Renzo POV: The night of Saoirse's birthday arrived sooner than expected. The days flew by between my responsibilities with the pack and being balls deep inside Saoirse the rest of the time. Today, I have cleared my schedule just for her. She was wearing an elegant off-the-shoulder shirt that gave me quite a view of her breasts. A thin belt enmarked her tiny waist, and a silky white skirt flowed above her knees. She looked exquisite and elegant, like a Luna. It's the only Luna I'd ever want. "Ready Little One?" "Where are we going?" I kissed her hand while I guided her to the car. "Is a surprise, angel." It was a 15-minute drive to the new mansion. Initially, I was going to take her to the city to a fancy restaurant, but Shane informed me that other packs, the Elders and my Luna too, had arrived yesterday and were staying in hotels. My Alpha ceremony was tomorrow, and I won't be able to share that momentous occasion with the love of my life. I parked near the entrance and h
Renzo POV: I had barely slept last night, and I definitely wasn't in the mood to deal with my in-laws and my unwanted mate. My wolf feels sorry for Fay, and in a way, I feel sorry for Azalea, too. The mate bond is a curse. I found them having breakfast with my parents chatting amicably. As soon as Azalea sees me, her face lights up, and I feel like a scumb. My friend Blaze doesn't look as happy to see me. "Son, you're back. I'm sorry I sent you to our branch upstate. If I had known your mate was coming earlier, I would have gone in your stead." I approached Azalea and kissed her hand. Damn these sparks. They purposely sat her on my left side, too. She kept looking at me adoringly. I gave her a tight smile "I wasn't expecting you yesterday. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you came." "It was my fault, Renzo. When my sister told me she was staying at a hotel alone, I drove earlier to be with her. I thought she would be staying here in your pack and not in a strange city by hers
Saoirse POV: I woke up in an unfamiliar place. Renzo was not in bed. There was no sign of him. I got up with a wince. He was kind of rough last night. I saw the shirt he was wearing last night. I put it on and got out of the bedroom. This was a penthouse. There was a kitchen equipped with everything. My mouth was dried. I opened the fridge looking for water and the fridge was well stocked. It had all the things that I like to eat. I drank some apple juice before I kept exploring. This place had no windows at all. Further down, there's a gym, a theater room, and a big living room. A small library filled with romance novels and encyclopedias. I searched for my phone unsuccessfully. I started to panic again. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach when I couldn't find it. I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. There was a code box on the side. I tried several combinations with no luck. This is the safety room, and I'm trapped inside. I went back to the bedroom and I found a
Renzo POV It was past 12 PM. when I woke up the next day with my woman in my arms. I kissed her softly before heading to the shower to take care of my painful erection. My desire for her was unquenchable. Saoirse didn't want to hurt Azalea if we had sex, so here I was, dealing with it myself. Even though Saoirse did not have a wolf, the chances of anything happening were minimal. I also hadn’t marked Azalea yet. Last night, when Azalea kissed me, everything felt so wrong. The sparkles that invaded my body got mixed with the sudden guilt I felt from kissing another woman. It almost gave me a panic attack. It was as if my body wanted to pull her closer while my subconscious wanted to physically push her away. I grabbed her by the shoulders to maintain some distance and suggested having a run with some of my warriors and my Betas for safety reasons. It would give our wolves a chance to meet each other. Blaze couldn’t deny that he liked it. Wolves are more primal and are more affected by
AArmea's POV I dragged my mate by his arm. I couldn't help but hug it tightly and lean on him. He was devastatingly handsome and muscular. I looked up at him as we walked along the corridor. "Alpha Renzo." I heard someone with a foreign accent calling him. It was a tall man with light blond hair. He looked aged beyond his years, and his face was contorted like he was in a constant state of pain. "May I help you, Healer Colin?" Oh, this was the infamous healer who stole the mate of another. Uncle Patrick wouldn't shut up about it for weeks. This case helped the council cement the Fated Mate laws in the werewolf community. "A word if you can, please." Although he sounded polite, his voice was resentful. I got curious as to what he had to say. Renzo pinched my chin, and delicious sparks went through my body. "Why don't you go ahead, Azalea? I'll be there in a minute. Prepare your list of questions." He winked at me, and I swooned. I turned around the corner of the hallw
Renzo POV: It was late at night when I finally came back. I saw light inside the mansion and I ran inside. Shane and Hanna had gone with me, and Saoirse had been alone the whole day. I felt a void in my stomach as I ran. I was brought to a halt when I saw Azalea cross-legged on a sofa, reading a magazine. Her face lit up when she saw me. "Surprise!!" "What is the meaning of this?" I said, waving my hands to my sides. "Don't you like it? I moved! It's time we start leaving like a couple. I'm sorry I threw you out of my bed. I know you're very busy, and I act like a child. Like you said, we all have a past. But don't you think it is time for us to mark each other and complete the mate bond... intimately? She ran a finger through my chest, and I fought the rush of pleasure I felt at her touch, cursed mate bond. I grabbed her hand and kissed it before dropping it like it was a bomb. "I was giving you time to acclimate to your new life. Forgive me if I have been distant."
Azalea POV: Today, I woke up between my mate's arms. My wolf and I were on cloud nine. I moved closer to him, and I felt his morning wood, making me gasp. Goddess, he was huge. I moved my hand to touch it, but he grabbed me by the wrist, and he kissed my hand. "Good morning, Aza." He kissed my forehead and jumped out of bed. "I'll go shower at my office while you get ready too. Let's have breakfast together before I bury myself with pack work." "Sure," I said, sounding more hurt than I wanted to let show. I went downstairs almost an hour later. It took a while, making me pretty for him. I just don't know why he won't touch me. I'm on the verge of frustration here, and I don't want to appear too needy by asking him directly. The short summer dress I was wearing with high heels should do the trick. I fixed my hair in waves and left it open. It reached halfway down my back. I also applied a little makeup and some lip gloss, trying to look inviting to him. He came downstairs alm
Saoirse's POV: I had just showered and put on a towel around my body when I heard noises by the door. Renzo had left about 20 minutes ago. We had been just making out like two horny teenagers, but we didn't take it further. I still won't allow penetration until he fixes this situation. The door swung open, and a very disheveled Renzo appeared, closing the door behind him. His eyes flashed when he saw me, and I was rooted on the spot. His gaze ran through my body, and his eyes turned clouded with desire. He looked wild, enthralled. With one swift movement, he removed my towel and embraced me, kissing me passionately. My legs turned to goo. He started fondling my body while kissing me with an alarming urgency. I tried to break up the embrace with no luck as I squirmed between his muscular arms. "Renzo, what's going on? You're scaring me." "Call me Alpha, Little One." He said feverishly, between kisses and squeezes. "A...alpha. I don't understand. Weren't you just here and...
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
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
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
**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
