ALLISON.

In the midst of my panic, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me close. I gasped, and I almost offered a punch if I didn’t soon recognize his scent, Liam. He was already in his human form and I could vaguely see his silhouette through the thick smoke. He didn’t say a word. He didn’t need to. His grip was firm but careful as he pressed me against his chest, shielding me as the smoke swirled around us.

I was surprised at our sheer proximity but a part of me was thankful that he was there. The thought that he immediately went to find me in the pile of smoke made me feel strangely good.

By the time the smoke cleared, the attackers were gone. All of them, vanished like ghosts. I blinked, trying to process what had just happened. Damn it, they just escaped! I bald my hand into a fist, angry that the masked devils dipped before we could make them all pay. I looked around me to see if I would find any clues or trails they had left behind but my thoughts screeched to a ha

    ALLISON.He made it out alive! River and his men… oh goddess, I thought it would be too late to save them but it turns out River was stronger than I thought. Damn, of course he was! The man was a warlock and an Alpha. A part of me wondered if I worried about him for nothing. Still, I was relieved to see him well and donning his usual bored expression.I wish Liam was as thrilled as I am though. The Bloodhound’s brows furrowed as soon as River strode into the mansion. Suddenly, every single conversation in the room died. Even the Liam’s men around us who were rushing my unconscious pack mates inside suddenly moved in hushed movement when they noticed the presence of another Alpha inside. Behind River were Hudson, Victor, and Marcus, their faces etched with exhaustion and streaked with blood and grime. Each of them looked like they had just walked out of a battlefield and I guess they did. Those rogues were really persistent.Without a word, River swung his arm forward and hurled the se

    ALLISON.He strode toward me, ignoring all the curious eyes around us or the fact that River and Liam look equally shocked to see him here. Daniel’s eyes were all mine as he raised his arms, about to pull me into a hug when Liam stepped forward, blocking his way like a steel wall.“What do you think you’re doing?” Liam’s voice was low and menacing, his green eyes narrowing into slits.River let out a long, exaggerated sigh. “What’s he doing here, Allison? I’ve got enough pricks to deal with today.”Daniel stopped short, his gaze flicking to Liam and River as if noticing them for the first time. The usual softness on his face quickly melted into a cold expression. Damn, I didn’t know he was capable of looking so intimidating.“I’m here for Allison,” he answered, his voice firm.River scoffed. “No shit.”Daniel’s gaze shifted to River, and the chill in his expression deepened. It was unsettling to see the warm and kind Daniel I remembered replaced by someone so cold. His eyes swept over

    ALLISON.“Yes. Edna told me that the people who had attacked their pack were wearing strange masks made of metal. I’ve been investigating about them ever since. That’s how I ended up here two weeks ago. I’ve been investigating the nearby places and states and when I heard about a human town near your pack that was attacked roughly two weeks ago, I thought it matched the pattern of their other attacks.”I blinked at him, trying to process everything. He was talking about the brutal attack that made Quinn consider to create an alliance with the Moonstone pack. She was worried that our pack would be the next target and she was right all along.“So, now you’re here because…”“I had a hunch the Flower Moon Pack would be their next target.”“That makes sense, but how exactly did you know that the attack would be today?” I probed.Daniel looked around, eyeing the curious gazes of the people around us. I haven’t noticed that Liam’s men and some of my packmates had been listening to our conver

    ALLISON.No one in the room reacted to that. They were all looking at me, even the three Alphas who have been bickering since they met were oddly quiet, their eyes remained on me. I bit my lips and decided to ask the question that I’ve been dreading.“I-Is my baby okay? This is the second time that I’ve bled like this. Did something happen to my baby?”Lena draped her palm over my stomach and briefly closed her eyes, as if feeling my baby’s presence with her touch. When she opened her eyes, she shook her head which only made me more nervous.“I-Is there something wrong? Did I lose the baby?” I asked, anxious.“The child is okay,” Lena confirmed.Oh, thank goddess!A shaky laugh escaped my throat. River leaned over and planted a kiss on my forehead. Liam collapsed on a nearby chair, his fingers raking over his hair while Daniel took a deep breath and put his hands on his hips.“But you need to have a proper rest, after this. A Lycan pregnancy can be dangerous if the mother’s body is st

    ALLISON."Gamma?" Anna's voice was hesitant, her gaze darting to the three Alphas standing near the doorway.I gave her a small, reassuring smile, though my heart felt heavy. "Give me a moment, Anna."She hesitated but eventually nodded, quietly shutting the door behind her. Now it was just me and them; Daniel, Liam, and River. Their expressions ranged from calm and controlled to downright irritated, their Alpha auras pressing down on me like an invisible weight.Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and faced them. "I’ll say this again, I’m keeping this baby. There’s no argument in that. But that doesn’t mean any of you are obligated to take responsibility. I didn’t ask for this, and I don’t expect anything from any of you.”Daniel started to speak, but I quickly held up a hand to silence him. I wasn’t done."I just want to keep the baby safe and healthy. That’s all that matters to me right now. Once I give birth, we can figure out who the father is, if it even matters by then

    ALLISON.Tears welled in her bloodshot eyes as she pulled me into an embrace. “You’re such a stubborn girl, and for that… I’m grateful. Thank you, Allison.”I returned her hug. It felt so good to be home again and to finally give Quinn exactly what I had promised her. After that, I hastily wiped my tears away and let River do his job.River stepped forward, handing her a small dagger to Quinn. "Take this. You’ll need to cut yourself. Your family was cursed by a Crimson Witch. Their curses are laid with blood, and only blood can break them." he explained.Quinn took the dagger without any hesitation. With her frail hands, she sliced her wrist, letting her blood drip onto the pulsing fragment. Then, I watched as River began chanting some incantations, his voice deep and resonant:“Flames of the ancient, burn the night,Undo the curse, restore the light.By blood and fire, the bond is broken,The dragon’s will, the words are spoken.”Quinn convulsed on the bed, her mouth open in a silent

    ALLISON.Lena nodded. “He went back to our pack. I believed that he was summoned by the council about something.”My stomach dropped. He hadn’t said a word to me. I wasn’t his keeper, and he certainly didn’t owe me any explanations, but it still stung. After everything we’d been through today, I would’ve thought…Oh, come on, Allison. The guy isn’t even your boyfriend, or any of those five hot men, for that matter. I should seriously pull myself together. They could live their lives for all I care! I clenched my jaw as I tried to mentally lecture myself.Well, come to think of it, he may have left but he still made sure to leave some of his people behind. Some of his sentinnels were patrolling our territory and Lena was here as well. The thought that he didn’t completely abandon me made me feel a little better. I wasn’t sure why Liam’s sudden departure had unsettled me so much, but at least he’d ensured someone was here to help my pack.After Lena wrapped up the check up, my eyes quic

    ALLISON.Just then, a gentle knock on door broke the heavy silence. The door was slightly ajar, and standing there was Daniel, his blond hair catching the dim light of the hallway.“Mind if I come in?” he asked, smiling.“Daniel, sure!”He stepped inside and his soft amber eyes found me. “How are you feeling?”“I’m okay. But I definitely need to rest more in the coming weeks.”“That’s good,” he said, nodding. “You’ve had enough stress lately. It’s time to take it easy.”I let out a tired laugh. “Easier said than done. I’m still the Gamma of my pack. There’s always something that needs my attention.”He frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing in concern. “Let someone else handle it for a while.”My hand drifted to my belly, stroking it gently. “I’ll try. I want to focus on the baby from now on.”Since the curse has been lifted, Quinn will be in great shape in the following days. I’m positive that she would be itching to do all the heavy stuffs from now on. I heard Emily was also recoverin

    RIVER.The third stop was the supermarket. The endless aisles felt like a maze designed to frustrate the shit out of me. I wasn’t used to doing groceries.We roamed around the huge supermarket but we couldn’t find the aisle with baby products in it. At some point, we’ve come to the women’s section where we found some sanitary napkins. This was more frustrating than I thought.“I think we’re lost,” Wesley said while looking around the nearby aisles with canned goods.“Let’s try the aisle on the left,” Liam suggested, leading us straight into the pasta section.“You might be a genius, Miller.” I crossed my arms, staring at the rows of spaghetti and penne. “Are we looking for diapers or ingredients for a damn pesto?”“You’re one to talk. You mistook a sanitary pad for an infant diaper,” Liam shot back.Fucker.“You’re all useless. Let’s try over there,” Mason groaned.Eventually, we found the right aisle and loaded up on diapers, wipes, and baby soap. Liam and I raced to the cashier, but

    RIVER.“They’re all wonderful.” Daniel nodded in approval.“Awesome! So, what clothes did catch your attention?” the lady asked.“Everything.” Wesley crossed his arms. “We’ll take them all.”Her eyes widened. “All of them?”Wesley nodded and reached for his card, only for the rest of us to do the same. Fuck.“Woah—I, uh…”The poor woman looked utterly flustered as five black cards were thrust at her.“Put your disgusting cards away. I’ll pay,” I said in a sharp voice.“How about you burn yours? Wouldn’t want it to get declined,” Mason retorted.This bastard…“We’re in Colorado, it’s my turf. I’ll pay,” Daniel insisted, waving his card towards the poor lady.“Don’t act like you’re the prince of this state, Angel. The sales lady will get my damn card,” Liam argued, frowning.“Keep it up, guys. I have ten more of this,” Wesley said boredly.These goddamn idiots, I swear…The sales lady looked torn. She chewed on her lips while glancing at each of our cards demanding to get a swipe at the

    RIVER.The first few hours after the baby was born were chaotic, to say the least. Allison’s vitals stabilized, but she was still in a magic-induced coma. While Quinn, Emily, and the three idiots were down in the nursery, cooing over the baby, I chose to stay back and check on Allison. Someone had to keep watch over Allison. Wesley was busy doing another round of checkups on her.I sat by her bedside, holding her hand. It felt small, fragile in mine, very different from her usual fiery strength. I missed the sound of her voice, her feisty attitude, the usual scowl on her face. Fuck, I missed her so much. My thumb brushed over her knuckles, and I pressed a kiss to her hand.Please wake up, Allison. Please be okay. The baby needs you. I need you.Wesley’s hand clapped my shoulder, jolting me out of my thoughts. "She’ll pull through, River," he said. His voice was calm, but there was a quiet reassurance to it that somehow made me believe him. Maybe because he was doctor or maybe because

    DANIEL.“You’re not holding her right,” I chided him, carefully supporting the baby’s neck with my hand since River couldn’t hold a baby to save his life.River adjusted his grip awkwardly. “Hey, I’m trying, man. Stop nagging me.”His voice was a little too loud, and the baby let out a startled cry.“Great job, Perez,” Liam growled from the corner and stepped forward. “You’ve got a talent for making babies cry. Hand her over to me before you scar her for life.”River shot Liam a glare but he was already panicking because of the baby’s incessant cries so he reluctantly handed the baby over. To everyone’s surprise, her cries stopped almost immediately as Liam cradled her with surprising ease.“Shh, don’t worry, little one, it’s okay. I’m here.” Liam murmured; his deep voice soft. The baby hiccupped once but didn’t cry again, her tiny fists clutching at the air. Liam smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth twitching as he brought one of her hands close to his lips and kissed it lightly.

    DANIEL.I thought it would be a quick recovery for Allison, or maybe at least a few weeks would be enough to get her all patched up but I was wrong.Eight months had passed and Allison still hadn’t woken up. Her belly had grown with the baby, but her heartbeat remained weak. She looked peaceful, but it wasn’t enough.Quinn held her hand, her face etched with worry. “What’s the plan now?”Quinn and Emily were here today. After settling the aftermath of the vampire attack in their pack, they would visit Allison in Colorado to check on her. I would also do the same thing. I would go back to Chicago for three days to tie up some loose ends in my pack before staying here to check on Allison for four days. That has been my routine for the past eight months and the other Alphas pretty much had the same routine too.I still hated the fact that I would get to see their faces every time I visit Allison. But I didn’t have the energy to fuck with them when all I could think about was Allison’s fu

    RIVER.I’ve seen this scene before.How life slowly faded in the eyes of the woman who meant so much to me.“Allison!” I called her name as I struggled to dive deep into the river, catching her in my arms before she sunk even further.Her body felt so cold, like a bucket of ice, devoid of the warmth of life. No, it shouldn’t be like this. My fingers trembled as I stroked her face pale. She should be warm, alive.Not like this.“River, we need to get her to the bank. Let’s go!” Wesley’s voice snapped me back to reality.We waded through the freezing water, my arms wrapped around Allison’s body as I pulled her with me.The icy river bit at my skin, but I didn’t care. My arms were wrapped tightly around Allison’s limp body. Wesley’s voice was distant, almost drowned out by the pounding in my ears, but I forced myself to focus.“Get her to the bank, River!” he urged as he swam through the freezing water along with Mason and the remaining survivors from our men.The cold water slowed my mo

    ALLISON.“Start the fucking jet. Now!” River yelled at the pilot to take off.Wesley took my hand and stroked my knuckles. He was so tensed as he glanced at the window too, checking the vampires outside. As the jet ascended, I thought we were safe, until I heard the metallic screech of vampires tearing into the fuselage.“Fuck!” Mason exclaimed.The fight wasn’t over.The sound of metal shrieking made my blood run cold. They were tearing into the jet!"They’re on the jet!" Hudson’s shout rang through the cabin.I turned in my seat just in time to see the flash of claws ripping through the fuselage. Ten vampires clung to the outside of the plane, their glowing red eyes glaring at us through the gaping tear in the metal."Bloody parasites," River growled, his voice dripping with venom. He yanked a silver crucifix from his belt, the edges were sharp, almost like a dagger. A crucifix was one of a vampire’s fatal weakness.He twisted it in his hand like he couldn’t wait to put it to use. H

    ALLISON.But just when I thought that we would be doomed tonight, the white car who has been tailing them earlier pulled over. Four more of Wesley’s men poured out. Now, there was seven of us. The odds were looking better.The vampire ringleader didn’t look impressed. He let out a humorless laugh while gazing to our lot.“Oh, come on, bringing a couple of spare men to fight us? How predictable. I guess the Morgans aren’t shit, after all,” he mocked.As he stepped closer, I could see him clearly now. He stood tall and lean, his long, bleach-blonde hair cascading over his shoulders. His face was sharp, with a chiseled jaw and a devious grin that was dripping with pure wickedness.“You’ll be shitting on your grave once I’m done with you,” Wesley growled.The ringleader shook his head. He looked almost bored.“Hand that girl over, come on. I’ll give you a treat if you act like good boys,” he taunted.That only made Wesley snap. He shifted into his wolf form and I was at awe at his appeara

    “Wesley… there’s still something you’re not telling me.” I gritted my teeth and narrowed my eyes at him.He took a careful breath. “They’re coming back, Allison. Daniel spotted the masked attackers a few miles away from your pack. He had some of his men with him that time, so they were able to stop them before advancing to your pack.”That must be the reason why Wesley has been acting tensed since morning and the thing about Daniel…“Is Daniel okay? Did he got hurt? Injured?” I asked, worried.“Daniel’s fine. He got off with minimal injuries and even managed to capture some of those masked attackers.”“Then why are we running?”There was still something he wasn’t telling me. I could feel it.Wesley’s jaw tightened. Then, he blew a heavy breath and gave up.“Because it’s not just them. Daniel found out during interrogation that there are… other organizations involved. They’re targeting you.”“Why?” My stomach churned.Quinn has also suspected this much but until now, I still didn’t kno
