JAMES.[During the council meeting]I slammed my fist on the table, making the elders flinch. "We can't just sit here and do nothing while the rogues attack our pack every god-damned day they feel like!" I shouted, my voice echoing in the council hall. "We have to fight back and show them who we are!"The three elders exchanged nervous glances, avoiding my gaze. They knew I was right, but they were too afraid to admit it. They were cowards, all of them."Alpha James, we understand your frustration, but you have to be reasonable," Elder Thomas said, trying to sound calm. "The rogues have a much larger army than ours. They have been recruiting wolves from other packs, even some of our own traitors. If we go to war with them, we will be outnumbered and outmatched. It could be a suicide mission."I snorted, feeling a surge of anger. "So you're saying we should just let them kill us one by one until there's no one left? Is that your brilliant plan?""No, of course not, but we have to find a
CHLOE.[At the mansion]"I hate you, Alpha James!" I muttered under my breath, still in shock from what James had done at the hospital. How dare he expose my secret to his whole pack, making me look like a freak and a weakling.I felt humiliated in front of everyone... And for no reason other than to assert his dominance over me.I despised him greatly. He was nothing like Jake, my sweet and gentle boyfriend who had loved me for who I was.I longed to return to him, to resume our love story because I knew he must be missing me too.I locked myself in my room, ignoring the knocks on the door for the rest of the day.I didn't want to face anyone. I just wanted to be alone, to cry and grieve over my horrible day.Oh goddess, why was I wolf-less at my age? Why was I born without a purpose? Why was I so different?I wept into my pillow, wishing I could flee from this nightmare Dad brought upon me. I Wished I could go back to my old life, where I was happy and free.I counted the days unti
JAMES.[In the parking lot at the hospital]"Are you here to volunteer as well?" I got out of the car to greet Britney who was standing outside my car.She smiled and nodded."Yes Alpha James… But, how are you holding up with everything going on?" she asked, giving me a surprise hug.I stiffened out of shock, feeling a surge of contempt being touched by a woman. "I'm fine, Britney. How about you? Did the rogues get to you?" I asked unlocking her arms around me to look at her slightly bruised elbow. She shrugged peeking at her arm. "It's nothing. Just a scratch. I'm more worried about the others. They're in bad shape, Alpha. Some of them might not make it."I felt a pang of guilt wash over me. I was the Alpha of the pack, and I felt responsible for every life that was lost or hurt during the raid. I should have been more prepared and vigilant. Maybe all this would have been avoided. I sighed heavily, "Don't say that, Brit. They're strong. They'll pull through. We'll pull through. We a
CHLOE. "Wait a minute, ain't you the wolf-less rumored fiance to the Alpha?" The huge man I had bumped into the the dark alley asked grabbing my arm. I locked my lips with anxiety as I knew that if I showed these fools one ounce that I was scared of them, then they would take advantage of me and do whatever their dirty minds thought of. I sighed softly and squared my shoulders to look the man in the eyes, "I'm not your Alpha's fiance," I spat coldly in defiance, as I felt the other men eyes on me. They all laughed at me and approached with wicked grins. I knew I was in trouble again. I began thinking of how to get out of this situation. "Well, then this is great news boys. She isn't the Alpha's bitch, so let's taste how a wolf-less bitch tastes like!" one of them shouted licking his lips. My stomach knotted with anxiety.What did they mean by tasting me? I didn't want to be tasted by them… A cold shiver ran down my spine but I braved myself and didn't show that I was frightened o
JAMES. [In the study]It's been days since I kissed Chloe and apologized to her all in the name of pleasing my wolf but now it was D-Day.The day I had dreaded my whole life since the Jasmine fiasco. It was my wedding day and Chloe didn't have a clue that I was still going ahead with it because I needed her father's army more than ever now."Please, take a seat," I gestured for Alpha Tennyson who had momentarily arrived for the wedding.We both sat down."Thank you, so tell me, how has it been getting to know your bride my daughter?" Alpha Tennyson began. I clenched his jaw as I faced the older Alpha across my desk. In as much I needed Tennyson's army, I hated this arrangement, this forced marriage to a girl I barely knew and didn't care for. This past week I discovered that Chloe was annoying as fuck and her wolf-less situation was, a defect in the eyes of my pack and that's why she was looked down upon. I knew she would never satisfy my needs as a mate or Luna.But then again I
CHLOE.What's taking them so long to say their goodbyes? I paced back and forth in the living room, looking directly at the door to James's study my father and James had walked in a few minutes ago after he arrived to take me back home.I couldn't wait to leave this horrible pack to be with the love of my life Jake... I couldn't stand another minute in James's presence. I sighed heavily when suddenly, the door to the study opened and Dad walked out with slumped shoulders, I knew something was up. I hastily walked to him and clasped his hands. He led me away from James's study into the living room where a fire crackled in the hearth, casting a warm glow over the plush sofas and rugs."So Dad, what did James want to talk to you about?" I asked, feeling my stomach knot in anxiety as to what they talked about. I hoped it was something trivial, something that wouldn't affect my departure.Dad sighed softly avoiding my gaze and looking over his shoulder, "Sweetie, please get dressed for y
JAMES.[At the courthouse]"Can you smile a little, it's your wedding day for goodness sake," My father nudged me on the shoulder while we stood at the courthouse waiting for Chloe and her father to show up.I clenched my jaw and glared at him. "This is not a wedding, Dad. This is a farce. A political move to secure an alliance with the Tennyson pack. Don't expect me to act like I'm happy about it."He sighed and shook his head. "James, you know this is necessary. We need their support in the upcoming war. And Chloe is a fine young lady, you could do worse."I snorted. "I could do better, too. Like not getting married, for instance..."He opened his mouth to argue, but then he saw Alpha Tennyson's car arrive. He quickly composed himself and smiled. "There they are. Come on, son. Let's greet them."I felt a surge of annoyance at my father's utterance but I hid my emotions with a straight face.This was just a marriage of convenience and not of love.I saw Alpha Tennyson's car park near
CHLOE.[After James dropped me off at the mansion]I stormed into the mansion, slamming the door behind me."Congratulations Luna," The servants greeted me as soon as I walked into the foyer.I snorted and ignored the servants’ cheerful and curious glances. I ran up the stairs to my bedroom. There, I tore off my wedding dress and wiped away the makeup that masked my true feelings.How dare James prefer the company of his hoes on the first day of being married to me???I scoffed, feeling my blood pressure rising with each passing second.The least James could have done was spend the day with me seeing that we just got married… but No, he chose his hoes over me!!! I threw myself on the bed, hoping to find some comfort in the soft pillows and blankets, but I felt nothing. I felt empty, lonely, miserable, and angry. I wished I could cry, but I had no tears left. I had to adjust to my new life and role.I was Luna of Yellowstone and I was trapped in this hell hole for the rest of my life!
JAMES.[Two years and ten months later]Bang! Bang! Bang! The familiar banging of my office door made me groan tiredly knowing exactly who it was. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Hey my cuties, let’s go downstairs, your father is working, don't disturb him,” Lisa’s voice echoed from the hallway.“No!! We want daddy!!” My 2 year old son Asher’s voice boomed and I could imagine him stomping his feet with a pout on his mouth. “Yes, we want daddy!!” Two other childish voices screamed in unison. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Daddy…” Asher’s voice cracked and I knew he was about to cry. I put down what I was doing and sighed softly.‘Let them in,' I mind-linked Lisa to let them in.The door creaked open on its hinges and three little munchkins with a face that looked like mine ran into the office with their short tiny legs. They had worn cute adorable teletubbie’s onesies.Chloe had surprisingly given birth to two girls and one boy when we were only expecting one pup... We named the girls Carinna and Sabrina wh
CHLOE.[Minutes prior to the victory]I was terrified and very sure that this was it. That the rogue king had succeeded despite people saying the good guys always win. But why did rogue king win? Why? All he did is harm people for the blue lily and covet things that didn’t belong to him. Why did things go his way?I took a deep breath and closed my eyes in resignation as I tilted my head to the side, exposing my neck. The rogue king buried his head in the crook of my neck, inhaling lecherously and I almost gagged. His hot breath fanned my neck but all I felt was terror and repulsion. The moment his teeth grazed my neck and he was about to mark me, I felt the heaviness on the chains that bound me become lighter and I immediately broke out of them. The rogue king was too busy basking in my scent that he didn’t realize I had broken free and I wasn’t going to give him a chance to do so. Elongating my claws, I swiftly cut through his neck and his head was ripped off before he could e
JAMES.The moment I received the rogue king’s message, I started off after informing everyone about our plan. I would head to the location, which is a forest next to the dark forest that Chloe was taken to the last time she was kidnapped, then the warriors would follow and scour the woods. If the rogue king was smart, he wouldn’t place all the hostages in one place. So my father, Lisa and some warriors would search the forest whilst I go to meet the rogue king. Lisa wasn’t a warrior but her mate was captured so naturally, she couldn’t stay back home and worry all day.It was 7:15 PM when I reached the forest. Zeke was very agitated, it seemed like the moon was calling out to him.He kept growling and clawing in my mind, fighting for control. But I wasn’t going to let an edgy beast out at this critical moment when our pregnant mate needed us. I ran through the forest pack and felt some burning sensations on my skin. It wasn’t my pain but Chloe’s which meant I was close if I could f
CHLOE.I scoffed, “Has anyone of your blind followers told you that you are delusional? Fuck you.” I hissed and spat on his face. The rogue king was momentarily stunned as he probably did not anticipate my reaction.Did he think I was still the wolfless girl who cowered in fear at the sight of him like last time I was taken?“I wasn’t in a rush to do it but since you’ve suggested it yourself, I can’t say no, can I?” He said and stood up, lifting his hand towards his face as he wiped my spit with his finger and put it in his mouth. The woman holding him up sneered with a scowl but didn't say anything.Closing his eyes, he groaned as he licked my saliva off his finger. “Fuck! Your powers are amazing than I thought. I can’t wait to taste you.. the whole lot of you to see what it will do to my body,” he whispered and when he opened his eyes, they had darkened with a lecherous gaze as his frail body began to build out right in front of my face. I couldn't believe my saliva did that thim
JAMES.Months had gone by since Chloe had broken the good news about our family growing. I could say that life was great.The rogue king hadn't attacked my pack in months, peace and tranquility rained over my packmates and I.I couldn't ask for a better life than this until the day Chloe asked me to leave the pack for some baby shopping.I had been feeling edgy and extremely irritated since I woke up today. Although I had mixed feelings about letting Chloe leave the pack territory, I had to let her go after she suggested being discreet. I did not want to restrict her movements in the name of protecting her to the point of suffocation. And since no one saw her going out, I figured there would be no problem.I instructed the IT guys to keep a strict eye on the rogue king's movements so that Beta Thomas can avoid him at any cost. ‘Alpha, we found something,' one of the IT guys said through the mind-link and I immediately became alert. ‘Go on,' I said. ‘I found out something about the
CHLOE.The next morning after I tried to poison my family with my horrible food, I was more certain that my James wasn't cheating on me with that bimbo, Cindy as I thought.... Maybe, I might have overreacted just a tad bit to much…. Let's just blame it on the pregnancy hormones.“See you later babe,” I sighed softly while waving at James goodbye as he his car drove off for work the next day.Today was a brand new day and I was going to reveal my big surprise to James when he got back home.Walking back into the mansion, I couldn't stop smiling with myself at the wonderful night of passion I shared with James as he kept proving to me that he loved only me and no other she-wolf. I couldn't wait to surprise him with the good news when he got back home from work today....“Good morning Luna,” Bridget greeted me with a smile as the kitchen air filled with the sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon enveloped me. “Good morning Bridget,” I stood at the doorway, my heart racing with a secret th
JAMES.Women and their jealousy! I scoffed, while watching Chloe walk out of my office because she found me with a good friend of mine, Gamma Cindy Peterson who owned multiple well-known jewellery shops around my alliance packs.Cindy and I were just talking about her designing a one of a kind ring I would gift Chloe to replace the boring ring my father picked out for her I gave her during our wedding, but my beautiful mate took it the wrong way and got upset over nothing.I guessed jealousy got the best of her and now I had to make peace with her before things escalated out of proportion.Running after Chloe to calm her and explain why Cindy visited my office... Sort of. I found Chloe almost getting into her car, fuming with a red face.“Cupcake, wait up,” I grabbed her hands and she turned her head, whipping her blonde hair in my face and glared at me.“Wait for what, James?” She hissed, catching me off guard. I began to doubt if it was only jealousy she was feeling to act up like
CHLOE.A full month after Lewis's funeral had passed, James and I were busy training as usual in secret in the ballroom, but my body was failing me and James wasn't happy about it….“Come on cupcake, why are you slacking today? Don't hold back, fight me like you always do,” James encouraged me to train my best like I did but my body wasn't just cooperative.It's like I wasn't in the mood to do any physical activity…. My body just felt tired and heavy even after 9 hours of undisturbed sleep. I felt like someone had possessed me and taken me on an unknown marathon which left me sore and tired all over… I huffed breathlessly and sighed heavily as sweat profusely ran down my face, “Babe, I'm done for the day. I can't work out anymore…. I'm going to take a shower and rest for a bit,” I said sweetly, grabbing my towel from the floor and wiping off some sweat off my face.James huffed with flared nostrils, “But we just started?” He countered with a slight frown and I groaned inwardly as I w
JAMES.[Two hours later]Lewis had only his mother and sister as family, hence a good number of packmates attended his funeral. We all surrounded his grave in black outfits as some warriors buried him six feet underground.This wasn’t supposed to happen…at this rate many of my loved ones would be at risk of being killed. Perhaps I should hand myself over to the disgusting rogue king and have a final show down with him and fight man to man. Anger flared up inside me as I thought of dismembering the rogue king. The first thing I would do is gouge his eyes out so that they wouldn’t set their sight on any one ever again. A small warm hand enveloped mine giving it a gentle squeeze. ‘We’ll find him my love…. Together,' Chloe said through the mind-link. I led Chloe towards Lewis’s grave and got a wreath from an omega who was distributing flowers. We knelt down next to the grave and placed the wreath on the center. Staring at the picture on the tombstone. My heart squeezed painfully whe
