Tristian ~Two Years Later~ "Congratulations! Our Luna appears to be two months pregnant." I can still hear Jim's excited announcement to us ringing in my ears and see Dahlia's stunned silence. "Because you're carrying an Alpha's pup, you'll give birth in about five months. I will get you some vitamins and a write-out on what you should and shouldn't eat." Jim continued at the time and it sunk in from there. I was going to be a father. My heir could be born soon if it ended up being a boy. I took Dahlia's hand at the time and we said nothing to each other. We only kissed one another and felt that close once again. Thinking back on it now, everything seemed to have fallen into place. We started to fix up a room for the pup and announced the news to the pack. Everyone was excited for us... well, all except one person: Samuel. When I met his eyes that day, I could see the hatred behind his cold stare and knew he had zero respect for me after what happened with Daisy. Many of the Omeg
Samuel I was always told the same thing by all the bullies in the pack: I was just an abandoned child hated by my parents. Moonlight Pack took me in and raised me or so they like to claim but it was the Omegas who raised me. With no way of raising my rank, I remained an Omega. The bullies got to me even if I tried to act tough. When I did cry I was all alone... until she reached out a hand to me. From the moment I met Daisy, I wanted to protect her. She was like a big sister to me back then but grew into my first crush quickly. What can I say? She was a lovely girl who cared so much about others while also being beaten down. I never understood why she was targeted so much. Should I be the lowest ranked? I had no family after all while she did. That thought was naive though as they never saw her as family. I could do nothing but watch as she was broken down and bullied. I wanted to help her so bad but I had no power and no one took me seriously. I wonder if they would have if they
Daisy I wake up the next morning and walk downstairs to make some breakfast. I hum softly to myself as I fry up some bacon and hear small footsteps rushing up behind me. "Mama!" A small boy clings to my leg and beams up at me. "Good morning!" I smile fondly down at my son and ruffle his hair. "Good morning, little pup. I hope you slept well." I feel Naomi's pride as we watch the little one. He is so perfect and sweet and I can't imagine my life without him. In the end, I decided to keep my pup. I didn't know if I'd truly love them, but I couldn't just kill them either. During my pregnancy, Aiden kept his word and stayed by my side. His sweetness made my heart ache. What if I could never love him? What if he lived the rest of his life this way? I didn't know how I felt because of everything going on. I went into labor seven months along and I panicked. It was two whole months early! Hours later, I gave birth to a baby boy and the moment I saw him, I knew immediately who the father
Aiden "... I love you too, Aiden." Hearing Daisy say those words brings more joy than I can express. I kiss her again and pull her back. It all feels like a dream but I never want to wake up. Two long years... that's how long I've waited for this moment. I didn't know if it would ever come because of how much Daisy went through in her old pack but I always held out hope. I never feared a complete rejection from her but if she didn't want me then what was I to do then? I pull back up and see her face blushing bright red. Her skin glows in the faint moonlight and her purple eyes shimmer as they reflect the stars. "You're so beautiful," I murmur making her blush even more. I kiss her deeply again and we end up falling back onto the grass. I pull back and look down at her. I see she looks nervous but also excited all at the same time. I understand why as I am too. The next step is to make it all official and mark each other. Is Daisy ready for that though? I want to show her that lov
Daisy "It's going to be a long night." I watch as Aiden shakes off his robe It's at this point that I find myself trying not to gawk at him. How is his massive cock going to going to fit without hurting? I whimper as my core aches for more of his touch. It's as if my body knows more than I do and that everything is going to be fine. Aiden hovers over me and kisses me deeply. The moment this started felt so right that I couldn't hold back. Any fears I may have had already melted away under my mate's touch. I can tell he's been worried about every little thing and he's so sweet for that. I let out a gasp as his tip rubs against my core and Aiden looks at me with concern. "Please... keep going. I'm fine, love." I say and kiss him. There's nothing more that I want more than him right now. Aiden nods and kisses me again. "Stay relaxed..." he says and in one swift moment, I'm suddenly full. I let out an airy gasp and he pauses. "Fuck... you're so tight, Daisy..." he groans and closes
Tristian I feel like I'm drowning. It feels like water is surrounding me and no matter how much I struggle, I can't reach the surface. It's hot and cold all at the same time and my chest aches while I try and catch my breath. As I continue to struggle, I hear muffled voices calling my name. Where are they? All I can see is endless darkness. The pain I feel comes in waves and nothing I do relieves it. "Please..." I mutter out loud. "Please stop... it hurts... it hurts...!" I force myself not to cry out. The darkness is suffocating me. How can I escape it? Suddenly I feel hands on me. Are they trying to pull me up? Or down? Suddenly I see a light and the voice becomes clearer. "... an... tian... TRISTIAN!!!" I jump awake and pant heavily. Before I know what I'm doing, I feel someone struggling underneath me, and 'her' image comes into focus. In my confusion and daze, I growl and glare down at her. "You stupid bitch..." Why is she still haunting me? Why can't I get her out of my head
Samuel For a few months now, I've been searching for her, but still, I haven't found a trace. Victor growls in frustration but we have to keep moving. She has to be ok... she's out here somewhere, I just know it! "You better be alright, Daisy." I snarl and shake out my fur. Living as a rouge isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, I don't have any packmates to count on and chat with, but I can take care of myself. The freedom is welcoming as well. I no longer have to do chores and be treated like a lesser wolf by the so-called higher-ranked wolves either. The one thing that bothers me though is the loneliness. I've never been alone like this before even as an orphan. I always had Freda who cared for me as if I was her grandson and the other Omegas who cared about me like a sibling. Being completely alone with only my wolf is such a big change. I let Victor take over so that he can hunt for us and wonder into my memories. Freda was also a constant in my life, but then so
Daisy I stare in stunned silence as I watch Samuel. He's changed so much since I last saw him too. Instead of being a skinny and awkward teenager with carrot hair and many freckles, he's now strong. He's grown into his features well and I can even call him handsome. "Daisy... there you are..." Samuel says with a laugh and smile. He looks so relieved too but all the tension melts away from him and he looks exhausted. "... Help him get cleaned up," I order. "He's an old friend of mine so treat him like a guest," I add. I look over to Peter and note that he's staring wide-eyed at Samuel. "Peter?" Then I see my mate's face. "Aiden...?" Aiden looks so pale like he's seen a ghost. Why is he staring at Samuel like this? I put a hand on his arm and he jumps. "Y-yeah... follow what Daisy says." He mutters and turns away. I hesitate as he walks away and look back to the others some of the Omegas leading Samuel away. Peter shakes his head and looks at me. "Go after Aiden, Luna. He'll... nee
LeahSeveral months have passed since we brought Tristian back to Royal Pack. Since then, he's been going through a harsh hazing but otherwise seems in high spirits. Going from Alpha to Omega didn't drag him down too much—he seems to have something to look forward to. The fact that it's me always makes me blush.The more I watch Tristian, the prouder I am to have him as my mate. He never complains about how he's been treated and just does his work. Of course, it’s mostly cleaning and carrying things around. He’s hopeless at cooking—no need to poison anyone with that!I giggle at the thought, though my stomach twists with anxiety. I have something I need to tell him, something very important, but every time I try, I feel like I’m going to faint or my heart will explode.You'll do fine, Leah, Eden tells me. I sense her wagging her tail with excitement. I have a feeling you’ll be very warm and comfortable tonight as well. She’s teasing me, yet she’s just as anxious as I am.“We both will
TristianThe first thing I notice when I wake up is the smell of bitter herbs and a familiar room. I sit up quickly and immediately regret it as a massive dizzy spell hits me. I groan and force myself not to throw up. Once again, I find myself in the Royal Pack's healer home... Leah’s home.“Oh, it looks like you’re finally awake,” a familiar voice says, and my heart sinks. I look up and see Xander leaning against the wall.“You were in rough shape, though, so perhaps it’s to be expected. You’ve only been gone a couple of weeks, and you’re already in such a state… You must have more enemies than I expected.”I grimace and lower my head. “I only met one enemy so far. She wanted me to suffer, so… I doubt she would have killed me.” I clench my fists. “At least... not for a long while, anyway.”Xander nods and tilts his head. “Carmen told me it was someone Leah called Penny. Can I assume it's your old friend Penelope?” He chuckles when I look at him in surprise. “I keep up with the other
TristianMany questions are racing through my mind especially with Leah being here right now and even saying she isn't here to reject me. I want nothing more than to hold her close and continue to redeem myself to be the mate she deserves.Maybe everything will work out in the end. If Leah accepts me, then maybe I'll have a clean slate to work with. Of course, I don't expect us to jump into being mates. A trial period will be needed so she knows she can trust me. I also need to know I can trust myself.As I think more about it, I picture my life with Leah. I won't be an Alpha anymore... yet that doesn't bother me at all. Instead, I see myself helping her mix up herbs for her patients and even doing small chores around the pack.In a way, it's a relief not to have all that pressure anymore. I won't have a pack to think for nor be responsible for everyone as a whole. I'll be part of a pack at least and won't go insane. I'll have a home, a beautiful mate, and a bright future. Even if my
Leah“Your mate?” Penny’s voice yanks me back to the present. She bursts out laughing so hard that tears spring to her eyes. Wiping them away, she grins. “Oh, you poor little fawn... to think the Moon Goddess hates you so much she’d give you such a useless piece of trash for a mate! I feel so sorry for you.”I flinch but take a deep breath. This isn’t the kind teenager who once comforted me. No—this is a rogue starving for revenge. A pack wolf driven to madness by years of exile. The Penny I knew is long gone.“What are you going to do? Let the Beta wolf loose on me so you can save him?” Penny smirks darkly, her eyes flashing with wild fury. “Over my dead body... you’ll never save that bastard.”In a flash, she lunges, but Carmen meets her halfway.“Go assess the damage! I’ll hold her off!” Carmen shouts, already engaged with Penny.I freeze—but only for a moment. Then I run into the cave, grimacing at the sharp, metallic scent of blood… Tristian’s blood.The farther I go, the stronge
Leah "So Tristian is close by?" Carmen asks again as we walk through the forest. "Eden can dream-walk in his dreams because he's nearby, right?" I sigh patiently, though I'm more annoyed than anything. I've grown used to acting this way since I’m the pack healer, but sometimes I have to explain things multiple times like I'm speaking to a pup. "Yes, that's correct," I say, glancing around. "She's with Silas right now tending to his wounds, so we need to get to Tristian soon." My stomach twists with anxiety. "It's not good... that's all she would tell me." Carmen's sympathetic gaze only makes me more antsy. I don't need that right now—I need her focused and determined to get this done. "It's alright, Leah. I have your back, no matter what. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be on this journey with you," she says, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. Maybe it should be, but I can't help the nerves. "I know. I just..." I swallow hard and keep walking. I don’t know what to say—espec
Silas The wild winds of the rogue forest lure me in. I hear the call and can't ignore it. With each step, sharp jolts of pain run through my paws, up my legs, and deep inside my head—yet I keep running. The deeper I go, the less it hurts. Who wouldn't listen? Who wouldn't seize the chance to escape the pain? 'Silas... stop running!' A faint yet familiar voice calls after me. Fearing more vengeful wolves, I speed up even as the pain blinds me. Even though it's fading, it's still excruciating. 'Silas!' The voice calls again, but I don't look back. However, it's only getting louder, fast approaching. Feeling cornered, I spin around and snarl. She stands before me, panting faintly. 'Silas...' she lowers her head and wags her tail gently. As she slowly approaches, I growl, baring my teeth. If I have to, I will use them! However, she stops right in front of me and tilts her head to the side. 'It's okay... you're safe with me. Let me help you... just like before.' Her scent hits me, and
Tristian I stir and let out a small whine suddenly aware of all the pain I'm in. My head is pounding painfully and my flank burns wet with something. As I lift my head to look, wet and dried blood cakes my fur. What's going on? What happened? "Oh, so you're finally awake, Trisy." I tense hearing Penny's voice and snap my head over towards the sound. Penny sits in the shadows her green eyes gleaming wildly. "It's about time... of course, pack wolves are such whiny weaklings after all." She purrs softly. 'Penelope...' I start but Penny only smiles slowly and stands up. She stalks towards me as if I'm nothing more than a piece of prey. 'I'm no longer a pack wolf... I...' Penny stops in front of me and giggles softly. "You honestly don't think I know what's been going on?" She asks innocently and kneels to my level. "You're nothing more than a useless rogue. The lowest of the low, even worse than the Omegas you loved to insult with your bratty love interest. You need to learn your pla
Leah "Oh, I didn't know that you knew Tristian as a child," Carmen says as we sit around a fire taking me out of my memories. The smell of fish slow roasting makes my stomach rumble. "You acted as if he was a stranger before so I didn't even think..." "It's alright." I shake my head. "He gave me strength at that point and I even stood up against Talia because of him. He was nice at that point... stayed with me all that time and his friend Penny kept me company until I had to leave for Royal Pack." Remembering the kind sweetheart I met just over twenty years ago is bittersweet for me. I long put that version of Tristian behind me but then suddenly he came back out of nowhere. Who knew he'd become my mate after all... especially when someone like me became his second-chance mate? Carmen frowns. "I never went to those meetings until I was much older... same with Xander too. We were away training by then. We didn't even meet until much later when you were officially old enough for th
Tristian ~Age 11~ By the time we make it to the meeting site, I've already pushed Dahlia's glare out of my mind. What can she do anyway? She's just being a brat like Penny says and wants to have her way regardless if she's in the right or not. Makes the pity Penny feels for her twin sister make more sense. "Come on, Trisy!" Penny nudges my side bringing me out of my thoughts. "You look so weird when you're serious! It doesn't suit you at all!" I pout and glare at her making her giggle. "Let's go and explore!" She grabs my arm and drags me away. Shouldn't I stay with father? I look back and see him watching us with nothing more than amusement. I relax because of it and look forward again. Maybe I'll be able to have fun during this pack meet-up after all. "So who do you wanna meet?" Penny asks curiously. "Only meeting other future Alphas sounds boring to me! Knowing many other wolves can be helpful in the future!" She adds cheerfully. "Alliances, battles, friendships, enemies... so
