The Alpha’s Scorned 39. Full Disclosure
...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

...Eight Years Later......Darius POV...It's been almost eight years since I found out that Catherine was my mate. I returned to the pack only a few minutes ago. I had promised my father that I would make it back in time for the Alpha Ceremony. I had actually forgotten about Catherine while I was gone. Travelling had helped to calm my restlessness. I couldn't explain it, but it was as though the distance relaxed my wolf. I know that doesn't make sense, and I'm probably just reading into things. I'm sure it was because my wolf knew she was safe being here, opposed to coming with me. As I had suspected, there were many challenges. My life was in danger on multiple occasions, but luckily, I persuaded the packs to join me. It was rough at the beginning, as many of the packs were reluctant to join. However, I explained the benefits of being aligned with us. While we were small, we were strong. We were easily one of the strongest packs in North America. I convinced many Alphas to align wi

...Wynter POV...It's been nearly ten years since I last saw Darius. The day after I talked to Kenji, I left England. I didn't have a destination in mind; rather, I just needed to be away from him. I found myself in Thailand and fell in love with the culture. There was a small wolf presence here, so I was able to blend in amongst the humans quite easily. Shortly after I arrived here, I found the pain had died down significantly. I stayed here for slightly over two years before I began growing restless once more. I didn't know why all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't stay here anymore. Or rather it felt like I was being pulled somewhere. Either way, I knew I had overstayed my welcome and quickly left. I went to Fiji next, however, I wasn't able to stay for long. Each destination I went to would start off great. The pain would subside at first, but then in about two weeks, Caedance would grow very anxious. Not allowing me to stay in the same spot. Rather it felt like she was constantl

...Darius POV...It felt like I was in a dream. A dream I never wanted to wake up from. I couldn't even describe the feeling I had. It felt like I was floating on a cloud. I was in a state of pure bliss. It was peaceful. As if any worry I had, had been wiped away.I was wrapped in a warm and comfortable embrace. I slowly opened my eyes, wanting to understand what was happening. I couldn't remember anything. What had happened?I looked around to see the ground covered in blood. The stench of rogues plagued the air. As I sat up, I felt something move from on top of me. I looked down, to see a girl hugging me. I had no idea who she was, but just by looking at her, I didn't feel like disturbing her. If anything, I wanted to wrap my arms around her.'Ash? What happened?''I don't remember exactly. I remember there being rogues, but not much else.' He replies.I nod my head. Still confused, but unable to take my eyes off the girl at my side. It was almost hypnotic. It was as though nothing

...Wynter POV...'How is this even possible?' I asked Caedance after we had made it safely away from him.'I don't know. I didn't know he was even here.'"You didn't? Then how did you manage to lead us there?''I think it must be because of our bond. We are still connected to him.''I've heard of mates being able to find one another, but not across continents. How did we manage to find him when we didn't even know he was here?''I don't know. Perhaps he felt the same pull we did?''But how?''I don't know.' She replies to me. Ever since I left Darius, I was beyond anxious. Everything inside of me was fighting to go back to him. I knew I had no other choice. I had to leave. I couldn't risk going back to him. We had gone much further than we should've done. It was as if I was in a trance. Seeing him alive after everything had happened, had managed to make me forget about everything that had happened. The only thing I needed was him. It was both a selfish and risky move. I couldn't beli

I left Croatia shortly after that happened, and continued to travel across the globe. I don't know how Darius managed to do it, but he always seemed to find me, regardless of where I went. We never saw each other again after what happened in Croatia. I managed to identify the feeling of Darius' proximity to me, telling me it was time to leave before Darius even got the chance to find me.After several years of travelling, I decided to go back to England. Since I had been gone for so long, I decided to go back to visit my family.Thanks to Miles, I managed to get my high school diploma long before other high school students. This meant I could get a full-time job without having to worry about having to go to school. Thanks to Phoenix and Ember, I managed to secure two really great jobs. I needed a distraction from my life, and working all of the time really helped. In the daytime, I led a boxing class at the gym Phoenix worked at. It was because of her training that I was able to get 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
The Alpha’s Scorned 143. The Alpha's Luna
...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
The Alpha’s Scorned 140. Chameleon
...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
