...Darius POV...I couldn't sleep. I felt like something bad was about to happen. It felt like there was something I should be remembering but couldn't.'Ash, what's going on? Is there something I'm forgetting?' I ask him through our mindlink.'I don't know. I feel it as well. But I don't understand it either.' Tired of feeling so restless, I decided to do the one thing that always helps me calm down."KEN!" I yell at him through our mindlink."What the F man! It's like FOUR IN THE MORNING?!?! Are you freakin kidding me right now?" Ken yells back at me for disturbing his beauty rest."Get up. I need to spar!" I shout at him."Now?! Why now? What do you have against sleeping?" He replies, clearly annoyed."Nothing when I can sleep. Which I can't right now, so you're going to help.""Oh, come on! Why do you need help? Isn't that what punching bags are for?""Yes. Except punching bags don't fight back.""So what if I don't fight back? Can I go back to bed then?""Just get your lazy ass

...Kenji POV..."Baby. I'm worried." I ask her.After our first class, I had a spare, so I decided to use the time to call Genesis and get her point of view. "What happened now?" Genesis asks."I don't even know where to begin." I say, throwing my hand in the air exasperated."Well, let start from this morning." She says, keeping her calm."Right. Well, Darius woke me up at four in the morning.""Well, that explains why you're so cranky now.""What? No, it doesn't... Hey... Wait! I'm not cranky!" I say."Surree.." She says, rolling the r."Whatever. That wasn't the point. He woke me up because he wanted to spar since he couldn't sleep.""Mhmm." She responds, knowing this isn't the first time he's done something like this. I swear, sometimes it feels as though he gets off on making my life miserable."Anyways, we had been at it for hours when I realized whatever was bugging him wasn't going away. So I asked him what's wrong. Which is when he told me that he felt as though he forgot so

...Wynter POV...In a matter of minutes, my life had completely gone upside down. I was pacing my room for the thousandth time today. I needed a plan. And I needed a plan fast. Ever since this morning when I saw Darius latch himself onto that girl, it felt like my heart had shattered into pieces. Not only that, but whenever they were intimate, it felt like my insides were burning.'We can reject him.' Caedance says to me.'It won't work. Rejection will only work if both parties agree to it. Something that will never happen, now that Darius has already found someone else. He's already moved on. So why would he reject us? We don't even exist.'I knew Caedance was upset if she was even suggesting rejecting Darius. She had been pro Darius from the moment we first laid eyes on each other. So I know it's killing her what's happening now. I can't help but blame myself for putting her through this. It's because of who I am that she can't have her true mate. Because I'm a tribrid, I won't be a

...Darius POV...To say I was surprised that Catherine turned out to be my mate is the understatement of the century. She had pined over me for years. To the point that I always tried to find other things to do whenever I knew she would be visiting. I just found her to be overbearing.She never hid her feelings for me. She would always tell everyone that I was her mate. I always hated the attention she gave me and wished that she would find her true mate so that she could finally be done with me. However, I was never that lucky.So when she turned out to be my mate, I was more than surprised. It was strange, though, as it felt like none of my emotions had truly changed that much since I had found out. I was always told when I was a kid how strong the mate bond was. It could turn enemies into lovers and strangers into the best of friends.I had anticipated that it wouldn't be any different for Catherine and me. But something felt off. I could still feel my past emotions for her but mix

Finally, after days of searching, I found her location. I jotted the address on a note, jogged down to the parking garage and grabbed one of the waiting cars. I keyed in the address and sped out onto the highway in pursuit of it.It led me to a quaint little cottage on the other side of town. I waited in the car, searching for any sign of her. The place looked empty. After all, it was the middle of the day, so she was probably at school, and her parents must be out for the day.I was about to pull away when something caught my eye. It was a dirtbike that was resting along the side of the garage. It caught my eye because it was nearly an exact replica of the one Darius used to have. I got out of the car and decided to inspect it further. I couldn't believe it. The two bikes were virtually identical to each other. Only this one had ribbons of orange and purple on it, and Darius' had green and blue. Since I was already here, I figured that I might as well see if anyone's home. I doubt

...Wynter POV...I knew it was risky, but I needed to tell someone. I felt so alone in all of this. I've lived with this secret for over four years now. The closest I had come to telling someone was when I had asked Miles to speed up my education. Thankfully, Miles agreed and managed to reschedule my exams for tomorrow. So once I'm done, I'm planning on going away. So regardless of what happens with my conversation with this guy, I know I'll have to leave."What's your name?" I ask. Realizing that he hasn't introduced himself to me."I'm sorry. How rude of me. I'm Kenji. Kenji Williams, and soon to be beta of the Blood Moon Pack." Kenji says, introducing himself.I nod my head, signalling to him that I understand. However, I feel on edge. Whenever I think of the Blood Moon pack, I can't stop thinking about my last moments there. When Alpha Xander basically ran me out of the country.Sensing my nervousness, Kenji continues."What's your name?" He asks, attempting to change the topic.

...Kenji POV...I felt absolutely horrible for breaking her the way I did right now. But I couldn't understand how she could live without her mate for so long. It was going against our very nature. No one could ever defy the moon goddess. It would only be a matter of time until the person caved. So the fact that she's stayed strong for four years alone is astounding.I pulled her into my arms to comfort her. I know the only person that could ever comfort her right now was the one person she was dead set against ever seeing again. A fact that only made this situation worse. When I had come here, I had come intending to find Darius' true mate and bringing her to him. The last thing I ever expected was to realize that their relationship was doomed before it ever begun."Why do you keep calling me Luna?" She asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.She pulled away from me, wiping her eyes. She sat up in her seat, tentatively waiting for me to respond."You may not be Darius' Luna, but you w

...Two Years Later......Darius POV...Ever since I found out Catherine was my mate, I found myself in a constant state of restlessness. I felt guilty, as I haven't been the mate to Catherine that she deserves. But regardless of what I did, I couldn't get myself to become closer to her. The closer she would try to get to me, the more I pushed her away. At first, I would bury myself in homework to keep myself busy.Since we hadn't completed the mating bond yet, I didn't know how she really felt. I saw the smile on her face, but deep inside, I thought she was hurting. I know she has reason to be upset with me. Normally the mating process is swift for werewolves. We typically find each other and complete the bond within the first month of discovering each other. But it was never like that with her. It was as though my mind was at war with my heart. In my head, I knew she was my mate and that I should be placing my claim on her. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get myself t

The Alpha’s Scorned 144. Epilogue
...BONUS CHAPTER......10 Years Later......Wynter POV...A lot has happened in such a short amount of time. Not long after the merger of our two packs, did more requests come. Alphas far and wide were coming to us in hopes of merging our packs. What had begun as an alliance designed to help strengthen the packs, soon became to act as a Peace Treaty. Each pack we aligned with, were given the same conditions as Crescent Moon. The ranking members would remain in power, so long as they came to myself or Darius for any critical decisions. We had merged with so many packs, that we were no longer separate packs, but one happy kingdom. One of my more recent projects was to create a city devoted to the rehabilitation of rogues. Those that had been rogue would now have the opportunity to reenter pack life once they were deemed to not be a threat. Many of which had already successfully made the transition. Given our extensive reach, we were more easily able to help those in need. We now had en

...Wynter POV...After a lengthy discussion we all came to the unanimous decision to merge with the Crescent Moon Pack. Everyone had very valid concerns for not merging with them, however, I knew Alpha Landon's pleas were genuine. He was only coming to us as it was his only option. Without a merge, his pack could be killed. A fate no Alpha would ever want for their pack. The five of us decided to go over a sort of job description if you will, for Alpha Landon. He would be a valuable resource, but at the same time we couldn't afford to give him too much power. In order to successfully merge the two packs, there had to be one concise leadership. If others felt that they could turn to Alpha Landon for their problems, it could risk a mutiny.So while Alpha Landon would have power, he would have to go through either myself or Darius to make critical decisions. It was the only safe way to merge the packs, while also allowing Alpha Landon a position as well.Before informing Alpha Landon of
The Alpha’s Scorned 142. Merger
...Darius POV...After Wynter and I had finished, we quickly showered and got ourselves ready to meet with Alpha Landon. I was confused as to why he suddenly showed up. But decided not to look too much into it until I had a chance to hear him out.Wynter stayed by my side as we entered my office. Alpha Landon was seated in the chair in front of my desk. However, he stood as Wynter and I entered my office. "Alpha. Luna." Alpha Landon addressed us, bowing slightly.I had walked over to my chair behind my desk. Wynter dutifully followed, and planned on standing behind me. However, Wynter was my Luna and my equal. Whatever Alpha Landon had planned on talking to me about, now involved Wynter. She had just as much say as what happened in this pack as I did. Which meant that I wanted her to be treated as an equal. I reached over to her, and guided her to sit on my lap. I smiled as Wynter quickly obliged my unasked command, and sat on my lap. I kissed the side of her cheek before turning to
The Alpha’s Scorned 141. Confidence
...Darius POV...I awoke to the sounds of birds chirping. I could hear a faint heartbeat nearby and felt an incredible warmth. I opened my eyes to see Wynter lying on top of me. Memories of early this morning began to swim in my mind. I kissed the top of Wynter's head, careful not to move her. She's been running at full tilt ever since she woke up from the hospital. We had nothing pressing that needed to be taken care of, so I decided to just lay here and watch her sleep. I smiled as I remembered our lovemaking from earlier. The feeling was so euphoric. We had both longed for this moment in so long, that it felt like we would never get it. Now that we had the chance, I never wanted this moment to end. Without even trying, Wynter made me the happiest man in the world last night. I began to daydream of our future together. Of Wynter chasing around our pups, as I watched from behind. I pictured myself training our son to fight and to become the next alpha. I pictured Wynter running to t

...Wynter POV...As Darius and I continued to run through the woods, I could feel Caedance grow stronger. It was almost as if we were feeding off of our surroundings. The rush was making us stronger. For the first time, I felt truly in control. I had the sudden urge to test my abilities. So far, Darius had managed to not only keep up with me, but he even managed to run past me. I was both stunned and proud. I wanted to perform a few tests of my own. Caedance had given me some suggestions, and I had wanted to see if they would work. Caedance had suggested we try to hide from Asher to see if he would be able to find us. Much to my surprise, he managed to find me each time. Typically when I would try to hide, I would attempt to cloak myself using a mixture of camouflage, similar to a chameleon. I would focus on my surroundings and soon found myself becoming invisible. I had to hide my scent from him as well, which was probably the most difficult task. Each time I had done it, Darius had
The Alpha’s Scorned 139. Carpe Diem
...Darius POV...The air in the room had gone serious as Wynter announced her suspicions. While Wynter and I hadn't had the chance to properly discuss what had happened, we were both suspicious of the outcome. People don't just come back to the dead without being changed. I also can't deny the change I felt inside of me. I had long suspected that I'd been changed, I just wasn't sure exactly how. I already felt far stronger than I already had been. To the point that I often found myself having to dial back my strength. I also felt far faster than I had been. It was as if all of my senses had been heightened. I could now see far better along with smell things from a large distance. I had gone for a run the night I had first woken up after the battle. I had a strong sense of restlessness. The urge to get out quickly became the only thing I could focus on. It was as if my entire body had been electrocuted. Every fibre in my being needed me to go on a run. To get out.I began to have flas
The Alpha’s Scorned 138. No Longer Alone
I felt uneasy as we made our way back to Darius' office. I could tell that Darius sensed that something was bothering me, but refrained from asking me. There was just one thing that I couldn't seem to forget. Once we made it back to the office, we all quickly resumed our positions. Darius sitting beside me, placing a hand on my knee as a sign of comfort. I found myself biting my lip as I continued to chew over the thoughts plaguing my mind.I looked over towards Kenji, waiting for him to restart the meeting. Kenji stood up, but didn't start the meeting right away. My anxiety started to run full-course. Before I knew it, I found myself speaking out."What does this mean for us?" I watched as all heads turned to me. Waiting for me to continue."What do you mean my child?" The oracle asks.I find myself nervously biting my lip. I look at Darius for support. I watch as Darius nods his head for me to continue."Xander had told me that if Darius and I completed our mate bond, that it wo
The Alpha’s Scorned 137. The Truth Comes Out
...Wynter POV..."Upon the seven daughters of the seven daughters, the completed ritual shall activate the rise of the true king. While lightning strikes twice, a proposal shall mark the age of love and become the fall of unholy ones. It shall be when fire burns red, the forgotten princesses face, will trigger the return of the resistance. Once the green sea swallows towns, a challenge shall mark the start of war and witness the return of the fallen. Those in power will bend to one knee, bowing before the lost queen.""So what does that actually mean?" Darius asks."It basically means that one the descendent of the Kazakh wolves finds her true mate. The true king will come about. A moment in time, born out of love, will result in the downfall of the ones unloyal to the couple.""But what about the princess triggering the return of existence?" I ask."Wasn't that when Xander first realized or at least suspected your origins? He constantly tried to keep you away from me." Darius remarks
The Alpha’s Scorned 136. History Lesson
...Darius POV...I was quite possibly the happiest man on earth. The love of my life just said yes to marrying me. She may have already said yes to me once before. But I didn't think it really counted. The first time I hadn't planned on asking her, but I thought there was no better time to do it. I had just shown her how I truly felt about her. No other moment would ever be as special. Even though we were mates, I didn't know for certain if she was going to say yes or not. A proposal isn't ruly a proposal if there isn't a ring. Something I had kicked myself for not having at the time. But it was just so spur-of-the-moment, that I had even surprised myself. While this may not have been the ideal proposal, at least I had a ring for her. I know it would never make a difference to her, but I felt she deserved the best. I wanted to show her how special she was to me. I would make up for my sporadic proposal later this evening. When Wynter was in the hospital, I was continuously plagued by
