Jackson’s POV

Poppy and the others who were injured during the attack were quickly moved to the infirmary whilst I gathered my council to make a plan. It was hard determining our next move and I hated when things like this were difficult because the lives of everyone in this pack were my responsibility.

Christian, despite being injured, joined the meeting. He was not going to let ‘a few cuts and bruises’ keep him from doing his duties. As an alpha, I admired that about him, but as his friend, I thought he was a fucking idiot.

“How did they get past our borders?” I growled and looked at the wolf who had taken over for Abel whilst he was being held in the dungeon, Becca.

Becca had the courage not to look scared as she addressed me, “I’m sorry, Alpha, we don’t know. Their scents and movements were undetectable, even to myself. My warriors were kept on a strict routine because of the celebration. It was like they knew our moves and were able to hide their own.”

I looked at Clarissa, “Is

    Elise’s POVI tried to keep count of the time I was left down here with Derek. The most time I counted before I lost track because of Derek’s moaning and groaning was thirteen minutes and twenty-four seconds. The cold didn’t help as my skin covered itself with goosebumps and I shivered and my mind splintered between trying to count and think of ways to remain warm. I was half tempted to curl up like Derek and stare into nothingness too, but that would feel like I was giving up. I owed Derek more than that, I owed my family more than that. Fuck it, I owed myself more than that!So after feeling sorry for myself, I stood, feeling like that was the only bit of power I had left.“Hello?” I called out, wondering if anyone else from the cells would respond to me.If they did and were brave enough, maybe we could find a way to fight through this torment and get out of this together. “Hello?” I tried again, hearing only pained moans in response. Except for one voice.“It’s no use, their spir

    Elise's POVHe dragged me into an infirmary-type room and plonked me on one of the beds. It was a small, thin bit of metal with a paper-thin mattress so worn and stained with blood and sweat and something else that I didn't want to think about. I could see the springs like they were veins on the skin. The springs dug against my body and I looked up at Fredrick in horror.What was he planning on doing to me here? It looked worse than the dungeon like a torture chamber made only so that Fredrick could patch his victims up and start all over again.I watched him carefully as he roamed around the room, and Melanie came closer and closer. Her fingertips glowed a cold blueish light as she smiled, her sadistic expression mirroring Fredrick’s as she stood in front of the bed.“Who’s protecting you, Elsie?” She asked darkly, the light in her hand beginning to fizzle and crack with each passing second.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I mumbled stiffly, knowing there was nowhere left

    Jackson’s POVWhilst the others were patrolling and caring for the injured, I gave Christian my title as an Alpha until I returned, if I returned… It wasn’t an easy decision to make, giving over that power, but I trusted Christian to do well with the job and it wasn’t much of a choice. Elise needed me and I wasn’t going to let her down, not when I already did.Christian had been by my side since we were children and when I became Alpha, I gave him the title of Beta. A Beta was someone an alpha could trust with everything and anything, and that's exactly what I was doing. I expected Christian to argue a bit, and insist I couldn't go, but he gave me a concerned look and nodded gravely."Get her back, Alpha. I'll hold down the fort but you better come back too."That night by the graves I should’ve held onto her, I never should’ve walked away. I should’ve taken her by the hand and asked her to come back with me so that I could make sure that she was alright and so that we could figure ou

    Elise’s POVTrue to their word, they didn’t offer me any pain relief during their so-called ‘operation’. There was nothing to numb the pain or distract me as Melanie sliced into my back, searching for the last damned piece of silver.Many times I tried to get out of those restraints that held me, face down against the bed, but the second I would make a movement for one of the scalpels or even to break my own wrist to try to free myself, Marcus was there with his sadistic glance, smiling with a fearsome, toothy smile before knocking my head against the bedframe making me go dizzy.They wouldn’t let me pass out either, any time I looked like my eyes would flutter shut and give me some relief from my pain, they would splash me with icy water and do whatever they could to keep me awake and conscious.“I’m not done yet,” Melanie taunted in her soft, motherly voice, like she was a mother consoling a child, “Keep still before I hurt you more.”She sliced near the bone in my shoulder and I bi

    By the time Melanie and Marcus returned, everything was numb, I could barely see ahead of me or feel my body. It was like I was looking through the eyes of someone else. Poppy had done a number on me, partly out of revenge, partly out of some sadistic streak she'd kept hidden and locked away in the Full Moon pack.“What have you done?” Marcus asked aghast as he looked at me, but I could barely hear him through the light ringing splitting through my skull.The fact that even Marcus was concerned made me smile slightly, at least that’s what I thought I was doing. The three of them were going to be absolutely fucked when Fredrick saw how far they let Poppy take her revenge. “She’s still alive, isn’t she?” Poppy shrugged as she used a cloth to clean her hands, the white material immediately turning bloody red.“Yes but-”“But what? As soon as that last piece of Blessed Silver is out of her body her wolf will heal her.”Marcus and Melanie stood silently, looking at the carnage Poppy had i

    At first, I thought I was dead, for real this time considering what had just happened. I was floating around in a sea of nothingness when my eyes cracked open and I thought “Well, this must be death”, so I closed my eyes again as if I were going to sleep.Some people say that their lives flash before their eyes right before death, but mine didn't. Mine flashed by like a whirlwind the second I entered whatever world this was. Memories of my family, of my escape, of Jackson and the rest of the friends and loved ones I had.I never had a chance in the world of the living, I'd barely lived.It didn’t feel so bad, being in this weightless world. Everything was peaceful. Nothing hurt, nothing scared me. Maybe death was a good thing, maybe it should’ve happened a long time ago. If I’d have died long ago maybe none of this would’ve ever happened. My family would be alive, Fredrick wouldn't have his hands on the Blessed Silver and the Full Moon pack wouldn't have been attacked just so Fredrick

    Jackson’s POVI shifted back to my human form as I got closer to the New Moon pack’s territory. I spied their routes and routines and when I thought it was safe enough, I slipped through, into the territory when I was sure the guards would be changing stations.True to Clarissa’s word, the guards didn’t seem to notice me either from sight or scent as I made my way past them. I was careful not to do anything that would bring attention to myself, even stepping on a twig or tripping over a rock felt too risky.I kept my head low and kept my senses sharp to avoid bumping into anyone and walked with my head bowed towards the centre of the pack territory.Every step I took I anticipated a fight because if even one person spotted me and knew who I was, I’d have the whole pack after me and nothing good would come from that. I needed to do this as quickly and quietly as I could. It helped that the pack members in this territory seemed content with keeping to themselves too, barely greeting or

    Elise’s POVI held onto Stella like she was going to disappear once again. I’d spent so long without her, my memory of her had been taken from me. So when this overwhelming feeling of comfort shot through my body it took me by surprise. She was my wolf. She was real. She was here.There was nothing wrong with me after all.I had waited so long, year after year as I watched other kids my age begin to shift for the first time, and whilst I knew I was in a dream, I knew that Stella was real, I knew that she'd finally been freed from the Blessed Silver.I nuzzled my face against her fur and she was just as eager to touch me too as she licked my face and nuzzled me right back. Two halves of the same soul finally reunited.“You’ve been alone for so long,” I whispered to her. Whilst I had my family, Stella was trapped in the pockets of my mind, only able to watch as I grew, was hurt and on my own too after my family died.“But I’m not anymore,” She mumbled in response.I wished she had the c

    Fredrick's POV It wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.In that dungeon, trapped like a common animal I had time to think. And in that time I thought of all the ways I could make them suffer. Make Jackson, the puny brat who barely deserved the title alpha pay, and most of all make Elise suffer ten times over.I’d planned to play nice, it wouldn’t do if the other packs saw me abuse my luna, but now I had no choice. I still needed her, her visions of the future would help me take control of the world, but I only needed her alive, not comfortable.“Alpha Fredrick, Master Caius requests your presence,” One of the filthy thralls knocked at my door, daring to order me around.I flashed my canines at the servant, but he was too drained to flinch or show any kind of emotion.I stood without doing more to acknowledge the thrall as I left the private room Caius had designated for me. I think he meant to be insulting. I was an honoured guest yet I got a ‘spare’ room and was being ordered around by a

    Elise's POVWe wasted no time hurrying to the dungeons, barely letting the warrior’s words sink in as we hurried into a run. I was a luna now, their luna, I didn’t have the privilege of time to be worried or scared because now I had people to protect.I barely felt myself breathe as I ran to the dungeons where Fredrick had last been held. We entrusted Christian with keeping the pack calm as we went to investigate.All the warriors were on guard and Jackson had given orders, “Secure the grounds and gather the trackers for footprints or anything we can use to find them!”When we saw the cells, they were still locked tightly, but the three of them had gone. There were no signs of struggle against the bars or the locks, no damage to the interior walls and the smell of wolfsbane was still thick in the cells.It was like they’d just vanished.I might've believed that too if it weren't for multiple guards passed out besides the three cells, not a mark on their body but looking pale and uncom

    Elise’s POVMy heart was hammering as the rope was wrapped around our wrists and I couldn’t help but stare lovingly at my mate. He was looking at me the same way and I felt like crying.This was it. This was my family. This was my home.My first encounter with Jackson had been me rejecting a pack, and now I was accepting one.“Honoured guests,” Clarissa started, “We are gathered here today, not just to join two mates together for eternity, but to welcome Elise Clares into our pack as our Luna.”Cheers erupted from the crowd and I found myself checkling, a happy tear escaping from my eye. I saw Annabelle and Christian yelling the loudest with Doctor Heath holding his mate close to him and kissing her at the top of her head.“Do you, Alpha Jakson of the Full Moon pack accept Elise Clares as your destined mate?”“I do,” Jackson said without any hesitation as his grip on my hands tightened slightly, “From the moment I met you Elise, I felt something pulling me towards you. At first, I tho

    Jackson's POVI took a deep breath feeling more nervous than I’d ever felt in my entire life. I was wearing a dark blue suit with a white rose pinned to my breast pocket, my hair styled and slicked back with The Alpha’s Crown placed securely on my head and my face cleanly shaven for once. Christian had said if I didn’t shave it he was going to strap me to a chair and do it himself. As much as I trusted my Beta, I didn't exactly want slices on my chin for my wedding day.I ran a hand over the smooth skin and tried to remember the last time I’d shaved it properly instead of trimmed, I'd always found the scruffy look made me look more intimidating and I was pretty sure Elise liked it. Oh well, I could grow it back. It seemed like I was trying to think of just about anything to pass the time as I waited fro Elise and tried not to fidget like an idiot.Christian was smirking next to me and I managed to subtly jab him in the ribs.I remembered making fun of him as he waited for Annabelle du

    Elise’s POVFrom the second I woke up I was pampered by Clarissa and Annabelle who seemed to be more excited than me for the Luna Ceremony, which was saying a lot considering I was jittering with nerves and excitement. I never expected to accept this kind of arrangement so quickly but it just felt like the right thing to do. I wanted this ceremony to happen, I wanted to officially be Jackson’s mate for the world to see and be the Luna of this amazing pack that I now called family.Annabelle shoved me into a large bath filled with so many bubbles, salts and essential oils that I didn’t think the smell of lilies and roses would ever leave my skin.Then they pulled me into a chair as they dried and styled my hair for what seemed like hours, not in a negative way because the two of them made me laugh as we took photos and told funny stories. They curled my hair so it fell like a wave against my back before they braided and tied it so I looked like a blonde Celtic princess.The makeup came

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate   Chapter 104

    Jackson's POVAfter we managed to get some kind of normalcy in the pack, there was still an air of stress and anxiety. We had multiple members of Fredrick’s pack join us and made sure we kept them far away from the dungeons and monitored them sufficiently just in case anyone tried to break Fredrick and the others out.“The guards and warriors won’t be too rough with them, will they?” Elise asked the last time I saw her, clutching my arm as she watched some of the refugees being directed to their houses looking terrified.I shook my head in assurance, “No, they have strict orders to treat them carefully unless they prove to be a threat, even then they are to take them down with as much force as is necessary and take them to the dungeon.”No one had seemed to try to convince any of my guards to let them pass into the dungeon or even look that way. Instead, they looked somewhat relieved to know that their former alpha was imprisoned there. Nor did they try to fight my pack. Elise was rig

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate   Chapter 103

    Elise's POVIt was strange walking through the dungeon, free and in charge rather than as a prisoner. I’d been held captive twice in two different dungeons and had to admit that I wasn’t a fan. Maybe that was because I hadn’t deserved it, but neither had the people who got experimented on at Fredrick’s hand. I felt no sympathy or empathy for the ex-alpha as we reached his cell.There were five guards posted in the dungeons, two to watch Fredrick, two to watch Melanie and one to watch Poppy. They all seemed serious and offered Jackson, Christian and me a bow of respect before immediately resuming their posture and attention.As we rounded to Fredrick’s cell, I had to stop and stare.He looked terrible, not the large, imposing alpha who made everyone tremble at just the mention of his name. His clothes were dirty and ripped, his hair was a greasy mess and he looked like a feral animal. I never thought it was possible to see him looking so pathetic and powerless.I noticed the large amou

    Elise's POVJackson asked if I wanted to move into the Pack House before the Luna Ceremony and I accepted. But before I could do that, I wanted to go back to the house I’d lived in when I first came to the pack. Before I could move into somewhere new, I wanted to say goodbye.I hadn’t lived in that house long, but it was the first thing that was mine and held a lot of memories like first connecting with Annabelle and Christian, the movie nights with Annabelle and just a general sense of safety and security.“I can go with you if you want,” Jackson offered when I first brought up the idea. “No, thank you,” I said softly, smiling at him, “I don’t have much to move… It’s just to say goodbye.”He didn’t argue or protest, he simply gave me a kiss on the cheek before I headed off.As I walked through the pack, I couldn’t help but reminisce how everything was different now. The first time I was newly out of chains and was being escorted to my new home by Christian. Everyone looked at me war

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate   Chapter 101

    Elise's POV It was a question we’d all been dreading and I knew that it was partially my fault. If it wasn’t for me then Fredrick would be dead in the dirt and the packs would have one less thing to worry about. But he wasn’t dead and though I knew it was the right decision I also knew that a lot of the other wolves, both in the council room or not would find it difficult to understand.“With all due respect, Luna, would you mind explaining further as to why we can’t kill him?” Doctor Heath asked me, treating me like his luna already though we hadn’t had the ceremony yet. The others might have been saying it out of respect but I knew that Doctor Heath had meant it. He had been one of my first friends when I came here and he'd helped me through so much that I could never thank him enough for it.“I know it’s hard to believe, but a long time ago my family were blessed by The Moon Goddess.”I paused, waiting for some kind of negative reaction. Encountering The Moon Goddess was rare and
