JASON. “Alpha, Alpha…” I’m ripped out of sleep by the sound of pounding at my door. I groan with irritation while I glance at the bedside clock to check on the time. It was 02:43 AM in the morning. There better be a good reason I'm being woken up at this hour. “What is it?” I respond groggily as I sit up. Nicole is dead in her sleep as she doesn't even stir at the noise. My head warrior at the mansion peeps in his head into my room, his face tight with urgency. “Alpha, there’s been an accident.” he whispers. An accident?! The haze in my mind clears instantly. I leap out of bed, my heart racing. “What kind of accident?” I bark, already pulling on my clothes, the adrenaline surging through me. “A car, a few miles out north. You need to come now,” he says, his voice thick with something unspoken and dark. Before I can process his words, Liam's nanny appears in the doorway, clutching a baby bottle while her face is pale as a ghost. “Alpha...” she starts, her voice sha
JASON.“Jason, Jason, you honestly can't let your mom insult me in my own house. I'm to be Luna in a few days. She needs to respect me,” Nicole presses me further to say or do something about my mother uncalled for behavior but I won't pick a side."Jason, Jay.... Say something!" she snaps.A take a mouthfull of whiskey and respond to her or else she wasn't going to stop nagging me.“What do you want me to say? She is my mother and you are my fiancee. I won't pick a side when it comes to the both of you,” Nicole pouts, “Ah, you are just useless when you get drunk,” with that she storms out of the living room, leaving me in my grief.I can't believe Stacy and my heir are gone just like the wind…. Even though I divorced Stacy, I still wanted her around me and I don't know why. Could it be I still had feelings for her?Na… I love Nicole. She is my childhood sweetheart and she knows me better than Stacy did… But Stacy and I were fated and in all honesty, I think I loved her more…I'm havi
STACY.I wake up slowly while my head throbs painfully and my body aches. The air around me smells unfamiliar _ wood, herbs, something earthly. I try to sit but every inch in my body protests in pain. Panic sets in as I take in my surroundings. This isn't the pack house and certainly isn't my guest house…. I freeze when I notice a man sitting in the corner of the room, watching me like a hawk watching it's prey. My heart leaps into my throat.Jason? He got me?My first instinct is to attack and flee but as I focus on him, I realize it isn't him. This man is different. Brown hair, huge rough beard, and eyes sharp but not hostile.“Who are you?” I don't waste time to find out.The man stirs a little in his seat, “ calm down,” he says quietly with a steady voice. “I'm not going to harm you, you are safe,”Did he say safe? I don't believe him for a second. My mind immediately shifts to my son who is nowhere in sight. I sit up despite the pain while my heart races wildly.“Don't tell me I
STACY."This woman with a pup claims to be your daughter Alpha," One of the warriors answers the handsome man's question. As I stand there, my eyes locked on the young man in front of me, I can hardly believe it. "Daniel Black? You're... Alpha?" The disbelief in my voice is clear. He gives me a soft, almost hesitant smile. “Luna Stacy White or maybe I should say Stacy Barron?” My heart clench at the mention of the Barron's name, but I compose myself and respond firmly, “It's just Stacy white… but you Alpha? Since when?” I ask, my voice shaking with disbelief. Daniel steps closer to me with a smirk and licks his lips. “I know, it’s a lot to take in and I'm guessing you are here to see your parents… come, I will take you to them and I’ll explain everything.” I nod dumbfoundingly while I follow him, still trying to wrap my head around it. Daniel Black—my ex boyfriend, the beta’s son—is now the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack? My mind races as I trail behind him toward the sleek
STACY. “Thank you for your offer Daniel, but I think it's best I stay at the pack house instead,” I say. “At the pack house? No. I can't possibly allow a special guest of mine to stay there,” Daniel glances over at me as we drove toward what I remember as home. “But I have a son and I don't want to_” Daniel cuts in my sentence with a small smirk tugging at his lips. “Relax, Stacy. I won’t bite,” he teases lightly. “You can stay as long as you need, and I’ll respect your space.” I nod hesitantly, glancing at Liam, who was dozing peacefully in my arms. “I appreciate it, Daniel. I really do.” My voice is soft, unsure if I made the right decision. But then again it was getting late and going back to the pack house could cause a lot of gossip considering how I showed up... A private place to think and regroup before trying with my parents again don't sound like a bad idea... A few minutes later, we arrive at the mansion—the same one I had grown up in— good childhood memories rus
STACY. “I’ve got everything I need now,” I murmur to Daniel, feeling unsettled. “Can we go now?” Daniel nods, ever calm. “Of course.” He steps ahead and pays for everything without hesitation. We walk out of the clothing store with bags in hand, the weight of the whispers still hangs in the air. I’m desperate to leave. The gossip brewing—it’s all too much. As we near the exit of the mall, I hesitate for a moment, as I spot a woman dressed in an all black outfit who reminds me of Hannah…. I haven't spoken to her since I left. “Can I… Can I use your phone?” I ask, unsure of how he’ll respond. He stops mid-step and looks at me, raising an eyebrow. “Do you want to call Jason?” I shake my head quickly. “No. Not him. I just want to check on a friend who helped me recently.” Daniel studies me for a second longer before a small smile tugs at the corner of his lips. “If that's the case, I think it’s time you had your own phone,” he says, matter-of-factly. Before I can protest, he turn
JASON. A few days after dress shopping with Nicole, it’s the day of my wedding—a day I’m supposed to feel on top of the world, yet something feels off. The sun is shining, the guests are arriving, but I can’t shake this heaviness in my chest. I’m standing in the grand hall, waiting for Nicole’s father, Victor Cruz, a former Beta turned Rogue, to arrive with his entourage. Nicole had completely refused to go ahead with the wedding without her father's presence even though mine wouldn't be in attendance. "Sorry to bother you Alpha, but what time will we start the ceremony?" my officiant asks me in a respective tone. I glance at my wrist watch to see the time and sigh. "As soon as Nicole's father arrive. Now please excuse me while I gather my thoughts," I dismiss him to recall the past and think if I'm doing the right thing... A brief history on Victor Cruz is that he was my father's Beta back in the day but he got power hungry and wanted to overthrow my father and gain his title…
JASON. “I won’t eat or drink anything you give me. Take this filth away!” My voice shakes with barely contained rage as I slap the glass from the bedside table, watching it shatter on the floor. Nicole’s face pales, her hands trembling as she recoils with wide eyes filled with fear. Meanwhile, Victor stands off to the side, his lip curling in disgust. “Pathetic,” he sneers, his disdain cutting through the air like a blade. “Baby, what’s gotten into you?” Nicole takes a tentative step toward me, her voice soft but laced with desperation. I can’t bear to be near her. I can feel she isn't being honest with me and it chokes me. I feel the heat rising beneath my skin, my wolf clawing to be let out. If I stay any longer, I might do something I can’t take back. Without another word, I turn and storm out of the house, my muscles quaking with the need to escape. “Jason, my love,” Nicole's voice calls for me but it falls on deaf ears. I can't stand dishonest people. As soon as I’m outsi
