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 was finally done with the Alpha training. I wanted to surprise Saoirse by arriving 2 weeks earlier. I didn't think I was going to be the surprised one. " What do you mean she left the pack?" Shane was trying to explain as I was trashing my dad's office. "She left two years ago just 2 weeks after you left." I grabbed him by the neck at 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 wolf or no wolf she was all I wanted? I was seething. My dad pulled me away from Shane. " You need to calm down, son. I was going to send for 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 when people learned she didn't get a wolf. Things at school were getting out of hand. The shewolves that had a
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 sure think 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 chided 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
Renzo POV: It was the next day early morning. I went to the kitchen for a coffee. Everyone else was still asleep, or so I thought. Saoirse was standing there by the window with a cup of coffee deep in contemplation. I slided my arms around her waist and inhaled her scent. I startled her for a moment, but then she smiled and sank into my embrace. If she had a wolf, she would've felt me coming. I'm still convinced she will get hers eventually. There is an aura about her, I could feel it "What are you thinking, little one?" She turned around, still in my arms, and exhaled. "I'm, I'm nervous, Renzo. I have no purpose in a pack. The she-wolves at school made sure to remind me how useless a wolfless person is in a werewolf community." I was going to kill those ignorant brats. "You're not useless. Please don't say that. You're my happiness and my sanity. You're all I need to keep me going. Without you, I would not have the head or the motivation to run that pack. Do you think t
Saoirse POV We were at the council's headquarters to hear their verdict. Mom was shaking, and her eyes were puffy for crying for too long. Dad had the decency to look ashamed as he was sitting next to the head of the council, Elder James. He was getting interrogated. I couldn't help but cry, too. Renzo tightened his hold on me while we listened in a room full of people. Council member Patrick was ruthless as he questioned my dad. "According to our investigations, Mr. Colin, you found your mate when you turned 18." My mother and I gasped at the same time. " Tell us what happened to her. Remember that you are under Alpha's command, and you can not lie." Father looked toward us, and he looked older, with dark circles under his eyes. I felt a pang in my heart, but then he spoke. "I rejected her." The whole room went into hushed whispers. The head of the Council, Elder James, had to silence them. "And why did you do such a thing if you may enlighten us?" By now, Dad looked desp
Renzo 21. Saoirse 17 Renzo POV: I will finally take over the pack in another month. Everything is prepared for the ceremony right after Saoirse's 18th birthday. That night, like always, we'll wait for 12am together, but this time, I will finally make her mine. It had gotten almost impossible to control myself. Lately, our makeout sessions have become steamier, and I know if I find myself alone with her one more time, I won't be able to stop. She had moved to the mansion a long time ago, and having her so close all the time was driving me crazy with need. Her scent was everywhere. Her tantalizing body called to me every time she was nearby, and her taste, Goddess, she tasted better than I had imagined, better than the sweetest nectar. What happened last night can not be repeated again, for now. It was late last night, and I was still working on some documents I needed for the pack's meeting next week. She entered my office with nothing but a white silky robe and a short baby doll. H
**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. Saorsia 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—the only ones still missing were my kids. "Blaze!! Renzo can't find the twins!" Aza cried out, and the frantic energy hung thick in the air. Liv and Aksel arrived with Saorsia's siblings, and I could feel the tension rising as Star whimpered, and Ronan rushed over, carrying an injured Aela. "Mom, are you alright?!" Saorsia exclaimed, her worry evident. "She tried to go back inside to search for Selene and Luna!" Ronan growled, his frust
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 regaly as she walked towards my office. Her daughter Aela and Ronan followed us as well. We entered inside my office, and she motioned us to sit down in the large sofas that were facing each other. There was a coffee table in between. Saorsia and I sat across Maeve. "I will start since 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, she was strong since the beginning. Aela was on bedrest 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 pr
Saorsia's POV 5 Years Later I stand in the doorway, waiting for Selene. She had spent the weekend at Renzo's Pack. The helicopter had just landed. Blaze and Luna went to get her in the jeep. Blaze treats Selene just the same as his own children. I could tell he loved her as if she were his own. I had a content smile watching the Jeep aproach. As soon as it came to a hault, Selene jumped from the car and ran towards me. "Mama, I missed you." said my intrepid 5 year old. I hugged her and kissed her juicy cheeks. "I missed you so much, too!" I said, pinching her cheek playfully. Her black and silver blond hair was braided into 2 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 came her twin Luna. Her red hair looked like it was on fire under the sun. "I missed you too, Mama!" She says, jumping onto my arms. Blaze laughed. He was carrying two bags with Selene's stuff. Every
Renzo's POV What is this savage witch talking about? My parents are fated mates. There is no way that what these two witches are claiming is the truth. But the hatred that contorted her face as she spat those words told me she was telling the truth. Though I wanted it to be wrong. "You're both lying!! What can you gain by slandering my father. Take it back!!" I growled. The witch whose life was already holding on by a threat spoke with difficulty. "What? Do you think your father was a saint? He knows about Dido, but I hid her all of her life from him, and that guilt has been gnawing at him for years. He cheated on his new fated mate with me, and Dido was the result of his indiscretion." She cackled. "You too have a thing for a little witch as well. The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree." She twisted her mouth into an evil smile. "That's why I targeted you since the beginning. That's why I cursed you to be obsessed with Saorsia and cause you to favor her over your fated
Saorsia "Don't worry about that now, Pietr. What matters is that you are fine and out of danger." I said to him, trying that my voice wouldn't break. Dido glared daggers at me. "Aren't you going to tell him? Tell him his mine now!" I wanted to break her neck for her tactless audacity. Her face was angelic, but right now, it was contorted with fury. "Dido , this is not the time." I said calmly. "If it's not now, then when? I am tired of nobody wanting me. I am tired of being alone and unwanted." Pietr's eyes softened when he saw the pitiful teenage girl's teary eyes. He was feeling her pain. The witch-guard bond had snapped in place. He looked at me with horror. I nodded, and he understood. He was no longer mine. "Why?" His voice came out as a whisper with his eyes full of hurt. "She saved your life, and now you belong to her." My bottom lip wobbled. Not being able to hold my tears any longer, I stormed out. Blaze sensed my pain, and he was already waiting outside the doo
Saorsia. "Pietr! How?! How did they know we were here?!" I yelled. This was supposed to be a secret place. I touched pietr's wounded shoulder. Goddess Hecate! "The wound is too close to the heart." My dad and the twins start working their magic on him, but nothing happens. He is turning pale, and his lips turn blue. "They're using a rare poisonous herb. I know the antidote." Dido speaks. I turned to look at her with contempt. My eyes are blurry with tears. My most loyal companion is dying, and there's nothing I can do about it. Except accept the demands this witch throws at me. "Speak then, what do you want?" I seethed. "Saorsia, we can't trust her!" Blaze says worriedly. He shoots Dido, a threatening glare. He despises her for what she did to him. "What do you have to lose? He is dying, and none of you know the antidote, except me." Dido says, in a way, as if she was talking about the weather. She studies her nails without a care. "The boy will die if we don't act fast!"
