DanielOf course, I would never kill my father, but at that moment I couldn’t believe that anybody else would have gone against my wishes. It was infuriating that nobody had seen anything, or heard anything, and if they did, they weren’t talking. I questioned all the guards using my Alpha tone, and in the end, I had to accept that none of them knew anything.I knew where she was, and it was clear that she was not going anywhere. I couldn’t imagine Ava or her grandmother harming Liam. Which meant that his sudden disappearance remained a mystery. Nothing of what was happening made any sense, but the fact that Ava left as soon as she saw the chance.It was incredibly painful to think that she had gone to such extremes just to get away from me. I was standing at the window looking out at the pack going about their daily business, when I felt Harper slipping her arms around my waist.“What the hell do you think you are doing?!” I whipped around so fast, and pushed her so hard that she land
Ava“I suspect that Daniel’s pack is one of those that broke the bloodline spell, since they can all shift at will. I know that all of this is overwhelming, but I need you to try and process it as fast as possible. Your parents were the Alpha and Luna of our pack. Before then, your grandfather and I had that honor. To this day, we don’t know who killed your parents, or what exactly happened that night.” Grandma had a sad look in her eyes for a moment.“The pack and I believed that it was best to hide you in the human world, and you and I left. I haven’t been back to see them since then, but over the years I kept them informed about you. The pack decided to go into hiding as well, and your father’s beta took over control, but nobody claimed your birth right.” Grandma took a deep breath as though what she had to tell me next would be difficult.“As you may have guessed, you are the Alpha. From the moment we arrive, the pack will automatically become loyal to you, and their future heir t
DanielSince there was no sign of Ava, and one of the Alpha family members died, I was forced to turn my attention from searching for her, to the funeral of my brother. I could feel my father’s resentment radiating from him. He believed that Ava and her grandmother were to blame for him losing his son.It was raining the day of the funeral, which meant we had to bury my brother beside my mother, and we were not able to say goodbye in the traditional way. It didn’t matter anyway, since the days of believing that people could come back, as the undead were long gone.“I don’t care what happens on the day of my funeral. If you put my body in the ground, instead of showing me the right respect, by burning what is left, I will return, and haunt you, and all the generations of your bloodline to come. I swear Daniel, this is the last time I will accept this kind of behaviour from you.” My father growled before storming away.There was no use in trying to explain anything. I knew my father wel
AvaOver the coming months, my grandma and my family helped me to prepare the spare bedroom for my little one. I also found out that each pack had their own doctor, and that our pack’s doctor was my uncle Eddie. He was a kind gray old man, who each time asked me what I had done this time, whenever I went for a checkup.He made me feel comfortable, and it saddened me to think back to the first two ultrasound images that I left behind. The baby was growing at an alarming rate, and soon they were rushing me to our own little hospital that basically consisted of uncle Eddie’s exam room.I had gone through my first couple of shifts as a werewolf, and although it was incredibly painful, both baby and I survived. Life at the pack house was surprisingly modern, and they even had a huge baby shower for me. While I was screaming bloody murder, convinced that my son was trying to tear me apart from the inside out, my grandmother and uncle Eddie tried their best to make up for the fact that Danie
DanielI somehow convinced Harper to leave, but things were very tense all around the pack grounds. Everywhere I went I could hear people gossiping. Our future was probably somewhere out there, and I was refusing to give them the certainty of a pack Luna, and therefore the certainty of my heir being on the way.I was convinced that Ava had died, and that my son was probably now in her grandmother’s care. Somewhere out there an old woman was going to raise a werewolf. She was probably going to be killed the first time he shifted, if she lived that long.I had contacted everyone I could think of to try and help me find my son, but it seemed that Ava had either given birth under a different name, which I highly doubted, or she had not given birth in a hospital. My mind was going crazy as I imagined her frail grandmother watching her granddaughter give birth and dying.My heart, however, told me that Ava was strong, and that she had survived. The moon goddess would not have matched me wit
AvaI was fooling myself into thinking that the pack would accept another Alpha. Since I was new to this world, I mistakenly believed that it worked the same way as the human world did. I didn’t understand how important it was that the Alpha-born became the Alpha of the pack.I was quickly learning that the saying “the strongest will survive” was very literal when you were a werewolf. Although we spend most of our time in our human form, and although we were partly human, we would still turn into ravenous beasts every time the moon was full.Along with the Alpha title came the responsibility of not only leading the pack, but also protecting them. Because I was the Alpha, I was also the strongest. I was beginning to understand why Daniel had acted the way that he did, and kidnapped me.I could feel the so-called “mate bond” pulling at the back of my mind as memories of a happier time kept pushing their way forward. From the first disastrous not-dinner, to the night we made Kai. Images
HarperI always had my ear to the ground for any information of any kind. Even the smallest insignificant piece of information could sometimes help you out of a very difficult situation if you just knew how to use it, and I had become an expert of getting myself out of trouble and keeping my secrets.The day I overheard the two Omegas discussing the return of the Alpha female, my instincts told me that piece of information would turn the tides. Now that the Alpha of our biggest rivals had returned, Daniel’s attention would have to be on strengthening and protecting our pack.I could hear him and his father screaming at each other yet again, as I made my way down the passage past Ava’s old bedroom towards Daniel’s office. I was just in time to jump in between the two growling and snarling males, who were ready to tear each other apart.“What the hell are you two doing? Are you trying to kill each other? Maybe I should just leave you to finish the job, and take over the pack myself.” I
AvaIn the morning, I informed my elder council that I would accept the title. They gathered the pack, and joyous howls erupted when I informed the pack of my decision, and declared Kai as my heir. Up to that point, the future of the pack was unsure.I appreciated the respect they showed by not choosing a new Alpha while I was away, and the time had come to be the person I was always meant to be. Now that the decision had been made, and accepted by the pack, we could officially agree to a meeting with our neighbours.I quickly found out that it wasn’t as simple as just agreeing to a meeting. In the world of werewolves, having the upper-hand was always the most important. The other Alpha had insisted that we meet in his territory, but my council was telling me that it would be better for us to meet in ours.Since we were at a stalemate, I suggested that we meet in neutral territory where neither party would be able to show their true selves, and we would all be forced to behave, which
