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
Azriel It was Adira's birthday party and everything was going well. She and I spoke. I missed her a lot, however, she was worried about something, and it worried me too. " You're uneasy about something," I told her. " I'm fine, don't worry about me," she said. I caressed her warm smooth cheek. " I worry so much that if I got a daisy because of how much I worry, I'd have a garden by now," I told her. " Thank you for worrying about me, but I'm fine, just focus on yourself, Azriel," The rest of the party was pretty fun, and everyone was celebrating and dancing to all kinds of songs. " She's happy," Millie said, her eyes like mine fixed on Wyatt and Adira. Wyatt was singing to her, and she was smiling from ear to ear. Most times I am jealous of my brother, he seems to have it all, the adoration, the respect, the alpha wolf, and now, the girl. " I'm proud of you, Azriel," " Why?" I sounded hoarse. Millie gave me a bottle of beer that I immediately took to my lips, "I know
Adira " They are at the beach?" I asked Yang, slowly. She nodded quickly, excited. " Lovely," I murmured. Wyatt and Azriel were together, at the beach, and they went there willingly, without being forced by Mila. A wonderful day indeed. The clouds were clear and blue. A car stopped in front of me and Faye got out, seeming chippy. " Hi," she waved, I waved back and exchanged pleasantries before going into the garden. I was sitting in front of her as she briefed me on what happened last week with Azriel and his reaction to asking him out on a date. " He just seemed terrified," she laughed, that was so Azriel. I spent the entire day with Faye, having fun and talking about the boys. To our surprise, Rachel had joined us. She was bored at her apartment because Chance was out of the city. " What's up with you and Paris," I asked Rachel. " Oh, that woman is a menace in my life," she complained, sipping her lemon juice again. " What did she do?" Faye asked. She and Rachel have
