything and made a call.“Call in Doctor El” I heard him say over the phone.I wondered why he was calling a doctor—we werewolves heal quickly, and I could already feel my wounds closing, which was a painful, slow process for me. My healings are always excruciating and prolonged, unlike others of our kind.After making the call, he turned and leaned against the table behind him. His eyes fixed intently on me. His g
*BRIANNE’S POV*“You will no longer go out there to train,” He decreed, his voice firm and authoritative. “Not until you’re fully recovered,” He said.I flared up at the command, my instinct rebelled against his attempts to control me. “Who says I’m not fully recovered?” I asked him. Obviously, he wanted a reason to keep me captive, because he could clearly see that I was healed completely.His stone cold gaze roamed over me, ravaging my body before finally resting on my face, “you know I could lock you up here and your parents won’t be able to do anything about it” He threatened. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as we engaged in a silent stare-down.His threat did something to me, it wasn’t fear that I felt, but a thrill that ran through my veins like a spark of electricity. The way his eyes traveled my body as if claiming ownership, made my skin tingle with a sensation I couldn’t quite explain. He has a way of shutting me up every time, rendering me speechless with just a gla
*BRIANNE’S POV*I got back to the pack house, ready to go back to training even though Alpha Jordyn had told me not to train.I went straight to the arena, hoping to see another fight going on, but what I saw was— everybody standing erect in an organized formation.‘What were they doing? Is this also some kind of exercise?I sneaked into the arrangement, trying to blend in and avoid drawing attention to myself.“Alright!!” A female voice resounded in the open space. “I’m gonna tell y’all why we’re doing this,” she said, standing in front of the crowd.“I got orders from above” she continued, her eyes scanning the crowd before finally landing on me. “We’re going to start the basics of combat training,” she said, her voice firm and authoritative.The crowd murmured, the complaints visible on their faces.Some people turned to me, which made it even more awkward. It was as if they were blaming me for what the instructor just said.“Silence,” The instructor yelled, tuning down the murmuri
*BRIANNE’S POV*My facial expression must have been absolutely priceless because she suddenly giggled, a joyful sound that was like music to my ears. Her eyes sparkled with amusement, and her lips curled up into a playful smile. I couldn’t help but laugh too as I took her hands.She seemed more friendly than she looked.“You must be Brianne,” she suddenly said.This caught me off guard, how did she know my name? I stared at her, my eyes wide with surprise, hoping she would answer my unspoken questions.She let out a soft giggle, “are you surprised?” She asked with a playful voice. “Of course, I know you,” she said, her smile growing wider.“But…” I stuttered.“Everybody knows you,” she chuckled. “The girl who made my brother stop an ongoing training?” She said, her eyes glinting with teasing.Her brother!? “Alpha Jordyn is your brother?” I asked in disbelief.I watched her with amusement, I didn’t know Alpha Jordyn had a sister. And she was stunning! Her beauty and elegance took my b
*JORDYN’S POV*“Jordyn…call me Jordyn when we’re alone,” I said, my voice low as I gazed into her eyes. The look that flashed across her face was a mix of surprise and discomfort. I could sense her hesitation, I knew she was going to decline, her lips were already parted to protest, so I added,“It’s an order,” My tone was firm but gentle, a subtle reminder of my authority without being overbearing.Her expression was a picture of discomfort, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips pursed, as if she was struggling to come to terms with my request.It was adorable and I found myself fighting back a chuckle. Her expressions were always funny and entertaining.Just as I was enjoying the sight, she turned to look up at me, and I quickly wiped the smile off my face, attempting to fabricate a serious expression.I breathe a silent sigh of relief, feeling grateful for the opportunity to walk with her, to simply exist in her presence.The pleasure of strolling side by side with her was undeniable.
*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
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
