Saoirse's POV A guttural scream escaped my throat. Grandma lay on the floor, blood pooling around her, her unsettling smile contradicting the horror of what was happening. I glanced over at Vlad, anticipating what would unfold next. My children, Aksel and Liv, focused their energy, projecting a brilliant light through Vlad's back and chest. I could feel the tension building; he was losing strength, and I knew it. Dido stood resolutely beside Selene and Luna, ready for whatever threat might come. Pietr did the same. "He’s dying," Renzo said, satisfaction evident in his voice. Vlad's black eyes looked empty. He was in agony. Grandma's sacrifice would not be in vain. I focused my energy as my children did and projected a powerful light that pierced through Vlad's skin. His shrieks were terrifying. He was gone, as far as I could tell. I turned to see my grandma. She was gone, too. I felt my heart squeezing. I fell to my knees beside Grandma, and Blaze was instantly beside me. "Saoirs
Azalea's POV I woke up in Renzo's arms and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. We were late. Renzo and I had made love until dawn last night. As I moved slightly, I felt his morning wood pressing against my thigh. "Renzo, we're late. Your sister is getting married in a few hours," I said. He grunted in response, but instead of releasing me, he pulled me closer and kissed me on my mate mark. A wave of delicious sparks travels through my body. It goes without saying what happened next. Renzo was the most passionate lover. I bite my lip to avoid screaming with pleasure as he pounds inside me. Renzo carried me to the bathroom after we were finished. Last night, he was feeling a bit sentimental. Over the past few years, he and his father have tried to make amends for Dido's struggles for most of her life. She became the little princess of the pack. She will come to live in my brother's pack. I will miss her too; she adores my children, and they do too. She has a very mischiev
Blaze's POV *A Few Months Later* "When I find my mate, I will have a grand wedding like Aunty Dido," Selene declares confidently. "My wedding will be even more spectacular than yours!" Luna counters. All those big words that they can barely pronounce came from Elda. There is no doubt about it. "I'm sorry to break it to you girls, but you won't get married until you're at least thirty." They both gasp and clasp their hands to their cheeks in shock. "Blaze," Saoirse calls me, and I immediately want to go there. Although she whispered, her voice carried all the way to me, thanks to her powers. "Okay, girls, your mama is calling me. Let's go back inside." They run ahead, giggling. Luna's copper hair shines in the sunlight, just like her mother's. Selene's hair is silver blonde. After Vlad died, her black side turned silver, too. Only her eyes remained, one black and one blue. When I reached Saoirse, the girls were already inside. Saoirse was waiting for me by the entrance. Her
Renzo 12. Saoirse 8 Renzo's POV: Saoirse got out of the car and quickly clasped her mother's hand. Her long red hair blew in the wind, and while her parents talked to me, she stared at me. It took me a few moments to look away from that mesmerizing hair, which seemed to glow under the strong sun's rays. But when I did, my mouth almost dropped open when I saw her big, gorgeous eyes. They were framed by perfectly arched eyebrows and long, thick lashes. And their color! I had never seen eyes like that before—one was emerald green, and the other was half brown and half green. I knew I had read about that eye condition, but seeing it in person was something else. My mom, Luna Helen, gently touched my shoulder. "Why don't you go and show Saoirse around, honey, while your dad and I show Healer Colin and Healer Aela their new home and the hospital?" I nodded and stretched out my hand to the little girl. Her porcelain white skin was slightly pink from the sun. She took my hand with her de
Renzo 18. Saoirse 14 Renzo POV: To say my little Saoirse was blooming into a beautiful woman was an understatement. That girl was favored by the Goddess, unashamedly. At her age, most girls had embarrassing pimples to worry about or tight lip smiles to hide painful braces. My Saoirse was perfect, and one day, she will be my mate. Tomorrow will be her 14 birthday, the age when most teenagers get our wolves. I still remember when I got my wolf, Blaze, 4 years ago. Saoirse loved him at first sight. 4 years ago Saoirse was in awe of Blaze. Blaze was a huge silver wolf with a blue sheen around its fur. He stood proudly while she caressed its fur. "You're beautiful, Blaze. You and Renzo will be the best Alphas in the world once Alpha Lorenzo makes him Alpha of the pack." From then on, we became inseparable. I would take her for a run on my back around the forest, and she would hold tightly to my neck. She would do her homework by the lake and take long naps cuddling next to Bla
All the joy that I felt at his declaration was indescribable. "You want me to be your Luna Renzo?" I repeated, still incredulous. Renzo was so handsome. He was so tall, more than six feet tall, ripped with muscles, and a mischievous smirk that always melted my heart. "Of course, I will make you my Luna. Can there be anyone else?" "What about your fated mate? You will surely cast me aside once you find her. I've seen how the mate bond makes a fool of all those mated couples around here. Didn't you see how Larissa Clinton abandoned Trevor Smith after five years of living together as soon as she found her mate?" Renzo gave me a stern look. And hold me by my shoulders. He looked at me seriously, his eyes flashed with a torrent of emotions. " Little one, don't you know that we're end game? Don't you know that I chose you the first time I laid eyes on you? Fated or not, you're mine, and if I ever find my supposed mate and it's not you, I will reject her right then and there.
Renzo 20. Saoirse 16 Renzo POV: I had finally completed the Alpha training and was excited to surprise Saoirse by arriving two weeks earlier than planned. However, I ended up being the one who was surprised. “What do you mean she left the pack?” I asked incredulously. Shane was attempting to explain while I paced my dad's office in frustration. “She left two years ago, just two weeks after you left,” he replied. I grabbed him by the neck when I heard that revelation. He had assured me all these years that she was safe. She didn’t email me as promised, but Shane told me it was because she was embarrassed about not having a wolf. Didn’t she know that she was all I wanted, wolf or no wolf? I was seething with anger. My dad pulled me away from Shane. “You need to calm down, son. I was going to send the message to her before you came back. She asked for permission to leave two years ago because it had become unbearable for her here. She was tired of the looks of pity from people
Saoirse POV: I got up to open the door. I already knew who was at the door; Ronan. My mother's fated name. He took it upon himself to take care of my grandma after mom left. I had learned the truth of what happened to them back then, and I was both guilty and sad. I opened the door, and there he was. All six-foot fall, clad in a blue flannel shirt and jeans. His brown hair was uncombed, and his hazel eyes looked hopeful. "Hi Ronan, come in. Grandma baked the scones you like?" Ronan kissed my cheek, and I heard a dangerous snarl. "Not on my table, young man." Grandma snapped at Renzo, and Shane laughed. "It's all right, Renzo, this is Ronan. My mom's fated mate." Shane spat the coffee he was drinking, and Renzo shook his head, confused. "Say what?" They both said at the same time. "Is a long story. But he has been taking care of grandma since we left for the USA." "Now, now. I don't need anybody to take care of me. Especially this boy. He is lucky I tolerate him enoug

**Blaze's POV** I stood at the edge of chaos, my heart pounding as flames licked the sides of the mansion, casting flickering shadows around us. Saoirse and the other witches were poised and ready, chanting incantations, their voices blending into a harmonious urgency to extinguish the raging fire. Just then, Azalia appeared, her hair wild and one arm cradling a frightened Ireland. Close behind her, I spotted Andrew, Layla, and their children, Leah and Brandon, alongside Shane and Hanna with their own little ones. Yet, an unease drummed in my chest—my kids were the only ones still missing. "Blaze!! Renzo can't find the twins!" Aza cried out, and the frantic energy hung thick in the air. Liv and Aksel arrived with Saoirse's siblings, and I could feel the tension rising as Star whimpered and Ronan rushed over, carrying an injured Aela. "Mom, are you alright?!" Saorsie exclaimed, her worry evident. "She tried to go back inside to search for Selene and Luna!" Ronan growled, his fru
Saorsia's POV A bright white light engulfed us all of a sudden, I was no longer in the forest. I was in the most beautiful garden in existence. There was a cherry blossom tree blooming with pink flowers. White marble floors and floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded the beautiful garden. Under the tree, there was a white bench. I noticed a beautiful woman sitting on it. "Saorsia, finally my child." She said with a bright smile. Her white platinum hair cascaded down her back, touching the seat of the bench. She was wearing a silk dress, the color of gold. It was toga style it matched the crown that surrounded her forehead. "Se...Selene?" I stuttered. She nodded, and I quickly deepened my head down, vowing with respect. She smiled and touched the empty seat next to her, signaling me to sit down with her. I obliged. Just then, a beautiful wolf approached us. It was white with light blue eyes. "This is rain, your wolf." She said. The beautiful wolf nuzzled my hand as tears prick
Blaze's POV The night of the full moon finally came. Grandma Maeve took Saorsia and the rest of us to the middle of the forest. Pietr, Andrew, Saorsia's mother, and Ronan came. Our twins, Liv and Aksel, were here as well, and lastly, Healer Colin arrived as he was also part of the ceremony. We were all dressed in white for the ritual ceremony. Saorsia's ceremonial robe was stunning. It was incrusted with thousands of diamonds. Tonight was her rebirth. Her long white cape flew softly against the wind. Her porcelain skin was glowing under the moonlight. She looked at me and smiled with those sinfully rosy lips. I was as excited as she was, or even more. "We're gathered here to do the Goddess Selene's bidding. She has claimed another daughter since birth, and it is time that the Goddess bestows her gift on her. My chest tightened with indescribable emotions. My Luna will finally get her wolf. "Tonight, Saorsia, you, daughter of Hecate and daughter of Selene, will experience your
Saorsia's POV The party was at its peak. The garden was bustling with guests. We hired staff to tend to the guests so we could be able to focus only on the children. Blaze and Renzo were doting on the girls. They organized the games and made sure that everyone had fun. Luna and Selene were squealing with glee. At least when they weren't fighting over little alpha Jupiter's attention. I chuckled. Lynne and Lake were so big now. I look at my own children, Liv and Aksel. They should have been the same age as Lynne and Lake, but they were pushed to grow beyond their years. I felt sad just thinking about it. "Hey, why the sad face?" Blaze came out of nowhere. Wolf's speed was something else. "I can't wait to get my wolf," I said with a smile. "I was just looking at the children and thought that our firstborn children never really enjoyed their childhood." Blaze kissed my temple as we looked at the children's play. Shane and Hanna's kids; Sean and Milly, were here, as well as Leyl
Blaze's POV Saorsia's grandmother wanted to talk to us in private. Maeve carried herself regally as she walked towards my office. Her daughters Aela and Ronan followed us as well. We entered my office, and she motioned us to sit down on the large sofas that were facing each other. There was a coffee table in between. Saorsia and I sat across Maeve. "I will start from the beginning. It will be easier to understand." She said with a tired sigh. I put my hand on Saorsia's knee. She was as intrigued as I was. "When Aela was pregnant, she had a difficult pregnancy. A child that is not conceived with a fated mate rarely lives to see a full-term pregnancy, but Saorsia was strong since the beginning. Aela was on bed rest for almost all of her pregnancy. It really helped that Collin was a healer. If not, I'm not sure what could have happened. I prayed to the Goddess Hecate to spare my daughter and my granddaughter countless times, but it was the Goddess Selene who answered my prayers
. **Saorsia's POV** 5 Years Later I stand in the doorway, waiting for Selene. She had spent the weekend at Renzo's Pack, and the helicopter had just landed. Blaze and Luna went to pick her up in the jeep. Blaze treats Selene just like his own children; I could tell he loved her as if she were his own. I wore a content smile as I watched the jeep approach. As soon as it came to a halt, Selene jumped out of the car and ran toward me. "Mama, I missed you!" my adventurous five-year-old exclaimed. I hugged her tightly and planted kisses on her chubby cheeks. "I missed you so much too!" I replied, playfully pinching her cheek. Her black and silver-blond hair was braided into two loose braids—the work of Azalea, I recognized. She loves my daughter as well. What’s in the past stays in the past; we’re a big family now. Trailing behind Selene came her twin, Luna, whose red hair looked like it was on fire under the sun. "I missed you too, Mama!" she said, jumping into my arms. Blaze laug
