Alister’s POV

As they settled inside the house, Alister guided Wilson to the living area while Luciana excused herself to the kitchen.

The atmosphere was filled with laughter as Wilson engaged with the boys. Suddenly, he raised his head and inquired, "Where's Elijah?"

Ophelia scoffed playfully, "Oh, I've already sent someone to find him. He'll be in for a big surprise," she shared with a mischievous smile.

Wilson nodded in understanding, eagerly awaiting Elijah's arrival. However, before he could dwell on it further, Omar blurted out a question that had been on his mind, "If you're an Elder, does that mean you'll take me to the council?"

Wilson's expression softened as he turned his attention to Omar. "Have you seen yourself at the council?" he asked, seeking to understand the source of Omar's curiosity.

Alister held his breath, anxious to hear Wilson's response. During their previous conversation, Wilson had mentioned that he would assess the boys during his visit to determine the b

    ~ Luciana's POV~Luciana couldn't help but listen in on the conversation between Alister and Elijah. Her heart raced as she heard Elijah mention that the mails had been sent to her. Panic surged through her, and she didn't know what to do next. Should she return the letter to Alister, even though it was already too late for them to attend the mating ceremony? Or should she keep it hidden, afraid that Alister might stumble upon it in her closet? There was also the possibility that he would question her about why she had the letter, and lying would only make things worse. As she played out different scenarios in her mind, none of them seemed to offer a solution without making the situation worse. She let out a sigh of frustration just as she heard the front door open. Time was running out, and she needed to figure out what to do with the letter. Maybe she should hide it more securely or even destroy it altogether. Finding the letter in her possession would only lead to trouble. Dete

    ~ Alister's POV~Something was definitely off with Luciana. Alister couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he could tell she wasn't okay. She was trying to hide her anxiety, but he could see through her facade. The way she had been acting, the sweat on her brow when they were in their room—it all raised red flags in his mind. He let out a sigh, concerned for his mate's well-being.For now, he decided to give her some space to sort things out. But if this continued, he knew he would have to step in and help. He couldn't bear to see her panicking and feeling distressed every time he moved. They were a team, and he wanted to support her through whatever challenges they faced.As Alister left the house, he received a text message from Elijah. It was a request to meet at the front office. He hopped into his Jeep, deciding to drive instead of walk. The front office was within a short distance, but he had a lot on his mind and wanted to clear his thoughts during the drive.When he arrived

    ~ Alister’s POV~Alister watched his friend's departure, a sinking feeling in his gut. In that moment, he couldn't help but suspect that Luciana knew something about the missing letter. Why would she choose to lie about it though? Thoughts swirled in his mind as he pondered the situation.Alister had a whirlwind of questions racing through his mind, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions and potentially hurt Luciana. What if she genuinely didn't know anything about the missing letter? He trusted her, right?Luciana's behavior had been off, and it was clouding Alister's judgment. With a sigh, he retrieved his keys and stepped out of the car. This was becoming another strange occurrence that defied explanation. At this point, the best course of action was to contact Alpha Reed and offer his apologies for the misunderstanding. Alister stared at the phone on his desk for a good forty minutes before he summoned the courage to tap the call button next to Reed’s name.Alister never imag

    ~ Elijah’s POV~In the morning, Elijah entered his office without paying much attention. He had hardly slept the night before, managing to get only two hours of rest. Despite feeling tired, he had to start another day of work. He let out a sigh as he shut the door to his office and noticed a large pile of papers on his desk. It seemed like Alister had left them there the night before because there was no way the Alpha had come in earlier that morning. However, what Elijah didn't notice at first was a young boy sitting on his chair, fast asleep. He looked puzzled and scanned the room to see if there was some kind of surprise or explanation for why Omar was there, but he couldn't find anything. There was nothing that could account for why the boy was in his office that morning.Elijah's confusion deepened as he closed his door, eyeing the young boy who had taken up residence in his office. The child appeared to be peacefully asleep, completely unaware of the chaos he had caused by

    Elijah's POVThe words etched on the front revealed that it was an invitation to the mating ceremony hosted by Alpha Reed of the Blue Moon Pack.An invitation that they should have honor irrespective of the kind of jerk Alpha Reed was. A letter that shouldn't even be in Omar's possession in the first place.Confusion washed over Elijah as he blinked, desperately trying to make sense of the situation unfolding before him. He and Alister had spent countless hours searching for this very letter, even going to the front office for it, but their efforts had been in vain. Eventually, they had surrendered and made the tough decision to reach out to Alpha Reed and apologize for their failure which the jerk was really taking advantage of.A flicker of realization flashed through Elijah's mind. He had had a feeling from the moment the front desk woman had mentioned that eleven letters had been sent to the office, but only ten had been handed over to him. That missing letter had gnawed at hi

It wasn't like she had worked too hard the day before, but she felt worried that someone might discover the letter exposing her difficult and ugly past. She feared that Alister might already have the letter in his possession, which would be the worst thing ever. How the hell was she supposed to explain the letter in her possession.Looking at the man sleeping next to her, she noticed him snoring gently. She shook her head, realizing that he seemed tired too, and he could sense that something was bothering her. The tension was building up inside her.Trying not to disturb him, Luciana got out of bed and quietly left the room. As she walked down the hallway, she stopped by her children's room to wake them up. They had an appointment with Wilson that morning, so she needed them to get ready.Luciana hoped with all her heart that everything would turn out well. She couldn't even imagine what she would do if Alister felt their specia

Keita, in particular, was filled with excitement to finally leave the house and go somewhere. Luciana had made a decision to keep Keita at home after his special abilities started to show.Instead of sending him to school where he could potentially cause some trouble both for himself and other kids, she chose to homeschool him.Alister had told her to keep everything a secret for now. It wouldn't be good if the rest of the pack found out about Keita's abilities. Rumors and gossip spread quickly, and it was possible that other werewolves or packs might come searching for Keita. Luciana knew that even the council, the authority figure of their kind, could unexpectedly arrive at their doorstep the very next day if they learned about Keita's powers. It was a risky situation that had to be handled with caution.Ophelia's house was conveniently

In her condition, she wasn’t supposed to be there but she was as stubborn as him. “Do you think she’s looking down on us and regretting what she did?" Luciana mumbled. Alister sighed; he knew that Ophelia regretted what she did and that was why she had killed herself, but he didn't know whether she had found peace in the afterlife. “I hope she found peace after all”, he mumbled. “ I miss her…the kids too” Luciana said. Alister nodded. He wouldn’t admit it, but he also missed her. He had forgiven her for what she did and would have loved it if Ophelia knew that she was forgiven. They stayed that way for a while before someone cleared their throat behind them. He knew who it was even before he turned to face the person.

If Helster’s wolf wasn’t on the battlefield, then where was he?A rogue charged at him, and he pounced on the wolf, tearing its spine away from its body and killing it instantly. The more Rogues they fight and kill, the more additional Rogues charge out of the woods.He saw Elijah finishing off another rogue, and his mind linked to him.“Helster is not here; why?”Elijah turned around and shifted into his human form. He ran back to where Alister was standing, already shifted into his human form.“I wouldn't want to believe that he’s hiding." Alister said.Elijah shook his head and said, “He wants the pack; he’s not hiding. I think he wants to sneak into the pack from another border. Catch us unawares." he said.Just then, as Alister wanted to respond, Peter’s

She felt relieved that things were indeed working in their favor.Luciana shifted in her chair. She was waiting for their case to be called, like every other person who was there. She looked around, trying to see if Alpha Reed was already there, but she didn’t see him.Maybe it was a good thing that they would meet inside and not out in the open, she didn't know if she could control herself if she saw him out there in the open.“Black Velvet Pack!" a werewolf standing by the door called.She saw an Alpha stand up and walk into the room where the hearing was being held.

    Alister’s POVIt was hard. Knowing that his mate was somewhere in the council, doing what he was supposed to be doing, was hard. It had been hard letting her go, and even now, he had to restrict himself from entering a car and driving to the council." Daddy… I want to pee." Keita said, tapping his leg.Alister rolled his eyes, looking down at the boy. “You just did that like five minutes ago”, he mumbled.Keita frowned. “I know, but I still want to go. Mom would be upset if I peed on myself,” he said, pouting his lips.Alister shook his head. Either Keita was missing his mother and didn’t know how to communicate his feelings, or he was trying to be difficult and frustrate him. He suspected it was both.“Fine, let’s go”, he said, picking Keita up. The moment he moved to leave, Omar jumped up from the chair and followed them. Alister sighed. It was going to be hard trying to pull Omar away from him when the time came to defend the pack, and Luciana was not yet back.Thankfully, the re

He still had time before the hearing, so he decided to pay a visit to Veronica, his mother.Her office was not far from the academy. He climbed the stairs and walked down the hallway until he got to her door.He knocked twice and waited for her response before pushing the door open and entering the small office. His mother was sitting behind her desk, and she looked like she had never aged since he last saw her.Veronica lifted her head and the surprise on her face was obvious. He didn't blame her for being shocked at him standing in her office; he too would be shocked if he were in her position.Growing up, they never had the best mother-son relationship. She was more like a figure who was just there beside his father. He hated her for that—for not loving him like every other mother loved their children.She pulled the glasses off her fac

She could hear the different voices gathered in her living room to bid her goodbye.She sighed and dragged her luggage out of the room, walking down the stairs.“Oh Lucia." Ophelia mumbled, coming up to her to envelope her in a huge hug. Luciana buried herself in the hug.It wasn’t that she was going away from the council for long. Hell, she was just going to be gone for two or three days, so she didn't understand why they were all acting like she was going to be gone for a year.“Take care of yourself and my boys,” she muttered close to Ophelia’s ears.Ophelia nodded her head and released her. “I will. Stay safe,” she said, taking the luggage from Luciana and carrying it outside towards the waiting car.Alister was the next one to come up to her. He was holding Omar, who had refused to let him go and was clinging to him.“You can

    Reed’s POVReed was restless. That was the only word sufficient to describe his state of mind and how he was feeling right now. He hated when things were not within his control.He sighed, dragging his fingers through his hair for the umpteenth time as he paced in front of his desk. A few more days and he would get his heart's desire—the land he had desired for years—and even though it was now within reach, he hated the fact that it was not within his control.Helster was coordinating everything, and the rogue Alpha had warned him to stay put until he gave the command.He checked the time, and as if in sync, someone knocked on his door. He took a deep breath and waited.“ Come in," he answered.The door opened, and a man entered his office, closing the door behind him. Just the person he had been waiting for.“You're late…" Reed fired.The man sighed. “I'm sorry, Alpha, it took a great deal of trying to navigate my way to your pack and to avoid being noticed,” he replied.Reed rolled

Even though there was a possibility that Alister must have told Elijah about Alpha Reed, she didn’t think he would tell Elijah about Keita’s real father too.Elijah shook his head and said, “I deduced it myself. Don’t think Alister told me. The day Alpha Reed visited the pack, on his way out, he bumped into Keita,” he said.Luciana felt her heart race as her breath hitched. What? Alpha Reed had met Keita. No one told her that. She felt angry that she had not been there to protect Keita from the Alpha.A different kind of fear enveloped her as she thought of Alpha Reed discovering Keita's true identity. He wouldn’t have noticed that Keita was his son, right? She looked at Elijah, noticing now that her eyes were blurry.“He didn't...” she started to ask, but Elijah reassured her by shaking his head."no, I didn't let him touch Keita. However, he noticed how their scents were familiar. Everything started to make sense then. why you would hide the lett
