Chance She was standing in front of me, looking gorgeous as ever. Rachael Tarion was a desirable woman indeed. My gaze fell on her tummy and she took a step back, rubbing it. We held each other's gaze for a long time before Paris spoke. " Chance," she wrapped her arms around my waist, and I saw pain in Rachel's eyes. I inhaled and moved away from her for some weird reason. ' Stop,' I mind-linked her. My parents and hers arranged for us to marry, and we've been together for a long time, but when I met Rachel, everything changed. ' Chance-; ' I know. As I said, I won't break your heart,' I assured her. Despite her beauty and power, Paris had a lot of insecurities and what she feared most was that he would back out of the wedding. " Rachel, I didn't know you were coming," I sighed, extending my hand toward her. She looked at it and then me before taking it. She glanced at Paris, silently asking her to leave, but the pretty woman was resolute about staying. " Excuse us... pleas
Adira Hank, alpha Park's beta, is working with the enemies and is the reason they knew about their trip and kidnapped his people. He was a spy for Zion. " Why did he want to kill us?" I asked, " He was scared... Maybe," the woman answered. " And where is your daughter?" I asked. " She's amongst the people that were kidnapped," she answered. ' The alpha's beta is a traitor, a spy,' I mind-linked Wyatt. ' I'll deal with him. Stay safe,' he said. I left the wing, asking the men to release the woman. I was anxious, waiting for my mate. Hours went by and they were not back. What was taking them so wrong? Did something go wrong? None of the packhouse members were able to sleep, just waiting. I held a crying girl, Joy, in my arms. Her mother was one of the abducted women. With my sharp hearing, I heard several cars approach before they could enter the gates. " They are here!" I announced and everyone cheered, getting to their feet and rushing outside. A long line of cars
Aspen. My mate, my mate who I longed to see and dreaded at the same time, was behind that door. Janice, Janice, I said softly, tasting her lovely name on my tongue. My mate was beautiful, she had a symmetrical face, plump lips, and long raven hair with a slim body. I pushed the door open and her teary-stained gaze found mine, " Hi," I said, sitting on the edge of her bed. She didn't say a word and I wondered if she was mute. " I'm Aspen... Aspen Masons," I said and she nodded. " Can you talk, Janice?" I asked. I didn't want to offend her, but I wanted to know. She shook her head and turned her gaze away from me. I wanted to learn about her, but I didn't know how, she still seemed to be in shock at all that happened, and I didn't know yet if I'd accept her as my mate or if she wanted me as a mate. She was a dark wolf and their way was different from ours. They didn't believe in mate bonds. We stayed in silence, just looking at each other. Janice has been through a lot, and I d
Adira I was looking in the mirror, pleased the disgusting rash had gone after taking Doctor Khuna's medication. It was starting to irritate me and could only be calmed by Wyatt's touch. " Ready, my love," Wyatt asked. I nodded and put the mirror away. He frowned. I touched the spot where the red rash was. " We need to find Zion soon. He's adamant about marking you and has a strong sorcery if this happened," he said. " Yes, " I sighed, leaning against his chest. He kissed my head tenderly and directed me to the conference room where everyone was. They all stood up and bowed when we entered, and when we sat, they took their seats. Janice stood up and started showing us maps and places where the villas were. She was a little slow at speaking because of her stutter, but she spoke loudly and clearly and everyone was patient. I noticed the more she spoke, she didn't stutter as much. " T- this one is a p-pack h-he recently took over a- and the men are loyal to him," she said. J
I had not seen him in a while and I missed him. I smiled at him," Hey," I waved." Are you good?" he asked, and I nodded, he was from training and was all sweaty. I scrunched my face in disgust.He threw an arm around me and I pushed him away; " Eew, you're all sweaty!"" I missed you," he sighed, looking into my eyes." I did too,"" Wyatt told me what happened, how are you?" he asked softly." I've been well. I had just left a meeting with Chance and Rachel," I informed him. " Speaking of the meeting, why weren't you there when Janice was giving us locations to Zion's villas?" I asked." Jett and I were following a lead."" What lead?"" To Zion. Corey mentioned to Jett a location he liked, and we followed that. However, we didn't find Zion but some of his men were there," he informed me.So they planned to use Corey to find the dark wolf's location." I'm glad to hear that, however, this will risk their relationship," I said, concerned about the gamma. I knew that he and Corey reco
Wyatt. Philipe was showing us the new weapons that were made and had been helpful as we had been hunting down every villa that Janice told us about, and we had destroyed many of them. However, we were still yet to catch Zion. " And the pack?" I asked. " Oh don't worry about it, security is top-notch here," he said, "Our guards are ready and in groups, they are stationed everywhere," he informed me. We left the factory and went to the palace. Just then, Mother arrived with Azriel. My brother and I exchanged a glance. We were thinking the same thing. They have tried to hide it but our mother and Philipe have something going on. " Hi, son, how is it going?" Mom asked. " Preparing, we are destroying most of his packs, so he is desperate and will want to attack soon," I informed her. She took a deep breath. " I just hope it doesn't come to battle, people will die," " It's war Mother, people will die, but all we can do is reduce the number of deaths on our side," " We'll win,
Zion I was furious with what was going on. We were being attacked relentlessly by the king's man and I learned through a liable source that Janice happened to be the beta's mate and the bitch betrayed me. I was going to make her pay. I walked into my office where my loyal army leaders were sitting, waiting for me. " Sire," they bowed in respect. " Thank you for coming," I told them. " Any news?" " They attacked a large group of us," my anger boiled, and I slammed my fist on the table. Vaux, a general in my ranks, faced the floor. He knew how important that time was because they were strong elite wolves that we took when we attacked the Rooseline pack. " Hmm, what else," I asked. " I was thinking we should attack the Diamond pack soon," another general said. " I want Adira," I said, and they all exchanged worried glances. " My lord, we were thinking getting the Luna of the Diamond pack is not the wise thing to do now. Yes, you might get power if we mark her but we don't k
Adira The days were tranquil, everyone was happy and seemed content. The pack was flourishing and the cherry on top was that; Wyatt and Azriel were talking without growls or death threats. However, my heart was still heavy, a war was coming and everyone knew, yet no one wanted to talk or think about it. Wyatt assured me that we would win, but I knew our people would still die, our warriors who swore to defend this pack. My phone rang and I answered it: " Hey Monique," I smiled, getting out of Wyatt's arms and standing by the window. " Hi, beautiful. Guess what?" " Um, you're pregnant?" I teased, knowing how much she was scared of that. " Back to the sender," she shouted, and I laughed. " I receive," "Desmond proposed marriage to me," she said. I was stunned. I didn't know what to do. My mind went to Eva. If he broke up with her, was she alright? " Wow," " That's what I said too. He talked to Evangeline Maitus, and she was okay with canceling the whole engagement. Afte
