Sixty: Xander

Author: Sara Islam
last update Last Updated: 2021-07-05 02:34:51

Everything felt so right. There was not a single thing that I wished to change in my life. I was ecstatic, yet petrified at the same time. It was hard to believe that this dream life I was finally blessed with was not going to be stolen from me. Happiness had a tendency to leave me. I prayed with all my heart to have this life forever.

Everything was fine with my pack. Until this very moment, Crimson hadn't taken any step to respond to my not signing the truce. Their silence worried me, but I was ready for anything. My warriors were alert and wide awake and so were my patrols.

My family was happy. Every single one of them. Jorah and his mate were living the best moments of their lives. Nobody was able to understand how she managed to speak out of the blue like that, but we were all grateful. Rowena was happy with her second pregnancy even though she wasn't exactly excited about the idea at first. As for Dinah and Keith, their life was stable and calm. Everything was

    Determination filled me as I walked beside Xander. I was the Luna of Silver Moon and I had to be strong. I had to show Crimson that I was unbreakable. I had been through hell, but I wasn't broken. I came out strong. Maybe I was still traumatised, but with the support and love of my pack and my strong will, I was going to get over my trauma. I was going to do whatever it took to employ it for my own benefit. I was going to get over my fear and be strong for the sake of my pack, the people I loved, and myself. One arm was engaged with Xander’s and I held my dress with my other hand. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with air as I walked inside the ballroom with my mate and my family. Their words played in the back of my mind, pouring the courage I needed into my soul. I don’t beg. I don't plead. I take matters into my own hands. The words Jorah kept repeating while training me refused to leave my mind, reminding me of what he had been teaching me.

    I didn't know what Ayla was thinking about, but her face was glowing with happiness. I twirled her around as we danced, not caring about the looks everybody was giving us, even the Alphas and their Lunas. Her smile was wide, radiant, and contagious. I found myself smiling just by looking at her beautiful face. For years, I had wished for somebody like her and now that I had her, it all felt surreal, like a dream coming true. I was petrified of waking up from that dream. The way she said ‘I love you’ out of the blue made my heart skip a beat. It wasn't her first time saying it, but I loved it when she said it out of the blue when I least expected it. The way she held onto me as we danced made me feel that I was the luckiest man in the world. I had never been this happy in my life. Mirk had never been this calm. She brought out the best in us. When we finished dancing, I kept a hold of her hand and pecked her lips. I wanted to declare my

    I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I was overwhelmed, happy, and relieved at the same time. The way they all defended me was unbelievable. When Charlene started to verbally attack me, I was worried as flashbacks of what she had done to me came to my mind that I almost shuddered before her. Jorah took me by surprise when he stepped in front of me when Elbert was a step away from hitting me. My relationship with him had evolved. He no longer saw me as the outsider who showed up all bloody and almost dead at their borders. I considered him a very very close friend and I hoped that he saw me the same way, not just the Luna of his pack. Soon, the ball came to an end. It was a fun event to attend. Xander introduced me to many people that I had already forgotten most of their names. I could sense how he was proudly showing me off to anyone, making me feel like he couldn't believe I was really with him. That was enough to make guilt make its way to my heart. I didn't

    Apart from the unpleasant encounter with Crimson, the trip to Ohio was magnificent. From shopping with the girls to an amazing date with my mate, everything was remarkable and amazing. I event went out with Loana; it felt good to bond with my childhood best friend after so many years. I hadn’t gotten over what happened at the ball. Charlene was forced to apologize to me. Her eyes flickered with bitterness as she uttered the heavy words she had never said to anyone. Although I was content with the way things had changed, it still pained me that I didn’t get to have normal parents or siblings like most people. I wished I had with my so-called sisters the same relationship that Xander had with Rowena. The Moon Goddess made it up to me though. She gave me a wonderful family and a mate who was ready to protect me against the whole world. I was bewildered by Oriana’s behaviour. I didn’t get why she came after me and why she felt the need to tell me what she said. I

    “Hi!” I grinned, taking Elena in my arms as she ran towards me while giggling. She had started walking recently and ever since then, Rowena had been going out of her mind. I picked her up in my arms and kept kissing her chubby cheeks. “I miss you,” I mumbled, holding her close to me. “And you're the first arrival,” Rowena welcomed me. “Dinah is not coming. Cayden fell sick last night and she doesn't want to leave him alone.” “That's fine. We can just plan everything and tell her what we decided to do,” I said, sitting down on the couch and taking Elena on my lap. “She likes you a lot,” she commented, watching her daughter resting her head on my chest. “I love her,” I mumbled, kissing the top of her head. “She makes me want to have children,” I laughed a little, but Rowena gave me a look of surprise. “You're thinking about having kids?” “I have been thinking about this since I returned from Peru. I want to be a mother, Rowena, but I wan

    I looked at Melanie and motioned for her to stay silent and follow me. I didn’t want anybody to see this or find out about what I could do now, but I had to tell her. There was no lie in my head that could convince her that what she had just witnessed was nothing.The two of us made our way to the backyard and sat down.“care to explain?” she said, keeping her eyes on me.“After I shifted I found out that I can heal myself. I found out about that while I was locked in the cells at Crimson,” I started, looking down. “Nobody knows about this. Not even Xander. I didn’t want to tell anyone,” I continued, lifting my eyes to meet hers.“I understand if you didn’t want to tell me, but I don’t understand why you’re keeping this away from the rest.” I frowned at her words.“Why would I keep it from you but tell the others?”“Maybe because we have only know

    “I think I might sleep for two days straight,” Jorah said as he parked his car in my driveway. “We can all have tomorrow off,” I told them. We worked for fourteen hours straight today. Saying that we were drained would be an understatement. I rubbed my chest as I felt a stinging sensation. “I think I will take Dinah out tomorrow. We haven’t been on a date for long,” Keith said. My baby was already planning the perfect night for me. I didn’t need to wait until tomorrow to get my reward for working my ass off at work. “By that smirk on your face, I think you’re going to get laid tonight,” Declan commented, making me chuckle. “Fuck off!” I shoved him before getting out of the car. “Xander, help me out,” I heard Ayla’s voice through the bond, grabbing my full attention that I didn’t close the door of the car. “What’s going on?” I asked, already getting worked up. I was hoping that whatever she needed help with wasn’t rela

    I had been sitting here for so long or maybe not. I wasn’t sure how long I had been here. I lost track of time the moment she was taken to the OR. Jorah kept assuring me that she was going to be okay, but I was still doubtful. I was only going to be convinced of that when she would wake up. I asked them to give me the arrow after extracting it out of her body. I was going to hunt down whoever did that to her. Somebody wanted her dead and I was going to make them wish for death. Against my will and for her sake, I didn’t hunt down her family like the weak prey they were. Had it not been for the way she requested that, they would have all been in my dungeons now, but this is different. This was her life that was at stake. “She’s going to be okay, Xander. The arrow didn’t hit her heart,” Jorah tried to calm me down as I waited on one of the seats in the waiting room. It was close to her heart though. “Somebody tried to kill my mate,” I flatly spoke. “I’m g

    The plane landed and it took everything in me to prevent myself from squealing like a child. I couldn't believe that I was here again. I was less than an hour away from seeing Delora. I missed her so much. FaceTiming and constantly talking weren't enough. I needed to see her. “Somebody seems ecstatic.” I could feel the grin in Xander’s voice. “I can't believe that I'm here! It's been so long since I last saw her,” I told him. I wished I could tell her what I was, so she would be able to visit me in California, but I couldn't do that. I was afraid of the way she might react. Some things were better left unsaid. The two of us got up once we were allowed to leave the plane. Delora was waiting for us at the airport, but we weren't going to her apartment. I decided to make my friend experience the lush life she never got to have. Since Xander and I were going to stay at a seven-star hotel for two weeks, I booked a room for her too. I wanted to spend as muc

    By winning the battle over Crimson, I became the legal heir of being its Alpha. After all, I was Elbert’s daughter and the Luna of the pack that won the battle, not to mention that I was a member of Crimson; Elbert never declared me a rogue. According to the Charter that set the provisions for packs, if a member of a pack won in a battle against the Alpha of the said pack, then legally, the said member had the right to the Alpha position. Since Silver Moon’s victory meant my victory too, this meant that I was the new Alpha of Crimson. Since I had become the Alpha of Crimson, everything related to the pack was under my administration, but I demanded a meeting with our friends who were also our advisors— Oriana and Dorin, her mate, were also among the advisors. There was something important I wanted to talk to them about. “It doesn’t make sense if I am a Luna here and an Alpha there. This is too confusing and pointless,” I spoke, earning their attention. The wedding wa

  • The Alpha's Halo   Epilogue

    Xander fulfilled his promise. He gave me my dream wedding, just like how I imagined it in my head. As always, he did whatever he could to make my dreams come true. Excitement filled me as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The white gown I was wearing was everything I could wish for in a wedding dress. The top was heart-shaped and the sleeves were long, glittery, and sheer. Tiny stars of a lighter shade than the dress’s colour were scattered on the fabric, making me feel like I placed a hint of my favorite time of the day on one of the most memorable dresses I would ever wear. Melanie made sure to design the skirt of the dress as a modified A-line, knowing it was my favorite. Despite her pregnancy, she insisted on making me the dress. She gave me a flawless one. “Here you go.”Oriana placed the floral tiara on my head, making me smile. “You look gorgeous,” she beamed, gently hugging me from behind. “Thank you,” I grinned, placing my hands over hers.

    The moment I walked out of the Alpha’s house, I could hear the howls and fights that filled the area. “I'm free! I'm coming!” I told my pack through the link. I followed their scents, hoping that they were really winning just like Oriana told me. If my mate or any of my family got hurt, I was going to tear Crimson into pieces. “Hurry up, Luna,” Keith replied. Relief washed over me once I heard back from any of them. Thankful for the elastic clothes I changed into, I quickly turned into my wolf form and I dashed towards my family. “Are you safe?” I had to know. Please Moon Goddess, let them all be okay. When I received no reply, I raced towards their scent. Not them. Not my family. I waited for so long to have people like them. I wasn't ready to lose any of them. My heartbeats accelerated when I reached the battlefield. There was no time to be nervous or scared. I was going to defend each mem

    My wrists were on fire from the silver chains. I was lying down on the hard ground. I had been in this cell more than once, and each time, my blood used to run cold and I always thought I was going to die. Even though this was my first time to be chained with silver here, I wasn't afraid. I knew I was helpless and the silver was wearing me down, but I was certain help was on its way. Most of the time, they kept me sedated and I was barely given food. Oriana did her best to help me out which made me believe that she was innocent, yet part of me was still reluctant. She snuck food for me from time to time and she even stayed for hours with me, trying to keep me company even when I gave her a hard time. Neither my mate nor my family was going to leave me here. It was a matter of time. I was sure of that. I was hoping that Xander would act rationally. I didn’t hear him talk to me after the last time he did. I had been waiting for a while. I just needed to get out of here

    They had my mate and I needed to be fast. I was aware that by every minute, she was suffering one way or another. I wasn’t going to sit on my ass and feel her pain through the bond without doing anything.Almost six days passed over the last time I heard her sweet voice through the bond. I barely slept as I spent days and nights preparing my warriors for the attack. No words were sent to the council because they would do nothing but delay me.I intended to kill Oriana the moment I saw her. She betrayed Ayla even after she was forgiving enough to reconsider a relationship with her. Betrayal ran through her blood. She was a Crimson after all.“Xander, we received this almost ten minutes ago. A Crimson left it on our borders and left,” Keith told me, handing me a paper. We were all gathered at my house to put the final touches to our plan. We were going to retrieve Ayla. She was our Luna and we were ready to do anything to get her back.The

    She betrayed me. I was an idiot for trusting her. I thought there was a chance for us to be actual sisters, but I was wrong. She was a Crimson. Their venomous blood ran through her veins. Giving her a second chance cost me my freedom, but I was sure that he was coming for me. The whole pack would come for me.“Ayla, you have to believe me. I swear I knew nothing about this.” Crocodile tears rushed down Oriana’s face as she stood behind the bars separating us.“There’s no need to carry on with your act, Oriana. I fell for your words and here I am in the dungeons, but I can assure you that they will come for me. Silver Moon will rattle your temporary peace,” I spat, doing my best to ignore the burning sensation of the silver manacles against my bare wrists.“I didn’t know! I swear on my daughter’s life. I never wanted to hurt you,” she whimpered, but I ignored every word that escaped her lips. “It w

    Letting her meet Oriana on her own wasn’t a good choice, but she kept insisting that nothing bad would happen. I didn’t know how I believed that she would be safe. I should have sent somebody else with her. “Something bad must have happened to her! It’s been eight hours and she’s not answering her phone!” I hissed as I paced around the house. Keith was with me while Jorah and Declan were sweeping our borders with Crimson. She told me she wasn’t going to meet Oriana anywhere in their territory and they agreed to meet on a neutral land, but something didn’t feel right. She wasn’t even answering me through our mind-link. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. Without saying a word, I ran out of the house and Keith was right on my heels. Her car had GPS and it was connected to my phone and hers. I could easily track her car. I opened the GPS on my phone and drove to where it was. My demons whispered ill-thoughts in my head that I wanted to scream out

    “Okay, I really don't understand where you're taking me,” I told him as I took the bottle of juice out of the plastic bag. “You know, I'm kind of your mate. You don't need to worry about me killing you.” He chuckled. I removed the cap and gave it to him. “I know!” I exclaimed, laughing a little. “I just want to know where we're going.” “You'll find out in two hours or less,” he told me. “Fine.” I playfully rolled my eyes. Loana left a couple of days ago and yesterday, after returning from the airport, Xander surprised me and told me I needed to pack. I thought we would be going on a business trip, but it turned out to be a four-day getaway. Being the usual pain in the ass he was, he refused to tell me where he'd be taking me and no matter how many times or what I did to bribe him, he didn't give in. To give him some credit, he did tell me that we wouldn't be leaving the states. I reached for the AUX and connected it with my phone, deciding to
