George had always been curious about the Alpha king's personal life. He had heard rumors about the Alpha's mate, Rose, and her past, but he never believed them. He never thought he would get the chance to see the Alpha and his mate up close and personal, let alone in such a private moment. But as he crouched behind the pond, hidden in the shadows, he couldn't believe his eyes.The full moon lit up the clearing, casting an eerie glow across the landscape. It was then that George saw them. Alpha King Alex and Rose. Together. In the open. He gasped, unable to control the shock coursing through his body.He had always known that the Alpha was a powerful leader, feared and respected by all. But seeing him like this, vulnerable and human, was something else entirely. And Rose, the woman he had only heard whispers of, was standing right beside him. They were so close that he could feel the heat emanating from their bodies, their breaths mingling in the cool night air.George couldn't believe
Serena’s POV:Josiah King, a strong alpha werewolf and " the first and oldest werewolf descendant in Atlantic” yet not the leader, loves me dearly. He has asked for my hand in marriage and desires to spend forever with me. And yet, I hesitate. My entire youthful life I have been used, neglected, and overlooked due to being an omega. My kind has always been at the bottom of the werewolf hierarchy. Though I cherish Josiah deeply, I long for more. I want our union to catapult me into power. I want us to rule the entire Atlantic kingdom together, with me by his side as his equal. An omega queen to match his alpha king. Fair to say the moon goddess has blessed me, sending Josiah my way. I never thought an alpha like him, with his history of taking omegas for granted, would love me so completely. His love feels sincere, and yet I wonder if he truly understands what I desire. Power. Leadership. Respect. Things I have been denied my entire life. Josiah has the opportunity to elevate me
Serena’s POV: For years, Alex had disappeared, and during that time, Josiah and his brother Japheth had been doing all the work in Atlantic Kingdom. They were highly regarded by all the werewolves and shewolves for their bravery and hard work, and they had been praised for their efforts in making the kingdom a peaceful place as well.Japheth was the son who always seemed to have it all - the perfect life, calm, wise, and married. I couldn't help but envy him in a way. He seemed to have a bit of everything that I wanted, and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his seemingly perfect life.But it was Josiah who had captured my heart. He was my love, and I knew all along that he had his eyes on the throne- the largest portion of his heart desires it. He wanted to be the alpha, to lead all the werewolves and Atlantic Kingdom. And when we fell in love, he promised to give me the world.I had always known that Josiah was ambitious, but I didn't mind. I loved him for who he was, and
Rosanne stared out the window, watching the leaves dance in the autumn wind. Her heart ached with a deep yearning - the wish for a grandchild. Her son Japheth and his wife Leona had been married for three years now. At first Rosanne understood their desire for time alone as a couple. But years had passed, and still no mention of children. Rosanne longed to hold a little bundle of joy in her arms, to teach them about the turning of the seasons and the magic of the moon. She wished a grandchild could carry on their family's wereblood, continuing the cycle of change that had shaped her son into the man he was today. And yet, silence. Not a word from Japheth or Leona about plans for children, or lack thereof. No hint of a growing belly under Leona's clothing. No news, good or bad, of a pregnancy. At first Rosanne waited patiently, trusting that children would come in their own time. But as more years passed, worry began to creep in alongside her desire. Had Leona been unable to con
Rosanne laughing, "Oh! Japheth, you look so much like your father when you laugh.”Japheth smiled, "Thanks, Mom. I take that as a compliment.”Leona smiling, "You know, Japheth, you have your own charm too.”“Oh, I know. I just like to tease my mother sometimes”, Japheth grinned. "Well, you're doing a great job at that”, Rosanne said as she smiled. They all laughed. Rosanne sighing, "but speaking of your father, I can't help but think about your older brother, Josiah.”Japheth POV:Mother, Leona and I were enjoying a happy meal together, laughing and discussing the happenings in the village. Then suddenly, mother's face changed as if some troubling thought had come to her mind. I asked her, "Mother, is everything well? What thoughts trouble you so?"She replied, "I was just thinking of Josiah, your older brother. He still has not married."I said, "Do not worry mother. I think Josiah has someone in mind, though he has not said."Mother smiled and said, "You are right. He has been s
The Kingdom was covered in a thick blanket of snow as the season of winter tightened its icy grip. Children bundled up in thick coats and wool hats, sledding down the frosty hills with gleeful shouts. For the werewolf packs, it marked the time of hibernation and rest. Luna, the Alpha female, gazed out from her mountain den at the silver landscape. Her son Charles,40, now an adult, came to her side. "Another season of change," she said solemnly. Winter always made her think of the lives that passed on, but also of new beginnings yet to come. The icy winds howled through the passes, seeking any gaps to invade the dens of the werewolves. Frost formed intricate patterns on the windows as the fires crackled inside, providing what warmth they could against the bitter cold. Townsfolk gossiped by their hearths, recounting stories of winters past when blizzards raged for weeks on end, isolating entire villages under mountains of snow. The forest fell silent under its heavy blanket of
Japheth’s POV:It had been a fortnight since mother left and Leona and I had been intimate. As I sat at the dining table, I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful body as she moved around the kitchen wearing nothing but a light, transparent shirt and skirt that hugged her curves perfectly. I knew she had her intentions, and it was getting harder and harder to resist her."Hey dear, you look gorgeous in those," I said, my voice thick with desire. Leona smiled and shook her hips, making the dishes rattle. She was always so playful, and it drove me crazy.I couldn't wait any longer, so I got up and rushed over to her. I pulled her close and kissed her deeply. The energy between us was electric, and I could feel my arousal building.Leona began to undress me, unzipping my pants as I pulled down her skirt. I lifted her onto the dining table, facing down. Her arms wrapped around me as we kissed passionately, waiting for the moment when I would enter her.Finally, I couldn't wait any longe
Rosanne’s POV:Fifteen years have passed and my first son, Josiah, has become the Alpha and leader of Atlantic. I couldn't be prouder of him. Seeing him push the Luna aside and take charge was a sight to behold. His Luna, Serena, is an excellent match for him. I can tell she feels on top of the world, and I can’t do nothing but stay happy to side with them and protect them as a mother should. However, I sense that greater danger is still coming, and I can't let my guard down.As I arrive at Japheth and Leona's house, I feel more comfortable and normal, just like we used to live. I'm grateful that they gave birth to Damon after five years of waiting. Now, he's fifteen years old, and he's so obedient, just like his father, Japheth. "Hey Dammy, come here. Don't go too far away," I call out to him.Leona greets me with a warm smile, and I can't help but feel blessed to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. "Good morning, mother. Hey, Damon, come here," she says, beckoning him over. Japhe

I thank you for joining me on this journey, for your insights, empathy and willingness to see the world through new eyes.

You have brought these characters to life simply by caring about their stories and journeys. And for that, I cannot thank you enough.
Rose’s POV:Five years have passed. I watch my son Jeremy play in the sand, giggling as Glenda and Daphne act as his aunties and George as one of his uncles. I sit on the porch remembering Alex, Jeremy's father and Charles, his kind uncle. I don't know what the future holds but I chose peace. "When you choose peace, be ready to say a lot of goodbyes," I often think.Jeremy looks at me, smiling. Then his eyes turn from blue to bright green. I gasp in shock. "Come here, Jeremy," I call to my little son. "You're safe under my love," I whisper. Alex is a lycan and I am half werewolf, half witch. The prophecy has long passed, yet here sits a child of two worlds. Jeremy cuddles close. I stroke his hair, thinking of the journey that brought us here. I thought I was fleeing my past, but it followed me in this precious child. Glenda comes to the porch. "All okay, Rose?" she asks, looking from me to Jeremy. I smile. "More than okay. This is where I'm meant to be."She hugs us both. "Family
George POV:I had made camp for the night and was sitting by the fire when I heard a sound in the bushes. I saw a frazzled young woman had collapsed unconscious. As I reached her, a lunar birthmark shone luminously on her back - this must be the girl I've sought for so long, the prophecy told of! I turned her over and gasped. "Isn't this Alpha King Alex's mate?" I hesitated, unsure what to do. But as I tried to leave, she grabbed my hand weakly and pleaded, "Please help me." I could not leave her so I took her in, building up the fire. When she awoke, I gave her food and water. The next day we set off towards Hazelwood together. As we walked, I felt honored to be helping fulfill the prophecy at last. Soon we came to a junction where my friends Glenda and Daphne greeted us. "George, still don't know the safest route to Hazelwood I see!" Glenda joked. "Very funny," I replied. "This is Rose. Rose, these witches will help guide us home." Daphne smiled warmly at Rose. "You're safe w
"Rose?" Charles whispered, stepping out of the shadows.I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're here," I whispered back. "I was starting to worry that you wouldn't make it.""Calm down, Rose," Charles said in a comforting voice. "We must leave quickly now." Charles led me to the mysterious hidden door and handed me a book he wrote about our family. "I will make sure to tell my unborn child about you,his Uncle," I vowed through tears. "Will you return?" Charles asked, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll make sure my unborn child knows his roots and father," I sobbed hard, thanking Charles for his love and care. "You must go now, Alex will be back from hunting soon," Charles said as we said our goodbyes, hoping we would meet again.I followed the secret passageway that Charles showed me, escaping from Alex's castle at last. Every minute I stayed was a minute too long, carrying Alex's cub but treated so cruelly. As I hurried through the passage, I rubbed my still-flat belly
Rose’s POV:"The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”After a week. The cold floor felt harsh against my knees as I scrubbed the chambers floor. My stomach churned again as a wave of nausea hit me. I swallowed hard, resisting the urge to vomit. I had to hide this from Alex, I didn't know how he would react. He had been so distant this past week, barely looking at me let alone touching me. The tender love I thought was blossoming between us seemed to be fading away. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them away angrily. What did I expect? I was just a slave, a plaything for him to use as he pleased. But I had started to hope for more. I thought he cared for me. Now I felt like a fool.My mind was troubled with dark thoughts as I worked. If things continued this way, I would have to find a way to escape. I couldn't bear much more of this. I needed to speak with the old physician, the only friend I had here. We hadn't ta
Alex’s POV:I had to go to my older brother Charles and tell him about Rose. It was difficult to admit, but I had to confess that she was the one. The prophecy was real. I stormed into Charles’s study, fuming with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me about Rose? That she is the one the prophecy foretold? I have fallen for the enemy!” Charles looked up calmly from his book. “I wanted you to find love, brother. Rose is special, she is your soulmate.”“She is meant to destroy me!” I slammed my fist on the table. “This is my life at stake. My kingdom. And you see me as the tyrant Alpha King that needs to be overthrown?”Charles sighed. “The kingdom needs change, Alex. Peace. Someone like Rose could help you become a better leader. A better man.” “I rule Atlantic with force to keep order. There is no room for peace,” I growled. “There has been no peace since you divided the packs. Became king after Josiah's treason. Mother would not have wanted this life for you, Alex."I glared at Charles.
George packed his bag slowly, lost in thought. Three weeks and he would be gone from this place. The events of the Christmas party played over and over in his mind. He had stayed quiet, not wanting to draw attention to himself. But now he knew it was time to leave. He had come back to Atlantic for one reason - to find the lunar girl, the prophecy girl. Yet after all this time, he was no closer to the truth. Meanwhile, those accused of crimes were being punished without mercy. Alex's werewolves terrified him. Part of him still wanted to fulfill the task he had been given. But the risk seemed too great now. Better to return to Hazelwood and the simple life he knew there. His hand touched the old coin in his pocket, the one that was supposedly tied to the lunar girl's destiny. He had held onto it all this time, a symbol of the mission. But now, it felt heavier somehow. A reminder of a duty abandoned. He sighed and zipped his bag shut. Three weeks and he would be gone, returning
Rose’s POV:I left the party and went outside for some space. I sat down with my wine, frustrated. After a few minutes, I noticed a small box carefully placed next to my seat. I picked it up and untied it. Inside was a card that said "Happy Birthday little sis." I was stunned. Could it be from the brother I thought was gone? I looked around to make sure no one was watching and opened the card. "You've grown up to be so pretty, stay happy. I'm watching over you little sis," it said. Tears streamed down my cheeks. When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance fading into the night - it was the black cloak person who had helped me before. Could it be my brother? I blamed myself for not realizing it sooner. Just the other night, I had stood close to him..."Rose!" Lebotha called harshly, walking over with her daughter Lisa. I quickly wiped my tears and stood up tall. I was not the girl Lebotha used to bully.As things were about to get heated, Alpha King Alex appeare
Rose POV:I took a deep breath and looked around at my surroundings. The castle was truly beautiful, though its beauty could not chase away all my doubts. Alex's words and gifts were kind, but I still wondered if he truly understood the pain he had caused me. As I wandered the hallways, I saw Alex approaching with a smile. "Good morning, Rose. I hope you are settling in well."I replied politely,"Good morning, Alpha. Thank you for your hospitality."He chuckled."Please, call me Alex when we're alone. There is no need for such formality between us." I nodded slowly. Over the next two days, Alex showed me great kindness. We took walks in the castle gardens and he told me stories of his childhood. Alex even arranged for us to ride the royal horses out on the trails surrounding the castle.As we rode side by side, Alex's horse came closer to mine."You look radiant today, Rose. I love seeing you smile." I could feel my face flush, but I tried to remain guarded. "Thank you, but do you trul
